I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

577 – Side Story) First Appearance

ㅡWe have also included a VVVIP ticket inside, so if you are thinking of staying longer, please feel free to use it. In that case, you will be able to use all the most convenient facilities at a price that is close to free.

A golden card in Seong Ji-hoon’s hand.

That is the Free Pass VVVIP ticket.

The effect of this card was really simple.

It was a preferential ticket that allowed immediate boarding of all attractions, as well as use of convenience facilities and snack corners at a discount of more than 90%.

However, since it was a ticket for external VIP guests, the usage period was limited to today.

‘If you’re giving it to me as a consolation, why don’t you give me a new one or give me one that has a day left until it expires…’ … .’

Still, there was no particular problem.

Because I only had time today.

He walked briskly holding this golden card.

ㅡWelcome to the jungle safari tour! Make thrilling memories with your giant animal friends!

The first place Seong Ji-hoon headed to with his VVVIP ticket was the Safari Tour. It was the most popular course at the zoo. The waiting line was as long as an hour.

It was a must-visit course for families as they were able to see not only large herbivores but also violent beasts up close.

“Wow..! “Are you going to see the animals on this giant boobies?”

“that’s right. “You can watch quietly this time, right?”

“Yes, Dad-! “I think it’ll be so much fun!”

Seong Ji-hoon, who holds a VVVIP pass, was able to board the vehicle right away without having to wait long.

“You can’t just reach out or touch someone just because they’re coming close. got it?”

“Yep-! “It’s a shame I can’t touch you, but I’ll listen carefully this time!”

This time, Seong Ji-hoon was in charge of Somi.

Because I didn’t know what kind of unexpected situation would happen again.

Sophia and Jeon So-rim took their seats right in the back.

“Seong Ji-hoon, looking at you like this, do you really think you’re a father?”

“Hehe, isn’t it nice to see you so kind?”

“But it looks like this… … . “There’s something awkward about me.”

“So you don’t like it?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it, but… I feel like he’s not the Seong Ji-hoon I knew.”

“Fuhuhu, you’ll get used to it soon. “In the future, just seeing things like this will make you smile like me”

-Flash! Flash!

Sophia, who was looking at Somi and Seong Ji-hoon, smiles happily and lights up a halo as bright as the sun.

“Oh? Huh, sister? Avoid wearing a halo in crowded places… … !”

“oh? I’m sorry. Stop without even realizing it… … .”

“Whew, I’m glad I’m in the back seat though. “I don’t think anyone noticed.”

Sophia and Jeon So-rim were sitting side by side in the back seat, chatting. We have become more familiar and closer than before.

“If everyone is on board, let’s start the safari tour!”

ㅡBuuung… … !

Soon, the safari bus passes the high iron fence and begins the full-scale tour.

But how long has it been since the tour started?

-Mom? dad? Where are the animals?

ㅡWhat? Why can’t I see anything?

-I wanted to see a lion… … .

-Huh? Everyone hides in the back there and won’t come out?!

Not long after departure, dissatisfied murmurs from the customers began to emerge one by one. For some reason, the animals were not coming close to the vehicle, but instead were outright avoiding it.

“Ahaha… ! Why are these guys like this today? “It’s meal time, but they come without even getting food.”

The zookeeper tried desperately to lure the animals by waving food out the window, but it was in vain.

“Hehehe..! It looks like everyone isn’t feeling well today. Now let’s move on to the next area… !”

A zookeeper stepping on the accelerator while sweating.

He was just embarrassed.

Because it was the first time I had experienced this in the long time I had been doing this.

He couldn’t figure out the reason. It was fine until the previous tour.

“dad? “Why can’t I see the animals?”

“Umm, Somi, that’s it… … .”

On the other hand, the breeder realized it quickly.

Why did the animals hide all at once?

It was for a very simple reason.

It was no different from what happened at the tiger breeding farm.

‘I thought it would be okay if I just hid my presence among people… … . After all, animals are animals. ‘You sensed our presence and went into hiding?’

It was just as Seong Ji-hoon thought.

The lion, the king of beasts.

Lowland gorillas, the strongest primates.

A massive African elephant.

Regardless of weight class, everyone hid in a corner and fell apart.

“Chii… … . It’s completely boring. “Is this all?”

Somi looks out the window and grumbles.

I was the only one who didn’t know the reason.

In response, the breeder deliberately kept quiet.

Because it was a concept that Somi could not understand now.

And just because I told you now, it wasn’t like I could erase the presence at will. Somi still had a long way to go before she could grow to that level.

“Somi? “Then, do you want to go see the herbivores next time?”

“Herbivores? I saw a lot of children like rabbits and chickens at the academy… … .”

“You will be able to meet a variety of animals other than those children. Plus, you can touch it with your own hands there.”

“Ah, really?! Then I want to go right now… … !!!”

*

-The safari tour ended early due to health issues with the animals. We would like to apologize to customers who just participated in the tour and are in the process of issuing refunds… … .

The safari tour ended ahead of schedule amid complaints from guests.

ㅡTurp, trudge… !

Somi, who experienced firsthand that there was nothing to eat at the famous feast, went next… … .

“Kyahaha..♪ Dad? mom? Look at them! so cute-!”

Herbivore experience center.

A place where you can directly interact with small animals.

However, herbivores have a more developed survival instinct than carnivores.

Most of the animals that can be touched, such as rabbits, sheep, and parrots, inside the experience center were also busy hiding from Somi.

But despite this, Somi was able to maintain an innocent smile. That’s right… … .

“Kuruarb … !”

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Capybaras, known for being friendly, came to Somi’s side without fear and comforted Somi’s loneliness. They were even eating the fruits Somi gave them without any problems.

The giant rodents enjoy Somi’s touch with cynical expressions and let out pleasant cries.

‘Phew, if it weren’t for these guys, Somi would have been really disappointed, right?’

Seong Ji-hoon breathes a sigh of relief as he looks at So-mi’s happy face. Not only that, Sofia and Jeon So-rim also looked like they were having a good time.

“Somi, do you like capybaras that much?”

“huh-! My front teeth look like the Ram Rat guy from the Academy! “It seems like the fur is a little stiffer, though.”

“Puh-huh, after listening to it, we do look alike. But when did you ever touch the fur of a ram rat? … ?”

“dad! dad! “Can’t I just take one and raise it?”

I guess I really liked the capybara.

Somi hugs one animal at a time.

The guy looks at Seong Ji-hoon with pitiful eyes.

“Unfortunately, that’s not possible.”

“Eh? Why… … ?”

“It will be difficult for Somi to raise her because she eats so much and has so many things to worry about.”

“But Somi can do a good job… … .”

“It’s not that I don’t trust Somi.”

“Then why not? dad?”

“Think about it for a moment. How lonely would it be to be left alone when your family is here? “What would you think if someone took Somi away from her mom and dad because they thought she was cute?”

“Ummmm… … !?”

Somi looks surprised at the eye level training and slowly nods her head. It’s unfortunate, but when I thought about it in reverse, I guess I understood it at once.

“Somi, shall we let the animals go now and go somewhere else?”

“… different place?”

“okay. “There are a lot of rides here other than the zoo.”

“Rides? That’s it… … ?”

“It’s a bit difficult to explain in words… … . “It would probably be fun just to sit still.”

“Uhm..? “I just heard it in words and didn’t know it at all.”

“Then would you like to try it yourself? “You’ll probably like it.”

“But that… … . “Can I ride with Dad?”

“Of course, right?”

“Okay then! “I want to go for a ride!”

***

“Crackling-♬ Crackling… ♪”

Somi lets out a simple laugh in my arms. As if this was my first experience like this.

“It really feels like riding a horse! “It’s so fun!”

It was like that.

We’re riding a merry-go-round right now.

No matter how much he is a hatchling, he is still a kid.

The speed would only make an adult yawn, but for Somi, it seemed like a roller coaster. Every time the wooden horse shakes, a pleasant sound of laughter flows out.

‘I have to tell Sorim that I’m grateful. I didn’t know Somi would like it this much… … .’

ㅡThe operation of this carousel ends here. The exit you take is… … .

The driving time was shorter than expected, about 3 minutes. It made me wonder what would happen if Somi felt regretful.

Well, it wasn’t a big problem.

You can burn it again right away,

Because there are still a lot of fun things left.

ㅡJump!

“dad? “Let’s get out now!”

“huh? “Somi?”

However, contrary to my expectations, for some reason this guy got off the merry-go-round obediently. I thought you were going to beg me to ride it one more time… … .

“I’m starting to get hungry. “I want to get some rest.”

“Oh, so that was it?”

I did something and there was a reason for everything. Well, after the tiger incident earlier, I wandered around a lot.

“Jihoon~! “Are you all coming out now?”

“It’s a good thing you came to Earth. I never thought our Somi would like it this much… … .”

As I go to the exit, Jeon So-rim and Sophia, who were waiting outside, approach me. Both of them were holding something with their hands full.

“Shaolin, what is that?”

“I came all this way to have fun, so I can’t miss snacks. “Everyone take one.”

ㅡUgh… !

With those words, Jeon So-rim holds out something wrapped in paper. What she gave us was none other than… … .

[Churros – ✮★★★]

[A snack made by frying a long piece of dough like a donut. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. The dough with a twist adds to the chewy taste. Cinnamon powder and sugar sprinkled on the outside add even more depth to the taste.]

A snack you miss when you’re at an amusement park.

Churros are similar to Western-style twists.

Steam rises from the long, spiral-shaped churros.

It looked like it had just been fried. If you take a bite, it will crunch and sound delicious.

“Waaah-! I was already hungry! Aunt Shaolin is the best… … !”

“Hehe, I knew that would happen. “We were laughing and talking so much, but I couldn’t help but feel hungry.”

“I will eat well~!”

Was it because of hunger?

Somi eagerly accepts the snack she has never seen before.

The guy opens his mouth wide at the churros.

I don’t know what it was, but it must have looked delicious just by looking at it.

ㅡCrash, crunch!

Somi bites into the center of the freshly fried churros. Putting a lot of brown sugar and cinnamon powder around your lips.

He greedily chewed a mouthful and swallowed it… … .

ㅡWhaaah!!!!

Suddenly something unexpected happens.

“Huh, Somi?”

“Well, what is that…” … ?”

“honey? The light comes from our Somi—!?”

It was just as Sophia said.

Light radiates around Somi.

A halo that looks exactly like his mother.

So, Somi was the first person to manifest magical power in her life.
