It was still a palm-sized flower. Even to young Kim San, it was a flower with an unusual ominousness. Kim San who had been known to listen well since he was young grabbed Lee Hye-Min’s hand at once and fled to the village.

The adults immediately came out upon hearing that there were scary flowers. Since then, he remember it took quite a while for Esper to arrive in the village. It was said that as soon as Esper arrived, the flowers bloomed.

That night, the sight of the mountain behind which was flashing like a fireworks display was still vivid. Even so, he looked at it as if it were passing by for a moment. The words of the man next door were relieved that the society was relatively stable, and could afford to send espers from the city to clear monsters here.

It was around that time that the lady stopped joking about monsters coming out of the mountain behind him. The lady patted Kim San and Lee Hye-Min on the cheek for a long time, saying that she scared them because she was acting silly.

It wasn’t until later that she realized that what she joked about was bad luck. It was bad luck for a monster to grow near this small village. After the espers visited, the government also sent people, as it turned out that the flowers were not grown due to the population. It was just a random flower that sometimes blooms regardless of the population.

The memory of that time was strangely vivid. Is it because the grandfather wrapped around Kim San with a particularly stern look? Or is it because he suddenly realized the existence of a sudden misfortune?

“We have arrived. We need to identify myself, so please get off and wait a moment.”

The teacher got off the bus first. Kim San, who was sitting in the front, stretched his legs after confirming that it took a little time for other guides to come out.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps in the back quickly increased. Someone hit Kim San’s shoulder hard and he fell back into the chair.

“Don’t be stupid. Because it’s annoying.”

“…….”

Cha Ga-Ram angrily pushed Kim San and got off the bus. Guides with him also looked down at Kim San with eyes similar to those of Cha Ga-ram and left the bus.

Kim San was forced to get off the bus as the last person and he quietly took a deep breath. It was all a matter of no great concern. The new guide class was bound to end someday, and it was not known what city he would be assigned to after that.

He might be able to stay in City A while he was a dedicated guide to Gido Hae, but he didn’t know what would happen later. That’s what the system was like.

It was just because of her mother that Kim San came to City A for a guide aptitude test. Now, each city had its own center branch

It wasn’t easy to stay in City A, even if he was a guide. City A, the largest city, was the most popular because there was a lot of infrastructure left.

In particular, Cha Ga-Ram, who hates Kim San the most, was an A-class guide. While being educated at the guide center, Kim San realized that there was some invisible line between C-Class and B-Class. There was no complaint because it was natural that people with greater ability were treated better.

Kim San just realized that he wouldn’t have to run into Cha Ga-Ram in the future.

Kim San, who was thinking as he got off the bus, stopped walking for a moment. So, will he never see Esper Gido Hae? He’s a famous person, so he might come out on TV. The TV is still broken, so he can’t watch.

Anyway, it seemed difficult to spend time guiding like this. In particular, Cha Ga-Ram often got angry, saying that Kim San’s guiding role was originally his role.

With a strange realization, Kim San slowly headed to the place where other guides were gathered.

“I want you to show me your guide ID card that you have been given.”

People who appeared to be soldiers were guarding the iron gate on the high wall. Kim San, who was staring at the large gun they were holding, gave out his ID.

A huge iron door slowly opened. The siren installed above sounded a continuous warning. Only then did the tension become greater than immature excitement.”Everyone, follow me.”

“Yes. This way.”

Cha Ga-Ram made a gentle expression at the teacher’s words, but she stood next to her and walked. He added that he knows the direction. Former guide Lee Sun-Hye, a teacher, looked at Cha Ga-Ram but said nothing much.

Kim San soon realized what it meant. This is because Cha Ga-Ram, who looked back at him to looked somewhat superior. Kim San also carefully observed Cha Ga-Ram, wondering if there was anything to say, but soon his face crumpled.

Did he make a mistake again?

Today was also a strangely heavy day. It was even more so after Park Joo-Hoon left. It’s a shame because it’s fun to chat. Kim San almost spent the whole day without saying anything.

Is it because he recalled that he would need to leave and part with Gido Hae? It didn’t even work, even if he thought of that gentle smile. He’s such a caring person that he might get in touch with Kim San even if he went to another city, but he couldn’t take away the time of a busy person.

“This is the last wall, Guide Kim San.”

“Yes. There are four walls?”

“It’s all to prevent monsters .”

There are cases where the guide’s practical training happened at the actual site, but most of the time they come here. This tight security was put in place because the monsters inside were not killed but were used as test subjects.

“And that’s the ‘Garden’ over there.”

This place was special. This is because there was a space where monsters’ flowers grew periodically in the practice room.

Kim San turned his eyes along where the teacher pointed. After passing through the four walls, at the deepest part was a vast space blocked by huge electric bars. The lab itself seemed to have been built around that space.

Inside it was a monster flower that had now grown to the size of a human’s lower half.

“Uh, that’s gross.”

“I should be able to get rid of it when it’s just a flower.”

“Well, even if I were Esper, I wouldn’t want to touch it because it’s gross.”

New guides who were together whispered next to him. Kim San also frowned after seeing the shape of a monster flower that evokes rejection. It was more gross and intimidating than the small flowers he saw when he was young.

“There’s always Esper here as well. So you can rest easy, Guide Kim San.”

Was he worried about Kim San, who couldn’t smile well unlike usual? The teacher gently stuck by him and explained.

Kim San tried to remember because he was grateful for his teacher’s care.

“Oh, it just so happens. The Esper in charge is here.”

The teacher, who glanced at Esper’s uniform approaching from one side, turned his head happily and blurted the end of his words.

It was also clearly visible to Kim San’s eyes, who naturally followed the gaze. Unlike Lee Jae-Chul next to him, Gido Hae looks like he’s wearing a regular suit.

“Crazy, I’ve never seen him in person.”

“I have seen him. He often comes to parties with my father.”

“Wow, really?”

Cha Ga-Ram added a confident smile. Then, the guides next to him praised Cha Ga-Ram, saying he was amazing.

Even though he felt the uproar, Kim San could not take his eyes off Gido Hae. He said it was a secret that he was working as a dedicated guide, so he shouldn’t say hello here either.

It was okay to keep the secret. However, he kept getting depressed because of the useless thoughts he had earlier.

Kim San didn’t want to show these ugly feelings to Gido Hae, since he was already giving him a lot of comfort. Because of this, Kim San made a firm decision and hid his face.

“Hello, sir. Are they new?”

“Yes. Esper Lee Jae-Chul.”

At that time, Lee Jae-Chul, who was always with Gido Hae, pretended to know Lee Sun-Hye.

Kim San almost greeted Lee Jae-Chul and turned his eyes to other places as if he were looking at the flowers. Of course, it wasn’t a very good sight to see.

“Esper Gido Hae. Do you remember me, at a party a while ago…….”

At that time, Cha Ga-Ram, who stepped forward half-pushing Lee Sun-Hye, opened his mouth. A flushed expression appeared on his face.

Kim San thought casually that it would be natural for them to know each other.

“Hello.”

However, it was Kim San, not Cha Ga-Ram, he actually greeted.

“Oh, yes. Hi, how are you?”

Kim San, who had been wanting to say hello for a while, responded to the greeting reflexively. Gido Hae wore a caring and fresh smile as usual.

Why did he say hello when they should not know each other?

“It’s my first time seeing you.”

Then, when Kim San heard what he said, he made a face of enlightenment. It was obvious that Gido Hae wanted to say hello because he was happy see to him just like him. He is even acting.

He was really a kind-hearted person. Thanks to this, the gloomy feelings earlier evaporated neatly like dew under the sun.

“Yes… It’s my first time meeting you.”

Kim San hid his hands behind him because his fingertips felt itchy for no reason. This is because he is worried that the constant wiggling would make him look like a child.

After exchanging greetings, the expressions of others, including Lee Jae-Chul, who was behind the Gido Hae were quite strange. In particular, Cha Ga-Ram’s expression next to him was frighteningly stiff.

Only then did Kim San realize this situation. Cha Ga-Ram greeted him first, but it seemed like he ignored him.

He was a good person who couldn’t forget to say hello to him even though they had to pretend to be strangers. Kim San, who never thought he would have deliberately ignored Cha Ga-Ram’s words, was busy looking for the cause of the situation.

Then, suddenly, he remembered Gido Hae saying his hearing was sensitive.
