Meanwhile, in the peaceful hut.

Gio was observing the new family member.

“Is this little one all grown up?”

“Gyaru.”

“How cute.”

It was a cuteness that calmed the heart.

Lying belly-up with its little paws flapping around, Gio gently grabbed the front paws of the Anti-Cat. The cats from Earth usually hated their paws being held, but the Anti-Cat didn’t seem to mind much.

Like a baby being played with, Gio gently grabbed its paws and wiggled them a few times.

“Grrr…”

“It doesn’t seem to dislike it.”

“Miyah.”

“A cat is still a cat.”

“Mm-mmm.”

“It’s very cold.”

Just like touching the stalactites in a remote cave, the Anti-Cat’s body was cold.

“Honey, you're the complete opposite.”

“Guruluk?”

“You’re warm.”

Maybe because of the juice from the Lulupu, who grew under the sunlight and moonlight, Honey’s tiny body was especially warm. It seemed that the abundant affection from the Sun God had raised its body temperature even more recently.

“If you’re this cold, it might be difficult for you to stick around Honey…”

Seong-Woon wasn’t sure if there was any scientific evidence for it, but it made him wonder if creatures like fish or frogs, which naturally had cold bodies, might get burned if a human touched them.

“If it’s uncomfortable, just tell me, little one.”

“......”

“You’re eerily quiet. Good girl, good girl. You’re very clever.”

It didn’t seem uncomfortable.

“You seem to understand what I’m saying.”

That was pretty rare.

‘It really shines like a jewel… like some kind of crystal.’

The Anti-Cat’s body resembled that of a kitten just a few months old. Its body held a shine that looked like a well-polished diamond.

Because of that, unlike Honey, who was completely transparent, the Anti-Cat seemed opaque.

“Impressive.”

“Muh.”

“You can even glow on your own. How clever.”

Honey, who was sitting nearby, stared at Gio.

“......”

“…Of course, Honey, you’re clever too.”

“Gung.”

“How cute.”

“Grrr.”

Raising children is so difficult.

“By the way, I wonder what our youngest eats to grow.”

From what he could roughly gather, it seemed to live by absorbing life energy. Earthlings would treat it like a ghost, but if it were a cute ghost like this, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to let it absorb some life force.

“I might have to make a cat tower soon... I’m good at making hiding tunnels.”

“Gyaru.”

“There are plenty of tall, rugged trees around here, so it’s a good place to climb. But even inside the house, the Anti-Cat needs its own space. Just like a cat, it would be sensitive to its territory.”

“Mm.”

“The place our youngest lived in was the ‘Vein of Gems,’ so maybe a similar environment would be fun. We could make a hidden house like a dark ant hole, and if we put in some gems... it should be fine.”

Then it was time to come up with a name.

“Sparkle…”

“......”

“…Déjà vu?”

It was the same reaction he had when he first thought of the name "Geumjjogi" for Honey. It seemed to be asking ‘Are you serious, human?’

Gio tried to get more creative.

“......”

After a brief silence, he mumbled softly.

“Diana?”

In Korean, it meant “someone who always leads,” but that wasn’t why he thought of the name “Diana.”

“I kept thinking of diamonds, and I thought of a similar name, but ‘diamond’ is too long. ‘Dai’ felt too long too.”

Of course, shortening it to “Da” or “Di” felt like a dishonorable choice.

“So, I made a slight modification: Diana. How does it sound?”

“Mh.”

“I’m glad you like it.”

It passed the naming test.

“Phew.”

Gio attributed this success to all the global namers. After all, naming wasn’t an easy task.

“Now, let’s prepare the meal.”

“Gurururururuk.”

“Naming made me hungry.”

He also needed to clean up the ox bone broth.

“Fortunately, it seems Chara Hunter liked it.”

Earth’s ox bone requires a lot of attention. The preparation process was similar, but after that, it was all about controlling the fire and removing the impurities that rise to the surface, requiring a lot of care.

“The first batch of ox bone broth is too greasy to be consumed directly. It’s something that’s tough to drink without careful adjustment, but I can’t waste it. In Earth, making it with cows is still a bit of a hassle.”

“Mmh?”

“That’s how it works.”

Even though the Anti-Cat seemed to understand, it still looked at Gio with confusion. Meanwhile, Honey, who knew Gio loved to cook, listened calmly. True food lovers know the origin of their food and can enjoy it more deeply. Both Honey and Gio understood that.

“In that regard, the bones of the stag are quite independent.”

If you leave them on a weak fire for three days, without even skimming off the impurities, the bones and cartilage melt away completely.

“The stag’s bones are truly something you can’t waste.”

“Gurururuk.”

Honey, having devoured all the internal organs except for a few, expressed strong empathy. With its tail happily waving, Honey glanced at Gio from the opposite shoulder of Diana.

“......”

“......?”

Seong-Woon, noticing Honey’s thoughtful expression, soon realized what it was thinking.

“…Ah.”

Now that he thought about it, Gio had obtained a gem-like heart from the stag while disassembling it.

“I forgot to check that.”

“Gung gung gung…”

“After we finish our meal, if everything’s fine, I’ll give it to you, Honey.”

Gio, who could make jewels and had jewels everywhere, didn’t really covet the gem heart. Despite being a part of a dead body, it still felt oddly alive, and that made Gio feel strange.

“But if it looks like it could cause trouble, I’ll keep it safe.”

“Gook.”

Honey didn’t throw a tantrum about that. Gio was pleased.

“What a good kid.”

He was happy to have such a diligent and kind son. Gio himself wasn’t particularly good, but it felt like a great blessing to always meet such wonderful family members.

Gio adjusted Diana’s posture, which had been slouching, and spoke.

“Actually, the bone broth was ready when I gave it to Chara Hunter in her rice, but I wanted to concentrate it a bit more. It’ll be easier to store and enjoy later if it’s thicker. We can just add more water when we need it.”

“Gurururururuk.”

“Yes, you’ve waited a lot too. I could see how hard it was for you to wait while hanging around the stove, but you did well. Your patience will make you a great bird one day.”

Honey had always loved liquid foods. The waiting must have been tough for it. Gio acknowledged Honey’s patience and praised it, moving towards the boiling pot.

“Oh…”

Opening the lid, # Nоvеlight # a sweet aroma hit him immediately.

“Nice.”

“Guruk guruk guruk…”

“It’s probably hot right now.”

“Gook.”

“Well then, I’ll serve it.”

Honey, who had already received the Sun God’s touch many times without issue, was now accustomed to the heat. Gio ladled the soup into a small bowl to serve it to Honey.

Then, Gio saw it.

“Honey.”

“Guruk.”

“The one who needs me, needs my heart.”

And there Honey was, stuck in the pot.

“Gook gook gook…”

“I’m not going to turn into some horrible villain. What do you think I am, a monster from Greek mythology?”

Honey had expanded from a sparrow size to something closer to a pigeon. If they went to the animal hospital now, they’d definitely hear about how overweight it was and how it needed to be watched closely.

“Not only is it concentrated, but this is just absurd.”

“Gook gook gook gook…”

“Eating salty things isn’t good for your body. I’ll make it better for you later, so let’s calm down a bit.”

Despite grumbling, Honey finally climbed out of the pot.

“......”

“…You too?”

“Ah-ook.”

Seong-Woon wasn’t sure if the siblings were impressed by Honey’s antics of climbing into the pot, but Diana, who had been lying lazily on his shoulder like slime, sat next to the pot.

‘It might be a bit too hot for Diana since her body temperature is low.’

Gio cooled down the soup as much as possible and handed it to Diana.

“......”

Lick.

“......”

“Oh.”

Diana’s body faintly glowed as it licked the soup, and Gio nodded to himself.

‘Seems like she liked it.’

Although not as chatty as Honey, Diana was expressing her happiness in the way she glowed.

Gio, feeling proud as a father and cook, continued preparing the meal.

“The rice has already been made with Chara Hunter’s bone broth, so let’s eat that.”

“Guruk.”

“Fail.”

Diana, who hadn’t shown much interest in food earlier, seemed to have gotten something out of tasting the bone broth. She followed Honey around, eagerly helping with the meal preparation. It was very entertaining to watch.

“See? The kids love delicious things more than anything…”

Gio scraped the rice made with the bone broth and served it.

After filling up the bowl with perfectly cooked rice, he scraped the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot clean.

“Who wants the crispy rice?”

As he asked, both creatures reacted.

“Gurururuk. Gururururuk.”

“Fail, Miyah, Ah-ook… Mmm-mmm.”

“…Let’s share.”

There was some grumbling, but could there be a wiser decision than the wisdom of Solomon? Gio neatly divided the crispy rice into two parts, and when he did so, neither of his two companions grumbled anymore.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Gio continued preparing the rest of the meal.

“I’ll make grilled rice balls with the bone broth.”

Saying that, he wasn’t just going to make one.

“For side dishes, I’ll make grilled eggplant with miso and… maybe I’ll boil a soup.”

Gio headed out to the backyard, which he called his garden, but to the monsters, it was more like a monster garden.

The pea vines still looked sturdy.

“......”

They even greeted him.

“…It’s getting funny now.”

Rustle.

“Yes, hello. It’s a beautiful day, right?”

“......”

“Thank you for guarding the garden today too.”

The vine, which had received Gio’s greeting, gently lowered itself back down.

‘...Now that I think about it, pretending to be an ordinary pea vine doesn’t make it look ordinary anymore.’

But Gio decided to respect the privacy of the pea vine. He casually passed by, disregarding the fact that ordinary pea vines couldn’t move.

Anyway, Gio harvested four eggplants and various vegetables from the garden. After washing them clean, he sliced the eggplants to a suitable thickness and salted them. He peeled and sliced the radish into thin pieces. He also rinsed the peas after removing them from the pods.

“…As much as I’d like to put jerky in it, I guess that’s a bit much.”

Gio brought out sausages.

“Honey, you don’t like spicy food, right?”

“Gurururururururururuk.”

“I figured as much.”

He picked a mild-flavored sausage.

“Ah?”

“Well, we’ll find out later if you can handle spicy food. For now, I won’t add spicy sausage to the soup since you wouldn’t be able to eat it.”

“Mmh.”

“I’ll grill the spicy sausages later.”

Although it might seem like an odd combination to Koreans, adding sausage to a soup wasn’t a bad idea. Of course, using pink sausages or Spam, which barely resemble meat, would be a little awkward, but…

“Well, let’s peel this now.”

Gio prepared the sausages.

He lightly cut the end of the casing and gently squeezed out the meat, which came out along with the spices.

Gio prepared the sausages.

He lightly cut the end of the casing and gently squeezed out the meat, which came out along with the spices. The aroma from the sausages filled the air, and Gio sliced the sausage meat into appropriate sizes.

“Now, let’s add it all together.”

He added a little water to the concentrated ox bone broth and then tossed in the sliced radish, peas, and the prepared sausages.

The peas, which had grown in the monster garden, were large but smaller compared to others. The sausages were already fine to eat raw, so they didn’t need cooking, and the only thing that needed to cook was the radish.

“And now…”

Gio lightly grilled the rice balls and mixed some fruit syrup, miso, and soy sauce to create a glaze for the eggplants, which he placed in the oven. By the time the soup was almost done, the rest of the meal was nearly ready.

“Let’s eat.”

“Gururururuk.”

“Ah-ook, mmm-mmm.”

Gio noticed that Diana had cried out for a long time. It seemed she really loved mealtime. Kids always looked the prettiest when they were eating.

“I’m going to go offer my thanks to the Sun God, so you all can eat first.”

“Mweng.”

“Guruk.”

Gio made his way to the second floor art storage room. Several landscape paintings were displayed there. He immediately approached one titled “The Breathing Sea.”

As expected, the Sun God was pleased…

“......”

And gave a gift.

“…What is this? A certificate?”

“Does this mean I shouldn’t accept it? After all, it’s not really mine, is it?”

“…Yes, understood.”

Though he wasn’t quite sure what it was, it didn’t seem like something bad, so Gio accepted it gratefully.
