243 – The Day of the Nymphs and the Day of Boasting # 3
243 – The Day of the Nymphs and the Day of Boasting # 3
It was an unusually cool morning, perhaps because it had snowed the previous day.
As usual, I ran a few laps around Taecho Village for exercise and patrolling.
━Kkeongkeong… !
━Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… !
━Kkkkkwong… !
The dog squirrels seemed to be doing well despite the unseasonable snow. I heard that dog squirrels are animals that hibernate like nymphs, so I was a little worried about the cold weather.
Several dog squirrels circled around me or chased after me.
He probably noticed the presence of almonds and peanuts in my pocket by smell.
“Come on, eat a lot.”
I filled a small bowl with a handful of almonds and peanuts for the wild squirrels.
━Kkeongkeong… !
━Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… !
It was quite a sight to see squirrels of various colors and stripes swarming around and stuffing peanuts into their mouths.
They all have round bodies and furry tails.
The dog sitting on my shoulder barked.
━Kkeongkeong… !
I don’t know what it meant, but it seemed to say, “Everyone have a good day!” Because Kungkungi is the “Chief dog squirrel,” He has a duty to protect and protect the well-being and peace of other dog squirrels.
Pod-.
At that time, several dog squirrels attacked Keungkungi.
━Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… !
━Pew-! Bwa-!
Challenge?
Could it be that they are friends aiming to become the best dog squirrel?
Being a champion means you always have to accept challengers, so Kkeungkeungi used to fight with young and young dog squirrels several times a day.
It was like the duty of the alpha and chief entity.
“Oh.”
But today’s fight was a little different.
This is because all the dog squirrels that flocked around Kungkungi were female. Among them was Fei, Keongyeon’s girlfriend.
The silver-winged squirrel.
━Kkeongkeong… !
Fei the winged squirrel shouted.
Pabababat-!
The female dog squirrel friends surrounded the dog squirrel and attacked in unison, holding the dog’s arms, legs, shoulders, and tail in their mouths.
━Crumbling… !!!
The dog let out a pitiful cry as if he had been lynched one-sidedly. At that time, Dr. Bang Saeng-hyun, head of the Wildlife Research Institute, who was clearing snow from the apple orchard, spoke to me.
“After observing for several months, the female dog squirrels were especially free-spirited and active. The strength of his personality cannot be put into words. “Everyone can say that they are female leaders.”
“Is that so?”
“Perhaps the females want to have the first dog squirrel’s babies before winter comes. “Attraction to strong males is a common instinct imprinted in the genes of all animals.”
I see.
This meant that the problem was that Kungkungi was too powerful and popular.
In the end, Kkungkungi was covered by several dog squirrels.
It looked exactly like a round ball.
Excellent and powerful males are popular in the wild.
“It’s at the peak of its popularity. I’m jealous of you. “Okay then, I’ll go first.”
I walked away again, leaving the cat being attacked by the females. What we checked this time was an abandoned greenhouse.
There were “Merchant ants” Here.
Merchant ants were mysterious ants that exchanged “Whispering Coins” For various goods.
I wondered if the house where the merchant ants were staying might be broken or damaged due to the snow that fell the previous day, but the greenhouse was stronger than I thought.
━George… !
━Notice… !
A few merchant ants seemed to have recognized me and crawled out from under the old desk.
After taking out the “Inventory Card” From my wallet, I handed out the leftover honey songpyeon to the merchant ants.
Everyone liked it.
But for some reason, the bean songpyeon that Seo Ye-rim made ended up on the floor.
Maybe you don’t like bean songpyeon very much?
It’s delicious.
“So, have any new products arrived?”
Ants shaking their heads.
It seemed like the arrival of new products was quite delayed.
I now left the greenhouse and headed to the bridge over a small stream.
There were several honey ants patrolling there ahead of me.
━Doji… !
It was the knight ant Doji.
Until recently, I was a trainee ant who was clumsy and awkward at various things.
Now, the sight of them marching with several soldier ants was quite majestic.
He seemed like a new platoon leader.
I also had a time as a new platoon leader, so I feel like my memories are flooding back.
“Doji, is everything okay?”
━Doji… !
I see.
Sussssseu-.
At that time, Ang Angi, who was in my pocket, stuck out his head.
━Zuji… !
It’s probably something like, “Good luck in the future!”
Angangi was the emperor of honey ants, and the emperor was a very high being. I presented high-quality ‘hangwa’ that I had received as a gift from Seo Ye-rim to the soldier ants and knight ants who were working hard.
From noble mtl dot com
“You guys take it to the barracks and share it.”
━Doji… !
━Koji… !
━Neji… !
Everyone liked it very much.
Buuung-.
Then something flew into my shoulder.
When I looked closely, I saw that it was Elizabeth, a black obsidian-colored queen ant.
━Oloron… !
Elizabeth was a honey ant with the most unique crying sound.
Still, she seemed to know what Elizabeth wanted to say.
Zek-.
I took the emperor ant out of my pocket and put it down in the same place as Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had come to see Angangi.
“I think “Nymph Day” Starts today, so come back before it’s too late.”
━Zuji… !
━Oloron… !
The golden emperor ant and the black obsidian queen ant Elizabeth moved at the same walking speed and approached the small ditch.
Watching them splashing in the water with each other’s front legs made me feel happy, wondering if that’s what good lovers look like.
I quietly left the place for the ants who got along well.
Now what I will check is the “Pear Tree Habitat,” Which is the habitat of horned owls, and the “Abandoned Warehouse,” Where wolf spiders are hiding.
First, I went to the nearby “Pear Tree Habitat.”
There were many horned owls there, and I looked around to see if Kalinoi was here, but there were none.
“Have you not seen Kalinoi?”
━Kuu, kuu… !
━Buu, Buu… !
Does this mean you didn’t see it?
I tore off the holiday S-grade Korean beef that I received from Seo Ye-rim for the tiger owls and placed it on the bowl.
Then, in an instant, the tiger owls snatched up the plate, making a noise.
“I’m glad everyone is healthy.”
Is all that remains now an “Abandoned warehouse”?
Drurruk-.
When I opened the warehouse door and entered, I saw spiders the size of my palm playing the guitar.
Ding ding ding-.
It was a very skillful work.
━Hiooong… !
As guitarist Kwangkkwang shouted, the little spiders followed suit and started crying. It was a wonderful choir, and I was so moved that I was even moved to tears.
“Kwangkwang, everything is okay, right?”
━Boom boom… !
━Gwanggwang… !
The mechanical spider Miongi was also mixing in with the group of spiders without any problems.
I took out fruit juice from my inventory and poured it on a plate exclusively for the spiders who were practicing their singing.
Wolf spiders like to hunt things, but they also like to drink fruit juice.
Soon, the spiders brought me something to make me feel better.
“Is it a ball of yarn?”
The webs of wolf spiders are strong, well-ventilated, and resistant to fire, making them good for making bulletproof and bulletproof clothing.
It is also said to be the best material for stringed instruments such as guitars and pianos.
I took the “Ball of yarn” That I had worked hard to gather and put it in my pocket.
“Okay, today’s patrol ends here!”
We were worried about the sudden snowfall on an autumn day, but no one had any problems.
It was with that feeling when I returned to the well house.
I bumped into Oinoi, who was staring at the entrance to the village with her head stretched out like a turtle and on tiptoe.
Oinoi said.
“It is clear that soon the nymph sisters will come here to celebrate ‘Nymph Day’… ! This oinoi is temporary, but it is the chief nymph… ! There is a duty to treat guests… !”
Saying that, Oinoi neatly displayed snacks and juice on the table set up in the yard. He didn’t forget to check the nitrogen content in the snack bag by pressing it with his hand.
“Hey… ! A few of the cookie doughs were already broken… ! It is clear that someone deliberately destroyed Oinoi to cause trouble… ! It is said to be nymphophobic… !”
“It usually breaks easily.”
# # #
Oinoi looked more anxious and anxious as time went by.
I moved around diligently, such as climbing on a high chair and looking at the entrance to Taecho Village, checking again how much nitrogen was in the cookie bag, or laying down cold ice for Noi the Snowman.
“The nymph sisters are not coming… ! He said he was worried that the Nymph sisters might not have liked the “Nymph Day” Held by Oinoi… !”
Ah—I see.
Oinoi’s appearance now was similar to that of elementary school students holding a birthday party. She eagerly handed out invitations, but she looked just as nervous and worried about how many of her friends would come.
“If I had known this would happen, I should have advertised that I would be giving away honey sweet potatoes that Oinoi planted himself… ! If that were the case, the nymph sisters would have definitely come early… !”
“Let’s wait a little longer. “Everyone is probably late because of some reason.”
I didn’t think that the nymphs wouldn’t come to the party held by Oinoi.
With that feeling, time passed and it was around lunch time.
When the weather was colder than expected and I felt chilly, a helicopter made a loud noise in the sky and landed in a nearby rice field.
Inside, a woman with long, orange hair got out. She was short like a nymph and had a youthful appearance like a nymph.
Korea’s S Ranker.
This is 「Ice Princess – Cha Yu-ra」.
“Ah! Yuranoy came in first place… ! This Oinoi had a gift prepared for the guest who came in first place… ! I want you to receive this spider web flower crown… !”
Oinoi gave Cha Yu-ra the flower crown she worked so hard to make last night. Cha Yu-ra looked around her and calmly asked, “Am I in first place?”
I felt quite unexpected.
“Yura, you really came. Aren’t you very busy these days? Why, politically and militarily….”
“It’s busy, but you have to come! It’s a nymphs’ event! I am an honorary nymph and the person in charge of promoting the nymph race. Oinoi, how are you?”
“It means I was fine… !”
Cha Yu-ra and Oinoi hugged each other.
They seemed like good sisters.
Boom-.
At that time, several vehicles were seen approaching the entrance of Taecho Village.
When Oinoi saw that, he raised his hands in joy.
“Ah! They say they can feel the presence of nymphs… ! The nymphs started flocking in droves… ! This Oinoi was sad because he thought no one was coming… !”
