The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 177
EP.177 Interlude - Farewell note
* * *
The two headed toward the same place as if they had made a promise..
It was the floor in front of the pond that had the most tranquil and pleasant atmosphere in the palace..
Whenever I needed to drink or have a conversation, I always came here, but at some point, it became a promise..
“What are you drinking today??”
“It's not that great. This alcohol was said to have been discovered while Tangmun was clearing out hidden items and land, and Hyangi gave it to him to drink as it would not be good for Yimun if he sold it..”
Mo Liwon stared at the white-blue liquor bottle..
Contrary to what Danghwaseo said, it was a very valuable liquor from the bottle..
If it was in a secret safe belonging to the Tang Dynasty, it wouldn't have been ordinary alcohol, but is he being humble?.
Immediately after, Mok Riwon looked at the dumplings he was holding in his arms..
For no reason, a feeling of shame came to mind..
“Umm, I'm sorry I couldn't bring decent snacks with good drinks. Since Master was away, I made dumplings myself.….”
Could it be that it makes the taste of alcohol worse?.
When Mokriwon asked worriedly, Danghwaseo immediately denied it..
“It is a snack more special than anything else in the world..”
“Well, not to that extent..”
“For me it is.”
Danghwaseo said, picking up the dumpling and taking a bite..
“It's delicious.”
He says with a grin. I could tell just by looking at the satisfaction on her face that this wasn't just something she said..
Mok Riwon laughed like a fool..
I was half grateful and half proud..
“Please take the drink..”
Perfect! The moment Danghwaseo unsealed the glass, a bittersweet scent filled the entire space..
Mokriwon was very surprised..
“Sozer! this is…!”
“I heard people say that I used a drop of Gongcheong Petroleum. Well, isn’t it just one drop?.”
“It's barely a drop.!”
I could clearly tell from the scent it gave off..
This is a drink that has reached the peak of luxury..
Normally, with just one drop of Gongcheong Petroleum, you can obtain as much as 10% of energy power..
In other words, in order to extract maximum efficiency, this Gongcheong Petroleum must be well purified and consumed whole..
‘Turn this treasure into alcohol…!’
Of course, even if it is made with alcohol, you can aim to improve your endurance..
But even if you drink the whole bottle, you won't be half old..
Even if it’s a waste, can it be this much of a waste?.
Mokriwon sighed, but Danghwaseo said as if nothing had happened..
“Are you not going to drink it??”
“Yes, I'm going to drink it.!”
Mok Ri-won accepted the cup with both hands..
My concentration was stronger than ever..
Danghwaseo chuckled and poured himself a little more than half of the glass..
“Ha, but.”
Mok Ri-won asked, belatedly worried..
“Still, it is a valuable item belonging to an elixir, so you can give me something like this.?”
“Who do you give it to if not your small group?.”
“I can't drink it all by myself..”
“It is done. I think it is more valuable to see a face that the small group likes..”
What does it mean?.
Anyway, it was clear that these words made my heart flutter..
Mo Liwon felt his face heating up even before he drank..
“Please eat it.”
Dang Hwa-seo, who poured alcohol into his own glass, recommended it again..
Mo Ri-won closed his eyes tightly and took a gulp of alcohol..
‘Feel so good!’
Ah, I guess there was a reason for this extravagance..
The flavor and depth of the liquor mixed with Gongcheong Petroleum was greater than any other liquor that Mok Ri-won had ever tasted, and for that reason, the words that came out of his mouth were elastic..
“It's okay. The taste is.”
Danghwaseo even commented on that great drink..
It's something I feel again, but I feel like I'm really dull in the taste of alcohol..
I don't know the reason because Danghwaseo never told me..
My thoughts were continuing..
‘Come to think of it….’
I've never seen Sojeo drunk before.!
Mok Riwon came to a belated realization..
And that aroused quite a deep curiosity in Mok Riwon..
‘Monk Ilun doesn't drink alcohol, so I don't know.….’
Mokriwon already knows about the injections of other members..
Whenever Hye-woon drinks, she looks at the men around her with the eyes of a beast..
Jegal-san scratches his stomach and disappears somewhere, leaving a palm print on his cheek the next day, and Namgung Jincheon falls asleep on the spot the moment he gets drunk..
But the only thing I don't know is Danghwaseo, who has been with me the longest..
Mokriwon began to worry..
‘Gu, I’m curious.!’
Isn’t that right?.
Isn’t it a different side of the other person, or true feelings, that is not usually revealed?.
There is even a saying that it is a drunken joke, so you might hear a very drunk Dang Hwa-seo tell you what he thinks of you..
Mok Riwon’s cheeks became a little redder..
Curiosity eventually leads to a decision.
‘Do it, let's do it!’
“soger!”
“yes.”
“It's such a good drink, so it's no good to push away the intoxication with inner energy! I'm going to get very drunk today.!”
“hmm? Would you mind??”
“It's okay!”
Mokriwon shouted with enthusiasm..
Dang Hwa-seo looked at him blankly and then nodded..
“Yes, let's try that..”
Just when the bottle reached its bottom, Mok Riwon fainted..
*
“Ugh….”
Danghwaseo chuckled at the sight of Mokriwon groaning with his head cut on his thigh..
“So why is a person who can't even drink being so unreasonable?.”
I know what you're thinking..
His eyes were sparkling with curiosity or playfulness, and his strange expression made him want to know what his injection was..
Of course, it is a wish that will never come true in my lifetime..
Danghwaseo was a body that did not feel drunk..
“Anyway, you really are like a child..”
Dang Hwa Seo smiled slightly and stroked Mo Ri Won's cheek..
Then, a strange feeling of regret and worry was mixed inside..
Now goodbye for a while.
Will this innocent man be able to get along?.
It feels like watching a child released into the water..
Of course, the Girl King is with him..
As one of the absolute leaders of Gangho, even if Mokriwon gets into an accident, he will most likely be able to prevent it..
But why can’t my worries go away?.
Probably for a slightly selfish reason..
“I think I'll miss you a lot.”
Now I have to leave for Cheonghae.
You will also be separated from the members..
Just today, during the day, an order was given to everyone to return to their original positions and volunteer for the war..
It hurts me so much to have moments where I have to be alone without him, and I can't help but feel bad about the man I've delved into so deeply in just over half a year..
“Perhaps Sohyeop will have to carry a heavy burden again..”
It has the power of a thousand deaths. That's not enough, it's reaching the extreme limit..
Moreover, they cannot tell us anything about this incident in depth, which means that all they can say is that leaving with the Girl King is related to it..
The only thing that Mok Ri-won tries to hide from himself is related to the nature of Heavenly Death..
“You must tell me when you come back.?”
I'm so worried..
It really breaks my heart to see how such a weak-hearted person lives with such karma..
Danghwaseo soothed her regret by repeatedly saying things that would never be answered..
Meanwhile, Mok Riwon was tossing and turning..
“Umm….”
I have a bad complexion.
I feel like I might get an upset stomach if I fall asleep outside like this..
I guess I should let it go soon.
Danghwaseo raised Mokriwon’s upper body up..
Then I saw his face closer..
The long eyelashes, sharp bridge of the nose, and thin facial lines were closer to femininity rather than masculinity..
There is probably no one else to whom the curse of ‘gisaeng old lady’ fits so well..
If you're the only one who doesn't know about a funny topic and act like a local mutt, that's attractive..
Anyway, beautiful appearance that steals attention.
Danghwaseo looked at it for a while, then suddenly a thought came to mind..
‘…I'll be away for a little while.’
I guess this is okay.
Just one more memory to look back on..
Danghwaseo felt his heart pounding..
For some reason, I felt like I was making a very big mistake, but I didn't feel like stopping..
‘It's because I'm drunk.’
Danghwaseo put his head forward, remembering such an excuse for a topic he wasn't even drunk on..
Side, our lips touched.
Danghwaseo felt like he was shaking with a sense of immorality..
My face turns red. When I slowly open my eyes, I see Mokriwon still sleeping..
Shame on you, I am so stupid that you don't even know how I feel, so I think I should punish you for no reason..
Danghwaseo bit Mokriwon’s lower lip tightly..
As Mokriwon's teeth open, the smell of alcohol wafts out..
not bad. Rather, it makes me feel weird..
I wanted to stay like this longer.
But that would be rude to Mok Riwon..
More than anything, I felt like I was going to get carried away and cross the line..
You can't just rape an innocent country boy..
Isn't that a dirty thing that even a black man wouldn't do?.
“I'm only looking at you for today..”
Punishment given to Mok-ri-won who sneakily tried to get a young woman drunk..
Danghwaseo, who had already finished rationalizing, let out a long breath and lifted his head..
A satisfied smile appeared on her face..
“Okay, now let's go..”
Danghwaseo hugged Mokriwon..
And then he went into his sleeping quarters..
“Ugh, sister…?”
For some reason, Zhuge Shan was stuck in his dorm..
“Mok Sohyeop was very drunk..”
“Oh, really? Watch here….”
The footsteps of Zhuge Mountain stopped approaching..
The gaze was directed towards Mok Riwon's lips..
The stiff figure seemed to have noticed something..
‘If you're quick to notice.’
Zhuge Mountain looked at Tanghuashu with trembling like a citizen who had witnessed a vicious devil..
Danghwaseo felt guilty..
But even then, his mouth diligently spewed out lies..
“There were mosquitoes.”
“…In this cold weather?”
“mosquito.”
“….”
“mosquito.”
Danghwaseo opened his eyes wide..
Zhuge Shan shrugged his shoulders in surprise..
“Do you understand? It's a mosquito.”
Zhuge Shan nodded like a crazy person..
Only then did Danghwaseo hand over Mogliwon to Zhugeshan..
“They say he's leaving early tomorrow morning, so put him to bed right away..”
Danghwaseo left the accommodation and closed the door..
Through the gap in the closed door, I could hear Zhuge Shan's voice hitting the floor and wailing loudly..
“Throat ow! I'm sorry! It's all my fault! Please forgive this ugly brother.!!!”
You're doing all sorts of things..
Danghwaseo snorted and left for his quarters..
Only she did not know that Tang Hwa-seo's conscience was starting to wear away little by little..
*
The next morning, Mile-seok asked Mok-ri-won, who was leaving on the road..
“Why are your lips like that??”
“Hmm? Oh, I think I got bitten by a mosquito! Because I got too drunk yesterday.”
Mok Riwon smiled shyly..
Anyway, when I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see that my lower lip was swollen..
When I looked closely, I noticed that the area was more red and swollen than other parts..
Even in this weather, there are mosquitoes, Mokriwon thought, wondering what the world would be like..
“…Is it really a mosquito??”
Mileseok asked with a shocked expression..
Mo Riwon tilted his head..
“Is there any reason other than mosquitoes??”
Miles kept his mouth shut..
Then I turned my head and sighed..
“…It is nothing.”
Mokriwon thought.
Why is Miles like that?.
