The next morning, Sylvia woke up with a savory and sweet smell. When she opened her eyes, Sevis was not by her side, and only an empty seat greeted her. From the savory smell that filled the 1.5-room house, it seemed like he was earnestly making breakfast.

“Sevis, are you making breakfast?”
“Yes! Wait a little bit, Miss Sylvia!”

Sevis replied cheerfully in the kitchen. She got out of bed, went to the dressing table, and examined her face with a mirror.

‘Wow, I look like a frog.’

Sylvia cried so hard yesterday that her eyes were swollen as if she had a sty. Rubbing her eyes, she wiped the goop from around her eyes and tidied her blanket and mattress. Then, she tilted his head.

No wonder! She finally slept with Sevis in the same bed yesterday, so it would be weird if she didn’t sleep well. Except for when she was in the middle of her sleep and she had to bang on the wall and angrily say, ‘Be quiet for a moment, do you think you’re the only one living in this small house!’ because the ghost in the bathroom was crying, she had a completely good night’s sleep.

Of course, she could be dragged into hell by the deliberative compliance law of the R-rated game if she did some unspeakable things to Sevis when he isn’t even an adult… So, she wasn’t supposed to do naughty things, but it was fine to have a wild imagination that didn’t get caught by the law, so it was a strange thing. She tilted her head and suddenly recalled the message she had seen when she was in a bad mood yesterday.

‘Ah, that’s right. It’s because the quest failure gave me a feeling of reverence.’

She forgot because she only glanced at it in despair, but Sylvia had failed a quest for the first time yesterday since she was possessed by the game. That was why she didn’t even think about it, because the debuff had the effect of a reverent heart.

‘But even if it didn’t have such an effect, it wouldn’t have been a situation to think naughty things anyway.’

Sylvia said this many times; since she was a pervert with common sense, she knew how to read the atmosphere. If she had naughty thoughts in such a situation yesterday, she would have been a complete pervert. She cleared her thoughts, stretched, and approached the window.

‘The weather is nice today. That’s a relief. I have to go on the shrimp-catching boat, so if it was raining, I would be shooting The Old Man and the Sea.’

She walked over the curtains made by modifying the ragged clothes and watched the scenery outside of the house. While she watched the weather at a leisurely pace, she rubbed her eyes for a moment and opened them wide. The front garden, where weeds would have been abundant, was tidy. Did Sevis clean up the front garden?

“Sevis! When did you clean the front garden?”
“What? Ahh. Remember I said I cleaned it yesterday? What was growing in the garden looked like weeds, but they were actually useful plants. From what I picked, I sold what wasn’t going to be eaten at the market and stored what was left in the refrigerator. So, that’s why! Today’s breakfast menu is mugwort soup…”
“Wow!”

‘That’s right. Sevis said he was digging up mugwort in the front garden yesterday. Mugwort, that’s not bad!’

Sylvia cheered a little as she thought about the fresh mugwort. Sevis continued talking from the kitchen.

“… As an appetizer, and there is also mugwort pizza, mugwort salad, and mugwort risotto! The dessert is mugwort pudding and mugwort tea.”
“Wow… That’s really… It looks like a healthy menu just by listening to it.”

Just one of them would have been nice, but the freshness was excessive. It was awful to have a complete mugwort party. Sylvia was going to complain about the side dishes for a moment, but she held back and responded powerlessly. Come to think of it, didn’t she spend a lot of money at once yesterday? It was clear that Sevis had held a feast with the mugwort in front of the house because of that. If she hadn’t spent the money on nonsense, she would have had a piece of meat on her table, which was sad.

‘Well, what’s not to say? I have to put up with the mugwort party.’

Sylvia’s shoulders drooped as she hung a towel around her neck and headed to the bathroom to wash up.

“Isn’t that right? I think we’ll be healthier when we finish everything. Miss Sylvia, wash up quickly, and let’s eat. We have to eat quickly to go meet the shrimp boat captain.”
“Yeah… We should do that…”

Sylvia walked to the bathroom helplessly, performed an exorcism ritual for a minute, and turned on the shower. Sevis, who noticed that Sylvia was feeling uneasy because of the ghost that cried every night, went to the market and got a red bean pouch and a cheap cross and put them on the bathroom shelf.

She took the cross, waved it around, and scattered the red beans. After taking a shower, she had a rough mugwort breakfast and left the house with Sevis and Limbo. She had intended to leave Limbo at the pet hotel for a while and not take it to the boat. As she left the house while holding Limbo’s reins, Sevis spoke to her with a dark expression.

“Miss Sylvia, I heard you’re leaving Limbo at the pet hotel. You could also find a pet motel. Or how about an inn? If you don’t like those, you can get a discount at an animal goshiwon if you work as a manager…”
“Sevis, Limbo is our family. We can’t leave it in an inn. Ugh… I want to save money too, but we’re going to make a lot of money in the shrimp-catching boat this time, so let Limbo stay in a good place as a human being. It’s a foreign horse… I’m sorry.”

When she apologized with a dispirited face, Sevis flinched. He bit his lips for a moment, ruffled his hair, and sighed.

“Aah… I’m sorry, Miss Sylvia. I didn’t even realize…”
“No. It is time to buckle up. I fully understand. I… I just don’t want to give our cherished Limbo a hard time.”

Sylvia blurted out and then shut her mouth.
Seeing her darkened expression, Sevis rubbed the back of his neck and looked sorry. It wasn’t that she didn’t understand how he was feeling. Sevis’ tone of voice was like that. Since a few nights and a few days would pass by quickly anyway, so it was the same whether it was an inn or a hotel, and since the owner was struggling, Limbo had to know the bitterness of the world. But how could she leave an animal that didn’t speak at an inn?

While Sylvia and Sevis were awkwardly remaining silent, Limbo struck the reins that Sylvia was holding with its head. Then, it opened the handle of the door with its mouth and ran into the house.

“Sevis, what’s wrong with Limbo?”
“I think it’s scared of going to an inn. Limbo! It’s not like that! We’re taking you to a hotel!”

When Sevis and Sylvia entered the room with worried faces, Limbo was pushing the Evi*n bottled water box with its bottom. Limbo whimpered and put the box of bottled water in front of itself, then patted the box with its horseshoe. Sylvia, who was tilting her head in ignorance, uttered a thought she had at first glance.

“Are you… telling us to sell this?”
“Neigh!”

Limbo nodded intently at her words, and Sylvia was startled. She soon put her hands together on her chest with wide-open eyes. Yesterday, she thought that the penny pincher Sevis would be angry, so she was moved that he comforted her warmly, and today, she was once again overwhelmed when Limbo generously gave away its own things.

Thinking that the 30 days of the game weren’t a waste of time, a smile blossomed on her face. Since she cried yesterday and laughed today, she wondered if she would get horns on her butt.
(T/N: An expression used to make fun of someone who laughs while crying.)

“Ah… Limbo.”
“Neigh!”

Limbo couldn’t speak, so it approached her as she was on the verge of tears and patted her back with its hoof, as if telling her not to cry. Then, it dragged the toys and horse cushions gifted by the temple with its mouth. How could an animal that couldn’t even speak do such a beautiful action? Sylvia smiled, wiping the tears with her hands.

“Thank you, Limbo. Now I can go without worrying!”
“Neigh!”
“I’ll leave the things you sacrificed in the pawn shop and bring them back for sure, Limbo. So eat breakfast and order a lot of room service at the hotel until we return! We’ll come back rich, so don’t worry.”

Sylvia said as she stroked its mane, and Limbo patted the floor with its hooves as if telling her not to worry.
Whether he was impressed, Sevis raised his thumb to Limbo without saying anything. It seemed to be some kind of signal unique to beast men.

Sylvia and Sevis put the horse supplies on a cart and hung it on Limbo’s body. Then, they went to a pawn shop located at the entrance of the traditional market with turbo driving, left the goods, and got paid.

A whopping 100,000 gold. It was a pocket of money that she was touching for the first time since she was possessed by the game. She got a chill down her back for a moment when she thought that if the temple hadn’t offered to pay for the maintenance fees, she really would have become horse-poor and living on the streets.

‘I got 100,000 gold just from selling a few of them, so how much would the rest of the supplies be worth? If I took everything and sold it, it would be huge… No! I can’t have bad thoughts like this. What is Limbo’s is Limbo’s, and what is mine is mine.’

Sylvia had a bad thought for a moment, then shook her head. She shouldn’t be ungrateful.

Coming out of the pawnshop, they passed the market and went to the main street area. Thanks to the huge amount of money they had never thought of, they were able to leave Limbo in a seven-star animal hotel in the middle of the village without worry.

Then, they walked diligently again. Since it was a village surrounded by the sea on three sides, they were able to reach the port after walking for a long time, as if they were doing a walking marathon to the other side of the sea they frequently visited.

Sevis was looking around for the shrimp boat when he let out an exclamation and called out to Sylvia.

“Miss Sylvia! I found the shrimp boat.”
“Where?”
