522 – Scary Game

522 – Scary Game

I chased after the cola that had flown into the swimming pool with the children.

The cola seemed to fall into the middle of the pool, but soon it began to spread throughout the entire pool.

“Kyaa!”

Marin, who was relaxing in the pool, screamed.

It was no wonder she was surprised, as the black water was even bubbling with carbonation.

The only fortunate thing was that there were no children in the swimming pool playground.

To ensure the safety of the children and to protect Marin’s rest time, entry to the playground was prohibited after a certain time.

“Bo, Bomi! Big trouble! Suddenly the swimming pool…!”

Marin, in mermaid mode, swam towards us.

Behind Marin, sticky cola was encroaching on the pool, following her.

“Marin is being eaten by cola!”

Bomi grabbed Marin’s arm and pulled her.

Marin, without legs, needed our help.

“What’s going on?”

“This is…”

Just as I was about to explain Levinas’s cola magic to Marin,

Gaeul widened her eyes and pointed to the swimming pool playground.

“Jjuin! Sseogeotto! Waekwae!”

“Gaeul, this isn’t rotten, it’s cola.”

“Konna?”

“Yeah. All the water in the pool has turned into cola.”

I wondered if the acidity of the cola would corrode the playground equipment.

While I was worrying, people gathered around the swimming pool playground.

“Mom, look at this. The water color is strange.”

“I know, doesn’t it look like cola…?”

People gathered near the cola pool.

Our Master was among the gathered people.

“What are you doing?”

I hesitated a little at Master’s question.

I was worried that I would be scolded for causing an accident.

“Uh… this swimming pool playground… that’s… ”

“Levinas used magic to turn this whole place into cola!”

Ahem.

Levinas, unlike me, very confidently puffed out her chest.

Creating a lot of cola seemed to be a proud thing for Levinas.

“Okay, good job.”

Master patted Levinas’s and my heads and then left again.

It felt like he came because he thought there was a problem, but when he came, it was nothing, so he was going back.

‘What is it.’

I thought I would be scolded for causing an accident.

I was even more embarrassed because he just let it go.

“Wanga, if this happens, cola will be free for life.”

“Hmm… wouldn’t we not be able to play in the swimming pool playground instead?”

“Heok…! That’s not okay…!”

Levinas looked back at the pond behind the playground.

I knew what she was thinking, so I quickly stopped Levinas.

“Then all the fish will die, right?”

“…Then what should we do?”

“As I said before, cola is bad for your health if you eat too much. Let’s just turn it back to normal.”

“Ung! Aratta!”

Levinas did not raise any objections or questions to my words.

She just held up the empty cola bottle high in the sky.

“Cola, come back!”

With Levinas’s shout, the bubbling cola gathered together.

And then it started to return to the empty plastic bottle.

“······!”

Gaeul jumped up towards the returning cola.

She opened her mouth and swallowed a mouthful of the flying cola, and then landed again.

“Oh.”

Gaeul wags her tail gently.

Looking at the cola bottle, a mouthful of cola had disappeared.

The children gasped at Gaeul’s mysterious talent.

“Gaeul puppy! Do it again, do it again!”

“Heok…!”

Levinas throws the cola, and Gaeul catches it.

Saebyeok was opening her mouth next to her, so Levinas put cola in Saebyeok’s mouth as well.

“Wow.”

Clap clap-

Cola flew into my mouth as I admired and clapped.

Cola was always delicious no matter how you ate it.

The next day.

I woke up and moved to the sofa.

Sophia, who had already woken up, was sitting in the massage chair next to the sofa.

“Sophia, did you sleep well?”

“Yes, I slept well.”

I exchanged simple morning greetings with Sophia and turned on my smartphone.

It was to check the job posting that Bomi had posted on the guild computer yesterday.

[Ggaemmi Guild Seeks Office Staff!]

As expected of a post written by Bomi, the title of the job posting was quite intense.

The content of the job posting was as cheerful as the title.

───

Work from 9 am to 4 pm!

Eat and rest from 12 pm to 2 pm!

Annual salary is negotiable!!!!

Benefits: Swimming pool playground available! The guild park is large and beautiful!!!!

──

An exclamation point is attached to the end of each sentence in the job posting.

Thanks to this, it felt even more intense.

‘I wonder if many people have applied.’

Since it was posted yesterday.

I probably haven’t applied much yet.

Maybe no one even applied.

‘Don’t be disappointed even if there are no applicants.’

The notification box I looked at without much expectation.

I blinked for a moment after seeing the list of applicants.

“Huh…?”

We were hiring two office staff, but over a thousand applicants had applied.

Even though it hadn’t been 24 hours since the job posting was posted, this many people had gathered.

“What is this.”

Ah.

Just now, two more applicants increased.

Oh, another one increased.

I couldn’t help but gape as I looked at the resumes coming up in real time.

At this rate, the number of applicants might exceed 10,000.

Because the recruitment period was set for one week.

“Ugh…”

When will I ever look through 10,000 resumes?

As I screamed, Sophia, who had gotten up from the massage chair, approached me.

“What’s wrong?”

“Something is strange…”

I showed Sophia my smartphone.

Sophia looked at the smartphone screen and just shrugged.

“Isn’t this much obvious?”

“Is it, obvious?”

“Yes, the conditions are good, and it’s directly connected to Yeomyeong, so.”

“Ah…”

Sophia, who looked at the resumes from the top, began to delete people one by one.

She would get rid of them after looking at their self-introduction, or sometimes she would get rid of them without even looking at their self-introduction.

“So, Sophia, shouldn’t we look at the self-introductions that they worked hard on…?”

“I’m looking at them properly. Take a look.”

Sophia went into the deletion waiting box and showed me the resume she had deleted again.

It was a woman who was attending university, and her self-introduction was full of words like praise for the Ggaemmi Guild.

“Gyeoul, your guild hasn’t even been established for a month. So why are you saying such flattering things?”

“…Yeomyeong?”

“Yes, many people must have applied thinking about Yeomyeong. But you shouldn’t mention that here. It’s rude.”

“Ah… I understand.”

Our Ggaemmi Guild is still a new guild.

It wasn’t at the stage where people could have admiration.

Instead of praising the guild, there should be a self-introduction about how to grow the new guild together.

“And this guy is an executive of the Edward Guild. Why would a guy who is guaranteed success in a top guild want to come to a new guild as an ordinary office worker?”

“…Are they aiming for Yeomyeong?”

“That’s likely.”

“Aha…”

Did she figure all this out after looking at it for a moment?

Sophia is really amazing.

I couldn’t help but clap my hands.

“Sophia, can you help me with the recruitment this time?”

“I will.”

“Hehe, thank you, Sophia.”

Sophia is helping me.

Now I wasn’t afraid no matter how many applicants there were.

That thought disappeared when there were over two thousand applicants.

**

“Wanga! Wanga! Levinas is going to play Gaim today!”

“Ugh, okay…”

I put aside my worries about recruitment for a while, and we decided to play a game together.

We moved to Kwon Arin’s house, which had several game consoles.

Knock knock knock-!

Gaeul knocked on the door, and after a while, Kwon Arin opened the door and came out.

She was well dressed, so it seemed like she was broadcasting.

“Jijoeunchoigang Kwon Arin! Let Levinas play games!”

“You’re calling me that again all of a sudden.”

Hiss.

Kwon Arin, who had a fierce expression, smiled faintly.

Then she let us into the house.

“I was broadcasting, is it okay?”

“Ung!”

As soon as we entered Kwon Arin’s game room, Levinas ran to the computer desk and sat down.

Chatting was going up on the computer screen.

[Oh, the kids are here.]

[I’m glad I came to the broadcast today.]

Viewers welcome the arrival of the children.

Kwon Arin glanced at the chat window and then turned on the store on the game platform.

“Do you want to choose something you want to do here?”

“Uuum…!”

Levinas chose a game with a very serious expression.

She awkwardly but skillfully moved the mouse wheel up and down, and then picked out a suitable game.

“This one!”

The game Levinas chose was an anime-style RPG game with various races.

It seemed like she chose this game because there were Beastmen among the playable characters.

“Oh, this is a recent one, so I haven’t tried it yet either.”

Levinas purchased the game, and the download started.

It was a huge capacity, but it could be downloaded in an instant.

“Gaim! Gaim!”

“I want to watch too! Give me a chair!”

The tutorial started, and the children’s eyes were focused on the screen.

The race was, of course, Beastmen.

In the customization before starting the game, Levinas created a Horned Rabbit Beastmen.

“Starting!”

The game started, and a gloomy song rang out.

The anime-style graphics were quite… because it was the latest game.

-Dirty Beastmen bastards.

I was startled by the sound that rang out in the game.

“······?”

The protagonist with his arms and legs tied tightly.

Medieval knights with vicious smiles in front of him.

The character Levinas created was going up to the execution ground.

-Kill that Beastmen bastard quickly!

-Punish all the Beastmen!

The NPCs in the game criticize our character.

They began to criticize the entire Beastmen race beyond the character.

Everyone froze in place at the unexpected start.

“Ikgumuyak…”

Swish-

As if promised, everyone’s ears sank down.

Thank you for your comments and recommendations! It’s always a strength!

Old games often dealt with stories about racial discrimination…
