ReLife Player

Chapter 24

[Now please stop]

A year had passed, and nothing had changed at Doan Kindergarten. The children would be entering elementary school next year, but they were still children.

Pochi, Im home! You missed your mommy, didnt you?

Wouf.

He was caught in the middle of the girls play.

No Eunha, 32 and 7 years old.

Currently, he was pretending to be on the verge of tears.

Damn, puppy.

Sleep-deprived from staying up late last night watching a broadcast about players, Eunha had been sprawled out in the corner of the kindergarten since morning.

There was no way Mr. Tayo would leave him like that. With a huge grin on his face, he tossed him into the midst of the girls playing small talk without a moments hesitation.

Pochi, why are you crying?

Pochi, dont cry.

Wouf, not crying?. Damn.

The girls of the Evergreen Pine class were notorious for their tantrums. Once the other kids in the class joined in for the fun, they were all over them. It was even a punishment among the boys to join the girls playgroup.

The number of times Eunha was forced to participate in their games was six, including the current one.

He held the record for the most among the boys in the Doan Kindergarten, and he had the pity and admiration of the boys.

Puppy.

Damn.

His role today was a puppy named Pochi.

Because of the girls emphasis on thorough acting, Eunha had to sit like a puppy, whimpering whenever they spoke to him.

Awwwww, good boy~

I dont know where Pochi is good, you should leave that mongrel dog with no pedigree outside.

That, that, that!. Hes using this as an opportunity to argue.

Growl.

What did you say? Do you want to be punished? Should I tell the teacher?

wouf.

Im frustrated, but what can I do.

Hes a pochi now.

Minjis role of pretending to eat seaweed soup is that of Kyushu, a western restaurant.

Her role has always been diverse, but with her strong personality, a wide range of acting was impossible for her. Unless it is a villainous role that can appear in other genres like now, she becomes Minji herself, whether its a husband, wife, grandmother, grandfather, or sister.

Kid, there wont be any separate villainous roles if you just play yourself LoL

In the end, it was Minji who could only play villains. Eunha thought.

Minji, youre doing it again! Didnt your mom tell you that you shouldnt judge people by their looks? Pochi is so nice and eats well!

This is from a girl who volunteered to play the role of a wife waiting for her beloved husband to return home. The actress, who was asked to play the role of a wife waiting for her beloved husband to return home, spoke a lot of words about how love is beautiful and how we shouldnt judge people by their appearance, but it was not suitable for a child.

By the way, the husbands role is a handsome man who inherited a venerable family for generations and entered a large company as a team leader in his 20s due to his parents connections and is now the chairman of a large company group.

I didnt watch the k-drama, but I could tell that the k-drama was ruining the childrens dreams.

Wouf, Wouf!

I said, Stop watching k-drama!

The world youre going to grow up in is full of monsters, and youll be too busy living alone!

Haa.

Im tired of yelling.

Just then, the girl playing the role of her husband walked in, and Eunha decided to leave quietly.

Goodbye. Pochi is leaving the house. Please dont look for Pochi.

Its okay, youll be fine without me, youve got plenty of money, Sayonara.

Eunha, who didnt get much sleep last night because he was watching the show, decided to sleep in. Covering his yawn with his hand, he searched for a place where he wouldnt be seen.

The reading corner was still a favorite spot for children.

Hayang was reading a book while sipping the barley tea she had brought from home.

What are you reading?

Sherlock Holmes. Im hooked!

At least Hayang was a bit of an adult among the children in the class.

Her latest obsession was the Sherlock Holmes series. At the end of last year, after devouring all the books in kindergarten, she brought some solid books from home.

Its Sherlock Holmes memoirs? In the last one, he falls into a waterfall with Professor Moriarty and dies.

Huh?

UH, Ive spoiled it for you.

It couldnt be helped, Eunha told himself.

When someone is reading a story you know, you cant help but want to keep talking about it.

Its instinctive to spill the beans!

So feel it! Feel it! Accept it!

Despite being a strong self-defender, I had a similar incident at home a few days ago. Euna was watching a cartoon on the couch when he just couldnt stop spoiling. He broke the mood during a crucial scene, and she didnt talked to him until this morning.

Thats too much. I havent even read it yet.

Jeong Ha Yangs eyes were shaking as if she was going to cry at any moment.

At this point, Eunha interrupted.

Ahaha, sorry. I was like you too but Im alive again thanks to the return of Sherlock Holmes

Just shut the fuck up.

He threw another spear to appease her. He quickly covered his mouth, but the water had already been spilled.

Waa. I hate you.

There it was. Ha-Youngs attacks were the only ones that had an impact. The way she covered her eyes with both hands was not only adorable, but it also made his heart ache with guilt.

But I didnt want to make more mischief, so Eunha apologized, Im sorry! Im so sorry! and ran away.

Hehe! Do you really think you can block my sword?

Come on. Dont cry later.

Bhopal Strike!

Bichuan sword type-!

While the girls preferred to play with dolls and cubs, the boys were into sword fighting.

In the center of the class, the boys were engaged in a sword fight. Toy swords had recently become popular among children. Add to that the popularity of a cartoon about a character who participates in a death game. Some of the kids who were hooked were dressed in black.

It was nothing. I spilled blood for nothing again today.

In a boys world, when it comes to sword fights, theyre the hero and each other the villain.

So they tried to come up with fancy names and common swordplay to mark their victories and defeats.

One of the best sword fighters in the class was Eunhyuk. Hes very athletic and swings his toy sword around as if hes trying to wipe the blood off the blade. He even pretended to put the sword back in its scabbard.

Ugh, Im furious! Ill see you next time!

This is what a kid who loses a fight would do: take the loss as gracefully as possible, and then show room for a mature protagonist who will win next time.

But this line is a third-rate villain everywhere you look. You need to watch more comics.

Then Eunha made eye contact with Eunhyuk.

Something clicked, and Eunhyuk smiled.

Thats good. I wanted to see who was the strongest in this class.

Eunhyuk, who was still playing the hero, taunted Eunha.

Whats wrong with you. Gross.

Eunha was as embarrassed as Eunhyuk was unabashed.

Whether they realized it or not, the kids who were already in the middle of a sword fight were creating an atmosphere of Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!

Uh-oh.

It wasnt just the boys. Even the interested girls were forming a circle around them.

At Eunhas feet was the sword that the defeated child had dropped earlier.

There can never be two suns under the same sky. Take that sword, and Ill end your misery right here.

Eunhyeok makes a grunting sound with his mouth, drawing out his fear.

Hah. Thats annoying.

Eunha wasnt interested in childrens games, but he couldnt resist laying down the board.

Eunhyeok, defeat No Eunha! Defeat him and prove youre the strongest!

Bangjin and Sungjin cheered for Choi Eunhyuk.

Kill No Eunha, whos good with girls!

Cheers from the boys who were envious of Eunhas sister.

Hey, at least you guys hang out with me in the neighborhood.

You all seem to want me to lose, but did I do anything wrong? And if you want to get along with girls, you can join the playground!

No Eunha!

At least Minji, the girl next door, will cheer me on.

Fuck you!

Yes, this is the kind of girl you were. Youre so relentless, and I didnt even want that.

Eunha turned around in disbelief.

Minji was making a throat-slitting motion with her thumb.

Oh, my God.

Im not exactly looking for cheers, but. But I still want to see Hayang.

I hate No Eunha so much!!!

Hayang, who had been spoiled and was in tears, shouted.

Eunha realized why they say a womans hatred is scary.

Yeah. Life is meant to be lived alone. (E/N: lol)

There was no one to cheer him on.

He wasnt disappointed.

Even before the regression, he was living on his own.

Im not disappointed! No Eunha, who was called the undead who cant die, would be disappointed by the words of a bunch of kids. Really.

Eunha picked up the sword at his feet.

Once Ive decided to do this, Im going to show them that Im capable of shutting them up.

Im not going to leave you all alone.

Ha! Are you too scared to even come?

The game began.

Eunhyuk sneered at Eunha as he pointed his sword at him, and Eunha remained silent.

Okay. If you wont come, Ill go first. Dont regret it later. My sword kills dragons.

Eunhyuk lowered his upper body and put his foot forward.

Im coming.

Starting with his left foot, Eunhyuk ran. Spreading his arms like a bird, he dove in and swung his sword.

Feeling unable to stop the boys from engaging in a sword fight, Mr. Tayo cautioned them to never hit themselves with the sword.

So no matter how hard Eunhyeok swung his sword as he ran at full speed, the curve of the sword was bound to end in Eunhas sword.

Knowing this, Eunha was not nervous about Eunhyuks sword. He parried the attack from the side and slashed at Eunhyuks sword.

Even if it was a childs prank, he had no intention of letting it go.

If you raise a sword in your sleep, you have to slash.

Eunhyuks sword flew through the air, spun around, and fell to the ground.

The battle was lost. It was so clear that Eunhyuk could no longer bluff.

Eunha walked past Eunhyuk as if nothing had happened. He then swung his sword, wiped the blood off the blade, and made a gesture of tucking it into his left waistband.

Eunhyuk let out a belated grunt and dropped to one knee. All he can do now is take defeat in style.

Eunhyuk gave off the vibe that he hadnt used all his power yet. He coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

I havent used all my power yet. Hearing such nuances, Eunhyuk made a gesture of coughing up blood and collapsed to the ground.

It was a good match.

To end the game, even the winner had to say something memorable at the end.

Eunha said whatever came to mind, and the connection was complete. Lying on his back on the ground, Eunhyuk shuddered in frustration at losing the game.

Wow!

Its No Eunha, youre really good at this!

I thought you were wielding a real sword!

Its all thanks to us that Eunha is like that! If he didnt play with us, his acting skills wouldnt be so good!

So you guys should play with us too!

Boys, run away~!

Mi, Minji, is this what they call heart-pounding?

Heh, heh, you guys are getting all excited over a knife prank.

The mood quickly changed from booing Eunha.

Sigh, but their attitude of not doubting my victory as if flipping over a palm is unfair.

Yeah, you guys will do well in society.

Eunha, teach me swordsmanship too!

What kind of swordsmanship are you using, youre way cooler than my Aincradrew!

Eunha, which character do you like! The redheaded swordswoman who uses a non-Tenkaichi sword!

No, its Blackie! That was a Blackie move!

Eunha you can pull Excalibur! What are you guys doing, go get Excalibur!

The boys were more boisterous. They wanted me to teach them how to sword, they wanted to know what cartoons were based on swordplay, and finally, they wanted to know who owned the toy sword called Excalibur, so they could have a sword fight to see who really owned Excalibur.

The sword they named Excalibur was a pretty cool sword. The hilt was golden and shiny, with toy jewels all over it. And there was something romantic about the chains at the end of the hilt.

You can do this!

Oh my God, you can see the moment I draw Excalibur!

In this mood, I might as well pull it out. hahahaaa.

Sighing loudly, Eunha grabbed Excalibur, which was stuck in a pile of blocks the kids had hastily made.

With a clink and a rattle of chains, Eunha drew Excalibur.

The promised sword of victory! Eunha has drawn Excalibur!

Its No Eunha-king!

Now that Ive hung out with you, if youll let me go.

But Eunha wasnt released from the boys, and the battle between him and Eunhyuk was secretly watched by kids from other classes.

Eunhyuks battles were secretly watched by children from other classes.

Before he knew it, he was the leader of the class war.

Boys started asking him to teach them how to use a sword.

Inevitably, hed give them a few demonstrations, and theyd get so excited that theyd praise him.

As the situation continued, Eunhyuk, who had ceded his position as the strongest to Eunha, continued to wear the toy sword to and from kindergarten.

Im not good enough. Ill get stronger.

From then on, Eunhyuk could often be seen wielding the sword with his fists balled up like a protagonist in a boys manga.

That sparked boys romance. Carrying a sword has become a trend among boys.

The children who would be entering elementary school next year were too young and too small.

Eunha, why arent you wearing Excalibur?

Now please stop!
