Have a Meal Before You Go

< Mysterious General Goods Shop >

Monday.

Late morning.

Boom!

The low explosion was just outside the gates of the Cipher School.

“......? ”

Today's gate guard was a black mamba.

The explosion is a low sound, emitting white smoke all around.

Blackmamba roams the streets. Soon there were a lot of teachers paged.

But nothing happened.

“...... This. ”

A teacher brought a ball of half-fist.

“That's it, right? It's where the new dragons sell. ”

“Yes, there's been a problem lately. My students bought a bunch of stuff there. You troublemakers......”

The teachers talked a lot.

“I can't buy it anymore, can I? ”

“Yes, but I think we're stuck. I also check my belongings......”

Anyway, it was a problem.

It is already the third week, and every Monday at 4 a.m. this marble of terrorism continues.

However, there was no damage to it.

If you smoke every Monday, there must be a point.

Is this some kind of joke?

Blackmamba folds her arms and worries.

.

Echo, who scratched his groin in boredom from morning, asked Tangerine who was sitting quietly and eating.

“Tangerine.”

“Huh?”

“Count all six fingers of tangerines. ”

“Are they all connected? ”

“Count it. ”

Tangerine stretched her right finger like a nuisance. And they started counting. One, two, three, four, five...... Huh?

Tangerine tilted her head and started counting again. One, two, three, four, five...

“…… ugh? ”

Tangerine looked at the palms of her hands, the back of her hands, and the edges of her hands. Soon, I was in great shock.

How come you don't have a finger?

Where did I go wrong?

After counting the fingers on my left hand urgently, Tangerine finally began to sniff. I felt like something was wrong.

Echo giggles and laughs.

Beans!

Cheolho struck the head of the echo.

“Honey, there are usually five fingers. ”

“Jing Ja? ”

“Well, there's usually five. Tangerine has five fingers, and five toes. ”

Tangerine sighed with relief.

“Phew. It's all a line. ”

Echo grabs the boat again and gets hit by another gear nose.

Echo rubs his head and asks.

“And the columns?”

Echo felt like he had to look at the compartment every morning and say something to start the day.

“Khan's out. ”

“That lazy bastard left early this morning? ”

“...... Yes. I ran into Kai. ”

* * *

Khan leaves the house early in the morning, like a group.

Cipher school went on vacation today.

Walk in a volatile direction. It was full of things that looked fun here and there.

[Staff of the Dog!]

[Alien Prince, Cyber Punk Theater Edition!]

[24 Hours Live!]

There was a lot of advertising in the theater.

Cyber punk.

That was the beginning of the alien prince cyber punk. Khan was also impressed.

Khan makes a volatile move, standing at the entrance of the Cipher School, thinking like this.

About that time, Kai walked out from that side.

Master!

Kai was so tall. I gained weight and improved my figure.

It was because I ate well and moved hard at the Cipher School.

In fact, Cipher School's dining levels were the best in the whole city. It's because the association is very supportive and there are a lot of supporters.

After all, a student will be the future of the world.

“Kai!”

Khan greets Kai.

I could feel them growing up quickly.

Tangerine will grow like this someday.

Khan rubs Kai's head in shock.

“You're going to supplement your studies at school on vacation? ”

[Yes!]

Kai nods and shows you his palm.

Kai was one of the most watched prospects in the Awakening Society. He also adjusts very well to school, and these days he rarely comes home.

In fact, Kai was a superior student who did not need to receive reinforcement. But there's no reason to stop volunteering.

That part was a little awkward, but no big deal. Kids need to grow up in a place that's right for them.

Khan knew that the biggest supporter of Cipher School was Chulho.

Since Kai's admission, Chulho has been an anonymous supporter of funding quarterly.

He always did.

He was always pretending to do great things, without saying anything.

Anyway.

Khan was thinking about buying Kai this and that. He was tall and tall, so I was going to buy clothes and shoes, cut off my hair, eat out, and go home.

After stopping by the clothing store to buy Kai a bunch of clothes, I bought a bunch of shoes and slippers and started walking around.

“Huh?"

End of Market.

Usually in a remote place where there's nothing to go to, there's a shop open.

[Mysterious General Goods Shop]

Mysterious grocery store?

“You know what? ”

In Khan's question, Kai rolls his eyes.

[Ah, ah, no. (Disgrace)]

“......? ”

Khan tilts his head and glances at the general goods store.

It looked like an ordinary place. Rather, it has an old, dark atmosphere. I'm curious about the identity of the Khan, so I take Kai's hand and slowly step inside.

* * *

Daughter!

When I opened the door, a shady, dark shop flashed at me.

There were stretches of shelves on both sides, and there were a lot of suspicious-looking things.

The width looks fairly narrow, but the stuff is full of subterfuge.

There is a counter in front.

There, I see twins crouching.

“...... ”

The Khan glances at them, frowning.

“Huh?"

“Customer?”

The twins said alternately.

“What? It's a poop can. ”

“What brings you here, Khan? ”

The column shakes its head.

“No, no, that's what I'm asking. What the hell are you guys doing here? ”

It was Willie and Holly.

As twin blue dragons, they have always been a hobby of making useless and expensive magic tools.

“Us?”

Willie said.

“We decided to start a business here. ”

Harley adds.

“...... ”

Somehow, twenty anxieties are rising. Khan looks around the shop slowly.

The twin dragons look at Kai. Somehow, the twins were slightly embarrassed and asked.

“Who is that? ”

“Oh, it's a car. He's like my brother. ”

“You're a big pooper. I think I just took a shit last night. ”

“Yeah. I think I cleaned up the poop yesterday......”

The twin dragons glanced at each other, their teeth sharpened.

“No, no. Don't bullshit me. You only pooped once. ”

“Anyway, take your pick. It's cheaper for your country.We 'll give it to your brother, especially cheaper. I can't do business very well these days because I've been blocking all the sales at Cipher School. ”

Kai glances at the three people alternately with a blabbermouth eye that he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Well.

Speaking of which, let's have a look.

First, there were small, shiny beads on the sides of the shelf.

“What is this? ”

“It's a cloud shell. I've changed my name to this country's language. ”

“What are they for? ”

“Makes broad fog. About a month ago, a fifth-grader from Cipher School bought a big one. ”

“…… what about them? ”

I didn't feel good.

“That's what we don't know. It's our caution to keep our clients' secrets safe. ”

The twins wink at one eye.

“...... ”

Khan hesitates and points to the bottle of Pat lying neatly next to him.

“What's that? ”

“Suck on that. Similarly, Korean names. ”

Holly got what Willie said.

“That has a very distinctive effect on smoking. The teachers at Cipher School bought it. ”

“...... Why? ”

“Yes, because you knew that the dropouts had bought the clouds? ”

Khan frowns.

“By the way, the beads on the side are vines. If you blow that thing, it'll turn into a vine and disrupt your traffic. This was also bought by fifth graders. ”

“...... ”

“Students who find our inventions, thank you very much. ”

“Nice play! ”

Willie and Harley were high fives.

“Oh, no, you idiots! Why are you selling these things? ”

The compartment is full of screams.

“Why? Everyone loves it. ”

“You don't even know, you piece of shit. ”

The twins pout.

Khan thought, with his forehead down. I knew these twins were full of goof energy, but I didn't think they were this stupid.

“How much?”

Finally, I asked.

“Huh? Are you going to buy one, too? ”

“Yes, this is a cloud bullet. How much is it for one? ”

“It's 20 bucks a pop. ”

“That one?”

“The beads of a vine are 50 dollars. ”

There were also tons and tons of magic tools. Surprisingly affordable

“Give me everything here. ”

“What? Really? ”

“Yes, you fools! Please don't do anything useless! ”

Khan flips his pocket and pulls out a bunch of notes.

At a glance, Kai looks at this and that.

.

“Oh, my Kai? ”

“Yes.”

Meanwhile.

Cheolho was in conversation with Shadow Cat and Kai about his career.

“Kai has more leadership than I thought. ”

“Oh.”

“You know, Kai's in fifth grade right now. They're very quick to acquire. I think we should hold the strand towards early graduation. ”

“Ah. I heard that. ”

Early graduation.

Cheolho wanted Kai to go to school longer if he wanted. I won't come back from school.

“Anyway, even though I'm in class with my fifth grade brothers and sisters, the leadership is great, so I'm close to everyone. And that's pretty amazing. Is it because he's so smart? ”

When I was thinking like that.

Bloop-!

Khan returns with a large sack.

“Oh, Cheolho. ”

“What's that? ”

Khan explained.

Chulho shakes his head and says to Khan,

“Tell Lex to take them. ”

“Yes, I was going to tell my father. Oh, Kai's here. ”

[Hello, sir! (Light, Joyful)]

Kai smiles brightly and greets Chulho. Kai will soon be ten. It was much faster to grow than children of my age, so I thought I would be handsome when I grew up.

“Yes, it's been a long time. ”

Kai greets Shadow Cat as well. And I sat down quietly.

As soon as Kai came, Tangerine ran with great pleasure.

It was a peaceful family. Shadow Cat smiles at such a restaurant.

But...

“...... ”

The Khan folds his arms and thinks of something.

I felt like there were puzzles floating around in my head.

Fifth grade dropouts.

The stupid twin dragon general store.

Cyber Punk Theatre Edition.

And...?

The puzzles were floating around, but I felt like I was missing just one key puzzle.
