Chapter 70 – Episode 70 – A Slightly Gloomy Drinking Party With Three Women

* Episode 70 – A slightly depressing drinking party with three women

Aside from exaggeration, she may have one of every skill currently available in the world.

She said, showing off her knowledge.

“I don’t know!”

It was a really neat assertion.

It’s the first time in my life that I’ve ever seen someone so confidently say they don’t know.

“This is my first time seeing everything from the R rating to the content. They even hide the conditions from the owner and assert that it is invincible mode and all.”

“Don’t you know about Maan, who is ranked #1?”

“Yes.”

“It’s embarrassing for something I’ve boasted about.”

“The opposite is true. How actively do I collect skills? If I don’t know, no one else knows.”

“… Huh?”

“How many skills do you think we can collect by trading other people’s skills? At least in Korea, it’s just me and Madam.”

Same thing.

It means that the person who has the most skills as well as the most types of skills does not know.

“So, I’m telling you, that’s a perfect skill, right?”

“That much?”

“They even said you were being favored by the Constellation, right? Then it’s clear. They want you to conquer the tower, so you never make a mistake. They may have added something like this to save your life.”

If you think like that, it feels reassuring.

A kind of one coin.

It is clear that it is a great way to revive the article.

“Drink more than that. We have a lot to talk about.”

“It’s not as much as I thought.”

“It’s okay. After your story is over, our story will spill out as well. At least have someone to talk to next to you.”

“They said it was a celebration, but it looks like they participated in a women’s gathering?”

“What? You don’t want to chat with us?”

“No, welcome.”

I am stuck among these beauties.

While drinking beer in moderation, I talked about what I saw and remembered at the tower.

Listen to the three people’s stories…

The drinking party was short in reality but felt long, and it was time to get drunk.

*

When I came to my senses, it became an ordinary drinking party.

I only drank beer, so I wasn’t too drunk, and Madame was strong on alcohol, so she was in a good mood to the point where she cleaned up after herself.

On the other hand, Ian-

“I hate my mom… Every man I’ve had my eye on gets screwed over by my mom… Even though I’m that old, I’m told that aging has disappeared… But my mom says…”

Before I knew it, I had pushed Madame away and clung to my side with Sister Zita.

‘Is this the person I saw in Ceres’ memories?’

A person with narrow eyes full of motherly love and a model of beauty.

The combination of mother and daughter hunters was unique, and they were both beautiful, so they were memorable.

“Don’t you think this is too much!? You’re someone else’s mother~? No matter how much you say you won’t age thanks to the tower’s grace! I have such the eldest daughter! But! Everyone but me has passed on to my mother~!!”

She asked without knowing anything.

“Are you that pretty?”

“Ugh… It’s pretty. If you like someone who’s a bit more mature and kind, you’ll pass over it without exception. If you look up my mom’s name on the internet, the first ones that come up are magazines where she was a swimsuit model!?”

I’m interested, but I don’t really want to look into it.

It is obvious what kind of photos or vulgar words will be exchanged.

“What kind of person are you?”

“Aren’t you interested in my mom too!?”

“What’s the point of interest when I don’t even know her face? I’m just asking because she looks upset. Why? What happened with your mom?”

“Ugh… I’m a bastard…”

It adhered more deeply.

Even though she looked like this, I thought she was very dependent, so I unconsciously hugged her side.

I feel a little cheated.

“Did I just say that! My mom steals all the men I flirt with! I want to date too! So I dyed my hair like an adult and tried to be relaxed~! Ugh… No matter what I did, it didn’t work! One day, she said to me, A man approached me and said, ‘I’m kind of popular too!’ I was excited… Her goal was to be my mom from the beginning!!”

“Oh my. Bad bastard. There are all kinds of bastards like that?”

“Really!? You’re a bad bastard! Not only do you play with women’s hearts, you’re more than one bastard trying to be a stepfather!”

He struggled, saying he suffered internal injuries because of that.

Really, how would it feel if all the men were taken away by one’s own mother?

It looks funny on the outside…

“If I were to be a man, I brought a woman and my father took all my girlfriends away, right?”

“Yes!”

“And… You’re just telling me that I’m going to be a stepmom?”

“Uh, yes! Yes, yes, yes!! A deal like that!?”

Oh…

Just imagine this.

“British. When you compare it like that, I suddenly feel like shit. There’s even a bitch who approaches me to fuck my dad? What kind of slut is she?”

“You don’t know anything about prostitution! It’s true! It’s better… Even if I say this, there are people who understand how much I’ve been hurt! I really don’t have many people…! Ugh~!”

As she squeezed out tears, she rubbed her cheek against my thigh.

No matter how drunk I am, I never thought I would rub against a man’s thigh.

I continued to curse and struggle with my legs as if something had accumulated.

“My mom is also an idiot… When those kids approach me, I feel awkward at first… But if they really attack me, I’m the kind of person who can’t throw them away…”

“Did you really commit it?”

“No… But you still protect the front line… I’m also standing next to you with my eyes wide open… But the problem is that people are so good that they generally forgive…”

I swore repeatedly.

-Fool.

-Idiot.

-A woman who steals someone else’s man.

-When someone approaches you, be suspicious.

-I am not a crime prevention buzzer just for moms.

-Be suspicious.

In general, it was advice rather than swearing.

“Foolish mother… I was deceived by someone like that… And became a hunter…”

“…?”

“I miss people… So I create a guild…”

The words became smaller and smaller.

“Mom… I’m sorry…”

During the story, he seemed to be so drunk that he started crying.

Currently, Ian’s mother and former number one in the rankings is trapped in the tower.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t save you sooner…”

I don’t know what it’s like to be confined in a tower like that.

From what she’s saying, it looks like they have a better relationship than a typical mother and daughter, so maybe that’s why it’s so sad.

“It’s okay, man. We’ll gather people right away and break through to the 29th floor. After a month, the 30th floor will open. I’ll push the gate, so let’s go rescue it together.”

“Do you believe it…?”

“That’s what I called you for, so why are you asking me again?”

I waited for Ian to recover while scratching his white-blond hair that showed a hint of black that had not been dyed.

He buried his face in my thigh and didn’t move.

I heard a strange breathing sound, and instead of waking up, I fell asleep briefly.

“I’ll bring a blanket.”

After Madame left, the sister sitting next to her approached.

She pressed her cheek against my shoulder, opening her cleavage and releasing heat.

“I thought she was targeting old ladies, but I guess she’s having more fun flirting with people of the same age?”

“It’s just listening to their stories. It’s easier to become friends if you listen to other people’s situations rather than just talking about yourself.”

“Did you like it?”

“Isn’t that what social life is like?”

“There are a number of kids who are left out of society because they are not good at simple things, and I say this well.”

Sister Brigitta was also quite drunk.

As if she couldn’t control herself, she drank alcohol and started to pour out.

“Aren’t you drinking too much, sister?”

“Leave it alone. You should drink it on a good day like this.”

Gulp~!

“-Phew! I was wondering if it would be right to break through the 10th floor and hold a celebration, but it turns out that we just broke through to the 20th floor. How can you get hungry without drinking this?”

Hehe, Bridget is laughing.

Even though this person was smiling, he looked dangerous.

“Sister.”

“Why?”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“How. Are you going to seduce the lady this time?”

“What am I trying to do? I’m just trying to hear your story.”

“You’re just teasing me. Look at Ian. If you keep hearing such depressing stories, you’ll only feel bad. Who’s going to listen to you happily?”

“You never know. Maybe there’s another pervert whose hobby is listening to other people’s situations and empathizing with them.”

“You’re so weird too.”

Gulp.

I took a swig of alcohol to burn my insides and put my head down again.

Her signature red hair and freckles reached the nape of my neck.

“No matter what the circumstances are, I just want to see my daughter who was taken instead of me. There’s nothing else.”

“What kind of kid are you?”

“Look at me. Ginger has such impressive red hair. Unlike me, she doesn’t have freckles and is very pretty. At first glance, you wouldn’t even know whose child it is, right?”

“Do you have a photo?”

“Nothing.”

“Huh? What about your cell phone?”

“Same thing there. I deleted all the pictures there.”

When I looked at him with strange eyes, he answered helplessly.

“It’s because I get depressed when I look at pictures. I have a lot of contact here and there, and I have to use my phone a lot, so it’s constantly on my mind.”

“Why are you belittling your own situation when you are going through a lot of emotional hardship?”

“Try whining to a younger boy. He says he expects a lot from you, but that’s only an expectation. You need to organize your mind, so you don’t break down like you did if you failed.”

“I guess there were a lot of people who tried and failed?”

“You’ve seen the gimmick too. It’s not just one or two. So, for the most part, I tried not to give it much attention…”

My sister sighed.

Leaning on my shoulder.

“What am I doing now…”

I am the one who succeeded among all those people.

Moreover, it is a stable case with no sense of crisis, such as ‘likely to fail’.

“You’re human too. Sometimes you have to let go of your worries to keep your mind healthy.”

“And if she fails, her heart will be broken. I can’t even imagine how shaken her mentality will be.”

“Why are you thinking such negative thoughts? You have always been so innocent.”

“… I’m sorry for being so upset♪”

Even though I tried my best to be cute, I still felt sorry for him.

Since I couldn’t touch this woman’s body, she behaved awkwardly with her hand toward the fruit.

“Please tell me some information about him.”

“I’m 12 years old here. I’m currently in the 6th grade of elementary school, and my birthday is in a month.”

It’s my first time, but my birthday was last time.

“The name is Leah. As for her appearance, as I said earlier, her personality is a stubborn and opinionated person that is not appropriate for her age. We are currently suspecting that she may be somewhere on the 15th floor, so we are going to hire someone to search for her.”

“The floor where Eumma is babysitting?”

“At least on the 50th floor, that’s the only place where a child could be. But the problem is that it’s so wide that it’s hard to find. I don’t know if I’ll be able to find it or not…”

“I just took a quick look at the map there, so how big is it?”

“I don’t know much about Korea… Uh, in that sense, it’s at the level of a province?”

“Do?”

“Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, Jeollanam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do…? In particular, the 15th floor, which is the demilitarized zone, is really wide.”

‘It’s gone.’

I understand roughly.

It’s ridiculously wide.

The 15th floor occupies a land area worth several million people.

“So are you worried about the search?”

“That’s because those bitches are actively hiding people. It’s already hard to find them, but they’re hiding them here and there, so they’re really going to turn me away?”

My sister smoked instead of drinking.

Black smoke rose as if my insides were burning.

“You’re 12… Uh, how old are you?”

“34 this year.”

“Then around age 22?”

“What?”

“I heard the child is 12 years old. Then wasn’t that when you gave birth?”

“Uh, uhh, what kind of deal is this?”

“?”

“She is my daughter, but she is not my biological daughter. She is my dead sister’s daughter.”

“… Huh?”

“Didn’t you tell me?”

It was the first time I heard it.
