Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 415

Hyung, aren’t I cute? Episode 415

Siha went to daycare carrying his Pepe bag.

He showed off the bag and the toy sword he received as a birthday present, excitedly explaining that it was a lightsaber that sparkled and was amazing.

He also had fun sword fighting with his uncle.

“Wow, I like sword fighting too.”

“Me too!” Seung-jun and Hana chimed in, saying they wanted to sword fight after a long time.

Yeon-ju, who was next to them, also seemed interested in playing.

“Should I bring a sword then?”

The next day, the children brought swords from their own homes.

Siha, of course, brought the lightsaber he received from his uncle.

“Tada!”

“Wow!” Seung-jun stared at the lightsaber with shining eyes as it lit up.

It was no exaggeration to say that the children’s dreams and hopes were contained within it.

“It’s a sword from Star Wars!” one of the children exclaimed.

“Ooh! Awesome!”

“Siha watched it too, on YouTube,” he proudly announced.

At home, his uncle only watched short, educational videos with Siha.

Now Siha knows about movies.

The teacher saw everyone bringing swords and said,

“Everyone, please put your swords in this basket.”

“Why?” the children asked in unison.

“Unfortunately, we can’t just play with swords today,” she explained. “To earn the right to use these amazing swords, you have to be good at a game. How about it? Sounds fun, right?”

“!!!”

The teacher knew the kids were bringing swords.

But she didn’t bother to stop them, knowing she could turn it into a fun activity.

She always naturally creates fun games.

“It’s no fun if you just fight. Here, the teacher has prepared swords for everyone.”

Then, the children each grabbed a cotton swab.

The amazing swords were replaced with simple cotton swabs.

“Now, you have to grow this sword to make it the strongest sword!”

Everyone reacted differently to the teacher’s words.

Siha looked somewhat deflated as his lightsaber turned into a cotton swab.

“Siha will grow it quickly! Make it a big lightsaber!”

Seung-jun was already pretending to film an action movie with the cotton swab.

Fancy swordplay! Quickly moving arms! And a short cotton swab that doesn’t even make a whooshing sound!

“Ha! Yip! Yap yap!”

It looked very pathetic, but anyway, it was a sword in his imagination.

Hana was sad that her cool single-edged sword had become a pathetic cotton swab.

“Heeing.”

Yeon-ju had a ‘This is a sword?’ expression.

She couldn’t understand what was going on.

Jae-hui trembled because of the very weak-looking cotton swab sword.

“I’m sure I’ll lose if I fight with this.”

He’s already imagining losing.

At that, Jong-su hit Jae-hui on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry. They said you can grow your sword by playing games. It’s not difficult. It’s not difficult.”

“Jong-su…”

“So, pull yourself together and make a sword faster than anyone else and win!”

“Jong-su?”

Jong-su was just aiming for first place.

However, he doesn’t go alone but with his family.

Eun-woo smiles as he looks at the cotton swab.

“Puhaha! What is this! Puhaha! It’s a cotton swab! Cotton swab! If you put it in your ear, you’ll say Bonjour! [French for ‘hello’] Puhaha.”

Yoon-dong just stares blankly at the cotton swab.

In his mind, should I throw it in the trash? Or not? He was worried about that.

The teacher says.

“Hmm hmm. Everyone likes it.”

Not at all, but she pretended to.

Once you try it, everyone will have fun.

It’s a so-called growth-type game [a game where characters or items become stronger over time].

“Then let’s all work hard! Here, everyone, take a straw. And put the cotton swab inside.”

“!!!”

The teacher brought paper cups and stacked them.

A triangular tower was made with 4, 3, 2, and 1 cups.

“The teacher will show you first. Now, blow this and knock down the paper cups. You have three chances!”

The teacher blew and hit the paper cup.

She hit the place where two were stacked, and the one on top fell with it.

Three fell.

“Since three fell like this, you get 3 points! You need to get 5 points to grow your sword. Let’s all cheer up!”

Seeing it, the children’s eyes twinkled as if they were having fun.

Seung-jun stepped up first. He blew the straw. The cotton swab flew out in an instant and hit the bottom.

The paper cups collapse.

“Oh! 6 points! In one go!”

“Wow! Seung-jun is amazing!”

“Oppa [term for older brother used by females] is awesome!”

The teacher looked at Seung-jun in disbelief.

She didn’t know he would succeed all at once.

Seung-jun leisurely used his two chances to hit them one by one.

He got a total of 8 points.

However, even if you get a high score, you don’t get to grow your sword into something more amazing.

Of course, if you don’t get 5 points, your sword won’t grow.

“Next, Siha will do it!”

Siha blew the straw.

The cotton swab flew out and went through the gap between the paper cups.

“Huh?”

“Wow! Siha is amazing!”

“Siha is amazing!”

It was amazing in a way that he went through that gap.

Anyway, Siha’s score is 0 points.

“Siha, do well next time!”

“Siha fighting! [Korean phrase for encouragement]”

“Cheer up!”

Siha reloaded the cotton swab and blew.

This time, he hit the two cups and three fell.

With this, he got 3 points.

The last remaining chance was once. It was a situation where he had to get 2 points.

It was possible enough if he aimed for the paper cup below.

“Siha will do it!”

“Yeah!”

He blew, but unfortunately, he hit one paper cup and ended with 4 points.

Siha’s sword could not be grown by a difference of 1 point.

“No way!”

Thud.

Siha tasted great disappointment.

As you know, if you fail a certification exam by a difference of 1 point or one question, you feel very sorry.

Siha was also feeling that way.

The teacher said.

“Siha, let’s do well in the next game and grow it.”

“Teacher, Siha will make a lightsaber.”

Siha makes a resolution with a cotton swab.

The teacher found that appearance somewhat cute.

Can a cotton swab really become a lightsaber?

“Hahaha! Lee Siha! You didn’t get 5 points. Look. That’s not how you do it. Huh? Someone who is good at math? Exactly! Huh? Calculates and does it.”

“What’s math?”

“Eeygu [expression of endearment]. You haven’t learned it yet. I’m learning addition. Because I’m six years old now. Haha!”

“Addition? Siha knows addition! One plus one is cute!”

“It’s 2!”

“No. It’s cute.”

Jong-su had a dumbfounded face. Huh? Looking at the song lyrics(?), it wasn’t wrong.

But Jong-su, who learned math, knew it was 2, so that was wrong.

“Hmm hmm. Watch carefully. Huh? I’ll calculate it exactly. Huh? I’ll hit it.”

Jong-su blew hard.

He only hit once in three chances.

He got 2 points.

As you know, even if you do a lot of calculations in your head, you won’t get points if your body doesn’t follow.

Arts and sports are never easy.

Seung-jun, who saw that, laughed loudly.

“Ahahaha!”

“Hey. Be quiet.”

“Huh? I’ll calculate it exactly. Huh? Ahaha!”

“Keuheuk!”

Seung-jun teased Jong-su by imitating him.

Jong-su trembled and clenched the cotton swab.

“Humph! Anyway, Siha and I are the same in that we didn’t grow our swords. It’s okay.”

Jong-su was doing mental victory like that [trying to feel better about a loss].

Other children also knocked down paper cups with cotton swabs.

Jae-hui trembled and got 5 points, and he looked very relieved.

Yeon-ju blew indifferently and got 3 points. She couldn’t escape the cotton swab.

Hana also blew hard and got 6 points.

Perhaps because she was Seung-jun’s twin, her athletic ability was not bad.

Eun-woo laughed so much that he dropped it on the ground twice and got 2 points.

Yoon-dong recorded 7 points, probably because he was good at sports.

That’s how the people who grew the sword by one level were decided.

Seung-jun, Hana, Jae-hui, Yoon-dong.

Jong-su shouted 2 to 2 while watching that.

The teacher was wondering.

Was this a match between Siha’s team and Jong-su’s team? This is an individual match?

***

“Everyone! I will grow your swords. Ppyororong! [onomatopoeia for a magical sound]”

The teacher exchanged the swords of the four.

Now it has changed from a cotton swab to a small sword.

It’s a small sword to stick in a roulette pirate [referring to a barrel with holes where you insert swords, and one hole makes a pirate figure pop up].

Seung-jun shouted.

“What is this!”

The sword was still pathetic.

It can’t be helped. Just because level 1 becomes level 2 doesn’t mean it becomes incredibly strong.

“Still, if you sword fight, it’s hard, so that cotton swab will win.”

Seung-jun’s eyes widened at Jong-su’s words.

“You’re a genius?”

“Hey!”

Seung-jun was serious, but Jong-su seemed to be teasing him.

Because he was just telling the obvious.

The teacher cleared her throat.

“Hmm hmm. Everyone has a sword to stick in a pirate roulette. Yes! That’s right. The next game is pirate roulette!”

The game is determined by the direction of the sword’s growth.

Who will be able to grow the sword this time?

This was an area of luck.

“The person who makes the pirate pop out can grow the sword.”

“!!!”

“To do that, you’ll need a sword, right?”

“Yes!”

“Friends who have grown up with swords have one chance, but friends who don’t have swords can’t stick them in. But don’t worry. If you get this quiz right, you can get a sword to stick in!”

If the last game was a shooting game, this time it was a game that required brains and luck.

“Then here’s the question. When Mom is in a good mood, she does this with Dad, and when Mom is in a bad mood, she does this alone. What is this?”

“Answer!”

“Huh? Seung-jun. What is it?”

“Kiss!”

“땡! [sound for ‘wrong’]”

Hana raised her hand.

“Kiss?”

“땡! (Wrong!) How do you do a kiss alone?”

“With a mirror?”

“That’s a bit…”

No wonder they’re twins, the answers are similar.

No, but do the kids know the difference between a kiss and a kiss?

The teacher shook her head and shook it off as she thought about it.

Yeon-ju raised her hand.

“Yes, Yeon-ju.”

“Hug?”

“땡! (Wrong!) Ah! That’s a real shame.”

Jong-su raised his hand.

“Game?”

“No.”

Jae-hui also raised his hand slightly and said shopping?

Eun-woo is sad that the hug is a fart! He says confidently.

Yoon-dong hesitated and said dance?

The remaining chance went to Siha.

The teacher made the first move.

“Not hyung [term for older brother used by males]. Siha.”

“!!!”

Did you try to say hyung after all?

Where is the mother who says hyung to her dad when she is in a good mood? If you’re in a bad mood, you say hyung to yourself.

That’s so weird!

“Then.”

“Yes. Yes. Think slowly and tell me.”

“Woong.”

Siha thinks and comes up with an answer.

“Uncle?”

“땡! (Wrong!)”

Uncle is weirder than hyung!

Anyway, the opportunity went to everyone.

“It seems like everyone can’t get it right. Is the problem too difficult? Then I’ll give you a hint.”

The teacher crosses her arms.

The children immediately noticed and raised their hands.

“Me! Me!”

Everyone shouts ‘Me!’

The opportunity went to Yeon-ju, who raised her hand first.

“Crossed arms!”

“Correct! It was a difficult problem, so I’ll give you three swords that you can insert.”

Yeon-ju smiled and was happy.

She’s very enthusiastic about what this is.

“Then, since it’s hard to get only one person right, I’ll change it to an OX quiz [true or false quiz].”

“Yes!”

“Frogs have a belly button! If you have it, O [for true]! If not, X [for false]!”

“!!!”

The children started to worry.

Did the frog have a belly button? Or didn’t it?

Siha lifted his top and looked at his belly button.

The teacher showed a laugh.

No. Siha. Can you know the answer if you look at your belly button?

Hana sang a song next to her.

“One tadpole in the stream.”

For reference, the belly button story does not appear in the song.

Everyone was very worried about the problem.

But the teacher doesn’t wait.

Because the answer doesn’t come out just by worrying about this kind of problem.

“Okay! I’ll give you 3 seconds. You have to choose only one of the two. 3! 2! 1! The answer is!”

Seung-jun is quickly changing O and X alternately.

It’s like telling his confused thoughts.

“Seung-jun. You have to do only one. Then you’re out.”

“Ah! O!”

Siha also raised O.

Because Siha has a belly button. That was the reason.

“The answer is X!”

“Huh?”

“Frogs don’t have belly buttons.”

Siha lifted his clothes and looked at his belly button.

The teacher didn’t know why Siha was looking at his belly button, but she decided to let it go because it was cute.
