Chapter 283 – A Book About the Kama Sutra.

I couldn’t just carry the blanket that smelled like bedtime with my hands. I wasn’t the only one using the coin laundromat, and there was a high chance I’d run into other people on the way.

So what I came up with was putting it in plastic and taking it with me. It smelled good and was easy to carry.

I put blankets and other clothes in the leftover vinyl used when making kimchi and went to the coin laundry. There was no one inside, so I didn’t even notice when I took out the blanket.

With a light heart, I separated the blankets and clothes and put them in separate washing machines. I came often and started doing laundry with the amount I had charged in advance. Detergent and fabric softener went in automatically, so I didn’t have to worry about it.

So now, what to do?

It would take a little over an hour from the start of the laundry to the end of drying. It was a bit unreasonable to look at a smartphone comfortably when it was not at home or in a room, but it was a bit uneasy to go somewhere else.

For now, I sat on a chair in the middle of the laundry room. Then, he took out his smartphone from the pocket of his long padded jacket.

I checked the time with my smartphone. A little past 3 o’clock. I heard that the demon king is in the middle of a game, and Se-hee has an appointment with a friend at 3:00.

Wait, isn’t it Friday?

Because it was vacation, the concept of the day of the week disappeared, so I forgot that today is Friday. Mina thought she might be playing, so she called and checked.

As expected, she answered her call right away.

-Yes, Jiheon.

“It’s Mina. Busy?”

-No. What are you doing?

“No, just. I was bored so I called. Can I call you?”

-It is an honour.

“What an honor. But what were you doing? Were you sleeping?”

– I was reading.

“Okay? What book?”

– This is a book about the Kama Sutra.

It was a name I’d heard somewhere but didn’t seem to have. I wanted to know more, so I asked Mina.

“What is that? What book are you doing?”

-This is a book about how to make your relationship stronger.

We’re still close, but to buy a book to get better. You are so cute.

Seeing her like a middle school kid who was in love for the first time made her even more lovable. I asked with a smile on my lips.

“Good. Then, can I take a look next time I go to your house?”

-You don’t have to look. I’ll let you know

“Wouldn’t it be better if I knew, though?”

– That seems like a good way too. Oh, Jiheon.

Suddenly, Mina let out an exclamation as if she had remembered something. Then, in a slightly hesitant voice, she continued the call.

-Jiheon, hey, I’m sorry.

“What is there to be sorry for, between us. But why?”

– I heard from Sehee. Everyone took turns hunting Jiheon.

What the demon king did was hunting, or a bit like that, but what.

“I did. Why? Are you going to hunt me too?”

-Yes that’s right.

“If that’s the case, it should be done without notice. It’s not a monster or a Lu.”

-I will steal Jiheon’s heart.

“You’ve already stolen my heart.”

Even though it was stolen by a trio of phantom thieves.

But when I said it myself, I was quite embarrassed. No one was around, but it felt like someone had heard it.

-…

Even Mina, who heard that, didn’t answer, so she was even more embarrassed. Anticipating her face flushed with shame, she asked her.

“It’s Mina. Why don’t you answer me?”

-Jiheon.

“Uh, why?”

-Could you say that again? The recording was not properly

“I will not!”

She hurriedly changed her subject to hide her shame.

“So when are you going to hunt?”

-Why do you do that?

“No, if you’re going to be hunted, you should wear clothes that you can get. It’s kind of like if you get beaten up wearing only long padding and sweatpants like now.”

– Wait, this is my personal opinion, but Jiheon.

“Uh?”

– Are you wearing sweatpants underneath?

“It’s just short sleeves.”

-If you don’t wear anything, I’ll hunt you down, but it’s a bit disappointing.

“Then I will be hunted down by the police! So, when are you going to do it?”

– How are you today? You don’t have any promises with So-hee and Se-hee.

“Oh, today? It’s good. Would you like to have dinner together?”

– Isn’t it absurd to have dinner with a hunting partner?

“Is that so?”

-That’s right. I think it would be very good if it was alcohol instead.

“Okay. Where’s the drink?”

– It’s a bit of a joke, but are you okay?

“Tell me where.”

-At Hunting Pocha, I want to drink.

I couldn’t think of anything to say for a moment. I felt like I could hear the sound of the washing machine from far away, and I tried to think about what the hunting cart was doing.

-… Jiheon?

“Ah, yes! Sorry!”

I barely came to my senses when I heard Minah’s voice on my smartphone. But she seemed to take my silence as a rejection.

-Sorry. I just said it.

“Oh no! Are you okay! Hunting Pocha? Are you okay!”

-If you’re saying that for me,

“No, it’s really okay! I was just a bit surprised because it was a place I had never been to!”

-Is that so?

“Huh! It’s really okay!”

– I don’t mean that. Are you really new to hunting pocha?

“Uh?”

-Jiheon

“Yeah, but it is. Why?”

-No. Then we’ll see you at the Hunting Pocha.

“That, yes. But what time and place?”

The type was a hunting gun, the actual name wouldn’t be like that. Mina said that she knew what I was thinking.

– I will investigate and let you know. See you then.

“Okay, see you then.”

-Yes.

After saying that, I hung up the phone. I muttered to myself what I had heard earlier as I looked down at the screen of my smartphone where the call had ended.

Hunting Pocharani. Maybe it’s the best place for hunting. By the way, it’s a hunting gun.

Minah’s suggestion made me smile quietly. At the same time, I thought that it would be nice if it wasn’t a strange hunting like the devil.

The time we decided to meet was 11 o’clock, much later than usual. When I told Minah it wasn’t too late, she said it was too early in the hunting bar. Originally, 2-3 in the morning is the best.

You should sleep at night, I don’t know why you’re flirting with the opposite sex. What are insiders…

She checked the time again, thinking she didn’t understand. The time reflected on the smartphone screen was 10:49. It seemed that if I turned off my computer and left, I would be able to get there leisurely.

Following the game I was playing, I turned off the power and stood up. As I left the internet cafe, I checked my outfit through the glass window at the store entrance.

A brown leather jumper with white fleece lapels on neat black slacks. Inside, there was a thick black knit like a bottom.

When I told Se-hee that we were going to a hunting bar, she picked out these clothes. It looks like it was worn well, but it was a fashion I wasn’t sure if it would suit me.

By the way, the shoes didn’t say anything, so I wore canvas. Are you okay?

“Me, a guest?”

“Yes?”

As I was wondering if I was wearing it properly, I heard a woman’s voice from next to me. When she turned her head, she met eyes with a woman in a PC cafe uniform.

I immediately apologized because I wondered if I was interfering with the way people came and went.

“Oh, sorry. I’ll be right there.”

“You want to go already?”

“Yes? Yes, I will.”

“Customer. Excuse me, is this your first time at a PC room?”

“Yes? Yes it is.”

This wasn’t a PC room near the school I usually go to, but a place in the downtown area. I came with the intention of coming in advance and playing some games before the bus cuts off.

Well, I was going to go see Mina now.

“Hey, that…”

The employee who spoke to me hesitated and blurted out his words. Then he looked at me with his eyes shining.

“Because this is, uh, an event.”

“Yes? What event?”

“Hey, next time, come again. Oh, what if the first person comes again? At that time, that, drink, is given to you for free.”

“Then do I have to come here again?”

“Yes yes! You must come. But it’s only for the weekend. It’s because I’m there, no, it’s only at this time, yo.”

“Is it so?”

It’s a free drink. It’s an offer you can’t easily refuse.

In my head, I calculated the cost of the bus and drinks to and from here. But coming here to get something to drink for free was a bit annoying. It took a little over an hour by bus to get here.

Still, I couldn’t openly refuse in front of my eyes, so I chose a white lie.

“All right. Then I will come again next time.”

“Oh really?”

Anyone who sees it will think the employee is getting a free drink.

The clerk looked happy enough to think this. I was a little sorry, but I opened the PC room, promising to come back later.

“Then I will go. See you again.”

“Ah yes! Goodbye!”

Seeing her cheerfully greeted her made me feel better too. If you’re that kind, you’ll be willing to come again, even if it’s not a free drink.

Thinking so, I left the internet cafe and headed to the street.

Because it was Friday and the end of the year also coincided, the streets at night were filled with countless people. Men and women around my age, dressed in style, walked around smiling brightly like bright lights.

This kind of sight was the first of all the experiences I had seen in another world. There, there were many cases of banquets of nobles because bright lighting required a lot of money, and their smiles were not that clean.

The night street as bright as daylight and a smile that is not lacking. People who starve for at least one meal because they are bothered. It was a street that looked like modern civilization itself.

This street was so awkward when I thought of people who did nothing even if they had skipped a meal.

It seemed that dawn was slowly approaching. Seeing you fall into emotion like this.

But now the appointment time was approaching. If he didn’t go to the hunting pot right away, he would be late.

Recalling the map I had seen on the Internet, I walked to the store. Even in the cold winter night, I walked to the point where I was slightly sweaty, and I was able to arrive at my destination.

“Uh?”

When talking about the meeting place and time, Mina said 11:00 is early. However, at the entrance of the Hunting Pocha, three or four women were waiting in line, waiting for her entry.

She had no choice but to go behind them and wait for entry. Then, right behind me, a line of well-dressed men lined up.

There is a problem here.

“Hey, what about the guy in the back? Aren’t you okay?”

“Well? I don’t like it.”

“Then can I ask you to join me?”

“…”

“Hey, can you really do it here?”

“Crazy bastard, if you come expecting something like that, it’s rather not possible.”

“Then what are you doing here?”

I didn’t know that coming to the hunting bar would be so embarrassing. It was as if I had been forced into a position among my friends.

But I didn’t know yet. That there was a gateway left to tell the hunting pocha staff that he had come alone.
