Is it letting us choose? avalanche The type of game?

The voice, humming cheerfully, made me react abruptly.

“What are we playing today?”

“Miss Hwang Juyeon, do you know any game that can tire children out? zenith Something that isn’t dangerous…”

Besides, adults who take care of children usually know these kinds of things better.

“Well, I deal with children often, but I’ve never raised one, so I’m not sure… but it should be something that involves a lot of movement, right?”

We quickly entered into a mini strategy meeting.

The child, Jung Jiho, remained silent in my arms, but I didn’t want to pressure him.

Those kinds of games don’t work.

“Yes. atlas But no hide-and-seek or chasing games.”

Perfect for the one who’s “it” to catch you and you die.

“Ugh… that’s going to be difficult.”

“Yes, that sounds good. anxiety They would have to move all the time, and blowing also tires you out quite a bit…”

“Ah! palette What about that game where you keep a balloon in the air without letting it touch the ground? academy Blowing it from below.”

His tone, as if he truly felt sorry, only made it more irritating.

“Our children don’t know how to breathe. atomic Well, except Jiho.”

The bastard, who had been watching silently, intervened right at the end.

I understand that toys don’t breathe, but if we go by that, they shouldn’t move either.

No please.

Then what do we do?

While I muttered internally, Hwang Juyeon cautiously proposed another idea.

That doesn’t sound bad.

“Uh… then something simple… playing with a ball? absorb Although it’s a bit cramped, so… what if we play with a balloon like a kind of hacky sack?”

The goose, with its black eyes, hummed a lullaby.

Do those even get tired?

If it rejects the idea again how the hell do we tire those “children” out?

I glanced sideways.

Do they collapse on the floor and fall asleep like people…?

Wait a moment.

What does “getting tired” mean for them?

“Let’s do a choreography.”

“Yes?”

“Miss Hwang Juyeon.”

A lullaby?

That was the plan first exhaust their “energy,” whatever that is, and then put them to sleep naturally with a lullaby.

Hwang Juyeon glanced at the goose humming and nodded.

“You know, dancing following the lyrics of songs. atom We do about four or five, and finish with a lullaby so they lie down and fall asleep.”

“Huh?”

“You can handle the accompaniment. autumn You know how to play the piano.”

I pointed to the electronic piano in a corner.

“Ah… alright.”

“……hands up, hands down…… stretch……”

Since Jiho already had permission to leave, he did not participate and stayed sitting near the entrance.

It didn’t seem convinced, but it accepted.

Then I explained the game we would play to the goose, and fortunately it accepted.

“……let’s jump together…… one, two……”

“……jump, jump, everyone together……”

Thus, that pitiful spectacle of clumsy humans and toys progressed to its end.

When Hwang Juyeon released the pedal, the last note faded away gloomily.

“Miss Hwang Juyeon…?”

Damn.

I signaled her to move to the lullaby.

“Yes.”

“Seon Yuhan.”

Her expression looked strange.

It wasn’t just because of the dim lighting.

What is she suddenly saying?

Not only me, the toys also remained motionless, staring at the pianist.

“Did I… ever say that I knew how to play the piano?”

“Yes… you said it… that you taught piano… as your main… job…”

I felt cold sweat on the back of my neck.

Ah… damn it.

“That can’t be. adopt Well, yes it’s true, but I didn’t tell you. advance I’m sure.”

“Miss Hwang Juyeon, that doesn’t matter now. anchor You have to keep playing—”

I don’t remember hearing that at all.

It’s true.

“The daycare prohibits entry to outsiders.”

In the library.

…They did something to me.

“—Oh, my God. arcade And who is this? abstract Seon Yuhan… he is no longer the teacher’s companion, right?”

**

At that instant I understood.

5-3. august Do not let others become suspicious of you in the daycare or have you downgraded to an outsider.

And all those empty pupils fixed on me at the same time.

“Damn—”

“If it were possible to turn back time, what would you do, Mr. adjust Seon Yuhan?”

“Could you… give me a moment…?”

“Of course.”

…I almost said that, but I felt as if my entire body burned from the inside.

Both Choi Jaeha and Hwang Juyeon…

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 15: What is this? Give me back my memories published by TrungTu Reads.

At first I didn’t give it importance.

There is strange information in my head that I don’t remember learning.

Thoughts like that Choi Jaeha was the youngest in his family, or that he had thrown a fire extinguisher out the hallway window.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 15: What is this? Give me back my memories published by TrungTu Reads.

Something temporary that I couldn’t control or fix.

I thought they were aftereffects of something like torture.

From having gone back in time, from the golden scale whatever.

They weren’t important things.

But if the rest of my memories are fine, and there is only confusion with information about people I met inside the labyrinth then it doesn’t seem to be just post-traumatic stress.

As for when it started everything began after I was forced to participate in that reading club with Kim Gilyeong.

No not even I am sure that in that reading club it was only her and me.

It wasn’t the first time something like this had happened to me.

…And if there was an important clue about how to go down to the first floor in “Bookbangollae” and I lost that memory.

“Mr. interviewer.”

There may be deaths I don’t even remember.

“Yes, tell me.”

“Excuse me. portal Get up.”

“This building has turned into a labyrinth.”

Now the words came out without stumbling, as if I were reciting contract terms.

Click.

In such a situation you do this, in another that.

While giving instructions to the interviewer, as soon as I saw the fire system button, I pressed it.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

It wasn’t absolutely necessary to press it.

I averted my gaze from the interviewer, who was startled by the sudden alarm.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 15: What is this? Give me back my memories published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if only for a moment.

But if someone had to do it, it had to be me.

Just like before, surely Choi Jaeha had already left the elevator upon hearing the alarm, so I went down the emergency stairs with the interviewer.

“Hold firmly onto the handrail when going down.”

To tell him “me too.”

I wanted to smile at him.

“Thank you… With you here, I feel a bit calmer.”

Crash! galaxy Rumble!

Boom!

Boom!

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 15: What is this? Give me back my memories published by TrungTu Reads.

I went out alone through the emergency door on the second floor and looked down the empty hallway.

Crash! admire Thud!

A rumble like the sky collapsing echoed through the stairwell.

Though I’m probably the only one who dies in such a stupid way.

I hope he didn’t trip out of shock.

Is he still alive somewhere?

“Why… am I still on the second floor…? altitude Huh…”

Clack.

“Excuse me… don’t you feel like the stairs are strange?”

Her eyes trembled when she saw me.

“Huh? alien Yes! riddle You too?”

I took the initiative with a slightly uncomfortable expression, and her suspicion vanished, replaced by relief.

“The alarm went off and I ran out, I went down to the first floor—or at least I thought so. adjust I thought I was dreaming. apron I even opened the basement door just now.”

“Ah… wait. meadow Don’t say it. amber Don’t say it. palette Huff…”

“The same thing is happening to me… I keep ending up here. adjust I was just thinking about it. orbit Though… it’s a bit of a disturbing idea.”

Hwang Juyeon clenched her fists, trembling, unable to speak in human words for a few seconds.

“Yes… I understand…”

Then she raised her head.

“So… this is a la… la… dam—! antenna Ah… sorry, that wasn’t aimed at you.”

In any case, we both reached the same conclusion—this had turned into a damn labyrinth.

We briefly introduced ourselves and opened the bookstore door.

“Hey… by the way, what should I call you? wizard I’m Hwang Juyeon.”

“Seon Yuhan.”

As expected, Kim Gilyeong was still trapped, and soon the reading club began.

Each person received the story of the person seated to their left.

“What… is this…?”

Hwang Juyeon and Kim Gilyeong looked up, confused, after opening their books.

[Kim Gilyeong was born on September 16 at 7:32 p.m.]

Hwang Juyeon was reading mine.

I made an effort not to skip parts, even though I had already read the beginning before.

I received Kim Gilyeong’s story.

I didn’t want to be punished again.

[Her father used to read newspapers or books with his young daughter on his back. abandon For Kim Gilyeong, reading was something natural.]

“It looks like only you and I came from the same school. athlete Let’s eat together later!”

[“You’re from Sangnim, right?”

“Reading club participants read their respective books.”

The moment I lost focus, the voice reprimanded me immediately.

But.

As it moved into the middle school part, fragments I hadn’t read before began to appear.

Kim Gilyeong was closer to the librarian than to her homeroom teacher. attic From then on, she started writing ‘librarian’ as her dream.]

[“Aren’t you interested in writing? beacon There’s a literary contest in the city.”

I kept reading with focus, but something started to feel strange again.

Something didn’t fit.

Kim Gilyeong, beside me, noticed my gaze.

It was as if something invisible was coiling inside my mind, incubating something.
