City of Backstreet Nymphs

133 – Murim Nymph # 3

Since I was young, I was good at many things.

Whether I was studying or playing games, I got used to it faster than others.

This is because he was smart and had good tact.

Third grade of elementary school.

I adapted perfectly to school and received a lot of love from my teachers.

At that time-.

Someone transferred to the school.

It may not seem like a big deal now, but someone transferring to a new school was a big event in the children’s lives, and they were all excited.

“This girl’s name is So So-hee. Take care in the future.”

She was an impressive child, wearing a sparkling white dress like a princess and her hair braided with great care.

Both the bag and pencil case were new, and the shoes were shiny.

“Sohee. “Would you like to introduce yourself?”

“… ….”

There was no word on whether he was shy or not.

“The seat is… Will things go sideways? “Jooyoung, please move one seat back and leave some room next to me.”

“Yes? No, I do not want! Teacher! “My eyesight is so bad that I can’t see when I go backwards!”

“Jooyoung, you are tall. It’s correct to sit in the back. It’s a matter of fact, since you’re the class president, you have to take responsibility and take care of Sohee, who transferred to the school? Understand? “Will the teacher check it every day?”

At the time, I was the class president.

I was elected in the class president election.

Just because I became class president, my mom handed out hamburgers to the class.

It’s time to take a break with that feeling.

The children, who had welcomed a new transfer student for the first time in their lives, flocked to the side of transfer student So So-hee and asked her a barrage of questions.

“Where have you been living?”

“Do you have a cat? “What about the puppy?”

Children who have just entered third grade are naive because they are curious.

So Sohee blushed and nodded or shook her head.

It was right then.

“Are you dumb? “Why aren’t you talking?”

Someone asked.

She was the prettiest girl in class, her name was Gongju Young, she was tall, and she seemed a little more mature than her peers.

According to the rumor among the children, there was also a story that the 5th grade older brother of the track and field team confessed to him.

That kind of princess Young was my best friend even before So Hee transferred to the school, and even though she had a prickly and arrogant personality, she sometimes secretly gave me food like ‘My Chu’ or ‘Sweet and Sour’.

It was nice to be able to get a lot of things from my partner.

Anyway.

Children are sometimes as cruel as they are innocent.

“Are you dumb? Can’t you speak? “Don’t you know Korean?”

Thinking about it now, it was clear that Princess Young did not like So Hee, who made her change her position as she pleased.

After that, So Hee, who was picked on by Gongju Young, who could be said to be the powerhouse of her class, began to become isolated little by little.

As a class president, I took better care of So So-hee.

I think it was around that time that my relationship with the girls in my class, whom I had gotten along well with, started to fall apart.

Anyway.

I went home from school with So So-hee, who was heading in the same direction.

“This is your house, right? “The best health center”?”

At that time, there were many houses in our neighborhood that were uninhabitable due to lack of redevelopment.

So So-hee lived in a house with old walls and an impressive slate roof, and I remember being surprised at how So-hee’s mother, Aunt Dang Yeong-yeong, was very young and beautiful.

She was more like an older sister than a mother.

“Are you working? Please take good care of our Sohee. She has just returned to Korea, so she is busy with various things. “Oh, I’m busy, I’m busy.”

The lady who said that placed a clear glass bottle in her yard and filled it with her soju. Then she filled it with things like snakes, centipedes, and wasp nests.

At a young age, I thought it was very scary.

“Now, pocket money. Use this to go out, buy something delicious, and have fun. You said it was work, right? You look smart. “We need to take good care of Sohee.”

Zek-.

The lady put her two thousand won bills into my hand.

“Oh, yeah!”

Then, I headed to the “Eumteum Stationery Store” And took So So-hee with me to play games like Mechanical Snail 3 or buy bad food like sausages and share them.

I liked it.

2,000 Won.

It was quite a lot of money for me, a third grader at the time!

You can play Mechanical Snail 3 20 times!

Then I didn’t know if I could beat the difficult 4th boss!

Did you feel like that for a few days?

The girls in my class called me to the back of the classroom and said,

“Hey! Hail too! Are you dating So So-hee?”

“Answer quickly!”

It was Gong Ju-young and the girls in her group.

Gong Ju-young said.

“Don’t play with her again. You know my dad is a prosecutor, right? Test. He’s such a great person, right? They also catch bad guys, right? “My dad said, So So-hee, their dad is the one who is being watched!”

“Surveillance?”

“They said they fought in foreign countries and threw Molotov cocktails at tanks! That’s why I heard that I can’t live with my family and that I’m living separately! Are you scared? “He must have done something bad.”

At the time, I was a 10-year-old child.

I didn’t know what a person fighting by throwing a Molotov cocktail at a tank was, but I knew very well that bullying Gong Ju-young so that she wouldn’t hang out with So So-hee was a bad thing.

“Anyway, if Hail doesn’t play with So Sohee, I will let you join my cat show group from now on. According to the original rules, no men are allowed to participate, but you can specially participate. How is it? It’s good?”

“I don’t like it. “I like squirrels better than cats.”

I just refused.

After that, I went to school with So So-hee or played games at the stationery store, and something happened that day.

「☆Birthday party invitation★

You are already invited… !

At So Sohee’s birthday party… !」

“It’s work… Is this really going to work? ?”

“That’s right! These days, invitations have to attract aggro well to be competitive! Aggro is important! “I’m sure everyone will come in like clouds.”

At that time, I thought that So So-hee’s birthday party should be held in a grand manner.

I thought So So-hee should have many friends.

On the day of So Sohee’s birthday, Mrs. Dang Young-young ordered chicken and pizza despite the lack of household expenses, and bought a game game that the children liked, which she connected to the TV.

Still, she worried, “What if there are too many children and we don’t have enough food?”

「You are officially invited to the world’s best martial arts competition.」

When I saw the invitation, it reminded me of old times.

Soon, Oinoi, who had been sleeping with a sigh, woke up in surprise.

“Ah! It is said that he felt the energy of reminiscing about the past and fell asleep… ! This Oinoi, we need to keep an eye on the fluffy typhoon clouds… !”

Oinoi liked watching typhoon clouds in a glass bottle even in the late morning.

The cloud, which looked like cotton candy, occasionally felt fluffy and trembled. I couldn’t figure out what the mechanism was, but it looked amazing.

“It is said that Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, rode around with these typhoon clouds… ! And it is said that Zeus, the king of the gods, also kept these typhoon clouds as pets… !”

“Really?”

“But, except for the gods, no nymph would have been able to raise the typhoon cloud… ! This oinoi is the first… ! This Oinoi becomes the chief nymph… !”

Chuck-!

Oinoi squared her shoulders proudly, as if she were proud.

Oinoi was a nymph who loved showing off and showing off, unlike Illinois, who loved money, or Coris, who enjoyed just about anything.

“But as expected, there is a shortage of medicinal herbs… ! If things continue like this, summer will end and the typhoon clouds may disperse…. We must quickly rescue this “Typhoon Flower”… !”

The typhoon flower that Oi Noi drew in her sketchbook was truly a flower that spun around like a typhoon.

It looked like a type of dandelion, which she said could be found very rarely in the forests where the nymphs live.

It is a very precious flower.

“How precious is it?”

“It is as precious as “Wild ginseng that has been eaten for 10,000 years” Or “Legendary ditch water”… ! If you can’t get typhoon flowers, you can substitute them with “Millennial Wild Ginseng” Or “Legendary Ditch Water”… !”

I had also heard of wild ginseng.

There was a vague rumor going around that an awakened person was promoted from Class A to Class S after eating it.

However, this was my first time hearing the name “Legendary Ditch Water.”

I don’t know for sure, but since this is what Oinoi is trying to save, it must be something great and awesome!

“Legendary ditch water. It’s a name that seems like a good fit for me, Haildo, a living legend. “Mhahahaha.”

Anyway.

I looked at the plane ticket enclosed in the invitation.

This time, it was a ticket to a newly opened airport in Shanghai, China.

“There is only one copy.”

“This Oinoi also wants to go to Limbu Forest in Sichuan… ! Since this is a forest where nymphs lived long ago, there must be typhoon flowers… !”

Now that things are like this, we have no choice but to adjust the schedule.

More tickets are also being airlifted.

The morning passed with that feeling.

“Haildo, I have to go out on a boat to the Pacific Ocean soon. Can you take care of Illinois? “I’m a bit anxious about leaving it to other people, so you’re perfect.”

Seo Ye-rim came to see me a week away from participating in “Argonaut,” A world ranker-level mission.

This was because he needed someone to take charge of Illinois and protect it when he was away.

That was the reason he asked to see me.

“Why do you keep renting that Illinois from the house master?” ? What I am saying is, stop the movement that is trying to abandon Illinois like jumping over a snake wall… !”

Illinois seemed to not want to be separated from Seo Ye-rim.

It seems that Seo Ye-rim is very good to her companion, her nymph, Illinois.

“Illinois, can you make a medicine that cures diseases?”

Illinois was good at making medicinal nymphs.

She mainly made medicines that made you feel high, but she also made ordinary medicines.

If Illinois and Ari, a great doctor, join forces, wouldn’t they be able to create a medicine that can cure Auntie Dangyeong’s illness?

So I showed Illinois the blood sample I brought, and Illinois frowned.

“Is this blood Wat Is Det…” ? It’s blood from poison… ! Poison is the opposite of Illinois, the nymph of that drug… ! Together we can’t do it… !”

I see.

I’m not sure what this means, but it probably means that it’s difficult to cure the disease.

“In the end, should I go to Shanghai? “I have to leave soon, so I don’t think I can take Illinois with me.”

Seo Ye-rim, who was tapping her cell phone as if she had heard me, frowned.

“Why Shanghai?”

I thought it would be quicker to show than to explain in words.

Zek-.

When she showed him her letter with a phoenix and a dragon embroidered with gold thread on red paper, Seo Ye-rim’s impression immediately widened.

“Isn’t this an invitation to the alliance?”

“That’s right. “Did you know?”

“It’s a competition where the federation gathers the next generation of awakened people to spar and then gives prizes to the winner. “It is also called Yongbong Branch and the greatest martial arts competition in the world.”

As expected, Seo Ye-rim was a member of a global megacorp conglomerate, so she knew a lot and her understanding was quick.

And of course, he had better information than me.

“Normally, foreigners are not invited. If you invite a foreigner, invite them as a clown. “By being defeated by China’s awakened people, it serves to promote the greatness of China and the greatness of its martial arts.”

A long time ago, Chinese martial arts declined and were completely destroyed by 21st century fighters.

Then, China, which entered a new phase in the 5th industrial era, invited awakened people from around the world and then had its own awakened martial artists defeat them and spread the propaganda that “Chinese martial arts are great!” It was like that.

In other words-.

From noble mtl dot com

I was called to the role of being defeated by China’s great martial arts.

“This is a trap. Hail too. You know that much, right? Yongbong Branch’s viewership rating in China is over 78%. You could be humiliated in front of all the Chinese people.”

“I know. But if you know it, it becomes a battle of numbers rather than a trap. No, what’s the viewership rating? 78%?”

I felt dizzy in many ways and my hands and feet were shaking.

Aren’t you saying that this is a chance for me, Hail-do, to instantly become a global star?

The 5th Korean Wave -.

It will happen like a typhoon in the hands of me, Haildo!

While I was thinking about that, Seo Ye-rim called somewhere.

“Uh. Young-eun, it’s me. Seo Ye-rim. Next week’s Argonaut schedule is canceled. Uh. I’m not participating. Cha Yu-ra will take care of it on her own. Uh. Okay.”

Drop-.

Seo Ye-rim hung up the phone.

The guy said.

“Illinois, take your passport. “We are going to China too.”

“Muhuh… ! I feel very good… ! I decided to listen to Oinoi because I heard that there might be poisonous nymphs in China… ! Go ahead and beat him up… !”
