94. The Frey Guild

94. The Frey Guild94. The Frey Guild

When the Frey Guild gathers in one place, there's only one thing to do.

A drinking party, of course.

"The alcohol's going down smoothly!"

"How long are you going to do that shoulder dance?"

"Unni, we don't do that these days."

Sasha unni looks at me with an embarrassed expression.

"Really? They don't do it anymore?"

"They don't."

At my words, she looks at me with a hurt expression and then hugs me.

"I guess your unni is getting old. Comfort me."

"Don't hug me! You smell like alcohol!"

"Wah! So cold! So heartless!"

Sasha unni is making a fuss while hugging me. Sigh, it's tiring.

Are you already drunk? We've only had one drink!

More importantly, why am I drinking grape juice?

"I want alcohol too! Give me alcohol!"

"Should our youngest wait until she's a bit older?"

"What are you saying!? I'm an adult too! An adult!"

I want to say I'm a college student, but unfortunately, I'm a gap year student, so I can't.

Sasha unni looks at me with a pitiful expression and finally puts a drink in my hand.

"Our youngest is an adult too! So you should drink!"

"Sasha unni!"

As I look at her with a touched expression, Sasha unni grins. For a moment, she looked cooler than anyone else in the world.

But it was only for a moment.

"What are you giving to our youngest!?"

With those words, Rea unni slaps Sasha unni and takes the cup from my hand.

I try to rebel in my own way, but what comes back is a cup full of orange juice.

Wait, wasn't it grape juice earlier!? I like grape juice more than orange juice!

No, this isn't right!

As I sigh and sip the orange juice, Rea unni offers me a cake. I accept it with a serious expression, and she looks at me with a hurt face.

"I-I didn't know you'd dislike it so much."

"No, it's just that I've eaten too much cake recently..."

When I was kidnapped by the dragon mother and daughter, I ate half of the cake I'd eat in a lifetime, and when I got home, I finished the other half. Now I can't stand the sight of it.

Watching me like this, Balak oppa shows off his muscles and says something.

He pushes chicken breast in front of me, saying cake isn't good for the body, but I refuse immediately.

"I don't like it. It's too dry."

"H-how can that be... It has 25g of protein..."

He's muttering something to himself, but I can't understand what he's saying.

As I poke Balak oppa, Rea unni hugs me and keeps him from getting close.

Those words seem to have dealt additional damage, as Balak oppa can't come to his senses for a while. Excluding him, we continued the party late into the night.

When I woke up in the morning and sat blankly on the bed, looking around, I saw the sleeping unnis.

How much did they drink last night that they're all still out of it even though the sun is high in the sky?

"Kyuung."

"That's right. Our Yong-yong was here too?"

"Kyuuung!?"

As I poke the cheeks of our Yong-yong, who's looking at me with a shocked expression, I tell him it's a joke. He seems to be sulking, puffing up his cheeks, but even that is too cute.

Just then, with a rustling sound, Rea unni gets up, rubbing her eyes.

"Mmm, you're up early."

"Good morning."

Actually, it's afternoon, but whatever.

I wake up all the sleeping unnis, but none of them are in their right minds.

After giving them about 2 hours to prepare, everyone finishes getting ready. We have a meal, and then I wave goodbye to the guild members, saying we'll meet in the game, and we part ways.

On the way home in Rea unni's car.

It was fun, even though it was just one night and two days. Now I'll go home, wash up, and play the game.

More than that, I feel like I've forgotten something.

When I check my phone that I took out by chance, there are an enormous number of missed calls.

Among them, the messages from my older sister were no joke.

[My little sister, already staying out overnight? Without saying anything? Let's talk when you get back.]

"Rea unni, can I stay at your place for a while?"

"Did something happen?"

"I think I'll die if I go home."

I read the message content to Rea unni, who's driving, and she looks at me with an incredulous face, asking if I didn't contact them. When did I have time!?

You ate me up with high tension as soon as we met!

But it's already too late.

If I prepare my heart and use Yong-yong as a shield...

Our Yong-yong stares at me intently, asking what I mean by that.

"Kyuuung?"

"Can our Yong-yong read minds?"

"Kyuung!"

I hug our Yong-yong, who proudly claims to be a dragon despite his appearance, and apologize. He says he'll forgive me for tteokbokki.

Should I be relieved that he's fully adapted to capitalist ideology?

After a long 3-hour drive, Rea unni drops me off in front of my house.

"Thank you, Rea unni."

"It's nothing. You're our precious guild member, after all!"

I wave to Rea unni as she leaves, saying we'll see each other in the evening. After preparing my heart, I open the door and go in.

"I'm home."

"......"

There's no sound from the house. Did everyone go out?

Shouting "Lucky!" I enter the living room to find my mom, dad, and older sister looking at me with cold expressions.

"Oh... you were here?"

"Come here and sit down."

At my parents' chilly voices, I kneel down and sit, and immediately a barrage of nagging begins.

They ask why I didn't contact them before going somewhere, saying they worry if I don't answer, and they hug me tightly along with the tremendous scolding.

"If you stay out without saying anything one more time, be prepared."

"I'm sorry..."

Still, it ended warmly in the end.

Thanks to the souvenirs Rea unni prepared.

"Oh my, isn't this expensive?"

"I saw this on Instagram, and it was super expensive! Where did our little sister get the money to buy this!?"

"A close unni bought it all for me."

While they were checking the souvenirs, I said I was tired and went to my room to rest. Then I quietly slipped out with Yong-yong.

As soon as I entered the room, I threw myself on the bed, and the soft bed welcomed me.

Mom must have changed the bedding; it's cozy.

"Mmm, should I just roll around in bed today?"

"Kyuung!"

Our Yong-yong says we have a meeting today.

How admirable that you're acting as my secretary too?

"I'll appoint our Yong-yong as the mascot of the Red Revolution Group and my secretary!"

"Kyuuung."

He says he doesn't need it. How cruel! Heartless! So heartless!

As I rub my face against Yong-yong, complaining that he's too heartless, he sighs and licks my cheek.

"As expected, I'm your favorite in the whole world, right, Yong-yong?"

"Kyuuung."

Kyaa! Our Yong-yong saying I'm his favorite in the whole world, isn't that too bold!?

After rubbing cheeks for a while, I get hit once and then put on the gear and log into the game.

When I open my eyes, I wake up in the Red Revolution Group hideout, and after a while, Yong-yong appears with a bright light.

And soon after, with a knock, the Silver Fox Clan twins enter.

"You've arrived."

"Yes! Nothing happened, right?"

"......"

The Silver Fox Clan twins, Rang and Ran, are staring at me intently without saying anything.

I'm anxious. Extremely anxious.

I look at them with pleading eyes, begging them to say it's not true, but they just turn their heads away.

"Please check the desk in your office."

"N-no, I don't want to."

"You must."

With no choice, I move my feet towards the office, feeling very anxious.

As soon as I open the office door and go inside, what I see is a pile of documents stacked high on the desk.

As I try to leave the office, the Silver Fox Clan twins block my way.

"You need to work."

"I-I don't want to! Today is a day I want to sing revolutionary songs!"

"You can do that after you finish everything. It won't be too late."

"It will be too late! Can't you hear it!? The voice of the people!"

"We can't hear it."

With those words, they forcibly sit me down in the chair and put a pen in my hand.

Then they hand me the most urgent documents first, and even just those are an enormous amount.

As I'm racking my brain for a way out, I hear a voice.

"There's no other way, so please work diligently."

"......"

As I work on the documents for a long time, I wonder if I'm playing this game to relieve stress or to receive it.

Amidst all this, one document catches my eye.

[Frey Guild Report.]

Isn't the Frey Guild our guild? Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As I read the report in detail, it says that we've been recognized as one of the top 10 guilds as a small elite guild, and my shoulders rise with pride.

But recently, it says other guilds have been picking fights with the Frey Guild.

Starting from hunting grounds to dungeons, they've been causing trouble. Recently, there have even been signs of them trying to PK us.
