The sound of waves crashing.
A gentle blue wind blows.
“Ha… that’s good.”
I lay on the sunbed, drank a drink next to me, and sighed.
Yeah… this is life.
“Brother. Are you going to just lie there?”
“Oppa, I’ll take a break and go. You’re playing first.”
“Oh my… I see. Will you come soon?”
“Yeah. Yeah.”
Watching Seo Eun-i’s back running down the sandy beach, I put on my sunglasses again.
Whew, that’s good.
okay. this is life Drinking a mojito while looking at the sea…
okay.
Our Egostream members came on a trip.
Somewhere east to the beach.
***
“Wow… this is the sea…”
“No, you know what the sea is. Why are you so surprised?”
“Evil! Sehee unnie, don’t water it!”
“If you go to the beach, you should play!”
Well, it’s noisy.
I watched the kids play while sipping a glass of green mojito through a straw.
okay. Everyone likes it because it comes to the sea. It feels more lively than the previous regular mountaineering events.
As soon as I got better, we ran straight to the sea.
Of course, even now, if you overdo it, you will bleed again, but as long as you don’t use too much telekinesis or teleportation, it doesn’t matter. That is to say, there is no problem.
Seeing people playing in the water like that, I stretched out my legs on the sunbed again.
“Dain, would you like to have one of these?”
“Oh, yes, thank you. Um… Oh, this is delicious.”
“Is that right? They lined up there and sold them.”
I mumbled the chicken gangjeong given by Mr. Subin.
this is delicious
“I’ll put it here, so let’s eat together.”
“Yeah. I’ll have to buy a few more when the kids come later.”
I still grumbled over the chicken gangjeong and said:
Currently, the two of us are lying on the sunbeds, Soobin and I.
Adults are sitting and resting, and children are having fun at the beach.
Ha-yul and her younger brother Cha-yoon are playing with Desik building a sand castle over there. For reference, Desig wears a doll mask and plays with Chayoon next to him. I thought there would be a problem if a ghost wearing black armor appeared on the beach, so I put it away as a temporary measure.
The children playing in the water at the beach are Seo Eun-i and Eun-wol. And Choi Se-hee. He’s not even a kid, so I wonder why he’s doing that… Well, he looks fun, so that’s ok. In fact, they may be of similar mental age.
“…the weather is warm, so it’s amazing.”
At first, I never thought I would be able to go to the beach this season.
But I didn’t know, but this place exists.
A beach managed exclusively by ten talented people. It is warm here alone like Southeast Asia.
Of course, the usage fee is a bit high as there are ten talented people who look almost like B-class in terms of heroes, but that’s not my part-time job.
Anyway, I sip another cup of mojito like that.
There were quite a few people besides us at the beach. Everyone seems to be enjoying the vacation.
However, thanks to the powerful cognitive-obstructing magic that Eun-Wol gave us, we are all invisible. Even though their hair is black, white, orange, etc., they all don’t give a single glance.
That’s why I had the confidence to bring all the Egostream members with me. I honestly can’t take it.
So, when I was about to drink a mojito again, Soobin, who was lying on the sunbed next to me and sunbathing with me, suddenly murmured.
“…something memorable.”
“yes?”
“When I went to Busan with Dain and Seoeun in the past. Even then, we were both sitting on the sunbed like this, and Seoeun was running around in the sea. I suddenly remember that time.”
“Ah… That’s right. And when I was sleeping in a hotel, a terrorist suddenly came out and woke me up.”
“At that time… I remember Dain just stepping out and calling himself Apple Mango.
“Oh please… Forget about that…”
When I recall the Black History again, my head throbs.
When I pressed my forehead with my hand as if I was dizzy, Subin let out a clear laugh from the side.
“Haha. But thinking about that time now, it’s a memory. Back then, I didn’t know it would be so noisy with so many people…”
Saying so, she stared at the beach.
I also leaned my back on the sunbed and looked at the sea with a mojito in one hand.
Our members laughing and chatting, families coming together, couples playing with children, and even people running around.
…It is a sight that could not be imagined in the original work. By this time, everyone’s life is exhausted, so there’s no way the resort can’t operate normally like this.
okay. Come to think of it, this is the landscape I made.
Well… that doesn’t sound bad.
And on this occasion, I got to know the ten talented people who are in charge of this beach, who did not appear in the original. It’s probably a woman over there wearing a life jacket, a red hat, and sunglasses, isn’t she strong enough to heat a sponge this size? It might be worth finding out later.
“Dain, where shall we have dinner later?”
“After this, we all grill meat at the pension. Barbecue. It’s actually fun with this number of people.”
“Huhu. It’s good. Shall we prepare the ingredients?”
“Maybe Choi Se-hee did everything, but I’ll check it out in a little bit.”
I said that and looked back.
A pension facing the beach.
That’s the pension we planned to stay at for 3 days and 2 nights.
For reference, I put everything in there. Guns, masks, and even cameras. I felt like something was cheap, so I prepared everything and watched it. After the last Busan Hotel Monkey Spanner incident, this has become a habit. I don’t know where or what’s going to happen… Of course, I don’t think it’s going to be anything special this time around.
“Oppa! Sister! Don’t just lie down there, let’s play together!”
“Yeah, guys! Does it make sense to come all the way here and not get a single water?”
As we were thinking about it, we heard a voice calling us. Seo-eun and Se-hee are beckoning to us from the front. Eunwol’s eyes are also sparkling.
“Subin, shall we come and play for a bit now?”
“Yes it is.”
With the words of Mr. Subin who smiled at me and answered, I got up.
We were both wearing swimsuits anyway, so we took off our cardigans and headed to the sea together.
“I am going right now!”
under. How long does it take to empty your head like this and rest?
okay. I’ve been so busy up until this point, I need to rest too. If people overdo it, they die.
What else can happen on a day like this?
If God takes pity on me, then I can’t.
So I went into the sea.
it’ll be a good day

“…By now, Da-in-san must be playing on the beach.”
Seol-ah Lee, who was working, put the pen down for a moment with that thought.
I remember him saying that he was going to hang out with the Egostream members, and he said it without realizing it as if he was having fun.
“…”
ego stick. It makes no sense for him to fall for the villain.
For Lee Seol-ah, who tried to draw him to the hero side and to his side in the long run, it was like a clear blow.
Even thinking of the other Egostream members who were overly wary of her, it gave me a headache.
“….okay.”
As she drank another glass of wine from her glass, Seol-ah Lee fell into thoughts.
ego stick. He clearly showed a bit of an obsession with the Stars.
And that was the thing he was most wary of.
One day, Haru learns all the secrets about Ego-Stick, and Ego-Stick likes Stardus.
If Egostick and Stardus. When the two become a team.
It won’t be easy for Seol-ah Lee herself to squeeze in between them.
Seol-ah Lee, who had been thinking like that, changed her mind this time.
okay. It is true that we have to check the Stardust.
However, more dangerous people were holding Dain without her even knowing.
Egostream members. What if they steal Dain first?
“…I’d rather hand it over to Haru, but that wouldn’t work.”
Can not be done. If the bond between them and the ego-stick, who were wary of them, grows stronger, maybe they can induce Seol-ah Lee to cut ties with him.
that’s not the only thing
If so, how about thinking the other way around?
It’s true that Dine thinks of Stardust as a fan or something special first of all.
then.
“……”
He’s going to be obstructed anyway, so one day you won’t realize he’s egoistic at all. Dain said that he boasted that one of the members had learned the greatest cognitive deprivation magic of all time.
If you look at the Stars you like so much in private and get to know each other a bit, wouldn’t Egostick’s heart gradually lean toward the hero?
Hero Apple Mango. You look cute in the video.
Yeah, just pretending to be a coincidence…
Seol-ah Lee, who was so drunk that she became a little unreasonable.
When the ego stick hears it, he grabs the back of his neck and makes a plan to fall.
I turned on my cell phone and started calling Haru.
“Uh~ Haru. What are you doing?”
“Nothing else, why don’t we go out to see the sea?”
***
Living room, sofa.
During a break after a long absence, Shin Haru, who had been lying on the sofa idly, was fiddling with his cell phone.
But only her finger is on the phone, and her thoughts have been counting elsewhere for a long time.
‘…it must have been an ego-stick…’
He must have seen someone on the roof.
But it’s frustrating to say that no one has ever seen it.
“ha…”
Come to think of it, I’ve been thinking about this all day.
…okay. Maybe it’s strange to believe that he, the villain, appeared on the scene.
…my head hurts.
When Shinharu was thinking like that.
The phone started ringing.
“…Seol-ah?”
What’s going on?
Even though she was puzzled, she answered the phone.
“Oh, you have to stand.”
“What the sea? Let’s go play tomorrow? There’s something warm…”
At the words of Seol-ah Lee who suddenly suggested that we go to the sea tomorrow, Shin Haru, who would have refused as usual, began to think a little.
okay. These days, I get a headache just thinking about ego sticks.
It would be fine to go to the sea once and forget all those things.
One day after thinking about it for a while, I answered Seol-ah Lee.
“Yeah. I’ll go, sea.”
***
“Oh, I forgot to bring a water gun.”
“Hey, it’s Sehee. Are you Annie?”
“What, kid? You know I can’t spray without a water gun. Eight!”
“Kyaak! Unni, why are you spraying it on me too!”
“…Wait. Hey! Don’t you, Dain, do that? Water bombs with abilities are a foul!”
“Yeah. Obstruction of perception, no one noticed~”
“Wait! Surrender, surrender!”
While having fun, I suddenly thought of Stardus.
…what do you want to be doing right now?
Well, if it’s her personality, she’d probably go to work at the association or rest at home.
Come to think of it, for the time being, we won’t see each other again until the next terrorist attack.
With that thought in mind, I threw a water bomb at Choi Se-hee.
“Evil. Hey!”
oh this is kinda fun
