I Returned, But My Power is the Same

On the way back down to the guardhouse.

The face of so-called Young So-jin just won't leave my mind.

I'm going to ask you one more time.

I'm just worried

If it hurts anywhere, even if it's medicine, Sadad... Uh.

No.

No, no.

That's right.

what do i say

He shook her head and accelerated her steps.

Seong Da-kyung ran around and chattered.

“Dojin-san, let’s take our bus!”

“A bus? Are you far away?”

“Um, it’s not far, but I think the bus would be more fun.”

I don't know what fun you're talking about, but anyway.

"okay."

We followed Seong Da-gyeong to the stop in front of the guardhouse.

Bus numbers were lined up in the queue.

“You can get a rough idea of ​​where you are going by looking at how many times you ride.”

“You don’t know right away?”

“Where are you on the outskirts?”

"Yes."

“Are you sure you don’t want to jump?”

“Actually, I even thought about it.”

“...”

“Baby, I was just thinking.”

Seong Da-kyung smiled and pointed to a bus approaching from a distance.

“You can ride that.”

“If it’s on the outskirts of the 85 ride… Hmm, I really don’t know. But you have to be careful, Da-kyung.”

"why?"

“Am I really looking forward to it? If it doesn't work, I won't let you go."

“What are you going to do if you don’t leave it alone?”

“I have to say something.”

“Are you going to curse? hey.”

“.

“Why, were you just cute?”

Seong Da-kyung looks at me, supporting my face with both hands.

“Please don’t do it in front of me.”

“Chi. That is unfair."

Meanwhile, the bus was preparing to stop.

Seong Da-kyung is about to take out her transportation card.

“I will pay. Then the next time we ride together, I decided to bet.”

“What, what, did you remember?”

“Of course we should remember that.”

“Then do you remember that?”

“What is it?”

First, I got on the bus.

It was a weekend, so there were a few passengers, but fortunately there was one two-seater right behind the back door.

Seong Da-kyung went inside.

“How do you get a seat right here?”

"Yes?"

“At that time, I was sitting here and suddenly it came to a sudden stop. A car was coming out of the side.”

no way···

“So Do-jin tried to hold me, but my thighs were sore.”

“Ah, no, it’s not bittersweet…!”

“Then, whose handprints are the rest of them?”

“Oh, that’s…!”

“Mr. Dojin, his face has turned red now.

Seong Da-kyung laughs.

under.

Still, there's something wrong with not bringing up what happened in the trap dungeon.

It's really terrifying to think about it again...

“Yeah, in the trap dungeon, he also grabbed his chest.”

“...”

“Where do you plan to touch next?”

“I have sinned to death…”

“Ah, why is that, it’s a joke, it’s a joke. And it was all because of me.”

“Hmmmm… you know that…”

"sure. But, Mr. Dojin, there is.”

Seong Da-kyung asked in a slightly cautious tone.

“Then why did you care about me on the bus or in the trap dungeon?”

“Why?”

"Yes?"

“I am worried. I'm afraid I'll get hurt."

“...”

“Hmm, I think it’s kind of funny. Just looking at my rank, I am not in a position to worry about Mr. Da-kyung.”

"no! What is the importance of rank? I and Dojin-san are stronger than me.”

"a."

“Do-jin also received a special promotion.”

“Still, that’s a bit.”It really is.

Seong Da-kyung is someone who took pictures of an executive before returning anyway.

I can't say I'm stronger.

“Anyway… you said you were afraid I would get hurt?”

"Yes."

“It’s very impressive.”

As they chatted, the scenery outside passed through the window.

And all sorts of signs that come to mind.

It shows right where the bus is going.

I knew then.

“Are you going to the Five Color Garden?”

"uh? How did you know? We still have a long way to go to get there.”

gotta know

It's because I've been there with my family more than a dozen times before my return.

But if you say you know something about this... you're going to break the mood, right?

“When I think about the places where I can go on the 85 in Wisu area, it just comes to the Five Colors Garden, right?”

"I see. You've never been... have you?"

I knew it.

It's an expression that says it shouldn't be there...

I nodded right away.

As of the present time, the place opened only a couple of months ago, so it's no wonder I haven't been there.

“No, I haven’t been.”

“Huh, that’s good.”

“Are you okay there?”

"Yes! You are very, very pretty.”

“Is Dakyung going for the first time today too?”

"Yes! It's my first time today too. So I’m really looking forward to it.”

I feel it from the voice.

how much did you expect

If you don't want to hit the second, you have to act well.

The bus ran for a while and went outside.

The windows that used to only illuminate the shops and buildings begin to illuminate the green meadows and colorful flowers in the distance.

It was a colorful garden.

Anytime you look at it, it's really huge.

“Wow.”

Seong Da-kyung looks out the window with admiration.

It's about to break through the window.

“How could that be? uh! Everything is here!”

I finally arrived at the Five Color Garden with Seong Da-kyung, who was very excited.

It got its name because all kinds of flowers are in bloom.

Five-color garden.

It's a day and it's a weekend, so it's packed with people.

Fortunately, there were several entrances, so there was no waiting.

“Are you two?”

"Yes."

“You can enter as is.”

"thank you."

Admission is free.

It's the same as the amusement park we went to when we were out in the squad.

Hunter's perk.

“Wow.”

As soon as they enter, Seong Da-kyung pours out admiration again.

Her eyes are very bright.

Sure enough, there was a landscape that could not have been seen otherwise.

numerous flower beds.

Various sculptures made of colorful flowers.

crooked tree.

There is also a small artificial waterfall over there.

It's beautiful in my eyes, of course, but it's not to the point of wowing like Seong Da-kyung.

Because I've been there too many times before returning.

But I like it so much, I can't afford a tea like that.

“Da-kyung, you said you met your expectations, are you really satisfied?”

“Okay, right? Let's go from here!"

"Yes."

In Seong Da-kyung's hand was a map showing each area of ​​the Five Color Garden.

Where did you get it?

After that, I watched for a while.

without knowing that time is passing.

She knew it was time for lunch by the time she was making a lot of noise in the boat.

“Dojin-san, shall we go to lunch now?”

"Yes."

“I came out for lunch, so let’s go eat something special.”

“What do you have?”

Dagyeong Seong refers to a certain building.

“It’s a pasta restaurant, and the word is already spreading. A lot of celebrities came and went.”

“Oh, right? I wonder what it will taste like.”

What is it.

already know

Because I ate every time I came because of my sister.

Anyway, it was delicious.

And while it tastes delicious, the scenery you see is killing it.

It is located on a hillside, and the walls are all made of glass.

On the way to the pasta house.

A man approached.

“Excuse me, can I ask you to take a picture?”

“Oh, yes”.

A man hands me a cell phone and stands in front of a flower bed with a woman.

seem to be a couple.

"One, two, three."

Finally, a kiss

The affectionate feeling is conveyed in the photos as it is.

Seong Da-kyung, who was standing still, said.

“Do you want us to take pictures too?”

“What picture?”

“It’s just a picture of us together. I came here to play, but I thought I should keep a few as souvenirs.”

"okay."

"thank you."

Soon, a man greets him and approaches him again.

“Can you take a picture for us too?”

"Sure."

She stood in front of the flower bed next to Seong Da-kyung.

The pose was just standing there.

We're not like that couple.

“Mr. Dojin.”

"Yes."

“Isn’t it so bad that you’re doing this?”

I heard it, but it is.

“Would you like to stay a little longer?”

Da-kyung Seong takes one more step closer to me.

His arms were getting closer and closer.

do you want to come out well

The man returned my cell phone and said.

“The two of you were not in a relationship. I thought we were dating.”

“Ah, haha. no."

“Are you just here to play?”

"Yes."

“That’s right. Let’s go first.”

this misunderstanding.

I even got it with Lieutenant Young So-jin when I was out of the squad.

It was a very embarrassing situation, but Lieutenant Young So-jin actually laughed it off, maybe?

Seong Da-kyung showed a similar reaction whether it was a coincidence or what.

“Dojin and I look like a couple.”

***

“Aren’t we just looking at pasta here? Reviews said the scenery was nice, but I didn't expect it to be this good.”

hill road.

glazed wall.

A panoramic view of the five-color garden exposed outside.

As soon as she arrives at the pasta house, Seong Da-kyung cannot take her eyes off the scene.

“So pretty.”

“So. The cafe was just like this last time.”

“Is that cafe during dungeon vacation?”

"Yes."

"that's right. It was great there too.”

“The food we ordered has arrived.”

Two pastas, a baguette, and other side dishes are set on the table.

No matter what I do, my mouth waters again when I see it.

"uh?"

I had been eating for a while.

In the distance, a large tree comes into view.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah. no."

no no no

What I had completely forgotten, I just remembered.

that tree.

The gate had burst around that tree.

Every newspaper was featured in the headlines and there was a lot of uproar.

And that time...

‘I think it was around this time.’

I can't remember the exact date.

But only this is certain.

'It was Sunday. It was around five o'clock.'

Today is Sunday.

In other words, the gate might burst around that tree around five o'clock later.'Crazy, this.'

It is not possible to contact adjacent units in advance.

Regardless of whether it explodes today or not, who would believe it when you say, ‘There will be a gate here!’ in the first place.

“Dakyung, are we going to stay here?”

"Yes? Yes Yes. until you return. why? Shall we go somewhere else?”

"no. I want to stay.”

At least I and Seong Da-kyung are there.

uh... wait a minute.

it's not okay

It's worth a try

Can't we just hold out, evacuate the citizens and mobilize the adjacent units?

It could end with just the two of us.

‘There were no monsters that were that strong. As long as you respond calmly, there will be no problem.’

And it may not be today that the gate is created.

There's plenty of room for them to spawn next week or next week.

But when it comes down to it, I don't think I'll be comfortable with it.

‘I’d rather just be like that today.’

There is no danger for me or Seong Da-kyung anyway.

we are hunters

So I'd rather just be like that today.

It's not about saving citizens and being treated like a hero, or anything like that.

‘Isn’t this the perfect picture to get results?’

I am a person too.

Of course, you want to take advantage.

***

“It was decorated in a European style.”

After lunch.

As Da-kyung Seong said, I was walking in a place with a European atmosphere.

On one side, the windmill spins.

On the other side, red and yellow tulips are in full bloom.

Employees who wore related cosplays also wandered here and there.

Just walking around makes you feel healed.

“Dojin-san, don’t you feel healed just walking around here?”

“Wow, what?”

"Yes?"

“I was thinking about it now.”

"really? I think it was like this once. Do-jin and I seem to have something in common.”

"Iknow, right. that's interesting."

We walked around the neighborhood, sharing stories with Doran Doran.

I had a glass of iced Americano in my mouth that I bought from a street vendor earlier.

Flowers were still in full bloom everywhere.

There really is no flower to take my eyes off of.

About the time I had completed one lap, Seong Da-kyung said.

“Mr. Dojin.”

"Yes."

“Can you give me an answer from a man’s point of view?”

“From a man’s point of view? What are you talking about?”

“There’s a guy I really like to be my friend with, but he doesn’t seem to know that.”

“Do you like to sleep?”

Seong Da-kyung answered right away.

"Yes. You don’t know at all.”

"Hmm."

“So what my friend is thinking about right now, is whether it is right to confess and reveal her heart, or whether it is right to just stay as it is.”

“Isn’t it better to confess? If I just stayed there, it would have been nothing but grunting on my own.”

“It is, but… my friend said there was something to worry about.”

“What?”

“If things don’t go well, I’m afraid that the guy will be awkward with him…”

“However, did you find out that he wasn’t in a relationship?”

“Even if it’s not a relationship, the love will keep going…”

“It’s like that too.”

"Yes···"

“By the way, the man was completely blessed. I think his friend really likes it a lot.”

Seong Da-kyung nodded his head and said.

“Yeah, I really, really like you a lot…”

“But men can do that.”

“Is that so?”

“If you don’t directly say that you like it, you don’t know it. I am just like that.”

“Dojin too?”

"Yes."

When my older sister is terrified, you said that it was a miracle that you dated a few times with that look, maybe.

But there is this.

“Instead, if I have someone I like, I confess right away. As Da-kyung-san just said, it can be awkward for nothing, but it’s also a little difficult to get rid of it by yourself.”

“That’s right…”

"Yes."

“Then, on the other hand, the fact that Do-jin doesn’t confess… is it because she doesn’t like it, right?”

“Is that so?”

“If that guy is similar to Do-jin… does that guy also don’t like my friend?”

“If you say that you have a similar tendency to me, you have to look at it that way.”

“Now I know. How should I advise you?”

“How can I advise you?”

Seong Da-kyung looked up at me quietly and said.

“I’ll tell him to make him like you.”
