93. There was no asura, but there was a chaos.
“Hmm, everyone did a good job before the Galactic Empire. Cheers.”
“You still have a weak toast.”
Somi lightly scolded me. There may be things people can’t do, right?
I rolled my eyes for about two more seconds, but I couldn’t think of anything more appropriate, so I held out the bottle I was holding.
We each clinked our glasses, and after a slight sound of glass clashing, we began our meal.
“Hoo.”
The taste of the gin poured into the mouth from the bottle was not quite bad. The scent was quite fragrant, as if the botanicals were mixed in quite a few types. My throat was burning hot, but it was so delicious that I could drink it without having to mix it with tonic.
“There are different types.”
When I looked around, all the members of the squadron were pouring different liquids into glasses.
Lena’s red wine. I don’t know much about wine, but it’s expensive anyway. It was a low sugar content and heavy type.
Voksil was drinking lemon-flavored soda with low alcohol content as a substitute for soda. It might be difficult to control when drunk, so Somi decided in advance.
Somi is plum wine, which she usually likes. If you like it, the expression is good.
And Lua was just plain beer.
“—Ugh.”
After taking a sip, he furrowed his brow and stuck out his tongue.
“Come to think of it, is this the first time Lua has been drinking?”
“huh. This is the first time I haven’t eaten at a Vengeance dinner. Why does everyone like this so much? It’s not very tasty… Lena, is that delicious?”
“Wait. It’s decanting.”
“d… what?”
“The more you know about alcohol, the more fun there is. There are several types, so try them all and choose.”
It feels like playing with freshmen in college.
I was a little excited and set various types of alcohol in front of Lua like a sampler by pouring little by little into a soju glass.
“Everything smells very pungent. Every time I drink, does Jeo drink too?”
“Mine is 60 degrees?”
“I don’t know. Aren’t you going to subtract? I thought it was salty when the subordinates were drinking.”
“I only remember information that I don’t really need. okay.”
I drank the gin through the bottle each time Lua tasted a glass. Lua squinted her eyes in the shape of an inequality every time the liquid passed down her throat.
“Lua, wet your body, not your tongue. If your skin feels pleasantly warm when you drink it, that is the right drink for you.”
Lena twirled her wine glass and advised Lua. Lua tilted her head.
“I don’t know. Jeo, try again by category.”
“This is too much for me. My gin is already half empty. Somi, give me some beer.”
thud.
Somi put down the second gin in front of me and smiled.
This is to see me die.
It won’t be that easy.
***
An hour after drinking.
Lena leisurely sipped her wine and observed the other members of the squadron.
“72 percent bladder load. Request fulfillment to the excretion sequence. negative. You must use the bathroom to maintain your character. When humans drink, they become dogs. … am i individual? Does a dog become a human when he drinks? So what am I now… ?”
Boksil was lying face down on the floor at attention, her ego collapsing.
It was a pretty funny scene, so Lena chuckled, but the other three were busy and couldn’t pay attention to Boksil.
The atmosphere between Chung Eui-seok and Han So-mi was so serious that there was no time to intervene.
“Why would you use such a complicated method? It’s because Eui-seok always talks honestly about his inner feelings only right before he gets drunk!”
The tone of Han So-mi’s voice, which was always soft, had risen considerably. Jung Eui-seok, who was sitting next to him, was covering his forehead with one hand.
“No, so why do you need that? You told me right after I got back from the Battle of the Raptors. I still think of you as Somi, a human being? There is no reason our relationship should change.”
“Because there is?”
Fire!
Han So-mi radiated an aura and quickly thrust her fingernails into Jung Eui-seok’s face. Jung Eui-seok reacted instinctively and raised the dragon’s power by taking a combat stance.
Jung Eui-seok shook his head and immediately lifted his guard, but the mistake could not be undone.
“Even if Eui-seok admits it with his heart, his body instincts can’t help it. actually… I committed a crime as a monster.”
“That’s what Dark Arthur did.”
“It is also my mistake. The accident itself that became Morgan was a mistake. It was my fault that I was deceived by Minseo in the first place and that Minseo made me hate me.”
“Why is it like that?”
“When I was a hero, I neglected to finish properly. At the time, I only knew that it was caring. That ambiguous attitude actually angered Minseo, Sehwa, and Yerin.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Eui-seok, who can’t understand this, is also a problem!”
bang! Somi Han hit the table.
Lena pushed a glass between them. Four people who clink glasses even unconsciously. An additional dose of alcohol entered their veins.
“So I won’t make the same mistake again. That action became a curse, made the Dragon King squadron like that, made Uiseok-ssi be betrayed, and made Ui-seok a villain.”
“I know roughly what you are talking about. Lena also commented on my attitude, and Somi says our relationship needs to change. Are you blaming me for not taking care of you?”
“Oh, it’s fortunate that you have that level of notice, Uiseok-ah.”
Lena smiled and glanced at Jung Eui-seok. Jeongui-seok was displeased.
“No, haven’t you done enough with this? They say that there is no organization of villains with as good welfare as Vengeance.”
“It’s not about the villain organization, it’s about the Vengeance Squadron of Evil, you idiot.”
Eruah threw a vicious remark at Jung Eui-seok.
Chung Eui-seok opened his mouth in shock, probably not knowing that the word fool would come out of Eru-ah’s mouth.
“What does Lua want the most right now?”
“I didn’t tell you. It’s a secret.”
“The secret is different!”
“okay?”
“That’s it. Don’t even mention it.”
Irua kept her mouth shut as if she was genuinely angry. The air becomes a bit heavy. Irua, who had been biting her lip, began to speak slowly.
“Hey, Zeo. When I am with Zeo, I feel that my value keeps decreasing.”
“why? You keep getting stronger.”
Irua let out a deep sigh and rubbed her eyes with both hands while crossing her arms.
“Jeo saved my life. Help me with revenge, and help me grow strength.”
“You were originally talented. Even if it wasn’t for me, I would have survived and become strong on my own… .”
“Always saying that such an assumption is meaningless.”
Chung Eui-seok, stung by his usual words, shut his mouth.
“Hey, Zeo. I have only one life.”
Yiruah looked directly at Jung Eui-seok and said as if pleading.
“But Zeo saved more than one life. Jeo must have saved me, Lena, Somi unnie, Blue Saber, Yellow Cloaker, Green Nature, Silver Mirror, and many other people I don’t even remember.”
“What is that?”
“So my value is getting less and less. To me, Zeo is the only special person, and to him, I am one of many.”
“her.”
“But I… I want to be treated specially by Zeo. That’s why I became stronger and worked hard as a villain.”
Jung Eui-seok was a little lost in thought. Soon he asked Eruah back.
“You want special treatment from me? already doing that You are the first member of the evil squadron I received, the number 2 in the organization, and the most trusted subordinate.”
“… I mean, no.”
Irua turned her head while speaking in a crawling voice.
“… I mean I like it.”
Silence lasted for a long time.
Eventually, Jung Eui-seok crossed his arms and opened his mouth.
“Lua, thank you for your heart. There was an accident when we first met, but it’s been a while, so even if it could have been a trigger, it wouldn’t be the absolute reason. I know your feelings. I got it right.”
“… really?”
Eruah, who was blushing, slowly lifted her head and looked at Jeongui-seok. She was almost on the verge of crying.
Seeing that, Chung Eui-seok was reluctant to answer, but he had to say something. As Han So-mi said, it seemed like the right answer when it comes to tying.
“okay. But I’m dating Somi here… .”
“is it so?”
“what?”
Jung Eui-seok was taken aback by Han So-mi’s cold voice. Lena barely held back a laugh and fanned her face with her hands.
“Eui-seok, you never asked me to go out with you, did you? I didn’t even confess.”
“uh? No, it just happened naturally.”
“Tacit consent is not a contract of consent? Hey Uiseok, did you forget that villains work by contract?”
Lena was excited and teased Jung Eui-seok.
“In the first place, there is no reason that Mr. Ui-Seok should be dating just me, right?”
“what is this sound.”
Jung Eui-seok opened his mouth wide at Han So-mi’s bombshell remark.
“Eui-seok is now a villain, right? He’s even a villain at the pinnacle. Wouldn’t it be strange that such a person is bound by the most basic moral concept?”
“It is not a matter of morality. Are you serious?”
“Eui-seok, how do you plan to fill your stinginess and lust while only dating me?”
“I will take care of it.”
“You can’t do it yourself.”
“I can’t, but. No, whoa.”
“Please answer Lua. A man who ignores a woman’s confession is the worst.”
Han So-mi said sharply to Jung Eui-seok. Jung Eui-seok stretched his back as if he was a little angry and took a deep breath.
“Luah, I’m sorry, but wait a minute. Somi Han, talk to me.”
Jung Eui-seok pulled Han So-mi by the arm and stood up and entered the room. Seeing that, Irua hit her forehead on the table.
“It’s the worst.”
“I don’t think the prejudice against heroes will ever go away.”
Lena ran her finger over the end of her wine glass and shook her head.
“Still, isn’t it refreshing to convey my heart, Lua?”
“huh. The cramped thing is gone. Ha ha, no matter how I look at it, it seems ruined. What should I do?”
“hmm? Isn’t that obvious?”
Lena approached Lua and hugged her, whispering in her ear.
“We have to fight to get it.”
“Eh… . Fighting, with whom?”
“If you knock down Han So-mi, and if necessary, you can also knock down Ui-seok and get your hands on it, isn’t it?”
“What is that.”
Irua laughed at Lena’s joke, but Lena’s expression didn’t change.
“… Sincerity?”
“If you’re strong enough now, wouldn’t you be able to do it? i’ve done it before Ellie disappeared and I knocked down my father and took his affection by force.”
“Eh… Aren’t you very vain?”
“I was satisfied. There’s no way a person can understand a person anyway, so wouldn’t it be enough to just express it well?”
Huhu, Lena laughed. She handed Lua a glass of wine.
“it’s okay. It doesn’t taste good.”
“This will be ‘delicious’.”
Irua pretended to be fooled and took a sip of wine.
“… It’s really good.”
