252 – [C] News list of a certain vacation (4)
#252
‘Oh, no. ‘Maybe it’s not him?’
I also thought it was too hasty.
Why on earth would Kang Xian and his acquaintances be on the news in the first place?
Moreover, among all the many academy cadets, he is the one.
This could be said to be a nonsensical matter.
‘Yes, it must be a coincidence.’
Ines tried to ignore it.
There was no benefit to be gained by doing so, but it was because it was too strange by my standards.
Something that cannot happen next to an ordinary patriot.
So, I once again tried to listen to the news with my brain out.
– “A total of 3 people captured 6 SS knights who caused an uproar in Ireland. I can say that this is truly amazing. What do you think, Kate?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Three people…… That guy, the elf woman, and the dragon woman…….”
– “It could be said that he is a role model for first-year students at Palaistra Academy who have only been enrolled for a few months. “I remember cases like this being very rare in the history of the Academy.”
“They are all first graders like me… ….”
– “On the one hand, it could be said to be almost a unique case. The courage to step forward even in the face of danger, the morality to save people, the humility to avoid revealing personal information, and even skills. “I think this is probably the first year I’ve had everything.”
– “Courage, morality, humility…… Skill.”
The problem was that it became impossible to do so due to the overlapping information.
The more I listened, the more I felt like I was only denying it.
And here is what reached its peak.
This was when a mosaic photo of the three arrestees appeared on the monitor.
“The physique… ….”
Kang Xian and two of Kang Xian’s acquaintances.
The three of them were as tall as themselves.
Interestingly, the mosaic photo that appeared on the monitor was also like that.
Even strangely, the color combination of the clothes was close to something I had seen often.
That was real.
There is nothing to do other than deny it.
– “Also, there is one interesting thing. The two people are from Korea’s N conglomerate. Kate, are there any companies that come to mind?”
– “Well…… Yo. This? Since I don’t know much about Korean companies… ….”
– “Hmm, I see. “According to the reporter who first reported it, one of the members of a large company is an executive of the company.”
– “Oh my god. “You’re an executive at a large corporation who attends the academy?”
Korea, N large company, executive.
Even to Ines, who did not know anything about the acquaintance, it was clear who it meant.
“Is she that elf woman then?”
A woman who appeared to be from a wealthy family.
She was a woman who was presumed to be in a fairly high position, as she was able to freely enter corporate branches.
I was wondering why a woman like that would attend the academy. She
She Anyway, it was clear that she was a very unusual person.
Ines stared at the monitor.
She was very blank, and at the same time she seemed suspicious.
‘But…… ‘Why did they go to Ireland?’
What I said before the vacation approached. She said that she and her acquaintances were going somewhere for a while during her vacation.
For the time being, the idea was to exercise on your own, and Ines herself was not particularly interested in where she was going.
No matter where you go in the first place, where would a fresh-faced cadet go on vacation?
It was safe to say that there was no other place than a home with my parents’ warm food and palms.
Of course, it would be a little different if they were orphans, but that didn’t mean they didn’t have a home in their home country.
That’s why I expected to go to Korea.
But what do you mean by Ireland?
‘Group trip with 1 man and 2 women?’
It was truly a strange combination.
No, to be honest, it was an impure combination.
Ines grew up in the United States of America, a land given by God after a spiritual struggle.
For her, who had some degree of Evangelicalism, this was very heretical.
“…… “I guess not?”
She never thought that way because she never had the experience of traveling with her friends.
Really, anyway, it wasn’t.
And now we are in the digital age.
I was able to learn enough about that from the internet.

My friends include internet friends.
According to those who enjoyed Everyday, it was said that men and women leaving in unmatched numbers was a sign of being possessed by Satan.
Of course, this may not be true for some.
If you think about the relationship between the three, the problem is that there seems to be a high possibility that they do not belong to some of them.
“This is suspicious… ….”
Beyond being suspicious, it kept getting on my nerves.
She said it was someone else’s business, but she was too interested in it.
I feel like my emotions are being pricked in every corner.
On the other hand, I hope not.
She almost wanted to ask honestly.
But she was afraid that if she did that, her karma would come back.
“It would be better if we never met from the beginning… ….”
So there was nothing that could be done.
Inez was a piece of shit, and no matter how wild she was, it was impossible to do anything other than watch.
All standards and lines were clear.
Thinking about that, her entire body lost all strength.
My steps have subtly slowed down.
It was then.
Crooked─
“What?!”
She lost her footing and fell on the treadmill.
A thump sound rang out.
Her treadmill stopped as soon as she stopped.
Ines stroked her forehead that had hit her treadmill.
“Ah…… ! Really…… !”
She sat down complaining of her pain.
Soon, the stinging gazes of those around me came flooding in.
“Huh?”
People riding the treadmill were looking at them.
I was surprised and truly worried.
“Are you okay there?”
One of her men stopped her running and held out her hand to her.
Ines tried to hold on to this.
“… ….”
But, he stopped midway and stood up on his own.
This, this wasn’t quite right.
“Sorry!”
Then he ran away as if he was ashamed of his appearance.
I ran towards the bathroom and got stuck in the corner of the toilet stall.
Time passed in vain.
Ines came out of the toilet stall and stood in front of the mirror with an even more gloomy expression.
This is a truly pathetic and incomparable version of myself.
I gritted my teeth and washed my face for a while.
I was really worried about the water tax.
Actually, I looked at the dark-skinned face once again, with sweat wiped off.
He thought of something.
He rolled his fingers and eventually clenched his fists, shaking.
“You have to change it now.”
He didn’t mean that he was exercising.
That was enough for now, to the point where I was satisfied.
In the past, I couldn’t even run home from the academy.
But now, even though it was very difficult, I was able to run.
“We can get closer only when we stop accumulating karma.”
This was a remark criticizing his own attitude.
At the same time, it was also a will to change the attitude that was endlessly tolerant of only certain types of people.
It was probably difficult.
Because people’s habits and nature do not change that easily.
“But you still have to do it.”
There is still plenty of vacation left.
You can stop creating more karma.
‘You think that guy is in front.’
So, I stared at the mirror and fantasized about something.
He said that the reflection of himself is the person he desires more than anyone else.
“Mi…… Mi…… Oh, you crazy little bastard—no. “You can’t do this.”
This is the same as usual.
Failure.
“Hey, you idiot. Are you busy today? I’m not that busy— damn it! Ah!”
It seems worse than usual.
Failed again.
“What should I call you? Mr. Sian? Babe? But this is so cringy…….”
It’s too hasty.
Failed again.
“Kang, Kang Xian. I think…… “Sweet, I don’t think that’s the right thing to say.”
Something is very awkward.
Continues to fail.
“What should I do with this?”
Chronic communication disorder.
No matter what I did, no natural answer came out.
Only then did Ines reflect a little on the kind of life she had been living.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have been a little more conciliatory and learned conversation skills.
“Damn.”
But even if you regretted it, it was already too late.
The only thing Ines needed to do now was ‘effort’ and ‘will’ to somehow lead the conversation in a positive way.
“I can do it.”
The only thing left is time.
The woman’s voice showed no sign of leaving her bathroom.
On that day, the next day, and the day after that.
I often went to the bathroom to practice speaking.
It was a remarkable change.
It was even positive.
“Hey, don’t use the women’s bathroom on the west side of this gym.”
“Why?”
“Is there a ghost in the women’s bathroom? Or is there someone strange? “I keep hearing nonsense.”
“Hang? What nonsense? “This is my first time hearing it.”
“Well, I heard it’s a delusion that makes me feel like I’ve never held hands with a man since I was in school…… “Anyway, don’t go because you might lose your luck to Ada.”
“Uh…… Okay.”
Except that at some point, a rumor spread that there was a crazy pervert in the women’s restroom who had ugly delusions.
Anyway, it was a strange but surprising change.
“… ….”
Or not.
