"Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!"


    Something shrieked and leaped out of the cracked egg like a flash of light. It was a frightening speed comparable to that of a bullet and caused everyone to draw away reflexively.


    ''Ah!''


    Its target was at the head of the table.


    Greatly startled, Seol Jihu twisted his body away, causing the thing to shoot past him by a hair’s breadth. Seol Jihu’s face went blank as he turned his head around.


    ''Fast…!''


    He couldn’t even make out its silhouette. If he hadn’t avoided it intuitively, he would have been hit. However, the surprise wasn’t over yet.


    The thing that shot past Seol Jihu bounced upwards as soon as it hit the wall behind him. It then made several somersaults in the air before lightly landing back on the table.


    Seol Jihu stared down at the table in a daze.


    Something short and chubby was staring up at him.


    ''…Injeolmi?''
