I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild
Chapter 254: Put on a Leash

After returning home, Levinas wandered the park alone.

Though she didn't like being alone, everyone had their own things to do.

Levinas knew she had to respect this time.

So she decided to spend some time by herself.

"Kkamang, are you there?!"

Levinas circled around Gyeoul's tent.

Kkamang appeared, responding to her voice.

It was the kind spider friend who carefully patched up the old tent with its web.

Of course, she was still scared to get too close.

Levinas put on a scary face towards Kkamang, who was approaching her.

"Eek!"

She stomped on nearby bushes to threaten Kkamang.

It meant "don't come closer".

She felt sorry for her friend, but she couldn't help it because she was scared.

However, Kkamang didn't take it as a threat.

It wasn't particularly intimidating.

"Eek?"

"Sorry! When Levinas becomes the legendary hero horned rabbit, I'll pet you!"

"Eek!"

Kkamang raised its front legs.

Levinas also raised both hands high.

Though they couldn't communicate, they were able to increase their affinity for each other.

"Guard the house well, Kkamang!"

"Eek eek!"

"Eek eek!"

Levinas, mimicking Kkamang's cry, ran towards the bus stop outside the park.

She wasn't planning to take a bus anywhere.

She just liked the memory of riding the bus side by side with Gyeoul and Saebyeok.

-Vroom.

"Vroom."

Levinas sat at the stop, watching the buses come and go.

After a while, she heard people arguing nearby.

"Miss! Put a leash and muzzle on your dog!"

"My baby is gentle, it's fine!"

A young woman and a middle-aged man were arguing loudly in the middle of the street.

Levinas's ears perked up naturally.

It was a woman who often got scolded for not leashing her dog.

"Don't you see it growling?! How is that gentle?!"

"It's growling because you keep yelling at it!"

Levinas gleaned a few pieces of information from their conversation.

Fierce dogs need to wear leashes and muzzles, that kind of information.

Levinas is very, very fierce too, but horned rabbits don't need leashes or muzzles.

Levinas giggled softly.

"Geez, I can't live with this damn dog around!"

Damn dog.

That's a very, very bad word.

Levinas decided not to listen to their conversation any further.

Pat pat-

Levinas ran towards the carrot field.

As she ran, she was creating new information.

Certainly, all the scary dogs were wearing leashes and muzzles.

Would they look fiercer with leashes and muzzles?

Levinas's heart started to move a little.

It seemed like it would be fun to play with, and it might be a good gift for the woman who gets scolded for not using a leash.

Because it's not good to just keep fighting.

"Leash!"

Pa-ba-ba-bak-!

Levinas dug into the ground with the characteristic hand movements of a horned rabbit.

Under the ground was a large box.

It was full of coins and bills.

Levinas had been hiding money here whenever she collected some.

The amount that had accumulated was quite substantial.

How much do leashes and muzzles cost?

Should she take out a lot just in case?

Levinas took out a bundle of bills from the box.

It's about time for the family to return.

Levinas ran towards home.

---

---

I took a quick trip to the dungeon.

As I was organizing the bows and arrows I'd used, family members started returning one by one.

"Shorty, come here."

Yeoreum beckoned to someone from the kitchen.

Shorty? Who was she calling?

I looked around.

Saebyeok, Levinas, Sophia.

Everyone was looking at me.

"M-Me?"

"Yeah. Gyeoul's the smallest in the house."

"But I'm not that small..."

I stood next to Levinas, the next smallest in the house.

I was visibly shorter.

Considering my characteristic of not growing much taller, Levinas's height was an insurmountable wall.

"Ugh..."

I wish I was just a little taller.

I trudged towards Yeoreum.

By now, it felt natural to fall into her arms.

"What is it?"

"I just wanted to hug Gyeoul."

"Ah."

I like hugs too.

While I was at it, I rubbed my face against her cheek.

It was a habit from regularly marking her with pheromones.

"Hehe, this is healing."

Yeoreum sat on the sofa, still holding me.

Levinas stuck close to us.

"King! Levinas wants to buy something!"

"What is it?"

"It's something very, very fierce and cool!"

Ahem!

Levinas puffed out her chest.

She didn't tell us what she wanted to buy.

Was she trying to keep it a secret?

For now, I decided to go along with what Levinas wanted.

"It's not dangerous, right?"

"No! It's not dangerous, just cool!"

"Then you can buy it."

"Yes! Will you come with Levinas to buy it?!"

Her eyes were pleading for me to come along.

Since I didn't have anything else to do later, I agreed to go together.

"Where do we need to go?"

"The animal store!"

"Animal store...?"

What on earth was she trying to buy?

I suddenly became curious.

We decided to go to the pet supply store with Levinas in the afternoon.

---

---

We headed to the pet supply store with the children.

Although we could have arrived quickly by going straight, we deliberately wandered around various alleys.

There was no particular reason, it was just an adventure game.

"Hello, Mr. Carp!"

"Hey, long time no see."

"Hello, Mr. Dragon!"

"Oh."

We met various people as we wandered through the alleys.

They were kind uncles we had met in the past, who had tattoos.

"King, should Levinas get a horned rabbit tattoo?"

"Hmm... I'd prefer if you didn't."

"Okay! Then I won't!"

We met various people as we wandered through the alleys.

We also met some familiar police officers and several guild members.

'I've gotten to know all the faces in the neighborhood.'

At this point, couldn't I be considered a village resident too?

Thinking that, we arrived at a large mart.

We each bought a waffle and entered the pet supply store.

"Wow..."

The first place Levinas ran to was the toy corner.

Did she want to buy toys?

As I approached Levinas, she quickly shook her head.

I could see her long ears swaying back and forth.

"Are you going to buy toys?"

Saebyeok asked Levinas.

I was about to ask the same question.

"No! Not buying toys today!"

Levinas's ears perked up as she looked around.

It was a leash and a metal muzzle.

Small dog and large dog sizes.

Levinas, who was thinking between the two, chose the small dog size.

The muzzle part was quite flat for a dog item.

"Levinas is going to buy this!"

"But that's for dogs?"

"Yeah!"

She's buying it even though she knows.

What's this about?

As I was wondering, Levinas approached the checkout counter.

A leash and a muzzle.

One of each.

"Oh my, do you have a dog?"

An employee we were somewhat familiar with asked us.

I shook my head at her.

"No, we have a cat and a spider."

"A, a spider...?"

"Yeah."

Spiders are scary, after all.

As I chuckled, Levinas finished the purchase.

We received dog jerky as a service item.

We returned to the guild park with our purchased items.

To be precise, it was near the bus stop in front of the park.

"What's Levinas doing here?"

"Waiting for a doggy! A doggy comes alone at this time!"

"A doggy?"

"Yeah! And this is for King!"

Levinas started putting the leash around my neck.

I was a bit surprised, but I didn't resist.

"Levinas?"

Why put a leash on me?

Was she trying to play some game?

I looked at Levinas with confused eyes.

Levinas's expression was surprisingly serious.

"This might make you look fiercer?!"

"Fierce... you mean wild energy?"

Wild energy has nothing to do with leashes though.

I grabbed the leash that was tightening around my neck.

"Yeah! All the fierce dogs wear leashes!"

"Well... that's true, but..."

It probably has nothing to do with wild energy.

Just as I was about to wave my hand to say she was wrong, a small dog came running towards us from the end of the walkway.

"Woof woof!"

The dog barked at us.

It even bared its teeth and growled.

It might have been one we'd seen before.

"Hiss hiss!"

Startled, Levinas stomped on the ground.

She seemed to be trying to scare the dog.

But the dog didn't back down.

Instead, it only barked more fiercely.

"Woof woof!"

"Ah...!"

As Levinas stepped back, Saebyeok blocked our front.

Even so, the dog didn't retreat.

"Woof!"

The dog barked loudly and charged at us.

Levinas quickly stepped back.

She was still holding my leash.

"King! Dark King! Let's run!"

"Okay."

I ran towards the park with Levinas and Saebyeok.

The dog followed behind us, barking.

Levinas's ears shot up as she looked back.

"!"

Pitter-patter-!

Levinas climbed up a tree with squirrel-like speed.

Naturally, my leash was pulled upwards.

"Uh...!"

This was going to choke me, wasn't it?

Levinas, who was climbing the tree, seemed to realize this too and quickly let go of the leash before coming back down.

Thud-

The leash Levinas had dropped got caught on an upper branch, but fortunately, it didn't choke me.

"Phew, phew..."

That was scary.

I need to rest a bit.

I sat down right there.

The dog that had followed us all the way barked at us, but Saebyeok blocked it.

"King, are you okay...?"

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"Sorry! Levinas almost caused big trouble!"

"It's okay, the leash can extend, so it would have been fine even if you climbed higher."

I rested without taking off the leash.

I tried to lie down on the ground, but the moderately fixed leash prevented me from lying flat.

"Kids? Did something happen?"

Our voices must have been too loud, as someone came walking through the bushes.

It was Jung Yu-na.

Still feeling a bit startled, I greeted her in a slumped state.

The leash caught on the tree barely supported my body.

"G-Gyeoul...?"

Jung Yu-na's gaze turned to my neck.

She also looked up at the leash caught on the tree.

"Oh no...!"

Jung Yu-na ran towards us with a pale face.

My tail wagged, happy to see her.
