Chapter 56 – The Burp Keeps Coming Out!

Asa is inherently a lonely being. Like a cheetah that survives alone, you can laugh at the lions who are weeded out if you don’t form a group. Also, it must be the privilege of Asa to be able to enjoy the sea quietly without being disturbed by others.

“Hey! What is our best friend Jiheon doing there!”

“Do you really want to intervene when I’m lost in my thoughts?”

“So you don’t like Jim approaching me like this?”

He didn’t feel the need to answer, so he shut his mouth. In the meantime, the demon king approached me standing on an observatory overlooking the sea.

“What are you doing here? Even alone.”

“You were watching the sea. And then he thought about my existence.”

“Then you didn’t think of Jim?”

The Demon King muttered as he leaned against the observatory railing. As I put my arm on his railing, a strong sea breeze blew just in time. The wind blew my long silver hair down to my back and tickled my face.
I don’t know what I was thinking at that time, but I said the words that I normally kept in his head.

“I can only think of you now.”

“!”

The wind died down and the silver hair subsided. Hearing my words, the demon king opened his eyes wide and looked at me without a word. Surprised, seeing her face reminded me of what I said.

“Oh no, not that!”

After seeing my reaction, the demon king began to raise the corner of his mouth. At the same time, her cheeks were blushing, and she moved to the side and came closer to me.

“Is it. Right now, Gengar only thinks of Jim.”

“You said it wrong!”

“I’m sure he said that because he was only thinking about Jim, hmm.”

I turned my head and looked at the sea like before. But even so, the image of her silver hair fluttering beautifully did not leave her mind.

“You.”

The demon king leaned slightly over the railing and put his head in front of my eyes. I couldn’t take my eyes off her with her sea-blue eyes.

“By the way, Jim only thinks of you right now.”

When I heard that, I was startled and involuntarily took a deep breath. Then, the strong smell of the sea, the sweet scent of the demon king, and the scent of alcohol entered my nose.

I took a half step back and asked.

“Have you been drinking?”

“Can’t you?”

It was said that he drank.

“You brought something to drink. Don’t say anything about just eating.”

The demon king put his hand into the pocket of his tracksuit, took out something and held it out. It was soju in a small plastic bottle.

“I’m not going to eat!”

“Ah, didn’t you come to the MT to drink?”

“No it’s not! So, are you here for a drink?”

“Jim came to be with you.”

“What?”

“Ah, can’t it be that you can’t eat because you don’t have snacks?”

The demon king fell off the railing and walked down the path to the marine park. He probably told me as we headed in the direction of the bus we were on.

“Jim will bring snacks, so wait there for a bit!”

“I’m not eating!”

Whether she listened to me or not, she didn’t stop her steps.

I turned my eyes to the always selfish demon king and looked at the sea again. But again, there was someone who stood in my way.

“Jiheon. What did you just talk about with your senior?”

When I turned my head to the opposite side of where the demon king was heading, I saw a glass. She, too, was carrying a beer bottle and a snack bag.

I strained her body, not knowing if she might hold the bottle upside down at any moment.

“Uh? No, I just didn’t say anything. He said he wanted to have a drink with me.”

“I don’t think it was.”

Suddenly, a glimmer of darkness fell in her eyes.

“Didn’t you kiss me?”

“No!”

“You did that right. Did you? You did Why did you say you didn’t do it to me? Huh? Tell me. Jiheon.”

Gradually, her hand holding her beer bottle began to move toward the mouth of her bottle. Even plastic, not glass, would hurt quite a bit.

“I didn’t!”

“Are you okay. Kissing is no big deal. But please don’t lie to me.”

“You didn’t kiss me?”

While retorting, she remembered what she had seen that night. Yuri, kissing Ha-joon, looked happy. I wondered if I would look like her now, hers.

Still, feeling that now is not the time for such thoughts, she used the same tactics she had at her mart.

“I didn’t, Yuri. Don’t you believe me?”

“I believe. But I can’t believe you when you lie like this.”

“What you believe now is the idea that I lied. Not myself.”

“Huh?”

Yuri’s pupils shook as if she had been stabbed in her heart. She drove this momentum and she kept opening her mouth.

“I don’t care if you believe it or not. Still, I want to say this with certainty.”

Tightening her eyes, she looked into her eyes.

“I didn’t kiss you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, really.”

It was a glass that she still couldn’t believe. I gave her the final blow.

“I’ve said this and if you don’t believe me, I’m disappointed.”

“No! Believe!”

The word disappointment struck her dramatically. Yuri screamed desperately, making her face pale.

“Believe! Trust me, Jiheon! So please don’t throw it away!”

“No, I won’t throw it away!”

“Really? Are you really not abandoning me?”

I felt like I was a keut playing with women. As the devil said this morning, I came up with a character called Geumtaeyang who plays with women.

Feeling remorse, she decided to change the subject. Yuri asked, pointing to the beer bottle she was holding.

“But why did you bring it?”

Yuri said with an exaggeratedly bright face that she thought this would regain my trust.

“I brought it to drink with you! Did I do well?”

“No, can I have a drink now? Aren’t you supposed to drink it tonight?”

“The professor said you could drink a little. They said the bus leaves in an hour, so you should have plenty of time.”

Saying that, she approached me. She handed me a beer bottle.

“Would you like a drink? Huh? Let’s drink Even just one drink is fine.”

Before I said I knew, I remembered the demon king who said he would bring snacks. If I was having a drink with Yuri, it was obvious that she wouldn’t like it.

“Jiheon! Come on!”

But Yuri was already sitting on a nearby bench, getting ready to drink with me. I had no choice but to sit on the bench because she always seemed unstable.

“Ruler!”

Yuri held out a paper cup of her beer to me. Accepting it, she too held out her paper cup.

“Braided! Let’s do it. Braided!”

She held her glass still, but she accidentally bumped her glass. Yuri took her paper cup and drank her beer, and I took a sip as well.

Gulp

The beer taste was not as good as usual. Depending on the paper cup, it felt less carbonated than canned beer, and it was lukewarm because it had been left at room temperature for a long time. But even including that, the taste was markedly different from the one I drank with the demon king in my own room.

“Gulp, Gulp, Fuhu!”

Yuri, who emptied her glass at once, lowered her paper cup and ate the snack. I also grabbed one and she asked.

“Jiheon.”

“Huh?”

“Why are you hanging out with your senior?”

“Coke! Coke!”

Surprised, I was eating snacks and stopped by Sare. He coughed and asked again.

“Coke! That’s why? Coke!”

“It’s strange to talk about it, and you only make it difficult by making it work.”

The glass she is talking about now looked similar to her before she became strange. I don’t know if it’s because she doesn’t have a demon king nearby, or if she just goes back to normal after drinking. Even so, my heart calmed down as I followed her softer appearance.

The tension was relieved, and he answered while eating a snack.

“No, he’s just dragging it one-sidedly.”

“Then you can just not meet. No way… Is it because that bitch is pretty?”

Again, darkness fell in her eyes.

Do you think she’s all right? Inside, she muttered that in denial.

“That’s not right.”

Certainly, the Demon King was pretty. He was white, which is not easily seen in Korea, and had silver hair, which was even more rare. Her doll-like features and confident smile always made her shine. But that wasn’t the reason I went with her.

She asked, forgetting to pour her beer into her empty glass.

“Then what is it?”

“That… “

I’m not sure either. There were many cases where the demon king made it difficult for me physically. She often plays strange pranks, and before the last rank, she did a lot of strange things, such as playing around with Thresh. Still, it was always fun.

“That’s because the luggage itself makes Jiheon happy!”

The demon king’s lively voice came from behind. When he turned his head, he saw the Demon King holding a bag of beef jerky.

“I told you to wait, did you have a fight with Yuri first?”

“Senior.”

She looked forward again. Yuri looked up at the demon lord behind me with an unsteady face again.

“Senior, Jiheon and I are talking.”

“Ah, is that so?”

The demon king came out with a shameless smile and returned to the side of Yuri.

“Then can I join you with your luggage?”

“No, this seat is,”

“What does it matter? It doesn’t matter if you eat while standing.”

Saying that, she opened the bag of jerky and placed it next to the snack bag. She then laughed as she looked at the beer in front of the glass.

“Beer? Yuri, do you drink beer as alcohol? A drink like this?”

“Yes?”

Yuri looked up at her demon king with an absurd face. And she glanced sideways at me for a moment, then she smiled at the senior and said,

“How is this drink? It’s alcohol.”

“I don’t get drunk no matter how much I drink something with such a low alcohol content. Are you drunk?”

“You’re not getting drunk no matter how much you drink?”

“Hmm! Yes!”

“Then can you one-shot this?”

“What?”

I wasn’t the only one surprised by Yuri’s words. The demon king also opened her blue eyes round and looked down at the glass. However, Yuri held up her beer bottle as if waiting for that response.

“Your senior just said that this is no different from drinking water. Then we can drink it all at once, right?”

“I did.”

“I heard that Jiheon is a woman who drinks well, so she likes it.”

“When did I!”

Yuri ignored my words and took the glass I was drinking from. Then she deliberately emptied her cup in front of the demon king.

“Yuri!”

“It’s okay. Jiheon, don’t worry.”

On the day I tried to dry the glass, the demon king stopped it. She smiled confidently.

“Okay, accept that challenge!”

Receiving the glass beer bottle, she put the mouth of her bottle in her mouth without delay.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp.”

Like a jar with a hole in it, the liquor flowed in and out without a break. The water level, no, the alcohol around it, slid over the brown plastic bottle. When the bottle was completely empty, the demon king lowered the bottle and shouted.

“Puhaha! Didn’t you change it to Coke, hmm?”

But as she spoke, she put on an uncomfortable expression.

“Hee hee.”

Yuri saw it and smiled. And soon after, the Demon King spewed gas.

“Turn it off.”

She burped without realizing it, and she looked surprised as well.

I saw that and realized that this was what Yuri was aiming for. It was her plan to make me burp in front of me and show ugliness.

As planned, the demon king could not stop burping. But she wasn’t one to be ashamed of.

“Fuck! Oh, geuk, drinking cola and guuuuu!”

She was the kind of woman who burped even when she spoke.

Yuri hardened her face when she saw the demon king who was not shy at all. The Demon King spoke confidently without hiding it.

“Kkeo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo eo!”

With the longest burp ever, the devil smiled a winner’s smile. When Yuri saw her like that, her face went rotten, but I thought I was dying from laughing.

“Knock!”

The belching didn’t stop even on the way to the hostel.
