Chapter 1182 – [The Changing World]

The next day, we decided to tour Venice in earnest.

In fact, thanks to the work on Poveglia Island, the Vatican also tried to provide convenience during the trip. Of course, even though it was a country, there was not much to help with direct influence at the right time, although it did not know the social influence, but it was able to help with tourism.

Basilica San Marco, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Venice. The priest who took us to Poveglia Island in the first place belonged there, so it was easy to make sightseeing easier just by talking to them.

Thanks to this, it is possible to see various works or places that are not open to the general public.

Because of the fasting problem, even though I couldn’t properly learn how to use the Vatican’s spiritual power, I benefited from that part. In fact, if you look at Christian cathedrals or works in Italy, it’s a good story because you’ve done half the sightseeing.

“Ugh, the road here is narrow. I think I’ll bump into people on the way.”

“It can’t be helped. As Venice is a city of water, maritime transportation has developed, so land routes are not so good. There are not many roads that cars can barely pass through.”

There is a river right next to it, and the sight of boats floating on the river and people walking beside it is quite sentimental.

But experiencing it yourself is quite inconvenient. Venice’s land road is narrow because it is narrow enough to be blocked by two or three people standing there.

Instead, the appearance of the city fused with water is very beautiful. It was not called the city of water for nothing.

“Venice is famous, so I think of many things”

“What are you thinking?”

“Stop Puffing Tom…..!!! Where are you going to take your parents who gave birth to you!!!”

“No, a dress there?!

“Honestly, that part was also the funniest part.”

After walking around for a while, you get on a boat. Since maritime traffic is the main traffic in Venice, there are many ships, and today I plan to ride all of them.

The first thing I rode was the Vaporetto. It is the most common means of transportation in Venice and is called a sea bus. It is a good means of transportation to see even if it is a little crowded to move people on a fairly large boat.

“First of all, after seeing the cathedral, I’ll look at a few other things… If it wasn’t for that, I would have been able to look around for about two days.”

“How about it. It can be tiring to go around looking at everything anyway, so it might be better to just look at the big things.”

“If you say so…”

As I was watching and appreciating the leisurely sights of Venice passing by, someone in the seat in front of me turned his head and started talking to me.

No, to be precise, it was like this to Eden. The other side was a group of four men, as if friends had come to play.

“Hello? You must have come to visit.”

“Ah yes”

“Where are you from? America? England?”

“Korea”

“Ah!!!! The country of BTS!!!! That’s right, right?”

“I also listen to BTS songs often!!!”

The scene of the four men talking was quite disturbing. Even so, Eden’s appearance was attracting attention, but because of them, more attention was being drawn.

It’s obvious that these guys will get off at the same place we get off and follow them around and make mistakes as if the destination was the same from the beginning, even if the destination is different. I met a beautiful woman in my excitement of traveling, so I think of a romantic meeting and flirt even more.

But Eden knew how to escape because she had been in this situation many times. She peeks at him and she floats on them.

“Did you come to play with your friends?”

“Ah, yes. I came here to celebrate my graduation from university this time. If you don’t mind…”

“Came to play with friends. That must be fun in its own way. I’m coming with my family this time.”

“Families?”

“This is my dad”

In the eyes of others, it is hard to find similarities between me and Eden. As for her appearance, Shion’s genes worked hard, and from her body, I’m not even a woman now, so I can’t recognize her. To begin with, Eden wasn’t even that developed. Oh, of course it’s not about growth, it’s about the body.

Thanks to that, even though I was sitting right next to them, they didn’t think I was Eden’s family, or at least a member of the group. There are also racial differences, but honestly it’s a little hard to relate.

At least Eve, who will be her younger sister, is also sitting in the back seat with Jihee. But that didn’t justify what they were doing.

I narrowed my eyes at the guys who were messing around even though my dad was right next to me. When I look intently at it, it becomes the eyes of the days when the eyes of the past were dirty, making the viewer’s heart tremble.

“Oh, uh, sorry, I don’t even know if they are family.”

“No, because my daughter is pretty, there are so many people like that. Even though our daughter is still a minor with a few years left before she becomes an adult.”

“…………”

They greeted each other in a cold sweat and got off immediately at the next stop.

Suddenly I think of a shotgun for dads with daughters on the Horizon. America is a country where guns are legal, so you can carry them with a little manipulation.

It is a country where you can get shot on the road, but being able to carry a gun has both advantages and disadvantages. If you show a shotgun to the bastards who are beating Eden, they will automatically shut their mouths.

“I often have people asking for my number on the street, but Eden must be more than me.”

“Ji-hee, you are pretty enough, but Eden is just too good. Maybe if you were there, you wouldn’t have been in so many troubles because of people flirting here and there.”

“How about me, father?”

“Once you have an idea, you won’t do that to a child who is clearly illegal, but Eve, you’re fine.”

“I need to grow up quickly. I want to be treated as an adult too.”

“That looks like Zion.”

Shion also hates being treated as a child and likes being treated as an adult. That’s why other women liked the sound of a lady that they didn’t like.

Anyway, we arrived at Piazza San Marco. Since it is a short walk from here, we decided to walk here.

Besides, this place is also a plaza, but there are many things to see. It doesn’t match the name of the city of water, but it was a place with an exotic charm to the extent that the bell tower could be seen from afar in the wide open square.

“Ah, I’ve seen it somewhere before!!!”

“So, is it Jojo again this time?”

“No, Yu-Gi-Oh. Judai did a duel with Paradox here in the movie version!!!”

“I personally like the riding duel side”

“I’ve even seen Xyz summons… Maybe it’s because I’m older, but it’s hard for me to accept pendulum and rush duels.”

As Eden went around, she took pictures here and there again and again. Jihee, Eden, and Eve get together and take a picture together.

Then I asked to take a picture with him, so I tried to ask a passer-by, but a man who seemed to be a local sneaked up to me and held out a Polaroid camera and asked.

“Can I take a picture for you?”

“No, that’s all right”

I just cut it off and rejected it. The guys who recommend taking pictures in this place and that way are trying to rip off tourists.

Well, that one is a bit better. Worse, there are those who find an easy-going opponent and ask for money after taking a picture for free.

It’s stupid to save money on a trip, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend extra money. It’s free if you ask other tourists nearby to take a picture. In addition, these days, technology has developed, so if you have data, you can pick up any number of copies.

Photos printed with a Polaroid camera are emotional, but what’s important is the memories that come to mind as photos, not the photos themselves.

“It took longer than expected. Shall we eat first before going to church?”

“Oh!!! Rice!!!! I wonder what to eat in Venice!!!!”

“That also depends on the store. Let’s find a good store first. I don’t know if there are any stores I know of.”

In this episode, I have never visited Italy on this planet. Big things may be the same, but small things are not the same, so it’s hard to have a restaurant I know.

There may not be a famous restaurant that I know of, and a famous restaurant here may not exist in another district. You don’t have to go far, Antonio’s Golden Table is the first restaurant you’ve ever heard of here.

Still, it’s fun to find a place to eat as much as there’s none, so we entered the Venetian alley and started exploring restaurants.

“Oh, there’s a Michelin one-star restaurant around here. How about that?”

“I’ll have to look around first. Having at least one star would be a minimum guarantee, but even if there were no stars, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t delicious.”

But you also have to be careful. I don’t know about Eden or Eve, but I and Jihee look Asian.

In overseas tourist destinations, Asians see many things as sticks. Especially for an Asian woman like Jihee. I don’t know if it’s a difference in inclination between races, or if it’s just racist reasons, so if you’re an Asian, it’s okay to be kicked out.

For reference, I’ve been through it too. The time I lived in Italy with Ana was older, so racism was more prevalent. If it was more than today, it would have been more, not less.

And the expectations were not wrong. While passing by a restaurant, a toutman stopped Ji-hee.

Although he is a little clumsy, he tried to attract Ji-hee by speaking Korean, which he learned from tourists and had no problems communicating.

“Korean? Are you Korean? Come here!!! Pasta is 7 euros!!! Cheaper than other stores!!!”

“Yes? No, that’s all right”

“Others are also delicious. Come to our store!!!”

Since he was blocking them from passing, he had no choice but to step back to avoid them. But that bastard should avoid it. Why are we avoiding it?

As he said, 7 euros for a bowl of pasta was a good price. Even in Korea, you can think about 10,000 won for a bowl of pasta, but if the price is similar to that sold at tourist destinations, it is definitely cheaper.

Seriously, if it’s 7 euros for a bowl of exactly the right amount of pasta.

When I glanced at the shop, it was a notorious shop that remained in my memory. No, this store is here too. I don’t know why the world is different, but all bastards are the same.

I pushed Jihee back and growled, revealing a little bit of murder to the touts. It’s good to gather customers for business, and it seems that the solicitation is a bit over the line, but more than that, that shop is a shop for scumbags who don’t have a conscience as cooks.

“Hey, go away. Pasta is 7 euros? It’s not even meat. Did you bring the price per 100 grams and cheat and sit down?”

“Uh, uh…”

“That conscience-stricken store still exists. Prepare to lose your job.”

I could see his pants soaking wet as he sat down in fear because he was alive. Try to embarrass yourself in front of people.

We left that guy and moved on. He’s a little offended, but he doesn’t want to continue.

“Dad, what do you mean by that?”

“As he said, the unit price for pasta is 7 euros. Instead, we put a lot of mussels or clams in it and serve it generously, and we calculate in 100-gram increments.”

“It’s a lamb!!!!!”

“You know that half of the weight of the shell is the weight of the shell, right?

I haven’t experienced it, but in the first round, a friend came over to play at my invitation and got hit while sightseeing. I might forget what happened to me, but I don’t forget what happened to people around me, so I still remember it.

What happened to the store in that district? Well, she said that Ana, who had heard the story, would take care of it, but after a while she was attacked by gangsters and the store owner was shot and searched or something.

“Fine dining stores specify the price right from the start, but that’s cheating. You should tell your mom and let the store go out of business.”

“No, Dad will tell you.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve already sent the news to the Italian government in my mother’s name, and the results will come out tomorrow.”

“Eve’s handling is like a knife”

If a restaurant wants to charge a higher price, it has to work harder. Good ingredients, nice interior, and great taste. If you have those three things, I won’t say anything even if you get expensive.

But the problem is that he is trying to extort money from customers by lying and cheating. A cook must be honest. Otherwise, you’ll be dealing with dirty, unscrupulous cooks who cheat on ingredients and charge high prices.

After such a brief incident, we found a good shop. It’s a shop I stopped by briefly when I came to Venice with Ana in the past, but I didn’t know this would be available here too.

“Hey, I thought it was still here.”

“Mister, have you ever been here before?”

“A long time ago. It may be a little different, but if it’s still the same as back then, this is a good restaurant. Let’s go in.”

In fact, you can already tell how good the restaurant is by looking at the smell that emanates from outside and the expressions of the people eating.

A good store is revealed in its customers. This is a shop that won’t have to wait.

And we were able to have a delicious meal at the store. Fresh seafood was delicious, probably because it was near the sea, and Eden especially inhaled the fried seafood.

Thanks to the delicious food, I forgot all the bad things that happened. Yes, you should enjoy your trip.

“But since it’s the sea, I want to swim”

“You can’t go around here. The water is dirty. Come to think of it, my mom bought a villa for me. Would you like to go there later?”

“No, a villa?”

“I bought it because we were going to Italy. There would be a private beach there, so it would be much easier to swim.”

It would be nice to enjoy swimming in the sea with a group of people, but Eden is the problem for us. Since Eve is a child despite her outward appearance, at least humans who cling to her for the same reasons as Zion are not Eden at all.

Even in a swimsuit with less exposure, as long as it sticks to the body, the charm will radiate. Which man would just look at our Eden and move on? I don’t know if you’re gay.

So it’s better for us to have no choice but to play together. It’s more comfortable and you can have a barbecue later.

“Buying a vacation home just because you went on a trip, what the hell is your lady……”

“Sometimes I am also my wife, so there are times when spending money is scary.”

I am still a petit bourgeois with a sense of money, but when something happens in Shion, the units play in trillions. It is difficult for me to imagine how much money will be spent on the division of China this time and the money lost.

Our Eden is fortunate that he resembles his mother rather than his father in that part. Because too big is better than too small.

After dinner, we visited the Basilica of San Marco. This cathedral is very splendid, and if you look here and there where your eyes reach, you can find mosaics covered with gold leaf.

“Could that be all gold?!”

“That’s why this cathedral is called the Golden Church. Venice is a rich town, so there are things like that, and there are relics picked up here and there, so there are so many things to see.”

After looking around the area that ordinary tourists can stop by, I was able to take a look around the treasure room inside by calling a person in charge separately.

Seeing Jihee, Eden, and Eve looking at various artifacts with their eyes shining, I think I did a good job solving the Poveglia Island issue this time.

After visiting the cathedral, take a gondola and tour the whole of Venice. You don’t know the feeling of going through a narrow alley through a waterway unless you’ve experienced it.

“I feel like I’m on Mars”

“Is that an aria drip? Ah, if Shion were there, I would have said the same thing.”

I gave the gondolier a lot of expenses and tips to finish the business today, so he guided me with all his enthusiasm, explaining about the building he saw passing by and even singing.

Yes, I will travel and spend my money like this. The owner of a restaurant who takes profit because he can’t go overboard.

Time passed and the sun was setting. Looking at the sunset with Venice, the city of water, I wonder if there will be another photo time like this.

“It’s so cool. I should take a picture and send it to my mom.”

“She’ll like her mother too. Although she won’t try to come herself.”

“Mom is a housekeeper, so she wears a mask.”

“I make an excuse that I’m an leadern.”

While we were all looking at the beautiful scenery, Ji-hee suddenly asked me.

“Your uncle, what part of her aunt did you like to marry?”

“All?”

“No, can that be? No matter how much, there may be at least one or two things I don’t like.”

“To be honest, I also have a lot of opposite personalities to Xion. But they understand and love me, so we’re married.”

“You mean you can love each other even if there are many differences?”

“Uh…Isn’t it?”

I can see Jihee’s intentions, but it’s a bit too much to say no here. If I deny it, then my love for Zion itself will also be denied.

Hearing a satisfactory answer, Ji-hee looks at the setting sun with a smile. It will be dark soon.

……..For some reason, it’s scary to have to feel the threat of chastity during this trip.
