The Regressor Sells Giyeon 181

Chapter 181 – Reorganization

#181.

“Master, come on. Hurry!”
“Okay. Calm down. Is Chorin ready too?”
“Yes, that’s all right. Song!”

The warmly dressed party strolled through the capital, which was white due to heavy snowfall the previous day.

Various people were roaming the streets laughing and chattering, each with their lover, family or friends.

Yellow lights twinkled here and there, adding to the liveliness.

‘Thinking about it, this is the first time.’

I’ve never had such a happy time with someone on Christmas day, even in the 1st and 2nd rounds. Once again, I realize that I am really lucky in this life.

He laughed heartily at the two expecting lovers with arms folded on both sides, and guided them to the date course he had decided on after a few days of hard work.

“First, let’s go to the central square. It is said that there is a tree over 100 meters high.”
“100 meters? The scale is different from Earth.”
“Because there are cases where mutations occur due to erosion with the other world. Didn’t you see it when you went to subdue a thorn beetle a while ago? It would be even more impressive to see it in person, as it must have been heavily decorated for Christmas.”

After explaining to Chorin, Gaon pulled Hayeon, who was looking around curiously, toward the plaza.

As Gaon made his way through the crowd, he could hear the exclamations of Hayeon and Chorin.

“And! Pretty.”
“I can see the tree here too… It’s really huge.”

Even though there is still a long way to go to the plaza, the dazzling tree standing tall, boasting its presence among the tall buildings, even slows down Gaon’s steps for a moment.

It is not enough to say that it is spectacular to see millions of lights and many more props hanging from the entire body.

Gaon paused to give the two of them time to sort out their emotions, then moved on again.

As they got closer, Chorin and Hayeon’s heads bent upward. I wonder if this could lead to a wall.

Compared to usual, he looked defenseless enough to be said to be full of gaps, but Gaon didn’t say anything and kindly hugged the two who were relying on him.

The path Gaon walks is a thorny path. No matter how grateful I was to the two of them who stayed by his side silently, it was not enough.

It was only because of his affection for him that he endured all the hardships and followed him.

As such, he needs to be returned.

Today was that opportunity.

I arrived at the square before I knew it and arrived right in front of the tree. Of course, even then, the two of them were just staring blankly at the tree.

Gaon smiled and pointed to the front.

“Both of you now look ahead. There will be a parade soon.”
“Oh! Yes, I’m sorry. I’m so curious…”
“You don’t have to apologize. Because I was like that at first too.”

He also showed the same reaction as the two in the first round.

On a cold winter day, on the way to the mercenary guild to receive a request like a beggar early in the morning, I saw the tree and vomited hatred inside.

To the system that led them on their own, and to all the people who lived in Union who persecuted them just for the fact that they were earthlings.

And to himself, who had nothing but insignificant talents.

Never as warm, happy, and joyful as now. There were no such feelings. That is the biggest difference between then and now.

Pampa bam~

It was the powerful sound of the trumpet that awakened Gaon, who recalled memories of the past.

When I woke up and looked ahead, the parade started, and people dressed in various mascots and cosplayers were moving in a procession.

There were also dramas, movies, and comics in this world, so there were a lot of people dressed in quite unusual outfits.

In fact, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, so there is no reason to be concerned about it anywhere in Union.

Nevertheless, it must have been because the interests of the merchants intervened that this anniversary was no different from the earth.

There was a high probability that the majority of people did not even know what Christmas was celebrated.

One curious thing is that the Healing Church, which is so obsessed with the position of monotheism, did not specifically suppress the establishment of Christmas in Union.

I wondered what he was thinking, but it wasn’t a problem in particular, so I didn’t care too much.

Time passed quickly as I enjoyed the atmosphere of Christmas with the parade. By the time the parade was over and the surroundings were a bit quiet, it was already lunch time.

“It will be noon soon. Today we have lunch with street food. How is it?”
“I like it!”
“I’m fine too. Since the day is cold, I want to eat warm soup. Come on!”

After making a decision, the party left the plaza.

The streets are full of people selling a variety of foods that are difficult to taste at one time. After choosing a few places among them and having a quick meal, they started moving according to Gaon’s guidance.

“Gaon, where are you going?”
“I am thinking of going to the aquarium. Union has many marine creatures that cannot be seen on Earth. Besides, it’s quiet, and it takes a reasonable amount of time, so it’s perfect for digestion.”
“It certainly is. Anyway, this is my first aquarium since I was a kid.”

The fact that her face turned red reminds me that Chorin doesn’t particularly hate the aquarium.

Gaon, relieved by that, asked Hayeon for a doctor.

“How are you, Ha-yeon? Is the aquarium okay?”
“Me? I don’t really care either. Even if I don’t like it, I play well when I go. There must be many strange fish, right?”
“Yes, there will be a lot of unexpected things. Then let’s go.”

The party moved about 20 minutes and was able to greet a huge aquarium a little away from the downtown area.

After presenting a ticket, they went inside and spent time watching creatures leisurely swimming in a world dyed blue.

Ha-yeon, who had taken the lead in looking around her and was engrossed in watching her, turned round and said with a grin.

“Master, it is very quiet here. It seems like we are the only ones left in the world.”
“I know. It looks like there are fewer people than usual.”

At Union, I don’t know if the aquarium isn’t popular as a date spot, or if it’s just a coincidence, but they wandered around this expansive area and didn’t see anyone except for the staff.

I was staring blankly at Ha-yeon, who exudes a more foreign beauty than anyone else in this place where blue lighting is pouring in, and I felt a lump on her forearm.

Chorin led Gaon closer to the window.

“And! Gaon, look at that. She has five heads!”
“You also have 10 legs.”
“Right? Be curious…”

Usually, it was thought that women hated creatures with many legs, but Chorin seems to be okay.

She looked at her a little unexpectedly, but Ha-yeon, who was watching with her, vomited.

“Ugh! Disgusting! Does your sister like that?”
“Who is good? It’s just curious.”
“Ugh… I hate to see more. She wants to be by her side.”
“So that’s it. I’ll follow you soon.”

She really didn’t like her so much. Ha-yeon got away from them and she headed for the next tank.

As the two of them stayed oddly watching the creatures swimming on the surface, Chorin rested her head on her shoulder.

“Gaon-san, you know. She’s not trying to be a burden. I have a question for you.”
“Yes, tell me.”
“… When will the time come when I can rest for a year or so?”

It was the kind of question I never thought of.

Was it too difficult for her?

She opened her mouth thinking that in the worst case she might have to give her a break for the time being.

“At the end of the year?”
“Yes, one year. I think there should be at least that much.”
“Chorin-san…”
“It’s not that I want to quit because it’s too hard. With a year or so, she wants to focus on finding her mother in the meantime. She doesn’t even know if she’s still alive.”
“…”

Gaon was already convinced from her previous life experiences that her family had died long ago, so she didn’t think much of it, but Chorin was different.

From her point of view, she is in the midst of her worries about her family, who even at this moment may be in danger.

It’s probably the same for Hayeon.

If her brother had two of her parents, she might have even bigger worries than Chorin, since she had four in her family.

Even so, she only showed a bright appearance in front of her party, so I guessed how difficult it must be.

‘Was I too indifferent?’

She writes that she cares as much as possible, but it is also her first relationship, so there are many things that are lacking.

She seemed to have to look for it in the future.

“… It’s definitely something to be concerned about. Tomorrow, I will visit Ruggiena Calliope and ask for it.”
“May I?”
“Sure. Is there anything too difficult? Calm down, Mr. Chorin. She probably won’t take very long.”

Actually, this statement is false.

It is true that Lucipheon boasts a great influence in the shadows, but that is only limited to the Empire.

If Chorin’s mother had been lost in another country, it must have taken much longer to find her.

But talking about it is stupid.

Even if he didn’t notice, he wasn’t a pathetic man who casually said something that would make his lover sad.

Gaon’s confident words brought a smile to Chorin’s sad face.

“Then I will believe you. If it’s Mr. Gaon, she will do something for you.”
“Yes, believe me.”

Chorin’s lips, shining under the lights, looked so coveted.

When her eyes met, Chorin slowly closed her eyes, loosened her shoulders, and lifted her head.

At that signal that anyone could tell from her, Gaon turned her head and brought her face to her.

Soon, a soft touch touched her lips.

Like creatures wriggling in her tank, the tongue that met between her lips mingled densely, resounding with the sticky sound of water.

They hand over each other’s saliva, match their breath, and exchange breath while looking at each other with affectionate eyes.

The act of kissing presents new experiences and emotions every moment and every second.

After caressing her mouth for a long time and sharing a kiss, Gaon took her lips off first, thinking that she would not be able to stand it.

“… Let’s go Hayeon will be waiting for you.”
“Yes. Song.”

Fortunately, Ha-yeon was staring blankly at the tank opposite her.

Gaon and Chorin held hands tightly and approached Hayeon.

The date at the aquarium came to an end after some time, and while watching the afternoon parade, they ate at a restaurant that had made reservations in advance.

And after eating, they enter the reserved hotel room and make love violently.

After the relationship ended, the three of them covered themselves with a blanket in front of a glass window overlooking the night view at a glance, looking at the pouring snow.

The huge Christmas tree seen in the distance is already turning white and reflecting the lighting.

Gaon whispered softly as he pulled the two of them deeper into his arms.

“White Christmas.”

Happy times pass.
