Chapter 262: Where the Spirit Beast Went (6)
Something round appeared between the bushes, then quickly vanished.
A mottled pattern flashed into view for a moment before disappearing right in front of the trio’s eyes.
– Kkiit! 『It’s gone!』
Just as Hongdan shouted that it had disappeared, the three of them were about to dash through the grass toward where the round object had vanished.
Then, something their dad had said to Bini and the others gently resurfaced in Bini’s mind.
“There’s a spirit beast nearby that looks like a seogwa, so be careful, okay? Right now, Moji and Soji are making cocoons, remember? You kids might be fine since you’re not humans, but since you live with Dad, you might smell like a person. That beast once fought with a human, so you really have to be careful.”
That warning about a spirit beast nearby that resembled a seogwa.
Could that thing just now have been that one? Bini tried to picture a seogwa in her mind.
A seogwa was a red fruit with spiky bumps, the kind Dad used to eat while spitting out the seeds. The kind that dripped juice.
But the thing that flashed past just now had only been round in shape.
No matter how hard she thought about it, it didn’t look anything like a seogwa. So Bini started moving again.
It just couldn’t be a seogwa, no matter how she looked at it.
