The thought that it might be the triplets' birthday hadn’t even crossed Ryubeom's mind. As he hurriedly turned to leave, Yeohwi shook his head with a smile. “No need. The kids will be thrilled just to play with you.” Right on cue, the triplets rushed over and clung to Ryubeom. Euno and Dongo grabbed onto each of his legs, while Gumo practically launched himself into the air, causing Ryubeom to catch him instinctively. He was startled, afraid the boy might fall. Gumo, securely held in…-

The Tiger Clan's mansion was bustling with commotion from the early morning. The cause was none other than the incident involving the mermaid in the Han River. The clan had already noticed that something was off with the river’s currents the previous night, and early that morning, they received a message from Cheon Ryubeom asking for help. Cheon Hoyun received the message and reported it to the clan leader. By breakfast, the elders were informed, and soon the entire clan knew. Naturally, the clan…

Cheon Ryubeom didn’t miss the path and chased after it. His consciousness kept flickering, and he almost collapsed several times, but he managed to hold on and continue stumbling forward. He believed there was a reason he briefly saw them. And finally, Cheon Ryubeom realized what he had to do. Upon reaching the barrier, Cheon Ryubeom knelt. “…Young master?” Yeohwi looked at Ryubeom in confusion, and the mermaids, who had been in a defensive stance, hesitated. The large blue mermaid,…

The voice was filled with intense resentment and anger. The grudges of those who had suffered and writhed in pain had coalesced into the creation of the mermaids. Only now did Ryubeom finally realize why these yokai had taken on the form of mermaids. As Cheon Ryubeom's face turned pale and froze, the mermaid let out a twisted laugh. The way one corner of its mouth stretched all the way to its ear was eerie. Two short-haired mermaids swam in front of Ryubeom, mocking him. The mermaids'…

Swish, swish... The sound of water rippling incessantly tickled Ryubeom’s ears. It was as if he was passing through a vortex, the fierce noise echoing endlessly before gradually subsiding. At that moment, Cheon Ryubeom slowly opened his eyes. As the bubbles dispersed, his vision began to clear underwater. Currently, Ryubeom was being dragged through the river by the tail of a mermaid. Pretending to be unconscious, he kept his eyes closed and remained still, ensuring they would not suspect anything.…

Cheon Ryubeom began gathering clues, one by one. So far, all the bodies found at Wonjeung Pier were human and recorded as having no occupation. Did all these people from different generations take their own lives out of despair? Was it possible that they had some sort of gathering when three of them were found together at once? He organized the clues he had collected and the information he had seen in the river. He had to piece together everything, from the moment he fell into the river to the…

Yeohwi shot a very bewildered look, prompting Ryubeom to glance sideways. He had been pondering the idea that mermaids might be conceptually similar to beastfolk, but perhaps it was too far-fetched... However, Yeohwi soon nodded as if considering the possibility that mermaids in the Han River were worth thinking about. "Hmm, with so many people in the capital, they might find it easier to feed on fear and terror. Mermaids are well-known worldwide, aren’t they?" "Maybe so..." The Han River is…

"You’ve probably already been introduced, but they’re from our family and have just come to Seoul…." "Oh, come on, I don’t need an introduction! Just looking at their face, I can tell they're from the fox family!" "I’ve heard rumors lately that other families' beastfolk are more attractive than the foxes, but if they debut, that’ll be squashed in an instant!" "Everyone, calm down…." Guil tried hard to settle everyone down, but they were already too excited. "They seem a bit…

"Hmm...?" "It seems the children really enjoyed coming home with you today, young master. They all like you. If you stay with them, there shouldn’t be any danger..." Cheon Ryubeom just blinked. He was so taken aback that Yeohwi's words didn’t quite register in his mind. His first thoughts were of worry and a sense of burden: wouldn’t it be dangerous to get this close? Was it the long-standing family teaching of hostility towards foxes, or just an aversion to getting close to anyone? Of…

As the clock struck noon, the old cuckoo clock chimed. The faintly familiar sound, seemingly from a distant past, resonated in the room. Gradually, the sound of the cuckoo stirred Cheon Ryubeom awake. His eyes, catching the noonday sunlight streaming through the window, appeared hazy as if soaked. He scanned the room with his eyes. The cuckoo clock, which was once in vogue, had a slightly worn waxed wooden frame. The door at the top of the clock creaked open, and the cuckoo bird emerged. The cuckoo…
