Chapter 18 – Gratitude Festival (1)

A loud noise echoes throughout the room.
The sun had risen in mid-heaven for a long time, and the city was having the most energetic time.

Meanwhile, I was lying on the bed, checking out my newly acquired abilities.

[Pain-Pleasure Replacement]

As the name suggests, the ability to turn pain into pleasure.

It was a new ability she had acquired while spending the night with Illone this time. I don’t know why she wanted this ability…….

‘It’s not bad.’

The pain wasn’t all that bad. Pain is also a signal that warns us, and because of it, human beings can grow.

Rather, there were plenty of poisonous species that he felt relieved and enjoyed the moment of being freed from pain.

However, after I acquired this ability, the only thing that came to my mind was the galaxy. She who is completely immune from pain.

‘Before the pain is immune… What if I use my ability to replace it with pleasure?’

Pain is a stimulus. Being immune from pain was the same as saying there was no stimulation.

Her life without pain is probably a futile life without feeling anything.

I was delighted to think that I had the ability to present it to her.

“Um…… Did you sleep well?”
“Woke up? Shall we eat soon?”

Just in time, you stretched her body her and raised her body her. She, who had been lying under me all morning, lifted her body her lightly, perhaps dispelling all her accumulated fatigue her with her act her.

“I’ll wash up soon, so wait.”

“Do you want to wash together?”

“…… Are you sure you won’t? I’m really dumb Look, you can see his legs his wobbly.”

Illone said that and pointed at her legs her, which trembled just by standing there. After I had done that, I had no intention of doing it again, so I nodded her head saying it was natural.

“…… Believe?”

“Trust me, believe me. Because it’s okay.”

And I only ejaculated twice in the bathroom we went into together.

* * *

“Ugh…… It feels like it’s burning underneath.”

After a while, after taking a shower, we came down to the restaurant, ordered lunch specials, and chatted.

“Is there anything special going on these days?”

“Something special?”

“Yeah, like an event.”

“It’s an event…… Like Great Thanksgiving?”

“Ooh, what is that?”

“I don’t know about Thanksgiving… ? Are you from this city?”

“Can’t you see the hair? Of course he’s from another city.”

Looking into my black hair and eyes her, you nodded her head, saying yes.

Seeing her reaction to her, I confirmed that strangers are not uncommon in this country, at least in this city.

“Great Thanksgiving… It is a day to give thanks to God for a prosperous year. It is a festival where the three-day festival is held, the Holy See sends saints, and delegations are sent from other countries. In fact, it is a national festival.”

“It will be very annoying.”

“I mean… Don’t accidents happen just because it’s a festival? No it’s not. On festival days, the crime rate increases from at least 300% to 3000%…… Who’s cleaning up all that shit?”

Ilone began to criticize the festival, advocating the burden of the guards. Hey, even in modern times, when it comes to festivals, the most difficult thing is security and safety.

Festivals are often canceled even if there is an accident among the general public, but if even VIPs stop by, the problem becomes even greater.

In other words, it meant that the burden on Ilone, the chief of the guard in charge of the city’s security, would become indescribably greater.

“Hey, so…… We won’t be able to meet during the festival, but… Hey, you get a vacation after the festival, right?”

Ilone rubbed his fingers and blushed at his face. It was very clear what that meant.

“Well, when the festival is over…… Can we meet again?”

“After the festival, let’s go on a date.”

“Yes?”

“Why, didn’t you mean to say this?”

“No, that’s right! Yes! Let’s go on a date.”

She was overjoyed and nodded her head. I could see her feet her go up, as if she was quite agitated just by the fact that she had a date with me.

“Because I can meet you while working hard and patrolling around.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Why didn’t I think of that…….”

“By the way, since you’re the captain, can I just walk around like that?”

“It’s okay! Because I’m the boss! What are you guys going to do?”

“Okay, then.”

Even after that, I talked about various things with Ilone. All of them were stories that we, as strangers, could not easily hear.

There were many stories that were not easily known even with Deokgu’s ability. Traditions only the locals know…….

I liked that I had a story to tell her children her, but I broke up with her just as her sun was about to fade.

* * *

Last holiday. This day we decided to call Sunday. All gathered at the restaurant, we decided to share the information we had gathered so far and consult about tomorrow’s plans.

“There’s something called Great Thanksgiving next week.”

“Great Thanksgiving? What else is that?”

“It’s Deokgu.”

At my words, Deokgu used his ability to spread information about Thanksgiving.

“Thanksgiving is…… It is a festival celebrating the prosperity of the country, an agency blessed by God, and a public holiday enjoyed by all citizens… I mean, what is Chuseok?”

“Festival? Is it a festival? Then, is there a food stall or something like that?”
“Is that right? It’s gonna be fun!”
“What are you playing with?”

The children were already thinking about what to do during Thanksgiving. Seeing that, I frowned slightly.

‘It’s not even your own money… No, it’s because it’s not their money.’

They are not using free money to grow and prepare for the future. I was wasting my eyes on reality and gambling and pleasure.

If Seoyoon abandons them, it is doubtful how they will live…….

‘Hey, it’s another world…….’

If this place had been modern, it would have been different. Having money, they would have challenged themselves to do what they wanted to do instead of just playing.

I could write, draw, make coffee, sell food, and even try singing, dancing, or broadcasting on the Internet.

Even if you fail, you don’t have to worry about making a living, so you would have continued to challenge, and if your attempts increase to infinity, the probability of success converges to infinity.

They would have succeeded in the end. And he must have become a person who earns more money than most office workers.

But where? A fantasy world that was not as good as the 20th century. A savage world without newspapers, let alone the Internet.

A city where all strangers with money can do is luxury and pleasure.

Feeling sorry for them who couldn’t do anything, I called Deokgu alone to talk.

“Hey.”

“Why? We are talking about the festival.”

“Your ability…… What is the range?”

“Range? Thats what……Could it be the world?”

“Then… Why don’t you try something fun?”

“Anything interesting?”

“Okay.”

I explained to Deokgu about the different races that exist in the world.

Beasts, elves, dwarves, and all sorts of other sub-species I heard from Illone. And about the country they created.

“…… What are you going to do with this?”

Deokgu, who confirmed its existence his with his ability his, had no idea what to do with it.

Deok-gu seems to have adapted to this world, but he is also stuck in this world. Of course it had to be.

“For example… The blackjack we caught last time. How are the dogs?”

“How is it…… [As of today, all gang members have been caught and wiped out.] It says.”

“How do you know that?”

“That’s my ability…… Ah.”

“Let’s make a newspaper. If you have the skills… You can create a quality newspaper that is impossible for others to copy.”

And that.

“…… Monopoly of information.”

“And propaganda.”

The monopoly and instigation of information, how powerful this is in this medieval world. Deokgu, a fan of creative works, seemed to know it well.

“No, this is really…… Wow. Can I use my power like this?”

“This is a fact I realized while working with Ilone. Unexpectedly, your abilities are highly versatile.”

“…… What?”

“Yes? I like your abilities.”

“No, before that.”

“Did you say you realized it while working with Ilone?”

“Why are you calling her by her first name her? Why? Have you already become like that? Huh? No way?”

“Ah, I just happened to…….”

“How come? Wow…… I thought you were friends with me… After all, an insignificant kid….”

After staring at the surprised Deokgu, I offered him a drink. As if Deok-gu had to stop drinking, he drank at random.

“Anyway, get ready to make a newspaper now. Among the girls, there was a girl who had [The ability to speed up her hands], Right? Have the dog draw a picture and make something like a seal…”

“What if the dogs said they don’t want to work?”

“Say that Seoyoon made it. I don’t want to see you guys playing. If I don’t work, I will cut off the support.”

“No, there’s no way Seoyoon would say such a thing.”

“It’s okay. There’s no way the dogs would ask Seoyoon directly anyway, right?”

If those kids have a conscience, and if they have an idea. I will try not to touch Seoyoon’s planting as much as possible to serve them.

And even if he asked Seoyoon directly, it didn’t matter. Because she and I were so sticky that we had pillow head disputes every night.

“Yeah, but…….”

“Duk-gu, don’t just play. Shouldn’t you dress up like a man for a harem?”

“…… Harem.”

“Yes, abilities are everything for men. The world’s first and only newspaper president. How capable he looks.”

Watching him gulp and swallow. I was sure I had passed it all.

“Okay then. Shall we toast to our bright future?”
“…… Cheers.”
“Cheers.”

* * *

That night.
Seoyoon came to my room.

I smiled lightly and pulled her into her bed.

“Today was my day off, so I probably didn’t use my abilities… What’s up?”
“…… Wrote the ability Because the kids say it’s hot.”
“Ah-ha, I see.”

Seoyoon started to come up with plausible excuses. Of course it wouldn’t be a lie. He must have really enjoyed something like Ah using his abilities his. Even though she herself knows that it is irrational.

She should use her ability her to make ice to cool down, because she gets hot beyond that.

In the end, I just needed an excuse and justification to have a relationship with me.

“Yoona, I have a favor for you.”

“…… What?”

“In case the girls ask you if that’s true. Will you answer that?”

“…… ? What are you talking about?”

Seoyoon tilted her head at the sound that didn’t make sense. I laughed and buried her head in her collarbone her.

“Just, don’t ask, tell me you know.”

“…… Then, I have one condition.”

“What?”

“At this festival, go on a date with me.”

“Date? That’s about it….”

“Me and me alone.”

Seoyoon made eye contact with me while displaying a heavy monopoly. She could have refused, but she smiled and kissed her on the lips.

“It is an easy request. Princess.”

Upon hearing those words, Seoyoon started to laugh.
Do you think that all women are princesses?
Since ancient times, princesses exist to take off.

Following that formula, I began to peel off the glacier surrounding the Ice Princess.
