I turned around and saw the owner of the pub staring at me with curious eyes. I replied as naturally as possible. “I just entered yesterday.”
“It is good to see you. Life in the industrial complex is hard but our hearts are good. I don't know where you're from but this isn't a bad place to settle down. Care for a drink?”
“No, I don't like to drink.”
“Huhu, going to this place when you don't know how to drink. You are an unfortunate friend.”
I heard this and was reminded of when I first joined Mino Soft.” Han Myungoh said something similar when I first told him I couldn't drink alcohol at the restaurant.
Come to think of it, where was Han Myungoh now? He received the curse of Demon King Asmodeus and there was no way to confirm his life or death…
I somehow felt down as I remembered those tiring days.
“I don't like drinking but I like the appetizers served with alcohol. Do you mind if I order side dishes?”
“Of course. We have deep fried demon's claws, fried demon tripe and…”
I smiled. “Stop making fun of me.”
“Haha, busted.”
“Give me the best you have. How much?”
“Five coins only.”
It was an insanely low price. It was a price that the small constellation of Peace Land could afford. I thought for a bit before asking, “If I pay double, can you make it doubly delicious?”
“Hahah, I can make it triply delicious.”
I handed over 50 coins without speaking and the owner's eyes widened.
“…10 times is a bit tough but I'll try.”
Unlike what he said, the owner seemed to be a skillful chef because a pleasant smell was coming from him. My expectations were slightly inflated as I anticipated appeasing my hunger. I couldn't help it when thinking it was time to eat real food.
I ignored my stomach for a moment and sighed. I had been working so hard that it wouldn't be hard to have a rest.
“How great. Is that the place called Earth?”
A bunch of incarnations were looking at the screen hanging from the top of the pub.
It was a video recording from a dokkaebi's channel. It was a familiar scene and then a familiar voice started to flow out.
-Ahjussi!
It was a scene from the Seoul Dome scenario. It was a record of the tenth scenario, the 73rd Demon King. I heard Shin Yoosung's voice coming from the screen and a corner of my heart was pained.
I raised the collar of my coat so it half covered my face and watched the video.
“The scenario impact is awesome. Isn't it as rumoured?”
“Don't you think it is the most popular scenario area lately?”
“The incarnations in that neighbourhood must be very prosperous!”
Almost all the mass media in the Demon World were under the control of the wenny people.
The wenny people couldn't open channels directly like the dokkaebi so they couldn't earn income through donations. Instead, they stole the recording material and distributed them all over the world.
“Shit, I don't think the degree of difficulty is that high. I can also do that much!”
“Stop speaking nonsense. If you were there, you couldn't even make it to the fifth scenario.”
“Uhuh, no?”
They watched the screen and the 73rd Demon King scenario started to gradually change.
-Uriel, you know. This is just a story.
It felt really strange to see my lines flowing from the screen.
-You must've seen many people die in the meantime.
It was the moment when Uriel was very sad…
