"T-tail, the tail, the tail..."
Levinas's shoulders hunched up as she held the detached tail.
It must have felt like losing a finger for a human.
The thought of suddenly losing a finger you were pulling on was indeed scary.
"W-what do I do? Levinas pulled off the tail..."
Even though the detached tail looked scary and gross enough to drop, Levinas held onto it desperately.
It seed she felt responsible since the tail's owner was right in front of her.
"Ah... well..."
Just as the woman was about to say sothing, Gaeul, who had been watching this whole scene in a daze, let out a scream.
"Tail! Tail!"
Gaeul pointed at the tail on Levinas's hand and started jumping up and down.
She also stroked her own lower back area.
It looked like she was checking if her own tail was still attached.
She let out a sigh of relief after confirming her tail was still there.
"Everyone, what should we do about this...?"
Levinas, looking dejected, held out the tail to us.
Saebyeok, with her usual expressionless face, answered.
"We can just reattach it."
"What! Can we really reattach it?!"
"Really?!"
Levinas and Gaeul's ears perked up.
Then, as if making up her mind, Gaeul picked up the tail from Levinas's hand.
"Gaeul, why are you taking the tail?"
"Attach!"
Gaeul, holding the tail, moved behind Levinas.
Just as I was wondering what she was up to,
Gaeul stuck the tail to Levinas's lower back.
"Oh."
Did she attach it to Levinas because it was a rabbit tail?
Now Levinas had two tails.
Levinas, not realizing what had happened to her, just tilted her head in confusion.
"What's Gaeul puppy doing back there?"
"Gaeul attached the tail to you."
"Whaaaat!"
Startled, Levinas felt her lower back.
As she touched the attached tail, her horned rabbit eyes went wide.
"Gaeul puppy! This isn't supposed to be attached to Levinas...!"
"No?"
"No! This is an adult horned rabbit's tail!"
"Huh..."
Gaeul stuck out her tongue and fell into thought for a mont.
She looked back and forth between Levinas and the bunny girl with a blank expression.
The bunny girl seed to find this situation amusing, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
"That's big sister's tail, what should we do?"
"......"
After thinking for a while with her tongue out, Gaeul moved behind Levinas again.
She tugged at Levinas's rabbit tail, but unfortunately, this ti she pulled on the real one.
It seed she had forgotten which tail she had attached.
She probably thought she could remove either tail.
Stretch-
Levinas's rabbit tail stretched out long.
Seeing this, Gaeul's eyes grew as big as saucers.
I was surprised too when I first learned rabbit tails could stretch.
I could understand how Gaeul felt.
"Tail stuck!"
"What?!"
Tug tug-
Every ti Gaeul pulled, Levinas's tail stretched more.
It seed like I should step in to help.
"Gaeul, you need to remove the tail you attached first."
"This one?"
Gaeul reached for the tail attached on top.
Finally, with a pop, the tail ca off.
"...!"
Gaeul held out the detached tail to everyone.
She looked sowhat proud of herself.
"Oh my, can you reattach that to big sister?"
"Yeah."
Gaeul stuck the detached tail back onto the woman's tailbone area.
With everything back to normal, Levinas let out a sigh of relief.
"Can adult horned rabbits just attach and detach their tails like that...!"
"Actually, big sister is-"
As the woman was about to say sothing, I made a shushing gesture.
It would an lying to Levinas, but I wanted to give her the comfort of knowing she had kin.
"Adult horned rabbit, can you live with Levinas?"
"Um... well, adult horned rabbit already has a family to live with."
"Really?!"
Giggling, Levinas took out her smartphone.
She asked a passerby to take a commorative photo.
Since they couldn't live together, it seed she wanted to keep a picture.
"Adult horned rabbit has to go now because of the event."
"Okay! Take care!"
"Goodbye."
We waved to the bunny girl as she entered the stadium.
I felt good seeing Levinas's mood so elevated.
"King! There are horned rabbits other than Levinas!"
"Yeah, that's right."
"There might be more horned rabbits sowhere!"
Levinas jumped up and down in her spot.
It was the kind of jump she only did when she was truly happy.
**
Yeomyeong High School.
Many students were excited about the school festival happening next week.
Since Cho Yuchan's group had stopped bullying her, Yoon Chaerin could now enjoy preparing for the festival too.
It was thanks to the friends who had been helping her little by little since the bullying started.
"You want to do a cafe?"
"Yeah. Chaerin, your fish-shaped bread is amazing. We'd make a killing just selling that."
"That's true. And we have a lot of classmates who work part-ti at cafes."
"So we'll sell fish-shaped bread and coffee, right?"
So they were going with a cafe after all.
Yoon Chaerin wrote down 'cafe' in her notebook.
Necessary ingredients and materials.
Calculating everything precisely was Yoon Chaerin's specialty.
'I hope it goes well.'
Yeomyeong High School's festival was famous, so many people from outside visited too.
Yoon Chaerin felt a bit pressured about being the main attraction.
"But what if no one cos to our cafe?"
"We'll just tell all our families to co. Chaerin, you should invite all your family too."
", I..."
Yoon Chaerin lived with just her grandmother.
She had family, but not 'families'.
Realizing their mistake belatedly, her friends quickly changed the subject.
"W-well, you're close with Gyeoul, right?"
"Yeah. Those kids really loved fish-shaped bread. Tell them to co try it at the festival."
It would be nice if they ca.
Yoon Chaerin looked down at her notebook, her eyes full of expectation.
"I'll ask, but I can't promise anything."
The children probably had their own schedules too.
Asking them to co regardless would just be an inconvenience.
"Hey, Chaerin might say that and then suddenly bring the Yeomyeong Guild master."
"Hehe, is Chaerin secretly influential in Yeomyeong Guild? It'd be hilarious if she brought all the Yeomyeong Guild people."
"N-no, I'm really nothing special."
Yoon Chaerin waved her hands at her friends.
Knowing they were just joking, she smiled.
'Guild master, really.'
I'm just borrowing space at the guild, I'm not even a low-ranking mber.
The situation was so far-fetched that she couldn't help but chuckle.
**
"King! Let's run!"
"A race?"
"No! I just want to run!"
"Okay. Let's run together then."
Ready.
Go!
I ran through the park with Levinas.
At that mont, Yoon Chaerin approached us holding a bag of fish-shaped bread.
It slls delicious.
Levinas and I changed direction and ran towards Yoon Chaerin.
"Fish bread!"
"Yeah."
Yoon Chaerin took out the fish-shaped bread and shared it with us.
But unlike usual, she seed to be hesitating about sothing.
"Is sothing wrong?"
"Ah... actually, there's a festival at our high school?"
"A festival?"
"Yeah. It's happening for three days next week. If you have ti, could you maybe co for one day?"
A festival at Yoon Chaerin's school.
There was no reason not to go.
I nodded quickly to Yoon Chaerin.
"Yes. We'll definitely co."
"R-really?"
"Yes. I'm already looking forward to it."
"Levinas too! Levinas wants to go to the festival too!"
Hop hop-
Levinas jumped up and down in her spot.
Seeing this, a smile spread across Yoon Chaerin's face.
"Thank you. I'll work hard preparing for the festival."
"Okay."
We chatted with Yoon Chaerin about various things before parting ways.
As I watched Yoon Chaerin enter the guild building, I thought about the festival.
'A festival, huh.'
Festivals are more fun when enjoyed with everyone.
Maybe I should ask the other family mbers to go together.
I tracked the pheromones while eating the fish-shaped bread Yoon Chaerin had given us.
The pheromones I had left on Yeoreum were coming from the conference room.
'Should I go ask?'
The other family mbers would probably be in the conference room too.
I shouldn't interrupt the eting, so maybe I'll go a bit later.
I had a rough idea of when the eting would end.
I headed to the conference room in ti for the end of the eting.
As always, the security guard opened the door for .
"Oh my, Gyeoul's here?"
"Yes."
There were many people in the conference room.
Yeoreum and Jung Yu-na.
Our Master and Jeffrey were there too.
Master said he was going sowhere, but he's back.
My tail wagged with happiness at seeing him.
"What's up?"
I ran towards the Master, who looked puzzled.
I tried to sit on his lap, but his legs were under the desk so I couldn't.
The Master seed to realize this too and pulled his chair back a bit.
"There's a festival at Yeomyeong High School next week."
"...You want us to go together?"
"Yes. I think it would be fun if we all went to the festival together."
Will they co with ?
I glanced up at the Master.
Then Jeffrey, sitting opposite the Master, raised his hand.
"May I join too?"
"Yes. Jeffrey should co too."
Jeffrey was in.
And then...
"Your sister is definitely going."
"I'll go too."
Yeoreum and Jung Yu-na were in as well.
Naturally, everyone's gaze turned to the Master.
"If we're going, we're going."
"Wow."
A festival with everyone together.
It was exciting just to imagine.
My tail was wagging so fast.
I'm looking forward to next week.
Not because of the festival itself, but because we can all be together.
