256 – Side Story – To the World He Was in (7)
With six hours left until midnight, the two moved on without delay.
The destination is none other than Namsan.
It was a place that was perfect for couples to go to, but still had a bit of a classic aspect.
Choosing this place was purely Ariel’s will.
This is because while she was looking for the last place she wanted to visit on the Internet with Edgar, she saw the Namsan Cable Car.
It would be the best means for her as she wanted to capture a little more of the scenery of this world before returning to the other world.
The distance from the charnel house to Namsan was quite long.
On the way, she stopped at a cafe and bought something to drink, and it was already already 8 o’clock when she arrived in front of the ticket booth.
So the two bought tickets and got on the cable car.
Even though it wasn’t very late, there were only two people on the cable car.
In that quiet air, Ariel felt as if the world was giving way for them to enjoy a private time.
“It’s pretty.”
“Night view?”
“Huh. It feels different from the night view of the other world.”
As the cable car made a small noise as it reached the top, Ariel smiled as she looked at the endless night view.
There is a different feeling from the village seen from the castle in the other world.
It’s a little more flashy, there are more lights, and the types are more diverse.
Perhaps the reason why there are so few stars in the sky in this world is because the stars were picked and kept on earth.
As Ariel looked at the countless stars on the ground, she suddenly had this thought.
Whoop.
As I took a sip of warm coffee, I felt like I had some resistance to the cool air that was prevalent in Kkotsaem.
Although the taste was somewhat different from the first coffee she had in this world, it was also very satisfying to Ariel’s taste buds.
“How have you been for three days? Do you think you enjoyed it?”
“Yes, it was a lot of fun. “It’s surprising that it’s not a dream.”
When Edgar asked her about her thoughts on her on her on her her time in this world, Ariel nodded her head without the slightest hesitation.
Being new is not always fun.
Sometimes you have a hard time adjusting to something new, and sometimes time passes by in an instant.
However, even though everything about Ariel’s three days was new, there was nothing that was not enjoyable.
A coffee with a flavor I had never tasted before, a feast of fish flying above my head, and a fictional romance I saw in a video rather than in writing.
Of course, the biggest reason would be because the person who was with him was Edgar.
But even putting that aside, Ariel could guarantee that this three-day journey would remain as a page of unforgettable memories.
She took another sip of coffee and turned her head to look up at Edgar.
Now that she thought about it, it seemed like she hadn’t heard him say that he was happy, so she was somewhat upset.
“And you?”
“Me?”
Edgar was momentarily dumbfounded when she asked him to comment on his role.
To begin with, this world is a world he is familiar with, as he has lived there longer than the other world.
So there wasn’t much that was new or special.
Rather, the three-day journey may have been a part of her normal daily life for him.
“Of course it was fun.”
Nevertheless, Edgar smiled and nodded at her.
It wasn’t just lip service from her wish to make Ariel feel at ease, it was truly enjoyable.
If I ever find a lover in the future, this is a cafe I would like to go to together.
We spend time sitting on a park bench, holding each other’s hands and talking about topics that are nothing special.
After becoming alone, I enjoy movies and attractions that I couldn’t even share with someone else.
Even though we just went from one to two, everything that was routine brought us special joy.
“Okay? Thank god. Because I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed it.”
Ariel smiled brightly at his honest answer and turned her gaze back to the night view beyond the window.
As if she was going to capture this huge subject in its entirety through the camera mounted inside her eyes.
The darkness that had slowly descended was not that deep yet.
Since the season is spring, the sun over the horizon is probably trying to delay it somehow.
Ariel really liked the blue night sky.
The sun always set early in Hespania, and perhaps because of that, it was difficult to see anything other than the dark night sky.
I’ve seen quite a few scenes of the moon trying not to come out from behind the clouds, but this was the first time I’d seen the sun trying not to hide itself, so it felt quite rare.
Rattling.
Soon, the cable car started going up the hill and made a small sound, indicating that it had reached its destination.
“I wanted to see more.”
Ariel got off the cable car with regret and went to sleep again. Edgar nudged her shoulder and pointed somewhere.
There was an observatory rising high out of the thick darkness.
“You can see it better from over there, right?”
“Really?”
She was pleased with Edgar’s words and immediately took his hand and walked like a chick following her parents.
The coffee they bought while it was warm was slowly cooling down, so the two decided to lean on each other’s warmth.
Thanks to this, I was anxious that the spring cold would arrive at this time, but I didn’t feel that cold.
As they climbed up to the observatory, a fancy shop selling souvenirs and various items greeted them.
Ariel, who was looking at a few items, followed Edgar’s guidance and approached the fence where she could see the night view outside.
“And…”
At the same time, Ariel was able to see that what Edgar had said a moment ago was not a lie.
That’s because the night view of the city was wider and farther than what she saw from the cable car.
“Really?”
“Huh. “It’s the best.”
Ariel got close enough to throw her body over the fence, and she stared blankly at the endless lights.
The most amazing thing was on the road.
Perhaps because of the streetlights coming on here and there, even in the thick darkness, the stretch of road was glowing lemon-yellow.
As if stars were gathered together to create a river.
“Ed, what is this?”
“That? It’s like a souvenir. In addition, I write down what I want to say to each person or a letter and hang them up together… It is also often used as a promise of love.”
Edgar kindly added an explanation to Ariel, who asked about the locks hanging here and there.
If Ariel knew that something like this exists, wouldn’t she definitely want to do it?
She had that thought in mind.
“I see…”
However, contrary to his thoughts about her, Ariel played around with a few locks for a moment and quickly withdrew her hand.
Even at first glance, she didn’t seem to be very interested.
Edgar approached her with a somewhat surprised expression and spoke to her.
I took the empty cup and threw it in the trash can next to me.
“It’s no big deal. “I thought she said she wanted to.”
“Huh? Not really. Of course, it’s not a bad thing to do, but it’s enough without something like this.”
Ariel, who was slowly passing in front of the fence while shrugging her shoulders, soon turned around.
Her appearance her sparkling as a halo at night, was very beautiful.
It was enough to make Edgar’s heart pound for a moment, even though he prided himself on having gotten used to it after living together for nearly 20 years.
“Well, it’s not like our relationship can change just because we don’t have a lock like this, right?”
“… What the. For some reason, I feel strange hearing you say that.”
It is an answer uncharacteristic of Ariel, who wanted proof that she was always connected to him and that they would be together forever.
But on the other hand, Edgar could also understand.
This may be proof that they now believe that their relationship is not so loose that it could be shaken just because they did not make such small expressions.
The weak girl who always wanted an oath, a contract, and eternity is no longer there.
All that remains is the steadfast ruler of the North, who focuses only on standing next to his beloved and walking forward together.
As she faced her own image in her red eyes, Edgar held her warmly in his arms.
Ariel, who was hugged without even the slightest resistance, buried her face in his chest and hugged his back with both hands.
It’s truly amazing.
From noble mtl dot nete
Even though they thought they were so used to each other, they could feel each other’s heartbeats getting faster just by getting closer.
Perhaps there is no more efficient and accurate way to confirm the feeling of love.
“Still, I’m a little sad because it’s time to go. Right?”
“Yes.”
After the hug, the two looked around the nearby souvenir shop for a moment, giggled, and quickly walked down Namsan Mountain.
There wasn’t much time left until we went to the other world, and all the gifts we needed to take were in the car.
Without knowing who the promise was to, the two disappeared from this world, saying they would come back again.
*
Boom.
With some shock, the two fell to the floor.
It’s not an easy task to move between dimensions, but is there anything that can be done to fix this phenomenon of falling to the floor whether you’re leaving or coming back?
“You came back quickly. “Two minutes.”
Minette, who was sitting on the bed and sipping coffee, welcomed the two people who were carrying a lot of things.
By her standards, less than 30 minutes had passed, but for the two of them, three days had already passed.
I wanted to ask how you felt about the trip, which was short if short and long if long.
“Yes. “I’ve been there.”
“Ugh… It’s all good, but isn’t it okay to feel sleepy every time you go? Minette.”
“Hehe, unfortunately, that’s not my skill. Anyway, how was it? Travel.”
Minette, who helped the two people up, checked the inside of the envelope placed next to her.
There was a lot of stuff in it, and among them there were a few things that really caught her eye.
“It was fun. “I want to go again if possible.”
“That’s right. It was a lot of fun. It would be a shame to end it like this.”
“Then I guess I have no choice but to try. There was a miracle once, so maybe a second time is possible.”
Minette, who smiled and lifted her glasses with her hand, did not ask for details about what the two were doing there.
I was just satisfied that the two people who returned had brighter smiles on their faces than when they left.
I thought there were no miracles in magic, but maybe today was the first time I achieved that miracle.
With that in mind, Minette encouraged the two to quickly unravel their bundle of stories.
After that, for about three hours, the workshop was filled with the laughter of the three people, with no intention of stopping the conversation.
