Do you know that feeling?

Suddenly, when I opened my eyes and looked around,

The place I was was no longer the place I knew.

My precious people disappeared in an instant as if it were a lie.

The body I’ve been living in has changed as if telling you that you’ve been dreaming.

At first, I worried, ‘Could it be that I have a mental illness?’

If you are suffering from schizophrenia,

Don’t they say that our brain remembers absurd things as if they were common sense?

I thought so too.

‘Ah, so it turns out I was actually mentally ill and it was all my fault up until now.’

But there was a limit to comforting oneself in that way.

It’s because my memory was so detailed,

Because my body told me that what was happening in my memory was not a delusion.

Compared to here, the somewhat stuffy and pungent air still lingers in my nose.

The sound of a conversation with a friend I had been happily chatting with until yesterday lingered in my ears.

The proud letter of acceptance that I finally received after countless efforts lingers in my mind.

The words I couldn’t tell my parents because I made the excuse that I was busy with work are still on my lips.

Tears flowed, and snot and drool flowed profusely,

Sounds that could not be translated into language continued to flow from his mouth.

This situation made me feel nauseous.

I don’t know what sin I committed to deserve this ordeal.

Screaming at the sky, crying, nothing changed.

The god who brought me here without permission has abandoned me.

Then suddenly, I began to wonder if I had committed a great sin and was being punished for it.

Otherwise this situation doesn’t make sense.

From then on, I started writing down on paper the sins I had committed in my past life.

Didn’t find the item that fell on the street,

Even minor sins like not going to school under the pretense of being sick.

I carefully searched through my memories,

When I saw the papers that recorded my sins, I denied them.

Even if I read it a thousand times, I didn’t think I deserved this much punishment.

I was angry,

I was so resentful of the god who sent me here.

I compromised,

Perhaps the sins I committed were great sins in the eyes of the gods.

I got depressed,

I didn’t eat anything for a while, praying for this to end and for me to wake up from this nightmare.

Finally accepted,

You must have something you want from me, so you brought me here.

However, I will not move according to your will.

One day, I will knock you, that ugly bastard who is looking down on me, down under my feet.

Since then, I have been locked up in the mountains and swing my sword like crazy.

…

After finishing my breakfast, I slowly opened my eyes.

The floating body slowly begins to sink to the bottom,

The next realm that seemed within reach seemed to be just around the corner, as if it was teasing me, but just out of reach.

‘lack.’

It feels like I could reach it if I just take one more step… .

He shook his head quickly as if to clear his mind of distracting thoughts.

If you continue to worry about useless things, it can have a negative effect on your luck.

I don’t want to experience the feeling of vomiting out my entire body’s internal organs again.

“After… .”

I let out a light sigh and headed towards the cabin where Myeong was waiting.

A smile formed.

As I slowly approached the cabin, a sweet smell tickled my nose.

Sniff sniff… .

‘!! This smell….’

strawberry!

I guess a lot of time has passed since this lucky breakfast.

It seems like Myeong-i went down to the village and bought strawberries.

Naturally, saliva began to form in my mouth and the corners of my mouth began to turn up.

‘No, no.’

I swallowed hard and forced the corners of my mouth to lower as much as possible.

He’s not a very cool teacher, being so happy like a little kid just because I bought him strawberries.

What I pursue is not so much advancing to the next level,

This kind of immature appearance must be hidden, as more weight is placed on the teacher who looks cool.

He slapped her cheek and straightened his expression.

‘Okay, that’s enough.’

The corners of my lips trembled slightly,

Anonymous wouldn’t notice this much.

Creak-creak- walking without expressing joy as much as possible,

We arrived right in front of the cabin.

Now, if you open this door, there will be strawberries, or rather, nameless ones.

“Ahem, big.”

I cleared my throat and made a sound to let the anonymous person know that I was in front of the cabin.

I had my own set of difficulties, such as not opening the door and making noise.

Recently, after finishing my breakfast, I went to find a nameless place without thinking about anything.

Because I encountered an unknown person who was taking advantage of my absence to satisfy his desires.

‘Hmm, the nameless partner will have a hard time.’

Well, it’s not something I have to worry about.

Anyway, I thought it would be awkward not to say anything at that time.

As I smiled awkwardly and gave him a thumbs up, the nameless person’s face turned pale and his Braille eyes lost their vitality.

At the time, I was trying to stop the anonymous person from making an extreme choice.

While I was recalling the dark history of obscurity, Moo-myeong came out.

Suddenly a playful spirit emerged.

“Hmm, did you solve it well?”

“… Yes? Are you talking about visiting the village?”

This guy clearly understood, judging by the way he stuttered strangely and the slight blush on his face.

I lightly patted the anonymous shoulder and smiled a somewhat sinister smile.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, the teacher understands everything.”

“…”

It became as quiet as a mouse.

Hey,

‘Why is there no response?’

I, who was slightly embarrassed, glanced up and looked at the nameless person.

What was visible was an anonymous man with a strangely distorted face, as if he was very angry.

Huh?

The anonymous man went back into the cabin and slammed the door shut.

“Anonymous?”

No answer came back.

“… Anonymous?”

Deulgeureok – I even heard the sound of the door locking,

Cold sweat was pouring down.

Realizing that something was wrong, I banged on the door.

“Anonymous! I was wrong! That was a bad joke!”

Knock knock-

“AnonymousAaaaah!”

Knock knock-

I think I knocked on the door for about 3 minutes?

An anonymous voice was heard from inside the door.

“It’s late today, so I think it’d be better to go to sleep and see you tomorrow.”

“What!”

What are you talking about, the sun is just setting.

“Rest in peace, Master.”

“Ahhhh! I’m sorry!”

Knock knock-

“Rest in peace, Master.”

Despite my desperate cries, the nameless one gave me the same answer as before.

For some reason, the voice seems to have become more harsh.

‘no..!’

Knock knock-

“At least…at least! Give me some strawberries!”

That naughty disciple doesn’t even respond when his master speaks.

Knock knock-

‘My strawberry!’

It was Harang who valued strawberries more than Torazin’s name.

After standing in front of the door for another hour, I pout my lips and open my mouth in a small voice.

“That was a serious prank, Anonymous.”

You can tell that he is not asleep because you can feel his body trembling inside the room.

He smiled devilishly.

“If you open this door, I will grant you one favor, within my means.”

I felt myself shaking more and more in the room.

Feeling that, I laughed even harder.

Of course, I had no intention of listening.

‘Where is the disciple to the master!’

This is a punishment that a master gives to his disciple, and it is an education to not trust people easily.

If you pretend to completely forget it later, you will eventually get tired of being anonymous and give up.

I deliberately made my voice tremble to make it sound as pitiful as possible.

“So.. if you come out.. can’t you..?”

Soon after, footsteps were heard coming toward the door.

‘I’m caught!’

The door opened with a squeak, and an anonymous face appeared.

“… Really?”

“That’s true!”

She showed a pure smile without a single lie.

Even though he is an anonymous person who usually understands my thoughts well,

This is bound to be deceiving.

The anonymous man completely pulled his body out of the door and started staring at me.

Finally, the anonymous opened his mouth, his voice dry.

Cold sweat poured down.

“Master.”

“Why are you calling me?”

Anonymous brought his face in front of mine and met my eyes.

“Are you thinking of avoiding this situation and just taking the strawberries you want?”

“Hmm? I… absolutely not! What on earth do you think I am!”

Anonymous made a dubious expression,

Now the cold sweat began to pour down like a waterfall.

“Then, can you swear on your teacher’s honor?”

“… What?”

He tilted his head as if he didn’t know and took a step back.

As if nothing could happen, the nameless one approached me as far away as I had come, and became a bubble.

“That means you’ll grant me one wish.”

“So..wish?”

Something seems subtly different?

‘Didn’t you say please..?’

I’m confused.

“Yes, do you think the Master would lie to his disciple just to get one strawberry?”

“Hmm, that’s right.”

Anonymous continued talking, forcing me to continue my thoughts without giving me a chance to think.

“Then can you swear to it?”

“Of course..! I swear on it!”

I feel like I dug my own grave, I’m dizzy.

“Okay, come inside, I have a lot of strawberries I bought in town.”

“Hmm, okay.”

It must have been an illusion to see the anonymous person smiling brightly with the corners of his lips raised.

Still, the strawberries that Anmyeong bought were delicious, so I have no regrets.
