Chapter 16 – Pentecost
It was one day before the Feast of Five Blessings.
The Day of Five Blessings was a tradition of the people of this region to pray for five blessings to the ancestors.
Hundreds of years have passed since the Church became a state church, but honoring ancestors and wishing for blessings was the life itself of farmers, fishermen, and even the people.
The Day of Pentecost was one of the 15 holidays set by imperial decree, and it was one of only two holidays, excluding the birthdays of successive emperors.
Considering that the other one is a Thanksgiving Day to give thanks to the Earth Mother after the harvest season and to honor the well-being of the following year, you will know that the value of the Five Bok’s Day is considerable for farmers.
Well, roughly, it’s like New Year’s Day or Dano in Korea.
The five blessings prayed for on the Day of Pentecost meant longevity, wealth, health, virtue, and happiness, but I sometimes thought that there were so many things I wished for that I wondered if anyone actually satisfies these five things.
Anyway, since it is a day when people take a break from working in the fields and take a rest, it was a tradition to have a feast, eat a lot, drink alcohol, and go to the riverside to wash one’s face.
Seojun was aiming for this very day.
It was an opportunity to make fun of the gangsters in the next town and create a corner that would cause a slight crack in Lily’s heart.
“It···. You must give it back.”
Lily was glaring at Seojun with teary eyes.
The two of them were standing on a hill in the setting sun. Seo-jun is sitting with his back leaning against the back of a tree, and Lily is standing far away and staring at Seo-jun.
In Seo-jun’s hand was a necklace with a red stone on it.
[Soft and fluffy view: haha]
[Poopy Villain: What is the Quest haha]
[A bowl of high school girl pee ramen rice: Lily’s pussy snatching ep.1 haha]
[Married woman’s pubic hair protection group: haha]
[If you hit rice cake with 1 nose: Ah haha]
[Storm’s Pregnant Transfer Student: Haha, it should be next year haha]
[Pingbo Hunter: Uploading the pants dance again]
Seo-joon shook the necklace in his hand.
I could see Lily’s watery eyes following her tenaciously. Then, as if he knew he was joking, he snorted and clenched his fists.
“Oh, it’s a joke, a joke. Terrible… Don’t worry, I’ll give it back, of course. This isn’t some kind of jewel, who could covet something like this?”
“This, this, this, don’t say it like this…!”
Lily groaned. Seo-jun, frowning because his eardrum hurt, waved his hand to say he knew.
“Anyway, this is a token of trust between us. I’ll return it to you as soon as I’m done tomorrow anyway, so don’t be impatient.”
“Please···! I have to give it back…!”
The teary expression on her face showed how much she cared for this. Seo-joon felt as if he was holding onto her lifeline. Again, the playfulness raised its head, but I decided to do it this way.
Seo-jun had previously explained the plan at the inn.
At that time, Seojun said these words to the three kobung and Lily.
“The Feast of Pentecost is the anniversary. The plan will be shared in detail the day before. The story could leak out, and something else might happen in the meantime. I think the old-fashioned judgment method of an eye for an eye is really right. That’s why you can’t bring a girl from that village and commit a crime, but what crime did she say that girl was…? We’re going to be bad guys too. Hahn, what I planned is to get rid of the lives of the cubs. Don’t kill You just have to make them realize that if they do bad things, they will be punished. So that it will never happen again.”
Everyone shook their heads as if they agreed with Seo-joon’s words.
The essence of the plan was to lure them into a trap with an attractive woman. As they were the ones who raped Maria before, they would easily be swayed by sexual desire. There’s no way those who have already done it once can’t do it twice.
In any case, the plan was right for Lily, the most beautiful girl in town.
When Stern first heard about it, she screamed, “Absolutely no,” But in the end, the choice was left to Lily herself.
After pondering for a moment, Lily asked Seo-joon.
“What if I don’t? What are you going to do…?”
“If you’re that scared, it’s okay if you don’t. Someone other than you will do it.”
“Who but me…?”
“Monica. Because he’s the prettiest kid after you. Maybe it’s dangerous He knows that too. It seems like you’ve already made up your mind.”
Lily, who was worried about Seo-joon’s words with her mouth shut and her light brown hair hanging down, nodded her head saying that she would say in a few minutes.
“I will.”
So it was now.
As it was the day before her Obok Festival, Seo-joon told her about her plans in detail. She was formidably important not only for Lily, but also for the other three. They have already put language in it.
Guys will drug the liquor they drink. It might cause aftereffects such as dizziness and vomiting, but if you’re a man, it’ll make you feel so itchy that you can’t help but fuck it. Even more so, when he saw Lily, he said everything.
The medicine was purchased directly by Seo-joon at the [Coin Shop]. Since it is expensive, it would be better to get sponsored if possible, but bastards who are good at spending money on women always behaved rudely at times like this.
The name of the medicine is [Lesser estrous drug for men]. It was of low quality, and because it was for men, the price was only 100 coins. Compared to women’s, the cheapest one is close to 500 coins.
Still, the coin price will do well. There was no need to doubt the effect since it was none other than a [Coin Shop] Item.
“Are you nervous?”
When Seo-jun asked, Lily bit her lip.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous… Still, Lily didn’t want to show her timidity. Especially in front of this rogue alley manager…
“Done. Don’t you have anything more to say? I want to go.”
“Where? Shall we eat at Uncle Jack’s together?”
“…If you do, Ian will find out.”
Now that the two of them are dead, Ian will know right away that she is distraught.
If that happens, even if I can’t tell you everything, I’ll be able to tell you part of the plan. Then, if he accidentally heard that Lily had decided to act as a decoy, there was a high probability that Ian would step in and sabotage.
It shouldn’t have happened. It was best he didn’t know at all until the job was done.
“Yes. That’s right. Go carefully.”
“…”
The cheeky bitch, ignoring Seo-jun’s greeting as if it were natural, went down the hill as if he didn’t want to be by Seo-jun’s side even for a moment.
After watching his little head disappear down the hill, Seo-Jun turned his head sideways.
A woman appeared from behind a large willow tree.
“What about Ian?”
“I just met you.”
The identity of the woman was Monica. She didn’t even notice that she was hiding, Lily was completely out of her mind.
“Yes? I asked what Ian said?”
“I like it.”
I had told him to make an appointment to hold on to Ian as soon as the Pentecost celebrations were over.
So Monica must have suggested to Ian that they meet secretly at the end of her feast.
Unlike usual, Ian probably couldn’t respond hastily. Because it was a common tradition to spend the night with lovers after the fifth day of the moon. So, on such a day, there were many cases of getting pregnant suddenly, dragging a bulging belly, and getting married only later.
Ian reluctantly accepts Monica, but she has a crush on Ron Lilly. Of course, the decision won’t be easy.
“Tell me honestly.”
When Seo-Jun asked with a smile, Monica licked her lips a few times and sighed as she answered.
“He seemed to be worried… You seem to be thinking of Lily.”
“I guess so. Even if it were me, I would choose Lily.”
“…”
Seo-joon got up from his seat and brushed his butt. Looking at Monica’s face, he seemed to have a lot to say, but Seo-jun didn’t really want to hear it.
It would be a complaint about my situation, a plea to love me. Seo-jun approached her and brushed the dust off her shoulder. That alone made Monica’s face red.
“Just take care of that day. Huh? Can you?”
“…”
Monica, who was moved by him, looked up at Seo-jun with a half-crying face.
However, when Seo-joon’s expression calmed down, she answered quickly, as if Monica was cool.
“Ha, ha, I can do it…!”
“Yes, how nice it would be if you answered at once.”
Seojun grabbed Monica’s chin and pulled it. She held out her lips, her eyelids twitching in hopes of kissing her, but it was his finger that touched her lips.
Tuk tuk-
Seo-joon, who tapped her lips a couple of times as if scolding her, said, “If you do well tomorrow, think about it…” After saying that, I went down the hill.
Monica sighed as she looked at Jung-in’s indifferent back.
If you do well tomorrow…
A strong wind blew, and her sighs mixed with each other and flew away helplessly.
