Chapter 563. Reincarnated Neighborhood Association (4)
“That's fortunate. Just like that, I'm on my way home from work.”
Seeing him step out in his normal work clothes, I guessed that it would be like that.
But what does that mean?
Doesn't it have nothing to do with you?
Shen was puzzled.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Even masters like Mr. Shen are really dull at times like this.”
“Hmm?”
What are you talking about?
“You don’t have a job either. I'm on my way to work too. If you call me like this, of course there is only one thing to do, right?”
What does that mean?
Shen quietly tried to guess his true intentions, but couldn't pinpoint anything.
Apparently, it's not like he wants to apply for a personal job.
“What do you mean?”
No matter how much you think about it, you won't find an answer.
I just decided to ask outright.
If you don't know, ask if you don't know.
that's the simplest
A lot of people seem to struggle because they don't realize this simple thing.
He scratched the back of his head, realizing that Shen wasn't joking.
“ah? Actually, I was supposed to have a drink at a regular store with the off-duty guys today. I can see Mr. Shen returning as well. That's why I'm asking what it's like to sit together.”
“… … Right.”
After doing something, it was a story about having a drink or something.
Well, Shen wasn't unfamiliar with the story at all.
In the first place, the atmosphere of going to have a drink after a tiring day is not unique to this place.
It's a common occurrence over there.
“now. How are you? If you don't have anything to do, why don't we go together?”
“no??????
However, Shen was not very willing.
It's not that I hate places like that.
Before that incident, I often drank with officials and students of the sect even in the imperial kingdom.
Showing a cold attitude now is also a habit developed after the tragedy caused by Harial.
Even after coming here in the first place, I hadn't had a drink with Arel.
Although Arel suggested it, it was because Shen was evasive.
Of course, Arel also guessed the reason, so he didn't recommend it anymore.
But those who don't know the circumstances will just look suspicious.
“hmm? Is there anything else going on?”
“no… … It's not like that.”
No matter how much it is, you can't say ‘It's because he guided me' in his face.
He has that much common sense.
And when the opponent came out of favor, he was actually not harsh enough to act coldly.
“Aye, then hang out with me for a while. After all, you've never been with Shen before.”
“Uhm??????
“What is that shop? Cooking and drinking are fine, so there won't be any complaints. Let's go!
It's been a long time, so I'll treat you.”
“eww… … hmm?! wait a minute hmm? Are you listening?”
He said energetically and grabbed Shen's shoulder as he pushed forward.
In fact, if Shen puts his mind to it, he can hold on as long as he wants.
Shen couldn't hide his slightly flustered appearance, and as he was recommended, he ended up joining the party.
* * *
The banquet of the Pahilia knights, who suddenly joined, quickly became intoxicated with alcohol.
“These heartless bastards. Even so, does it make sense to call Mr. Shen now! Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”
Rempel, who was already very drunk, threw down a half-joke at his other colleagues as he drank beer in succession.
“No, we also recommended it, right? Mr. Lempel?”
“Why don’t you just say it like we didn’t call?”
“… … no way! That's because you guys are not popular. isn't it? Mr. Shen?”
“No, even then they suggested it and I refused. I must have drunk more than that.”
I thought I would drink a certain amount because I openly suggested alcohol, but I never thought that the person who offered it would be the first to get drunk.
This was surprising even to Shen.
This human drink is frighteningly weak.
Shen quietly sipping strong rum, astonished at the fact.
The other knight who saw it stared blankly.
“More than that, Mr. Shen is quite strong. Oh, are you sure you didn’t get drunk on purpose?”
Most of the knights who were drunk now deliberately stopped the cycle of aura.
It's a method that started to become popular at some point.
Perhaps the source was that Seina, the lord's escort, started talking about it.
So, with Shen not drunk, he seemed to think that Shen deliberately didn't give up his energy.
It's not a tree.
Even among the knights, there were those who deliberately did not lay down their skills because they did not want to get drunk.
“No. I’m also putting my energy down.”
But minutes do not go.
In the first place, if you are a master at that level, there is no way you can tell with their eyes whether or not you are folding your inner skills.
it's just drunk
Shen insisted.
“Rather than that, the alcohol here tastes good, but it's a little plain.”
“The one Mr. Shen drinks is also quite strong.”
“It’s normal to be a little stronger back home.”
“It looks similar to the wine dwarves drink, doesn’t it?”
“I just have some in my luggage, so I'll bring it next time.”
“But don’t give it to the author of Lempel. Kkeuk. If you give it to that guy, he will stretch out in no time.”
“Ah?? What nonsense are you talking about? Do I look that weak?
No, Mr. Shen. If you bring it now, I think you will have to compete with this guy.”
“All right. Bring it next time.”
Did you get drunk too?
Shen naturally felt bitter inside when he realized that he had said next.
I definitely don't like alcohol.
Even there, he would often have drinks with his students and close friends.
I don't really hate their noisy atmosphere here either.
However, I felt a strange revulsion towards myself, who was gradually relieved by this alone.
why are you here
That fact is still not forgotten in my head.
There's no way I'll forget it just because I drank a little.
“hmm? Mr. Shen? What's wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing.” One of the knights drinking with him cautiously asked if it was evident in his complexion.
Shen quickly changed his complexion and pretended it was nothing.
“It's just that I'm not used to drinking here.”
Making such an excuse, Shen gulped down the rest of the drink at once.
It's not a bad drink either.
But that's why it's bittersweet.
It wasn't until late at night that the dinner party ended.
The knights also returned to their quarters one by one.
As if everyone was enjoying their drunkenness, Shen also turned away when he saw that he was going around slowly without deliberately deciphering.
His quarters are also on the side of the castle, but he doesn't feel like going back now.
At once, without a sound or sign, he reached the top of the outer wall of the city and sat there, staring outside.
I don't see anything in particular.
Rather, it is just watching because there is nothing else to see.
All drunkenness has already gone.
This is because he deliberately used his internal energy to decipher it.
The time to enjoy drunkenness is not allowed to oneself now.
Shen sincerely thinks so.
The reason why I came here is only to pay off the grudge of the disciples.
And it's just to pay for his sins as an ugly teacher who couldn't stop him.
‘but… … Will I be able to repay my grudge like this? …
It is a question that has not been said in front of Arel.
Rather than doubting him, this is a question posed to himself.
The opponent of revenge is mighty.
it is already well known.
I know because I've been through it several times chasing traces and bumping into them.
I have no thoughts of quality.
I'm not arrogant enough to be sure I'll win easily.
If he had been able to kill him easily, he would have already put an end to Arell.
Right now, Arel is away to consult with the reincarnated people gathered by Rirensen in order to prepare a force to stand against him.
It wasn't that Arel refused to follow him, it was just that he didn't follow him himself.
He only sharpens his fist.
I just wait patiently for the day to repay my grudge.
“… … but. Is this really all there is to it?”
By the time I had such a small doubt.
Arel's presence was felt here again.
It is not the alter ego that was left behind, but the return of the person himself.
It seems that the negotiations are over.
‘… … Is this an opportunity?'
Actually, I was hesitant to ask for it later.
You probably won't be able to ask for it later.
Shen immediately decided to visit Arell.
First of all, since he's a disciple, it's okay to take that much off.
“Whoah? Playing with easy things for a while... … No, I'm proud to hear an informative story after a long time.”
After I finished talking with the reincarnated people that Rerensen had gathered, I returned to Pahilia and decided to just play for the time being with this rewarding heart.
It was late, so I wanted to think about it while rolling around in moderation.
“teacher.”
Shen, who seemed to have been waiting for me, suddenly jumped out and called me.
did you call
As I turn around in silence, Shen looks at me intently.
“Do you have some time right now?”
“. hour?”
If I said no here, I'd be complete trash.
Lately, if you've been told to do everything and ignore it, you're a real human being.
“What?”
“Could I ask you for a moment please?”
He asked me while being polite enough that he didn't have to.
“one… … Sura... … hmm… … is it.”
At the unexpected request, I blankly scratched my cheeks and pondered.
Come to think of it, hadn't Shen ever asked me for something like this before?
“Now that you’re out, you can relax a bit more.”
Then there is no reason to heartily refuse.
As a former teacher, I have the tolerance to accept it.
*
First of all, we wanted to go somewhere out of sight, so we headed to the desert area at the western end of the continent.
If it's here, there's no need to be seen by anyone.
“Come to think of it, except for the time we ran into each other here, haven’t we ever had a proper fist fight?”
“I know very well that you don’t have the time to do that. How can I bother you?”
“You don’t have to hold each other that way.”
I laughed bitterly.
It's just a story from a distant past, anyway.
And now he is no different from a person who has grown up and become independent.
There is no reason for you to bow down to me as a disciple.
“Because I also want to practice properly from time to time. It would be more beneficial than bullying the kids.”
Sometimes it would be nice to get it right and practice.
“… … thank you.”
“It’s done. You are the first to ask So don't let me down.”
I clenched my fists moderately and took a posture.
However, it is not the attitude of the same school as Shen, but a different attitude.
I draw the sword I brought and hold it properly.
A straight, straight posture.
Feeling uncomfortable, Shen wrinkled his forehead.
“that?”
“Authentic swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Ernesia.”
Now, the swordsmanship that I passed on to my sister, who passed it on to the knights, and the knights who passed it on to the soldiers, is causing a stir.
However, 70 percent of the knights and soldiers in the kingdom still use this swordsmanship.
It's straight and simple, but it has the advantage of being easy to learn.
At least knights aside, soldiers are essential.
“Are you going to keep your hands?”
No way.
I shook my head.
