In the dimly lit evening, fireworks brightly illuminated the sky.
It was the opening ceremony of the exhibition.
As the opening ceremony was about to begin, thanks to the efforts of the Research Institute employees, the 'Sehee Research Institute booth' which was previously empty, was now quite well-prepared.
A welco face could also be seen.
A piano-playing lizard!
It was only after seeing the lizard that I realized I had completely forgotten about it.
Well, as long as it's being well taken care of and living happily, it's alright, isn't it?
The blue lizard was transferred here after a makeshift isolation room was set up at the exhibition hall.
It was a simple isolation room made of glass, with a large piano placed in the center.
As soon as it arrived at the exhibition hall, the lizard excitedly began performing.
It was still an excellent performance that touched the heart.
There will be many people coming to the exhibition hall, won't the lizard die from this?
[Receives a standing ovation from ten thousand people simultaneously.]
Receiving a simultaneous standing ovation from ten thousand people is no easy feat, so it should be fine?
A 'cute puppy' also ca to the exhibition hall, but it didn't seem to be treated very well.
It was tied up with a leash nailed inside the isolation room.
In the past, such mistreatnt would have made it grow enormously and go berserk.
Seeing the 'cute puppy' beco ta sohow made feel proud and happy.
Well, if it can't control its temper and goes berserk again, I'll just have to take it to the 'Sunny Park' once more to discipline it.
As the isolated Objects from Sehee Research Institute were gradually being moved, there was one thing I didn't like about the exhibition hall.
That was my isolation room.
It's good that a bed and TV were prepared for to live comfortably.
But I didn't really like the rest of the facilities.
A colorful slide and ball pit!
Do they think I'm a child?

Yerin POV:

"Oh-Yerin, we're going to the opening ceremony and coming back."
Leaving such words behind, everyone headed to the venue where the opening ceremony was being held.
Since everyone wanted to go to the opening ceremony, I volunteered to stay behind and watch over the place.
So I sat alone at the counter, guarding the entrance of the 'Sehee Research Institute booth'.
The exhibition hall was deserted as general visitors were not yet allowed to enter.
I didn't mind missing the opening ceremony.
Watching Reaper is more fun!
When I glanced back, Reaper's isolation room was in full view.
When the isolation room was first set up, Reaper had a blank expression.
Was there sothing that didn't sit well with it?
Now, after so ti had passed, it seed quite excited.
It was enjoying the isolation room, throwing balls and swimming around in the ball pit.
The reaper was flailing its arms and legs while swimming in the transparently visible ball pit!
I should take a picture of this sight!
But the perceptive Reaper would definitely notice if I approached or tried to take a picture.
I'll have to be content with secretly watching and saving the image in my mind.

Late at night after the opening ceremony ended, I was watching Sehee and Yerin's argunt while splashing around in the ball pit.
"Sehee unnie, it would be beneficial to take Reaper out with us. If we just leave it like this, problems will arise."
"No, you just want to go out and play with Reaper."
Yerin and Sehee were arguing over sothing not very important.
It was about whether to take out to tour the exhibition hall or not.
"Anyway, even if we leave Reaper confined like this, it will eventually sneak out on its own to look around after so ti, right?"
Ah, how did she know?
I was getting a bit bored of the ball pit and was thinking of checking out if there were any interesting Objects at the exhibition hall...
"If Reaper escapes on its own, it would be a disaster, but if it goes out with a researcher, it won't look like an accident, so it might actually be better?"
The lengthy debate that followed eventually ended with Yerin's persistence defeating Sehee.
"Haah..., this situation was obvious, so I warned the organizers, but they still invited Reaper, so it's on them. Alright, go out with Reaper tomorrow and co back."

In the heart of Seoul, there stood a vast estate occupying a vast plot of land.
After the Object incident broke out and safe lands drastically decreased in Seoul, an estate with such a large plot of land beca extrely valuable.
In the quiet courtyard of such an expensive mansion, an elderly man and a middle-aged man were seated, drinking tea.
"The exhibition has been held as scheduled. Shall we proceed with the trial gradually?"
The elderly man did not respond to the middle-aged man's words and simply drank his tea.
Seeming familiar with this situation, the middle-aged man bowed to the elderly man and left the mansion.
After leaving the mansion, the middle-aged man hurriedly made a phone call sowhere.
"We'll have to wait a bit longer for the trial, Elder Oh Mu-ryong."
T/N: Oh Mu-ryong is the head of the National Object Managent Association who has been accused of bribery, if I'm not mistaken.
The man on the phone gestured commands to the driver with just his hands and continued the call.
On the night of the exhibition's opening ceremony, the middle-aged man's car sped down a deserted road.

From early morning, Yerin seed excited.
"Hum, hum."
Yerin was humming and preparing a na tag to hang around her neck.
The na tag had these words written on it:
That's right.
Yerin was preparing to take around the exhibition hall.
Since it's better for to go around manifested with Yerin rather than ghostifying alone, I was obediently waiting for her preparations to finish.
"Done!"
Yerin held up the na tag she had drawn herself and exclaid loudly.
In addition to the words, there were also drawings on the na tag that looked quite decent.
Wow, Yerin is good at drawing too.
Hanging the na tag around her neck, Yerin picked up with a swooping motion and carried on her shoulder.
"We'll be back!"
Yerin proclaid boldly and strode out of the Sehee Research Institute booth with confident steps.

To be honest, I did wonder if it was okay to go around so openly like this.
But it turned out better than expected.
Rather, there were many people who seed scared, so sightseeing was quite pleasant.
No one tried to co close, only murmuring from afar.
There were quite a few interesting Objects at the exhibition hall that Yerin and I were touring.
If I saw an Object I wanted to look at, I just had to kick my feet to signal her.
Even without words, Yerin understood surprisingly well, which was convenient.
Kick kick.
(Let's go over there.)
"You want to see the Busan Research Institute isolation room over there?"
When Yerin stopped at my signal, I could examine it closely.
Inside the isolation room, there was a single jet-black stone being illuminated by a large light.
It was an Object with a very straightforward na.
A grim Object where if light is shone on the pebble, a werewolf made of shadows appears and slaughters people.
Are they really allowed to bring in sothing like this?
Moreover, they were currently shining intense light on it with a lamp.
Looking at the description below, I could understand the reason.
