Chapter 82
“Damn there’s no room today right? Hey Matt! “Make some space!”
“If you want a seat bring your own chair and desk or why are you busy?”
“What are your habits when speaking to guests?”
“A scoundrel like you is not my guest so get the hell out of here!”
“This bastard…!”
A person who appeared to be a customer and someone who appeared to be the store owner argued but no one paid any attention.
Because this was a common occurrence…
On the contrary there are people who enjoy such fights as a spectacle.
Public House·
It was a popular space and a type of bar frequented by commoners as well as a store that served as an inn.
There were more people who shortened it to ‘Pub’.
It was a noisy pub that was always busy and it was a place where drunk people flocked in even late at night so shouting and fighting never stopped but fortunately there were very few incidents of mishaps.
That’s right…
“Hey I don’t mind fighting but just make sure you don’t come out to the guild… Then you’ll be the only one who loses…”
“····”
Most places like pubs are affiliated with guilds.
Therefore it is common sense that even if a fight breaks out it ends quietly.
“Tch I’ll take care of it. Just give me some really bad food.”
“···This bastard only talks about making fists…”
Also although the taste is not guaranteed you can have a hearty meal at a cheap price and alcohol and coffee are also cheap so it is a loss to get into trouble with the pub owner.
Knowing this it was a carpenter who handed out an apple as a rough tip and people drank cheap lager as if they were feeling dispirited as they faced the entertainment that was over in an instant.
In the midst of all the commotion two people had a drink in the pub’s third-floor lounge where you can have a drink in comfort for a small fee.
Ah exactly…
“Where are you going to drink?”
“I’m an adult too right?”
“You must be an adult but don’t you know that academy cadets are prohibited from drinking or dancing until they graduate? “You have the guts to dare to break the rules in front of the instructor.”
“···That’s too much·”
The man ordered a drink alone and the shy boy had to look down on his face and slurp down the orange juice.
I can’t help but feel sad that I have to drink juice when there is alcohol in front of me…
“-uh? “Is it delicious?”
Orange juice is refreshing and refreshing for a moment when you feel like crying.
This means that it is more delicious than you can imagine.
Wasn’t this a place that only sold cheap things?
The man Lee Han looked at him with a surprised expression and said
“The reason why I like this pub is that they give you pretty good products if you pay money. The ingredients used in the orange juice are also quite special as they are sourced from the South. Although you can’t drink alcohol it will be enough to appease your regrets.”
“That’s awesome…”
“The kingdom’s food culture is quite good so the alcohol is especially delicious. Be sure to try it when you graduate later.”
“···gulp·”
“The child was a drinker…”
Contrary to what it looks like I know the taste of alcohol…
Well it wouldn’t be surprising since some people who can’t properly express their true feelings resort to alcohol to relieve their stress.
‘Maybe I should have let you have a drink?’
···Hmm no· I think this is correct·
He and that guy both have their own positions…
It would be right not to do anything that could cause criticism in the first place.
Lee Han gathered his strength to become weak and took a sip of the ale.
The rich aroma and richness of barley…
The barley is also commercially available and has not been diluted making it extremely flavorful.
It tastes exactly 5 times better than the beer I drank in my previous life.
‘I don’t know anything else but the kingdom makes really good beer…’
As expected the ale that was properly aged in oak barrels was excellent.
“As expected I like ale more than lager.”
Although it is less refreshing than lager it has a subtle fruity flavor so Lee Han preferred ale.
Well in the end either way is worth the money…
“Aren’t you overdoing it? “If it’s a lounge on the 3rd floor the prices will be quite high and the menu you have to order will be expensive…”
“In return it’s worth it. You can eat delicious food in peace.”
Unlike the 12th floor the 3rd floor is somewhat more expensive but it is worth it.
If I had drank it on the 12th floor I would have thrown away my taste for lukewarm watery beer.
In that case it’s better to pay some money and eat something good.
“Two of the things I don’t save money on are equipment and food. So eat well too because today I’m shooting.”
“···I will eat it gratefully·”
“Thank you I live because I am grateful.”
“haha····”
Derek smiled awkwardly and felt awkward about Lee Han who treated him well.
I know it’s a way to express my gratitude for making a leap forward so there’s nothing wrong with refusing.
To be honest I really want to go home and sleep right away but…
‘It’s okay though…’
Like the food and the atmosphere…
It wasn’t too bad…
In my busy life I have rarely had this kind of leisure…
“Now order whatever you want because my wallet is fat today.”
“···Well then just a few more…”
“Yeah yeah…”
I feel a happy gaze…
The view that you feel full just by eating…
Derek met his honey-dripping gaze and felt that he was quite grateful to him.
Did he really like the elixir that much?
‘I did pay attention to poetry…’
As the person who created the elixir I am satisfied but also embarrassed.
He also did his best to repay the debt of his heart…
“-haha·”
Shocking…!!
For a moment Derek felt cold and shivered.
‘What is it?’
The moment I made eye contact with him smiling contentedly an indescribable chill ran down my spine.
The thief skill [Crisis Detection] sends out a warning signal like crazy…!
I wondered what it would be like to look into the eyes of a wild beast hunting its prey and Derek recalled that he had felt a similar sensation somewhere before.
‘Where did I get this feeling?’
It’s not just a treat to express gratitude it’s a treat that feels like a plan…
In this uncomfortable atmosphere I slowly recall memories that were sleeping in a corner of my mind.
‘···ah·’
And suddenly I remembered…
When did you get this feeling?
It was around the time when I was a private first class in my previous life…
‘When Chief Petty Officer Joo took me to the rib restaurant to ask if I wanted to become a specialist sergeant I was sure…!?’
Jureuk…!
At one point Derek broke into a cold sweat.
···For some reason I feel like I’ve voluntarily entered into a trap…
‘I’m glad I can’t drink alcohol…’
Derek was relieved and said he was glad he didn’t drink.
Because there was a possibility of escaping from a situation where one would have been swallowed up by a tiger
And the instructor who had a plan and wondered how he could make him a teaching assistant…
‘The way this guy is rolling his eyes seems like he’s trying to escape…
···anyhow·
‘That’s why this perspicacious little boy…’
The instructor was disappointed!
* * *
···There was a subversive(?) purpose but the food was delicious anyway·
Even meat dishes such as gambas and high-quality octopus dishes and roast beef.
It is a high-quality delicious meal and snack that you cannot think of as coming from a pub.
However Lee Han only drank two glasses of ale and did not drink more than three glasses.
When I asked why a man who looked like he could empty an entire oak barrel just by looking at it he only drank two glasses…
“It’s okay to just enjoy alcohol lightly. No one wants to make a big splash so two glasses are enough.”
“···umm·”
A reasonable answer…
The boy who was tired of the culture of drinking whole cups of alcohol ended up making a strange expression.
When I saw that he was healthier than I thought I couldn’t think of him as someone from my hometown again…
‘I guess he’s not really a martial artist right?’
Derek swallowed his sleep wondering if he was too much of a hybrid.
“Why are you eating so carelessly? “Eat a lot eat a lot…”
“···Ah yes…”
When I see him behaving like this and offering food it seems like he’s from the same country…
‘···No this is also a vain idea…’
Derek admitted that he was being overly sensitive to all of his actions right now.
You may have met someone for the first time… a person who may be in a similar ‘situation’…
Because of this excitement we try to give meaning to even the smallest actions.
This was a disease…
A disease with the name [excess]
‘Let’s not attach any particular meaning to it now…’
Even if he is from the same country their current position will not change.
I don’t know if he shows off as a fellow countryman and reveals his true feelings first but isn’t that the case?
··· He did not have the courage to reveal his true feelings first ···
At times like this he really hates my personality ·
‘Why am I so frustrated?’
Derek looked like he was crying…
“…You play well by yourself…”
“!?!!”
“You furrow your brows while thinking and then suddenly look like you’re crying… It’s a condition that someone would suspect of schizophrenia…”
“Oh no nothing like that!”
“No looking at your current condition you are in the early stages of schizophrenia. If it is dangerous the instructor will hit you on the back of the head as hard as possible to make you say it.”
“…If I do that won’t my head explode and I’ll die…?”
“I am confident in controlling my strength. I will just fix my hair.”
“···Even if I develop schizophrenia I will just go to the temple…”
Derek was sincere…
Rather than believing in folk remedies I would rather just believe in a temple.
“Well it’s good if you don’t mind… If you’re having a hard time in your head there are times when confiding in others can be the answer… It’s okay to consult with your instructor and it’s probably okay to confide in your girlfriend.”
“Lady Ka Karin and I are not in that kind of relationship!”
“…You didn’t specifically point out Boradori?”
“!!?”
“Well be careful about salting in front of Solo… This instructor’s fist may be a means of punishment rather than a means of treatment…”
“It’s really not like that…”
Derek blurted out his truth but he didn’t seem to believe it at all and even the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Derek ended up crying at the fact that one of his weaknesses had been discovered.
at that time·
“-Still what I just said is sincere… If you have a complicated head it’s good to have someone to confide in… Because I don’t recommend suffering too much alone…”
“···”
Serious advice from the company
That is not advice given by someone who has lived a little longer than me but advice based on experience from someone who has lived a similar life before me…
Derek thought…
Because I could feel the desperation that was pounding his heart to that degree.
Indeed…
‘What was he doing?’
Derek blinked saying it was amazing how curious he was about other people’s pasts.
··· Meanwhile without knowing Derek’s thoughts who were quite curious about his past Lee Han put water in his mouth and narrowed his eyes ·
‘Ugh I can’t even come to this store anymore…’
Lee Han shook his head as he felt the crowd of people filling the 12th floor.
Some people may wonder if it’s just because there are a lot of customers or maybe he’s like this because he doesn’t like crowds…
That’s why he didn’t want to change his regulars for no reason…
‘This is full of rats…’
Half of the noisy people on the 12th floor…
I feel awkward in every half of it…
There are so many people from those who deliberately fight with store owners to those who talk so loudly that it feels awkward.
And all of them are listening intently to their movements…
Did you say that birds hear what you say during the day and mice hear what you say at night?
They were just rats who put this into practice…
‘···It’s annoying…’
I wanted to have a very serious talk with Taechang today…
Since alcohol was involved he made up his mind and wanted to dig deep into the story of ‘this world view’ or even the story of ‘past life’ or ‘possession’.
So I spent some money and got a seat in the lounge…
‘I won’t be able to go anywhere and talk for a while…’
As things stand right now I shouldn’t make a fuss no matter where I go…
Even at home I can’t feel safe…
I heard that among the informants there are [mystery holders] and there are also mysteries that borrow the ears of sparrows or cats…
‘Is this why I’m scared of the attention?’
As the value of Lee Han’s name increased the previous day interest in him grew.
That’s probably why the number of people trying to figure out him like this has increased…
And I can roughly guess who the people who are trying to check the liver are.
‘Information Guild·’
Going further I think the [guild total] may have taken action…
Tuktuk·
Lee Han lightly hit the table and thought hard.
I was wondering what to do with these trivial things…
‘···Should I hurry?’
I still needed a practical test…
It might be a good idea to stab yourself to see how much your physical condition has changed…
Lee Han focused on the feel of his hatchet which he secretly placed in his arms.
Sensitive senses so that you can pull it out at any time.
As the momentum gradually boils over…
“···huh?”
─He blinked at the appearance of an unexpected person·
I thought maybe his senses were wrong but unfortunately his senses boasted the performance of a drug dog able to distinguish the other person’s body odor even from 3km away.
Just like that he opened his mouth blankly at the appearance of a person who did not fit in with this pub at all…
“···Gomsoon?”
The East Earthquake occurred…
Levi Fault·
Lee Han was unusually embarrassed when he sensed the presence of a girl who was an honor student.
A word from the author (author review)
Thank you for watching·
