After reducing some MP by natural destruction, treated Yu Ji-han moderately.

[Contagious Disease Patient (40)]

“Ugh, finally the medicine seems to be taking effect.”

“Didn’t go to the hospital?”

Yu Ji-han smiled and waved his hand.

“Why go to the hospital for just a cold. If left it heals itself.”

From the numbers doesn’t seem a simple cold.

“But what are all these cats? Different from the ones before somehow the color? Fur is glossy too.”

On the yard a black shade was widely installed. On the platform a wireless fan was turning.

Cool.

“Earlier said should have listened to the truck grandfather and my words, what was that again.”

“That is.”

Yu Ji-han scratched his neck.

“The hyung next door left the cats to me and disappeared.”

“What?”

Next door was passionate about promoting kitten adoption. But in the end only 3 succeeded in adoption.

“At first said not enough money to buy feed and sand so lend. But I also have no money. Said hard, then said take care of just one or two. Too many cats at home hard to breathe.”

After looking after like that a few times, three days ago suddenly ‘I’ll go earn money, please until then!’ left the cats and contact cut off was the story.

For now the cats’ feed the neighborhood elders clicked their tongues and bought.

“When saying can’t raise outside because dangerous when, just left like this and went.”

“Shouldn’t report as abandonment abuse?”

“Ah, don’t know. Head too hurts to think that far.”

Yu Ji-han lay sprawled on the platform. I also sat on the platform, and peeled one ice cream bought on the way.

“Didn’t that guy go ride an ocean fishing boat or something?”

“No way.”

At Park Jae-yoon’s silly words Yu Ji-han chuckled then turned to me.

“But, why are all the cats gathering to you?”

On the knees two kittens, beside the butt and thigh cats stuck tightly.

At the feet cats also sitting or lying comfortably with front paws neatly gathered.

When just arrived a little earlier, only the stray cats I treated before approached. But after treating Yu Ji-han, then the next door cats recognized me and pretended to be close.

“Didn’t know I got a new nickname?”

“What?”

“Human catnip.”

“Uh···.”

Park Jae-yoon seeing me surrounded by cats, gently put distance.

“Seems so. Ugh, fur.”

“Anyway because of that contacted Park Jae-yoon not me? Worried I’d laugh saying ‘should have listened to my words earlier, bastard’?”

“Yeah.”

So laughed freely.

“Puhaha. Serves you right.”

“This shit.”

“So what to help?”

“Instead of me later help pick watermelons at Grandma Kang’s house.”

“Kang?”

Park Jae-yoon looked at me.

I made an absurd expression.

“How many Kang in Korea, would be relatives with me?”

“I didn’t say particular?”

“If helping can get some watermelons?”

“A person with big hands, will give a lot?”

Time when the stinging heat subsided a bit.

We changed into clothes suitable for field work, and headed to Grandma Kang’s watermelon field.

“Haiyo···.”

The elders in the field burst into laughter as soon as seeing us.

“Asked to lend a hand a bit, what bringing a cat corps.”

Since about 10 cats following behind me, such words were bound to come out.

At that time.

[Natural Enemy Relationship Activated]

Bright red [Mouse] hiding here and there in the field squeaked and ran. Then the cats all wiggled their butts, and started chasing them.

Meow meow!

War!

“Oh my? Look at those chasing the mice.”

“Aigo! Well done, butterflies.”

I spread both arms and smiled calmly.

“Hello. Human catnip who came to pick watermelons.”

“Perilla leaf?”

“No, not perilla leaf but catnip.”

***

Watermelons were full loaded in a small compact car.

Grandma Kang said as reward for chasing the mice with the cat corps, gave separately from the daily wage.

“Will this car even roll?”

“No way it’ll break midway. I believe my car.”

Added looking at Park Jae-yoon.

“If really then just abandon you and go.”

“Hey, this disloyal bastard.”

The system log came up when, after washing and shaking off the hair with a towel.

[System]

-Defeated ‘mouse’.

-Experience +0.8%

“······?”

I turned around the bathroom, then looked under my feet.

Since [Natural Enemy Relationship Activated] didn’t appear, originally no way there was a mouse around me.

“Ah, startled!”

At that time Yu Ji-han sprawled on the platform jumped up in fright.

“Why bringing that again!”

One cat brought a mouse in its mouth. From the limp look dead.

“Throw that outside. Quickly!”

Thud.

The cat dropped the mouse.

Yu Ji-han made a crying face.

“Noo, don’t leave it heree···! Don’t have to repay kindness with this kind of thing?”

The cat that brought the mouse was the stray cat I treated before.

No way the cat that received my treatment hunting the mouse is also recognized as me defeating?

“Hey, Yu Ji-han. This guy did this before?”

“Uh···. The day before yesterday also brought a dead mouse. Thought if showing dislike strongly would understand a bit but···.”

Seems if the cat is within a certain distance experience comes to me.

Yu Ji-han raised hands to waist.

“You man, catching mice like this can catch a disease.”

Meow.

“Where answering back, every day not listening.”

Meow.

“Why are you fighting with the cat.”

“Hey. You also try having more cats than people around. Will become like this?”

Next day dawn.

Naturally woke because the air conditioner wind was too cold.

“Treat, yes.”

Treated Yu Ji-han since woke.

[System]

[MP 220/220]

Huh.

Still a bit short on experience to level up.

Sitting on the floor looked at the previous logs.

[System]

Thanks to the cats’ mouse hunting.

But when came last time this kind of log didn’t appear.

Because the cats didn’t catch mice?

Maybe related to the ‘animal affinity’ number rising.

I looked around the cats that approached loitering, and stroked their heads.

“Still as much as possible only chase, don’t bite. Can be dangerous.”

Meow, meow.

Morning came.

Yu Ji-han got up yawning noisily.

With a completely refreshed face thanks to my treatment.

“Uwa, as expected when sick sleeping soundly is the best. No, is youth the best?”

“If overconfident just because young will suddenly go.”

“Heh. Anyway thanks for coming. When alone and sick it was really pitiful. I’m dying from pain but the cats beside scattering fur, playing among themselves and even kicking me.”

Even saying like this, Yu Ji-han’s hands were stroking the cats.

“Next door, if still no contact even contact an animal protection group. Actually no reason for you to take responsibility. If the kittens’ heat starts even more uncontrollable.”

“Yeah.”

Me and Park Jae-yoon ate breakfast and got in the car.

The car was full of watermelon smell.

“The car feels a bit sunken.”

“Loaded full of watermelons so natural.”

“Hey, this if wrongly going over a speed bump watermelons break and a big disaster?”

“No way.”

“Go carefully. Thanks both for coming.”

“Yeah. Will come play again.”

The car felt heavy, but fortunately rolled well.

A few hours later.

Arrived in front of Park Jae-yoon’s house.

“Hello. Long time no see.”

“Oh oh, Bong-sik! Long time. Seems even more handsome in the meantime?”

“Haha, thank you.”

I moved the watermelons for Park Jae-yoon’s share inside together. Then discovered.

Meow.

A kitten quietly crouched in the gap of the watermelon box.

“No, when on earth did you enter.”

Park Jae-yoon also made a surprised expression.

“What. This guy no way rode from Yu Ji-han’s house? No sound throughout coming.”

“Indeed.”

Meow.

“Oh my, what’s the cat?”

“Seems rode the car from the countryside. Haha···.”

“Aigo, so quiet. Has an owner? Fur too clean?”

“The owner left lots of cats to Yu Ji-han, and contact cut off.”

“What? What kind of person is that?”

Park Jae-yoon’s mother hearing the story of Yu Ji-han and next door, clicked her tongue and hugged the cat.

Whether a cat used to human hands, quietly hugged in arms.

“Then this guy, shall we raise?”

“Really, mother?”

“Raised a cat before, and this also seems like a connection. It was in the watermelon box Jae-yoon received.”

“Mother, that’s forced. Just decided to split half with Kang Bong-sik···.”

Park Jae-yoon’s mother pretended to listen to the son’s words, and stroked the cat smiling widely.

“From now your name is ‘Watermelon’.”

Meow.

Somehow kidnapped one cat and sent for adoption.

Is this okay.

“Park Jae-yoon, first contact Yu Ji-han.”

Park Jae-yoon also smiled as if this situation is absurd.

“Yeah. Should.”

After arriving at our apartment, held two watermelons and headed to the security office.

“Watermelon~ came~. Fresh~ watermelon just harvested yesterday came~.”

Singing and offering two watermelons, the security guards burst into laughter.

“503 student, this time watermelon?”

“Haha. Helped the watermelon field yesterday and received a lot for free. Please eat.”

“The eggs last time also ate really deliciously. Really thank you.”

Remaining in the car 4 watermelons.

Strength increased so can carry all, but just called Father.

Father seeing the watermelons tilted his head.

“Somehow last time also seems similar thing happened.”

“Haha. Still this time only 4. Can eat all soon right?”

After moving the watermelons home, headed to the car wash after a long time. Went to the countryside so the bottom of the car dirty, and inside watermelon leaves and dust fell.

Buzz.

Roughly finished washing and finally polishing, consecutive messages came from Jin Se-hyeok.

-[Bong-sik]

-[The escape room cafe you recommended]

-[Too scary]

-[Almost pissedㅋ]

-[ㅡㅡ]

A while ago, heard that escape room cafe opened again so uploaded a recommendation post on SNS.

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

Just typed this and sent, immediately a call came.

-[Bong-sik do you have time the week after next?]

“Why?”

-[Around then my drama filming ends and receive vacation. Trying to go to Dokdo also filming a travel vlog. Come together.]

“I went a while ago?”

-[So saying? I never went. Heh.]

A small question arose.

“But vacation why filming vlog?”

-[To show fans later.]

“Then isn’t that work?”

-[No? Filming while going on vacation.]

“······?”

Idols originally the public and private boundary blurry?

-[I’ll film so Bong-sik doesn’t appear. I’ll cover all expenses, so come lightly with just the body.]

Hearing Jin Se-hyeok’s story, the post I had forgotten for a while came to mind.

“Can I think a bit?”

-[Yeah, think slowly.]

That evening.

I quietly looked at the post looking for me, then sent a DM with a new account.

[Hello, the seagull friend in the photo. Can I know for what matter looking?]

Immediately a DM came.

-[Nice to meet!]

-[By any chance how is your usual relationship with mice?]

What kind of question is this.

I didn’t send a reply.

Separately from the ‘Plague Doctor’ doing treatment prayer, can also be active as a human mouse eradicator but···.

Thinking about it, is there really a need to?

[Contagious Disease Patient (20)]

At that time beyond the ceiling [Contagious Disease Patient] was visible. Whether sitting or lying on the bed, soon stopped movement.

“Treat, yes.”

[Cannot acquire experience due to specific condition not achieved.]

[Will you treat?]

“······?!”

Following a bright red system window appeared.

[Unachieved condition: ‘mouse’ defeat (7/100)]

I blinked both eyes, then muttered the skill command again.

“Treat, yes.”

[System]

-‘Plague Treatment’ hit.

-‘Plague Treatment’ proficiency +0.2

[MP 200/220]

Really experience doesn’t come in.

Became level 16, a strange restriction appeared.
