73. Champion Party! go on a picnic (2)

After getting information from the library.

I headed home.

And gathered the children in one place and declared.

“Everyone knows that the prize of Hare comes first, right? The picnic is tomorrow, everyone, prepare your luggage. It’s two days and one night.”

“to? It’s so sudden!”

“Life is like that. You, too, were suddenly abducted.”

“… It’s quite convincing, sir?”

Luna nodded in agreement.

Just in case I looked around the other children, Ha-re had left first to pack her things, and Estiya just stood there blankly.

“My, my Seongsu… ”

It seemed that he had not yet recovered from the shock of defeat.

The moment when I saw Estiya like that, and I also turned back to prepare.

Saten asked me.

“Uncle, is it compulsory to participate in the picnic?”

“Why are you asking that, Saten?”

Judging by this flow, it will definitely go as I expected…

no way… ?

Saten nodded and continued.

“Yes, as you expect, I do not want to go on a picnic. I hate such childish behavior.”

I don’t like to go on picnics.

Saten expresses his disapproval.

However, it is also my freedom to reject the refusal.

“Because I am acting like a child, I will not go on a picnic. That can’t be a good reason, Saten. I will not reject your refusal.”

“I hate being outside, man. I don’t really want to go outside. I need time to think. There is also a little cat in the house, so I will look after the house alone.”

… Can not be done.

If I’m away from home

If someone breaks in or something happens, you can’t help Saten.

The picnic area is a little far from Henencia.

It is safer to take them all.

I replied stubbornly to Saten.

“If you are worried about the kamnyangyi, you can also take the kamnyangyi with you. And, I will give you enough time to think there. You are a group and there are no exceptions, Saten.”

“… ”

Saten kept her mouth shut.

It was a look full of dissatisfaction.

‘… Still, this kind of reaction is understandable to some extent.’

Saten is a child with an extremely individualistic personality.

I feel comfortable being alone, and I like to move according to my own plans.

If the plan breaks down and changes, it becomes stressful.

‘Perhaps tomorrow’s plans were made in advance, so he didn’t want to be disturbed.’

I don’t know the emotions that permeated it.

I could understand to some extent why Saten was dissatisfied.

I got down on my knees and said, at eye level with Saten.

“Saten.”

“… yes.”

“Don’t look away. Look directly into my eyes, Saten.”

“yes.”

Saten looked at me with unfeeling black eyes.

And, the sprout that had bloomed in it could not be hidden.

Saten, obviously.

was pissed off at me

“Saten, are you mad that I didn’t listen to you?”

“What do you mean, mister? You said I don’t have feelings. I was never angry.”

“It’s not that there isn’t anything at all, it’s that the door is closed and you don’t notice it yourself. That’s why I’m letting you practice facial expressions and showing you the types of emotions.”

someday you’ll realize

’cause I can’t die

“It is not at all. You said you could find it again, but you didn’t say that. Don’t use anything without emotions as a shield.”

“… yes.”

If Saten does not fully realize her emotions, the moment when all curiosity is satisfied.

will kill themselves

Because you lose your purpose and have no reason to live.

to give you that direction.

Saten needed to get out of the dark and dark room first.

“I am forcibly taking you away for your future, Saten.”

“… For me, wouldn’t it be better to just leave it as I want it to?”

“It will be like this at this moment. However, if you think about it later, it will be different. Even if you don’t realize it now… ”

someday.

The day will come when you will realize this.

“… ?”

Saten tilted her head as if she didn’t understand my voice.

exactly.

It seemed like a difficult word for Saten now.

“In time, you will understand. That’s all you know.”

“Oh! Uncle, you’re talking like an idiot right now!”

“… Noisy, Luna. Bring your luggage.”

I’ll pack my stuff quickly.

intervene or

I thought Saten would understand, and I got my knees up again.

I have to go to bed early to leave early tomorrow.

You should start preparing quickly.

“So, Saten. You too go with us. Did you understand enough?”

“… I don’t know, but I understand that you have no intention of giving up on me.”

“That is enough. You too, get ready.”

“Yes, mister.”

Saten returned to her room with a blunt tone.

You won’t need help, as you will be well prepared.

so…

“Heuk-heuk, my holy water… Give me my holy water quickly… ”

“It’s noisy, Estiya. Go to your room and get ready, I’ll help you.”

“Seongsu… give me… Sobbing… ”

“Don’t pretend to cry, it’s too awkward.”

“Sheesh.”

All I need to do is help that weak-eyed saint.

Leading Estiya, who even plays tears to get holy water.

I started preparing for the picnic in earnest.

***

Early moning.

The children who got up early for a picnic were out in the hall eating simple bread.

The bag was full of luggage for a picnic, and it was evident that he was excited with anticipation.

“where! Where are you going? I want to see the sea!”

“Bar, sea… ? What is the sea… ?”

“Land with a lot of water! I said it was very deep! I’ve only seen it in books, so I don’t know… Anyway, that’s it!”

Luna and Hare were chatting and talking about their travel destinations.

‘The sea… ‘

The sea isn’t good either.

Even better if you’ve never seen them before.

However, since there was a Grimore gang in that tourist spot, I don’t know if it will be later.

I couldn’t go now.

I stroked Luna and Hare’s hair.

“If you want to see the sea, go with yourself later. It’s a pity today, but it’s not the sea.”

“Ugh… ! Don’t touch your head! Not that little girl!”

“I’m fine, sir… ! You can do more… !”

“If you don’t like it, I won’t do it.”

If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do.

I lifted my hands from Luna’s head.

“to… ? This is not this!?”

Luna gave a disappointed expression.

by the way.

Did everyone pack their luggage properly?

Are there any leftovers or useless items?

Stop stroking Hare’s hair.

I said to the children.

“I will check to see if I have left anything behind. Everyone, put your bags down on the floor.”

“Hmm, is it a bag check?”

“Please call it confirmation rather than inspection. If you don’t want it, I won’t test it.”

It’s not a retreat where children hide alcohol, and there’s no need to inspect the bag.

You can refuse if you don’t want it.

I said raise your hand if you don’t want your bag checked.

No one raised a hand until the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seconds.

However, when 5 seconds have passed.

One raised a hand toward the sky.

“I, I… ! I think you’ll be fine without checking… ! I-I checked everything… !!”

flash-

Hare raises her hand and shouts.

She had a somewhat uneasy look on her face.

‘What the hell was in the bag, why are you refusing to confirm it?’

Judging by the expression…

It seems to me something that should never be found out…

Maybe it’s the ‘that’ I saw in the room the other day?

I lightly asked Hare.

“Is it okay if I don’t check? Anything missing?”

“B, yes… ! I checked everything… ! It’s okay, it’s okay… !!”

“… No need to be surprised, Hare.”

okay.

Things like that happen, too.

Hare’s face was so red that it resembled a tomato before it exploded.

If I pursued it any further, it would explode with a pop.

I decided to hold back.

“Then, let’s check all of your bags except for Hare.”

The first person to check is Luna.

“I’m smart, so I took everything! You don’t have to check!”

Looking at Luna’s confident expression.

I opened Luna’s small bag.

“Clothes, socks, toothbrushes… It looks like you’ve got everything you need to bring. And the wooden sword on the back.”

“You said it! Black is my friend! ? Anyway! I told you to stick together!”

“Yes, you are listening to me. Good job.”

“Ta, it’s not like I heard you say that at all! Just in case you don’t know… ! I got it… !”

Long excuses.

Anyway, there was no problem with Luna’s bag.

I brought all the important things, and I also brought extra clothes for work.

But one thing.

Something important was missing.

“… Luna, just in case I ask. Where are your underwear?”

“Oh right.”

“Here is the bag. Go to your room and put it in.”

“Yeah.”

If I hadn’t checked, I’d be in big trouble.

I almost put my underwear in Hare’s bag on Luna.

Once Luna’s turn is over, it’s Estiya and Saten’s turn.

“Something missing in my bag! Just add holy water and you’re done! Add holy water right now, brother!”

“Estee, I took care of you yesterday, so there’s no need to check.”

“Oh no! Did you run out of holy water?! brother! Can’t you hear me!?”

Estiya’s confirmation is over.

So, automatically, only saten will remain.

I approached Saten’s bag.

It was a bag that seemed light even at first glance.

“Saten, take care… ”

“I got everything. I took only what I needed efficiently.”

Is that really true?

To see if Saten’s words were true, I opened the door of the bag.

The inside was all covered in black clothes, and if there was anything unusual…

“Nyaang?”

“Looks like you took care of the little cat.”

“… Originally, I was going to leave it, but it kept coming into my bag. I had no choice but to take it.”

Saten was looking at the black cat with a disgusted expression.

But, if you really hated it, you wouldn’t even think about putting it in your bag.

Saten was clumsy in expressing herself, but it was clear that she liked her deep inside.

“Still, there’s nothing wrong with everyone’s bags. Except for Hare, who didn’t check.”

“I, there is nothing wrong with my bag, man… !”

“Hmm, then maybe I can check it?”

“Ah, ah… that, that… Oh no… ! than that… ! Ah, uncle… ! Where are we going today… !?”

Hare quickly turned around and asked about the destination.

‘Come to think of it, I never said that.’

where do you go on a picnic

Because I didn’t explain.

You’d better inform the Brave Party.

today.

The place where the Hero party goes on a picnic is…

“It is a high and deep mountain.”

“yes… ?”

Mountain climbing.

The purpose of this picnic for the warriors party is exactly that.

It was a mountain climbing that could refine the body and mind.
