Chapter 996 – [Ghostbusters!!!]
There was nothing unusual about Eden’s daily routine, which started school and went to school every weekday.
In the morning, we usually have breakfast made by Worst and go out together in his car to work. After he arrives at school he goes in greeting all the kids.
“Oh, hello Eden!”
“Hi!!!!”
“Hello, Eden!”
“Hello senior too!!!!!”
Eden’s connections did not discriminate between gender and age. People who don’t want to be friends with a silver-haired beautiful girl with transcendental beauty are either jealous of Eden or people who are very shy.
Eden’s school was in a different building for the lower grades (1st to 3rd grade) and the upper grades (4th to 6th grade). Even so, even the seniors in the 3rd grade who use the same building knew Eden, so you can see how wide Eden’s network is.
And as wide as it is, there are many people who are interested.
“I’m here?”
“Ah!!!! It’s Dahee!!!!!”
“You sent another love letter. I’ve only seen this on TV, but since I’m next to you, I see it often.”
“Oh, are you here again?”
On Eden’s desk, there were several love letters piled up that could have been seen in romance comics.
That’s the reason Eden doesn’t have a cell phone yet. He rarely needed anything, and when he did, he had adults around him. If he was a bit older, he would have communicated business through KakaoTalk, but since he can’t, he uses a more romantic and classic option.
On the one hand, it was proof that the children were still in elementary school. Because it’s a fresh action that innocent children would do.
“Hmm~”
Eden took out her love letters from her desk and read them one by one.
About 4 came today. That alone is proof that Eden has 4 boys who are interested in her, but she is used to Eden and is not interested.
“It’s all bad”
And Eden tore up her love letter and threw it in the trash.
Dahee watched that scene many times, but considering Eden’s usual appearance, she couldn’t help but be quite distant. Because the usual Eden was a good kid who liked eating and delicious things.
“Every time I see that, I don’t get used to it. I usually look like an idiot.”
“It’s usually normal. At that time, you don’t have to use your hair. If you use your hair all the time, it hurts and bothers you.”
“So, is this one also bad? Don’t you like anything?”
“So it was. You’re pretty, let’s date or something.”
Since the sender is an elementary school student, that part is unavoidable. However, that is not what Eden sees.
“Guys who don’t even have the courage to come and say that they like them have no obligation to write a reply”
“If you look at it, some of the seniors in the third year who are pretty good sent them.”
“Dahee, what do you think of a guy who confesses to you through KakaoTalk?”
“Ugh, that’s gross”
“I don’t know if it’s going to be a date, but confessions have to be done in front of the person in question.”
Eden learned a lot from the worst. He has a view of life, morals, ethics, and even love. Even if it wasn’t until Dr. Cheok Cheok in love, he could tell the story of his love story and the difference between men and women.
Thanks to that, if he doesn’t ask to date in front of him, all other opponents are eliminated. In the first place, there is no need to wait because it is below the standard.
That said, there is no need to tear up the handwritten love letter, but there is no obligation or loyalty to write a kind reply to those who do not have the courage to confess directly. And if you do that, Eden will tear it up and throw it away because it will only create fools who want to receive a handwritten letter.
“Now I see you are just like that.”
“What is that?”
“It’s like a golden retriever”
“Ah, you’re saying it’s like a fool right now?! That’s a compliment!!!!!”
“Yeah, with all those positives combined.”
Dahee’s evaluation was very suitable for Eden. It was also said that she had been observing her Eden well.
Golden Retrievers are big, cute, and gentle. It was like seeing the usual Eden. But at the same time, they are smart enough to be adopted as guide dogs for the blind. That part also resembles Eden when he is washing his hair.
And one most important thing. No matter how nice and gentle the Golden Retriever is, it is a large dog.
It’s not even a job to turn a person into a rag when you’re angry. The terrifying appearance that Eden sometimes shows also resembles it.
“Then Eden, don’t you like someone?”
“Isn’t there anything?”
“Then what would be your ideal type? Which boy do you like?”
At that moment, the murmur of the class died down. At the same time, the boys in class like Eden became focused on the conversation between Dahee and Eden.
If you are the ideal type that the prettiest girl in your class or school likes, of course you have no choice but to be interested. It’s a material that seems to bring about this or that division, but Eden didn’t care about it and said.
“Someone like my dad”
“No incest!!!!!! I can’t marry my dad!!!!!”
“I said he was like my father, but I didn’t say he was my father.”
“…… Eden, what kind of person is your father?”
“He is good at cooking, good at fighting, has a good voice and is faithful to his family.”
“What is it, why are you so perfect?”
“The downsides are that I don’t have very good hair, that I can’t stop getting angry, and that I have a normal appearance.”
“Are you bitter even to your own father?”
“That’s natural. Is there anyone in the world who has no flaws? And they said that people who love each other should be able to love the other person’s flaws as well.”
“I wonder what kind of place your family is really like. Eden, do you look like your father or mother?
“I look like my mother, but they say I use my body like my father.”
“First of all, it’s really good when you look like your mother.”
As I was chattering, the time became class time before I knew it. Eden spends his time listening to classes and studying diligently today as well.
It’s an ordinary day, but today was a little different.
“Oh, it’s cloudy. Will it rain?”
“Isn’t there a typhoon coming?”
“Oh man!!!! I didn’t bring an umbrella!!!!”
While taking classes in the morning, the weather outside gradually started to get darker. The air becomes humid as dark clouds gather. It was a sign that it was going to rain.
“Eden, did you bring an umbrella?
“I always carry a small folding umbrella in my bag”
“Oh, I see……..”
A boy who had a dream of going home with Eden under an umbrella sank. Still, it’s great that you have more courage than the kids who write a love letter with your daughter and send it to you.
The weather, which had started to get dark, soon began to rain. The midsummer heat was cooled by the cool rain, but on the other hand, it was rather chilly because of the heavy rain.
“Wow, it rains a lot. Even if I use an umbrella, my feet will get wet when I go.”
“I can’t play on the playground today”
The sound of heavy rain and a dark classroom. Even with the lights on, the atmosphere was dim, but it was lunchtime, so it was even darker because some of the kids who had lunch had tried to take a nap, so the lights were turned off.
Rumble!!!!
And then there is the sound of thunder that heightens the atmosphere even more. Thanks to that, the children started to enjoy the atmosphere.
“Hey, you know what? The reason I’m telling you to be careful on the road these days is because of a traffic accident that happened on the main road over there…”
“Ah!!!! I hate scary stories!!!!!”
“If you don’t like it, go somewhere else. Only listen to people”
The atmosphere was awesome, so there were children who told ghost stories. What I saw on the Internet, what I heard from adults, what I read in books, and the routes I learned were different, but the stories the children knew were similar.
However, among them, there were children who told quite interesting stories.
“You know what? It was before our school was built.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Before, during the Korean War. This area became a battlefield. Then, the North Korean army came down and pushed them back, and in the end, they say that a lot of people died here.”
“Is that real?”
“It’s the story the vice principal told me.”
“No, what are you talking about?”
Dahee grumbled, but did not leave her seat. This is because the story of a ghost story in such a good atmosphere is exciting.
The child continues the story. A gloomy energy began to flow in the dark classroom, using the dim light coming from the hallway as a light.
“The North Korean army gathered the dead in one place and either buried or burned them, and one of those places was the site where our school was built. By the way…”
“By the way?”
“We were working on building a school, and when we dug the ground, dozens or hundreds of skeletons came out. After that, we tried to build a school, but people kept getting injured or killed during the construction… Somehow, the school was able to be built, but there are too many stories of kids who went to school seeing ghosts after it opened.”
There were eyewitness accounts of ghosts in military uniforms, ghosts in hanbok, and many other ghosts, but at least at a glance they knew they were not people of that era, so the children judged them to be ghosts.
Eyewitness accounts of seeing ghosts continued to overflow, and eventually, when an incident occurred in which a child was seriously injured, the school called a brave shaman to perform an exorcism.
“But I guess the shaman couldn’t help it because there were so many opponents and they were all grudges. So instead, I used an amulet to put the ghosts to sleep and stuck it somewhere in the school.”
“Then isn’t it over?”
“It would have been nice if it ended there. But isn’t it strange? That our school building looks like new for a building built in the 6.25 era?”
“……….Uh?”
All the buildings at Daemyeong Elementary School, where Eden attends, are new. It’s a new building that has only been built for a few years, so it’s not so old that Worst and Shion also chose it based on the condition of the facility.
This means that the previous building was demolished and rebuilt.
“Our current school building was rebuilt after demolishing the previous building.
“Well, then……”
Gulp, I hear someone swallowing saliva.
It’s not like drooling. It was saliva to swallow with a dry tongue and throat. Without realizing it, the chilly energy and fear of ghost stories make you feel thirsty without even realizing it.
“There are still people who often see ghosts. There is a story that a guard who stood guard at night saw a ghost in a military uniform and quit.”
“You’re lying, right?”
“On a rainy and gloomy day like this, ghosts might come out…”
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
At that moment, a thunderclap rang out, just in time. Because it is a loud sound made at just the right moment, the children who were concentrating on the story startled and screamed.
“Kyaaaaah”
“Aaaaa!!!!!”
It was a mess for a moment, but it soon calmed down. To be surprised by the sound of thunder, it was a story that the children were innocent even though they were focusing on the ghost story.
After the story was finished, the children were once again silent. Make a fuss by talking loudly.
“Hey, but do ghosts really exist?”
“Honestly, there’s really no such thing as a ghost.”
Eden, who was listening to the story, almost said that ghosts are real, but she stopped. She was taught not to let others know of the existence of psychic powers.
So she didn’t say that Eden could see ghosts, except for those with this ability who could believe in the existence of spirits. Because humans are afraid of the unknown, that would eventually drive Eden into loneliness.
“But if you look at it, don’t you think there is something like a soul?
“No, ghosts are all superstitions and coincidences? There are no ghosts.”
“No!!!! There are ghosts!!!!!”
“Then how are you going to prove it!!!!! You have to have evidence to believe it!!!!”
Modern society is like that. If you want to prove something, you need proof. The era of being able to do something by force is over long ago.
How will you prove the soul and the ghost?
So, the child made the best… But the worst choice.
“Then wouldn’t it be okay to call a ghost?”
“What?! What are you going to do?”
“Impossible!!!!!!”
And Eden responded to that word.
Even children’s play can have meaning in it. If so, it is natural for spiritual beings to react, so problems arise.
“If a ghost comes out because of the alter ego, then it must be that the ghost really exists, right?”
“Yes!!!! If a ghost appears, I will admit it!!!!!”
“Okay!!!!! I can’t change my words!!!!!”
Soon, the children, as if interested, gathered together and began to work. Not knowing if that would cause trouble.
Originally, such an act was not to be done for fun or interest. But the kids didn’t know that fact, and even if they knew, they didn’t care too much.
Maybe Eden won’t listen even if he says it. There is no reason to stop it, and even if it is blocked, it will surely be done secretly in a place where there is no Eden.
“……It’s ruined.”
“Why are you so depressed again?”
Eden could only sigh at the situation that was unfolding.
