Chapter 655 – 655. Itten Ryokan 1
“Oh, I’m surprised.”
When Se-ah comes out to her living room, she is surprised to see me sitting on her sofa and touches her chest.
“Why be surprised? There’s a party going on.”
“I didn’t see it!”
“Hey. What if I were the enemy?”
“Then my brother would have defeated it on his own.”
After going to her kitchen and drinking a glass of water, Se-ah returns to the living room.
And then she paused and looked at me and seemed to be thinking about something.
“Why?”
“What?”
“Why are you doing that there?”
She said that, but there was no reply. Why is he like that again? He’s a funny kid.
“But you still took off your makeup? I thought you’d be wearing it for a few days because it was a waste.”
“Be quiet! Let’s think about it.”
“The water of the East Sea! Mt. Baekdu! Until it dries and wears out! God! Protect me!”
“Ahh! Really!”
“What are you talking about? Why are you suddenly singing the national anthem?”
Seunghee comes out of the room rubbing her eyes.
Seunghee looks at me and naturally kisses my cheek.
Ah. Good. It’s pretty.
And as soon as Se-Ah saw me and Seung-Hee, she looked like she had made up her mind and spoke to Seung-Hee.
“I’m going to go out with my brother.”
“Huh? Ah, yes. Come back.”
Seunghee answers willingly.
“Hey. Why are you asking Seunghee if you’re going out with me? Do you have to get the person’s approval first?”
“That’s it. Let’s fly quickly.”
“Why?”
“If you have to use it, use it.”
“I don’t like it. You have to tell me why.”
“Gate.”
SeAH put a gate under my feet.
I fell into the gate and just appeared from the sky and fell down.
“What are you doing? Why aren’t you using the flight!”
“Uh… How did you use flight?”
Even though she is falling, Se-Ah appears to be more restless as she maintains a calm posture and does not use her flight belt.
Then something wrapped around my body, and I was floating in the air. And Se-ah, standing next to him, sees me and gets angry.
“What are you doing!”
“What are you doing?”
“What?”
“If you use a gate on the floor, you’ll be so scared! Did you know that I could use flight?”
“I told you to write it first!”
“That’s not the problem. You didn’t even tell me where to go. Why do you get permission from Seunghee to do that?”
Se-Ah can’t say anything. Then he looks at me and says it again.
“He always does what he wants, so why does he do this to me!?”
“So? Complaints?”
“Wow. That’s really shameless.”
“And what did I do on my own? I think I was considerate enough of you?”
“Uh…”
Se-ah tries to think of something, but it seems like she can’t think of anything.
“You charmed me!”
“Is that what you mean by finally doing it after a long time? It’s already been done, right? Are you going to keep bringing it up?”
My words and attitude were so confident that Se-Ah was speechless.
“The method was wrong. The method. And if you are an adult, you should admit your mistake and reflect on it. Are you going to keep insisting?”
Se-ah is distracted by my logical attack.
How will Se-Ah react? If you push me one more time, I’m going to get furious.
“Ha. I’m sorry.”
Fortunately, Se-Ah is a woman who has common sense and knows how to follow the lines.
What… Otherwise, I would have slapped her ass to instill some common sense.
“Flight.”
As I write her flight, Se-Ah reaps her own poltergeist.
Standing in front of her in the air, I looked at Se-Ah and spoke softly.
“What are you sorry about?”
“You don’t even talk properly… You just talk about it carelessly.”
“Okay. That’s it. Now, tell me. Officially.”
Se-ah looks at me, hesitates for a moment, then opens her mouth.
“There’s a place I want you to go with.”
“Where are you?”
“Over there.”
Se-ah pointed below her, and below was where she had been last time.
Ryokan. The place discovered by SeAH.
“Where am I? But why are you there? What’s going on?”
“No… That’s not it…”
Why are you embarrassed? Ah. Could it be that?
“Do you want a hug?”
“Ugh… Really. There’s no atmosphere.”
“Why? No?”
“Really… That’s right! That’s right!”
When I hold Se-Ah, she hugs me tightly.
She was originally a short girl, but as her body got younger, she seemed strangely shorter.
“Did you want to go to that ryokan together?”
“Uh…”
“Okay. Then let’s go.”
Holding Se-Ah’s hand, I leisurely go down to the hot spring.
When she arrived at the entrance, she naturally went inside and said hello.
I guess you’ve been coming here quite often? It looks very familiar, right?
The hostess who was talking to Se-ah looked in my direction, and then she made eye contact with me, and she greeted me politely.
I also nodded, and the hostess smiled and went inside.
“Let’s go in.”
Se-ah came and spoke to me, and I followed her into her.
What should I say about the ryokan? She seemed to have history and tradition.
A typical Japanese garden, a building that looks quite old and luxurious, the surrounding scenery… Everything looks fine.
The same goes for the inside.
Tatami room, paper gate, open-air bath visible when opening the door… A ryokan that was exactly what I expected.
However, one thing that is disappointing is that the management is not perfect.
The hostess and her two daughters barely survived and remained here, but not all rooms or facilities were renovated.
At least this room and the hot springs seem to have been barely restored.
That must have been what SeAh requested by giving them food.
It looks like it was hastily restored rather than maintained for a long time.
“Isn’t it cool? It’s still a little disappointing, though.”
Se-Ah I think she probably wanted to show me this.
She just wasn’t good at it.
I can understand her feelings. Rather, I am grateful. Because what I said in passing has come to this.
“Sea.”
“Huh?”
“Would you like to call the hostess?”
“Why? What’s the problem?”
“No. Call me.”
Se-Ah quickly went and called the hostess.
If the hostess and her daughter had been a little prettier, they could have become mother and daughter. What… That’s not important.
“Let me ask you one thing. When was this ryokan the most beautiful?”
The hostess seemed a little taken aback by my sudden question. But she answered right away because it was her job at her own ryokan.
“Our Itten Ryokan was beautiful at every moment. Although its history is only about 300 years, it has never lost its beauty from the time it was first built until recently when it was able to operate properly.”
In the end, the reason we are in this situation is that we are not doing business properly.
“If you could go back to this ryokan 5 years ago, would you do it?”
The hostess’s eyes widen at my words.
“If it could just happen like that, I wouldn’t have any wishes.”
“Can you excuse me for a moment? Could you please open your palms?”
I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I guess this hostess trusts Se-Ah.
The hostess took one look at Se-Ah and held out her hand without hesitation.
Place one of your fingers on the palm of your hand and read her memories.
5 years ago now, well… It doesn’t matter if it wasn’t 5 years ago.
All you have to do is see what this most beautiful ryokan looked like before the world fell apart.
“That’s it. Seya. Go with this person and help him pack up his things. You just need to pack the things you don’t have five years ago but have now. You don’t need too much. Furthermore, you can get everything. Just pack only the essentials.”
“Yes!”
Se-ah seems to have guessed what I was going to do and takes the hostess straight to where they live.
And I looked at the ryokan for a moment while waiting for them.
It won’t be easy to make repairs if there are only women. Okay. That’s natural.
After a while, Se-ah, the hostess, and her daughter came out outside the ryokan.
He looks confused because he doesn’t know what’s going on. And Se-Ah reassures them.
The entrance to the ryokan. As I stood there, I muttered briefly, thinking about the image of the ryokan I had seen in the hostess’s memories.
“State regression.”
In my words… Time at the ryokan began to rewind.
I saw it once at the Starceva Mansion, but even to me, it is truly an amazing sight.
The fallen tiles return to their original state and the peeling plaster walls return to their original appearance.
Broken trees, broken window frames, broken and temporarily blocked windows.
Watching everything return to its original form… The hostess knelt down and shed tears.
“Ah… Ah.”
A ryokan that has returned to its original form.
And the hostess, filled with emotion, holds her daughter’s hand and enters the ryokan.
She constantly sheds tears of joy as she sees the building, interior and exterior, restored to the beautiful appearance she remembered.
“It’s not over yet.”
“Hmm… Yes?”
“I’d like to ask you to cook too?”
“Cooking… Cooking? Are you talking about kaiseki?”
“Is that what you call it? I don’t know the name. Anyway, it’s a decent meal served at a ryokan like this.”
“Yes. Yes. That’s right. But the ingredients…”
“Tell me what ingredients you need.”
“Yes?”
“The ingredients you need. Oh, wait a minute.”
Since it’s food, there’s no way it won’t work as an ingredient, but I’ll give it a try anyway.
Since it’s Japan, we should try making Japanese food ingredients, right?
“Wish.”
I used the skill, and after a while, I had a tuna belly in my hand.
It’s a good thing there wasn’t a whole tuna.
It’s fortunate that it is possible to extract only the parts you want.
“Oh my God!?”
The hostess’s eyes widen when she sees the tuna belly.
“Now. See? It doesn’t matter what the ingredients are. If you need anything, tell me everything. Even a grain of salt.”
I can see a forgotten passion burning in the hostess’s eyes as she looks at the tuna belly and me.
It must have been difficult to make a living, let alone cook, for the past five years. But now the opportunity has come again.
After thinking for a moment, she said without hesitation that she had decided on her menu.
“In Zensai… Raw oysters…”
“Wish.”
“Tofu.”
“Wish.”
“Eggs.”
“Wish…”
In this way, the ingredients that the hostess talks about are created right away.
Duck, chicken, beef, shrimp, yellowtail, sea bream, flounder, octopus, mountain trout… Anyway, from the main ingredients to the secondary ingredients such as mushrooms and vegetables.
As we prepare at least 10 servings, the hostess and her daughter frantically move all the ingredients.
“I think this is enough.”
“We’re going to eat lunch and dinner today, so please prepare. And if you need anything, feel free to ask for it. As you can see, there’s nothing we can’t make. So don’t think of it as a nuisance and just ask for it. I want to be served the best food.”〈 Br〉
The hostess nods enthusiastically.
“I can go inside, right?”
“Oh! Of course. Come this way.”
The hostess, who was already polite, became extremely polite, and we were shown to the best room.
So the hostess leaves and Se-ah looks at me and says.
“I still have to learn that skill.”
“Really? It’s a scam. But what production skills did you learn?”
“Uh. It looked good, so I learned how to make illusions.”
“It’s a welcome production. Yes, that’s good. But we’ll talk about skills later… Now, let’s enjoy the hot springs, right?”
When you open the door, you see a secluded open-air bath.
A place where the bath is made of pebbles and rocks, and hot spring water flows like a painting.
As I take off her clothes, Se-Ah hesitates a little.
“Why?”
“No…”
“Take it off quickly. Why are you here now and looking at me like this?”
“Ugh… There’s really no atmosphere. Atmosphere.”
I immediately got naked and went into the bathtub.
“Ugh…”
It’s really amazing. After all, Koreans need to bathe their bodies in hot water.
As I submerged my body up to my neck in water, I felt all the fatigue remaining in my body disappear.
No matter how you think about it, it’s a perfect idea to come up with state regression. Isn’t this the most useful skill?
As I look toward the room from inside the water, I see Se-ah carefully coming out with her head up and covering her body with a towel.
Ah… It’s a crime. It’s a crime.
Even if I were arrested right now, I would have nothing to say.
Who would look at him and say he’s over 20?
Perhaps, if Se-ah hadn’t revealed her identity to her mistress, I would have been despised and labeled as a nabal and a loser.
“Sea.”
“Huh?”
“Put the towel away.”
“Ah… Why?”
“If you’re Chiu, clean it up. Don’t you have manners? Manners.”
“Uh… Isn’t it manners to cover yourself with a towel?”
“No, nothing like that. Anyway, put away the towel and come quickly.”
In the end, Se-ah puts down the towel and enters the hot spring naked.
I saw Se-Ah coming towards me while cutting through the water… Wow. It’s no joke.
As she approached me, Se-ah came next to me and tried to put her body on me, but I picked her up and lifted her onto my body.
“Oh my… What should I do if someone sees it?”
“Do you really think anyone will see you? In this place with no one around?”
“Ugh… You have a mistress! With a daughter!”
“I guess they’re busy cooking, right? And what do you think? I’ll be coming here often from now on.”
While saying that, she places her hand on Se-Ah’s chest.
Hot spring water, top-of-the-line facilities, tsundere-rogue oil, and dishes being prepared.
Ah. It couldn’t be better than this. Long live skill! Fuck!
