Shoot!

 

“It’s raining.”

 

Ruru Kim looked up at the dark sky in front of the school entrance. And she lowered her gaze. Raindrops fall from dark clouds and scatter into pieces upon hitting the dirt floor.

 

It was quite a tragic suicide, but the raindrops probably did not cause death. It just breaks into several pieces and sees into the dirt.

 

Raindrops that fall on cold asphalt instead of soil do not see anywhere and flow. The rainwater flows down the ramp reaches the entrance to a pitch-black hell, and its name is a sewer.

 

Grumbling.

 

With a sound reminiscent of the belly of a hungry crocodile, the sewer greedily drinks up rainwater. It flows and flows so endlessly.

 

The mysterious laws of nature had some resemblance to human history. To be more specific, it resembles the growling sound you make when you’re hungry…

 

“Okay, the escapism is over.”

 

Now how do I get home?

 

It’s okay to get caught in the rain. But I don’t like Oh Dae-su’s nagging that will come to me if I go in like a wet rat. Oh Hye-in will even nag you.

 

If you get wet like this, won’t everything inside be visible, what will you do if you catch a cold, etc. I need to find something that can be used as an umbrella substitute.

 

Bag?

 

Does it really matter if it gets wet? Yes. The textbooks inside are okay to leave out as is. Especially math workbooks.

 

There was homework to be completed by page 45 tomorrow, but if I told you that I had no choice because I went out in the rain and all my books got wet… Then it would be a perfect day.

 

No homework, no nagging.

 

“Good.”

 

Just before Lulu Kim covered her head with her bag and tried to run away.

 

Let’s go. Let’s go.

 

Her familiar face was coming across the school yard. She wears a blue umbrella, with a pink folded umbrella at her side.

 

She was Oh Dae-su.

 

Lulu Kim narrowed her eyes as she watched Oh Dae-su getting closer to her. Maybe it was because it was raining, she felt like it was raining on her face too. Soggy and humid.

 

The face of a person whose homework is a week behind, or… The face of a person who is about to have seven seriously painful injections, or…

 

The face of someone you will no longer see. Ruru Kim asked cautiously.

 

“…Oh Dae-su is crying?”

 

“What nonsense? Here, take the umbrella.”

 

“He didn’t look good. He skipped school in the middle of school today.”

 

“…It’s that day.”

 

Lulu Kim tried to tease her by saying, “That’s it,” But she stopped. When Oh Hye-in explained the good points of her magical female, did n’t she mention that ‘the magic day disappears like magic’?

 

She took the pink umbrella from Oh Dae-su and opened it with a pop. The point was to unfold it while imagining a shotgun.

 

Lulu Kim asked, draping her umbrella over her shoulder.

 

“Didn’t you take your boots?”

 

“There are a lot of things I wish for…”

 

“But if you have boots, you can go splashing water!”

 

“Play with water in the bathroom. Wash your feet thoroughly, including the soles of your feet. Don’t ask me to wash your feet again.”

 

Oh Dae-su was waving his hand as if he was swatting away a fly, and Kim Lulu was hugging him closely.

 

“It’s so itchy that it’s hard to clean it alone!”

 

“The umbrellas hit each other and they fell…!!”

 

She fell

 

That’s why, like when it’s time to brush up on eggs. Like when you pull out a knife stuck in your stomach. Lulu Kim thought that it would be better for her to rely on someone else’s help in such matters. Things that make you imagine what will happen if you do this.So did the soles of my feet. Isn’t it obvious that if you just pass over it with a shower ball, it will be so itchy that you will get goosebumps? She can’t bring herself to do it myself.

 

So Ruru Kim ordered Oh Dae-su. When Oh Dae-su grabs his ankles and rubs him hard, he starts laughing and falling asleep, and Oh Dae-su also ends up drenched due to the violent thrashing.

 

He said to wash it as if everything was already wet, but he did so after being told by Oh Dae-su not to say anything strange.

 

“Ugh.”

 

Lulu Kim hummed his tune and walked briskly. I was a little excited when Oh Dae-su came out to meet him. He also liked hearing the sound of rain. His only flaw was that he couldn’t smell Oh Dae-su.

 

Container. Container.

 

Ruru Kim made a short lunge and whirled in the air. He spun around three times and landed.

 

Snap!

 

“Braided!”

 

“…Water splashes!”

 

I heard something.

 

As they walked side by side again, Oh Dae-su suddenly said. Not even with a jerk, but with a jerk, like his grandfather, who was sitting still, was throwing a baduk stone.

 

It’s like he wants to say something, but he can’t find the words, so he just throws something out.

 

“Oh Hye-in is a club member?”

 

“Yeah. So she only brought one umbrella?”

 

“Yes, but maybe not.”

 

“Yep.”

 

Shoot!

 

The force of the raindrops hitting the umbrella became a little stronger. It can be felt visually as well. Doesn’t the strong rain spread like a whitish fog under the asphalt?

 

The more we talked about trivial things, the more the rain fell on Oh Dae-su’s face. Lulu Kim seriously examined what he had done wrong.

 

And then.

 

“…Hey, Kim Ruru.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Perhaps… No. Pretend you didn’t hear it.”

 

Hearing that, he grinned. Oh, it’s not because he’s mad at me or because he hates me.

 

It’s just a car accident on the head!

 

Ruru Kim, who caught the ‘just in case you didn’t hear it’ combo, which was almost like a taboo, made a decision to save the country. The answer that the brilliant brain of the leader of the Capital Knights came up with was a high kick.

 

Pfft-!

 

Ruru Kim threw Oh Dae-su’s umbrella away with a spectacular high kick that tore the top of his foot over his head.

 

“…?”

 

Oh Dae-su frozen with a dumbfounded expression.

 

Ruru Kim also threw his umbrella on the street. The two people were instantly drenched in the heavy rain. Ruru Kim laughed bitterly.

 

Just before Oh Dae-su got angry, Kim Ruru grabbed Oh Dae-su’s cheek with a squeak.

 

“Now, cool down. There’s only one thing you need to think about right now, okay? Listen carefully and keep that in mind.”

 

“….”

 

“Catch me, you idiot.”

 

“…?”

 

Ruru Kim ran away in the rain. Oh Dae-su was having a hard time understanding his situation, and then he swept the back of his numb hand once. After slicking back the cumbersome bangs that were blocking his view.

 

“Stand over there, you crazy b*tch!”

 

hahahaha-!!”

 

I chased him at a full sprint without any laughter.

A playground, of course, but with no one around.

 

There, two people were squatting in a hole-filled human breathing box. Stay close.

 

It wasn’t something that stuck from the beginning. Ruru Kim closed to him, then Daesu Oh moved away. When Kim Ruru sneezed and said, Oh Dae-su joined in again.Oh Daesu twisted his head around and around, squeezing the water out with both hands as he thought. He felt a rush of blood to his head after doing something stupid. In a positive sense.

 

He also knew that this was Kim Ruru’s clumsy cheering.

 

He didn’t feel bad. At the time, his head was completely empty when he was given the mission to “catch Kim Ruru,” and after he realized that it was cheering, he felt a little stronger.

 

“Daesu, can I hold your hand?”

 

“…”

 

So he generously forgave Kim Ruru for holding his hand. Because it helped. Because his depressed mood had definitely changed.

 

Tickle, tickle.

 

Kim Ruru’s slender fingers intertwined with Oh Daesu’s fingers and came in. Then she clasped her hands together. He didn’t know she would hold it in such an unfamiliar way, so he turned his head to say something.

 

Kim Ruru turned her head slightly and blushed. Her ears were bright red. So Oh Daesu just shut his mouth.

 

If you’re going to be that embarrassed, don’t play this kind of prank. He thought to himself.

 

Then, when the atmosphere had mellowed enough. Roderus finally opened his mouth.

 

“…You know.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“I’m actually⋯⋯not Oh Daesu.”

 

“Oh, you’re a foreigner? You said that last time. Oh Daesu is not your real name, Ro…Ro what was it?”

 

“That’s not what I’m talking about, I have a…form that you don’t know about.”

 

The right arm of the Duke of Redburn, a hunting dog who kills anyone if he is ordered to, a man who has never saved anyone and is not qualified to be saved.

 

Both hands were bright red with blood, and even if his body was drenched in rain, the redness would not wash away.

 

Roderos, who had turned Oh Daesu’s skin inside out, was such an insignificant fellow.

 

Kim Ruru, who naturally couldn’t hear Roderus’s inner monologue, simply commented.

 

“Are you in middle school…?”

 

“…”

 

“Oh, oh~ah, don’t be mad, okay? It’s not as big a deal as you think! Don’t worry!”

 

Roderos made a sound like he had been pricked by a needle and looked at Kim Ruru, raising his voice slightly. It seemed like he wasn’t taking it seriously.

 

“…How is this not a big deal!”

 

“Then who is the person talking to me right now!”

 

“…”

 

“Oh Daesu, right?”

 

But maybe he was the one who wasn’t taking it seriously. This whole relationship.

 

Kim Ruru’s eyes, which met his, were unwavering. Straight, and something, burning with a bright purity. Unadorned affection.

 

“You idiot, Oh Daesu. You keep getting nervous, that’s a disease. Get over it. But even if you act like a hedgehog, I like you.”

 

“…”

 

“You’re always grumbling, but you’re thinking of me, aren’t you? This is Oh Daesu. You’re talking to me, Oh Daesu. Did an evil organization brainwash you and force you to do this? Do you hate me?”

 

“…No.”

 

“Well, that’s fine.”

 

Kim Ruru said that and leaned her back against the wall as if she had said all she had to say. Roderos tried to find something else to say, but gave up and enjoyed the silence.

 

He was simply affirmed. So simply.

 

He didn’t feel it yet, but he felt something seeing into his heart. Friend, colleague, friendship, those words were swirling around in his head.

 

“And what…I also have a true form that you can’t even imagine! I’ve told you over and over again, my true form is super cool?!”

 

“…Very much so.”Lulu and Roderus chatted away like that. They talked about how they shouldn’t go back with Lenggem, and how they shouldn’t go with Roderus because it would be embarrassing.

 

Then, in the natural silence that followed, Roderus asked quietly. He wanted to confirm it again.

 

“…What if I were a man?”

 

A man? Oh Daesu?

 

…My heart is already pounding like crazy, but if he were a man?

 

Kim Lulu carefully imagined Oh Daesu as a handsome man. His hair was still orange, but his features looked a little sharper. Then, her heart started to race like crazy.

 

Thump-thump.

 

Kim Lulu suppressed her pounding chest and said with a bright smile.

 

“Oh, that would be really hard…?”

 

“…!!”

 

Boom. There was a loud clap of thunder outside.

 

Roderus was deeply hurt.

 

—- —-

 

The next day, during physical education, they had an indoor swimming pool class.

 

Roderus was like a depressed moon, hugging a surfboard and floating around the pool.
