Chapter 94 – 94. Dinner (1)

[I am really grateful to all the believers who supported our angels’ promotion match~!! Thanks to the support of our followers, promotion was successful! Our angels will come back after a good rest and show good performances in the 2nd division!]

[As expected, Battle Angels! I believed it~]
[Ascension]
[Ascension!]
[See you in the second division. Well done to all the players!]

I searched the Internet for various opinions about our team.
There were a lot of friendly reactions, but sometimes there were posts that seemed to ridicule promotion to the second division.

[What women’s team comes to the second division; The level of the league is really low.]
[It was uploaded because the original scene with the momentum was the opponent. It’s obvious that it will fall next season.]
[So, when will you make your AV debut?]

Due to the nature of the Internet community, there was no choice but to swear for no reason, and since it is a professional league that competes with other teams, fans of other teams sometimes become anti-fans.

However, it didn’t hurt much because they were familiar to me, but I didn’t want unfamiliar players to hear about being cursed at by an unspecified number of people for no reason.

Well, I was laughing and talking right now, so I didn’t have time to care about that.

“So at that time, the white sister was very embarrassed and quickly got out of her bathroom!”
“Wow, that’s really great.Hehe…”

Players chatting happily while the sizzling meat is being grilled.
All of them seemed to be happily drunk, with their cheeks flushed red.

It was rather unusual in the world of professional gamers, where younger age is more advantageous, but all of our players were adults.
Of course, that’s why I was able to eat it.

Anyway, despite this, there were many cases where the girls who lived busy lives for their own reasons had never even drank alcohol.

Alcohol is like a double-edged sword.
Moderately drunk made people feel better and more confident, making even passive people sociable.

It was not long after the dinner party started.

I felt that today was the time to share my feelings over a drink with my teammates.

“Two bottles of soju and six glasses, please.”

It was a high-end Korean beef restaurant, so it was perfect for drinking soju.

The players who look at me with different eyes at my order.
Some players had eyes shining with anticipation, but some players could not hide their worried expressions.

“I’ve never had a drink…”

Among them, Baek Ha-yan, who was 21 years old but had little social experience, was the most anxious.
It’s funny how much drinking is so great, but I thought that it could be enough if she was timid.
If you are a freshman drinking alcohol for the first time, even the smell of alcohol makes you frown.

Baek Ha-yan was not the only player who tasted soju for the first time.
No, rather, there were more kids who had never drank than kids who had ever drank.
It was the first time anyone had ever received a drink, except for Kang Yul, who was the same age as her, and who had been to various drinking parties, and Han Yu, who had lived the life of an insider before becoming a pro gamer.

I received a bottle of soju from her aunt, opened the lid, and stood up.
Kang Yul, who was next to me, skillfully dispensed soju glasses and set them in front of each table.

I said it as if I had a lot of social experience, but in fact, I also lived a life of a gambler when I was 24 years old.
The only get-togethers I’ve ever had were team get-togethers, and get-togethers where pro gamers gather to drink and play were lacking in real social life.
At least, I experienced the atmosphere indirectly when I had a dinner with the front desk.

That’s why I won’t discuss the etiquette of drinking parties or forcefully feed them in this place where I’m drinking.
How good would the coach Jeong Pal-soo at the other table, or the people at the front, think he was?

“You don’t have to drink if you don’t want to drink. Alcohol is neither good for the body nor delicious, so there is no need to force yourself to drink because you are paying attention to me.”

First, I lightly took off my luck and looked over the players.

“The reason why I insisted on pouring you a drink is because I want to be a little closer to you guys.”

It was a fairly embarrassing comment, but I was drunk with the joy of victory and took it out without hesitation.

And I filled the cup of Kang Yul.
She politely accepts her drink with both hands.
I smiled and shook my head.

“You can take it roughly.”

I was the one who wanted absolute obedience in the middle of the day, but I didn’t like the coercive atmosphere of the drinking party.
Then I filled the glasses in the order of Ryu Seo-yoon, Han Yuna, and Baek Ha-yan.

“I… I will not drink.”

Unexpectedly, Lee Ji-hye rejected her drink her, so her glass her was not filled.

When I put the bottle down, Kang Yul carefully fills my glass.

Finally, when all the players were ready, I raised my sparkling wine glass.

Here, the real pleasure of a drinking party is to give an amazing toast and clink glasses.
But I didn’t want to create such a gloomy atmosphere.

Gently holding out a glass of wine, he said to them.

“You did a good job today.”
“Thanks for your work!”

Braided!

Soju glasses and Coke bottles collided and a short silence fell.

After I emptied all my glasses, I set them down on the table.

The first thing I heard was a white whimper.

“Wow, it doesn’t taste good.”

The players laughed a little, as if they sympathized with the words.

“Now you can decide whether to drink or not.”

Saying so and not pouring any more alcohol, an hour later.

I didn’t force it, but the players who poured one or two more drinks out of curiosity got drunk before they knew it.

I stood a little distance from the chattering players and looked at them.

Even Lee Ji-hye, who avoided the first drink, was immersed in her drinking party her, laughing nonstop when she got drunk.

At first, they were at odds with each other, and each had different goals, so it was a relationship that could never be called close.

However, the appearances of the girls I’m seeing right now have become unhesitating enough to be called best friends of 10 years.

Among the conditions for a pro team to run long, of course, there was communication between team members.
Rather, I think a team with a hit-and-run atmosphere is fine.
Even though it is a team that actually fights every day, there is a team that has the nickname of teamfighting team.

However, not communicating at all was fatal.
In a team game, orders and calls are more important than ever.
If the call is not made properly because the players are not close, the burden of each player increases.

“It’s really fortunate that you guys live together.”
“Does your sister not live in a dorm?”
“Uh? That… Uh… I…”

Among the stories of the players who were talking for a while, a topic of interest came out and I pricked my ears.

Currently, four players are living in a dorm, but only one, Han Yuna, was commuting to work.
So far, there have been no big problems, but when I went up to the 2nd division, even the commute time could feel regretful.

“For what reason?”
“……”

Han Yuna hesitated for a moment and hesitated to answer.
Then Ryu Seo-yoon, who asked the question, was embarrassed and couldn’t help but feel restless.
It was because I wanted to touch a part that I shouldn’t have touched.

“If you don’t want to talk, don’t talk…”
“Nope. There’s no great reason. Actually…”

He blurts out his backstory and confesses why he is not really great.

“It’s just that I’m not used to leaving my neighborhood.”
“Ah, what am I saying again!”

That’s how Hanyu I am, and her topic about why she does n’t live in a dormitory ended boringly.
It was a conversation without nutrition, but I caught one keyword in it.
It was the longing for home that was felt in her tone.

‘Looks like there’s a story behind it.’

Kang Yul, Lee Ji-hye, Ryu Seo-yoon, and Baek Ha-yan.
Except for the mid laner Han Yuna, all the players were at the stage where they would die if I ordered them.

In any case, I succeeded in getting promoted with this member, so I wanted to go to the end without changing members.
That’s why I had a desire to get even the last remaining Han Yuna in my hands.

‘I’ll have to dig a little more into this part.’

It was the mid line, which can be considered the most important line in AOS games, but somehow I ended up attacking it at the end.

So, I also had a sense of anticipation.
Even before developing mid, they are generating synergy to this extent, so how much stronger can it be when Han Yuna is free to sell?

When she first joined Battle Angels, she thought that just getting promoted to the second division was a decent achievement, but that expectation was gradually rising.

‘I need to go to the bathroom.’

I thought I would throw my stomach away from drinking only soju, so I ordered some beer and drank it, and I immediately wanted to go to the bathroom.
After thinking about it, I got up and headed to the bathroom.
