Spirit of the Jungle, a representative attraction of Jeju Disneyland.
Eek eek!
Oooooo aaah!
We entered a tropical rainforest where the roars of beasts echoed endlessly.
A meticulously crafted mechanical parrot flapped overhead.
Hwaang!
Ping—
Yuna ducked her head and bumped her forehead against the safety bar.
“Ouch, that hurts… Na-me, what’s that bird?”
“African Grey Parrot. Its scientific name is Psittacus, and it’s an endangered species inhabiting the tropical rainforest of Central Africa. It’s particularly known for its high intelligence among parrots.”
“How about that one?”
“Looking at the long fur, it seems to be an Eastern Lowland Gorilla.”
“Oooh!”
– Nice model, though. Whoa.
– The folks behind seem to be listening closely.
– They’re really nodding for real, lol.
– Free guide, what a steal~
– Human encyclopedia, this is crazy, lol.
“Surprisingly, many think Tarzan lived in the Amazon, but the original creator Burroughs stated that his main stage was the jungles of Africa. However, he didn’t specify exactly where; do you know why?”
“Umm… too detailed makes it boring?”
“The author himself has never been to Africa, so he more or less used his imagination. Anyway, if you narrow down the locations to the conditions of gorillas living near the Gulf of Guinea, it would lead you to the Congo and Cameroon.”
Clatter—
At that moment, my body tilted forward at a 45-degree angle.
My hair fluttered in the wind, and the strong downward sensation tickled my abdomen.
Gyaaaah!
Everyone raised their arms and shouted with an eruptive cheer.
Splash—
Water poured down from above, and we all emerged with seaweed-like hair.
The water in May was unexpectedly cold.
As we dried off with a Dehydration Magic Circle installed at the exit, I looked at the photos taken during the descent.

– Why does it look like only you’re expressionless, lmao.
“Hmm, it’s not as great as I expected.”
“Hehehe, Na-me, were you scared?”
“Let’s call it that.”
The interests of the kids who dislike scary things and my lack of thrill-seeking aligned perfectly.
“Let’s go watch the parade.”

Chomp chomp—
I gnawed on the right ear of a Mickey Cream Bread, dragged aimlessly by the kids.
Why can’t I eat with my hands right now?
Because both of my hands are reserved for holding on.
Yuna and Seori were shaking my hands vigorously as we wandered through the theme park.
Then, it was time for swings like every other step.
“Na-me, swing, whooosh!”
Mmm-mmm-mmm!
As they lifted their arms, my feet easily lifted off the ground.
My upper body stretched out like a ferret.
Swinging in the air, I moved 3m with just one step, landing back down.
Crunched—
“Ugh, why is this so dry? I can’t even swallow it down, there’s not enough saliva.”
Feeling the urgency, I stuffed more cream bread into my mouth.
With my cheeks puffed up, I grabbed the kids preparing for the next swing and stopped them.
“Just let me eat the bread, cough…! Please let’s just eat the bread, kids.”
– Na-me’s mouth is covered in powder, lol.
– Exciting height difference of 20cm.
– Na-me is still just a human.
– (A picture of a puppy that fainted after playing in the water with elementary school kids, lol.)
– Wow, that swing game is something my parents took me to when I was 5, what a memory.
“If you act cute, I’ll let you go.”
I winked playfully.
“That’s already been used once, so nope. That’s a duplicate.”
“Gulp, phew… what exactly is ‘acting cute’? Isn’t just being this way already cute enough?”
“Eh?”
“Hahhahhahahaha!”
The kids on either side burst out laughing and flopped over onto the ground, giggling.
Seeing that, the friends walking with us caught the scent and gathered around.
“Wow, Na-me finally, finally admitted…! This is a revolution!”
“Why? What? What happened?”
“Na-me said she’s already cute enough even without acting cute!”
“Wow! Na-me? You should’ve been honest earlier, you cutie.”
“Is your inner self exposed now?”
“No… what I mean is that adding special behaviors doesn’t really change the fundamental aesthetic purpose, so…”
“Hmm, isn’t that pretty much the same thing…? That’s too bad, now we can’t make Na-me act cute anymore. Na-me is always cute!”
Hehehee!
“Ha…”
– You really have a knack for cooking up absurdity, lol.
– Cuteness saves the world…
– NoName declares, “I’m cute!”
– You drop your guard in front of true friends, huh? Hehe.
– Even a creaking Na-me is cute, ugh!
– Today’s blonde straight hair is really pretty, teacher!
We found a spot mixed with sunlight and shade and laid out a mat on the floor.
Everyone pressed close together to see from the front.
“Let me through.”
“Na-me, you’re too short to see, so sure. Come here.”
“Thanks for being considerate, my friend.”
“Eh, it’s nothing. It’s only natural among friends!”
It seemed my inability to attach the ‘^^’ symbol at the end of my sentence hindered the meaning.
Security Guards with walkie-talkies cleared the parade route and set up Hologram Projectors around.
We swayed our bodies left and right to the lively music flowing from the speakers.
“Wow, they’re coming!”
“O?”
As the parade floats resembling balconies merged with holograms, a massive banquet hall unfolded.
Luxurious chandeliers, ceiling paintings, and wooden tiles lined the path ahead.
As they got closer, the props created by the hologram became more intricate, almost like watching blockcraft rendering.
A person wearing a black mouse costume waved eagerly at us from the top of the vehicle.
I shyly waved both hands back.
With each vehicle that passed, different backgrounds unfolded.
Surprisingly, the character most popular among kids was the black-horned witch.
As she waved her staff, a rainbow burst forth and struck the heads of the princesses watching the parade.
The princesses hit by the rainbow pretended to drift off into sleep.
“Here! Please put me to sleep!”
Everyone desperately called the name of the witch, wanting to be chosen.
“Hey guys, I think it’s our class’s turn now…!”
Just as Ji-hye said, the witch gazed down towards us.
With a villainous smile.
[Spell: Aqua Arcus]
[Joint Spell: Prisma Refraction]
“Uh-oh.”
[Countermeasure: Humidity Adjustment]
Pachin—!
The witch’s rainbow clashed with my magic midair.
An etheroluminescent phenomenon occurred, creating a brief spark.
The rainbow that had been flying disappeared like vapor, and both the witch and I stared at each other, dumbfounded.
“Na-me, what are you doing?!”
“Teacher, NoName caused another accident!”
“You brat, you brat!”
The kids beside us scolded and tossed peanuts at me.
“Ah, sorry, I didn’t mean to… I apologize.”
Am I really addicted to duels?
I quickly bent my head and joined my hands in apology.
Fortunately, the parade performer smiled and cast another spell.
A moist mist splashed on my face.
I closed my eyes, and pretended to collapse into Yuna’s embrace.
Yuna gently pushed aside my hair that was poking my face.
So soft and comfortable. Should I just lay here a little longer?
[Video Share – ‘★Adella’ shared for 100,000!]
(Chopin Funeral March Sonata Op.35 No.2 3rd movement)
From somewhere, a funeral march echoed.
I peeked open my eyes to locate the source, and it turned out to be the sound coming from my broadcast donation window.
– It’s Adella, lol.
– Does she have no fear of being a trash can? lol.
– This has to be a black moment, right?
– NoName falls asleep here… RIP.
– Farewell, DellaDella, lol.
– But is NoName really planning to counter this?
– Rainbow reflection, lol.
– Anyway, there’s something wrong in this household.
I stretched widely and calmly said,
“By the way, Adella’s stream is taking a break the day after tomorrow.”
– !!!
– Adella, run!
– No, that’s really terrifying, lol.
– Calm down, calm down!
– You always have to risk your life when joking with Na-me…

That evening, I returned to my room first and sorted through the photos taken that day.
When my homeroom teacher asked if I wouldn’t join for dinner, I politely declined.
I was so full from munching on various snacks all day that my stomach felt like a balloon.
Cotton candy, madeleines—whatever it was.
While I was queuing and waiting, folks behind and in front recognized me and fed me a piece of gimbap they had packed from home.
I really felt like a wild cat.
My hair had once again returned to black.
While the broadcast was on, I spread the photos out on the bed and lay atop them.
[NoName]
[Just Chatting – Second Day of the School Trip]
– Oh, what’s this?
– Hi, hi~
– Wow, another stream!
– Give applause to NoName!
– I believed in NoName~
“Hello, hello. Yes, hello everyone. It’s nice to see you all again. We met earlier, right?”
I requested the kids to send me the pictures we took together via text.
At this point, they probably wouldn’t be able to look because they were having dinner, but they all sent me their pictures in a competitive manner.
Some photos weren’t even mine, so it took a while to sort through.

– Today’s stream was ridiculously cute!
“Thank you! This photo was taken by a friend at the main gate, and personally, I think it turned out the best. I’m deciding on a profile picture; should I use this one?”
It was a photo taken in front of a garden shaped like Mickey after passing through the Disneyland entrance.
[‘skyblue33’ donated 5,000 won!]
– Why is it either a thumbs up or a V pose, lol? Na-me, please show a different pose?
– I felt a sense of dissonance, then…
– Don’t tease Na-me too much, lol.
– They look like my grandparents, lol.
– The classic mountain hiking pose, indeed.
– The one at the bottom is cute and okay, though.
Seori’s photo taken in front of the cotton candy shop received the most votes.
She propped her chin with both hands on a metal table, staring intensely at a large cotton candy.
I don’t know why I look so foolish in it, yet they like it.

– One of Na-me’s friends posted a vlog; hurry, hurry! (Harutv – hyperlink)
“Eh? That can’t have come out so soon.”
Lee Ha-ru had stayed up late playing with me yesterday and wouldn’t have had time to edit.
I immediately contacted Haru to ask about the situation.
[Ah, our staff edited it for us, and it came out already? I need to see it now, thanks!]
I hung up and stared at the broadcast screen in shock.
“Rich people are truly amazing, right?”
If it was just a hobby vlog, I would at least think they knew how to edit themselves.
