Theatrical Regression Life

Episode 559 Choi

Min-hong and Jang Seo-ah safely came down to the treasure chest.

“….”

“….”

Probably with the help of a creature that appears to be Jeong Eun-woo.

Instead of the round ears of a human being, thin, pale membranes fluttered down, the pitch-black eyes with no distinction between white and black were not covered as if they had no eyelids, and the neck had gills with blood dripping down, making it look like a monster to anyone’s eyes…

” …fish!”

“oh.”

Minhong Choi briefly summarized his opponent in two words.

Because the summary was too elliptical, Jang Seo-ah, who was busy watching, stopped him. I was afraid that Jung Eun-woo, who had become a monster, would be angry.

“Don’t call it a new fish, brother. “They said it would be rude to call an adult that.”

“Then what do you say?”

“Shouldn’t I call you Uncle Jeong Eun-woo…?”

However, Minhong Choi was not an easy opponent to persuade.

“But no. Uncle Eunwoo Jeong is a human being. “This is a fish.”

“Even if it’s true, it’s polite to spin it around. “That’s how adults like it.”

“okay? “Do adults praise you?”

“As far as I know, it seems like that…”

“Then I’ll call you Uncle Jeong Eun-woo too.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Minhong Choi corrected.

“Mister Jeong Eun-woo!”

The opponent was silent.

“Mister Jeong Eun-woo!”

“Mister, let’s not bother you too much…”

“Did you become a fish too? “Are you a mermaid?”

“Jung Eun-woo isn’t as pretty as a mermaid. “Not even a woman.”

“…You can’t be a mermaid unless you’re a woman…?”

For some reason, Jang Seo-ah shook her head as Choi Min-hong looked at me with a disappointed face.

“Maybe not, but I said that only women can become mermaids in this aquarium. So, Eunwoo Jeong and Minhong oppa can’t be mermaids.”

“But you’re a fish now….”

“I think it’ll feel better for you to say it’s a fish or aquatic creature rather than a fish. And not all fish are the same. “It is true that Jung Eun-woo has now become a monster similar to an aquatic creature, but I don’t think that means he is a mermaid.”

“…Uh….”

Minhong Choi said with a strange frown on his face.

“You talk too hard.”

“I’m sorry…”

“I wasn’t angry…”

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

“…So what should we do now?”

Minhong Choi asked Seoah Jang.

He clearly considered himself Jang Seo-ah’s older brother, but at least he knew and acknowledged that Jang Seo-ah was much smarter than him. In Minhong Choi’s opinion, asking someone smarter than him about his plans did not undermine his brother’s authority.

Jang Seo-ah, who hesitated, answered Choi Min-hong’s question.

“…First of all, shouldn’t Mr. Eunwoo Jeong promise not to harm us…?”

It was a situation where we couldn’t even understand why he, a monster, helped us in the first place.

After receiving the attention of the two kindergarten students, Jeong Eun-woo, who had been looking down at them blankly, slightly tilted his head. It was a gesture as if he was wondering something.

“…hello?”

“…Hello….”

“Hello.”

“hello.”

“hello.”

“….”

Minhong Choi’s face was twisted.

“Why do you keep saying hello?”

“nice to meet you.”

“Not like that.”

“Nice to meet you, friend.”

“No, not like that.”

“How have you been?”

“Oh really…! “I’m going to be angry!”

Jang Seo-ah hugged Choi Min-hong, who was running wild, and calmed his anger.

At first, when she saw Jung Eun-woo repeating the same words like a broken machine, she thought, ‘What on earth is this supposed to do?’ But Seo-ah Jang was soon able to grasp the situation.

“I guess Mr. Eunwoo Jeong’s intelligence is not what it used to be.”

“What are you talking about?”

“To put it more simply, I think Jung Eun-woo became a bit stupid after becoming a monster…”

“Do you have dementia?”

“…maybe similar…?”

In fact, Jung Eun-woo’s appearance was clearly different from dementia, but at first glance, there seemed to be a similarity in that he did not communicate well.

Jang Seo-ah continued speaking, hoping that Jung Eun-woo would not be offended by our explicit conversation.

“Maybe they don’t understand us.”

“But you answered when I said hello. “I understand.”

“That could be possible, but…”

A glance.

Jang Seo-ah, who was watching Jeong Eun-woo, asked.

“…Are you going to hit us, Eunwoo Jeong?”

Surprisingly, Jeong Eun-woo’s answer was quick. He said firmly.

“I do not abuse children.”

“…Then adults are abusive…?”

“…Adult?”

Jeong Eun-woo stuttered, as if his clear answer just before had been a lie. The pronunciation itself was very neat, but the rough and choppy voice gave an odd impression.

Jang Seo-ah explained it in a way that was easier to understand.

“That means… you won’t scold us… or interfere with us… or anything like that?”

“You guys… who are you?”

“….”

“Are you Inho’s friend?”

Ah, it has become clear again.

‘…Are there any conditions for speaking clearly?’

Seo-ah Jang unconsciously thought of Jae-heon Lee at the concert hall. Asking strange questions without context was exactly like him now. Of course, Jeong Eun-woo’s voice was rough and hoarse enough to be difficult to understand….

Anyway, what we could tell was that Jeong Eun-woo, who had become a monster, was as crazy as Lee Jae-heon. Jang Seo-ah decided that way and nodded.

“Yes, I’m Inho’s friend.”

This was because I felt infinite goodwill toward Jung In-ho when I asked the question, ‘Are you In-ho’s friend?’

In fact, the problem was that there was a large age difference, but it was clear that he was close to a person named Jung In-ho, so he was not lying.

Jeong Eun-woo smiled at that.

“okay?”

Between the round, curved lips, I could see teeth crowded together with no room for the tongue.

“Heehee…!”

Jeong Eun-woo’s tongue, which had turned black, was also tattered and dripping with blood, possibly from a wound caused by his teeth. When Jang Seo-ah saw it, she blushed and hid behind Choi Min-hong.

Choi Min-hong spoke confidently, probably because he liked the fact that his younger brother depended on him.

“Don’t bother my little brother!”

“sorry? do.”

“It would be enough if you apologized. “You can’t do that again.”

Choi Min-hong’s words sounded quite arrogant because there was no Lee Jae-heon to correct them one by one, saying, ‘You should use respectful language with adults.’ At least for Jang Seo-ah.

“Wouldn’t that be okay…?”

“? why?”

“You have to be polite to adults.”

“Mr. Eunwoo Jeong is not an adult.”

“…?”

“It’s a fish.”

“…It’s an adult fish.”

When Jang Seo-ah, who had lost the will to correct Choi Min-hong’s words, spoke in his language, Choi Min-hong looked at Jang Seo-ah and Jeong Eun-woo alternately with a very shocked face.

It was as if he could not believe what she said.

“How can this be an adult?”

Jang Seo-ah thought that this was a very ambiguous statement.

‘…There are times when we don’t feel like adults…’

Still, we didn’t want to offend the monster that could kill us at any time.

“I don’t want to get scolded. Mr. Lee Jae-heon also doesn’t like it when he uses informal language with adults.”

“That’s right.”

This time too, Minhong Choi’s positivity was quick.

“sorry!”

The correction was also quick. In many ways, he was a talented person who gave quick feedback.

Fortunately, neither Jeong Eun-woo, who became a monster, nor Jung Eun-woo, who was human in the first place, would be offended by the fact that young friends used informal language…. In any case, even Jeong Eun-woo, a monster, did not seem angry at the two’s remarks.

“are you okay.”

“It’s okay.”

“What… are you going to find? Inho is not home. Are you here to play? Do you want to play?”

“ah…!”

Only then did Minhong Choi, who remembered his original purpose, boldly make a request.

“I’m here to open the treasure chest!”

Seo-Ah Jang was startled by the tone, as if she was saying, ‘I’m here to rob your house,’ and looked at Choi Min-Hong and Jung Eun-Woo in turn, but this time, Jung Eun-Woo didn’t show much of a reaction. He simply accommodated the kindergarten students’ requests.

Eunwoo Jeong said as he walked towards the treasure chest.

“Now this way….”

“….”

“You can come here.”

Jang Seo-ah hesitated at the sound of a damp voice.

‘…is it okay?’

It was only then that Jang Seo-ah began to worry about our situation.

This was a side world, and the side world was full of monsters. A world where people can die at any time. It is an extremely uncomfortable space where it is difficult to eat or drink water.

In a world like that, we wondered whether we could really trust the monster calling us.

“…Yeah….”

“Let’s go Seo-ya.”

“…okay.”

But what can you do?

We’ve already come this far.

“You can open it.”

“….”

Jang Seo-ah hesitated in front of the box that Jeong Eun-woo pointed out. It was something that could not be helped for a normally timid child, but Choi Min-hong must have found it frustrating and stepped forward to touch the top of the box.

and.

“…ah.”

Slurp.

Minhong Choi lost his mind.

After watching the quietly falling body, Jang Seo-ah slowly raised her head while holding on to the hem of her skirt.

“Ah…”

The hand holding the cloth trembled slightly.

“….”

Jung Eun-woo was smiling like before.

“You should open it.”

With that being said.

“….”

“Open.”

was laughing

* * *

None of the kindergarten students could open the box.

Was that consideration?

* * *

When Jeong In-ho and Seo Jang-hwa arrived, the incident had already happened.

“…! “Isn’t that Seo-ah?!”

“This is crazy…!”

The two quickly entered the ‘Sea Treasure Hall’. The kindergarteners were slowly sinking down a narrow hallway filled with water, and it seemed like they were unconscious as their bodies were sagging.

Jeong In-ho and Seo Jang-hwa pulled the two out as quickly as possible and came out into the hallway to urgently check the children’s condition.

“Why is this, this, this….” “

….”

“…Ah, I can’t breathe. “I’m fucking breathing.”

“…I’m glad.”

“Haaaaa….”

The children were giggling for a while because their entire bodies were soaked and water had entered their respiratory tract, but neither of them died. Jeong In-ho and Seo Jang-hwa sighed in relief and patted the backs of the children who were still coughing.

And it wasn’t until 10 minutes later that they realized the problem.

“…Why don’t you wake up?”

The coughing, spitting out water, was so intense that it seemed like they would have opened their eyes even for a moment, but the two kindergarten students showed no signs of regaining consciousness.

I pretended to be a doctor who wasn’t there and opened the children’s eyelids, but their eyeballs didn’t even react slightly.

“I think he probably fainted, but how could he have…”

“Was there something so dangerous in the Sea Treasure Hall?”

“…There’s a treasure chest.”

Seo Jang-hwa frowned at Jeong In-ho’s words.

“…What are you talking about? How did they get in there where the treasure chest is?”

“In the first place, they were falling from above the water. As if someone had dropped the unconscious Seo-ah and Min-hong into a place of water… “Then it means that we succeeded in rising to the surface.”

“Some crazy bastard is drowning unconscious kids. Aside from being a crazy person with a conscience, isn’t there anyone who can physically do that? “I guess there’s no one in the Sea Treasure Hall right now?”

“….”

“Unless Jeong Eun-woo crawled out of the box….”

“….”

“….”

Seo Jang-hwa let out a deep sigh.

“Fuck.”

After swearing briefly, Seo Jang-hwa stood up.

“I’m going back in for a moment and coming out. “I’m not sure if Jung Eun-woo is real, but… Anyway, I’m watching the kids well.”

“Have a safe trip.”

And Seo Jang-hwa didn’t come back until about 10 minutes later.

“Now say hello. “I brought you the Goddess of Justice.”

With Ha Seong-yoon, who was clearly upset.

She had an expression that said, ‘I don’t know why the situation came to this, but I did everything I had to do.’ Ha Seong-yoon, whose feet were bright red, perhaps because he came across ‘Friends by the Stream’, pretended not to see Seo Jang-hwa retreating naturally and scolded In-ho Jeong.

“How could you have messed things up like this, Jeong In-ho?”

“Ha…”

“Are you sighing just now? What are you saying that you did well?”

Jeong In-ho made a bug-bitten expression.

“Yes, welcome.”

It’s nice to see this doctor too.
