Hermit Wizard

17. Taking a risk to be safer (4)

You seem to be busy, but you can't call me by giving me the same day's appointment. It's not polite to give you a day's end, is it?

I don't have any artifacts in my hands right now, but it takes me a while to make them. The pollution in the vicinity of the West Sea is inevitably going on for a few more days, and crucially, I don't want to go out again today.

I sat on the couch and summoned a small creature through the channel of my chest. This one can be easily called without bothering the rooftop.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In front of my eyes, a lump of bumpy flesh the size of a baseball floats in the air. A dark red hairless skin has one ear stuck to the flesh without a long torn mouth and ear ball. I grabbed him in one hand and brought the ear to the edge of my mouth.

“Yes, sir. Hi. How long are we having dinner tomorrow? How about Chinese food? I'll see you tomorrow at 1: 00 in the comic book. I'd like to make a reservation as usual · · · 2 weeks earlier than I promised, but I'll bring a present. Tomorrow is the lemon flavour. ”

When I finished speaking, I held the guy in my hand tight enough to make sure the recording was good. From his grossly crumpled mouth, the words I just said flow out. It's a voice that's so modulated that you can't even recognize your original voice.

After confirming that the last word was well recorded, I opened the first floor window and blew him out.

The destination is already entered in my head. The recipient confirmed that he was in Seoul, so he blew up that “recorder.”

When I found out that I was in Seoul because I couldn't control the summoner if I was too far away, I had to send him right away. I don't know where else to go when you get this message tomorrow, because you have so many local business trips.

· · · By the way, what are you wearing tomorrow?

* * *

The next day I was standing at the entrance of a hotel restaurant in the mountains overlooking the Han River and Anyang Cheon. Fortunately, I was in business. No matter how monstrous the world is, business is business, and people eat and live.

This restaurant is one of the appointments that our customers have chosen so far. Your taste is so high.

A ripe employee greets me at the entrance to the restaurant. Unlike me, he didn't recognize me at all. I had to. Now I have a completely different face than I had before.

I speak with the face of a mid-40s man who is a little rounded and slashed.

“Can you see if there's a reservation in Mr. Isourin's name? There are two of them. ”

The employee hears a name so familiar with unexpected timing, flinches for a moment, and turns a blind eye to the booking book. Probably thought he was a pseudonymous stranger.

“Oh, I'm sorry. Dear Guest, Your name doesn't confirm your reservation today · · ·”

“Oh, really? Hmm, it's a waste. What was the name of the reservation? ”

“Let's see if your name is reserved for you. Please tell me your full name.

I put out my hand.

“No, I wouldn't have placed a reservation in my name. ”

because our client doesn't know my name.

“What other name would you have booked instead of my name? · · If you don't know, can you take another look? ”

Then I hear a cold voice behind my back.

“You can just come in with me. ”

I turned my head. Ah! It's you.

I think he was listening to our conversation behind my back. A tall woman with long, black, raw hair reaching down to her shoulders looks at me with her arms cold.

I heard it's a little over 170 feet tall, so it looks just like me. I can see my eyes staring at me from the inside of the pale sunglasses.

I'm wearing sunglasses, but I didn't hide my original beauty. An employee who had recognized her rushed out.

“Ah! Welcome! I haven't seen you in a long time, but it looks like you booked a reservation today. By what name did you make the reservation? It's not on the record right now, so I was checking with your companion who came here first. ”

She took off her sunglasses, staring at me as if she didn't deserve to be the "companion who came first.” With a subtle East-West mix of faces, the hotel lobby begins to boom as people get to know her.

There seems to have been a lot of gaze on this side of Ginghaminga. He makes his own little sound, but he says, "Oh, it's Yüthrin!” Wow, "I saw a celebrity today!” I can hear the sound of the back all the way here.

She looks at my face and frowns as she tilts her head.

“· · · Right? ”

“Yes, sir. ”

I answered brightly with a smile. Then she asks as if she were checking again.

“What flavor is it today? ”

“Lemon-flavoured! ”

“Right, damn it. ”

Why didn't she use her face to confuse people? She grumbled like herself in a small voice and walked into the restaurant entrance with an elegant step.

The appointee, I left her at the entrance without even looking at her, turned her head and told the employee that she was walking in.

“Fair Trade Reform Solidarity. ”

“Yes?”

“Reservation. Not my name, but the name of a civil society that I sponsored. Do you understand?”

“Oh, yes, of course. Let's see, yeah! You two are booked under the name of the Fair Trade Reform Regiment. We have prepared to meet you and go to the hall. · · Today we will guide you to a special room with a view. ”

Yüthrin nodded and followed the staff's instructions. I followed him and smiled bitterly.

Because of the specificity of the celebrity profession, it is understandable to reserve a pseudonym instead of his name. But you don't even have to bring a civil society name? In fact, if you think about it in a common sense, you will encounter any name at random.

Fair Trade Reform Solidarity Fund. That's me protesting. You're protesting to me that our deal is so unfair. You came late on purpose today? Mr. Isourin.

* * *

As the staff said, the room we were guided to was a really good view. It's too much space for only two people to eat.

“I'll keep the bag by your side. ”

Iseryn carefully picked up a bag of my scarlet color, placed it on an empty chair next to her, and covered it with a napkin large enough to cover the entire bag. It might be an incredibly expensive bag.

“I will also keep your bags. ”

I shook my head and refused.

“No, it's okay. First of all, I'm picking up some menus, so can you come back in a minute? ”

“Yeah, well, can I get you some water first? ”

I speak with my eyes to Iseryn.

“I'll just give you still water and you'll be a ferry, right? You like it.”

Speaking and smiling, Isuryn frowned as if she would not see anything.

“If it's not just a ferry, give me anything. ”

“Huh? You must have changed your taste. ”

“I'm not attracted to it today. I shot too hard on the ferry. ”

Aigoo, you're gonna stare at me like that, and I'm gonna catch fire.

Yüthrin said to the server while keeping an eye on me.

“You can bring something, so I want you to go out and wait outside until we call. Thank you.”

As soon as the server went out and closed the door, Yüthrin shot and snapped.

“Let's start with this month's stuff. ”

“Yes, yes, I understand. ”

I opened my backpack that I was holding without handing it over to the server, and pulled out a bag of yellow paper in it. When she passes the paper bag to Etherin as it is, she takes out the green glass bottle and hears it.

The sticker on the glass bottle says it tastes like lemon on the ferry, but in fact, it only recycles the bottle after drinking all the contents. What's inside now is a magic solution called a lower elixir.

“Could you please put it somewhere else? Why do you bring all these bottles of drinking water with you every time? Unhappy.”

“This is the right dose. And the lid is locked. I put it in the Zodiac Soldier at first, and I didn't want it, so I turned it into a ferry bottle on purpose. ”

“I think it's just a glass bottle from the kitchen store. Can't you hold it? Or Rock & Rock?”

“I don't know where to sell a glass bottle like that. And no plastic containers. Elixer is an ingredient in plastics and theater. If the plastic was okay, you would have brought it in a lighter bottle of pets in the first place. ”

This is true. Elixir is easily contaminated by contact with petroleum compounds.

“Don't worry, I washed it clean. And when I drank carbonated water inside, I didn't even touch my mouth. ”

This is a lie. I live alone anyway, but I don't like drinking according to the cup.

After listening to what I said, Iseryn looked even darker, then sighed and opened the ferry bottle and began to follow the transparent contents in the empty glass in front of her.

I divide it in two, follow the cup, and drink it in a sitting place without rest. And I was looking at him quietly.

As you can see, the closer you look, the more beautiful she is. I wonder if I really have a fist-worthy face because my head is smaller than on TV. Its small face has a deep impression and distinct nostrils arranged in harmony. When you look at the eyes and nose, you see an exotic line that doesn't look like an oriental one. I thought it might be true that the rumors were mixed.

Iseryn continues to pass over her neck as if she were not breathing or drinking a little over 300 mics of Elixir. I looked at the white, tiny nipples as if they were constantly moving.

“You drink really well. ”

Yüthrin, who threw one last drop of wine in his mouth, said,

“You have to eat to live. ”

I have thorns in my voice.
