Have a Meal Before You Go

It's because I'm family.

The words strangely stuck in my ears.

“I guess so.”

Eugene smiled. Then I finished drinking the rice wine. Sometime later than three o'clock in the morning. The rain outside hasn't stopped yet.

The world was quiet, and the night seemed to last forever. The waves were almost finished, and the hangover was moderate.

Cheolho stared at Eugene.

Many Awakeners are born with their own abilities. They are strong and weak. However, Eugene was different.

The Detect Kid caught up with him.

‘You're an Awakener.’

Surprisingly, he was not Awakened.

Perhaps it was possible because the policy of living with ordinary people was Eugene, the anaesthetist.

If Chulho had been there, he might have quit a long time ago. This world probably wouldn't have come. Since they were Eugene, all the Awakeners under the command would be good people.

“I'm a family-"

Eugene chewed the word how many times I liked it. And I smiled.

“Enjoy your meal. ”

“Come again. ”

.

Duk-Duk-

Luckily, Kelpy is not very handsome in this rainy weather. Thanks to this, Eugene was able to walk slowly with peace of mind.

He has a ring that can remove alcohol from the body. Gearwalk was the first to present his inventions to Eugene.

But I don't want to get rid of the hangover tonight. I like this feeling, which is a little sweet but pleasant, but at the same time calmer.

I walked down this street with my umbrella open. Stores all around the place turn off the lights, and only the sound of rain and the sound of his footsteps is heard in my ears.

Pumpkin

Eugene stopped suddenly as he was moving his steps. The footsteps were not the only sound. A very small sound is heard in my ears.

He stands still and turns around.

On the other side, there is a man standing under a dark streetlight.

“It's been a while.”

Eugene opened his mouth slowly.

The man in the dark turns his head slightly. He was a complete beggar.

“....... ”

He was wearing a hat with a scarf around his clothes. He seemed to hide his identity. One leg and the left arm were badly injured.

Eugene didn't say anything to him. I'm just looking at it.

It was a black mamba.

Black Mamba turns, turns, and steals to the other side.

You look like you're about to collapse. Eugene asked him quietly.

“Are you eating? ”

Suddenly, Blackmamba's body stopped. He glances back. Soon, I rushed to walk. Then I fell.

Eugene walked to him when he fell. And he gave me his umbrella.

“Put it on and go. ”

“....... ”

Blackmamba can't see him straight. Then I looked at the floor and asked.

“That's weird, you guys. ”

“Strange?”

“Don't you hate me? ”

“....... ”

“Don't I hate you?" he asked. I have killed countless of your Awakenings! ”

Eugene smiles bitterly at him.

“I hate it.”

“Then keep hating me. Because I'm more comfortable with it! ”

Black Mamba snaps! She stands up and grabs Eugene's collar.

“Hate it. Go on! ”

Eugene glances at him, smiling bitterly.

“I hated it. ”

The Black Mamba's grip on her collar gradually loosens.

Soon he let go of his hand completely.

Eugene held his umbrella in that hand. Then I tapped him on the shoulder.

Soon, I turned around and walked back to the other side.

Hate it or not hate it. You have to make each other hate. War hurts everyone. The wound is so deep, it doesn't heal easily.

Numerous colleagues have died and died. The war against those who were enemies and colleagues of the past only bore pain.

Who should I hate?

Turning arrows at yourself because you don't know exactly who to hate. That's war after all. So Eugene decided not to hate the black mamba.

Blackmamba kneels and stares at Eugene, who has been walking for a long time.

His shoulders gradually shrug.

Blackmamba has been moaning for a long time, trying to get down on the cold road.

.

Time passed.

Suddenly, the world became a summer of heat. It was so hot, I thought I'd die soon if I didn't wear my short arm.

Even on long arms, long pants and long hairstyles, it was obvious that anyone with hot circles would go anywhere.

“Hey, did you see the new Sam's face? ”

“No?”

“I saw it. ”

“Who is it?”

“Why, you know. The guy with the eye patch. ”

“Ah! I saw it, too! ”

Unfortunately, the new combat instructor at Cipher School was a man of that style.

Today, the Cipher School was noisy.

By the way, it was the new Combat Instructor. The new combat instructor was a tall, sun-kissed man.

The black circles that cover all the eyes are covering about half of my face, but the sharp jawline and clever nostrils were already a topic among girls.

Especially the long hair to the shoulders and thin fingers seemed like a little girl in a way. You don't seem to be able to fight at all, but rumor has it that you're a great warrior.

He soon became popular.

His class was a meticulous combat technique needed to be in practice, and it was truly appreciated as the combat skills of the students who took it began to rise.

But no one knew who he was. The teachers don't know, the students don't know.

He just existed quietly. It appeared just in time for class to start, and did not appear stuck in his room after class on time.

The new combat instructor started to become famous, leaving several rumors among the students.

[Screaming] [Screaming]

I heard loud music from the beginning of the evening. Today in Seodaemun Square, the festival was in full swing. Thanks to this, the restaurant was also a festive atmosphere today.

[Can I go out and play? (Excited, nervous)

“Yes, come and play. ”

Chulho smiled and said. Kai leaps forward as if he were excited. Maybe it's because I've never seen a festival before.

Tangerine is already ready next to him. Today's special guardian was Pata.

Pata sighs with tangerine's hand in one hand and Kai's hand in the other.

“Summer festival. I always feel that humans are overestimating minor climate changes. ”

“I guess it's because I haven't lived long. ”

At Chulho's words, Pata sighs again.

“Anyway, I'll be back. ”

Tangerine has been skipping meals since she lost control of her excitement. The frog pickpick I had saved for today exerted my power.

Today's tangerines were frogs. You fit it up and down in green, and you put frogs on your head. On the other hand is a piece of sweet potatoes bought by Cheolho and a green bag on the back.

“We have to go! ”

Like a summer festival, there was a huge world of ice in the square. The Ice Witch made a giant ice machine for today.

Tangerine grabbed hold of Elongated Pata's hand as if she was busy.

“Oh, Joe, watch the poem! ”

“Oh, dear. ”

Pata flickers them up, takes them out of the diner. Chulho glanced at them.

Today's festival is like a holiday.

It's because people don't come here very well. What to do, this time I remembered a new cultivated fruit in the maze. When I think of a menu about it.

Drum-

We have a visitor who doesn't think he's coming.

“Oh?”

It was Shadow Cat. She came with a man today.

A man with long hair stretched to his shoulders and a circle covering about half his face.

“Hello, boss. ”

“Welcome.”

She and the man sat in separate chairs. Somehow, Choi Hyuk smiled as if he looked familiar.

“It's a festival. Aren't you busy? ”

Shadow Cat nods.

“But it's not what it used to be. It's something to do these days. ”

Chulho gave two men and women a glass of cold ice water. Luckily, there was air conditioning in the dining room.

“This is the new A/C. I've installed one in case the guests get hot. ”

The air conditioning, powered by horsepower, was pretty cool and the temperature in the dining room was just right.

“You want a salad? ”

“Yes. I'll have a salad, and you can have anything." ”

The man remained silent. He seemed determined not to talk at all.

Cheolho glanced at him.

“Yes.”

* * *

I pulled out a bunch of flowers from the refrigerator. Although there were various ways to eat flower thorns, Chulho simply preferred a simple steak.

I think steak is the only dish I can fully enjoy the flavor and aroma of ingredients.

Grill steak up and down in a skillet well cooked in hot fire. Then, I took some time off and finished with a special sauce.

The concentration of baking is rare. A medium rare unlimited to rare.

A salad was being made on one side. The salad mixed some world water leaves and used soft leaf vegetables. Crispy, soft salad and cornstarch steak.

It's a menu for today's guests.

Chulho took two foods and put them down one by one for Shadow Cat and Man.

The man looked down at the flower thorn steak. And with a fork and knife, I sliced the meat into my mouth. While he was still eating, he looked at Cheolho for a moment.

Cheolho also looked at him.

“How does it taste? ”

Twitch!

At that moment, the man was slightly surprised. It sounded like a voice I had heard somewhere. I can recall the jolly past in my head.

- The times have saved you, Dark Elf.

It was in the past, when the Festival Day Association was arrested and trapped in an interrogation room.

Why does that voice in the brain come to mind?

He blinks for a while, then shakes his head. It's a delusion.

The meal lasted for a long time. Shadow Cat and Blackmamba say nothing.

The meal is finally over.

“You said you were going to shoot? ”

She said beautifully. Then he smiled at Chulho.

“Goodbye. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

Chulho nods. Blackmamba watches her leave and picks out a bundle of bills from her chest. And I handed it all over to Cheolho.

“....... ”

Cheolho looks at the bills and tilts his head. However, Blackmamba held Steel's hand and tightened a bundle of notes. Then I bowed my head.

Cheolho just smiled.

“Thank you.”

Blackmamba walks out of the diner. Somehow, the rear view was quite refined.

< Are you eating? (3) > End
