I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild -
Chapter 365: It's Not a Temptation
"I thought that shadow was me."
Sitting in the living room with the children, we talked about what had just happened.
Though it was nothing special, we shared laughter and joy over the conversation.
"Can't tell King and Dark King apart by their shadows!"
"Yeah, that's true."
Though Saebyeok and I looked similar, I hadn't expected even our tail-wagging to be so alike.
Did family members naturally become similar?
It felt strange but nice.
As I wagged my tail like Saebyeok in the shadow, Han Yeoreum came from the kitchen and set snacks on the table.
Today's snack was freshly baked castella.Nom nom.
We shared the castella with the children.
Han Yeoreum was looking at her smartphone while eating bread with us.
"What are you doing?"
"Just online shopping."
Online shopping?
I wondered what someone like Han Yeoreum would buy online.
I quietly moved closer and sat on her lap.
Nom nom nom.
While eating the castella Han Yeoreum fed me, I looked at her smartphone screen.
"Oh?"
Featured on the shopping site's main page was none other than Dragon Dragon Chicken.
It was prominently displayed with the text 'Trending Dragon Chicken!'
"Wow, I guess it was really popular."
"Hehe, actually it's the opposite. It became famous thanks to our little ones."
"R-really?"
"Yeah. They say it's sold out everywhere and impossible to buy."
What?
Was it because photos of us eating it with the Yeomyeong Guild members had spread?
Yeomyeong always got a lot of attention.
It felt like we'd become major influencers.
"Should we buy more Dragon Chicken?"
"Hmm... actually, the company contacted us saying they're sending us Dragon Chicken and other things as thanks."
"Wow, really?"
"Yeah. So should we buy something else?"
"Okay."
Han Yeoreum bought necessary items through the online shopping site.
The children watched the online shopping while eating castella.
"How do you get the things you buy?!"
"These? They just deliver them to your door."
"What?!"
We always went out to buy things we needed.
Levinas and Gaeul's horned rabbit eyes went wide, amazed that a few touches could get items delivered to our door.
Tap tap tap tap-
After seeing Han Yeoreum complete the purchase, Gaeul ran to the entrance.
Click-
After the sound of the door opening and closing, Gaeul ran back to the living room.
"Is it here?!"
"U-um. It doesn't come that fast, we have to wait a bit."
"...!"
Gaeul stood there with a blank expression.
What was she thinking?
Just as I was trying to figure it out, Gaeul ran back to the entrance.
Ah.
She went to check again after waiting a little.
Han Yeoreum smiled at Gaeul who came running back breathlessly.
"Gaeul, we need to wait at least a day..."
"It's here!"
"Huh? It is?"
"Yeah."
But there's no way the delivery could be here already?
Han Yeoreum seemed confused too, her eyes darting back and forth.
"Must be a different delivery?"
"Yes."
We all went to the entrance to check the packages.
There were three large boxes.
The first box was full of Dragon Dragon Chicken.
"Ah!"
"Master!"
Levinas and Gaeul expressed their joy.
What could be in the other two boxes?
We quickly opened them.
"Oh."
The second box contained various seafood.
Abalone, shrimp, octopus, and more.
Being a food company, they'd sent lots of precious seafood.
Even Saebyeok, who rarely showed emotion, had wide eyes.
"Wow, should we have a seafood party for dinner? I'll cook it deliciously for you."
"Yeah."
Saebyeok nodded quickly.
Her eyes were sparkling like jewels.
"Okay, then for the last box..."
Under Han Yeoreum's lead, we opened the final box.
Inside were dinosaur onesies.
"Dinosaur...?"
"Oh!"
Pink, blue, yellow, grey.
There were dinosaur onesies in various colors.
Levinas picked up the pink dinosaur onesie on top.
"Oh my! Goodness! My word!"
Levinas let out various exclamations.
The dinosaur onesies were indeed that cute.
"Wow, should our little ones wear these to sleep?"
"Um... okay."
Since many people wore onesies like these.
There was no need to be embarrassed.
**
We received so much Dragon Chicken in the delivery that it was too much for just us to eat.
So we decided to share it with guild members.
There was no need to be greedy since we couldn't eat it all before it expired anyway.
"It's dragon meat! Dragon meat!"
"Yeah!"
Levinas and Gaeul waved then Dragon Chicken around.
Saebyeok just handed pieces to people passing by.
"Oh, is this for me?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks."
Since there were many people walking around the guild, we quickly gave away all the Dragon Chicken.
Phew.
As I rested in a chair, Levinas poked my shoulder.
"King, let's go play games."
"Games?"
"Yeah. I want to play the one you wear on your face! Today I'll definitely break the watermelon!"
Ah.
She meant the VR game.
Would Levinas be able to break the watermelon today?
I moved to Kwon Arin's quarters with the children.
Knock knock-
Though we knocked on her door, Kwon Arin didn't answer.
"Guess she's not here."
"Oh..."
I'd heard she wasn't going to the dungeon today, but maybe she went somewhere else?
Disappointed they couldn't play the VR game, Levinas's shoulders drooped.
"Arin went to the PC bang."
"PC bang?"
"Yeah. Said she needed to get some rewards there."
"Ah, thank you."
An adventurer who'd received Dragon Chicken from us shared Kwon Arin's whereabouts.
Since we had nothing else to do, we decided to look for her.
I knew which PC bang Kwon Arin usually went to.
We'd been there together before.
I walked to the PC bang chatting with the children.
Since I knew Kwon Arin's scent, I followed it straight to her without looking around.
"Found you."
Standing behind Kwon Arin's chair, I poked her head.
She looked up startled and removed her headset.
"Why are you here?"
"Well, we wanted to play VR games but you weren't in your room."
"You could've just gone in and played."
"We don't know how to use it. Did we interrupt you?"
I felt a bit bad about possibly disturbing someone enjoying their game.
"No, I was about to leave after this game anyway. Just wait a bit until this match is over?"
"Okay."
I stood behind Kwon Arin's chair with the children.
We decided to watch until her game finished.

Lee Ji-hoon.
He was an internet game streamer.
He mainly streamed a 5v5 game called 'League of God'.
Though he only had about 100 viewers, it was enough to make a living.
His goal was to expand his influence by winning streamer tournaments.
For that, he needed to improve teamwork with his teammates.
Lee Ji-hoon came to the PC bang with his teammate Jo Hyun-bin.
The idea was they'd become closer by playing games together.
"Hyunbin, go try to lure them."
"But I'm low on health."
"That's exactly when you lure them. You're desperate for the kill. In gaming terms, we call that wagging your tail."
Lee Ji-hoon was teaching Jo Hyun-bin, who was new to the game.
Though having an expert paired with a newbie was inconvenient for tournaments, all teams were in the same situation so he didn't mind.
"Wagging your tail?"
"Yeah. Like a fox wagging its tail to lure prey."
"Okay, I'll lure them all."
"Hehe, go charm them all."
As Lee Ji-hoon explained gaming psychology to Jo Hyun-bin, he checked his stream chat.
But for some reason, the chat reactions were unusual.
[Behind!]
[Look behind LOL]
[LOLOLOL]
[Oh LOL]
[No way LOL]
[Ji-hoon look behind you!!]
"Huh?"
Since he'd started streaming in the morning, there weren't many viewers.
But for some reason, chat messages were coming in rapidly.
This kind of reaction usually only happened during extremely entertaining moments.
Lee Ji-hoon slowly looked behind him.
He saw the back of a child he'd seen before.
A pair of cat ears on white hair.
It was Gyeoul, the famous beast-kin child in this area.
But Gyeoul was firmly gripping her tail behind her back.
'Oh.'
He hadn't expected to see Gyeoul here.
Had Gyeoul been caught on stream?
Though he tried to keep people out of frame, gaps were inevitable.
But would chat react this much just from Gyeoul being on screen?
As Lee Ji-hoon pondered this-
[Thank you PiPiero for 10,000 won donation]
A video donation someone sent to Lee Ji-hoon.
He casually thanked them while checking the video.
-Hyunbin, go try to lure them.
The video showed Lee Ji-hoon from a few minutes ago.
So Gyeoul had been there since then.
Lee Ji-hoon smirked seeing Gyeoul's rapidly wagging tail.
The one-minute video continued playing.
-In gaming terms, we call that wagging your tail.
At Lee Ji-hoon's words, Gyeoul's tail twitched.
'Oh?'
That's when Lee Ji-hoon realized something was wrong.
-Wagging your tail?
-Yeah. Like a fox wagging its tail to lure prey.
At Lee Ji-hoon and Jo Hyun-bin's conversation, Gyeoul's wagging tail suddenly stopped.
Not naturally, but forcibly stopped by both hands grabbing it.
"Oh."
Gyeoul glancing back nervously.
The video ended there.
