02 Is the job name true?

“Hiyaaa~”

 

 

She winks and raises her beer glass high.

Letting out an exclamation of awe, she looks like a typical boozer.

 

 

 

Though it’s lunchtime, our meal, which started as a half-party, hasn’t ended even after several hours.

First, we went to a pizza place, then to a cafe for coffee and shaved ice, and now, as it’s evening, we’re at a grilled tripe restaurant for the third round.

 

“Noona, aren’t you drinking too much?”

“Euung? What are you talking about! I can still drink more, you know.”

“We have to hunt tomorrow, too.”

 

For the record, I haven’t had many drinks. It tastes like crap.

 

 

“Ah, don’t worry about that. I’m taking a day off tomorrow.”

 

 

Yuna-ssi answers with a flushed face.

Then, she raises her glass full of beer with a *jjaang*.

 

 

“So drink up!!”

“Waaa!”

 

 

….

This person is also very drunk. Where did that elegant, sharp, and cold expression go?

 

 

 

“Eyy! You drink too, drink!”

“Ah… I don’t drink-.”

“You don’t refuse when an adult gives you something.”

 

Huh? We’re only seven years apart, you know?

 

“That’s enough to be an adult and a kid! When I was twenty, you were in elementary school, you punk!”

 

Ah… okay….

 

Sora-noona fills my glass with beer and puts her arm around my shoulder, pulling me close.

 

 

“Uuung~ My little brother, Noona will feed you~”

“I’d rather drink it myself.”

“Drink it all down, all the waaaay~!”

 

 

What a mess….

 

 

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I want to go to Master’s house~”

“My house?”

“Yep!”

“Huum…”

 

 

Near the end.

Sora-noona suddenly said that.

 

Yuna-ssi doesn’t seem to dislike the idea and is contemplating.

 

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Yay! Fourth round!”

 

After eating and drinking so much, they’re still eating… these people are truly amazing.

 

“Hehe. You’re coming too, right?”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yeah. Our pervert. You have to go when beauties are going.”

“Who’s the pervert? It’s just my job.”

“Hmph… I told you. Hidden jobs are assigned according to your inclinations.”

 

That’s certainly true, but! And it’s also true that I’m attracted to them! But I haven’t done anything yet!

 

 

“So~ what are you going to do? You don’t want to~?”

 

Sora-noona pokes my cheek.

 

 

“I… it’s not that I don’t want to….”

“Uhehehehe! See? You like it, right? You want to enjoy paradise among beauties.”

“…You’re really drunk, aren’t you? Should you just sleep?”

“Even if I sleep, I’ll sleep at Yuna’s house.”

“Go back and sleep at your place.”

 

 

Yuna-ssi coldly draws a line even in this situation.

 

 

 

Anyway, for that reason, we decided to have the fourth round at Yuna-ssi’s house.

Something about this development is strange.

 

 

 

“Ah… I’m just going… hic… home… heueuk…”

After paying the bill and coming outside, Hana-ssi and Chae-a-ssi left.

They said they would rest at home.

 

 

So, what’s left is Sora-noona, Yuna-ssi, and me.

 

 

“…But does this *Han-nam* really have to come?”

“Whyyy? My little brother is cute.”

“Hmm… well, I don’t mind.”

 

 

An unwelcome expression.

Well, her favorability was 11… at that level, it was almost like she considered me an enemy.

 

 

But.

In that case, it’s only right that I go!

 

 

“I’ll go for the sake of my drunk Noona.”

“Tch.”

She clicks her tongue slightly and takes the lead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We bought alcohol and snacks (a lot!) from a nearby convenience store and arrived at Yuna-ssi’s house.

As expected, since she hadn’t settled down here, it was like a rented room she had temporarily borrowed.

 

It was a two-room apartment, but it wasn’t very big.

 

 

“As you can see, there’s no space to sleep, so don’t even think about staying over. Especially you, *Han-nam*.”

“Of course not.”

 

 

Has she sobered up a bit?

Her original cold expression has returned a little.

 

 

“Hey! Should we order chicken too?”

“Aren’t you full?”

“Not today. Hehe.”

 

 

Indeed… is this the power of money?

 

 

 

I heard that Sora-noona looted about 15,000 dollars in cash and miscellaneous items. And that’s not including the newly acquired robe. She says that she could sell just that robe for tens of thousands of dollars.

 

 

But then, wouldn’t it be better to just sell that and use it for wedding funds? Why is she so determined to continue being an adventurer?

 

 

 

“There are only three of us, but shouldn’t we have fun while we’re eating? Let’s play the King Game!”

“…What kind of King Game is that with just three people?”

 

I lightly retorted, but Sora-noona smiled slyly.

 

 

“Hehe. That’s what makes it fun. Since there are only three of us, the person who has to do the penalty is obvious, right? Hehe.”

 

What, what… is this person planning to make me do??

 

 

“And! This isn’t an ordinary King Game!”

 

She pulls out a wad of bills from her wallet with a *jja-ran*!

 

 

“In order to avoid the penalty, you have to drink alcohol, of course, and even offer money!”

“That’s gambling. I don’t want to do it.”

“Eeeeek!”

 

Sora-noona becomes dejected at Yuna-ssi’s clean refusal.

 

 

“Whyyy~”

“From the start, a, a King Game. What kind of shameless… besides, the worst pervert, *Han-nam*, is here?? *Han-nam* is here???”

 

You don’t have to say it twice.

 

 

“Uheung… that’s why we’re doing it. How innocent.”

“I’m not innocent.”

“Then what are you? Are you not confident?”

“It’s not about confidence or anything… it’s just a pure game of luck.”

“Then it’s advantageous for Yuna. Since her luck stat is high.”

“….”

“Aing~! Let’s just try it once! I want to try it!”

“….”

 

 

Yuna-ssi glares at me intensely.

But she’s secretly weak to Sora-noona, this person.

 

 

“Huu… well, fine. But don’t bet too much.”

“Of course! We’re just doing it to have fun.”

 

Noona excitedly wrote something on wooden chopsticks she brought from somewhere and shook them in a container.

 

 

“Ah, but I’ve never played the King Game before… what’s the level of the penalty?”

“That’s naturally….”

 

 

Noona gave an incredibly sly smile.

It was enough to give me goosebumps. Yuna-ssi also let out a short groan with a *hik*.

 

 

“Unlimited!”

 

*Taang*!

 

 

She shouted and put the container on the floor.

And at the same time, she drew a stick.

 

 

“I’m first!”

“I’m next.”

“….”

 

 

The sticks ran out in an instant. There’s only one left.

 

 

No, from the start, what is this King Game with just three people? Did we drink too much alcohol?

 

 

 

“Yahoo! I’m the King!”

“….”

 

 

Sora-noona cheers and holds up the stick. On the other hand, Yuna-ssi has a constipated expression. She’s already staring intently at the alcohol, thinking about performing the penalty.

 

 

“Okay then~”

 

 

She starts pouring alcohol into a large washbasin.

Uh-oh… wait a minute. Isn’t that too much?

 

 

“S, stop!”

 

Yuna-ssi also shouts urgently, thinking the same thing.

 

 

“Hmm~ well, should we just do this much for the first time?”

 

That’s still a lot! Honestly, that’s the amount of two 1.5-liter bottles of cola!

 

“And this time’s penalty fee is~ okay. 100 dollars!”

“Expensive!”

“Heh. If you don’t want to pay, just follow the order.”

“Keuek….”

 

 

She’s a demon….

 

 

“Okay, then I’ll give the order~.”

 

Noona opened her mouth while holding the stick.

 

 

*Gulp*.

 

 

I and Yuna-ssi’s sounds of swallowing could be heard.

 

 

“You two, kiss!”

 

 

*Glug glug glug*.

 

 

As soon as her words were spoken, Yuna-ssi picked up the washbasin and started drinking.

 

 

Wow… she’s drinking all of that….

 

 

“Keuek… the, the rest… you… keuheuk….”

 

 

She drank almost half of it.

But there’s still a lot left… are we going to die from drinking this?

 

 

Ugh… I don’t like the taste of alcohol….

 

 

Anyway, I started drinking too.

It would be nice to kiss, but Yuna-ssi has already drunk it….

 

 

 

*Gulp gulp*.

 

 

As the bad-tasting alcohol went down, my complexion gradually worsened.

 

 

“Huk… eugh….”

 

 

I ate it all… but I don’t want to eat it again….”

 

 

“Hehehe. Then 200 dollars get~!”

“…Demon.”

“Okay, should we end it now? We agreed to do it just once-.”

 

*Tang*!

 

As Sora-noona was trying to slip away, Yuna-ssi picked up the stick and shoved it into the container.

 

 

“Let’s try it, shall we?”

 

Her face is very red.

Wow. Like a tomato.

 

 

“Heueung~”

 

 

Sora-noona supported her huge breasts with her arms and smiled slightly.

 

 

“Okay. Let’s keep going!”

 

Noona mixed the container and put it down, and this time, Yuna-ssi picked up the stick first.

Then me, and finally Sora-noona.

 

 

I wonder. Did I become the King this time?

 

 

After checking… oh! I’m the King! I’m the King!

 

 

“I’m the Kin-.”

 

 

*Chwaaaaa -* !

 

 

At that moment, as I was happily shouting, a strong light suddenly burst out from the stick I was holding, specifically from the part where the Chinese character for ‘King’ (王) was written.

 

 

“Wh, what…?”

 

*Sagagak*

 

 

The light is… carving into the letters…?

 

 

It’s exactly as it sounds. Right now, the light is erasing the Chinese character for King and carving new characters. What is this???

 

 

 

 

皇

帝

 

 

 

 

Uh… these characters are…?

 

 

*Tting*!

 

 

[Special mini-game. ‘Emperor Game’ has started. Participant is Crown Prince, Yu-eun-nim. And two other people.]

 

 

 

 

….

 

 

This… what is this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+++

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A man neatly dressed in a suit.

As he got out of the car, people nearby glanced at him.

 

 

He was not only handsome, but also had a tall and slender figure, and above all, his car was a sports car.

 

 

“To think she was working as an adventurer… no matter how much she needed money….”

 

 

He bit his lip tightly and headed somewhere.

 

 

“Father told her to earn money… it’s just a test! She didn’t have to go this far…!”

 

 

A kind of anger.

But it’s anger caused by worry.

 

 

“Huu…”

 

 

Looking at the smartphone map, he visited the Hannam-dong Dungeon Dormitory and made a phone call to someone.

The name that appeared on the screen was Yu Sora.

 

He was the son of a mid-sized company president and Sora’s fiancé.
