191 – The Nymph and the Ugly Chick # 1
191 – The Nymph and the Ugly Chick # 1
━Zuji… !
Honey Ant Angangi climbed on the rock and gave instructions as always.
Then, the ants who were listening to Angangi’s story spoke as if they were saluting.
━Doji… !
━That’s right… !
━Dooji… !
They were all knight ants whose silver bodies shined like plate armor.
Among them, there were those with shiny bodies and scars, and others with their horns cut off. According to Oinoi, “Honey ants consider battle wounds an honor…” !”Lana.
In fact, the knight ant ‘Doji’, who had a nice X-shaped scar on his back, seemed to be treated well among many knight ants.
━Doji… !
As the knight ant Doji shouted loudly, the ants stood in line.
They were new recruits whose silver carapaces sparkled and shined like new armor they had just purchased. Doji taught these ants various things.
How to dig land.
How to avoid natural enemies such as tiger owls.
How to fight in groups, etc.
━Pants… !
━Toilet paper… !
The ants trained hard, and when I watched them, I felt happy for no reason.
I thought the security of Taecho Village would get better.
However, not all ants followed the training well.
━Le… Rji….
From what I observed, ‘Leji’ was an ant who was poor at training and not good at various things.
They couldn’t do the rituals like turning left or turning right, and they couldn’t keep their six legs in sync with the other ants, so their feet got twisted and they fell.
The color was not just silver, but a dull chrome color. It looked just like the hated baby chick among the elegant swans.
“Yes, there are some friends who fall behind like this during training. “It reminds me of the old days.”
As I watched the ants rolling around in the field after the harvest, memories came flooding back to me.
Nowadays, Awakened people are working like celebrities or successful freelancers, but until about 8 years ago, Awakened people were closer to soldiers.
Around the time when I started to take charge of a platoon of about 24 people beyond the 8-member squad -.
It was around the time of cool fall when the 2nd generation students were recruited as new recruits.
━She is the daughter of Telos Group?
━Because the world is falling apart, women and children of large corporations are being dragged into the military without any reason.
━I heard you also have a son from Osa Group. I think it’s him. He. Jeonghoon Lee. hehehe, he died if he came to my platoon.
At that time, the second generation students were boys and girls with outstanding topicality.
There were many family members of owners of large corporations, sons and daughters of high-ranking officials and politicians, and many who were idols.
The reason why Awakened activities started to look like celebrity activities was when the 2nd generation members, who had been celebrities since their trainee days, started working in earnest.
Reporters and fans just came to the front of the training center and took pictures, so it wasn’t an uproar?
Anyway.
It was around that time that I met a girl who was all scruffy and had only black eyes.
━I… I’m Ari… Yuari….
Although he was a fellow student who was conscripted on the same day, he was different from Seo Ye-rim, who acted arrogantly and was a celebrity from the beginning.
At the time, Ari was a very shy and shy girl.
She had a low voice and could not speak clearly.
As a platoon leader at the time, I was very worried about that.
I thought that if I took a passive and quiet child into the crack, someone would definitely get hurt or even die.
At that time, Oinoi clenched her fists and shouted as if she could not stand it anymore.
“Oi noi, she tried to bear it somehow, but she just couldn’t bear the smell of flashbacks from the past…” ! Before you hit me too hard, I’m telling you to stop reminiscing about the past… !”
“I see.”
I escaped from the memories of the training camp, which had now become a blurry memory.

I liked turning on social media and seeing news from various people.
Looking at how other people other than me are living – how well they are doing and what they are doing – was one of the habits I developed when I started to stagnate in the D class.
When someone gets a new car, gets married, or goes on an overseas trip and posts a photo, I’m just jealous.
I also feel sorry for myself.
Of course, now that I have started to slow down again, I feel quite calm even when I look at pictures of other people doing well.
「Imp Barbar and Raccoon Leaf, welcome party!」
Last night, I laughed while looking at the photo that her younger sister, Ha Yi-rae, posted on social media.
Imp Bar Bar and Raccoon Leaf were taken over at her house, and it seemed like they had a welcome party for her, buying cake and ordering chicken with her mom and dad.
Tidik, Tididik, Didik-.
As I unlocked the front door and entered, her mother, who had contacted me in advance, welcomed me.
“Welcome. “Hello Oinoi!”
“It means hello to everyone… ! It’s nice to meet you… ! First of all, Oinoi wants to release Keongkeungi into the living room… ! They also plan to let Angang and Bangkkung out in the living room… !”
Saying that, Oinoi held up the rainbow-colored Rainbow Ling Yingying in her hand and showed it to her mother.
His expression and posture seemed as if he was very proud.
━Yingyingyaing.
“Look at this rainbow cloud… ! It is clear that no nymph or god can have such wonderful clouds… ! The name is Yingying… !”
“The number of amazing animals has increased again! Cloud?”
As the brief greeting ended with various feelings, I found Hi-rae.
“Where is Hi Rae?”
“She went to the mountains to play with her dad, taking Li Franvar Bar to train! Oh my, he suddenly became an awakened person… , All the fuss is gone… ! “The imp and the raccoon are cute.”
Mom seemed very worried about Hyrae, who had become an awakened person after turning twenty.
Mom asked.
“Ildo, didn’t you have to go to training camp for a month these days? Will Irae be able to do well in the training camp? Can’t you do something? “You’re doing well these days!”
What can I do about her younger brother going to training camp?
It seems like they’re asking if they can send me to an easy place and let me suck honey, but I’m actually not that great.
And even if you train hard, you will be aware that the life of an awakened person is not easy.
“So what’s going on at home?”
“No, I just stopped by on my way nearby.”
I was heading to the address her mother had sent me to.
I thought it would be a good idea to buy some amulets.
My younger sister, Ha Irae, seemed to have awakened to a similar level of spiritual ability, so it was clear that buying her some tools like talismans would be helpful.
With that feeling, I left the neighborhood and headed to an underdeveloped place.
It was an area that had missed the development boom of the 5th industrial revolution, and was a residential area lined with very old houses.
“Jugong Apartment is over there, so the address is…” .”
As I passed the playground, which I don’t know when it was last painted, and headed toward a slightly more secluded alley, I saw a colorful flag in the distance planted high in the sky.
━Kkeongkeong-.
━Wangwang-.
When the dog barked loudly, Oinoi tightly held the coin purse on her waist as if she was tense.
“It looks like puppies will come out of nowhere and aim for Oinoi’s coin bag… ! Last time, I had my coins stolen by dogs… !”
Recently, Oinoi had her coin purse stolen by a stampede of puppies from somewhere, but luckily, she met the puppies on the street and recovered the coins.
Since then, I have become wary of dogs.
“Ah! That guy… !”
Oinoi is very surprised as if he has discovered something.
“They say we need to hit them hard… !”
Oinoi ran somewhere like a bee farm guy who found a wasp.
Have I met the puppy from last time again?
Oinoi clenched his fist and hit something.
“Nymph Bigi, hitting me hard… !”
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo-.
It was neither a dog nor a wasp that suffered this sudden violence….
“Hey… ! I’m telling you not to beat up this Moralis… !”
It was Moralis, the nymph of muddy water!
After calming down Oinoi well, I helped Moralis, who had fallen on the floor, get up.
“Moralis, what are you doing here? What you mean is that Ari is also nearby?”
I asked, but actually, there was nothing strange about Moralis being around here.
Because the house with the flag over there was Yua-ri Yu-ri’s maternal grandmother’s house.
Zek-.
I went into the house with the flag with Moralis.
Giik-.
The door was open, and the yard was littered with figurines of Buddha statues and spirits that Oinoi and nymphs liked to hit and destroy.
While I was looking around at the strange yet familiar atmosphere, Oinoi spoke.
“For some reason, it feels familiar…” !”
Did Oinoi feel something too?
I knocked on the front door.
Moralis spoke soon.
“Ari says open the door… !”
Then, I thought I could hear someone coming from inside, and someone appeared through the glass window of the front door.
The door opens with a clang.
Soon Yua Lee, wearing black sweats, showed her face to me.
“Moralis, you said you were playing outside, why did you come so early?”
Looking at him yawning and rubbing his eyes, he looked like he had just woken up.
From noble mtl dot com
Her hair was frizzy as if it hadn’t been washed, and her sweatpants were wide open, exposing the white T-shirt inside without being filtered.
The most noticeable thing was the large bruise around the left eye.
It looked like he had been hit by someone.
“Ari, are you here? “What’s wrong with those eyes?”
“Wow!”
Crash!
The opened door quickly closed.
“Ugh… ! Seniors… ! I didn’t even expect you to come visit me, but I was so surprised to suddenly meet you like this… ! With Moralis… !? Now, wait a minute… !”
Kwadang, Passuk, Tungtang-.
A loud rustling sound was heard beyond the front door.
