320 – In Europe (2)
This trip to Europe is a total of 4 nights and 5 days.
Originally, I planned to travel leisurely for about a week, but unfortunately the period was shortened due to the overlap between the Strategy and the clan schedule.
However, Moon Ga-eun made plans to visit various countries even within that short schedule.
“France, Italy, England. “I’m going to three places like this!”
“You’re going that far in 5 days?”
“Yes. I’m only going to the capital cities. “The first two days are Paris, the last two days are Rome, and the last day is London.”
“Have you decided where to go?”
“No! “It’s a free trip?”
“… ….”
If Kim Chae-eun had a J tendency, Moon Ga-eun was an extreme P.
The countries are France, Italy, and the UK.
The cities are Paris, Rome, and London.
I didn’t have any travel plans other than this and booking a hotel.
No, if it’s going to be like this, why did you make a plan?
When I looked at her with an absurd expression on her face, Moon Ga-eun smiled and looked at me as if there was something wrong.
There is one more person helping out there.
“… It’s gonna be fun.”
“No, this?”
Moon Ga-eun and Kang Joo-yeon didn’t become best friends for nothing.
Even though Kang Joo-yeon was very shy, she liked almost everything Moon Ga-eun asked her to do.
Of course, after meeting me, he likes everything I ask him to do.
“That’s right! Let’s go quickly, quickly. “I need to go out right now and find something fun to do.”
At Moon Ga-eun’s urging, we left the hotel and went outside.
The first place I visited was Notre Dame Cathedral.
One of the must-visit places when coming to France.
Kang Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-eun come from very high-ranking clans, so I thought they wouldn’t like these attractions, but they were more interested than I expected.
No, exactly….
“What is it, Kang Joo-yeon! “Why are you the only one with your arms crossed?”
“… “It’s my heart.”
“Mr. Lee – this fire fox… “If you look away for a moment, you’ll be playing with Jaehyun.”
“That’s why I came on a trip.”
“That’s true, but… !!”
… It seems like anywhere is good as long as it’s with me.
Anyway, Notre Dame Cathedral boasted an enormous size and magnificent appearance, befitting its reputation.
In particular, as the [Joan of Arc long spear], Which is called a ‘legendary relic’, has been stored, the number of holders coming to see it has increased significantly.
In this area, the Louvre already had the best position, but Notre Dame Cathedral was overtaking its stronghold by bringing in an ‘item’ out of nowhere.
“It’s fascinating. The spear that Joan of Arc used also becomes an item.”
Moon Ga-eun was amazed as she looked at the sacred relics displayed inside the cathedral.
I nodded and explained further.
“It’s more than I thought. “The ‘Yonggwanggeom’ used by Song Do-hyuk Holder is also the sword that Haemosu used, and the magic sword used by Hwang Seong-yeon is also a sword from Norse mythology.”
Kang Joo-yeon, who was quietly listening to me, added.
“… Excalibur too.”
“That’s right. “The sword used by England’s S-class holder, William Morris, is also King Arthur’s Excalibur.”
“Wow, that’s right. “It’s more than I thought.”
“The rune abilities and items registered in the system are not entirely from the other world.”
This has been the core argument made by academic circles these days.
The current ‘Holder System’ is a mixture of the history of the other world and the present world.
Most abilities acquired through runes or items follow those of the other world, but as mentioned before, abilities related to legends or myths of the present world also often appear.
‘… The same goes for monsters.’
Right now, the Japanese dungeons I conquered during my time in the Circle.
And the same goes for the monsters that appeared there, the ‘youkai’.
Yokai are monsters that are usually considered to be Japanese legends or folk tales, and the fact that they emerged from a dungeon in Japan meant that there was a clear correlation between the two.
“Next is the Eiffel Tower! Let’s hurry.”
At Moon Ga-eun’s urging, we quickly changed our destination.
Starting with Notre Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Arc de Triomphe, etc….
I visited all the famous places in Paris.
Even though it was a free trip, it somehow felt like the schedule was tighter than a planned trip.
Anyway, we were able to spend the first day of the trip with everyone satisfied.
As I said before, Kang Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-eun had similar tastes, and I was okay with this trip as long as they were satisfied.
“Whoa, I really ran without resting.”
“You also have good physical strength.”
Kang Joo-yeon says a word to Moon Ga-eun, who has a refreshing expression.
Then Moon Ga-eun put her hand on her waist and grumbled.
“Lee – Kang Joo-yeon. “I really wasn’t going to say anything, but how long are you going to monopolize Jaehyun’s arms?”
“… “You kissed me without me knowing earlier.”
“Huh, huh? Look, did you see it?”
… I don’t know why I have to be the victim of this cat fight.
I couldn’t stand it any longer and stopped her two friends from fighting again.
“Stop fighting and now let’s go somewhere with a nice atmosphere.”
“A place with a nice atmosphere?”
“…… ?”
Both lovers looked at me quizzically at my sudden words.
This trip was a free trip left entirely up to them.
But even within that…
It wasn’t that I had no plans at all.
* * *
“Wow, it’s so pretty.”
“… Pretty.”
The place where the two people were brought was Mont Blanc.
It is a mountain located in the Alps Mountains bordering Italy, and is also the origin of the famous brand.
In particular, since it is a mountain called the highest peak in Europe, the view looking down upon reaching the top was quite beautiful.
Clouds visible everywhere and piles of snow piled up here and there.
Those landscapes filled our field of vision.
The beauty of Mother Nature.
This sometimes had the power to be imprinted in one’s mind even without being written down.
“… I like you.”
Kang Joo-yeon, who was crossing her arms, leans her head on her shoulder.
And a confession that is carefully brought out.
I get excited no matter how many times I listen to it.
Then Moon Ga-eun jumped up and clung to me.
“Ah. Fire fox again! “I like you too, Dojaehyeoeon.”
“hahahaha. Don’t be too mean to Juyeon. “Because I like them both equally.”
“Chi-Am I the only one making bad women?”
“Is that possible?”
I kissed her forehead as she was slightly pouting.
Then Moon Ga-eun regains her smile.
“But Jaehyun, how did you rent this place?”
Like most mountainous regions in Korea and other countries, Mont Blanc is a field outside the boundary.
The place where we are standing is the ‘safe zone’ at the top of the Mont Blanc field.
But the only people around are employees of the French Holder Association.
Except for those in charge of entry and exit, this means that in fact, we are the only ones here.
That’s right.
I borrowed it.
“… “Can I borrow your safe zone?”
“It was possible to rent the entire hunting ground after the mid-rest point.”
“… ….”
I spent a lot of money on my trip.
Of course, since this was a discussion with a French association, not with our country, it is difficult to solve it simply with money, but the most influential holder in France was among my connections.
-Permission has been received.
-Thank you, Lemaire Holder.
-Not much to say. Considering the misunderstanding I had with Do Jae-hyun Holder, I should do even more than this.
-Do you still talk about that time? I’m really fine.
-It’s because I’m embarrassed and sorry.
Jean Lemaire.
French S-class holder and special committee member who reviewed my promotion.
When we first met, he had a negative perception of me, but through the screening process, the misunderstanding was resolved and we connected through greetings.
Accidentally, I ended up having the person with the highest position in France as my personal connection.
Thanks to this, renting a safe area at the top of Mont Blanc was not an easy task.
“Anyway, let’s end here tonight.”
“… Good.”
“It’s so pretty!”
We had a happy time appreciating the magnificent view unfolding below the mountain.
And.
“This is a gift.”
Take out a small gift for two people from the magic bag.
Kang Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-eun’s pupils widened at the same time.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Huh?”
“… What?”
Moon Ga-eun is given a small brooch with a green gem, and Kang Joo-yeon is given a pair of brilliant gold earrings.
If you had urgently asked Lemaire today to rent Mont Blanc, these gifts had been prepared for them a long time ago.
“I’ve given many gifts to Chae-eun, but I don’t think I’ve given much to Ga-eun and Juyeon… I prepared to give it to you during this trip. I hope you like it.”
“What are you doing?”
“… ….”
I can see tears welling up in Moon Ga-eun’s eyes.
Kang Joo-yeon also stared at me with her rarely touched face.
… I didn’t gift it to you to see this kind of reaction.
I cleared my throat a few times and explained the items.
“Juyeon wore an earring called ‘Tears of Verde,’ and it allows you to double cast with half the power of the existing magic. “Juyeon uses the Florian spell, so double casting is difficult, so I wanted to replace it with this.”
“… “I think it’s expensive.”
“I have a lot of money.”
Kim Chae-eun is easy to double cast because she uses the [Adrian Spell] Rune, while Kang Ju-yeon is a wizard who uses the standard [Floian Spell].
Of course, more destructive and powerful spells are possible, but I gave [Verde’s Tears] Because I thought there would be many benefits when double casting.
Perhaps she would be able to create a much more diverse battle structure through this.
“Ga-eun’s is a brooch called ‘Heart of the Protected One.'”
“Huh? This can’t be….”
“That’s right. Valkyrie exclusive item. “I had a hard time finding it.”
Moon Ga-eun’s [Valkyrie of the Battlefield].
Among them, [Valkyrie’s Protection], A derivative skill, is a skill that sets the hero you want to protect and grants 20% of your ‘endurance’ and ‘speed’ values to that hero during battle.
Of course, the hero set here is me.
Thanks to this, when I battled with Moon Ga-eun, I was given abilities of approximately 15 to 20.
“In this case, the person receiving the protection is given abilities.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Instead, with muscle strength and mana.”
My strength and magic power are now 110 each.
If you give an additional 20% to Moon Ga-eun, you will get a whopping 22 ability points.
In other words, when Moon Ga-eun fights with me, she gains much stronger power than usual.
… Now, even if we try to separate them, they have become inseparable.
“Kyaa, kyaaa – Thank you, Jaehyun!”
Moon Ga-eun ran to me with all her might and hugged me, then kissed me with a happy face.
Kang Joo-yeon, watching this, raises her eyes.
“I’m going to kiss alone again.”
“Well, what do you think! “He’s my boyfriend!”
“… “I want to do it too.”
A beautiful scenery and a heartfelt gift.
With the travel plans I had prepared going well, the first day of my trip to Europe was coming to an end.
