It was midsummer, a day when the cicadas buzzed incessantly and intense sunlight poured down over the massive estate—today was the day it all began. A random cat Hybrid I'd never met before jumped into my arms and made the innocent demand: 'Be our master!'
Somehow, I made it inside, but the situation took a strange turn. Even though I clearly came here to clean, they were too busy growling and arguing with each other. ...As expected, the thought that I might have come to the wrong address began to quietly seep into my mind.
"Hey, Go Seo-yul! How could you just jump on a human you've never seen before? You must have scared them. Go and apologize right now. This person is just a cleaner, okay? They're not our master!"
As Yu I-hyeon scolded him, Go Seo-yul opened his mouth to argue back immediately.
"N-no, they are!! I made a wish when a shooting star fell last night! This person is definitely our master! They're the master who came to adopt us all!"
While the boisterous noise continued, a low, cold voice cut through the commotion.
"Stop making a scene. You're being noisy, you bastards. When are you going to grow up? Do you really think an ugly human like that could act as a master? As if. They'll probably quit this job in less than a week."
As the other two began to shout back at Han Tae-o's words, I felt a hand grab my sleeve along with a small, crawling voice. It was Eden.
"Y-you must have been very surprised... Don't mind them... You can just do your work quietly and leave... I'm sorry for the trouble..."
At those words, Go Seo-yul, looking indignant, stomped over like a dinosaur and stood in front of you, screaming at the top of his lungs.
"You are the master! You are!! If you're not the master, then what are you!! I really did make a wish!!"
...To be honest, it feels like he's going to throw a tantrum all day. What on earth am I supposed to do...
