Chapter 49

Episode 49 If you don’t give permission, even your pants.

The first person to arrive at the Pungryu Bar was Demon Lord Jangho.

The large size and scars on the face overwhelmed everyone in the bar. I couldn’t hear a single breath from the guests until Jangho crossed the first floor and came up to the second floor, and when he joined us, time finally stopped.

“How have you been, Mr. Lee?”

“I’m doing well. “I don’t know if they called someone who was busy for no reason.”

“I would have been very disappointed if you hadn’t invited me here.”

“Of course I should call you. It’s my first drinking party with all my people. Now, take a drink from me first.”

I poured Jangho a full drink.

“thank you.”

Seo Dae-ryong and Jang Ho also exchanged greetings. We knew each other because of the last letter incident. As Jang-ho sat next to the already small Seo Dae-ryong, he looked three times bigger.

After drinking a glass of wine, I asked Jangho.

“You’ve been very busy, right?”

“I was busy at the beginning of my tenure, but things are getting better now.”

“If you have any problems or concerns, please come to me at any time.”

“sure. “I will come to you first.”

Jangho was always dependable. Contrary to his appearance, he is an emotional and delicate person who values human relationships.

When Jang-ho came, the speed of drinking increased. Jangho was as good a drinker as he was big.

While drinking, Seo Dae-ryong secretly glanced at Jang Ho. It wasn’t a glance, but a look filled with envy.

“Are you jealous?”

When I hit the nail on the head, Seo Dae-ryong was startled.

“What?”

“Do you envy Lord Jang?”

Seo Dae-ryong took advantage of his intoxication to answer honestly.

“Yes, honestly, I’m jealous. At one time, I also wanted to be like the monarch. Even though I failed.”

“It’s not too late yet.”

“You said it before. He said he was disappointed because I lamented that it was already too late. But what if it’s late? “I’m already thirty-two years old.”

“But it’s not too late.”

Seo Dae-ryong, who was about to get angry for a moment, drank the drink in front of him. If it had been any other person, I would have yelled at him not to talk so easily about other people’s business.

I swallowed my anger with alcohol, but Seo Dae-ryong was refreshed.

“Isn’t it really too late?”

I knew he was asking sincerely, so I answered sincerely.

“It’s too late.”

“Oh, that’s right then.”

Seo Dae-ryong was disappointed. I guess I was wondering if it was really too late.

“On the contrary, there are good things about it.”

“What is that?”

“I will try harder. “Even if you throw your sword once, you will do so with more force than others, and even if you take a single step, you will have deeper concerns than others.”

“Even so, isn’t it true that we can’t catch up in the end?”

“I can catch up. Ah, here comes a good example. “The embodiment of denial of reality!”

Seo Dae-ryong and Jang-ho followed my gaze and looked towards the first floor. Ian, a large man, was hurried up to our seats on this floor, attracting everyone’s attention.

“The person who walked that path one step ahead of you, the person who makes a living at the training center these days, and yet such a bright person comes over there.”

When Ian arrived, he first apologized.

“Oh, I’m really sorry. Take a shower. “I was late because I had to change into my uniform.”

“I’m just drinking, so what’s the rush?”

“We have to hurry, this is an event with precious people.”

Ian greeted the two people.

“Hello, Lord Jang. Inspector Seo.”

The two people stared at her as she greeted them brightly. Ian apologized again, wondering if it was because he was late.

“I’m sorry, I’m late, right?”

The reason Seo Dae-ryong stared at her was because she said she was an example, but Jang Ho did it for a different reason. Jangho spoke to her politely.

“Something has changed, Ian.”

“Me?”

“yes. “It feels different somehow.”

The eyes of the monarch leading the demon army were certainly unusual.

Jangho also nodded as if he acknowledged it.

Seo Dae-ryong emptied his drink again as if he was in a good mood. He, who usually does not drink much, was drinking excessively.

“But as you know, I worked as an investigator for ten years. I stayed up a lot of nights to become a special investigator. I feel bad about throwing it all away...”

“Why did you quit being an investigator?”

“yes?”

“There’s no need to quit. Why should you quit when you are the person most needed in Hwangcheongak? “It means being an actor without work after hours.”

Seo Dae-ryong heard me as a joke.

“Are you tired to death?”

“Instead, the dream I couldn’t achieve will come true.”

Seo Dae-ryong looked at me as I answered seriously and was surprised.

“no way? “Are you serious?”

“Of course I’m serious. What’s so urgent about learning late? “Slowly learn after work.”

“It’s urgent because it’s late. Can you become a master by learning like that? “Shouldn’t I risk everything in my life and take on this challenge?”

Seo Dae-ryong looked at Jang-ho and asked for support. However, Jangho did not respond and just looked at me as if he was listening to me.

Seo Dae-ryong, unable to find reinforcements, returned to the battlefield.

I spoke to him calmly.

“Usually that’s why everything fails. You may think you can risk your life, but in reality, it doesn’t work out. Rather, it is more difficult if there is time left from morning to night. I have so much time, but why am I not making any progress? What on earth am I doing? I feel frustrated and defeated. You will achieve much greater results when you just work on your own time and make an effort little by little. “Because it’s not just work, it’s also fun.”

Ian and Jangho, not Seo Dae-ryong, the person involved, nodded. Seo Dae-ryong seemed to have complicated feelings.

“And what matters is who you learn from. If you learn from a true expert who matches well with you, the training time is not very meaningful. For a person like that, just learning to drink a cup of tea will be better than a lifetime of babbling by a clumsy bastard.”

“Who is the real expert?”

Even Ian and Jang-ho were curious about who they were planning to make as their master.

“It will come soon.”

“You’re coming here?”

Not only Seo Dae-ryong, but also Ian and Jang-ho were surprised.

“So, did you know that Inspector Seo would make this decision?”

“Are you a fortune teller? know that “I came up with it by accident.”

“Then he doesn’t know about this situation?”

“of course.”

“oh my god!”

Seo Dae-ryong drank one more drink. He had already exceeded his usual drinking limit and was starting to enter the stage where alcohol led to drinking.

“Whether you get permission or not is the biggest battle. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to hold on to my pants and hang on.”

We all drank together, making sure to get permission.

Ian told Seo Dae-ryong to put his mouth to his glass, but he emptied his glass cleanly, saying he couldn’t do that before an important event.

“I don’t know who it is, but I will definitely get permission. Unless you give permission, the right pant leg is mine. Sir, please take charge of the left side.”

Seo Dae-ryong felt refreshed, perhaps because he thought that something he had dreamed of for a long time would come true.

“The master you saved must be a really great and good person.”

Of course, as soon as Ian said that.

Flash! Rumble! Boom!

Lightning struck and thunder was heard.

“It looks like it’s starting to pour in earnest now!”

It was right then.

“Oh, there he comes.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the first floor at my words.

A person was entering there.

After checking the other person, Ian covered his mouth and suppressed a scream.

Jangho was also startled and opened his eyes wide.

Seo Dae-ryong, who had his back turned, turned his head for the last time.

I could see Seo Dae-ryong’s surprise in real time. He opened his eyes wide, screamed a single word, tried to get up, and even spilled his drink.

thud.

The person who arrived at our place placed a large sword on the floor.

Bloody demonic energy gushed out from his small, torn eyes.

“Where are you so arrogant and asking people to come and go?”

The person who arrived was none other than Hyeolcheon Doma.

Shoot!

As if waiting, it started to rain.
