a visit to the country
Hot water vapor rises in a lump.
Seol Yoon-hee, who was bathing in the bathtub, sighed.
The day after tomorrow, midterms starting Monday.
I was confident in writing or in the Mana application of ceremony, grade, and salt.
There was only one worrying practical test.
an underwater battle
There were various fields that came out if you went into the crack.
Some of them were set in the sea.
In particular, these days, the Academy has considered it important to develop combat capabilities underwater, which has led to the creation of an underwater battle that was not originally during the midterms practical test.
"......what should I do?"
She was a beer bottle.
a very serious beer bottle
It was also difficult to hold my breath in the water, let alone swim.
Hunter, of course, was more about practice than theory.
If you get a bad result in this underwater battle test.
Maybe the scholarship will go nowhere.
"......."
Seol Yun-hee lowered her posture and dipped her head into the water.
I counted the numbers in my mind, thinking that I'd just hold out for a minute.
***
"Um..."
I was hot.
But there was a gentle breeze.
It was cooling my hot body.
Seol opened her eyes carefully.
There was a gentle moonlight between the windows.
Someone was fanning.
"Are you getting yourself together?"
It was Dojun.
"......father?"
Light from the living room flowed through a crack in the door that was a little open.
I heard a loud noise, probably children playing around.
But Dojun was sitting in bed waving his fan.
What's going on?….'
Seol Yun-hee looked back on her memory.
I'm sure I finished washing dishes after dinner.
I took a shower, but I soaked myself in the bathtub to cool my head.
And I went diving to practice holding my breath.
'I don't remember after that.'
The self lying in bed
Dojun fanning.
a pajama with a pajama
"I think it's anemia......... Don't take a bath too long next time."
Dojun said that.
I closed the door quietly and went out.
And Seol Yoon-hee, who is left alone in her bedroom.
His face was glowing.
"...come on, don't tell me."
I covered myself with a blanket.
I was so ashamed that I wanted to hide in a rat hole.
a gain on talent
The door opens again.
Dojun spoke to Seol Yoon-hee, who was wearing a blanket over her.
"Let's go practice a little later."
"......yes?"
Dojun said.
"Swimming."
***
One o'clock in the morning.
Seol Yoon-hee doesn't wake up children who are sleeping quietly sleeping.
He carefully raised his upper body and escaped through the blankets.
Sitting at the living room table, I walked to Do-jun, who was staring at the screen on the space tab.
"Well, there... .... . . Father."
"Yes."
"The pool that opens at this hour......... I don't think so......"
Does Do-joon know what's going on inside Seol Yoon-hee?
He said he would help me practice swimming.
I told him to wake up around 1 a.m. with a little sleep.
"I'm not going to the swimming pool. Would you like to pick one out of these three?"
On the screen of Dojun's space tab.
There was a list of cracks in Class F, Class C and Class B respectively.
As she tilted her head and looked at the list, Seol realized one thing.
It's all sea-based cracks.
"No way. I'm going to practice swimming here...…."
I'm already vulnerable to water.
I can't believe I have to practice swimming on the beach where monsters live.
I wanted to say no to Seol Yun-hee.
I couldn't refuse it because Do-joon said he would help me.
I'd like a class F, please."
A place where monsters don't live in the ocean.
Seol Yun-hee said quietly, with her head down.
***
Seol Yoon-hee arrived at class F crack.
I felt the wind blowing at just the right temperature.
The deserted coast was pretty dark with night weather.
Fortunately, security lights were installed to distinguish objects.
A security light that lights up by mana stone instead of electricity, unlike outside.
Perhaps the construction of the Crack Management Department was done in the construction industry.
"......there are still some people?"
Dojun nodded.
The deserted coast was a crack.
To an area where monsters rarely appear.
It was also open to the public on the condition that more than one Hunter accompanied the party.
Naturally, drinking duties were not allowed due to the risk of accidents, but light walks and dates were allowed.
"Yes, we are. Let's go to practice right away."
"Oh, yeah."
in the footsteps of Dojun
Seol Yun-hee walked with a gallop.
If you look around.
There were many couples walking on the white sand holding hands.
Somehow I felt ashamed.
***
Shoot.
A calm wave rose over the sandy beach.
Dojun was standing shoulder-deep in water.
On the opposite side, Seol Yoon-hee was holding Do-jun's palm and floating on the sea.
It was dark because it was the night sea.
Seol Yoon-hee trembled.
"Oh, Father......... can you never let go of your hand?"
Looking up at Dojun.
said almost in a tearful voice.
Seol Yoon-hee was holding Do-joon's hand with all her might.
If Do-jun were a normal person, his palm would have been crushed.
"Because I knew... ...."
I'm going to try something now.
Dojun murmured with a sigh.
It's already been half an hour since I've been doing this.
Commencement!
When Seol Yun-hee kicked the sleep with her legs,
The sea splashed in all directions.
Dojun slowly moved backward.
Seol Yoon-hee was led along with Do-joon because he was holding hands.
"Good job."
"......really?"
"Then."
Of course.
It's empty talk.
However, confidence was important.
Thinking so, Do-jun led her relaxed to overcome her fear of water. And, when you do this, you have to be sure.
"You can take your hands off me now."
If you're drowning, you can take it out right away.
Dojun slowly tried to relax his palm completely.
Soon, the hand I was holding was loosened.
That's when Seol Yunhee's eyes get bigger.
"Ahhhhh!"
For a moment, it was only a meter long.
Because I swam.
I grabbed Dojun's hand again.
said Seol Yoon-hee, crying.
"You said you'd never let go!"
"I think I can swim now."
"......yes?"
Only then did Seol realize that she had just swam and held Dojun's hand again.
As if to be novel, muttered.
"That's true."
"Let's try again."
In Dojun's words.
Seol Yoon-hee nodded slightly.
***
With body towels on top of the swimsuit.
Seol Yoon-hee is resting on the sand of the white sand beach.
Dojun handed her a can of warm drinks from the vending machine.
I was a little cold, maybe because I was wet, but warmth came up from the soda can.
"......Thank you."
"Good work."
Dojun sat down next to Seol Yun-hui.
It was really late now, so there was no one around me.
No, even if they were, would they be about 500 meters away?
"But... ...did you know that? There's an underwater battle test next week."
"Actually, I didn't know either, but I knew because Eun-joo texted me."
"Yes... ...because Eun-ju texted you?"
Seol Yoon-hee asked in wonder.
Eun-ju must mean Lee Eun-ju.
It occurred to me that I even exchanged numbers.
Shoot.
The waves lapped over the sandy beach.
Seol Yoon-hee was drinking canned drinks while looking at the sea.
"Hey... ...father."
He bit his lips slightly and murmured.
"Please don't increase the number of women anymore."
Shoot him!
The waves hit hard and came up on the white sand.
The sea water came up to the point where it almost hit Seol's leg and then went down again.
She buried her face between her knees.
There was a moment of silence.
What did I just say?'
A cold sweat ran down my back.
My face fluttered and my lips trembled.
Frankly, I didn't understand.
an unknowingly word
No, did you really say that in the first place?
Or was it just swallowed in your heart?
'I'm sure you said it.'
What should I do?
Seol Yun-hee was unable to raise her face.
What will Dojun think?
You must think he's a weird kid.
What the hell did he do?
"What do I do?".'
Do you think you are texting Lee Eun-joo?
Seol Yoon-hee felt an unknown frustration boiling up inside.
Since the last time I noticed that Moon Ae-kyung stayed at home for a few days.
It seems that complaints that had been building up without me knowing have exploded.
"Suddenly, don't increase the number of women....... what am I...….'
before the subject goes over and over again
She's just a daughter tied up in a contract.
If you think about it from Dojun's point of view, you'll definitely think it's fantastic.
"I can't lift my head...….'
I'm sure Do-joon is looking at himself with a puzzled look.
But why haven't I said anything?
Seol Yoonhee carefully lifted her face on her knee.
Dojun looked to the right where he was sitting.
"...... eh?"
to have none
A jerk. A jerk.
Seol Yoon-hee looks around.
But then, Do-jun came into the eye.
Dojun is about 50 meters away from the beverage vending machine.
I pulled out a drink and was walking this way.
Do-joon had a pet bottle of barley tea in his hand.
"......father?"
"Why?"
"Well, that's..."
Dojun said, showing the barley tea.
"I was wondering if I'd like a drink, too."
".........."
Seol Yoon-hee looks up at Do-jun with a dumb expression.
"By any chance..." Did you hear that? What I said...…."
"What horse?"
A face that really doesn't know anything.
Seol Yoon-hee sweeps her chest with her hands.
With a long sigh of relief.
said with a smile.
"Nothing."
***
When it comes through a crack.
I could step on an uninhabited island floating in the middle of the sea.
This was the place to take the practical test today.
C-class monsters, you squishy under the sea.
The cadets wearing full-length suits had micro camcorders on their necks.
When a webbed fish is caught, the camcorder reads and scores are automatically sent to the academy.
The more you catch, the higher the score.
Seol Yoon-hee pulled out the dagger she was wearing on her waist.
There was also a way to fire only managans on the island, but if you do so, you won't catch a few.
"Huh? Yun-hee, don't you have to use a managan?"
Seo Jin-soo advised with concern.
Most of the children in the class knew that she couldn't swim.
However, after a while, Seo was surprised.
Because I was catching the webbed fish with quite deft bodywork.
"That's great, too......... Yoon-hee."
Seo Jin-soo murmured, enchanted.
Meanwhile, Jeong Hye-jung, who was watching the scene from the side, was unhappy.
He kicked him around the waist and pushed him into the water.
Wha-ak!
"Fool."
After Jung Hye-jung's triumph and turn her head.
He jumped into the water and began to hunt.
