Chapter 319
Jo Chan-young snorted at Seo Dawon’s words–
[What, did you train him or sothing? So animal-handling skills don’t prove that what you did wasn’t abuse.]
[Don’t you think you’ll be able to see for yourself afterwards?]
[……]
However, Seo Dawon’s relaxed attitude seed to agitate Jo Chan-young sowhat. He looked down at with a stern look on his face.
At that mont, I felt a little depressed as I realized I would need to put on a simulacrum of a circus act. ‘But, if I don’t do this, I don’t think Jo Chan-young will give up….’
I tried to think positively, but I found it positively humiliating to act like a hamster(?) for Bang Eunji, who was probably still observing from so unknown location. What would she think of after this?!
anwhile, though the Summoner seed to be suspicious until the very end, he eventually acquiesced to the Mage’s confidence. His tone laden with doubt, he threatened–
[…If you use a weird skill, I’m going to leave imdiately with Cutie.]
[Do as you please.]
Seo Dawon smiled cheekily, as if he had expected that response.
Though Jo Chan-young was hostile towards the Mage due to the Mage’s suspected abuse, it was clear the man still had so trust– that he still couldn’t entirely believe the Mage would do sothing so heinous. He soon relaxed his grip and gently bent down to place on the floor.
‘How on earth did Seo Dawon recruit soone who’s only warm and affectionate towards animals?’
After noticing their unexpectedly close relationship, I glanced up at Jo Chan-young, but, at the following call, I looked back to the owner of that voice.
[Lee-kyung-ah.]
Even though he rely called my na, I could sense a hint of annoyance within those words.
My shoulders flinched, and I quickly ran towards the Mage. Imdiately, Jo Chan-young muttered a quick ‘Hmph!’ behind .
Not long after the Mage called , I reached his feet; Seo Dawon pretended as if he hadn’t urged to his side. I grabbed onto the ends of his shoes and cranked my neck back far enough to look up at the Mage; he looked down at with a strange, mysterious smile.
I beca incredibly anxious at that expression, but, with no other choice, I hovered at his feet and shouted, stretching my arms up, “A-Aren’t you going to pick up?”
However, for so reason, Seo Dawon’s horrible smile beca more intense.
Seo Dawon crouched down as if he were about to pick up, but instead of holding in his grasp, he grabbed by the maid skirt with two fingers and created so distance between us by dragging away.
I looked up at him, bewildered, at the unexpected push; my body froze where he left . After thoroughly disheartening , Seo Dawon calmly ordered–
[Lee-kyung-ah, if you want to go with , then lie flat on the ground.]
“…What?”
[If you want to go with , show your belly.]
My mouth opened wide from shock, but Seo Dawon rely smiled in a leisurely manner. He had no qualms about treating like so puppy.
“You… Are you… insane? Hey!”
[If you don’t want to, then go to Chan-young-ie.]
“……” Seo Dawon responded, despicably, at my shaking protests. Furthermore, Jo Chan-young’s sarcastic remarks from behind didn’t help my situation at all.
[Do you think a hamster is a dog?]
[Lee-kyung-ie understands everything that’s being said.]
[He looks like he understands nothing, though?]
[Really? Then, I guess I thought wrong.]
[What on…]
Though I wasn’t familiar with Jo Chan-young, Seo Dawon’s last words were like a subtle threat to . It was only then did I realize that he wouldn’t easily let go of his anger.
“S-Seo Dawon… Y-You’re being too much… I said I’d…explain everything!” I tried my hardest to plead with him, but all I received in return was the Mage’s frustrating smile and elegant disregard.
[If Lee-kyung-ie doesn’t flop over onto the ground in 5 seconds, you can take him and raise him well.]
[…Let’s do that.]
[5, 4-]
He even started a countdown. I quickly sat down on the floor and laid prone on the ground. “…I-I’m doing it! I did, alright?!”
With my body stuck to the floor, I looked at Seo Dawon. He smirked quite obviously, perhaps enjoying this humiliation.
No–I was certain about his enjoynt. The Mage followed with more unreasonable orders, as if he were a drill sergeant during my ti in the army.
[Lee-kyung-ie, roll to the left.]
[Now, to the right.]
[Hug my fingers tightly.]
“……”
Even though my eyes were tearing up, I did as he asked. Lastly, the Mage made a circle with his thumb and index finger, and I stuck my head through… He made do every trick a dog was known to do.
And, after watching all that, Jo Chan-young said to his guildmaster, genuinely amazed–
[…He’s truly a genius hamster…]
[I didn’t train him. Lee-kyung-ie understands everything I say. He wants to stay with , after all.]
[That’s…]
[Chan-young-ie also knows that hamsters can’t be trained like this.]
[……]
In the end, Jo Chan-young couldn’t refute those words and stared blatantly at . And his eyes were…how should I put it…more passionate than his previous stares? However, he retreated a few steps as he judged that I was following the Mage out of my own will.
[…Then, did Cutie want to wear all those clothes?]
[He prefers to wear clothes.]
[…How strange. However, I…I suppose I have to trust my eyes even if I can’t fully believe them.]
[Don’t worry. I’ll take care of him well.]
When Jo Chan-young stepped back, accepting those words, I was finally placed atop Seo Dawon’s palm.
I buried my face into his hand, laying face down and hoping that this sha and humiliation would soon pass. However, my small tears would not stop no matter how hard I tried. I blad Seo Dawon inwardly, wiping at my eyes with both arms.
‘Seriously… So an.’
Was this fun for him? I wanted to curse and shout that out loud. However, I was simply sad about this entire situation.
In that way, my brief escape ended in humiliation. After saying his farewells to Jo Chan-young, Seo Dawon left the room without another word to .
After I was held tightly in his hand, I slled the familiar scent of his private study.
Click–
“Ah…” When I heard the soft close of the door, I looked through the gaps of his fingers and looked at his office. Then, seeing the pandemonium–the ssy state of his room–I gasped unwittingly.
As if he had guessed the origins of my surprise, the Mage asked in a derisive tone–
[How was your recent outing, Lee-kyung-ah?]
“A-Argh…!!”
He’s humiliated so much, but his anger has yet to subside?!
However, I had a lot to complain about as well. I imdiately bit his finger to vent my anger, but Seo Dawon lightly pressed my cheeks together with his thumb and index finger. Then, looking at my trembling, he continued to speak–
[I ordered a new house that you’re going to live in from now on.]
As I listened to the Mage, I instinctively searched for the two-story dollhouse I had stayed in, but it was nowhere to be found.
Then, as I lowered my gaze further to the ground, I saw a familiar wall lying half-broken on the floor. The house I had stayed in had been badly damaged, as if soone had thrown it into the wall and smashed it.
I couldn’t tear my gaze away–it was so disturbing and sowhat heartbreaking. After checking what I was gazing at, the Mage smirked.
[I had thought you were frustrated with the place–maybe it was too small.]
“……”
[There’s no owner like , right, Lee-kyung-ah?]
He was clearly intimidating . Though I was frightened by the underlying implications, I finally protested through my trembles. “You’re not my owner.”
Seo Dawon smirked at my glares and pulled at my cheeks–
[No? Then you should have followed Jo Chan-young. What are you saying now after following all my directions?]
“Jo Chan-young thinks I’m a hamster!”
[It’s not so different with as well. You don’t feel particularly like a human.]
“What….?” I looked up at him, shocked. The gleam in Seo Dawon’s eyes was darker than I had expected.
Seo Dawon stared at and pulled at the maid suit he had personally placed on my body; with one tug from his fingers, the dress tore easily. All this felt…sohow creepy. I reflexively covered up my exposed shoulders, but Seo Dawon pressed my hands with the tips of his nails, restricting my movents.
He looked down at with an incomprehensible expression and asked in a quietly reproachful tone–
[Why did you lie to ?]
“……”
[I was going crazy–I thought I’d find you dead.]
Beco a Patron!
