Chapter 67 – Episode 67 – Summer Vacation, Beach (4)
While the women were leisurely sunbathing in the sun, I went out into the street to buy a drink.
People move around and chatter loudly.
Street vendors on the streets are lined with a variety of food and entertainment.
I was really happy that I could feel the atmosphere of a vacation just by walking.
“Oh, should I live there?”
On the way, a street vendor caught my eye.
A pale green liquid dripping in a beautifully decorated cup.
I figured out the identity of that liquid by reading the words ‘non-alcoholic mojito’ under the table where the drink was placed.
Yes, the pretty appearance is just a drink that our female crew will like.
I strode towards the street vendor to pay.
“How much is this?”
“Oh, it’s 5,000 won. Guest~.”
“Give me five.”
As I take out my card and try to pay the bill, I hear a whisper next to me.
I thought it might be a customer who bought a mojito, so I ignored it and received the mojito and shoved it into the subspace.
“Ah.”
A small voice next to me.
“What?”
Hearing that familiar voice, I turned my head and looked at the person standing next to me.
He is wearing a rash guard that fits snugly to his square shoulders and ant waist, and a long-brimmed hat is worn snugly on top of his head.
Her tiny face is also largely covered by large sunglasses, so I couldn’t take a closer look, but I know who this woman is.
“Violet?”
It’s not common to have shiny purple hair that flows down the hat.
“…”
Violet stands there for a moment as if it’s broken, then pulls her sunglasses down with her fingers.
Two intelligent eyes stare at me blankly.
“You… Why are you here?”
“Are you on vacation?”
I taught myself how to dress with my hands.
An exposed upper body, and a boxer swimsuit underneath.
“Ugh…!”
Violet’s cheeks blushed and she hesitated and stepped back.
Why are you like this, I didn’t do anything bad… Black.
“That… So whoa…”
Violet chews the horse several times.
And then he looks at me with a resentful look.
No, because I didn’t do anything.
I smiled at Violet and ordered a mojito from the store clerk.
“Now, you wanted to drink this. This is also meant to be, so let’s talk slowly while drinking.”
When the mojito is handed out, Violet silently accepts the mojito and puts on her sunglasses.
“Yeah.. Well.. I’m here to play, so I have a lot of time.”
So I and Violet started walking along the beach with a mojito in hand.
“Violet, are you on vacation too?”
“Yeah… Well. It’s a ritual since three years ago, my family and I came here to play every summer.”
“Ah, Governor…”
He spat out, realizing that he had made a mistake, and shut his mouth.
The fact that Violet’s father is the president of a military industry is not a fact Violet told me, but a fact I found out ‘in-game’.
“… Well, that’s okay. You already know, so didn’t you ask for a ticket the other day?”
Violet calmly said as if nothing was wrong.
“Is it?”
I replied shyly scratching the back of my head.
Well, you must have figured it out by the time you asked for tickets for the masquerade.
“Because you were, well, a person whose identity was unpredictable from the beginning.”
Violet stares blankly at me as she sips her mojito.
I was embarrassed and scratched the back of my head.
“It’s not a compliment.”
I giggled at Violet’s sharp words.
“What’s so funny?”
“No, when we first met, Violet, you were wary of me and we were awkward.”
“That’s because you beat me up.”
Being beaten up is a sound that will cause serious trouble in today’s world.
It’s just that we fought against each other legitimately, huh…
“Well, anyway, unlike then, now we’re talking to each other like this. It’s so strange.”
As the months passed, my relationships in the world changed so much.
There are more people who really value me, and my happiness has increased as well.
“Yes…”
Violet silently walked along the beach with me for a while.
The sound of the grains of sand tickling pleasantly in the ears.
The beating sunlight warmly fills the gap between the two of us.
Even without saying anything, it’s just a comfortable and warm relationship.
That’s my relationship with Violet right now.
After walking on the beach for a while, Violet breaks the silence and speaks to me.
“You came here to play, right?”
“Right.”
“Then let me play too.”
“Huh? He said he came to play with his family, are you okay?”
“It doesn’t matter, I’m an adult now, well.”
Jjuuk
Violet drank the entire mojito, put the empty glass in the subspace, and suddenly grabbed my hand.
“Uh… Uh huh?”
Inside our gap filled with sunlight.
The space between them is joined hand to hand and filled in anew.
Violet pulls down her sunglasses with her hand.
Intelligent eyes twinkle and stare at me.
“Why are you so upset?”
“Keuheum! That’s…”
The white sunlight hits the purple hair and breaks it.
This purple-haired girl with a slight smile sparkles in front of my eyes.
What man could not be taken aback by this spectacle?
“Let’s go. I’m sure you didn’t come to the beach alone.”
Summer, a season that heats up warmly.
The girl’s courage blooming in the sunlight shook the boy’s heart like that.
* *
“What?”
I returned to the seat where Violet and I spread out the mat, and a strange sight caught my eye.
Three muscular men with blonde hair and tanned bodies talking to our female crew while flirting.
“That…That!”
It’s not old, but I ran to the women’s camp with that familiar look.
“Hey? You want to play with us?”
As expected, the blonde tanned guys talking about lines that didn’t deviate even an inch from my expectations.
In order to try to make skinship with the president who is lying on the sunbed subtly, he stretches out his hand.
“Here you are, mister.”
I quickly removed his hand and blocked his way.
“What are you doing now?”
I growled and bluffed.
“Hey~ kid, why are you disturbing us?”
I’d never even heard the voice of that blond tanned man, but it was strangely familiar.
A tanned blond man giggling and showing me the piercing on his tongue, twitching his brown muscles.
I’ve never seen that before, but I’m used to it.
“What is it, monopolizing all these women? Hey~”
Blond tanned man 2 chuckles from the side and puts in a choo-im-sae.
Curiously, the blonde tanned man 2 had a similar voice and appearance to the point of being twins with blonde tanned man 1.
“Aren’t all these girls girlfriends of little boys? Couldn’t you play with us? Hey.”
3 tanned blond men raise their faces menacingly with their mouths twitching.
But why the heck do you keep adding that “Hey” Choo-im-sae?
I can’t understand.
“Kyaaak, Jojun-nim, what should I do? I’m so scared.”
The president rushes into my arms.
“Yes Yes?”
I was dumbfounded and asked the chairman back.
No, the president who can sweep away even a truckload of blonde, tanned thugs with a flick of his finger is like this?
When I looked at the president in my arms, I realized the reason.
The president’s blue walls were full of playfulness.
“Ahhh. It’s scary.”
The vice president, seated next to the president, muttered in an awkward tone.
No, Vice President, the acting is so awkward that even those blonde tanned guys will notice, right?
“Hey~ That’s right, kid? Why don’t you hand over three women to these older brothers?”
To my surprise, the vice president’s acting worked.
As I stand still in this absurd yet chaotic situation, the blonde-tanned bullies cling to me and raise their faces menacingly, as if they had mistaken me for being frightened and rigid.
“No, over there.”
I said, pushing the disgusted face away with the palm of my hand.
“I’m a student at the Great Demon Subjugation Academy, right? You’d better just go.”
As if taken aback by my words, the blonde bullies make eye contact and whisper.
‘Hey~ Is that true?’
‘It’s okay, they say they’re public figures so they can’t lay a hand on us hey~’
‘Hey~ Even if they’re talented, it’s okay if there are three of them~’
I hear everything.
Now, the behavior of those three people feels funny.
“Hey~ kid, anyway, these hyungs don’t want women…”
Tuuk.
The hand of a blonde bully touching my shoulder.
When a man’s hand touches my body, which is sticky with sweat and seawater, I feel extreme disgust.
So, without my knowledge, my hand went out.
A fast-stretched fist brushed the tanned blonde’s chin, and he fell behind the tanned blonde.
“Hey~?”
A tanned blond man muttering blankly next to me 2.
“What happened?”
The blonde-tanned man who touched me, as if he had come to his senses from being hit, expresses his astonishment in a normal tone while lying face down on the sandy beach.
“Hey~ Violence is bad…”
I didn’t want to hear the fucking way of speaking, so I swung my fist at the tanned man 2 and hit the chin.
Fluff.
Lying on the sand
And muttered normally, ‘What is it?’
Yes, hitting was the answer.
“Uh…”
Before the blonde and tanned man 3 finished speaking, I swung my fist.
Fluff.
Three blond tanned men lying side by side in the sand.
“Turn it off.”
At my word, the three greeted politely, saying ‘I’m sorry’, and then ran away without looking back.
Today I found the answer to the blonde tanned thugs.
If I just beat him, I could stop that fucking tone and flirtation.
“Cook-Cook.”
From behind, the chairman smiles, covering his mouth as if satisfied.
Yes, it must be because the president likes it.
I also proudly looked at the tanned blondes who ran away with a bright smile.
By the way…
“”Oops!!!””
The blonde bullies scream and fall to the floor.
“What’s wrong?”
Did you miss a step?
However, it is strange to see those bullies fall over.
While lying on her back, she frantically pushed the sand with her legs and desperately pushed it out.
As if surprised to see ‘something’.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
Not only the blonde bully, but also the people around him screamed.
All screaming people had one thing in common: they were staring at ‘somewhere’.
In an instant, he grasped the place and looked around at Mana in his eyes.
“Damn it…”
I unknowingly spat out swear words.
The object that came into sight…
It was none other than a human corpse.
The whole body was soaked in water and the corpse swelled, barely maintaining its human form.
And the eyes of the corpse’s face were empty.
But the corpse’s face was smiling.
Ting Ting French I couldn’t make out very well, but I was sure.
The corners of the man’s mouth were stiff as if he was forced to smile.
The sea bathed in pure white light.
On the beach, which seemed to be filled only with peace, such an accident began.
