79. Korea (3)

…That’s why.

The person I brought was not Iinazuke, but ‘someone’ who resembled her.

This f*cking face recognition disorder recognizes it as Iinazuke again, I don’t know.

That, and nationality, grabbed the wrist of another person and brought it violently with such anger.

“……”

Ah…

“……”

What is this…

…What should I do?

***

…In the end, after going through countless troubles in that short period of time, I bowed my head and said to her.

“…Sorry. I mistook you for a person.”

At times like this, there was no other way than a sincere apology.

How scary and strange I must have looked in such a situation.

Honestly, even when I was called to the police station, I had nothing to say.

However, contrary to the expectation that she would get angry, she said with a slight smile.

“Ah~ Well, it’s okay! hahahaha. By the way, seeing that everyone is gathered here, they must have come from school on a field trip.”

I was taken aback by her sudden question and nodded at her.

“Yes? Ah, yes… Well, yes.”

“Um~, so you’re a high school student? What grade are you in?”

The following question from her.

“It’s the first year.”

When I answered that question because I was a first-year student, she said with a shy smile.

“Ah~, I’m a sophomore. hahahaha… Then I guess I’m older… Um… Then, if you’re not going to excuse me, would it be okay if I give you your phone number? I think it would be nice if you could contact me later. .”

“Yes?”

While I was taken aback by her unexpected remark, she continued.

“Ah! You speak Korean so well that I mistakenly thought you were Korean. hahahaha… Well, since you’re a foreigner, um… It’s not KakaoTalk, so e-mail would be better. Can you tell me your e-mail address?”

“Mine..?”

“Yes!”

She even holds out her own cell phone.

“??????”

So, at her request, while I was in the midst of embarrassment, I was accidentally giving her an email, and Kurutta started sobbing next to me.

“Ksooooo bad!!!!! Why is this bastard with such a beautiful girl…! Kek!”

And Kurutta who collapses while grabbing her by the back of the neck.

“……”

“I still have a lot of questions, but um… It seems like it’s time to gather now, so I’ll just step aside. I’ll be in touch later, so don’t forget!”

And in the meantime, the mysterious woman resembling Inazuke disappeared into the distance.

“…”

And the reason Inazuke arrived, less than 30 seconds had passed since then.

According to what I heard later, he talked to me at that time and went to the bathroom…

…It seems that he was too focused on Satou’s party and didn’t listen.

“What..?”

And after that, Iinazuke seemed quite shocked when he heard Kurutta’s braids, which resurfaced. Her eyes are also shaking a little bit.

…I’ve known you for 10 years, but that’s it. It must have been a big shock.

…Let’s apologize properly later.

***

That evening.

After visiting Bulguksa Temple, we stopped by several places to take a break before our next schedule.

And then I went to visit Inazuke.

It was to apologize to her for what happened earlier.

After wandering around her quarters for a long time, finally finding her, I approached her and said,

“I have something to tell you, can you follow me for a minute..?”

But she looked at me for a moment and then moved her steps again.

“I have nothing to say.”

“……”

Everyone can see her angry face. Seeing her like that, I walked after her and said.

“Ah, that… I’m sorry.”

“…I don’t care. What i say I am nothing.”

“…”

The sharp reaction of her. Thinking that it couldn’t continue like this, I arrived at the dorm just in time and grabbed her wrist as she tried to go inside.

“Why?”

She looks at me with her cold gaze.

“…”

Her I hesitated for a moment, finally decided to tell her to her.

“…Can I tell you something?”

“No need-“

“Actually, I have a bit of a facial recognition problem…”

…My little secret.

***

After a while.

After walking for a while, we came out to a place where the children could not be seen, and we faced each other.

And she opened her mouth.

“Facial recognition disorder. What are you talking about?”

She still has an infinitely dark expression. At her words, I slightly averted her gaze and said.

“…Actually, it’s something a little better than that, rather than a facial recognition disorder… But anyway, you might not have known it, but I have a bit of difficulty distinguishing people. They look alike in many cases… Maybe if you think about it, those memories will come to you little by little. That I had never had such unreasonable symptoms. I’ve been watching you for a long time, so can’t you guess something?”

Then she seemed to think for a moment, then she nodded her head in silence.

“Yes, now you know that I am not good at recognizing people, right? Therefore-“

However, after being silent for a long time, she cut me off and said.

“…But still.”

“…?”

“But… I, don’t you have to recognize me..?”

“…”

Her voice trembled. And the way she cried.

…To her words like that, I couldn’t answer anything.

“I spent several years with Haiseki-kun…”

She immediately started to weep.

“…”

Her tears she tries to wipe with her sleeve but won’t stop.

…It was the first time I’d seen her like that since childhood.

Ha…

I didn’t know that she would value her relationship with me so much, and that she would consider me so special.

“……”

My heart hurts.

***

And after a while, when she stopped her tears, I handed her her sincere apology once again.

And she accepted my apology.

…But.

It was not difficult to guess that the scars and betrayal left in her heart would still remain.

Ha…

…That bothered me.

***

So that evening, after resting at the lodging and having dinner, we headed to ‘Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond’ in Gyeongju.

What do you mean by Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond?

It is a place where the lake and the palace harmonize with the light to create a very beautiful night view. Based on the old name, it could also be called Anapji Pond.

Since the night view is so beautiful that many tourists stop by every year, it seems that the teachers also chose the time when it was dark.

As we moved while watching the darkening night sky, we were able to see the famous night view when the sky became completely dark.

The appearance of Imhaejeon, shining brightly and brilliantly behind the darkened lake, was truly amazing.

On top of that, it also received anime-specific color correction, so what should I say about the scenery?

It was indeed a superb view.

As if I wasn’t the only one who was amazed at this, many children spit out exclamations while watching him.

But among them, there were people I particularly liked. It was Iggyris Rico.

She liked her so much that she muttered to herself with her eyes shining.

“Ah..! So pretty..!”

While doing so, she brought her hands together and put them on her chest. In response to her reaction, Osana Najimi, who was standing next to her with her arms crossed, said.

“Surely…It’s rather pretty. Still, Japan is better, right?”

Then, as if hoping for a response from her Iggyris Riko to her own words, Osana Najimi looked at her. But Igiris Rico, who was engrossed in the night view, said without paying attention to him at all.

“No..! I’ve never seen anything like this even in Japan..! So pretty! Najimi-chan! Maybe I actually liked the Orient, not Japan..!”

“Eh, eh..?”

And Osana Najimi seemed quite shocked by her words.

Huh…

Gukppongkae actually likes the Orient…

Although it could have been just a fleeting impression, it was quite a strange story for me as well.

***

That’s how the second day in Korea passed and the third day came.

After packing our things in the morning, we got on the bus to go to Seoul.

There were many tourist spots in Gyeongju that I hadn’t visited yet, but it was inevitable for the schedule of 3 nights and 4 days.

As you can see from the schedule of 3 nights and 4 days, we were probably going to go to Seoul like this, stay one more day, and then go back to Japan.

***

How long has it been like that?

After arriving in Seoul after a long bus ride, we first stopped at the accommodation, dropped off our luggage, and headed to Gyeongbokgung Palace.

And when we arrived at Gyeongbokgung Palace, as previously announced, we had group activities here as well.

As in Bulguksa Temple, we formed a group and started to enjoy walking around various places autonomously.

But… Even in the midst of that, I couldn’t help the fact that Iinazuke and I were a little awkward with each other.

How long has it been since you started walking around like that? This time, as I was watching while listening to the explanation of a male student with glasses who knew everything, I saw Ichika Sato in the distance.

She walks around wearing her hanbok, not knowing when she borrowed it.

It seems that there is a place around here that rents hanbok.

And after a while, I was able to find another person wearing a hanbok, as if to prove my prediction was correct.

The true identity is Riko Igiris, and she, whom I found while wandering around, also borrowed her hanbok and wore it.

“hehehehe so pretty…”

“…”

It was a picture of her smiling happily in the world.
