Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 145

(EP-145.2) #5

145 – Pincer #5

It was a squirrel.

“Hey, there’s a bunch of dog squirrels over there.”

Elga pointed to a glass panel with about three or four dog squirrels inside. Looking at them, I was reminded of my own pet squirrel, Keongkeong, whom I raised in my room, and it made me feel quite happy.

“All but one are female.”

“How could you tell?”

“Females ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) have fewer injuries on their bodies compared to the males. See, that one over there, that’s the only male.”

Indeed, upon closer inspection, one of the squirrels had various injuries, while the female squirrels had glossy fur.

“Why is there such a difference?”

“Squirrel populations have fewer males, so the females fight amongst themselves to claim them.”

I see, so there was something like that?

In fact, the females ran towards the male squirrel inside the cage, biting its tail and attacking it from all directions.

━Keureureung...!

The male squirrel resisted here and there, but being smaller in size and fewer in number compared to the females, it eventually gave in and ran into a corner. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

It looked very pitiful with its fur falling out and started trembling in fear.

A man living in captivity with various women...

Having a lot of mates might sound good, but such a life was nothing but continuous suffering.

Which made me realize that squirrel and I were not much different from each other.

If I couldn’t hold the leash of Mirna, Elga, Stella and Aira properly, I might get ripped apart just like that.

“Hey, there’s a group of Michuri over there! Wow, there are so many!”

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Elga’s back smack.

Time passed, and it was lunchtime.

Elga and I had an enjoyable time at the zoo.

Contrary to my expectation that I would lead Elga, she chose where she wanted to go instead, and I just followed along.

“Shall we sit over there and rest?”

Elga suggested taking the shade and rest. Walking around in glass shoes all day long must have been hard.

I spreaded out a mat I brought with my bag and laid it under the tree. Then, I took out a thermos and a teacup, before pouring some tea into Elga’s cup.

As she settled down, Elga also fumbled with her bag and spoke quietly.

“So, we’ve been walking around, aren’t you hungry?”

“Hungry?”

Seureuk.

Elga took something out of her bag. It was a small box, with black paint on its wooden surface and adorned with silver lining.

It looked like a jewelry box, but inside were not jewels, but sandwiches made with bread, cheese and ham.
