Side Story Chapter 52 - Bloody Family Trip (3)

Whoosh—!!

A black dragon flew across a clear blue sky. Every time the dragon flapped her wings covered in glossy black scales, a massive gust formed.

[Hm! Hm! A trip with Kang-Woo! A family trip with everyone!]

Echidna, who returned to her dragon form after a long time, flapped her wings as she repeatedly snorted in excitement.

"Are you that excited?"

[Hm! Of course, I am!]

Kang-Woo stroked Echidna's scales as he sat on Echidna.

"But if you're so excited, we could've arrived faster if we used one of the Gates leading to Singapore in the Hall of Protection."

[That defeats the purpose of a trip!]

"Well, I guess that's true."

Just like riding an airplane, riding Echidna felt more like they were going on a trip.

"Urpp... P-Please slow down..."

Cha Yeon-Joo gripped Echidna's scales, covering her mouth with her hand to stop herself from vomiting.

Kang-Woo softly pounded her back and said, "We're almost there, so hold it for a little longer."

They began to see land after a few minutes.

"Authority of Stealth."

Kang-Woo used an Authority to make him and the others invisible. Echidna landed on a random building and slowly climbed down.

"As I thought, it's hotter than Korea," said Kang-Woo, looking up at the beaming sun with a frown.

"But the buildings are beautiful," replied Seol-Ah as she looked around excitedly.

Unlike what people usually pictured about Southeast Asia, Singapore was full of highrise buildings, making it look like a concrete forest.

"Apparently, only this area is highly developed," Kang-Woo remarked.

"Urgh... I'm dying... my organs feel like they're inside out," Yeon-Joo grumbled.

"You okay?"

"No, I feel like I'm dying. Haaa. In any case, it's been a while since I've been to Singapore."

"Eh? You've been here before?"

"Yeah, for guild matters."

"Oh, then I guess you can act as our guide."

Yeon-Joo clicked her tongue and looked away. "It was only to attend a meeting, so I don't know much about the place either."

"There's our hotel."

"Dayum, it looks awesome even in the morning."

Yeon-Joo and Kang-Woo expressed their amazement as they stared at the Marina Bay Sands hotel.

"Hmm. I still don't quite get it," Lilith said.

She was not yet fully accustomed to Human culture, so it only looked like a peculiar building in her eyes; it did not look particularly amazing enough to be amazed.

"Let's head inside, Kang-Woo!" Han Seol-Ah shouted.

"Hoho. It's been a while since I've seen our little Seol-Ah so excited. Do you want to show the king the swimsuit you bought yesterday that badly?"

"Ah! U-Unnie! You said you'd keep that a secret from Kang-Woo!"

"My, did I?"

Seol-Ah quickly covered Lilith's mouth but it had already come out. The corners of Kang-Woo's mouth were slowly rising.

"Sheesh, you sure are loving this. Do you love swimsuits that much?" Yeon-Joo asked.

"Hehe. Obviously."

No man wouldn't, especially if it was worn by a knockout beauty like Seol-Ah.

"Fucking pervert."

"I'm looking forward to your swimsuit too."

"F-Fuck off! I didn't bring one!"

"Wh-What?!" Kang-Woo pulled on his hair in despair as if he were the last human on Earth. "Hurgh! There's no reason to live anymore...!"

"S-Stop fucking overreacting!!" Yeon-Joo kicked Kang-Woo's thigh and her face reddened. She averted her gaze from him and softly muttered, "I... I brought one, so stop with that. Why wouldn't I bring one when we decided to play in the pool?"

"I trusted you," said Kang-Woo with a smile, lightly embracing Yeon-Joo by her waist.

Yeon-Joo shouted at him not to touch her as she pushed him away.

"Wow," Kang-Woo expressed as he looked up.

There wasn't a single cloud in the blue sky. The sun beamed down on them as if blessing their trip, and the scenery reminded him how much money he poured into this trip. Not just that, he was surrounded by three beautiful women, each with their own charms, and a cute little girl who radiated happiness.

"This is the life."

'I'm so glad I'm alive.'

***

"We have a bit of time until we can check in, so why don't we grab something to eat first?" asked Kang-Woo after entrusting their luggage to the hotel lobby employees.

"Yes, let's do that."

"Hm! I'm hungry after flying all the way here!" Echidna's eyes sparkled as she clenched her fists.

Lilith examined a palm-sized crystal orb and pointed at a circular building in front of the hotel. "There seems to be something called a food court under that building."

"Enough of that and share a room with Echidna. I'll be using a room by myself."

"Ah! M-My king!"

Kang-Woo went to his room with his things. They would be in Singapore for four days and three nights so they packed light. Kang-Woo quickly went to the living room after unpacking.

"Has everyone changed?"

The main attraction in the Marina Bay Sands was, of course, the swimming pool. They needed to go there first and foremost.

"Fucking pervert. Do you wanna see us in our swimsuits that badly?" asked Yeon-Joo, her face reddened as she walked out in a white gown.

She had changed into her swimsuit but she was too embarrassed to show him in the hotel room. The room shook from how furiously Kang-Woo was nodding.

"Of course I do! Why do you think I'm even here?!"

"F-Fuck you!" Yeon-Joo cursed as she tightened her gown even more to hide her swimsuit.

"Ah~ I wonder what Darling's new swimsuit looks like~?"

Kang-Woo jumped around with a smile. He had seen Seol-Ah in a swimsuit during their picnic but he was brimming with excitement since she had bought a new one.

Click.

The door opened and exited Seol-Ah, covered up with a white gown like Yeon-Joo.

"Darliiiiiiiiiiiing!!"

Kang-Woo ran toward her like a starved beast.

"Fufu. Did you wait long, Kang-Woo?"

"Yup!"

"How cute." Seol-Ah smiled brightly as she hugged Kang-Woo and patted his head. "Would you like to see my new swimsuit?"

"Mm... no! I'll take a good look when we're at the pool."

Kang-Woo wanted to see Seol-Ah's new swimsuit this instant but controlled himself using his superhuman patience. A swimsuit should be seen at a pool.

"My, you're all so quick."

"Hm! Kang-Woo! What do you think of this swimsuit?!"

Lilith and Echidna also exited their rooms after changing into their swimsuits. Lilith was covering herself with a white gown like the other women but Echidna was just in her swimsuit.

Kang-Woo stared at Echidna in her swimsuit with pink frills and said calmly, "It's cute."

"Ngh. Your reaction is so weak..."

"It'd be bad if I overreacted."

'From a censorship standpoint.'

"Right then, up to the pool, we go!"

Kang-Woo swung open the door, full of anticipation. His head was already getting hot from the thought of savoring the women in their swimsuits.

'Fuck yeah!! This is life!!! I'm so fucking happy!!!'

Kang-Woo, so happy that he was about to cry, entered the elevator with the others.

Ring.

The elevator door opened after reaching the top floor.

"Wow..." everyone expressed.

Once they entered the pool above the roof connecting the three hotel buildings, they were met with a clear blue sky and a forest of buildings around the hotel.

"Ah... this is wonderful, even by my standards."

"Whew, I didn't get a chance to come here when I had my meeting here, but this is fucking nice."

"K-Kang-Woo! Th-This is amazing!"

"Hm! What do you think?! You guys are glad you listened to me, right?"

The four women walked toward the pool as they each gave their impressions. Kang-Woo smiled as he followed behind them.

"Hm? Kang-Woo, there's another drunk person over there."

Echidna tilted her head in wonder as she pointed at someone. Just like the person they saw in the department store earlier, a blonde woman who seemed to be in her early twenties was swaying as if she would fall at any second.

"You're right. Why do they love alcohol so much? Could that be Cha Yeon-Joo?"

"Shut up!!"

Yeon-Joo kicked Kang-Woo's thigh. Kang-Woo snickered as he continued to walk toward the pool.

"Now then, ladies. Take off your gowns and reveal your swimsu—"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

Just then, a scream filled the entire swimming pool.

"Eh?" Kang-Woo turned to the source of the sound.

It was the swaying blonde woman; she was convulsing as if she were having a seizure and clenching her neck.

"BLEEEEEEEEEGHHH!!"

She bent down and vomited so much blood that one would think her insides were ground with a mixer and were pouring out from her mouth.

"Kyaaaaaaaaahhh! B-Blood! Blooooood!!" a middle-aged woman screamed at the sight.

"Kurgh! Guh!"

The eyes of the blonde woman vomiting blood turned white and she collapsed.

Splash!

She fell into the pool, which instantly dyed red from the blood.

"What the fuck?"
