580 – Drunkard

580 – Drunkard

-Mountain Girl

-Gaeul became a ghost

Gaeul continued to write with the letter blocks.

She seemed to think that her family couldn’t see her, so she had become a ghost.

“Gaeul became a ghost?”

-I died kkekkudak

Gaeul writes scary words with letter blocks.

Surprised, I forgot that I was acting and waved at Gaeul.

“Gaeul, you didn’t die, you just became transparent.”

-Take off transparent

She wants me to take off the transparent part.

She must mean to undo it?

I turned to look at Bomi, who had cast the transparency spell.

“Okay, let’s undo the transparency magic now.”

Bomi picked up the blanket and approached Gaeul.

But she threw the blanket a little to the side of Gaeul, not at Gaeul herself.

“Huh? Is this not the place?”

“Heck…”

Gaeul put the blanket that had fallen on the floor over her head herself.

Bomi giggled at the sight of the bulging blanket and continued the spell.

“Return, transparency!”

It was a different spell than when she turned Levinas back from transparency.

The spell didn’t seem to have any particular meaning.

“Gaeul, come out now.”

At Bomi’s call, Gaeul peeked her head out from under the blanket.

We applauded Gaeul, who had returned to normal.

“Wow, it’s Gaeul.”

“Woo-ack!”

Gaeul jumped for joy.

Is she happy to be back from being transparent?

Curious, I decided to ask Gaeul directly.

“Gaeul, do you not like being transparent?”

“No. Hate it.”

“Really? Why don’t you like it?”

“Gaeul no see.”

“Ah.”

Gaeul likes it when her family sees her.

Then it makes sense that she doesn’t like being transparent.

“I see, I’d be sad too if I became transparent and Gaeul couldn’t see me.”

“Heck…”

I watched Gaeul, who had returned from being transparent, intently.

Gaeul wagged her tail as if she was happy just with that.

“Gaeul, shall we play something else next time?”

“Okay.”

“Giggle, I need to research what to do next time.”

Bomi went back into the bedroom.

It must be more difficult than I thought to research pranks that the family can enjoy without getting angry.

I was already looking forward to what kind of fun prank Bomi would play next time.

“Master Gaeul.”

After watching the television animation, Gaeul pointed outside the house.

Gyeoul could tell that she meant she was going outside.

“Gaeul, you’re going outside?”

“Yes. Go play.”

“Okay. Be careful of cars, okay?”

“Heck…”

As Gaeul moved to the front door to put on her shoes, Haneul hurriedly followed her.

“Gaeul-nim, let’s go together. I have some business at the smithy too.”

“Okay.”

Gaeul grabbed Haneul’s hand and went outside.

Something strange came into the sight of the two people walking with small steps.

“Keuh…”

A middle-aged man with a painful expression staggered around.

Then he chuckled as if he felt good.

“Huh?”

Feeling something was wrong, Gaeul took Haneul and ran to a nearby bush.

Hiding in the bushes, she peeked out and watched the strange middle-aged man.

“Should I have another drink…?”

He can’t even take care of himself, and he can’t speak properly even though he’s an adult.

Gaeul covered her mouth, which was about to make a horrified sound.

“Zombie…!”

“Yes…?”

“Shhh…!”

Gaeul put her hand on Haneul’s lips, telling her to be quiet.

Zombies are usually sensitive to sound.

“Ugh…”

The middle-aged man walked with his body bent to one side.

Gaeul could see an empty bottle in his hand.

“Empty bottle zombie…!”

Those who drink in the park tend to be somewhat restrained for the sake of the children.

Thanks to that, Gaeul had never seen anyone so drunk that they were unconscious.

“Ugh.”

His head is bent this way and that, and his body is staggering.

Gaeul, who thought of the middle-aged man as a zombie, put her hand on Haneul’s shoulder.

“One two three run!”

“Run?”

“Heck…! One! Two! Three!”

Gaeul, who counted to three, grabbed Haneul’s hand and ran away.

She ran without stopping to the house where Gyeoul was.

“Master! Master!”

She fidgeted in the elevator, and when she arrived home, she ran to Gyeoul.

Gyeoul was watching television with the children, and her eyes widened as she saw Gaeul rushing in.

“Master big trouble!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Zombie! Zombie!”

Gaeul pointed out the window and jumped up and down.

Gyeoul, who was relieved that the house was soundproof, was shocked by the word zombie.

“Zombie?!”

“Yes! Zombie there!”

“Gasp.”

Zombie.

Aren’t people in this world supposed to not become zombies because they have Mana?

Surprised, Gyeoul reached out to Gaeul.

“Gaeul, my weapon.”

“I…!”

Gaeul used a portal to take out a bow and arrow from the guild building.

Gyeoul, who had taken her weapon, hurriedly moved after Gaeul.

“Gaeul, where is it?”

“There!”

Gaeul, who had taken the elevator down, led the way.

The eyes of the guild members were drawn to the children’s determined appearance.

“Why do the kids look like that?”

“Are they going to fight somewhere?”

The children’s expressions are somehow strange.

Among those who were watching these children was Choi Jin-hyuk.

‘What is it.’

Feeling that something was unusual, Choi Jin-hyuk ran towards the children.

He put his hand on Gyeoul’s shoulder, who looked like she was about to shoot an arrow at any moment.

“Gyeoul, what’s wrong?”

“There’s a zombie…!”

“Zombie…?”

A zombie in this world.

Choi Jin-hyuk followed the children.

When they arrived, there was a person staggering around drunk.

“……”

It wasn’t a zombie, it was a drunk.

Is it the first time the children have seen a drunk?

Come to think of it.

They are children who live in a place full of adventurers who can blow away their drunkenness with Mana.

It was perhaps natural that it was difficult to see a drunk.

“Guys, that’s…”

Just as Choi Jin-hyuk was about to explain alcohol and drunks to the children, Haneul stepped forward and blocked the children.

“That person is not a zombie…!”

“Huh?”

If it’s not a zombie, then what is it?

Gaeul’s eyes widened.

“That person drank a lot of alcohol…!”

“Sooru?”

“Yes…! When you drink a lot of alcohol, your face turns red and you get dizzy…! And…”

Haneul trailed off.

Gaeul, frustrated by the interruption, grabbed Haneul’s arm and shook it.

“And?”

“…And, when you drink a lot of alcohol, you hit people…”

“…Zombie?”

If you’re dizzy and hit people, that’s a zombie.

Gaeul tilted her head, and Haneul’s ears drooped.

Choi Jin-hyuk and Gyeoul, who were watching this, could realize it.

That Haneul had been beaten by drunk people when she was captured.

“Haneul, not everyone hits people when they’re drunk.”

“Really…?”

“Yeah. It’s just that bad people become worse when they drink alcohol. If good people drink alcohol, they’ll stay good, right?”

“……”

At Gyeoul’s explanation, Haneul only fidgeted with her fingers.

She wanted to believe what Gyeoul was saying, but her instincts were rejecting it.

It was because she had been bullied for a long time.

“Hmm…”

Choi Jin-hyuk looked at Haneul and pondered.

He was wondering if he could erase the misinformation.

After thinking for a while, Choi Jin-hyuk decided to take a small gamble.

“Haneul, would you like to check it out yourself?”

“An experiment…?”

“Yeah. Go and have a conversation with him.”

“That’s…”

Haneul hesitated.

It seemed that she still had a fear of drunks.

I guess it won’t work this way.

It was the moment when Choi Jin-hyuk was thinking of another way.

“Gaeul!”

Gaeul, who raised her hand high, ran towards the drunk.

She was thinking of checking it out instead of Haneul, who was scared.

“Huh? You are…”

“Gaeul.”

“Oh, yeah, your name is Gaeuul…”

“Gaeul!”

“Y-yes, Gaeul.”

Ugh.

The middle-aged man with a frown rummaged through his pockets.

Haneul, surprised, reflexively stretched out her Mechanical arm towards the middle-aged man, but what came out of the middle-aged man’s pocket was none other than his wallet.

“Here, this is pocket money.”

The middle-aged man took out 10,000 won from his wallet and handed it to Gaeul.

But Gaeul didn’t take the money.

“It’s okay.”

“It’s pocket money from uncle?”

“No.”

When Gaeul refused, saying it was okay, the middle-aged man put the money back in his wallet with regret.

Gaeul was looking at the middle-aged man’s bottle, not the money.

“Bottle.”

“Oh, this is a bottle of alcohol. Uncle was feeling sad about life, so I had a little day drink, sorry.”

The middle-aged man bowed to Gaeul.

Gaeul reached out her hand to the man.

“Bottle.”

“Bottle? You want the bottle of alcohol?”

“Heck…”

When Gaeul nodded, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before handing the bottle to Gaeul.

Then, Gaeul poured the remaining alcohol in the bottle onto the floor without hesitation.

“Ah…”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then wiped his face.

Then he gave a somewhat bitter smile.

“That’s right, you shouldn’t rely on alcohol even if it’s hard.”

“Huh?”

“Thank you. I’ll look for a job again.”

Hoo.

The middle-aged man, who thanked Gaeul, let out a long breath.

The man, who straightened his back as if he had never staggered, straightened his clothes and left.

“Wow.”

Our Gaeul comforted a person in need.

Gyeoul looked at Gaeul with admiring eyes.

Then Gaeul laughed and ran over with an empty bottle.

“Boat gun!”

“Ah.”

She didn’t comfort him, she just asked for the bottle.

Gyeoul watched the middle-aged man walking away proudly in the distance.

It seems like there was a misunderstanding, but it wasn’t bad because the person himself cheered up.
