Between China and Mongolia, to the east of the Gobi Desert.

Approximately 1000km north of Beijing, the capital of China.

Flap-flap.

Hundreds of thousands of green locusts flew over the vast sandy lands, forming a three-dimensional pattern.

It was a magic circle.

Moments later.

Buzz.

In the center of the magic circle, a hole appeared in the air,

Flutter-flutter.

and out of the hole came two moths, each the size of a palm. As soon as the moths emerged, the hole closed immediately.

And then,

Flap-flap.

the green locusts began to attack the moths they had summoned.

Locusts, even cannibalistic towards their kind, had no concept of allies.

Just as the two moths appeared, about to be torn to shreds by the locusts,

Woosh.

flames burst forth from the moths’ wings,

Whoosh.

burning the attacking locusts.

However,

Flap-flap.

the locusts continued their attack on the fire moths without fear.

Whoosh-whoosh.

The bodies of the locusts served as fuel, causing the flames of the fire moths to grow larger.

Once the flames had grown sufficiently,

a part of the flame detached,

Flutter-flutter.

and transformed into a moth the size of a fist.

Flap-flap.

Naturally, the locusts attacked the newly born moth,

Woosh.

but the newly born moth also created flames on its wings, burning the locusts.

This process repeated, reducing the number of locusts while increasing the number of fire moths. Eventually, only the fire moths remained.

And then,

Flutter-flutter.

the fire moths dispersed in all directions, searching for prey to sacrifice to the flames.

Sejun was diligently working on rice dough, chuckling to himself.

‘I can eat pizza now!’

Sejun thought of pizza the moment he felt the texture of mozzarella cheese in the sticky corn.

He had rushed to the kitchen to make this rice dough.

A little later,

“Done.”

Sejun had finished the rice dough.

He covered the bowl containing the rice dough with banana leaves for fermentation,

Sejun quickly filled his stomach with Aileen’s cooking.

And then,

“Alright, now to make tomato paste.”

He took out cherry tomatoes that had been soaking in hot water one by one,

Then,

[Uncle, are you making something new again?]

As Sejun began cooking something new, the rabbits showed interest and came to help, eager to lend a hand.

“Yes, it’s a dish called pizza…”

Thanks to the rabbits, Sejun was able to explain pizza to them and keep himself entertained while working.
