Episode 108

“Okay! Everyone calm down. Who’s out on the scene right now?”

“Oh, so the two youngest ones and one person from the rescue team.”

“Call them immediately and tell them not to move and to stand by. And the rescue team leader?”

The main PD cleaned up the messy yard of Su-ah and Su-ho’s house.

Looking at the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem like we should be interfering now… … but.

“Wow! What is it?”

Su-ah has already run away. That guy too.

“What are you doing?”

“Content.”

“Do you have permission?”

“Yeah, I just got it. I’ll use it after confirming it with the making-of video.”

What, when did you get that?

A bewildered expression naturally appeared on my face at Lee Seon-ah’s words… … For some reason, it seems like there are many strange and amazing people around me.

“Oh! Are you watching it like this? Real-time?”

“That’s right. If you look at the camera over there, there’s a red light on. That means it’s recording.”

“Oh! Then should I go out too??”

“That’s not it. If you want to go out with a little girl, you have to pay her appearance fee, right? Oh, and you have to get her permission to appear first. If you don’t do that, you’ll definitely be edited out.”

“aha!”

Su-ah quickly became attached to the main producer, Dong-seok Ko, and became absorbed into the production team as if she had been a part of the production team from the beginning.

It seems like I’m the only one playing alone here… … .

“Huh? Are you the cafe owner?”

“Oh, yes. I got a call earlier, but I guess you’re busy right now.”

“Yes. I finally saw the guy who was feeding me all this time. Please come inside for now.”

One of the youngest line pretended to know me.

Thank goodness. It was almost embarrassing.

I followed her in, carrying the packaged pasta.

Su-ah and Su-ho’s house was a small, ordinary Western-style house. It was the kind of house you would commonly see in the countryside.

The yard was also finished with cement.

Cleaning and maintenance will be easy.

I guess they finished it with that in mind.

It’s actually a better place for children who spend most of their time at school.

Why~

“Are there a lot of people?”

Rangi was standing in a corner, and when he saw me, he ran over and rubbed his head against mine.

The guy who usually acts cool seems a little flustered with so many people suddenly at home.

You probably have never seen this many people in a cafe.

‘Should I take you to my house today? Oh, Su-ah will take you.’

I looked at the production crew moving busily while caressing Rangi.

Naturally, it didn’t seem like a situation where I could eat a midnight snack right away.

“Is the rescue team ready?”

“yes.”

“Then let’s go.”

As soon as we entered, the production crew and rescue team members stood up from their seats.

And then PD Ko found me late and made an embarrassed expression.

“I’m sorry about this. I think we should go now… … .”

“Uncle PD~! Can we follow you too? I won’t bother you at all and will stay quietly by your side!”

“Huh? Hmm.”

Since when did you become an uncle?

Su-ah stood next to PD Ko and pretended to be friendly with him.

PD Ko looked a little embarrassed, so he tried to stop him… … .

“Okay. We’re just filming what the rescue team is doing anyway, so it’s not much different from Su-ah. Instead, you’re just going to stick with us?”

“Yes! Sir! Let’s go quickly!”

PD Ko surprisingly gave his approval. Have you become really close in the meantime?

Su-ah winked and grabbed his hand. Then she started following the production crew.

Luckily there was room in the car.

“Since it has not yet been fully revealed, we will go to the scene and wait. Then, if it is captured according to the rescue team’s signal, we will immediately take a realistic picture.”

There was a briefing on the way, but it was nothing special. It was just like what I saw on TV.

“Uncle! Question!”

At this, Su-ah raised her hand.

“Yes, little lady. What are you curious about?”

“There was a rumor on the internet that they caught it, let it go, caught it again, let it go, and only then did they finish filming when the picture came out. Is that true?”

“Huh?… … Have you heard that rumor too?”

“I didn’t hear it, I just saw it in the comments. I didn’t think it was true though.”

Su-ah’s words drew sighs from those around her.

It was definitely a rumor I had heard. If that was true, then the production team would know better.

But I think it really was just a baseless rumor.

Because when I look at them in the cafe or now, they don’t seem like people who would do that.

Of course, people can’t believe everything they see… … .

‘A person like that wouldn’t be able to end up in that kind of situation.’

I had the power to see auras, so the rumors were more likely to be false.

So, you made me a midnight snack too.

“There are rumors like that. But they’re not. They’re rumors that arose because we installed multiple cameras and edited each cut.”

“Rather, we’re the ones who feel frustrated. If we did it that way, editing the video would be easier. There would be a lot of cuts.”

“That’s right. It’s so hard to put together the cuts that are there and the ones that aren’t there.”

“They say we can’t reduce the time above, so we have to squeeze out the time we don’t have and increase it.”

“There are many people who misunderstand us. We say that we receive money and rescue people.”

Could Su-ah’s question have been the starting point?

All the accumulated resentment exploded out.

Soo-ah, who had asked innocently, was intimidated by the momentum.

The one who calmed it down was, of course, PD Ko. He was the one who felt the most wronged and hurt the most here.

“Let’s go. You know we’re not going to do this anyway, right? Let’s focus on the structure for now. Su-ah, you take a look. How we do it.”

“yes…….”

“Haha. It’s not like it was Su-ah’s fault, so don’t be so upset.”

Instead, he comforted the intimidated Su-ah.

A person, indeed, could not help but be a good person.

Still, it can be a bit awkward at times.

“We have arrived.”

At that moment, a rescue worker who happened to be driving announced his arrival.

The production team also apologized to Su-ah for no reason and took her down one by one.

“It’s okay. We all know that your question was not malicious.”

“Eek. Really?”

“okay.”

And we got off too.

Then a familiar sight came into view. It was the rice fields where I had worked hard in the morning and afternoon.

“Let’s go that way. The car will make a loud noise and you might get startled, so you have to walk from here.”

I followed PD Ko Dong-seok with the lights turned down to a minimum. This made me feel like I was a member of a real rescue team.

Even Su-ah, who had been gloomy, had a lively expression as if she had never felt that way before.

“What are you taking pictures of? It’s so dark you probably can’t see it.”

“Night shooting is possible.”

“……okay.”

Even Lee Sun-ah, who starts speaking strangely when the camera is turned on…

Still, I followed along well without any interference.

At that time, everyone was quietly following along!

“fizzle!”

Suddenly, PD Ko bent down and signaled for them to be quiet.

Then the rescue team moved forward.

“I’m right in front of the waterway right now, but there’s so much security that I can’t get out completely.”

“Even if you put food in front of me?”

“yes.”

Some of the rescue workers and production crew who had arrived in advance explained the situation and exchanged information.

It’s hard to see, but it looks like there’s something trying to be rescued in the irrigation canal over there.

But their expressions were not bright, as if they were having a hard time.

“There was something stuck in my neck. Did you check to see what it was?”

“I took a quick look and it looks like a plastic container. Maybe that’s why it’s more cautious. It doesn’t seem like it can eat food… … If we don’t rescue it today, it seems like it’s going to be in critical condition.”

“Huh─ Is there no way to force it out?”

“The inside of the waterway is a cement structure… … It would be good to know the internal structure, but if you put a camera in it, it will run away further inside, so that won’t work either.”

Listening to the story, it seemed like the situation was really difficult.

By the way, I know that.

“Sua. Can you listen to this for a moment?”

“Huh? Sir? We shouldn’t be interfering… … .”

He left Soo-ah behind, who was whispering and trying to dissuade him, and approached the production staff and the people involved. Then he explained it to them.

“The internal structure of the waterway is simple. I will tell you.”

“yes?”

“So, usually they make it in the shape of an I, but if an animal wants to hide… … .”

Because I happened to be majoring in this field.

As I explained it while drawing a picture, their hesitant expressions quickly changed into faces of agreement.

In particular, PD Ko was lost in thought for a moment and then asked me.

“I heard that there might be another place connected to it? The village chief said he didn’t know.”

“Yes, there is. There should be a sewer that leads to a channel lower than the one shown above. If you go there, a person could enter. And if it’s this structure… … you could probably reach out and grab it.”

“Awesome! Phew!”

Did you think you had found hope? You were about to scream at those around you, but you quickly held back.

Because the situation isn’t over yet.

Ko Dong-seok and a few others decided to break away and go to the place I told them to.

The rest of us decided to wait here and catch them if they jumped out in surprise.

Of course, I moved together with PD Ko Dong-seok.

“Are you here? It’s pretty deep… … We have to be careful. It’s so dark that we can’t see much.”

I found a hole leading to a deep sewer below.

After everyone carefully descends, the rescue team enters the entrance to the waterway first.

“Oh! It looks like that.”

The cameraman, production crew, and rescue workers moved at the rescue worker’s words.

As we entered the waterway, there was a passageway leading upwards that could accommodate one person.

There is a passageway connecting to the upper channel, and the sound was heard from there.

Squeak… … Squeak… … .

A panting sound, as if in pain.

We started the rescue right away, but… … .

“Um… … I think it would be okay if you came a little further this way… … .”

The rescue workers and production crew groaned in sorrow.

It was right in front of us, but we couldn’t do anything to rescue it… I felt sorry for him as I watched.

“Should I just push it?”

“The current condition is not very good, so if you stimulate it… … .”

Rescue workers said that conditions here were difficult as well.

… … I guess it won’t work.

“Excuse me, can I take a look for a moment?”

I had no intention of getting involved in the rescue itself. But when I heard the sound of gasping for breath, I couldn’t do that.

“Huh? If you provoke it wrong… … .”

“Let me just give it a try.”

I said that, but I had other thoughts.

The rescue worker hesitated for a moment, then immediately stepped aside.

I guess it was thanks to you for helping me find my way here. There was nothing I could do right away.

I put myself into a passage that I could enter alone and quietly raised my aura.

And I checked what condition it was in.

‘You’re shaking.’

The talents needed now came to mind.

He combined his talents for communication, charm, coordination, and friendliness to create an aura.

Ding-ding-ding

The pulsation created by the aura, like the sound of a heartbeat felt in a warm embrace, touched me carefully.

Then I felt the trembling and groans lessen.

“Come here. It’s okay.”

He whispered quietly so that no one else could hear. Then, slowly, something appeared in the narrow waterway… … rags?

What on earth is that?

[bundle]

*situation

─Fear, terror

A lump? Is there such an animal?

Oh! Is that a name? But wild animals have names?

It was full of strange things, but I didn’t have time to get distracted by them.

Because I saw worse conditions beneath the fear and terror.

In addition to a weakened immune system, there are also skin diseases and weight gain due to poor eating habits.

It was literally the worst.

‘Aura, please… … .’

Seeing the guy’s condition made me even more desperate. Just a little more, just to a place where I could reach out and touch him.

Sarah~

As if it knew my feelings, Aura became even stronger.

Is it worth getting an aura shower during the day?

Squeak.

“… … Got it. It’s okay.”

I grabbed the guy as soon as he was within arm’s reach.

It didn’t matter what the guy was.

“Huh!?”

When I came down holding onto something like a rag, the production crew and rescue team were in chaos.

“It’s not looking good. Here.”

“ah!”

“Got it! Got it!”

The trembling boy was immediately handed over to the rescue team.

It was stable, but I had to quickly get treatment and remove the plastic bottle or something that was on his head.

Only then did the people who had been cheering begin to grasp the situation and move busily.

and…….

Srrrrung~

Auras flowed out from all directions, filling the sewer.
