210. Family Enjoying the Spring Festival

Is that a veteran or a regular participant who came to enjoy the festival?

Mr. Kim said while looking at the group.

“Those are regular participants. They’re just people who came to have fun.”

“why?”

“Look over there. There’s a child.”

Mr. Kim pointed to the girl in the center of the group.

He was wearing a sunflower mask so his face couldn’t be seen, but he was small so you could tell he was a child from afar.

“She looks about 7 years old, considering she’s about the same height as my daughter. Teams that are seriously aiming for the championship don’t bring kids. Judging from that, she must be an ordinary participant.”

“Oh, I understand… Wait a minute. Wasn’t this festival only for the Awakened?”

Awakened people usually develop their powers in their late teens. Considering that, it seems that the girl was not an Awakened person.

“Leave it. It must be a parent or acquaintance who has awakened. There are many people who register as candidates through acquaintances’ chance and sit in the special seats.”

“Special seats?”

“The contestants are given a waiting area right in front of the stadium. It’s a special seat because they can watch the game right up close.”

Anyway, that team isn’t aiming for the championship. Since they’re just here to have fun, everyone knows that and just lets it slide.

Meanwhile, the paper mask team approached Kim’s desk.

Mr. Kim was momentarily taken aback when he saw them up close. The new guide sitting next to him was the same.

‘I didn’t notice it when I saw it from afar. But when I looked closely, the mask was really… .’

The team members’ masks were all bizarre.

Although the sparrow mask had a cute drawing, the person wearing it was a muscular man and it wasn’t cute.

Far from being cute, the muscular body that could be felt even through the clothes only created a sense of dissonance with the cute mask.

‘That flower mask that child is wearing looks a bit scary when you look at it up close.’

It was a disaster caused by a lack of drawing skills.

I could see it as cute if I thought it was a drawing by a 7-year-old child, but the rest was not.

‘What’s that? An egg ghost and a pile of mud. A picture of a monster bone… Is that a melted fish?’

I don’t know what the team’s theme is.

The only thing they had in common was that they all had a grotesque atmosphere.

The most striking of these was the mask of the man who appeared to be the leader.

A mask with many tentacle-like legs drawn on it. Squid, or octopus, or something related to molluscs.

‘That red color must be for the eyes.’

Mr. Kim thought while looking at the mandragora fruit drawn by Cheon Do-un.

The two green berries on either side looked like sparkling eyes.

‘Are those things on the body tentacles?’

The parts where the roots of Dodak’s arms and feet were drawn looked like the tentacles of a mollusk.

Since I drew Mandragora’s attack mode, I expressed a lot of the fine roots.

It looked like some kind of monster with tentacles extending in all directions.

‘What’s that green thing up there?’

Mr. Kim looked at the top of the mask. There were fresh leaves of the Dodak tree drawn on it.

‘Oh, it’s blood. It’s the green blood gushing out as the monster’s head splits open.’

If you touch me, I will split your head open and make this happen. It was definitely a mask with that kind of meaning.

Mr. Kim nodded. The new employee next to him had similar thoughts.

“Is this the desk where we check attendance?”

“Ah! Yes. That’s right. What is the name of the team you registered for?”

“Coconut Family.”

Kim hesitated at the unexpected name.

‘These guys are the coconut family?’

I was momentarily taken aback by the image, which was different from what I had imagined.

Just hearing the team name was cute, but seeing the atmosphere of the masks made it seem like they were going to hit the opponent’s head with a coconut and make it burst.

‘Tea, the team name must have some kind of meaning.’

Mr. Kim decided to think that way.

“Here are the name tags. You can just hang them somewhere visible. But looking at the application form, it looks like Chimeras are participating. Where are the Chimeras?”

“Those kids are big, so they’re waiting somewhere else. I was going to bring them when the Chimera game started. Should I bring them now?”

“Yes. We need to check the number of team members before entering.”

“Really? Then wait a minute.”

Cheon Do-woon broke the return stone. He connected the gate to the yard of the house and went in to get the chimeras.

As soon as the gate closed, Kim was taken aback. The participants nearby also murmured in surprise.

“You just entered the gate naked?”

“Hey, no way. Is there anything that could kill you?”

“Is this some kind of performance prepared by the organizers?”

A moment later, a new gate opened amidst the commotion.

A giant white tiger walked out from there. As the chimeras began to come out after it, the people retreated in fear.

As the gate closed with the end of the heavenly cloud, the surroundings became quiet.

Suddenly, dozens of giant chimeras stood behind them. People could not believe their eyes at the unbelievable sight.

“What the… Did you just bring the chimera from the gate?”

Someone groaned. That was the beginning of a commotion all around.

So does that mean you really went to the gate naked?

“Who is that? What team is that?”

“You might be a celebrity because you have your face covered.”

People were surprised and curious. They took pictures with their cell phones and were amazed. Cheon Do-woon looked at them and said.

“These are the kids who will be participating in the Chimera division. There are thirty team members in total. Is that okay?”

“Yes, I confirmed it.”

Mr. Kim answered with a bewildered expression. With that, the Coconut Family Team headed to the playground.

Wherever they went, the crowd split into two and a path was created.

Mr. Kim laughed in vain as he looked at it.

“Huh, really… What the heck is going on? No matter how I look at them, they look like high-level chimeras.”

It was amazing that such a huge chimera was acting like a docile lamb. It was also amazing that they brought the chimera from the gate.

In the first place, it was ridiculous to go through the gate naked.

“I don’t know what the hell I saw.”

“That’s right. I thought they were just people who came to have fun because their team name was cute. They were a huge dark horse. Last year’s winners should be a little nervous.”

The guide spoke while looking at the winning team in the distance. Kim shook his head at that.

“The one who should be nervous is the Coconut team.”

“Why? If you have dozens of such chimeras, they must be incredibly strong.”

“That’s true. Last year’s winning team didn’t have good personalities. They didn’t hesitate to break rules as long as they didn’t get caught by the referee.”

Kim said while looking at last year’s winning team.

“Look at that. His expression changed when the Dark Horse Team showed up.”

“Wow, that’s true. I would believe you if you said those eyes were a killer.”

Last year’s winning team is also quite good. Which team will win the championship?

This festival will be fun because there are a lot of things to see. Kim thought with a happy smile.

* * *

Cheon Do-woon and his party headed to the designated seats with their team names written on them. Baek-ho Lee, who had arrived earlier, waved at them.

“Brothers, you’re here!”

As a C-class Awakened, he was waiting in advance as a manager, not as a team member.

“The timing is good. The reserved seating has just been set up. You can sit here.”

Baekho Lee pointed to the sofa. After seeing that, Dowoon Cheon looked around.

The tent that blocked the sunlight had a heat-prevention spell engraved on it, and a breeze blew like an air conditioner.

The spacious sofa was luxurious, and on the table was a set of teas from a famous overseas brand.

The icebox next to it also contained a variety of cool drinks.

“Why does it seem like only our team has fancy reserved seating? Is it because I’m imagining it?”

“Oh, I decorated it with my own money. It’s a place for you guys, so I can’t do anything carelessly.”

Baekho Lee said with a sly smile.

The surrounding teams looked surprised at the Coconut Family’s designated seats.

People sitting in the stands also took pictures, saying it was amazing.

It was a situation that would be burdensome for a normal person and make them avoid the situation.

But in the Coconut Family, no one was discouraged by such things.

“Oh, mister! This sofa is soft!”

Kim Na-ri was excited as she sat on the sofa.

“It was hot, but it turned out well.”

“The youngest has some sense, doesn’t he?”

“This drink is delicious, too.”

The trio sat down comfortably as if they had entered a living room. They had already escaped from their normal thoughts, having become immersed in the Coconut Family.

“It’s okay. I like it.”

“Okay. Shall we play king today?”

Cheon Do-woon and his siblings were not people who cared about what other people thought from the beginning.

They originally lived with a kingly mindset, so they naturally sat at the top.

“Hey, youngest. Come and pay me a debt.”

Yoo Beom went one step further and said playfully. Baekho Lee did not back down either.

“Okay. Just in case, I prepared this…! A large fan with a peacock feather design.”

Baekho Lee took out a large feather fan from his bag. When he gave it to them, Cheon Dowoon and his siblings laughed.

Even those who had been glancing at their assigned seats started laughing at this point, as if they were watching a sitcom.

As everyone was laughing, three men from last year’s winning team approached us.

“Hello. It’s our first time meeting. Is this your first time participating?”

“yes.”

“Nice to meet you. Our team name is AA. We named it that because all of our members are A-class Awakeners.”

The men subtly emphasized that they were a team comprised of A-class abilities.

I came here to take the initiative before the game started.

Of course, that wouldn’t work on Cheon Do-woon and his group. The leader of the opposing team was inwardly embarrassed when the response was lukewarm.

‘What? Don’t you know we won last year?’

No, that can’t be. There’s definitely a scared face underneath that paper mask.

The leader believed so and said again.

“Chimera too. Judging from the reserved seating environment, it seems like they have a pretty powerful sponsor. To this extent, aren’t the residents of Diacity supporting them?”

The tone was friendly. But there was an intention to scratch people’s insides.

There’s no way someone like you could have defeated a chimera like that with your own skills. I know that the chimera was lent to me by the sponsor. That’s what I meant.

Of course, this time too, the Coconut Family’s reaction was lukewarm.

‘Damn, I can’t read your expression because of that damn mask.’

Since there was no response, he felt uneasy. He also felt a strange sense of unease in the eyes looking at him through the mask.

‘I’ve seen that look somewhere… Yes, I remembered.’

My little nephew made those eyes when he discovered a fun toy.

The toy that fell into my nephew’s hands was broken in less than an hour. Why am I thinking about it now?

The leader coughed and told the real reason he was here.

“Is there anyone with a water attribute awakening in this team?”

“Why is that?”

“Haven’t you seen the schedule yet? The first match will take place underwater. You’ll need an Awakener who can survive underwater for a long time. It’s a dangerous game with the risk of drowning.”

It both scares and exposes the enemy team’s capabilities.

The leader watched the Coconut Family’s reaction with sharp eyes.

When they heard that the game was taking place in water, the group all looked at one person.

There was a chimera, number 49, that lived in the deep sea of ​​the East Sea.

‘That’s him. Judging from the fact that I saw the author at the same time, there must be only one awakened water attribute. He’ll be the one to participate in the first round.’

Information gathering complete. We just need to focus on attacking that guy. If that guy falls, this team will be eliminated in the first round.

‘No matter how much of a water-attribute Awakener you are, you can’t survive underwater for long without training. We have an Awakener on our side who can stay underwater for over 15 minutes.’

They were elated in front of number 49, who had lived underwater for decades.

“Then let’s wish each other good luck. Let’s have a good game.”

The leader of the AA team returned with a victorious smile.

In contrast, the Coconut Family looked at each other with faces like they were going on an outing.

“It’s amazing that we’re competing in water.”

“As expected, the sports day of the Awakened is different. It’s something special.”

“If it’s an underwater game, would it be better to go with number 49?”

The siblings said.

“I think it would be okay for Cheon Do-woon or Kim Na-ri to go.”

They’ve done a lot of diving too. They’ve done it countless times when they were mining yellow ore in the ocean.

“Don’t you two have a knack for diving?”

Cheon Do-woon looked at his siblings and asked.

The siblings’ house was in the middle of the ocean. They often dived to the bottom of the ocean to eat their favorite grilled clams.

For the siblings, diving is a part of life.

“Everyone is good at diving. Who’s going to go out?”

There are too many choices for the players. The group looked at each other to decide who would play.
