[Episode 49]
How could something like this become a trend in the capital?
‘…did a fad come about that only I didn’t know about?’
Even so, it’s kind of hard to call a person a pet…
I leaned over with a bewildered face and reached out to Lucillion, who collapsed on the floor like a pitiful heroine and didn’t want to get up.
Then Lucillion carefully took my hand and rubbed my cheek against the back of his hand.
‘No, grab it and get up.’
Not even a real dog.
When I looked at him with a puzzled look, Lucillion smiled broadly and stood up.
“Do you like it?”
“Uh… yes…”
I couldn’t say no to my face, so I nodded awkwardly, but I was still embarrassed.
“I’m glad.”
Erno Etam stroked my hair with a proud expression.
“Daughter.”
“yes?”
“Am I your father?”
“Yes…”
“Doesn’t another dad want to have it?”
“yes? nope.”
I don’t know what he meant, but when I nodded, he smiled and leaned over to me and kissed my forehead.
“Okay then, I’ll take care of the rest.”
Then, it remains as it is with the back bent.
‘Ah…’
It looked like he was waiting for something.
‘I can’t believe it…’
I put my lips on his cheek and then lifted it, and he straightened his back as if he had never done that.
“It’s dirty because it was abandoned outside, so I’ll wash it first and then bring it back.”
Erno Etam grabbed Lucillion by the back of the back, lifted it up, and gave it to the attendant.
No, really, don’t treat
him
as a pet
.
Lucillion never let go of my hand. Seeing his sullen expression, I sneaked closer to Lucillion.
“See you later…”
After whispering a little, Lucillion let go of his hand with a suspicious gaze.
‘Come to think of it, he said he would wait and couldn’t contact me.’
It’s just that I’m full of disbelief.
When Lucillion left, Erno Etham sighed and sat down slowly on the sofa.
Strangely, it was a very tired face.
“Dad… are you sick?”
“…No, it’s okay.”
Covering her head with one hand didn’t look normal.
I hurriedly climbed onto the sofa, got down on my knees, reached out and put my hand on his forehead.
“Hot…!”
It was so hot that there was nothing strange about it being a ball of fire.
“Dad…”
When I looked at him in bewilderment, he grinned as always.
“It’s okay, go back to your room and rest.”
“No lending… I’ll call the doctor Seonsangim…”
I shook my head and said, and he groaned lowly.
No matter how you look at it, it was a symptom of berserk.
‘The fragment of balance on the earring is so big, why the hell…’
I couldn’t figure out the reason.
“Dad, do you have any medicine…? Do you want me to call you…?”
“Okay, this won’t be a berserker. If I just rest a little…”
I grabbed his hand with both hands and put it on my forehead, closing my eyes tightly.
“If my father is not sick, I will write a joke…”
“Your daughter is fine…”
“Dad, please don’t be sick…”
We finally have a family.
‘I asked to be by your side for the first time.’
I didn’t want to lose my barely formed family.
‘He said I could stay by his side.’
So please, I hope my family is healthy and not sick at all.
‘I want to live with you for a long time.’
That was the moment.
A pure white light burst out and wrapped around Erno Etam’s body in an instant.
“…what is this?”
Erno Etam was looking at me with surprised eyes.
Strangely, my eyelids suddenly became heavy along with my body.
When I stretched out my hand to him with a big smile, he took my hand tightly as if it were natural.
And that was the last memory I could recall.
* * *
“When does he wake up? It’s already been a year. Hey, it’s no fun, so stop getting up now. I won’t bother you anymore.”
“Your brother and sister are still in a coma.”
“Did you see the hand move the other day? Your eyelids trembled after that.”
I heard someone’s sigh.
His closed eyelids did not budge, as if he did not want to open them again.
I didn’t rebel because I didn’t want to open my eyes.
“What kind of sister… What kind of weakling sister is this? I’m going to pull out all the pillars of the house.”
“I was born first, so my older sister is my older sister. Come to think of it, my grandmother said if I don’t open my eyes until next year, I’ll just take the retainer off.”
“Grandma is too nice.”
“My grandmother originally hated my sister. There is no such thing as cuteness.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if you acted aegyo like that? Be stiff. Hey, your mother almost got down on her knees and begged for an extra year. If not, it would have been until this year.”
lie.
I didn’t want to hear more. Why am I having these strange dreams?
‘I don’t want to have a dream like this.’
want to go back
‘…sir.’
“Hey look at this. It moved again.”
Dad Dad…
‘Daughter!’
“Even your eyelids tremble.”
“Really… I’ll call a doctor!”
“Hey sister! Wake up and open your eyes!”
Bring me back to my original world. Don’t let me have these terrible dreams again.
“Hey tea smile!”
I hate it…
‘Eirin…!’
I desperately clung to the voice I heard from afar.
At that moment, my eyes flashed open.
Heo-eok,
hee-eok- He pursed his lips as if his breath had been freed, but no voice came out.
‘what?’
As he blinked, his blurry vision became clearer.
‘What happened?’
It felt like I was having some kind of unpleasant dream.
What was your dream?
‘…But something is strange about me.’
I couldn’t figure out why my body was so hot. The breath he exhaled was like smoke from a volcano.
“Eirin?”
“Oh, my eyes are open.”
“Eirin.”
I blinked slowly once more and saw a large face in front of me.
‘dad…?’
I opened my mouth, but no voice came out. It was only then that I realized how low my vision was.
“Is your daughter okay?”
I felt like a dwarf in the land of giants. The feeling of lying face down on the big bed was a little embarrassing.
nod
Moving his head up and down, he let out a small sigh.
“It’s fortunate. I was surprised by the sudden change.”
I nodded once more.
I glanced around and saw that Erno Etam was not alone.
‘Come to think of it, I heard other voices earlier.’
Earlier, I didn’t know because Erno Etam was so full of sight, but there were also Callan and Silian nearby.
I rolled my eyes wide with a nervous look on my face.
“Airin, do you understand me?”
Callan, wearing a white coat, suddenly thrust her face in.
I opened my eyes wide, nodded, jumped up from my seat, then staggered and collapsed with no strength in my legs.
“…”
Not on the blanket, but in the palm of your hand.
It was Erno Etam’s hand. When he looked up in surprise, he was also surprised, his eyes wide open and he was looking at the palm he held out.
“…you have to be careful.”
He placed me on his palm and carefully lifted me up.
“Eirin, I put antipyretics first… but I don’t have knowledge about reptiles… no, beastmen…”
Callan Etham said as if he was puzzled.
“Have you ever been like this before?”
Nod.
He nodded vigorously.
“when?”
Well, how do I explain this.
Kalan Etam’s eyes narrowed as she tilted her head over Erno Etam’s palm.
“Oh, if you don’t know…”
Ah! I can do it like this.
I pointed at Erno etham with my front paw at a method that suddenly came to my mind.
“…me?”
And then it was the moment when I jumped from the palm of my hand onto the bed to pretend to run away.
Udang-tang-!
I, who should have landed on the bed safely, was somehow still in the air.
This time it was in the palm of Callan Etam’s hand.
‘what…?’
When I rolled my eyes in embarrassment, Erno Etam and Silian Etam were also reaching out to me awkwardly.
The most amazing thing was that Calan Etam, who had been far away, ran all the way here in an instant.
The chair Silian Etam was holding was rolling on the floor.
‘…ah.’
I laughed out loud without even realizing it.
I stood on my hind legs to say it was okay, and I was about to pound my chest with my front paws when Kalan Etam grabbed me with both hands.
‘No, it won’t fall.’
Callan Etam’s expression was serious.
“Eirin’s suicide isn’t good socially either… If you have any difficulties, tell us first.”
‘No, that’s not it…’
“And if you die, the world will regret it for you, huh? You think so, but it’s not. Everyone will live better than you think.”
‘That’s not it.’
As I shook my head, Kalan Etam narrowed her eyes and looked at me intently.
“I know it’s hard because it suddenly changed like this, but still…”
‘That’s not it!’
I shook my head vigorously once more, and only then did Kalan Etham shut up.
“no?”
nod
“really?”
Nod.
‘Sounds obvious.’
I let out a snort.
Now that I have a family, I have nothing to regret, so why am I dying? live a long long life
Only then did Callan Etam breathe a sigh of relief.
“I was worried because you jumped all of a sudden.”
I pointed to the bed with my front paw.
‘It was safe.’
As I sighed and shook my head, Kalan Etham looked at me blankly.
“Then what… I’m glad.”
He stroked his cheek a couple of times and cleared his throat twice when a large hand reached out from somewhere.
It was the palm of Erno Etam.
“Come here, daughter.”
“I will hold you, Father!”
“no.”
“Oh why!”
Callan Etam raised his voice with a dissatisfied face at Erno Etam’s firm words, and he replied with a serious expression.
“Your hands are too small.”
said Erno Etam firmly.
