Chapter 129 – Beach Fun (4)
After the race, which involved a simple bet, me, Doshi-hee, and Eunbyeol each spent their own time.
First of all, Doshi-hee, who claims to have been unfairly defeated by me, jumped into the sea with a surfboard to change her mood.
It was quite a pleasure to see the blonde young lady crossing the waves with just one surfboard.
Still wearing a slingshot swimsuit that covered only the bare minimum, her breasts bobbing up and down with the waves, and of course the taste of appreciating her hips that were about to explode.
I was surprised once again because Doshi-hee’s skill in pure surfboarding was at a high level.
Perhaps because her core muscles are strengthened, she maintains her balance quite well even on the waves.
Every moment was a picture-like scene, as if it were a photo shoot for a magazine.
On the other hand, right after Eunbyeol started refereeing Doshihee and I, she was quite busy.
Not only cleaning up the mats we had messed up with bodily fluids and oils, but also going to check the cast nets and fishing rods that we had thrown earlier to prepare for dinner, or putting something in the icebox at the mansion and bringing it out. It looked like he was busy moving without a moment’s rest.
And that too, while still wearing that thick-looking maid outfit the whole time.
No matter how well-ventilated and equipped with a cooling system, it was inevitable that the viewer would look hot.
I was working hard on swimming practice while cutting the sea on my own.
Being able to swim would have been an advantage in its own right when he said that he would continue to be a hunter and explore dungeons in the future.
In the case of some dungeons, several nearby islands are densely packed, so you can only explore them if you have the ability to swim or fly.
I heard that there are even dungeons where you have to go into the water and fight in the case of S-rank or higher dungeons.
It wasn’t necessarily that he would explore such a dungeon, but it was a skill that wouldn’t hurt to learn it anyway.
In addition, Doshi-hee strongly insisted on a rematch based purely on swimming skills.
“Again, again! It’s too cheesy!”
“I’ve definitely heard about races, but not about swimming competitions.”
“Then, let’s formally compete again in swimming! This is invalid!”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t compete with people weaker than me.”
“Profit! Are you really like that?!”
I felt sorry for teasing her too much, so I reluctantly accepted her request for a rematch in the end.
Of course, since it’s been a while since I’ve been swimming again, I needed to get my senses, so I’ll practice swimming today and compete again under the same conditions tomorrow.
Next time, I decided not to use the trick of shortening half of the path by jumping.
For reference, the wish ticket, the prize for winning the first match, is of course received. This is my right acquired fairly.
I already feel happy just imagining where I can use it.
… Well, in fact, even if there is no such thing as a right to wish, it seems that Doshi-hee will listen to pretty much any play.
For a little over an hour, when I was spending time watching Doshi-hee riding the surfboard every time he took a break and swimming through the sea.
The voice of Eunbyeol, the maid, came from the sandy beach and came towards Doshihee.
“Master, Seongcheol Kim, take a break and go in!”
I don’t know when this was done, but under the parasol, she had prepared various fruits and drinks, and she was calling out to Doshi-hee.
I was a little thirsty, so I called Doshi-hee, who was riding a surfboard from a little far away.
“Si-hee, let’s take a break and go back!”
“Only ride this wave! Something really big is coming this time!”
Leaving Si-hee, who was in the middle of surfing and thinking of going to the sea a little longer, I moved to the table that Eun-byeol had set for me.
“Does the master say you won’t come out yet?”
“I say so. They said something big was coming.”
“Originally, he said something similar every year when he went to the sea. You should be out in about 15 minutes.”
“Every year? You heard that you were on active duty. How many years have you been working as a maid?”
“Because even before I served my master, as a colleague of the same foundation as my master, I often spent summer vacations like this.
It’s only been 3 years since I started working as a servant, but it’s been 5 years since I started working with the owner. The time we’ve known each other is, of course, longer.”
The news that the two had been working as hunters for quite some time was quite interesting.
“Five years ago? So, does that mean Si-hee also worked as a hunter for 5 years?”
“Hunters belonging to the Foundation set the time to be active based on the United States of America, not the Republic of Korea. Therefore, hunter activities can be started from the age of 18, which is about 1 to 2 years earlier than ordinary people.”
Then, roughly, does Doshi-hee’s age mean the same as me or slightly older?
Judging from the atmosphere she feels and the way she speaks, Eunbyeol seems to be a bit older than that….
“Twenty-six.”
“Yes?”
“My age. Because you seem to be curious.”
“… Alas, yes.”
It’s not mind reading, how do you know? The more I met him, the more strange he was.
“Come to think of it, what is Eunbyeol’s last name?”
“Yes?”
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it before.”
“…….”
After hearing my words, Eunbyeol went silent and continued talking with his face blushing a little.
“… I am fully aware that I have a body that lacks the characteristics of a woman, but such jokes are not very pleasant to me.”
“Yes? … Oh, no, it’s a surname that comes before a given name! It’s not sex that means sex!”
“…… Excuse me.”
Eunbyul’s face, which had turned red after misunderstanding my words, returned to its original color.
I don’t think she’s in shape enough to have a complex.
Even so, the fact that she was misunderstood as a man must have made her feel pretty bad.
“My last name is ‘Sil’.”
“Yes? So, are you Eunbyeol Eun?”
“No, ‘star’ is the name. My last name is ‘Eun’.”
“Ah….”
For some reason, I thought they never introduced themselves by their full names, but from the beginning until now, they have been calling each other by their first and last names.
Naturally, I thought that Eunbyeol was the first name and that there would be a separate last name.
“Then should I call you Mr. Byul from now on?”
“Kim Seong-cheol, do as you please.”
“Then, I will call you Eunbyeol from now on.”
It was subtle to change the title that I had grown accustomed to, so I decided to call it the same as before.
In the first place, it seems that Doshi-hee also calls Eunbyeol every time.
To lighten her awkwardness because of her misunderstanding, she changed the subject by pointing to something that stood out among the fruits she had sliced.
“This is the first fruit I’ve seen. What is this?”
“This is Juruk Bali. It is an Indonesian fruit, also called bali mandarin. Unlike tangerines or oranges, the inner peel is tough, so we recommend peeling it before eating.”
“It’s strange because it’s the first fruit I’ve seen.”
After picking up a piece and peeling off the inner peel, I was able to confirm that the contents similar to those in the inner peel of a tangerine were clumped together.
I opened the gap slightly and put the contents in my mouth and chewed it, and I felt the texture of the eggs popping.
The taste is similar to grapefruit, but a little sweeter and fresher? Anyway, it was good enough to eat.
While waiting for Doshi-hee to come out of the sea, forgetting about Bali, before long, the blonde young lady started walking slowly from the beach towards the sandy beach.
“Huuuuu It’s been a long time since I’ve been surfing is the best!”
“Are you satisfied, Master?”
“No! I’ll take a break and go back in again!”
“I knew you would say that.”
Doshi-hee, who speaks with a bright expression, is not tired, and her whole body is soaked thanks to the seawater.
“Eunbyeol, Golden Medalist, please give me a drink.”
Doshi-hee, leaning her surfboard slightly against a parasol, sat next to me and sipped an orange cocktail.
“Isn’t surfing after drinking dangerous?”
“It’s okay, Golden Medalists are non-alcoholic. It’s a cocktail, but it’s more like fresh fruit juice.”
“Would you like to have a drink, too?”
“Then I would also like to ask.”
If it was a non-alcoholic cocktail, I didn’t have to worry about not being able to go into the sea again, so I accepted it without hesitation.
Right away, Eunbyul, who made a new golden medalist, placed a glass with orange contents in my hand.
As soon as I took a sip, the taste of all kinds of fruits and sweet syrup hit my tongue.
“Is it delicious?”
“Yes, it is delicious.”
“Eunbyeol has the skills equivalent to the Joju Technician’s license.”
“Yes?”
I asked in an idiotic voice at the words of Doshi-hee, who calmly conveyed a mysterious fact as if it was nothing.
“It is not an official license. It just passed the short function test given by the head maid of Dokyung Group.”
“Eunbyeol’s vacation and the exam date didn’t match, so it’s as if he took the exam with the chief maid’s test instead. Even if I can’t do it, I’ll be as good as a decent hotel bartender.”
It was already surprising that she was an active maid who could pilot a helicopter, but the story that even the skill of making cocktails was of a high level, although not official, was enough to arouse interest in me.
Come to think of it, she said that until three years ago, she was an active hunter belonging to the Foundation.
Judging from the story that she knew Doshi-hee from before then, it probably means that she is also the daughter of her chaebol, or that she has skills comparable to the S-class hunters at the time.
In many ways, I wondered why I was doing Doshi-hee’s maid now.
“Kim Seong-cheol.”
“Ah yes.”
“Would it be all right if we started the evening barbecue around 6pm?”
“Ah yes. Please do so.”
“… All right.”
The eyes looking at me strangely were a little uncomfortable, so I decided not to ask the story.
