Episode 54
Meanwhile, in a peaceful cabin.
Geo was looking after his new family member.
“Is this kid all grown up?”
“Gyarrr.”
“You’re cute.”
It was a cuteness that brought peace to my heart.
Geo gently grabbed Anti-Cat’s two front paws as he saw it lying on its back and flapping its four legs. Cats on Earth don’t like having their paws grabbed, but Anti-Cat didn’t seem to mind at all.
He held the front paws lightly and shook them a few times as if he was playing with a newborn baby.
“Grrrrrrr… .”
“I don’t think you hate it.”
“Mishap.”
“A cat is a cat.”
“Mmmmm.”
“It’s really cold.”
Anticat’s body felt cool, as if touching a stalagmite in a deserted cave.
“Honey, it’s the complete opposite of you.”
“Kururuk?”
“You are warm.”
Perhaps because it evolved from the juice of Lulupu, who grew up under sunlight and moonlight, Honey’s bean-sized body was particularly warm. It also seemed to have gotten even warmer recently thanks to the generous affection it received from the sun god.
“It’ll be hard to stick close to Honey when it’s this cold… ”
I don’t know if there is any scientific basis for this, but don’t you think that if you hold something like a fish or a frog, which is naturally cold, with your hand, you might get burned?
“If you feel uncomfortable with me touching you, just tell me, kid.”
“… … .”
“You keep your mouth shut like a ghost. Good girl, good girl. Very smart.”
It doesn’t seem uncomfortable.
“It seems like you understand what I’m saying.”
That was really interesting.
‘It sparkles like a jewel… It seems to be a crystal of something.’
Anticat’s body was like that of a kitten only a few months old. Its body was filled with a dense sparkle like a well-cut diamond.
Thanks to that, unlike Honey, whose body is completely transparent, it also appeared opaque.
“That’s cool.”
“Ugh.”
“It even knows how to glow on its own, it’s amazing.”
Honey looked at Geo intently from the side.
“… … .”
“… Of course, Honey, you’re special too.”
“Kung.”
“Oh, it’s pretty.”
“Gurr.”
Raising children is so hard.
“By the way, what does our youngest eat when he grows up?”
I roughly checked and it seems that it lives by sucking life out of people. They say that on Earth, it’s treated as a kind of ghost, but if it’s such a cute ghost, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to suck out the life out of it just once.
“I might have to build a cat tower soon… I guess I’m good at making hiding tunnels.”
“Gyarrr.”
“There are tall, rugged trees scattered around here, so it would be good for climbing, but even inside the house, you would need an anti-cat territory. If you resemble a cat, you would be sensitive to your own territory.”
“What.”
“The place where the youngest lived was the ‘Jewel Vein,’ so it would be fun to have a similar environment. If we make a hiding place like a dark ant hole and put some jewels in it… I think it’ll be okay.”
So now it was time to name it.
“Sparkle… .”
“… … .”
“… Is this deja vu?”
It was a similar reaction to when I first thought of the word ‘Golden’ with the name Honey. It was a reaction that seemed to ask, ‘Are you serious, human?’
Geo tried to be a little more creative.
“… … .”
He was silent for a moment and then muttered softly.
“Dana?”
Among Korean names, there is one that means ‘a person who always goes ahead’, but in fact, this was not the reason that I thought of the name ‘Dana’.
“I kept thinking of Diamond, so I thought about giving it a similar name, but Diamond is too long. Even if I shortened it to Diamond, it felt too long.”
But it seems too unscrupulous to shorten it to ‘daa’ or ‘dai’.
“How about making a little change there?”
“No response.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
Passed the examination.
“after.”
Geo gave this honor to the namers of the world. As expected, naming is not an easy task.

“Now let’s go prepare dinner.”
“Kururururuk.”
“I got hungry while naming it.”
I also had to clean up the bone broth.
“Fortunately, it seems that student Cha Ara liked the taste as well.”
The earth’s skeleton has many things to take care of. The process of handling it was similar, but after that, the care was put into controlling the fire and removing the impurities that came up.
“The first bone soup that comes out is too oily, so it’s too much of a burden to eat on its own. I boil the bones at home, but it’s a shame to throw them away, so I try to use them somehow, but the fact that the bones are made from the earth’s own cows is still a hassle.”
“Huh?”
“There is something like that.”
Even though she understood what was being said, Dana, an anti-cat who was not used to it yet, hung on Geo’s shoulder as if to say, ‘I have no idea what you’re talking about.’ It was a heavier and more interesting sight than she had expected.
On the other hand, Honey, who knew that Geo enjoyed cooking, listened calmly. A true gourmet knows the origin of the food he eats and enjoys it more deeply. That’s what Honey and Geo did.
“In that respect, the skull of the wood deer is quite independent.”
If you leave it alone for three days on low heat, the bones and cartilage will melt without you even being able to remove the impurities.
“If you really think about it, there is nothing to throw away about the wood deer.”
“Kurururuk.”
Honey, who had eaten all of the intestines except for some of the intestines, showed strong sympathy. Honey, who was happily shaking her tail feathers, looked back at Geo from Dana’s other shoulder.
“… … .”
“… … ?”
As soon as Geo Honey saw that something had come to mind, he realized what she was talking about.
“…ah.”
Come to think of it, I had a jewel heart that I got while dismantling the wooden deer.
“I forgot to check.”
“Kung kung kung… .”
“If you finish eating today and there are no problems, I’ll give it to you, honey.”
Geo, who was a jewel and could create it himself, did not covet the jewel heart. It felt strange that it was still alive somehow even though it was clearly a part of a dead body.
“But if you think you’ll get sick from eating it, Dad will keep it.”
“Kkuk.”
Honey didn’t go that far and throw a tantrum. Geo was pleased.
“What a wonderful thing.”
He was happy to have a good and honest son. Geo himself may not be a very good person, but he thought it was a great blessing to have such a good family all his life.
Geo skillfully corrected Dana’s flowing posture and said.
“Actually, the bone soup itself was completed when I gave the rice cooked with it to student Cha Ara, but I thought it would be better to keep it in the ice storage and eat it for a long time, so I boiled it a little longer. I could just add more water later if I needed it.”
“Kurururururuk.”
“Yes, you waited a long time too. I can still clearly see you loitering in front of the stove because you wanted to eat, but you really held out well. Judging by your patience, you will grow up to be a big bird later on.”
Honey originally liked liquid food. The wait must have been quite harsh. Geo acknowledged and praised Honey’s patience and went to the cauldron where the bone soup was still boiling.
“oh….”
A sweet scent hits you as soon as you open the lid.
“Good.”
“Knuckle, knuckle, knuckle… .”
“It must be hot now.”
“Kung.”
“If that’s true, I’ll spread it out.”
Honey had received the touch of the sun god several times without any problems. Now, it was natural that there would be no problem with the soup boiled a little longer with firewood. Geo tried to scoop up some soup into a small bowl and give it to Honey.
And Geo saw it.
“honey.”
“Kuruk.”
“It would be good for my body and mind if I came out.”
I’m talking about honey that’s been stuck in a cauldron.
“Kung kung kung… .”
“I don’t want my son to eat our broth. This isn’t a scene from Greco-Roman mythology. What kind of human scum are you planning on turning me into?”
In the meantime, Honey had grown from a magpie to a pigeon, and if she went to the animal hospital, she would definitely be told that she was severely obese and that her guardian would have to be careful.
“It’s already concentrated and the taste is stronger, what is this?”
“Kung kkung kkung kkung kkung… .”
“It’s not good for your health if you eat too salty food. Let’s calm down a bit so that Dad can make it more delicious.”
Honey crawled out of the cauldron, grumbling.
“… … .”
“…you also?”
“Ouch.”
Was he impressed by the antics of his brother who confidently crawled into the cauldron and tasted it anywhere, anytime? Dana, who had been hanging on his shoulder like slime without much motivation, sat down next to the cauldron.
‘It might be a little hot for Dana, who has a low body temperature.’
Geo cooled the soup down as much as possible and handed it to Dana.
“… … .”
licking.
“… … .”
“oh.”
Geo nodded at the sight of her whole body glowing softly and silently.
‘I guess you like it.’
Although he wasn’t a talkative guy like Honey, it seemed like his mood was expressed through his body glowing.
Geo prepared the meal with pride as a father and a chef.
“Let’s eat some rice. I made some when the students came. Let’s eat that.”
“Kuruk.”
“net.”
Dana, who had never shown much interest in eating, seemed to have felt something after tasting the bone broth. It was very interesting to see her following Honey around and meddling in the meal preparation.
“As they say, nothing speaks to kids as well as something delicious… ”
Geo scraped up the rice cooked in bone broth.
After scooping up all the rice grains that were still sticky, I scraped off the remaining scorched rice at the bottom. It was scraped off very cleanly, perhaps thanks to the oiliness of the bone broth used to cook the rice.
“Who would like some nurungji?”
When Geo asked about making a simple snack by rolling up the nurungji, both creatures responded.
“Kurururuk. Kururururuk.”
“Mang, Misap, Mangok… Mangmangmang.”
“… Let’s teach.”
Although the resentment was strong, is there a choice as wise and historic as the wisdom of Solomon? Geo neatly cut the rice ball in half, and when he got there, the two companion creatures stopped grumbling.
While they were busy eating the nurungji rice balls, Geo finished preparing the meal.
“I should try making some grilled rice balls with the bone broth.”
Even though I said that, it didn’t mean that I was really going to bake just one.
“For a side dish, let’s try grilling eggplant in soybean paste… and making some soup.”
Geo headed to the backyard, which he called a vegetable garden and considered a monster garden.
The pea stalk still seemed to have a firm sense of self.
“… … .”
Enough to say hello.
“… It’s starting to get funny.”
Softly.
“Yes, nice to meet you. The weather is nice.”
“… … .”
“Thank you for taking care of the garden today.”
The stem that had received Geo’s greetings sank again calmly.
‘… Even if I pretend to be an ordinary bean stalk now, I won’t look ordinary.’
But Geo decided to respect the privacy of the bean stalk. He naturally overlooked the fact that a normal bean stalk could not move.
Anyway, Geo picked four eggplants and some other vegetables from the garden. After washing them cleanly, he cut the eggplants into appropriate thicknesses and salted them. He peeled the radish and cut it into thin strips. He also took the peas out of their pods and washed them in water.
“… No matter what, I feel a bit awkward putting in beef jerky.”
Geo brought sausages.
“Honey, you don’t like spicy food?”
“Kururururururururuk.”
“I knew it.”
It was a sausage with a refreshing taste.
“Huh?”
“Well, let’s find out later if you can eat spicy food. I’m only making one soup, so if there’s spicy sausage in it, Honey won’t be able to eat it.”
“Ugh.”
“I’ll cook the spicy sausages later.”
It may be an unfamiliar combination to Koreans, but it tastes better than expected when you boil sausage in soup. Of course, it would be a bit ambiguous to use ham that doesn’t even show the shape of meat eggs, like pink sausage or spam… .
“Then shall we take it off now?”
Geo trimmed the sausages.
If you slightly cut the end of the innards and gently push them out with the back of a knife, the meat filling inside the sausage will come out intact.
During this time, the spices have soaked in properly to create a deep aroma, and Geo cuts the meat and intestines into appropriate sizes.
“Now just put them all in.”
Add a little water to the concentrated bone broth and top it with radish, peas, and trimmed sausage.
The peas were thick and grew in the monster field, but were small compared to the others, and the sausages were already good enough to eat raw, so they could be eaten once they were cooked.
“And next is… .”
After lightly grilling the rice balls and putting them in a sauce made with fruit juice, soybean paste, and soy sauce, the eggplants were dipped in it and placed in the oven. By the time the soup was almost done, the rest of the food had also been cooked.
“Let’s eat.”
“Kururururuk.”
“Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my…”
Geo had never seen Dana cry this long before. It was so nice to see her enjoying mealtime so much. The kids were the cutest when they were eating.
“Dad, I’m going to go make an offering to the sun god, so you guys eat first.”
“Mwah.”
“Kuruk.”
Geo headed straight to the second floor art storage room. Several landscape paintings were there. Geo headed straight to the ‘Breathing Sea’.
As expected, the sun god was very pleased… .
“… … .”
Gave a gift.
“… What is this? A certificate?”
“ ”
“Then shouldn’t I receive it? It wasn’t mine to begin with.”
“ ”
“… Yes, I understand.”
I’m not sure what it is, but it doesn’t seem bad, so Geo decides to gratefully accept it.
