Chapter 300 – 300. Sister 3
“Right from here?”
“Yes! Ah! No! From here to the right!”
“Guide me straight.”
“I can’t open my eyes properly because of the wind!”
“Say Jiwon, not Jia. I won’t trust him anymore.”
“Ugh… I’m so scared I can’t open my eyes…”
Jiwon is so scared of flying that he can’t even open his eyes, and Jia keeps leading him to the wrong place.
Thanks to this, it took me a while to get to the place where Jia lived.
Jiwon finally feels relieved once his feet touch the ground. And Jia is happy to return to where she used to live.
The place where Jia lived was a small village surrounded by mountains.
I don’t think anyone would think of coming to a place like this, unless they are quite a few people.
Perhaps that’s why Jia was able to live here safely until recently.
“Huh!? Where did it go!?”
Jia is desperately looking for something.
Jiwon and I approached Jia and asked.
“Why? What’s missing?”
“My dried persimmons…”
“What else can I say!”
Jiwon told Jia not to make a fuss, but I thought about something for a moment and asked Jia.
“Jiya.”
“Yes?”
“Were there a lot of dried persimmons?”
“Yes! You see this tree in front of you? This and this. This too. That and that and that.”
“Yes.”
“These are all persimmon trees, right? In the fall, a lot of persimmons grow. Then I pick a lot of them and make dried persimmons. Then I can eat them all winter long. It’s sweet and comforting. Of course, if I eat a lot, I get constipated…”
“Was it a lot?”
“Yes! Of course! There was a lot of it here! Can you see these? This.”
What Jia showed was a plastic hanger that looked like it had a lot of hangers on it.
“Is this a dried persimmon hanger? I mean, I hung it all the way from the eaves to here. But someone took it all away. Hehe.”
“Isn’t it the work of crows or other birds?”
“That may be true, but… I don’t know. Birds don’t fly here this season.”
I looked at the places where a lot of dried persimmon hangers had fallen.
Footprints left here and there. It’s a little bigger than Zia’s footprints.
Surely… It looks like someone came and took it.
“Do you know anyone here?”
“Do you know anyone? There used to be one, but not anymore. It’s been over two years since I last saw him.”
Then… Did someone come after Jia left? This… The timing was quite dangerous.
If only someone had come when Jia was alone…
“Jiya.”
“Yes?”
“So, except when Jiwon brought you food, you were always alone?”
“Yes. I was almost alone. It was two years ago that the grandmother next door passed away and the lady in the house left.”
“Then… Didn’t anyone come during that time?”
“Once? No. Twice. It happened twice.”
“There was one? So?”
“So?”
“Was it a stranger? Several people?”
“I think there was only one person once. I didn’t know for sure because it was night. The second time there were several people. At that time, I knew because it was daytime. There were about four people.”
“Then what did you do when those people came? Turned invisible?”
“Yes. That’s all there is to it. Wear invisibility and get stuck in a crevice in the warehouse over there and move around.”
“It was quite a dangerous moment… But you put it so easily.”
“Hehe. But you’ve been safe so far.”
This… He’s a bright and innocent kid. It’s a shame that the people who came here were not detected.
So, I guess this is not a very deserted place.
“Wait a moment.”
Use invisibility and flight and soar high in the sky.
A small town between the mountains. No matter how much you look at it, there is no reason for people to come here.
Are you scouring the area to find any survivors? Of course, it can be done, but it is quite inefficient.
Of course, if there is no detection or flight, it is inevitable that you will have to search quickly.
What can you think about is that people who can no longer find food in the city came here in search of wild livestock?
But that’s also a little strange. There is no need to come here.
If you are looking for meat, you can find more wild animals around here than you think.
Of course, they are not as fat as they were in the days when people raised them, but you can find chickens, cows, pigs, and wild boars everywhere.
Could it be said that the survival skills of animals are better than expected?
Of course, if you keep hunting in one place, the seeds will dry out quickly, but if a few people move around and hunt, that alone will be enough to cover a decent amount of food, right?
It’s like this even in the winter, so it will be much easier in the summer.
Hmm… I don’t know why. I wouldn’t have come all the way here aiming for dried persimmons.
I quickly look around the surroundings a few more times, but as expected, there is no sign of detection.
I had no choice but to come down to the place where Ji-won and Jia were, and there Jia was putting a lot of her luggage outside.
“What is all this?”
“Ah. My tablet, laptop, exercise books, files…”
“I know that, but… Are you taking this?”
“Yes.”
“Is this all?”
“Uh… There’s more.”
“Bring everything with you. This time, we will move it all at once.”
“Oh yeah!”
Jia went in with an excited expression and came out with an arm full of comic books.
“Comics?”
“Uh… Can’t I do something like this?”
“No, it’s not impossible. Is there a lot?”
“About two bookshelves?”
“Then there’s no need to take it out. Where are you going?”
“This way.”
When I entered the room, there were a lot of all kinds of comic books on the bookshelf.
“You saved up quite a bit, huh?”
“Right? The problem is that, other than the completed works, the content behind them will never be known for those that were serialized.”
“That’s right. It’s a shame.”
“So I was drawing them, one by one, starting with the famous comics.”
“You? Is that okay?”
“Well, it’s the work of an amateur. Still, it’s fun. I don’t have the skills to do that, but I imagine the story behind it and draw it.”
“I didn’t know you had that kind of hobby.”
“If I stayed here alone… I had nothing to do. Furthermore, I needed something that I could do for a long time and that had no end.”
“It’s… A line that could come from something like The Shawshank Redemption.”
“Huh? Show… What?”
“There is such a thing. A masterpiece movie.”
“Anyway… You’re not disappointed, are you?”
“Why are you disappointed? In some ways, it’s a great thing?”
“I’m glad the captain thinks so.”
Jia clung to my arm, and not to be outdone, Jiwon also grabbed hold of my opponent.
Haha. This feels perfect.
“Then are you going to take all these books?”
“Yes, if I can go.”
“Then let’s take the entire bookshelf.”
I opened the storage compartment and swallowed the bookshelf and books.
Even though they had seen pillows being used for storage, the two people were quite surprised to see the bookshelf put in like this.
As soon as all the luggage was put into the storage compartment, Jia’s expression changed to a lighthearted one.
“Phew. I’ve always wanted to come, and thanks to the captain, my wish came true.”
“Is there more?”
“No. Not anymore.”
“Really? Then let’s go now.”
“Should I set the house on fire?”
“Huh? Why?”
“No… There are usually a lot of scenes like that. A person vows never to return and burns down the house they lived in…”
“What are you doing?”
“I see. Then let’s go.”
I opened my arms to Jiwon and Jia.
Ji-won, who looked at me in tears, and Jia, who made an awkward expression.
“Walking… Won’t work, right?”
Jiwon’s helpless voice. Me indeed. Why are women so afraid of flying?
“Then… Come here.”
“Yes?”
“Everyone treads on my feet and embrace me.”
Two women who obediently do as I tell them.
I hugged them tightly and lifted my body just 20 centimeters off the ground.
“I guess this is enough. Let’s go.”
It has the disadvantage of being difficult to find the right way, but it is still a method that does not scare those carrying it.
Jiwon was also able to look straight ahead to see if this was okay.
“Right from here!”
Jiwon walked regularly when she was at the camp, so she knew her route relatively accurately.
Thanks to this, I was able to reach the camp without any problems, and from there, I knew the way, so I was able to come straight to the fence.
“Okay, get off now.”
Drop Jiwon and Jia off on the road near the fence.
Two women with faces full of regret.
But no matter how you look at it, it can’t be helped. Because I don’t live in a fence.
Once every two weeks. No matter how often you want to see it, that’s your limit.
This time, I had no choice but to see Ji-won and Jia separately because of Jeong-hyeon, but things like this won’t be easy in the future.
That’s the distance between them and me. Just that much.
“Jia, I will leave your luggage in your room. It will already be there by the time you go in.”
“Yes.”
“Then… Don’t turn off your invisibility. Enter carefully.”
“When will you come next time?”
Jiwon’s slightly watery voice.
I don’t know. Why do these women like me?
I’m not really good-looking or attractive enough to make women lose their minds.
Of course, they say that appearance is not an absolute condition for choosing the opposite sex, but these guys are a little strange.
Ji-won was attracted to her at first, but Ji-ah was never attracted to her at all.
But getting this close? I don’t know. I really don’t know.
“When we run out of food.”
“I guess I can only hope that the food runs out quickly.”
I looked at Jiwon and Jia blankly.
Women who survived a harsh world. And now the women have achieved a fairly stable life.
Of course, there are things I have done, but I have no intention of receiving compensation for those things.
“It may sound a little strange, but I don’t want you to only look at me.”
“Yes?”
“What do you mean?”
“I know what you think of me, but I’m not by your side. And to be honest, I don’t live my life looking only at you. Moreover, I’m a person who never knows when and where I might die. Of course, I have no intention of dying, but… That’s not how I want to do it. So, I think you should live your own life. I hope you find someone who you can often see and who can protect you all the time. I don’t think it’s good for pretty and kind women like you to just wait for me.”
I wanted to talk longer, but if I just say this much, you’ll understand.
They’re not kids. There is no need to talk about everything from A to H.
“That’s… My heart.”
“That’s right. Whatever we do is our freedom, right?”
“Whoa.”
I sighed. Actually, does it make sense to easily turn away just because you say something like this?
“I’m not asking the captain to take responsibility. So don’t worry about that.”
“That’s right.”
I shrugged her shoulders and told them.
“Okay. Well, I have no choice but to respect your decision. I took these actions knowing that things might not work out the way you wanted.”
After saying that, I put on my flight gear and lifted my body slightly.
“I understand. Come on in. I’m going.”
“Okay. See you later.”
“Be careful… Go.”
Then both of them put on invisibility and disappear.
I also tried to use invisibility and fly, but… I couldn’t do that.
I turn on the detector on the spot and watch to see if they get inside the fence.
Jiwon and Jia entered the area of the fence, and I quickly flew towards Jia’s room.
I phased out from a reasonable distance and went to Jia’s room. I took out all of her belongings from the closet and placed them in the room.
And then phase out again. Just leave the fence and release it in a quiet place.
Receiving affection from someone… It’s a good thing. There’s no way I don’t like that.
But I am quite clumsy at such things.
If you receive affection, you have to give it back… I don’t know how to do that.
Besides, I have too many women now.
The results of my greed.
To be honest, Seunghee, Mina, SeAh, and Anna alone are overwhelming.
Minhee. Yes, how can we cover Minhee? Because she’s not a woman you often see.
And that’s my limit. The other women… To be honest, I don’t think it’s necessary.
But, that can’t be possible.
Of course, it’s funny that I, who played around with random women and killed them, is now taking care of them.
But… It’s different from those women.
First buttons inserted properly. A relationship without any resentment or hatred.
Affection that did not bloom properly. Crush. Respect and respect.
Those things are very difficult and difficult for me.
Fence and Cheongpyeong. The women there.
To be honest, what I said to Ji-won and Ji-ah was my true intention.
I hope everyone can live the life they want and forget about things like me.
But it won’t work out the way I want.
But I can’t treat them harshly.
This is truly an asshole thing to do. Pathetic and frustrating behavior.
I still don’t know what to do. There are just two things I want right now.
Evasion. And natural extinction.
I think that if I just reduce my footfall and keep my distance a little, the relationship will sort itself out.
Why… There is also a saying like that. It is said that when you are out of sight, your mind is also far away.
Ha. I don’t know. How did Kwon Seong-cheol, who was always mean to women, become this kind of person?
It seems like a person with no ability is trying to solve everything on his own.
In the end, I think things will go wrong if things continue like this.
I need to think about this a little more seriously.
It would be better to prepare in advance than to be really upset and anxious.
