Chapter 835 – [Side Story] 15. Utopia 2
Looking around the village.
Still a modest size. Although we diligently go around and collect homes with children, there is no way the number of people can increase that much.
Because it is not easy to see a family whose child is still alive. It’s really hard to find.
If there was SG City like before, I would have taken a lot out of it. That’s a bit unfortunate.
Unfortunately, there is no SG City in this world. No, SG Group itself has disappeared.
Could this be considered a butterfly effect? Probably so, right?
Daeho Group quickly regained Minhu.
Perhaps that is why Chairman Choi and Managing Director Choi did not do anything foolish in this world.
In the past, Chairman Choi was the one who stayed in a bunker and lounged around with women, but not this time.
They took the lead in aggressive expansion, and SG Group was unable to withstand their expertise.
In addition, Go Seong-yeon’s contribution must be due to Min-hu’s return and her concentration on domestic affairs.
Director Choi, who was hanging around outside looking for women to have an affair with, also acted as if he had awakened.
Should we say that it is the power of the Daeho Group that was dramatically sealed before it festered and rotted internally?
It goes like this.
What’s funny is that the person who is missing is Director Choi. Jeongryeol Choi. Shinyoung’s older brother. A guy with great ambitions.
As Daeho was normalized and the influence of Chairman Choi and Managing Director Choi was solidified, his position decreased significantly.
Moreover, my younger brother is gone.
Of course, Shinyoung contacted me periodically, but she is no longer there.
A guy who has become like a deflated balloon.
But Seo Min-jun approached that guy.
The deficit of the failed SG Group and the collateral of the Daeho Group, whose ambitions were shattered.
It’s a bit of an interesting combination. Besides, that guy Seo Min-jun is quite capable, right?
It might be quite fun to see what they will do, right?
Anyway, that aside… Looking around the village again.
Lena and Ga-in are bothering you? To Dohyun and Jaehyun?
People who lived on the ark in the past or people I gathered.
They couldn’t quite find it. Because everyone is taking what was going around.
Fortunately, Do-hyeon and his younger sister Ha-eun, who lived in Ilsan, were still there.
Moreover, this time neither my parents nor my aunt died. Because I went there before it was too late.
So I was able to bring them all here.
The same goes for Jaehyun. A guy who was doing his best to survive in Gimpo.
He didn’t really intend to bring it, but he just brought it.
At least that guy is capable. This is the guy who took over all of Gimpo on his own, right?
Moreover, in the past world and on the ark, surprisingly, we worked hard without any accidents.
It feels a little sly, but… That much is enough.
At least it means that he is a trustworthy person.
So Dohyun and Jaehyun wrote a perfect memory restoration.
Is this a reward for your dedication in the past world? I can do this much.
Since they are two guys like that, there is no reason to be in trouble unless it is a very serious situation.
But not if the opponents are Lena and Ga-in.
Because Lena and Ga-in also used perfect memory recovery techniques.
“Huh? Dohyeon. Instead, let’s play with your sisters. Why do you always run away? Do you hate your sisters?”
“That’s right. You don’t have the looks that your older sisters fall for. You’ll like it too.”
“Oh… It’s like this again. Please do it in moderation. I know you guys are pretty, right? But that doesn’t mean it’s all that good.”
Lena and Ga-in are flirting with Do-hyeon. Have their tastes changed again?
Have you two gotten tired of playing?
Are you trying to eat a child? I guess the meaning of ‘playing’ doesn’t just mean ‘playing’?
“That’s right! Do it in moderation! And don’t just do this to him, try to do it to me too!”
“Hmm. We don’t like light men. What’s the point if you just put on a flashy exterior? You don’t have a manly vibe.”
“That’s right. We’re talking to Do-hyeon right now. He’s busy. So, let’s skip it for a bit.”
“Manliness? Do I need manliness? Can I do this?”
Meanwhile, Jaehyun takes off his top. Ugh. What is he doing?
Even if I bring back memories of the past, what I do doesn’t change.
The four of you seem to be filming some kind of sitcom.
Dohyun is having a hard time too. If I had been bitten by Lena and Ga-in, I wouldn’t have been able to escape easily.
I need to eat a lot of good food. They… Because these women are almost like succubi.
“What are you doing?”
When I appear, Lena and Ga-in make openly disgusted looks.
“Oh, a saboteur has arrived.”
“Okay, let’s go. Why are you here already?”
At the same time, the two women quietly avoid the place.
In the past, we maintained a strict superior-subordinate relationship, but what should we say now?
I feel like a colt that has been let loose.
Two women who are very comfortable with each other even though they don’t climb up.
What… Since they have done something to them too, I am being lenient on that level.
Anyway, I made sure to tell them so that they don’t do anything useless here.
“Wow. That’s good. Bro. Please do something with those girls. I’m so tired.”
“That’s right! Why is it Dohyun and not me!?”
“Ah. Just do it in moderation, brother.”
“It looks good because it seems like you’re having fun.”
“What’s so fun!? I’m going to die because it’s so hard!”
“Wouldn’t think about something like that be a happy cry, wouldn’t it?”
“That’s not true! It’s easier to just tell them to clean up their surroundings.”
Well, Lena and Ga-in are not easy women.
These are women who have lived their whole lives as they please, right? In most cases, they are not people who will be discouraged.
“If it’s that much of a hassle, it’s better to get disciplined. Even if they look like that, if they show up strong, they actually like them.”
Dohyun frowns at my words and looks at me with strange eyes.
“What? What kind of solution is that!”
“Well, figure it out. I told you the solution.”
Of course, I don’t want others to look over the women I’ve embraced.
You don’t usually see something like that. There’s no way I’d be able to look at something like that unless there was dirt in my eyes.
So even when I was on the Ark, other men wouldn’t even dare touch the women I touched.
But Lena and Ga-in are a bit different.
They’re not at that level of women, are they?
On the contrary, if Do-hyeon goes out strong and treats them like slaves, he may praise them for doing a good job.
“Oh… I just need to go out strong? Hmm…”
Next to me, Jaehyun mutters as if he knew something good.
“Well, I don’t know if it’s Do-hyeon, but you’ll die if you do that. No, it doesn’t really matter if you die, so why not give it a try?”
“Hey! Isn’t there a huge difference in the attitude towards Dohyun and me? What is this temperature difference?”
“Then should I be friendly with you? I guess so.”
“Well, that’s right. Wow. I just thought about it. I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
“That’s terrible. Ugh. Anyway, that’s it. Isn’t there anything special? A suspicious person or something suspicious or something like that?”
“Yes, no. It’s peaceful.”
“Don’t play around and practice your skills without stopping. Keep playing the lottery. Yoon Jaehyun, you too.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“I’m doing well. What am I playing?”
“Ugh. Okay. Seung-gyu, don’t be upset.”
She says that and leaves.
You’ll take care of it. They are also people who have full memories of their past lives.
A townhouse that is always peaceful. Utopia for Hayul.
We need more people to create a more believable place.
It should be enough to create at least one community. There are too few people now.
But if there are too many people, it becomes difficult to manage them.
You just have to hit the golden ratio.
No matter how much you put in place a zone where you can’t use skills, that doesn’t mean accidents or crimes don’t happen.
Time passes again.
The townhouses have grown quite a bit and now number about 100 units.
A village just for children. The only condition for moving in is that you must be a parent with a child.
These days, I feel like I’m addicted to finding homes for children.
Following Seung-gyu’s advice, I treated myself a little more gently and kindly, and the people who recently entered the townhouse looked at me in a completely different way.
Soon there will be a religion. It’s called Seongcheol Bridge.
But it feels a bit Buddhist. Or it is an extremely pseudo-sect.
Hayul is now eight years old.
If the world hadn’t fallen, I would have been in elementary school.
But it’s hilarious to see what he’s doing these days. Is that basically basic for elementary school students?
Girl group dancing is popular among townhouse kids these days.
Laptops and computers I went around the world looking for videos to show my kids.
Among the videos I found while searching through such things, there were some that looked like girl group fancam videos, so I handed them over to Dohyun.
Then, I guess they put it in pads and distributed it.
The young girls in the townhouse dance along to the girl group dance while looking at the pad.
Honestly, it’s cool.
When girls of that age see it, girl groups are all sparkly, right?
Maybe that’s why I hum and dance along all day long.
Besides, parents also like their kids to do that.
It’s a healthy hobby, right? It also causes physical exhaustion.
Even now, Hayul is dancing along with her girl group dance in her room with her friends.
But coincidentally, you’re a Fairina person? Ah. I also know them quite well.
“I’m glad it’s not an apartment.”
When I say this, Seung-gyu nods his head as if he agrees.
“That’s right. I wouldn’t have even thought about it if it was an apartment. It was quite loud.”
“Still, it’s good to have something to focus on like that. Boys just throw a ball, and they’ll play until sunset, but girls don’t do that. Now, apologize.”
Yoo-jeong places a plate of peeled apples between Seung-gyu and me and sits down next to him.
He looks extremely relaxed. His expression looks much better than when he was on the ark.
“What else do girls like? I don’t know anything about that.”
“Well, we don’t know that well. We haven’t done much either. The only thing we did for Hayul was bring her books.”
“Books. Well, books are good too. But is there anything else besides that?”
“Girls like cute things. Not only Hayul, but all girls do. Decorating diaries, collecting stickers, character products, things like that? Or something like a claw machine?”
I think about Yujeong’s words for a moment. Cute? Hey. That’s a word that really has nothing to do with me.
“Hmm. Really? I guess I can just steal an entire stationery store or something? If possible, I can just steal it from several places.”
“I like it because it’s hot. Is it something like, ‘I didn’t know what people would like, so I prepared everything’? But then I guess I’ll like it. At least there’ll be something that suits my taste.”
“You might also like making cookies or chocolate. Can you give me some flour, butter, or couverture? Then I can get together with the kids’ mothers and do something like a crafting class.”
“Oh. Really? That’s good. Should I give it to you now?”
“Yes. That would be good.”
“Open the storage.”
Yujeong opened the storage and I created an item called in Wish and immediately put it in the storage.
“Is this enough? Is it not enough?”
“No. At this rate, I could eat cookies instead of meals for a few months, right?”
“What? Then, let’s stop in the middle.”
“Because these are items that can be used in other places anyway.”
As I continue to eat the apple, I hear a thumping sound and Hayul and his friends come down.
“We’ll go outside and come back!”
“Where are you going? Are you Zinc?”
“Yes!”
The kids rush to the front door, squealing to each other as they wonder what’s so exciting.
“Hayul. Have you practiced dancing a lot? Shall I show you later?”
Hayul smiles mischievously when I say that.
“I’m not good at it yet!”
Those guys who say that and go out.
When I see things like that, I think that at least what I’m doing right now isn’t shoveling.
And the same goes for Seung-gyu and Yoo-jung.
When I was in the ark, I never saw Hayul that bright and cheerful.
The ark was inside the mountain anyway, and when Hayul was young, it was not easy for her to go outside.
But not now.
It’s so nice to see people naturally going outside and having fun.
A life without any threats or worries.
It’s a ruined world, but it’s the best that can be achieved in such a situation.
“You wrote it when you were 15?”
Seunggyu asked. There is no subject, but you can tell what it is without saying anything.
“That’s right. Do-hyun was fine when I used it when he was 15. Ha-eun was fine too. I think I could use it a little earlier… But it would be best to use it around then.”
“So there are about 7 years left?”
“Why? Are you bored?”
“Is that possible? Every day is fun.”
“It’ll be more fun after that. I’ll take it back to how it was before it was ruined.”
“Yes. I’m looking forward to it. Furthermore, I’ve always wondered how far this world would have developed if it hadn’t been destroyed. But you can’t see that now, can you?”
“Are you curious about that? There’s nothing special.”
“Ah… Don’t say it. If you say it now, it’s a spoiler.”
“Yes. Experience it yourself later. There are many interesting things in the future.”
As I spoke meaningfully, Seunggyu’s expression became even more curious.
Ah. My mouth is itchy. So much so that I want to say it out loud.
