Episode 234

Thanks to Sua’s challenge, the number of draws has increased.

They were all failures, broken somewhere.

“… …I’ll take it to school.”

“Okay.”

Su-ah decided to take the lottery tickets she had made to school tomorrow morning.

I decided to package the successful ones I made one by one and collect the broken ones together and give them away.

“Oh, right! Sir. Didn’t Seon-ah ask if we wanted to go together to the burning mountain where we went to pick up chestnuts before?”

“The mountain behind the village chief’s house? Why there? And Seon-ah, you don’t feel well right now, do you?

“Huh? I sent you a message when I came earlier?”

What? I checked the chat room after hearing Su-ah’s words.

It’s not that there weren’t any such conversations.

I don’t know when it happened.

I guess it was around the time I was in the middle of picking.

It seems like everything happened without incident, so that’s a relief.

But why do you suddenly want to go to the mountain?

“My sister has a YouTube channel, but she’s scared to go there alone.”

“… … Your YouTube angle?”

“Yes. When there was a fire last time, Seon-ah heard our story and went up to pick up chestnuts. But there, something was going whoosh!”

I don’t know what Su-ah was trying to express, but she made a strange movement and made a wind sound with her mouth.

And the explanation continues.

“It came and went like the wind, and then the lights went out.”

“What are you talking about? Seon-ah was in the fire?”

Although he felt a sting from Su-ah’s words, he tried not to show it and asked. Fortunately, Su-ah paid no attention and continued talking.

“It wasn’t where the fire started, it was nearby. You know, the place where we picked up the night.”

“Ah. There.”

The place where the oak tree was and the place where the fire was were definitely far apart. They were also a little higher.

But it was there.

‘Then did you see me?’

No. Then you would have come to me?

“What did you see there? And what was that light going out like that?”

“My sister said she didn’t know either. She said something clearly came and went, but she couldn’t see anything.”

“What is that? Then isn’t it just the wind?”

“Uh-huh. It definitely wasn’t the wind. I just felt it, but anyway, it wasn’t?”

“… … Stop playing games, please.”

“Hehehe!”

Listening to Su-ah’s smiling words, it seemed like she saw my afterimage.

That too, vaguely.

If you’ve definitely seen it, you probably won’t bother going back to check.

It would be better not to use that talent recklessly. This time, I was lucky, but it seemed like I needed to be more careful in the future.

“Anyway! So I was originally going to go this morning, but I couldn’t see it properly because I had a cold. But I’m feeling better now, so I’m going to go.”

“What do you mean, you’re going even though you’re sick?”

“Is it your YouTuber’s intuition? Hehe! Ah! But the village chief told me not to go because he said the mountain spirit would get angry if I kept visiting and bothering him.”

“Really? Then wouldn’t it be better not to go?”

“Hey, where is the mountain god?”

I tried to ask the village chief about what he was saying, but Su-ah shook her head and spoke firmly.

Well, I would have reacted like that if it weren’t for the tiger shelter. But there was a blind spot here.

“There’s no mountain spirit, so how can you control the angle of YouTube? Shouldn’t it be at least that much?”

“Huh? Is that so?”

Su-ah began to worry with a serious expression.

─I know there’s no mountain spirit, but should I go? But it seems like it’d be fun to go find the YouTube angle─

The expression on his face as if he was thinking about something was immediately revealed.

“If you want to go see it, go see it.”

“That would be better, right?”

Judging from the fact that Su-ah answered my question right away, it seemed like she was leaning toward going anyway.

It didn’t matter to me since there was nothing to see anyway.

If I ran using my abilities, wouldn’t I know?

“Are you going too, sir?”

“Me too? It’s a bit bothersome.”

“Let’s go together~ Yes? Sister Song Song is going too.”

“Isn’t one of the writers going to town later? He said he was going because of the curtains.”

“I’ll go tomorrow!”

“… … Is that so?”

No, I don’t know what everyone is talking about.

Hansong-i will wake up early again tomorrow morning.

“Okay, let’s go. Let’s go.”

“Yes! Hehe!”

“What’s so great about it? Wouldn’t it be more fun if you guys went together?”

“No, I can’t. I need someone to tease me.”

Oh, that’s me?

But can I be surprised? Whoosh whoosh! This guy appeared on that mountain.

I started finishing up, shaking my head at the sight of Su-ah looking excited for some reason.

If you want to go to the mountain, it’s better to go before it gets dark, so it seemed like it would be better to finish now.

“If there’s anything you want to drink, tell me now. I won’t make it for you anymore. Ask Writer Han and Seon-ah, too.”

“Yes! First of all, I’ll have a dalgona latte!”

“Except for coffee? Then it would be a bit too sweet.”

“Then add some coffee!”

“no.”

“Chee. Dalgona latte with less dalgona.”

Soo-ah did that first, and the other two soon said they wanted drinks too.

I heard somewhere that it was all dalgona latte.

‘Who could it be? It must be Su-ah.’

I quickly made a drink.

But is Suho going to be late today?

“What about Suho?”

“My brother has a local competition tomorrow. Oh, right! I almost forgot about that. He’s going to be participating in the Golden Lion Championship soon. He’s in the final round of the preliminaries right now.”

“Really? Looks like you’ve already passed the preliminaries.”

“Yes! First place.”

Even in the summer, Suho was very busy with games and competitions even after fall came.

But after a brief period of wandering, it seemed like things were going well and steadily.

Since I’m still in the second year of high school, I’m going to wait another year and then try to turn pro…

‘If we keep going like this, we might really be able to go.’

Then it would have been a perfect thing.

But I have to leave town.

“When should I go cheer?”

“Even if my brother goes to the Golden Lion Cup finals, it will be a long time.”

“Really? Okay. Okay.”

“yes!”

I made a drink while I was going to cheer.

Since the dalgona was already made, I quickly made the drink.

“Okay. This is yours.”

“yes!”

I gave only Suah and put the rest in the carrier.

And finally, I cleaned up the cafe and came out.

As I came down the narrow path, Hansong-i and Seon-ah were already out there.

Woof woof!

“Yeah, yeah. Did the swan come too?”

There was also a swan that had now grown quite manly.

But why is its fur this color?

“Where in the field did you roll around again?”

Boom!

It was clear that he had been running around excitedly on the way here.

It’ll be hard to give her a bath.

Lee Sun-ah was about to catch a cold.

“Are you feeling a little better?”

“Yeah. Pear honey tea is really good.”

Oh, that’s right. I thought maybe things got better after going to the recovery center, but that wasn’t the case.

Still, he seemed to have gotten better after drinking the honey tea I gave him.

“But what are you going to film when you go there?”

“Mysterious back mountain.”

“… …Is that also everyday content?”

“It depends on how you edit it.”

Yeah, I guess you can figure that out.

First, I walked up the mountain.

Rangi also followed Sua and came next to her.

It seemed like he knew I wasn’t going home.

If you add Miho and Sujeong in the durebak here, the group was quite diverse and large.

‘I don’t know what combination this is.’

I made and ate some dalgona today, and it felt like I went back to when I was a kid and was the neighborhood bully.

Ah, here in this village, the captain was actually useless because there were no children other than me and Lee Seon-ah.

There were times like today when Lee Sun-ah took the lead, and times when I took the lead.

“Come to think of it, I think there were rumors like that when I was young.”

“Huh? What rumor?”

“They say there is a guardian deity in our village.”

“Wow! Really? What kind of guardian deity is this?”

Han Song-i, who was walking alongside Lee Seon-ah, showed interest in what she said.

Suah’s ears seem to be perking up.

‘But was there such a rumor?’

I think it was there.

I don’t remember very well.

“There was a mountain spirit on that mountain. He said he had to leave something very important here and go somewhere.”

“Aha! So that’s why you placed a guardian deity there to protect it?”

“huh.”

“That’s interesting~ Then what did the mountain spirit leave behind?”

“I don’t know about that.”

“Really? Is it some kind of treasure? Gold? No. It’s a mountain spirit, so I don’t think it’s money… What could it be?”

When Hansong tilted her head, Suah raised her hand.

Listening to you, it seems like you have something to say.

“Sister! Isn’t it something like that? A flying broom or a magic wand?”

“Hey, isn’t that too much like something out of Western mythology? But isn’t it more like something out of Eastern mythology?”

“Then a gold axe or a silver axe?”

“Huh? Is that so? If it’s a mountain god, it’s similar to a mountain spirit.”

Su-ah and Han-song-i got along well.

How can you imagine such things?

However, Lee Sun-ah, who brought up the subject, didn’t seem very interested.

“What are you going to do if you go and there’s nothing?”

“I never thought about it.”

Oh, that’s not it. I just don’t have any thoughts.

Unplanned? Did you say you were going for nothing?

at that time!

“Even if you come near the village, you will not have any soup even after I die!”

As I was passing through the village, I heard a shout from somewhere.

And after a while, I heard the car start up, and then I heard the car pull away in a hurry.

‘It just sounded like an old man’s voice.’

Did you end up kicking out your two sons?

I had a feeling that it would be like that, but I was curious because it wasn’t the voice of the old man I had seen that morning, who had no motivation or strength.

I just relieved some of the stress on the old lady… … but did that affect the old lady?

“Huh? Grandpa, you rich landowner!”

Just then, Su-ah found the old man and ran to him.

But calling the old man a land-rich grandfather? Is it good because it’s intuitive?

“Hehehe! Isn’t that Su-ah? Why aren’t you going home? Why are you here? Oh, are you doing that volunteer work?”

“Hehehe! No! Let’s go find the treasure left by the mountain god!”

“Huh? The mountain god’s treasure?”

When did we become the Sanshin Treasure Hunting Expedition?

With just one word from Su-ah, the whole group became like that to the old man.

The old man was looking at the group and our eyes met.

“Hehehe! Are you going too?”

“… … So that’s what happened.”

“Are you going to that mountain?”

“Yes. I’m going up for a bit and then I’ll be back. Seon-ah said she needed to check something.”

“Hahaha! I see. Um, okay.”

What is it? There was a lingering feeling at the end of the old man’s words.

Are you still emotional after kicking out your two sons? I don’t think so.

“Would you like to go, too, rich old man?”

“Huh? Me too? Hehe, I wonder if I can walk with these legs.”

“Hey, the mountain isn’t that high. Let’s go together, holding a walking stick!”

The old man seemed like he would naturally refuse, but surprisingly he looked troubled.

It felt as if he would have said he would go with me right away if only his legs weren’t sore.

‘… … If I do well, I might be able to reach the point of recovery?’

There was no guarantee that things would get better if I went, but I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go anyway…

“Would you like to go with me? We can go slowly, and if it’s difficult, I can help you.”

“Then it would be a burden to someone so young. I’m fine, you two can go yourselves.”

Unfortunately, just when I was about to reject it!

“Hey~ Let’s go together~ Okay? I’ll hold your hand! Okay? Hehe!”

“Ouch! You punk, you’re falling!”

“Have a nice walk!”

“Heh heh heh!”

Su-ah grabbed his hand and dragged him without thinking.

I tried to stop him, but as Su-ah said, the old man walked without any problems and surprisingly, he seemed to have no trouble walking.

What is it? Now that I look at it, the aura is… … nice.

The emptiness and depression I was in also disappeared.

Moreover, considering that he even yelled at his two sons and drove them out, it seems that it was the influence of his mother that changed the old man.

If it didn’t stop there and even affected the physical part… … .

‘That could happen.’

If your grandfather’s injuries were caused by mental illness.

Of course, it was not possible to say for sure yet.

Because I don’t know what the original condition was.

“Sua. Slow down.”

“yes!”

For now, I decided to just watch and see. If there’s a problem, I can carry the old man down.

Now, that was more than enough and more than enough.

And so, before we knew it, our group had grown again… … .

“Oh my! Grandpa. But what kind of mountain spirit is this?”

“Huh? Mountain spirit?”

“Yes! Sister Seon-ah said that a mountain spirit lived here? Grandfather, don’t you know?”

“Haha! I know. It’s like a folk tale that has been passed down in our village.”

“Please tell me!”

It was a conversation between Su-ah and the old man as they passed the entrance to the mountain.

It felt somehow similar to before, but it was also interesting.

“So, what kind of mountain spirit was there in our village… … .”

Rustle!

At that moment, a very small sound, audible only to my ears, was heard from inside the mountain.
