I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild
Chapter 136: Mini Refrigerator

Helping a starving child was the rule of this world.

It might not be the case in other countries, but at least in this country, it was.

Therefore, Kwon Arin could only be taken aback.

The child in front of her was merely eight years old.

"I'm hungry."

That single sentence was enough to find willing helpers all over the world.

In a world rampant with lookism, a child's adorable appearance was a powerful weapon.

This child was the most adorable among all she had seen, possessing a heart as pure as a saint's.

Even she, with her twisted personality, had to acknowledge it.

That's why Kwon Arin couldn't understand what Gyeoul was saying at all.

"Didn't anyone give you food?"

"Um··· I occasionally got meals at free food services."

"Free, free food services···?"

"Yes. But I didn't go often because it seemed wrong to eat too much."

Gyeoul remembered the times she had attended the free food services.

Already? Such a young thing, tsk tsk tsk.

She wouldn't go to the food services unless it really seemed like she would starve to death.

"Did no one else help apart from the food service?"

"No, for the first few years, many people helped me."

Not just the Yeomyeong Guild, but also many people from the hunting grounds had helped her.

Though they eventually grew tired of the lack of progress and left.

Gyeoul didn't blame them.

It was an inevitable situation due to her lack of mana.

It was natural not to want to help someone who showed no progress.

"In the beginning? They only helped for a few years?"

"Yes. They helped me to become independent, but I learn slower than others. It seems everyone got tired since I was just treading water for years."

"Uh···"

Gyeoul was now eight years old.

That would make her about five or six years old a few years ago.

Perhaps even younger.

An almost toddler being slow to learn and then being abandoned.

That was impossible by Kwon Arin's standards.

"Really bad people."

They were expecting too much from a child who couldn't even speak properly a few years ago.

They were truly disgusting people.

"No, it was me who didn't progress despite the help. It's natural not to want to help. It's not natural to expect help."

"No, that's not···"

To think it's natural not to progress?

Helping a starving child was the rule of this country, wasn't it?

Kwon Arin really wanted to shout that out, but she held it in.

'Haah.'

She considered it natural not to receive help if there was no progress.

Kwon Arin could see why Gyeoul had said that at the beginning.

She thought there was no one in the world who would help the pitiful past version of herself.

"But now, the Yeomyeong Guild helps me a lot. People have started helping again."

The guild, realizing her slow progress was due to lack of mana, had transformed her into a being with mana.

Gyeoul was grateful to the guild that had helped her, even though it was not necessary.

"That's right."

Indeed, the Yeomyeong Guild.

Had they rescued Gyeoul from her descent into the abyss?

Kwon Arin was relieved by the current well-being of Gyeoul, but suddenly realized the broadcast was still on.

[Viewer count 500]

"Huh?"

The number of viewers had increased a hundredfold.

Why all of a sudden?

With trembling eyes, Kwon Arin checked the chat.

[😭😭😭😭]

[Really bad people...]

[I hate humans because of Gyeoul...]

Fortunately, the chat was only supportive of Gyeoul.

It was lucky that there were no hate comments.

Kwon Arin quickly ended the broadcast before more of Gyeoul's past leaked out.

Though the increase in viewers was tempting, she didn't want to maintain it by exploiting a child's misfortune.

'I need to lift the mood.'

For now, let's continue the game.

That was the only thing she could do.

Thus, Kwon Arin continued to play the game with the children.

They cooked with locusts and snakes that Gyeoul had brought, and surprisingly, the reviews weren't bad.

That evening.

After enjoying the game, I wandered around the recycling center with the children.

It was the recycling center of the apartment area where we had picked up a mattress, and we came looking for something to replace a pot that had been cut in half.

"King! Wasn't the game really fun?!"

"Yeah. It was fun. How about you, Saebyeok?"

"I enjoyed it too."

It was fortunate that both Levinas and Saebyeok had enjoyed the game.

While wagging their tails, they got distracted by a refrigerator placed at one side of the recycling center.

"Oh."

It was a small refrigerator about my height.

It was more tempting than a large refrigerator, a perfect size for the container house.

Had it been the tent days without electricity, I wouldn't have even glanced at it, but now the container house had electricity.

Since it was a container used every time we farmed, it seemed like a good idea to put some snacks in it.

'Can I take this···?'

No one had complained when I took things like pots before.

But this was the first time for a large appliance, so I hesitated.

While looking around, I noticed a security guard nearby, tidying up the area.

"Excuse me···"

I called out, but there was no response.

Perhaps because of his age, he might not hear well.

"Excuse me···"

Tap tap-

Carefully, I tapped his shoulder while standing on my toes, and the elderly security guard turned to look at me.

"Hmm?"

"Can I take that refrigerator···?"

"Of course, take as much as you want."

His tone was warm.

Grateful for the kind elderly's consideration, I ran over to where the refrigerator was.

"We can take this refrigerator."

"Wow! Really?!"

"Yes···!"

I nodded, along with wagging my tail.

Realizing it was her turn, Saebyeok effortlessly lifted the refrigerator and placed it on the cart.

Her strength was impressive as always.

"Get on."

Thump thump-

Saebyeok tapped the side of the cart.

Levinas jumped onto the cart and crouched near the refrigerator.

"Let's go!"

Levinas pointed forward like a pirate captain.

But it wasn't time to go yet.

"Just a moment, I'll check for a pot."

"We'll go in a bit then!"

I left the waiting children behind and looked around for a pot.

Using my dynamic vision, I scanned quickly, but there was no pot in sight.

Of course, I wasn't disappointed because we had managed to pick up a good refrigerator.

I placed the refrigerator we brought in the corner of the container and plugged in the cord.

There was no power line connected to the container, but we could supply electricity with mana stones.

'It works well.'

I had worried it might be broken.

Fortunately, it was working fine.

As I was enjoying the cool air flowing from the refrigerator, Levinas went inside it.

"It's cool!"

"Yeah. Should we put some food inside?"

"Wow! Can we put Levinas's stuff in too?!"

"We're all sharing."

"······!"

With eyes wide as saucers, Levinas dashed out of the container.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Levinas returned with various vegetables in her hands.

Carrots, rabbit grass, and dog grass were held in her hands.

"Levinas will put these in!"

Levinas had brought her favorite grasses.

I pondered what to put in and decided to add corn flour and cleaned minnows.

"Haah···"

After putting food in the refrigerator, we took a short break.

I was sitting in the container, idly wagging my tail, when someone opened the door and entered.

"You were here? What have you been doing?"

Yeoreum approached with a twinkle in her eyes.

The closer she got, the faster my tail wagged.

"I was organizing the refrigerator."

"The refrigerator?"

"Yes. I found it at the recycling center, and it works well."

I pointed to the refrigerator with my fingertips.

Yeoreum, who enjoys cooking, looked at the refrigerator with considerable interest.

"Wow, have you filled it with food?"

"Yes. I've filled it to some extent."

"Really? Then shall I try cooking something with what's in the refrigerator?"

Yeoreum rolled up her sleeves and approached the refrigerator.

As she opened the door of the fridge, Levinas, who was crouching inside, appeared.

Her ears were trembling.

"You can't cook Levinas···!"

Levinas looked quite terrified.

"Uh, okay. I didn't know Levinas was inside."

"You aren't going to cook horned rabbit meat···?"

"Why would I do that···!"

Yeoreum reached out and picked up Levinas.

In her embrace, Levinas let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you like horned rabbit meat, Yeoreum?"

"No, I detest horned rabbit meat. But I do like living horned rabbits."

"Is that so?!"

"Yes."

Levinas buried her face in Yeoreum's embrace.

Yeoreum stroked her back gently while carefully examining the inside of the refrigerator.

"What shall we cook?"

Could we make porridge with the minnows, corn flour, and the vegetables Levinas brought?

Thinking this, I looked up at Yeoreum, who was making a confused face.

"Is this all?"

"Yes. I only put in tasty things."

"Hmm···"

These were the tastiest items I could find.

However, Yeoreum just kept staring blankly at the refrigerator.

"It's going to be hard to cook with this···?"

"Why not just throw everything in and make porridge?"

"That's not cooking···"

"Huh?"

Isn't just throwing everything together and boiling it considered cooking?

I tilted my head in confusion, puzzled.

I could only look up at Yeoreum, who had pursed her lips.
