Chapter 247
Episode 247: Drunk and drunk with moonlight.
Mabul opened his eyes..
He was startled and jumped up, but he was still in the world of space-time illusion, and Geomgeuk was sleeping next to him..
‘I fell asleep?’
He thought he was acting after seeing Geommugeuk sleeping on a rock.?
Not since I became a Mazon, or even before I became a Mazon, have I ever fallen asleep so defenselessly. This was the first time.
Mabul looked down at the sword dance in silence..
He was sleeping with a peaceful face.
‘Now I understand.’
No other words were needed. I could see why other mazons were captivated by Lee Gongja. If a person like this asks to be my Majon, how can I refuse??
Geommugeuk, who sensed the presence of Mabul, also woke up..
“Did I wake you up for no reason??”
“no. Although it was only for a short time, I slept soundly..”
“Let's go now.”
“That's right.”
Before leaving, Mabul looked back at the cave behind him..
“I don't think I'll ever miss this cave again..”
Mabul, who had been hiding there as a child, has now come out of that cave. Suddenly, I thought that maybe it was time for me, as an adult, to come out of the cave..
“Then, I will solve the space-time anomaly..”
When the space-time illusion disappeared, the two people stood by the stream in Cheondogrim again..
“Stop going back.”
“Already?”
“Already?”
“I want to play more.”
“What's fun about playing with an older me??”
“It's fun. And you have to get a drink..”
“Alcohol?”
“We have to get a drink from the poison king who used us as gatherers..”
I promised to buy a drink for the person who finds Chilsaengcho first..
“today? immediately?”
“Can you come here next time and talk to me? Hey there, Poison King. Didn't the person who lost the last bet decide to buy alcohol? Can you ask for this??”
Of course, that won't happen. Even if we meet here and there, we won't even talk about it. In fact, if Geommugeuk hadn't told me, I would have even forgotten that fact..
“If today passes, I will not be able to punish the poison king..”
“I really want to go until the end?”
“What should I do if I’m already tired? It seems like we played a lot, but we only played for half a day. It's not a comparison, but compared to other mazons, I spent dozens of days in exile. You know?”
“Comparison is correct.”
“Come on, let's go. You're not old enough to get tired of playing.!”
Although he was dragged away, Mabul's steps toward the poison king's residence were quick and cheerful..
* * *
Jo Chun-bae, the owner of Pungryu Bar, spoke politely to the young man who entered the bar..
“We will not be accepting any more guests today. sorry.”
If you carelessly say that you are young, you will be in big trouble. In fact, the younger you were, the more careful you had to be. Because when I was in business, I was most afraid of the immature sword that was wielded without thinking about what happened next..
At that time, Geommugeuk stood on the railing on the second floor of the tavern, looked down and said.
“I guess I'll have to say goodbye to the owner..”
He came here with Mabul about half past midnight..
“Are you leaving already??”
“No, I don't think I'll be able to see the owner again..”
“What are you saying??”
Geommugeuk spoke grimly to Jo Chun-bae, who was puzzled..
“I just told the poison king of our school to go back because I won't sell him alcohol..”
Cho Chun-bae's eyes turned to the young man. Soon, Cho Chun-bae was startled..
“Oh my! I didn't know you. sorry!”
The King of Poison stopped Cho Chun-bae from bowing to the turtle..
“There's nothing to worry about.”
Then Geommugeuk said:.
“I can't help but tremble. You probably don't know it, but my host is probably most afraid of the Poison King out of all the Mazons..”
When the poison king looked at Jo Chun-bae, he did not dare to make eye contact and lowered his head..
“Am I really the scariest??”
“That was originally the case, but I was surprised at how young and handsome he was. He is the most handsome man in Jungwon..”
The sword dance I was watching did not go away..
“Owner, what about me??”
“Gakju is the most handsome man of all time..”
Then the poison king asked coldly:.
“I'm not the best?”
“Oh my! That's not it. What I'm saying is…….”
The poison king came up to this floor, leaving him confused..
Jo Chun-bae looked up at the sword dance performance on this floor and looked thrilled..
‘Thanks to you, I am even bringing you the King of Dogs. There's no time left now.’
Geommugeuk smiled and said with his eyes.
‘I don't know yet. No one knows who else will come.’
Even the Poison King joined this floor..
“I thought you wouldn't come.”
“I left something like this, how can it not come back??”
The letter he took out had little sword dance. When I went to the poison king's residence with Mabul, of course the poison king ran away through the back door. So I left a letter to the merchant and the King of Dogs read the letter..
“If you don't buy me a drink, I'll buy it and invade the poison king's residence. We will take not only Mabul, but also Inspector Seo, Ian, Demon Lord, and Cheon Sohee.!”
The poison king said with a frown..
“How can you not come like this?!”
If he had written that he would spread the word that the Poison King had not kept his promise even after losing the bet, he would not have come. Because I'm a person who doesn't care what others think..
But what if a lot of people gather in Cheondokgrim and drink and talk loudly? That's something the poison king will never tolerate..
Of course, that wasn't the only reason I came. This letter was once again accepted as a request for help from Geommugeuk. Play with us today, it is an extension of.
“sorry. If you wanted to play with the poison king, would you have done that??”
“You had a lot of fun?”
“I have to play for seven days and seven nights so I can go somewhere and have some fun. I'm ready to sleep all night.”
The King of Poison waved his hand saying that if you sleep past midnight, it will be difficult in the morning..
“Is the person who looks the youngest nervous?!”
“You should be my age too!”
Mabul felt uncomfortable again with the arrival of the Poison King, but at the same time, he was a little happy. Mabul knew. Where would the King of Poison come because of that letter? This means that the relationship with sword dance is that deep..
I can understand why he became friends with the hobby. We can become friends while drinking. But I can't believe I could become this close to a poisonous king who lives his own world. I can't believe it even when I see it with my own eyes. To Mabul, the only inconvenient and difficult person in the world is the poison king..
“Come on, let's have a drink..”
The three people toasted and drank. It was my first time drinking with them..
Geommugeuk asked as Mabul coolly emptied his drink..
“Wasn't it originally a rule not to eat any food when you were with the King of Dogs??”
“That's right.”
“But you eat it comfortably..”
“If the King of Poisons decides to poison you, what does it mean whether you eat or not??”
The Poison King smiled slightly with an expression that said, “Yes, that is correct.”.
That's why the Poison King is scary. If he makes up his mind to do so, not even Mazon can stop him..
The King of Poison sent a message to Geommugeuk..
―It came out quite late. What were you two doing together??
―I rested and soaked my feet in the stream..
―Mabuldo?
―yes.
―I can't imagine..
You will never believe the story of us falling asleep next to each other..
We had another drink. Jo Chun-bae felt better after eating delicious food with the good liquor he had saved..
“I come to Pungryu Bar for this taste..”
When Jo Chun-bae brought a new dish, Geommugeuk said to Mabul:.
“Please leave a message or trace on that wall over there to indicate that you have been there..”
“why?”
“Most of the Majons have been here, even my father. From now on, I plan to leave a trace every time someone visits. It’s good, right? The first one is Mabul.!”
Mabul’s heart was moved by the word ‘first’. If everyone is going to have less anyway, the pointless desire to win has kicked in, thinking that it would be better to be first..
“Then where once…….”
Then a sound is heard from behind.
Swish swish.
Geomgeuk and Mabul looked back..
Before I knew it, the Poison King was writing something on the wall with chopsticks..
One line of text written in nice handwriting.
visit the poison king.
The Poison King said to Geommugeuk.
“This is how you do it?”
“Yes, but I was saying that I would give Mabul the first chance..”
“Did you do that? I didn't hear it.”
It's a sword dance. I believe that the poison king was lost in his own world again and didn't listen to the end of the conversation, but Mabul took this as a challenge..
Mabul's body glowed with golden light and a beast was caught in his hand..
flashing!
There was a trace of the Great Golden Lama on the wall. The golden dragon opened its mouth and looked like it was about to eat the writings left by the poison king..
It was Mabul's timid revenge for having his first child taken away, and it was a manifestation of Choi Sang-seung's martial arts skills, which did not break through the wall but only left traces..
“Wow!”
Before we knew it, people in the bar came up and were amazed at what was left on the wall..
The poison king's writings and Mabul's martial arts traces fit together so well, as if they were put together that way on purpose. Can onlookers even imagine? I think that dragon wants to eat that text..
As people cheered, Mabul sat down as if nothing had happened, but his face was full of pride..
The King of Poison sent a message to Geommugeuk..
―I can't believe you're upset over something like this. baby, baby.
―Who could not stand it anymore and became the first enemy? Let's be friends!
―I don’t like it, that person makes me uncomfortable in the world.!
When Geommugeuk looked back, in the distance, Cho Chun-bae was laughing so well that his mouth was tearing..
We drank again. Drink freely. I didn't necessarily suggest it, and I didn't make any effort to continue the conversation. When there is silence, it flows as it does, and when it comes to various miscellaneous stories, it goes as it is. I drank alcohol comfortably.
Geommugeuk was drinking and looked out through the window on this floor. Because it wasn't late at night yet, there were a lot of people passing by..
As I was blankly clearing my head and watching people, I saw the Poison King disappear among the people. Before I knew it, he had already paid for the drinks and left without saying goodbye..
At that time, Mabul asked from behind..
“How can I trust you? I know you won't change your mind when you become the Heavenly Demon..”
I asked him to put it all down and just relax and have a drink..
Geommugeuk answered without turning around..
“I don't know.”
These people find it so difficult to take a day off..
* * *
When Mabul returned to his residence, someone was waiting in the yard. He was none other than Geommuyang..
“Confucius!”
Mabul was drunk and had a bottle of alcohol in his hand..
“Did you have a drink??”
“Yes, it's been a while since I had a drink..”
“Please give me a drink too.”
“Of course. I'll bring you a glass..”
“No, just give it to me..”
Now both of them felt strange..
Mabul was not the type of person to buy and bring alcohol, and Geommuyang was not the type of person to drink alcohol from the bottle..
“Today, I met Lee Gongja and the King of Poison. I'm on my way after drinking with them..”
“That's right.”
After taking a sip of alcohol, the gaze of the two people naturally turned to the night sky..
It occurred to me that Mabul looked up at the sky a lot today. During the day, there's a sword dance, and at night, there's a sword dance,.
Geommyang glanced at Mabul. The intoxicating red cheeks were shining with a unique color in combination with the golden light. It's not just because the colors are different. Mabul was different from usual today..
Geommuyang's heart became heavy as she guessed where it might have originated. Even if everyone else leaves, I hoped that Mabul would stay by my side. I didn't express it, but I felt anxious..
To be honest, there were times when he hoped that Hyeolcheondomana or another mazon would be his right hand man. I didn't know that Mabul was the kind of person who cared for me this much..
“The King of Poison seemed to have completely turned towards Gongja Lee..”
Mabul spoke frankly..
Now we have to make him face reality. It will be okay, I will try harder. Now those words will push Geommuyang even further to the edge of the cliff..
Now is the time to walk off the edge of the cliff with him..
Looks like we're done here, Archduke..
But no words came out. I couldn't stop talking.
Mabul looked at Geommuyang..
Even when told that the poison king had turned around, Geommuyang remained calm. In the past, he would pretend to be fine, but suddenly he would say something cold, or he would shift that responsibility to Mabul. There would have been an angry reaction..
But Geommuyang was calm as if she had expected it..
“Now there's only one horse left..”
I was actually grateful that they told me that it was not Mabulnim and Gwonma, but just one person..
At least he was saying that he believed that he would not change and that he would be left out of the picture..
Through this process, I was able to see that Geommuyang had grown. Refer to it again and again. He must have suffered from the desire to kill Geommugeuk several times a day. Even if he tried everything he could, he would have been tempted to kill him first..
And he endured it admirably. Whether it's because of the Heavenly Demon's feelings, whether it's because of his relationship with Sword Dance, or whether he's not that kind of evil person by nature. Anyway, I endured it well..
So I really wanted to say this.
Let’s try it till the end! I will act as a daily wage earner..
But it didn't happen. Because that was actually a statement to deceive the Archduke..
Lee Gong-ja is an opponent that cannot be defeated..
Did Geommuyang read this resignation in his eyes??
After getting drunk and under the moonlight, I understand..
Why did you stay until the end? It wasn't because the sword dance was nearing the end. Even if it was the first approach, the result would have been the same..
Although his parents could not protect him, it was because of his desire to protect the Archduke until the end. So, to Mabul, the Archduke was both his child and himself at the same time..
Even if the Archduke does not become his successor, I will not leave his side..
“What kind of person is Mugeuk in the eyes of Majon? Please be honest.”
After a moment, Mabul said:.
“I'm not sure what kind of person this is.”
With that answer, Geommuyang was convinced. Even Mabul was shaken by Geommugeuk. I could tell just by looking at the fact that he brought alcohol. A bottle of alcohol in Mabul’s hand? never seen it before.
“In the sense that I don't know what kind of person he is, Mugeuk resembles his father more than me..”
Geommuyang smiled at Mabul, bowed slightly, then turned around..
Mabul said to him as he walked away..
“Grand Duke!”
“why are you like that?”
“The person who resembles you is the Archduke..”
“Is that so??”
“yes, i'm sure.”
Geommuyang, who was walking slowly, looked back..
Mabul, who was looking up at the night sky, drank from the bottle. I drank without stopping for a while.
Geommuyang realized that it was time for him to make a decision..
