Translator: True Detective
Chapter 12
Upon arriving on the 3rd floor, I saw Maksun trembling all over.
“C... Crazy...”
“Maksun-ah! Why are you trembling like that?”
“R... Ryuo-ya! You just have to go into that room over there! Then I'll go to prepare the food!”
Seeing Maksun jump down the stairs in an instant, anxiety rose slightly.
“Don't tell me she dumped cleaning up vomit on me?”
I can feel it, the scent of a troublesome customer.
Swallowing a sigh inwardly, I opened the indicated door.
—Rattle!
As the door opened, the troublesome customer sitting in a bad posture behind the guest table looked at me.
—Gulp gulp!
“Hello?”
“…”
“Excuse me.”
Slightly... I was really slightly scared, but I went inside the room, closed the door, and sat facing her.
“…”
“…”
“I am called Jang Ryuo.”
—Gulp gulp
No, I don't know what we are doing right now.
If she called, she must have some intention, but she's just sucking on alcohol while looking at me...
Just as I was about to say something because there was no sign of conversation progressing...
“Kugh!”
The customer is holding her head and frowning in pain.
Startled, I went to her side and checked her condition.
“Excuse me, are you okay?”
“Phew... Phew...”
Seeing her gradually calming down, I was relieved.
Something happening to a noble young lady while alone with me? Ugh...
Since she held her head and bent her waist, I assumed it was a headache.
I took the alcohol bottle held in the customer's hand and placed it on the table.
“…?”
“Did you have a meal?”
“… No.”
“Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach gives you a headache. Snacks will come soon, so drink the rest then.”
The customer stared at me blankly.
W... What are you looking at? I'm Arin's disciple.
Awkward. Should at least exchange names.
“What is your name?”
“You don't know me?”
Wow. I didn't know I would hear this line in real life.
“It hasn't been long since I came here.”
“… Cheon Hwaryeong.”
“Your name is very pretty.”
“…”
Ow... Shouldn't have said that.
Since she's just staring blankly, it's awkward to death. Embarrassing too.
I wondered if I should cancel it even now, but with a knock, a huge table of food and alcohol arrived.
“E... Enjoy your meal!”
Maksun and the waiters setting up at tremendous speed and leaving quickly, as expected, I felt their experience was different.
The table was spread, she should eat something, but Cheon Hwaryeong still just stared at me.
“You said it was an empty stomach, right? Start with a hangover cure first.”
Even if I opened my palm and politely pointed to the soup, her gaze remained fixed on me.
“If you don't eat, you'll have heartburn and a headache...”
“Feed me.”
? Oho? A royal highness has arrived indeed. There is no troublesome customer like this.
What can I do, the moment the door opened, our eyes met and I was marked immediately.
Originally, troublesome customers beat up guys who catch their eye and stuff like that.
I scooped a spoonful of soup with hot steam rising from it.
“Whoa, hot.”
—Blow
“…?”
I brought the somewhat cooled soup to her mouth.
“Ah~”
“…??”
“Why aren't you eating?”
Cheon Hwaryeong opened her mouth and swallowed the soup silently.
“…”
“Does it suit your taste?”
—Smirk...
She laughed...
It's as small as a rat's tail, but even a little smile brightens her face completely!
Cheon Hwaryeong, who was staring at me intently, spoke.
“What is so funny?”
“You laughed just now?”
“…”
“It's much better when you smile. Go around smiling a bit.”
“Kuh...”
Oh, now she has burst into laughter completely.
As expected, laughter is contagious.
I poured alcohol into the glass of Cheon Hwaryeong who seemed to be in a good mood and held it out.
“Drink up. All the way~”
—Gulp
“Much better, right?”
“Kuku... Right.”
Today I have to go buy the first gift for Master, so I should feed her quickly and get off work quickly.
“Here, try eating this too. Ah~”
Just because he looked useful, I intended to place him by my side and drink alcohol...
[Heavenly Demon Thousand Years, Ten Thousand Demons Submit (Cheonmacheonse Manma-angbok)! Cult Leader! You must achieve the Great Work!]
[Right Guardian! I do not permit it! Impossible!]
[—Crunch!]
As I suffered from the headache coming with the terrible memories tormenting me...
[Did you have a meal?]
A guy who arrogantly snatched my alcohol bottle.
[Your name is very pretty.]
A guy who evaluates my name without knowing his place.
[Whoa, hot. Hoo~]
A guy who dares to act vulgarly in front of This Seat (Bonjwa).
[It's much better when you smile. Go around smiling a bit.]
A guy I thought would just tremble and force the corners of his mouth up.
“What is your name?”
“I told you earlier. I am called Jang Ryuo.”
The arrogant man in front of my eyes made me forget the terrible memories for a moment.
[Much better, right?]
His quite arrogant speech, wondering where he rolled in from, was just fascinating.
Every single action is unpredictable.
“Do you want to eat that too?”
“Yes.”
What kind of guy is he?
“Do you have no talent?”
“Talent?”
“Try showing off some tricks.”
Look at that disrespectful expression full of dissatisfaction.
If he received an order, he should just execute it, but his eyebrows are crooked and his lips are protruding out.
“Tsk, I don't show this to just anyone you know?”
The man took out a silver coin from his pocket.
“Here~ Ta-da!”
Hiding the silver coin in the opposite hand with obvious hand movements.
“Where did the silver coin go? Ta-da!”
With slow hand movements, he pretends to take it out from This Seat's ear.
Just staring at him wondering what to do with this cheeky fellow...
“Uh... Not funny?”
I can hear the sound of his large eyeballs rolling all the way here.
Quite a funny sight.
“Kukukukuku... Puhahaha!”
Why is that appearance with his nose high in the sky just because I laughed once so fun?
“Was it really not something you show to just anyone?”
“Yes.”
“Try eating this too.”
“Okay.”
“That too.”
“…”
The food that was like grains of sand became edible.
“Drink a glass.”
—Gulp!
The strong liquor that tasted like nothing felt sweet.
I resent this body that cannot get drunk on such a day.
The warmth felt after a long time soothed the empty insides.
What is this funny guy?
How does he know and bring what I want to my mouth?
What is so enjoyable that he smiles so brightly?
Ah...
Seeing my head spin, was it an assassin...
I haven't achieved the Great Work yet... I am sorry, Right Guardian.
Seeing as I don't have much greed, I must be very tired.
I will catch up on the sleep I couldn't get and come find you.
Because I look terrible right now.
Will you nag asking why I came already?
It will be better to hear than words telling me to achieve the Great Work.
“Sleep peacefully. I will tell the owner.”
It's a gift.
Since you caught me, your name will ring throughout the whole region.
(Image of a tanker lying down and the party being annihilated by monsters.)
No fck the vanguard suddenly lay down as soon as combat started;;
Party exploded just like that and dropped all items.
└ Lol monsters have to make a living too, ate well and left!
└ Thanks to you, the ghoul family is said to have spent this winter warmly ㅠㅠ
└ Retard, looking at the status effect, did you feed him alcohol?
└└ Yup so what
└└ You made him drunk drive
You fed him a fckton of alcohol to puff up the vanguard's strength right?
(Image of Drunken status effect being initialized.)
Our amazing developer company didn't make a drunkenness gauge, drunk status effect, or stack count display, and just puts the companion to sleep.
Why it became like this is because
(Level 21 Strength 267)
In version 1.01, someone forcibly fed 200 alcohols to a companion and hit Strength 267 so it's like that.
The developer company didn't fix the infinite strength stack bug, and since it's alcohol, decided to just make them sleep.
This is malicious because it doesn't count as sleep status so you can't wake them up, and counts as an unidentified status effect so there's absolutely no movement.
Still, they wake up after time passes.
└ Ah fck, no wonder when I gave 100 alcohols he only drank once each.
└└ Did you pour it in just because of that?
└└ Thought I could get a free ride... What a waste
└ Info Recommend
└ Wow, can I feed alcohol, kidnap, and do bad things to the motionless p*ssy?
└└ Yup but sleeping pills are cheaper than alcohol price

—Chirp chirp chirp
Cheon Hwaryeong opened her eyes wide.
Her clearly cleared head grasped the current situation.
“…? I slept? This Seat? I got drunk?”
Question marks and Ryuo's face filled up her cleared mind.
A situation where mental cultivation could have broken, but there was no displeasure.
As Cheon Hwaryeong was staring blankly, Sa Mayeon outside the room called Cheon Hwaryeong with a trembling voice.
—M... May I come in?
Originally she was a merchant she would have ignored, but right now she is a merchant holding what she wants.
“I permit it.”
—Rattle!
Sa Mayeon dared not even meet her eyes and prostrated flat.
“L... Last night... were you well...”
“What is that guy.”
“That... Yes? Ah-ah! Ryuo! He is a child named Jang Ryuo!”
She didn't ask for the name, but Cheon Hwaryeong didn't mind.
“Bring him.”
“That is... That child... Ma...”
A merchant dares to hesitate when I gave a chance...
Irritation rushing in instantly.
—Crash!
“Hieek! That child will be here from Horse Hour (11 AM-1 PM) to Rooster Hour (5 PM-7 PM)! Every day!”
Even though I clearly said bring him, Sa Mayeon acts stubborn as if her life isn't precious.
“Arrogant b*tch...”
Sa Mayeon shouted like a last struggle.
“If you kill me! That child will never come find you forever.”
Cheon Hwaryeong intended to twist Sa Mayeon's neck, but for some reason, her hand didn't move.
“Do you think that works as a threat?”
“Heavenly Demon-nim! Taking that child's body can be easier than anything.”
“…”
“Then you will not obtain his heart.”
Heart? Where would I use such a thing even if obtained.
But Cheon Hwaryeong decided to listen to the merchant's sweet talk.
“Continue.”
“If you want to use him just like a folding screen, cutting his tendons and keeping him by your side would be easiest.”
“…”
“However, that child's charm doesn't come simply from appearance, but from the beautiful nature coming from his heart.”
In an instant, Ryuo's bright face floated in Cheon Hwaryeong's mind.
[It's much better when you smile. Go around smiling a bit.]
“…”
Usually, Sa Mayeon would have raised her head slightly to read the mood, but the heavy air made her unable to do even that.
Honestly, from Sa Mayeon's perspective, even if Ryuo is taken away, her stomach would only hurt... hurt quite a bit, but there is no hindrance to living.
But thinking that Arin, upon learning that fact, would split Chwihyangru and herself in half...
“Please do not break that child's heart and let the light fade...”
Since dying this way or that way is the same, the only place to lean on was gambling.
Like that, a moment of silence passed...
“I will come again at Horse Hour. If I cannot feel that so-called heart...”
—Gulp!
Cheon Hwaryeong placed her foot on Sa Mayeon's chin and lifted it.
“You will pay the price for flapping your arrogant tongue.”
