Chapter 107 – Drinking and Dancing
After leaving the house, we headed to my favorite bar.
To be precise, it is a high-end bar where you can drink and drink and do yas, but since this place is mainly for VIPs, the security is basically extremely thorough.
In other words, if you drink here, you don’t have to pay attention to other people.
Current time 6:30 PM.
It’s the perfect time for a drink.
I said to Dorothea and Vanessa, who were bewildered by the flashy store sign.
“This is my favorite place.”
Then Dorothea frowned and said,
“This is Changgwan.”
“To be precise, ‘women’ are also sold. Are there a lot of people who just drink alcohol in a healthy way?”
I knocked on the tightly closed shop door.
Then a person came out from inside.
It was Maria, the madam here.
“Oh, oppa? It’s been a while?”
“I’ve been away from the capital for a while on work.”
Maria didn’t know that I was the heir to the Emerald Tower and the mage of the warrior party, Kaldrash.
It was because there was no need to divulge my personal information while out drinking.
Maybe she knows me as a rich kid?
If I combine the money I sow here, I could buy a decent mansion.
After hearing my answer, Maria opened the door with a smile.
Upon entering, we are greeted by a hall with a fairly calm atmosphere, unlike the fancy exterior.
Perhaps because it was not yet time to open, the store was quiet.
Maria, who came in after me, making the sound of high heels, click, click, glanced at Dorothea and Vanessa, her group, and asked me.
“Brother, can you put them in the ladies’ room?”
“Today I just came for a drink.”
As I said that, looking at the two of them, Dorothea spoke confidently.
“Why? Just call me. Let’s have some drinks poured by the pretty sisters.”
“Then one or three… No, put about six. Dom Perignon Tower as a plus.”
When I said that and handed out the bag of gold coins I had brought from her house, a smile bloomed on Maria’s face.
Since opening, customers who will be in charge of sales for the day have come to visit, and it seems that the mood has improved.
“Leave it to us! We’ll pick out only our store’s aces and put them in!”
“Ah, take care of the moderately greasy side dishes. We all came on an empty stomach.”
“I’ll just serve you a full course!”
I followed Maria’s eloquent guidance and entered the huge guest room.
Originally, it is a room that can accommodate up to 20 people, but originally, it is a national rule to use such a place widely.
After sitting on the long sofa and waiting for a while, the room door opened left and right, and a champagne tower made by stacking champagne glasses in a pyramid shape entered the room.
Dorothea and Vanessa, seeing the spectacle right in front of them, burst into admiration.
Whoops, it’s still too early to admire.
Six ladies who came in one after another with the madam greet us.
Then, he shook the champagne bottle in his hand and turned the bottleneck toward the sky.
Pong!
The cork is ejected with a cheerful sound, and champagne flows like lava from top to bottom, filling empty glasses.
This is the famous Dom Perignon tower of this shop.
Seeing the Dom Perignon Tower for the first time, Dorothea and Vanessa clapped for a long time, probably falling in love with the overwhelming performance.
Madame Maria watched it graciously, and when her eyes met hers, she winked slightly and left.
Now that the plates have been laid, it’s my turn to lead the atmosphere.
“Shall we start.”
I rolled up my sleeves, twisted my wrists, and muttered that.

“Okay, are you going in?”
Bang!!
Charleureuk!
When I hit my head on the table, the shock knocked the whiskey glass from the top of the champagne glass.
As a result, the mixture of champagne and whiskey completes the unique flavor of Pokkokju.
My drinking tricks didn’t stop there.
“Look carefully.”
I covered the opening of the glass with a handkerchief I took out of my bosom, and then turned the champagne glass around.
Normally, it would seem that all the alcohol would spill out this way, but this is not the case because of the centrifugal force.
When you think you’ve mixed enough, set it down on the table and add a slice of lemon to the rim of the glass as a finishing touch.
“Now, this is our pretty girl.”
“Oh my! Oh my! This oppa is a complete player!”
Girls in risky outfits that I like laughing and laughing.
I smiled happily when I saw that and started making another bomb liquor.
This time, he puts a whiskey glass inside a beer glass, pours cherry liqueur instead of whiskey, and then pours beer over it.
It’s a slightly sweet poktanju with liqueur instead of whiskey, but there was something special about this guy.
“Calling Light.”
It’s a simple first-tier magic, but there’s nothing like this to lighten the mood at a drinking party.
The light shimmers inside the crystal beer glass, glowing mysteriously in scarlet.
This is a different world-style sunrise wine.
“This is the drink sent by the gentleman over there.”
I handed the finished drink to Dorothea, who was sitting across from me, pretending to be a bartender.
Dorothea, who was already drunk, grinned and raised her glass, probably because it looked like her hair color even at a glance, and it was as pretty as the setting sun.
“Patrasch, you’re quite right on the subject?”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“One shot! One shot! One shot! One shot!”
Thanks to the response of the other girls, Dorothea drinks a large amount of alcohol at once.
“Geuuuuu…!”
After confirming that the ladies sitting next to her were giving her snacks, this time, they decided to make bombshell liquor for Vanessa to eat.
It is a beer cocktail that mixes dark beer with ale beer as a base.
It takes a bit of work, but the recipe isn’t that difficult, so I was able to make it right away.
The ale goes down, the dark beer goes up, and Vanessa, who received the explosive liquor of a distinctly different color, looks curiously into the crystal glass.
When I urged her to try it quickly, she drank the bomb liquor with a half-doubt on her face.
“Is it just a beer mixed taste?”
“Because it’s made with beer.”
As I said that, I shrugged her shoulders, and Vanessa said that too- and she continued to empty her glass.
It was the first time I’d had a drink with two people like this, so I was in high spirits.
In fact, liking drinking, singing, and dancing is a basic characteristic of Koreans.
And it’s been quite a while since I’ve been able to relax like this with people I’m happy to be with.
Was the last time you had fun on the Eastern Front?
My head wasn’t working well because I had drank a lot while making the bombangju, but I raised a new glass, thinking that maybe the time would be right.
Then, Dorothea, Vanessa, and six other girls raised their champagne glasses above their heads, while Dom Perignon was slicking at the same time with blushing faces.
I exclaimed excitedly in that state.
“Let’s eat and die today!”
… This was the last memory I remember.
***
When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar ceiling.
Perhaps someone brought me home after drinking too much alcohol last night.
“Ugh… Heavy…”
Wearing only a pair of boxer shorts, I wandered down the first floor like a zombie looking for water.
Boggle! Boggle! Boggle!
There was already a passenger in the kitchen, but I quickly recognized who it was.
“Vanessa?”
“Oh, are you awake already? Wait a minute. It will be finished soon.”
While saying that, Vanessa turned around and saw that she was wearing an apron.
Maybe it’s because she’s dressed in plain clothes, not armor, and somehow it gives off an atmosphere like a newlyweds in a newlyweds’ house.
Perhaps it was prepared in advance for when Dorothea and I woke up, the water bottle and glass were already on the table, so I drank thankfully.
“Big…”
Only then did my burning thirst subside, and I asked Vanessa, who was cooking with a brown ponytail.
“You unexpectedly know how to cook?”
Then Vanessa responded with her back turned to me.
“I’m a woman too. I know how to cook simple dishes.”
“Well, Dorothea, who makes charcoal soot for every dish she cooks, must be strange.”
Dorothea had quite extreme tendencies when it came to cooking.
The point was that it was cooked over high heat unconditionally.
I gave him advice once or twice when we were together on the eastern front, but after seeing that nothing was fixed, I raised my hands and feet.
Maybe he burned it on purpose because he didn’t want to cook, but the truth would only be known by the person sleeping on the second floor.
Not long after we started waiting, Vanessa delivered a bowl of red soup.
I looked at Vanessa with an expression of hope for an explanation at the appearance of the mysterious food, and then she said with a confident expression.
“It’s a vegetable stew made with tomatoes as the main ingredient. In my hometown, I cooked tomatoes for hangover the day after drinking.”
Only then did I realize that the identity of the red soup was tomato, so I was able to safely eat a large spoonful.
“Huh? Is it delicious?”
“Then do you think I gave you something to eat?”
“No, I was surprised that he is more skilled at cooking than I thought.”
Truly 300 years old.
It seems that he did not age with his form.
As I looked at her with admiration, Vanessa patted me on the back, telling me to eat more, perhaps to hide her embarrassment.
