Episode 27 – No. 103, Room of the Curse – ‘Animal Farm’ (1)
[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 10
Current location: Tier 1, Room 103 (Curse Room – Animal Farm)
Sage Advice: 3]
The first evening of farm life.
According to what we have learned as much as we can about the surrounding situation, it is as follows.
1. A family of four, consisting of Brian/Amy and Peter/May, one son and one daughter, reside on the farm.
2. I (black cow), Yoo Song-i (goose), Elena (dog), and Kim Ari (cat) are the farm’s livestock or pets.
3. Cha Jin-cheol (wild boar), Kim Muk-seong (mice), Park Seung-yeop (wolf), and Lee Eun-sol (snake) are the four wild animals around the farm.
Of course, it was Elena and Ari to a large extent who uncovered these facts.
In fact, there was nothing I could do since I had been locked in the barn ever since I became a black cow!
Also, in the process of using KakaoTalk, where the ‘volume of conversation’ is extremely limited,
Everyone automatically mastered the conversation method of including only essential keywords.
Rat King (silent voice): Everyone is nervous. danger will arise
Goyang Kim (Ari): I watch over you at night.
Elmeongmeong (Elena): I check during the week
Black Cow (Gain): Can’t go out.
Songgeowi (Songi): I can’t go out either.
Piglet (Jincheol): A rat is pulled out of his head.
Rat King (silent voice): Consideration of movement efficiency.
Piglet (Jincheol): I want to headbutt him.
Smart Snake (Eunsol): No wasting time
Wolf Boy (Seungyeop): Can I sleep?
Smart Bam (Eunsol): Let’s just sleep and check tomorrow.
Everyone is jealous. Everyone is very active, saying that I will watch over them at night, that I will do it during the day, and how they will move around.
There’s nothing I can do in the barn except mutter.
I sighed heavily and forced my eyes to close.
Fortunately, after becoming a cow, the grass was delicious.
—————————
The sunset sets.
The sun slowly lost its light, and darkness fell over the entire farm.
Finally, I felt vitality throughout my body. It’s a natural thing.
Because I am a cat.
I got out of the small basket that was probably given to me as my bed and wandered around the farm.
The atmosphere of the farm was somehow strange.
There are four people and an enormous number of livestock. There are also eight intelligent animals.
Of course, it is an environment where noise is inevitable…
Strangely enough, as night fell, the entire farm became quiet.
Roughly speaking, I was about to go out of the family’s living space where I was staying when I was grabbed by the back of my neck.
“oh! ari. You can’t go out at night! “Don’t you know that goblins are coming out?”
Oh, really, even though it’s a cat’s body now, it’s so unpleasant to have its neck lifted and stuffed into a basket.
Part of me wanted to scratch the owner’s daughter’s arm mercilessly, but I held back because I felt like I had to act like a good cat to feel freer.
As I waited patiently in the basket and watched, I eventually noticed that May had fallen asleep in her bed as well.
I can finally go out now.
By the way, what is a ‘goblin’? Did he simply mean not to go out at night?
You can only find out about this when you actually go out there.
I carefully walked with my feet up and went out the window.
Sitting on the window sill and looking out at the farm doesn’t feel particularly special…
As expected, it’s unusually quiet, isn’t it? The moment you think about it.
A dim yet dark figure walks outside.
I can guarantee that it is absolutely not a human being, nor is it a domestic animal.
Because humans aren’t that big, and livestock don’t walk on two legs.
The height is approximately 5m to 6m, but the shape is blurry so we cannot be sure.
Overall, it appears to be something humanoid.
Is that a ‘goblin’? Fortunately, the goblins didn’t wander around the inside of the farm or anything.
I just look here and there indifferently, as if observing something.
Even though I look at them openly from the window sill, they don’t seem to be aware of me at all.
There is more information to share tomorrow.
If this is the case, wouldn’t I have done roughly what I had to do today?
Maybe it’s because I’ve become a cat, but I feel like I want to sleep like a cat.
I didn’t feel the need to do anything more, so I decided to sleep for now.

Sage Advice: 3]
Rat King (silent voice): Monsters only appear at night?
Goyang Kim (Ari): ㅇㅇ Risk not confirmed
Smart Snake (Eunsol): Any other information?
Goyang Kim (Ari): x
Elmeongmeong (Elena): Good work. Now I gather information
Werewolf Boy (Seungyeop): There are many other wolves.
Piglet (Jincheol): Maybe a wolf will attack the farm?
Wolf Boy (Seungyeop): I will watch over the wolf pack.
Rat King (silent voice): Me and the pig are searching for an escape route.
Smart Snake (Eunsol): I watch around the farm.
Heukwoo (Gain): Good job everyone
Songgeowi (Songi): Thank you
After the simple conversation ended, Elena felt her strength increase without her knowledge.
Each person’s role has been roughly decided.
Ari Kim (Cat): Gathering information at night
Elena (dog): Weekly information collection
Cha Jin-cheol (Wild Boar) – Kim Muk-seong (Rat): Searching for an escape route
Park Seung-yeop (Wolf): Understanding wolf pack trends
Eunsol Lee (Snake): Surveillance around the farm
Since Song-i and Ga-in were locked up, it was impossible for them to play any role right now.
ah! Now it’s my turn.
Honestly, how sorry I was that last time in Room 102, Mansion of Horror, I ended up dying on the first day without doing anything.
Although I didn’t say it, my heart ached when I heard the stories of Ga-in and Eunsol’s hardships.
Fortunately, unlike other people who play livestock or wild animals and whose actions are limited, I am a golden retriever!
If it’s a cat at night, isn’t it a dog during the day?
We pledged to actively collect information and help everyone.
What is the start of the operation? Wouldn’t it be nice to be loved first?
It’s the way of the world that everyone becomes less wary of someone they love and will do so no matter what.
As an adorable golden retriever, I licked the palm of Brian, who was busy organizing the farm fence.
“Oh my, Elena, it’s a little dangerous here. Hehe, so kind, kind. “Go to your mom~”
Brian stroked my head and nudged me, pointing towards Amy.
If I do this a few times, everyone will like me.
But… what kind of information should we collect?
Ariya, I saw a goblin as soon as night fell, but I didn’t really see a monster and I didn’t know what to do.
After that, I wandered around for over 3 hours.
Honestly, it’s not that difficult. If you just wag your tail and wag, food will appear in front of you and everyone will pat your head.
The life of a beloved dog is easy.
As I walk around, I see Brian and Amy talking about something serious.
“Let’s pluck some geese sometime in the evening. It seems like a few of them have enough fur.”
“I don’t think it’s time to sell well yet… Wouldn’t it be better to wait a bit?”
“If I wait, will the price go up? “It’s better to pick things up and sell them at the right time.”
“Then let me tell Peter.”
Roughly something like this. It’s an ordinary farm conversation.
I guess so… As I was thinking about it, it suddenly occurred to me.
Songi is a goose?
Apparently, as far as I know, goose feathers are ripped off alive, and some of the geese die as a result.
What should I do with this? Let’s start talking together first.
Elmeongmeong (Elena): Emergency Emergency
Rat King (silent voice): What’s going on?
Elmeongmeong (Elena): Goose fur plucking tomorrow
Song goose (Songi): Yessssss???????????????
Smart Snake (Eunsol): Are there any measures to keep things quiet?
Goyang Kim (Ari): Do you hide in the corner when you go to get your hair pulled?
Rat King (silent voice): If you are hiding, you will probably choose another goose.
Elmeongmeong (Elena): Follow me just in case.
Songgeowi (Songi): Please, everyone help me…
Black Cow (Gain): Mmmmmmmmmmm
The general conversation is over.
First, when you go to pluck the goose, encourage Songi to hide in a corner and catch another goose.
Nevertheless, if Brian tries to pick a pine tree…
I have to try something. Now it’s time to pay off the debt that we didn’t do anything about in room 102.
Smart Bam (Eunsol): What else did you find out?
Rat King (silent voice): The forest is ridiculously large.
Piglet (Jincheol): No matter how many times we go, there is no end. Request to change nickname.
Wolf Boy (Seungyeop): Wolves are hunting deer nearby.
Black Cow (Gain): Mmmmmmmmm!
Smart Snake (Eunsol): Cows are prohibited from wasting type.
Has it been about three hours since everyone performed their roles in silence and tension?
I felt that evening time was slowly approaching.
Suddenly I’m curious. The farm couple pours me feed at every meal,
What are other people doing…
If you ask, you’ll likely hear sad stories about them eating bugs and small animals. It would be better not to ask.
Rather than that, it is important to protect the songi from the goose fur plucking that will occur in the evening.
In the long run, we have to somehow resolve this situation… To be honest, I don’t have any clue about it yet.
Right now, the only way to survive is to protect each person one by one.
As the dog was just watching the owner’s family while eating or drinking food, the couple and their son, Peter, naturally got up.
It’s now! She was afraid that if she chased after her, she would lock her in her room, so she approached her cautiously.
If you get caught, just lick your hand with your tongue. Then you will see it.
and…
I really planned a little plan with Seungyeop just in case.
I feel really relieved now. In Room 103, I definitely need to hear everyone thank me for my performance.
