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.

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,

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

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

However,

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

Once the flames had grown sufficiently,

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

Sejun had finished the rice dough.

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

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.
