Chapter 256 – Chapter 20 – Embryo (6)
“Did you sleep well?”
“Uh… Good night.”
“Let’s eat. It’s rough, but I prepared it.”
As the material gradually lost a lot of options, I made it plausible by using this and that.
Still, I grilled canned ham and made kimchi stew with tuna, so this should be enough.
Of course, kimchi jjigae added ramen soup to complement the taste.
“Is this tastier than mom’s?”
“I wrote a foul.”
“Foul?”
“I put in half a bag of ramen soup. Maybe it’ll be delicious if I do it this way?”
“Aha…”
Sometimes, if I wanted to eat kimchi stew, I would just do it this way.
Of course, you can just eat kimchi jjigae instant food, but I didn’t bother to buy one that only needed to add ramen to the tuna and kimchi at home.
The slightly ramen soup taste was more attractive to me.
“It is delicious!”
“I’m glad you felt that way.”
For dessert, I brought out dried fruits with a long expiration date and a cold drink.
To be honest, I can’t say it’s a healthy eating habit, but it was the result of trying hard to take care of it in my own way.
“Whoah… I’m going to be a pig. I think my stomach will burst.”
“You have to eat a lot when you are young to grow taller.”
“Ha ha…”
“It’s not good to lie down like that after eating.”
“What about your sister?”
“I’m a hunter, so I have a strong body, so it doesn’t matter.
“Hey…”
Anyway, the flow of magical power in Songdo started to weaken.
The wall that was sealing this place will probably disappear sooner or later.
I looked at Jung-ah, who was clinging to me and squirming, with a pitiful gaze at the fact that time was running out.
“Why is that?”
“…It’s nothing. Shall we move somewhere?”
“It seems like a very long time to move.”
“Because it was so nice to stay here. But supplies are running out, so I have to move to replenish it.”
It was a lie, of course.
Even if you don’t have to move, it’s not difficult to resupply supplies if I fly away for a while.
Rather, to move the moment the shield disappears, to move the base camp around it.
“By the way, why does your sister erase all traces before moving like this?”
“I haven’t been able to confirm, but there might be survivors.”
“Isn’t that nice?”
“You have to be most careful with humans. Even monsters can follow traces like this.”
It wasn’t something he did for that reason either.
Now I had to sneak Jung-a out as much as possible and pretend she wasn’t a survivor of this accident.
However, there were no traces of survivors living inside, so they were erasing them.
‘At first, I wondered how Junga should prepare for the cost of going out and living like that…’
When I think about it, as much as my parents died in this accident, basic support from the country and insurance money will be guaranteed.
It’s less than being treated as a survivor, but living itself won’t be a problem.
In particular, Jung-ah will awaken her characteristics later, so from then on, she will be able to go to school while receiving support for everything.
“Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been flying like this.”
“Aren’t you scared? I’ve been curious since the first day.”
“It’s so cool and I feel good…!”
Originally, children are said to be fearless, so is that why you can have that kind of sentiment?
Anyway, because I like it, I was able to walk around with a big smile even when moving.
Alright, so now we have to choose a base camp for our new stay…
‘My magic doesn’t work, so I can’t confirm anything like presence, but…’
Now, the shield has gradually faded, and the outside is starting to see through, albeit a little.
It was something like a camera using the characteristics, and it was possible to check where there were no people crowding around.
Of course, I had to check virtually all the ranges to find a place where there were no people around as much as possible.
That’s it, it wasn’t that difficult if you spent enough time.
“About this should be enough.”
“Wow, the sea.”
“What about living by the sea?”
“I usually come to play with my mom and dad, but they haven’t come these days, so it’s nice to see them.”
“What, if it’s something like that. It wasn’t difficult.”
“I forgot too. I really liked that stage…”
“Well, if it’s like that, it’s fine. Anyway, since this is the situation… Would you like to buy a swimsuit at a nearby department store?”
“Is it okay if I swim?”
“Yes, I’ll adjust the water temperature. Oh, I don’t like it very much, so I’ll decline. Play alone.”
“That’s a little bit…”
“Then I’ll play without wearing a swimsuit. To be precise, I don’t really like revealing clothes.”
…Actually, it’s not that I don’t like swimsuits or nudity, it’s because if I did, I’d find out that I was a man.
Anyway, if you make a film over your clothes with a magic tool, you can keep it from getting wet.
Then he can play in the water without wearing a swimsuit, so playing with him should be enough.
“Isn’t there a swimsuit with less exposure?”
“That kind of thing sticks to the body. I hate that feeling itself.”
“Aha.”
Jung-a was so excited that she chose a swimsuit and asked if I was okay and asked if I was OK.
Well, she’s a cute swimsuit for a kid. It felt obvious.
But she felt it the other day when she was choosing clothes on stage, but her sense of clothes itself is very innate.
‘Really, how did a kid like that design such exclusive equipment…’
I sighed as I thought of what Junga would wear in the future.
In fact, I just don’t know about that design, and does it have great design value?
“Come here quickly.”
“Yumma…!”
Still, it seems that we have become very close while living together and playing together.
As a Hunter, it might be uncomfortable for me, but to play around while playing in the water right away like this.
Hiding the natural laughter, I lightly avenged the splash.
“Whoa…”
“Did you have fun today?”
“Yes!”
Because it’s good to be strong
Anyway, this was an area where no surveillance existed, probably because it was the sea.
Probably, when the shield disappears, it will fly right away and move to another place without being noticed.
“Shall we go for a walk?”
“Walking? Oh, walking on the beach?”
“It’s similar.”
Being able to leave Songdo now is a happy story in itself, so I thought it would be okay to talk about it in advance, so I thought of going to the magic wall.
Until now, I had gone to that location with Jung-a in my arms.
I’m going to explain slowly, so I have to borrow the form of a walk, so maybe that’s not the right direction.
“Come on, follow me.”
“That, that’s the sea… Wow!?”
“You can walk like this, right? I made a scabbard on the floor so it’s not slippery, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
If we freeze the floor we have to step on in real time, we can walk directly on the sea.
If this is the case, you should be able to reach the magic wall by borrowing the form of a walk enough.
…I had to leave a good memory, so it would be okay to have a little bit of a mysterious experience like this.
“It’s very strange. Walking on the sea.”
“You can fly, but now you come?”
“If you think about it that way, but for some reason, the first day I met her older sister, I got used to flying like crazy after flying like crazy…”
“Well, I will.”
So, has Jung-a fully adapted to being with me now?
She is easygoing, without any discomfort, she likes to play pranks on me or not, she said.
After all, if the kids rely on me like this, I gain strength.
“Well, it ends here.”
“Is it blocked from here?”
“That’s right. You must be tired from walking for quite a while. Let’s sit here and rest.”
She made a rather spacious floor out of ice and put chairs on it to create a space for conversation.
Anyway, it’s quite spectacular to be seated like this.
It feels like visiting an ice island in the middle of the sea.
“Didn’t I explain it to you last time? Because of the curtain created by this magic created by the Dungeon Break, you can’t go out or come in.”
“Yes.”
“But, this curtain is gradually blurring. Originally, you could hardly see outside, but now you can see half of it, right?”
“…Is that so?”
Therefore, the seal of this place will be released soon, and we will be able to go outside.
No matter how much I tried to take care of it as much as possible here.
No matter how much it is, living in such a limited place and limited resources is bound to be frustrating.
Even Jung-ah seemed happy to be able to go out.
“But, it’s also a bit regretful. If you go out, isn’t your sister busy with hunter activities?”
“…I guess so.”
He didn’t know that he had to leave at all, but at least he seemed to know that he couldn’t stick around all day like he does now.
After all, he’s smart for a kid his age.
It’s really nice to not even use a group and just regret it.
“And I have to tell you one thing. When I go out, I probably won’t have time to tell you because I’m too busy going out.”
“Are you going to tell me?”
“Once you get out of here, hide the fact that you’re a survivor here. I’ll take you to another town nearby, so say you’ve been waiting for your mother and her father there.”
“That…”
“If it is known that you survived this place, everyone’s attention will probably be on you. Then it will be very troublesome.”
“… As expected, my sister is kind. Shouldn’t that make her sister’s performance go up?”
“Because she’s not hunting to raise her earnings.”
At my words, Jung-a had sensed something strange, and was about to ask an additional question.
Suddenly, I started to feel a wave of magic power from the wall right next to me, so we stopped talking and turned our gaze toward it.
“I’m sorry, Jeong-ah. It seems that time is running out. Hold on tight.”
“…Yes!”
I hid the story of not meeting Jung-ah in the future, and I left her Songdo and took her to a safe place.
At the same time, a message appeared stating that the twist was resolved.
I broke up with her without even saying hello to her properly.
