80 – Drinking Party

Drinking Party

Rai’s living room.

Joshua looks at the two men and women sitting in front of her with a frown on her face.

Rai, sitting on the sofa across from him, is avoiding his gaze as if he has nothing to say.

Melanie sits next to Rai with a satisfied expression, like a cat occupying a warm, sunny spot.

“Do you have any thoughts? s*x in the academy, where you learn, is your head full of s*xual desire?”

“I was just beaten.”

At the accusation of Joshua, who wriggles his eyebrows and makes a stern expression, Rai avoids responsibility by saying that he is not guilty.

Melanie is ignoring anything in front of her with her satisfied face, and Joshua is furious.

“I told you to make rice cakes, but are you really making rice cakes? Outdoor s*x at that? You’re very open-minded, and even give s*x education to the academy students yourself. What would Zeroa or Asran think if they saw it?”

“…… Uh- wouldn’t you be envious?”

“……”

Joshua loses her words at Rai’s answer after thinking for a moment.

At the academy, outdoors, with beauty. Combining the three will complete the male student’s s*x fantasy.

Joshua thinks seriously about the plausible answer, then shakes her head saying that this is not a problem.

“That’s true, but there’s such a thing as education. I mean, an instructor should set an example.”

“Because I was victimized.”

“Congratulations, you crazy b*tch, you’ve achieved the feat of raping the devils of all countries? Look at how shiny your face is, how much energy you’ve sucked.”

Joshua swears, but a satisfied Melanie ignores it as if it doesn’t matter.

It looks like he’s angry, but in fact, Joshua is just kidding. He doesn’t care who Rai is with or where.

As if to disprove him, Cale in an apron brings food from the kitchen, and Joshua immediately grabs a fork and runs at it.

“I’m sorry, I even cooked for you.”

“No. This person should be sorry, Rai-sama has nothing to be sorry for.”

Says Cale, glancing at Joshua, who is inhaling her food.

As soon as he got home, he said he was hungry and ordered Cale to eat. Cale, who is not a direct subordinate assigned to do this kind of work, said that he would borrow the kitchen from Rai as if he was used to it, and he took over the food.

Ray, who buys most of his food from the academy’s cafeteria or outside, wonders why Cale brings food from the empty kitchen.

“I don’t have any materials, so how did you make it?”

“The men around you are running around the streets at night for their reproached superiors.”

“I am happy to have good subordinates who help my superiors.”

Joshua speaks proudly.

In order to carry out dangerous missions such as assassination, escort, and information gathering, intelligence agents trained to cut bones are running around in the middle of the night to find food ingredients.

Keil, who looked at his boss with a pitiful look, went back to the kitchen saying he was going to look at the oven.

“Bring some alcohol. And make something spicy. I don’t like mild food like this.”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

An excellent subordinate who fulfills any request of his superior disappears into the kitchen, and Rai tastes the food Cale brought.

It was made with simple ingredients, but the original taste of the ingredients was well preserved.

I was surprised that it tasted much better than I thought, and Joshua boasted of kale with a smile.

“Isn’t it delicious? Kale is a great subordinate. She can do anything she can’t do: cooking, washing, cleaning, massage, washing dishes.”

“A maid, not a subordinate? Pamper yourself in moderation.”

Perhaps tempted by the smell of food, Melanie also starts eating, and Kale diligently serves food from the kitchen.

At first, the food was made with easily available ingredients, but the intelligence department agents must have been sweating their feet to get the ingredients.

I’m sure he’s cooking by himself, but he brings enough food to fill the fairly spacious tea table.

“Let’s eat together.”

“No. I have to do the dishes and tidy up the kitchen. You can’t mess with the borrowed kitchen.”

Kale refuses Rai’s proposal and disappears back into the kitchen.

Rai, thinking that he is a sincere person, sees Joshua opening a bottle.

“I will run as hard as I can for the first time in a while.”

“I don’t want to eat with you guys.”

“What a cruel thing to say. Melanie is crying again after she did that earlier? Melanie, cry. Cry.”

Melanie, who has a mouth full of Kale’s carefully prepared food, raises her middle finger instead of answering. And yet, seeing her hand out her empty glass, she seems to want her drink too.

With two of the strongest drinkers in the past in front of him, Rai prepares for a hangover and takes a glass.

“Now, let’s toast to a comrade we haven’t seen in a long time, s*x!”

“…… Lai, can I kill that bastard?”

When Melanie lets out a killing blow, Joshua realizes he can’t mess with her anymore and buys her body.

As she drinks with the two of them, Rai thinks of the past.

She cursed the kingdom, but she crossed limbs together to protect it, bathed in her dust and blood as if it were natural for her to survive even if she barely survived.

Joshua and Melanie were always fighting, and old man Juan only giggled and drank with them. Selma didn’t get caught up in the dumb vibes, but she was always around.

Garwin, Jonah, Del… Rai laughs when he thinks of the lieutenants who were by his side.

Since the things of the past are buried in the past, I have no regrets anymore. So she had something to do before she got drunk.

“Joshua. What are you going to make Melanie do?”

“Yes? What are you ordering? Her old mate misses you so much, so she’s patronizing you.”

Ray doesn’t believe Joshua’s words. Facing serious eyes, Joshua laughs mockingly and gulps from the glass in his hand.

“Hey, you’re a heartless person, so you didn’t even look for your subordinates. Shouldn’t you be looking for your subordinates first after you get out of prison? You have to look for them at least out of curiosity to see if they’re doing well or not. But why can’t you find anything? I will not.”

Although he is a slave, he has a lot of freedom, so Rai can seek out his lieutenants if he wants.

Joshua was also a member of the Intelligence Department, so anything was possible if there was willpower.

But he didn’t do anything.

The voice of Joshua, who was always laughing, was angry, perhaps because he was dissatisfied with it.

“I’m Rye Redford now. Elliott doesn’t exist. I’m just seeing you guys for the first time.”

“Don’t f*ck. So how do you deal with the Minister of Information who has s*x with Melanie, whom you’ve never seen before, and even knocks down a flying bird?”

Melanie looks at Joshua in silence.

A member of the Empire from the beginning, he is nothing more than a spy who would not be happy even if he was beaten to death by entering the unit and stealing information.

But Joshua, the spy, is raging for his comrades.

“Doesn’t they care about the people left behind? There’s no Kaylan Kingdom, so we’re useless now? I’m not bringing them because you didn’t find them. Everyone is scrambling to kill me. Do I even have to do this?”

Cale, who has come to pick up an empty plate, crouches down in front of the tea table and watches him, then carefully picks up the plate and walks behind him.

After looking at him for a moment, Rai opens her mouth without changing his expression.

“Joshua, stop talking and tell me what your purpose is.”

“…… Eh- is it obvious?”

Joshua, who was indignant at Rai’s grave voice, immediately relaxed his expression and leaned back on the sofa.

Looking at Melanie and Lai with a smile on his face, he changes his posture and sits comfortably.

“You’re not dead yet. But I was half sincere. Hey, I was impressed, right?”

Seeing Joshua ask if he was impressed with his comical expression, Melanie frowned and gulped down her drink in her hand.

Joshua turns her attention to Rai over her who seems to be unhappy that her heart was moved for a moment.

“Actually, I didn’t intend to bring her back. But she’s madly hated by her men, as she said earlier.”

“Because it deserves it.”

Just before he surrendered, the anger of his lieutenants, who believed that Joshua was a spy, was great.

I don’t know if Rai is imprisoned, but when the Empire announces that the Demon of the Nations has been executed, the lieutenants unleash all their anger on Joshua.

“Anyway, that’s why I’m getting attention-marked by your lieutenants. Of course you know you’ve come to the academy, I’d rather have you brought before I investigate and do something crazy with you.”

“Do you have an excuse like that?”

At Rai’s answer, Joshua tapped the sofa with his palm and was delighted.

“That’s right. Isn’t it a huge debt for me to bring you before my eyes when I thought you were dead? From an enemy to a benefactor! Isn’t it wonderful?”

“So, how are you going to get Melanie to repay the favor?”

Joshua doesn’t answer the question and looks at the empty glass.

After asking Cale in the kitchen to fetch a strong drink, Joshua changes his posture and speaks in a serious voice.

“I’m going to ask Melanie to deal with the marks you left behind.”

The traces left by the demons of the nations.

The resistance that Joshua briefly mentioned when he first met Rai.

All the people of the kingdom do not admit that the kingdom is ruined.

As Rai surrendered, he told them not to rebel, but those who dreamed of reviving the kingdom were still resisting.

If Joshua’s words are true, she is Melanie who has to deal with those who were in the same unit, but she has a calm expression.

Whether it’s a kingdom or an empire, she doesn’t care.

It doesn’t matter what cause the insurgents have. For her, her most important thing is Rai and when he tells her not to rebel, she only bells if she doesn’t listen.

“Using the former port captain to deal with those who do not become port captains. Isn’t that a clever idea?”

Joshua, an imperial citizen to the bone, smiles smirkingly.

She joined the unit, made friends with Rai, and spent a long time with her comrades, but the most important thing to him is the Empire.

If he does what he says, the empire can deal with the troubles without spilling the blood of its own people.

Even if Melanie’s troops are annihilated or the resistance forces are annihilated, the power of either side to oppose the Empire will be reduced.

For the Empire, this is a good opportunity to blow your nose without touching your hands.

“Excellent.”

“Right? But the idiots in the intelligence department won’t listen to me because they say the risk is high.”

While bringing strong drinks, Cale glances at Joshua, who calls the Minister of Information and other ministers idiots, and lets out a small sigh.

I told him to be careful with his words, but he is a superior who doesn’t listen.

“Because there is a possibility that Melanie will join the resistance?”

“Oh, that’s right. Why does Melanie join when there are hostages? Those idiots don’t understand that.”

“Is she the hostage of me?”

“Of course. Who else could be?”

When he asks, pointing his finger at himself, Joshua nods.

Although he was a commander who fought well, Rai, who has been reduced to a hostage, sticks out his lips and sits crookedly.

“Then what if I join the resistance? Would you like to bring a storm to the Empire?”

“When the storm comes, Mr. Edelian will love it. He still wants to hang out with you.”

In spite of the dangerous remark, Joshua shrugs as if it is not a big deal.

“And you’re not going to do such a bothersome thing. While getting the time you’ve been longing for.”

“That’s right.”

Acknowledging his words, Lai leaned back on the sofa and sagged.

Melanie scoops food for Rai, who is sitting comfortably with his strength drained.

Joshua laughs and drinks at her appearance, which is too calm to be called a iron-blooded empress who roams the periphery and slays dangerous monsters.

After the serious talk, the three go back to when they were colleagues and drink heavily.

The riotous drinking party continues late into the night, with a drunken Joshua bullying Cale and Melanie getting entangled with Rai.
