In a clear glass.

One clean, large piece of ice.

2 ounces (60 ml) of strong Ron Diaz on ice

1 oz (30 ml) of almond-flavored amaretto

Finish with a half ounce (15 ml) of refreshing lime juice

“Jisoo, it’s your turn.”

The call of the enemy.

As if responding to that call, Jisoo approached catharsis.

“Yes, I’m going-.”

And when she snapped her fingers… .

A gentle flame rose above the surface of catharsis.

Rating: ★★★☆ (Singularity)

Effect: Will is destroyed by 10 for 1 hour. Instead, Composure is increased by 10.

Information: A catharsis with a high percentage of rum. It is more toxic and hotter than the original. When you drink it, you become dizzy and your willpower decreases. It is a disaster for a woman in her early twenties.

“Okay, if you drink this, I’ll recognize you as an adult.”

Intense red eyes.

The enemy looked down at Sea with those eyes.

However, Sea is originally known as the crazy dog of the academy.

Now that she was an adult, she had nothing to fear.

“Okay, if I win, you can touch Siho unnie as much as you want?”

“???”

Her words made the area under my eyes tremble.

“What is he saying now?!”

I hurriedly approached her to stop her.

But, at that moment.

Sea seized the catharsis as if it were a gift.

And then he starts pouring it all into his mouth like he’s drinking cola.

“Se, Seya, don’t drink it like that! If you drink it like that… !”

The liquor that was overflowing from the glass flowed down the throat of the girl who had just become an adult.

Soon, when all the glasses were empty… .

“Kehhhh!!”

Sea started coughing from the hot alcohol.

A cough so realistic that it doesn’t feel like a girl’s cough.

“Did it… .”

Soon her face turned bright red and she began to breathe heavily.

And then he raised his head and stared at me.

“Sister… I did it.”

She has alcohol flowing out of her mouth.

Messy hair.

And even the unfocused eyes.

The girl looked at me and giggled.

“Can I touch it now…?”

Soon she raised both arms like a zombie.

And then he staggers towards me slowly.

but….

“… .”

Sea eventually collapsed into my arms.

And then it starts flowing down like a 9th grade monster slime.

“Yeah… yeah. Feel free to touch it.”

I patted Sea, who buried her face in my chest.

However, she had already lost consciousness for a long time.

She fell asleep in my arms, giggling.

He carefully laid the fallen Sea down on the empty table.

Not having any guests helps in times like this.

After that, I looked at the enemy.

Very carefully.

The enemy turns his head away from the sharp gaze.

“The glass is dirty.”

She took out the glass she had just cleaned and pretended to clean it again.

He approached her with a smile.

And he reassured me very coldly.

“What if I feed my kid 2 ounces of Ron Diaz?”

The enemy who had always seen me lose.

She was taken aback when she saw me serious for the first time.

“Why, what. You gave catharsis to Jaei too!”

“That’s why I did it back then because you said you’d kill me if I didn’t give it to you!”

I grabbed the ball of a ranker from Ilsim.

And then he shook it like a pinch.

Now she’s just my employee.

“When you wake up, apologize and change to red eye!”

“I know… .”

The ranker nodded with a smile.

“Hoo… .”

Still, the enemy’s actions were not all that bad.

Because Sea passed out, I had some breathing room.

After that, I also joined the bar.

The enemy gave Ha-yoon a blue sky.

I gave Sehee the Kahlua milk one by one.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere got heated up.

The children created a friendly scene as they talked to Jisoo, who they were meeting for the first time.

“What do you think? Are you good at making blue sky too, Sister?”

“Ah… Yes, it’s delicious. But should I stop drinking now? I’m dizzy… C’mon!”

A big-handed enemy.

Ha-yoon also got drunk on her cocktail offensive.

When she sneezes, her wolf ears perk up and she begins to snicker.

The enemy fiddled with his ears, seeming interested in the familiar sight.

Jisoo and Sehee, who were watching from the side, also enjoyed the sight of the drunken twenty-year-old female students giggling.

Thanks to this, the cocktail bar is filled with laughter.

I watched the scene with pleasure.

Then he slowly backed away and went out of the building for a while.

“Hoo… .”

The night sky has suddenly become dark.

The voices of people can be heard faintly from afar.

It’s been five years since the monster incident.

Sindorim has regained some semblance of peace.

People began to roam the streets again.

Most of the evildoers who killed people out of ignorance followed Park Shin-ae and perished together.

Thanks to that, I can also go for a night walk like this.

I took a deep breath of fresh air.

And I admired the stars in the night sky.

There is nothing in particular I have done in this world.

I was just struggling to survive by drinking.

Because that was all I could do with this body that I thought was incompetent.

However, my thoughts changed after meeting the rankers and precious connections.

There was more I could do than I thought.

I always thought I was an unhappy person.

Because wherever I went, I was always plagued by misfortune and was incompetent.

But thanks to that, I was able to come this far in the end.

Thinking about it like that brings a smile to my face.

“Precious relationships.”

I must live harder for them.

With that thought in mind, I decided to go back to the store.

The moment I was about to turn the doorknob.

“—.”

I stopped dead in my tracks at the faint sound I could hear from afar.

Because a strange discomfort came over my whole body.

Is it because we’ve been enjoying peace lately?

I swallowed deeply at the strange feeling I had after a long time.

And then I slowly turned my head to see who had come to see me.

“Hat… ?”

A woman standing at a distance.

No, judging by his short stature, he looks more like a girl.

The child was looking at me intently with his hat pulled down low.

“Who are you?”

I slowly approached the child.

Soon I could see that her hair was blonde.

Long, golden hair that stretches out beautifully.

And even the small stature.

“Could it be Misha…?”

The girl hesitated even more at my question.

He starts to back away as if trying to keep his distance from me.

“Isn’t that Misha?”

The girl stopped dead in her tracks at the direct question.

And he covered his mouth with his fist and hesitated about how to answer.

“It’s me, Siho. A bartender who worked at the lab.”

I walked over to her and knelt down.

Thanks to this, I was able to see the face of the young Western girl that had been hidden by the hat.

“Sister… .”

A sad expression.

She looked at me and smiled bitterly.

“Why are you running away?”

“Well… I don’t have the face to see my sister.”

Misha pulled his hat down even tighter.

I got closer to her like that.

“What do you mean, you have no face?”

At that question, Misha hid both hands behind her back.

And he twisted his body and muttered.

“You may not remember, but… When my sister was kidnapped, she did a lot of things.”

“I know.”

I answered her gloomy words firmly.

Then Misha’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Did you know?”

“Yeah, you even said you wanted to keep me like a pet to save me, and you even hid the last drop of Angelic Hand.”

Park Shin-ae died.

When my powers returned to my body.

I started to remember everything Misha did.

Thanks to that, I was able to roughly understand what she did.

“But, still… In the end, I was the one who put my sister in danger.”

Misha’s blue eyes sparkle.

Soon she lowered her head and began to mumble.

“Because of me, you turned into a fox, and almost lost your intelligence… It’s all my fault… . You must have been scared… .”

He hugged the blaming girl tightly.

And let him rest his face on my shoulder.

“No, you were probably more scared than me.”

At those words, Misha stopped talking.

“You had to force people to do things they didn’t want to do, and threaten people they liked.”

A word said indifferently.

Could it be because of that one word?

Misha’s body began to shake.

My shoulder, which was pressed against my face, became damp.

“Sister is a really bad person… . If this continues, what will become of me?”

A crying girl.

Soon her voice became so shrill it was difficult to hear.

“I’m telling you to get angry… .”

He patted the girl’s back silently.

“I’m grateful to you instead. Thank you for protecting me until now.”

I thanked Misha.

Then the girl cried loudly, as if pouring out all the fear and guilt that had built up inside her.

“Come on in while you’re here. I’ll make you a warm drink.”

He handed a handkerchief to the girl who was covered in tears and snot.

Then Misha shook his head.

“No, I just stopped by today… before I left.”

“You’re leaving? Where are you going all of a sudden?”

Misha smiled sadly at my question.

And it points north.

“Russia, my hometown.”

“Does anyone know?”

As far as I know, Misha also grew up in a facility.

There’s no way a girl like that could have a hometown…

“No, but there are too many unforgiven people to live here.”

“The unforgiven?”

When I asked back, Misha smiled bitterly.

“Yes, actually, Anna told me to leave here. She told me not to approach her sister again… .”

“I see… .”

Anna could say that.

From her perspective, not knowing the inside story, Misha was just an enemy.

I grabbed the girl’s shoulder.

And he says with a serious look in his eyes.

“It’s okay.”

“Are you okay…?”

I nodded to Misha’s question.

“If I explain, everyone will understand.”

“But, but… .”

Misha hesitates.

I grabbed her arm and confidently headed towards the moment.

“Don’t worry, if Anna gets angry, I’ll scold her.”

I heard that you guys are working out hard these days.

Of course, I’m a bit dissatisfied that the enemy only makes me do things like squats instead of self-defense.

“Oh, I got it. Just go slower!”

Misha was dragged to the moment by me in a hurry.
