Yeon-woo silently stepped back with a bow

And he reat Mythical Beast

‘Can’t believe I’ so he wasn’t cut out for

Surprised by the sudden reaction, Yeon-woo flinched a little, but he soon got back to building the nest

A faint smile rested on Yeon-woo’s lip

Yeon-woo placed the nest on the edge of a giant tree so that his egg could feel the breeze

Though he couldn’t read its thought, he felt like the egg also liked the place

‘Well, that’s enough for the egg’

Yeon-woo shook the dirt off his hands and stood up
