I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 172
Summer is full of troubles (4) Illustration
When it comes to dating courses in the royal capital, there are several representative places, but among them, Beit Royal Park, located near the royal capital, is considered a must-visit attraction for all citizens of the kingdom.
It all started because the trees and flowers that sheltered the persecuted believers in the early days of the kingdom by digging underground caves and hiding in them were transformed into a great garden.
From the denomination’s perspective, it is historical evidence of their faith, and for the kingdom’s citizens, it is a meaningful place with a double meaning, with a blooming garden providing a refreshing walking path.
With such a story, Bate Park, which was later developed into a royal park, may have changed a lot from the past, but this is an adult’s situation.
The Royal Park is a tourist attraction in the royal capital. This is also the place where Hwaran went out with Corin and chose it as the main course of their date.
“Uh…”
The ticket booth right in front of the park where admission fees are collected. The black-haired girl had been restlessly moving around the same spot since before.
“fury. “Honestly, I’m crazy.”
“Ugh…”
Hwa couldn’t refute the point made by the sisters who shared the same body. That means the girl is nervous.
“Will… come?”
“There’s no way I wouldn’t.”
“But…”
What if Corin hates him? Even if you don’t like it, what if you think it’s not someone you can date?
When I think about it now, I regret it. Why did they do that? Why did you say that?
Corin seemed a little taken aback by my sudden date request, but quickly accepted.
“good. “I want to go, are you there?”
After that, everything went smoothly. Corinne took the day and the girls returned to the hotel Marie had booked.
If it’s fortunate, is it fortunate? Alicia and Marie don’t even notice that they are dating Corinne.
So on the day of the date. Hwa’s attire is noticeably different from the usual dull attire of a nun.
If you’re going on a date, you need to wear pretty clothes. A phrase confirmed from Josephine’s romance novel.
After finding gold coins in the Zeon Church’s gold coin storage, the two went to a clothing store.
First of all, this is not my first time buying clothes. Sometimes he saw Estelle taking him to a clothing store and throwing gold coins at him.
But this is my first time going to a clothing store alone. She blindly bought clothes that the clerk said were pretty, but…
“This. This… It’s too revealing.”
“…Everyone does this at least here.”
Hwaran’s outfit is an open-shoulder dress that exposes her shoulders. This country’s standards for exposure are excessively liberal, but for two people from the East, their skin turns red when exposed to the wind.
“Marie and… Alisha also wear normal clothes. “Isn’t this… normal?”
“Everyone is… out of their minds.”
Let alone exposing the navel or thighs, women in this country act as if it is a characteristic of a lady to show at least one part of her upper or side breasts!
“But… you’re pretty.”
“…Pretty?”
“huh. “You look really pretty now.”
“Do you think so too, Corinth?
” “It was like that in Professor Josephine’s romance novel. They say that men are dogs in heat all year round, so if you expose a little bit of skin, they go crazy.” “
What is heat? ” ?”
“In the next scene, they were holding hands in bed. Isn’t this a ritual step to call a stork? But why did the word dog come out?” ”
……Did a dog need to be there for the stork to come?” ”
Uh… “So, even though we’ve been holding hands and sleeping, the stork hasn’t come…”
How could this be? It wasn’t just because the stork’s habitat was far away. After
realizing the shocking truth, the sisters even had a stream of consciousness to save the dog. “… It
‘s still early for the stork.”
“But think about it. Imagine a stork carrying a baby that looks like you and us. How handsome and pretty will it be?” ”
…It’s not us. .”
“It’s like that again.”
It’s Ran who likes Corin, after all. Hwa emphasized that defense mechanism again. This is just for confirmation. It’s a date to convince herself that she never likes Corin. “I’m sorry
. It’s late. Oh, you bought new clothes?”
“Uh, uh…”
Hwa swallows her saliva at Corin, who arrived 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled date time.
Hwa is also clearly nervous about showing off her civilian clothes for the first time.
What does Corin say? Should I say it? Should I say it’s pretty? Should I say it suits it? If I say it’s not that good, it would be very hurtful.
“It’s pretty. You’re always pretty, but seeing you dressed up today looks different. You should have dressed like this a long time ago.”
“Really?”
A great answer for a man on a date. Hwa played with his short hair and made a shy expression.
“Next time we get a chance, let’s go shopping for clothes together. “You’ll look pretty no matter what you wear, but I’ll buy you clothes and accessories, too.”
“Ugh…”
Corin grabbed Hwa’s hand, who was shy. Hwa was startled by that sudden action, but her surprise didn’t end there.
Hwa . Corinne kissed the back of her hand. He did as he was taught.
“Shall we go, Lady? I’ll be happy to escort you.”
“Uh, uh… Ugh…” Hwa,
who couldn’t shake off or push away the outstretched hand, suddenly grabbed Corin’s hand and entered the park.
The inside of the park is a famous spot on the royal road . As it is, it is crowded with people.
“There are a lot of people. “Don’t you hate it?”
“It’s okay… ah.”
Hwa, who hates crowded places, leaned into his arms like a kitten snuggling in its mother’s arms.
Palms and palms clasped together. The heat that naturally extends to the arms of the arms and is transmitted from the skin in close contact. Without even noticing that even the hair below my ears was getting hot.
“It smells good.” This is why everyone should check out the Royal Park.”
“Ugh….”
“This place is famous for the Pigeon Cave. Because it was originally a place where a refuge cave was built underground. “I heard it’s the best way to see it from there, so let’s go there first.”
“Uh…”
We arrived at the Pigeon Cave along a road that was hidden in the past, but now has friendly signs posted leading to the inside. It is a place for
persecuted believers . As you go down the stone stairs leading to the living quarters, a spacious cave dwelling appears. The
cave is noticeably dark, even though expensive magic lights have been installed everywhere. The two people naturally walk together as if they are close to each other and dependent on each other. Inside the
dark cave they are walking through. There are round grooves of the same size all over the wall.
“Look here. I guess this is the dovecote where the pigeons were kept.”
“Uh-uh…”
She was now heading towards Corin’s forearm, where all her nerves were connected.
Her heart, which was usually pounding, was making a roar in the quiet cave.
‘Can you hear me? ?Can’t you hear it?’
“Oh, I won’t be able to hear it.” Hwa-ran
wasn’t sure and just hoped that the person next to her wouldn’t hear her heartbeat. She was just… drunk at this moment.
* * * *
Hwa-ran didn’t seem to be in a very good condition.
Throughout the cave exploration, instead of looking around, he held my arm tightly and kept his head down.
‘Do you hate dark places?’
If I had any claustrophobia, it would be my big mistake.
“I think I’ve seen almost everything… shall we go up?” “
…….”
He just nodded and shook his head up and down at my words. The best part of the Royal Park is the mats. I sit down and eat the food and smell the flowers.
I take a seat and spread out the mat. It’s a bit of an odd time to have lunch, but let’s call it breakfast.
“…….”
I sit down on the mat and lay out the food I brought. In fact. I eat kimbap for outings, but since there is no kimbap here, I just packed it with a sandwich. I have
been to the Royal Park once before, but it is a very mysterious place.
Tulips fill the large hills. Tulips of various colors select their own areas and show off their colors. It reminds me of a well-maintained tulip farm in the Netherlands. A
painter munches on a sandwich against a beautiful background that is pleasing to the eyes and nose. The sight is so…
“Cute.”
“Uh…”
I recognized the words that came out inadvertently. Huh. He looks at me with a downcast gaze, wondering what is so embarrassing.
“…Me?”
“Of course. Cute and pretty. My eyes are all bright.”
“Uh….”
My earlobes are flushed and a blush is slowly spreading across both cheeks. What I’m saying right now is completely sincere.
“Of course. I heard that you are the prettiest and cutest today.”
The pupils suddenly get bigger. It makes you wonder how Hwa’s eyes can get that big.
“That… you’re so cool too…”
“Huh? I can’t hear you?”
“……It’s enough for me to look at.”
“Ah… not that good? I worked hard to prepare…”
As soon as I lowered my head in despondency, Hwa immediately started fidgeting. That reaction was really cute and funny.
“No, that… that…”
” “It’s just a joke.”
“Ugh…!”
When I raised the corner of my mouth playfully, he realized that I had been tricked and his anger heated up. The retaliation was strong.
-Ugh!
“Ugh…!”
He said he was hitting me gently. Even though I got hit, my shoulder hurts like it was crushed. I did something to get hit, but if I make fun of you again, my regenerative power won’t be able to keep up. “I won’t apologize…” ”
Hehe,
I’m sorry.”
After lunch, we looked around the park. “Look at this .
The rose is golden. “This must have been made with magic, right?”
“Would you like to buy some souvenirs? How about a hairpin? The equipment is fine, but I think a red tulip hairpin would be good.”
“Oh, they’re holding a concert over there? Shall we go after listening?”
“…….”
It seems that I was the one who was excited about flower viewing for the first time in a long time. Because whenever I looked back while looking at the various flowers and souvenirs, our eyes kept meeting. Well, I don’t know if it was Ran, but I was angry
. You might not be interested in seeing flowers. Maybe I chose the wrong location. We had an
early dinner at a restaurant in the park, and before we knew it, the night sky was filled with starlight.
There are good spots for stargazing around here, but the response so far is I don’t think I’ll get a good reaction if I see it.
“Shall we go back soon?”
“…………No.”
came the unexpected answer.
* * * *
In the end, we went to a cave that was good for stargazing. I walked all the way.
To be exact, it wasn’t the Royal Park, but the end of the park. In the distance, connected to the western plain toward the horizon, there were bell-shaped caves scattered. In the game, it only appears as a background and there
is no interaction. In reality, there are many, many. It is just one of the caves that has been neglected. Unlike
the caves managed directly by the royal family and turned into tourist attractions, this one has its raw form.
“This is it.”
The entrance is large enough for several people to enter at once. I walked through a dark cave. And before long, I found a corner of light.
“This place?”
Inside a large cave. A ray of light shines through a hole in the ceiling in the middle of it.
This is the only light in this cave. It was a narrow and narrow place. I laid down on the chair where all the light was monopolized.
“I stayed here before for some reason. To be exact, I was living in hiding. This is a famous spot I discovered at that time. “I wanted to show you this while I was here.”
When I suggested that he lie down, he laid his head down next to me on the mat. He didn’t hesitate when I offered him my arm as a pillow like he had done so many times. He comforted us as we lay on the floor
. A cluster of stars was visible from the arched hole of the narrow cave. It was a sea of stars inside the narrow hole, much smaller than it looked from the outside. “……It’s small.” Hwa must have thought the same, and
expressed
his honest impressions.
“It’s narrow. If you look outside, you’ll be able to see a lot more space and more stars.”
“But why?”
“I think about this sometimes. It’s good to see beautiful things with everyone, but sometimes I want to have it all to myself.”
Nature belongs to everyone. I don’t intend to get in the way of this. But is the selfishness of wanting to have good things all to yourself really such a bad thing?
“From the outside Stargazers look up at the vastness of space without even knowing where they are. But right now, we’re only looking at a cluster of stars filled in that narrow hole.” We
are looking exclusively at that cluster of stars.
Stars filled in a small, narrow space that no one can perceive. Only we are looking up.
“Only us…?”
Perhaps because my theory was interesting, I pointed to the beyond and their eyes followed.
“It’s ours.”
“It’s ours…”
It’s an extremely egocentric interpretation, but this is it. The memories were quite memorable from the previous episode as well.
I hope that this moment will remain in Hwa’s memory just as it did for me and become a memory that she will recall at least once.
“…….”
For a while, stars were in her red eyes. . I watched that anger.
The eyes that were immersed in the cluster of stars sparkled like jewels.
When I realized that the stars in the eyes, which were much smaller than the narrow hole in the cave, were so close that my breath could touch them── ”
.. ….Hmm.”
I swallowed a small cough. As if I was looking at my own small work of art, I had her to myself for this moment.
Very briefly. About 3 seconds. The one-sided exchange continued.
“Why?”
My gaze The exchange ended sadly as Hwa’s head turned around as she felt it.
“It’s nothing special.”
As I turned to the sky, avoiding the gaze directed at me, Hwa’s gaze followed.
We looked up at the sky in silence for a while, only looking at our own stars. Fix it.
Silence continued for a long time in the cavity where even the slightest chatter made noise.
