8. In Search of a Furry!

“Then I’ll be counting on you, Boss.”

A bright smile.

Lee Cheol-su bowed and left.

A fresh-faced 27-year-old appearance.

Diligence that doesn’t neglect work even if his parents are wealthy.

Kindness that’s fundamentally ingrained in his nature.

When judging people in black and white terms, Lee Cheol-su definitely belonged on the good side.

But no one is perfect.

Just as psychology describes overly perfect people as unstable in reverse.

Lee Cheol-su’s hidden sexual desires move in a slightly different direction from others.

Well, that’s that.

“Wow, woah Boss. Two premiums in just one day!”

Kim Yang smiled while holding contracts in both hands.

Renea and Lee Cheol-su.

Two 5 million won contracts secured in just one day.

I told Lee Cheol-su there was no need to do it today, but he seemed grateful that I understood his preferences.

He signed the contract right away without hesitation.

And Renea too.

“He’s such a decent young man. He’ll suit me quite well.”

Renea nodded with satisfaction.

Unfortunately, elves don’t even fall within his range.

‘Or do they?’

Just in case, let me subtly test the waters.

“Now we’ll proceed with your consultation too, Ms. Renea. Do you have any specific conditions?”

“Didn’t I tell you? Someone as handsome as Cha Eun-woo, wealthy, young, and upstanding.”

“It’s not easy to be this faithful to one’s desires. Thank you for being so honest.”

At 1,901 years old, shouldn’t she know how to hide things?

“For example, what about someone like Mr. Lee Cheol-su just now?”

“I like him. He’s young for starters, and his looks are decent too.”

“Hmm, what if your spouse had unusual sexual preferences?”

“….”

Renea makes a bewildered expression.

But I pretend to be calm and add matter-of-factly.

“This is quite important. We often have clients who want someone who can satisfy them sexually.”

This isn’t a lie, it’s true.

There were actually clients who said it was okay as long as the sex was good.

“Yes, for example?”

“For example… animal cosplay?”

“Ah, that much is possible! Meow!”

The 1,901-year-old grandmother immediately imitates a cat.

I take it one step further.

“Then for example, what if they told you to live completely like an animal? To wear animal hide on your head and howl like an animal.”

“…Wouldn’t they report it to the police?”

Is this the wisdom of experience?

How wise.

“What if, just what if.”

“Oh my, even so, I don’t think that would work. No matter what, being told to become a beast…”

But don’t elves live with beasts in the Forest?

Aren’t they essentially beasts that can talk?

“But what if the man had 3 billion in assets?”

“Should I start practicing walking on all fours from now?”

The queen immediately transforms into a beast.

I like that she can ruthlessly abandon her pride for a good man.

‘Of course, it won’t work out though.’

Lee Cheol-su is, from what I can see, the real deal among the real deals.

Since there’s no room for compromise, he came here even after filtering out other Large Marriage Information Companies.

We accept everyone.

“Nyaang! Nyaang!”

“Paw.”

Anyway.

Leaving behind Renea imitating a cat and Kim Yang indulging her by calling it cute, I took out my mobile phone.

‘A beastkin.’

Realistically, going up to the Old Murim on the 5th Floor has its limits.

It costs a tremendous amount of money.

In the end, I’ll have to find someone on the 3rd Floor.

Fortunately, I’m a capable boss who has an employee prepared for times like this.

“Kim Yang.”

“What?”

“Where in Seoul do beastkin gather the most?”

A famous influencer, no less.

She must know the streets that are hot among young people.

“B-Boss.”

But Kim Yang answered with a dark expression.

“I don’t go to places where young people hang out.”

“…”

“B-Boss is an old man.”

“I’m still in my twenties.”

“Really?”

Surprised Kim Yang looked me up and down and added a comment.

“Dress up a bit.”

“…”

* * *

Itaewon.

As always.

The most liberal neighborhood in Seoul.

From the moment the sun sets and the neon lights turn on, this place can no longer be called the 3rd Floor.

The air of other worlds seeping out from every corner of the streets.

At the entrance of bars, Old Murim 5th Floor Warriors are drinking heavily.

Right next to them, at a food truck, the Orc Chef’s Spicy Seasoned Hot Dog fills the air with its aroma.

Streets filled with various noises.

A place where each noise carries its own culture.

This was Itaewon.

“B-Boss. Hurry up.”

Kim Yang’s steps as she led the way with familiarity were excited.

She says she comes here sometimes with friends, but she seems quite familiar for it to be just “sometimes.”

The fortunate thing is that I’m not the only one feeling flustered.

Renea, who’s gripping my sleeve to avoid getting separated, is accompanying us.

“The 3rd Floor is really d-dizzying.”

“So why did you follow us…”

“B-but! I need to see how young people have fun to pretend to be young, don’t I!”

“Don’t forget our purpose. We came here to find beastfolk.”

If the face is human, they’re beastkin.

If the face is animal, they’re beastfolk.

Beastfolk were basically furries in internet terms.

“D-don’t worry. But is it because Merakl is a small company that you have to run around on foot like this? Ah, I don’t mean anything bad by it.”

But I do feel bad about it?

It’s supposedly to hide Lee Cheol-su’s preferences, but it’s not entirely wrong either.

Where else would you find a boss working this hard for just one customer?

‘Because we don’t have any other customers coming.’

I just do my best whenever there’s an opportunity.

Walking down the street, I see long lines of people at bars and clubs.

I’m looking around curiously when Kim Yang gestures to me.

“B-Boss. Over here.”

I’m following Kim Yang who said there’s a club that many beastkin frequent.

Surprisingly, there were several people who recognized Kim Yang.

Though they didn’t acknowledge him like it was an unspoken rule.

【Howling Lounge】

Howling Lounge.

A club sign written in stylish letters.

It really seems like a club made specifically for beastkin, as most of those waiting in line are beastkin.

We came to the right place.

I can also see a few of the wild types that client Lee Cheol-su wants, though they’re in the minority.

I was about to get in line, but as soon as the guard at the entrance sees Kim Yang, he clears the way.

“Good evening.”

“Ah, hello there.”

The guard even smiled and let Kim Yang’s awkward 3rd Floor speech slide. They seem to have some kind of friendship.

A thick arm blocks my path as I follow behind.

“Sorry, but you can’t enter, sir.”

“Excuse me?”

When I ask back in confusion, he gestures with his chin.

“Look at your clothes.”

“What about my clothes.”

I came here in my work clothes.

I did dress pretty casually.

“Either way, entry is not allowed.”

There’s no compromise.

Kim Yang, who had been watching this, links her arm with mine while wearing a faint sneer on her lips.

“My boyfriend.”

“Huh? Boyfriend? The one you often mentioned? He really exists?”

“Yeah, so we’re going in.”

“Of course. Please go in.”

Thanks to pretending to be Kim Yang’s boyfriend, I was able to get inside.

There are quite a few things that feel disgusting, but the most annoying thing is that I got banned from entering when even the 1,901-year-old Grandmother didn’t.

“Puhuh, ah that can happen. It certainly can. You’ve truly lived a life for others, haven’t you? Seeing how you couldn’t even take care of yourself.”

Grandmother starts teasing me while patting my back.

Even Kim Yang is holding back laughter, and though I want to argue back, I can’t since the results speak for themselves.

‘Ah, I should have just accepted when Kim Yang offered to do Styling for me.’

Coming here carelessly, asking what’s the big deal, was a mistake.

“Let go of this.”

I try to pull my hand away, but Kim Yang grips even tighter.

“B-Boss. This is a Leash.”

“Hey.”

“I-If you wander around alone carelessly, you’ll get kicked out again.”

“Hey!”

“Puhaha! That’s right, exactly! Stick close together! That’s how-!”

“Excuse me.”

Just then, a man suddenly interrupts from behind. A Horse Beastkin with horse-shaped ears.

Earrings and Piercings and such.

The kind of face that clearly frequents places like this.

His appearance isn’t too bad either.

‘About B-grade? Depending on his job, he could drop to C.’

Grading and judging people is a bad habit.

Still, it’s like an occupational disease for me.

Even when I’m not working, I try not to do it, but it’s not easy.

Surprisingly, it was Renea that the horse beastkin had approached.

“If you don’t mind, would you like to have a drink with us? We saw at the entrance that you seemed to be alone?”

“Huh? Huh? Huh?”

Kim Yang, who was linking arms with me.

Since Renea was alone, he naturally assumed she didn’t have a man.

‘Well, something like this won’t change her grade.’

Sorry, but getting hit on at a club doesn’t really correlate with marriage grade.

It’s not like Renea, who’s F-grade due to her age, would suddenly jump to E-grade just because she got hit on.

‘Still, she seemed to want romance and stuff like that, so maybe it’s not bad?’

He’s the handsome man she so desperately wanted. Though he falls far short compared to Cha Eun-woo, he’s not bad to that extent.

But Renea herself is hanging her head low, not knowing what to do.

“I, I, I am… that thing-.”

“I? Haha, cute. What’s your name?”

That guy’s a player.

He’s playing around with Grandmother.

Kim Yang and I were watching, supporting our client’s vigorous romantic activities.

“I, I have a boyfriend!”

She suddenly grabbed my other arm and linked it with hers.

“Ah, what the…”

I was about to say something out of disbelief, but I could feel the arm holding me trembling.

“What? Boyfriend?”

The man stares directly at me.

Seeing me with two women on either side, he clicks his tongue and heads back to his group of friends.

“Fuck, if you’re rich, go to the lounge and get a private room to play.”

I must have looked like a man playing around with two women using my wealth.

Conversely, does that mean it doesn’t make sense otherwise?

Even though the man has left, Renea is still clinging tightly to me.

It was Kim Yang who got annoyed.

“Ugh, because of Grandmother, I became a woman who got two-timed. I’m a sheep beastkin though.”

“Your jokes have improved? You’re not worried about Boss and only thinking about your image?”

Kim Yang grumbles that she became a woman who got two-timed.

But Kim Yang shrugs her shoulders.

“Bo, Boss benefits.”

Fine, let’s stop talking.

In the meantime, having recovered, Renea wipes off her cold sweat and acts proud.

“Phew! I overcame that scoundrel-like guy. Hurry up and praise me.”

“What do you mean when I spoonfed it into your mouth but you couldn’t eat it and spat it out?”

“….”

“Sigh, forget it. Well, I didn’t come here today because of you, Renea.”

Anyway, I enter the Club interior with both of them linking arms with me.

Every now and then, Renea beside me-.

“Alcohol? You should meet at least ten times for that.”

“For a first meeting, you should walk through the Forest or sit together on a tree.”

“It should be the third time before you hold hands-.”

She kept muttering like that, but I ignored her.

Like that, at the end of the Corridor, we arrived inside.

This was my first time at a Club, so Kim Yang immediately explained.

“Th, that’s the Main Floor. DJ. Dance. I’m, I’m often there.”

Among the dancing customers, there are quite a few wild types that I’m looking for.

“Dr, drinking and conversation are also possible.”

Next, she pointed to the Bar.

Cocktail, Beer, Whiskey, etc.

That area has a slightly quieter atmosphere.

It seems like when people get tired from dancing, they rest there.

“La, lastly there are Private Rooms too. Don’t look there. Mo, money gets totally wrecked.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

“B-Boss. Let’s go dancing.”

“Are you crazy? Don’t you know why we came here?”

“…To dance?”

This is ridiculous.

“We came here to work. Work. You go find some beastkin folks. Renea, you can do whatever you want.”

“Don’t leave me alone here! I absolutely won’t leave your side!”

Renea clings to me tightly with a tearful expression.

If she was going to act like this, why did she even come?

Kim Yang also pouts her lips and asks.

“Th-then. Night shift pay?”

“Go have fun.”

“Yay.”

Kim Yang grabs Renea and pulls her along.

“C-come on, let’s go together. I’ll teach you.”

“Huh?! N-no! I’m scared! What if some strange man suddenly talks to me again?”

“Wh-when that happens, just say you have a boyfriend. I-I do that every time. I always use Boss as an excuse.”

What?

I heard something absurd, but Kim Yang disappeared into the crowd with Renea as if running away.

I went straight to the bar instead, and there was one woman who immediately caught my eye.

Face of a leopard.

Her figure was healthy and sleek, and the way she swayed her tail gently suggested she was waiting for someone.

‘Looks like she’s working the floor.’

But I’m confident.

My client Lee Cheol-su just has unique tastes, but in other aspects he’s quite excellent.

I take out a business card from my pocket.

I immediately go and sit in the seat next to her.

“Excuse me.”

“…?”

Leopard Woman looks me up and down, then waves her hand dismissively as if she has no interest.

I immediately hand her my business card, clarifying that this isn’t a pickup attempt.

“Actually, I’m someone who does this kind of work.”

When I hand her the business card, Leopard Woman glances at it and chuckles.

“Is this how it’s done these days?”

“Excuse me?”

“Don’t worry about it. I know everything there is to know.”

She grins slyly without even looking at the business card on the table.

“I’m in the business too. Shall we go right away?”

“No, what are you talking about?”

While I’m flustered.

“You’re quite the actor, aren’t you?”

Leopard Woman suddenly grabs my wrist, yanks it forward, and makes me touch her chest.

“?!”

“How about it? Do you understand now?”

A soft chest that feels warm in my grasp.

But that wasn’t what was important.

“Huh?”

This… what am I feeling here?
