Episode 135
‘no.’
There is no need to make yourself childish. It wasn’t even during my school days when I was busy.
If you just pass it over as a good thing, it’s enough.
“It’s not there now, right?”
Sihyeon received the words lightly.
For a moment, I saw a happy smile on Woongjae’s face, but I didn’t pay any attention to it.
“Oh, really? That’s surprising. He’s the manager. If that’s the case, you’ll probably get a lot of introductions from people around you.”
“Well, not really… I’m not really dissatisfied with my current lifestyle, so I’m not really in a hurry. I’m still in my mid-30s, so I’m going to take my time and think about it.”
“I see. These days, there are a lot of things to enjoy on your own, so you can think that way. I understand.”
Woongjae smiled and poured Sihyeon a drink for the first time.
‘It’s really easy to understand. ‘Easy to understand.’
Sihyeon muttered to herself as if she was having fun.
However, it wasn’t like he was doing something like that with any great malicious intent, so he just did it.
It was an action that came from a personality that did not like to lose and was sensitive to self-esteem.
I knew very well that I had that kind of personality since college.
It was annoying, but I brushed it off, thinking that he was a different type of person than me.
Just keeping a distance was enough.
Sihyeon also poured alcohol into Woongjae’s empty glass.
After giving a formal toast, Woongjae opened his mouth again.
“But, Sihyeon. As a friend, I want to tell you this.”
“What?”
“The older you get, the more difficult it is to find a decent woman. You’d be lucky to meet someone in your 20s, but it’s hard to meet someone in your 20s when you’re in your late 30s, right?”
“Of course.”
Sihyeon did not deny it and nodded obediently.
Then, Woongjae seemed to have more energy and began to speak passionately.
“Then I have to date a woman in her 30s… Well, let me tell you in advance that I am never criticizing older women. What I want to talk about is a matter of probability. It is a very simple mathematical probability.”
Sihyeon looked at Woongjae with a gaze telling him to continue.
Woongjae continued.
“Usually, there’s something strange about women who don’t get married until a later age. All the decent women have already been taken away and they don’t even remain single until that age.”
“Hey, dude. This is because we’re weirdos, right?”
Jonghyuk intervened.
“What do you mean by that?”
Woongjae looked at Jonghyuk with a face that said he had no idea what he was talking about.
“Isn’t it strange that I’m still single at this age?”
“No, I meant a woman.”
“What is the difference between a woman and a man?”
“It’s different. It’s definitely different.”
“Stop saying things that don’t work, please.”
“Hey, we’re weird people, so let’s have a drink.”
Seungmin stopped Jonghyuk.
Jonghyuk stared at Seungmin with eyes that he could not understand.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you too?”
“Hehe, so if you feel unfair, let’s find a woman tomorrow.”
Seungmin smiled as if he had been relieved of everything and gulped down the bomb liquor.
‘I want…’ .’
Sihyeon smiled bitterly.
The atmosphere became chaotic.
This is all because of the topic of women.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought up what happened at the cafe.
“Woongjae, I think what you said went too far. Some women are like that because of certain circumstances, and some women are like that because they don’t have the heart to do it yet. Everyone has their own reasons. It’s a shame to make such a conclusion.”
Sihyeon said.
Upon hearing those words, Ungjae looked like he couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“Wow, you seem to see the world as so beautiful.”
As Sihyeon was about to respond to that, the cell phone next to him vibrated.
The letters displayed on the phone screen were not the person’s name.
-Strange archmage.
Woongjae’s expression, when he glanced at it, became a strange expression that was difficult to describe.
What is this, you bastard?
Why did you register a person with such a strange name?
… What kind of otaku are you?
no way… So so far?
Ungjae was lost in thought with a look on his face that seemed like he knew something.
Now that I think about it, I think I’ve seen stories on the news about otakus who enjoy setting up their own situations.
“Please call me for a moment.”
Sihyeon got up and went out of the bar.

“Grand Wizard, why?”

-I told you not to call me such a strange name.
Lin Xue’s voice came from the cell phone.
“No, why. That’s true.”
-Whether it’s true or not, I feel weird hearing things like that from you. I feel like I’m being made fun of.
“Okay. I’ll try to control myself.”
Sihyeon smiled and answered.
Three years was not a short time.
In the meantime, I have experienced enough to understand the personality of this archmage lady.
At first, it was awkward and uncomfortable to be honest, but that was just once in a while.
As I got more and more used to it, I came to treat him like a comfortable friend.
We bicker and joke around.
Sometimes I thought, “I shouldn’t be like this,” but there was no answer and I just felt like things had to happen.
There is no longer an answer at the point where it cannot be said that it is Poahim.
For now, I thought it would be best to say, after I regained all my strength, that I was really sorry, but honestly, I felt like I was going to die, so I couldn’t tell you Poahim.
And there was one thing I found out along the way.
It was something I heard from the soul of the Geomje.
The fact that the magic imprinted on Acuraerts is not something that just anyone can use.
Hyris gave it the final treatment using the Sword Emperor’s blood so that only he could use it.
The reason why he, as Poahim’s awakener, was able to use it at will is because the heart of the Sword Emperor was in Poahim’s body.
Therefore, Hyris, who did not know that fact, had no choice but to mistakenly believe that he was the Sword Emperor.
She clearly witnessed the scene of Hellfire being used in the detention center with her own eyes.
“Why did you call anyway?”
Sihyeon continued the call.
-Aren’t you coming to China for training?
“Well, I don’t know. I’ll contact you in advance when the schedule is set.”
-okay. By the way.
“uh.”
-I’m from Korea.
Sihyeon laughed as if it was absurd.
“…How come you come to Korea so often? No, you don’t work? You get paid a huge amount of money. The Chinese people’s taxes are melting, melting.”
-Work, don’t do anything. I work really hard.
“yes yes….”
-Anyway, that’s not something you should worry about. where are you now? I wasn’t home.
Did you come to my house as expected?
I was lazing around at home after work in the evening, and the memory of being scared when I saw her unexpectedly come to me came back to me.
“Me? I came to a class reunion.”
-Alumni gathering? Where is it?
“Um, in Ingye-dong, Suwon….”
Sihyeon just obediently started explaining the place.
If you don’t explain, this is the person who will keep calling and bothering you.
However, it was clear that if I ignored the phone call, I would hear it again later.
-Okay, okay. I said it was a class reunion. Let me put some weight on your shoulders.
“what?”
-Come on. I’m a woman who has that kind of sense by default. She’s not a dun tang.
“….”
Why are you making such a fuss again?
I guess I had to hope that the participation group broke up before she came.
-See you later then.
She hung up the phone.
◈ ◈ ◈
When I returned to the bar and sat down again, I felt Woongjae looking at me with a strange gaze.
It was the kind of gaze I felt for the first time since coming here today.
No matter how you look at it, that is a pitiful view.
‘What, suddenly?’
Sihyeon’s expression became completely unknown.
It had to be that way.
He just came in after receiving a phone call, but he looks at me like that.
“Drink a lot and go.”
Woongjae tapped his left arm.
“Uh, yes. You too.”
“Sihyeon.”
“why?”
“Have fun with your hobbies.”
“….”
He’s suddenly saying something strange.
As Si-hyeon looked at him in bewilderment, Woong-jae lowered his head and suddenly smiled slightly.
That was the smile of a winner.
Sihyeon was dumbfounded and decided to just ignore Ungjae.
He turned his head to Jonghyuk and Seungmin sitting next to him and said.
“Hey, let’s have a drink.”
◈ ◈ ◈
“Let’s go for round two, round two.”
On the way out of the class reunion, Jonghyuk held up two fingers and said,
“I don’t drink any more.”
Sihyeon waved his hand and said.
Originally, Sihyeon did not like alcohol.
If it wasn’t for a class reunion, I wouldn’t have drunk this much.
“Hey, do you really need to go drinking? Let’s go to karaoke, karaoke.”
“hmm….”
Sihyeon looked a little worried.
Since Lin Xue said she was coming, I planned to wait here for her.
But I also wanted to go to a karaoke bar with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time.
Should I contact you?
I was thinking that, but Jonghyuk spoke as if I didn’t need to hear the answer.
“It’s okay. You’re definitely going, right?”
Jonghyuk’s head turned to Seungmin.
“you?”
“Of course I’m Cole.”
“Okay, what about you?”
Jonghyuk asked Woongjae this time.
“Have fun with yourselves. I called the assistant manager earlier. He will be here in 10 minutes.”
Woongjae waved his hand with a smile on his face.
Unlike the beginning, he seemed to be in a good mood from the middle of the drinking session.
The others didn’t know the reason, but it didn’t hurt because it brightened the mood of the meeting anyway.
“Son, I understand.”
Jonghyuk waved his hand, indicating to go.
Woongjae glanced at the large, domestic luxury sedan parked nearby.
It was a car worth over 60 million won.
It was a bit too much for a 7th grade salary, but since my family was wealthy, I had to get help to buy it.
Even if he was a D-class hunter, his income would not be very good since he was a public servant.
The moment he took out the key and looked at Si-hyeon, he was about to turn on the engine as if to show off.
Rumble!
The sound of a loud engine echoed loudly.
Along with that, a white Ferrari came into the area where the bar building was.
As it happened, the Ferrari ended up next to Woongjae’s parked car.
‘Nimi.’
Woongjae, who loves cars, looked at it and saw that it was a high-end model among Ferraris.
It seemed easy to exceed 500 million.
‘What kind of bastards drive cars like that?’
Cursing under his breath, Woongjae quietly put the key back in.
This was because his car looked too shabby to show off secretly right now.
The classmates next to me and the people around me were also looking in that direction with curious eyes, as if their eyes were drawn to the rare luxury sports car.
Even in Korea, where foreign cars are prevalent, it is not easy to see a Ferrari-class car.
Sihyeon was also staring at the white Ferrari.
However, his face, unlike other classmates, has an expression of uncertainty.
Soon the Ferrari’s door opened upwards and someone came out.
Surprisingly, the person inside was not a man but a woman.
Usually, it is assumed that sports cars are driven by men, so people looked at the woman with eyes of surprise and wonder.
She was a tall and slender woman like a model.
She is wearing a red dress that stands out.
It clung to the body tightly, showing off the curves of the body.
The men who saw this opened their eyes wide and swallowed their saliva without realizing it.
It wasn’t just about having a good body.
It is a small face with white skin and clear and well-harmonized features.
The long, slightly raised eyes that resembled those of a cat were charming and bewitching.
She was a beautiful woman with a unique charm that was different from the one printed on paper by a doctor.
“Wow… you’re pretty.”
Jonghyuk, who was standing next to Sihyeon, muttered.
“Aren’t you a celebrity?”
Seungmin said, looking intently at the woman.
Her beauty was so outstanding that it made you think that way.
Ungjae was also staring at the woman in fascination.
“Wow, if I date a girl like that for just one day, I’ll have no wish.”
I heard someone among my classmates muttering.
The eyes of the men around her were staring at the woman as if they had made a promise.
Only Sihyeon was standing there with a somewhat distraught expression.
The woman’s eyes looked somewhere.
“Hey, are you looking this way?”
“What?”
Jonghyuk and Seungmin were whispering.
As she said, she was looking in their direction.
The woman smiled mischievously and stretched out her finger to point at Sihyeon.
Then, he narrowed one eye and smiled charmingly.
“What are you doing, honey? Get in.”
