Chapter 131: Ep.131 On the Beach.
Ep.131 On the Beach.
The sound of waves splashing.
A stealthy blue wind
“Haa… This is nice.”
I lay on the sunbed, drank a beverage next to me, and took a deep breath.
Yeah… This is life.
“Da-in, are you going to just lie there?”
“I’ll rest a little and come out. You guys have some fun.”
“Gosh… All right. Come quick, okay?”
“Yeah, all right.”
Looking at Seo-eun’s back running on the sandy beach, I put on sunglasses again.
Phew, this is great.
Yeah, this is life. Drinking a mojito while looking at the sea…
So
Our Ego Stream members came on a trip.
Somewhere east to the beach.
***
“Wow… So this is the ocean…”
“Gosh, you know what the beach is. Why are you so surprised?”
“Ah! Sehee, don’t shoot water at me!”
“You should play when you come to the beach!”
Hmm, so noisy.
I took a sip of the light green mojito and watched the kids play.
Yeah. Everyone likes it because we’re at the beach. It feels more lively than the mountain climbing events that we did regularly before.
As soon as I got better, we ran straight to the sea.
Of course, if I move around too much now, I will bleed again, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t use telekinesis or teleport excessively. In other words, there will be no problem.
Seeing people playing in the water, I stretched my legs on the sunbed again.
“Da-in, would you like one of these?”
“Oh, yes, thank you. Um… Oh, this tastes good.”
“Right? People are lining up, they sell it over there.”
I chewed the sweet and sour chicken that Soobin gave me.
This is delicious.
“I’ll put it here, so let’s eat together.”
“Yeah. I’ll have to buy a few more when the kids come later.”
I said still chewing the chicken.
Soobin and I are currently lying on the sunbeds.
The elders are lying down to take some rest, and the kids are having fun on the beach.
Ha-yul and her brother Cha-yoon are playing with Desik over there, making sand castles. FYI, Desik is wearing an animal costume and playing by Cha-yoon’s side. I thought it would be a problem if a ghost in black armor appeared on the beach, so I came up with a temporary solution.
Seo-eun and Eun-wol are playing in the water. And Choi Sehee. She’s not a kid anymore, so I wonder why she’s doing that. Well, she looks happy, so that’s enough. In fact, her mental age can be similar to theirs.
“…It’s so great that the weather is warm today.”
In the beginning, I never imagined we could go to the beach this season.
I didn’t know there was a place like this.
A beach that is managed and exclusively responsible by someone with the heating superpower. A place that is warm like Southeast Asia.
Of course, the fee is a bit expensive as this person with the heating superpower is as strong as a B-class hero, but it’s not business.
Anyway, I sipped my mojito again like that.
There were quite a few people on the beach beside us. Everyone looks like they’re enjoying their summer vacation.
However, no one seems to notice us, thanks to the powerful derecognition magic that Eun-wol put on us. Even though there is black hair, white hair, orange hair, etc in our team, no one seems to notice.
I confidently brought all the Ego Stream members here. Honestly, there’s no way we’d get caught.
When I was about to drink my mojito again, Soobin, who was lying on the next sunbed and sunbathing with me, suddenly muttered.
“…This is nostalgic, you know.”
“What?”
“When I went to Busan with you and Seo-eun before. We were sitting on the sunbed and Seo-en was running around in the ocean. I suddenly remember that time.”
“Oh… you’re right. And when we went to the hotel, the terrorists suddenly came out and woke everyone up.”
“At that time… I remember you coming forward and referring to yourself as Apple Mango. Pfft.”
“Oh, please… Please forget about it…”
My brain tingles as I recall the dark history.
As I pressed my hand on my forehead as if I was dizzy, Soobin laughed out loud next to me.
“Haha. But that’s still a memory when I think about it now. Back then, I didn’t know people would make such a fuss so much…”
She stared at the beach.
I also leaned my back on the sunbed and looked at the beach with one mojito in one hand.
Our members are laughing and chatting, couples are playing with their children, and people are running around.
…It’s an unimaginable sight from the original work. By this time, everyone’s lives had been ruined, and resorts like this one couldn’t run their business like normal.
Yeah. Come to think of it, this is a scenery I made.
Well… It’s not bad after all.
On top of that, I got to know the person in charge of this beach, who wasn’t even in the original. I think it’s the woman over there with a life jacket, a red hat, and sunglasses, but isn’t she quite strong, since she’s heating this big place? She’ll be worth looking into later.
“Da-in, where should we have dinner later?”
“Let’s grill meat together at the pension later. Barbecue. It’s fun to have this many people.”
“Hehe. That’s nice. Shall we prepare the ingredients?”
“I think Choi Sehee did everything, but… I’ll check it out later.”
I looked back saying so.
A pension facing the beach
That’s the pension we’re planning to stay for 2 nights and 3 days.
FYI, I stuffed everything in there. Guns, masks, and even cameras. I had a bad feeling, so I prepared everything just in case. This has become a habit since the last Monkey Spanner incident at the hotel in Busan. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t think anything will happen this time, but still.
“Da-in! Soobin!” Don’t just lie there, come play with us!”
“Yes, guys! Does it make sense to come all the way here and not get a single splash of water?”
When I was in the middle of my thoughts, I heard a voice calling us. Seo-eun and Sehee are making hand gestures toward us from the front. Eun-wol’s eyes are sparkling.
“Soobin, shall we have some fun now?”
“All right. Fine.”
Soobin smiled as she responded to them, and I also got up.
We were both wearing swimsuits anyway, so we just took off the cardigan on top and headed to the water together.
“I’m coming!”
Ha. It’s been so long since I’ve had a break without anything in mind.
Yeah, I’ve been so busy up until now, I also need a break. People die when they are overworked.
What else would happen on such a happy day?
There can’t be anything if God feels sorry for me.
Just like that, I went into the water.
I’m sure it’s going to be fine.
***
“……Da-in must be playing on that beach by now.”
Lee Seola, who was working, suddenly put down her pen for a while.
She remembered him saying that Ego Stream members went out to play and he talked about it with excitement.
“….”
Egostic. It doesn’t make sense for her to fall for a villain.
It’s a bolt out of the blue for Lee Seol-ah, who tried to bring him to the hero’s side and to her side in the long run.
Even the thought of the other Ego Stream members who showed excessive vigilance against her gives her a headache.
“….Yah.”
Lee Seola was lost in thought as she poured another glass of wine.
Egostic. He certainly showed a slight obsession with Stardus.
And that’s what she was most wary of.
Someday, Haru will learn all Egostic’s secrets, and since Egostic likes Stardus.
If Egostic and Stardus. When the two become a team.
In the meantime, it won’t be easy for Lee Seola to squeeze herself in.
Lee Seola changed her mind on this occasion.
Yeah, it’s the right thing to keep Stardus in check.
However, more dangerous people were holding Da-in without her knowing.
Members of Ego Stream. What if they take Da-in first?
“…I’d rather hand him over to Haru, but that won’t do.”
If the bond between them and Egostic, who was wary of her, becomes stronger, they may convince him to stop staying in touch with Lee Seola.
She can’t let that happen.
Then she’d rather think the other way around.
Whether Da-in is a fan of Stardus or whatever, he thinks she’s special.
If then,
“…….”
They’ll be putting on derecognition devices anyway, Haru will never notice that he’s Egostic. Da-in boasted to her that one of the members could derecognition magic.
Wouldn’t Egostic’s mind gradually lean toward heroes if he sees Stardus he likes in person and becomes closer to her?
Hero Apple Mango. She saw the video and it was adorable.
Yeah, just by coincidence…
The drunk Lee Seola became less rational.
After she made a plan if Egostic knew he would pass out.
She turned on her phone and started calling Haru.
“Hey~ Haru. What are you doing?”
“Nothing’s special. I was wondering if you want to go to the beach with me.”
***
Living room, sofa.
Shin Haru, who was lying on the sofa on her break after a long time, was fiddling with her phone.
But only her fingers were on her phone, and her thoughts had long gone elsewhere.
‘…I’m so certain that it was Egostic.’
She definitely saw someone on the rooftop.
But she feels frustrated because no one has seen him.
“Haa…”
Come to think of it, she’s been thinking about this all day.
…Yes, maybe she’s the weird one to believe he, the villain, showed up at the scene.
…Her head hurts.
As Shin Haru was deep in her thoughts
Her phone began to ring.
“…Seola?”
What could it be?
She answered the phone in wonder.
“Oh, Seola.”
“What beach? You say you want to go tomorrow? You’re telling me there’s a warm place…”
Suddenly, when Lee Seola suggested going to the sea tomorrow, Shin Haru, who would have refused as usual, began to think a little.
Yeah, I’ve been thinking too much about Egostic lately.
It’s okay to go to the beach once and forget all that.
Haru, who had been agonized for a while, replied to Lee Seola.
“Okay. Let’s go, the beach.”
***
“Oh, I should have brought a water gun, I forgot.”
“Oh, Sehee. Are you a kid?”
“What, kid? You know I can’t spray without a water gun. Gosh!”
“Ugh! Why are you spraying it on me, too?”
“…Wait. Hey! Da-in, drop it now! It’s against the law to shoot a water bomb with your ability!”
“Yeah. No one noticed because we’re being covered with derecognition magic.”
“Wait! Surrender, surrender!”
As we were having fun, I suddenly thought of Stardus.
…What would she be doing by now?
Well, for her personality, she’s either at the association or resting at home.
Come to think of it, we won’t see each other again until the next terrorist attack for a while.
I threw a water bomb at Choi Sehee after that thought.
“Oh, hey!”
Oh, this is kind of fun.
