Episode 103. Reorganization time (1)
2 hours ago.
Kim Do-yoon was heading toward the downtown area with Do-rim and Pyo Yu-rim for the weekend.
“Pyoyurim. Did you go out with a cognitive-damping spell on anything other than work? I heard it was like that in Neverland too.”
“that’s right.”
“There’s nothing good about standing out even once, so cast the same magic on Do-rim first.”
“How about Kim Do-yoon?”
I said holding the brim of the cap I was wearing on my head.
“How am I supposed to compromise with this and wearing a mask? Your magic doesn’t work well on me.”
This was very inconvenient. Helpful magic doesn’t work well, but attack magic works well.
“Would it be okay? I’m more worried about Kim Do-yoon than me and Do-rim.”
“What are you worried about? this time you’re by my side They won’t be able to approach it easily.”
“Are you relying on me?”
“okay. I only believe in you.”
When he answered honestly, Pyo Yu-rim straightened his shoulders with a confident expression. If someone else saw it, it would just look expressionless, but I saw it in my eyes.
“all right. If anything happens, lean on me.”
“me too! I will protect you too!”
Dorim raised his hand and shouted. The figure was so cute that I patted the top of my head with the palm of my hand. The child laughs as if it’s funny.
“ruler. Then let’s go.”
In my heart, I wanted to go to the department store, a place where I could be protected by Signal.
After all, today is a day off. I couldn’t use it because the 1st and 3rd weekends of every month were regular holidays. There is a food alley near Signal, but it was a bit like going out and eating alone.
“So many people!”
So, I arrived at the downtown area by taking the train.
Dorim’s eyes brightened. Buildings and people passing by. He looked like he couldn’t come to his senses because he was staring at everything without missing anything.
“Are you having fun?”
“huh! This is the first time I’ve seen so many people!”
I said with a wry smile.
“You can’t just run away or anything like that. Should I stick close to my dad and mom?”
Dorim nodded his head.
This is a child who has been confined in the laboratory for a long time. Everything was just amazing.
‘As expected, it was good to bring him out.’
There was quite a distance from Signal and the downtown area of the city. Because of that, it took some time while moving, and by the time we reached the outskirts of the downtown area, it was already close to lunchtime.
growl
It was then. While I was in the middle of the excitement and running around near Pyoyurim, Dorim came to a standstill.
He glanced at this side of the extension, and wiggled his fingers in a somewhat restless manner.
“hungry?”
“Yes… .”
“You shouldn’t have talked if you were hungry.”
“At the place where I used to be, people would get angry if I said that. If I cry, I’ll just hit him… … .”
I approached Dorim, who was bowing his head, and brought him to eye level.
“I’m fine now.”
“Fine?”
“huh. At least say anything you want in front of your dad and mom. Shall we go eat?”
“really? Can I tell you what I want to eat?”
“then. Of course… … .”
That moment.
An electric current of terrifying anxiety stimulated the peripheral nerves throughout the body.
‘wait for a sec. Come to think of it, I was still a beggar?’
The money I saved at my last part-time job was spent on the last hospital bill. Even the money he had saved aside was used to use the treatment equipment in the Signal Health Room.
If you ask why the use of facilities on campus is not free, the original was a game. Of course, I could only answer that it was the intention of the producer to make players spend money.
“dad?”
When I slurred my words, Do-rim looked at me as if asking why.
“Uh, um. Would you like to wait a minute?”
I was careless.
It seemed that if I met Seol Chae-hwa tomorrow, I would be able to cover the money somehow. So, it was the root of the problem that I had put my mind on.
“Dorim, tell me if you want something to eat. Mom will buy it for you.”
While I was wondering if I should call Seol Chae-hwa and get some urgent money, Pyo Yu-rim suddenly interrupted.
“What about Dad?”
“Dad will buy it for me too. don’t worry.”
this.
It suddenly became a pillar book.
“lol. good! Then I will eat it!”
“Like what?”
“Dengjangjjigae and boiled fish!”
“You can eat something more delicious.”
“Is that the best? My aunt did it.”
Soybean paste stew and grilled fish? It was a basic combination, but I could eat it at home any time, so it was a bit of a chore to choose it for eating out. Looking at the pyoyurim, she seemed to be thinking the same thing.
I said to Dorim.
“Dorim. If you come out, you can eat something better than that.”
“really? really? Then I will eat it!”
Perhaps Dorim did not have the opportunity to try various foods. That’s why the foods that you think are delicious are very limited.
Pyo Yu-rim and I discussed what would be good for a while.
As a result.
“What is this?”
We are a famous family restaurant franchise. I entered Inback Steakhouse.
“Is this pasta?”
“Pasta? So what about this?”
“Call it steak.”
“Tsuteeuk!”
Dorim asked each time food was served.
“But this. Can I feed anything to a three-year-old?”
“Omnyomnyom.”
I suddenly had that thought in the middle, but contrary to my concerns, Dorim’s mouth was a vacuum cleaner. I ate everything they gave me without any picky eating.
They even munched on salads and vegetables that kids might not like.
“… … .”
As I glanced at the stray forest, she felt her gaze and looked in my direction. His eyes were trembling, probably conscious of what I had just muttered.
‘Oh right. He must not know. If it’s not related to me, I’ll forget everything when I wake up.’
It was then.
“Don’t worry, Kim Do-yoon. If Dorim thinks it’s strange, I’ll try my best.”
“Well, with the power of your nature, you won’t have to worry about anything.”
In the meantime, Dorim ate everything in front of him before he knew it, and even spit out a cute burp while drinking soda.
I looked at the condition and luckily it seemed to be fine.
“I should have eaten slowly. Then let go.”
No, there was one part that I didn’t like when I looked closely. I felt unnatural, as if I was eating in a hurry, as if someone was going to steal it and eat it.
“Aren’t you going to take it away?”
From nob le mt l. com
Just as expected. It wasn’t my mood.
“What do you mean take away?”
“If you don’t eat it quickly, won’t you take it back?”
“Dad will stop it so no one will take it away. So next time, chew it thoroughly. got it?”
I still feel the remnants of the pain left by the child, and all I could do was to caress her.

After breakfast and lunch.
We took Dorim, who nodded off, and came out to the street again. He nodded his head up and down as if he was suffering from starvation.
“It looks like Dorim is very sleepy. I will carry it.”
Pyo Yu-rim was willing to step out.
Uh huh
Even so, it crossed the line to touch a man’s last ego. I have no money, no pride.
“I will do this. At least I have to work hard.”
“Mr. Kim Do-yoon. Dealers are always the first to burn out whenever they train.”
“… … .”
“Would you like to hold out your hand?”
I obediently stretched out my hand and the pyoyurim gently held my hand.
I was startled by the fact that the skinship was going on casually, but that was only for a moment.
“So what are you going to do by holding hands out of the blue?”
“Please move your arm once.”
“… … I can’t even move.”
“It is as you feel. So I will carry it.”
I’m running out of things to say.
They must be adults with the same spiritual nature as each other. Why is it that the basic physical ability is lower than that of the stray forest?
‘me. Seeing this, it’s really weak… .’
Because of this, I can’t get picked as a starting dealer and fall.
Feeling impatient, I looked around. I needed something to somehow make up for this trampled pride.
“So, where should we go now? Mr. Kim Do-yoon will decide where to go.”
I barely came up with a good idea at Pyo Yu-rim’s question.
‘I remembered. Apparently, there was that event when I looked around this downtown area.’
I searched for the memory and took the two of them to find it. Fortunately, I was able to find it right away.
“now! It doesn’t come every day! Grab this sword and become a hero too!”
I saw a part-time job attracting customers in front of the arcade.
Wasn’t there such a thing A store that had a target board and gave away prizes if you hit it with an air gun. In Psychic Age, there was a prize entertainment named ‘Sword Master’s Mysterious Adventure’ with a twist.
Abbreviated Sosinmo.
One of the old arcade games. It was similar to a game where you hold a gun-shaped controller in front of a huge monitor and shoot and kill zombies.
After standing on a limited stage, a game in which monsters made of holograms appear and you just have to swing and kill them with a prepared model sword.
‘The original protagonist who was a prosecutor. It was a custom event for Meteor.’
The interior of the arcade was similar to that of a concert hall. I could see devices for projecting holograms and motion sensors for detecting player movements everywhere.
Its performance was inferior to Signal’s hologram projector. The latest hologram projectors realized physical force and pain sensation. It was because there was a possibility of abuse if it was released on the market.
“Yeah. A family of good men and women came to visit us. What would you like? Do you want to play in family mode?”
“I will go to Challenge Mode by myself.”
“You were a customer looking for a prize! If you see that you are going to challenge the challenge mode right away, you won’t need long words. First of all, let me introduce you to the products prepared this month!”
The employee pointed to one side of the game room with his hand. There was a shelf with several products that I had just heard about.
“Dorim. Shall I give you a gift?”
“Um… . Seonmuul? gift?! I want a present!”
Dorim, who had been dozing off but trying hard not to fall asleep, opened his eyes.
Pyo Yu-rim moved closer so that the child could take a look at the products on the shelf.
“Dorim. What do you like?”
“I have this!”
Where the child pointed his finger without hesitation, there was a cute-looking doll.
‘It’s third prize. It won’t be difficult.’
For reference, the second prize was a local gift certificate worth 100,000 won, and the first prize was a console game machine.
“Oh. customer. For reference, if you are an adult, not an adult adult, but an adult with psychic powers, the use of nature is prohibited. Please be aware that the magic detector is working, so if you are caught, you will be disqualified.”
I smiled and received the model sword from the staff.
“No matter. Entertainment can only be enjoyed purely when it is physically enjoyed.”
“Are you so confident? It’s the first time I’ve seen this face, but I’m sure it’s not a deceased person… . Big! I look forward to it.”
What would you do if you were a deceased person? If you are dissatisfied, write in front of the store that it is forbidden to enter the store.
‘Of course, it would obviously ruin the business.’
It looked like it was going to move violently, so I decided to leave the hat to Yurim Pyo for a while.
Before starting the game, I checked the condition of my body by loosening my wrists and stretching lightly.
‘not bad.’
Suddenly, I looked at the employee’s face.
He had a pretty relaxed face. Was he relieved that I was aiming for the relatively inexpensive third prize? Or do you think I can’t beat the challenge mode?
Well, there was a way to show confidence like that. In fact, even in the original work, there was a pattern of dying instantly without knowing anything about the challenge mode in advance.
but.
‘If you already know the pattern, the story will be different.’
As I hold the model sword and pose, the staff. No, no matter how you look at it, the person who looked like the boss operated the machine with a nervous expression.
“dad. Wow! If you squeeze it, it’s not covered!”
As Dorim cheered, his heart was lifted even more.
“okay. Watching Dad wield a sword… … .”
That moment.
ooo!
Without even saying they would start, monsters suddenly started popping up from all sides.
‘Ugh. Do you think I’m being careless and look for an opening?’
I was going to get only enough points for the 3rd prize and have the game over. If it comes out like this, I don’t want to just get over it.
I will definitely give you 1st place even if it’s a shame.
‘Even if you don’t use things like heaven, it’s enough. It’s because there are movements and skills that I’ve become accustomed to while using the delusion practice like a meal.’
Eventually, the moment the monsters approached the striking distance. Firmly gripping the handle of the model sword, I strained my eyes.
shhh! Shaaagh!
Since then, it has been trance.
My sword began to draw neatly without hesitation, like a famous painter’s brush playing on drawing paper.
“Huh? what. Why are you so good… ?”
The murmur of the distraught staff was a bonus.
