To be honest, I thought Ochu was a good name.

Ochuma. That wonderful black horse that Xiang Yu rode.

Yeah, how cool is that? This motorcycle deserved to be named as a famous horse in history.

That’s how much I fell in love with this motorcycle.

It was to the point where I wanted to get on the Ochu and pedal right away.

But I knew I had to hold on for now.

Because I can’t bother people around me just to enjoy it myself.

“The red clay should be repaired. Ah, it feels like driving for a while.”

I stroked Ochu’s body.

It seemed like my face was slightly visible on the shiny body.

Although it is a shame to have to step on the pedal instead of the engine…

Still, it was okay because I knew I had to be satisfied with this much.

But Noh Chang-hoon didn’t seem to be very pleased with me like this.

I said in a mocking tone.

“Why.”

“Ask because you don’t know?”

“Okay, I’m asking because I don’t know. what. Is there a problem?”

Noh Chang-hoon let out a long sigh as if he was frustrated.

Then he put his hand on his forehead as if he couldn’t stop him and pointed at the asphalt.

Only then did I realize what this bastard was talking about.

This time, I guess I’m just trying to tell you to ride safely.

Don’t cause a car accident like what happened last time.

But there was no need to worry about that.

I said triumphantly.

“I don’t care if it’s an accident. I’m going to play it soon anyway, and this time I’ll be wearing protective gear.”

“Shouldn’t you have worn it or worn it a long time ago? And I told you not to think about pushing yourself in first.”

“Ah, ah. It did. I have somewhere to go, so I’ll put this in the stand and go!”

I carefully stored the Ochu in the stand and then ran away in an instant.

Just looking at that guy, it looked like his mouth was itching to nag.

There is no need to be scolded for staying still.

Coincidentally, Gong Goseul called me today.

There was no need to stay.

So, for the first time in a while, I was able to leave the faculty dormitory and walk around the campus.

“Wow.”

It was visible that Kang Si-woo’s efforts were not in vain.

The campus looked almost the same as before the incident, except that non-students were passing by.

The sight of various people coming and going between buildings and going to work.

It seemed like a lot of progress had been made while I was resting.

I kept looking around to see how the campus had changed.

And finding my contribution in that change was more fun than I thought.

“That’s a fruit.”

The vacant lot where dirt and zombie corpses had previously been placed was now full of fruits.

I was busy for a while and didn’t pay any attention, but the plant seemed to be growing well.

With a fruit of that size, there is at least no lack of vitamins or anything like that.

It’s amazing that fruit can be borne even in winter like this, but…

With the zombie apocalypse breaking out, it seemed pointless to discuss it.

So, after looking around the fields for a while, I went outside the campus.

And because he couldn’t even walk a few steps, he was caught by the guards.

Although they said they had been captured, it was closer to the fact that they recognized me from the other side.

“Yeji Lee! long time no see. I heard it was a vacation.”

“Ah, it’s over. Come back again.”

“But where are you going without a weapon?”

“Let’s meet Gong Ye-seul. It’s nearby, so I don’t think you need to worry.”

“Ah, I see. Have a nice day!”

The guard waved his hand.

I waved at them and then looked towards the food alley for a moment.

The food alley has changed to the point where it can no longer be called a food alley.

As more people gathered, restaurants were transformed into lodgings.

Of course, some buildings still seemed to be used as restaurants.

But now it would be better to call it an accommodation alley.

“Wow, it really has changed a lot.”

I took a step forward.

It seemed like the sightseeing would have to end here.

It was because more people around me were recognizing me.

It was a strange feeling that was both pleasant and embarrassing, so I hurriedly walked away.

Fortunately, after walking down the street for a while, I didn’t feel any stares.

And as I walked a little further, I realized one thing.

I guess it might be near the campus.

People who live or live in other places didn’t seem to know me very well.

It’s not that people don’t pass by here, but it didn’t feel like they were staring at me.

It was closer to the feeling of being stared at because she was pretty.

Well, it was a good thing for me.

It was because it was easier not to be distracted while talking to someone I knew, rather than to be distracted.

And because Gong Goseul wasn’t a very close person to me, I couldn’t talk to him comfortably.

It would be better if I could speak very comfortably.

“Maybe it’s over there?”

Since it only said Geumgang Hardware Store, I couldn’t tell if that was where Gong Seul worked or not.

And it seemed very far from the blacksmith I had imagined.

The blacksmith shop I thought of was several times smaller than this.

Also, I thought the sign would say blacksmith shop.

“You got scolded… ”

However, it was clearly said to be about a few kilometers away, and if the direction given by Gong Gong-seul was correct, this place was correct.

In the end, after thinking for a while, I walked to the hardware store.

The idea was to walk first and then think.

I couldn’t even figure out where the entrance was to this huge warehouse-like building.

Fortunately, it seemed like it had arrived properly.

Gong Gong-seul’s father, whose face I had seen before, stuck out his head and held a hammer.

Perhaps because they thought I was an uninvited guest, I also saw a red-hot poker.

To be honest, I was scared, but Gong Gong-seul’s father didn’t wave it.

All he did was stick the hammer into the front pocket of his overalls and shake the bell a few times.

I slowly bowed my head and entered the hardware store.

Inside the hardware store, there were several rooms that appeared to be living quarters or a reception room, and several machines set up in a large open space.

People probably slept in the dormitory and worked in the vacant lot.

Even now, people can be seen working in the vacant lot.

I followed Gong Gong-seul’s father into the living room.

Not long after, Gong Gong-seul came in smiling as if he was happy to see me.

“It’s been a while. I heard you were on vacation, did it end today?”

“Ah, yes. That’s the way it is. Well, I’m sorry I couldn’t come find you. I didn’t know the accommodation was here, haha… ”

“It’s okay. It seemed like you didn’t care about that and were very busy. Could you please wait a moment?”

“Yes? yes. I understand.”

Gong Gong-seul hurriedly went inside.

I could roughly guess what she was going to do.

A pink ribbon was fluttering, sticking out of the back pocket of my work clothes.

It seemed like they were planning to package a newly made weapon and give it as a gift.

I decided to wait.

To be honest, I wanted to walk around inside and take a closer look…

It didn’t seem like it was polite to Gong Gong-seul.

Anyway, there was a lot to see in the living room.

These are all kinds of iron toys and small statues that appear to have been made by the owner of a hardware store.

“This person seems to be good at making knives.”

The pamphlet to promote the hardware store also included pictures of various knives.

There was also something called Dismarkers or something, so it was quite interesting.

Then I realized one thing.

“… Hayoung Kim?”

The name of the representative of this hardware store was Hayoung Kim.

And Kim Ha-young was a pseudonym used by Gong Gong-seul.

I looked around for a while for clues.

Fortunately, there were many clues left and they were well maintained.

First of all, the person named Kim Ha-young was a man.

Just looking at the name, she seemed like a girl, but this was a bit surprising.

And it seemed like he was someone whom Gong Goseul respected very much.

I could roughly figure it out by looking at the writing on the frame.

It was a photo taken of two people, Gong Ki-seul and Kim Ha-young, and it had the words, “With my beloved student Yeseul,” written on it.

And above all, it felt alive.

Looking at the writing in the notebook, it seemed like he had been processing various orders requested by Kang Si-woo until recently.

When it came to things like electricity and fuel, it seemed like they were getting help from the military.

“Oh… ”

Above all, this person seemed to be using Ohma as a weapon.

This was because under Kang Si-woo’s order, it was written that he would repair my ohama.

But the sighting ended here. I took a moment to properly organize the items I had seen.

And sat up straight as if nothing had happened.

“It’s a little late.”

Gong Gong-seul appeared as if he was waiting for me to sit up straight.

I tried to maintain a normal expression and looked at her with her back to me.

Gong Gong-seul smiled for a moment, then put down the object behind his back.

I opened my mouth blankly.

“This, this… !”

“This is a repaired baton. Hair growth bat. You know? Since it is made a little more sturdy, you will be able to use it without any burden.”

“MK.2… !”

“Ah.”

Gong Gong Seul’s face turned pale.

Perhaps because they were wrapping the baton with a ribbon, they didn’t notice the writing written on the handle as a joke.

But I didn’t care. Rather, it felt a bit cooler and more amazing.

I slowly held the baton and then spoke to Gong Gong-seul.

“Can’t this be engraved with the words MK.2?”

“Yes?”

Gong Goseul seemed really surprised.

I don’t know what surprised me, but whatever.

I looked at the baton MK.2 blankly for a moment.

Since I can’t call it that every time, I’ll just call it the baton, but whatever.

Still, when I heard it was MK.2, I felt like it got a little stronger.
