Chapter 819 – Sihee Date (2)

I learned something new about the fact that Sihee had never even experienced hamburgers other than handmade ones, but actually, if you think about it, it wasn’t such a big deal.

To begin with, this wasn’t the first time Sihee and I had differences over the financial sense of the rich and the common people. Of course, now I make enough money that I can comfortably spend tens of thousands of won per meal, but the very texture of my growth process was different from Sihee, who had never eaten a hamburger other than a handmade burger.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there’s a way for a single hamburger to create a dramatic difference in values. Sihee nodded after hearing the explanation that regular hamburgers are not served on a plate like this, but wrapped in paper, and eaten with the mouth rather than a fork and knife. This was the extent.

I was expecting a reaction like ‘You eat with your mouth, it’s unclean!’ Like the second generation chaebols in the media, but that didn’t happen.

Actually, if you think about it, hamburgers were a type of sandwich to begin with. Even if Sihee had never tried any other hamburgers other than handmade burgers, she must have encountered sandwiches several times, and she did not express much discomfort at the act of eating them with her mouth.

It was a day when I learned something new about what movies and dramas show are just exaggerated illusions.

‘If you think about it, you didn’t show off much like a chaebol girl even on your first date.’

Sihee was also happy about things like the music she often listened to while walking in the park and the accessories sold at street stalls. I thought I would react strangely to eating a hamburger with my mouth, so maybe I was just being weird.

After finishing our meal with those thoughts in mind, we immediately spent the afternoon and then explored a place for a date.

“Where will you introduce me next?”

“Well, I don’t know. First, since we overworked ourselves today, it will be a little difficult to enter the dungeon again, and it would be nice to have a place where we can spend some time together.”

“I don’t really care where I go as long as I’m with Sihee.”

“… Yeah, I guess so! Still, just in case, I wanted to ask one question. Is it okay?”

“As much as you want.”

“Which do you prefer, staying still or using your body?”

“… “Staying still and using your body?”

Is it like a quiz with some dirty meaning? Difference between normal rank and male rank?

Of course not. In the first place, I had already said that I would prepare for bed tonight, so Sihee would not necessarily intervene.

Maybe I was just asking in an innocent way. If it’s a date where you stay still, it’s like a movie theater. If it’s a date where you use your body… Is it something like table tennis or bowling?

Well, I was a little tired, but sitting still wasn’t really my thing. And asking this question would mean that Sihee had prepared something of her own, and I was also curious about the details of the active date she had prepared.

“If you’re asking me, I can only say that I naturally prefer using my body.”

“I thought Seongcheol would say that. Now, follow me this way.”

It was Sihee who grabbed my arm and moved with those words, and it was me who walked with her into a large building, holding my arm in her hand.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

The place where Sihee brought me was an ice rink with a wide ice rink.

Since it is a foundation, it seems like they really have all kinds of facilities. At least it was clear that it was a facility that could not be afforded in a company or union building.

At this point, it occurred to me that there might be a swimming pool or hotel on site. I was curious about whether this was actually the case, so I directed my gaze toward her and asked a question.

“I didn’t know there was an ice rink within the guild. “Isn’t it quite large for a leisure facility simply for the welfare of hunters?”

“The facility itself is closer to leisure, but an ice rink is an exercise facility after all. “It is natural that there is a facility to improve the physical strength of hunters and for leisure activities.”

“Then there might be a swimming pool or gym in the foundation building.”

“Isn’t it obvious? “Aren’t there any exercise facilities at the company guild?”

“There is an indoor gym, but of course there is no swimming pool or ice rink. There is only one building to begin with, and there are no conditions to put something like that in.”

The scale of the gym is probably different from the one operated by the foundation. Sihee looked slightly surprised at my answer and asked me if I was serious.

“There is only one building? Then how do I eat or shop?”

“Meals are eaten at the company cafeteria… Normally, guilds don’t have any special facilities for shopping.”

“… It’s a little shocking. “Guilds other than the Foundation were living the life of hunters in such harsh environments.”

… I’m not sure why the lack of a shopping center creates a poor environment, but that’s the way it is from the chaebol lady’s point of view. Is there some standard that I don’t know about among the essential elements for foundation hunters when performing hunter activities?

Anyway, it wasn’t that important, so I hung up and entered the ice rink, then immediately rented skates that matched my foot size.

Since it was a skating rink built inside a hunter guild, there were no men’s skates, so we had to rent women’s skates, but it didn’t really matter. In this world, the design of women’s skates was more crude than that of men’s skates anyway. As long as the size is right, it doesn’t matter.

As I waddled into the ice rink wearing skates that were tight to the size of my feet, a pleasant chill ran through my body.

“It’s nice that the air is cool.”

There was something refreshing about it that was different from the cold winter air outside. Cool, clear air that is neither too dry nor too wet.

It was a feeling of greater contrast, perhaps because I had been fighting a muddy battle on Stormy Island for quite some time just a little while ago.

“So, Seongcheol, have you ever skated?”

“I rode it a little bit when I was attending hunter training school. There was also an ice rink among the training facilities.”

“Hmm, I see.”

The only people with awakening abilities related to ice were cold magicians, so most of them were being used as leisure facilities for students, and I, who was thirsty for awakening, trained for a few days and then turned my attention to other areas.

Meanwhile, Sihee, who asked me if I had ever skated, seemed strangely confident, and now I felt like I knew why she had asked me to come to the ice rink.

“Of course, since I’ve only ridden it for a few days, I’m obviously inexperienced. “I learned it in a very superficial way to begin with, so I may have forgotten everything now.”

“I’m just saying it’s not something I’m used to. Are you okay? “I can at least teach you how to skate.”

“When you say that, Sihee, it seems like you ride pretty well?”

“I’m normal too. But these basic sports are a kind of essential culture. At least I can ride it without being embarrassed by others.”

Looking at his strangely confident attitude, it seemed like he had really learned how to ice skate.

From the beginning, Sihee had a physical style, starting with the fact that she used a bow as her main weapon. It wasn’t that strange that she could skate since she had also learned how to swim properly.

And it is not impossible to understand the psychology of wanting to show off in front of men in an area in which you are confident. Even in the original world, was it a basic instinct for men to reveal themselves to women? In this world, of course it would be the opposite.

What made Sihee happy was what made me happy. Therefore, so that she can feel confident for a little longer, the title she calls Si-hee has also been raised slightly.

“Since you’re so confident, I guess I can learn and ride today. Thank you, Teacher Sihee.”

“Teacher Si-hee… ?”

“Are you sure you don’t like it?”

“Oh, no! Great! I will teach Seongcheol everything about what kind of sport skating is and how to skate!”

It was a blonde girl pushing her breasts with a confident expression, so just by seeing Sihee’s expression, the purpose of today’s date was almost achieved.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

To start with the results, Sihee’s bold ambition to teach everything from beginning to end was unfortunately not realized.

Of course, I’m not as good as Sihee, who learned skating professionally, but that doesn’t mean I can’t skate at all.

At the hunter training school, he said he had only ridden for a few days, but that was only a story from when he was an aspiring hunter, excluding his experience in his previous life, so it was a natural result.

In my previous life, there was a university ice rink near the high school I attended, so I went there quite often with my friends during winter break.

Although I had never learned properly from a teacher, I was still confident that I could ride quite well for an average person.

“Can I ride like this, Teacher Sihee?”

“… You seem to have better balance than I thought, Seongcheol. Usually, tall people like Seongcheol find it difficult to balance. … Next, lean forward and feel like you are pushing your body out at a 45-degree angle…”

-Wow!

“Is this what it feels like, Teacher Sihee?”

“… “You really only rode it for a few days, right?”

“I learn quickly because Teacher Sihee teaches well.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

He looked strangely suspicious when he saw me following along as he was told, but he couldn’t have felt bad about praising me for teaching him well.

And this time, we’re not really competing with each other. When we had a swimming competition the other day, the conversation happened to go in that direction, but today we planned to enjoy our date leisurely without any such competition.

As I was having a great time pretending to learn how to skate from Sihee, holding her hand and hugging her body, I suddenly noticed a sense of discomfort that I had not felt at first.

“Now that I think about it, the skating rink is large, but there are hardly any people. “Are you all busy with your expedition?”

“There’s no particular reason, it’s just that there are no original people. Since it is a facility within the foundation, only hunters from the foundation and their families can use it, and as I said before, even excluding the ice rink, there are many other facilities within the foundation.”

In fact, excluding Sihee and me, there were about five or six other people, and if you look at their faces, it was obvious that they were really enjoying their own hobbies.

There is one hunter who is running hard along the outermost track on speed skates, and there is another hunter who is dancing around splendidly, using cold magic to create a snowflake-like path in his wake.

And other than that, there were about three or four people leisurely walking around on the inner track like us.

Sometimes, as a male hunter, there were a few people who looked at me in amazement, but they couldn’t easily recognize me because of the scarf and hat. Maybe they don’t think of him as a hunter, but just as Sihee’s family.

… I continued the date with Sihee and felt quite happy with natural skinship, but unfortunately, those happy feelings did not last as long as mine.

“… Someone thought it looked familiar and asked, “Aren’t you Nari’s friend Sihee?”

It was the moment when two uninvited guests appeared before our eyes, interrupting Sihee, and I’s very enjoyable date.
