THE NOVEL'S EXTRA

C113. Truth (2)


I returned home before it was too late in the night.

As soon as I opened the door, Evandel and Hayang ran up to me. By now, I was used to Evandel’s ‘Hajin Hajin’ and Hayang’s meowing.

I hugged the two children and sat down on the couch.

I bought an animated movie, which I promised Evandel, and put it on TV.

Evandel and Hayang both became silent the moment the film distributors logo popped up on screen.

No matter how much I thought about it, Hayang’s intelligence seemed to be at the level of humans. Not only did she refuse to eat normal cat food, she knew to be absolutely obedient to this household’s ruler – me.

“...Wait a minute.”

Suddenly, I caught sight of the ring on my finger and Hayang’s wagging tail.

I had a strange idea.

Who said only humans could wear rings?

===

[Homer’s Ring] [Artifact] [Awakened]

A ring that was worn by Homer in the past.

Resonates with nature and endows its wearer with a crystal clear energy

「Intelligence Increase – increases the wearer’s intelligence by 0.001 points every 24 hours up to a maximum of 0.365 points.」

「High rank Magic Power Amplification」

===

Out of curiosity, I modified the ring’s setting.

「Intelligence Increase – increases the wearer’s intelligence by 0.001 points every 24 hours up to a maximum of 0.365 points.」

「For one selected non-human target, the increase becomes 0.01 point per 12 hours.」

[40 SP will be used.]

“Huh? This works?”

I tried calculating in my head.

With 0.02 points per day, 18 days were enough to obtain the maximum stat increase.

Plus, the required SP was small.

...What if I got rid of the non-human part?

「The rate of intelligence increase will double for the first person who wears it.」

[250 SP will be used.]

The required SP was 250. It seemed the gap between a human and an animal was big.

“...Hm.”

I fell into thought for a moment.

The cost was 40 SP and 18 days’ worth of time.

Would Hayang be able to help me more if she was smarter?

I looked at Hayang who was in Evandel’s arms.

Although she might not be able to help me, she should be able to help Evandel.

...It probably wouldn’t hurt.

I put the ring on Hayang’s tail.

Hayang turned and looked at me, then found the ring on her tail.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.... She stared at the ring fixedly, then wagged her tail, seemingly satisfied by the ring’s sparkle.
