[Chapter 058]

[When the fox rain stops (2)]

The next day and the day after that.

There were no slippers in the shoe cabinet.

Seona went to school today wearing green slippers.

weren’t you there today?

…Yes, bye.

It wasn’t until late in the day that Eun-ha went to school and frowned at Seo-na as she was organizing her bag.

Serena was visibly timid. He tried to smile with his triangular ears folded in half.

I think I’ll have to carry at least a slipper bag from tomorrow.

Serena speaks in a soulless voice.

Eunha sat down and looked around at her classmates.

The children who met their eyes turned their heads in amazement. There were also children who stared at their desks.

The children were speechless.

Since Eunha expressed mana to Ham Chan-wook, the atmosphere in the class was gloomy as if it were covered in dark clouds.

what kind of kid did that?

It’s not even once, it’s already the fourth time.

Someone is bullying Serena.

But Eunha couldn’t figure out who did it.

The children were terrified.

because of yourself

Kids who knew what would happen to them if they messed with Seo-na couldn’t plan something like this.

You say you don’t know who touched the stand or the shoe rack? No one has seen it? I asked the kids in the morning, but no one said they knew.

Eun-ha asked Min-ji, who was sitting in the diagonal seat.

Minji shook her head with a low-pressure face from the morning.

She had wide feet.

Early in the morning, he went around asking his classmates and other children he knew, but he said there was no income.

Hey No Eunha. Maybe this is a good thing? Did you see the face of Seona?

…uh.

Hayang is comforting Seona.

Serena was just smiling. I was forced to pretend to be calm.

But Ears and Tails didn’t lie.

Her half-folded ears and drooping tail spoke for her state of mind.

He’s really…

trying to keep it inside.

Seo-na is a grown-up.

A child who is only 12 years old is trying to capture it like an adult without thinking about venting his emotions like a child.

Anyway, I’m still a kid.

It is not an easy task to capture emotions.

I could only see a child clumsily imitating what an adult could not do properly.

The more angry I got.

I wanted to bring out the emotions that were wriggling in my stomach without hesitation.

I can’t do it according to my feelings…

I had to get angry.

If I ran amok, I could have made the situation worse.

Instead, he looked into the eyes of his classmates.

I intended to find any hostility or malice in their gaze.

…….

The only emotion I felt from the children was fear.

☆

I found a slipper for the captain.

It was lunchtime.

Eunhyuk approached with a dark face.

As soon as the bell rang to end the fourth period, the classmates ran to the student cafeteria.

The only children left in the class were those waiting for a quiet time or those waiting for other classmates.

Where did you find it?

Eun-ha looked sideways at Seo-na, who was sitting in the back seat.

Seo-na didn’t seem to have heard Eun-hyuk’s story.

Just in time, I was conversing with Hayang and organizing my textbooks.

In the 1st grade men’s bathroom. it was in the trash why does it come out of there? The freshman men’s bathroom is closest to the shoe closet. I was looking for slippers, but… it’s a little too much to tell Seona, right?

of course. don’t even talk

Minji cut off Eunhyuk’s hesitation with a single knife.

It wasn’t something that I could tell Seo-Na that I had found slippers.

I couldn’t even show the slippers I had taken out of the bathroom trash can.

…Who is that?

No one answered Eunhyuk’s muttering.

The three of them were convinced that someone had stolen Serena’s slippers with malicious intent.

who? why? for what purpose?

They didn’t say anything, but all three were busy thinking about who did it.

No answer came out.

…I’ll have lunch separately today. why? where are you going Yes, I have a lunch appointment.

What happened after you finished your lunch appointment? who?

There is such a thing.

Eun-ha left the classroom, leaving Min-ji inquiringly behind her.

Instead of heading to the student cafeteria, I found a way to return the milk carton.

Under the stairs, out of sight of people.

Until last year, it was a place where children who used to smoke were gathered.

Of course, it collapsed in front of Eunha.

sorry! Am I a little late?

The person Eunha was waiting for under the stairs was Yu Kim.

The child, who appeared out of nowhere in the dark, fired a camera flash and took a picture of him standing with a stiff face.

Hyung’s face is so cool right now?

The other kids were scared and couldn’t even come close…

It’s because I couldn’t see my brother fighting monsters!

Yuha said skillfully.

Eun-ha sat down on an upside-down milk carton, eating the bread that Yoo-ha said she had bought at the store.

The reason I called is… You don’t have to tell me, you know?

I heard Seo-na and noona’s slippers are gone today too?

went straight to the point.

Since becoming aware of < Invisible >, Yoo Ha has been establishing himself as an informed person in the school to the extent that a 9-year-old is indistinguishable.

There were also some parts that the galaxy added.

Because he introduced the children who followed Lee Kang-hyeok in the past.

The children who were looking for places where people were rare became his eyes and ears.

Did you find out anything?

I’m looking into it too. I’m checking people who come to school early in the morning… but I don’t think anyone has any doubts.

Yu-ha turned over her notebook and told me what she had researched so far.

But clues were lacking.

It was not possible to identify the culprit from the list of students who went to school early in the morning for the last four days.

It was a version where even the witnesses could not find out who stole the slippers.

Tomorrow morning, I’m going to be waiting in front of Seo-na noona’s shoe closet.

I heard that Eunhyuk does it… I think it would be good for you to do it. I will suffer, but I will ask.

It’s Eunha hyung’s request, so of course I have to do it! And I also need to know who is bullying Seona.

Yu-Ha clenched her fists and burned with enthusiasm.

With his gift, he would be able to spot the crime up close.

right. do you know what

that? what is that? There was a strange noise coming from the school.

what sound?

It means that you never know when Ain will become a monster.

what?

Eunha frowned.

It was nonsense.

Nonsense that would normally be laughed off lightly and paid no attention to.

However, the situation was strange.

And the fact that Yuha brought up unfounded rumors meant that public opinion was being created that was difficult to ignore.

It’s the first I’ve heard Since when did it spread?

It’s not like this story didn’t exist. It’s been a story that’s been around since I entered school. It’s just that it hasn’t been publicized until now.

But that’s what’s going public right now. Don’t you have a corner to straw?

My older brother went to a retreat last year. Since then, it seems that the perception that Ain is dangerous has spread among parents.

Yuha looked up and explained.

Eunha hardened her face.

The atmosphere at school has changed considerably since the field trip last year.

The children, who were in the fourth grade at the time, not only suffered trauma about the monsters, but also suffered casualties.

There was no way that the parents’ condemnation did not come out.

Among them, those who had hatred for monsters could have poured out unresolved resentment on Ain.

Ain is no different from a monster.

I can’t have my child in the same classroom as a child who doesn’t know when he will turn into a monster.

And when my brother had a three-way interview.

…….

From then on, it seemed like there was a lot of talk.

The three-way interview took place when the 5th graders were starting to be afraid of themselves.

It was also a time when Minji and Eunhyuk’s position began to weaken.

The timing was exquisite to dismiss it as a coincidence.

As if someone spilled it on purpose.

Do you know who spread it?

Rumors spread, so it was too late for me to notice. I’m looking into it, but I think it will take a while because I have to ask each and every question.

Please check it out.

I couldn’t separate what was happening to Seo-na from the rumors spreading around the school.

Maybe there isn’t just one culprit trying to harass Seo-na.

The theft of slippers could have been just the beginning.

For what purpose?

Then why do they plan to harass Seo-na?

Couldn’t find an answer.

The world he was stepping into was neither the world of politics nor the world of players.

It was elementary school.

What is the reason why children who are only elementary school students are trying to bully them even while racking their brains?

And the people my brother asked me to investigate the other day. I found out that Ham Chan-wook, Yeom Jae-jin, and Jo Yeon-ah are the same….

The bell that ended lunchtime rang.

Eunha brushed the bread crumbs off her pants and stood up.

let’s go back Is the request I asked the other day important?

Um… I’m not sure yet, so I’ll investigate it all at once and tell you later.

please. Instead of investigating them, look out for the guy who stole slippers and the guys who are spreading nonsense.

yes Then I’ll just go!

Kim Yu-ha’s body melted into darkness.

Eun-ha, who felt that the presence was getting farther away, went back to the classroom.

And when I went back to the classroom—

—Everyone take off your shoes, get on top of the desk, and kneel.

Lim Do-hun threatened the children.

☆

It was lunch time.

Seo-na said she was not feeling well and would not eat lunch.

The children couldn’t drag Seo-na by force and went to have lunch by themselves.

Seo-na, whose face had been pale since morning, would answer sincerely when she spoke to her, but when she was still, she would sit sullenly.

Even though Hayang had been by her side all morning, Seona could not find any energy.

Let’s buy some bread to eat!

I hope that!

Choi Eunhyuk, you are saying the right thing for the first time in a while.

As Eunhyuk said, the children went to the store to pick out bread to eat.

It was nearing the end of lunchtime, so the inside of the store was quiet.

The three of us divided the money and calculated.

The children went back to the classroom while talking about each other.

-Because I didn’t do it!

how do you believe that You were the only one left in the class until the end?

As soon as I entered the classroom, the sight I faced was the children gathered around Seo-na raising their voices.

what? what’s the matter?

Why is everyone gathered?

Eunhyuk and Hayang did not understand what had happened.

Minji, who only noticed the atmosphere, broke through the children and got into the circle.

What’s up?

Minji stepped forward in the form of protecting Seo-na, who was taller than herself.

The child Seo-na was arguing with was Jo Yeon-a, the vice president of class 3 in the 5th grade.

He was the center of attention among the girls.

Around Jo Yeon-ah, the children who were friendly with her were huddled together.

Seo-na and Mi-sun stole my wallet. what? I said no!

Minji stretched out her hand to stop Seo-na from moving forward.

I rolled my eyes from side to side to find the sniffling child protected by the girls.

The tear-stained child was holding the wallet with both hands.

tell me in detail what’s going on Serena couldn’t have done that.

Yeah, it couldn’t have been like that in front of you.

But Minji, would you be surprised to hear it too?

While we were returning from lunch, Mi-sun lost her wallet and it came out of the locker. Do you think Seo-Na wouldn’t have stolen it?

I didn’t steal! I don’t even know why I got out of my locker! Why would I steal Miseon’s wallet!

Minji raised her eyebrows when she saw Jo Yeon-ah lifting her chin.

There’s no way Seo-Na stole her wallet.

It was too contrived and obvious.

There were not one or two corners to point out.

But how did you guys know that Mi-sun’s wallet would be in Seo-na’s locker?

how do you know You didn’t eat lunch today, and you stayed in the classroom. I heard that the kids who left the classroom at the end saw that Seo-na was still in the classroom?

that’s right.

i saw i went out last

Jo Yeon-ah asked the other children for their intentions.

The children gathered beside her nodded and testified.

so? Did Seo-na be accused of being a thief because she stayed at the end?

I didn’t drive you as a thief. Actually, Mi-sun’s wallet came out of Seo-na’s locker.

Who came up with the story of going through the locker in the first place? Jo Yeon-ah, even though you’re the vice president, do you even have the right to search the locker?

why? I’m vice president There was a theft in class. And Seona stayed in the classroom until the end.

Then shouldn’t I be searching the books and lockers?

Why is it all about books and lockers? Even if Seo-na had stayed until the end, there wouldn’t have been drawers or bags. How did you think it would have been picked up and placed in a locker?

That’s…

For a moment, Yeonah Jo was speechless.

Minji held on in order not to miss the moment she shrank.

Then someone shouted among the children.

i saw it! I came to class to get a soccer ball after eating, and Seo-na was in front of the locker!

I did it to get the textbook for the 5th period class. And even then, there was no wallet in the locker!

The child who suddenly raised his hand and opened his mouth was Yeom Jae-jin, the president of class 3 in the 5th grade.

Seo-na protested, saying it was a misunderstanding, but Ham Chan-wook and other children accused Seo-na of being the culprit.

Quiet!

Minji screamed loudly to avoid losing to the children who raised their voices.

Minji, whose face was red, glared at Yeom Jaejin and said.

I didn’t even witness it myself, so isn’t it too much to take it as a thief? Even Seona didn’t do it, and someone else might have put the wallet in Seona’s locker!

Are you Minji? Do you think that makes sense? Why do you think your classmates would do that? Isn’t Seo-na taking too much of your friend?

Yeonah Jo grabbed Minji’s pod.

The classmates’ gaze changed.

At first, the children, who thought it was a fun spectacle, showed displeasure when Minji said that they doubted them.

Although she wasn’t the one who brought up the story that the classmates might have.

Even so, all lockers are locked with keys. You think someone else can open books and lockers?

…….

Minji kept her mouth shut.

Each class has its own locker key.

Even so, it does not prevent children from opening other people’s lockers.

Key types are limited.

There are countless lockers on campus that can be unlocked with one key.

It is said that Seona is not the only person who can open a locker.

However, Minji couldn’t bring herself to speak out against the children glaring at her.

If I did, it would be turning all of my classmates into enemies.

Who the hell is going to do that?

Above all, she could not know the true intention of the person who did this until she did so with her common sense.

I didn’t know Seo-na was such a child. I thought you were nice.

He was peeling pumpkin seeds from behind. she’s a fox Didn’t you know that foxes are cunning?

But why did Serena do that?

Why? Jinseo lives at her church. where did he get the money from?

I know. Sometimes he came wearing old clothes…

When he came to his senses, he heard gossip from all over the place.

no! What are you stealing from Seo-na? It’s because you don’t know! When did you see him steal something!?

I didn’t see him stealing… but I saw him flirting with Eunha and you.

Because there is no other fox. Look at Eunhyuk and Hayang. They say it’s not Seo-na even though the evidence is right in front of them.

This is why Ain is… I can understand why my mother told me not to play with Ain.

no! Seo-na is not the kind of girl you think! something is wrong! don’t you think so Who is going to make sure that Seo-na…

Jung Ha-yang, who the hell is doing this to get rid of Seo-na? does that make sense? You can’t tell reality just by looking at the books you’ll meet.

my dad did it Ain lives in a slum. People who live there take stealing for granted. So I told them not to go anywhere near the slums.

I’ve seen Ain Player before, and it looked really scary. Wouldn’t Jinseo and him do the same?

To be honest, Seo-na is a bit… We were close because of you, but didn’t you secretly look down on us?

I’ve never been like that!

that’s right! I did feel a little bit too. While going to the bathroom with Hayang and Minji, they were troubled when I went. make people feel bad Kind of… not really. Seo-na doesn’t want to talk to the other kids. yeah kinda Even if it wasn’t to the extent of looking down on it, he pushed it away.

What’s so good about me…

I guess I thought I was good just because I went out with them. Well, even though I’m a child… My mother said that. Kids like you live without earning enough money.

Honestly… I’m so scared of him. Just looking at the ashes reminds me of what happened at the retreat!

that’s right! you’re kind of scared! Why do you have ears attached to your head? why is the tail attached? Why are the eyes red again?

I… I’m…

Jinseo’s tail reached my arm!

hey! be careful! You might be like him too!

It’s a Jinseo or a virus! Guys, don’t touch Jinseo! You too will become a monster!

…I…not like that…!

watch him cry

annoying really. What makes us bad people?

He’s pretending to cry. Can’t you see the crying fox who was picking pumpkin seeds behind you?

Ding! You now have a virus! If you don’t transfer it to someone else soon, you’ll become a monster!

…I… am… I… am… a monster—.

– A monster.

Someone quietly replied.

Then the children poured out slander in such a large number that it was impossible to tell who said it first.

monster. monster. on the subject of monsters.

monster. you are a monster monster.

scared. oh my god. I hate it now!

monster. help me! monster!

It’s a virus! Get out of here!

Don’t look this way! scared.

The monster is crying! run away!

How do monsters cry? Kiek!?

i wish i died like you
