Chapter 169 – [Raccoon Man Beginning]

When I entered the restaurant, which seemed moderately good, I was greeted by a warm, savory smell. Inside the store, there were people who seemed to have come in groups, and there were also people who wanted to come alone and have a decent meal.

The age and gender of the customers seated are also different, but it is not so sophisticated for young women to visit. I don’t care about Shion or me, so it won’t be awkward for me to come in.

“I’m like this too, but when I come here, I come with the kids from the same facility. I don’t know if it’s a man alone, but it’s a bit like a woman coming here by herself, right?”

“It’s similar to when a man goes to a pasta restaurant alone and can’t eat.”

It’s a picture problem. At a soup restaurant, a man cooks and eats alone. A woman eating pasta alone at a pasta house. To be honest, those two are naturally drawn in my head. In short, I would say it is similar to a stereotype.

Maybe you don’t know These days, there are a lot of people who eat alone, so there may be people who eat alone in such places.

I like to eat with a group of people, so I rarely eat alone. Even when I was at the facility, I tried to eat with at least two people.

Ah, reminds me of the facility again. I haven’t been in touch since I was discharged, but I wonder if the other kids there are doing well. The kids my age would be self-reliant, but the younger ones would still be there. Will the bad-tempered director remain the same?

He had a bad personality…But he didn’t use violence. Although he was criticized a lot for being a mistress and having a bad personality, at least he didn’t cross the line. Not crossing the line means that there is room for rehabilitation, but… Well, let’s go see it later.

“Welcome. Are you three?”

“Yes, three people.”

“Sit over here”

I took a seat and perused the menu board. The basic menu is sundaeguk, but in addition to that, there was bone hangover soup, boiled meat, and sliced ​​meat unique to a soup restaurant.

It’s a chain store, so you can’t expect exceptional taste, but it’s not bad for a regular hit. Hey, but 6,000 won per bowl is, of course, good value for money. It’s hard to find a store like this in the world these days.

“I’ll make the sundae soup special”

“Ah, me too.”

“Then I’m a bone hangover soup”

“No, there’s bone hangover soup?!”

“How about it. I’ll give you a bite of the meat.”

“That’s it”

“You won’t feel full after just eating one soup, so let’s order something else. Do you want a large one?”

“Let’s make slice meat too”

“Does kids these days eat sliced ​​meat…”

“I’m fine”

“Then, the cut meat is big? Hmm, and it’s not good to eat it as it is, so should I order a couple of bottles of soju?”

“Shouldn’t you be driving? Drunk driving is a big deal.”

“I won’t get drunk even if I drink it anyway”

Compared to normal people, me and Xion’s metabolism is so different, so how can you get drunk just by drinking that? If you don’t deliberately control it, you won’t get drunk even if you blow vodka into a bottle.

So it’s a bit annoying when you want to drink comfortably. That’s why alcohol for transcendentalists is expensive.

It’s only soju, but it’s not even good for accompaniment. However, if you drink it with water, it will be a bit bland. It doesn’t go well with drinks either. My mouth feels dry when I drink a sweet drink while eating soup.

In the end, all that was left was soju. Soju with rice soup. That’s a good combination.

“Here’s your order.”

“Yes, what would you like?”

“As a special treat, give me two soups and bone hangover soup, one for both cold meat and beef meat. And two bottles of soju. Chamisul red one. Just give me two glasses.”

“Yes, I understand”

There were about two employees working in the hall, but one was a young man who seemed to be the president. He is in his 30s at most. The other is an old lady. Two more people were working in the kitchen.

As night fell, the weather outside was so cool that it felt a bit chilly, and then I realized that winter was coming and that it hadn’t been a year since I met Xion in this life.

I mean, time really flies. Even if you want to go slow, it goes fast again after passing by. I’ve been through thousands of years of reincarnation, but when I think about it now, it doesn’t seem that long.

It’s like military life. If anyone agrees, it’s a military pencil.

“Ah, this…We went to the cave today and the stage election video was posted on Instagram.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yes, I came out while searching for Raccoon Man, but I got fired and only the lady…”

“That’s the beauty difference.”

“I’m not lacking in looks either! It’s because the lady is so pretty!”

After Shion registered as a Force user to move around in his growth form, he decided not to process photos or videos separately. If that happened, I’d get a lot of attention… No, even now, I’m attracted enough, so it wouldn’t be strange if they found out that I was Raccoon Man, but it’s still better than blatantly hiding it.

Maybe that’s why it seems to come up often on places like Instagram and Facebook. In this day and age, it’s pretty amazing to see that it hasn’t been stolen.

“That part is because I already took care of it.”

“Did you?”

“If personal information is stolen, there will definitely be people who go beyond the limits. Even a stalker is enough to see someone twisting his or her limbs to death.”

“But”

“Didn’t the scary words just pass by?!”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry”

Shion often gets a stalker because of his appearance. However, he is reluctant to directly touch anyone, no matter how evil his character is. He cannot recklessly attack even stalkers who have trespassed illegally with nefarious intentions.

That’s why I have Because I’m the best at working hard and killing people. Besides, he usually comes after seeing the default form, Shion, so he’s a pervert who feels something sexual about children. There are quite a few such guys.

There are some Jojin without Shion’s knowledge, but there is one Chojin in front of Shion. That bastard’s purpose was rape, so even I, who wouldn’t kill in front of Zion, got mad and twisted his limbs and let it go before I killed him.

There are dog-like puppies in the world who lay their hands on the owner. God-Ruri-Ruri handles NTR insects in its own way, but there are too many of them.

“I got what you ordered”

“Huh? I didn’t order meat separately.”

“It’s service, service. Then enjoy your meal.”

The boss is also a man, so he put down the dishes he ordered on the table with a smile as he looked at Shion and Yejin. In addition to what we ordered, there is one more collection of accessory meat that goes into sundaeguk.

I heard that a beautiful woman sees benefits no matter what she does… When I am reincarnated as a woman, she is often treated like that, but at that time it was because of her figure rather than her looks.

Anyway, free is good. Even if he hates the repairs made to Shion, it is welcome if he is like this. It’s because it’s pure goodwill rather than black heart.

Me, Shion, and Yejin ate well, so I didn’t have to worry about others. Rather, I’m just worried that it’s a little lacking.

I opened the soju bottle, opened the lid, and poured it into the glass. Soju, which is poured with the feeling of going round and round, has its own unique alcohol scent.

“Me?”

“I don’t know at home, but it’s outside. Drink some water.”

Even at our chicken restaurant, there was a fight with the goppiris the other day because they didn’t sell alcohol to minors. Let’s not be a nuisance.

Shion and I lightly toasted. One shot at a time without stopping in the middle. You can feel the bitter taste unique to soju and the faint sweetness hidden in it. And with the smell of alcohol coming up as if it were poking your nose.

“Keueueu, the soup visual is killing me”

“On the surface, bone hangover soup is the best”

“Honestly, rice soup is good value for money, but considering health, it’s a bad menu.”

Shion and Yejin each put in a dadaegi according to their taste. Shion had enough, and Yejin added just the right amount, perhaps because she likes a clean taste.

I dusted off a little bit of perilla seed powder on top of the bone hangover soup and picked up the bone underneath it. It contained about two lumps of fleshy bones the size of my fist. If you remove the flesh, you won’t be able to eat much, but even so, the amount of meat attached is considerable.

In places like this, if you’re unlucky, there are times when you run out of meat while boiling, and you end up pulling out a piece that doesn’t have much to eat. No, I usually skip that one and give it something else.

“First of all, eat one and apply only the flesh on the other, so we should eat it together when we eat rice.”

“As expected, my husband knows the taste.”

“Isn’t that what everyone usually eats?”

When I tore off a thick piece of flesh with my chopsticks, it came apart smoothly. Take a bite and feel the light and savory taste. Oh, the bone hangover soup tastes like this!!

I called for alcohol, so I poured another glass of soju and drank it all the way. And repeatedly tear the meat.

“If you knew it would be like this, you would have made it with Gamjatang”

“Isn’t that different?”

“Originally, when it comes in one serving, it’s bone hangover soup, and when it comes in multiple servings, it’s Gamjatang.”

“Ah, first I knew”

I cut the meat into large pieces and put it on a plate in front of me so that Shion and Yejin could taste each one. It’s a special size of sundaeguk that two people eat, but when you look around, it looks like the amount is a little different than what other people eat.

It’s not less, it’s a lot. No, boss, if you do business like this, you will be ruined. I know the two of them are pretty, but what if they give you a service like this?

“Ah, it’s delicious. Bone hangover soup is delicious, but sundae soup is also delicious.”

“Are you starting with the meat that comes with it?”

“I’m going to eat half and eat half when I eat rice.”

Sundaeguk contains a lot of various side meats. Depending on the store, what they put in is different, but it seems to have been put in pretty faithfully.

It’s ironic that there aren’t a few sundaes, but it’s sundaeguk.

I ate well for a while, and then I remembered about boiled pork and sliced ​​pork. Even though the fat part is still attached to the meat, the steamed meat still has a light taste.

Put a couple of pieces on a plate in front of you, put salted shrimp on top and eat. The lightness and saltiness harmonize, and the savory taste of the fat continues as you chew. The salty taste beyond saltiness of salted shrimp is controlled by the savory taste of the fat part, and the greasy taste of the fat is controlled by salted shrimp, forming a mutually beneficial relationship.

Oh, yummy. I don’t drink soju either.

I drank some alcohol and ate the ingredients, so it was time to roll up the rice. Scoop out the rice in the bowl with a spoon, throw it into the earthen pot, and stir. I also put the meat that I had previously brushed into it and mix well.

I was a little worried because there wasn’t much broth after removing the bones, but it was okay. When you eat it with a spoonful of shiregi along with the meat, you get a sharp feeling and the savory taste of perilla sesame powder.

“As expected, people should eat soup and rice.”

“Isn’t there a story like that?

“It was said to be rice at the restaurant, but to be honest, both are correct.”

Strictly speaking, the staple food of Koreans is rice, but you cannot eat only rice. Conversely, if you only eat soup, it will be salty again. In the end, you have to eat both rice and soup.

But to be honest, I can finish a meal with just rice and soup. If you keep arguing with the owner of the table like that, honestly, shouldn’t you add kimchi? There are times when I do, but I feel empty without it.

I thought I would run out of soju, so I ordered another bottle of soju, and I was eating fried pork with a crunchy texture and salted shrimp or kimchi, depending on my taste. A shout came from behind us, from the seat behind us.

“Huh! These cubs.

It is a voice that leaks a lot. It was a voice that I wouldn’t have been able to understand what he was saying if it weren’t for the seat right behind us.

I turned around and saw a young man who had ordered a bowl of sundaegukbap by himself and was eating.

At least it wasn’t sundaeguk or special, and it was just a small one, but there were about two empty bottles of makgeolli on the table. Even if the alcohol content is lower than soju, if you drank two bottles, you would have been somewhat drunk unless the amount of alcohol was very strong.

Shion glanced at the person and frowned slightly. It’s meaningless because it’s at a level that no one else can recognize except me, but usually people who have such a reaction to Shion have no manners.

“Leave it alone, this isn’t our store, it’s the truth that the store people have to deal with.”

“Still, when I see people like that, I don’t understand. People with a lot of money and power do that because that’s what they are, but I wonder if people who do that in everyday life have some sort of mental illness.”

“You know there are a lot of people like that.”

“…Still, I can’t get used to it.”

The man sitting in the back seat continued to scream and curse.

Most of the time, it was something like self-talk or lamentation about one’s personal life. Most of them were so full of mumbling that even up close you couldn’t understand them.

“These cubs.

“Guest, please be quiet. You’re disturbing other people’s meals!”

“Ah, yes yes. I will be quiet. Yes yes”

The boss who was worse than that came out and stopped me, but that was only then. He replied casually, and when the president left, he shouted again as if he had never done that before.

I can just put up with my loud voice, but swearing at each other makes me feel bad.

However, it’s best to just ignore the nuisance in public places. Interfering in it will only cause trouble. There is no need to ruin the good mood by using dumping.

“이 개 썅놈의 새끼들아!!”

“Guest! Just one more time and I’ll call the cops!!!”

“Call the police! Call the police!!!”

The people inside the store were watching the argument between the boss and the sullen old man with half annoyed eyes and half watching a fight.

Shion and I responded with complete disregard. I pretended not to be interested and just ate quietly. That side is best.

However, it seems that Yejin was not. Ye-jin looked at the guy who was arguing with the boss, and their eyes met.

“What are you looking at, bitch!”

“…………”

It was a word that was clearly targeted and spit out. The target was Ye-jin, who met his gaze.

Even if it wasn’t Shion, I accepted Yejin as a family member, so I had plenty of reasons to be angry. It is a natural thing to bear with the troubles that will happen in the future.

The hot soup and alcohol cooled my warm body.
