“I am! The coolest man in the world!”
“Man! Man!”
Gabriel sang, his throat clearing. As he held the microphone forward, the drunken gang members sang along.
“Kiyaaaaaaaaaa!”
The excited punk climbed up onto the table and took off his pants. He shook his hips, exposing his ugly lower body.
Dwarf Nose is a gang member who lost one eye after being punished by me. That’s why he still has a hard time with me and is afraid of me.
I looked around while sitting at the bar. The hairy and dog-eyed guys I had recruited in the early days were there too.
“I quit the drugs. I really did. I’m really going to quit now.”
The bearded man with a thick beard and a lot of beer foam said. He didn’t start out with hair like that. He said it was a side effect of the body strengthening drug that caused hirsutism.
“Is that possible? I’m not going to live a thousand years, so what’s the big deal? The boss said that I just have to not do it when I’m working.”
Dog-eye said. He had a failed artificial eye surgery, so his pupils were not focused properly. It was a nervous system problem, so even if he got a second transplant, he would have to live like that for the rest of his life.
Now, I also know the personal circumstances of the gang members. Whether I like it or not, I listen to it.
Gabriel’s gang was growing little by little. They were getting established safely. It was thanks to the support of Martina Diva and Grace rather than Gabriel’s abilities.
“Diva keeps her promise to Luca. One day, you too will have to answer to that promise.”
Grace, wearing a one-eyed mask, sat down next to me and said, “She had been drinking too, so her face looked more gentle than usual. She even had a faint, hazy smile hanging over her face.
‘The deal between me and the Diva.’
Martina Diva will look after Gabriel while I am away. With that level of protection, Gabriel will not suddenly break down one day.
‘Even if something happens, I’ll be able to survive.’
Instead, I offered Martina my friendship. When I am more successful than I am now, Martina will ask me for a personal favor. I will have no choice but to oblige, since I am in debt.
“Luke, is there any new information about Lowzen?”
Grace asked a question.
I’m really sorry to say this, but I completely forgot about ‘Lowzen’. I had too many more important things to do.
‘Irregular Lowzen.’
The reason Grace quit being a cadet was because of Lowzen. Lowzen, who had become a guard, was gradually losing his personality and was even falling apart.
Grace, who saw that, escaped from cadet life with the help of Martina Diva, thanks to Martina Diva’s connections to high-ranking officials.
I looked at Grace, sorting out my memories.
“It’s okay. I’m not complaining, so don’t worry about it. Just find out when you have the chance.”
Grace was quick-witted, as expected from a former cadet. She seemed to realize that I had forgotten.
“I’ll contact you as soon as I find out.”
“It may not be your real birthday… … but I’ll pour you a drink anyway. It’s also a gift from the diva.”
Grace took a glass out of the cupboard and handed it to me. She poured the liquor she had prepared separately into my glass. Just smelling it, I could tell it was quite a strong drink.
“Who first tried to drink alcohol? If you think about it, it’s poison. It’s not tasty, but it’s a poison that numbs the mind and makes the body dull.”
I said, raising my glass.
“Maybe someone who was miserable and wanted to die drank it. He wanted to drink poison and die.”
Grace also filled her glass. Our glasses clinked together, making the drinks clank.
We drank our glasses in one gulp. Our throats felt like they were burning. We wondered if it was right for people to drink.
“hmm.”
I frowned slightly, but Grace’s expression was calm. Feeling a little queasy, I picked up the bottle and quickly filled our glasses.
“But the first person to drink wouldn’t have died. Instead, they would have been able to forget the pain of death, even if only a little. Even though they drank alcohol every day and depleted their bodies… … they somehow gained the strength to live until tomorrow.”
It is irrational behavior.
… … But it seemed like something I needed to do right now.
I raised my glass and faced Grace’s glass. We drank one after another. The alcohol poison was slowly seeping into my nervous system. My senses, which had been organized through training, were gradually becoming untidy.
“You’re a coward, Grace. You’re running away because Rozen got eaten by the Legion? Because you’re scared of a machine?”
I said harshly.
“I was young back then. But… … I’m satisfied with my life now. If I could go back, I’d choose to be by Diva’s side.”
“That’s the self-justification of a loser. You missed out on all the honor and status you could have had with your own abilities. You just ran away in fear.”
I poured out the words I had been holding inside.
Grace and I aren’t on bad terms. We’re actually on good terms. That’s why I don’t usually speak so aggressively.
Yeah, alcohol is the problem.
But Grace just smiled, as if she was used to talking to drunk people. She must have had as much to drink as I did, but she seemed relaxed.
“It’s also important to realize your own weaknesses. I wouldn’t have been able to defeat Legion. Like Lowzen.”
“You too, in the end… … were nothing more than a loser who was all over the lower classes. You closed off your own possibilities by arbitrarily judging that something couldn’t be done without even trying. You’re the type of person I despise the most.”
Despite my gossip, Grace picked up her bottle without showing any sign of displeasure. She quietly filled my glass.
Seeing Grace’s calm smile brought me back to my senses. I felt embarrassed about what I had just said.
Damn, honestly… … Grace was more mature now. I was embarrassed by my loss of reason, so I drank water instead of alcohol.
“Luke, I am inferior to you in talent and mentality. However, I have one advantage over you: age. I think I have lived about ten years longer.”
“That idiot Gabriel is older than me! Are you proud of being old?”
Gabriel, who was singing, flinched at my shout. He soon chuckled and put the microphone to his mouth and shouted.
“Yes, I’m your older brother! Call me older brother! Luca! I’ll even let you call me Gabi-hyung! You’re the first non-girl to allow me to use a nickname!”
“Shut up, you idiot!”
I threw the plate I had in my hand at Gabriel. Gabriel tilted his head to the side to avoid the plate. The only noise was the sound of it breaking.
“You have a bad temper.”
Gabriel shrugged and continued singing.
I looked to the side again. Grace lifted her glass to her lips and tilted it. She was still drinking in an old-fashioned manner. She was so uncluttered that I even suspected she was throwing the drink away somewhere.
“Phew.”
Grace exhaled a breath that was filled with the scent of liquor. The fragrant smell pleasantly passed by my nose. Without realizing it, I quietly looked at Grace’s side face.
Grace slowly turned her head and smiled at me. It was the most expressive smile I’d ever seen on her face.
… … Suddenly, I felt awkward drinking with her alone.
“Well, it was nice talking to you, Grace.”
I tried to stand up.
chuck!
Grace grabbed my wrist.
“For the first time in a while, I feel like sleeping with a guy. What about you? If I’m not mistaken, you too, Luca… … .”
“Poem, it’s noisy.”
Grace let go of my wrist. She rested her elbows on the bar and rested her chin on it.
“Your blushing face just now was cute. I see that kind of reaction. Anyway, this is called experience, Luca. I’ve lived a little longer than you, so I have more experience in many areas. Sexual experience is one of them. No matter how talented or mentally gifted someone is… … they tend to be slow or inappropriate when they first encounter an unfamiliar situation.”
No proper rebuttal came to mind. As she said, I was momentarily flustered. I couldn’t come up with a seasoned answer or reaction. I acted like an innocent boy who didn’t know anything about the world.
“… … I don’t remember the advice.”
“Good night. Well, I’ll take my leave now.”
Grace stood up, bowing her head slightly. She left the gang office.
There are several reasons why I panicked just now. The pressure of meeting the emperor and lack of sleep made my nervous system unstable, and my mind became dull due to drinking poison. This is the first reason.
And as Grace said, this was the first time this had happened. There was no specific way to deal with a woman’s suggestion to sleep with me in my training and education. I had to find the answer in my own experience.
The last reason is… …because I have a romantic interest in Grace. If I were to start a family, a woman like her wouldn’t be bad. Our personalities would match well.
“Hmm.”
I felt the gaze of others. Giselle was sitting about five chairs away from me at the bar.
Giselle was looking at me with a cold face. Her eyes were so cold that it reminded me of my first meeting with her.
Giselle, who had made eye contact with me, turned her head and started talking to someone else. She was talking to an unexpected person for a long time.
‘It’s long.’
Gilda also came late after hearing that it was my birthday. She became the gang’s personal mechanic. She benefits from having more regulars, and the gang will feel secure because they have someone they can trust and rely on.
Gilda and Giselle were having a long conversation. It seemed like they had barely had any alcohol.
Druk.
The two women stood up after their long conversation and shook hands like businessmen.
“Then I will come and see you formally next time, Gilda. You are the greatest harvest of today.”
Giselle said politely. The women’s story was over.
Gilda came over to me after greeting Giselle. She smiled brightly and stared at me. She was a woman as bright as sunlight.
“Happy birthday, Luca! What should I say, you’ve suddenly become more manly. You used to be a boy, but now you feel like a man, man, boy.”
I’m not sure what the difference is. Either way, I guess it was meant in a good way.
“Because quite some time has passed.”
Gilda placed both palms on my cheeks. Her limbs were warmer because they were alive and not mechanical.
“It may be a little sudden, but I will never forget the favor you gave me. If I have a child, I will name him Luca. Whether he is a boy or a girl.”
Suddenly, a question came to my mind at the word child. Gabriel and Gilda had been friends for quite some time.
“By any chance… you’re not dating Gabriel?”
“Hey, Gabi is a bit like that. I look at the face more than the personality. It’s a secret from Gabi.”
He laughed, covering his mouth with one hand, and then hit me on the back.
“Hmm, I see.”
“Oh, by the way, are you busy these days? You haven’t been visiting me at all.”
The old man says Kinuan.
“I know you’ll be busy.”
I dismissed it. Gilda didn’t ask any further questions.
After finishing my conversation, Gilda approached Gabriel and the gang members. She pushed Gabriel away, snatched the microphone, and began to sing.
Gabriel, who had the microphone taken away, scratched his head in confusion. He sat down and quickly started singing along with Gilda’s song, clapping his hands along with the other gang members.
Gilda’s song selection was quite gentle. At first glance, the lyrics seemed to be related to love and romance.
widely!
Giselle put her glass down in front of me as if pouring it down. She sat down next to me.
That was a good thing. I had something to say to Giselle too.
“you…….”
“you…….”
We spoke at the same time. There was silence for a moment as I waited for her to speak, and she waited for me to speak.
“Okay… … .”
“Okay… … .”
Okay, you speak first.
That’s probably what we were trying to say.
Whoosh.
Giselle held out her hand, then held out scissors, a fist, and a knife. I nodded silently and held out my arm.
Giselle is not a trained soldier, so I often forget what I can do.
I was able to create the results I wanted by observing Giselle’s reactions and hands. It wasn’t difficult for me.
Whoosh.
I was rock, Giselle was scissors.
“Damn, I’m a grown man.”
Giselle also made a belated, “Oh, my!” expression.
“Jin, you speak first, young lady.”
I said, holding out my palm diagonally as if offering food.
Giselle took a deep breath and moved her beautiful lips. Today, her lip makeup was thicker than usual.
“That woman named Grace… is your lover?”
… … It seems like you’re curious about everything.
