Chapter 66 – Where Each Other Looks
It was good timing to come out to play.
Spring flowers were in full bloom in Neverland, located in the 15th district of southern Gyeonggi Province.
The spring weather was moderately cool, so it was perfect for enjoying the cool atmosphere of the amusement park.
There were quite a few visitors, but people watching was another highlight.
How many places are left in Korea where you can enjoy such a peaceful atmosphere?
This was a safe zone.
So there are amusement parks, and people come to play.
A place where there are no cracks and no worries about monsters.
In today’s world, it was like heaven for citizens.
“Wow!”
Haha!”
Children were playing and watching soap bubbles dissipate.
I sit on a bench and watch the babies laugh.
There was a lot to see there.
“Heavenly luck! Try this!”
Lee Yu-na approached me and handed me one of her headbands.
An amusement park headband I bought from the street vendor next door.
It was a headband with a pair of pointed ears sticking out like an ant antenna.
I took it and thought.
The reason I like that she is definitely childish.
Especially when you’re with me.
She enjoyed playing with these headbands.
But I didn’t like cute accessories like this.
I don’t like being unfamiliar.
Real men don’t wear headbands like this.
But if I don’t wear this headband, is there a reason I don’t wear it?
It looks like a couple headband.
I wanted to see Lee Yu-na wearing her headband.
I immediately put on the ant antenna headband.
“Wow, hang out!”
Reason I clapped my hands and smiled at her.
She, too, soon put on her headband.
The blue ant antenna headband went well with her black hair.
You did a really good job with the headband.
“Let’s do that too!”
The reason I found a face painting place among her stalls.
I begged him to come with me right away, as if it looked fun.
I hate graffiti on my face.
Still, I wanted to see a cute picture etched into Yu or her face.
I was in favor of face painting.
Flowers were also engraved on the faces of Lee Yu-na and me.
It was embarrassing to see flowers bloom on my boyfriend’s cheeks, but she was satisfied with seeing me.
It was pretty to see flowers blooming on her cheeks.
It’s especially pretty when you’re smiling so brightly.
Lee Yu-na also found a photo zone.
She also took 24 of her photo cards with her.
For some reason, I feel like I’m doing everything I can.
It feels like going back to middle school.
I was playing like this even back then.
Then I was idle and went on the rides.
The management staff welcomed us by saying that a cute couple had arrived.
She was happy to see them as a couple.
The roller coaster was boring.
It was much faster when I used [Raid] And ran.
Gyro Drop was also not impressed.
I was confident that I would not die even if I fell from 100m.
I rode the cliff like that in the Hapi Mountains.
Vikings were just fine.
There was a lot to do with raising our hands and shouting in sync with the rocking of the ship.
Lee Yu-na giggled as she saw me playing hard.
Rather than riding fast and strong rides, I decided to ride slow and slow rides.
As S-class hunters, speed didn’t mean much to us.
I mainly focus on sightseeing.
“Do you want to go in there?”
Lee Yu-na said while watching the horror experience haunted house.
The twinkle in his eyes seemed to spark interest.
I immediately bought a ticket and entered the haunted house.
“Ugh!”
A part-timer wearing a ghost mask suddenly jumped out of the aisle.
Actually, it wasn’t sudden.
I had already felt the energy of the part-timer before then.
She watched the ghost mask.
“…”
The part-timer who received me and Lee Yu-na’s sparkling gaze greeted me in shame and went back to my place.
Reason I giggled next to her.
I thought I should at least pretend to be surprised.
From then on, Lee Yu-na and I pretended to be surprised when a ghost appeared.
The part-timers laughed dejectedly at our awkward performance and passed by.

[Punch Machine – Hunter Only]
900 or more – giant teddy bear
800 points or more – medium-sized penguin doll
700 points or more – mini chick doll
…
I stopped in front of the punch machine.
Strangely, this punch machine had [Hunter only] Written on the side.
Piqued our curiosity.
“What is Hunter Exclusive?”
“There is no difference between ordinary people and hunters. It’s a punching machine specially made for hunters.”
Mr. Punch Machine answered her question, sitting in her chair with her arms crossed.
“It was specially made? So you’re saying that this punch machine can withstand the Hunter’s fist?”
The standards of ordinary people and Hunters were inevitably different.
If Hunter hits a normal punch machine, it will be smashed, so originally these amusement devices were impossible to use at all.
“Then, don’t hold out. So far, many hunters have knelt down in front of this punch machine.”
Uncle said in a spirited manner.
He seemed confident in the durability of the punch machine.
“Wherever, if you are confident in your skills, give it a try. Punch machines for hunters are a bit expensive. It’s 20,000 won per game.”
“20,000 won?”
At that price, more than 800 medium-sized penguin dolls displayed as free gifts seemed to be left unscathed.
“Why? Wouldn’t it be? If it’s over 900 points, it’s a giant teddy bear.”
The uncle’s tone was strangely provocative.
It seemed that he had been doing business by touching the hunters in this way.
Most hunters can’t stand a provocation like that.
A machine that can withstand Hunter’s punches?
Dare to be a machine.
“I will try.”
I stood in front of the punch machine with my shoulders relaxed.
The expression on the uncle’s face was welcoming.
A catchy smile. This was a silent war of nerves between the customer and the owner of the amusement machine.
“Ah, by the way, you can’t use mana.”
“Is that so?”
Uncle said as if he forgot.
Well, it didn’t matter.
How many hunters spend mana to use amusement machines?
“You have to wear a mana measuring device and use only your strength to punch.”
“All right.”
I put on the mana measuring equipment the uncle gave me.
If you use mana while punching, it is a foul.
Then the game was invalidated.
“Wow!”
“Looks like that person is a Hunter!”
People gathered around me as I stood in front of the hunter punch machine wearing mana measuring equipment.
Hunter is an object of admiration for the general public.
Especially when he showed his ability like this, it was a way to give a greater impression.
I was interested in using the punch machine.
“Haha.”
Uncle laughed lightly.
It seems that this situation has been encountered often.
Hunters can’t stand being in the spotlight like this.
I couldn’t imagine losing to a punch machine in front of people.
It would be a shame if I didn’t get over 900 points.
My uncle seemed to be aiming for it too.
This business acumen is no joke.
How do you know that Hunters are proud?
It was obvious that many hunters had tried to pass that 900 points.
“By the way, that punch machine uses the finest monster leather, and it has physical defense magic on it. It won’t be easy even if you hit it with all your might.”
The old man smiled like a victor.
Prior to hitting the punch machine, the specifications of the machine were finally revealed.
I had the confidence to go into business.
With that level of spec, it would be difficult for normal hunters to get high scores.
I already paid 20,000 won in advance, and the man looked at me with a mischievous smile and no regrets.
“Cheonwoon, fighting!”
Behind her, Lee Yu-na cheered by putting her hands in a circle in front of her mouth.
From her point of view, it wouldn’t matter whether it exceeded 900 or not.
For us, 20,000 won isn’t that expensive.
I’m just here to play
But I hated showing my limits while people were watching.
900 is easily passed.
[Hate of non-milking subjects] Mixed in slightly.
It was okay to use this as it was a stat buff skill rather than mana use.
It feels a bit excessive, but I put strength into my fists with the characteristics.
The onlookers were startled when my spirits suddenly became terrifying.
I swung my fist at the punch machine.
Thud!
Beep beep beep beep beep beep.
The punch machine shuddered as if it were out of order.
Still, he had to adjust his strength so as not to break it.
T-ring!
999.
000.
999.
Scores fluctuated between 999 and 000.
I don’t see any way to increase the number further.
“OMG.”
I looked at the surprised uncle.
*
“Now, how did you do it? Even an A-rank hunter barely passed 900.”
The uncle stammered, as if this was the first time this had happened.
“I don’t think I’ve seen an S-class Hunter yet.”
I accepted the teddy bear and said hello.
“S-class?”
I was so surprised that I left the stiff man with his mouth open and started sightseeing again.
After touring several theme parks, it was already evening.
The rides sparkled with yellow lights.
The sun was slowly sinking over the horizon, and a black shadow was coming.
The starlight that was not covered by the shadows rose vaguely, and the moon greeted me from the sky.
Colorful lights spread throughout the amusement park, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
The sky was more cloudy than usual, probably because a lot of mana had spread around.
People were intoxicated by that gorgeous haze of light.
A large number of people gathered in the central square to prepare for the parade.
Fireworks were to start shortly thereafter.
“Let’s type this!”
The last ride Yu-na and I chose was a ferris wheel.
A ferris wheel that looks like a big circle of lollipops.
It was perfect for watching the scenery of the amusement park.
We waited in line and boarded the ferris wheel.
I sat across from him, joking around and looking around.
As the height of the ferris wheel increased, the scenery of the amusement park came into view at a glance, and the feast of brilliant lights aroused interest.
“Cheonwoon, do you remember that?”
Lee Yu-na, who had been staring at the scenery outside for a while, looked back at me and said,
“You came here when we were in middle school.”
“Of course I remember.”
Lee Yoo-na and I were given a special award for good children, and since we did the laundry and cleaning all year round, the nursery school teacher took us to an amusement park as a reward.
I had a lot of fun playing it back then.
I tried all the rides like today, went around the theme park, and finally rode the Ferris wheel.
In fact, it was the same course as last time.
Lee Yu-na induced the same path as if she wanted to.
I just followed her heart.
“I had a lot of fun then, how are you?”
“It was great. It was not regrettable that I cleaned it all year round.”
“Yeah, so did I.”
Lee Yu-na agreed with me and giggled.
I think she remembers cleaning and doing laundry throughout the year.
“Hey, do you remember what you said on this ferris wheel?”
“?”
Lee Yu-na leaned over to me and asked with an expectant expression.
What did I say on this ferris wheel?
What answer is she looking for?
What is it?
I was troubled.
I think I joked back then, just like now, but it was trivial.
“Is the amusement park pretty?”
“Not that.”
“It was fun, do you want to come back?”
“Other than that.”
Lee Yu-na seemed to have the answer she was looking for.
I picked out my answer.
What you said then
Hmm.
It suddenly became a quiz.
“I talked while looking at the people outside this window.”
She gave hints.
“I remember it so much that I really wanted to come back here.”
I think what I said was very impressive.
In those days, what did I say while looking at the people outside the window?
“I looked at people and said this. Wow, envy When will I ever get rich and live in a safe zone like these people? You answered then.”
When Lee Yu-na said that, she remembered what I had said.
At that time, with a strong sense of justice and full of confidence, I said this.
“Wherever you are, it will be safe there. Because I will become the best hunter in the world and protect everything.”
It’s embarrassing, but that’s what I said.
Aspirations in middle school.
She confidently told Lee Yu-na that she would become the best hunter in the world.
“I remembered.”
Lee Yu-na seemed to be in a good mood and smiled softly.
“Now that I have become an S-class Hunter, I am one step closer to being the best in the world. Congratulation!”
As if he wanted to say this, he brought his face close to me and said.
“…”
I stared at Lee Yu-na, rigid with gratitude and embarrassment.
Her lips were close.
“…”
The ferris wheel was basically narrow.
Even if you sit across from each other, you can touch each other if you bend your back.
She was in front of me
