The sky of the Spirit System is painted with pastel tones.
A space that feels like a fairytale.
The wind blows and the grass moves with it.
Duck room.
A lower spirit flies over the field.
She wanders around looking for something.
It was because of my homework at the Spirit School.
A homework assignment that tells you to bring something called ‘happiness’.
…….
At school.
Happiness is warm, cozy, and I feel better, so I can’t help but smile, but I wondered if such things exist in the world.
Mmm.
The lower spirit rests for a moment and closes its eyes with a gust of wind.

Relaxing weekend.
The morning star walked toward the electric furnace operating on the side of the living room. The warm energy felt when you stand in front of a hot heating element, with a pink sensitivity. The star roams around the stove, wondering if the electric stove was weird.
“You’re a dog, right?”
“It’s called a stove.”
“Kyung-na.”
A time when I have a lot of questions.
“It’s warm.”
The stars began to fall asleep as soon as they sat down.
While reading, Joon got up from his seat, put the furnace down a little so that the baby wouldn’t hit his head on the stove, and then sat back down.
JooJoon thought about what he would make for dinner tonight.
I think it’s winter, so a hot soup dish would be nice.
I have to go shopping at the market tonight.
.
“You have to be back by 3: 00 to go to the market with your dad. Do you understand?”
JooJoon told me that he was going to play outside and help prepare for the star to come out.
Today it snowed and was quite cold, so I put on the long padding. Even though the total length was not more than 60 centimeters, the star wore it, so it was good to look just below the knee.
JooJoon even put earplugs on the stars, and he filled his wallet with 5,000 won secretly.
The star smiles brightly and gives you a big nod when you say you’re going to the market.
* * *
A sleeping lower spirit awakens.
However, I looked around and noticed a strange environment.
A world covered in white snow, not always with pastel tones.
The lower spirit realized that this was the only place he had ever heard of, and immediately decided to return to the spirit system and quit. Maybe we can find happiness here.
At that moment.
I can see someone coming from the alley entrance.
It was a human baby. No, it felt a little different to be human.
I could see that I could sense a rare, pure and clear energy in the Spirit Realm.
Hey, how are you?
Say hello.
The baby blinks and looks at himself.
And then he got a little closer and he looked at himself.
With a smile! and replied.
“Hot!”
Stars reminded me of what the teacher taught me at the children’s home recently.
When you meet someone you’ve never met, it’s polite to introduce yourself first!
For this moment, I took the ‘about myself card’ that I had written in the children’s home from my wallet and started reading it out loud.
“Aren’t you a bird? I’m a kid. I am three years old. My hobby is reading. The dwelling place of the ashes is the Villa 3 0 1, which is the northern outskirts of Seoul. What’s your name,” Bread Dog “or” Bird “?”
The star that reads to the end without making a mistake in pronunciation.
At that moment, I was so happy that I held out my hand. After writing my introduction card, it was rewarding to practice every day.
I see. But I don’t have a name… You can call me Lesser Spirit.
A lesser spirit said in a clumsy manner.
At that moment, the star became a little sad.
It’s sad not to have a name.
Don’t worry too much.A lower spirit doesn’t have a name.
“…. Writing Kuna.”
The star drops its head.
A lower spirit stared at such a star.
Do you think you could help me?
I’m looking for something called happiness.
.
The star went into town with the lower spirit.
And I stopped in front of a bookstore because I saw Cyrillic through the window. Cyril was reading a comic book in front of a bookshelf display. There was a stack of comic books next to him, and his expression was bright.
Daughter.
A star walks into a bookstore.
“Kili Kid!”
“Oh! Baby!”
Cyril finds the star, drops the comic book, reaches out to the baby and rubs his cheeks. The star blinks and shows no reaction. However, Kiriel doesn’t let go of the star’s cheek, and as he continues to wriggle like a toy, the star’s eyes begin to sag.
“If I don’t get angry, I’ll be damned! Khh!”
Kiriel gives up bolting.
“What are you doing here?”
He said, “It’s okay.”
“One.” Like what? This body will find you. ”
“It’s a dress code.”
Cyril scratches her head and stares at the lower spirit.
Happiness was very abstract and did not refer to anything.
At that time, the lower spirit pointed to the comic book that Cyrillic was holding.
Is that happiness?
Kiriel ponders for a moment, then nods.
“Happiness to this body.”
The lower spirit touched the comic book.
But it wasn’t warm or cozy to say happiness.
I don’t think this is it.
Later, stars and lower spirits roamed the city and met many people.
The lower spirit searched for something warm and cozy and feeling better, but couldn’t find a match at all.
* * *
“Huh?”
He could see someone coming along with the stars.
It was a spirit. From the size and appearance of it, I learned it was a lower spirit at once.
The lower spirit nodded in greeting as he looked at the target. JooJoon’s existence in the spirit system was already too famous. It was because he had a thick friendship with the Spirit King, Ragheim, and the Spirit Affinity was as high as Ragheim.
Hi, there.
Joon smiled.
“Yes.”
At 3pm.
Joon was starting to go to the market for dinner.
Take a coat and stand up on top of the sweater you are wearing.
“Do you want to go to the market with me?”
The market?
“It’s a place to sell things.”
The lower spirit gives a moment’s thought.
Are you happy there?
.
After a long time, JooJooJoon visited Dongdaemun Market and walked the market.
A crowded marketplace. A lower spirit flew by Tujun and captured the scenery. Food ingredients such as meat, fish, vegetables, and seafood were mixed and a unique aroma floated around my nose. But I didn’t hate it. I’m just curious.
“Hello.”
“Yes! Welcome!”
The first place I visited was a meat wholesale.
The middle-aged man in short sleeves greets you despite the cold weather.
The star blinked at the fact that the beef was going in tonight. The shopkeeper saw a star like that.
“Your daughter is so cute!”
“Thank you.”
JooJoon smiled brightly.
“Can I have 300 grams of spinach for the shaving, please?”
“Yes!”
The shop owner took out the refrigerated meat and weighed it on the scale.
The star jumped into place and told the shopkeeper wrapping Hanwoo’s backbone.
“A little beef jerky. Aha!”
The shopkeeper heard it.
Puhaha! You smiled.
“Your daughter’s skills are unusual. Here, I’ll give you lots of meat especially!”
The shopkeeper raised 200 grams more.
He stroked the head of the star.
“Thank you. You should.”
The star said hello.
“Mmm-hmm!”
“Cute kid. What’s your name?”
“It’s a child.”
JooJoon smiled.
…….
The Lesser Spirit is a short distance away.
The landscape was as big as a picture.
I look around, and the faces of the people I saw walking through the streets of the market were full of laughter.
* * *
I bought all the ingredients for the Beef Mushroom Cone.
Six species were enough to enter the bones.
Meat, mushrooms, tofu, basil, noodles, zucchini, etc. Suddenly, JooJoon’s hand was full of luggage. Though I would have been only half of this burden if I was alone, the marketplace merchants were very fond of stars, so they were able to receive many services.
“Oh, a bird that won’t lose!”
“Haha. Come again next time!”
Before you go home.
I bought two steamed buns at a store called Hometown Bread.
The star begins to grumble, holding a steamed bun in both hands.
JooJoon looks at the lower spirit and grabs some steamed bread.
“Here, try it.”
…….
The lower spirit received steamed bread.
It was torn apart, but it was bigger than a lower spirit’s face.
I grabbed some steamed bread from a lower spirit and tried to eat it.
It looks quite appetizing.
“We’re going to have dinner, so don’t eat too much.”
.
After returning home, JooJooJoon washed the stars and lower spirits and began preparing dinner.
The stars brought the lower spirit to the front of the electric furnace. It was aligned with the first stage, so the moderately warm temperature warmed the lower spirit.
Boggle boggle.
The lower spirit looks toward the kitchen.
JooJoon was boiling his porridge with ingredients from the market.
White steam rises in the vent. In addition, the delicious aroma wrapped around the tip of my nose.
“Come to dinner.”
White rice.
Beef Mushroom Anthony.
Cabbage kimchi and other side dishes.
JooJoon cut a small plate for the lower spirit and dipped the bones in edible sizes.
…….
Warm family.
Warm soup.
The lower spirit had eaten all the relics he had stored on the plate.
I was cozy. I felt better. The lower spirit was embarrassed by the feeling I had never experienced before. I didn’t think my mouth would come down.
“Was it good?”
…… Yes.
“You can come anytime you want to eat again.”
Any time?
“Of course.”
The words of Jooju felt so cozy.
The lower spirit thought, maybe this is happiness.
“Oh, and….”
* * *
Ragheim served as the principal of the school in the spirit world.
Recently, she gave a homework to bring happiness to the lower spirits, and was slowly looking at the happiness the spirits brought.
“Last but not least……. A diary?”
Unlike other lower spirits, it was a bit unusual.
Ragheim reads what is written on the paper.
“Oh, my.”
A lesser spirit unleashed what had happened on Earth.
Meeting the stars and wandering around the city. I went to the market, bought dinner ingredients, ate steamed bread on the way back to Joon’s house, warmed my hearth, bathed, and had a delicious dinner.
And the important thing is,
“… You named her?”
Targets are for lower spirits.
I named him “Seiren.”
Ragheim twitches his chin and reads the diary again.
A smile spread over her mouth.
Seiren.
It means “happiness” in the language of the Spirit System.
