26. high heels (2)

“Jjasik, you don’t have to feel pressured. A good store can be recommended by a teacher. Everyone does that.”

“How do you know my store is a good store?”

“Um~~ By feeling?”

“lol.”

Rebecca and Sasha and even me.

It’s been a while since the three of us spent time at the bar we arrived at.

Empty bottles of alcohol were rolling around our table, and Sasha, who was very drunk, was about to pass out from being completely consumed by the alcohol.

Since earlier, he had been smiling blankly with his eyes wide open.

But Rebecca was strong.

I know he drank the most out of the three, but he was drinking sips with his arm resting on my shoulder.

‘When the hell am I going to solve this.’

Thank you so much for putting your arm on my shoulder, but it makes me want to die from the heat.

You wouldn’t know that it wasn’t just because of the heat.

“Can I take this off? It’s hot.”

I told him to lower his arms a little, using the heat as an excuse.

“It’s hot? Why is it hot? Is it hot because you’ve been drinking?”

“Yeah, drinking alcohol is one of the reasons.”

In fact, the biggest reason was that the lower leg, which had been stimulated by the crushing touch against the shoulder from earlier, was reluctantly trying to gain strength.

Part of it was the feel, but part of it was that Rebecca threw away her clothes because it was hot.

Rebecca was wearing only sleeveless now.

‘Other guys are also glancing at me…’

Chest bone exposed.

The slender body with brown skin tightens the hearts of men.

Would the situation be different with me?

I was struggling to keep my eyes from going down.

‘I’m already drinking, but I’m getting in the way…’

I’m human too, so when I’m drunk, I lose my self-control.

However, he has to endure Rebecca’s temptation.

This makes my stomach feel stuffy.

“Huh-huh! How cute.”

The problem was that he was the same height as me, so it wasn’t too uncomfortable to put on his shoulder.

I didn’t want to go down because the arm on my shoulder wasn’t comfortable.

I don’t know if Rebecca is ignoring me even though she knows about my situation, or if she’s doing that because she really doesn’t know.

“Relax a little. Aren’t you hot?”

“No! Isn’t it hot?”

“Don’t lie. You took off your clothes because it was hot. If it’s not hot, put them back on.”

Can’t I just force it out?

How could I be beaten by force?

Maybe it was because there were so many things to take care of here and there, I felt like I was going to have a lump in my throat.

“uncomfortable?”

“I’ve said it many times, but it’s hot.”

“Cheet, I can’t help it. Come on! Now is it?”

“Huh…yes.”

The soft texture of the skin disappears in a flash.

When it was there, I wanted it to be cleaned up quickly because it was difficult, but it is regrettable that it is gone.

I shook my head, shook my useless desire, and poured the alcohol down my throat.

“Ah! Can I drink alone?! Me too!”

cluck cluck-

“Big!”

“Kehyah~”

The alcohol goes in, sweeping hotly down the throat.

He took a deep breath at the rising heat.

“By the way, it seems like we talked too much. How did you end up opening a general store here?”

“Are you suddenly curious about me?”

“Uh. I want to know what kind of guy you are.”

Sasha’s eyes seemed to be filled with twinkling starlight, and Rebecca’s eyes seemed to have a small fire burning brightly.

I opened my mouth while staring at the small fire in her eyes.

“I ran away when I was 16.”

“Oh, it’s interesting from the start.”

“That’s when I thought I could be an Awoken.”

Commoners want to become Awoken.

For commoners who wanted to become nobles, there was no easier way than becoming an Awakener, so it was natural.

“I was tested and they said no. But I had already run away. I didn’t want to go home without accomplishing anything.”

“so?”

“So I became a mercenary. With the intention of making a lot of money.”

Rebecca told me a short story about my life that she was curious about.

The parts that need to be hidden are hidden, and if there are parts that need to be exaggerated, they are mixed with bluffing.

Rebecca knew that too, but she didn’t ruin the atmosphere by telling lies.

“Actually, when I was at the training ground, I thought your skills were pretty good.”

“Did you see me training?”

“Sneak peek? You were the first thing I noticed when I first entered the training ground. Your muscles told you that.”

Rebecca gently touches my chest with her index finger.

“It’s not muscle that you gained from training for a day or two. And in reality, your swordsmanship skills weren’t bad. If you had become an awakened person, you would have become a great person. It’s a pity. If I had fought together with you, I could have accumulated a lot of fun experiences.”

Even though they are the same age, he whispers that if he had become an awakened person, he could have taken classes in the same class.

Surprisingly, her words were a great comfort to me.

“that’s interesting.”

“what?”

“No matter what words of comfort I hear, I have never been truly comforted, but hearing your words suddenly comforted me.”

“That’s such an honor. Huhu.”

I lifted the glass and held it out in front of Rebecca.

Without hesitation, she bumped her glass into mine.

Brilliant!

The glasses collide and a clear sound echoes.

I immediately took a shot of the alcohol in the glass.

“Kuh…! I’m drinking today.”

“Isn’t it? Me too.”

The drink tasted good, so the seat didn’t end.

Sasha had been asleep in the corner a long time ago with her legs stretched out.

“Isn’t it scary? Monsters are very scary to the common people.”

“I’m afraid of monsters. But back then I was more afraid of money than monsters.”

This is the Hyeja product that you must buy unconditionally, but the sadness and fear that you may not be able to purchase it because you do not have money!

My blood ran dry as I watched the opportunity to purchase a special package in real time decrease.

Of course, I couldn’t tell Rebecca all of this.

“So you opened a general store with the money you saved? Since when did you dream of a general store?”

“I planned it from the moment I realized I wasn’t an Awoken.”

“Oh… so precocious. I guess I didn’t think much of it when I was that age.”

There’s no way Rebecca really didn’t give it a second thought when she was 16 or 17.

Even then, Rebecca would have been honing her skills to reclaim the desert.

“The things that are sold at the general store now are the things I got while traveling like that.

“Oh…? So it’s not a general store, but a treasure trove? They say they sell weapons and everything else in the stars.”

“Yeah. That’s the general store itself.”

“Hearing such bragging makes me want to go.”

It was my plan to lead Rebecca to the general store.

But not now.

Rebecca didn’t seem to think so, though.

“Now that this has happened, let’s go! To the general store!”

“No, later. Sober up. Now I can’t because of alcohol.”

“Why are you drunk?”

“Uh. I’m drunk.”

I’m not sure if I can control myself.

And to take her to the general store, it was necessary to prepare in advance.

Prepare to introduce unique equipment.

I had to let him see the high heels naturally and hand them over to him, but if I took him to the general store right away, things could have been complicated.

“Cheet! Then there’s no choice. Are you sure to take me next time?”

“okay.”

“Isn’t that a burden?”

“Why is it a burden to show you around the general store? Let’s get up now. But what does he do?”

“Ah…it’s completely gone. Sasha isn’t good at drinking. I’ll take it with me.”

I know she’s had more alcohol than I do, but Rebecca doesn’t even stumble when she gets up.

Rebecca, who boasts a tall height of 180 cm, casually lifted Sasha, who was much smaller than herself.

“Uhh~ Let’s break up here! Are you okay?”

It was also ridiculous for a commoner to say that he would take them to a nobleman.

“okay.”

“Oh no! When are you coming to the training ground? We have to meet again.”

Exchanging numbers in a place where there are no cell phones is also ridiculous.

At least you had to know where you lived to be an acquaintance.

“I go every day, unless there’s something special going on.”

“Oh! Really? Great. I pretty much live there these days.”

Knowing that, he cut off Sasha’s private training ground, not the nearby private training ground.

“Then see you tomorrow!”

Rebecca greets her cheerfully and disappears with Sasha.

Sasha’s limp legs trembled.

“Whoa.”

I’m out of cigarettes

If you don’t smoke at this time, when will you smoke?

He took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in his mouth.

In fact, I couldn’t move easily because of the alcohol, so I needed some time.

I was able to look at the sky leisurely while smoking a cigarette.

“Whoa, by the way, it’s poisonous. I didn’t expect to walk straight away. Didn’t you drink more than me?”

Well, it doesn’t make sense to suffer from the alcohol of alcohol when you can withstand the miasma of the polluted area.

Sitting alone on the floor and smoking a cigarette makes me feel emotional.

Normally, I wouldn’t have done that, but I suddenly remembered what Rebecca had said.

‘If you had become an awakened person, you would have become a great person. Too bad. If I had fought together with you, I would have been able to gain a lot of fun experiences.’

Maybe Rebecca didn’t care.

However, her words pierced my heart like a frog struck to death by an inadvertently thrown stone.

Most of the mercenaries have admiration and jealousy towards the Awakened.

Aren’t they the ones who live by catching monsters despite not being chosen?

‘The Awakeners catch the monsters we catch with great care as if they don’t even have a place to exercise after dinner.’

Seeing that makes the world go mad.

There were many people who did not feel a sloppy inferiority complex.

I was also in the same situation.

What kind of inferiority is there when you can buy items in the store?

‘If I had nothing, I would long for it. I feel like I can rub it in because there is something, so I feel inferior.’

Of course, now I am not immature enough to be shaken by such low feelings.

It’s not that he’s not so incompetent that he can’t distinguish between public and private because of his inferiority towards the Awakened.

As Rebecca said, among commoners, I was pretty good at wielding a sword.

‘Of course, I can’t say that I didn’t have buffs when I was a mercenary.’

But on the contrary, even if you exaggerate your physical abilities, if your swordsmanship skills aren’t backed up, you won’t be able to use them properly.

When two people received the same buff, it was only natural that the one with better basic swordsmanship would perform better.

Rebecca knew that, so she said something nice.

‘Is this how it feels to have someone recognizing my efforts?’

I don’t know if it was because I was drunk that day, but I couldn’t easily calm my mind, which had been disturbed by Rebecca’s casually thrown stone.

To the extent that when I fall asleep, I dream of that moment again.
