Dokdo Mice
Middle of the night, the amusement park found again.
Exchanged greetings with the amusement park related person met last time too.
“Really thank you for coming. Please take good care this time too.”
Bow.
I also greeted politely.
This time moved through a different passage from last time.
“Hope you look at the anteater first. A guy brought with really hard effort···.”
In the breeding isolation area all the animals to receive treatment prayer today were gathered.
[Where is the capybara?]
A question written in advance on the sketchbook.
The amusement park related person answered with a puzzled face.
“In the 3rd isolation room from inside. By any chance do you like capybaras?”
I nodded small.
I like, but that guy seems like will dislike me.
The isolation room where the anteater is first.
Beyond the transparent thick glass wall, the anteater quietly taking rest was visible.
[Contagious Disease Patient (35)]
Not that high a number?
Puzzled and pretending to pray, muttered the skill command.
“Treat, yes.”
Like that one by one. Midway drank warm herb tea, and finally the isolation room where the capybara is.
The [Contagious Disease Patient (30)] text was loitering.
If sick stay still a bit.
There are more animals to treat, have to save MP even a bit.
No choice carefully took one step when.
[Natural Enemy Relationship Activated]
···Kiiiik! Kiik! Kiik!
Above [Contagious Disease Patient (30)] a bright red [Mouse] newly arose, and a panicked cry was heard largely.
A considerably sharp sound.
“······?!”
“······!”
Surprised Lee Mun-yeong and the amusement park related person ran in front of the capybara isolation room.
The capybara full of fear was scraping the innermost wall and screaming.
“No, why suddenly···.”
“······.”
Really is the ‘Plague Doctor’ a natural enemy to all rodents.
The cute chirping cry when seeing a capybara as a child is nowhere, a howl full of fear.
I slumped my shoulders powerlessly, and unfolded the sketchbook.
[I’ll pray far away.]
Knew it would be like this so wrote this in advance too.
Hahaha···.
Lee Mun-yeong looked at me with a pitiful face and nodded.
“Yes···.”
I opened the distance to the boundary where the capybara’s target mark is barely maintained.
The bright red [Mouse] continued to be visible, but fortunately whether far from me seemed to find stability. The movement gradually slowed.
Sorry.
Already sick and I startled.
“Treat, yes.”
Creep creep.
As much as the distance is far, the speed the ‘Plague Treatment’ skill flies is also slow.
[System]
-‘Plague Treatment’ hit.
-‘Plague Treatment’ proficiency +0.4
-Experience +1.35%
[MP 35/210]
Fortunately hit in one go.
“Phew···.”
Letting out a sigh of relief, a blue system window appeared.
[Achieved achievement ‘This is the only time’!]
[System]
-Treated ‘mouse’.
-Achieved achievement ‘This is the only time’.
-Achievement ‘This is the only time’ achievement effect: Animal affinity +1
Animal affinity again?
Why on earth does this keep stacking?
Seems no particularly helpful part. Not that animals see only me and like and chase.
An ability needed 1327 years later?
For now I sent a signal that the prayer ended toward the two people.
And carefully moved steps. Because have to treat another [Contagious Disease Patient] animal inside.
Anyway since treated, the capybara also might have a bit of favor toward me···.
···Kiiiik! Kiik! Kiik!
Was not.
The capybara stood in the corner with two feet and screamed.
Whether became healthy, the sound was louder than a little earlier.
“······.”
“······.”
Lee Mun-yeong and the amusement park related person alternately looking at me and the capybara with surprised eyes again.
I calmly waved my hand and sent a signal that it’s fine, and immediately ran in front of the inside isolation room.
Doing this the capybara might faint.
“Treat, yes. Treat, yes.”
Finished the treatment prayer at super speed.
***
“Really thank you today too. Please enter carefully.”
After parting with the amusement park related person, I asked Lee Mun-yeong the curiosity continuously heard.
“The animals met today, didn’t look that seriously ill?”
“That···. A story that might sound a bit cruel.”
Lee Mun-yeong made a bitter expression.
“The illness the animals met today caught. Contagious power is strong and treatment also takes long. If not completely cured at once thanks to the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim’s prayer, a culling decision might have been issued.”
Without realizing I stopped steps.
“Yes?”
“Can’t show the sick animal under treatment to the audience, and if other animals get infected in the meantime enormous damage occurs. Management cost is also not cheap.”
“Ah···.”
Whether people passing see me and get surprised, took off the bird-beak mask and frowned.
“If managed well so the contagious disease doesn’t spread from the beginning it would have been fine.”
Lee Mun-yeong made a bitter smile.
“Indeed. Still fortunate the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim is there. Thanks to the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim also prevented the initial spread, and the animals earlier could heal safely.”
I moved the stopped steps.
Became a bit awkward.
“···Not a matter done for free either.”
“By the way really surprised.”
Lee Mun-yeong changed the atmosphere.
“Didn’t know the capybara would really show that kind of reaction.”
“Haha···.”
“‘Plague Doctor’-nim.”
She looked at me and asked.
“Shall we really go ride a passenger ship?”
“To catch mice?”
“Yes.”
The eyes of Lee Mun-yeong nodding shone with curiosity.
“The reason bringing up that talk when calling during the day earlier, because Dokdo came to mind.”
“Dokdo?”
“Yes. A few years ago mice flowed into Dokdo, and the inflow path is strongly estimated as the passenger ship.”
“Ah. I also seem to have seen that news.”
“If the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim also wants to receive that kind of request, how about going as a test. How?”
Hearing the story curiosity does arise.
After the escape room cafe disturbance, vaguely thought how about a business chasing mice then stopped.
“But is it okay? Seeing me might run deeper into areas ordinary people can’t enter.”
“Ah···.”
Lee Mun-yeong’s mouth corners gradually lowered.
“Didn’t think of that···.”
“No. Dokdo is small, so already in the deep corners everywhere. Confirming if there are really mice on the passenger ship also seems not bad.”
Before knowing in front of Lee Mun-yeong’s car.
“No.”
Lee Mun-yeong shook her head and opened the car door. When I got in the passenger seat, she said.
“Just seems like I wanted to go to Dokdo with the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim as an excuse. To go there have to take a few days vacation too, and no guarantee can enter the island. There’s also this kind of words. Dokdo can enter only if 3 generations accumulate virtue.”
“Then shall we try going once?”
“Yes?”
I smiled widely and said.
“Secretary Lee is busy, so I’ll go alone who is leisurely because of vacation.”
Hearing the Dokdo talk, the thought of wanting to go once also arose.
And it’s summer?
Have to feel the cool sea breeze once.
Lee Mun-yeong opened her eyes round and only raised the mouth corners.
“Wow, spiteful. Now teasing a office worker right?”
“Hmm, caught.”
“Wow, really spiteful.”
After returning home, I really made a Dokdo trip plan.
Really to chase mice?
No.
Anyway no particular thing to do except receiving TOEIC special lecture and bored.
Confirming if there are really mice on the passenger ship also seems not bad.
Ding.
The bank app notification rang.
The amusement park side decided to send the fee after confirming the treatment prayer effect, seems already deposited.
When treating Kongkongi last time received 3 million won.
This time even if prevented the initial spread, everyone’s state wasn’t bad so at most received a lot···.
[Deposit 34,812,000 won]
“······?”
I sent a DM to Lee Mun-yeong.
[Seems like attached one more 0 by mistake.]
-[Not a mistake. Processed as the representative director there directly deposited.:)]
Actually the requester on the amusement park side is not the related person we met but the upper line, exactly the representative director.
The reason a different person was not visible every time we went is that.
-[And also said please take good care of the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim from now on too.:)]
I sighed and sent a reply.
Thankful for giving a lot of fee, but hearing the culling talk the mood is not very pleasant.
[Please convey that not calling me as much as possible is a good thing.]
-[Yesㅎ]
Clatter clatter.
Putting down the phone and sighing again, Arong entered my room making cute footstep sounds.
Biting the attachment doll in the mouth.
“Arong, bored? Isn’t it sleep time now?”
Thud.
Arong dropping the doll at my feet.
I turned off the laptop and sat on the floor.
“Yeah, play briefly and sleep.”
Arong smiled widely and wagged his tail.
***
A few days later.
Rode the KTX and arrived at Mukho Station in Donghae.
The ship going to Ulleungdo is early tomorrow morning, so loitered here and there and ate at a suitable place, and unpacked the luggage at the reserved lodging.
Whether many people like me trying to go to Ulleungdo or Dokdo because summer peak season, barely caught even this old place.
“Aigo, hot.”
Turned on the air conditioner coolly then washed and came out. And about to turn on the TV.
······.
Whether the wall is thin the next room sound was heard.
That kind of sound.
“This shit.”
Raising the TV volume largely and drying the hair with the dryer, suddenly that kind of thought arose.
If came together with Lee Mun-yeong how would it have been.
“······.”
Hmm. Like in Japan not companion from the beginning, would have met near the destination.
Put away unhealthy thoughts, Kang Bong-sik.
Secretary Lee is no different from a business partner. No matter how close, must not have that kind of emotion.
“Shall I just make a girlfriend···.”
The next day early morning.
Boarded the ship going to Ulleungdo with a nervous heart.
······.
[Natural Enemy Relationship Activated] doesn’t appear!
Yahoo.
I entered the ship interior relieved.
The weather is also clear, the wind and waves also calm.
Maybe can enter Dokdo.
A few hours later arrived at Ulleungdo.
Leisurely looked around and wandered, then boarded the ship going to Dokdo matching the time.
“Hey, let’s build quickly!”
At that time, students my age who seemed come as a group gathered in front of the railing.
“Waves, don’t hit! Wind, become calm! Let’s go to Dokdo a bit!”
“Let’s go a bit!”
“Let us in! Heaven!”
Somehow if came with friends seems like would have done similar things, so pretended not to see and entered the ship interior.
This time also fortunately [Natural Enemy Relationship Activated] didn’t appear.
Like that moved a few hours again.
Quietly sitting in the ship interior, when throwing ‘Plague Treatment’ skill at [Contagious Disease Patient] with target marks appearing.
The guidance broadcast that can enter Dokdo flowed.
“Wow!”
Including the group who were noisily praying toward the sea a little earlier, several people clapped with joy.
I also casually joined and clapped, and wore sunglasses.
Became a bit tense.
Seeing past news, the mice that were on Dongdo among Dongdo and Seodo were said largely eradicated.
But still wouldn’t some remain?
Finally.
The passenger ship touched Dokdo’s dock.
“Will depart after 30 minutes!”
The place ordinary people can approach is up to the area where the eastern land end marker is installed. The stairs inside that cannot enter.
I orderly followed the people and got off the ship. Still [Natural Enemy Relationship Activated] didn’t appear, but took a deep breath once and.
“Sorry, sorry.”
Quickly ran to the place where the eastern land end marker is.
Because extremely close,
[Natural Enemy Relationship Activated]
[Natural Enemy Relationship Activated]
“···Phew!”
Only after touching the marker, the bright red [Mouse] that stiffened here and there briefly showed a reaction.
Squeak! Squeak!
The [Mouse] that were on the no-entry area side ran further inside as expected, the [Mouse] that were on the outside···.
Squeak! Squeak squeak!
Saw me and full of panic then jumped into the water.
Splash, splash.
Uh···.
Hoped just run and faint···. Then the coast guard would process themselves···.
“Oh my, what’s the mouse?”
“There were mice on Dokdo?”
While I was flustered, the people who saw that scene were surprised and crowded to the railing.
“Why are those like that?”
“Mice, can swim right? Why like that···.”
The [Mouse] flailing then one by one, fainted blankly and sank into the water as is.
[System]
-Defeated ‘mouse’.
-Experience +1.5%
-Defeated ‘mouse’.
-Experience +1.5%
-Defeated ‘mouse’.
-Experience +1.5%
What’s this···.
I really had no thought of drowning···.
At that time.
Meow, meow.
One black-tailed gull living on Dokdo made a strange cry and landed on the railing right beside.
Wayaok.
[System]
-Received a thank you greeting from the victim of the defeated ‘mouse’.
-Animal affinity bonus experience +1%
Received a thank you greeting from the black-tailed gull.
