Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

A black body with a red hue in a smooth gradient.

Its shiny shell had countless segments spaced at regular intervals, and the creature’s most distinct feature — its numerous legs — were neatly aligned along each segment.

And finally, the last charming point — the many-jointed antennae.

That little guy was holding onto a cabbage adorably with its front legs, diligently munching away.

-Crunch. Crunch.

Millipedes usually eat decaying plants, but fresh cabbage?!

Is it truly a spiritual beast?

I stared blankly at its eating show.

‘S-So cute!’

It was while I was dumbly gazing at the little guy as if entranced.

Hwa-eun’s voice echoed in my head.

『"So-ryong, could it be the Red Cloud Black Millipede from the Twenty-Four Poisonous Extremities, Cloud-Rain-Snow-Hail Division?"? I’m not entirely sure since the size and color are slightly different, but what do you think?"』
