Chapter 928 – [Eden’s Occupation of the Kindergarten]
Children talk a lot. It was no different from Jongseong. It chatters non-stop throughout the flight on the sled.
However, the children talking and asking are half curiosity and half wanting attention. So, if a child asks a question, it is good for educating the child to answer as sincerely as possible.
“Is Rudolph the one in the front? How many presents are in the present package? How fast can the sled run?”
“Slowly ask them one by one. If you ask them all at once, you don’t know what to answer first.”
It’s good to see you excited though.
How does it feel when children dream big and achieve their dreams? Even if it happened in childhood, those feelings will last a lifetime.
If you live with that emotion, you can stand up and move forward no matter what happens. Even if childhood innocence disappears as you become an adult, the feelings you had at that time will remain and become the driving force for living.
“Anyway, this year will be quite comfortable.”
“What does that mean?”
“I know that I’m coming, so there are people gathered in one place waiting for me.”
“Ah, I see…”
There are many people waiting for Santa at home, but there are also people waiting outside to meet Santa. What should I say……. Some people watch the New Year’s bell ringing at home on TV, and some go there to watch it in person, right? It kind of feels like that.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that you spend the night with your child. Children sleep a lot, so even if they sleep during the day, they cannot stay up all night. Eventually you will fall asleep
But for kids who are excited about meeting Santa, they can stay awake for hours outside on a cold day, even if they don’t stay up all night. Children’s innocence overcomes their desire for sleep.
“I can’t let go of those children’s expectations.”
“Are you going to get a present?”
“Of course, Jongseong-ah. Shall we go then?”
As Santa swung the reins, the reindeer began to accelerate with the sound of a whip. And it flies rapidly at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour.
If we flew at that speed, even an adult man would be blown away from a sled without a seatbelt, but the wind that touched us was a bit like a chilly winter wind.
“Wow!!!! It’s so fast!!!!!”
“Heh heh!!!! If you put your mind to it, you can turn the earth a few times in the blink of an eye!!!!!”
“It’s amazing!!!!! It’s Santa Grandpa!!!!!!”
For children, Santa Claus must be a greater presence than Superman. No, but moving at the speed of light is at the level of a real Superman.
The sleigh, which was flying fast, arrived at a place where the big Christmas tree in front of City Hall Square, which I had seen before, was visible. And the people gathered in such a plaza wait for Santa while laughing and chatting.
“Your kids don’t need this kind of service if they want it.”
“What kind of fan meeting is this!!!”
“Isn’t it almost the same?”
Before long, Santa lowered his altitude and flew. As you pass between the buildings, Santa’s distinctive ho-ho-ho!!! And makes a laughing laugh.
His voice spreads all over the place even without a microphone. And people who looked around to find the source of the sound soon found us.
“It’s Santa!!!!!!”
“Wow!!!! The real Santa Claus!!!!!!”
“There’s Santa noona over there too!!!!! The real Santa is here!!!!!!”
These are different reactions. In fact, there are people who have seen a sled flying in the sky for the first time now, so they are shocked by the unrealistic and unrealistic sight that is generally incomprehensible.
But there is no fear in it. Because Santa is a symbol of innocence. That’s why, no matter how unrealistic it is, other emotions take precedence over fear.
Soon the sled begins to descend gradually. And landed in a relatively empty space. Show yourself in front of people.
“Hohoho!!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!”
“Santa!!! Santa!!!! Santa!!!!!”
“Santa Claus Hee Hee Hee!!!!!”
It’s like watching a famous idol concert. But in this case, there were no restrictions or no one to manage it.
In particular, children came out of their parents’ arms and ran towards this side. There were so many people that I wondered if I could go back to my parents later, but that still couldn’t stop the children’s innocence.
“Nice to meet you all. Shall we see who is there? Jaehyun, Moonsu, Seyeon, Suzy, Taeju…”
“Wow!!!!! You know my name!!!!!”
“Really amazing!!!!”
Santa called each of the children by name. Even if there are hundreds of children gathered here, I knew all of their names.
Children are of different ages. There are children of the same age as Eden, and there are children who are in elementary school or middle school. The high school students… I could count them on one hand, but there were still a few.
After all, the more you grow up, the less innocuous you are, but where is it? Even when you grow up, if you have childhood, it will help you to live in this world.
“Now then, this old lady will give you a present. I don’t know who will come out of the gift box first, but there is no one who won’t receive it, so don’t worry and wait. A good child can do that, right?”
“”””Yes!!!!!!!””””
And Santa started handing out presents. Jongseong and I took gifts out of the package and gave them to Santa, slowly helping to distribute them. In particular, Jongseong is full of motivation, so it is a mask.
“Santa, this is a boy named Jun-sang.”
“Yeah, thank you”
Take out the gift, check the name written on the gift wrapper, and inform Santa. In fact, it is an unnecessary act because Santa knows everything about which gift belongs to which child.
“Huh? Who are you?”
“I’m Santa’s assistant today!!!! Instead of presents, I said I wanted to be an assistant, so Santa gave me permission!!!!!!”
“Wow!!!!! I’m so envious!!!!!!”
Jongseong boasted of being an assistant to the children who asked. A small child’s Santa suit needed no other evidence to prove it.
Santa strokes his head as he hands out presents to the children one by one. It wasn’t a long process, but it wasn’t short either, so it took quite a bit of time.
“I don’t know if I can wait this long. Can I give all the presents to the children of this country before I wake up?”
“If time is not enough, stop the time and give it.”
“That’s such a scale”
“If you’re only considering the size of your power, you’d be able to do that much, but what?”
“Because I’m not that major”
If it were Santa, he would be able to stop the time of this star. And not just in minutes, but in days. That’s about the power of Santa Claus in Christmas.
Of course, my strength is greater than that. However, if there is a difference, it can be said that it is a difference in efficiency.
It is natural that a person who has practiced 100 times is better than a person who has practiced once, right? Even in the army, a late sergeant is not likely to be better at shoveling than a private.
Even with the same power, the result varies greatly depending on the efficiency. My strength is greater than Santa’s, but in fields other than my major, such as time stopping, I have to use all my strength to demonstrate Santa-like abilities.
“By the way, what’s the relationship between Santa and Grandpa Santa?”
“Yes?”
While I was working, a girl asked me. No, if you think about it, it was definitely a question you should have heard at least once.
Everyone else knows about Santa Claus, but they don’t know about me, the assistant next to him. Jongseong is like that today, so even if I put it second, I did it last year too.
The most famous woman next to Santa is Grandma Santa, but she is not that famous either. Besides, if she’s a young woman, she has no one coming to mind.
“Her sister is her Santa and her grandfather’s relative”
“A relative?!”
“Yes, sometimes I help Santa like this and distribute gifts together.”
The story of being a relative of Santa Claus is not a complete lie. To be honest, lying to a kid who wants to get Santa presents for Christmas is a little prickly.
Santa Claus is a follower of the dream giant Koo of Warm Dreams. And I am the husband of a fellow countryman, Korma.
So, somehow, a kinship relationship is established. It’s just that when others see it, they look like nephews or cousins.
“Santa unnie is a relative of Grandpa Santa!!!”
“Santa Claus had a family too!!!!!”
“So there’s Grandma Santa too? Is she at the North Pole?”
“Then I want to go to the North Pole and meet Santa!”
“Santa is still here.”
“Not at Christmas!!!!!!”
I see children’s dreams come true.
It is difficult for ordinary people to go to the North Pole, but it is not impossible if you make up your mind and prepare. And that dream becomes the future of the children.
I wish I could make my dream come true If you can achieve your dream even after going through a lot, you can stand proudly saying that you lived a great life even after death.
And before I knew it, I handed out all the gifts of the many children. It was time to go somewhere else.
“Hohoho!!! Then see you next year guys!!!!”
“Ah!!!! Santa Claus!!!! Stay a little longer and go!!!!!”
“I want to do the same, but I can’t help it because I have to give gifts to other children. But if you guys can be good kids next year, you’ll be able to meet me again.”
“Then I’ll be a good kid again next year!!!!!!”
“Me too!!!! Me too!!!!”
“Then let’s make a promise to this old woman.”
Giving dreams and hopes to the children until the end, Santa left the road again.
There are dozens of places where people gather like that. If you count the numbers alone, it seemed that millions of people had gathered. Of course, considering the number of children, it became tens of thousands. Last year, I didn’t know because I was busy chasing rebels or Chinese officials, but I realized that there are many children in the world.
And the night deepens By the time I thought I had turned around, it was time for dawn.
In fact, there are still many children to give presents to, but time aside, even ten bodies were not enough.
“Hmm, it would be better to do the rest as an alter ego. We have to send Jongseong back home, so let’s go back.”
“Huh?! Santa, can I still do it?!?”
“Good children go to bed early and rise early. And if you go in too late, your parents will worry.”
“But……”
“I’d like to ask you to act as my assistant again next year, if you want.”
“And next year?!”
“Okay”
Jongseong smiled widely. It feels so good to be able to work with Santa again next year.
And Santa made clones and sent them all over the country. Perhaps they will hand out presents not only to the child we gave them, but also to the children waiting at home or sleeping children.
If Santa wanted to, it was as simple as teleporting the present to his bedside. Honestly, that’s the easier and simpler way.
But the reason I don’t do that is because I take pride in analog work. Children expect Santa to secretly leave presents by their bedside, but what would they think if Santa did not come and left presents alone?
Even if children don’t know, that is an act of denying the existence of Santa itself. So, even if it’s hard, you just have to do it.
“I’ve arrived, Jong-seong. Oh, that Santa suit suits you well, so I’ll give it to you as a present.”
“Huh?! Really?! Ha, but being an assistant is like getting a gift from me…”
“You have to have that outfit so you can ask for an assistant again next year, right? It will grow as much as you grow, so don’t worry about the size.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Santa!!!!!”
“Then see you next year!!!!”
After taking Jongseong home again, we set off again. On the way, I sneakily asked Santa about his intentions.
“Are you really going to make me an assistant after taking on the role of an assistant like that?”
“Now that I’ve set foot in this world, I’m sure the people here will need a window to communicate with me. For example, I’ll ask you to destroy a giant meteorite that is flying toward Earth as a Christmas gift.”
“No, did something like that happen?”
“There were about three times.”
“It’s too much?!?!”
Well, there is truth in what Santa said. Now, it is as if we have become a part of this world, but we cannot live forever ignoring the words of the state or people.
In addition, Santa’s only window is about children around the world…….. If we were to discuss major national issues, we needed a more direct means of interaction, rather than through children.
If Jong-seong grows up later and still has the intention of working as Santa’s assistant, wouldn’t it be the first time on this planet to become Santa’s assistant?
Of course, that is in the future. Even when Jong-seong grows up, he may lose his innocence and get into an accident of injustice. I can’t be sure because I don’t know what the future will be like.
Still a child. If possible, I want to think positively.
“But where are you going? My house is not this way.”
“It’s not bright yet.”
“Is there another place to go around? Shouldn’t the rest be sent around?”
“The clones will follow after solving this one, and do you remember which area I said I was in charge of?”
“I said it was on the Korean Peninsula… Ah”
After talking to myself, I felt like I knew it. It was because Korea was not the only country on the Korean Peninsula.
Santa deliberately said the Korean Peninsula, not Korea. So, all countries on the Korean Peninsula, including South Korea, are saying that North Korea has to go around.
It really looks like it’s going round and round until morning. The good news is that the population of North Korea is much smaller than that of South Korea.
“There are many gifts that North Korean children want, including food.”
“Even North Korean children give gifts. I already knew, but it feels different to go in person.”
“In the end, the difference in ideology and the purity of children are two separate issues. I just wish you would stop calling me an American agent…”
“Red must be a symbol of communism!!!!”
“As part of the tools, I did have a sickle and a hammer for now.”
“Aww, I feel like Santa is going to get involved in a leftist controversy when I hear that!!!!!”
Ugh, it suddenly reminds me of Santa Lenin and Adolph the Reindeer.
Stand up!!! You!!!!
