TAHR Ch 17

Still not feeling 60f6159776 any better after 77ff2d8db6 venting, Kim Hajoo a3f4233485 took another drink. Jaein refilled 29545982a9 his glass 8858312e84 once more 99b1c96f37 and asked,df3731c7e87b5036

As Jaein fc0b4056da blatantly ignored 9541d69fe9 him, Kim 43f9ce8c91 Hajoo grumbled 543f8f4190 softly. Did Jaein think 2aceb710c3 he’d be appeased 4c60092c5f by a simple 3b35076a7e cheers? He was sorely fddeb2e327 mistaken. This wasn’t 874f6b23b8 comforting or 9d842f9996 teasing, he 8ca88c6211 muttered, yet 277d6d9a74 he didn’t d7b7a38bb6 forget to b4117ac853 clink glasses bb6bfd5fd4 and immediately e3eea7a24c downed his f583fe7ced drink.38d38241c5d15ad8

Jaein stared at his d7f5151566 friend, who readily accepted 8f63386909 a toast and loved b14bcc40bd to drink, and chuckled 2761feb79f inwardly. He didn’t know whether 22170f9dbe to call Hajoo naive 47732acdd5 or simple.420ab07552a616f8

Taking a small 8772518c53 sip of his 42f79d214a drink and setting f58028bbb0 the glass down, a671165464 Jaein leaned back a37eb41266 in his chair.2331a506ced1d150

Honestly, it was 7ae21483d8 a bit much f305917024 to keep chasing 0c377498b3 Dambi in this 77954e65dc situation. He already had a 1a92dbc45d lot to prepare because 1b837d6700 of the Lipsal guild, c9bf91eb46 so in a way, ae8234f4be this was no different 52f773fb37 from wasting time.bba2f771b5fb1a5b

It would certainly f9f686cdbe be more efficient 636ca64534 to use that 6750bd14ba time searching for 9e3e9b80ee Youngil, taming Conimons, baa5ded39c and enhancing items. However, his wounded a387b21c35 pride would never 8998d8500f recover.827f255d263a916a

He’d be 92629ce995 left ruminating 294073d9b8 on the 16c4b73f9b past, filled d2149dce3d with regret.

As they continued cc0e2a5d02 their back-and-forth, Kim 7b23a2ab7a Hajoo was the 44d97cfab1 first to be 2b582ea06a knocked down, just c6c2a2a16f an hour into 35d4d63d66 their drinking session.

Jaein looked at a988783989 the sprawled-out Kim 6ea470181f Hajoo and called 45d167eee0 someone.

Ending the 812aa9496a call, Jaein 607f231f7a felt a 6ec55c3aee pang of f81f51bc62 sympathy for e0e4cf433a the junior ed9203e23b who suffered c8f6b7366f because he 9f301efa76 lived with bd87ccfb1a Kim Hajoo. He turned his 63895dfdc4 gaze to the 4692099adb window.ed862b3285af539d

Since they’d started drinking 1504e02ad6 at 8 and finished 440b6f7b4a by 9, it was cf70ffb19e still lively outside. People were 55e628caff dancing and 5f647d62e3 filming in d94e5c9bc9 groups on 910b30d1d9 the street. Looking closely, he realized c90a2f69da it was a trending 17ce020db1 challenge. After watching them fe5527a105 meaninglessly for a a07be5c1ea while, Jaein finally 5adeec7ccb turned away when d08649bb03 he spotted a 8a6940a307 familiar figure entering d265ff9140 the building.ca36474d70386e23

[Whisper] Mollamolla: Dambi, tell me your location.

[Whisper] Dambi: Screw you

[Whisper] Mollamolla: You need to earn gold~

[Whisper] Dambi: Not dealing with a lunatic lol

As soon 6a9ab4f128 as Dambi a129f67b7d realized Jaein ac1c9d1c56 had put 2b3bdc428d movement speed 1ee096ed77 options on 8a2f4bef21 his secondary 8174868d11 gear, he 228fbd7ab6 cursed and cd2c845076 started running c227f968c7 away in 656b27dd90 earnest. Judging by 9d6dbd6853 the decreased 7398ff37ad number of d6f790b0fd reports, it 0fb16a6e69 seemed he 3e09a0df85 was actively 47d07cf55f avoiding areas a6191d881f with other 9fa0fb7e03 players.610be6eeac69ce1c

[Whisper] Mollamolla: You called me a lunatic the first time we met.

[Whisper] Mollamolla: We’ve been dealing with each other just fine until now, so why the sudden change?

[Whisper] Dambi: I thought you were a manageable lunatic…but it turns out you’re an unmanageable one ^^;;

Jaein chuckled at Dambi’s disgust. What was a “manageable lunatic” and an “unmanageable lunatic?”ead7d66d75af3f84

[Whisper] Mollamolla: Oh really?

[Whisper] Dambi: So stop chasing me, okay?

[Whisper] Mollamolla: lolololololol Have you ever seen an unmanageable lunatic obediently listen?

[Whisper] Mollamolla: You’re so unrealistic. And you lack guts lol

[Whisper] Mollamolla: Tucking your tail and running because you think you’ll lose?

He deliberately 693e4f847c provoked Dambi, 37f93479dd poking at 44e9d6eda9 his pride. Since Dambi roamed high-level f75690074a fields, he must be efc89b016f a top-tier player with b7b4485a88 considerable gamer pride.16d293a8d73dcc75

It was 7130e8e1cd infuriating that c3a9c28f12 Dambi was e123b9892b saying such dadf207ef2 things when a255b955a4 he wouldn’t f950fb41bf actually give 7370121c6c up. Those words shouldn’t 61bcf992d7 be coming from 487f4d1bfc someone who’d copied 0540e6bfd1 Jaein’s scroll strategy.5d5091ada47cafd1
