Chapter 508 – Date With Sieri (3)

Pedestrians were moving busily. A middle-aged man in a yellow coat was walking in front of him with a big smile. A 5-year-old child ran after him and fell. As soon as the child fell, the people around him shouted ‘Oh,’ and hurt him instead.

The child’s mother, who followed right behind, carefully raised the child. Seeing her frown to hold back her crying, I giggled. I wasn’t the only one laughing. The father of the child who returned again wrapped his back and lifted it up. With a patting sound, they were buried under the shop lights on the other side of the festival square.

Just before they faded into complete shadow, something caught my attention. It was a roast chestnut seller who was pulling a yellow cart rattling around. He was wearing black horn-rimmed glasses and a dark black mask. His arms his were walking all the way, and he was a man with forearms.

A loud trot sounded from the roasted chestnut cart. As I hummed and sang along to a popular song that had passed, I met Sieri’s eyes his. Sieri was fidgeting with his fingers his, looking at the roasted chestnuts. I asked her

“Would you like some roasted chestnuts?”

“Yes.”

Sieri looked like she really wanted to eat. She would normally decline, but she nodded her head hurriedly and replied ‘yes’. I liked her puppy-like appearance of her, so I poked her in the face once, and Sieri tilted her head as I poked her, then burst out laughing.

The roasted chestnut vendor did not panic even when foreigners came. When I look back, Sieri was sitting on her bench on her. There were a lot of people in the park to watch the fireworks, so someone had to reserve a seat.

“How much is it?”

“Yes, it is 4,000 won for a bag.”

I bought 4,000 won worth of roasted chestnuts and turned around. Thank you The greeting was scattered over the popular song.

In a short while, a scuffle broke out in front of the bench. A woman with an 8-year-old child was standing in front of Sieri. She was a woman with a very strong impression, her hair was permed like a loofah, and her face her was distorted as if she had all the complaints in the world. She opened her eyes and spoke softly to Sieri.

“So. My son’s leg hurts. Yeah? If an adult tells you to yield, you must yield. Why are you talking so much? Uh? I don’t know what country you’re from, but in Korea, it’s polite and manners to give up your seat to adults. Manners. Uh? Got it?”

Sieri looked back and forth between me and her aunt with a very puzzled expression. Meanwhile, the child was whining and annoyed at his mother.

“Mom, my leg hurts! I want to sit here! Sit down!”

“Hey! Mom is talking right now!”

“My leg hurts! It hurts!”

The child screamed All the eyes of the passers-by who were busily moving between the street lamps were focused on us. The little boy slumped in his seat, and her aunt was intent on pulling her son with her strong arms. I said sitting next to Sieri.

“I don’t have that kind of manners, so don’t worry about it.”

Sieri looked at the child with a puzzled expression. She told me carefully.

“Ah, but that. My child is in so much pain…”

“Heel.”

I reached out and heeled the kid. The child, who had been frowning and whining like she was about to die a little while ago, suddenly widened her eyes, jumped up, and called out to her mother.

“Mom! My leg doesn’t hurt! I want to go to the playground and play!”

“He… No, her mother her is trying to take over her position her now, but why is she doing this and that… Uh? Uh huh?”

The child immediately picked up her energy and started running towards the playground, dragging her mother her. She looked like a wild boar running with a person on her back. It was a temporary energy recovery, so in a little while, the energy will run out again. I said, putting a roasted chestnut into my mouth.

“All right? That kid does n’t hurt his leg his. We sit here and watch the fireworks.”

“Yes.”

There were dozens of people holding their smartphones and looking up at the sky. A duck boat was floating on the shore of the black river, losing her master. I saw the owner of the duck boat lowering the shutters of the store. There were tourists taking pictures around the boat, and there were also people drinking soju on the terrace of an outdoor food stall located a little further away.

We were looking at the stall as if it were a performance hall. The people in the stalls were also talking while looking at the fence marked “Fireworks Festival Site”.

On the temporary stage stood a modest speaking table and a moderator. Behind him, people in suits sat in rows like a choir. They were all old, boring people. Most of them seemed dissatisfied with their positions. It was like that just by looking at the drooping lips.

Siri said.

“Somehow, it’s my first time at a festival like this, so I’m nervous.”

“I’ve never seen this myself.”

When I was young, I didn’t know what a fireworks festival was like, and when I got older, I didn’t have time to go. Sieri looked a little surprised when I told her I had never been here before. I shrugged her shoulders and put roasted chestnuts in her mouth. Sieri stuffed her roasted chestnuts into her mouth and chewed on them like a goldfish feeding on her food her.

That look was also cute, so I pinched his cheek of her.

Soft music rose with the first fireworks. In the blink of an eye, the solid line that flew up into the sky became a wave and spread widely. Scattered sparks like dandelion spores flew above the clouds, leaving acrid smoke and gray shadows.

As if trying to ruminate on the traces of the missing flame, a series of colorful solid lines crossed the sky.

Sieri was raising her expression as much as the first fireworks went off. I was preoccupied with observing the fireworks and Shieri’s face alternately. She laughed, was surprised, and flinched every time the colorful and large fireworks exploded.

“It’s like magic.”

She said so Hearing that kind of evaluation from someone who lived in a fantasy world, I felt strangely proud even though it wasn’t made by me. I nodded her head at her words her and looked at the fireworks that went off in time with the music.

No stars were visible in the sky. However, the sparks shining as bright as the stars filled the moment beautifully. Sieri naturally came out and crossed her arms. I looked at her leaning her shoulder her. As if surprised by her actions of her, Sieri flinched and stepped back from her, then she dug her head further down as if she were going to lean on her of her.

I rubbed her head against Sieri as if I were fighting a bull, then I pulled her back her as if I could n’t win. As if waiting, Sieri leaned her head on my shoulder and brushed my back her.

“Lucius. I love you.”

“I love you too. Sierra.”

No matter how many times I said I love you, it was fun. I squeezed her hand and looked up at the sky. The largest fireworks sparkled brilliantly. The evening sky, where the last fireworks burned, slowly turned back to its original color. Sieri blinked her eyes. She felt as if she had slipped out of her dream as soon as the music stopped.

People wandered aimlessly and moved to a nearby bar or bar. Sieri said, looking at the sky still ripe with gray smoke.

“That’s too bad. I won’t see you when I go back.”

“Why can’t I see you? You can ask Ash or Artie to do it for you. I do it sometimes. We. An orchestra was lined up, music was played, and more colorful fireworks were set off with magic. Is it good?”

“Maybe?”

Sieri seemed to like her fireworks. I nodded her head. We held hands and got up from our seats. Complete darkness fell in the night sky, and people were going their separate ways.

I asked Siri.

“Sierri. Is there a particular play you want?”

“What do you want to play?”

She understood my words a beat late and twisted her body. She told me

“That that… Because you showed me something cool today. Whoa, I’ll give you anything you want.”

I thought of breastfeeding play, but unfortunately Sieri didn’t have any children yet. She felt the need to get pregnant quickly. And, instead, I had another idea. I looked at her with her sly smile. When Sieri saw that smile, she said with a worried face.

“You shouldn’t be too weird… I think that?”

“For example?”

“… It’s like the situation play you did with Eve the other day.”

“Ah.”

I couldn’t hold back my sighs. A situational drama in which I, the director, eats a ballet member who was practicing ballet. It was a situational drama in which Eve exploded while immersed in acting, and ended up having sex while wearing only ballet clothes. In fact, if I had a chance, I wanted to do it again.

“Would you like to try that?”

Sieri was frightened.

“I can not! I will die of embarrassment!”

“It is surprisingly fun. One of my goals right now is to have the hero do it.”

“… Is that?”

“Absolutely.”

“I feel sorry for the hero sometimes.”

“It is destiny. You have to accept it.”

Wouldn’t that be unavoidable?

*******

So we returned to the hotel.

We rented a room under a different name in a different hostel than last time, and we took a break and turned on the TV. It was because I was curious about how the international situation had changed in the meantime. As soon as I turned on the TV, the news was broadcasting.

“On the other hand, due to the previous NIS raid and recent provocations by North Korea, discussions about extending military service are being actively conducted in the National Assembly. According to the municipal plan, the military service period is extended from the current 18 months to 24 months…”

“Aaaaagh! Aaaaagh!”

I couldn’t overcome the guilt and screamed.
