Chapter 140 – Where the Bet Goes
“…”
Marjorie, arms folded, leaned back against the back of the chair- and glanced at Seo-joon’s handsome face.
His shaggy hair, which had covered half of his face, was cut off coolly, revealing his nobleman-like face.
Dark eyebrows, long eyelashes like a sunshade, eyes that were sharply torn to the side, and deep black eyes inside. A sharp nose, sharp jawline, straight limbs, and bulging thread veins on the back of the hand…
If she hadn’t decided to live her life as a mercenary-, as a soldier… Had she by then had had at least a little of her woman’s heart, she might have gone berserk in her smug face.
As for Seo-jun’s face, there was no denying that it suited her taste.
There was a time when I was a girl, no matter how much I was a slob.
She was an innocent girl who liked pretty and cute things- and fantasized about her first love, first kiss, and first experience with a wonderful knight.
Perhaps, if she had been her in those days, she would have gone over it-as soon as she saw Seo-joon’s face-she might have followed him around. She married him, so she might have imagined every day that she would give birth to a child and live with him.
But not now.
To her now, her red fox Margery, Seo-joon was just her junior in the mercenary industry, and now her prospective supernova who defeated her by force in the subject of her wooden plaque mercenary who just came to Seoul…
There was no crush as a member of the opposite sex. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!
What was important right now was not those things.
To change the heart of this cheeky bastard -. It was to nullify the bet I made with Seo-joon yesterday.
The condition that Seo-joon put forward was to do one request together, but in reality, the content would vary greatly depending on what kind of request Seo-joon was taking on.
If at all, this cheeky guy pretends to be crazy – if he asks to subdue the dead in the north, Marjorie will have to go all the way to the north. Even as a porter…!
It would take three months just to go back and forth. It will be a series of days when life is at stake.
Absolutely not.
How many members of her family do she have? There were at least twelve of them.
Twelve mercenaries are sitting there looking at her alone, but with those children born from her breasts who are no different from my own, how could I enter a rookie mercenary corps that doesn’t even look like a mercenary army and serve as her servants…?
That said, I couldn’t just ask for a bet that didn’t happen.
If the only people who knew about this bet were Seo-Jun and Margery, what-I could have somehow smoothed it over, but rumors that she lost her wrestling bet to a rookie mercenary had already dug into the city.
On the way to this inn just now, a couple of ruffians clung to Marjorie like dung flies and flirted with her, so she didn’t shake off the corn.
If the contents of the bet go as far as acting as a porter, if you do more in the future, it will be more-not less.
So, Margery presented a condition to Seo-joon.
I’ll give you twenty-five silver coins, so let’s pretend we didn’t wager with this.
When she said that, Seo-joon just laughed and started to eat the soup.
For a long time, without a single answer-. Opening his mouth, he is eating only soup. Enjoy the taste of the soup in your mouth very leisurely…
“Iyaa-my sister, is this really good? Are you sure the food here is really good?”
“…”
As if she didn’t need an answer in the first place, Seo-joon opened his mouth again and put in a large mouthful of soup and chewed it down before swallowing it.
He tore off a piece of bread that came with it and dipped it in and ate it, saying that this is it- that corn must have been born and raised in the middle of the country-, that otherwise it couldn’t have such a deep taste-, and all sorts of useless words.
After talking about that, I opened another spoon. Whooping- blow the heat through your mouth and eat it well.
Biting the inside of his cheek- Marjorie, who had been staring at Seo-joon for a while, tapped the table with the back of her hand.
“···Hey. What do you think of my proposal?”
At Marjorie’s question-, Seo-joon glanced at her green eyes. When her eyes met Seo-jun’s, she immediately trembled here and there -.
Pretending not to be on the surface, but pretending not to be interested in love or dating. It was this year that he was more fragile than anyone else.
Seo-joon pointed at her bowl, flicking her spoon with her grim face. A bowl of soup that hasn’t even been properly scooped yet.
“Hey, talk while you eat. It’ll cool down You must have been hungry from sleeping all day, are you not going to eat?”
“…Eat it or not, I’ll take care of it-. Will you answer me?”
Seo-joon shrugged her shoulders and didn’t answer, but instead took another spoonful of soup. The bottom of her bowl was now visible. Seo-joon stretched out while yawning drowsily.
As he continued to take his time and refused to give a proper answer, Margery’s veins stood out on his forehead.
“Hey, Ha Seo-joon-. Don’t joke around and answer properly. I’m starting to get annoyed.”
Only then did Seojun look straight into her eyes. She raised the corners of her mouth and smirked -.
“What… Is this a suggestion? Not a threat? After bringing dozens of mercenaries like that… Proposal?”
“…They followed them on their own. I told you not to come But I heard you don’t know what other mean things you’ll do-“
“A mean thing…?”
The smile disappeared from Seojun’s face.
Doesn’t that mean Seo-joon beat her because he did her despicable things in the first place-. Stunned at him, she added her quick words.
“I have explained enough. It was a fair bet, a fair match. It’s just- that’s what they said. I’m sure you must have used a mean move…”
Seo-joon burst into a dejected laugh at Margery’s words, and banged the table with his palm! He hit down
That bastard-!
Are you crazy? How dare you do this!
I’d rather cut off his wrists!
At that, the men of the Red Fox Mercenary showed their teeth, put their hands on the handles of their weapons, and jumped up, but managed to sit down thanks to Margery’s intervention.
“… What kind of disrespect is this?”
Marjorie seemed to be in a bad mood this time, and her eyes sank low. However, Seo-joon did not change his expression. Seo-joon speaks quietly in a low voice.
“Look, sister. Did the world seem so easy when those muscular bastards said they were cute?”
“What, what…?”
“My sister has no right to be angry with me. Who is trying to change the bet?”
At Seojun’s words, Marjorie’s eyebrows twitched.
“Eh, I’m not trying to change it at will, I’m asking for your consent…!”
“Truth- what, agree? Are you ignoring me as a rookie wooden mercenary? Is it like that?”
“I’m not ignoring you…”
Bang-!
Once again, I hit her table with the palm of my hand and cut her off, and this time, the mercenaries on the other side stood up in droves. Seojun smiled at him and nodded.
“Look, look. What do you do when you act like a bastard in heat like that, but what kind of consent…? Is this asking for fucking consent? Why don’t you just pull out a knife and stick it to my throat and ask for my consent? Huh···?”
Seojun’s words made sense.
Marjorie groaned and nodded his head in agreement.
Then he got up from the table and approached his mercenaries. Her mercenaries look up at her, her eyes shining like baby birds. She sighed and opened her mouth.
“Hey… Hey guys-.”
“Four! Sister!”
“Should I slit that bastard’s throat!”
“Just say the word and I’ll rip that cocky bastard’s neck out and shove it up his butthole!”
The bloody voices that burst out right away. It seemed that he wanted to get revenge on his sister for daring to cut off her words- for making a cheeky noise at her.
Margery placed the back of her hand on her forehead and was silent for a moment. Sore eyes.
“Whoa- I’m sorry kids, but could you stay out of here…?”
Nooooo much
When asked to leave, the mercenaries become of one mind and look like sad puppies. Seeing the sweaty chicks looking up with tears in their eyes- Seo-joon lost his appetite.
However, in Marjorie’s eyes, it seemed that she was only cute.
Smiling lightly, he patted the men’s shoulders and asked.
“Please. Nothing will happen. Don’t you guys believe me…?”
The mercenaries shook their heads in response to Marjorie’s question—I believe—her head.
Alright, so stay out, the conversation will end soon… After comforting the mercenaries with those words, they pathetically shrugged their shoulders and left the inn helplessly like cattle being led to a slaughterhouse.
Jing-Rang-Jang-Jang-Jang-
Her door closed, and she sighed as she leaned against the door and walked back to Seo-jun.
When we sat down again like that, Seo-jun raised his hand and called for the waitress.
Hurrying from inside – Molly came running. Her face blushed a lot and the lines…
