“Now~ Here are the snacks you ordered. It’s been a while since you came to our restaurant, so I gave you some service, so everyone enjoy your meal~”

“Ah, uncle! Thank you!”

Inside a small food stall on the outskirts of the city center.

The owner of the food stall serves snacks.

I guess I know Iria and we exchange eye contact.

‘Is the reverse world an uncle instead of an aunt? Well, I guess restaurant work here is better suited to men.’

Hot liquor soup and oyster bones are served.

And a soju bottle is also set up.

Perhaps because it is night, there are few people on the streets.

There were no customers at the food stall except for us who were occupying the corner seats.

“I never thought there would be a place like this… … .”

“This is my first time in a pocha with such a quiet atmosphere!”

In response to Park Bi-hwa’s remarks at a company dinner, he went out of his way to go to a place with few people.

I wondered what I would do if someone recognized me, but the quiet atmosphere was perfect for a quiet drink. Now that summer is coming to an end, the weather is cool.

“It’s a place I used to come to often. I’m sorry to the boss, but there are almost no people around this time on weekdays.”

Iria moves her lips while handing out spoons. I helped Iria set up the drinking glasses.

“Sister, did you like alcohol?”

“Hmm… It’s not because of alcohol, but sometimes you feel lonely eating alone, right? Every time that happens, I come here and have a drink alone.”

ㅡSqueak… !

Iria explains while tilting the soju bottle.

It’s a place I’ve visited often since I just became S-class.

At first, no one recognized me, so I visited, but whenever I felt lonely and tired working alone, I stopped by for a meal and a drink whenever I thought of my family.

Actually, I’m not good at drinking alcohol.

Everyone is solemn at these remarks.

In particular, Moran was unusually quiet.

It seemed as if he sympathized with Iria’s words.

ㅡGulgulgkul… !

Bubbles rise from the soju bottle, filling Park Bi-hwa and Moran’s glasses. And then a bottle of liquor heading towards me.

“Oh, that’s right.”

Iria, who was continuing her story alone, pauses. And then he put down the bottle… … .

ㅡChi profit!

Open the cap of the soda and fill the glass. The soju glass I was holding was confiscated by Iria.

“Huh? Why me… … ?”

“You are not allowed to drink. I can’t help it because I feel uncomfortable after the hotel incident last time. And the boss may misunderstand you as a minor, so just drink your drinks calmly.”

“Ah, yes… !”

Iria looks at me and smiles.

He then handed me the bottle of alcohol he had put down.

Raising a glass of soju towards me.

Maybe he’s asking me to follow him.

“Hmph! Sihoo oppa loves drinking so much, so why are you controlling him?! Not with mothers, but with grown adults… … !”

“That’s right. It’s the guild’s first dinner, but you’re not excited about it, right?”

By the time I finished filling Iria’s glass,

Park Bi-hwa and Moran grumble at the same time.

As expected, both of them seemed to be targeting me.

“Don’t be funny. Do you think I don’t know their dark intentions?”

So clap your glass! Iria puts down her complaints and silences them. And then he lowered his eyes… … .

“… Shall we just have a drink by ourselves and then go back? If you’re going to talk nonsense, are you going to leave right away with Sihu? There was a motel in the back… … .”

“”… … .””

They are unable to respond to Iria’s remarks. Strangely, it was a reaction as if something was stabbing me. They said nothing happened at the hotel.

“That’s it, let’s all toast.”

Iria laughs and raises her glass. At this, Park Bi-hwa and Moran tremble and raise their glasses. It seemed like he was trying hard to hold back his angry emotions.

In fact, the company dinner was able to take place thanks to Iria’s willing consent.

It was truly an unexpected reaction.

I thought I would vehemently oppose it and go home.

He personally guided them to a street food stall with few people, saying that they were his future colleagues.

“Now, whether we like it or not, we are people who will have to come together in the future, so let’s toast to the idea of doing better in the future.”

ㅡDrurr… !

“… Don’t drink too much like you did at the last hotel.”

Iria stands up holding a glass.

Her expression looked quite happy.

Does it feel like everyone’s relationship has become stronger after going through the battle a week ago?

His attitude towards Park Bi-hwa and Moran had become quite docile. If it were like before, I wouldn’t have said it so easily.

“Tch, don’t act like the guild leader.”

Park Bi-hwa stands up following Iria and frowns her eyebrows. She grunted and raised her glass.

“… Still, if that’s the intent, it’s not bad.”

“Hehe, thank you for knowing.”

“Peony? What are you doing? You don’t wake up either?”

Park Bi-hwa turns his head and gives Moran a look. He told me to wake up quickly.

“Ah-? joy… ! Yeah, that’s right! The reason why they accepted me into the guild even while hiding my identity as a villain… Oh, thank you… … !”

Noticing Park Bi-hwa, Moran reluctantly stands up and holds out a glass. With his head turned like a sulking person.

“You just need to know. Now, Sihu? You should get up too, right? Even though it’s not your cup of tea, you’re still a decent member of ours, right?”

“Yes! That’s how it should be. Please take care of everyone in the future!”

I also got up from my seat at Iria’s words and held out a glass filled with a drink.

And then.

ㅡClick!

We clinked our glasses together and made a toast.

It was a very different atmosphere from the last hotel.

Has it become closer and warmer?

It finally felt like a team.

Of course, on the outside we were still bickering and distancing ourselves, but it seemed like alcohol could solve this subtle sense of distance.

-Snap! Jump up!

Everyone pours out their drinks at once.

While carefully observing each other.

For some reason, it’s like someone wants to get drunk.

“Ha! It’s been a while since soju has been so bitter.”

“You just use something like that? I’m fine, right?”

“What? Park Bi-hwa, are you provoking me now?”

“Everyone stop and get another drink! This time, I’ll follow along-!”

The inside of the food stall becomes noisy as soon as you put down your glass.

They poured drinks as if competing with each other.

It seemed friendly at first glance, but why is there an unknown tension?

*

-Squeak! widely… !

Drinks come and go before my eyes.

We gave each other drinks and drank them down.

It was a scene that had continued since before.

On the other hand, I was still just sipping my drink.

I think everyone drank at least 2 bottles per person.

The atmosphere wasn’t particularly bad.

I’m just anxious because the drinking won’t stop.

“Iria? Since this is a place like this, I’ll speak openly… ! As you know, I really like Sihu, right? I won’t tell you to share it with me! Hiccup-!”

“… … ?”

Park Bi-hwa gets drunk and starts talking drunkenly. She looked at me and Iria alternately and continued speaking.

“Because I know very well that Sihu likes you more! I’ll protect you between you… ! instead! Don’t be too overtly affectionate in front of us! People who see it will go crazy in pain… … .”

As soon as you think the atmosphere is not bad, the conversation takes a slightly strange turn.

Park Bi-hwa, who was drunk, suddenly raised his voice with his face turning red. The voice was already very drunk.

But no matter how drunk you are, was there really this much talk in the first place?

“That’s right! I never thought I would agree with everything Hero says in my life! Both were so bad-!”

On the other hand, the peony looked completely fine.

He just agrees with Park Bi-hwa’s words.

I didn’t really do any injections or anything.

As expected, he was watching Iria’s eyes.

“Fuhuhu, I understand. I will restrain myself.”

“Tap… ! Really? I definitely said that… … ?!”

“But is it a secret story? Can you please stop talking nonsense?”

“Well, what… … ?”

“Strictly speaking, I am one year older than you, but do you sometimes stop talking to me?”

Iria also responded with a red face, probably because she was drunk.

Suddenly, an unusual air current flows.

A tense emotional tug of war ensues.

The alcohol I drank to feel better was acting as a ignition.

Still, Iria didn’t get drunk as easily as last time. I was maintaining my sanity quite well. On the contrary, if Park Bi-hwa was drunk, he would have been drunk… … .

“That’s right! If you think about it that way, I am also a sister to the professor-!”

This time, Moran agrees with Iria’s words.

He read the mood and changed the topic.

He broke down the tension by participating in the 1:1 structure between the two of them.

Moreover, only Park Bi-hwa was 23 years old, and Iria and Moran were 24 years old.

Maybe he actually took Iria’s side because he was dissatisfied.

“What?! Mo, peony? What did you just say… ?! How could you… … .”

“If you’re going to talk so completely, why not have some palm time! Then I will admit it-!”

If it had been Moran, she would have been frightened by Park Bi-hwa’s outburst, but perhaps because she was also intoxicated, she fought back energetically.

“My… Moran, how good I have been to you… ? No way… ! peony? Please follow me for a moment… … !”

“Hmph… ! So you think I’ll be scared? great-! Why don’t you go out and have a drink?”

“You really… ! I’ve been paying a lot of attention to it for a while, but that’s how it came out… … ?!”

Suddenly, sparks fly in the wrong direction, leading to Park Bi-hwa VS Moran.

The two got up from their seats and headed outside.

“Who, older sister? Shouldn’t that be stopped?”

“Hehe, leave it alone~ Everyone fights because they have affection.”

“But… … .”

“By the way, is it Sihu? Shall we get some air too? I’m so hot… … .”

ㅡSparring… !

As soon as the two of us leave, Iria leans on my shoulder. Her light blue hair flows down and tickles my neck.

-Gulp!

Her pale breasts bounce inside her shirt.

Perhaps because he was hot and drunk, his buttons were undone.

Beads of sweat were flowing down between her breasts.

It seemed like there was a real need to cool down.
