031 – My Lime Golden Apple Tree # 2
Letters.
It was the first time I received a letter from a woman since I entered the training center for about a month to serve as an alternative to crack subjugation.
At that time, her sister and her mother sent letters.
It was Yuari now.
Yua Liga She read the letters slowly, wondering what letter she had written along with the package.
「Senior, were you embarrassed by the sudden parcel delivery? You’ve been promoted to Class C for a long time, but I don’t think I’ve done anything. This is my congratulatory gift.”
Indeed.
I wondered what kind of package it was, but you sent me a congratulatory gift.
At that moment, my conscience began to prick me.
I didn’t give Yua-ri anything like a gift when she achieved C or B.
In the first place, I wasn’t the type to take care of someone kindly.
“This oi noi wants to open this package… !”
At that time, Oinoi showed interest in the box.
While Yuari is scared, it seems she isn’t afraid of the package she sent.
“Yes, you can open it.”
“Biggie the nymph, open the package… !”
Jijik, Jijik -.
Oinoi ripped off the tape of the square package. It looks like it’s called Nymph Secret, but I heard that Nymph Secret is a special technique used by nymphs.
And I have to say it now—.
It seemed as if ‘Nymph Biggie’ was just named for any action.
Why, if you make it a problem, it becomes a problem, and if you think special, it becomes really special.
Maybe that’s what a nymph secret is.
In fact, the Awakener’s technology that I was going to develop had that aspect as well.
Just when I was thinking about that, Oinoi opened the package.
“Ah, this oinoi… ! I thought there must be something delicious, but I was very disappointed… ! This is paper… ! It means you can’t eat… !”
As Ohinoi said, the package contained paper and strange kits. It looked like a small science box, but inside it was another letter from Yuari.
「It is a self-test and diagnosis kit. You will be able to diagnose seniors’ aptitudes or the direction of efficient research by yourself. Originally, I wanted to do it, but I’m a bit busy for the time being!”
I see.
I looked at the paper.
There was a kit that measures the amount of magical power in one’s body like litmus paper, and ‘aptitude test’ was written on the strange beaker and dropper.
In other words, it is a device that measures whether the control of my magical power, which has become C-class, is a manipulation system, such as telekinesis or ignition, or an enhancement system that enhances physical abilities.
Shut-.
As written in the kit, I dipped my finger with a needle, put it in a beaker, and mixed it with the magical water solution. After shaking it well, I sucked it up with an eyedropper and dripped one drop at a time onto the paper.
Sssss-.
Paper that starts to blur strangely.
Soon, a blue light flashed on the items in the result column.
“It’s an operation system. Really? I am surprised.”
Control system.
It was a system that collectively referred to Awakeners who manipulated magical powers to cause abnormalities, such as Lee Jeong-hoon’s telekinesis and Seo Ye-rim’s pyrokinesis.
Also, I heard that this kind of manipulation-type ability is quite difficult to manifest.
“I am surprised. I thought it was an enhancement system.”
Since I like to move my body, I thought I was an enhancement system that strengthened my physical abilities and brought about explosive combat power.
But it wasn’t.
It seems that there was a more delicate part than I thought.
“I want to examine this oinoi as well… !”
“Really? Well, because it’s a lot of paper. Come on, give me your finger. You have to poke it with a needle.”
I also became curious about the lineage of nymphs.
The elves, who are strangers, basically had awakened talents, so they were all excellent warriors. I wanted to check if the nymph was like that too.
“hehehe… ! It’s just that I didn’t want to do it all of a sudden… !”
However, Oinoi, who did not want to be stabbed with a needle, hurriedly ran into the room.
Well, you can do the test later.
!
Then Kyeongkongi returned.
His fur was very tangled, and there were no scars, but you could tell how fierce and fierce the fight had been.
– Bang bang… !
Another loud cry was heard outside the house.
I pictured a big dog squirrel in my head and gave it the name ‘Kwangkwang’.
“Kongkkong-ah, did you fight Kwangkwang and win or lose?”
Shut-.
I took a needle and poked it lightly.
– Kleureung… !
Kyeongkyung runs away in a hurry.
Thinking that my intimacy with Kung-Kong had slightly decreased, I mixed the Kung-Kong’s blood into the solution and tested it.
Then, this time, the test result column was stained with a bright red light.
It meant reinforcement system.
“Kyungkyung is a reinforcing system.”
What do you mean?
Putting mana on the fur is, in a way, strengthening the body of the kongkeongi.
Anyway, thanks to Yuari, I was able to do the strange test quickly.
It’s really surprising that I’m a manipulator.
But now that I know the direction I’m going, I won’t get lost.
I left a tel talk to Yuari with a grateful heart.

“Ildo-senpai said to me, “Ariya, thank you for the gift.” What should I reply to? When is the best time to reply?”
A dark room.
Yuari turned on the light and asked into the air.
“You are a man too. What do you think should be said?”
Then, the man who followed Yuari trembled.
He was Lee Jeong-hoon, an S-class awakened person who made the world buzz over the past few days.
He glanced at Yua-ri and glanced around her.
Yuari’s studio.
In this place that looks like an operating room, there are numerous glass windows, and all kinds of figures and dolls are displayed without even opening the packaging.
‘Why didn’t I even unpack the box?’
Lee Jung-hoon was curious, but he decided not to ask.
It was a luxury to ask questions to them, including Yuari.
Yua Lee looked at her cell phone and said, “Huh-heung-.” He began to hum and Lee Jung-hoon sat quietly in his chair and decided to say what he had to say.
“I did everything you guys told me to do.”
“I know. Instead, tell me how you prefer to reply.”
Lee Jung-hoon was not even in Yuari’s mind.
She’s just thinking about how to send a reply all over her.
Seeing that, Lee Jung-hoon felt puzzled.
“I am your colleague now. Let’s ask Kim one thing. Are you guys marking Hail and that guy as well? Are you thinking of making them our teammates?”
“No. I’m working here to make sure my work doesn’t mark you. You can’t even drive your senior into such a messy job. If you die without being praised, you will only become a star.”
“I’ve felt it for a long time. Yuari, do you like Haildo?”
“… ….”
Yuari didn’t answer.
Instead, she opened the drawer and picked up the doll, which was quite twisted.
She was a Barbie doll.
“I mean. When she was little she wanted to play with dolls. But my family was very poor, so I never had a doll. So she bought it right away as soon as she made money working as an Awakener?”
“… ….”
“However, dolls break easily and get dirty more easily than I thought. So, my favorite doll became like this. So i felt Ah, just because you like it, you shouldn’t touch it easily.”
Shut-.
Lee Jung-hoon looked at the display case again at Yuari’s words.
I felt like I knew why the dolls and figures were left unopened from the box.
And the questions about the photos of Hyildo that were taken on the other side of the shelf were also answered. I’m not sure when or where these pictures were taken.
“Are you going to stare at it for the rest of your life without opening the package? Would that be enough?”
It was a question if it was okay to convey my sincerity.
Yuari smiled brightly at Lee Jung-hoon’s question.
“If I touch it, it gets dirty. It’s better than being broken. Still, when the senpai really became C-class and came to visit me, she was honestly a little surprised. It felt like fate. Maybe that’s why I was greedy.”
But like I just said, it was all greed.
Yua Li said that now, as before, she would be content with just putting it on the display case and watching, she closed the message on her cell phone thinking so.
It must be greedy to reply——When thinking about that, Lee Jung-hoon asked.
“By the way. Yuari, what if someone else rips off the packaging of something you cherished so much? What would you do if I opened that shelf and unwrapped the doll?”
“… ….”

“This oinoi… ! It’s that I’ve been fooled so far… ! This oi-noi is called minesweeper… I thought it was a game where you had to find mines to win… ! Now that I know I shouldn’t step on mines… !”
7 O’clock in the morning.
When Oinoi realized the truth of Minesweeper, he became very angry.
Did you ever think Minesweeper was a game?
I wondered if Caesar, who was betrayed by his most trusted friend, would have had that expression.
“And people were lying to Oinoi again… ! I heard that this Oinoi, this Korean Peninsula resembles a tiger, but this shape….”
Shut-.
It was Oinoi pointing at the Korean Peninsula in the monitor.
“No matter how you look at it, it resembles a cute rabbit… ! This oinoi, I prefer cute and nymph-friendly rabbits to scary tigers…. They say they are glad they came to Korea… !”
“I see.”
I woke up from my sleep because I had been listening to Oinoi’s story since morning. Certainly, as Oinoi said, the Korean Peninsula looked like a rabbit no matter how I looked at it.
Why do you say tiger?
Aren’t rabbits cuter and better?
I think it would enhance national prestige if I just sold character goods as rabbits.
With that thought in mind, I set out on the road early in the morning.
“Oinoi, I will bring you that sun stone or something today. If you have it, it will be more helpful for growing that apple tree, right?”
“Ah, that’s right… ! Indeed, the owner of the house… ! He said that he would grow this cucumber, golden apple tree wonderfully and make sure the owner of the house tasted it… !”
Golden apples.
They say it’s so good for the Awoken.
I was very much looking forward to the fruit coming out.
I was thinking of going to get the Sun Stone because I hoped it would open soon.
“Kongkongah, let’s go.”
!
-Zuji-.
“Today, Angang, you want to go too?”
Angangi the honey ant seemed to be as passionate about tending the tree as Oinoi. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken Angang to the rift, so I felt good too.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Bread—.
When I left the house, there was a car parked in the yard.
Daldaldaldaldal-.
It was a truck that seemed to spread at any moment.
I felt quite unexpected.
“Lee Jin-ah, what have you been up to this morning?”
“You said that. I’m going to go to the fixed rift, but is there anyone I can go to?”
I did say that.
In a class C group chat room.
C-level friend Seol Seol-hoon, whom I have become close to recently, replied, “Unfortunately, I have work tomorrow.” .” I replied.
Lee Jin-ah read and chewed or didn’t say anything.
So I thought I should just go alone, but I was really confused when I was here in the morning. But having a car was nice too.
Lee Jin-ah asked through the half-open window.
“Are you going to Sejong City?”
It was.
The fixed rift I was heading to this time was near Sejong City, to be exact.
Tak-.
Lee Jin-ah, sitting in the passenger seat, indifferently fastened her seat belt.
Then she asked me.
“Have you ever been to a fixed crack?”
“No.”
“Then do you know what it is?”
“It’s a rift that hasn’t been closed on purpose and kept open under control. That’s why it’s called a fixed crack. I know this much.”
Bureung-.
The car started.
At that time, a honey ant roared out of my pocket with Zuji.
Soon, Lee Jin-ah frowned at her.
“What, did you put bugs in my car?”
“This is not a worm, it is a honey ant ang-ang.”
“Ang-ang….”
Lee Jin-ah seemed to be about to say something, but shut her mouth.
Isn’t she the type who likes to talk a lot?
Are you telling me to be bored and bored while sitting in the passenger seat today?
No, thinking I couldn’t do that, I decided to just say anything.
“Come to think of it, Seo Yerim said this yesterday. If you want to play my girlfriend, she says she likes to have a clean past.”
“I’ve never had a boyfriend before.”
Lee Jin-ah said right away.
The past I mentioned was not that side, but I was asking about the past of the side recorded in the life record book. And, to be honest, I was surprised.
From the looks of Lee Jin-ah, she seemed to have dated more than four or five boyfriends during her school days.
They are sharp-looking kids who are good at soccer.
Jinah Lee said when she thought it was a prejudice.
“It was pitiful to see my older sister who changes men every day.”
