Chapter 216
Since that day, something had changed for Joo-Hyun.
“Joo-Hyun, that’s...?”
“It’s a tamed snake, so please don’t worry too much.”
“Ah, right. But I remember you were a non-awakened civilian... That doesn’t really look like an ordinary snake, though.”
“Gio tamed it and attached it to me as a companion.”
“Aha...”
The snake, only slightly thicker than a child’s wrist, flicked its tail as it shimmered with a glorious crimson sheen. Its round, gleaming eyes and cat-like curved mouth made it look harmless and almost cute.
The Collector’s Guild employee nodded.
“As expected of Hunter Sergio’s tastes—what a flamboyant snake. Sparkling like a gemstone, it looks like the perfect monster to lure people in. Did he make it himself?”
“Mm... something like that, I suppose.”
“So there’s a reason for your visit today. Like with the waterbirds, if you can give me a rough idea of its characteristics and habits, we’ll register it with the Association under an existing monster entry. That should make things easier for your activities, right?”
“I’d really appreciate that. Gio gave me a bunch of snacks, and I was wondering if anyone here might want to share them. There’s a lot.”
