The World’s Strongest Daughter

A small bench in the center of Toyland.

I bit the churros in my hand and asked.

Pleasant sweetness and subtle cinnamon scent that spreads in your mouth.

I don’t know if it’s been a while since I’ve eaten churros.

Churros eaten at an amusement park have a special taste for some reason.

Does the distinctive noisy atmosphere add to the taste?

I took another bite of churros and looked at the woman sitting next to me.

“… .”

Min So-yeon wipes her mouth with a faint smile.

Seeing that he is eating so well, he seems to have been relieved.

I sipped the drink we bought together and asked her.

“Is it worth eating?”

Then, Min So-yeon slowly turned her head and met her eyes.

Pure eyes without a single poison.

“… so so.”

This means that it is delicious.

After giving her a satisfied smile, I finished the churros in my hand and thought about my next schedule.

The most famous thing in Toyland is the roller coaster, which is one of the tallest in the world.

However, as it is famous, it has a much larger crowd than other rides.

As the wait is long, you have to stand in line for a long time, and then you will naturally get tired quickly.

I don’t know if Soyeon wants to ride it, but if possible, it would be better to avoid places with long lines.

A place where you can enjoy in moderation and rotate quickly… . Shall we start with something like a decent bumper car?

It’s not even that far away, so Soyeon doesn’t have to walk for a long time.

After riding the bumper car, it would be good to ride a moderately speedy ride.

The second most popular plum ride after the roller coaster?

Well… . At best, Soyeon came out beautifully decorated, but riding a water splashing device is a bit different.

I’ll try to find some fun rides that don’t splash on water.

Having hardened my heart, I immediately asked Min So-yeon if she would like to ride the bumper car, and after thinking about something for a while, she said that it was good and meekly accepted my proposal.

while moving from place to place.

“yes? He’s in our class.”

We found some pretty amazing scenes.

A male student in the same class walking down the street exuding freshness while holding hands with a certain female student.

The two of them seemed a little nervous because they had just started dating, but somehow it felt like they were seeing my wife and I when they were young, so a happy smile came out of nowhere.

After walking a little further, the bumper car booth arrived.

We immediately stood in line, waiting for our turn, and just in time, driving over the fence was starting.

“depart! Drivers, drive safely!”

At the same time as the departure signal of the staff, the sound of joyful music was heard, and at the same time the bumper cars started moving.

thud! thud!

I loved seeing people bumping around and laughing happily, but I especially noticed a young girl driving the car.

The child was turning the steering wheel back and forth with a big smile, and even though the bumper car was not moving properly, he had a really happy face.

Soyeon had a time like that too, does she really remember it?

“Soyeon-ah. Look over there, there’s a very young kid driving. Isn’t it so cute?”

“… cute.”

Min So-yeon also had a faint smile on her lips, whether the child looked cute.

At that time, while watching the people in the bumper cars and chatting with each other,

Min So-yeon glanced at me and spoke to me.

“… Do you like babies?”

“I don’t like it.”

“… I like it too.”

… Did you?

I think it’s the first time I’ve heard that Soyeon likes children.

If there was Soyul, I would have really liked it… .

I felt a little sad.

*

Leaving behind my friends who went on the rides, I sat alone on a bench and looked at my phone.

[ Our Hyesun and unnie are always cheering for us. Fighting! ]

Last message from Mijoo unnie.

For some reason, I kept getting caught up in my mind.

I couldn’t send more messages because I was on the plane. This is the last message I sent.

As if he was about to go somewhere, he had a strange feeling of sadness.

… When I get off the plane, I’ll call you… .

With a brief sigh, I quietly put my phone in, leaning back on the bench and looking around slowly.

Thousands of people walking around the amusement park.

Because it was near the central plaza, a lot of different people caught my eye.

I saw families coming to play with their children,

Whether other people saw it or not, I saw men and women who fell in love.

There were also students who chatted happily with their friends.

Obviously, they came to the same space and with the same purpose, but unlike me, they seemed really happy.

“… .”

I felt a little envious.

When you look around you with envy, as if jealous of happiness, then.

His gaze stopped at the two men and women approaching this way.

Somehow, they approach each other with a satisfied face and an honest conversation.

It was Yoo Ji-hwan and Min So-yeon.

The moment I ran out reflexively to say hello to Jihwan,

… ah… .

Suddenly I realized that I was alone.

What would Jihwan think if he was with friends?

Wouldn’t it look like a troublesome woman trying to talk even a little bit, as if I was waiting on purpose… ?

Little by little, I’m trying to get closer again, but what if I don’t even accept my greetings… ?

Of course I know he’s not that kind of man.

Jihwan, who is kind and caring, will always welcome my greetings with kindness.

But my mind is the problem.

Negative thoughts that once came to my mind, they sprung up endlessly, biting my tail, and tore my mind to shreds as if throwing myself in the mud wasn’t enough.

If I run into Jihwan like this, my suppressed heart may burst.

I hurriedly left the room, covering my head with my hands so Jihwan could not find me.

I hid myself in a corner far away, and with my head slightly pointed, I secretly looked at where Jihwan was.

By the way… .

Coincidentally, he took his seat where I was sitting.

If I hadn’t avoided it, I would have met him… .

I praised myself for leaving the seat, holding my breath and spying on Jihwan.

Min So-yeon suddenly blushes at what she’s talking about.

And Ji-hwan looked at Min So-yeon like that, and had a somewhat troubled expression on her face.

“… .”

Fortunately, Ji-hwan still doesn’t seem to like Min So-yeon.

Ji-hwan, who looked around as if avoiding his gaze, spoke briefly to Min So-yeon and got up.

avoided the seat.

Wherever he went, he slipped into a nearby bathroom.

While Jihwan was away, Min Soyeon suddenly looked around and rummaged through her bag.

Taking out her lipstick and hand mirror, she hurriedly applied the lipstick to her lips, then looked at the hand mirror and repeated strange actions.

Tilt your head from side to side, stick your lips out, open them slightly… .

It looked like they were kissing.

… what are you doing… ?

At that moment, the voices of a couple passing by from behind were heard.

“brother. Let’s go see the fountain show.”

“now? Can’t we see you in the evening?”

“I had to see what you did at 3 o’clock!”

“… Why?”

The man asked the woman as if he did not understand, and the woman patted the man’s shoulder and said.

“If you kiss in front of the fountain show at 3 o’clock, they say you can get married!”

“… chaff, get married… . Joe, good… .”

kiss… . marriage… .

The words of the couple, who disappeared while joking around, kept ringing in my ears.

And Min So-yeon’s unknown movements caught my eye.

… no way… .

*

As I got out of the bathroom and went back to Soyeon, I felt a faint flow of magic from somewhere.

It’s a very different, gritty feeling.

“… .”

I looked around slowly, but I didn’t see anything special.

I definitely felt… .

If the magic power is spread widely, the position can be roughly estimated.

However, there was not enough mana to cover all of this large area, and there is no need to go out if nothing is happening right now.

I glanced around once again, and immediately approached Soyeon, saying it was useless to worry.

By the way… .

… what.

Min So-yeon, unaware that I was there, was licking her lips and repeating unknown movements.

“Uhhhhh!”

I pretended to be popular and approached her, and then she turned her head in amazement.

“… Wow, are you here?”

It was like a child caught doing something bad.

What is it… .

I pretended not to know anything, sat down next to her and talked to her.

“What were you doing?”

“… I didn’t do anything.”

Seeing that he was stalking me without even knowing I had seen it, I thought it would be better not to ask deeply.

Naturally, I took out my phone and checked the time, and informed Min So-yeon that it would be 3 o’clock soon.

“… So, shall we go to the square now? I think the fountain show will start soon.”

Square Fountain Show.

There are only two performances, 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.

It was a place that Min So-yeon insisted she wanted to visit, but she said that she wanted to take a picture there.

Is your taste similar to your wife?

Coincidentally, my wife and I took a picture there a long time ago.

It was a picture taken with a wonderfully spouting fountain in the background, but maybe it still remains in the album?

“… let’s hurry.”

With Min So-yeon’s strangely urging words, we moved towards the fountain in the square.
