Chapter 2 – Chapter 0-Wait a Minute, This Isn’t It

“I think you already know why I called you.”

“..Since So-in is a humble person, the only thing he can boast of is his small fortune-telling skills. If you tell me what you want, I will try my hand at it. “

“Because it’s a heavenly leak, are you saying that we should keep in mind the possibility that it won’t actually happen?”

“…I’m sorry.”

It is unavoidable.

This is a story that includes other guru and spiritual creatures besides me.

It might not be known if it is a freshman who has already reached the top, but foresight that does not deviate from the human realm is impossible.

In fact, I have been wrong many times. Rumors spread that he was so brave because he hit the really important things right.

“You don’t have to worry so much. I didn’t mean to blindly believe in your words anyway. I just called out out of curiosity because rumors about a fortune teller who was useful in Moorim spread so much these days.”

“..This is an undeserved evaluation.”

I want to cry.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have just spent a decent amount of time looking at my fortune or love luck.

“Then… What exactly can I look at? Can I look at the future of Protestantism?”

“You can do that.”

“..All right.”

“The results are out..”

He opened his mouth as he retrieved the eight wooden boards lying on the floor.

It is difficult and painful to explain the principle of seeing fortunes or the eight trigrams, so just skip it in moderation.

“How did you get out?”

“I didn’t see any particular danger. At least what I’m planning right now seems to be resolved without much risk.”

“..Is that the unit price?”

The Heavenly Demon’s eyes narrowed.

It’s very difficult at times like this.

He asked me to look at it, so he looked at it, and he said, ‘There’s no problem. Is it okay to live like this?’ If you answer, say that’s all.

Of course, there are jjambabs that have survived so far, but they don’t just go over here.

“If you have to send a lot of people somewhere, just send 20 more people then.”

In order to survive in this land of blood and iron without a single weapon, you have to use your mouth well.

Actually, I don’t know what that word means.

Right. Just mouthing

What if you get caught?

Don’t worry. Even if you are in the same industry, you can’t recognize it.

-Gulp

‘Let’s not tremble, let’s not tremble, let’s not tremble, let’s not tremble.’

I was watching the Heavenly Demon’s reaction with bated breath.

No matter how much the opponent is a heavenly horse, he won’t notice this.

If I guide Timan.

“Somewhere… Can you be a little more specific?”

“The more I open my mouth, the more air leaks. I will only say that it is expected to be a place where a lot of blood will be shed. I will give thanks, O Heaven of Protestantism.”

“Hmm..”

The Heavenly Demon tapped his arm with his finger.

I was very nervous inside, but thanks to the cloak that covered my whole body, it wouldn’t have been obvious.

This cloak is no ordinary item either.

It’s a problem because I’m not sure that this will work for the Heavenly Demon.

“Okay. Keep that in mind.”

‘Phew.’

Fortunately, I was deceived well.. No, it seemed that I was persuaded.

“Good work. It must have been difficult coming from far away, but I’ll tell you to prepare a generous reward.”

“Ah, no. It’s okay. I didn’t do much, but if I received a lot, I’ll be punished.”

“What. If you originally received something, you should return something. There is no need to decline.”

..Maybe he’s a better person than I thought.

I’ll have to meet the guys who try to cut the price, saying how difficult it is to see that one point, or the guys who say that it’s for justice, and of course you shouldn’t get paid.

“..It wouldn’t be polite to say too much, so I’ll accept it despite my shame.”

I sincerely thanked him while taking a hug.

To be honest, I had a lot of trouble coming this far, but I was very sleepy inside because I was afraid that they wouldn’t give me anything and drive me out.

“By the way, if it’s okay with you, can I ask you one more favor?”

“..Say anything.”

A customer who gives a lot of money is a king.

The king asks, what can I say?

“She has a hobby of enjoying sake. If she doesn’t mind, she’d like to offer you a drink as well.”

“…You mean alcohol?”

“I heard that you also seem to have a pretty good name in the midfield, isn’t it?”

Alcohol. Of course I like it.

Especially if it’s an expensive drink.

It was one of the few hobbies I could enjoy in this world without the Internet.

‘The Heavenly Demon’s sake…?’

It is a drink recommended by the Heavenly Demon.

There is no such thing as a cheap drink that is usually sold in an inn.

-Gulp

In the past, when I went to the Moorim Maeng, I happened to get a bottle of alcohol that cost hundreds of nyang in gold, but after that, I remember that I couldn’t even drink cheap alcohol sold in inns for a while.

‘Turn it off…’

Become conflicted

I covet alcohol, but I still have thousands of opponents. It was unavoidable that he was worried because he might be dragged into prison if he was caught drinking.

But asking for a drink alone is showing too much of the inside…

“There are so many types of alcohol in our school that you wouldn’t have tasted in Jungwon. Have you ever tried the western region?”

“Western liquor..?”

‘Maybe there’s some wine?’

After coming out to Gangho and getting a taste for alcohol, I tried to find wine, but it wasn’t easy and I gave up.

But there is wine in the Demonic Cult?

“I happened to come across a kite and save it. But after trying it a few times, the elders didn’t seem to like it very much. “

“You are right.”

Just curious about what it tastes like, take it away, eat it, use up all the impressions, and force yourself to swallow it, just tell it to drink water.

It was a word I could really agree with a hundred times.

“You seem to be interested in Western liquor?”

“A long time ago, I got an opportunity and got it from Master. I really liked it, but there was no way I could get liquor from the West..”

“Then it’s just fine.”

By the way, of course, my master never gave me anything like wine.

That person must be a native of Jungwon, so where can I get wine?

I just covered it roughly with the memories I ate in modern times.

“An old saying goes that there is nothing better than alcohol to break down the boundaries between people and get closer.

“It is an honor, O Heaven of Protestantism.”

* * *

“Uh huh, where are you trying to make your own wine? Hurry up and put the bottle down.”

“The taste of the alcohol is so good that I must have done it without knowing it. Please forgive my rudeness.”

“Heh, I’ll forgive you this time, so don’t do that next time.”

My head spins round and round.

I drank a lot.

When it comes to side dishes, there are only a few meatballs, but the taste of the alcohol is so good.

“Puha-!”

“Ohh, you’re quite bold. You still have enough energy to drink it all at once. I know you haven’t mastered martial arts.”

“Hehe, no matter how you look at it, it’s a body that won even a drinking session with a master master.”

“Is the climax a high pitcher?”

“…”

“What, nonsense.”

Gradually, your eyelids feel heavy.

I don’t know anything else, but I was really confident in alcohol, but it was impossible to beat a real Moorim.

It seems that he drank more than twice as much as I did, but instead of getting drunk, it ended with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Seeing that, I deliberately adjusted that and got a little drunk. If you want, you can get rid of that little drunk right away.

“Anyway, your bloody clothes are so amazing. No matter how messed up your posture, you can’t see the face on the inside at all. You’re a freak.”

From my point of view, martial arts and this cloak are the same superpowers, but it seems that this is not the case for people in the middle plains.

They take martial arts and military tactics for granted, but still find these things strange.

“You can think of it as a kind of truth.”

“Hmm.. It’s a truth that even fools the eyes of the original woman..”

“..Please don’t be angry. It was really hard to find.”

“Well, you must have your own vision. I won’t ask.”

“Thank you..”

“By the way, is there any reason why you go to such lengths and hide your true face?”

How many questions are you really asking?

Now is the time to answer while thinking about what kind of answer you gave.

“Your face is ugly.”

“..?”

“They said it looked like fermented soybeans that had fallen from the roof. I’ve even heard that my parents threw it away because it was ugly.”

“..Hmm.”

“Well, isn’t being born like this the meaning given by the Divinity of Heaven and Earth? What’s important is how you look. You eat well, earn well, and live well, so what if this isn’t a life that is not envied by others?”

“It’s quite positive. It must be a bad memory.”

It’s not a lie. I did actually listen.

“Heaven of Protestantism. Fortune tellers like me always live while enjoying the present. You can see the future of others, but you can’t see your own future. Going.”

“Hmm?”

“For example. Let’s say I did fortune-telling for someone at a tavern, and that person avoided drinking the poisoned glass. I jingled at the money I received from the man and smiled happily while preparing my own drink. And I don’t know if the cup is poisonous or not.”

“You can save someone else’s life, but you can’t save your own.”

“That’s right. If you’re conscious of the future, you have to be conscious of death every moment. You have to be mindful that the food you drink is poisoned, and a Murim person walking down the street won’t put that knife in your throat. I’m not sure if he’ll stab me or not.”

“..It’s a pretty tough life.”

“That’s why I live in the present. It may seem foolish to others, but this is how I live. I don’t save money. I don’t know if someone will put a knife in my neck and take my money the next day. And blow it away with gambling.”

“…”

“I was taught by Master, but I am still a person who wants to live a little longer, so I tend to prepare a little.”

“Poo-hyang!”

The Heavenly Demon burst into laughter.

It wasn’t the soft laugh he’d been having for a while, it was a burst of laughter out of sudden laughter.

“Did you enjoy it?”

“Ahaha… Doesn’t it feel cute when you suddenly show your human side while talking about something serious?”

“Then I’m a human or something. Could it be that I’m a monster?”

Heavy talk at a drinking party is not recommended.

It’s a life that’s not enough just to enjoy it, but it’s a heavy story.

I hate that.

* * *

It was around the time when the drinking party was over and it was time to prepare to go home.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to return safely in this physical state, but that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to spend a night at the Demonic School.

Although I became a little friendly with her because of her drunkenness, her fear of the Demonic Cult did not completely disappear.

“Are you going to go soon?”

“Yes. I have another place to be called next time.”

“It’s a pity. I thought I met a good drinking buddy after a long time.”

I was a bit sad too.

It’s not easy to meet a customer who pays a lot of money, drinks and talks with you while drinking together.

“I’m sorry too, so I’ll give you a service.”

“Service..?”

“Ah. It’s like a bonus to ask for another call next time.”

“Ohh. Are you going to do fortune-telling again?”

“It was popular in the midfield. I think the Heaven of the Protestant Church will like it.”

“Aren’t you curious about your fateful opponent?”
