I Became the Companion of the Gods

4 – EP.1 I became a companion -4 (modified version)

Peaceful morning.

It’s time to announce the beginning of a refreshing routine, but I couldn’t.

“Joe, it’s narrow… !”

I definitely remember that before I went to sleep, I slept in my bed and gave way to my two pets.

…… But why are they both clinging to my side?

The two pets hugging my arms like pillows.

I couldn’t wake him up because he was sleeping so peacefully.

Even so, I couldn’t stay like this all the time.

At least, I tried to get out somehow by gently pulling the arm on the side of the smaller dragon.

“Seobang-nim, let’s sleep together some more~”

However, they were stopped on the way by Miho’s fluffy fox tail.

“No, I have to wake up now.”

“Even though I can sleep hugging my tail as much as I want… ?”

Go back to your bed. I hugged the fox’s tail wagging in front of me. Close your eyes to finish.

Real fox fur, not my mother’s faux fur coat.

At that soft touch, my body melted away and I was drowsy.

It was a trap that I absolutely couldn’t stand.

***

“Did someone who usually wakes up oversleep for some reason?”

Eventually, she was forced to wake up by her younger sister on her way to school.

In addition, Miho and Dragon, who wake up together, are also accompanying them.

Of course, no one can see the two of them.

“One of the dreams I always wished for is right in front of me, how can I put up with it?”

“Dream… ? What, did you even dream of having a pet?”

It’s a dream to have a companion animal…. Well, everything that happened yesterday seemed like a dream.

It would have been nice if this situation I was in was also a dream.

“It’s nothing, just let it go in one ear as if you were talking nonsense.”

It’s good that a cute baby lizard and a beautiful fox have pets.

The only problem is that they are not ordinary lizards and foxes, but divine dragons and nine-tailed foxes.

Because of their existence, I was suddenly placed in a situation where my life was threatened by other divine beasts.

To Shinsoo, who is synonymous with the human slayer.

“Do you know that my brother has been acting strangely since he came home yesterday? Don’t you suddenly scream while talking to yourself in the room, and when you wake up in the morning, why aren’t you sleeping like a mummy?”

I didn’t have any hallucinations about me, so it seemed like I was talking to myself.

You have to be careful with that.

I turned around to inform Miho, who was following me, of this caution.

But she was busy having a heated discussion with the baby dragon.

“You know? No matter what anyone says, I’m Seo-Bang’s first pet! This fact does not change!”

“Quit! Kwyi!”

“Because you were the one who loved me first, are you the best? I can’t admit that!”

“Kyuyi!!”

A fight between kids that makes you wonder if you’re really good at it.

I don’t think I need to get involved in that fight. I decided to leave it alone.

“Brother? What are you thinking about so intently?”

“I wonder if the days without pets were good too.”

“What are you saying, it’s still the case with no pets.”

“hahahaha, stupid b*tch who doesn’t know anything.”

Her little sister’s provocation that would have been hot if it was yesterday’s me. But now, I was able to move on.

Because I knew I had a pet.

“Are you going to war with me now? Seobang-sama’s number one pet?”

“Kyuyi!!”

Her sister’s teasing made her immune, but instead she was heartbroken to see her pet fighting hard.

It’s okay if it’s an ordinary animal, but they’re divine. Wouldn’t the surrounding area be blown away while fighting and fighting?

Those thoughts turn into worries and make me restless.

It was a morning in which ordinary things could no longer be found.

***

Today I went to school normally without going to the back mountain.

Personally, after going through yesterday’s commotion, I didn’t feel like going to the mountains.

In addition, I think that the back mountain is controlled by government agencies anyway.

It is clear from the fact that the neighborhood has been noisy since the morning, and the word “Agent” Comes out of the mouth of the residents from time to time.

It was difficult to face the agent. It’s not like I committed a crime. I just accidentally picked up an egg.

However, that fact alone made it difficult to face the agent.

Maybe they think of me as one of the terrorists.

That’s why I went to school as quietly as I do now.

“Huh~!!”

Even so, the classes are boring.

Schools these days do not teach students, but rather teach them to compete.

There is no interesting content, just a way to amplify the sentences in the textbook, and there is no nutritional value.

I had no choice but to open my notebook to pass the boring time quickly.

Then he scribbles the words on it piece by piece.

“What are you doing?”

[Nothing special.]

I responded in writing to Miho’s voice coming from behind.

I can’t help but worry about the conversation I had with my sister this morning.

Even if you don’t, you’re being treated as an invisible person in class, but if you even talk to yourself here…….

Won’t the people around you see you as a crazy guy with no friends?

[Name it.]

“Your name? Oh, is this dragon’s name by any chance?”

[Yes.]

“What is it?”

A baby dragon climbs onto the desk, enticed by the word his name.

I was looking closely at my notebook I was scribbling on.

As if he understood everything I wrote even though he was young.

[Do you have a favorite name?]

“Kwyi… ….”

After looking over all the names written in the notebook, the baby dragon made a sullen expression and lowered its tail.

Unfortunately, my poor naming sense seems to have let the baby dragon down.

I should have done something creative before…….

This is an unavoidable result.

“Seobang, if you don’t mind, can I give you an opinion?”

[Please.]

“A long time ago, I remembered the name of a famous dragon in the world of divine waters. Do you know Tiamat?”

[No, this is the first time I’ve heard of it. Anyway so? Are you trying to name it Tiamat?]

“No, I think it is a very heavy name for a newborn child. So how about ‘Tia’ by taking off the front part?”

[Oh?]

There was no superfluity in pronunciation, and the name has its own origin.

As for me, it was a name I wanted to adopt right away, but I don’t know how it will be accepted by a baby dragon.

“Quit!”

A baby dragon who gladly accepts it right away. It seems my worries were for naught.

[Okay, from today your name is Tia.]

“Quayit!”

I wonder if he was very happy to have a name. Tia immediately rubbed her face against my cheek, giving off her delight.

I think you did a really good job naming it.

Thanks to Tia’s aegyo of joy, I became happy as well.

“Huh?”

For a while, I suddenly felt a small foreign body sensation in the back of my head.

I wanted something, and when I touched it, there was a small note attached to it, so I took it off right away.

After that, when I opened the note without hesitation, it said, ‘Why are you here today? Sick?’ It was written

After confirming the contents, I finally heard the sound of ridicule from behind me.

A common joke among teenagers. As a person who has been discriminated against for 20 years, this was also a common daily life.

I also tried to just laugh and pass it over, but I forgot and overlooked one fact.

That there was a presence nearby that drove the man who had injured me the day before to his death…….

It was only after I saw my note and a fox suddenly running behind me that I realized it.

Ah, it’s too late…….

-Quaang!

“Are you crazy? How dare you do such an obscene thing to the West in front of me?”

-Quaang! Quaang!!

“Kyaaah!!”

“What, what?! What the hell is going on?”

My pet’s act of retaliation causes screams and terrified sounds to erupt from everywhere.

Otherwise, Miho grabbed the ringleader by the hair and continued to slap it on the desk.

“It’s dizzy….”

Why did I forget? The fact that my pet fox is scary.

If there is something I avoid, she becomes infinitely cruel and does not hesitate to do anything.

Still, I felt refreshed to the point that I thought about letting it go for a while.

But if left unattended, her life might be in danger. You have to stop Miho on the right line.

“Kyaheung?!”

[Do it in moderation. People around you are afraid that it is a supernatural phenomenon.]

“Yes, yes… !! That, more than that, the West? If you suddenly grab my tail so strongly…….”

[No?]

“I think I’m going to go into heat… ♡”

[Sorry!]

I immediately let go of my tail at that word. Maybe it was me who was in danger, not them…….

It’s a natural idea, but it’s very dangerous to do lewd things in school.

People can only see me. But me and Miho are doing dirty things. Are you telling people around you?

You will definitely want to commit suicide. Maybe the school rooftop will be the end of my life…….

“Quit! Kwyit!!”

[Tia, you should stop too.]

Meanwhile, Tia was patting her stunned student on the head as if she wouldn’t forgive herself either.

She’s cute enough to keep looking at, but I want the baby dragon to remain a good kid.

[Both calm down for now.]

It is true that I am in a position to be discriminated against, but that doesn’t mean I am bullied every day.

Nine out of 10 are usually treated as invisible. It’s just a pity that there was a guy who tried to bully me today.

But since I’ve dealt with that guy, he won’t bother me.

I thought so.

“Aagh!!”

“Keah!”

“Keuk… !!”

But it didn’t take long to realize that it was a complacency.

It seems that the academic stress the children have received is greater than expected.

Even the guys I usually ignored were getting impatient because they couldn’t bother me.

And all of them suffered bloody retribution from Miho.

To take a few examples…….

Put your legs out while passing by.

-Kwajik!

“Ahhh… !!”

Miho’s trampled her legs, and she was carried away.

Next, stick a post-it on your back.

-Flame!

“Oh! Hot!!”

Miho burned it before sticking it on, causing second degree burns on the guy he was trying to stick on.

Then, intentionally spraying water while faking a mistake.

-Kudangtang!

“Aww?!”

As I was coming to spray it, I was kicked in the shin by Miho and rolled across the desk.

Other things like putting a chalkboard eraser between doors, stealing textbooks, scribbling on my desk, etc.

I tried to harass me in different ways, but all of them broke mercilessly.

If these things are happening in succession, you might be suspicious at least once, but do you have no learning ability?

Everyone approaches me with useless mischief.

“There are so many baby bugs to deal with today.”

“That, that’s right.”

The punishment was so thorough that Miho’s face was stained with blood.

The health room was already full, and some students were taken to the hospital.

But the problem was that it was finally lunch time.

Still, about half of the students in my classroom were away.

If this happens from the afternoon to the other students, I wonder if it will be the greatest catastrophe in school history.

“It’s already lunchtime. Let’s have dinner together, sir.”

“Before that, I have a question I want to ask you for a while… ….”

“Please tell me anything but no reservations!”

“How have you been enduring the bullying I’ve been through?”

After seeing Miho’s behavior without even a hint of mercy, I couldn’t imagine her patience.

“What can I do? She had to bite her lip until it bled and watch her shed tears of blood.”

“It must have been quite a chore to watch.”

“Yes…. But right now, I’m incredibly happy! Do you feel thrilled to think that you can catch all the bastards who made you suffer?”

Even I get tingling and chills. A fox like this is my pet… I don’t know if she will take care of it.

“Although it was delayed a lot, these bastards made you suffer. I will definitely get rid of them all.”

Miho clenched her teeth while making a loud noise. Her resentment was deeper than I expected.

Hagi, I get angry when the person I like gets bullied and cries and even gets hurt.

But how much resentment must there have been in her heart after watching it for 20 years?

If a woman harbors resentment, she will be so big that it is not for nothing that it is said that there will be frost even in the month of May.

“Calm down. I’m fine, so why don’t you just stay by my side? “

“Do you mean to ask me to stay by your side for as long as I couldn’t stay by your side?”

“Huh? Hmmm, if I had to ask, it could mean something like that….”

“…… Okay, I’ll follow your words!”

Miho lightly leans on my shoulder and presses his face.

A lot of her sorrow and loveliness came out from her actions.

She is such a beautiful woman that makes her heart beat at times like this…….

What if there were no rules for divine beasts?

If Miho had been by my side from the beginning, would I have only seen such a beautiful figure of Miho all along?

Not bad. But for some reason, she felt a little bit sorry for the fox who had lost her madness.

Have I finally gone mad?

“I can’t help it.”

“Are you stroking my hair too? Please stroke it as gently as you like.”

As long as Miho is her pet, it was the right thing for her to accept her as her pet.

She learned that the most ideal companion is to always be by her side, caring and understanding.

“I’ll do my best to clean up for you this afternoon too! If you don’t exterminate all the pests, you won’t be able to be at peace either! Right?”

Ah, I ate this. Even if I wanted to understand the behavior of my pet fox, I couldn’t.

As expected, the posture of an ideal partner seems to be a difficult task for me.

“Haa… ….”

“Kwyi!”

Meanwhile, Miho is busy exacting her bloody revenge.

My other pet was, oddly enough, playing quietly on my desk.

Perhaps it’s because he was born not too long ago, everything around him seems to arouse curiosity.

[Tia, are you happy?]

“Kyuwoo!”

Seeing Tia happily playing with a single eraser brought peace to her heart.

If Miho is spicy, Tia is mild.

I don’t think there’s anything more comfortable than stroking a cute baby dragon’s head.

“Quit!”

[I’ll show you something?]

“Kwyi! Kwyit!!”

Tia drew attention by saying, “Look well.”

Even after wagging her tail from side to side like a puppy, she soon hits the desk with her tail several times.

I didn’t know the meaning of the action, but I stroked her hair because it was cute.

“Quit!”

Tia stretches out her chest and assumes a strong posture.

So I tried to answer by writing in a notebook that I was cool.

However.

-Kudangtang!

“Ah… ?”

My desk split in half and collapsed.

“Kwyi!”

Yes. This cute kid was also a problem.

“What are you doing? Oh! West’s desk! Who did this… ! I will tear you limb from limb right now!”

“What?!”

The behavior of the two companion animals is getting more and more distracting.

Destructive acts of companion animals that eat away at the spirit even more than when they were bullied.

It is the Shinsoo who creates the problem, but why is it me who suffers?

Even if you ask the question over and over again, there is only one answer.

It must be because I am the companion of divine beasts.

***

The crazy day is coming to an end. And I decided never to come back to school again.

If it was because there was no reason to come before, now there is a reason not to come.

Today alone, many students have become patients and numerous school property has been damaged.

All achievements are achieved by pets, and I take all the guilt.

It’s absurd. So I just decided not to come.

“I am proud! I was finally able to exterminate the pests that had plagued you so far!”

“Kyum! Kwyit!!”

The parties in question were proud of it.

This is how I can keep my mind from going into a stupor.

“I’m looking forward to how you will punish me tomorrow!”

“Kwyi!”

When I get home, I’ll see if there’s another mountain I can go to.

Because you can’t release an uncontrollable pet into society.

“Ah, Mr. Seo? Are you thinking of going home like this?”

“Why? Could it be that there is someone I need to retaliate with before I go back?”

“No, since there is so much garbage, I decided to take it slow.”

“Then what is it about?”

“Indeed, there are a lot of strangers at Seo-Bang’s house.”

“…… Are they terrorists?”

Miho shook her head and said no.

Thanks to that, I was able to calm my anxious mind.

“They are related to the woman rescued yesterday. Perhaps he came to retrieve Tia?”

“I never thought you would find me so soon… ….”

I remember that there was no known information except for the face that was slightly visible to the woman.

But how did you find it already?

“What are you going to do?”

“I have to go back. I have my precious family at home, and it would be reckless to run against government agencies.”

There is no possibility of escape.

It’s enough to use Miho’s ability.

However, there is no reason to run away, and if everything is exposed, you should turn it into an opportunity.

If you tell it as it is, it may be protected by the government.

A reliable helper is indispensable to me, who doesn’t know when I might be attacked by other divine beasts.

It would be unreasonable to ask Shinsoo to protect him, but he must receive as much help as possible from the government.

“What are you planning to do when you go back?”

“First of all, I will tell you everything about Tia, and I will try to protect her as much as possible.”

I suddenly became a bastard who tried to use the central institution of the country, but what can I do?

I am also a citizen who should be protected by them.

“If you don’t have to worry too much, I can protect you enough.”

“Kwyi!”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you guys. I want to make at least one more person to help me in case of emergency.”

Even if they are divine beasts, they are my pets, and I am worried about the same thing.

Would my pets get hurt because of me?

As much as I feel like this, it is my feeling that I want to reduce their risk.

That’s why I plan to use the government or anything else that I can use.

“I’m back!”

Let’s talk nicely and get cooperation.

“Sun, ship owner! Government agents!!”

“Because I already knew. Don’t worry, um…… ?”

…… What? Have my eyes gone crazy?

“Hoo-wook… ! Whoop… !”

“Come! Finally here… !!”

People holding out boa constrictors instead of ropes toward me and repeating rapid inhalation and exhalation.

It looks like…….

“Didn’t I call you an agent before?”

“Yes, I did.”

“But, no matter how you look at it, aren’t they perverts trying to kidnap you?”

“It definitely looks like a kidnapper.”

“I’m really going crazy!! Why are you only doing this to me… !!”

Feeling that something was wrong, my body naturally took a step back.

However, a similar type of person appears from behind and blocks my retreat.

It is truly a dilemma.

“Whoops…! Whoops…!”

“Stop, stop…… !!”

The government protection I had hoped for was replaced by kidnapping.
