139 – I Will Stand Alone
* * *
When Jinseong returned home after using the retaining paper several times, what he saw was an overturning garden.
The garden, which was a mess before Jinseong’s departure, but still maintained its own rules, is now overturned and its original shape unrecognizable.
But even if it’s messed up, life still exists.
Flowers and trees roamed around the garden that had been disassembled, indicating that the garden was still alive, and the flowers using their leaves to move small stones and the trees to move large stones to their branches showed that good intentions were still alive in this land. There was.
Jinseong murmured as he watched this touching scene.
“What is this?”
He blinked a couple of times and moved towards where he felt a presence.
But there were too many obstacles to reach his destination.
It was because it was just right that he bumped into a flower or a tree while walking without thinking.
I can’t count how close I’ve been to kicking a flower that’s carrying pebbles, and three times I’ve nearly hit a tree carrying stones by moving my sharp roots like octopus legs. Moreover, when they almost collided, the tree even warned him by waving its branches as if to warn him to be careful.
And the first thing I saw when I arrived at a place where I could feel the crowd with such difficulty was this Arin moving her arms around like a traffic cop.
What is this Arin so happy about? Standing on a large stone, she was laughing.
And below her were flowers, which moved in perfect order according to Iarin’s movements. The flower faithfully followed her instructions, moving its roots like legs and its leaves and stems like hands.
When Iarin pointed out a place, she stampeded there, poured out her pebbles, or picked up her pebbles, and when she gestured, they moved in a line along her set path. Moreover, she even did her salute by moving the stem and bringing the leaves to her petals, just as if Ia Lin playfully gave her salute, she would answer it.
It was a truly bizarre sight.
But the strange appearance did not end there.
There was a pile of sand that she didn’t know where she got from, and Se-Rin was taking a sand bath there.
She seemed to have used her powers, covering her body with warm sand like a blanket, and making a very happy expression, like a person warming up in an electric blanket in winter. Besides, there were two small trees on either side of her, and the trees leaned against each other to shade her so that she could rest comfortably, and when she opened her mouth for a certain amount of time, their roots would move and open the fruit in the basket to protect her. I put it in my mouth.

‘Seeing as the shade is quite large, there must be a devil over there.’
Jinseong took her eyes off Lee Se-Rin and then walked towards her Lee Ah-Rin.
Iarin, who was playing with the flowers, made a happy expression when she found Jinseong.
“Oh, brother. Where are you going?”
“I’ve been sightseeing for a while.”
Jin-seong lightly responded to her question as if to bruise herself, then pointed her finger at the flowers standing at attention and asked.
“What are these?”
“Huh? A flower?”
“You can see thatNira.”
“Ah, why do you say you’re walking? What is that? Witchcraft? They say you can use it to do this!”
“I know that too. But what I ask is not how this is possible, but why the garden is like this and why the flowers are working.”
Arin Lee, who heard that question, her eyes lit up.
Then she jumped off the stone and landed on her floor before she sprinted in front of Jinseong.
“Hey, brother. That’s what you mean. Was it really great?”
Arin poured out her words as if she had been waiting for Jinseong to ask.
It seemed that the chatterbox had been stitched up for three days before being released.
“What is the Archwitch? Didn’t her expression rot when she saw the garden? And when she looked at the decorations in the house, she made an uncomfortable expression. But, where did Longbi go to eat, she exploded when she saw it? What the hell? , He said that I would tear down and fix all the corners of the house like this chimera, which is hard to be considered a cosmopolitan…”
Jinseong skillfully found the information she wanted to hear in the flood of her words.
‘Truck. I couldn’t overcome my temper.’
Jinseong seemed to paint the image of her archwitch angry in front of her eyes.
A person with a bad temper should be counted from the top.
At least when I saw the garden and the artwork, I could barely control it because I had Jinseong, but my patience, which I was barely maintaining, must have reached a limit when I saw the meal that was needlessly splendid for a meal that had no roots and that Jinseong was gone.
‘Before the return, all the mercenaries avoided him because his temper was so great. I don’t know how it was this time.’
Jinseong thought so and continued to listen to Iarin.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen our kkondae get so flustered? Hey, the real original kkondae is different. I knew what he did to Ella, but what is it? There’s really no comparison to a mother-in-law in a morning drama. Really… Hmm.”
Arin stopped talking and glanced at her.
Then, fearing that Odilia might hear it somewhere, she brought her mouth to his ear and spoke in a whisper.
“That, I’ve known since he bullied Ella that his personality was broken. Wow. He was admirably stubborn.”
She clung to Jinseong’s side as she spoke in whispers like that, but when she noticed that her body was full of sweat, she slipped away.
Then she casually spread her distance slightly and went on with her words.
“We old-fashioned people just said that there’s no problem, they decorated it in their own way, what’s the problem?” And then they were talking about the Japanese garden and the freewheelingness of the English garden. Just like how a pretty older sister explained it, it was very difficult and explained something so that it seemed like there was something in it. Yes, and then…”
This Arin twisted her fingers through her own hair and smiled at her.
When she thought of that time, she seemed to burst into laughter again.
“Wow, really. Normally, I should be angry because our old-timers were cursed at. The words he said were so absurd and funny that I didn’t even get angry.”
“Hmm.”
“Because I said this? Long rain, wait a minute.”
This Arin smiled a few times and then straightened her expression, and then she took on a solemn expression, as if she were trying to imitate the Archwitch. She then frowned, and she toned it up a bit, and she simulated the archwitch’s vocal chords.
“Wherever an adult says something, you talk back bluntly! How old are you-!”
“Her.”
“Where do you open your eyes straight!If it’s what Leun is saying, you have to listen carefully and carefully think that it’s a good thing or a right thing to say. You said that I would give you blood and flesh and give you advice and clean things up, but what’s the problem-!”
After this Arin finished her imitation, she giggled at what was so funny.
“Wow, really. It was absurd to say that she looked like an older sister on the outside. But it’s true that she’s older than us… Really…”
“Hmm. Still, being rude is right.”
When Jinseong said that, Arin shook her head.
“It’s okay. Well, it’s true that I was rude, but it was absurd rather than unpleasant. Besides, after I said it, I wondered if I had come to my senses, so I apologized with respectful words. And as an apology, I said that I would change the garden and interior decoration myself. All at my own expense. In addition, he said that he would actively help the Kwangyang Group advance into Germany, so wouldn’t this be enough business?”
When she said that, she smiled slightly.
Then, as if she were secretly covering her mouth, she said:
“And, that. I also thought that it would be nice to change things like the interior and meals. Isn’t good good?”
This Arin said so and she climbed the stone again. Then she gestured, and again she called the flowers together, and as she did before, she began to give orders to the flowers.
Jinseong stared at it, then she entered the house.
And as he was on his way to his room, he ran into her archwitch.
“Hick.”
As soon as the great witch saw Jinseong, she was startled.
Odilia was startled, as if she had been caught doing something bad, and then she took a step away from Jinseong. Then she looked at Jin-seong’s eyes slightly, then she cleared her throat and said.
“That… Are you here?”
The way she turned her pupils to one side resembled a misbehaving puppy avoiding her gaze. Jinseong looked at her and then approached her and asked.
“How could you be so rude?”
“Kuhmm. Hmm.”
At his questioning, the archwitch coughed a few times and avoided Jinseong’s gaze.
However, she couldn’t win over Jin-seong’s gaze staring at her, and squeezed her words out as if making excuses.
“Isn’t it too much to do?”
It was an excuse a child would make.
