City of Backstreet Nymphs - Chapter 30



30 – 030 – My Lime Golden Apple Tree # 1

030 – My Lime Golden Apple Tree # 1

One.

Two.

Three.

Kimchi containers are stacked on the floor by type.

It was my mother’s kimchi that I had missed for a long time.

“I am going.”

When Lee Jin-ah, who skillfully stacked kimchi containers in front of the yard, is about to get into the car after putting on her jacket.

Seo Ye-rim, who was looking at this situation with his mouth wide open, reacted as if he had melted.

“Wait a minute, who are you? What is your relationship with Haildo, our employee?”

Seo Ye-rim said that I was an employee.

Since this well house is privately owned by a Telos company, and I am the person who temporarily manages it, technically speaking, it was an employee.

There was a time when reporters roamed near my house, saying that they were digging into the delinquents of the 2nd and 3rd generation chaebols, led by Lee Jung-hoon.

Perhaps because of that experience, Seo Ye-rim seemed to be wary of outsiders.

Actually, that’s why she didn’t even show up at the well house for days.

“You don’t have to be so vigilant. Jin-ah here is someone you can trust.”

“Who can I trust?”

It was Seo Ye-rim who raised one eyebrow.

Indeed, the expression of a beautiful woman is varied. Oinoi said while admiring it.

“Kore’s gemstone Lee Jin-ah is said to be the owner’s girlfriend… ! And she gave this oinoi a ride in what is called a nice truck… ! Her hair is as yellow as the summer sun… !”

Oinoi’s story was true in its own way.

But she was also mixed with misleading facts.

“Now I go.”

Shut-.

Chin-!

Lee Jin-ah closes the door of the old Yongdal car and starts the engine.

Seo Ye-rim, who had been absentmindedly listening to the barking of dogs and squirrels as they drove along the road in the neighborhood with their twin lights on, patted my shoulder with her palm.

“What is Haildo? Did you have a girlfriend? Didn’t you hear that? You said you haven’t been in touch for the past few days, but did she make a girlfriend? Where did you meet It doesn’t suit you at all!”

A girl with yellow hair.

And the ordinary me.

If it doesn’t suit you, it doesn’t suit you.

The only place we can meet is when we were ripped off in a back alley during middle school and high school.

I explained lightly.

“We went through C-class cracks a few times. And she said she was a girlfriend, but in fact she’s not really a girlfriend, there was a situation here.”

“There were circumstances?”

It was Seo Ye-rim who blushed so much that she could be recognized even at night.

Anger-.

Somehow, it feels like the ambient temperature is rising.

Ohinoi liked the hot air.

“Ah… ! It feels like spring is getting closer… ! If it can maintain this hot temperature, it is certain that the quince tree will grow well… !”

Beep-.

Sweat was dripping from Oinoi’s forehead as he said that.

Oinoi seems to like hot weather like this summer.

Then Yerim Seo shouted with her slightly angry face.

“Hey, Haildo. I told you to keep quiet for a while… ! Why didn’t you listen to me… ? Are you going to take responsibility if the stock price of Telos goes down because of the girlfriend you dated? No, it’s already gone down… !”

“What do you mean by going down? How far did you go down?”

“More than 100 million!”

The stock price went down over 100 million?

I was dazzled by that large amount of money.

In my favorite textbook novel, Camellia Flower, did the main character’s eyes get dizzy like I do now when I was told to kill and bite Jeomsuni’s chicken?

Again, experiencing it once is more effective in understanding the speaker’s mind than hearing and seeing it a hundred times.

But I was able to come to my senses quickly.

“What does having a girlfriend have to do with stocks?”

“That? Yes, you are nominally a member of the Temple of Telos. And since I often come to see you, I must be recognized as a key employee by the paparazzi.”

That seemed right.

Seo Ye-rim is an idol herself who makes people light up anywhere and press the shutter of the camera.

Seo Ye-rim meets me often ─ It’s the same story It was clear that everyone she knew already knew.

Then Yerim Seo added her words.

“So, if you are a key employee, your girlfriend, you are good prey for reporters. If she dated a normal person, there would be no problem, but doesn’t that woman just look so bubbly?”

She looks strong ─ she said, but Seo Ye-rim said that she probably wanted to say this.

Aren’t you too bigoted?

That was right.

“School violence these days is so noisy. Even if you are the son or daughter of a member of the National Assembly or the daughter of a conglomerate family, there is no point in spreading rumors that you have a history of school violence. Of course, that is a correct social phenomenon, but—”

I was not an idiot.

On the contrary, comprehension belonged to the fast side.

Therefore, to sum up Seo Ye-rim’s words, it was like this.

“If the girlfriend of a person who may be seen as an important employee of Telos is Iljin with a history of school violence, she may become a rumor, and because of that, there is a risk that Telos may be damaged?”

At my words, Seo Ye-rim’s face brightened.

She almost wondered if she would be like this if she quickly reversed the process of spring flowers blooming from buds.

“Yes! That’s it! Hail is also quick to understand! I usually don’t want to talk about other people’s relationships, but hehehehe, hmm.”

I could understand Seo Ye-rim’s concern for Telos. She must be worried because her father is the company she works for.

I explained the situation in a small way to reassure him.

“She’s not a real girlfriend, she’s a fake girlfriend. It’s because her parents are so holy to get married. Once her girlfriend said she was dating, and when she flirted, she agreed to use it.”

“What? Fake girlfriend?”

After hearing my explanation of the situation, Seo Ye-rim changed her expression very colorfully.

Then, “What? You’re scaring people,” She hu-sighs.

Knowing the situation, they must have been relieved that the risk of a company’s stock price going down was not a problem.

“What is it? If that was the case, I could have helped. Why didn’t you ask me for help?”

Seo Ye-rim asked.

Of course I hated it.

“Hey, if you say you’re dating me, my mom won’t be making a fuss by hanging placards all over town! Then the rumors would be too loud! Can you afford that?”

“… What? Why am i dating you I was just saying, I can introduce you to one of our employees as your girlfriend! You’re dating me Do you usually think like that?”

“hehehe… ! I thought it would be nice because the weather was getting warmer, but it was so hot that this oinoi…. It would be like a nymph in boiling water, not a nymph in a gutter… !”

Hwaaak-.

From noble mtl dot com

The temperature of the surroundings has risen further.

It meant that Seo Ye-rim’s anger, fanning her own face with her hand, had reached a critical point.

I remembered hearing this before.

The point was that women sometimes get angry when they are confessed to by men. “How dare you confess to me? Do I look easy enough to touch you?”

Perhaps Seo Ye-rim is angry for the same reason.

I didn’t even confess, but I had to feel like I was dumped.

“I can’t stay anymore. The package Yuuri sent me was moved to the yard, so open it or not!”

Poof-.

Seo Ye-rim took her electric car and left the Shun-neighborhood. Perhaps because the electric car was quiet, even the squirrels didn’t bark this time.

I like electric cars.

It was just unfair.

“Hey! I never even imagined dating you!”

The world we live in is different.

Of course, Seo Ye-rim probably didn’t even hear my last words, but she did.

“The owner of the house sees this… !”

When I was moving the kimchi container to the yard, Ohinoi really liked it.

What the hell is going on?

As she bent her knees to look at him at the same height as Oi Noi, a golden apple tree sapling that Oi Noi had worked so hard to grow had a bud.

“They are preparing to bloom… ! If done well, the first fruits may be eaten before the end of the year… ! Perhaps the tree must have reacted to the hot air just now… !”

Did Seo Ye-rim’s anger promote the growth of the golden apple tree?

There were all sorts of strange things in the world.

!

Jumping around a tree or climbing a tree branch.

It seems that the apple trees have grown in a good mood.

I ran my hand through the fur of Kyeongkongi.

“Did you take good care of the house today?”

!

I don’t know what it is, but it must mean that I kept it well.

As you can see, the hair was disheveled.

Who did you fight with?

Probably another dog squirrel.

This neighborhood is dog-squirrel-friendly, so dogs and squirrels from all over the country come here, and because of that, territorial disputes often happen.

The best dog squirrel Kungkongi was fighting every day with the dog squirrels who were aiming for the top spot.

– Bang bang… !

At that time, a loud cry was heard from afar in the field.

What kind of cry is this?

Is the cry of a dog squirrel correct? The cry was very loud and thick.

– Kleureung… !

A cat that raises its hair.

Soon, the kongkong escaped from my palm and rushed off somewhere.

Kyeongkyongi is full of fighting spirit.

At least that much must be done to maintain the position of the best dog squirrel.

Shouldn’t I be at that level to become the Chief Awakener?

I now turn my head and look at Angangi, the emperor of honey ants.

-Zuji… !

Angangi, the honey ant, was pulling weeds next to an apple tree or clearing stones. Thanks to Angangi, it was nice that our flower beds were well maintained.

Oinoi shouted as he gathered the magical water from the well in the palm of his hand and sprinkled it under the apple tree.

“The quince flower nectar is very delicious—. The emperor ant is waiting for the flower to bloom… ! In addition, the flower nectar of honey ants is a nutrient that even heroes have enjoyed drinking… ! It’s that the magic power is increased… !”

-Zuzuji… !

Oh.

I don’t know if it’s real or not, but it was a pleasant story to hear.

There’s no Awakener who doesn’t like the fact that magic power increases.

In particular, I dreamed of increasing my magical power more than anyone else.

You really did a great job.

“Is there a way to make flowers bloom faster?”

I asked.

Then Oinoi answered.

“There is… ! If you bring an item containing the power of the sun god nearby, the tree will definitely grow healthier… ! It is very good for growing plants… !”

An item containing the power of the sun god.

I didn’t have a clear idea of what it was, but something came to my mind.

There is a 「Fixed Rift」 Where you can obtain the item called 「Sun Stone」.

Those who can enter there must be level C or higher.

Just in time, I had risen to C-level, so I was qualified to enter it.

“Then, shall we go into the fixed rift tomorrow? Then it would be better to apply for entry in advance. If you go, there might not be a seat.”

hehehehe-.

With that thought in mind, as I was about to enter the house, there was a package at the door.

Is this the package sent by Yuari?

Come to think of it, what is Yuari doing?

With that thought in mind, I took the package and went inside.

Took-.

As I was about to open the parcel, a letter fell out.

“A letter in the age of smartphones.”
