3. Employment Contract • • How long had I been trapped in the cage? I stopped thrashing around in panic and forced myself to breathe. ‘When does the circus end?’ The cage was silent. There wasn’t a single sound you’d expect near a circus on a summer night… no rustling grass, no wind, no people talking, not even the buzzing of insects. ‘How is it this soundproof?’ Because that girl had covered the entrance of the shack with the tent cloth so neatly, I couldn’t even…-

13. Circus Relocation • • When the Ringmaster appeared, the chaos fell into silence. Even the beasts who never listened to the tamer closed their jaws obediently. The Ringmaster adjusted the strap of his eyepatch and glared at me. " Explain." Until now, no one had actually listened to my explanation. Finally, I had the chance to speak. " I was feeding Samdu, and the smell was so sweet that…" " Sweet?" His brow tightened even more. " So I tried a little." I couldn’t…-

14. Clerical Error • • Small Hell Circus. I lamented the fact that it had only been ten days since I started working here as an assistant. Today, when Samdu returned from his eighth walk and stepped into the cage, he immediately breathed fire. Of course, it was Yellow. “Here, food.” Then, with practiced movements, I filled the bowl and pushed it inside the cage. I’d gotten pretty used to it by now. Taking him on a life-risking walk once a day and feeding him twice a day…-

15. Deodorizing Work • • His breath touched my skin. I flinched from the ticklish sensation and hunched my left shoulder, pushing at him with both hands on reflex. But he didn’t budge. Just like Kiss, the ringmaster was impossibly strong. After a moment, when I finally stopped resisting, he pressed his face deeper against my neck, and his lips touched the skin there. “Ringmaster?” I could understand the mouth-to-mouth part for removing the scent, but this was different.…-

16. Making a List • • ‘When did they finish eating?’ I cooled my face with my hand and refilled the bowls, and as if they’d been waiting, they shoved their heads in and ate with loud, happy chomps. They really eat well. Red had already finished his food even though I’d just given it a moment ago, and he tried to steal Yellow’s bowl, only to get headbutted. ‘They act like that, but all the food ends up in the same stomach anyway.’ Letting out a long sigh, I rested…-

11. Wish to Escape • • While the circus was wrapping up, I was a bit out of my mind. It was only natural; the chase through the forest had left a far stronger impact than this insane circus ever could. Even when Kiss hovered over me while we were propping up planks for a place to sleep and casually mentioned that there had been cannibalistic incidents two days in a row, I stood there with dulled senses as if trapped inside a thin film. After putting up all the partitions, I turned to Kiss…-

12. Dog Mess • • When I woke up from a short nap, all three of Samdu’s heads were poking out from the cage across the way, staring at me. " Why?" I knew he couldn’t understand me, but I asked anyway. That damn Cerberus tilted each head in a different direction in a gesture that meant he didn’t get it, trying to look cute. It was a bit grotesque since each head faced its own way, but still cute in its own way. " Yaaawn." I stretched and, with my head clearer than before,…-

10. Man-Eater • • Do I have to stand on stage like this for an entire month? Lying alone facing the wall, all kinds of thoughts filled my head. Just then, noise suddenly broke out near the waiting room entrance. I faintly heard someone say “Ringmaster,” so I turned my body and looked toward the entrance, right as the ringmaster’s single eye met mine. “Assistant.” “Ah, do you need help? Assistant Choi!” No, it seemed like he simply had something to say. Now…-
