Chapter 132
Episode 132: I pay for the drinks today.
Jo Chun-bae, the owner of Pungryu Bar, welcomed me. I felt sorry for him because he was so happy to see me, as if a dead ancestor had come back to life..
“Welcome back! You don't know how much I've missed you.”
“Owner, you’ve made a lot of money so far.?”
“I earned a lot. Thanks to you, I am earning well..”
Thanks to the Hwangcheongak Sojibu, which was thought to last only for a while and then disappear, Magachon has been greatly purified. In particular, it has become much easier to do business as the number of drunk and mischievous warriors or those who leave without paying has almost disappeared..
“You should prepare a lot of alcohol today..”
“It's been a long time since we reunited.”
“So no. A new drinker will arrive today.”
“A drinker?”
“You'll see later.”
I went up to this floor.
Only Seo Dae-ryong and Jang-ho were there. Jangho got up and greeted me..
“Long time no see.”
“How have you been??”
I held his thick hand tightly..
“Now that Magun has settled down, work is easier than before. If there is anything you want me to do, please let me know anytime..”
Jangho’s eyes toward me remain unchanged..
Even if a year has passed, even if ten years have passed, those eyes will not change..
A person who gives you one and repays you with ten, and a person who thinks he has not yet paid back even after paying ten, is a person like Jang-ho..
Therefore, I will protect this noble loyalty. I want to raise him to a huge tree and rest in the shade of that lush tree. I have no intention of sitting on the remaining stump and reminiscing about the past..
After greeting Jang-ho, Seo Dae-ryong said:.
“Later, I told Prince Jang and this warrior who was coming. A little while ago, this warrior said he had urgent business and went back..”
Even without saying anything, I could tell why she was missing. There wouldn't be any problems because I was there, but I would still have to worry about just one case. This is because my feelings of consideration for myself are still greater than my feelings of enjoyment. You're probably sweating in the training room right now..
“And I told Prince Jang what happened earlier during the day..”
I still feel the heat that hasn't cooled down from Seo Dae-ryong. It's hotter than before. Unresolved feelings tend to grow in your heart..
“You told me to drink and inject drugs, right? You too, let out all your emotions today..”
“And then when you die?”
“Lee Inja will be the ruler here..”
Jang Ho smiled slightly and poured alcohol into Seo Dae-ryong’s cup. I know that that silent support is a great help to Seo Dae-ryong. The reason why Seo Dae-ryong uses Jang-ho as an example is probably because the person named Jang-ho is so attractive..
After everyone drank the reunion drink, I said something essential to Seo Dae-ryong..
“It's natural to be scared. If you're scared, you should be scared. You have to be afraid of scary things for your instinct to work well. You must know exactly what you are afraid of, how you react and when, and your limits..”
While we were talking about various things, two people came into the bar. It was Chuma and Yeobin..
Cho Chun-bae was really surprised when he recognized who the guest was. And I was happier than any other mazon's visit. While selling alcohol, he expressed his pleasure beyond that of welcoming drunkards as customers..
“It's an honor to visit you, Mr. Daechuma.!”
He bowed and greeted me..
When they realized that the customer who entered was drunk, the customers around them held their breath..
Chwima looked around and said.
“You are my favorite people in the world. Drink up to your heart’s content! I'll pay for the drinks today.”
Drinkers cheered at his words..
I shouted as I watched it from upstairs..
“handsome! He is the most handsome among the Magons.!”
Chuma looked up at me and smiled..
“Give me double the drinks and snacks for that seat.!”
At those words, comments saying that he was handsome came pouring in from all directions..
“Over there too! That seat too! Give me everything!”
Applause erupted and the drinkers cheered. Chuma instantly narrowed the distance as big as the Manjang Cliff that existed between the Majon and the drinkers at the Pungryu Bar..
Chwima even went to the spot on the way to this floor and poured me a drink. The drinker received the drink with his hands shaking, but it was a moment he would be proud of for the rest of his life. There were exclamations of envy and cheers from all directions..
Really, seeing how he instantly assimilated with the drinkers and got along with them made me think that intoxication was intoxication..
The drunken spirit that swept through the first floor came up to this floor..
“Lee Gongja, I’m here..”
“welcome.”
Chwima brought Yeobin to Yaksodae..
“This is Yeobin, my subordinate and the third generation drunkard of Daechwirim..”
Seo Dae-ryong and Jang-ho greeted Chwi-ma and Yeo-bin..
After exchanging greetings, we sat down together..
“I heard that Lee Gongja's guard has become more beautiful, but I can't see it today? Too bad. I had to show you this handsome face!”
Chuma knew a lot about me. I thought that maybe he knew Seo Dae-ryong or Jang-ho well..
“I guess it's really just a prejudice against hobbyists..”
“what does it mean?”
“Don't you think that people who like alcohol are usually not well-informed??”
“Since I spend a lot of time drunk, I need to be well-informed.!”
“That's true, but most drinkers don't live that way..”
Suddenly this thought occurred to me. If you peel away his preconceived notions one by one, you may begin to see the person he is..
“Are you a good drinker??”
“yes, i like it.”
She gave a short answer to my question. When I went to Daechwirim, he was a little more rigid than when he greeted me. He seemed to be careful because he was in front of a hobby horse..
I took a quick look at Seo Dae-ryong. He was nervously looking at Chu Ma and Yeo Bin..
I sent a message to Seo Dae-ryong..
―When are you going to come out??
―Do you get excited from the start of the drinking party??
―If you want to do it, do it now. If you do that while drunk, you could really die..
―Please don't sprinkle alcohol on my grave. Please just plant the flowers I grow..
It is unknown whether Seo Dae-ryong will hold back or whether he will speak out while drunk. I believe that it will be a helpful experience for him the more he holds it in and the more he takes it out..
At that time, Jo Chun-bae came up with alcohol. It was a bottle of liquor I had never seen before..
“This is a drink that I especially saved to give to Mr. Chuma when he visits our bar someday..”
Then Chuma smelled it and opened his eyes wide..
“Bonghwangdongju (鳳凰董酒))?”
“oh! You recognize me just by smell! You are truly amazing..”
“How can I not know about this rare wine made from over 200 medicinal herbs? How did you get this precious drink??”
“I once worked at a distillery in Guizhou. The teacher who taught me at that time gave it to me as a gift when we parted ways..”
“Can you give me this precious drink??”
“I am a liquor seller in the front yard of the Heavenly Demon Church. Who would I give this liquor to? I just waited for today.”
“Thank you.”
When I saw Jo Chun-bae, I pretended to be upset and shouted..
“Owner! Even though I came so often, you didn’t give it to me!”
Then Cho Chun-bae smiled and said,.
“Because this is a drink for those who really know how to drink..”
It seems that at least this alcohol was saved for a drink that would become a relationship at some point. And then he thanked me..
“Thanks to you, I have achieved my lifelong dream. thank you.”
Chu Ma poured some Phoenix Liquor and poured us a glass each. I even poured a drink for Cho Chun-bae, who refused for a long time..
“Go downstairs and share the remaining alcohol with everyone..”
The moment I heard those words, I was deeply moved by Chuma. I don't know what kind of person he is, but I thought he was at least as admirable as he willingly shared this precious liquor with drinkers..
“Thank you, everyone will like it.”
Sure enough, after a while, cheers erupted from downstairs..
“Come on, let’s have a drink too.!”
Chu Ma raised his glass and everyone in the bar toasted together..
I don't know if it was the famous liquor or the atmosphere, but the taste of the drink was amazing..
“Thanks to you, I had a good drink.”
“Is it thanks to me? Thanks to this Confucius.”
“What do you mean??”
“If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this bar, so it's all thanks to you..”
He is a person who knows how to make people feel good. The reason I don't flatter him often is because he makes me feel better first..
When Chuma drank three glasses of alcohol in a row, I said.
“Please have some snacks.”
As soon as I finished speaking, the chopsticks in front of him floated slightly. I made my chopsticks float in the air..
Then the chopsticks went down again. This time, Chuma brought it down again as an empty object..
The chopsticks went up and down and our internal battle began..
Seo Dae-ryong, Jang-ho, and Yeo-bin watched the situation with slightly nervous faces..
Chuma's inner power was stronger than I thought. Of course, I could have defeated him with my strength, but I gave in to a certain point and retreated..
Chopsticks were placed on the table.
“Master Lee, your skills are amazing..”
“Did you say that drinking alcohol makes you 30% stronger??”
After drinking the drink in front of me, I put my chopsticks in the air again..
This time, Chuma did not block it with his internal energy. I held up my chopsticks and ate my snack as if I had lost..
“Is it okay now??”
“Done.”
“Same as last time. Why is the company leader so obsessed with snacks??”
“Male or female is not the problem. It's not a question of whether it's a ledger or a small man. I'm just doing it for health reasons..”
“If you eat snacks, you will drink less..”
“That's what I'm telling you to eat. Be sure to have at least three drinks and at least one snack..”
At that moment I saw I saw Yeobin slightly lowering her head towards me. It was a thank you. From that look, I could feel that she truly cared for Chuma..
Chuma asked me.
“Why are you taking such care of my health??”
I told him after a while.
“I don't know what kind of relationship I will have with Chuma yet. Even if we become good friends, what happens if Mr. Chuma dies from alcoholism??”
“what? I? die of alcohol?”
He laughed the loudest since he met me, but I didn't laugh..
“You are such a strange person..”
“In what sense??”
“You're the only person in my life who ever worried about me getting drunk. No one you meet in the future will worry about that..”
“There will be people around other than me. It's just that I can't tell you because I'm having a hard time..”
“Okay, let’s say so. What if we become enemies? Wouldn't it be better to get sick and die early??”
“I don't want to see you making that excuse. Even if you die, you must die by my sword. They said they were enemies.?”
The somewhat harsh words froze the atmosphere for a moment, but Chuma did not feel offended at all. Instead, I smiled and drank. And I ate the snack as if I was showing off. Is it okay? yes!
The drinking atmosphere got even better. While we were having a few drinks, Seo Dae-ryong sent me a message..
―From now on, I will admit it even if they make fun of me for being a coward. Add coward to my introduction..
The decision was made to endure. It would not have been easy to pour cold water on this exciting atmosphere led by drunkards..
―I keep thinking of reasons why I shouldn't be brave. The guy who deserved to die died anyway, so I wonder if it's worth going this far. W: I think I did this because I was ordered to do it on an uninhabited island. If I want to argue, I have to argue with the horseman, but if I do that, I feel like I might die..
―Hey, coward..
Seo Dae-ryong, who was looking down at his drink, raised his head and looked at me..
I held out my glass. What needs to be said at a time like this? You grow by experiencing things like this and that..
Seo Dae-ryong smiled slightly and toasted my glass..
Chwima, who was watching the scene, said to Seo Dae-ryong:.
“You are a disciple of Blood Heavenly Chopping Demon.?”
“yes, that's right.”
He is not on good terms with Hyeolcheondoma. How will it come out? You could make fun of Hyeolcheon Doma or mock Seo Dae-ryong..
But words came out that shattered those expectations..
“you feel good.”
“yes?”
“As a military officer, I feel fine. Good luck in the future.”
“Ah, yes. thank you.”
Seo Dae-ryong, who was very nervous about what to say, was taken aback. He didn't know that Chwima would praise him like this. Still, his expression brightened as if he was happy to hear the compliment..
I was laughing and drinking, and when our eyes met, an embarrassed sound came through me..
―Yes, that's what I am! From now on, the next best Majon after Master is Chwima. That's what I am! What should I do with something good??
―I didn't say anything..
We drank again. After all, when you drink alcohol, you relax your mind. Not only Seo Dae-ryong but also Jang Ho was drinking happily while talking about various things with Yeo Bin..
We must not forget. A drunkard is a person who knows how to change the atmosphere of a drinking party with just a joke or a hand gesture, and we are in that drinking party. We must not forget that he is a man who made his history through alcohol..
When we were laughing and chatting and were in the best mood, Chuma asked me:.
“Now, how about it? Are we going to be friendly now??”
At his words, the eyes of the three people present turned to me and Chuma. The proposal of Majon to treat Cheonma's blood relatives as a courtesy was not something that was easily seen..
Chuma, what kind of feelings do you have for doing this to me? Are these the sincerity of a vain drinker who will disappear when he sobers up? Or is it a thoroughly calculated plan??
At that time, the bustling bar became quiet..
I looked down and saw someone entering the bar..
Even I didn't expect him to come here, and the person who came in wearing a long sword and giving off a cold aura was none other than Hyeolcheondoma..
Hyeolcheon Doma, who slowly walked up to this floor, sat down between me and Chuma and said..
“I'll give you a drink too.”
