OK.

[Nov 2020 Hermit Crab Academy Business Net Profit KRW 1,143,140,000][December 2020 Hermit Crab Academy Business Net Profit 1,243,140,000 Won][January 2021 Hermit Crab Academy Business Net Profit 1,543,140,000 Won]

.

.

The profits of Hermit Crab Academy, which had fallen until November, rebounded in December, and it was seen that in January 2021, it was finally surpassing the profits before the K-edu attack began.

All of them were the result of winning the K-edu duel and being recognized for their skills and recognition and reliability at the same time.

‘Maybe this is just the beginning.’

I smiled and moved the pen away.

Because there are still a lot of documents that need to be paid today.

But then.

Our wish is unity- Even in our dreams, our wish is unity-

Suddenly, ‘our wish for unification’ began to resound in the director’s office.

“… … .”

It seemed that Yuna had cracked the password on my phone.

Still, thanks to the 12-digit password, I was able to avoid the ‘PPAP’ ringing in a serious place, but even that didn’t seem to be secure anymore.

‘I have to change it to fingerprint recognition.’

I sighed and pressed the call button. Anyway, I had to stop this noise.

hold on-

OK.

[brother! I’m doing well?]

A lively voice leaked from the receiver.

A voice with a fresh fruity scent. It was a voice that smelled like ripe lemons.

Hmm, but… Who is it?



Belatedly, let’s glance at the phone screen.

The name of [Seoyul University’s Korean Language Education Department, Class 18] was floating.

Oh, whoever said it was the Korean language education department at Seoyul University.

“Oh, it’s Susie. long time no see. Okay, how are you doing these days too?”

when i ask

[Uh, I want to tell you that I’m doing well, but… In fact, I am dying in preparation for the entrance exam.]

She answered in a shriveled, pumpkin-like voice.

In fact, it was a busy time for her to prepare for her teaching practice as she said she was in the 4th grade.

“It’s a lot of trouble.”

[Heh, I can’t help it. By the way, why is it so hard to see your face these days? I want to eat my whole face Sheesh, I was lucky to go to school.]

“Oh, I’ve been a bit busy these days.”

[Oh, that’s right. I saw it in the newspaper and forgot sorry.]

“it’s okay. It’s almost finished now. What’s going on anyway? All of a sudden they call me.”

[Ah, well, that’s not something else… Oppa, would you like to go to the volunteer work together?]

It was a bit of a nonsensical story.

“Huh? volunteer? what service? Is it like carrying briquettes?”

[No. Don’t do that kind of service. Educational service, educational service.]

Huh, what are you talking about?

‘Educational Service’

As a field of volunteer work, it refers to the act of providing an opportunity to continue learning even for children who lack the opportunity to learn by investing their own effort and time.

What is the difference from general service? In the case of general service, the jaw and burden are small. In the case of educational service, it was only that other service responsibilities and abilities were needed.

‘It’s because the educational service was named ‘education’ unlike other services.’For this reason, unlike general volunteer activities in many fields and places. Educational volunteering was only carried out in places linked to kindergartens, elementary, middle and high schools, alternative schools recognized by the Ministry of Education, VMS (Social Welfare Volunteer Certification Management), 1365 (Volunteer Portal), and Seoul City Accompaniment, and the management was rather thorough.

“Ah, educational service. Well, do you have time for a 4th grader to do that? Are you sure you are busy preparing for the recruitment exam?”

[Huh? Brother, you don’t know, do you? ]

“Huh? what?”

[Don’t you remember my brother? In order to receive our teaching certificate, you have to fill in the educational service points in advance. 4 years and 60 hours.]

Ah, then I saw… I remembered something.

‘I’m too busy studying, but I’m going to volunteer, right?’

‘So. Did you prevent it from being done anywhere? Damn, forced service in this day and age… .’

‘Hey, besides, if you get more than 100,000 won, you’re terrified that you will lose your teacher’s license… How much do I get if I teach during that time!’

It was just the way the seniors were drinking and complaining when they were in their first year MT.

‘By the way, in the case of the Normal University, the number of hours of educational service required for graduation (a total of 60 hours over 4 years) was set.’

“Ah. remembered Thank you.

[Haha, I also forgot something. Well, what are you going to do? This time I got it as a good service, so I’ll just have to paint some murals and finish it. Hehe, and after it’s over… Have you had a drink in a long time?]

Well, actually, it was a tempting proposal.

Apparently, the volunteer work she caught was known as the honey service among educational services. Because it seemed to be a mural service that was the most time-efficient.

But.

“Thank you, but I will decline.”

I declined her offer.

[Yes? why? There is only one seat left… I left it out because of my brother!]

Then she spoke to me in a voice that seemed incomprehensible.

I nodded. From a common sense, it was right to follow her words.

However.

‘I’d rather not do it that way… .’

To be honest, I couldn’t expect much from the students as it was a compulsory educational service.

From their point of view, it’s a service that doesn’t pay a penny. It would be embarrassing to be dragged into compulsory service.

However, there was no need for me to go out and follow such a trend.

Because for me, I had money, social status, and time if I adjusted it a little tighter.

“it’s okay. I just want to find out near the academy.”

Let me answer in a calm voice.

[Eww… It must be difficult to do it alone… Education volunteering is really good when you do it with people you don’t like. Hell.]

she said in a worried voice.

It seemed that I was worried about doing educational service alone.

In fact, I did just that.

Due to the nature of the educational service, in general, 4-5 teachers form a class and teach about 10 students once a week. If there was no agreement between the teachers, the class could go to the mountains.

But there was something she was wrong about.

That’s right… It was that I wasn’t alone.

“Don’t worry, I know people who can get along.”

* * * *

a few days later.

“Now, let’s finish this up for today, and let’s spend the rest of the time with our older sisters and older brothers. got it?”

“Yes.”

The moment I slowly stepped out of the hallway after class.

“Teacher, you worked really hard today.”

A man with a happy smile on his lips approached me and bowed her head.

Embarrassed by the sudden action of the man, I resisted his action and opened my mouth.

“no. What do you have to complain about? It’s something I love to do. I don’t know if we’re just causing inconvenience.”

Then he waved his hand and said to me.

“Oh, no. Our kids love it too. Probably because there aren’t that many people who come to our village at the same time these days… .”

Then, he started complaining that the number of people who volunteered for education had decreased sharply this winter, and that it was difficult to conduct classes for students.

I responded appropriately to his complaint and looked around.

Then, near the corner of Mt. Daemo, using a small forest as a folding screen, a forest of high-rise buildings towering beyond. And the scenery of the dwarf village where the shacks with the roofs made of scrap materials, tents, and veneers were spread out in an orderly fashion caught my eye.

Not long ago, after receiving a phone call from Cha Su-ji, I looked for a place that was closest to the academy but had the least volunteers in Seoul and had the worst access to education.

And as a result.

[Dwarf Village]

567-2, Gaepo-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. A corner of Gangnam filled with dozens of buildings, the last remaining shantytown in Gangnam. I was able to find a dwarf village.

It was because I thought that this was a place not too far from the academy, and where I could do a job that suited the name of education service.

“… Still, it took my breath away thanks to the teacher who found me this time. It seems that the children have also become more active than before.”

After he had finished speaking, he glanced at the classrooms in the center.

I followed his gaze and looked there.

OK.

“Look here. Here… We need to clear up the concept of phonological change and move on. Yeah, don’t think that it’s going to be difficult. each step by step. Uh-huh, where are you going?”

“The basics of English are words. No matter how smart you are, if you don’t know the words, you’re a fool. Yeah, I know it’s tedious, but unless we’re native English speakers, it’s a must-do. Now back to Patience conquers the world. Patience conquers the world. At this time, Patience is… .”

“Isn’t history a subject to memorize? Uh, do you really think so? If you think of history as a subject by memorization, it will be difficult for you right now, right? History is flow. An event is a stone or a rock that we meet in the wave of time, and a historical fact is a shallow behind the stone… .”

Yuna, Suhan, Jayoung, Ilhan, and Arin are doing a one-on-one tutoring with the students, and Eunsol is conducting a class with 10 students next to them. Ji Sung-soo’s face caught my eye.

“By the way, I didn’t know you would come as a team. When the application first came in, it was not the name of the association or club, so I just knew that you were coming for personal service… .”

“Oh, did you?”

“Yes. Thanks to you, I was able to save some trouble. actually… There are quite a few difficulties because of assigning teams to those who come as individuals.”

Still, I was a little worried about that problem.

In the case of general volunteer work, there was no big problem even if an individual went and volunteered, but in the case of educational service, it is common to conduct classes as a team.

‘Because one person can’t do everything.’

Because of that, at first, I even thought about going together with the instructors who could go.

‘I’m sure of your skills, so can’t we just take people who have nothing to do on holidays?’

However, I soon realized that the method contained serious problems.

That’s right… The method was very violent.

Because no matter how much I pursue a horizontal relationship, the moment I speak it will be coercion, not an offer.‘It’s like going hiking with your boss on a holiday.’

Therefore, the plan I had initially thought of was quickly scrapped, and just in case, I threw a volunteer offer to the graduates and students who were about to graduate.

‘If not, I can go alone.’

However? The reaction was more intense than expected.

‘Ah! If that’s the case, you should talk about it sooner! Were you shamelessly trying to do such a good thing on your own? What do you think of this Yuna Kim!’

Yuna Kim running around.

‘I have a little time to write a novel these days because it’s almost finished… I’ll go too. When and where can I go? Haha, I hope to see the faces of the children after a long time.’

Park Il-han, who is feeling more relaxed now.

‘Eww… That’s… Is Jayoung going too?’

Park Soo-han, who is still in captivity.

‘… Of course I should go. I’ll take Suhan too.’

Even the mature Kim Ja-young.

Everyone readily accepted my offer as soon as I threw it in.

There…

‘Heh heh, are we going to leave everything like this, Mr. Kim?’

‘that’s right. If something like that happens, you don’t tell us first… .’

‘I’ll help you too.’

How she heard the news, Ji Sung hyung, Eunsol, and Arin joined together to form an assortment of educational volunteer teams.

I smiled and looked at the students.

OK.

“OMG! look. In the case of this year’s fingerprints, is there a high possibility that current issues that were an issue this year will be asked? For example, the Kaesong Industrial Complex issue, which became an issue a few months ago, the North Korean infrastructure issue, and the Trans-Eurasia railroad. Possibility of things like the Nobel Peace Prize… .”

“… First, among the principles of standard language, focus on ‘cultured people’, ‘modern’ and ‘Seoul language’. What this part means is ‘hierarchical’ of standard words in order. It’s a ‘period’ and ‘regional’ standard, so keep that in mind. In addition… .”

“Generally speaking, writing doesn’t mean writing well. Because it’s not a good thing. Most of the topics presented in the thesis have clear issues. Therefore, after familiarizing yourself with the basic logic development method, you have to make your own logic development method through real problems. Well… But do you like novels?”

Suddenly, the appearance of the disciples, who had grown up, caught my eye.

A smile crept onto his lips.* * * *

after class is over.

“Goodbye, Yuna unnie!”

“Hyung, are you coming again next week?”

“Oh, if you don’t come, I’ll go find you!”

We slowly left the ‘Dwarf Village Youth Center’ as we were seen off by the students.

OK.

“Eww… Sam I’m hungry. Please buy me some sweet potatoes.”

“that’s right. And after eating Gamjatang, mango bingsu is a dessert.”

“After mango bingsu, let’s go eat macarons.”

… Some detailed requirements started pouring in.

Actually, I ate a little snack at the center earlier, but since teaching other people consumes the human heart, I was just hungry around this time.

I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

“okay. okay. I’ll buy you anything you want to eat today, so let’s go down to the parking lot first, okay?”

“Oh yea! Really?”

“Oh oh! Awesome, let’s go quickly!”

However?

“Oh, what is that?”

As we were going down to the place where we parked our car to eat, a strange figure immediately caught our eyes.

“what?”

“No, those people over there.”

that is… It looked like people in dark clothes were standing in a row and carrying something.

Then, Kim Ja-young, who was looking at him, opened her mouth.

“These are people who serve briquettes.”

Ah, come to think of it, what I was holding in my hand seemed to be briquettes.

‘Because there is no gas in the dwarf village.’

But when I pass by them like that.

“uh? Sir, isn’t that person him?”

Yuna Kim suddenly spoke out of nowhere.

She looked where she was pointing to see if she knew anyone, but they were all in black with soot on her face, so she couldn’t tell who was who.

“Who are you talking to?”

“Oh, that’s… .”

But then, the center staff who came out to see us off looked at where Yuna Kim was pointing and opened her mouth.

“Ah, are you Candidate Deok-Hyun Yoo?”

Then, Yuna Kim opened her mouth, showing her affection for her.

“that’s right! He was him.”

Yes? No, why is he here?

“Is that really him?”

When I asked with a puzzled expression, the staff nodded her head with a determined expression and opened her mouth.

“Yes, it is probably right because he is someone who comes to our village to do volunteer work once a month.”

Then, with a respectful expression, he looked at one of the people who served the briquettes.

Well, after hearing the story, it seemed like they were right.

Even though his face was covered in a lot of soot from carrying briquettes, people with that face and that size aren’t common.

‘The world is so small… Do we all meet here?’

But then.

‘Huh?’

I felt someone’s gaze.

Gently turn your head and look at the place where you felt your gaze.

A face looking at me with a faint smile.

I could see a darkened man covered in briquette soot looking at me and slowly opening and closing her mouth.

“Are you seeing me again?”
