I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild
Chapter 225: What's Wrong with the Car?

A post appeared on an internet community.

It was a story about Gyeoul.

───

[Today's Gyeoul]

Author: BeastkinLover

Gyeoul spent the day playing with lots of guild members.

───

Two photos were attached to the post.

One showed Yeomyeong Guild members crowding the Level 3 dungeon portal.

The other captured guild members watching Gyeoul play.

Gyeoul was at the center of both photos.

They clearly showed how beloved she was by those around her.

[WhatThe: Why are Yeomyeong Guild members at the Level 3 dungeon?]

[└BabyBabyOh: There was a pedophile named Grimson hiding in the dungeon Gyeoul entered. Looks like everyone mobilized.]

[└WhatThe: ??? Did that creep actually touch Gyeoul??]

[└BabyBabyOh: Nah, Kang Jinho rushed in before he could do anything lol]

[RealAdventurer: I saw Grimson getting arrested today. He was a mess, all twisted up...]

[└LuluNana: Taken to the police station?]

[└RealAdventurer: Nope, to the Yeomyeong Guild.]

[└LuluNana: Oh... he's in for it...]

[FirstPlace: Seems Yeomyeong really cherishes Gyeoul.]

[└Froggy: I saw Kang Jinho smile like a dad for the first time lolol]

Most comments mentioned the relationship between Yeomyeong Guild and Gyeoul.

A child who made even the stoic Kang Jinho smile like a father.

Some comments suggested Gyeoul might be the strongest on Earth.

'This should be enough.'

Username BeastkinLover, real name Min So-yul.

Min So-yul smiled contentedly as she looked at her post.

She used internet public opinion to deter anyone from messing with Gyeoul again.

The post implied that even Grimson, a mid-level adventurer, failed to harm Gyeoul, warning others against harboring ill intentions.

The post's effect was significant.

It created the image that the Yeomyeong Guild wouldn't let anyone who touched Gyeoul off easy.

Min So-yul was contributing to protecting beast-kin children from the shadows.

'This should do for today.'

As she stretched, a new comment caught her eye.

It was a rare hate comment about Gyeoul.

[I don't get why people think Gyeoul is so pretty. Her cat tail just looks gross to me.]

A typical hate comment.

Min So-yul's tired eyes blazed with anger.

It was a comment filled with jealousy.

'This jerk?'

Our Gyeoul is indeed amazing enough to make others jealous.

With her angelic looks and exceptional skills as an adventurer.

Crack-

Min So-yul cracked her neck.

It seemed tonight would be a long battle.

The next morning.

I sat on a park bench, reflecting on yesterday's events.

'I think I understand how to send signals now.'

Emotions and mindset were crucial.

I needed to practice this part a bit more.

As I was about to start training, Levinas came running.

"King! King!"

"Yeah?"

Levinas was holding a marker.

It was a 24-color set used for drawing.

"King! Let's draw with Levinas!"

"Hmm... Okay."

I'd have to train later.

I moved in the direction Levinas pointed, along with Saebyeok sitting next to me.

It was the area staff used as a parking lot.

"Are we drawing in the parking lot? Isn't it dangerous here?"

"Is it?! But Levinas didn't finish her drawing! What should we do?!"

"Your drawing?"

"That! Levinas was making Master's car pretty!"

Levinas pointed at a car.

An expensive-looking white sedan.

It was Master's car.

I didn't know the exact price, but I knew it was incredibly expensive.

Levinas's drawings were scattered all over Master's white sedan.

"Uh..."

I looked down at the pen Levinas was holding.

It was a water-based marker that could be easily erased.

Phew.

Thank goodness.

As I sighed in relief, Levinas started climbing onto the car's roof.

"Levinas, you shouldn't climb on top of the car."

"I shouldn't?!"

"Yeah. That's not a place to step on."

"Okay!"

Levinas got down from the car roof and started drawing on the hood.

Saebyeok wagged her tail, urging Levinas to draw her.

"Hmm..."

How on earth should I resolve this disaster?

I just stared blankly at Levinas drawing.

It was a picture of a black cat holding a carrot in its mouth.

"King! Aren't you going to draw?!"

"W-well, you see..."

I should stop Levinas first.

Just as I made up my mind, familiar footsteps approached us.

"What are you doing."

My tail bristled at Master's voice.

I carefully turned around to see Master staring at his car.

"We're... drawing..."

"Hmm..."

His expressionless face made it hard to guess what he was thinking.

I hoped he wouldn't get too angry.

Though I thought that, Master didn't seem particularly upset.

"We used water-based markers, so..."

I informed Master that the drawings could be easily erased.

At that point, Master's brow furrowed deeply.

He seemed to have gotten angry belatedly.

"So it'll all wash off if it rains?"

"Yes..."

It'll all wash away.

Please don't be angry.

I looked up at Master, clasping my hands as if in prayer.

"...Maybe I should use a preservation spell."

"Preservation?"

"It'd be a shame if the drawings you worked so hard on got erased."

Master crossed his arms and walked around the car.

Horned rabbits, cats, sharks, lizards, and even wolves.

Drawings of the beast-kin family were scattered all over the car.

"Master! Are you going to drive?!"

Levinas asked, still holding the marker.

She had a red line drawn across her cheek, probably from a mistake while drawing.

"...I was going to, but on second thought, I don't need to."

"Really?! Then Levinas will keep drawing?!"

"Go ahead."

Levinas started drawing all over the car with her markers.

Master, who had been watching, suddenly glanced at me.

"Why aren't you drawing?"

"Should I...?"

Isn't this an extremely expensive car?

As I hesitated, holding a single marker, Master suddenly lifted me up.

"It's fine."

Master placed me on top of the car roof.

It was the only part without Levinas's drawings.

"Didn't you say we shouldn't get up there?!"

Levinas questioned me.

It was understandable, given that I was contradicting what I had just said.

Master answered instead of me.

"Usually you can't, but this is my car so it's okay."

"Ah!"

I guess it's fine if the owner gives permission.

Levinas seemed to understand this too, as she didn't question further.

We spent about thirty minutes drawing on Master's car like that.

Saebyeok napped on the hood, sprawled out.

With Master's permission, it was okay to be on top of the car.

"All done!"

The white car was now colorful with 24 different marker colors.

Master nodded satisfactorily and got into the car.

"Nice."

"You like it?!"

"The car looks even cooler now."

"Hehe."

Levinas puffed out her chest proudly.

I never knew Master liked this kind of car.

"Thanks for the drawings, but I need to go now."

Master tapped the hood gently.

Saebyeok, curled up on the hood, got down with a yawn.

"Master!"

"Yes?"

"Can Levinas ride in the car too?! Want to test drive!"

"Test drive?"

"Yeah! Test drive!"

She probably wanted to ride after working so hard on it.

Master thought for a moment, then opened the back door.

"Get in."

A white mid-size sedan.

Levinas sat in the back seat where Master should have been sitting.

I was sitting right next to her in the middle seat.

"Mister, where are we going?"

"To meet another Master."

Master, sitting in the passenger seat, met my eyes through the rearview mirror.

The driver was someone who provided security for Master.

"Is it okay for us to go to a Masters' meeting?"

"It's fine."

If Master says it's okay.

Then it should be fine to go.

I turned my head left and right, looking out the window.

"King, doesn't the car feel better after we drew on it?"

"Yeah. The ride quality has improved."

Of course, it couldn't have actually improved, but it felt that way.

We enjoyed the decorated car like that for another thirty minutes.

"This is..."

We arrived in front of an unfamiliar building.

The parking lot was full of luxury cars.

'Wow.'

I'd never seen cars like these even at our guild.

They looked super expensive.

As I was admiring the surrounding cars through the window, someone knocked on our car door.

Park Taesan, Master of the Taesan Guild.

He was the large man I had met before.

"Brother!"

Park Taesan knocked on the window where Levinas was sitting.

Since Master was in the passenger seat, he lowered that window.

"Over here."

"Huh? Why are you sitting there?"

Park Taesan rushed over to the passenger side.

His large hand rested on the lowered window.

"Brother! What's with the state of your car? Did you scribble on it while drunk?"

"...Taesan, I've always told you to watch your mouth."

"Why?"

Instead of answering, Master pointed his thumb towards the back of the car.

Park Taesan's eyes met mine as he stuck his head through the window.

"We... we drew it."

"...Ah."

Park Taesan pulled his head out of the window.

And then.

Smack-!

A loud sound echoed outside the car.

Park Taesan had slapped his own mouth with his palm.
