Lee Dae-hwi, the otter of Noble Star
Episode 1


So Dae-hwi searched for a long time and went into the second year class.

담임선생님
Okay, so...

"Drunk!"

학생들
What is that..?

학생들
Did you come in the wrong class?

The students started whispering as soon as Dae-hwi arrived.

담임선생님
Ah, a transfer student...


이대휘
Yes..hello..my name is Lee Dae-hwi!

학생들
Oh, look at the polite speech..

학생들
It's so funny...

담임선생님
Hey! Be quiet over there.

담임선생님
Okay, my name is Lee Dae-hwi, and I'll be hanging out with you guys from now on. Be close.


이대휘
ah..!

At that time, Dae-hwi's tail appeared at an untimely moment.

선생님
Why are you like that, Daehwi?


이대휘
No..

담임선생님
...Okay, then sit over there.

Daehwi covered his tail with his hand.

But then someone approached Dae-hwi.


김여주
hi..!


이대휘
.....


이대휘
hi...

Daehwi was on guard. It was his first time seeing a human.

Even the tail was sticking out and it was talking.


김여주
What's wrong with you?


이대휘
Wh..what..?


김여주
Why are you putting your hand on your butt!


이대휘
Just!! It's nothing..!!


김여주
Suddenly the voice got louder...what's going on?

At that time, Daehwi's tail went in.


이대휘
Hey..look behind you, there's nothing there!


김여주
Yeah...


이대휘
Don't talk to me anymore


김여주
Be my friend!


이대휘
.....

Daehwi thought it would be a good idea to make human friends to learn a little more about Earth.


이대휘
..then


김여주
So we're friends?


이대휘
Hey, friend


김여주
Where do you live?


이대휘
Me? No, I live alone!


김여주
Nubble..?


이대휘
No, I lived in a town called Nubble last time!!


김여주
Ah..but why do you live alone?


이대휘
Ah..well..that's..


김여주
Did he pass away?


이대휘
Ah..? Ah..uh!!


김여주
omg...


이대휘
....


이대휘
Don't you have any other friends?


김여주
there is!


김여주
But since I'm in a different class, I go alone


이대휘
ah...

'Tiring!'


김여주
Hey! It's over, see you later!

The class continued like that, and Yeoju came to visit during every break.

And so the class ended..

담임선생님
Okay, class president!


황은비
Tea ceremony, baptism, offering, greeting!

학생들
good bye!


김여주
Daehwi, are you going home?


이대휘
..huh

At that time, Dae-hwi's ears came out.

'Snap!'

Daehwi quickly covered his ears with his hands.


김여주
I thought there was something there earlier...


이대휘
What? I'll go!


김여주
uh..?

So Dae-hwi ran quickly.


김여주
...Is it like that originally..?


김여주
Daehwi, where are you!?


이대휘
Oh, what is it? When did the tail come out?

'Bang!'


수달로 변한 대휘
Oh my... I turned into an otter...! Who would report me if I did this...

Half-human, half-beast people can also freely transform into animals.

But Daehwi can't turn into a human yet, so it's impossible.


김여주
Hey, is this Dae-hwi? I heard it earlier..


김여주
No...


김여주
Wow, it's an otter!


수달로 변한 대휘
Beep..ee..ik!

When half-human, half-beast creatures turn into animals and speak, humans hear them as animal sounds.


뮤하(작가)
Oh, and otters make a sound similar to "peek!" If you search for "otter cry" on Naver, you'll find more details!


김여주
Shouldn't I report this to the zoo?


수달로 변한 대휘
Beep!! (Don't do it!!)


김여주
Are you saying you don't like it?


김여주
Ah! Then I'll raise you!


수달로 변한 대휘
Beep? (Huh?)

Cats and dogs are fine, but it is illegal to take animals that can only live in zoos like this one.


뮤하(작가)
In other countries, you can raise pet tigers, otters, etc. Why is Korea like that?


수달로 변한 대휘
Beep! (No!)


김여주
Good? Then let's go!

The heroine carried Dae-hwi, who had turned into an otter.

Daehwi struggled but failed.


수달로 변한 대휘
What do I do now..

Daehwi was gradually changing into a human being.


김여주
Otter! Wait a minute, I'll give you something!


수달로 변한 대휘
Beep..(Ah..)
