Chapter 903 – [Eden’s Occupation of the Kindergarten]

Eden and the children huddled together in an empty lot at the forest bathing area spread a mat brought by the teachers and take out a lunch box on top of it.

And when Eden’s lunch box was revealed, the children made faces of astonishment.

“Wow!!!! Eden’s lunchbox is so big!!!!!”

“It’s so big!!!! It’s a 3-tier lunchbox!!!!”

“Tremendous!!!!”

I knew that there were a lot of side dishes because I heard about them on the bus, but when she saw the 3-layer lunchbox, her feelings were different. Besides, the lunch boxes were not for children, but for adults.

Eden is such a glutton, and she also thinks about what the other kids will eat, so she deliberately chose a big lunch box. Thanks to her, she boasted enough portions for the other kids to taste.

“There is also miso soup!!!!”

“Miso soup? I don’t like soybean paste soup.”

“Isn’t it salty miso soup?”

“Ah!!! Is it miso soup from a sushi restaurant? I like that!!!!”

The lunch boxes placed on the mats were full of various menu items.

There were kids who packed gimbap at a fairly high rate, but even that was varied. People who made gimbap at home, people who bought it from a local store, people who bought tuna gimbap, and people who packed cheese gimbap, etc. There were various types of simple gimbap.

When I lined up all the lunch boxes, there was no buffet. But the most noticeable among them was Eden’s lunchbox.

“I will enjoy this food!!!!!”

With the pre-dinner greeting, the children’s chopsticks started to get busy. Each of them had their own packed lunch, but the common point of their chopsticks was Eden’s lunch box.

The side dishes to pick up were different, but the reaction was the same. Except for processed foods like spam and sausage, everything was handmade by the worst.

“Delicious!!!!!”

“Eden’s lunch box side dishes are so delicious!!!!!”

“Eden’s mom is really good at cooking!!!!!”

“My mom didn’t make it. My dad made it.”

“Does Daddy cook?”

“My dad always sleeps when he rests on the weekend.”

The children started to eat, laughing and chatting, appreciating each other. Sometimes we eat other children’s lunch boxes, and in doing so, we became close with each other. It is a very enjoyable time.

While we were eating, the kindergarten teacher approached us. He was looking around to see if the other kids were eating well.

“Guys, are you enjoying your meal?”

“Yes, teacher!!!!!”

“Teacher!!!! Eden’s lunch box is so delicious!!!!!”

She was quite surprised to see Eden’s three-layer lunchbox. The size is huge, but the number of side dishes is huge.

And above all, she already knew her worst cooking skills through soy sauce crab. That lunchbox must be the one the worst packed, so the taste must be just as good.

“Teacher, eat one too!!!”

“Oh, is that okay, Eden?”

That’s what he said, but the teacher didn’t have the heart to refuse. Besides, it’s just one side dish…

She was thinking about which side dish to choose, but she chose a mini pork cutlet. It is made into bite-sized pieces, but it is not the frozen instant sold in the market. It would have taken much less work to cut a large one and put it in, but each one was made into small tonkatsu and deep-fried.

Dip the small pork cutlet you pick up with chopsticks into the sauce next to it and eat it. I wonder if it got soggy because it was in the lunch box, but the pork cutlet was crispy and still maintained that crispness.

And the gravy bursts out. Although it is a small pork cutlet, it is thick, so the juice that comes out of it is explosive. The proverb that small peppers are spicy can be used here.

The climax is, of course, the sauce. Tonkatsu sauce is what adds umami to the harmony between the gravy from the seasoned pork cutlet and the batter. Even the sauce has a rich taste that I have never eaten as if it were handmade.

“Uh…That’s so delicious. It would be nice for Eden to have a father who is good at cooking.”

“I love you too, Dad!”

It was a compliment to the child, but it was also true. At least Eden would eat this kind of dish every day.

On the one hand, it was also sad. If I were doing business with this type of food, I would go and buy it every day…….. They say it’s closed now.

Teacher Yoo Su-jin asked Eden, secretly revealing her personal greed.

“Eden, doesn’t your dad say he’s going to work later?”

“I went to elementary school or before that!!!”

“So?”

It was two or three years at the longest, but it was enough time to be patient. At least for the worst dish it was worth it.

And before I knew it, the lunch box started to reveal the floor.

“Hey!!! Don’t eat all the miso soup!!! I’m going to eat it too!!!!”

“Originally, there was only a little bit left!!!!!”

Eden’s lunch box was already completely empty. There was a lot of it, but it was so delicious that I didn’t leave any.

I wondered if other kids’ lunch boxes were left over because they filled their stomachs with other people’s lunch boxes, not their own, but Eden took care of that. He ate the lunch box that Worst had packed for him, but as long as the other kids ate together, he replaced the lack of meals with other kids’.

“Eden eats a lot. Are you going to be a mukbang YouTuber later?”

“I don’t know. I like to eat, but is it good to do that?”

“Popular YouTubers make a lot of money!!!! If Eden becomes a YouTuber, he will make a lot of money!!!!!!”

“Hmm……Well”

If Eden becomes a YouTuber, he will surely become famous and earn a lot of money. It’s because she looks like Zion, she’s pretty, and she even eats well.

But she knows that Eden needs money to live because of the education she learned from the worst, but she does, and she has learned that money is not the most important thing.

Of course, having a lot of money is good. But sometimes the things that really matter can’t be bought with money, so use good judgment and don’t be fooled by money.

“Since we ate, let’s play!!!!!!”

Anyway, after lunch, the children decided to throw away the trash on the mat, organize their lunch boxes, and enjoy the rest of their free time.

It might be embarrassing to jump right after eating, but it didn’t mean anything to the children. It was more important to jump and play right now rather than an uncertain future.

But Eden had one more important business than playing with her children.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a minute”

“Huh? Eden, isn’t that the direction of the bathroom?”

“I saw the restroom over there before, but it’s dirty. I’m going to look for another restroom nearby.”

Eden has gone somewhere, away from her children. The direction is where she felt the reaction earlier. She knew the direction, so all she had to do was approach it.

She had to step on and hurt the grass as the human path was cut off in the middle, but curiosity outweighed the discomfort.

Soon, Eden arrived at a place where there was nothing but a dense forest. She was in a place where there was nothing so that no one passed by.

Strangely, however, there were people there.

He wasn’t human, but at least he was a human being. And Eden had seen it when he was very young.

Her memories are fuzzy because she saw her as a baby, but at least the feeling she felt was clearly imprinted on her. I don’t know why, but she feels instinctively reluctant.

“Huh, black…”

And there was a man sitting on a rock in the forest and crying. He looks normal on the outside, but when you approach him, something creeps up.

It’s not because the temperature is low because of the shade of the forest. He was something much more foreign.

Eden talked to such a man.

“Mister, what are you doing there?”

“…………!!!!!!!!!!”

The man stopped crying and lifted his head to the point where he wondered if his neck was broken.

Complex emotions swirled in his eyes. Deep despair, and on the other hand, the very little hope I saw in that despair.

“You, you…… Can you see me?”

The man was a ghost.

* * * *

The earth where Eden lives is a place so clean that ghosts and ghosts are rare.

This is because when Eden was a baby, Ardolphina once toured this planet and organized the ghosts and ghosts wandering around the world. That is why, for some time afterward, spiritual events were so rare that psychic powers such as shamans and exorcists were unemployed.

However, that did not mean that ghosts or ghosts would not appear forever.

The human world is always unreasonable, and in such an unreasonable world, people who leave grudges and lingering feelings always arise.

And among such people, those with strong psychic powers remain on earth and become wandering souls despite the gravitational pull of the afterlife or the left of reincarnation. They are the so-called ghosts or ghosts.

“Are you a ghost?”

“That, yes, uh, yes. I died…… Yes, I must be a ghost, as you said, probably”

The man’s voice trembled, as if it had been a long time since he had talked to a person. Even though he doesn’t have to quiver in his throat or vocal cords to him with only his soul left.

A ghost that takes the form of a human and shows that tendency means that it is gifted with psychic powers to that extent. However, there was nothing ironic about realizing it only after death.

“But why were you crying, Mister?”

“I-I…”

There are walking trails and pedestrian paths nearby, but this place is quite remote from there. If it was a ghost crying in a place like this, the situation would be quite awkward.

Eden suppressed the physiological rejection that came up instinctively when he saw a ghost. It’s just a characteristic of Hanon that Eden has, but it’s not absolute, and above all, Eden was able to tolerate it because he was half Hanon.

“D-I went mountain climbing, me, mountain climbing is my hobby, so while I was climbing the mountain…… I found a suspicious person.”

“Are you suspicious?”

“I’m a hiker, but I didn’t feel like a hiker… Besides, the atmosphere was strange. Climbers have an atmosphere of enjoying the mountain unless they were forced to come, but they didn’t have that. I was secretly chasing you.”

They say curiosity kills the cat.

And, as the saying goes, curiosity drove a man to his death.

“Yeah, but those people!!!! They were dealing drugs!!!! It’s clear!!!! The stuff I took out of the bag was wrapped in plastic, but it was like white powder!!!! I was shocked and made a noise, People call me……Aaaaa!!!!!

It was very painful for him to recall the memories of his death.

And the man who met his death in that way remained lingering and became a ghost. And that’s not just an ordinary ghost, but a jibakryeong nailed to this spot.

“I don’t know how much time has passed since then, maybe a year or two passed lightly. During that time, no one recognized me or heard my words… I felt like I was going crazy.”

Then Eden spoke to him.

I don’t know how much salvation and hope it was for him. Even if a psychic comes to visit, it is difficult to find such a remote place in the mountain, and above all, a psychic with a low level cannot see a man.

The soul basically has a high interference coefficient. It is possible for a ghost or a ghost to pass through an object because the interference coefficient is higher than that of matter.

And even if it’s the same ghost, the unique interference coefficient is different depending on each person’s talent for spiritual ability. That’s why it can happen that even the same ghost cannot see each other.

If you can handle spiritual power even a little bit, you can control it and cause physical phenomena, but even if you have talent in spiritual power, in order to handle it, you must have a strong will to recognize and deal with it. That is, if you don’t know, you can’t.

Eden learns this ability from the worst, and not only his own qualities, but also the purity of his spiritual power is very high. He only lacked experience among the spiritual powers of Earth, but his spiritual powers themselves were comparable to those of higher spirits.

So he could find the man and see him clearly. Coincidence coincidence overlapped……Or maybe it was an inevitability created by someone.

“I think I can understand to some extent what you are saying. Did the bad guys kill you?”

“Okay………”

“Then do you have any regrets or grudges?”

The souls that do not go to the afterlife and remain in the world are divided into two main categories.

Those who have lingering feelings, and those who hold grudges. The remaining souls for other reasons were rather rare, so it was okay to ignore them.

It was possible to force such a ghost to become a Buddha, but the natural way was the best. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t accept all of their lingering feelings and grudges.

In particular, those who were killed by others were more likely to hold a grudge against the person who killed them. The act of killing the living for the dead is different from simple revenge. After all, even ordinary revenge is done by the living to the living.

“I-I’m going to be buried somewhere around here. Remember that. So, will you find my body and give it to my mother?”

How would the parents feel when their son suddenly disappeared and their body was never found?

Even if he became the jiba-ryeong around here, it was because he had such lingering attachments. It’s not that he doesn’t have a grudge against the person who killed him, but since he’s already dead, what should he do with it?

So, the only regret left for him is to deliver the body to his mother. Even if you know your child’s death with certainty, it’s better than living believing that you’re missing for the rest of your life.

“Boo, please, you’re the only one. You’re the only one who’s been able to come here and see me in the past few years…”

“If you listen to that, will you be able to go to heaven?”

“I’m worried about my mother, but……She can still shake it off and go.”

There is no heaven, and if you can go to that heaven, at least it will be better than being chained to the earth as you are now.

Eden readily agreed. But that didn’t mean they immediately called the police or anything like that.

“First, go tell my dad. My dad can see ghosts too.”

“You, your father too…? Is your family a shaman or something?”

“My dad is a cook”

“……?”

Are chefs exorcising or exorcising spirits these days?

However, if you can see ghosts equally, adults are more reliable than children. However, if there is one important problem, the man could not escape from this place because he was under the spirit of the earth.

“I’m sorry, but I think you should bring your father here.”

“Since you don’t know, would you like to go with me first? I’ve seen ghosts, so it might be different.”

“Is that so…?”

Because he had small hopes, he also had bigger hopes. The man took Eden’s tiny hand and moved to free himself from the encirclement that entangled him.

I was able to go to a place where I couldn’t go out anymore because I was blocked by something I couldn’t normally see. Seeing this, the man burst into tears of joy along with a devastated laugh.

“Okay!!!!! I can get out of here!!!!Haha!!!! Thank you, thank you kid!!!!!”

In fact, Eden did not have the power to release the bondage of the Underworld Spirit. Although he had sufficient spiritual power, he lacked the knowledge and experience to do so.

It was only thanks to Nuri’s black crystal, the great demon king of freedom, that was shining in the bracelet on Eden’s wrist that the man was released from the Underworld. Because it has the effect of releasing all fetters and restraints.

“I’m not a kid, I’m Eden”

“Yes, thank you, Eden……..Ah, the old man says he is vain.”

Eden’s first day of kindergarten picnic coincided with Eden’s first exorcism day.
