“Is this the same hamster? Is this not a hidden camera?”

    I was nervous until I got to the hospital and waited for the examination. Of course, Hamshik died and came back to life.

    It’s not impossible that Ji-hyeon made a mistake. But it’s unlikely. I also confirmed that Ham-shik’s breathing and pulse had stopped.

    So even though Hamshik was resurrected, he opened his eyes again in the same form.

    I had a delicious breakfast and was moving around vigorously, but I still couldn’t help but be worried.

    I don’t know exactly where it comes from, but there’s a saying called “a sudden awakening before death.” It’s like coming to your senses for a moment before you die.

    It could be that Hamshik was in that state and was in good spirits. It could be that the angel who was trying to take Hamshik away gave him a little time to sort out his last moments.

    So I was worried, but when I heard the cow doctor examining Hamsik here and there, I had hope.

    “Oh, Nami is broadcasting. But the camera isn’t rolling. Is there something wrong…? ”

    “Hmm, if it’s wrong, then it’s wrong. But it’s ambiguous to say it’s really wrong. My physical age has decreased. My health is also excellent. It’s a shame that I can’t show you exactly what I see. What on earth happened?”

    My physical age has decreased. That means Hamshik has become younger. I hugged Hamshik with my heart full of emotion.

    “Wow, Hamshik. Did you hear that? You’re not a grandmother anymore! You’re an aunt!”

    “Keeek!”

    Hamshik, who didn’t react much until I hugged him, screamed at the word “auntie.”

    Even though she’s gotten younger, she’s not like that hunchbacked old lady has become a child. Isn’t she an aunt?

    “Oh, you’re not married yet, so you’re not a housewife. But you’re going to marry a sex worker.”

    “Weren’t we married? Darling, were we just lovers who kissed?”

    Honestly, I think Saekmusae is making a mistake. But since Hamshik has never said that he dislikes Saekmusae, can’t we assume that they like each other?

    If you really hated it, you would be screaming right now. You just keep your nose up and stay still.

    While we were making such a fuss, Narin asked the cow doctor again.

    “Then, is it okay to say that ham diet has increased life expectancy?”

    “In this day and age, people who change their appearance aren’t just stories from a novel. Animals are often seen like that. Hamshik’s lifespan has probably increased, too. No one knows how many years or decades it will be. So, I hope the guardian lives a long time and lives happily with Hamshik and his other friends.”

    “Ahaha, I will. Thank you.”

    A complete transformation. I don’t know what it is, but it’s probably something like returning to a healthy state like Hamshik.

    I don’t know the English, but they say it’s neither strange nor bad. So I was able to hug Hamshik and be happy without worry.

    “Hehehe, since Hamshik said he got younger, his fur seems to be shinier too.”

    “People and animals alike, their hair gets fluffy as they age. Well, then I’ll give you a preventive shot. I couldn’t give you one last time because you were old, but now that you have more time to live, it’s better to get a shot.”

    “Keeek!”

    But thanks to the good news, the peaceful examination room became noisy again because of the injection the doctor took out.

    It seems that Hamshik recognized the injection. As soon as he saw it, he ran and hid under the desk.

    “The hamster knows how to give injections… … . Have you ever gotten an injection at another hospital? It seems like it suffered some trauma.”

    “Ah, that’s… … .”

    Narin looked at me cautiously. It seemed like she thought I would be afraid of injections too.

    But I’m okay. I got my shots at the pet shop I used to go to.

    Honestly, compared to when I had a bone marrow extraction for cancer in my past life, it wasn’t that painful, just a little injection that stung my skin.

    And we gave ourselves a good injection, right? So it can’t be bad.

    However, I wasn’t afraid of the injection because I figured out the background by myself. Hamshik probably didn’t know what kind of injection it was when he got it.

    If you ever got a flu shot or something like that, you might have been sick for a few days, so it’s natural to have bad memories of the shot.

    Even the stinging sensation at the right moment falls within the range of pain.

    Still, I felt like Narin and the cow doctor were being conscious of me for no reason, so I put my hands on my waist and grumbled.

    “Ahem. I’m not afraid of injections because I’m older than Hamshik.”

    Narin picked up a pen and wrote something on the desk. Could it be that she was discussing ways to catch Hamshik without him hearing?

    The cow doctor also saw that and answered me.

    “I see. You really are a respectable older sister. Hmm, right. Then I understand. But I think it would be better to get a shot than to get sick later.”

    “Should I put the hamster to sleep and then give him a shot? Something like sleeping gas.”

    “That’s not good for your body. They use it comfortably in movies, but if you really use it, it’s harmful to your health. It can even be fatal to small animals.”

    Oh. Why do you insist on whispering when you could have just kept talking in writing? Hamshik has such good ears that he must have already heard everything.

    Look, he’s already scared of needles, so he’s crawling under the desk and shaking.

    I thought I had to appease Hamshik first, even though it was just a syringe. So I went under the desk and sat down next to Hamshik.

    It seemed like the color bird was trying to get in with us, but unfortunately there wasn’t enough space for the color bird to get in.

    “I’m going to change too! I’m going to shrink and become like Hamshik and Saeaeaek… … .”

    “Eww, you slut. You shouldn’t say things like that here.”

    But since Jihyun stayed outside, Saekmusae won’t be lonely. Then it’s my turn to take care of Hamshik again.

    “Hamshik-ah, are you scared of injections?”

    Hamshik is a hamster with strong pride. He doesn’t care about things that aren’t that important, but if his pride is touched, he gets angry and screams right away.

    If that kind of hamster is trembling, then it seems like he’s afraid of injections. How should I appease him?

    “Hamshik, did you get a shot before and it hurt a lot? But that shot prevented you from getting hurt more. If you hadn’t gotten the shot, it might have hurt more.”

    First, I gently explained the concept of vaccination while stroking her. She must have been afraid of injections until now because she didn’t know this.

    Thanks to that, Hamshik’s trembling has subsided a little, but he still shows no signs of going outside.

    I could have forced Hamshik into giving him a shot, but I thought he’d be too scared, so I decided to give him some carrots this time.

    No, not really carrots. If it were a ham diet, I’d eat carrots, but anyway, it’s a metaphor, a metaphor.

    “This time, if you get a shot, it might hurt for a little while. But that’s because it’s to prevent you from getting more sick later, and it weakens the bad things that will enter your body. Then, our body adapts to fight them. It’s good for your body, but Hamshik is too scared. Let’s get this shot and go eat something delicious.”

    As soon as he said that, Hamshik stopped shaking. Then he started crawling out on his own two feet.

    “Then let’s use medicine. It’s harder to give medicine to animals than to give them injections, but they are so afraid of injections… … .”

    But while I was trying to persuade Hamshik, it seemed like someone outside was coming up with their own solution.

    And perhaps because he heard the sound of eating, Hamshik’s legs, which had been crawling slowly, suddenly accelerated.

    “Eww, Hamshik! Let’s go together!”

    Hamshik was rock climbing along the side of the cow doctor’s desk. I barely managed to follow Hamshik up, and Hamshik looked at the cow doctor as if telling him to hurry up and give me the medicine.

    The dairy doctor also looked at the ham diet as if it was a novelty.

    “Is Hamshik taking his medicine well? He suddenly came back like this at the sound of medicine.”

    “Uh… … . I’ve never really taken any medicine. Rather, I think I reacted to the words “I’m taking it.””

    “I think so too.”

    Narin is right. Even I don’t know what the medicine is, so I was shocked when she said to just take it.

    “As expected, it’s ham-sik! There’s no gacha when it comes to eating!”

    “Colorado, this is when you have to be merciless.”

    Leaving Saekmusae and Jihyun’s puns behind, the cow doctor filled the needle-less syringe with liquid medicine.

    Hamshik flinched for a moment at the sight of the injection. But it must have realized that it was something to eat because it was being shoved into his mouth, not his back or butt. Judging by the way he opened his mouth wide.

    The cow doctor kept giving medicine to Hamshik, and Hamshik took it well, flicking his tongue.

    Honestly, Hamsik ate it so deliciously that I was curious about what it tasted like, so I was going to ask for just a bite.

    “This is the first time I’ve seen a hamster that takes medicine well.”

    “Ahaha. Hamshikki can’t stand to eat.”

    “Really? This is really bitter.”

    “… … .”

    After hearing that, I saw that Hamshik’s face was distorted in a strange way, and I thought it was a good thing I didn’t say anything.

    It was the same face you had when you licked the mustard sauce while eating fried chicken last time.

    Hamsik hated the injection so much that he could handle the bitter taste. Heh, that’s why I’m older than Hamsik.
