Chapter 29.2
We received a club information brochure in front of the main entrance of the student union building.
Each of the clubs names, locations, and activities were briefly and neatly summarized.
What kind of club do you guys want to join?
I asked the two of them to change the topic of conversation.
Something Id enjoy doing as a hobby! Have you found anything...?
Jihye answered while quickly flipping through the booklet.
Even though it was daytime, she appeared quite motivated.
Hyerin thought about her answer and then opened her mouth.
I want to go somewhere there are mostly just girls.
Hmm. Hobbies and women...
We put our brains to use and thought of what our first destination should be.
There is an actual gambling club here?
Hmm... It doesnt sound interesting.
Swordsmanship club? You will like this, Hyerin!
Ill check it out later, thanks.
Hey guys, how about the cooking club?!
That sounds good. There must be a lot of women there, and its good as a hobby.
Lets go to the cooking department.
Our first destination had been decided.
We walked up to the third floor where the cooking department was located.
A delicious scent wafted through the hallway, stimulating my nostrils.
We opened the door to the room and found an unexpected person.
Huh? Its Ayoung.
Ah-young!
Uh, hello guys!
Seong Ah-young greeted us while stirring a pot.
Earlier, Minho went back to the dormitory to spend time with her after their time spent apart...
What a shame.
She was cooking while consulting with a certain yellow-haired female student.
From the way she spoke, they seemed to be classmates.
She was already making friends in this other world.
She happened to be quite comfortable with just about anybody.
Anyway, we also went to one of the tables opposite hers and started our cooking club taster session.
The goal was to make a quick dinner.
Among the various recipes, I decided to try one that looked easy.
Is this how you do it?
No-no! Its better to use that knife instead of that knife. Huh? Hye-rin, what are you doing?!
No, but they told me to scoop up some salt here and put it in...?
.
It was like a vast life that pulsated, and it truly felt like I was in a new world.
I was certain that I would not be able to enjoy such a spectacle anywhere on earth.
The senior student seemed to be satisfied with our response.
Once a semester, we go on a field trip outside the ecliptic as a club association. At that time, it would be much more dazzling than now, wouldnt you think?
He shared this and that information by the side, but none of it reached my ears.
If I had a camera in my hand right now, I might have been hitting the shutter button repeatedly while pointing it toward the night sky.
Or did one expect me to come up here, view this incredible sight, and not be thinking about taking pictures?
Its a shooting star...!
I turned my head in the direction Jihye pointed toward.
In the distance, a sky-blue meteor cut through the jet-black sky, leaving a long trail in its wake.
Jihye suddenly closed her eyes, put her hands together, and began to pray.
Are you making a wish?
Jihoo, you should make a wish quickly too! We have to finish it before the shooting star disappears!
Its just a wish...
I didnt believe in such superstitions, but since there was no need to burn candles, I didnt bother to go against what she said.
Please make me a harem king in this other world.
I muttered a short but sweet request in my mind and then opened my eyes.
Fortunately, the meteor was still there.
Rather, it seemed to have grown a little bigger than before.
Soon after, Ji-hye also confirmed the existence of the shooting star in the sky and let out a sigh of relief.
What did you wish for?
Thats a secret!
Whether it was because of her jolly mood or because of the atmosphere, Jihyes smiling face looked prettier than usual.
That was how we went about quietly looking at the night sky, the two moons, a cluster of stars, and a meteor.
Huh?!
The seniors shrill cry broke the peaceful silence.
Meteor!? That celestial body wasnt planned?!
He left us bewildered and hurried off somewhere.
What is it...? Why did he just do that?
Huh? Cant a shooting star appear or something?
Mmmm...
...Could it be an ominous sign in this world?
Thats a possibility.
We guessed the cause of his sudden departure, but there was no news from the senior who would tell us the correct answer.
In that moment, we witnessed something incredible
The sky-blue meteor broke through the barrier of the ecliptic and collided with a certain mountain.
