Fabre in Sacheondangga Episode 172

Minute 2

Although the King of Geummobong’s house was a bit noisy, he brought Hwayang to his quarters and put him down in a corner.

Because he was a sensitive golden eagle, he had to leave Hwayang behind when visiting their house, and he also had to be careful of Hwayang.

Given Hwayang’s greed, it seemed like he would do this every time he ate, so it couldn’t be left alone.

“Hwayang, you shouldn’t go to the kitchen and steal fire again, right? If you do that, other people won’t be able to eat. And Seomseo, if you eat like that every day, it’s not good for your health.”

-Beep!

A guy who immediately opens his eyes wide and asks if I’m talking nonsense.

I answered with a bewildered expression at Hwayang’s bashful appearance only when talking about food.

“No, it’s not that I don’t want to feed you. I’m just worried. If you eat that much, you might get sick. If you keep doing that, I’ll only feed you once every two days.”

-Beep!? Beep···.

A guy who was startled by my words, but then immediately became discouraged when I told him I would only be given food once every two days.

Although the guy looked a bit pitiful, there was a reason why I had to say this.

Although there may be some differences because they are spirits, toads do not eat food every day like toads.

Amphibians usually eat about once every two days.

This is due to the unique digestive system of amphibians: since they have no teeth, they rely entirely on their stomach and small intestine to digest their food.

That’s why even if they eat normal food, it takes a whole day to digest it, and if they eat large food, it naturally takes longer to digest it.

So, I had to be careful because I thought that if you try to eat like that every day, something might go wrong.

Of course, it could be okay because it was a spirit, but if you look at it from a different perspective, Hwayang was clearly a spirit that did not eat food often.

That would be the case, isn’t fire the most difficult food to obtain in nature?

Normally, for a creature like Hwayang to eat fire, it would have to live in a place with natural forest fires or a volcanic zone, but considering where it was found, a volcanic zone would not be a suitable habitat for it, so it seemed like it would be the type that would eat food very rarely.

“Just bear with it for a little longer. Okay?”

“···.”

After chuckling once at the sight of the boy closing his eyes and exercising his right to remain silent in response to my question, I patted the kids who were now slowly coming to their senses.

I wanted to wake up the kids and make them come to their senses before going to the Golden Phoenix King’s house.

“Okay, Bin-i, get up now. Hyang-i, get up too.”

-Tsuru···.

At my words, Bin-i slowly crawled towards me with drooping tentacles and stuck his head in towards me.

The appearance of Bin, who still hasn’t woken up from his sleep.

“Hey, Bin. Stop acting like a fool and get up quickly.”

I grabbed the sensitive antennae on both sides of the animal and lifted them above my head to bring them back to their senses, but as soon as I let go, Binnie’s antennae drooped down to both sides again, like the drooping ears of an animal.

I said in a stern voice that it was time to get up now, but I couldn’t help but fall for the guy’s cuteness right away.

I just couldn’t stand the sight of her with floppy puppy ears.

‘Gyaaaah! Oh my, how cute.’

So I couldn’t stand it anymore and I rubbed my cheek against what I assumed was the guy’s forehead.

Even though harsh words kept coming out of his mouth.

“This guy. He still won’t wake up? Even if he does this?”

-Tsk tsk···.

It was when I was ignoring Bin’s rough resistance as if telling him to stop, and was enthusiastically rubbing my cheek on what was presumed to be the guy’s forehead to wake him up.

“Little Dragon, you just happened to be here. Did Hwayang give you a hard time?”

Hwa-eun’s voice was heard from the open door entrance.

Judging from the mention of Hwayang’s name, it seems that Hwaeun had probably heard from someone why the morning was late.

“Oh, I was already trying to persuade you.”

“My mother was very embarrassed because there were guests.”

Even though they were guests, it wasn’t a big problem since they were a group of Samryongibong brothers, but it must have been understandable for the mother-in-law, who was in charge of the kitchen, to be flustered.

As Hwa-eun’s eyes, which were wandering around to find Hwayang, met Hwayang’s, who was watching from a corner, Hwayang quickly put his head in the corner.

I thought he was a dull boy and lacked tact, but it seems he’s not like that.

Then, Hwa-eun, with a bewildered expression on her face, approached the guy with her hands on her waist and started nagging him.

“Hwayang!”

Then, Hwayang flinched, only showing her plump butt.

Seeing that, I quickly decided to step forward and save Hwayang.

The guy’s plump butt was pitiful, and I’ve heard it too, but Hwa-eun’s nagging was so bad it made my ears bleed.

Also, if there’s one strict person in the house, wouldn’t there also need to be one goofy person like me so that the children can breathe?

“I’ve told you enough, so you probably understand.”

“No. I think I need to have a serious talk with you this time. Hwayang, look this way···.”

Hwa-eun, who doesn’t seem to have any intention of stopping nagging at me either.

To get Hwa-eun’s nerves going, he asked with a hungry expression.

“Hwa-eun, I’m hungry. Then when will breakfast be ready?”

“Ah. Little Dragon, are you hungry? Well, it’s about that time. Mom said it would take half an hour. What should I do?”

“It’s half an hour. Then, I guess I’ll have to wait.”

As expected, Hwa-eun looks worried when I say I’m hungry.

Since Hwa-eun’s nerves seemed to have returned to normal, I quickly asked her to take care of the children.

“Oh, then, would you mind taking care of the kids? While I’m at it, I’m planning on going to King Geummo’s house. Strangely, King Geummo’s house is a mess.”

“Really? The King of Geummobong?”

Hwa-eun tilted her head at the mention of King Geummobong’s house being messy, but nodded immediately.

“Okay. Okay, I’ll take care of the kids. Go ahead. Little Dragon. Okay, everyone, wake up. Kids, Dad, go ahead. Let’s do this.”

Hwa-eun quickly changes from nagging mode to newlywed mode, and quickly takes care of the children one by one.

Hwa-eun, who was now no longer touched by Eun-jam’s touch due to the boat trip, carried Mo-ji and So-ji on her shoulder, Yeon-du and Hyang-i on the other shoulder, and Bing, Seol, and Dong-i attached to the hem of her skirt, and watched me leave the residence as I did.

He even brought along the still-slightly dirty Bin.

“Have a nice trip.”

-Tsrrrr.

-Kkuku. Kkuu. Bye.

“Okay, I’ll be back, guys.”

The training ground where the house of King Geummobongwang is located, where I arrived, feeling like a father going to work.

In front of the huge old tree, I noticed quite a few golden phoenixes moving in and out of the house.

‘What’s going on?’

-widely.

As I stepped into the training grounds, the Geummobongwang guys, who are sensitive to vibrations, should have reacted, but they didn’t react at all.

As I felt curious and approached the entrance to their hive, one by one, they noticed me and flew towards me to check me out.

“How have you been? It’s been a while. I’m sorry I haven’t been here often. What’s going on?”

As I approached the entrance of the hive, talking quietly to them in case they were excited, they came up to me, sat on my shoulder, and then flew up again, repeating this.

As I crawled into the hive, weaving in between the guys coming and going, I noticed that there were many more hexagonal hives hanging than before.

‘You’ve grown quite a bit of power.’

A bigger house means it has a lot of honey stored up, and the queen bee has laid more bees to increase her power.

When I checked the bees flying outside and the bees gathered inside, I could see that the bee population had increased by about 50 percent since I first came here.

-Boooo. Boooo.

That was when.

A single bee flying down towards me among the bees and other busy bees gathered above.

A bee that was bigger and prettier than the other bees flew right in front of my nose and began hovering.

“Oh, how have you been?”

I absentmindedly greeted the queen bee, but what caught my eye was her slimmer body.

The chubby guy’s body had changed into something he never expected: slim.

“uh!?”

No, the pumpkin bee’s appearance did not change completely.

When I say slender, I don’t mean that she’s slender like a wasp, but rather that she’s slender by the standards of a pumpkin bee.

The queen bee’s stomach was thinner than usual, as if she had been dieting.

“Why did you become so thin?”

Then, as if answering my words, the guy slowly flew up and flew to where the bees were gathered, rapidly flapping his wings.

-Booooow.

A wave of bees splitting apart like the sea at the actions of the queen bee.

Between the cracks in the grass, a house much larger than the average Golden Crowned King’s house came into view.

“Huh! Could that be the King’s Pavilion!?”

The voice that burst out the moment I saw the big house.

If a honeycomb appears in a hive that is much larger than a typical honeycomb, it is clearly a queen bee.

A queen bee nest is a large house where bees raise their queen bees. The bees split open and what they saw was definitely the queen bee nest.

‘Wait a minute? Then could it be that it’s a swarm?’

With the presence of a king swarm, the hive becoming more crowded, and the queen bee becoming thinner, it was only now that we knew what was going on in the hive.

It was clear that this was going to be a disaster.

Swarming is a phenomenon that occurs when the hive they live in becomes too crowded to provide enough space for laying eggs, the queen bee becomes old, or the bees are crowded together so that not all the bees are included in the queen bee’s pheromone area.

This refers to the situation where the existing queen bee leaves the hive with some worker bees after giving birth to a new queen bee.

The queen bee felt slimmer because she had laid all of her mature eggs and was not maturing any more eggs in her stomach, which meant she was ready to fly.

As the power of this old tree grew and it became difficult to increase its power in the old tree any longer, it seemed that the queen bee was about to give birth to a new queen and take half of the worker bees with her.

‘No, there were no warning signs at all?’

I was a little taken aback because I had left the room for a while and had not had any warning signs before.

There are some warning signs that bees are about to start a swarm, but I didn’t hear any reports from the soldiers in our poison unit who were checking on the golden swarm while I was away.

Usually, when a swarm occurs in a beehive, worker bees suddenly increase in number, a large number of queens are created, a large number of bees working outside gather at the entrance to the hive, or various other warning signs appear, but even the bees who were checking the hive for abnormalities on my behalf did not detect them.

It was strange that they couldn’t detect it because they couldn’t see inside, but they must have been able to confirm some things from the outside.

‘No, this isn’t the time for me to be looking for a new house.’

I was a little flustered, but it wasn’t the time to let my guard down.

If the King of Geummobong was to be given a fief, he would have to provide a house for the elderly queen to settle down in.

It was clear that if they couldn’t prepare a home, they would just fly away to somewhere else.

If you can get a hive set up nearby, the swarm is a great opportunity to expand your hive, so you should take advantage of this opportunity.

‘Are there any other old trees nearby?’

I quickly decided to ask the warriors if there was any old tree nearby.

I don’t know if there is another tree this big, but if there is, we can kidnap the queen bee like last time, or rather, bring her here and let her settle down there.

“Wait a minute!”

It was the moment when I was about to head out of the hive to check out the guy’s house.

-Booooow!

The queen bee quickly flies in and blocks my path.

I don’t know why, but I explained the whole story to him.

“Just wait. I’ll try to find a new home. It’d be a shame if it just flew away to somewhere else.”

At that moment.

-Booooow!

A similar flapping sound was heard, and then a bee that looked exactly like the queen bee appeared right next to her.

“Huh? You were born already!?”

A new queen bee that has already been born.

I looked up at the ceiling with a surprised face, and was surprised to see that it was a throne. I noticed a hole in the throne that I hadn’t noticed before.

Somehow the kids seemed to be getting ready to leave the house.

It was so busy because a new queen bee had already been born.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Soryong.”

First of all, I greeted the new queen bee happily.

Two queen bees tremble as if laughing.

-Boom boom boom.

-Boom boom boom.

I wondered why on earth, but something felt strange, and after thinking about why I felt strange for a moment, I was able to figure out the cause of the strangeness.

The two queen bees floating in front of me were Control C and Control V.

It’s like copy and paste.

People think that all insects are similar, but these guys all have unique appearances.

The thickness and density of the hair, the length of the legs, and the shape of the head all vary from individual to individual.

The average person may not be able to tell the difference, but I can tell the difference, and there was no difference between the two.

One thing came to mind at that moment.

‘uh!?’

It occurred to me that I hadn’t seen a single bee since I brought the Golden Mob King home.

There should be at least a few drone bees in a normal hive, but there was not a single one and I had never seen one.

“no way!?”

I thought the bee I brought was a married woman’s bee…

These guys were probably practicing parthenogenesis.

“omg···.”
