I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild
Chapter 322: If Not a Genius Dog?

After chatting with the children in the tent, we returned home.

It was to watch Levinas's favorite animation.

This episode seemed to be a slice-of-life part, as various animals appeared on the television.

Every time a new animal appeared, Gaeul named them as if she was studying vocabulary.

"Crocodile."

"Close, but wrong! That's a lizard!"

"Doggy?"

"No! That's a wolf!"

Boing-

Was she shocked that she got all the animals wrong?

Gaeul's eyes widened.

"You were pretty close, though."

Saebyeok patted Gaeul's head, saying she did well.

Encouraged by the praise, Gaeul seemed to regain her confidence and pointed at the people in the living room one by one.

"Kitty, kitty, horned wabbit."

She was pointing at Saebyeok, me, and Levinas in order.

Maybe because she said the word "horned" correctly, Levinas's ears wiggled happily.

"That's right! Levinas is a horned rabbit!"

"Huh."

Excited about getting the answer right, Gaeul's tail wagged gently.

Then she pointed at Sophia, looking even more confident than before.

"Fish! Big fish!"

"Yes, you got it. More specifically, it's a shark."

"Shawk."

"Not shawk, shark."

"Shark."

"Yes, shark."

Was guessing species correctly such a big deal for Gaeul?

Gaeul watched the animation with a proud expression.

The animation that started normally ended normally.

"The horned rabbit was cool today too!"

After the animation ended, Levinas picked up the remote.

Probably feeling it was a shame to turn off the TV after watching just one episode, she flipped through various channels.

That's how we ended up watching a historical drama.

The children's attention was drawn to the unique costumes.

"King, what kind of clothes are those?"

"Those are clothes people wore hundreds of years ago."

"Hundreds of years!"

Levinas turned to look at Sophia with her horned rabbit eyes wide open.

Sophia pouted at Levinas's sparkling gaze.

"This lady hasn't lived that long."

"Wasn't the shark over a thousand years old?!"

"...I haven't even lived two hundred years yet."

Hmph.

Sophia looked grumpy.

Why did she suddenly get angry?

As I was tilting my head in confusion, Levinas started grinning.

"Then will you live a thousand years with Levinas and everyone?!"

"That... wouldn't be bad."

Sophia's expression softened as if nothing had happened.

She couldn't help but feel good at the suggestion of living a thousand years together.

"Gaeul too thosand."

"Be careful with your pronunciation. It's not 'thosand', it's 'thousand'."

"Thousand."

As Sophia, now in a better mood, was correcting Gaeul's pronunciation,

The people on TV prostrated themselves before a king.

-Your majesty! Please be understanding!

-Your majesty

The children's eyes widened as they watched the TV.

"King, what's 'your majesty'?"

"Um... it's similar to 'king'..."

"King?!"

"Master?!"

The children stared at me.

It was because Levinas usually called me "King".

"Your majesty! Will you give us your command?!"

"Your majesty."

The children seemed to find the unique speech of historical dramas amusing and imitated the people on TV.

Gaeul's tail wagged gently as she lay prostrate on the floor.

Our kids really do imitate anything they find interesting.

I couldn't help but chuckle at the children's adorable behavior.

"King, shall we play 'your majesty' today?!"

"Sure. Who wants to be 'your majesty'?"

At my question, the children stared at me.

Their eyes seemed to say, "Why are you asking something so obvious?"

Was it because Levinas usually called me "King"?

Everyone seemed to take it for granted that I would play the role of king.

"This is just a game, so let's decide with rock-paper-scissors. Gaeul, do you know how to play rock-paper-scissors?"

"Don't know."

"Rock-paper-scissors is..."

I explained rock-paper-scissors to Gaeul.

She didn't seem to understand well, as she just stared blankly at her open palm.

"Let's try playing rock-paper-scissors anyway."

"Okay!"

Rock!

Paper!

Scissors!

The children shouted and showed their hands.

Since Gaeul was just staring at her open palm, I deliberately threw rock to let her win.

Saebyeok and Levinas also threw rock.

"Wha! Gaeul puppy won!"

"Gaeul is king now."

Despite losing the game, the children were smiling.

Seeing this, I realized they had deliberately lost too.

As I always felt, our children were too kind.

"Huh?"

Gaeul didn't seem to grasp that she had become king, and just stuck out her tongue slightly.

It looked like some explanation was needed.

"Gaeul, you can give us orders now. We're your subjects and you're king, so we have to listen to everything you say."

"King?"

"Yeah. Is there anything you want us to do for you?"

"......"

Meow.

Gaeul, who had been thinking with her tongue out, suddenly started licking the air.

It seemed like she was asking us to do that for her.

'Grooming, huh.'

This was a bit too difficult for me.

But since Gaeul had won the game and asked for it, we had to do it.

"Your majesty!"

Levinas, speaking exaggeratedly, groomed Gaeul's ear.

Saebyeok groomed the other ear.

"Um..."

The only part left for me was the tail.

It was just a game, and I did groom instinctively while sleeping.

There was no reason I couldn't do it now.

I licked the tip of Gaeul's tail very lightly.

Gaeul's tail started not just wagging, but spinning rapidly.

"Master...!"

"G-Gaeul..."

Gaeul's spinning tail brushed against my face.

It didn't hurt because it was soft, but it was spinning so fast that I couldn't groom it.

Does she like it that much?

Come to think of it, I did feel good when the children groomed me.

That's why I didn't avoid it.

'Instincts are really amazing.'

I wondered how many more instincts were hidden inside me.

Now I was starting to look forward to discovering them.

**

Gaeul was in a very good mood.

For some reason, her family was doing everything she asked.

She knew it wasn't good to be so spoiled, but they said it was okay because it was a game today.

"Snack?!"

"Yoru majesty! Here it is!"

"Milk?!"

"Here."

They gave her snacks and milk when she asked.

They patted her head when she asked for it.

Could there be a happier day in the world?

Gaeul's tail wagged rapidly.

"Huh."

Gaeul, who had become King, was fiddling with what her family called a 'smartphone'.

She wanted to keep a long record of today's events.

If you go 'click' with this, the day's events are stored in the smartphone.

How exactly do you do it?

Gaeul tilted her head and tapped the smartphone.

Gaeul didn't even know how to swipe the screen.

So she just kept tapping the first screen.

The first screen of the smartphone had the most frequently used apps.

Gaeul accidentally tapped the video platform app.

"...?"

She saw the faces of her owner and family members on the screen.

Her own face was somewhere in the middle.

There were many images of her family.

Is this where they put the videos they take?

Not knowing about the algorithm of the video platform site, Gaeul didn't understand why there were so many videos of her family.

"Huh..."

As Gaeul fiddled with the smartphone, she realized she could move the screen by pressing and swiping.

The algorithm that started with 'beast-kin' began to change to 'cute animals' for Gaeul.

Cats, parrots, hamsters.

And dogs.

Gaeul smiled when she saw a medium-sized dog.

"Friend!"

She wanted to see more of her friend.

Gaeul pressed hard on the screen where the dog appeared.

She chose a video of a dog that wasn't her family because her family was right next to her.

-Woof!

That's how the dog video started.

Gaeul slowly scanned the title of the video.

-Genius dog Hoho.

'Ge... nius...'

It was what dogs heard when they obeyed well.

The word 'genius' was a good word for Gaeul because they always patted her head a lot when they said it.

How well-behaved must the dog be to be called a genius dog?

Curious, Gaeul watched the video and was amazed.

-Hoho, can you bring the Scotch tape?

-Woof!

-Hoho, get the shampoo for daddy's hair.

-Woof!

Hoho brought even things that Gaeul didn't know.

Gaeul had to admit it.

That Hoho was a genius.

"......"

So that's Scotch tape, and that's shampoo.

Gaeul watched what Hoho brought and memorized them diligently.

Crunch crunch, while eating the snacks Levinas had brought.

She had to work hard to be called a genius.

As Gaeul was thinking this, she noticed the comments below the video.

She had to read them slowly, chewing over each word because they were too long.

-I threw out our dog after watching this.

└Why did you throw it out? lol

└The dummy just opens its mouth for treats ㅡㅡ

└That's how all dogs are lol

-Our mutt just makes its owner do everything.

└You should throw it out too lol

"...!"

They threw out the dog because it wasn't a genius.

Gaeul, who didn't know about the playful jokes of internet communities, was shocked.

Do you get thrown out if you're not a genius dog?

Our family would never do that, right?

Gaeul's eyes widened in surprise.

"Gaeul puppy, Levinas brought chocolate too!"

Levinas smiled brightly and tried to put chocolate in Gaeul's mouth.

Even though she knew they would never do that, Gaeul covered her mouth with both hands.

"Whine..."

To become a genius dog, it seemed like she shouldn't just keep eating.

Worried, Gaeul let out her characteristic dog whine.

The whine was so loud that the children nearby perked up their ears.
