Chapter 537 – I Feel Like I’m Eating Some Kind of Snot

“Haaa~am”

Sehee across the table opened her mouth small and yawned. The wind gave me a glimpse of the food that had been chewed in my mouth, but it also seemed cute to me.

I looked at it with satisfaction and ate what was called pickled seaweed with chopsticks. Then, while eating, I asked him about his yawning.

“Why are you sleepy?”

“Of course I am sleepy.”

Sae-hee answered my words and split the grilled salmon with chopsticks. While her younger brother sat next to her, she smiled and explained why her older sister was sleepy.

“This is all because of you. With that long hump of yours,”

“Oh little.”

“Hmm? Did Jim say something wrong?”

“Oh my god. Look at that shameless thing.”

I admired the shamelessness of the devil who brought up such a story while eating breakfast. At this time, Mina, who was sitting next to me, pointed to one of her bowls placed in front of her.

“Jiheon. Sprinkle this over rice and enjoy. Delicious.”

“Oh yeah?”

What Mina said was delicious was the yellowish-colored liquid. It was in a bowl half the size of my palm, but I didn’t know what it was, so I asked.

“What’s this?”

“This is Tororo. It is a food made by grinding yams.”

“Okay? Do you like this?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“How are you eating?”

I tried to pick it up with chopsticks, but there were no ingredients, so I couldn’t catch anything. Mina, who saw that, showed the rice bowl she was eating and said.

“Put it on rice like this, sprinkle soy sauce, and eat it.”

“I see.”

Without thinking, she lifted the bowl with the tororo and tried to pour it into the rice.

“Pu-sup, keuk!”

However, the eyes of the demon king looking at me were unusual. As if they were trying to trick me…

The reason why the demon king was doing that could only be heard after pouring a certain amount of tororo. Mina, who saw me pouring it, explained how it was delicious for her.

“This way, the texture is like Jiheon’s semen, and it’s delicious.”

“Oh, hey!”

“Be quiet, Jiheon. We are not alone.”

“That’s it now, oh, really!”

Even when he hurriedly lifted the bowl, it was already over half spilled.

“Do I really have to say something like that?”

I grumbled and returned the bowl containing the tororo to its original place. Seeing me like that, the demon king laughed with his shoulders trembling.

“Ahahahaha! Haha! It’s like I don’t know about this! Come on eat! Hurry up and eat and try to understand their feelings!”

“Sister, be quiet. Everyone sees it.”

Before I could say anything, Sehee said something. Then, unlike the other women, she quietly ate Japanese breakfast.

As she said, we weren’t alone here. There were other guests in the large space with tables lined up, and we were the only ones talking loudly among them.

“Hmm, hmm.”

Perhaps even the demon king was concerned about the gazes around her, she cleared her throat and started to eat quietly. Seeing his quiet appearance, I was slightly relieved and cooked rice with chopsticks, ah.

“Jiheon. It is recommended to sprinkle with soy sauce and eat.”

I forgot what state my rice was in because I looked around with the demon king. Tororo, which had a semen-like texture, was spread over my white rice.

“Ha, really.”

After thinking about what to do, I decided to sprinkle soy sauce like Mina said. She picked up a bottle of soy sauce from the table, sprayed it in a circular motion, mixed it roughly with her chopsticks, and ate it.

“Shit… I’m sorry…”

He picked up a bowl of rice and put it in his mouth as if scooping it up with chopsticks. The taste of tororo was not as bad as I thought. It didn’t have any particular taste or smell, but instead the thick texture felt like runny nose.

“Ugh.”

The taste wasn’t bad, but the strange texture made my face frown on its own. Seeing me like this, the demon king burst into a big smile even though it was smaller than before.

Haha! How about it, I feel like I know how they feel.”

“Oh, it looks like you’re eating some kind of runny nose.”

“I felt the same way when I ate yours. However, what to say…”

The Demon King, who spoke in a playful way, blurted out his words as if trying to remember the taste of my bodily fluids. Furthermore, he tried to express the taste by waving his chopsticks like a baton.

“That, there was such a deep flavor that no other food had, bitter and fishy, ​​but indescribable. Hmm.”

“What is he saying now.”

Usually, when I talk to my girlfriends, there are many cases where I joke and hate it, but this time I was sincere. I felt really sick to my stomach thinking of the sticky residue in my mouth and the smell of mine.

I asked Mina about today’s schedule to somehow change the subject.

“It’s Mina. What are you going to do today?”

“I plan to go to Kyoto today.”

“Kyoto?”

“Yes that’s right. It was the capital of Japan for about 1000 years, and there are many old cultural festivals.”

“And it’s also a place where many young Japanese go on school trips!”

Mina was listening carefully to her explanation when the Demon King interrupted her. After emptying her rice bowl, she took my grilled salmon and ate it.

“Since it is a place like Gyeongju in Korea, many students will come on a field trip. And it’s still July. It’s an opportunity to see active high school girls in action.”

“Your sister was also a high school girl until last year. That too.”

“Well, the salmon is really good.”

“Are you not listening to me? No, but stop eating. Let me eat some too.”

“Then take yours and eat it yourself. Jim will eat this.”

“Did I bring this?”

“Hmm? Didn’t you bring it to eat?”

“I brought it to eat. Not you, but me.”

Breakfast here was buffet style, just like the hotels we stayed in Osaka. There was also Japanese food we ate, and there was bread or toast that we could easily eat. But the demon king ate all of his own, so he stole and ate mine.

“I’ll bring you another one. Stop stealing and eating.”

“Stealing and eating! What a thief Jim is! The only thing Jim stole was your heart!”

Although the demon king was angry with the red ban, the corners of his mouth went up because he liked the last words. Seeing such a day, Mina and Sehee sat across from each other and talked.

“There it is again. Also.”

“It doesn’t seem to get tired of doing it every day.”

“Looking at that makes me feel a bit sick.”

“Eat toro. It is said to be good for the inside.”

“I thought it would make my stomach worse if I ate that. I will pass.”

“Hey, don’t just eat meat, eat pickled seaweed. Delicious.”

“Ha ha, thank you! By the way, I want you to feed my luggage, right?”

“Are you a kid? Come on, ah~”

“Minah unnie, please. Quickly.”

Just squeeze that!

After breakfast, we talked about what to do with a little time left until check-out. Washing was washed before breakfast, and it was annoying to go into the hot springs, so the result came out.

“Hmm, it looks like there is a souvenir shop over there.”

“It looks just like that.”

“Jiheon, only over there… You have to buy Jay.”

“What. 10,000 won or 10,000 yen?”

The souvenir shop at this ryokan is located right next to the lobby. Actually, I was planning to look around yesterday, but during the day, I was busy doing it in my room, and in the evening, Se-hee collapsed and I didn’t think to go.

The souvenir shop I visited right before I left was not much different from what I saw at the airport or Dotonbori. There were stacked flat boxes of sweets outside, and accessories, chopsticks, and handkerchiefs were visible inside.

After visiting the souvenir shop, we went right inside without paying attention to the snacks. Inside, as seen from the outside, various handicrafts were displayed.

“Hmm, that’s fine.”

“Minah unnie, isn’t that pretty? A handkerchief.”

“Yes that’s right. That teacup is fine too.”

When the women saw the pretty craft, they turned their eyes away and began to act on their own. I changed from a yukata to everyday clothes and looked at the tourists-like girls for a while, then turned my eyes to the display.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t interested in crafts. I thought pretty things were pretty even for men, and above all, I had to choose a present for Taeyeon and Yena. Of course, something to give to your parents as well.

“Hmm, what should I choose…”

I looked at the shelves with various crafts while contemplating. A demon king with a ring of wisdom that can be bought in Korea came to me.

“Um, come on. Is there anything you would like to buy?”

“No. I’m looking for it now.”

“Then what about that? There, at the end of the shelf.”

I turned my head following the direction the demon king pointed out. Then, wooden swords filled with barrels that looked like umbrella stands caught my eye.

In an instant, my heart was pounding. If you buy that, Taeyeon can use it while working, and Yena grew up later and used it for self-defense!

“How can you give something like that as a gift? Don’t joke, be serious.”

“You didn’t even say you were giving it as a gift.”

“Oh, did you?”

“It was. Then, if you give it as a gift, how about that one?”

This time, the demon king pointed at the top of the display stand. When I looked up, I found a real Japanese sword in a glass frame.

“How can you give me that!”

“Hmm?”

At my retort, the demon king frowned as if he was rather embarrassed. Then he spoke of his house.

“Jim’s father got that as a gift. Don’t you remember? It was hanging on the wall in the living room, and your mother swung at you.”

“Oh right. It did.”

“Haha, really. What is your mother doing Even thinking about it now, I don’t know.”

The first time I went to the demon lord’s house, my mother, a goddess, swung a knife at me. At that time, my father screamed as the carpet was torn, but now that was a fun memory.

Anyway, I shook my head thinking that I couldn’t give you the real sword.

“Is there anything else? A good gift.”

“Well, Jim doesn’t like it even if he chooses the best. It’s difficult.”

“How do you give a knife as a gift?”

“That’s right, Jiheon.”

At this time, Mina, who was looking around, joined us. She added reasons why she shouldn’t, as she said with her glum face.

“Gifting knives in Japan means insulation. And even if you buy it, it gets confiscated at the airport.”

“Hmm? So you’re saying that Jim’s father was cut off?”

“I can see that.”

“Your father was surprisingly hated. Jim should do well.”

Ignoring the Demon King who muttered like a filial daughter, this time I asked Mina.

“It’s Mina. I’m going to give it to Taeyeon and Yena, what do you think would be good?”

“I recommend this.”

What Minah pointed at was a teacup. It was a pretty teacup that could be used for decoration even if it was not used in everyday life, but the price was a problem.

“This one is 10,000 yen.”

“Tea saucers are sold separately, so they cost 12,000 yen. Consumption tax is separate.”

“That’s not the problem! Something else! Something else!”

“I will pay the money. Jiheon, just give me your heart.”

“Wouldn’t it be too shameless if I just gave my heart?!”

“Then you can give your body too.”

“Ah! You can do this! Hey, go to the counter over there!”

As if he remembered something, the excited Demon King pointed at the counter. Then, with a bright face like a child, he spit out the dirty delusion of an adult.

“You just buy a string for a present and tie it to your body! Big! Jim thinks it’s a brilliant idea!”

“What’s the point!”

“I am also Sohee.”

“I will freeze to death as expected!”

“What are you all doing there?”

Se-hee came to me as I was making a fuss in the store. I told her as I hurriedly approached her, who had at least a normal mind.

“Se-hee! No, they will give you a knife and a 100,000 won teacup as a gift!”

“Oh, really?”

“And tie a gift string around your body and give it to me too!”

“That sounds like a good idea.”

“Se-hee?!”

It wasn’t surprising in the first place. At least he said he had a normal accident, but he didn’t say he had a normal accident.

Anyway, I asked Sehee for advice.

“I’m going to give Taeyeon and Yena a present, what do you think would be good?”

“Then let’s do this.”

What Sehee said was the gopchang band and notebook in her hand. Both of them had gorgeous colors, so they seemed good to give to a woman, and they could be used in real life, so they seemed appropriate to give as gifts.

I nodded and tried to buy a hair tie and notebook.

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

“If a wooden sword or a real sword doesn’t work, how about a shuriken?”

“Jiheon, this fan is no more than 11,000 yen including tax.”

However, the Demon King and Minah didn’t seem to like it.
