I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild
Chapter 435: No Way? Is it Possible? ^ㅇ^

Pitter patter-

I sat across from Lee Gunwoo at the old table the children had brought.

There were three chairs - one wooden log and two metal ones - but six people who wanted to sit.

Though we were short on chairs, it wasn't a problem for us.

Sharing seats was an everyday thing for us.

"Shuin."

Gaeul smiled brightly as she squeezed onto the log chair beside me.

Just shifting over slightly was enough for both of us to fit on the log chair.

'The others...'

Saebyeok sat Levinas and Bom on her lap in the metal chair.

Being strong, Saebyeok could handle two on her lap.

'Everyone's seated.'

Time to start the interview.

Ahem, just as I cleared my throat, Levinas drummed the table with her small fists.

"This will be a pressure interview!"

"Pressure interview?"

"Yeah! Where you push really hard, like pababababak!"

"Wow... Levinas, where did you learn about that?"

At my question, Levinas went "ahem" and held up her smartphone.

It seemed she was learning a lot through her smartphone.

"Since too much pressure would be hard, how about a moderate pressure interview?"

"Yeah! Then can Levinas ask the first question?"

"Sure."

At my answer, Levinas raised her eyebrows high.

With a quite serious and dignified look, she opened her mouth toward Lee Gunwoo.

"Do you like King?!"

"Huh...?"

Though surprised by the unexpected question, Lee Gunwoo took it quite seriously.

"If you're asking about likes and dislikes, I have absolutely no dislike."

"...! Then Levinas passes you!"

Levinas giggled and rocked back and forth.

Though I wasn't sure what meaning was behind the question, I was happy since Levinas was happy.

"Then..."

"Gaelik."

"Gaeul wants to interview too?"

"Yeah."

Gaeul raised her eyebrows like Levinas had.

I was curious what question she wanted to ask.

"Then should we let Gaeul try?"

"Heuk...!"

Gaeul stood up from the log chair and thrust out her clenched fist.

As she slowly opened her fist...

"Ant pretty."

An ant scurried around on Gaeul's palm.

It even bit her palm with its distinctive pincers, but Gaeul remained still as if unbothered.

"That's... what we call a black ant."

"Black...?! Not ant?!"

Daeng-

Gaeul's expression showed shock.

She shook her hand vigorously.

The ant that flew off her hand scurried across the floor.

The ant was fine, but Gaeul seemed quite shocked.

"...Though I'm not sure why it's called a black ant, it is definitely an ant."

"...!"

Gaeul's ears perked up as she plopped back down on the log chair.

Then she started clapping.

"Since you're clapping, does that mean he passes?"

"Yeah. Smart smart."

"I see."

Being smart was worth passing.

He would help the beast-kin village.

After patting Gaeul's head, I turned to Saebyeok and Bom.

"Do Bom and Saebyeok want to interview too?"

"N-no, I don't want to..."

"I'm fine."

Bom hung her head low while Saebyeok declined saying she was fine.

Bom seemed quite intimidated.

"Bom, are you okay?"

"Yeah. Don't worry about me."

"O-okay..."

Though I was worried, I didn't want to ignore Bom's wishes.

Forcing myself to nod, I looked at Lee Gunwoo.

"What do you hope to gain from the beast-kin village?"

"Magic, of course."

"I see."

Beast-kin magic is quite amazing.

It was a perfectly understandable reason.

"Studying magic in the beast-kin village is fine, but I'd like you to teach magic to the beast-kin in return."

"Yes. I had no intention of taking without giving back."

"Oh. Then you pass."

At my declaration, the children clapped.

Only Bom didn't clap, just fidgeting with her feet.

"Thank you. Should I prepare until it's time to go?"

"Yeeees."

First Jeffrey and now Lee Gunwoo.

We'd gained two valuable talents in one day.

It had been a good day.

**

After playing in the park, we got on the elevator.

Bom wagged her tail while watching outside through the rising elevator.

"Woaah."

"Bom really likes the elevator."

"Yeah. I love rising up into the sky like this."

Ding-

When the elevator doors opened and all the children got off, Bom stayed behind and pressed the first floor button.

What's this?

Was she not coming home?

As I watched Bom, she looked out of the elevator and said:

"I'll just ride once more."

"Want to ride together?"

"Yeah!"

We went back down to the first floor and rode up to home with Bom.

Even on the second ride, Bom's excitement hadn't diminished.

"Want to ride again?"

"Hmm..."

Bom looked back and forth between the first floor button and us.

After some thought, Bom chose us over the elevator.

"I rode twice already, so let's go home and play now."

"Okay."

Though she seemed to want more rides.

Had she endured that desire to choose us?

The children seemed happy that Bom had chosen them, wagging their tails gently.

"Levinas is second!"

"Second?"

"Yeah! Today Bom gets to go in first!"

Levinas opened the front door and pushed Bom's back.

Though pushed, there was no resistance in Bom's steps.

"Today I'm first!"

After taking off her shoes, Bom ran down the hallway.

The rest of us ran after her.

As I looked around while running down the hall, I noticed Saebyeok wasn't beside us.

Stopping my run and looking back, I saw Saebyeok organizing the shoes we'd carelessly kicked off.

"Oh..."

Saebyeok was so grown-up.

I wanted to go back and help, but Saebyeok had already finished organizing the shoes.

I decided to just say thank you.

"Saebyeok, thanks always."

"Yeah. I'm always thankful too."

"Hehe..."

So Saebyeok was thankful to me too.

Though I didn't know why, I didn't ask.

I knew Saebyeok's feelings were sincere.

**

Back home, Levinas flopped down on the sofa.

Today's plan was to casually explore the mysterious human world.

She took out her smartphone from her pocket and clumsily typed away.

Today she wanted to check how humans thought about beast-kin.

[Beast-kin best]

[Pretty horned rabbit beast-kin]

[Strong cat beast-kin]

Levinas searched for beast-kin by combining related words.

By chance, she found herself in a certain cafe.

-Beast-kin Research Cafe

Research?

Curious, Levinas browsed through the cafe.

She discovered people arguing in the comments.

[Pep: I heard the beast-kin village is in Baekdu Mountain?]

[└County: These days Jeju Island is the true location]

Were they arguing about where the beast-kin village was?

The beast-kin village was in the Taebaek Mountains.

But since this was still secret, she had no intention of telling them.

"Hee hee."

Levinas giggled at being the only one who knew the truth.

It felt good knowing something others didn't.

Should she look around more?

Browsing the cafe, Levinas found quite a heated argument in the comments.

[Matilda: Come on, does it make sense that beast-kin can talk to animals?]

[└Beast-kin Doctor: I think it works if they're the same species?]

[└Matilda: lol Then humans should be able to talk to monkeys?]

[└Beast-kin Doctor: That's different.]

[└Matilda: How is it different?]

The two were arguing about whether beast-kin could talk to animals.

This wasn't a secret, so it should be okay to tell them, right?

After some thought, Levinas joined the cafe.

Since she already had a portal site ID, she quickly joined just picking a nickname.

[HeroHornedRabbit: Both wrong/ Beast-kin can talk animals even different species if close.]

[└Matilda: Learn Korean first before posting.]

[└Beast-kin Doctor: How can they talk if they're different species even for beast-kin.]

The response to the comment she'd laboriously typed with one finger was quite negative.

Having tried to kindly explain, Levinas was taken aback by the malicious comments.

She could understand Seol and Kkamang somewhat even though they were completely different species.

However, Levinas didn't get angry.

Thanks to learning the power of kindness through Gyeoul.

[HeroHornedRabbit: No? It's possible? ^ㅇ^]

Levinas kindly informed them that she could communicate with other species.

She even added a smiling emoticon she'd learned from the internet.

But Levinas didn't know.

That sometimes a smiling face could be seen as provocative.

[Matilda: Just stay out of this. Arguments need to be between people on the same level.]

[Beast-kin Doctor: This person is just making up wild stories...]

Though she'd told the truth and been kind, the responses were negative.

Frustrated, Levinas got up from the sofa and started hopping in place.

"This! This..."

Thump thump-

The angry Levinas stomped on the innocent floor.

She shook her arms and head up and down wildly.

Why was Levinas suddenly acting like this?

Sitting on the sofa, Gyeoul watched Levinas with mouth agape.
