25. I Became a Reader of a Villain’s Book
“Then, what shall we play?”
A light smile for a child.
When playing with relatives’ cousins, the first thing to do is to ease the alert with such a light smile.
Since ancient times, laughter has the effect of relieving the other person’s tension.
“Gi… wait!”
Hana Banhana, seeing such a sight, ran out of my room as if she had remembered something.
Odododo.
Banhana made a light footstep sound because her steps were fast.
After a while, she came back to my room and held a stack of cards in her hand.
“You’re my pet, so I’ll show you my undefeated card skills!”
“I’m fine with anything.”
I wondered what the pets and cards had to do with it, but I decided to move on.
As for education, playing cards was the best tool.
The other half sat down on the sofa, scattering cards on the desk.
Sha Sha Shak.
Banhana shuffles those scattered cards.
After some shuffling, he smiled contentedly and split the deck in two.
“Come on, this is yours. This is mine!”
“Ummm…”
A stack of cards that confidently presents to me.
It was much thicker on my side, no matter how you look at it.
Because what they saw and learned were the villains, this cowardice seemed natural to her.
“Then start…”
“Wait a minute. Don’t I have more cards?”
Winning is a fair law.
In order for her to form a proper character, she must not take these lightly.
Contrary to my point of view, Hana avoided his gaze.
“I don’t know..?”
“Look here, I’m thicker, look.”
The thickness of the card is noticeably different even when compared from the side.
My cards were about 1.5 times thicker than her deck.
As the card continued to be shoved into her face, Banhana turned against her temper.
“Ah..I got it..! It’s not okay if you guess it right…! Kill me..”
Who was slaughtered
Victory is always fair.
I was a person who did my best to knock down even a small child.
And it was a sound that even included the class in front of me.
“Uh…why…?”
The rule of the game is ‘Catch the Thief’.
A game in which the last player to have the ‘Joker’ among several cards loses.
The thief catch was carried out without any tension.
My overwhelming victory without needing to explain the process.
Every time I put my hand on her card, her expression changes and she can’t be my opponent.
In the end, Banhana lost with the Joker from the beginning to the end of the game.
“This..this is invalid..!!”
It seemed that he was angry that the undefeat had been broken, and the pink color of one half turned into a red one.
That’s incorrect behaviour.
If you have suffered defeat, you have to admit to the result, look back on the defeat, and move forward.
Banhana’s behavior was nothing more than a swarm of children.
‘It would be a lie to be undefeated.’
Banhana has only the bad habits of villains.
I was going to lift it up to its roots and try to change her up a bit in this short period of time.
One such class continued to bully me.
“Everything..Do it again! I was unlucky with the previous edition! Pet, hey! Where are you going!”
“Isn’t it over? I won’t do it because it’s not fun.”
“Sit down…! The match isn’t over yet!”
I ignored her words, got up from the sofa I was sitting on, and laid back on the bed.
I will ignore you from now on.
At the action with such a meaning, Banhana was shaking with her head bowed.
“Kid.. as a pet… do you disobey me…?”
Because it’s not a pet.
Before my anger exploded and bothered me, I decided to give her an offer.
“Let’s set the penalty because we’ll do the robbery again.”
“Penalty..Chick? What penalty?”
“The loser should read the book the winner chooses.”
“I hate reading books.”
“Then, I don’t do it either. If there’s no penalty, it’s no fun.”
“Oh..Okay!
It’s working
She said she didn’t read the book because it wasn’t interesting.
If that’s the case, you can force them to read and slap their knowledge.
Enforcement of penalties.
I don’t know if she’ll follow it, but it’s a try.
I sat back on the sofa and took the card she gave me.
“thickness.”
“Oh..I got it, really..!!”
A fair match was never forgotten.
The battle with Banhana started again.
Excluding all cards of the same number, I had 3 cards in my hand and 4 cards in my half hand.
“..to pick.”
I put my hand on half a card with a hand that wasn’t nervous at all.
The Joker was in my hands, so I didn’t have to worry about it.
‘Oh, it’s the same card.’
I have fewer cards in my hand, 2 left, and 3 cards left in half of my hand.
This time, it’s half one’s turn.
I kept my poker face and looked carefully at where her pink eyes were headed.
Her little hand brushed the Joker, and several cards flashed past her.
“Ummm.. is this…?”
Contrary to the previous version, she was choosing her cards carefully.
At that moment, Banhan Hana chose the card as if she had a feeling.
“..this is it!”
A card chosen purely by luck.
It was, unfortunately, a smiling clown sitting on the moon.
“No.. that’s ridiculous..”
There are 4 cards in her little hand.
Half Hana is in shock and has hardened without even shuffling the cards.
I immediately took a card from her grasp.
It looked exactly like the card in my hand.
“nice.”
“That’s a foul!”
He took the Joker without mixing it, so it’s a half-half that says it’s a foul.
The world of winning is a cold law.
There was no such thing.
I only have one card left.
If you pull this out, you lose half and one.
Again, this was a perfect victory for me.
‘At first, catching thieves together is a realm of luck.’
Catch two thieves who only get the same number no matter what you pick.
In the first place, I did not choose the Joker, so I had no choice but to win.
Banhana was holding the cards with a look of loss of the country due to two consecutive defeats.
“…”
“It’s over. Should I go read a book soon?”
Winning is winning.
The penalty is the penalty.
While making such a vain expression on her face, Banhana looked sharply at me and said,
“I’m going… I’m going. You too.”
“What? Are you going to sleep…b.”
Half Hana, with an unjust expression on her face, grabbed my hand at first and dragged me outside.
On my left hand is my hand. In the right hand is a rabbit’s hand.
I wanted to take a break, so I was led by the hand of Banhana, who was stronger than me, and was taken to the study of the Black Dawn hideout.
***
Library.
It is called the storehouse of knowledge, and it is a place where people fill in what they lack inside.
The space inside was quite spacious and well maintained.
It means that there is someone who uses it often.
I took a rough look at what books exist here.
‘Ummm…’
There were many different types of books.
From fairy tales to philosophy books, it is hard to find a book without it.
But most of the books gave the impression that a screw was missing.
‘Adolf Hitler… My struggle…’
Seeing something like this, I fall into the path of a villain.
Roughly speaking, I was able to figure out what kind of books there were.
I said to Banhana, who frowned.
“The penalty is to read one book. I choose the book?”
“Alas..”
Still, she doesn’t seem to be able to cry until the end.
Compared to the villains who didn’t keep their promises, she seemed to carry out the punishment properly.
I headed straight to the shelf with various kinds of children’s books.
‘To make students continue to study, what is necessary is to increase their interest in studying.’
First of all, she has to be interested in getting into the book and reading it.
But, would you be interested?
There was a moment of worry, but it quickly disappeared from my mind.
‘You just have to make me interested.’
I am Han Si-jun.
Don’t worry about that
Immediately pulling out a book, I approached Van Hana, who was crouching on the sofa.
“I should read a book. Are you sprained now?”
“..I’m not sprained. I love books.”
“Do you like it? Then I’ll bring more. There are a lot of them.”
“…No. No revolution, no struggle.”
Banhana took off her usual bluff because she didn’t want to read books.
Still, the book I brought is not about revolution and struggle, but about ‘hero’ and ‘villain’.
No matter how much you hate books, you’ll love them.
Hong Gil Dong.
People call him a villain, but his actions are closer to a hero.
If you read the story, Banhana will be impressed as well.
Be mindful of the hero.
Even though time passed, the essence of the old hero never changed.
‘Righteous Hong Gil-dong. You too, walk his way.’
With that in mind, I handed the children’s book to Banhana.
However, Banhana looked at it silently, and had an expression on her face that she did not understand.
“..what are you doing? I’m not getting any books.”
My arm will fall off.
Banhana continued to look puzzled at me like, ‘What are you talking about now?’
After so much time, when my arm trembles.
Shocking words flowed out of the little pink lips of the half.
“Aren’t you going to read it?”
“..why do I. read alone.”
“I can’t read! You can read it!”
Even though he is the same age as me, he can’t read.
The news gave me a huge shock as if I had been hit with a hammer in my head.
“You can’t read the letters…?”
“Yeah, I never learned it.”
Half-half who speaks gloomily.
Banhana, who grew up in Black Dawn from an early age, would not have even had a chance to learn letters.
She has been a member of the Black Dawn group ever since she was born.
It was Shin Hae-il who picked up a newly born and abandoned half on the street.
Among the villains that exist here, there must have been no one who could teach me half.
The reason she became illiterate was the absence of a teacher.
It’s a matter of the environment in which you were born.
I couldn’t read the letters, so I sat down next to the squatting class.
“I’ll read it to you. Come here.”
If you can’t read the letters, I’ll force you to read them.
At my words, Banhana opened her eyes and looked at me as if surprised.
“Do you read children’s books? Is that really true..!?”
“Really. Shall I lie?”
“hehehe.. There is no revolution anymore. There is no mustache uncle..”
Black Dawn What books did these guys read to the little girl?
They seemed to only read strange books to Banhana every time.
So the kid doesn’t like books.
It was the moment I found out why Banhana had no knowledge because she refused the book.
Banhana looked closely at my face, and then moved between my legs as she sat on the sofa.
“This way, we can watch together! How about you? I’m a genius!”
Banhana raises her voice as if feeling good.
A bright floral scent emanated from her pink hair.
A classy half in my arms.
That posture made me a little uncomfortable.
‘It’s a little inconvenient…’
Isn’t it too close?
However, Banhana seemed to like this posture, so she leaned on me and laid down comfortably.
We saw it for the first time yesterday.
She seemed to have lost her vigilance too much.
“Come on, pet! Read it quickly!”
“wait.”
“quickly!”
She moved her body in my arms, urging me to read it quickly.
I opened Hong Gil-dong’s fairy tale book and started talking as if I was talking to her.
-Once upon a time. Once upon a time, there lived a man named Hong Gil-dong.
Reading an old fairy tale book to a child felt like I was a grandfather.
I felt an unexpected peace in this situation.
Maybe it was because she didn’t think much of me, and I didn’t feel any threat to life from other villains.
My mind was confused for a moment when I saw Banhana who was kind to me.
Banhana hasn’t committed any crimes now, but in the future, Banhana will commit an irreversible crime.
Should I see her now as a villain?
The heart is screaming that she still has room for improvement, but reason is classifying her as a villain.
About her with her pink eyes shining and innocently looking at a children’s book.
I couldn’t make a decision easily.
