I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild Chapter 388: Tail Floaty

We returned ho through the portal.

The first thing we saw after crossing was Han Yeoreum and Sophia waiting for us.

Master, who had gone ahead, must have told them we were coming.

"Hmm..."

Sophia looked over and the children one by one.

Having confird we were unhard, she showed a relieved expression.

Han Yeoreum beside her ran toward us.

"Kids!"

We had just seen Han Yeoreum on the other side of the portal.

So while I didn't feel like it had been long since we'd seen her, she seed to feel differently.

"W-wow..."

Han Yeoreum hugged all four of us tightly.

It was hard to breathe but nice to share a hug with everyone.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Yes. We're fine."

"Oh thank goodness."

Sigh.

Han Yeoreum let out a relieved sigh.

I felt sowhat sorry for worrying her.

"Sorry for making you worry... a dungeon suddenly appeared..."

"Oh, don't worry about it. I'm just glad my babies are safe."

"Hehe..."

Han Yeoreum patted each of our backs before standing up.

Then she looked around the park and said:

"The guild adults are worried, so you should go let them know you're back? They've been concerned since they haven't seen you for days."

"Okay."

So days had passed in this world too.

Did ti flow the sa between this world and that one?

If so, their worry made sense.

We decided to talk to the guild mbers first today.

"Then I'll go see them one by one."

"Okay."

Breaking free from Han Yeoreum's embrace, I perked up my ears.

I used my ears and nose to search for nearby guild mbers.

'The closest is...'

Encia.

We ran toward Encia who was walking near the pond.

"Woaaah!"

"Yaaah!"

Levinas ran while making her characteristic shout, and Gaeul followed imitating her.

People walking in the park turned to look at us at the loud noise.

"Oh! It's the kids!"

"The kids made it back safely. The guild mbers were worried too."

"I'm glad they seem okay."

So the park people had been worried about us too.

Keeping that gratitude in my heart, I ran to Encia.

"Wolf!"

Hop-!

Levinas jumped into Encia's arms.

I had been a bit worried about Levinas, but it seed unnecessary.

"Oh, y-you're, you're back?"

Seeing us, Encia stuttered severely.

Through that, I could tell how worried she had been.

"Yes. We're back."

"Nyuu."

Gaeul smiled brightly and squeezed her face between Levinas and Encia.

I belatedly gave Encia a tight hug too.

"Thank goodness, truly."

Sigh.

Beside the relieved Encia, Saebyeok stood blankly.

Encia grabbed Saebyeok's arm and patted her back.

Swish swish-

Saebyeok's tail wagged happily.

**

After returning ho, we let the guild mbers know we were back.

We t Seol and Kkamang in the tent, and visited Yoo Sang-ah and Momoa at the mana stone exchange.

We even got fish-shaped bread from Yoon Chaerin at the guild cafe.

"I'm so glad you're safe."

"Yes."

Choi Jinhyuk, Kwon Arin, and Jeffrey too.

Many guild mbers welcod our return.

I could fully understand why Levinas returned ho without hesitation despite eting her parents.

It was because we had many precious family mbers at the guild too.

"Hehe."

After returning ho like that, I rested for a day then went to a dungeon the next day.

Today's dungeon was Level 2.

It was a dungeon with flying monster fairies called Grim Fairies.

"Kiiiing!"

Gaeul ca running toward with a bunch of Grim Fairies chasing her.

The Grim Fairies looked like goblins but were the size of an adult's forearm and had wings.

They were very aggressive so Gaeul could easily lure them.

"Yeah...!"

I nocked three arrows at once and shot them at the Grim Fairies.

Slash-!

The rapidly flying arrows each pierced a Grim Fairy's head perfectly.

Lightning spread from one arrow electrocuting the Grim Fairies, while another arrow froze nearby ones.

And the last arrow that flew the farthest...

Bang-!

It exploded, blasting away the Grim Fairies.

Jung Yu-na's magic arrows were always the best.

"Good job, Gaeul."

"Heuk."

Gaeul and I collected the Grim Fairies' mana stones.

Beside us, Levinas and Saebyeok were picking mushrooms.

Shaking mushrooms.

They were mushrooms that swayed in the wind, and they sold for 1000 won each.

"Kids, did you pick a lot of mushrooms?"

"No! Only got a few."

Levinas held out a plastic bag.

Indeed, they hadn't gathered many shaking mushrooms.

"Still, these are worth 1000 won each. Even picking a few is great."

"Yeah...!"

After finishing collecting mana stones, I joined the children gathering shaking mushrooms.

Gaeul, who had been watching us with a blank expression, put a shaking mushroom in her mouth.

"Gaeul, mushrooms should be cooked first."

"Heuk...?"

Munch munch-

After eating the mushroom, Gaeul's tail started wagging.

It wagged as fast as when she gave hugs.

'Are shaking mushrooms that tasty?'

When Gaeul's tail wagged that much, it ant sothing was extrely delicious.

They had definitely explained at the entrance that these mushrooms could be eaten raw.

Maybe I should try just one bite?

I brushed off the dirt from a shaking mushroom I was gathering and took a small bite.

"Hm...?"

The taste of the raw shaking mushroom was very ordinary.

But why was my tail wagging?

I turned to look at my rapidly wagging tail behind .

My tail often moved on its own, but this ti sothing was different.

It was like I'd completely lost control of it.

"G-Gaeul...?"

What's going on?

I turned to look at Gaeul in confusion.

Gaeul stood with a blank expression, but strangely only her tail was wagging rapidly.

Usually she smiled brightly when her tail wagged that fast, so why this expression?

I instinctively sensed sothing was wrong.

**

"Sophia!"

After leaving the dungeon, I looked for Sophia first.

Fortunately, Sophia was resting in the massage chair at ho.

"What's the matter?"

"We're in trouble...!"

"Hmm...?"

When I fidgeted in front of Sophia, her gaze went to my tail.

My tail was wagging rapidly while I said we were in trouble.

No wonder she looked puzzled when my words and actions didn't match.

"My tail's acting strange."

"How is it acting strange?"

"After eating this, it won't stop wagging...!"

I held out a shaking mushroom to Sophia.

And showed her Gaeul who had eaten it too.

"You ate shaking mushrooms. Those are poisonous to beast-kin if eaten raw."

"What...?"

Poisonous to beast-kin?

My heart sank, but seeing Sophia's unconcerned expression helped relax a bit.

"It's not a dangerous poison. It just affects the tail nerves."

"Ah... so that's why the tail..."

So it's not too dangerous.

Sigh.

Just as I let out a relieved sigh.

Sophia lightly pinched my cheek.

"Why did you eat raw mushrooms?"

"W-well..."

I wanted to say that Gaeul ate it and wagged her tail so I thought it must be really delicious...

But I kept quiet since it would seem like I was blaming Gaeul.

Then Gaeul, who had been standing blankly, puffed out her chest with an "ahem."

"Gaeul ate."

"...Did Gaeul eat first?"

"Nyuu."

Gaeul seed proud of eating the mushroom.

Why, when sothing was wrong with her body?

After thinking a bit, I realized.

For beast-kin, a wagging tail ant sothing good.

Gaeul might be seeing the unstoppable tail wagging as a good thing.

"Oh dear, now Gaeul's in big trouble."

"Heuk...?"

Watching Sophia rub her face with a serious expression, Gaeul tilted her head.

She clearly didn't understand why she was in trouble.

To be honest, I didn't know either.

"That tail will never stop now. And it will wag faster and faster."

"Hoek!"

"...Your tail might spin so fast you'll fly far into the sky."

Like a helicopter propeller, the tail would spin and eventually make you fly.

Gaeul and I couldn't help being shocked.

Boom-

It was like lightning struck Gaeul's head.

After staring wide-eyed for a while, Gaeul threw her hands up like cheering.

"Good...!"

"...You like that?"

"Nyuu...!"

Gaeul showed her joy by hopping up and down.

Levinas ca running over beside her.

"Shark! Can Levinas fly too?!"

"Well..."

"Levinas's tail is shorter so won't fly as high! That's better because it won't be scary?!"

"Hmm..."

Levinas and Gaeul.

The two children's shining eyes turned to Sophia.

It seed Sophia had tried to play a mischievous prank on the children, but our children's innocence had overco her teasing.
