Amusement Park

,Hiyat!’

With a powerful shout, not befitting a young girl, Arang used magic, pointing her staff at the monster in front of her.

Jet-black fire emerged from the staff and incinerated the monster. The monster, which seemed like it would never die, turned into particles and vanished as soon as it was hit by Arang’s magic attack.

Arang wore a satisfied expression and regenerated her left arm.

When playing solo, the black magician job isn’t particularly good. Every time I use magic, my health decreases, so I have the hassle of having to drink health potions every time I use magic while dodging the monster’s attacks.

But right now, Arang is adventuring with Marang-i. Since Marang-i reliably draws aggro, Arang could comfortably adventure as a black magician.

,Good, good. Haeueum…’

After easily catching the monster, I was about to go on another adventure, but my body trembled and a yawn escaped my mouth.

,I’m already sleepy. Am I tired?’

Arang says it without a care, but it’s a time when anyone would be sleepy.

The clock in the 1 o’clock direction of the field of vision, which shows the LEORE time and the real time, already passed 1 a.m.

In the past, Arang wouldn’t have cared about playing LEORE even at 1 a.m., but after starting school and getting regular sleep, her body needed sleep as soon as the day passed.

,Kkeueung…’

,Mom. Let’s go to sleep. If you don’t sleep for a long time, it’s not good for your body. You won’t grow taller! Plus, you’re going on a trip from school tomorrow!’

,That’s true. And I’m sorry, but my body’s growth has already stopped… I should go to sleep first. See you tomorrow, Marang-a. As you know, I’ll be coming home late tomorrow.’

,Yes! Have fun!’

Arang lowered her index finger and pressed the logout button in the menu that appeared.

,……………..’

,Ah, Arang-a….’

,Arang-a, don’t worry! There will definitely be something possible! Let’s go there!’

,Y-yeah, Arang-a. There must be something we can all do together! Huh?’

,Arang-a, don’t give up! Surely-‘

,Everyone, just go without me…’

,Arang-a, no! We’re friends! Huh?’

,I’m going to go eat something with Na-gyeong. So don’t worry about me and have fun.’

,No! We need Arang-i!’

Arang, Na-gyeong, Chan-mi, Hye-won, So-jin. The so-called middle school girl party members were all talking together.

Arang was sitting in a chair, more frustrated than ever, and told the kids to go without her, but everyone shouted that they absolutely didn’t want to.

But Arang was even more heartbroken that they couldn’t do anything here because of her.

,Please… just have fun… I’m really okay. It hurts me more that you guys can’t enjoy yourselves… so have fun. Huh…?’

Arang said to them with desperate words, and everyone hesitated before finally saying sorry to Arang and leaving her side.

,Na-gyeong Unnie, I’m sorry. You should play a little too…’

,Being with you right now is playing for me.’

,Aigoo… the world…’

Arang looked at the sky and sighed.

Today is the field trip day for the third grade of Seoul Asan Middle School.

We came to an amusement park for a field trip. Lotte World and Everland, which existed when Arang was a man, have disappeared and we are at an amusement park with a new name.

This amusement park is currently the largest amusement park in Korea and is also a field trip destination for many schools.

Arang was looking forward to it. How many fun rides would there be in this era’s amusement park? A very big problem arose for Arang, who arrived at the amusement park with high expectations.

The current era is an era where the average height of all people has increased a lot.

From middle school students, even the shortest girls are over 160 cm as a base, and tall middle school girls are even 170 cm, and men are basically 170 cm and tall male students are over 180 cm.

This is the height of a middle school student.

Elementary school students are also much taller than in the past.

Then, of course, the amusement park has changed a lot to suit that era. But Arang is different.

Arang had been in a vegetative state for a long time due to illness and had been living in a hospital room.

Arang’s body, of course, did not grow during her growth period, and eventually ended up growing to a height of less than 140 cm.

At first, Arang didn’t think much about it.

She thought that the height limit for amusement park rides in her era was around 130 cm on average, so she would naturally be able to enjoy herself without any problems when she came to the amusement park.

But that was not the case at all.

Most of the rides in the amusement park had a height limit of a whopping 150 cm.

Arang rubbed her eyes and looked again after seeing the height limit for the first time. But it didn’t change.

The middle school girl party members also didn’t think about the height limit, and after confirming that Arang-i couldn’t enjoy the rides with them, they said it was okay and tried to ride other rides with Arang-i.

The only rides that Arang-i could ride were rides that were enjoyable for 10-year-olds. Rides that lower grade elementary school students enjoy.

No matter how much Arang-i likes rides, her inner spirit is that of a man in his 30s.

,If I came to the amusement park and the kids can’t enjoy themselves because of me, I’ll feel so sorry… The rides really look fun, even to me.’

The field trip day is a really important day for students. Not being able to enjoy those fun-looking rides because of me on such a day? That’s the worst.

,I didn’t think… the height limit would be so high…’

I knew that the average height in this era was very tall, but I didn’t think that the height limit for rides would also increase…

And now that I think about it, even if I wasn’t subject to the height limit in the first place, would I be able to enjoy the rides? I don’t think so at all.

,I don’t think I’d be able to ride safely in the first place because of my prosthetic arm and leg.’

The prosthetic arm and leg are not attached like some kind of adhesive. They can also fall off if they are subjected to strong impact.

So you shouldn’t do strenuous exercise with a prosthetic arm and leg.

But ride a ride?

Usually, the more dangerous the ride, the more the safety bar comes down from above, allowing you to take your arms out and fix your shoulders to prevent you from leaning forward.

,If I ride it, my prosthetic arm will probably fly off and my upper body will go forward between the safety bars and I’ll hit my head. Aigoo…’

In the end, even if I were tall, it would be too dangerous to ride rides with a prosthetic arm and leg.

In other words, the only rides that Arang-i can ride in the amusement park are rides for lower grade elementary school students.

,Arang-a, but there are attractions here that you can enjoy without a height limit, so let’s go ride them.’

,Yeah. I know…’

==

,It’s more fun than I thought…?’

I just thought it was for lower grades, but it’s more fun than I thought.

I wonder if it feels fun because of the influence of Arang’s spirit.

,No. It’s just fun.’

I forgot that there is virtual reality and augmented reality in this era. I play virtual reality games for 8 hours a day, so I didn’t think there would be this kind of technology in amusement parks.

Usually, in the past, you would just ride something that slowly moves through a place decorated with well-made models, but now you receive and wear something similar to 3D glasses.

That’s an augmented reality glasses. Wearing that and moving slowly with moderate movement made it feel similar to a virtual world.

The concept of the attraction I’m riding now is an ancient ruin exploration, but there were no boring parts and the augmented reality graphics were indistinguishable from reality, and the glasses weren’t particularly uncomfortable, so I had a lot of fun watching it.

I’m a little annoyed, but I even thought I wanted to ride it again after it was over.

,Looks like you had fun?’

Na-gyeong Unnie saw that I was having fun and stroked my head.

,What’s wrong with liking it! I have the spirit of a 30-year-old man and the spirit of a 10-year-old Arang…!’

My heart, which had been gloomy because I thought I could only ride boring things until I rode this, started to flutter.

I was feeling gloomy by myself thinking about the rides of the past, but now it’s a completely different future era than then.

Thinking about it, even these lower grade rides are so fun… I wonder how fun the rides that tall people use are…

Haa…

Suddenly I became depressed again.

Emotional ups and downs…

,Ah, this is it… I guess it’s slowly trying to come. I should go ride all the rides I can ride before my condition gets worse.’

I unfolded the amusement park guide.

,I recommend this and this.’

Na-gyeong Unnie pointed to a few rides on the map with her finger and said, and I immediately got up and grabbed Na-gyeong Unnie’s hand to go.

,Na-gyeong Unnie is really pretty too. It’s a little sad about her chest, though.’

,Excuse me, I’m sorry, but can I get your LinStar ID?’

While I was walking to the ride I was going to ride with Na-gyeong Unnie, I passed a group of male students, and a male student in that group approached Na-gyeong Unnie and asked for her LinStar ID.

,I’m sorry. I don’t use LinStar.’

,Hey, who doesn’t use LinStar these days? Oh, and I’m a senior in high school, so I’ll drop the honorifics. I really want to ask because you’re so pretty. You know you’re pretty too, right?’

Her sharp eyes, black straight hair that came down to her shoulders, and perfect slender figure honed through long exercise were admirable even to me, so how beautiful would she look to men? I understand.

But to hit on someone in this amusement park while wearing school uniforms.

Na-gyeong Unnie received many confessions even at school.

Her maturity and healthy figure that didn’t seem like a middle school student, and her sharp appearance like a gumiho, couldn’t help but be popular with middle school boys.

She was good at studying, good at sports, and her appearance and figure were outstanding, so there were many male students who confessed to her. Not only 3rd graders, but also 1st and 2nd graders.

But Na-gyeong Unnie’s real age is in her mid-20s, so to Na-gyeong Unnie, they’re just little kids.
