“Eww, what are you!”

“Oh, I think I explained everything to you yesterday morning… … . No, it’s this morning. Anyway, did you forget?”

“No, I thought it was all a dream, but it wasn’t… … .”

Narin, who had been so calm at night, opened her eyes, stretched, and then screamed in surprise when she saw a ghost.

If it were a normal day, I would have woken up and eaten the breakfast that Narin prepared for me, but the commotion made me open my eyes wide.

It’s a ghost! But it wasn’t as scary as I thought, it was a shabby ghost crouching in front of us.

A ghost who doesn’t have long hair that covers his face in a sinister way, and whose clothes are simply not appropriate for the season, but are refreshingly worn. So he just looks like an ordinary person.

I just felt sorry for him after hearing his story while I was half asleep, that is, not fully awake.

That may be why Narin screamed so suddenly. And it was quite possible that she would have done so.

“Then should I explain it again? If you heard it while sleeping, you might have forgotten. First, let’s start from the point where I died… … .”

Because ghosts are so timid, they seem harmless. Maybe that’s why Narin sighed deeply and waved her hand.

“No, I remember. So first, let me introduce you to your parents, and then what… …. Until you meet the grim reaper or the god of death, you should hang out with other ghosts.”

“Well, it’s okay to be alone rather than hanging out with others.”

“I’m not okay. If you just stay alone and start floating around here, you’ll end up going to other people’s houses without them knowing. That’s why you came to my house too.”

“Ehehe.”

“Is it time to laugh, now?”

If a stranger had broken into the house, there would definitely be chaos as they would be looking for the police. But since he was such a weak ghost, Narin’s expression was almost like she had given up.

“But I guess it’s fortunate that no evil ghost came and said, “Give me my house!” What’s your name, Mr. Ghost?”

But anyway, Narin’s expression didn’t look good. I didn’t want Narin to start the day in a bad mood, so I comforted Narin and asked the ghost.

If you keep calling me that, I’ll feel a bit embarrassed.

“Ah, I’m Ah-hyun. Park Ah-hyun. Uh, can I at least give you my full name… … ?”

“If you tell me your name and then call it three times, I’ll have to follow you to the afterlife, right?”

“What is that? You seem to know a lot about occult stuff.”

“I don’t think it’s on the occult level. It’s a very famous story. … … Well, call me Narin. ”

Oh, I know that too. The legend that says you have to follow the Grim Reaper when he calls you three times, “Inamin, Inamin, Inamin.”

Was that why she felt uncomfortable? Narin only told me her first name, leaving out her last name. I was also anxious and hid my last name.

“I’m Namin! This is Hamshik.”

“I’m Jihyun.”

“What the f♡♡k! Just pass by!”

While we were introducing ourselves, the magpie approached us and made a fuss again, perhaps because it was curious about the sight of a stranger.

The ghost that saw that was driven to the wall and trembled. Was it afraid of birds?

“Hey, your parrot pronunciation is really good… … ? You’re not a monster parrot, are you… … ?”

“Oh, yes. The color bird speaks quite fluently. I’ll feed the kids and take them to another ghost on my way to work.”

“Thank you. I’ll be waiting… … . By the way, Narin, don’t you eat breakfast?”

“My stomach gets bloated when I eat something in the morning.”

“Ah.”

Anyway, maybe it was thanks to my mediation, but Narin’s expression became much more relaxed.

It’s better to know each other’s names than to not know each other at all. We might even keep seeing each other at restaurants until we reach Buddhahood.

And I also had my own calculating motive. If anything went wrong with Hamshik, I wanted to call Ahyeon and have her help me at least say hello to Hamshik.

I’ve never seen anyone die before. I don’t know if they just gasp for air and pass out, or if they’ve been sick for days and then stop breathing.

It would be so sad if we parted ways without even saying goodbye.

Hamshik was stroking his shaggy fur with his hands soaked in saliva, regardless of whether others were speaking or not.

But thanks to Ahyeon, I get to see Hamshik grooming himself like this. I never saw him because he always wakes up before me.

“Even Hamshik wears makeup because he’s a woman. But I think Hamshik with messy hair would be cute too. Eeeeek!”

I was teasing Hamshik for no reason, and Hamshik tripped me and passed over me. As a result, Hamshik’s belly fat pressed against my head, making my hair all messed up.

My hair is already long enough to reach my butt. If I leave it like this, it will easily get tangled.

Normally, if you just leave it alone, the hair will grow out on its own, so there’s no need to take care of it like a hamster. But if it becomes like this, it’s a different story.

I also followed Hamshik out of the cage while fixing my disheveled hair. Jihyun, who saw me in the house on the first floor, followed me with a snicker.

“Namina, I’ll help you.”

“Ugh. Hamshik just ran over me like a tank and I got all tangled up like this.”

“… … I think you tried to untangle it with your hands and it got even more tangled.”

“Oh, that can’t be!”

I’ve started eating all the food my mom made for me. Now, I just heat up two cups of rice for breakfast.

First, Hamsik ate all of one. The three of us shared the rest, and then Hamsik came over and ate half more.

If you just look at her strong appetite, she seems really healthy. But this ham-eating woman is a grandmother. The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it becomes.

“Then, I’ll start going to work soon. Oh, I’m already sad about going to work after the holiday, and I can’t even sleep… … .”

“I’m sorry… … . I will never forget this favor. If possible, I will tell you the lottery numbers… … .”

Narin goes to work only after we finish cleaning up what we ate. Ahyeon also quietly follows Narin out of the house.

“Bye! I hope you meet Mom and Dad! I’ll call you later to see if we’ve met!”

“Thank you. But if you call, will I be able to answer?”

Ah-hyeon, who didn’t know where she was going, had such doubts, but I, who knew that I would end up going to the underground restaurant and spending time with other ghosts anyway, just smiled brightly.

What if I get Narin’s number and call the company cafeteria, wouldn’t someone pick up and put me on the line?

… … But can ghosts use the phone? Right now, we’re talking face to face, so communication is possible.

If you can’t exert physical force, you can’t transmit sound through a telephone, because sound is a wave.

What we’re talking about now might not be sound, but something like telepathy.

Well, anyway, if you can’t get through on the phone, you can just go and ask in person.

You don’t have to ask the color mouse or the bold guy for that, because now you can do it with an RC car.

I must have seen off Narindo as she went to work. Today, I’m really going to finish making Hamshik. Anyway, I just need to make the hands and feet and add the eyes.

I turned on the camera on my phone and used the Hamshik as a backrest while I played around with the rubber clay.

Hamshik also seemed to find it bothersome to move rather than leaning against his side, so he just lay there quietly.

Or maybe it’s because I want to see Hamshik finish his mini-story. Of course, this is just my wish.

It’s hard to imagine that Hamshik would be interested in anything other than food.

Make dense front legs and cute back legs and attach them to the mini earring. That’s it, the mini hamster is complete.

Of course, I showed this to Hamshik first. He was probably watching from behind anyway.

“Ehehe. Is this you?”

How will Hamshik react when he sees something that looks exactly like him?

If it were a regular ham-eater, he might yell “Kkieeeek” and tell me not to say anything weird.

If you think about the positive aspects, it’s that you quickly lose interest and turn your attention elsewhere because you’re not going to eat it after staring at it.

The first few seconds were as I expected. Hamshik was staring intently at his own mini-eye, as if he was checking to see if it was really him who had created it.

But come to think of it, Hamshik’s eyes are really dim, just like grandmothers’. It seems like he can only recognize things that have similar outlines and colors to himself.

“Wow! Double the ham diet! No, this is a small ham diet, so I should say 0.1 times.”

“Colorful bird. Since there is already a ham diet, it should be 1.1 times.”

“Then there are two ham-type diets and a mini ham-type diet, right?”

“Then it’s a 2.1 ham diet.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“… … Anyway, it’s exactly like Hamshik, Namin-ah. You’re amazing.”

“Hehehe, I worked hard on it.”

As Hamshik-i was just staring without any reaction, Saekmusae and Jihyun came over and intervened.

I felt a little proud for no reason. It was a gift I gave to Hamshik, but I was a little disappointed because Hamshik didn’t react.

So, at this point, I was thinking about where to store the mini hamburgers.

Suddenly, Hamshik carefully lifted Hamshik Min-ee-cheo with his front paws and ran off somewhere.

“Huh? Hamshik-ah?”

I suddenly followed him to a place he was going, and the place he arrived at was the skull-shaped box house he made yesterday.

When I went to the newlywed house with Saekmusae and carefully put down the Min-i-cheo, it looked like Hamshik really thought I had given him a present.

The magpie that saw that spread its wings and started to flutter.

“Ah. Namin was the grandmother of the three gods! She brought us a baby instead of a crane!”

“Samsin Halmeoni! That’s too much! At least call me Samsin Unnie!”

Whether we were talking outside or not, Hamshik really treated her like a baby, and Mini Hamshik lay down next to her and settled down.

Is he trying to play house? Either way, I’m happy because Hamshik seems to like it.

I should upload this to YouTube!
