Chapter 86 – Episode 86- Flying Pig (2)

Seoul Zoo.

A zoo newly established by Seoul Park, the largest theme park with the best facilities in Korea.

This zoo, located next to Seoul Park, one of the three must-see places in Korea, welcomed a huge crowd during the vacation.

Under the white sunlight, countless people smile as they see the animals stretched out on the bars.

A mother holding her baby’s hand and pointing at an animal.

A father staring at a lion giggling like his son.

A day at the zoo always seemed warm and full of laughter.

But now the darkness has come.

The zoo, which seemed harmonious, had disappeared without a trace.

“Ehh… Mr…”

A man swears, trudging along.

The man was wearing a uniform and hat with the words ‘Have a happy day’ written on it, and he was holding a dustpan and tongs in both hands.

“Damn it, this is why our country is a problem. There is no civic consciousness, civic consciousness.”

A man grunts and picks up trash on the street with tongs.

Unlike the daytime, the evening at the zoo is a secluded darkness.

Only the dim lights of the sparsely placed streetlights illuminated the zoo, which was always bathed in bright sunlight.

No, in fact, there was another light that pushed out the darkness inside the zoo.

“Ugh…”

A man who stops walking when he sees something while walking.

Following the man’s vision, the eyes of a bright yellow animal were staring at the man, shining brightly in the dark.

“Purr…”

A deep resonance that cannot come from the human vocal organ.

Feeling chilled by the cry, the man unknowingly moved cautiously.

“Damn it, it’s because I’m on duty on a day like today.”

After some distance from the animal staring at him, the man grumbles again.

As the manager of the zoo, he continued to patrol by picking up garbage diligently, resenting the fact that he was caught on duty today, when the largest number of people gathered.

“Ha…”

Bend down on his back and give him the trash, so you can feel the soggy feeling.

The man straightened his back, stretched himself, and accidentally looked at ‘something’.

“Uh… Uh…?”

Did I see it wrong, I rubbed my eyes a couple of times, but the thing that came into the man’s field of vision didn’t disappear.

Rather, it just shines brighter.

As if possessed by a man, he approaches toward what he is looking at.

Jerk, jerk.

As each step passed, the man approached faster and faster, and eventually the man threw his whole body and ran.

“Heo-euk… Heo-euk!”

The man who arrived at his destination gasped for breath and looked at the guy beyond the bars.

“Quiek.”

The guy also turned his head and looked at himself, as if he felt his gaze.

“What… What is it? This…”

Beyond the window, slightly faded over time, an animal emits bright yellow light.

It wasn’t the animal’s eye light, the body of that beast was emitting a brilliant light like gold in all directions.

“Poetry.. Fuck. Great.. It’s awesome.”

The man murmurs while looking blankly at the ‘golden boar’ that exists inside the bars.

In the eyes of the man who had been staring at the golden boar for a long time, there was a ‘desire’ that anyone could notice.

After a while the man disappeared, along with one of the animals in the boar pen.

“… You.”

A girl glaring at me with haughty eyes.

Under the bright sunlight, Violet, who was wearing an open-shouldered dress, said the first thing she said as soon as she saw me.

“Sorry, I was here first.”

Even though he came 30 minutes earlier than the appointed time, Violet was already waiting at the appointed place.

Walking leisurely to the rendezvous point, when she saw a nice girl with long purple hair standing under the fountain in the distance, she instinctively sensed that it was Violet and ran like crazy.

“Well… That’s okay. I came out quickly.”

Like a habit, Violet answered while fixing the earring I gave her.

Watching her action, her gaze was lost in a daze at the white neckline under Violet’s ear.

Her neckline, graceful like porcelain, and a drop of sweat that flowed slightly had a strange suction power.

“What… What is it?”

Violet backed away with her cheeks blushing slightly, as if she felt my gaze staring at her.

“No, I want to be prettier today. Without knowing…”

He answered Violet with a shy smile.

“What… What is it?! Really!”

Violet, startled by my praise, fanned her face with her white hands.

I laughed out loud at that cute gesture.

“But why did you ask to meet here today? Wouldn’t it be better to just call the driver and go?”

“Ah, that’s what you mean.”

A few days ago I called Violet and asked if we could go to the zoo together.

At first, Violet asked me, ‘Who are you going with?’

There are some things that she didn’t ask in detail, and since I haven’t explained it yet, Violet is probably thinking of this zoo tour as simply a date with me.

Actually, the scenario with the date is cleared, but…

At 15 o’clock at the Seoul Zoo, which we will visit today, the scenario I was looking forward to so much happens.

‘Golden boar escape chaos!’

This scenario, which has a cute name that might appear in a children’s animation, is quite crowded despite its name.

This is because the golden wild boar that randomly appears in one of the four directions of Seoul Zoo, east, west, south, and north, flies through the air and scatters gold.

You might think it’s honey, but that’s a big mistake.

Every time this golden boar passes, the gold it drops arouses people’s greed and incites them to fight.

This guy flying through the air sprays tremendous wind pressure in all directions.

Normally, getting this guy out of the zoo would be the way to clear the scenario, but I’m different.

Today I will catch him and get the ‘Golden Boar Mane’ item.

When I put off answering because I’m lost in thought for a moment, Violet stabs me with her white finger.

“What is it, why?”

“Meeting, there are things to talk about… And it’s better to be together like this.”

“Is that… Is that so?”

Violet slightly moved the corners of her mouth as if she was in a good mood.

“Okay then let’s go.”

Violet strides towards me and extends her arm.

Although she behaved without hesitation, I smiled at Violet, whose cheeks were flushed.

As I wrapped my arms around the pure white Violet, a pleasant warmth passed through my skin.

So we set off for the Seoul Zoo.

* *

Inside the bus to the Seoul Zoo.

Inside, after I finished explaining to Violet what would happen today, for some reason, Violet gave me a puzzled expression and said,

“You called me for this?”

Seeing Violet’s pouty face, I vehemently denied it, and when I explained that I had called you for a date, Violet quickly let go of her pouting expression and raised the corners of her mouth happily.

To Violet, a surprisingly easy-going lady, I gave a general explanation of today’s strategy, and around the time the general explanation was over, the bus arrived at the Seoul Zoo at just the right time.

Chi-Ik-!

The automatic door of the bus opens with a loud bang.

Me and Violet got off the bus and started walking towards the zoo entrance.

‘Jumjamjam~ Come to the fantasy zoo~ A place full of fun scenery~’

The theme song of the zoo that can be heard from far away.

The melody was quite addictive, so I approached while humming without realizing it.

Even though it was a weekday, there were many people at the entrance of the zoo because it was summer vacation.

“Kieh-! It’s a zoo! Dad!!! Mom!!! Come quickly!!!”

A little boy screaming like a goblin gallops beside me.

As many people flocked, the people looking for this zoo were diverse.

Foreigners, grandfathers, couples, families, etc.

A densely packed crowd of people line up in front of the entrance.

I turned around, worried that Violet would be offended by the crowded crowd, but my worries were unfounded.

Violet’s intelligent eyes were twinkling and watching people.

Even the little boy running amok in front of me, Violet observes with interest.

“There are a lot of people because it’s vacation…”

After clearing his throat, he gave Violet a hint.

“Yeah, but they all look happy.”

Violet answered me with a smile.

Unlike me, who was overcome with thoughts of wanting to blow up the little boy who had been rampaging in front of me just now, Violet was very optimistic.

“That’s right haha!”

As they chimed in and chatted with Violet, the line in front of the entrance quickly decreased.

“Hello~ Happy Zoo. This is Seoul Zoo, sir~ Can you show me the tickets?”

A pretty staff member standing in front of the entrance, wearing a uniform, waves at us.

Instead of tickets, Violet and I held up our student IDs at the Great Devil Subjugation Academy and showed them to the staff.

“Oh my!”

The employee’s older sister is surprised when she sees the student IDs of the two of us.

That’s right, because students at the Great Devil Subjugation Academy aren’t common.

In this country, the students of the Great Devil Subjugation Academy are receiving tremendous benefits.

Every month, the government subsidizes the dignity maintenance cost of 1.5 million won, free transportation, and free use of various facilities.

And one of those facilities is this Seoul Theme Park.

“You were a precious student couple guest~! Have a happy time!”

The staff sister opened the door to the entrance, and we entered the zoo.

The sound of cheerful songs coming from all directions and the loud laughter of people.

Colorful sidewalk blocks and a mysterious building designed for a theme park.

I only moved a few steps and entered the zoo, but the atmosphere changed in an instant.

“Wow…”

Violet looked around busily as if seeing this for the first time.

“Let’s go, Violet.”

I squeezed her hand tightly.

“Let’s go inside and have fun.”

At 15:00, Violet and I moved briskly, determined to enjoy the date with Violet as much as possible before the golden boar came.
