Episode 352
We got on the gate and arrived at Jeju Island, the destination of our school trip.
Although it is Korea, the exotic scenery as if I came to a foreign country came into my eyes.
Palm trees, long stretches of tourist hotels, resorts, entertainment facilities, multinational tourists….
I had visited once to participate in the fair, but it feels new to come back for the purpose of travel.
“Then, from now on, I will hand out invitations for the Jeju Fall Festival. ”
The Jeju Fall Festival is held for three days once every three years, and an exclusive hotel and various theme park leisure facilities are provided for festival participants, so an invitation is required.
We received invitations to the festival handed out by the teacher.
The invitation was a golden ticket containing a complex magic spell.
“Hey, is there anyone who hasn’t received an invitation?”
“Yes.”
“Then, let’s go straight to the festival site.”
We traveled by bus.
After about 20 minutes, we were able to reach the huge gate with a gorgeous appearance.
Inside the gate, tall buildings, various amusement facilities, and a huge park were visible.
“Im here. Everyone get off!”
When I got off the bus, I saw a huge banner reading ‘Jeju Fall Festival’ in front of the door.
I came to the festival only after seeing that. I felt that
“and. There are so many people.”
“I don’t have time to sleep, so I’ll enter right away. As I said before, when you enter, just show the invitation you gave out earlier. Got it?”
“Yes.”
We each held out an invitation and went inside the festival.
As soon as I entered, a hotel with a splendid exterior caught my eye.
The admiration of the students who saw this
exploded here and there.
“Wow!”
[Jeju Grand World]
It was a lodging for students to stay for two days on a field trip.
As you can see from the outside, this is a top-notch hotel that just about anyone can stay at.
“That’s cool.”
“I know.” At that time
, Hayoung Yoon, who was looking around
with childlike eyes next to me, tapped my arm.
“Seonwoo. Look over there!”
He turned his head in the direction Yun Ha-young pointed.
In front of the hotel stood a huge stone hareubang, a symbol of Jeju Island.
At the same time, the benefit of the outsider was activated, and the complicated magic in Dolhareubang caught my eye.
“……oh.”
Inside the dol hareubang, there was a spell that purifies the surrounding mana and air
.
It also contained a mysterious aura that boosted the physical condition of the people around them.
“Isn’t that Dol Hareubang?”
“Oh right.”
‘Symbols’ containing local traditions often have special powers like this.
Dolhareubang in Jeju is no exception as it has traditions and symbols.
“Wow. First time I’ve seen it. amazing.”
Then shush shuk shuk. Yoon Ha-yeong let out a strange breathing sound.
…what are you doing?
While looking at Yun Ha-young with strange eyes, she hears teacher Lee Hee-young’s voice.
“Come on, everyone, take the key. Three people use one room.”
Teachers handed out accommodation keys (cards) to students.
I ended up sharing the same room as Lee Seo-joon and Shin Young-jun, who were members of the same team.
On the female side, Yoon Ha-young, Lee Hyeon-joo, and Yoo-ara share a room. It was
a natural result because there were 6 people in the same group
.
“Come to think of it, I have the same members as last year’s field trip.”
Lee Seo-jun, who received the key, muttered with a face locked in memories.
“oh. I know?”
Shin Yeongjun also nodded as if he remembered. And the teacher’s voice came again.
“Now then, each of you can unpack your luggage at your lodging and come back here in an hour.”
After unpacking at the dorm, each group gathered on the first floor.
It is too much for 150 people to work together, so they are divided into 3 teams of 50 people each.
Our group was ‘Team 1’, and the teacher in charge was Lee Hee-young.
“Everyone, please take care of each other so that the members of the group do not get lost!”
Team 1’s first destination was the ‘Aquarium’.
You may think you can appreciate the beautiful school of fish in the sea just by hearing the name, but the reality is a little different.
cooong!
There was a loud sound of something crashing through the transparent glass window that gave a clear view of the sea.
When I turned my head, I saw a huge octopus sucker clinging to me.
“Wow wow…! Giant monster octopus Shin
Yeongjun shouted loudly with his eyes shining.
As if responding to that cry, the giant octopus moved its teeth between the suckers and scratched the window.
I squinted at the horrific visual.
Even before returning home, I went to an aquarium on a field trip, but I’ve never seen a giant octopus.
“…uh what is that?”
Yuara and Lee Hyeon-joo also walked backwards with frightened expressions, as if the guy was disgusting.
“Aww! mother! I’m scared!”
In the background, a child whose innocence was destroyed was crying in her mother’s arms.
For some reason, I feel pitiful.
At that time, Heeyoung Lee’s voice was heard from afar.
“That giant octopus is said to be a descendant of the famous ‘Kraken’, a catastrophic marine monster.”
At this, the students reacted in amazement.
“Kraken? uh? I’ve heard of that!”
“Yeah. Somehow it was so big. You are a descendant of a calamitous monster.”
I was also surprised by Lee Hee-young’s words.
A descendant of the Kraken?
I stared blankly at the octopus.
The giant octopus that fell from the glass window was swimming freely in the sea.
At that moment, the octopus must have sensed my gaze, stopped still, and turned its eyeballs towards me.
For a moment, I was shocked and my body stiffened.
…what. are you seeing me
Swoop. The octopus lifted one of its legs
and snarled at me as if greeting me.
“……uh?”
And Ha-Young Yoon, who found it, looked at me and the octopus in turn and said.
“Seonwoo. Doesn’t that look like something to say hello to you?”
“…Uh?”
“Wow. amazing. Will you accept my greetings? hi!”
Yoon Ha-young waved her hand at the octopus.
At that action, the octopus ignored Yoon Ha-young and disappeared somewhere.
“…what. I was ignored.”
Yoon Ha-young cried.
I was staring blankly at the glass window where the octopus disappeared, when I heard Lee Hee-young’s cry again.
“Okay then, let’s go to the next place!”
After all the viewings at the aquarium,
we went to a nearby high-class restaurant for lunch and ate seafood dishes.
I wondered why I had to eat seafood after watching the sea monster, but I heard the answer that it was because it was a restaurant reserved by the school.
Fortunately, as a high-end seafood dish, the taste was excellent.
Mana Lobster and Salmon Salad.
It was a taste that made me completely forget about the gross marine monsters in the aquarium.
After the meal, Team 1
gathered in front of the restaurant.
Lee Hee-young looked around at everyone and said.
“You worked hard to follow me. Now, the remaining time is free activities among the members! All you have to do is gather in the 1st hall by 5:00 p.m. tomorrow.”
wow! As soon as Lee Hee-young finished speaking, cheers erupted from the students.
“Finally free. Where shall we go?”
Lee Seo-joon smiled and told everyone.
“There is also an amusement park. Do you want to go there?”
Lee Hyeon-joo shook his head at Shin Young-jun’s opinion
.
“I don’t like amusement parks… Oh, they say there’s a Shinbi exhibition, shall we go there?”
Everyone nodded their heads when Lee Hyun-joo gave his opinion.
“Exhibition Hall? It’s good.”
“But isn’t the exhibition tomorrow?”
I answered Yoon Ha-young’s question instead.
“Tomorrow, undisclosed items will be released, and it will be open today too.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
“Then let’s go.”
So we moved in the direction of the exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall was packed with a fountain show and a special mystery auction, in addition to a party fireworks display tomorrow night.
When I arrived at the place, I saw a huge building.
As it is the place where the main event is held, it was crowded with many tourists.
“Wow. I thought there were a lot of people at the aquarium, but there are more people here?”
“Because there are many things to see.”
I looked around and took a careful look.
‘It’s because a small incident that will happen on the school trip tomorrow is going to happen right here.
Of course, it is not said that terrorism takes place on a grand scale like the previous incident.
It was an incident that passed so quickly that even Lee Seo-joon and his party barely noticed.
By the way, the culprit who will cause the incident
“……Hmm?”
At that time, I felt a gaze from somewhere.
As I turned my head to follow the gaze I felt, a bumpy-haired man wearing a baseball cap and a blonde woman wearing sunglasses were staring at me and whispering.
face for the first time.
But somehow the atmosphere is familiar.
‘….”no way.’
Just in case, I used [Detection of Person].
And when he saw the opponent’s information floating in front of his eyes, he froze for a moment.
why are they here?
They have nothing to do with this case.
No, if I had to ask, there’s no reason they shouldn’t come.
“…Kim Seon-woo?”
I hear a voice calling me, as if my expression hardened without realizing it.
When I turned my head, Lee Seo-joon was looking at me with a questioning face.
“What’s going on? You have a bad expression.”
I shook my head.
“Nothing. don’t mind.”
As I tried to smile and say this, Lee Seo-joon turned his gaze to the direction I was looking at.
I followed Lee Seo-joon and turned my gaze to the place where the two of them had just been.
There was no one there.
9 o’clock in the evening.
After all the tours, the schedule for the first day of the school trip was finished.
We returned to the hotel and prepared to rest.
“When are you going to sleep?”
When Shin Yeong-jun took out the clothes from his bag, he asked me and Lee Seo-jun.
“well. Around 11 o’clock?”
Lee Seo-joon also took out his clothes and said. Then he turns his gaze to me.
“You, Seonwoo?”
“I think I’ll sleep well around that too.”
While saying that,
I looked at Lee Seo-joon and Shin Young-jun’s clothes.
I wanted to take out my pajamas, but now I see that they are sportswear. I asked in a moment of bewilderment.
“…You guys, do you really want to come all the way here to train?”
“Of course you should. There’s a good training ground in the basement. Even the infant decided to go with you, but you didn’t go?”
I shook my head at Lee Seo-joon’s question.
“…Oh, I’m done. I have something else to enjoy.”
In addition to the training ground, there are various entertainment facilities such as a casino game room and a spa in the basement of the hotel
.
Among them, the best is the ‘Mana Hot Spring’, which has become famous for stabilizing the body’s mana.
To me this is more important.
“okay? do whatever you want.”
Lee Seo-jun finished with those words and left the room with Shin Young-jun.
I also packed clothes to enjoy the hot springs.
“Hmm. Shall we go?”
I walked out the door with a heart full of excitement.
And I pressed the button on the elevator.
ding. There was a sound and the door opened.
A man was standing inside. He was carrying a cute bath basket as if he was going to the Mana Hot Springs like me.
I gulped at the sight of the man’s face.
this man. It was the man I had met earlier at the exhibition hall.
My heart trembled for a moment, but
I pretended nothing was wrong and boarded the elevator.
As expected, the button on the third basement level, where the mana hot springs were located, had already been pressed.
There was an awkward silence for a while, and then the elevator started to descend.
“hi?”
then the man said
It was just me and the two men in the elevator, so he was talking to me.
I don’t know what he meant by greeting me, but he nodded his head slightly.
“Ah yes…♦.
Then the man said.
“Do you know who I am?”
I was a little taken aback by the question.
…Why is he suddenly like that?
“no. Who are you?”
“…You know this, but you pretend.”
the man said
I seemed suspicious, so I took a deep breath and activated [Overimmersion].
“I really don’t know, who are you?”
Do you really not know?”
Thanks to the effect of over-immersion, the man made a slightly embarrassed expression, probably feeling my sincerity.
“Yes. Who are you and do you pretend to know me?”
The man looked me in the eye and smiled.
“I’m Eunseong hyung.”
