Chapter 617 – I Think I Will Survive a Little if I Drink This

The day has finally arrived. The day I lose my freedom and become a dog of the state. I’ve felt this in another world, but the second time I experienced it, it was more fucked up.

“Mom. I’ll take one or two bottles of soju.”

“You are drinking from the wind in the morning! Throw it away!”

“It’s because I think I’ll survive a little if I drink this. Dad! Can I take some of this?”

“…”

Nod

“Are you going to be a father?”

“Honey!”

Her mother walked out of her hall to reprimand her father, who nodded silently in her kitchen. Meanwhile, I took two bottles of soju from the restaurant refrigerator and put them in a paper bag.

When I put the paper bag containing the items for the military service and the soju bottle on the table, the door to the restaurant opened and the bell on it rang.

Daughter, daughter

“Mother! Im father! Two cuties! Sohee is here♥”

Contrary to my gloomy mood, the demon king came in with a voice as clear and bright as the sound of a bell. Not only her, but Se-hee and Min-a, who usually go together with her.

“Hello, mother, father.”

“Hello. You have been struggling since early morning.”

“Oh my! Who is this!”

“…”

Nod

Seeing the three people who had come from the morning, her mother made a fuss, and she ran out alone. Her father also greeted them with a short bow through the window between the kitchen and the hall.

“Mother Yiyiing♥”

“So-hee-yaaaaang!”

The demon king who came in ahead made a snoring noise as he ran to his mother. Her mother, like her, called her stuffy, and when she stood opposite her, she held her hand and hopped in her place.

“When did you become so close?”

Seeing her like a friend of the same age, Se-hee looked at me curiously and approached me. Mina, who was following her, asked, looking at the paper bag in her hand.

“Jiheon. What is that.”

“This? I’m going to enlist and use it. Lotion and sunscreen, stuff like that.”

“Is there a scrub and body lotion? If you do something wrong, ingrow heh,”

“There is. Got it Yesterday I saw it again and again.”

“Really? Where are you? Look, why did you bring soju?”

Se-hee, who was looking at the paper bag next to me, held up a bottle of soju from inside. I said as I took it away and put it back.

“I think I should eat this.”

“Why?”

“You will find out when you go to the army. It’s not long.”

“Am I? Is that a girl?”

“Uh, what is it? Were you a woman?”

“Brother.”

It was a light joke to blow off the gloomy mood. However, Se-hee raised her lips for another factor, not my joke.

“Do you want to check that I am a woman in your room?”

“Hey, hey!”

“Why. He said he didn’t know I was a woman. That’s why I’m telling you this time.”

“Then I’ll let you know too, Jiheon.”

She dared to tell Mina that she already knew that she had been silent.

“I will tell you properly whether this jizzi is a lump of silicon or a lump of fat.”

“No, I already know!”

I wanted to yell at Min-ah for pointing out the female symbol, but I couldn’t because it was in front of her parents.

“Mother. Then I’ll say hello to my father and come back!”

At this time, the demon king, who had finished greeting her mother, approached her father. She bowed her head briskly at her father, who was watching us through her kitchen window.

“I am Father! Hello!”

It was such a lively greeting that her long silver hair that reached her back fluttered. Seeing that, Dad nodded.

“… Okay.”

Uh! What! Dad said! Even if I spoke to you, it was like once out of ten or not!

“!”

It’s different from me, but my mom, who was the first of the two, also opened her eyes wide at that figure.

No, yes. It’s a coincidence anyway. Even I have a less than 10% chance, but there are times when it happens all at once!

So I thought to myself and rationalized myself. But even in the midst of this, the demon king pretended to be friendly and talked to my dad.

“Father! Did you eat!”

“… No.”

“That can’t be done, Father! You have to eat well to get energy!”

“… Huh.”

“Next time, be sure to eat breakfast! Now, promise!”

“… Okay.”

Oh my god. The probability is 100%! And Dad walked up to his little finger! The one who is too shy to hold her hand carelessly even with her mother!

The demon king easily jumped over the wall that even his mother who lived with him for over 20 years could not overcome. She was also the Demon King, and she was also her.

“Brother.”

Se-hee called on the day she was astonished to see the demon king breaking through her father’s guard without hesitation. As I looked, she glanced in her father’s direction, with Minah next to her.

“Then we’ll come and say hello.”

“Uh, uh, yes. Okay…”

“I’ll be back, Jiheon.”

Minah, who had been silent for a while, followed Sehee. The two went to my mother and bowed their heads.

“Hello, mother. Long time no see.”

“Okay. Sehee. Long time no see?”

“Hello.”

“Oh, yes, oh, hello. It’s Minah.”

Unlike Se-hee, who smiled and said hello, her mother’s attitude towards Min-ah was very awkward. However, the story changed when a white envelope came out of Mina’s arms.

“Mother.”

Mina, in a semi-suit that she often wears even on hot summer days, pulled out her white envelope from her inside pocket. She passed it on to her mother in a polite way.

“Mom, here is a one-time pass for a massage shop.”

“Martha, a massage?”

“Yes that’s right. I got it from an acquaintance, but I didn’t go to a massage shop, so I kept it. So, I hope my mother will accept it.”

“Yes. Thank you, Mina. I will definitely go.”

My mother looked a little bewildered until she received her envelope. Of course, that was the story before opening the envelope.

“Would you like to open it?”

“Oh my goodness!”

As she checked her contents, her mother widened her eyes in surprise. Then, as if she couldn’t believe it, she looked back and forth between the inside of the envelope and Minah.

“This is very famous… ! Isn’t this expensive?”

“No big deal. It is my sincerity, so please accept it.”

“Oh-ho-ho! Gotta get it, boy!”

Upon receiving her gift, her mother raised her voice as she did when she greeted her demon lord earlier. Min-ah’s offensive (sports store gift certificates) also led to her father, and she was able to get an answer to her attack with Se-hee.

After saying hello like that, the demon king, Sehee, and Minah came back to me. Now, their attention is on the bag I packed when I enlisted.

“Hey, why did you bring soju?”

“To drink on the way.”

“Just leave it here, brother. Someone goes to the army and goes drinking. I will be photographed by the assistant.”

“No. The state is taking away my body, but I don’t want to take away even this.”

“Jiheon. Jiheon’s body belongs to us, not the state. It’s just the state borrowing for a while.”

“… Is it?”

It made sense and felt good, so I took out a bottle of soju. Minah, who received it, put it back in the refrigerator, and her mother, who was looking at this, approached and said,

“Jiheon.”

“Huh?”

“Are you leaving now?”

The way he looked at me was quite different from when he looked at my girlfriend(s) earlier. My mother held my hand with both of her hands as she had tears in her eyes as if she was about to cry.

“Jiheon. I’m sorry Mom and Dad couldn’t make it.”

“Oh, no. Are you okay. You’re not going alone. I have kids too.”

“I’m sorry though. We have to go together.”

As my mother said, my parents couldn’t go on my enlistment day. I couldn’t just close the restaurant, and there was no one I could trust, so I had to go with my girlfriends.

“… Jiheon.”

Dad came out of the kitchen and approached me with a firm face. Standing next to Mom, Dad reached into the pockets of his apron stained with food broth. When his hand came out, there were four 50,000 won bills.

“… Take it.”

“Uh, no. Are you okay.”

“… Receive.”

“No, I’m really fine.”

There is not much time left to spend money. But I didn’t want to ignore the present my dad gave me, so I raised my mom’s hand that wasn’t holding.

“Thank you.”

“…”

Dad nodded silently, his eyes slightly wet like mom.

“Jiheon.”

Mom called me again. Mom said, she looked at me with a worried look.

“You have to be careful. You do it well. Don’t do anything dangerous, just say no.”

“Okay, Mom. You don’t have to worry.”

“It’s because I’m worried, this one. And do you know my home address? Send me a letter every week. Understand?”

“I will. Are you okay.”

“…”

Chin.

“Dad. Dad, why are you holding hands? No, Dad has been there too. They say that the army these days is better than in the past, so don’t worry.”

“…”

No matter how much I tried to reassure my parents, it didn’t work. Of course, it was never that I hated worrying about me. Because I know it’s just a useless worry.

In this world, I was the one who survived by going back and forth on many battlefields. For me, the army these days was like a playground. Although it was a playground that made me want to go crazy, it was really nothing.

“Mother! Father!”

At this time, the demon king intervened with a lively face and reassured the two.

“You don’t have to worry! It wasn’t okay for Jiheon to hit the car last year! I got a good workout too! Are you okay. It’s because Jiheon doesn’t have any friends, he’ll do well in the army.”

“Hey.”

“So don’t worry too much, take it easy. You’re not going to die. And my dad says he knows someone in the Air Force, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Right, right?”

“…”

I was talking nonsense, but the words of the demon king eased my parents’ worries a little. Mom and Dad slowly let go of the hand they were holding tightly as if they would not let go.

And when I finally let go of my hand, I greeted the two of them with a sad heart.

“Mom and dad. I’ll go and come. See you next month.”
