Chapter 347
While concentrating on the family album of the von Walden family, an hour had passed by.
Since we didn't want to waste time just staying inside, we went outside to see the scenery of Sagadi Village before the sun set.
"The air is really good!"
Yoo Min-ha immediately took a deep breath and smiled happily.
Heo Yu-bin followed him and took a deep breath, showing off his incredible lung capacity.
"The air definitely seems different in each country. Even in Europe, Estonia's air feels the most refreshing."
"Because Estonia is the northernmost place we've been to."
Song Hyung-bin answered while taking a picture of the fountain in the mansion with his personal cell phone.
"There were so many people in London and Paris that it couldn't be helped, but this place has a particularly good natural environment, so it feels refreshing."
"Oh, since we're on the subject, let's go there!"
Yoo Min-ha grabbed my arm tightly.
"Where do you want to go, Min-ha?"
"The forest that you mentioned earlier! Since you mentioned natural scenery, I thought it wouldn't be bad to try forest trekking."
"Now, wait. It won't be as hard as hiking, right?"
Heo Yu-bin, who disliked exercise and physical activities the most among the members, asked in an anxious tone.
I could have teased my younger brother here, but I told him the truth.
"It's relatively flat, so it won't be physically difficult. It's also a place that many tourists visit, so it's much better than you think, Yu-bin."
"Whoa, that's a relief."
"Let's go quickly. We should go while the sun is still up."
I led the members and walked slowly towards the Sagadi Forest where my childhood memories were vividly coming back to me.
Just as I was about to pass through the main gate of the mansion, a loud noise was heard from behind us.
"Woof! Woof!"
"Oh, wasn't that a dog barking just now?"
"Is that so?"
The members instinctively turned around at the barking of the dog.
Then, everyone's eyes turned to Butler Wilhelm and a dog running excitedly in front of him.
The moment I saw the golden retriever's glossy fur, a memory that only existed in my head shone brightly.
Lucky, the dog that was with me during my childhood.
When I turned 16, he passed away first due to old age.
However, the four puppies Lucky left behind grew up healthy and strong, and three were given to my father's friends.
And the last one was raised with great care by our family.
"Goldie!"
"Woof, woof!"
Goldie, who recognized me, immediately hugged me.
Wilhelm, who ran hurriedly holding Goldie's leash, said with an awkward smile.
"I was going to get Goldie's health checkup as soon as the young master came home, but I was a little late. I'm sorry."
"No. It's really okay. Rather, I should say it was perfect timing. I was planning to visit Sagadi Forest with my friends."
"I see. The hospital said there was no problem with Goldie's joints, so I think you can run around and come back. Be careful."
"Thank you, Wilhelm. Tell my parents that we'll be back on time."
While I was having a short conversation with Wilhelm, the members' attention was completely focused on Goldie.
"So cute!"
"Karis, it's a golden retriever?"
"Your fur is so fluffy!"
"Woof, woof, woof!"
Goldie, who had been handled a lot since born, showed cuteness without hesitation even to the members it met for the first time.
The tail, which turned like a propeller, showed that it was very excited.
I put the leash that Wilhelm had given around Goldie's neck.
Even though it might have been a little stuffy, Goldie sat quietly and waited.
I was impressed by the appearance, so I opened a dog treat and gave it to Goldie.
"It's really eating so happily."
"Like a real doll. So cute."
"Should I show you something fun?"
I smiled as I recalled the memories of Goldie that the 'Estonian idol' had given me.
"Goldie. Sit down."
"Goldie, lie down."
"Goldie, stand up."
Goldie followed my orders without a hitch.
When I touched Goldie's neck and gave another snack, Chae Eun-gyu raised his hand, saying he wanted to do it too.
"Me! I want to try it!"
"Uh... But I guess it won't understand anything other than Estonian, do you think you can?"
"Oh, I can!"
Chae Eun-gyu muttered the words I had taught him to himself with a proud air.
After a while, Chae Eun-gyu stood in front of Goldie with a snack in his hand.
I wondered if the eldest brother would be able to maintain his confident air.
"Goldie, sit down!"
In my opinion, the pronunciation itself wasn't particularly strange.
A normal Estonian could understand it.
However, it seemed a bit difficult for Goldie, a puppy who had only heard perfect Estonian its entire life.
".....?"
"Goldie, sit down! Sit down!"
When Goldie tilted its head as if asking what on earth he was saying, Chae Eun-gyu, embarrassed, continued to gesture with his hand to tell it to sit down.
When that didn't work, he moved on to the next command.
"Goldie, lie down!"
"Heh, heh!"
"No, don't stick your tongue out, lie down!"
"Wah!"
That's it. This time, too, communication with Goldie ended in failure.
Chae Eun-gyu, who thought he had to somehow restore his pride and honor, ended up lying down on the ground.
"Goldie, lie down like this!"
"Arf?"
"Please, just once!"
The rest of the members burst into laughter, holding their stomachs as they watched Chae Eun-gyu trying to communicate with Goldie with his whole body.
Kang Si-yoon, who had been laughing for a while, wiped his eyes and said.
"Ha, who's that puppy? You know entertainment, Goldie."
"I guess Goldie really only listens to the owner."
"Goldie, come here."
As soon as Song Hyung-bin finished speaking, Goldie reacted immediately to my casual remark and left Chae Eun-gyu's side.
In the end, Chae Eun-gyu, who was left alone at the end and unintentionally created a gag scene, stood up weakly, shaking off his pants.
"Why do I feel like I lost to Karis again?"
"Hyung, you shouldn't have thought about beating Karis in the first place. I told you this is a meaningless rivalry."
"I actually don't think I've ever been a rival to Eun-gyu hyung-nim-."
"Wow! Did you hear what Karis just said?"
Kang Si-yoon pretended to be surprised.
"He says Eun-gyu hyung is much weaker than him, so he's not even a rival, wow! He's really bad-."
"Didn't I tell you to stop. Instigating and fabricating!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
I suppressed Kang Si-yoon with force before he could talk nonsense any more.
The camera crew that was filming all of this with their cameras next to us kept laughing because they thought it was so funny.
".......... But, hyungs. Shouldn't we go for a walk in the forest quickly? I said I'd definitely go before the sun set."
"Ah!"
"That's right, we have to go quickly! Karis, what are you doing!"
"Huh? Is this my fault?"
"Woofwoof!"
We barely escaped the Von Walden mansion and headed toward the Sagadi Forest, where the fresh scent of the forest filled the air.
As I walked along the well-trodden path with Goldie at the front, memories from
'I wonder if Cain is doing well.'
Thinking about it, this system really seems to have brought my
My family, which is from an old noble family and very wealthy, is like that.
And my companion dog, which has been by my family members' side for a long time, is like that.
As I walked, I noticed details from the real world created by the system, and it left a strange feeling.
I followed Goldie, who ran forward vigorously, and recalled memories of being with Cain.
Now, there's no me or Owen in that world.
I hope you live a long and healthy life.
'I have no idea what's going on because I and the Demon King disappeared at the same time. No, is there even a world called
In this reality where I live, the game called
Above all, my previous life, 'Han Ji-hyeok', does not even exist.
So, I currently do not know if all the living beings in
I may find out if I succeed in the second grand quest given to me, the complete restoration of the system.
As I walked along, retracing my steps, we arrived at the entrance to the forest.
"Wow!"
"The trees are huge."
The pine trees, birch trees, and poplar trees that were densely packed together from the entrance formed a beautiful spectacle.
The afternoon sunlight streaming through the branches was warm.
The leaves on the dirt road rustled under our feet, making a nice sound.
"This is truly a place that is almost untouched by human hands, in its natural state."
Song Hyung-bin spoke like a guide while moving with the filming team.
Ji Yoon-chul, who saw that, quietly took off the hat he was wearing and placed it on Song Hyung-bin's head.
Now, he really showed off his forest expert aura.
After trekking for about 1km, we heard the sound of a stream babbling.
"The water is really cold."
"Can I just drink this water?"
"It's all clean water here, so it's okay to drink."
The curious Yoo Min-ha and Chae Eun-gyu took a sip of the clear stream water at the same time.
The two members' eyes widened greatly.
"This is just drinking water?"
"Really. If you brought a tumbler, I'd want to take some and drink it."
Meanwhile, Kang Si-yoon was grinning beside me.
What was he trying to say that he was so excited about?
"So this is where Karis used to play when he was little?"
"That.... is true."
"He's using his fishing skills in this place to catch now."
"I told you that I am really not going to let you off the hook anymore and that I'm going to punish you."
"Whoa!"
I scooped up some stream water with my hands faster than light and splashed it on Kang Si-yoon's face.
Kang Si-yoon, who had suddenly become like a drowning rat, blinked his eyes a few times to figure out the situation.
Then, with eyes that looked like a strange switch had been turned on, he jumped into the stream.
"Okay, it's revenge for the unity mission!"
Kang Si-yoon indiscriminately sprayed water on us without distinguishing between allies and enemies.
Yoo Min-ha, Chae Eun-gyu, and Song Hyung-bin, who were crouching quietly by the stream, were also helpless.
No matter how fast I was, I got soaked all over by the concentrated water that was openly aimed at me.
"Ah! Si-yoon hyung, what are you doing!"
"Why on earth are you having a water fight in November!"
"Hahahaha! Get wet!"
As if they had anticipated this situation, Heo Yu-bin and Ji Yoon-chul watched the chaos unfolding in an instant from the shade of a tree far away.
After confirming that the two members had evacuated, I called a truce to Kang Si-yoon for a moment.
"Wait a minute, Si-yoon. Look over there."
"What is that. Yubin and Yoon-chul?"
"Don't you want revenge for the last time at the unity mission? Don't you remember that the two avoided playing in the stream during the unity mission?"
"...Wait a minute. Now that I think about it, that is right?"
The incitement was a success.
As soon as Kang Si-yoon heard my words, he ran towards Heo Yu-bin and Ji Yoon-chul.
"Come!"
"Aghh! Why are you coming here!"
"Goldie! Stop it!"
"Waaf waaf waaf!"
In his desperation, Ji Yoon-chul tried to use Goldie to stop Kang Si-yoon, but unfortunately, Goldie liked water.
That's why it was so distracted by the water Kang Si-yoon was sprinkling around that it just ran around very cheerfully.
"They should get in the water too."
"That's right. We're getting wet again, so it won't do if they're the only ones who are fluffy."
"I agree."
I laughed out loud as I watched Kang Si-yoon hug Heo Yu-bin and Ji Yoon-chul at the same time with his damp arms.
Sagadi Forest, where I used to come and play alone when I was young.
Now, I am making new memories here with my wonderful friends.
