274 – The Nymph, the Girl, and the Dog Squirrels # 2

There is a hierarchical relationship between living things.

They are prey and predator.

A predator is a being that eats its prey.

In the natural world, tiger owls are the biggest predators at the top of the pyramid.

Moreover, Kalinoi was larger and more magnificent than ordinary tiger owls, and as he was originally a nymph, he was very intelligent and sometimes even ruthless.

He played an active role in China’s Biwu Emperor and even received the title of ‘Bongbong’ Kalino, the seal of the best.

In comparison, what about Squirrel, a small baby squirrel?

Baby Squirrel Squirrel was a dog squirrel smaller than the palm of a person’s hand.

It was so young that it couldn’t properly use the basic technique of dog squirrels, the ‘Body Slam’, let alone special moves such as ‘Whirlwind Clap Cham’.

The squirrel jumped towards Kalinoi with a sharp growl and hit its body.

Bang!

It sounded pretty good.

It sounded like a skillful boxer lightly hitting the mitt.

━Whoo, whoo… ?

Of course, compared to the large size of the Kalinoi, the attack from the dog squirrel, which was as small as a fist, might not have been of much use.

However, Kalinoi seemed quite taken aback by the unexpected attack, and after landing on the ground, he often walked towards me.

━Whoo, whoo… !

“I know. “It seems like your relationship is better than I thought.”

━Kung… !

The dog squirrel climbed up on Ji-hoo Lee’s shoulder and licked his cheek. For dog squirrels, the act of licking someone is an act of encouragement from a superior to a subordinate.

In other words, Daram seems to have thought of little Ijihu as her younger brother or subordinate!

Even so, I never thought that when Lee Ji-hoo was in danger, he would muster up the courage to attack the tiger owl, his fearsome natural enemy.

You are very brave.

“The brave dog squirrels are strong. In a few years, wouldn’t it be worth it to fight with you for the top dog squirrel position?”

━Kkeongkeong… !

I was lost in thought as I watched the dog squirrel continuously licking little Jihoo Lee’s cheek.

Well, since there are many people and each dog and squirrel has a different personality, there must be many relationships in the bond.

I felt like my understanding of dog squirrels had improved.

Afterwards, Ijihu was captured by Kalinoi and flew into the sky to see around her neighborhood.

It seems that Kalinoi also wanted to play with Jihoo Lee, who seemed to have the qualifications to be an honorary nymph.

“Let me fly again! Also!”

Flying in the sky on an owl was such an enjoyable experience for little Lee Ji-hoo that he wanted to fly again.

Soon Lee Ji-hoo asked me.

“Mister, how do you tame a horned owl? Huh?”

“It’s still too early for you. “Having owls don’t follow people very well.”

In Korea, there are only about 10 people, including myself, who have tamed a horned owl.

No, for all of them, including me, the word ‘we are together’ was closer than the word ‘tamed’.

In essence, being an apex predator is not something that can be tamed.

“I couldn’t tame Kalinoi either. It’s just that Kalinoi stays with me. Actually, all animals are like that. “It’s not that I tamed it, it’s that it stays with me.”

As I said, I thought I just said something cool.

I will remember it and record it in my autobiography, ‘The Legend of the Legendary Work,’ which will be released later when I reach the peak of S Ranker.

It is always important to think of quotes to write in your autobiography.

“Ah! The honorary nymph candidate Jihoo little boy has arrived… !”

“It just so happened that everything worked out… ! Let’s go catch a red dragonfly together… ! Red dragonflies, like communists, are communists of the red dragonfly world… !”

At that time, I saw nymphs approaching from afar.

The nymphs were running around the rice fields with Ji-hoo Lee, carrying a bedding net, and Squirrel, a small dog squirrel, was running behind them and pulling Ji-hoo by his collar to prevent him from falling into the mud.

The sight of the girl, nymphs, and squirrels running around was very peaceful and nice to see.

“What I must protect is the today and tomorrow of innocent people.”

━Kkeongkeong… !

Today was a day where I taught Lee Ji-hoo many things, but I also learned and felt a lot.

# # #

It is an autumn afternoon with the sun already setting.

I asked Lee Ji-hoo.

“You can’t go anywhere and say that Gumi-hee is a villain or that you are going to chase her down and take her down. “If the bad guys hear about it, they can do harm to you.”

“Even though I have to rescue my dad who is caught somewhere?”

Lee Ji-hoo seemed confident that her father would be alive.

When I asked her why, Lee Ji-hu told me something she had never told me before.

“My dad gave me something for her birthday last year. This is called the three-leaf clover of happiness…. Even if dad is far away, if he has this, he’s together….”

It was a three-leaf clover attached to yellow school paper.

“Ah! This is the “Clover Amulet” That Oinoi used to sell at the Nymph Bazaar… ! The effect of this “Clover Amulet” Is that it lets you know the status of the person who created it… !”

In the past, the nymphs made money from guests who came to the village in the beginning with pies made from golden apples, accessories made by Coris, strange liquor made by Illinois, and various magical items made by Oinoi.

“Clover amulet making” Is said to be like a meal kit where you can make your own amulet using the product prepared by Oinoi. The amulet made in this way is meant to be given as a gift to a loved one.

“The state of the person who created the amulet can be known anytime, anywhere… !”

According to Oinoi, if the person who made the amulet dies, the amulet will also be greatly stained or torn.

In other words, the fact that this amulet is intact means that Lee Ji-hoo’s father is also still alive and well somewhere.

“Why didn’t you tell other people that?”

“Well, mom thought her dad was dead and she wanted to remarry for her love of swimming pool…. No matter how much I say, they keep asking, ‘Can something like an amulet be real?’ .”

For a very terrible reason.

However, Lee Ji-hoo’s story contained a lot of information.

Lee Ji-hoo’s father, whose shadow was taken away, is still alive… ?

From Gumi-hee’s point of view, is there any need to keep him alive? ?

Seo Ye-rim also only lost her shadow and did not receive any major attacks from Gumi-hee.

Common sense tells us that the best time to defeat an opponent is when the shadow has been stolen and the ability has been lost.

I made a hypothesis here.

In order for Gumihee to use someone else’s shadow, does the owner have to be alive?

If so, there are many stories worth considering.

I remembered that Gumi-hee stole the teleportation ability from the level 0 prison escapee “Blinking Mobile Sik.”

It is difficult to chase down Gumi-hee, who is teleporting here and there, but it would be easy to track down Lee Dong-sik, who has had his abilities taken away.

If we could find and secure Lee Dong-sik, it might be easier to corner and capture Gumi-hee.

“Illinois, can you take Lee Ji-hoo home?”

“Of Calls… ! That Illinois driver is the best driver with a Class 1 regular license… ! Illinois Carr was not taken over by Telos Group… !”

“This Oinoi also wants to do a nymph drive…” ! For reference, nymph drive means that nymphs travel around in cars… !”

When the nymphs went for a nymph drive, I took out my cell phone and contacted Kang Cheol-min.

I heard that Kang Cheol-min was released through a judicial deal on the condition that he go after Lee Dong-sik and Gumi-hee Gu.

Kang Cheol-min answered the phone before the call tone even rang.

「Come to the cafe.」

The guy just said what he wanted to say and hung up.

It was probably near my house.

I went to the cafe without saying a word.

Then, I saw Kang Cheol-min ordering a chocolate brownie and eating it into small pieces using a very small fork.

He seems sensitive enough to match his size.

“Kang Cheol-min, were you spying on me?”

“No. To be precise, I was protecting you. It’s my guess, but there’s a very, very high chance that Gu Mi-hee and her gang will contact you. “Because they probably have a grudge against you.”

“… Grudge? Is it because I’m such a popular person these days? “When villains see celebrities who are popular, they can’t stand it.”

It was easy to imagine that I would be targeted by villains due to my fame, but Kang Cheol-min, who was cutting brownies with a fork, frowned.

“No. As you might have guessed, Gumi-hee and Lee Dong-sik are former subjects of the “Superman Soldier Project.” And you know when this “Super Soldier Project” Started, right?”

“Is this when I had a further awakening?”

When I became the world’s first pendulum awakener, the world that had previously been fearful of the cracks was filled with great hope.

An atmosphere has been created that humanity can also fight against the fear of cracks.

After that, I had my blood and hair collected and actively participated in various experiments and provided information.

Did the experiments that took place at that time dramatically increase the world’s understanding of the Awakened and strengthen their equipment?

Kang Cheol-min said.

“Second Impact. Those experiments were called that. This was the stage where humanity evolved beyond Homo sapiens into something else. But even more cruel experiments were taking place in places you didn’t know about. “You probably don’t want to imagine what it was like.”

“Because there was an atmosphere at the time where such things were acceptable. We were also child soldiers right away. Of course, now that I think about it, I think we were driven into some kind of madness….”

Chak-.

Kang Cheol-min handed me a newspaper.

It was difficult to read because the newspaper was written in a foreign language.

“People of Korean descent are disappearing one after another in South America. You’ve probably seen who these people are. Because they are officials from the previous government. “There are scientists who stuck syringes in your body.”

“Are you saying that Gumi-hee’s group is harassing the people involved in the previous government’s experiments?”

“Yes. Hail too. Now you know. In a way, the experiment in madness started because of you. “If I were a victim of evil, I wouldn’t forgive you either.”

In other words, what Kang Cheol-min meant was this.

“Are you saying that Gumi-hee is a villain created by me?”

If I had not had additional awakening, experiments like “Second Impact” Would not have occurred.

If that had been the case, there would have been no inhumane and inhumane experiments.

A villain like Gumi-hee would never have been born.

However, Kang Cheol-min said indifferently after taking a bite of the brownie.

“Of course, even if it weren’t for you, someone would have eventually reached additional awakening. It’s something that was bound to happen someday. But even if I say this, you still feel responsible, right?”

Chuck-.

Kang Cheol-min handed me a USB.

“There are coordinates in here. “Coordinates of one of the former government officials.”

“What should I do with this?”

“If you feel responsible, go and meet him. Because we know each other well. That’s the instructor who taught us, right? After all, neither you nor I have ever fought and won against an instructor, right?”

Instructor.

At that story, my mind fell into a helpless reminiscence of the past.

━Haildo, wake up.

There were no nymphs to stop me now, and for me, the memories of that time were like scars so strong that they were engraved on my soul.
