The God of Wine and Ecstasy. The only person who used such a modifier was Dionysus, one of the 12 gods of Olympus.
[The constellation 'God of Wine and Ecstasy' is humming.]
I couldn't hear the song but I could see the drops of alcohol dancing to an unknown melody. The bubbles moved like they had life, forming numerous notes on the ground. The notes repeatedly moved between me and Yoo Sangah.
Yoo Sangah looked at the notes carefully and opened her mouth. “It is the puppy waltz.”
“Can you read musical notes?”
“A little bit.”
Yoo Sangah cocked her head and continued speaking.
“Why did Chopin suddenly appear?”
I didn't have a clue. It was strange that Dionysus knew about Chopin in the first place. No. According to the original story, he was someone with great interest in the musical culture of later generations. It wasn't strange.
The notes formed a circle and then arrows that pointed towards the remaining soju bottles. Yoo Sangah wondered, “…Is he telling us to drink more?”
“Let's drink.” There was no other way to interpret it. “Yoo Sangah-ssi, drink only a little bit. At least one person should be sane.”
I needed someone to protect my teammates if I became drunk. I could wake up Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung, who only drank cider, but I wanted to let them sleep well.
“Dokjssi can't drink well?”
“I'm not a strong drinker.”
I lightly tapped my glass against hers and drank the soju. The alcohol entered my body and made me feel hot. However, the notes didn't stop.
“…I think I should drink more.”
I drank a few glasses in succession. Heat rose from inside me and I could feel the redness in my face. The movements of the musical notes became more active. No, did it look more active because I was drunk? Yoo Sangah smiled. “It is nice to drink with you. I was a bit lonely.”
Thus, I drank a few more cups. I felt a bit better as a mellow smell rose. I suddenly turned around and found that I was very close to Yoo Sangah. I had obviously been quite far away…
I was mistaken. The sound of breathing was harsh. I didn't know if it was my breathing or the breathing of Yoo Sangah. Yoo Sangah's shoulder lightly touched mine.
“Dokjssi.”
“Yes.”
It was clearly a face free of makeup but it was hard to find any blemishes. Yoo Sangah slowly leaned towards me. Her face was getting closer and closer.
A pair of quarter notes and eighth notes danced intensely around us. My heart started to beat faster at the touch against my shoulders.
…Wait, something was strange.
[The exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' has offset some of the drunkenness.]
The message popped up and my mind cleared. Yes, this couldn't happen in reality. Yoo Sangah wasn't such a person. It was only possible because this was Ways of Survival. I firmly held Yoo Sangah's shoulder and urged her, “Yoo Sangah-ssi, stay alert.”
“Huh? Ah… ah?” The startled Yoo Sangah blinked. Her face turned red for the first time. “I-I, what did I…?”
As expected, it wasn't Yoo Sangah's will. I was in a slightly miserable mood as I opened my mouth and spoke towards the notes hovering on the ground. “Stop playing and get straight to the point.”
The notes all stopped at the same time. It was a serene silence, like the midnight festival had suddenly stopped. The alcohol bubbles fell to the ground and sparks flew. Then the bubbles formed one string of words.
-You broke the excitement.
“Ah, don't be so vigilant. Aren't we both dead?”
The curious young man's eyes came closer. There was a mean and cruel look in them. I only saw him for a short time but it was an unforgettable impression. The man smiled. “Yes, who the hell killed you? Please open your mouth. Huh?”
The person who died in the first scenario, Delusional Demon Kim Namwoon was in Hades' domain.
