Chapter 535 – Chapter 535 Mind, Body, and Soul
I was amazed as I entered the cafeteria.
‘I’ve been there before, but seeing it again is amazing.’
I couldn’t help but be amazed.
The cafeteria included in the 5th grade facility was on a different level from the normal cafeteria I was thinking of.
I even used the modern consulate and the medieval school cafeteria in Stra.
Both of them had such excellent facilities that they could claim to be at least a top-five restaurant in their world.
The consulate cafeteria is equipped with great facilities as there are heroes who are treated the best in the world and newcomers to such heroes.
Even though it was a medieval style, I was able to give a plus score in that I could feel the old-fashioned feeling that cannot be felt in modern times.
However, as of today, in my mind, the ratings of restaurants in the consulate and Strasse have no choice but to go down one notch.
“I want to be here for the rest of my life, not just for a week.”
“Heh….”
Strong I entered the restaurant with a sneer of her pride at me.
‘That’s awful… Do you like it or hate it….’
He seems to hate it when he sees him having sex with Kang Han-cheol, but it didn’t feel like he just hated this place.
The Kanghan I I saw in Shiho’s dream came out as a woman whose true intentions were unknown.
She occasionally lends her body out of possession, but she only lends her body to the end.
Shiho had never carelessly examined her memories of her strong me.
It didn’t seem like he had a bad relationship with Shiho, though.
Because when he talked to Shiho, he had a happy expression again.
‘Well, I’m going to look into my inner feelings later… Let’s eat something first.’
The way to eat was simple.
Once you are seated, you order your dish on the screen at the table.
Then, the order list is transmitted to the inside of the restaurant, and the dish is served to the table as soon as it is completed.
No one was present during this whole process.
It was only handled by the cafeteria’s internal network and machines.
‘Now then, shall we arrange a seat?’
My seat has already been set.
Strong I walked away from me and she sat down at a round table as if she had already arranged her seat.
A situation where some people are already seated.
I went to the seat, showing off my strength, shamelessness, and sat right next to Kang Han-na.
“….”
It was a real moment.
It was just a moment, but Kang Han-na looked at me with an expression full of disgust.
However, Kang Han Na’s expression rather gave me a taste of the sweetness and spiciness of the chili sauce at the same time.
‘I wanted to see that expression.’
Strong I restored her expression and she smiled.
“Did I explain how to use the restaurant? You don’t have to stick to it like a child.”
“It is said that one hundred words are worth one thousand words. I want to watch from the side.”
“Oh, it was an explanation that even elementary school students could understand. It’s a pity that you have to see it in action.”
There was a smile on his lips, and poisonous words were spitting out of his mouth.
But with a tongue that’s so poisoned, there’s no way.
“Explanation is inherently difficult. Don’t worry too much about it.”
“….”
I made fun of the tongue by forcing it to be your responsibility for not being able to explain it implicitly.
Kang Han Na smiled, but her brows twitched slightly.
It wasn’t a win, but at least it was a draw.
As the silence fell, the researcher next to him asked Kang Han Na with a questioning expression.
“Who is this? I think I’m seeing you for the first time….”
“He’s the one who came with the lawmakers this time.”
Strong.
Not the legislators, but the legislators.
And not the whole ‘minute’, but the whole ‘person’.
Even though I was accompanied by the lawmakers, Kang Han Na did not express respect for the lawmakers even on the surface.
And what was interesting was the attitude of the people sitting at the same table.
“Huh? Lawmaker? The senator I know? Why all of a sudden?”
“You said it last time. He said he would come after the election.”
“Eh? Was there an election? Did you elect the president?”
“….”
Seeing the absurd expression on my face, she was able to know the reality of this place.
People here paid no attention to the outside world.
Well, not all researchers are like this.
‘The people sitting with me seem to have positions similar to Kang Han Na’s.’
At first glance, the people sitting at the table I was sitting at didn’t look like regular researchers.
At least there was one person who could speak.
“Ah, I remember. Did you say that thanks or something was coming?”
“Yes.”
“Kang Han-na is suffering a lot. I have to face people who know a little about the outside world….”
“It’s okay. Because I love what I do.”
“Then, is this person sitting next to you yours too?”
“Yes.”
The fact that Kang Han-na was at least polite was known through this person.
A researcher who describes the doctor as those people, and the person in front of him as this person….
If there’s something different about Kang Han Na….
“I am the Director of the Body Regeneration Lab.”
“I’m the director of the Musculoskeletal Laboratory.”
“Hey… It’s been a long time since I’ve been outside. I….”
Each of them introduced themselves with a handshake.
It was quite different from Kang Han Na.
It’s just that I’m not interested in the people of Congress or the country, but I don’t feel malicious.
But people should never judge by looking at the outside.
‘They are all senior researchers. Armonia, I’m bored. Let’s see your temperament.’
[All right.]
As several temperament windows floated in front of me, I could see their tendencies.
The overall conclusion I came to was one.
‘Crazy… This isn’t a restaurant by any chance, isn’t this the bottom of hell?’
If Kang Han-na felt a slight lack of humanity, the guys here were beyond that category.
I was confident that I had seen quite a few crazy temperaments, but as of today, I decided to completely withdraw.
-[Mutilation perversion], [Self-mutilation perversion], [Human remodeling desire]….-
A temperament beyond human common sense….
-[Necrophilia], [Formicophilia]….-
And the temperament that even makes me sick of it….
One temperament could define all of that.
-[Psychopath]-
To be honest, if I hadn’t looked at that temperament window, I might have mistaken the researchers for benevolent smiles.
Fortunately, the only talent I had was academic talent.
I didn’t have any special talents like magic or swordsmanship, so if I fought, I could kill all the guys here with one finger.
‘It must have been a gathering place for crazy people.’
[I think it’s better to keep your distance. They are rather difficult to build friendships with.]
As Armonia said, they were the ones who would make my life more tiring the more I got to know them.
There was no need to be scared.
First of all, Go Min-tae is behind me, and above all, I am not the one who will be punished for what these guys do to me.
Fortunately, these guys didn’t seem interested in me at all.
After the initial exchange of greetings, Kang Han-na and I only talked about today’s research.
Thanks to their lack of interest, sitting in the same seat didn’t seem to be a problem….
‘Maybe I can sit next to you recklessly next time.’
Kang Han Na was the only one who cared about me.
After sitting next to Kang Han-na and waiting patiently, the machine started putting food on the table where we were sitting.
As I ate the food that arrived, I took a closer look at the temperament window with admiration.
And I knew one thing.
‘Khan Han-na and these guys have something in common.’
-[Obsessive competitive spirit], [Excessive desire to compete], [Jealousy]-
It was the fact that they were people who would open their heads and rush at them if they were provoked.
Even when I saw these crazy people, I couldn’t help but smile.
‘With people like this gathered, how can they laugh and talk?’
It was beyond weird, it was just fun.
And I was curious about one thing. How would these people fight if their heads were opened?
[They’re the kind of people who bet on a game until they win. I think I’ll be tired if I get involved.]
‘You must be tired, but….’
[… ?]
I glanced at Kang Han Na, who was sitting next to her.
Unlike the other researchers, his long hair was uncomfortably long.
I ran my hand through her hair and hung it over her ear, then she calmly ate her food.
Kang Han-na lives as a normal person among these crazy people.
‘I can’t miss the golden opportunity to be involved with Hanna Kang.’
If you get along well with these guys, even Kang Han-na won’t be able to escape easily.

…
Just having a meal together and occasionally making eye contact, the hypnosis gauge goes up.
But it was not enough.
Researchers who slurp even luxurious food without much inspiration….
In this way, I felt like I could fill 100% of my food once I had to eat together all week.
‘What should I do to get involved with these guys…. Yes?’
While looking through the temperament window, I found a type of temperament that stood out.
And that’s from all the people sitting here….
‘Ohh… They say he has a great fighting spirit, so there’s that.’
I smiled and started eating again.
As we ate like that, before we knew it, everyone put down the tableware and started to be satisfied in their own ways.
“Nice… After all, the rice here is the best.”
“The reason I stay here is because of the rice. If it wasn’t for the taste of food here, you would have committed murder outside, right?”
“Me too, me too~”
Bloody stories mixed with sincerity and jokes came and went.
In the meantime, one person first cast a radiance in his eyes, then opened his mouth to look at the people sitting at the table.
“Are you having a drink today?”
At those words, there was a sudden silence, and then the corners of their mouths were raised and they started talking to each other.
“Of course.”
“Do I really have to say that?”
“Let’s hurry. I can’t sleep unless I’m drunk.”
Everyone reacted to the alcohol and created a friendly atmosphere that was incomparable to when they were eating.
Looking at the researchers like me, I smiled.
‘He really went crazy with alcohol.’
-[Alcohol dependence], [Alcoholism], [Per week]….-
The stress of being locked up in a lab? Or just a drink lover? Or is it an obsession due to excessive competition?
I don’t know exactly, but all of the researchers present had alcohol-related dispositions.
It was the moment when everyone made an appointment for a drink as usual.
One of the researchers readily began to ask me.
“Oh, do you like alcohol too?”
By the way, this bastard with a sad smile is [Necrophilia], A guy with a corpse-loving temperament.
I replied that I didn’t care about temperament as much as possible.
“Oh, me? I like to drink too.”
“Five! Would you like a drink then!?”
“Oh, good!”
When I smiled brightly and slightly hinted at participating in the drinking party, Kang Han Na, who was next to me, frowned and waved her hand.
“Don’t solicit this person. This person is a normal person. If you sit with us….”
“I’m fine. Could it be that you are an outsider?”
Strong at my question, I chuckled, and she opened her mouth as she looked at me with a sneer and a seductive smile.
“I am saying it for you. If the people here are drinking… You can’t even get up tomorrow.”
“Hmm? That drink is really strong, so it’s okay.”
“Pu-huh! Oh, excuse me….”
Strong, I sneered her snort at my words and hardened her expression again.
And Kang Han Na wasn’t the only one who reacted to my words.
“You said you would be here for a week, right? A new person after a long time!?”
“Kuh~ I got tired of being the same member every time.”
“How many days shall we go this time?”
“I have three days.”
“Cheer up! I think I’m going to drink it all day and take it off right away?”
“Let’s bet on this!”
Everyone suddenly bet money and started betting how long I would last.
However, the amount in their mouth was not just a bet.
“Now, then, ten thousand won a day again?”
“It’s just fine. I hope you can hold out a little longer this time.”
The bet was simple.
First of all, each of the people here sets the date I’m expected to last.
And the person who accurately met the date I endured will receive the amount multiplied by that date and 10 million won from all members.
‘It’s not just a crazy level of competitive desire. Isn’t this just gambling addiction?’
[There is a person who has a gambling addiction in his temperament.]
‘It’s a den of madmen. I didn’t say I’d go tomorrow too.’
Just as everyone was looking at me and making bets, it was Kang Han Na’s turn.
“How many days has Kang Han-na been?”
“… I’m going to get out of the drinking party this week. I have to deal with lawmakers for a week.”
“Wow, this is the first time Kang Han-na has taken off something like this. Well, I can’t help it.”
It didn’t seem like everyone cared too much.
They are only interested in drinking parties and betting that they will participate in….
But I couldn’t help but be concerned.
‘I’m going to drink with crazy people because of Kang Han-na, but I can’t just let it go.’
[Would you like to hypnotize me? However, Kang Han-na’s will seems solid now, so it won’t be easy.]
Kang Han-na said she would step out of work because of work.
However, Kang Han-na’s temperament also had a temperament related to alcohol.
-[Drinking sake]-
Like Min Ha-yeon, she was the type who liked to drink.
That’s how she made up her mind and refused her drinking party.
As Armonia said, it seemed that it would not come easily even if hypnotized.
‘I don’t think hypnosis will work. I have to use magic.’
[… ?]
I chanted a spell to invite Kang Han-na to her drinking party.
“Choo?”
