I Became the Companion of the Gods

chapter 24



24 – EP.8 My pets are obsessed -1

On the way back home after individual training and joint training.

As always, I was walking side by side with my pets watching the sunset.

“Ugh, I didn’t expect training to be this hard…… That kind of training remains and continues, those seniors.”

“It can’t be helped. They’ve already gone through several training sessions, and today was my first training session.”

“You mean the basic roots are different.”

“Still, Seo Bang-nim’s training was also wonderful!”

“Quit!”

“Yeah, thank you both.”

But for some reason, I wanted to hear criticism rather than praise now.

Maybe it’s because my pets are so overwhelming.

The weak who are praised by the strongest.

I think it can’t be helped that I don’t feel good even when I get praised because it was like creasing in front of a chrysalis.

“Um… ?”

As I happened to pass by an electric signboard, I suddenly noticed an interesting advertisement and naturally turned around.

On the screen on the electronic display board, an advertisement was playing in which children were playing with fluffy-looking animals.

Even though I knew it was an exaggerated video, I was envious of the children on the screen.

As expected, what I need is more than praise, it seems that I need healing and peace of mind……

“… What?!”

A soft tail that suddenly wraps itself around the neck.

This texture…… It was Miho’s tail.

“Why do you look so envious when you see an ad like that? You didn’t think it would be nice to have an animal like that, did you?”

“That… ….”

“Seobang-nim has always liked animals that look fluffy, right? Then isn’t it enough just for me?”

“Well? I guess you like my soft feathers more than the fur of stinky beasts.”

“Get rid of the bird head!”

“Mi, Miho! This! Keek!!”

Release the power of your tail!

I can’t breathe… ! I die… ! Die!!

“Don’t like it? Are you going to stick with Nang-gun like this?”

“This wormy bird year… !!”

Two pets trying to fight over me again.

Please stop fighting.

I know they both like me, but do they know how exhausting it is to fight like this every time and have to intervene each time?

I can’t help it if they keep going like this.

If I don’t properly scold myself this time…… !

“Stop!! Stop fighting, both of you!”

I forcibly removed the sticking Yata and pressed the sensitive part of Miho’s tail wrapped around his neck to free it.

After that, I screamed loudly to vent all the resentment I had accumulated over the years at them.

“Do you know how hard it is for me whenever you guys fight? Even if it’s not, I’m really tired from training today! Are you going to make me more tired by fighting under these circumstances?”

“Ah… !”

It’s the first time you’ve seen me so angry, so you’re probably bewildered…….

“I can’t stand it anymore! I will live by ignoring you guys for the time being in the sense that you guys should deeply reflect on yourself!!”

“Uh, uh… ?! A future like this didn’t exist in your foreknowledge?”

But Yata, who sees the future, has already predicted my actions…… What?

There was no future like this?

When I saw Yata’s genuinely embarrassed face, I was rather embarrassed on my side.

Until now, Yata, who has never failed in his prediction and foresaw even the future that would change, could not have foreseen it?

I don’t know how to react to this unexpected situation for the first time, but looking back, the current situation was very good for me.

Yata’s side of her that she always believed in betrayed her.

This is a great opportunity to properly punish Yata, who has always been proud of knowing the future.

“There is no turning back! I will ignore you two for a while, so I know that!!”

After spitting out everything I wanted to say, my insides went blank, while

My pets were surprised at my anger, as well as Miho and Yata, as well as the innocent Tia.

That, was it that shocking?

Ummm, should I be satisfied that I let them know that I know how to be this angry anyway?

“Whew.”

I think I gave an appropriate shock, so now I hope the two pets will understand my feelings.

It’s greed to want the two of them to get along, so I hope that the frequency of fighting between the two of them will at least decrease a bit…….

***

-Knock! Knock!

A light knock on my door.

I immediately knew who was knocking.

“Seobang? May I come in for a moment?”

“… ….”

I expressed my rejection intention indirectly through words.

Since I said I would ignore them, I intend to completely ignore them.

“…… Sorry! I really did wrong by fighting without thinking about Seo-Bang-sama’s feelings!!”

Miho begins to confess alone outside the door.

I can feel the trembling and sadness in her voice, and I feel that she is sincerely reflecting.

But I still have no intention of forgiving her.

Punishment is punishment. If she forgives her easily, the same thing will happen again.

– Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Ugh?!”

“Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!!”

The sound of something hitting the wall hard.

Anyway, Miho seems to be apologizing by banging her head against the wall.

“I will never do that again! I won’t fight in front of the West again! Please take a look!!”

…… No! Don’t look I don’t want to see get back soon

I don’t say anything, but my thoughts are unchangingly firm.

“Please! I’ll do anything to be forgiven!! So please… !! As far as ignoring me… !!”

Ugh… My heart starts to weaken when I apologize so earnestly.

Should I forgive?

“Come to think of it, I’ve seen Miho’s memories before…”

When he saw Miho’s memories in a dream with the power of the divine beast Kirin. There were facts to be found out.

For my safety, Miho gave up her own happiness and erased her own existence.

She has been with me for 20 years, but she had to spend 20 years without receiving anything in return from me.

She is a pet fox who has always been by my side and only looked at me, but now she is able to reveal her own existence.

She is now able to receive favor and love from me.

Now that the years of patience have been rewarded as much as the long past, it will be sweeter and happier than ever.

However, Miho, who was enjoying such happiness, was in danger of being ignored by me again.

To put it mildly, a child who is happy to receive a gift from her parents, but is destined to have that happiness taken away from her again.

That’s why Miho has been crying and apologizing so much, and her behavior of ignoring her like that is revealing her painful past again.

“It would be wrong to continue ignoring Miho like this.”

When I opened the door and came out, Miho was sitting on the floor with her face covered in tears.

A truly heartbreaking sight for her companion.

When I had no choice but to stroke her hair lightly, her despair-filled expression returned to life, albeit a little.

I was a little relieved.

“Seobang… !”

But the favor ends here.

Although her Miho is sincerely reflecting on her, it was still necessary to treat her coldly in order to completely correct her mistakes.

That’s why I decided not to do anything more than this.

“Ah… ….”

After finishing the act of stroking her hair, I neglect Miho again and pass by coldly.

I’m sorry, Miho.

It is only with Miho, who finally hangs his head, and is devastated.

…… I’m really sorry.

Still, as for me, I want her to take the time to think about her own mistakes once more.

“Ah! I was waiting for you! Nanggun!”

Is it Yata this time?

The kitchen came to replenish moisture in my burning throat.

There, Yata, whom I knew would come, was sitting on a chair at the table.

“Hey, I’m trying to apologize because I seem to have caused quite a nuisance to Nanggun this time… ….”

Unfortunately, there is no discrimination.

I tried to drink water, which was my original purpose, pretending not to hear what Yata was saying.

“Sorry!! Because I only cared about our feelings, I couldn’t fathom my feelings! I’m really sorry!!”

“… ….”

I just sip water and drink without even giving Yata a look at Yata, who has been apologizing while lowering her head.

“As expected, you are very angry…… I’m sorry you didn’t want to see the fight between me and the fox.”

Perhaps he didn’t want to show his sullen expression, Yata turned away from me.

Befitting a wise Yata, I feel like I’m stepping back coolly, knowing that there’s no way I’ll ever forgive them……

Still, as if my actions made her sad, she drooped her shoulders like a puppy soaked in the rain.

“I’ll wait and reflect until my anger is resolved. So if you feel better later, talk to me again. I’m really sorry, Nang-kun…….”

Yata leaves with a sincere apology until the end.

She was usually mischievous. Yata was so serious that I wondered if she was the right person, but she was crying.

“I’m sorry too, Yata.”

I don’t know much about Yata yet.

The only information she knows about her is that her Yata saw that her future I will make her happy.

I can’t even imagine what kind of future that future will be.

Still, I could see that the future with me was very happy in that she liked me and devoted herself so much.

“But has that future become uncertain because of this incident?”

Yata is a very sensible Crow Goddess.

The reason why he fights without hesitation even though he knows that fighting Miho is only loss is because he has to do it, and because there is a happy future that will not change.

But this time, even Yata couldn’t foresee it.

If her future to be happy disappeared because of this one incident, it would be fatal for her Yata.

“It’s just my stupid guess.”

Still, I thought it was a credible hypothesis given that Yata, who was so mischievous, apologized without her laughter.

“Haa, it’s complicated in many ways… ….”

She is a fox who has come to love me since she was born, sharing countless memories with me.

A crow who fell in love with me after seeing my future.

Attractive pets that no one wants to give up.

But those two always fight and cause trouble because they want to get even a little more love from me.

If you look at the surface like this, you might think that there is a problem with the two fighting because of me.

But I know that my problem is bigger than their problem.

That would be true, too, because it was over when I chose one of the two and gave up on one.

However, my greed that I couldn’t give up on both of them brought about the current situation.

“What could have been better… ?”

I don’t want to give up on the two.

But I don’t want to see them fight because of me.

I hate myself for not being able to come up with a good solution while not giving up my greed like this until the end.

“I really hate it… ….”
