Chapter 21: Owlbear (2)
OncU1wAny animal, when it is a baby, is adorable.eg5
WSga9There is even a saying that they survive thanks to that cuteness that awakens the compassion of their enemies.LB99gr
N6CNo matter how fierce an animal may be, most of the time when it is small it radiates a lethal cuteness.QUp0Qr
kzvs1B“Kyuu?”GWvgRuk
jrHxJust like the owlbear cub that was in front of me.10Zb
nRLNCIt only tilted its head, but I felt as if my heart had received a direct hit.wjE
hYimzIf I had to describe an owlbear cub, it would be like this.vph
XS5ucuXA little ball of fur that looks incredibly fluffy is staring at me with wide, round eyes.b83
LUBhThe face of an adult owlbear was extremely fierce, but the cub’s was very gentle.Fczve
AIDGzvBut this is the wild world. Even for an owlbear, surviving as a cub in a place like this is difficult.bJ3
BY9te2CSo, what should I do now?YSBsX
k3fRIkL“Chu chu chu chu. Chu chu. Come here.”Hye0tyS
5viiBAl“Kyuu.”aWyf
XilEuQWhat else would it be? Touch it once.jSOt
vzpI moved my fingers calling it and the owlbear tilted its head before slowly approaching.Xpz
lNCEHThen it buried its nose in my hand and began to sniff. It was the instinct typical of beasts.PigGbJv
QcVDEpWhile the owlbear sniffed, I slowly moved my other hand.ZKw6c0
XN8GSHSwoosh—86iey
mzcSwoosh—kLZ3b
3b8KXMkSwoosh—vJy
CKV“Kyuuung?”jIy
bTdLlPPetting its head with one hand something a four-legged animal could never do.kT8tMeA
5W8WThe little owlbear opened its eyes in surprise at that sensation it was experiencing for the first time.qYZEX
2g3KcFSIts round eyes, even too round, and that tuft of bristled hair on top of its head, so typical of owls.obTIh
qP7AHow could such an adorable creature exist?9bcP4w
5ziVyfMBesides, its size was like that of a medium dog, so it did not represent a great threat.1zzd
N3hz0zJ“Grrr… grrr.”cbo1
tfyVu5Apparently it liked my petting, because it closed its eyes and made a strange sound.19RZGc
7SAWhile I continued petting its head, I calmly entered the gallery.MetSVP

Wj2AㄴWildGrills) Its mother tried to kill me, I also have to live;;Pb4Mytu
PSJBHGㄴWell, surviving comes first hahaatt
O6ijㄴHeavenlyDemon) It is certainly adorable. It looks like a little ball of fur. I would like to hug it once.Da5LHQ

8vPMost people praised the owlbear cub.fEAxb
NfzAnd seeing a ball of fur like that, it would be strange if the heart did not melt.9PeBGCr
M44jUBut nature is always cruel.PS6C
ENS6WlThen I found a comment.cpcA
PUYFeㄴSo what if it is cute? It still has to be killedSRqd
13jTㄴWhy kill something so cute?FafT9
kO2UㄴBoo. Trash!qyVnYZ
XpdGRㄴHey, damn it. Then are you going to raise it? When it gets hungry it will eat Grills firstk8uv
NSh50ㄴI heard a story. A noble raised an owlbear, went on vacation and when he returned it had eaten himAAY21z
CZoqJㄴUgh can they really be raised?qTZkZ
6gLv6ㄴIf you give it food properly, its loyalty is incredible. If you do not feed it, you become the food hahag1Pjv
4iGㄴHahaha5v68Rb
83UㄴBesides this is nature. How are you going to raise it?Uq1
hD8CGㄴDo we really have to kill it? It is too cute7b1U
vVRLㄴBy the size it looks like a newbornYlOQY2k
zmzkdAfter reading that comment I looked at the owlbear.rgK6
9oRNThe owlbear was rubbing its face against my hand as if it truly enjoyed my petting.xqqe8I8
tHJqJust seeing it made any bad mood disappear.KEaMPK
kaJGGBBut a wild animal is still a wild animal.BmEH
DGAqtjQEspecially owlbears. They say they have a terrible appetite and that they even devour their owners frequently.hYVN
CUL“Kyuuung. Kyuu.”Nfc
WyRlkuWould a creature that cute really do that?bvTd8
xVCeOUsI looked at it with some sadness.Ow1JaLC
xcRpeZIf I am cold about it, the best thing would be to kill it myself to avoid problems later.grG
dDaSomeone might say to raise it, but right now I can barely take care of myself.emG
0ZGQIf even rich nobles have difficulties raising them, what would remain for me?nIIrS4
RZia‘And besides getting food at the auction house is not easy either.’8IqCmr
MICtmhIf it were that simple, I myself would have already bought food.qhQRa5f
sI0VIt is a pity, but there is no other option.sbc
b0NoghMEven so, killing it did not make me feel good either.xAGj7W
6RCnIt would be better to return it to nature.CmHy
nlN1V81I made that decision.cTIe8
0zgㄴWildGrills) For now I will return it to nature. I can barely feed myself.mxIZ
DrWㄴDon’t you have a sense of responsibility?0xFK
9ApgEㄴWildGrills) Hey, damn it. Its mother tried to kill me. What responsibility?hHl
5rZ6CQㄴWell, that is also trueWUvGGz
lUUhㄴQuick acceptance haha0Mw
rZLGD0ㄴBuy meat at the auction house. Don’t you have a lot of money, Grills?cWd
wGOWㄴWildGrills) If that were the case I would have already bought it for myselfpNLoNyt
jRExㄴHey;; you have money. Can’t you feed a cub?QmXvzqN
CXvhEJ5ㄴWildGrills) Then why would I have to raise it? Besides, I am saving just in casezN4p
Q4zLtㄴHow much money do you have?tYlw0j
qPhLRLet’s see. How much money did I have?q9DN
HdGTDI4Last time Allfather gave me quite a lot of money, so I was not exactly in trouble.BCH1Q
4cYb3But raising an animal costs a lot of money.MKV
OgspAnd it is not a dog or a cat, it is a huge “bear.”5JfEdjb
4skcE0CEven if it is still a cub, its appetite will not disappear.pasusj
4mdglq5ㄴWildGrills) I have quite a lot, but investing it in this…9hswh
6Sl7ㄴAre you stupid? You could take the owlbear with you as an escort60Ii
3rGd7ㄴWildGrills) What are you talking about?ERttli
Cc9hㄴYou know how strong an owlbear is. When it becomes an adult there is no more reliable bodyguard. Take it with you as if it were your escort knightW2qEo
8uGNjZkㄴThat actually… makes sense!rM9W
DUVitamㄴHonestly, that sounds pretty goodc3rmn
QjYㄴMaybe it really would be better to raise itwMXs4
giPrThat comment was quite convincing.UQHW
KAUN1yTI looked at the owlbear.3hEJ0x
v4x3awWhen this adorable ball of fur grows up, it will become that fierce monster.vksLGBq
qxjBesides, if its appetite can be satisfied, its loyalty will also be very high.2Rp
pNG‘…I also feel a little lonely.’Z8P
8F6Even if I have the gallery, it cannot be compared with interacting with a living being.kwzMpo
eTZpKq5I met the curious gaze of the owlbear.ti3eN
Wod5HFThinking about it, using this guy as an escort does not seem like a bad option either.bhCHAM8
KfGWLIf I ever ran out of money, I could always sell a mandrake or hunt a golden frog.86I
qI8‘But… what does this eat?’5ft
oxdwnBears are omnivores that even eat decomposing corpses.Me2
y1UD4UBut this is an owlbear.DyZ
oHTyTo find out its diet, I wrote in the gallery.92Mqt
VJ9Title) What do owlbears eat?SZ3E3ls
Xj6n9WildGrillsXW0d
zDsdxㄴDon’t they eat everything?elux
v9yㄴLike the one above said. Their diet is basically the same as a bear’s8Ux
YNhTwㄴWildGrills) Do they like honey?GaRgGm
YLlㄴThey love it hahasmo
nfhj7iGood. Then I will try giving it some.pqie
tvqI entered the auction house and searched for honey.wGtQ
TuqMJust in case, I also did not forget to read the reviews carefully.AYkw
SVj9xBApparently, it was an apiary farm with three generations of tradition.YyD
xOpdAnd the proof they showed was quite impressive.7tn
2WkbㄴHow do we know that is real honey?YULsY9
YLdj9Zㄴ(photo of a face swollen from bee stings)g5o
Y4Qzr01ㄴAh… I see;; I will buy two jarsGoI19yk
wVSydㄴThat is convincing proof haharbO
qX7LaVSomething like that.nXZ
Jrd5Thanks to that, I could buy it without hesitation.mVNCA2E
LzK3After buying the honey, I also bought a large spoon.1qeYoxI
BeEPLA wooden spoon.I8mfGiP
sAsgfThen I scooped some honey with the spoon and offered it to the little owlbear.TeHZrT
iHZ“Kyuu?”s9h
upc6“Try it. It is delicious.”boxO
JIFXvad“Sniff. Sniff.”zvyZpX
fv2As if it were the first time seeing honey, the cub was cautious.8Ot
vDqGI felt like every drop of honey falling from the spoon was a waste.aMKKPtb
K3FIZcBut perhaps because its sense of smell was highly developed, it did not take long before it opened its mouth.PqOk
IpX“Nom.”nzYo8
ZEopVmH“Is it tasty?”U55V
S9zGJ“…”hJMT
310tiThe little one who had tasted the honey stayed still for a moment and then—MSGKk
ysW“Kyuuuu!”6m5dm
bkqqob“Huh, huh?”57x1c
WbsE“Kyuaaah!”NEk8
lBgMSAIt began devouring the honey while making strange sounds.YOGA
vsNLUJySurprised, I placed the jar on the ground and stepped back a couple of steps.AE9a8u
CcM“Chap chap chap chap.”n3Hy
0K0c1y“…”jWSk0aU
OA3TcZ1Wow, it really eats with enthusiasm.ALPWYC
ZoyxjIt is also curious to see how such a long tongue comes out of that short beak.lD41uBh
TFUnlAThe little owlbear was completely fascinated by the sweet taste of honey, something it was tasting for the first time.AKki4Zv
CrE1It did not even let me try a bite.9Ro
tmR5MCIf I had known, I would have tasted some first.oCDcW
474XJAnyway, it seems it liked it, so that is fine.Gvi9S
oEqIt will take it some time to finish all of that.MbXTt
6i3lg8S‘What name should I give it?’KTx4ez9
zeBI decided to raise it for my survival and mental stability.O44
GMdPRI have never had pets, but I know that the name is important.0I0BLcH
NyuqM‘It is a fluffy ball of fur… Bokseul?’0opT6CH
QngjiaWas that too improvised?Jn1Eg
obj6KBut there is not really another name that suits it better.aUv
P5viPqAsk the gallery to suggest names.3ezyt1u
7xmPThat does not seem like a good idea.ordR
aj2Surely very strange names would appear.oTvQA
QVwMLFF“Bokseul.”DDdC
3Sy4“Chap chap chap chap!”f91cwt
zr6NUVR“Bokseul?”3RkDC6I
Jdv5z“Chap chap chap!”Nik
FPNRoMaybe it does not hear me because it is busy eating honey?Ht5Abt
GGrjWell, I already decided the name, so with time it will get used to it.kss
CMWBefore that, I will upload a photo.7IW9cH
OiJUI cannot keep something this adorable to myself.Nrl

sEHBefore asking the gallery, it is better that I simply call it Bokseul.eYEc
HHihsBut it seems the gallery does not intend to leave it like that.yGVdZ

fIlwhPaI rubbed my face and let out a sigh.QbSsU2x
VmJPPuWhat the hell is this gallery.jM7ON
KFGW‘Although… the name Wonmo is not that bad, is it?’VGeEu0w
EY65Wonmo.ms4LI0

7VRFHmm.RWLJN

QoEE4b9HeavenlyDemon, Yu Sowol, showed a satisfied smile.ZY5RP
CGdThe name she had proposed, Wonmo, had become the name of the owlbear cub.O3C39
MSArJqThe gallery was already in an uproar asking for more photos of Wonmo to be uploaded.Z9u
mERThat meant Wonmo’s impact was enormous.rCKfk
UAxWhat could be more satisfying than something like that?wwpz8
M9dV‘Even in the gallery it is receiving so much reaction. Surely Grills will also like it.’uelpa4V
