Seoul Object Story

At noon, a small swimming pool that looked like a smaller version of Yangcheon-gu Lake was visible in the courtyard of Sehee research Institute which was bathed in golden sunlight.

The small swimming pool, where many Golden Reapers were gathered and playing together, had a quiet yet noisy atmosphere.

It was quiet because the Golden Reapers couldn’t make a sound, but just by looking at their happy faces and expression, it seemed like she could hear a lively and noisy laugh.

Whenever Seoah felt like taking a breather while organizing some documents, she would leave the deputy director’s office and walk through the glass passageway which had a clear view of the courtyard and take the sights into her eyes.

The sound of the Golden Reapers splashing water around and the sound of Mini Hydra spewing water into the sky.

The image of Golden Reapers splashing around in the swimming pool and floating high in the sky riding the stream of water spouted by a hydra.

It was a sight that satisfied her both visually and audibly.

“Woooow, so cute.”

“Where is the Gray Reaper? I wanted to see it.”

Visitors wearing visitor permits around their necks were amazed by the sight of the Golden Reapers.

The glass passage was a passageway prepared by the research institute for people who wanted to tour the research institute. However, unlike in the past, it was bustling with people who came for research institute tours these days.

After the Yangcheon-gu Lake incident, the number of people applying for the tour had increased significantly. The increase was so great that it became possible for Sehee Research Institute to become independent from government subsidies, something that was thought to be only possible for a few wealthy research institutes or those who were affiliated with large corporations.

Perhaps because of the huge increase of revenue, Director Lee Sehee was all smiles these days.

Thud-!

The sound of something hitting the glass echoed throughout the passage.

When Seoah turned her head, she saw several Golden Reapers sticking to the walls of the glass passage.

As if they found it amazing that they couldn’t see the inside of the magic mirror, the Golden Reapers were pressing their faces against the glass wall with innocent expression.

The Golden Reapers opened their eyes wide and tried to look inside.

Since their cheeks were pressed against the glass, the expressions they had on their face became funny.

The combination of a cute and curious face and the bright sunlight gave off a charm that made people who were looking at the courtyard take out their cameras and take pictures.

Click-!

Seoah also took out her cell phone, which she had roughly placed in her lab coat pocket, and took a picture.

Looking at the photo, it was a cute photo where the cheeks looked like steamed buns.

With her mind refreshed from the fatigue of the documents, Seoah walked back toward the deputy director’s office. Unlike when she came, her steps were league lighter.
