Side Story (21)
Today is an important meeting day.
The warrior party was neatly dressed for formality and image.
“Mister, is it okay to dress neatly like this? However, it is a bit inconvenient to move.”
“That’s because I gained weight.”
“I didn’t gain weight!”
A hot-tempered Luna.
These days, when I play with my flesh, it feels good and it’s fun.
Luna was dressed in a neat semi-suit.
“Still, it’s pretty.”
“Of course, it is Luna who will be your uncle’s bride! It’s so pretty that it makes enemies!”
“Are you sure you are the enemy now?”
“Sure! You’re forcing me down! How much!”
Is that really forcible?
Since the last time Luna ran away holding my hand, she was being lynched by 3 people.
But, if something like that makes you feel down, you probably aren’t a hero.
Luna always looked confident and bright.
“Should I say I like this because I am confident even if I make a mistake… “
“Good is good!”
Yes, as Luna said, think positively.
As she was thinking about that, the warrior party that she had finished preparing was coming out of her room.
They were all neatly dressed today.
I thought it was because I wanted to look good to my parents.
‘Looking at it like this, the kids look really neat and pretty… ‘
I knew that I was always pretty.
The appearance of the warrior party that makes you feel again.
A well-groomed warrior party that looks like an employee being interviewed.
I led them and took a taxi to the restaurant where my parents were waiting.
As the taxi arrived, Saten looked at her car and said.
“There are not enough seats. We are 5 people. Taxis are for up to 4 people.”
In that case, it would be better to divide it into 3 or 2 people.
Here’s the problem.
Who should go to 3 and who should go to 2.
Hare raised her hand to express her opinion.
“Well, I think there should be Luna in 2.”
“Why me!”
“Luna must take her punishment. Do you all agree?”
“I agree.”
“I agree!”
Every warrior party except me and Luna agreed.
Naturally, Luna belonged to 2.
And more naturally.
“Hare expressed his opinion. I think you might as well come along.”
“Eh, why? My, why do I have to go with Luna!”
“After the hunt is over, there is no need for hounds. Does Estiya agree?”
“I don’t know what it is, but I will agree!”
Tosagupaeng.
Hare won.
So the two took a taxi with a gloomy expression and left for their destination.
‘Is this my wives’ fight… ?’
It feels like my heart will stop when I see it right in front of my eyes.
So I, Saten, and Estiya took a taxi and moved toward the restaurant.
The taxi driver kindly asked if he was curious about our well-groomed appearance.
“Heh heh, seeing him go to a job interview at such a young age… It reminds me of my old days… “
Saten replied in a dry voice to the old man’s words.
“Then, it seems that you got married early, too.”
“Marriage… ? It’s not a job interview… ?”
“Yes, we are going to a marriage interview. They say it’s a meeting ceremony in Korean.”
“… Two women. To a man?”
“Yes.”
“… “
After the question, the taxi driver drove in silence without saying anything.
I don’t usually get motion sickness, but today I feel like motion sickness has gotten worse.
I was a bit out of breath.
“You’re late! Mister!”
“Sah, you didn’t have an accident… ?”
I was relieved that I had arrived safely.
“Are there two more?”
The taxi driver’s last glance seemed to be remembered for the rest of his life.
***
Meeting Case.
Originally, it is a place to bring each other’s parents and talk.
The atmosphere is serious, and if the conditions are not met, the marriage may be broken by the parents.
However, our worries were not as great as we thought.
“By any chance, Luna’s parents?”
“I left my mom and dad in the other world!”
A case in which Luna gave her warrior’s fortune to her parents and passed on this way.
Of course, the meeting could not proceed.
My father, perplexed, cleared his voice and asked Hare.
“Well then, you… “
“Well, I haven’t had it since I was born. I am an orphan.”
“… I’m sorry.”
I haven’t seen my father’s face in a long time.
In contrast to the calm expression of the mother, the expression of the father is getting worse and worse.
“Sa, Saten Your parents… “
“He died. And, you’d better assume it wasn’t there from the start, Dad.”
“… There must be a lot to be sorry for today.”
Father bowed his head again.
How many times do I have to apologize today for it to end?
Then I asked Estiya, who was the last one.
“Keuheum, Estiya, your parents… “
“No!”
My father bowed his head.
Today, the top of my father’s head looked empty.
My heart ached.
“No way… Oh, and the uncle too?”
“No, not me. That’s circular hair loss caused by stress. I am fine.”
Although he resembles his father, that hair loss is not genetic.
I absolutely denied Hare’s questioning. My hair is in good condition.
… Yet.
“Honey, enough to talk about parents. I intend to give permission for the marriage anyway.”
Meeting rites don’t matter.
A mother who steps forward first.
At those words, my father put on a solemn expression for the first time in a while.
“But you can’t just skip it! Even a wedding with four people! This is unprecedented! I’m still against it!”
My father’s will was stubborn.
Well, it must be difficult for a man with Confucian blood to admit this situation.
I kind of agreed with my father’s opinion.
“That’s right, my father. It’s a bit strange in Korea.”
“Oh, you mean you don’t want to marry us?”
“You’re going to come out like that, mister?!”
“No, not that…” “
I am.
I can’t speak.
“Let’s just eat, kids.”
To change my mind, I tore off a piece of ribs on the table.
Because it is a famous Korean restaurant, the taste of the galbi was fantastic.
The warrior party, which was taught Korean manners by me, started eating after my parents took a bite.
“Talking with both parents is a realistic issue, and father first.”
“Why is that?”
“You believe these guys are a party of warriors, right?”
Hmm.
My father crosses his arms as if he is uncomfortable with my words.
“How can I believe that? I’ve never seen it with my own eyes.”
“Saten, show me.”
“Here.”
Saten created fire from her hands.
My father’s eyes widened at the sight, and he nodded his head in approval.
“… Don’t believe it for once However, the marriage license is still pending.”
Not yet.
When do you agree?
It’s been a long time since my mother agreed.
Luna shouted, raising her hand to see if she thought the same as me.
“Father, that Luna has a question!”
“Question? Say yes.”
“Why are you against it! It’s something we all agree on and it’s in progress! We will oppose your objection!”
Luna comes out strong when she opposes marriage.
Is that the dignity of a warrior?
I admired Luna coming out powerfully.
“But, I am really curious. My mother gave her permission, but why is my father against it?”
“The first is because there is no precedent… Secondly… Because you don’t know your responsibility… “
It’s a responsibility.
I wonder if I am unaware of my responsibility.
My father seemed to be thinking of me like the child he had seen before.
“Father. I know the word responsibility better than anyone else.”
“A guy you know is going to get married? This is hell-“
“Honey.”
“… It’s not hell, it’s a little hard. Let me ask you one thing. What are you going to do after you graduate?”
What do you do for a living?
My father seemed to value the professional part more.
That’s probably why you oppose my marriage.
I can’t let them live on their parents’ money forever.
It seemed like the word responsibility followed by a question.
‘I… What should I do with my life… ‘
I just live and take over my parents’ work.
No, I hate that.
It’s not something I really want to do.
However, I don’t have anything in particular that I want to do.
‘Still, if I had to choose a job… ‘
I looked my father in the eyes and said.
“I think the thing I want to do at least is cooking.”
“Why cook out of so many jobs?”
“I did a lot of cooking to feed Luna at home, and sometimes I cooked it when I was alone at home. And… “
The me of the other world that the hero party talked about.
He had a little bit of memory, so he had a lot of knowledge about cooking.
‘That guy was a good cook.’
A well-polished dish served at a warrior’s party.
If I had to decide on a job, that seemed to be the closest thing.
My father nodded lightly as if he liked my answer.
“Not bad. If it’s cooking, you might be successful professionally. If you have an idea to open a shop, I will help you. No? Unconditionally open the store. Otherwise, I will cut off support from you.”
“Father, that’s too much!”
“Noisy! You are eating!”
Father shouted at Luna to see if there was an afterthought.
I live in captivity by my mother every day, but when I do, I do.
He was a good father to me.
“I will try.”
My mother, who had been quietly listening to those words, stepped out.
“Yes, try. Our son And, the four of you.”
Luna, Hare, Saten, Estiya.
As the mother called out the names of the warriors’ parties one by one, she looked at them sharply.
“Although I gave permission for the marriage, I also want to hear your determination. What are your thoughts?”
“Thought… !”
“Wait a minute… tidy up your hair… “
“… “
“What do you think?”
Is it because of his mother’s sharp question?
The warriors party is starting to panic more than ever.
Probably more than when I met the Demon King.
I wondered if I was in confusion.
