TL: Hanguk

“A good thing?”

(Yes! It’s big and shiny!)

‘Big and shiny?!’

At the bat’s reply, Sejun put down the wood he was carrying and went inside the void prison.

And the item he found.

“Could it be… this? Big and shiny?”

Inside the prison was a gold tumbler that was not there when Sejun was cleaning.

(Yes! I prepared it for you, master!)

The golden bat pointed at the golden tumbler with its wings and spoke proudly.

Since the previous owner, Skaram, liked big and shiny things, the golden bat thought Sejun would too.

Then,

“This is trash, meow!”

Theo, who was hanging on Sejun’s knee, shouted at the sight of the tumbler.

(Tr…trash?! I got this from outside the tower especially for you!)

“That’s why it’s trash, meow! President Park said that items from outside the tower are trash, meow!”

Theo said proudly, remembering Sejun’s teaching.

(That can’t be…)

The golden bat seemed disappointed.

“You got this from outside the tower?”

(Yes! Master! I can wander outside the tower for 1 minute!)

Seeing Sejun’s reaction, the golden bat boasted about its ability. I’m competent, right? I did a good job, right? Please praise me!

However,

“Golden bat, I’m disappointed.”

Instead of praise, Sejun scolded the golden bat.

With the ability to bring things from outside the tower, it brought back a mere tumbler?! There were so many things to eat like snacks, bread, drinks, ramen, etc.! And with such an ability, it brought back a mere tumbler!

(What?!!!)

At Sejun’s words, the golden bat was shocked as if the world had collapsed. It tried to impress its master with its ability, but ended up ruining it.

‘I’m a useless bat…’

It wanted to hide. Just like when it was abandoned right after birth because it was a different color.

When the golden bat was about to hide its face with its wings in despair,

“Golden bat, you’re wasting an incredible talent.”

(Me? Talent?)

“Yeah. Theo, the contract.”

“Here it is, meow!!”

At Sejun’s words, Theo immediately took out the contract.

Then,

Swish. Swish.

Sejun started writing the contract. He was going to observe a little more and then decide, but he couldn’t treat such a top-tier talent like this.

“I’ll release you in exchange for working for me for 10 years.”

Sejun proposed a contract to the golden bat, offering to release it from prison in exchange for ten years of service.

(You’re providing three meals a day and a performance bonus?!)

The golden bat was surprised to see the contract. Even though it would be thankful just to get out of here, but it was unbelievable that he is going to provide meals and even money for ten years! This new master was strange.

“Now, stamp it.”

(Okay.)

Press.

The golden bat stamped the contract with the thumb on the tip of its wing.

“Welcome, golden bat.”

Clank.

Once the contract was stamped, Sejun undid the chain that bound the golden bat’s legs.

(Thank you!)

Flap. Flap.

The unchained golden bat flew around Sejun, flapping its wings loudly. It felt so comfortable to fly without the chains that had been dragging its feet.

“First, sit down. I have something to ask.”

(Yes!)

Following Sejun’s order, the golden bat sat on his shoulder.
