I Don’t Want This Reincarnation-Chapter 330

“How about Edward-ssi?”

When I asked a question I was curious about to break the quarrel between Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon, Woo Seo-hyuk answered instead of Cheon Sa-yeon.

“I was informed that he was on the way. The attendant will guide him here as soon as he arrives.”

“Then, we can leave immediately as soon as Edward-ssi comes.”

Edward, who received my offer through Cheon Sa-yeon, said he liked it and had replied that he would definitely attend. I heard that he postponed his other schedule… I was a little embarrassed because it wasn’t a proper meeting that needed to be attended.

“Wow, Woo-jin­-ssi. Are all these ingredients for cooking?”

“Yes.”

“I’m already looking forward to eating the dishes that Woo-jin-ssi made.”

A conversation between Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin could be heard from the kitchen. Kim Woo-jin, who heard that Min Ah-rin healed him even in the midst of difficult times, treated Min Ah-rin with a much more docile attitude than before.

The more I saw Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin, as well as other people talking in the living room, I felt something warm was filling up from deep inside my heart.

As I was standing at the end of the living room and looking at the team members with satisfaction, a white light suddenly appeared next to me.

“……?”

The white light as small as a snowflake soon turned into a big, round oval passage. Soon after, Elohim appeared from beyond the passage through the bright light.

“El?”

“Hello, Se-hyun-ah.”

When I was urprised by the sudden appearance, Elohim, who smiled slightly at me, released Fox he was holding in his arms. Piiik! The sadly crying Fox flew out at once and fell into my arms.

“Fox!”

Piiik! Pik! Piiik!

Fox, who I had been very worried about, had finally returned.

Fox kept crying and hugging me while I was carefully checking to see if there was any pain or if he was okay because he was exposed to the veil energy.

“The child misses you so much, so I brought him here even though it’s a little early. His body is all better, but he needs a little more rest, so please let him rest by your side.”

“Thank you. How about you, El?”

“Well… I’m similar to that kid. It’s not bad.”

It was overly simple than when explaining Fox’s condition. It was really not that bad, right?

Even if I looked at him suspiciously, Elohim kept a smiley face. Seriously, it was useless to doubt someone who could clearly see what I was thinking.

“You appeared deliberately.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was looking at us with his arms crossed, intervened with a stiff voice.

“I can’t do that?”

“Your intention is clear, but you’re not ashamed of it.”

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Elohim, who gently responded to Cheon Sa-yeon’s quarrel while walking, looked straight at me and opened his mouth.

“Se-hyun-ah.”

“Yes?”

“As you well know, I have a lot of abilities.”

“Pardon? Ah, yes. That’s right.”

“One of them is to open a passage that leads directly to Cheon Sa-yeon’s house.”

“…what?”

Leaving me in bewilderment, Elohim touched his lips and continued.

“Let’s see. Hm… for the price to open the passage, it will be enough for me to join you in this party. How is it?”

Gasp. I just came to my senses with the word “price”. I never imagined that Elohim would want to join this gathering, so I didn’t know how to respond.

“That, of course, you can come, but… is that just the price I should pay?”

“The weight of the price varies depending on the situation. The distance is close now and it’s not urgent, and there are enough means and ways to get to Cheon Sa-yeon’s house even if it’s not me. An invitation to a party is enough price for opening a passage.”

If that was the case… it seemed good to use the passage that Elohim opened.

Even if it wasn’t for the price, I was willing to invite Elohim if he wanted and I didn’t have to let Ha Tae-heon and Park Geon-ho drive.

“Then please take care of us.”

“I’ll open it when the boy named Edward arrives.”

After Elohim answered, he smiled brightly at Cheon Sa-yeon. Cheon Sa-yeon, who saw it, also smiled annoyedly.

‘Now the two of them are fighting.’

It had been less than 10 minutes since he fought with Ha Tae-heon.

It was then that I sighed quietly. The news came that the waiting guest had arrived.

Not long after the attendant reported to Woo Seo-hyuk, Edward finally came to the room.

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi!”

Edward, who entered the living room with a bow to Woo Seo-hyuk, who opened the front door, smiled brightly and ran to me when his eyes met mine.

“Welcome, Edward-ssi.”

When I opened my arms just in time, Edward gave me a hug without hesitation. I had a feeling that somehow this was similar when Fox that had been handed to me earlier.

“Thank you for inviting me to the party!”

“……”

It was a meeting made with the hope that the team members who growled whenever they made eye contact would get to know each other even a little bit, but as everyone showed such reactions, I didn’t know how to react.

“Haha… you helped us, of course, we should invite you.”

When I gave the easiest answer with an awkward smile, Edward’s big eyes began to twinkle as if he was moved.

Um, I’m screwed.

* * *

We arrived directly into the living room of Cheon Sa-yeon’s house through the passage opened by Elohim and immediately started preparing for the party.

Two tables were attached to the widest living room and the wine bottles that Park Geon-ho brought were displayed on them. Kim Woo-jin started cooking in the kitchen.

It was difficult for Kim Woo-jin to prepare food for several people alone and there was also young Edward, so we ordered additional chicken and pizza. I was going to give Edward a normal drink instead of alcohol.

Elohim, who had been pacing around the kitchen and watching Kim Woo-jin with interest, tilted his head slightly.

“You are making more diverse dishes than I expected.”

“Is that so?”

I could only see Kim Woo-jin, who was still refining the ingredients, but Elohim knew all the thoughts he was thinking, so it was like watching a preview of the dish to be completed later.

“Hm, can I help you?”

“El?”

“Of course, it’s difficult to cook something with meat in it, but… salad or pasta is okay.”

“You can do it if you want to.”

It was funny that Kim Woo-jin gave this permission with the ingredients that he bought to Cheon Sa-yeon’s kitchen, but neither of them were interested, so there was nothing I could do.

“I’m in a situation where I’m suddenly stepped in, so I’m not responsible for one or two dishes.”

Elohim, who was contemplating, eventually went into the kitchen. Kim Woo-jin, who was slicing the onion, glanced at Elohim for a while, but immediately lost interest and continued cutting the onion. I knew it would happen.

After leaving the kitchen to the two of them, I went back to the living room and in the meantime, the number of wine bottles on the table increased. Why the hell did you buy so much alcohol? There was even vodka, whiskey, and liquor. Are you trying to kill someone?

Ha Tae-heon, who had gone into the room for a while to talk on the phone, came out after me, who had been mesmerized by more bottles than I expected. I thought it was a call about guild work.

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi, are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“I think I shouldn’t ask you to come over while you were busy.”

“There’s no reason for me to be busy when Master Requiem plays like that.”

That… that’s right.

Ha Tae-heon, who walked over to me, picked up a bottle of wine that glowed in yellow.

“Come to think of it, I’m curious.”

“Yes?”

“How much can you drink?”

How much I could drink. Should I just say it based on Han Yi-gyeol’s body?

“Probably less than one bottle of soju.”

After becoming Han Yi-gyeol, I drank properly only once. I was drunk back then, but when I woke up, I could remember because I wasn’t too drunk.

‘If I get drunk properly, my memory becomes vague…’

Although the amount of alcohol I could drink was weaker than when I was Kwon Se-hyun, my drinking habits were the same. It was difficult to be sure because I had too little experience in drinking to guess.

“What about the other body?”

“If it’s a different body… are you talking about my original body?”

“Yeah. Did small things like how much you can drink alcohol change?”

“Yes. I probably drink better than Han Yi-gyeol. Because it was my job, too.”

In my response, Ha Tae-heon nodded with an expression of understanding whether he remembered Kwon Se-hyun whom he had met in the space.

“Then it means you will become drunk with only a bottle of soju now.”

“That’s true, but I’m not really sure about that either. Since I came here, I haven’t had any experience of drinking properly. Maybe I will know how much I can drink alcohol today.”

“Do you have any drinking habits?”

“Um…”

A guess of drinking habits. Of course, there is. Because the image of me trying to take off my clothes because it was hot in front of Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk was still vivid in my mind.

‘If I get drunk and do the same thing as back then…’

I might die of embarrassment. There were many eyes here and there were Min Ah-rin, a woman, and Edward, a child. If I got drunk and took my clothes off in front of these two… what a scandalous was that.

Never get drunk. I’m in good condition today, so if I thoroughly controlled it while drinking beer, such a terrible accident wouldn’t happen.

With a firm mind, I searched hard to find a beer bottle standing amongst the densely lined wine bottles. However, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find the drink I was looking for.

‘What? Why is there no beer?’

Soju, soju, liquor, vodka, whiskey, liquor, vodka… Are you crazy?

“I couldn’t see any beer either.”

Ha Tae-heon, who was silently watching me rummaging through the bottle and in astonishment, threw a word. If Ha Tae-heon was saying the same thing, it wasn’t that I couldn’t find it, it was that it really wasn’t there.

“Team Leader Park Geon-ho, are you crazy?”

“Um?”

Just in time, when I asked Park Geon-ho, who was walking towards the living room with a gangster-like walk after receiving the delivered food, he opened his eyes wide.

“Well, I can’t say for sure it’s normal.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, how could you bring alcohol like this? What about people who are weak in alcohol?”

“Um…?”

When I pointed my finger at the bottle full of alcohol and protested, Park Geon-ho, who touched the corner of his mouth with a strange expression, tilted his head.

“I did prepare for people who are weak in alcohol?”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Look, there’s soju here.”

“……”

Park Geon-ho’s behaviour, proudly pointing at the soju bottle, made me speechless.

“No… how is soju a drink for people who are weak in alcohol? At least a beer…”

“Beer? Is there anyone who wants to drink beer? Last time I saw at Kwon Se-hyun-ssi’s store, Healer Min Ah-rin only drank soju well. We can give Producer Edward a normal drink… ah.”

Park Geon-ho, who had been talking in bewilderment, soon met my eyes and bit his lip. Then he put a large hand on my shoulder and smiled refreshingly.

“Then we can give our Talented Han Yi-gyeol a special soju with cola. In a 5:5 ratio! Will it be okay?”

“…I’m giving up.”

He didn’t help at all.
