Chapter 103 – Discrimination Won’t Go Away as Long as There’s a Difference
I lay down on the bed wearing shorts and a short-sleeved T-shirt, as comfortable as my own room. There, I thoughtlessly watched YouTube with my phone in my left hand. The demon king also lay down with his head on my right arm and watched the video.
At this time, she called me in a languid voice.
“You.”
“What.”
I responded in a similar tone.
“What.”
“Do you know what time it is?”
“You find out. You have a phone too.”
“Actually,”
The demon king turned his head on his arm and looked at me. She looked at me with playful blue eyes.
“I did it because I wanted to hear your voice.”
“Is it?”
Her bright smile raised the corners of my mouth too. Then I pulled down the scroll bar to check the time.
“Approximately, 11:30. That much.”
“Hmm.”
After moaning low, the demon king put down her cellphone and dug into my arms.
“Is it still far for chicken to come?”
“I will come in a little while.”
When she ordered earlier, she thought of the text message coming. She said she would be back in 40 minutes, but now it was past 40 minutes.
“Isn’t it too late though?”
She asked, placing her leg on top of mine. As the demon lord approached, she smelled strongly of the bubblegum scent from the bath bomb earlier.
I softly kissed her charming silver hair and ran my right hand through her hair.
“It may take. Let’s wait a little longer.”
“It takes too long for that. If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s fried chicken.”
“… Isn’t the original fried chicken?”
“Haha! Was it!”
The demon king, who said cute nonsense, laughed slyly. At that moment, a knock was heard at the front door.
Knock Knock
“!”
“!”
Then, the sweet atmosphere that filled the room disappeared. The demon king looked at me with eyes full of contempt, not love.
“You go.”
“No.”
I said firmly and pointed to the black envelope in the corner of the room. The plastic bag was filled with beer and other alcoholic beverages.
“I bought you a drink. You go.”
“You are a man. Come on.”
“That is gender discrimination. Be careful.”
“As long as there is a difference, discrimination will not disappear. Go ahead and go.”
“Because I don’t like it.”
Smart!
Even as we were arguing, there was a knocking sound. This time, unlike the first time, it sounded full of annoyance.
I had to wake up now.
“Just wake up.”
“I don’t like it. You go.”
“I don’t know! The one who wakes up first goes!”
“Whoops, that’s easy.”
“Uh?”
Suddenly, the Demon King removed the leg he had placed on my body. Then he wriggled and crawled down. When she looked up to see what she was doing, she found her holding her sky high with her fists clenched.
“What are you?”
“Suck!”
“Yah!”
The fist descended rapidly with a spirit. The place where the bioweapons that can break even rocks was headed to my groin.
For survival instinct, I unconsciously raised my body and covered my precious ears. However, the demon king stopped his fist right above him and did not strike.
When I looked down at the demon lord feeling barely alive, she smiled her victory.
“What? Are you awake?”
“Uh?”
“As you said, the person who woke up decided to go.”
“No, this is different.”
“What is different? Go ahead and go.”
“Oh really.”
“Real or fake, go quickly.”
Thump thump!
“You are waiting.”
Even if I tried to complain more, I couldn’t help but go because of the ferocious knock. Eventually I got out of bed with a sullen face and walked to the front door.
When I opened the door, I saw a deliveryman wearing a motorcycle helmet standing in the scent of chicken.
“Hello.”
“…”
Even when I said hello, he didn’t say anything and only handed me an envelope with chicken in it. I looked at the back of the delivery man as he walked away, thanked me, and closed the door.
Now, when I came back with the chicken, the demon king got up from the bed and put a drink on the floor. He took out cans of beer from a black plastic bag and pointed straight ahead.
“Ruler! God put it here!”
“No, if you’re going to move like that, why don’t you bring it?”
As he spoke, he set the bag of chicken down on the floor, and this time he deftly tried to get over it.
“Ah, why are you doing that! Didn’t you come out of the movie to not shed tears over the past!”
“The person who said that in the movie is dead. Get shot by your successor.”
“You didn’t die from being shot, you died from being buried alive.”
“That or that.”
As I sat on her white marble floor like her, the demon king handed her a can of beer.
“Take this! Ruler!”
“Uh, yes.”
I got a beer and tried to open it, but I realized that my fingernails were too short to work. He handed me another beer and asked for it.
“Sohee, pick this up.”
“What? Can’t you get this too?”
“I don’t care because I cut my nails yesterday.”
“It hurt a little more than that, but…”
“Uh?”
“Nothing!”
The demon king tried to gloss over what he was saying, quickly received it, opened the can, and returned it.
“Ruler! Ok! Now get ready!”
“Okay. Don’t rush me.”
I put down the beer I received and opened the package of chicken. While I was setting, the demon king opened his beer and waited for the chicken to appear.
Fire!
When I opened the lid of the box, the savory smell of fried food spread out. The demon king smiled at the incense, and I also salivated in my mouth.
“You!”
Now that the chicken is ready to eat, the demon king held out a beer can with his eyes sparkling.
“Cheers!”
“There are only two of us, what a toast.”
“Noisy! Let’s go ahead and do it!”
He forced her into it and held out her beer. Then the demon king bumped into mine and shouted.
“Then! For Multi Orga ●! Cheers!!!”
“What, hey?!”
“Gulp”
No matter what I tried, she gulped down her beer as if she wasn’t listening to me.
I stared at him in awe, but I laughed at the thought that he was like a demon lord. I laughed at the thought and drank a beer.
“Gulp, gulp!”
Obviously, I drank it later, but the demon king, who opened the can later than me, heard the chicken leg. He took a big bite of it and moaned happily.
“Umm~♥”
I looked at the figure with a smile, and tore off the vinyl of the box containing the chicken radish. And he handed over a bowl of broth.
“Now, are you going to eat this?”
“Ha ha, thank you!”
The demon king accepted it and shouted happily.
“After all, you are the only one! Whoops!”
She quickly drank the chicken radish soup and laughed out loud.
“Big! Ssaang, kom! Yes! Ssaang, kom! Sun!”
“What is he saying now.”
That’s how we returned to the soft atmosphere and enjoyed chicken and beer in that atmosphere.
“Ah, hey.”
As we talked and ate most of the chicken, the demon king called me.
“Why?”
“Jim looked at it earlier.”
Then, he took a square cylinder the size of a pencil case from his computer desk.
“Wouldn’t you like to try this?”
What the demon king brought was Jenga. That’s for couples (+adults)
“This?”
“Do you like it?”
“No, I don’t hate it.”
“I will do it even if I don’t like it. Give it to me.”
“Then why did you ask?!”
While shocked, he handed the Jenga to the demon king. She opened the paper cover from her box of Jenga she received. Then, he carefully poured it into the empty space next to the chicken box.
Whoa!
“Oh, hey. Help me!”
“…”
I knew that, so I silently helped build the wooden blocks. Looking closely, even though it was for adults, it was no different from ordinary Jenga. The only difference was that there was a sticker on the top with a command written on it.
The two of us sipped beers and stacked Jenga. When the wooden tower was completed, the demon king read aloud the directions on how to use it written on the box.
“The block is removed in turn, and the person who removed it carries out the command or question. Have a drink for the person who can’t pull it out or knock down the tower, um?”
She raised her voice as if she had suddenly discovered something she couldn’t believe.
“A drink?! At least one drink?!”
“Do you think everyone in the world is a drunkard like you?”
“But one drink is too much! It can’t be! For Jim and you, this is one drink!”
Thud!
It was a 700 can of beer, not even a 500, that the demon king hit enough to worry about the noise between floors.
“… You eat like that and you die.”
Haha! What do you have to this extent! With this drink.”
“Did I see you drinking beer and getting drunk?”
“What? Jim can’t do that.”
“Valley. Pension. BBQ.”
“Uh, um. Mmmm!”
She cleared her throat and refused to make eye contact with me. Then, to change the subject, she pointed at Jenga.
“Let’s get started! If you win, I’ll grant you a wish!”
“Uh?”
“For reference, the limit on the amount is up to 1 million won!”
“Really?”
“It’s your birthday if you have any. I’m going to do it with that.”
“Still, 1 million won is a bit burdensome.”
“In that case, I’ll give you a ticket that allows you to use your luggage as you please.”
“If you don’t pay, you lose! Scissors, rocks!”
The thought of being able to continue doing what was in the bathroom immediately spurred me on. The demon king looked at me strangely as I was suddenly full of enthusiasm, but soon smiled and joined.
“Paper!”
“Paper!”
I was a pair of scissors, and the demon king was a fist.
Shit! No, Jenga is not a game where you win or lose with things like this!
Haha! Jim is the first to go!”
Excited, she raised one hand and carefully removed her block. Just like the beginning of the game, the tower didn’t shake even if one of them was missing.
“Let me see.”
I read the text written on the block the demon king picked.
