Christmas Event (Part 2)
“So, you’re saying Mi-seong isn’t here?”
“Sigh… She went to see a friend in Seoul on that day, and since then there’s been no contact.”
“Haa. Who did she go to see?”
“Kang-mi, right? She went to see her.”
It just so happened that she went out to play on the day everything went crazy.
Even though she went out to play, on the day this crazy situation occurred.
“Still, you’re safe, and Kang-mi is safe too, right?”
“Of course! Mom, don’t worry too much. Kang-mi will definitely be fine.”
“I don’t worry. She’s just like you, she’ll be walking around fine.”
But Mom’s expression when saying that was one of “I’m worried about you.”
Of course, I also worry about my sister.
But what can I do right now?
I have no choice but to believe that my sister is fine.
Perhaps…
With her class and super strong, maybe she’s coming down to Daegu right now.
“Then, is Dad at D-Land now?”
“Yeah. He said he had to go there, even though he would rather stay home.”
“Aigoo. Don’t be like that.”
Mom seemed not to like Dad going to D-Land where the Christmas event is held.
Of course, she would worry.
Outside, who knows what monsters are there, and there are weird people too, so of course.
But I understood why Dad chose that.
Right now, even without good items, we can endure, but later, who knows what will happen.
Since we don’t know what monsters will appear or what situations will arise, acquiring good items is important.
“I should go to D-Land too.”
“You too? How long have you been here? Just rest here a bit. The young lady should rest too, right?”
“It’s not just us here. My students came with me too.”
“They went to D-Land?”
“Yeah.”
Now that I’ve confirmed Mom and Dad are safe, I should head to D-Land to participate in the event.
It was already quite late, so getting good items might be difficult, but not participating is worse, right?
“Yeah. Go get your Dad then.”
“Got it. Don’t worry.”
Mom sent me off coolly, but her expression showed she was worried inside.
‘I feel a bit worried about Mom.’
Since Mom being alone at home was concerning, I summoned a monster.
Whoa!
Medusa suddenly appeared in front of me, startling Mom.
Mom, not only Mom, but Elena also had a bewildered expression.
“Oh? Where am I?”
Medusa, with her snakes writhing, said while looking around the house scenery.
‘Can I trust this guy?’
Honestly, I didn’t believe in her much.
But since she was stronger than other monsters and seemed controllable, I summoned her.
“Honey~ What’s the matter?”
“Honey? Mom might misunderstand.”
“Oh? Oh my! Hello.”
“Hey, stop it.”
Medusa, enjoying the teasing, approached Mom in a friendly way instead of just joking.
“Ma’am~ I am Medusa, who has made a promise with Min-seong oppa.”
“Min-seong. What is this?”
“Mom! No! Really no!”
No, even if so, this is a bit too much.
The actions of this monster were so human-like that it was unbelievable.
“Hic… Oppa. No way.”
“Hey! Stop it for real!”
“Hic… I’m fine, but… our baby in my belly is…”
“Min… Min-seong? You don’t mean?! Aigoo, you bastard!”
“…….”
Medusa’s words left me speechless.
Just as I was about to get angry in my heart, Medusa noticed my expression and honestly said it was all a joke.
Mom still looked a bit suspicious, but it was fortunate that she said it honestly.
“While we’re out, please take care of Mom.”
“Got it. Honey.”
“Don’t call me honey.”
I don’t know why this is happening.
Is it that fun to tease me?
Haa.
“Then I’ll go.”
“Be careful.”
“Got it. Let’s go, Elena.”
“Ah. Yes.”
Leaving the somewhat unreliable Medusa outside, we exited the house.
Well, big trouble won’t happen, but you never know.
If anything, we can check the house situation through Medusa, so it’s not that bad.
“Shall we go?”
The distance to D-Land is quite far, and with no car now, I was pondering how to get there.
‘If I run, it won’t take long.’
But since it’s already late, going a bit earlier won’t make much difference.
So, to go slowly, I walked to D-Land while chatting with Elena.
Then, at that moment!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“What is this?!”
A loud explosion sound echoing from somewhere.
The source of the sound was, of course, D-Land.
‘What’s going on?’
It’s the place where the event is happening, but I can’t say monsters won’t come out.
When we did the treasure hunt event last time, monsters that were hard to handle came out, and rules changed midway, causing dangerous situations.
‘I can’t go slowly?’
If I go slowly, I don’t know what will happen to Dad and the kids.
But with Elena, I can’t run wildly.
“Excuse me for a moment?”
“Yes? What?”
“I think we need to go a bit faster.”
“Yes. But what are you trying to do…”
Whoosh!
Elena allowed it, and I immediately pulled her close and ran at full speed towards D-Land.
“Kyaak~”
Elena was surprised because I pulled her hurriedly.
It was a bit sorry, but in this urgent situation where I don’t know what happened at D-Land, I couldn’t think of anything else.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even now, loud explosions were echoing from the direction of D-Land.
“Huff! Huff! Huff!”
I ran at full speed to D-Land.
Now I had an incredible speed that made me not even human.
Before long, we arrived in front of D-Land’s entrance.
Upon arriving at the entrance, I set Elena down and looked around.
‘What’s going on here…’
Just as I was looking at what caused the explosion.
Something quickly passed in front of my eyes.
Swoosh~
“Eh?”
Something passing in front of my eyes.
I tilted my head in confusion and looked, and it was a snowman riding a ski, quickly circling around.
Christmas Event
📍 Location: D-Land
🎁 Reward: Lucky Tickets & Gifts from Santa
“Snowman?”
Not just a snowman, but a living one skiing around.
And after that snowman passed, a bit of time passed.
“Catch that guy!”
“Huff! Huff! He’s really fast.”
“How do I catch that!”
A group of people chasing the snowman passed in front of me again.
‘I don’t think it’s a dangerous situation.’
When looking at the current situation, if there was a monster or something hard to handle, they wouldn’t be acting so leisurely, right?
‘But what is that?’
While I was wondering that.
A message appeared in front of me.
- Welcome to the Christmas Event! - Currently, a date with the snowman is in progress. - Bring the ticket obtained by catching a snowman roaming nearby to Santa, and gifts will fly! - Since they’re quite fast, it might be hard to catch! [Remaining Time - 00:15:26]
“Is this telling me to catch the snowman?”
Then, suddenly.
A man was seen chopping the head of the snowman that had been roaming earlier with a sword.
Boom!
The man accurately chopped the snowman’s head.
Immediately, the snowman’s entire body exploded in all directions, and a loud noise echoed around.
With the noise, it seemed to lower the Christmas atmosphere.
Beautiful fireworks spread around the snowman’s surroundings as if fireworks had exploded.
“Was this the sound?”
The sound I thought was something bad.
But it wasn’t, it was just the sound of the snowman bursting.
It seemed they made the sound loud unnecessarily to scare people.
‘I don’t think it’s a dangerous situation.’
I thought that the kids and Dad were probably catching snowmen right now.
“Shall we catch snowmen too?”
“Snowmen?”
Upon thinking, Elena is an elf.
If this is an event for Awakeners, can Elena participate in this event?
“Did a message appear a little while ago?”
“Ah. Yes. The one that says if you catch the snowman, you get a gift, right?”
The message appeared to Elena too.
So, participation is possible.
‘Is it not a simple NPC?’
Elena seemed different from the NPCs that looked like programmed ones I saw before.
When talking with Mom at home, and now too, there was a slight doubt.
‘Well, it could be a bit different.’
But I didn’t think deeply about that.
Deep thinking would do nothing.
It wouldn’t give an answer anyway.
Swoosh!
Then, a snowman quickly passed in front of me.
I quickly swung a knife towards that snowman.
Generates strong wind.
Do I need to approach and catch it?
I can catch it comfortably from afar.
Boom!
It was a fairly fast snowman, but due to the wind pressure flying at high speed, it split in two and disappeared with a loud noise.
And in the place where the snowman was, a piece of paper was seen.
“Is this the ticket I mentioned earlier?”
◈ Bring to Santa for luck and gifts
◈ Grade: Gold
“Whoa. Jealous. That guy’s a gold ticket.”
“I caught 4 snowmen, but they were all trash.”
“If you’re complaining, hurry up and catch one more.”
It seemed that my gold ticket wasn’t coming out that well.
Well, maybe I was a bit lucky.
“Then, shall I catch more?”
The snowman moved quite fast, but since my speed was faster, catching the snowman wasn’t that difficult.
During the remaining 10 minutes or so, the total number of snowmen I caught was 10.
There were many people, and there weren’t that many snowmen, so I couldn’t catch many, but more than that, I couldn’t hide my astonishment when I saw the tickets I got from catching them.
Out of 10 tickets, 8 were all my gold grade tickets.
‘…… Is this gold grade bad?’
