I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild
Chapter 126: Pick It Up and Eat!

How should I untie this tail?

Despite my efforts to manipulate the tied tail this way and that, it simply wouldn't come loose.

It was only wrapped around once, but it clung as if glued on.

Unable to untie it by myself, I decided to seek help from the wise Sophia.

"Sophia, please help me," I requested.

"Why, is your tail stuck?" she asked.

"Yes. It's not even tightly tied, but I can't untangle it."

"Hmm... that's..."

Sophia's voice trailed off as her gaze shifted towards Saebyeok.

Saebyeok just sat expressionlessly at the desk.

"Do you know something?"

"Yes, the tail will naturally untangle itself over time," she answered calmly.

Time will solve it.

I remembered a similar incident before.

Since Sophia, who has never lied to me, suggested it, I decided to just trust her.

"We're stuck again," I remarked.

"Yeah," Saebyeok acknowledged and shook her tail.

My tied tail shook along with it.

Following that pendulum-like motion, Levinas shook her head back and forth.

"Kings, tie up Levinas' tail too," she suggested.

"Hmm... Isn't Levinas' tail too short to tie?"

"Not at all! Actually, Levinas' tail is long!"

"Long?"

I was surprised.

"Yes!"

Levinas grabbed her fluffy tail, pulling it.

It stretched out long, as if it were made of slime.

"What's this...!"

I exclaimed in shock.

How could a horned rabbit tail stretch like that?

The sight seemed to startle even Saebyeok, her ears and tail fur bristling, though her expression remained as expressionless as ever.

"Levinas, how can your tail stretch like that?" I asked, bewildered.

"Horned rabbits are originally like this?"

"Wow, originally...?"

Seeking the truth, I turned back to Sophia, who nodded affirmingly.

"Horned rabbits have a hidden tail inside."

"I see..."

I had thought it was just a round fluffy tail. Was it just the tip of the tail all along?

I was surprised, though not as much as Saebyeok.

"King, can you tie it with this much?"

"Yes. Somehow it should work..." I began, but then hesitated.

Is there really a need to tie it?

As I trailed off, Saebyeok began to fiddle with our tails.

It was probably about ten seconds.

After a brief time of fiddling, she raised her hand triumphantly.

"Done," she declared.

"Did you tie it? Did you tie Levinas' tail!"

"Yes."

Three tails got tied together.

We had to look in different directions, like a three-headed Asura.

"Sophia, we're in trouble," I stated worriedly.

"···It's okay. Time will solve it," she reassured me.

"Yes..."

I decided to just focus on what I was doing.

Just as I picked up a pen and looked down at my notebook, Yeoreum appeared at the front door.

"Sister came...?"

Yeoreum's eyes widened as she looked down at our tails.

She covered her mouth with her hand, but through the dimples on her cheeks, I could tell she was laughing.

"Yeoreum, Levinas tied the tails!"

"Really? That's amazing?"

"Yes!"

Levinas giggled playfully and picked up the remote control on the desk.

She saw that it was two in the afternoon and quickly turned on the TV.

"Ah, it's time for Animal King."

Saebyeok's eyes lit up.

She liked Animal King as much as Levinas did.

Her tail wagged even faster than before.

"Oh my, Gyeoul also likes Animal King? I thought you had no interest in cartoons."

"Me, me?"

I responded, confused.

"Yes. Since your tail was wagging."

It's not me shaking it, it's Saebyeok shaking it.

It's just shaking because it's tied together.

I felt wronged, my eyebrows furrowing.

"It's not me shaking it."

"Hehe, just kidding. It's Saebyeok holding and shaking it."

"Saebyeok?"

I questioned, puzzled.

"Yes. Saebyeok is holding it tight with her tail."

"What?"

It wasn't tied but Saebyeok holding it?

As I voiced my doubts, the tied tail began to loosen.

"Ah."

At that moment, I realized.

Saebyeok was completely engrossed in the "Animal King" cartoon.

She had forgotten she was holding our tails because she was so focused on the cartoon.

Now I understood what Sophia meant when she said it would naturally untie over time.

Saebyeok was just playing around.

I considered pulling my tail away while the kids were absorbed in the cartoon, but decided to leave it be.

Honestly, I didn't really mind.

That evening.

Levinas was wandering around the park just as the sun was setting, holding a long tree branch.

"The great hero Horned Rabbit."

Levinas sang the theme song of the "Animal King" animation as she walked, repeating the lyrics about the Horned Rabbit.

"King isn't coming."

She had been told that if she waited, she would soon come, but why hadn't she shown up?

Levinas perked up her ears, trying to find Gyeoul.

"Kyaa!"

"Kwahahaha!"

A woman's scream nearby, and a man laughing like a villain.

"Huh."

It was the kind of laugh a bad person makes when tormenting someone innocent.

Levinas shuddered, glancing down at the tree branch in her hand.

If she were the hero Horned Rabbit, she would certainly have gone to fight.

She had a weapon, so there was no need to be afraid.

"This guy!"

Dashing towards the direction of the sound, Levinas was prepared to face a terrible scene.

Faces and bodies.

Young men and women were throwing cakes at each other, playing.

Levinas couldn't understand why they would waste precious cakes like this.

"They're laughing?!"

If they were laughing, they weren't tormenting each other.

Was this like the people she had seen before, simply playing by throwing cakes, just as they had thrown eggs and flour?

Standing there dumbfounded, Levinas finally relaxed her raised hand.

Luckily, no one was being tormented.

It was time to continue searching for King.

As Levinas was about to move on, she sniffed the air.

"Ah!"

Sweet cake pieces were scattered all around the bushes.

Some of them were quite large.

"It's thrown food!"

Levinas recalled the past when people had played by throwing eggs and flour.

Thrown food was taken home and cooked.

Since the cake was thrown, it would be alright to pick it up and eat it.

Dashing towards the cake fallen in the bushes, Levinas quickly crouched down to eat it.

"Yum yum."

Sweet cream! Fluffy bread!

The grass from the bushes, a favorite of horned rabbits, mixed in, making it taste several times better.

"Wow!"

To run into people playing by throwing cakes!

Are they the richest people in the world?!

Levinas crawled through the bushes, picking up and eating the fallen cakes one by one.

The cake was so delicious that she didn't even notice the people enjoying their birthday party watching her.

"Um, hey kid...?"

Tap tap—

A man tapped on the shoulder of Levinas, who was picking up and eating cake.

"Huh?!"

Levinas lifted her head, her lips smeared with white cream, bits of torn grass sticking to them.

The man's pupils trembled at the sight.

Kwahahaha!

It was Kim Hyunwoo, the one laughing like a villain.

"Why are you eating stuff off the ground... Here, I'll give you something fresh... Eat this..."

It was about half a cake.

However, Levinas firmly shook her head.

"Free stuff isn't allowed!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes! But if it's thrown, I can eat it! Throw it on the ground!"

"......"

What on earth is this child saying?

Kim Hyunwoo felt dizzy.

"Why do you insist on having it thrown?"

"Because it's fun!"

"Fun...?"

"Yes! Levinas trades fun for... cake? In exchange I eat the cake!"

"Huh..."

Were there really people who enjoyed throwing food at a child?

Kim Hyunwoo stood speechless, his mouth agape.

"But, Levinas is curious."

"What...?"

"Why do you throw the cake?! Are you incredibly rich?!"

"No, it's just what people normally do on birthdays..."

"People throw cakes on their birthdays?!"

Levinas' eyes widened in disbelief.

She couldn't fathom why anyone would throw such expensive and precious cakes.

"What do you kids do on your birthdays...?"

Prompted by Kim Hyunwoo's question, Levinas reflected on her past.

She vividly remembered being scolded on her last birthday for not meeting her quota.

Having never celebrated a birthday party, Levinas was unaware of the significance of birthdays.

"Levinas didn't play on her birthday. She worked?!"

"Worked?"

"Yes! I was digging potatoes and got scolded because I didn't dig enough!"

"That's terrible."

What a son of a b*tch.

Kim Hyunwoo cursed inwardly.

As a current adventurer, he felt a strong urge to beat up the person who had made a child work.

"On birthdays..."

What's the point of celebrating birthdays?

Just as Levinas was about to ask this question, her ears perked up.

She heard the footsteps of her favorite person in the world.

"King!"

"Sorry, did you wait long?"

"Not much, just a little!"

"Okay. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Gyeoul approached, her tail swaying gently.

Unable to endure even that short wait, Levinas ran towards Gyeoul.

"King! What do you do on your birthday?!"

"Birthday?"

"Yes! The villain said people play by throwing cakes on their birthdays!"

People who seek fun might do that.

But not Gyeoul.

Regardless of fun, 'she' didn't even know when her own birthday was.

"I don't have a birthday."

"You don't?!"

"Yes. I don't know when it is, so I don't really do anything special."

"Wow! Levinas is the same! Levinas knows her birthday but doesn't do anything like King!"

Levinas did a little jump of joy.

Then, she turned to Kim Hyunwoo, puffing out her chest.

"See?! It's right not to do anything on birthdays!"

"......"

Oh Lord.

Kim Hyunwoo clutched the emblem on his chest.

A devout religious man, for the first time, felt resentment towards God.
