"I'm obese."
What?
"What is it?"
Wow. I thought I could finally speak to people. Naturally, it was Kyle's question.
The vet noticed the anger in the Archduke's voice and trembled slightly.
"That's it... His Highness's companion ham—no, the rodent demon beast said that he had no appetite and was less active..."
It was a breathtaking display of respect. I'm probably the only hamster in the world who is treated like this by a veterinarian.
However, His Highness the Grand Duke was pampered, but he couldn't say, "This rat is a horse." He didn't even tell the Grand Duke, but he could have his neck blown off for blasphemy.
It's unreasonable, but what can I do? I can't help but lament being born into a world with a status above my race.
"No trauma was found, and there were no abnormal symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea, so it is a little difficult to suspect a disease. When I pressed his stomach, he didn't have any stomach pain. But when I pressed it closely..."
"Did you press it?"
Kyle urged him to hurry up and talk. The vet trembled as if he had received death threats.
"...It was just belly fat!"
I'm fat.
I lay down and looked at them alternately. What, is this the first time you've seen a fat hamster? You've never seen one before. Look at it a lot. You won't see it now or ever again.
Of course, I thought I knew why I was fat. I ate so much in the morning. Northern food was quite good. No, it's just human food. Eat something like dried yellow pollack or a hundred blades. Even if you just eat rice paste, it tastes good.
[(^(00)^)]
...Did I eat that much?
In the morning, Sen introduced me to help with the work. It was to make fried sandwiches and distribute them to people, but the servants didn't like the oil splashing, so I volunteered to do it for them.
Who am I? I am a tenacious individual who worked part-time at a franchise fast food restaurant in the Gangnam-gu station area for four years to earn tuition when I was in college.
My dazzling frying skills led to all the fried dishes coming back to me.
I avoided the eyes of busy people and took a bite of a sandwich, a bite of pretzels, another bite of a sandwich, another bite of pretzels, a bite of donuts, a bite of fried meat... One bite became ten, and how many times did I repeat ten bites?
Anyway, I ate to my stomach's content for 30 minutes. Kyle doesn't give me fried food for my hamster's health. I missed these high-calorie foods so much.
Looking at the way he asked a newcomer to do a messy job, it seems that he was rather persistent, but it's actually good. Thanks to you, I will eat well. After all, even if you roll in a field of, this life, no, human beings are good.
When I left the kitchen, patting my stomach, the servants said that they thought there was less food than expected. Albanya. I put on an iron plate and said I didn't know. It was so cold in the North that my mug was thicker.
That was in the morning.
"Cashew Nut has been starving since this morning!"
Kyle exclaimed.
Of course, I don't eat it. If you were like me, would you eat a box of fried food and then be distracted by peanuts? Eat it.
Of course, at first, I didn't just want to eat. To prevent the chandelier incident, I tried to tell the officials to check the central chandelier in the ballroom.
The problem was that my words were not convincing. Who would believe that a guy with an unknown identity should appear and check the banquet hall again?
I was scolded not to insult the goods he gave him from Hwangseong, and he gave me a basket or a bunch of hugs, saying that if I didn't fry the food properly, it would be a big deal.
Anyway, after eating like that in the morning and sleeping in the afternoon, Kyle was in a real emergency. He explained to the vet that I had no appetite and no energy, and he was even very desperate.
"Look at it again. Maybe there's something in his stomach, right?"
I'm not a veterinarian, but he touched my stomach once again as a courtesy. He pressed my soft stomach and shuddered again.
"It's really just fat..."
There was a breathtaking silence.
I understand, so please take your hands off my belly. It seems that my whole body is vibrating because you've dropped me so much.
"I see..."
Kyle said in a tone that didn't make sense at all. I slipped down from the vet's palm and onto Kyle's elbow.
Calm down, man. If the vet says I'm fat, it must be fat. Does being fat make a hamster die? I'll eat one or two for dinner as a courtesy. Okay?
As if my unspoken comfort had reached him, Kyle gently stroked my back with his fingertips.
"...He's so cute, but he's overweight."
Were you too shocked? Logic ran out of the North.
The vet seemed to have the same idea as me, but he didn't say anything and bowed his head. I had only one life, but it was worth it.
"You'll need to take care of it in the future."
"Yes, Your Highness. Periodic management is very important. It is better to exercise as much as possible and avoid fatty diets. It would be helpful if you feed them boiled vegetables. And... I heard that the rodent demon beast is still in the growth stage."
My growth plates closed more than 10 years ago, you guys.
"It seems that the problem will be solved little by little as the size grows after the growth period. So don't worry too much, Your Highness. Time will tell."
"Yes. That's how it should be."
"Is the mature demon beast big?"
"It's bigger than this."
"Then you may need to change things like the treadmill and the hiding house. If necessary, the house itself."
Kyle replied without a second thought.
"I can change it a hundred times."
It is a tearful hamster love. A lot of money and more love?
"By the way, I said periodic maintenance."
Kyle thought for a moment and continued.
"It seems that your skills are good, and this guy will continue to grow in the future, so why don't you settle in the North?"
"In the North...?"
The vet seemed to doubt his ears.
It was a matter of course. Kyle's expression has been dark ever since he came in and checked on me, and I don't understand why he trusted him enough to recruit him.
However, it was not a bad suggestion, and the veterinarian's face also turned a little red. Is this man in the original work?
[Veterinarian: About 15 days left before the estimated time of death.]
Why is it all time-limited?
Tell me how you die.
[Belial's mother and current empress, Serena Meinhardt, was executed shortly after her death because she did not help her when she was sick.]
The reason was also absurd.
What kind of god is a veterinarian?
It is common among races to die of old age over time. What if the cat kills the vet because it can't live forever? An empress with no countermeasures.
Since the cat is doing it today and tomorrow, it seems that he joined the northern procession to escape somehow. Maybe he had an excuse to take care of the horses pulling the wagon.
If he had a reason to settle in the North, it would be a great opportunity to save his life. While he was busy calculating, the vet's face was getting brighter and brighter.
"I'll take care of the money without worrying about it. I'm sure you'll treat me well."
Is money a problem? Give me your life, life! Even if the hamster dies, promise not to kill you, you thoughtless bastard!
"Is there anything else you want? I will tell His Highness the Crown Prince."
The vet still seemed to be wondering if this or that person from the imperial family could not be guessed. However, it seemed that the life expectancy of obese hamsters was longer than that of old cats.
"I will honor His Highness' wishes."
Correct!
I stepped down from Kyle's hand in compliment and placed my hand on the vet's arm. Well thought. This is the way to get the line longer.
[Fate has changed, and the person who was going to die has come back to life!]
[Miracle Numbers Increased!]
[Current miracle value 11.0%]
Wow, it's 3 percent in an instant. Saving people's lives is the best thing.
Guns began to spin in my eyes. If it takes 3 percent to save the vet who didn't give him a name in the original, it would be a shame to save Kyle.
Stick another zero next to it, system. Let's write it big.
[The current duration of 'Load' is 1 hour.]
The 'load' time, which was 30 minutes the whole time, has been increased to 1 hour. The reason seems to be that the miracle figure exceeded 10 percent.
Yes, climb up a little earlier. If I did, I would have added 30 fried foods now... No, let's stop eating that. I'm really going to forget how to walk.
The hamster's body was too frank. What if I steam it as I eat? It's a good thing that even humanoids don't get fat.
"Cashew Nut."
After comparing life expectancy, the veterinarian returned with a bright face. However, Kyle still looked pensive. As if they had heard my sentence.
Hey, you timed wives. You were the ones who had less than a month left to die. I am... Technically, he's already dead. Maybe he just died.
...They said that if they performed a miracle, they would survive, so they had no choice but to be deceived and trust the system.
"Now, you heard the explanation earlier, right?"
Normally, hamsters don't understand the vet, Your Highness.
"Periodic exercise is life."
Kyle put me in the house and said bitterly.
I do not understand. I just lay down on the spot. What kind of exercise is exercise? Riding a thousand wheels is the same as pulling out all my life's exercises. Do it, exercise.
"Hurry up. Don't you like this?"
He said nervously, placed the wheel in front of me, and began to twirl it around with his index finger. The wheel turned as cheerfully as if I was playing on the Ferris wheel. Uh-oh, he's a good joker. Look at it more.
"Cashew Nut, please."
—Grabbed! (I don't like it.)
"Just one lap. Huh?"
—Stew. (Do it yourself.)
It's troublesome. Everything you eat is digested after you hit it with a sigh. Chubby hamsters will be petted, right? Just accept it.
By the way, what about Belial?
After they stopped me like that, Belial didn't even enter the study. This means that there is nothing that can be found out by the hamster identity.
It is not difficult to find out where they live, but there is no way they can enter as servants. It is useless even if the time to 'load' is ten hours instead of one.
...If you want to prevent the chandelier incident, you should not allow him to attend the banquet.
Oh, how do you deal with this?
My head was already hurting. Isn't it too difficult for hamsters, Mr. System, please adjust the difficulty in beginner mode.
[(:3」∠) ]
Yes, did you lie down too? I lay down too.
I watched Kyle's fun for a long time after that, and then fell asleep.
