Chapter 1200 – [The Changing World]
Eden, who left to go on a school trip from home, leads her carrier to school with light steps.
The carrier is also heavier than normal carriers, but it is light to Eden. Luggage was not too much of a hindrance to the child on the day they went to play.
And when she arrived at school, she started to feel untidy. The other children are classes as usual, but today only the 6th graders are going on a field trip, so the children in class are envious of their seniors.
In addition, a tour bus was built in the schoolyard to take the children to the airport. For the past five years, I’ve only watched that bus leave, but today I’m riding it.
Gather in front of the bus to check people before departure. Eden also came early, but there were also children who came earlier than Eden, so they gathered together.
“Oh!!! Eden, here!!! Our class bus is here!!!!”
“Looking at it, it looks like only half of us use one bus? It would be nice if there were plenty of seats.”
“Previously, two classes rode one by one, but I guess not this time. Anyway, it’s good to go wide.”
In fact, considering schools these days, where the class capacity is around 20 people, it is enough for two classes to use one bus. But even that could be quite cramped, so Shion deliberately put a hand on it.
While talking to each other, the children were surprised to see the large carrier Eden brought. This is because even Eden, who was not the size of an elementary school student, could easily get inside if he crouched down.
“Eden, why did you bring such a big bag?”
“Clothes, food, and this and that. And I’m thinking about bringing, not taking, so I’m using this on purpose.”
“Oh, you want to buy a souvenir?”
“First of all, I’ll buy half of the food and give the other half as a souvenir.”
“How much are you going to eat!!!!!”
And when the time came, we started to check the number of people. The homeroom teachers checked the number of students in their class by calling them by name one by one.
As soon as the number of people is confirmed, they board the bus immediately. Before going up, put your luggage in the luggage compartment of the bus and get on the bus with a light heart.
“Do you stop by the rest area on the way?”
“I don’t think they’ll listen. It won’t be that far or take that long.”
“Ah!!! Please!!!! I wanted to eat walnut snacks at the rest stop!!!!!”
“Eden, he must really risk his life on food”
“I will not forget this humiliation!!!! Instead, I will go to Jeju Island and eat tons of tangerines!!!!!”
“I’m really afraid I’ll eat that much.”
The children in the car left before long and headed for the airport. They spend time laughing and chatting on the bus and sharing snacks with each other.
It’s not that long, but it’s so much fun. A journey is a journey as well as a journey.
“Eden is you, but what do you have in your wallet so thick?”
“Money, cards and stuff. Oh, I have a passport too.”
“Are you stupid? You don’t need a passport to go to Jeju Island?”
“I know that, but I’m afraid there will be problems with something else. I’m a Korean elementary school student who was born and grew up eating kimchi, but everyone else sees me as a foreign adult woman!!!!”
“…….Ah, that can’t be helped”
“Because this is the only ID that will tell you my identity right away if there is a problem later. There is no such thing as a student ID at our school.”
“In the first place, I think it’s rare for an elementary school to issue a student ID. Even if it’s a middle school or high school student, I don’t know.”
It was Eden’s sadness that was too big for his age.
The bus arrived at the airport after a time that could be said to be short and long. Soon, the children get off, check the number of people again, and each carry their luggage and enter the airport building.
“Wow, a lot of people”
“I guess they are all traveling people. Oh, there are foreigners over there too.”
“Someone said it was a foreigner!!!!”
“Oh, Eden is not you!!!!!”
It’s rather strange that the children stay still without saying a word, and even if it’s a bot, it’s not a joke if more than a hundred children gather together and talk one word at a time.
However, the fuss of such children was not a big problem compared to the bustle of the airport. Thanks to that, there was no one who looked at me with a stinging gaze.
“Leave all the luggage over there…… No one brought anything strange, right?”
“Yes!!!”
“No!!!!”
When boarding time came, the children boarded the plane through the terminal. Since Shion paid for the charter, only the children and teachers board the wide plane.
Since there are more than 100 people, it is not possible to seat all of them in the first class, so we are seated in the economy class, but there is enough space to sit one by one, so there is no need to complain of stuffiness.
“The person who brought the card!!!!!”
“Me!!! Me Nana!!!!!”
“Eden, what deck did you bring this time?”
“I am the deck of bonds that my mother used!!!!”
“So what deck is it?”
“Jeongryong Deck”
“You!!! You can’t use a fraudulent deck at that time!!!!!”
“Then what deck did you bring?”
“Twelve”
“You also brought quite a bit of shit to the deck, but what. Scam VS Scam…… Who will win?”
And Eden found another child with whom he usually played card games.
The win rate itself is low, but as a child who used Exodia, which no one ignored, the deck he brought this time was of great interest.
“What deck did you bring?”
“I brought it to Ra’s Winged Dragon deck. When I think of doing a duel on the plane and the last one on the island, it reminds me of the Battle City episode, isn’t it nice?”
“It’s Marik!!! Marik has appeared!!!!”
“Enjoyable gamers and even concept-lovers……You are a true duelist!!!!”
What if the win rate is slightly lower? If you win with your favorite deck, the pleasure is greater than if you just win with a strong deck.
Eden resents himself for only focusing on winning and losing, and regrets why he didn’t bring it to another deck. At least, it would have been more fun if I had brought it as a concept deck for a different main character.
“Anyway, this game is a game of darkness. Whoever loses loses something.”
“Something like a soul?”
“No, in-flight meal”
“It’s only an hour away, but there won’t be any in-flight meals?”
“Still, will there be snacks? Hang on to each other with snacks!!!!”
There was no kid playing Yu-Gi-Oh in Eden’s class. He was in the other class, so even though he couldn’t do it when he was divided into gaiters and took the bus, he could when he was on the same plane.
He had plenty of room to sit down one by one, so there was plenty of room for card games. Eden spent an hour on the way to Jeju Island playing card games with the children without getting bored.
“God Blaze Cannon Search with Volcanic Cannon”
“No, why is the card group different but the search is done?!”
“You should curse the person who translated it”
“It’s hopeless”
And without realizing it, the children arrived at Jeju Island, the destination for their school trip.
When it was time to get off, the children shook their butts. When the plane lands and an announcement comes out, I take out my luggage and set foot on Jeju Island in earnest.
It’s the same Korea, but it’s an island across the sea. The air and atmosphere are different, and the weather is also different. Even though the weather is slowly moving beyond autumn and into winter, the warm weather welcomes the children.
“Oh, the weather is nice. Is that why you came to Jeju Island at this time? It’s nice that it’s neither hot nor cold.”
“Because it was a bit cold when I was in Seoul. It was too hot to wear another layer.”
“Korean weather has no middle, the middle”
“It seems like you don’t have a clue about the treatment of death”
Although the trip started early in the morning, it was already lunch time. Then, take a tour bus to the restaurant for lunch.
The place they went to was the main restaurant of Black Pork Duruchigi, a famous restaurant. It looked like it would be quite popular, perhaps because it has a stone wall on one side and the scenery is pretty cool.
“Sit down at a table with 4 people and tell the lady if you need a drink or something. The meat is also unlimited, so eat as much as you want.”
“Wow!!!!! Unlimited Refills!!!!!”
“Only Eden is excited”
“I usually want to sit next to Eden, but this time I don’t want to sit with him.”
Food was what Eden was most concerned about on a school trip, so Shion paid for all the meals he ate during the trip by chartering the store and making unlimited refills.
Thanks to this, Eden can eat as much as he wants without worrying about food, so he walks lightly into the store and sits down.
Aunts who are store employees are busy taking care of the children. I don’t know if it’s another customer, but since the other customer is a child, the ladies who probably have one or two kids look after the kids with a generous heart.
Soon after, the main dish, black pork duruchigi, came out. It was just seasoned meat that hadn’t been primed and came out on the grill, but when I put it on the fire and waited for a while, I heard a sizzling sound.
Duruchigi is a common dish, but each region has its own characteristics, and this method is unique to Jeju Island. When the meat is cooked to some extent, then add the vegetables and stir-fry together.
“I want to eat right away”
“Even if you are Eden, you shouldn’t eat raw meat”
“Yukhoe is raw meat.”
“Are beef and pork the same?”
With the oil from the pork and the juice from the vegetables, duruchigi is cooked on its own. There wasn’t much broth, but it was moist enough to eat without drying out, and the smell of the spicy seasoning rose up.
Its spicy scent was a mouth-watering smell of its own accord. On the one hand, it was asceticism for children of the age to eat well because they were hungry and could not eat something delicious in front of their noses. Especially for Eden.
“It’s almost done!!! Let’s eat!!!!”
“We have to eat before Eden eats it all by himself!!!!”
“What, if it’s not enough, you can do more.”
“It’s because if we match your pace and eat together, it doesn’t seem like it’ll be over in 30 minutes.”
“You can do it all day!!!”
“I’m proud”
Well-cooked black pork rolls. Pick up the meat and vegetables with chopsticks, put them on top of the rice, blow for a while, and put them in your mouth.
The spicy seasoning hits you first, and when you chew the meat, the meat’s gravy neutralizes the spiciness and adds more synergy. The vegetables are sautéed in lard, giving them a savory taste.
Eating only side dishes is salty, so I eat a big bite of rice. Eden took a large spoonful of meat, but also a spoonful of rice.
It was only a spoonful, but Eden, whose half of the rice was empty, saw it and sighed.
“Why is a bowl of rice only two spoonfuls!!!! In the old days, our ancestors ate it as gobong rice in a big bowl!!!!”
“Eden is your Korean ancestors, right? Isn’t that England or that way?”
“My dad is Korean, so he’s an ancestor anyway.”
“Anyway, you’re weird eating a whole bowl of rice in two bites.”
“You should eat ssam together.”
“Eden, aren’t you drinking?”
“Why fill your stomach with soda when you have meat?”
“There is no loophole in the glutton’s logic, so I can’t speak.”
Eden ate a lot too, but the other kids were not touched. The meat that was full of fire quickly ran out and the children asked for a refill.
I ate and ate like that, so it’s only a few refills. However, considering that the other children were still sitting at the table, it meant that Eden had eaten a lot.
A misunderstood woman who saw that figure bruised Eden.
“Oh, it seems that the teacher eats everything the kids eat. You have to eat in moderation so the kids eat too.”
“Isn’t that the teacher?”
“Eden is our class president. Not the teacher.”
“……?!”
It seemed that she thought she would be a native speaker teacher teaching foreign languages. The lady who hurt Eden seemed to be sorry for that, but this time she refilled more than her usual amount.
Eden, who kept refilling until the other kids had eaten, ended the day’s business. It is said that the business will end today after paying the rent anyway, but even if they do business again in the evening, they cannot do without the ingredients. Eden means he ate them all.
“Ah!!! It was delicious. The black pork is delicious.”
“Eden eats a lot. Doesn’t he have a black hole in his stomach?”
“My mother might be there”
“Does your mother eat too much?”
“She eats a lot even her mom, but actually she eats in moderation”
A little break after lunch. Let’s play nearby to digest a little, and then prepare to set off for the next schedule.
Since even school trips are organized by schools, the schedule is basically not just tourist attractions, but visits to places that are likely to be helpful to children. So, on today’s schedule, I visited the Jeju Aerospace Museum, one of the museums in Jeju Island.
It is a very well-equipped facility that is difficult to think of as being on Jeju Island. There were many things to see and play, including light aircraft and old fighters, spacecraft models, and video experience facilities.
Seeing the huge thing called the universe, children express their admiration. It’s a generation that can be accessed a lot on the Internet, but seeing things like that in person in a museum feels different.
“I wasn’t expecting much, but it’s amazing”
“Every time I see something like this, I want to go to outer space… But that’s never going to happen in my lifetime, right?”
“They said dreams are to be big. Have as much as my stomach.”
“A dream as big as Eden in your stomach might be as big as the universe.”
“It’s not quite like that yet.”
“It’s going to happen later?!”
“Before I die, something like a space travel package came out and I want to go on a space trip.”
Children dream of a future that has yet to come. You may think it wild, but such dreams are the prerogative of children.
Eden smiled and responded to the children.
“If we do something like our reunion later, let’s do it in space. I think it’ll be fun.”
“At that point, I think there will be more people who can’t attend the reunion than people who can’t. Eden, you’re a person with special abilities, so you won’t live longer than us.”
“Then you guys, the food is mine!!!!”
“Bitch!!!!!!”
The reunion was still a distant future for them.
But it won’t be that far in the future either.
