"We're here."

At the words of Cassion, Ruel opened his eyes.

He didn't know why, but Cassion's face looked exceptionally refreshing.

His well-groomed hair was a little messy, and dirt was visible on the floor of the wagon.

Ruel was unsure and asked.

"What happened while I was sleeping?"

"Yes, the rat stepped in the trap without knowing the subject."

"Really?"

Apparently, a common cliché popped out while sleeping.

Ruel got off the carriage.

An open lake was the first thing that caught his eye.

He could see people coming for a walk or fishing.

The carriage was unintentionally attracting attention because it was the only one of its kind there.

"It's not a walk that Ruel-nim could handle so I had no choice but to drive the carriage all the way here. I apologize for bringing unnecessary attention to you."

"It doesn't matter."

Ttak.

Ruel walked to the lake while listening to the people gossiping.

The sparkling appearance of the lake under the sun was beautiful. It was as if it was sprinkled with jewels.

The water was so clear that the fish at the bottom were clearly visible.

'It's a good place.'

It was the perfect place to camp. It would be nice to come to play later.

"I think it's over there."

Cassion looked around and pointed to the right.

Seven middle-aged men huddled together and were waiting for the fish to bite on their fishing rods.

In a place with very shallow water where no fish could be caught, in a corner where there were not many people.

Ruel walked leisurely and approached them.

Tak tak.

He hit his cane to the ground to announce his presence and to attract their attention.

But they didn't even give him a single glance.

Ruel sat on a flat-looking rock and asked.

"Did you catch a lot?"

"I couldn't catch any."

The answer was fast.

"There are 7 of you, but you couldn't catch a single fish?"

Then one of them saw Ruel.

He asked him a question with a firm face.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to meet someone."

"The people are scattered about like fish here."

"I hate talking too much, so I'll keep it simple. Please come back."

"What are you talking about? There are so many places to go back to. Where are you telling me to come back to?"

Ruel inhaled the Breath.

'Oh man, he likes to talk back.'

It wasn't what he liked to hear.

Ruel gave strength to his voice so that they could hear it well. They seemed to be sulky.
