"Hello."

Cheonma waved her hand. Seeing her, I furrowed my brows.

It wasn’t strange for her to appear out of nowhere and greet me. By now, I was well aware that everything she did was bizarre. That wasn’t the issue.

"…What are you riding?"@@novelbin@@

The real problem was the creature she was sitting on.

I pointed at the black wolf-like form beneath her. Cheonma followed my hand with her gaze, looking down.

Then she looked back up at me and spoke.

"A friend."

"…What?"

"A friend."

"A friend?"

"Yeah."

"…That thing? With you?"

"Yeah."

What kind of insane nonsense was this? Cheonma befriended Kurung?

I was too dumbfounded to even react properly.

—Grrr.

At Cheonma’s words, Kurung let out a low growl.

Was that denial or affirmation?

I didn’t have the ability to discern meaning from such a brief sound.

So, I simply stared at the creature.

Kurung suddenly lifted its head to look at Cheonma. Their eyes met.

Then, without a word, Cheonma slipped down from its back.

Did they just have a silent conversation?

—Grrr.

Kurung slowly walked toward me and stopped right in front.

It looked exactly like a wolf, or perhaps a large dog.

With violet eyes that resembled Cheonma’s, it stared at me.

I narrowed my eyes and asked,

"…Were you waiting for me?"

—Grrr.

For an animal’s growl, it was oddly crude.

It let out that sound and gave a slight nod.

Meaning—it had known I would come looking for it and had been waiting.

In other words—

"So, you knew about this too."
