Yeoreum often logged onto the internet when she wanted to see the children.

Thanks to the children becoming so famous, their videos and photos popped up just by accessing social media.

They were now treated almost like half-celebrities.

“Hehe.”

What were the children up to today?

Yeoreum sat on a park bench, browsing social media.

She expected to see cute daily scenes of the children.

Yeoreum, who had prepared to smile, could only freeze her face at the sight of the children on the screen.

“Huh…?”

Gaeul was crying with a nosebleed.

Her knees were scraped, as if she had fallen.

Gyeoul, with similar injuries, was supporting Gaeul.

She looked quite depressed.

“What’s this…”

What happened to the children?

She wanted to go find them right away.

Nevertheless, Yeoreum held back and decided to gather information first.

Coincidentally, there were people in the comments asking for reasons, just like Yeoreum.

[Why is the baby crying? ㅠㅠ]

[└They got chased out while playing at an apartment playground. Some lady yelled at them not to play there, and the kids got scared and fell while running away…]

[└Wow… Were they chased out because they weren’t apartment residents?]

[└Yes…]

I see.

It was understandable, but did she really need to yell?

Yeoreum let out a deep sigh.

[But it can’t be helped if they don’t let non-residents play because of maintenance fees.]

[└Forget maintenance fees, do you know how much the Yeomyeong Guild has raised property values in that neighborhood? lol]

[└Did they raise it a lot?]

[└Even when housing prices were falling everywhere else, that neighborhood went up. It’s all thanks to the Yeomyeong Guild, but chasing away the Yeomyeong kids shows they’re not thinking.]

[It’s only right for apartment residents to make way if the Yeomyeong kids want to play.]

[└Is it that serious??]

[└Yeah, that neighborhood basically lives off Yeomyeong.]

[To begin with, beast-kin kids probably don’t understand worldly matters well, so they probably don’t even have the concept of someone else’s playground? From the kids’ perspective, they were just playing and suddenly got yelled at and chased away.]

[└This is right. The kids are really innocent.]

The comment reactions weren’t bad.

It was thanks to their good public image.

‘Well, it wasn’t a huge deal after all.’

The children were hurt, but it wasn’t a dangerous situation.

As Yeoreum sighed in relief, crying sounds pierced her ears.

“Waaah.”

It was Gaeul’s crying.

Yeoreum decided to comfort the children first.

—

I brought the children back home.

Dahui kept apologizing, probably thinking it was her fault we got hurt.

“I’m sorry. It’s because I suddenly ran…”

“It’s okay. We’re tough, so this is nothing.”

After reassuring Dahui, I returned to the park.

Even on the way, Gaeul kept crying pitifully.

“Gaeul, stop.”

“Stoo.”

Gaeul swallowed her tears, mimicking my words.

Then she looked me up and down and burst into tears again.

“Waaah.”

“G-Gaeul…”

The wound must be really painful.

We should get home quickly and apply some medicine.

As we were moving, supporting Gaeul together with the children…

“Kids!”

Yeoreum came running, calling our names.

She was holding a red potion in her hand.

Oh my.

To think she’d use a potion for mere scrapes.

It wasn’t very cost-effective.

I hurriedly pointed to Gaeul next to me.

“I’m fine. Give it to Gaeul.”

“What are you talking about, Gyeoul looks like she needs the potion too.”

“That’s right! King needs potion too!”

Levinas stomped on the ground.

Saebyeok silently approached and held my body tightly.

It seemed to mean I shouldn’t resist and should apply the potion.

“R-really, I’m fine…”

While I was arguing with my family, Gaeul moved.

She took the potion from Yeoreum’s hand and opened the lid.

Pop-!

A cheerful sound rang out.

To think she couldn’t hold back and took the potion.

I could indirectly experience how much pain Gaeul was in.

I looked at Gaeul worriedly.

Then Gaeul approached me with the potion.

“Master…”

My knee and cheek.

She applied the potion to the injured areas.

Thanks to the potion, the wounds quickly regenerated.

“Master!”

Seeing me healed, Gaeul started smiling brightly.

She wagged her tail and licked my cheek.

Only then did I realize that Gaeul hadn’t been crying because of her own pain.

Gaeul had cried seeing the wounds on me, not herself.

“Gaeul, are you okay? We should apply potion to Gaeul too.”

“Gaeuwi okay. No hurt.”

“Let’s apply it anyway.”

“Heh.”

I applied the potion to Gaeul’s wounds.

Meanwhile, Yeoreum was talking with Dahui.

“Ah, so you got chased out while playing?”

“Yes… It’s my fault, I’m sorry…”

“Hey, how is this Dahui’s fault? It’s okay. Dahui doesn’t need to be sorry.”

Yeoreum reassured Dahui, and we joined in too.

Only then did Dahui seem relieved and smiled.

“I’m sorry about today. Let’s play again and have more fun next time.”

“Okay!”

“Bye-bye!”

We waved to Dahui as she left.

When Dahui was out of sight, Yeoreum spoke up.

“You went to quite a far playground, huh? Isn’t the park playground fun?”

“The park playground is fun too! It has a super long slide, so it’s fun!”

Levinas’s eyebrows rose fiercely.

She seemed angry about being chased from the playground.

“Our playground has swings and seesaws too!”

Levinas shouted loudly, looking in one direction.

It was the direction of the playground we had gone to play at.

“We have a merry-go-round too, and we can play in the dirt! Our playground is the best too! Our playground has everything!”

Ahem!

Levinas puffed out her chest.

It seemed like she was saying this to the woman who had chased us away.

Levinas, who had been standing like that for a while, suddenly slumped her shoulders.

Her long rabbit ears also drooped lifelessly.

“But we don’t have a swimming pool playground…”

Levinas’s voice was full of regret about the swimming pool playground.

Even I found the swimming pool playground fun, so…

It must have been a dream playground for Levinas.

How disappointed must she be after being chased away from such a playground?

She pretended to be okay so as not to disappoint us, but couldn’t hide all her regret.

Seeing her pitiful state, I felt a surge of emotion without realizing it.

“Levinas, don’t be so discouraged. I’ll make you a swimming pool playground!”

“W-will King?”

“Yeah! I’ll make you something much more amazing and fun!”

“Ah!”

Levinas’s eyes sparkled.

They were eyes full of trust.

It was something I had blurted out without thinking, but there was no reason I couldn’t do it.

I decided to try making a swimming pool playground for Levinas.

—

—

I brought materials from the container and tent.

I planned to make a slide first.

I could get the materials for the slide through the guild.

An old horizontal bar discarded by a guild adventurer.

The horizontal bar with supports wouldn’t tip over no matter which direction you hung from it.

I placed the horizontal bar over the pond and tied cloth to the bar.

Then I pulled the cloth tied to the bar taut diagonally.

The idea was to slide down the diagonally pulled cloth.

‘Not bad.’

The landing point of the cloth slide was the pond.

It was quite easy to connect the cloth to the bottom of the pond.

All I had to do was stick a reinforced arrow into the pond bottom and tie the cloth tightly to the arrow.

“W-wow, Gyeoul really made a slide…?”

“Yes. It’s a cloth slide.”

I placed the ladder I got from Yeoreum behind the horizontal bar.

I also secured it tightly with rope just in case.

It was the completion of a crude but plausible slide.

“I’ll try it first.”

“Okay…”

I climbed up the ladder onto the horizontal bar.

Yeoreum was reaching out towards me.

It meant don’t worry, she’d catch me if it looked dangerous.

I sat astride the horizontal bar and stretched my feet down to the diagonally descending cloth.

Then I slid down the cloth.

Whoosh-

Splash-!

As I slid down, the cold pond water soaked my body.

It seemed pretty well-made.

“King! That’s amazing!”

Levinas hopped up and down outside the pond.

I grinned and climbed out of the pond.

In that brief moment of climbing out, the Master had approached.

“What’s this?”

“It’s a slide Gyeoul made.”

“Why did you make this?”

“Well…”

Yeoreum explained our situation to the Master.

Including how we got chased away from the playground and got hurt.

“You got chased away?”

“Yes. So Gyeoul is making a swimming pool playground. The playground must have been really fun.”

“……”

The Master furrowed his brow.

He stared at the slide I made for a long time in that state.

Levinas hopped around in front of the Master like that.

“Master! King made something even cooler than the slide over there.”

“Yeah, it’s cool.”

Pat pat, the Master stroked my head.

It felt like I was being praised somehow.

“I’m going to make another one.”

“No, don’t make any more.”

“W-why not…?”

“I’ll make it for you.”

Saying that, the Master turned his gaze.

It was in the direction of the swimming pool playground where we had played.

His eyes looked scary somehow.
