Chapter 385
Episode 385 Today, Danju is the youngest.
The day of the meeting has finally arrived..
Cho Chun-bae, who started preparing for the funeral earlier than usual, wrote a message on a piece of paper and placed it in large letters at the entrance..
Closed on Friday).
Cho Chun-bae took a deep breath as he looked at the writing he had written. It's finally today! You can do well, Chunbae..
“Is something happening today??”
Mr. Yang of the dry goods store asked worriedly..
“There is a Protestant meeting at the tavern today..”
It was kept a secret until today, but we can finally reveal it..
Of course Mr. Yang was surprised..
“There is a Protestant meeting held in your tavern.?”
“That's right.”
“Congratulations, congratulations.”
Since everyone knew that Jo Chun-bae had a close relationship with Sogyoju and that he visited the tavern not only with Protestant Magons but also with Cheonma, it was not surprising that a meeting was held..
“Can I go see it later??”
“If you had the courage to do so, you would have been living the life wearing the military uniform you sell..”
Mr. Yang chuckled, saying that was correct..
“Do your best.”
“Thank you.”
Songi, who helps him in the kitchen, also came out earlier than usual. Rather, there wasn't much to prepare. This is because Cho Chun-bae prepared everything in advance. So that the food can be served even if an order is placed right away..
“I'm not scared of the owner.?”
Songi was very scared of today’s meeting..
“What's so scary??”
“There won't be a lot of demons here today.?”
“Don't be scared. We have a small religious leader. The most reliable person in the world is on our side, so why should we be afraid? And there are some stupid things that bother people, but the real experts are decent..”
After comforting Songi, Cho Chun-bae came out the back door of the kitchen..
In fact, Cho Chun-bae was also nervous. There was a world of difference between the burden of treating someone who came unexpectedly and the burden of preparing and serving them like this..
At that time, an old man came in through the back door..
“Sir, there is no business today. And you can't come in here..”
“Are you the owner of this place??”
“Yes, but.”
“I have something to ask. My legs hurt so I took a short break and got a tax cut..”
The old man sat down on a small bench in the backyard..
Judging by the wrinkles on his face, he was quite an old man, but he had a very strong physique. I thought he must have had the same temper when he was young as he had two eyes that were fierce like a tiger..
Other than that it was normal. I looked at the old man with the sense and insight I had accumulated from my long experience in the business, but he did not look like an unmanned person. He didn't seem like a bad person.
“This is someone I haven't seen before.?”
“I'm from Hubei.”
“Wow, you came from far away. What brought you here??”
“I'm here to meet someone.”
“An older person worked hard. Should I get you a glass of water??”
“It's okay.”
“Why did you come all this way to meet someone??”
“If you're an enemy, you're an enemy. Also, if you are close, you are close..”
Then Cho Chun-bae asked cautiously:.
“Maybe you came to see your child??”
For a moment, the old man's face hardened and a shadow that could not be hidden was cast..
Cho Chun-bae thought his guess was correct. This was often the case. These are the elderly people who live separated from their children and come a long way with the intention of seeing the faces of their children and grandchildren before they die..
“How long has it been since you last seen it??”
“It must have been over a decade.”
Cho Chun-bae felt sorry inside. Didn’t you also experience something big related to your family this time??
“Where did you decide to look??”
“We agreed to meet at this bar..”
“Oh my! Why did you choose today? The bar is closed today. When are you supposed to meet??”
“There was still time left, but I came early. I'm also curious as to what plan they had for setting the meeting place here..”
I could tell just by hearing the word kkung kkung. The relationship between this proud old man and his children is not good..
“Please make peace now.”
“Should I do that??”
“When you do business here, you meet all kinds of people. Hate and fight until you die. But I regret it all later. All you have to do is be patient for a moment and be a little lenient, but I wonder why I built up such pride. Aren't you or I past the age where you can stop me? No, I'm at the age where I should throw away the blades..”
The old man stared at Jo Chun-bae in silence..
“If you do it later, it will be too late. If you see it, say the old man was at fault first. Isn’t that what an adult is? Kill your temper.”
“Why do you think I have a temper??”
“We know it when we see the face. You were never angry when you were young.?”
The old man smiled strangely..
“I did it.”
“I also have the right eye for seeing people..”
Suddenly, King Sook-su, who I didn't recognize properly, passed through my mind, but I quickly let it go..
“Anyway, there is no business today, so please wait in the guest room downstairs. If anyone comes looking for an elderly person, I will definitely tell them to go there..”
Given today’s atmosphere, it won’t be easy to convey that message. Should I ask the demon guarding the entrance a favor? I was worried for no reason that my paths would diverge and I would never see my child again..
At that time, the old man suddenly asked.
“I heard there is a headquarters of the Demonic Cult near here. Have you ever seen the Heavenly Demon??”
Is this old man crazy??
“Who are you daring to put in your mouth? If you say something like that in Maga Village, you won't die a nice death..”
“I'm sorry.”
I was thinking of kicking them out right away, but the old man who came from far away to see his children said no, so I answered..
“Have you seen it? The religious leader also came to our tavern..”
“What kind of person are you? Is he as scary as the rumors say in Moorim??”
“He may be scary to political factions and factions, but he is kind to us. And he is the person I respect the most..”
“For protecting you from political factions and Safaites.?”
“Of course, there are reasons for that too..”
Cho Chun-bae gave a surprising reason..
“I'm glad you're my father..”
Cho Chun-bae spoke these words for the first time. I also found out for the first time. Are you thinking like this?.
‘But this old man, he looks at me like he knows something? What do you know about Sogyoju??’
At that time, I heard Songi’s voice inside..
“Senior, a guest has arrived.!”
“Going.”
Cho Chun-bae woke up.
“Please go quickly. If you wander around here today, you could get into big trouble, so please wait in the guest room. I understand?”
“Thank you. See you later.”
“That's because you can't see me today.!”
Cho Chun-bae hurried into the building..
The customer who came to the bar was an unexpected person..
“uh? Monarch.”
He was none other than Demon Lord Jangho. Unlike when I usually come to drink in ordinary military uniform, today I came dressed in the formal attire of a magician..
When I saw the scary demon symbol drawn on my chest, I was filled with fear and couldn't help but think, "Oh, this is the leader of that scary demon army.".
“Lord Jang, what's going on??”
“I'm going to do some seating arrangements for today's meeting..”
“Just say the word and I will do it..”
“No, I'll take care of it..”
Jangho went up to this floor..
He arranged the table and chairs so that the three people could see each other in a triangle..
Cho Chun-bae was secretly curious..
‘Are there three people coming to the meeting today??’
I thought it was a gathering of many people, but it seems not. However, it is only a meeting of three people, and the King Sooksu comes to check the cooking and the Demon Lord himself comes to arrange the seats.?
‘omg! no way? Is the leader coming??’
Then he quickly shook his head. If that were the case, there would be no way to arrange the seats like that. The seat for the religious leader must have been placed at the head of the table. Now the three seats were facing each other equally..
“But why do you do it yourself? Don't make your subordinates do it..”
“My men won't be here today..”
Cho Chun-bae did not know. Today, no one below the level of a single owner can come to Pungryu Bar. The owners were the youngest here today..
The leaders of each organization were stationed throughout the streets like ordinary military personnel..
“No one else will be allowed into the pub..”
Cho Chun-bae stopped talking about the old man. He's already been there anyway. Needless to say, if the old man is taken away by demons and interrogated, he will not be able to see his children..
At that time, a person entered the bar..
Surprisingly, he was a boxing horse. When Jo Chun-bae saw that scary face, his heart pounded..
‘It looks like Madam Kwon is also attending the meeting..’
Kwon Ma exchanged greetings with Jang Ho..
With the two of them standing side by side, it felt like the room was filling up. Besides, aren't they the two scariest looking people in the Heavenly Demon Church? When the two impressionists met, Cho Chun-bae didn't even dare to look at him..
After a brief conversation with Jang-ho, Kwon Ma approached Cho Chun-bae..
‘Oh, I should have gone into the kitchen earlier..’
The horse came right in front of me and asked an unexpected question..
“There is no problem preparing food.?”
Kwon Ma asks him to prepare food.?
Cho Chun-bae looked at Kwon Ma with a surprised face and then urgently lowered his head. It's a face I can't face because I'm scared..
“Don't be surprised. I was in charge of the security of today's meeting..”
Gwonma was in charge of safety? Rather than attending today’s meeting as the main character? why?
“Food preparation is no problem. You can get it delivered at any time just by placing an order..”
“Before the food is served, an attendant from our school will come and inspect it for poison. Please understand, not because I doubt you, but because it is a matter of procedure..”
“Of course.”
Cho Chun-bae entered the kitchen. I already felt like my legs were losing strength..
What reason would there be for the Majon, and that scary horseman at that, to explain everything like this to a bar owner? Originally I didn't do it. I wouldn't have done it forever. If it wasn't for Sogyoju..
It was at that moment when Jo Chun-bae looked into the bubbling broth..
Another mazon came into the bar..
It was a Hyeolcheon Doma with a large sword on its back. He also wore different clothes than usual..
He was wearing a red jangsam, symbolizing the blood-red sky. The Hyeolcheon Doma of today was not the Hyeolcheon Doma of those days, when people read poetry and paintings, performed sword dances and joked around..
A frost-like chill was rising in the sly eyes..
Cho Chun-bae felt suffocated, so he quickly turned his head and chopped the vegetables that didn't need to be chopped..
Songi asked with her eyes.
‘I'm not scared like this?’
It's scary, really scary..
I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud because of my pride..
Hyeolcheondoma asked Gwonma.
“Have you seen Sogyoju??”
“I heard about Gyojujeon.”
“I understand.”
Hyeolcheondoma walked slowly and went out. The sword on his back was shining colder than ever..
After seeing the Hwangma and the Hyeolcheon vault, Cho Chun-bae felt pressured. The Majons’ momentum today was different from usual. Even though we were talking calmly and just standing quietly, something felt different..
‘Phew, come to your senses. I have to come to my senses, even if I think about Lord Sogyo..’
He opened the small window that faced the main street from the kitchen and took a deep breath..
As I looked up at the sky and tried to control my mind, I saw a person..
Someone was standing on the roof of the building across the street with their arms crossed. He was a person who could not be confused as to who he was. Because the white mask was shining in the sunlight.
Was it because he looked lonely standing alone, relying only on a mask? Was it because the cherry blossom petals that flew in with the spring wind and passed by Geukak Soma were beautiful? Cho Chun-bae looked at him as if he was fascinated..
At that time, Extreme Soma's gaze suddenly turned towards Cho Chun-bae..
‘omg!’
Cho Chun-bae, who was so startled, hurriedly hid himself under the window. Did our eyes meet??
When I lifted my head up again and looked at that place, Extreme Soma was not there..
he said with a sigh.
“Phew. Soma is the scariest person after the Poison King..”
When Songi didn't answer, Cho Chun-bae turned around without thinking..
‘Ugh!’
He was more surprised than before..
Before she knew it, the Poison King had come in and was squatting down next to Songi, looking at a snail-like bug that was crawling among the vegetables she was cutting. Songi was frozen with her hand covering her mouth..
The Poison King was also wearing formal attire. Wearing a jangsam with a sophisticated combination of green and white, he instantly became an eye-catching artist..
Even in her surprised situation, Songi thought that the pictures of the zodiac signs on the poison pouch on the Poison King's waist were cute. If you knew what was inside, you would imagine these cute animals' eyes turning red and turning into monsters..
The poison king put a bug on the grass and carried it out..
When he left, Cho Chun-bae let out the breath he had been holding..
“I admit it. I'm scared too.”
Then Song Yi looked at the place where the poison king left and said.
“No, I'm not scared..”
“what?”
“it's awesome.”
Cho Chun-bae shook his head..
At that time, I felt someone coming into the bar. Cho Chun-bae slightly raised his head through the small window outside the kitchen to see who was there..
The person who entered was Ilhwa Geomzon, dressed in a pure white military uniform. On a day like today, she would have put on makeup for the first time in a while, but she came with a bare face. Traces of time are naturally revealed.
Moreover, his face was burnt from hard training, and it looked like a contrast to his pure white martial arts uniform..
Nevertheless, Jo Chun-bae felt that she looked more beautiful now than when she wore extravagant makeup. I wanted to go and say that. He says he is more handsome and elegant now. Of course I didn't dare.
There was someone who said that for me.
“It's the most beautiful sword I've ever seen.?”
When she turned around, Chuma came inside..
He too was properly dressed today. The clothes he was wearing had a drawing of a drunken spirit smiling. Among the many clothes depicting the main deity, today I would have worn one depicting a scary deity running amok..
“The spring breeze is blowing in Chumonglu these days.?”
“You are the future leader of a religious sect, but you are so loud-mouthed..”
Chuma smiled slightly, opened the cap of the liquor bottle, took a deep sniff, and closed it again..
‘Is it such an important day that you have to hold back on drinking??’
Just as Cho Chun-bae was thinking that, golden light poured in from outside the bar. The small giant Mabul has arrived, revealing his presence that cannot be hidden..
The lyrics he wrote depicted humans and demons suffering in hellfire, and it seemed as if the golden glow he gave off turned into flames and burned them up..
Moreover, the Soul Mazon appeared as if it were a person who had been there in the first place. An eerie spirit was flowing from her eyes, which had become more mature while I had not seen them. She was walking down the narrow path between humans and ghosts..
Cho Chun-bae was the first. It's great to see all the Palmazons in one place. It was truly a spectacle when they all dressed up and gathered in one place..
It was an even more unforgettable sight to see them gathered together like this in a street that did not belong to them..
If I were a painter, I would definitely draw this scene..
‘It was truly a Palmazon meeting.!’
Then, a question naturally arises:.
Cho Chun-bae’s gaze was directed to this floor. All the Mazons are gathered together like this, so why are there only three seats?.
‘Why is no one sitting there??’
