Have a Meal Before You Go

The night sky is bright.

Pee Yu Ung - Pang! Papa Pan!

Fireworks erupted in the sky, and joyful songs sounded out.

Gangbuk was clearly the most vibrant of the five cities. Once a month, it's always festive and full of laughter.

Gangbuk's characteristic was that it was a magic show that continued every festival.

On the big stage, one or two magicians started appearing. A splendid embroidered flame. Meanwhile, the magicians bent at the same time and politely greeted each other.

Bam!

At that moment, a giant silk hat appeared in the air. The silk hat swirls and spits out one person.

Waaaahhhh!

It is the magician's limit in Gangbuk. He was a legitimate guardian despite his age. As the limit reaches into the air, the cards spill out everywhere.

Pan-pang!

Suddenly, the cards turned into butterflies. Butterflies that fly around the world came back to the limit and became a deck of cards.

There is cheerful music, and a full magic show begins.

“....... ”

On the other side, Moussavi, who was watching, smiled bitterly.

That stage, for Lord Lim, will be the last stage as a Guardian.

.

“Good job, sir! ”

“Well done!”

backstage.

The magicians leaned back and greeted Lord Lim.

“Yes, they've had a hard time. ”

He nods with a merciful smile and scatters through the crowd.

Flowers are pouring here and there. He smiles at the voice of congratulations, wrapped in flowers in his arms.

He slowly walks away from the crowd. At last, he walks to the bench in the unpopular park and squats.

Beyond the dark world, I see the stars on the other side. A joyful world. An old man dedicated his life to building such a city.

Satisfied?

I don't know, but if someone was having fun, If you're having fun, that's it.

“It was a good show. ”

As you fall into remission, you hear someone's voice and turn your head and stand still.

“It's been a long time, Musabi. ”

“Yes, it's been a long time. ”

Moussavi sat next to Lord Lim. Then I put out the jar.

“It's been a while since I've had one of these. Did he say" seated drunk "? ”

“Sort of. Drunken. ”

Lim returned after a few sips of alcohol. He had gray hair and a long beard.

“They say the Guardian is retiring. ”

“Word travels fast. ”

“I heard from the wind. ”

Actually, that was the part I had been thinking about.

The young blood cannot be followed, and he has made no progress compared to before.

The Guardians had to protect many. No, we have to protect it. He's been working for a long time, but he's beginning to realize there's a limit to what he can do.

“Have you decided on a successor? ”

“It is said to be fixed. By the end of this month, I should be able to put down the heavy burden. ”

Blasabee grins.

“I think I'll have a drink soon. ”

“I like it. ”

Moussavi smiles. Come on, boom! and the veil flew off into a blaze.

* * *

Awakening Society.

Eugene, the chairman of the association, looked at the elderly in front of him. He had a soft smile on his face.

“Maybe it's the right time. ”

Eugene got lucky first. After the war with Poriner, Lim cautiously stated his intention to retire.

He has been defending the North for a very long time. He developed Gangbuk and defended it beautifully. Protecting a life is tiring and difficult.

I couldn't catch him anymore because I knew his weight.

However, it is always disappointing for old colleagues to retire one by one.

“What are you going to do when you retire? ”

There is a difference between three years old and three years old. However, at over sixty years old, the difference between two and two years old is meaningless. So they became friends.

“I don't know. I don't know. ”

“You're not going to be farming, are you? ”

In the past, the Templar mercenaries' commander, Cheonan, was returning to his hometown after retirement to build a farm.

“Homeless, right? ”

“Yes, the homemaker. Old people like us, they have an instinct for farming. When we were young, cities evolved. It's rare for a farmer of our age to live here. But I still want to farm. What the hell?”

“I don't know. I don't plan on farming. ”

“Glad to hear it. ”

Eugene raised his cup of tea. A warm sweetness unique to green tea spread in my mouth.

Lim smiled softly.

“Who was the successor? ”

“Garvey will be acting as interim guardian for a while. And Newface is about to enter. I'll ask him to take over. ”

“Of course. What about Newface? ”

“You know him. Some of the kids say they're called flower buds. ”

“Phew.”

Lim smiled.

In flower order, he was an Awakening member of the Gentleman team. Recently, she has grown up in tremendous growth and is close to one class master.

She was kind and gentle in nature, and her plant handling skills were ideal for defending the city.

Somehow, I felt refreshed.

Lim lowered his head as far back as he could.

Then Eugene asked him.

“Has the world changed a lot? ”

“Yes, it's changed a lot. ”

“Maybe it will change more. We will rebuild the civilization of the past, the time we lived in. ”

Eugene was convinced. Lord Lim believed him.

“You'd do it. ”

“I can't. ”

Eugene added, smiling.

“But we can. Are you busy today?”

“Are you going to be busy now? ”

“Let's go for a drink, then. ”

.

“Hey, boss. ”

“Come on. ”

“Do you know what a flower horse is? ”

“How would I know that? ”

“Noble spirit, affection. ”

“....... ”

“Well, what about cactus flowers? ”

“I don't know.”

“Passion and passion. ”

“....... ”

“What about the flower horse of gold? ”

“....... ”

Today's guests are Gentleman and Flower Order. In fact, this man and woman had been drinking since midday. Chulho glances at them with a glance.

Flower Sunny is having a beer! I put it on the table and yelled.

“Protect!”

The gentleman rubs his tired looking eyes. Flower buds hung their cheeks slightly red and added.

“How about flower horses that are just right for me? ”

“You want a pickle?”

“Ugh! What are you talking about? It's the same class now! ”

“....... ”

The gentleman has a forehead. Cheolho also heard the news, so he giggled and laughed. And I picked up the newspaper and showed it to the gentleman.

[Beloved Guardian Decides to Retire Gangnam Magician!]

[Retirement will be slow…..]

[The next Guardian decides to ‘GyehRua'.......]

[Meanwhile, Jiayua has a unique nickname...... 'Flower buds’]

No, Flower Sunny has made tremendous progress. Actually, that was a bit surprising.

- Tendency: Line

-Class: Plant regeneration

-Class achievement: best

- Acquisition Ability: Medium

Despite my ability to acquire it, I have already achieved the best I can.

What's going on?

Chulho thought about it quietly. Maybe the Detect kid wasn't perfect?

For a while, Chulho thought that he might have believed in the Detect Kid.

An Awakener may, under certain circumstances, rapidly grow into something. Perhaps she will soon be on the verge of the Classmaster.

“And, sir, ”

“Yes."

The gentleman smiles softly one day. I had two eyes full of greatness.

It was an honor to have the next Guardian on your team. Also, a valuable servant becomes a guardian. I couldn't be happier for the gentleman.

“What about Violet's flower horse? ”

The gentleman strokes her head. The touch is full of kindness.

“What's that? ”

“Eternal love. My heart to the commander. ”

Chulho blinks. And I turned my gaze to the newspaper, which I didn't hear on purpose.

Pick!

She falls asleep. Awakenings are now given a ring that draws alcohol. You can take the alcohol out and go back to your senses at any time, but the gentleman left her alone.

The gentleman slowly holds his beer in his hand.

Drum-

In the meantime, a new guest has arrived. Cheolho turned his gaze on the new customers.

And I smiled.

“Welcome. ”

It was the magician and Eugene.

“Oh, you're here. ”

The gentleman rises from his seat and bows.

“You were here first, right? I was going to find him anyway. ”

“I'll find him. ”

“Sit down, relax. ”

“Isn't Flower Sunny like that again today? ”

Eugene asks. The gentleman grins bitterly.

“About half a year ago, that's what the fort does sometimes. Oh, just a livestock badge today, of course. ”

“Yes."

Eugene takes off his coat and covers his back.

The gentleman drank a beer and said,

“At that time, I almost died. ”

Right away.

It seemed to speak of the last invasion of the early Demon King.

Together, the 2nd Monster Invasion.

The war that day was intense and caused many casualties. The Guardians, of course, fought on the front lines.

The gentleman was surrounded there by five of the world's finest spirits.

He was dying, actually. Perhaps, Flower Sunny woke up to see himself like that.

A huge vine formed all over the place and blocked the left front line by herself. Thanks to this, there are few casualties on the left side of the front.

The action of that day was dazzling. Because of this, she was promoted after the war and began to be discussed as a candidate for the next guardian.

Of course.

Born mild and fragile, she seems to have remained a little traumatized that day.

Twitch!

The sleeping flower rose suddenly. Then I looked around to the left and right.

“Yes, sir! Commander! You can't die! ”

The gentleman wakes up, flashing her up.

“I won't die. I can't die anxious about you. ”

He holds her in his arms and nods at the two old men.

“You can tell me more at the association. I'll do my best to help. ”

“Yes, I should. ”

Eugene smiled bitterly.

Two men and women are gone, and two old people and Chulho are left in the diner.

The older you get, the less you talk. Old friends, in fact, don't really need to talk. It's just a matter of time before we can talk.

Chulho listened to them quietly.

“You've been busy. ”

“I was distracted. Turns out, she's still a little young, but she's only got gray hair. ”

Eugene raised his glass. Pick up a peanut from a simple spin and put it in your mouth.

The liquor tastes pretty good today.

A generation of people who have lived together have retired, and are now away from the field.

An age of peace.

An imperfect peace, but the world is safer now than ever.

Maybe he's jealous of his comrade leaving when he claps.

It is the inheritance of the next generation, which is perfected by new blood.

“What do you want to do when you retire? ”

Eugene asked.

“I'm thinking of continuing with the magic group. ”

At the magician's words, Eugene smiled.

“Really?"

“What do you want to live for? ”

This time, Limitless asked.

Eugene closed his eyes and replied with a playful smile.

I said, "I'll try farming later if it comes to that. ”

“Come on. You think farming is easy? ”

“The heavenly bodies say that the soil nowadays is only as good as planting something. His field is full of weeds. ”

“Very good. Very good. ”

“Or let's go on a trip. ”

“Are you trying to kill me?”

“You've lived long enough, right? ”

The two old men spoke of Doran.

Chulho closed his eyes, pretending to see the newspaper.

They once dreamed of a boy.

In a boy full of courage, he becomes an adult on his own.

Furthermore, it will be persecuted and will be firmly established in the temptations of the world.

If I knew the will of heaven, I lived half my life.

And if we understand the world's logic, it is proof that we have reached the age of sixty.

But they always have dreams.

Just as Chulho wanted to live normally, they were talking about stealing his dream.

I don't want to interrupt.

The old man's dream, as they say.

The End
