138 – [3] Just eat alone
#138
“Suddenly?”
Actually, it wasn’t that sudden.
Because I often said things like that.
‘Dongyangin, I grilled a lot of meat. Do you want to eat it together?’
‘Do you have any time left in the evening? I’m thinking of eating together-‘
‘No, it’s nothing special. I was treated with an expensive elixir, but that should be enough.’
It’s like Koreans eating together with Japanese people who claim that the well was poisoned.
Of course, I wasn’t an idiot.
The possibility that someone other than me was poisoned in my unconscious mind.
My danger detection radar, trained through thousands of birds, was warning me of this.
– Americans are poisoned by ramen!
Beep poop pippo.
I had to avoid something like that.
“No, it’s not that sudden. “Let’s just eat together.”
“That was sudden.”
You’re just saying you don’t eat with them?
I don’t know if you have friends or not, but anyway, please have a meal with your friends.
But Ines’ eyes were full of regret and earnestness.
That’s why she pulled out her most surefire way to get rid of her.
“What’s more, I have a prior contract now.”
Immediately operated the smartphone and displayed a message that felt like there was a prior promise.
“Who…… Nine?”
“I’ve known you since I was young.”
The only sister I knew here was Su-ah.
Actually, rather than calling her an older sister, I think it would be more appropriate to call her just her grandmother, but she was an older sister anyway because she didn’t like being called that.
And what I showed you now was a message from Su-ah asking to meet later today.
To be honest, I successfully completed the test with the answers I memorized, but it was a bit strange that she asked to meet again.
If it weren’t for the older sister she knew, she would have suspected it a long time ago.
She was also a little tired because she had been visiting, talking, and messing with her since the morning.
“Sister…… ?”
“Yes, sister.”
“Uh…… Then the message written here is… ….”
“Just about meeting together.”
As you can see from the word ‘morning’, it was actually a past incident, but fortunately the message was in Korean.
How can a guy from Portugal who can’t even speak Portuguese know Korean?
Ines frowned after hearing my explanation.
“…… Who do you think is a fool? “This is nothing like that!”
“No?”
I turned my phone around and checked the message.
[Thousand Mari: (Just a joke)]
[Cheonmari: (just disgusting)]
[Cheonma-ri: (It’s a funny joke, but it’s disgusting)]
[Thousand: (Photo of green frog moving and waving)]
[A thousand birds: (Photo of a green frog having fun)]
[Thousand: (Photo of a green frog throwing a punch)]
[1,000 Horses: ㅎㅇ]
[Cheonmari: It’s raining, so why not eat ramen with kimchi outside in the rain?]
[Cheonmari: If only you come, it will be difficult]
Wait a minute, that’s not it.
This kid is not my sister.
I was shocked and closed the message with Cheonmari.
Then, I secretly noticed Ines’s gaze.
“Uh…… This person is not that person…… She’s a girlfriend I know…….”
“Girlfriend?!”
What a surprise.
Why are you surprised that the word ‘acquainted girlfriend’ is so serious?
“A girlfriend I know. “Just a girlfriend.”
“No, a woman is sending something like that to a man?”
I see.
I’m also amazed at this guy who sends things like that.

“The kid’s mental state is a bit strange.”
“Looking at the picture you posted, it seems like that.”
I would be glad if you could at least understand it that way.
Actually, that side is not that normal either.
“Anyway, I looked. “This guy also wants to meet us for dinner.”
It wasn’t a prior promise, but in terms of priorities, it was close to the front.
Ines’ proposal is a justification worthy of being proudly rejected.
When I looked at her face on the other side, I saw that she was biting her lip slightly.
I was not only nervous, but I felt like my heart was weakening due to a strange glimpse of pity.
What’s more, I felt that way even more because I was the one inciting hateful pictures.
If this had been a blind date, a fling, or a meeting with an ambiguous friend, I would have been beaten a long time ago.
“Ha, wait a minute.”
I had no choice but to make a decision.
I immediately called the woman who abandoned me.
– “Oh, Gangsi~ It’s raining right now, but we’re having dinner on the rooftop together―”
“You look so calm even after putting something like that up.”
– “Oh, isn’t that something that can happen between us? No, how could I not pull pranks like that when I have a childhood friend like this?”
“You just eat alone.”
– “Eh? Is it Gangshi?! Jiangxi! No, Sian! “I’m sorry”
Suddenly.
You have to try this to know if it is poop or soybean paste.
I sighed and looked at Ines.
“For now, I decided not to make any plans with that strange guy.”
“Uh…… “Would you like to have dinner with me?”
“Yes, I have to do that even if it’s because I’m sorry.”
The eyes of the discriminator became very bright.
“Then what did you say about having a prior agreement?”
“You can just say later that there were appropriate circumstances. “I’m not the type of person who can’t understand that much.”
It would be a bit difficult to reveal that it was a lie, so I explained it this way.
Ines seemed even more restless, perhaps moved by my attitude.
It could be because I like it.
It could be because I’m nervous.
No matter what it was, it was an element that could harm me.
That’s why I narrowed my eyes coldly.
“I’m just saying this just in case. “Don’t put poison in your ramen.”
“What! There is no way I would show such shamelessness!”
What you’ve done to me so far is shameless enough.

As soon as Ines arrived home, she smiled and started making ramen.
She wanted to feed me ramen so badly that she even shook her butt a little.
“A ramen that a nerd would like…” ….”
“I told you not to call me a slob or a pig.”
And while the other side is working hard to make delicious ramen.
I had the opportunity to take a quick look around her house.
Ines did not specifically give permission.
But that doesn’t mean I have the ability to stop it, so I confidently looked around.
The first sight was her private room.
“… ….”
The sight of the Confederate flag and double-barreled shotgun hanging on the wall, with Dixie power exploding, was truly dizzying.
Not feeling anything worth seeing, she immediately went back.
The second sighting is…… But when I thought about it, there was no place to look around except her private room.
In the end, I returned to the living room and was forced to look around every corner.
I was so bored that I quietly threw away the trash cans.
Of course, I am not saying that I rummaged through it myself.
They say it’s natural for men to be perverts.
I wasn’t a pervert enough to look into a woman’s house like that.
“Huh? What?”
But there was a strange poster-like thing left crumpled and thrown away.
I took out a poster from the trash can and unfolded it, thinking that at least one would be fine.
[Hunting competition with freshmen!]
Freshman, hunting, competition.
I could tell what the event was just by looking at the title.
“Hmm, it looks like they’re holding a hunting competition for freshmen only.”
It feels even more like this when you look at the picture of a monster and a person fighting.
I looked at the letters in front of the picture one by one.
[The midterm exams are over. Aren’t you very bored?]
[Aren’t you bored with your life of drinking and being stuck at home?]
[Aren’t you feeling a lot of stress due to studying and assignments?]
“Not really.”
[That is why our ‘Furry Love Student Council’, together with the equipment exchange ‘Artifact Union’, prepared an event for new students.]
[This is a competition to determine the academy’s best hunter, open only to freshmen!]
[This competition will be held on the destroyed Arecibo campus, with the goal of catching the best game in just one day!]
“It’s not that I catch a lot, but I catch the best game…” ….”
The standard was very vague.
If you were simply catching a lot of monsters, all you had to do was cut off a lot of monster heads.
However, the best game could vary depending on human subjectivity.
Although each monster had a grade, it could not be a detailed indicator.
If there were a large number of teams that had immediately captured Class B monsters, it was safe to say that subsequent determination would be in the hands of humans.
So, if you want to aim for first place, you might feel a bit stressed.
“Let’s just hit Sam and go out.”
However, as long as it wasn’t first place, it looked pretty good.
It feels like the perfect place to enjoy youth and make memories.
I feel like I can leave an even more memorable experience with Cheonma-ri and Shannon.
You may ask what kind of memories you have from coming to the academy, but honestly, when else would you enjoy it?
I was only 20 years old, but I felt so sorry for focusing only on my studies and future.
Because of this, my mind moved quickly.
I turned the poster over, thinking it would be okay.
“Let’s look at the back…… “It’s about the product and precautions.”
What was surprising was that the number of products themselves was quite large.
I don’t know if it was because of the large number of students at the academy, but it seemed like even if I only got a middle rank, I would just get a break.
We stopped looking for mid-tier products and immediately shifted our attention to top-tier products.
Soon, some rather unusual magic items caught my eye.
“The first prize is…… A magic conch shell and a mysterious fursuit…… The second place prize is just a talking sword…… The third place prize is…… Huh?”
Huh?
Wait a minute, why is this here?
