69 – Do you want to go eat ramen?(4)

It was dark.

Looking at the clock, it was almost 9pm.

It could be said that it was a bit late.

“Supper is done, sir.”

At that time, a voice calling me from the kitchen resonated clearly.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room with Mina and chatting, I slowly turned my head and moved my gaze toward the kitchen.

Then, Yerin, wearing an apron with a cute cat on it, approached her with frequent steps.

“You waited a long time, right? Sorry.”

Yerin removed her oven mitt from her hand and handed her an apology with a slightly guilty expression.

“I’m sorry that I left everything to you.”

All the dishes have been prepared by Yerin.

I also tried to help, but Yerin said, ‘Guests, stay still. I’ll treat you today.’ He said and sat me down on the sofa.

Of course, waiting still was a little bit pricked by her conscience, so she peeked at Yerin’s back to see if there was anything she could do to help, but Yerin hummed and hummed to her while she happily cooked.

Mina watched them and said, ‘I think Yerin is pretty excited to cook for her brother. It would be better for Yerin if she just waited quietly,’ she said with a wry smile.

Mina, like me, was forced to sit on the sofa with me.

But the wait is over.

That’s because Yerin finished her cooking.

“You have nothing to be sorry for, sir. That’s what I want to treat you to. And the best thing for customers is to wait patiently.”

“Really?”

Basically, Yerin has the qualities of a wise mother and wife.

She is basically steady, good at household chores, and has good abilities.

She is also blind and single-minded towards the people she likes.

It is a good sense of color in many ways.

…… Except for the obsessive nature.

“Then, sir. Have a seat at the table. Mina and you too.”

“Yes.”

Mina nodded her head as hard as she could and answered.

Her eyes are looking forward to Yerin’s cooking.

As much as she lives with Yerin, she seems to know Yerin well about her cooking skills.

“Wow…… What is it all about? Somehow it took a long time.”

With her ass propped up in her dining chair, Mina looked down at her food with her slightly surprised face.

Wanting to know why, I also turned my gaze toward the dining table.

She couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

“Isn’t it too much to eat at this time, Yerin?”

Samgyeopsal, grilled front leg, grilled skewers, sausages, green onion, boiled quail eggs, fresh tofu, steamed egg, kimchi stew, assorted wraps, various fruits, beer, soju, and more.

Did you prepare all of them in this short amount of time?

It is quite hearty.

“It’s not really good to eat like this at this time of day, but sometimes it’s okay. Isn’t that Mina?”

“Yes! I didn’t eat lunch today so I’m really hungry.”

Mina couldn’t take her eyes off her food.

She

“She said she would boil the ramen…… I have the pork belly I bought yesterday and everything. So I prepared like this.”

“This is better than ramen.”

“Isn’t it? If you are missing something, please tell me. I’ll make you some ramen.”

“No, I don’t think I can eat all of it, let alone lack.”

I sat lightly on the chair.

“Enjoy your meal, sir.”

“Yes. Thank you Yerin.”

“You should eat well too, Mina.”

“Yes.”

We gathered at the table and tasted the food while chatting.

“Teacher, have a drink.”

“Huh? Ah… ….”

Yerin came over to me during the meal and poured me some soju.

I was staring at the transparent soju before finally smiling bitterly.

“I’m sorry, but I came by car.”

I wanted to have a few drinks, but I had to drive, so I refused Yerin’s drink.

But Yerin smiled and took her luck as if she didn’t care.

“You can call a substitute, sir.”

“…… Hmm.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to have a few drinks to feel good?”

“… ….”

I was slightly hesitant at Yerin’s words.

Wouldn’t pork belly be soju?

I’ve been craving alcohol ever since…….

‘Should I just drink a few drinks and call Yerin as a substitute?’

My mind was leaning more and more to one side.

Ye-rin prepared the dishes and poured her drinks, but it didn’t seem polite for her to keep refusing.

‘But drinking at a girl’s house is kind of like that.’

She was a little hesitant that she might get drunk, but she’s not the type to get into trouble because she can’t control her drinking, and since Yerin and Mina were more talented than me, I thought it wouldn’t be a big problem even if something unfortunate happened. .

The thing I’m most worried about now is the possibility that my psychokinesis ability will be activated at will when I’m drunk, but today’s amount of psychokinesis ability is almost exhausted.

I didn’t seem to have to worry about the case of my psychokinesis coming out when I was drunk.

‘Okay. Then just a few drinks…….’

I put my thoughts aside and decided to enjoy dinner for now.

It was around the time that the atmosphere gradually picked up as we drank a glass or two like that.

Thinking that it would be okay to say it slowly, I quietly moved my lips towards Mina.

“Minaya.”

“Oh, yes. Brother.”

Mina’s cheeks were slightly red.

He drank some alcohol too.

Looks at me with a pleasant smile.

The bright smile on his red-hot face is beautiful.

“You…… Have you stopped working as a hunter?”

“Yes? Oh, what do you mean?”

“No. That incident happened recently.”

“You mean that thing in the park?”

Mina’s eyebrows curled slightly.

There was an incident where a monster popped out of a park and slaughtered people.

At that time, Mina and I fought for our lives and barely survived.

However, the civilians there could not escape death.

Mina did not run away for the sake of people, but fought back, but the result was disastrous.

“We both almost died. I wondered if he might quit his job as a hunter and concentrate on broadcasting.”

“No brother, broadcasting is just a side job.”

Mina shook her head at my words.

“My main job is always a hunter, hunter.”

“Really?”

“Yes. When you’re a hunter, there’s time at home when you get injured, repair equipment, or take time to get a party, right? At that time, I started broadcasting again because I didn’t want to stay still.”

I sipped a glass of soju while listening to Mina’s words.

I felt the heat along with the sharp drunkenness.

Okay, then let’s take a look.

“Are you planning to climb the tower soon?”

“Ah…… Yes, what.”

With a slightly perplexed look on her face, she answered in a general blunt manner.

“I plan to climb the tower as soon as I find a decent party.”

It’s a good party…….

I pondered over Mina’s words.

The most important thing to be careful of when climbing the tower is the party members.

Skills are skills, but more importantly, whether or not they are trustworthy.

That’s also true, because the inside of the tower is a lawless zone out of reach of public power, and there are many psychopaths who often break people.

It’s not a joke, there are a lot of real crazy people.

Generally, hunters are accustomed to violence and assault through numerous fights.

Unlike ordinary people, there is no hesitation in using violence, and even small conflicts are highly likely to turn into violence.

For that reason, the quarrels among the hunters in the tower are directly related to the danger of life and death, and there are often cases in which they deliberately harm others to monopolize their achievements.

The inside of the tower is truly a jungle.

The rule of thumb and winner takes all.

It is not for nothing that you enter the tower with a fixed party or clan.

Because it is not uncommon for a hunter to be stabbed to death while working with an unverified hunter.

A trustworthy party and clan are good fences.

“It’s important to have someone you can trust.”

Once upon a time, there was a Hunter who chose and killed dozens of Hunters.

Before he died, he said an uncommon nonsense saying, ‘The best of all hunting is the hunting of hunters, and those who hunt hunters cannot have any other pleasure.’

That word once became a big talker.

“Yes, it is. My academy classmates were also dangerous because they met strange party members.”

“I was like that in the past too.”

I smiled bitterly and turned the glass round and round.

“By the way, oppa. Why did you suddenly ask such a thing?”

“Hmm.”

He tilts his glass and gives a clear answer.

“Do you have any plans to climb the tower with us?”

“Yes?”

“I told you to use the gate together when we have time.”

“It was.”

“First of all, I am a bit anxious when there are only two people, Yerin and I. I want to find at least one or two more party members.”

At that time, Yerin picked up a piece of pork belly with a big smile and handed it to me.

I accepted the pork belly that Yerin gave me with an awkward expression.

He swallows the pork belly and continues talking.

“What do you think? If you couldn’t find a party, why don’t we go up the tower together?”

If it was Mina, it could be said that she was a good enough hunter.

Due to the nature of the tower, a trustworthy companion was desperately needed, but with Mina, there was little fear of being outwitted.

The one who risked his life to save people was Jumina.

The possibility of betrayal due to personal greed was very low, and since he had a good friendship with Yerin, there was a high possibility that he would become a good party member.

‘Even though Jihyun joined the clan…… After all, Jihyun is busy and can’t promote with me.’

She also said she hadn’t officially founded a clan yet.

For the time being, it was Lee Ji-hyun who told me to train with Ye-rin and climb the tower.

“I’m thinking of promoting on the 4th floor. Wouldn’t that make enough money?”

The reason I decided to attack the 4th floor is simple.

Because there were elements to be checked there.

“Ah, it might be a little bit because I’m E rank…… It’s not as much as what I showed in the park, but I’ve been able to use my abilities to some extent.”

I used my telekinesis to raise the glass.

It was close to the end because I had used almost all of today’s amount of psychokinesis.

Whew, it’s still used.

“Psychokinesis… ….”

“I can’t tell you everything about my abilities, but I think I can at least do a D-rank.”

Mina stared at the glass floating in the air for a moment.

“How is it? Would you like to try it?”

“… ….”

Mina showed a moment of hesitation.

“There is no need to make a hasty decision. Hmm. Let’s see Please tell me within 3 days. If you can’t do it, I’ll have to find another party member.”

“I’ll do it, oppa.”

“Huh? Wasn’t it too simple?”

“In the first place, when I had time, I was going to climb the tower with Yerin. And oppa and Yerin are trustworthy enough.”

Jumina seems to have had similar thoughts to me.

The skills of the party members are also skills, but a hunter who is not verified is no different from a potential threat.

In fact, there are quite a lot of cases where acquaintances organize parties like this.

‘The Mina in the dream belonged to the Sephirot Clan and was quite strong.’

Mina’s potential has been proven to some extent.

Also, Mina’s ability is quite useful in attacking her tower.

Right now, there is nothing special about high-speed movement, but the second awakening will change its true value.

“Are you done talking about your job as a teacher?”

“Oh, yes.”

Yerin was beside her like a chaste wife and poured her another drink.

“Then have another drink, sir.”

“Thank you.”

I naturally took the glass that Yerin gave her and drank it in one breath.

Yerin kept pouring her alcohol, so she seemed to have drank a little more than usual.

But what, is this enough?

Perhaps.

“Have another drink, sir.”

Yerin smiled and urged her to continue drinking.

“Yerin. I think you’re quite drunk.”

“To this extent? Isn’t it, sir?”

I shook her hand with a tingling feeling.

I couldn’t properly connect the accident because of the alcohol.

No, I was too sleepy before that.

Why are you so sleepy?

“Oh, um… ….”

“Let’s go to sleep. Keep drinking.”

“Huh? Are you Yerin? My brother is in a bit of a state.”

Their words gradually faded.

In addition to the sharp drunkenness, an unknown sleepiness was attacking me.

One drink, two drinks, three drinks.

Reflexively, I accepted the glass that Yerin gave me.

The thought that it might be dangerous soon swirled in a corner of her head, but her hand just tilted the glass at will.

She kept drinking like that, and at some point, she remembered…… Ah… ….

***

“Ugh… ….”

I have a tingling bone pain.

Involuntarily puts her head on one side.

It feels like being stabbed in the head with a needle.

“Ugh…… What. Hangover, is it?”

I think I drank too much last night.

I even remembered having dinner with Yerin and Mina.

But maybe because I drank too much, the film cuts in the middle.

There aren’t many cases where I’ve gone this far.

What happened?

She struggles to lift her eyelids, but her eyes are blurry and out of focus.

It is hazy, as if it is foggy.

I can’t see well.

‘Is it a bed…… ? How did you get back home…….’

I rubbed the corners of my eyes and softly reached out and felt a soft touch on the tips of my fingers.

Huh? What?

I applied strength to my fingers and gripped them a little tighter.

Then the slender thing twisted into the palm of my hand.

I really liked the texture.

What is this soft and resilient feeling?

Since I wasn’t the type to sleep with something on my bed, a curious mind sprouted in my heart.

“…… I’m sorry.”

Just then.

A familiar groan sounded in my ear.

“…… ?”
