My Girlfriend Is a Shaman - My Girlfriend Is a Shaman chapter 41
41 – Past Life Experience #3
The eyes of Sarah, who was wearing a wing suit, met my eyes. She was momentarily taken aback when she saw Sarah’s appearance suddenly changed to that of a fairy.
What happens if he doesn’t recognize me?
Or is it that they don’t recognize me like other people in the dream?
Fortunately, nothing like that happened.
Sera recognized me properly.
“Jinwoo! You were right in front of me? I was looking for you.”
Sarah hesitated and waved her hand happily toward me as I stood there.
I asked Sarah just in case.
“You remember me, right?”
“Of course I remember. It’s just a dream. There’s no way I can forget.”
“I wondered what if I had a past life experience and the person completely changed… By the way, the clothes are really pretty.”
As I pointed to her wing suit, Sarah smiled and nodded her head. Even from Sarah’s perspective, it seemed like she really liked the winged outfit she was wearing. Her winged clothes, with mysterious fabric floating around her body, seemed like a work of art.
“It’s really pretty, isn’t it? I’m glad I had a past life experience with you. I’ve only seen clothes like this in children’s books.”
“In her previous life, she was a princess of heaven, but maybe she was a fairy? The winged outfit is pretty.”
It was a time when Sarah and I were chatting and flirting.
One of the maids spoke to Sarah with a puzzled expression.
“Um… Princess Eunryeong. May I ask who you are talking to right now…?”
The maids that Sera dragged out looked around her with puzzled expressions. In the streets, people were still bowing, and soldiers were still bowing. I was the only one standing fine among the crowd, but the maids did not recognize me.
“Can’t you see over there? I’m talking to Jinwoo.”
“Guilguo Lu? What kind of person is Guiguo Lu?”
“Huh…?”
The moment Sarah told me my name, her maid’s voice turned into a strange voice. It was as if she was reading garbled text out loud when the game crashed. Still, the people in my dream could not interact with me normally.
“I’m not saying anything, it’s Jinwoo Kim.”
“Do you mean Gumgiro?”
“Try to pronounce it correctly.”
Sera was able to interact with the maids. Because this was Sarah’s dream that recreated her past life. My guess has become somewhat more certain. I spoke to Sarah, who was having a conversation with her maid.
“Sera. No matter how much I say to that person, it won’t be of any use.”
“Why?”
“I feel like a bug in this dream. No one else can recognize me except you.”
I told Sarah my guesses. If I assume this past life dream was a game, then I guess it’s like a bug. A character that didn’t exist before appeared in the game, but there was no way that normal gameplay was possible.
“…So it’s a bug.”
“Aha! That seems plausible. I thought you could do it through talking to people.”
Sarah nodded her head as if she understood what I was saying, and then she spoke to the maid again.
“What’s your name?”
“It’s called Okchun.”
“Yes, it’s Okchun. There’s nothing to worry about. I was just talking to myself for fun.”

“Ho, were you talking to yourself…?”
“I said I was talking to myself.”
“I understand!”
Sarah appropriately explained that her conversation so far was just to herself. The time we spent talking was quite long to say that I was just talking to myself. However, the maid named Ok-chun nodded her head without saying anything in particular.
Sarah seemed to find it amusing to see her maid looking flustered, so she burst into laughter.
Why?
I had a slight feeling that Sarah would have looked like that in her past life as well.
“Okchun. Now I’m going back to Sobyeolgung.”
“Huh? Didn’t you say there was someone you needed to find at the Seongwan?”
“It’s okay because I found that person. He was right in front of me. He’s someone you can’t see.”
“What are you saying…?”
“Don’t worry about it.”
“Ah, I understand.”
It turned out that the reason Sarah went out of the palace was to look for me. Sarah and I were looking for each other and eventually ran into each other in front of the palace. I met him in a dream after wandering around for a day. I felt welcome.
“Jinwoo, come quickly before the door closes.”
“I’ll go. Please show me around the house.”
“I can take you on a tour, but my house is a bit big.”
Sera entered the palace. As Sarah entered, the people who were lying down slowly got up. I was able to enter the palace before the door closed.
*
The palace was spacious. I could see the palace where Sarah lived in her previous life. A tiled roof in the shape of the character 八, overflowing with her elegance, covered the temple.
Altar.
A pond with floating lotus flowers and a gorgeously decorated pavilion.
In addition, there are buildings where maids work.
All the buildings of the palace were floating on clouds. I was curious about what kind of creatures lived in the pond above the clouds. When I saw it in person, I saw golden carp swimming in the water.
“In your past life, were you raising carp in a pond?”
“I guess so. Carp means an animal that brings good luck. Perhaps they were raising it as if they were hanging a picture of a carp?”
“The scale is a bit big.”
Instead of hanging a picture of a carp, would you build your own pond and raise carp? Like a princess, the scale was large in a small place. Of course, this was just a guess. Sera also didn’t know exactly what was in the palace.
Sarah said, shrugging her shoulders.
“It’s just a guess. I don’t know much about palaces either. This is my past life, but my memories haven’t come back.”
“Are you saying you don’t remember living as a princess?”
“Yes. If I had remembered, I would have explained it in detail. I don’t even know what I was doing here in my past life.”
“Did you say your name in your past life was Eun-ryeong?”
“You’re probably right, Eun-ryeong. People were calling me that.”
Granddaughter of the Jade Emperor.
Eunryeong.
That was Sarah’s past life. Sarah couldn’t recall any memories of her past life. Although she felt a little sad, she was okay.
Thanks to you, we were able to see the palace of heaven. What kind of man or woman in the world could fall asleep at home and then go see the palace? She could go have fun without paying a penny.
“Let’s look around some more. I’m curious about this place.”
“I’m curious too.”
Sarah and I spent time together looking around the palace.
*
As we looked around the palace and played, night fell before we knew it.
A round full moon appeared in the darkened celestial sky.
“The moon rises here too.”
“But it seems like the moon is a bit closer.”
The moon rose at night even in the city above the clouds. The moon was much larger than when seen from Seoul. Perhaps because it was in the sky, the moon felt very close. Of course, no matter how close we got, the distance from the moon was so far that we couldn’t walk.
Sarah and I went into the palace and looked at the moon. When I opened the window of the main building and looked at the moon, the scenery was so elegant that I wanted to hum a song. Unlike the sky I saw in Seoul, the stars dotted in the sky twinkled vividly.
“Wow, I really want to take a picture and take it home.”
“Really… It’s a shame it was a dream.”
I did have a cell phone in my jeans pocket. Even if I took a picture, it was clear that it wouldn’t be saved when I woke up from my dream. As we watched the moon, we left the visible scenery as a memory.
There was a quiet silence.
Sera, who was looking at the moon, spoke to me.
“Jinwoo, do you know that?”
“What is it?”
“I think I can fly.”
I looked at Sarah. If this had been real, she would have been worried that her childhood friend’s head had gone crazy, but not in her dream.
Sera was now wearing her wing clothes.
“Can you see the wing clothes?”
“Uh…”
Sera pointed with her finger at the wing clothes she was wearing.
‘Wing clothes’
This is the clothing worn by fairies in legends and fairy tales. As the name of wing clothes suggests, fairies could fly anywhere when they wore wing clothes. That meant that Sarah could fly now.
“…Can you fly too?”
“Try it now. Now that I’m dressed, I think I can get a feel for how to fly.”
Sarah jumped in her place a few times as if she was remembering her lost senses. She didn’t have to wait that long. Sarah’s body floated in front of me. Before she knew it, Sarah’s feet were no longer touching the shrine.
“Oh, oh oh…”
I was so startled that I almost fell.
My childhood friend was flying.
No matter how much it was a dream, it was an unrealistic sight.
“You’re really flying, aren’t you? Is this a wing suit?”
“Heh.”
Sarah flew down the hallway of her palace with a leisurely smile. Just as a bird can fly instinctively, she was able to fly even though no one taught her, even though she was wearing wings.
“How are you flying?”
“It’s… It’s a little hard to explain in words. I just tried to fly, and I was able to fly as if I could breathe.”
“It doesn’t make sense.”
“It must be the power of the wing suit.”
Sarah didn’t end her flight by flying inside her building. She flew out the window she had left open to watch the moon.
This was the third floor of the palace.
Sarah, who was smiling, held out her hand to me from outside her window. What are you asking for? She did and she wondered, but she didn’t mean it that way. Sarah’s hand twitched in the air. She seemed to be telling me to take her hand.
“…Are you really going to fly with me?’
“Yes.”
If I hold her hand, will we be able to fly together?
I wanted to try it once.
I immediately grabbed Sarah’s hand and jumped out of her window.
“Ugh.”
My body, which was supposed to fall vertically, floated up.
I don’t know what happened, but now I was flying in the sky too.
“What? Why can I fly?”
“Don’t you remember the story of the fairy and the woodcutter? You said that the fairy there grabbed the children and flew into the sky. I guess if you hold a person wearing a wing suit, the person you catch can also fly. This makes it clear.”
You mean the story of the fairy and the woodcutter?
It was a traditional fairy tale I read as a child.
In the fairy tale, the fairy took her children with her when she ascended to the sky. Dressed in her wings, the fairy had the power to levitate her children in the air. She seemed to have the power to levitate anything she touched, considering descriptions such as ‘she grabbed the children’ or ‘she carried one child on her back’. She succeeded in recreating the scene Sarah had seen illustrated in the fairy tale.
“Wow….”
I looked at the ground in a cold sweat.
I have experienced falling in my dreams, but this was my first experience of flying.
“hehehe.”
When Sarah saw me like that, she burst out laughing. I could believe it because she looked relaxed even while flying in the sky.
“Jinwoo, let’s go for a walk outside.”
Sera held my hand and moved it in the air. I was led by Sarah and we took a walk in the air together. We left the palace and flew freely over the city.
A night with a full moon.
The scenery on the ground illuminated by moonlight was clearly visible to my eyes.
In the city built on the clouds, people walked around with lights on even at night.
We took a walk holding hands while looking at the night view.
The scenery was so dreamy that you thought you were dreaming.
I saw Sarah holding my hand. I felt the texture of intertwined fingers. The floating fabric fluttered softly as if it were covering a wing coat.
My heart was pounding.
I felt like I would never forget the scenery of this day.
