The disc was about as wide as an adult man’s shoulders.

It was a bit large, but not too big to throw.

So, I just threw it far, but it turned out to be a board you ride on.

The objects in a world with magic were really difficult to understand.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before…”

“Yes, you can only ride it in designated areas. It’s not something you see often.”

“Oh…”

So there were specific places where you could ride it.

As I nodded in understanding, I suddenly realized something.

I had never seen anyone riding a disc in our park.

“Can we ride this in the park?”

“Yes, we don’t mind.”

“J-Just us…?”

Did it mean that guild members could break the rules?

I didn’t like this kind of abuse of power.

I hesitated, clutching the disc in my arms.

Sensing my thoughts, Jung Yu-na quickly waved her hand.

“On land owned by the guild, only guild members can use magic. The floating disc is a type of magic.”

“Oh… for security reasons?”

“Yes, it would be a problem if outsiders used magic in the guild’s territory.”

According to Yu-na’s explanation, it wasn’t an abuse of power.

If it was a rule everyone followed, there was no need to worry.

“I see… but how do you ride this?”

I held the disc out to Yu-na.

She awkwardly scratched her cheek instead of taking it.

“It’s for children, so it’s hard for me to ride. Saebyeok, do you want to try?”

“Okay.”

Saebyeok’s tail wagged furiously.

Levinas poked her fingers between Saebyeok’s wagging tail.

It was like a child sticking their fingers into a spinning fan.

Whack!

A sharp sound echoed as Saebyeok’s tail and Levinas’ fingers met.

Levinas jumped back a few steps, holding her fingers with a tearful expression.

“Levinas, are your fingers okay?”

“Yes…”

“It’s dangerous, so don’t put your fingers just anywhere.”

“Okay… got it…”

I patted Levinas’ back and handed the disc to Saebyeok.

She placed the disc on the ground and stepped on it.

Vroom!

Mana moved, and the disc floated into the air.

Saebyeok’s body also rose with the disc.

She ascended about a meter.

“Wow…”

Levinas, who had been pouting, widened her horned rabbit eyes.

Displaying childlike curiosity, she circled around Saebyeok.

“King! The Dark King is floating!”

“Y-Yeah…”

Honestly, I found it fascinating too.

Looking up at Saebyeok with curious eyes, she began to move around near the tent.

It felt like watching a hoverboard from a sci-fi movie.

“Wow! Wow!”

Levinas hopped around, chasing Saebyeok.

I followed behind Levinas.

I was worried that Saebyeok and Levinas might get hurt.

“Hehe.”

I heard Yu-na’s laughter from behind.

I stopped running and looked back at her.

“Isn’t this dangerous?”

“No, it’s safer and easier than it looks.”

“Oh… but you still need to watch them closely, just in case?”

It would be a big problem if the children collided or fell from above.

To prepare for any unforeseen situation, I sought help from Yu-na, the wizard.

“Don’t be too scared, Gyeoul.”

“Hmm… okay…”

They were beast-kin children.

Even if they fell from a meter high, they wouldn’t get seriously hurt.

I decided not to be too scared, as Yu-na suggested.

“I’ll keep a close eye when Gyeoul rides.”

“…?”

Shouldn’t she be more concerned about the children, not me?

As I was about to say it was okay, the children came towards me.

“King! Levinas too! Give Levinas a chance too!”

“Okay.”

As fun as flying on a disk might be, Saebyeok got off the disk without greed.

Levinas eagerly took her place, ready for her turn.

The landing, the floating, and even the movement.

I had no idea how it worked.

“I’m doing it…!”

Levinas stretched her foot towards the disc.

Her body began to float gently.

“Woah… woah…”

Her legs trembled uncontrollably.

Not out of fear, but because she couldn’t find her balance.

Her legs and the disc wobbled wildly, but she didn’t fall.

Thanks to a beast-kin’s unique physical abilities.

Wasn’t she actually doing quite well?

I looked up at Levinas with my mouth agape.

Her trembling intensified.

It looked like an earthquake was happening.

“The disc is shaking!”

Levinas’ voice shook along with her body.

It took a while for her to come back down.

“Levinas, are you okay…?”

She couldn’t move as freely as Saebyeok did.

What if Levinas was disappointed?

Worried, I fidgeted with my fingers in front of her.

Contrary to my concerns, Levinas just jumped up and down.

“King! This is fun!”

“You had fun?”

“Yeah! Did you see Levinas go all shaky?!”

Levinas giggled and shook her body.

I admired Levinas’ ability to find joy and fun in any situation.

Even though she was a child, it was an attitude worth learning from.

“Can I ride it this time?”

“Okay!”

So we took turns riding the disc.

For some reason, Yu-na held onto me only when it was my turn.

It was because of my small size.

Of course, I didn’t say she didn’t need to hold on.

I liked that Yu-na held me.

We returned home only when evening came.

The disc went into Levinas’ treasure chest.

It was a box that usually only held the Animal King cards or a shark plushie.

She seemed to like the disc a lot.

“Kids, you need to wash your hands first.”

“Okay.”

I washed my hands with the children in the bathroom.

We used the ‘Clean Kids’ hand wash that dispensed foam when pressed.

For some reason, Saebyeok was always the one to dispense the foam.

When Levinas and I held out our hands, Saebyeok would squeeze the foam onto them.

“You need to scrub thoroughly like this.”

Saebyeok rubbed her hands together, showing us how.

Sometimes she would teach us things like this.

It was a task for the eldest, but Saebyeok wanted to do it, so I let her.

“Don’t forget to clean under your nails.”

“Okay.”

“Got it!”

Saebyeok surprisingly had a knack for teaching.

Would she become someone who teaches others in the future?

After washing our hands, we returned to the living room.

Levinas dried our wet hands with a towel.

I was grateful to the children for wanting to help with something.

“Are your hands all dry?”

“Yes.”

I sat next to Yeoreum on the sofa.

She was holding a smartphone.

“Are you texting?”

“No, just browsing the internet.”

“Oh.”

The internet was personal, so I didn’t ask her to show me.

As I turned my gaze to the TV, Yeoreum handed me her smartphone.

“Gyeoul, look at this. Doesn’t it look just like you?”

“This…”

What she showed me was a post on SNS.

The title of the post was “Collection of Gyeoul.”

“A collection of me?”

Since she said it looked like me, it must be something similar.

Curious, I quickly scrolled through the post.

“Huh.”

The content of the post was unexpectedly simple.

It was filled with videos of cats.

Baby cats doing cute things or silly actions.

Yeoreum’s biggest reaction was to a video of a cat following its owner around.

“Does that look like me?”

“Yes! It’s exactly like you, Gyeoul!”

“Hmm…”

I didn’t see the resemblance at all.

Maybe it felt that way because I was a cat beast-kin?

I glanced over at Saebyeok.

“What about Saebyeok?”

“Saebyeok is somewhat similar, but Gyeoul is exactly the same.”

“…”

What exactly about me are they seeing?

I looked down at myself in confusion.

Levinas, hugging a shark plushie, ran over to me.

“Wow! This looks just like you, King!”

Levinas pointed at the screen.

A white cat walked over and flopped down next to its owner.

“This looks like me?”

“Yes!”

“…Why?”

“I don’t know!”

She didn’t know.

Was it the vibe or something?

I pondered for a moment, then got off the sofa.

“Even if we’re both felines, our walks are different.”

I mimicked the cat’s walk from the video.

A small, dignified stride, typical of a kitten.

Since I was a cat beast-kin, it was easy to imitate a cat’s movements.

“…You always walk like that, Gyeoul.”

“Do I…?”

Did I always walk like this?

What did my walk even look like?

I blinked for a while and then approached Yeoreum.

I wanted to mimic the cat that flopped down next to its owner.

It felt embarrassing to do something I usually didn’t, but I wanted to clear my frustration.

“I don’t usually do this.”

I lay down in Yeoreum’s arms and looked up at her.

But for some reason, she seemed strange.

I could hear her heart pounding.

Her breathing became rough.

“Ugh…”

“Huh?”

“Oh my! What is this, Gyeoul?!”

Yeoreum hugged me tightly.

Her embrace was stifling, and I couldn’t breathe.

Someone save me.

I struggled in her arms for a long time.
