The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 435
Episode 435
“Huh…”
Glen let out a sigh as he saw Rektar and Yua who had come to pick up Raon.
‘Is it a party?’
After hearing the story, it seemed like they were holding a party to celebrate the promotion to the Gwangpungdae. Even if it wasn’t a big opening, but the annex family was doing it modestly, it made me feel sick that Rektar was in there instead of my grandfather.
‘But…’
I can’t bear to say that I want to be with you.
He was able to muster up the courage to teach Raon himself, but it was unreasonable to say that he wanted to participate in the celebration party in the annex where Sylvia was.
I will never open my mouth.
‘I’m sorry. Glenn.’
He was called the King of the North or the God of Thunder, but in reality he was just a coward who couldn’t even move a finger for fear of the awkward gazes of his daughter and grandson.
Even in the midst of this, the desire to go to the annex and have a drink with Raon made me laugh out of embarrassment and frustration.
As Glenn watched Rektar talking to Raon, he tightened his grip.
‘You’ll go to the party, but you won’t lose to raising Raon.’
As I looked at Rektar and strengthened my will, I heard the sound of small footsteps. He was a child named Yua with a special talent that Raon brought from Habunseong.
“…”
Yua came to the side and raised her head in a daze, wondering what she was thinking.
It was awkward dealing with the child, so when he was about to turn first, the infant reached out and grabbed his finger.
“hmm?”
When I tried to separate it because I wanted to know what it was, the child’s words continued.
“Would you like to come with me too?”
Yua pulled her fingers and smiled refreshingly, saying that it would be better if the family head came to the party today.
“We’re having a party today!”
“Ummm…”
Glenn couldn’t let go of the child’s hand from the warmth transmitted from his little finger. It was the first time I felt this way since I secretly hugged young Raon.
“It’s a toddler!”
Raon hurriedly ran over and grabbed the infant.
“sorry. I’m still young and I don’t know manners very well.”
He begged for forgiveness just once, saying it was a child’s mistake.
“This is…”
Glenn stopped shaking his head, saying it was no big deal. Seeing Raon’s eyes reminded me of what Rimmer had said as he was dying.
< Stuck in a cave all your life and die of old age without having a drink with Raon! >
‘Yes.’
Before I die, I should share a drink with my grandson. Even if you use iron skin, at least once.
I looked up and saw Rektar. He had a relaxed smile as if he had won.
‘That old man…’
The heart that had given up and accepted just a moment ago melted and a new fire was burning hot.
“Come here.”
Glenn gestured to the young child who was peeking out from behind Raon.
“If you are invited by a lady, it would be polite not to decline.”
Embarrassed and ashamed, my face turned red and I felt as if my chest was being clamped with a wire, but I held the child’s hand and smiled lightly.
“That party. Don’t let me go either.”
* * *
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the dishes on the table.
‘How the hell did this happen?’
Obviously, the annex family decided to hold a light promotion celebration party, but now there was an uninvited guest, not an uninvited guest.
‘Isn’t this a dream?’
He licked his lips and turned his head to the right.
Glenn was sitting in the top seat with a slightly flushed face, and Sylvia next to him was unable to breathe properly and her shoulders were shaking.
“Uh…”
“Huh…”
Helen and the maids standing behind the table also let out a moan that seemed like they would die soon. At this point, the only people who could afford it were Glenn and the infant who called him.
“Hmm…”
Rektar said he was participating as a guest and sat down at the end of the table, looking at Glenn with jealousy and interest.
Get it.
Raon lightly tapped the table with his finger and looked at Glenn.
‘I really didn’t know you would come…’
It was definitely unexpected that Yooa invited Glenn, but I thought it was a mistake on the part of the child and of course I thought he would reject it.
But he thought about it for a moment, and said that he was not rejecting the lady’s proposal, and went to the party with a drink.
When they saw Glenn standing in front of the annex door, Sylvia and Helen’s expressions were more contemplative than a mouse standing in front of a cat.
“Oh…”
Sylvia stood up from her chair with trembling eyes.
‘Oh, today, to celebrate the promotion of the Gwangpungdan, which Raon, Yua, and Julius belonged to, everything was well prepared. Everyone, please enjoy!”
She raised her horse and held out her hand because Glenn and Rektar were there. It was a pity that his fingers vibrated.
“Then start.”
“Ah yes!” At
Sylvia
‘s instruction, the ladies-in-waiting entered the restaurant with the dishes they had prepared diligently.
The natural movements creak like a wooden doll. The large table was shaking.
Even the cold-hearted Judiel trembled and dropped a fork to the floor.
“…”
Glenn looked at Rektar, who sat across from him, not reacting to the ladies-in-waiting’s mistakes.
Rektar also looked at Glenn and calmed his eyes. Sparks seemed to fly between the two men’s gazes.
-It’s pitiful.
Lars shook his head at Glenn and Rektar.
– Even if you are an old and strong human being, you can’t help being childish.
‘That’s right.’
I laughed out loud when I saw the old ladies having a snowball fight at the table in the annex following the gymnasium.
While Glenn and Rektar were having a useless eyeball contest, the table was already filled with delicious food prepared by Helen and the ladies-in-waiting. Because it had just been completed, hot steam rose above the dish.
-What are you doing!
Lars stood up quickly and struggled with his round hands.
-Never mind those old people and pick up your fork! You’ve fed the original king rubber bread for two days in a row, so you must be prepared, right?
The guy smacked his lips, saying he would eat all of these foods even if his stomach exploded today.
Raon pushed the blinded Lars away and looked at Glenn.
‘wait.’
Originally, the dining etiquette of the annex was to enjoy food on their own, but they couldn’t do that even when the owner, Glenn, was present.
The ladies-in-waiting did not sit down at the table as usual after finishing the meal, but instead stood straight in the back, staring at Glenn.
Sylvia kept quiet, probably thinking that she could harm not only herself but also the ladies-in-waiting, and Rektar only watched without saying anything because she knew who the owner of this place was.
“hmm.”
Glenn looked at the food and raised his gaze lazily.
“Why are you standing there? As far as I know, I heard everyone in the annex eats together, right?”
In a calm voice, he ordered the ladies-in-waiting to sit on the chairs.
“Go, Lord.”
Sylvia turned her head to Glenn.
“How did you know those kids were sitting here?”
She opened her eyes wide as if it was strange that Glenn knew the circumstances of the annex.
“Kuhm!”
Glenn didn’t answer right away, but flicked his finger and parted his hardened lips.
“…Rimer told me.”
“Oh, I see.”
Sylvia nodded. Rimer seemed to think that it was enough because he often came to the annex to get food when he ran out of money.
“The head of the family has allowed it, everyone sit down.”
She gestured to the awkwardly standing maids and instructed them to take their seats.
“…yes.”
“Thank you.”
The ladies-in-waiting bowed to Glenn and sat down in their respective seats. However, their shoulders trembled, their complexions paler than when they were standing.
“…”
While everyone from Glenn to Sylvia Rektar was silent, small footsteps were heard from the kitchen.
“It’s over!”
Yua set down the large pizza she brought with Julius in the center of the table. It was a pineapple pizza that her grandfather had improved upon.
-Keuuugh!
Lars looked at the infant and clenched his fists.
-After all, she’s a pineapple girl! Completing that masterpiece in the meantime is truly amazing! Try it quickly!
‘wait.’
He urged him to eat the pizza quickly, but he couldn’t move his hand as Glenn was still.
“…”
A second silence began. It was a time when everyone was looking awkwardly at Glenn and Rektar.
growl.
Loud thunder roared from Julius’ ship.
“Sorry!”
The guy immediately bowed his head, saying he was rude, but no one bruised him.
On the contrary, many people let out a sigh of relief because their tension was broken.
“hmm.”
Glenn raised the spoon first.
“Let’s get it before it gets cold.”
When he started eating the soup first, Sylvia and Helen’s maids ate the soup with rigid postures as if they had become machines.
gurgling.
The slightest noise as the soup went into each person’s mouth proved that the people here were not dolls.
– Yaaaaaa!
While Raon was eating awkwardly, Lars started rolling over his head.
-The soup is done, eat something else! There are beef and lamb rib pizzas too!
‘I think I’ll pretend if I eat now…’
He shouted to eat this and that, but Glenn’s gaze prevented him from moving his hand easily.
“….”
The third silence. The table was filled with the sound of dishes clashing as if a spy war had broken out, but no one opened their mouths.
“after.”
The toddler jumped up when Glenn put down the spoon expressionlessly.
“My lord! Try this! It’s what Master Raon likes the most!”
Yua took a slice of pineapple pizza she had just brought and placed it on the plate in front of Glenn.
“Oh!”
“Yoo Yua!”
“Huh!”
“Ugh…”
The pupils of Sylvia and Helen’s ladies-in-waiting widened to the point of popping out at the infant’s sudden sudden action.
Everyone was so flustered that they couldn’t even speak properly.
However, Glenn did not frown once and put the pizza that the toddler had given him into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed the pizza with his mouth shut and nodded in satisfaction.
“It is delicious.”
“Yes! It’s a recipe my grandfather made!”
Yua laughed hee hee, boasting to Glenn about his grandfather.
“You must be proud of your grandfather.”
Glenn responded to the infant and took another bite of pizza.
“of course! You’re the best cook in the lower province!”
As if it were natural for a toddler, he raised his hand.
The tension that filled the entire table was clearly gone in the short and bold conversation between the two.
“It’s an infant. Can you give it to this grandfather too?”
“yes!”
Rektar beckoned, and the toddler smiled brightly and handed out the pizza.
“Huh! Are you better than the manager?”
After Glenn and Rektar ate the pizza to their satisfaction, Sylvia and the maids, whose tremors had subsided, began to eat properly.
“Huh…”
Raon let out a laugh as he watched YooA warming up the atmosphere at the dining table.
‘Is it because I learned the rhythm?’
The infant seemed to have moved on its own to release the tension and heavy atmosphere that had filled the table.
‘No, maybe it’s just because it’s fun.’
Seeing him approaching Glenn or Rektar in a friendly way, whose face and expression were scary, he might have been like that by nature.
‘Anyway, I think I’ll live thanks to you.’
-You son of a bitch….
Raon smiled at Yooa while Lars screamed.
– Don’t all the food disappear! please eat some! It still tastes like rubber in your mouth!
‘i get it. okay.’
I nodded at Lars’ shout and tried the toddler’s pizza.
‘Wow…’
As Rektar said, it tasted better than the pizza that the infant’s grandfather made.
A variety of meats, vegetables, and well-grilled pineapple are harmonized, so a variety of flavors are released in harmony in one bite. Glenn wasn’t just admitting it.
– Big! this is it! The rubber that was clinging to the tongue finally fell off!
Lars said with tears in his eyes that the taste of Nadine’s bread had finally disappeared.
-Next, bring the grilled meat! Lamb ribs are also a must!
‘Yeah…’
Rektar raised his gaze as Raon complied with Lars’ request and brought the other food to the plate in front of him.
“My lord.”
He touched the table looking at the red wine bottle in front of Glenn.
“Did you bring the drink yourself?”
“exactly.”
Glenn nodded and pushed the bottle forward.
“I was invited to a party, but I couldn’t come with my bare hands, so I brought it with what I could catch.”
In fact, this is the highest quality alcohol that Raon has been preparing since he cut off his ghost.
Although it was a top-notch liquor that cost much more than platinum of the same weight, it was deliberately removed to disguise it as cheap.
‘Well, all the alcohol is there.’
Raon nodded, saying yes, and was about to continue eating when someone touched his foot under the table.
Sylvia was the only one in this direction, so when she looked up, she glanced at Glenn.
‘Am I asking you to pour me a drink?’
Looking at his eyes, he seemed to mean to pour that drink for Glenn.
‘Well, that would be polite.’
I didn’t know it because it was the first time I had a meal with an uncomfortable adult, but Sylvia seemed right.
“My lord.”
Raon got up from his seat and walked over to Glenn’s side.
“Can I follow you?”
“…do whatever you want.”
Glenn looked the other way and pushed the bottle away.
“thank you.”
Raon took the bottle and opened it. With a cool opening sound, a luxurious yet sweet scent gently bloomed.
Contrary to the word cheap, I could tell at once that it was a top-notch product.
‘hmm?’
As I was about to pour a drink into Glenn’s glass, his expression changed indescribably.
Her pupils trembled thinly, her cheeks flushed, and the corners of her mouth swayed like windblown reeds. Anyone looking at him would see him as someone who was already heavily intoxicated.
‘Are you drunk? Or do you like it?’
I’m not sure if I got drunk just by smelling the alcohol, or if I was just looking forward to the taste of alcohol.
Raon shook his head slightly and poured a drink into Glenn’s glass.
“That was enough.”
Glenn raised his glass when it was halfway full.
“Do the same for others.”
As he said that, he raised his glass to Rektar, who was sitting across from him.
Unlike the time when he couldn’t express it a moment ago, his face seemed to be openly proud.
“Ahhhh…”
Funny thing is, Rektar was biting his lip in resentment again.
‘What are you doing?’
Thinking Raon was such a strange old man, he poured alcohol into Muston’s glass.
After pouring some alcohol into the glasses of the ladies-in-waiting, including Sylvia and Helen, she returned to her seat.
Sylviara smiled and rose from her seat. She put her glass forward and looked at Raon.
“Raon infant Julius! Congratulations on your promotion! I look forward to it!”
At her cry, the ladies-in-waiting also held out their glasses.
“young master! congratulations!”
“congratulations!”
“Congratulations to infant Julius too!”
“Please come back safely!”
The ladies-in-waiting did not pay attention to Glenn this time and sent congratulations.
“Congratulations.”
Glen raised his glass with a barely audible voice. It’s not accurate, but it seemed very good.
“Then salty!”
Sylvia made the sound of clinking glasses first, then looked at Glenn.
“Um…”
Glenn understood the meaning of that gaze and drank first. Everyone else drank too.
-Quack! tasteless!
Lars said that the alcohol was not good and insisted on eating pizza quickly.
‘Let’s eat something else.’
Raon pushed Lars away and glanced at Glenn as he poured the stew into a bowl.
He drank very slowly and sparingly, gazing at the golden liquor in his glass with rapture.
‘As expected, he likes to drink.’
I thought I knew why Glenn’s face looked bright a moment ago.
Glenn slowly savored the pizza the toddler had prepared and the drink he poured himself. After emptying the last drop left in the glass, I got up from my seat.
“Go, Lord?”
Sylvia and the ladies-in-waiting stood up at the same time, embarrassed.
“Let’s just go.”
Glenn shook his head, saying that he seemed to have enjoyed it enough.
“Sylvia.”
“Ah yes!”
Sylvia swallowed dry saliva and jumped up.
“It was delicious.”
Glenn looked at Sylvia and Raon intently and nodded.
“And congratulations.”
He said that and headed out of the kitchen. On the way to the end of the table, I muttered a little to Rektar.
“I was first.”
“Ugh…”
Rektar frowned and Glenn lifted his chin and smiled arrogantly.
* * *
“Hahaha.”
Limer, lying on the bed of the hostel, yawned so loudly that his mouth was torn.
“I’m bored to death.”
I was beaten so badly by Glenn that I still couldn’t move. It hurts to be sick, but I felt like I was going to die of boredom because I couldn’t do anything.
“I thought you were having a party.”
Yua invited her to a party, but she refused because she had trouble moving. Now that I think about it, I should have been forced to participate.
“I’ll ask Raon to pick me up…”
The moment Raon’s name was mentioned, the door to the dorm opened violently and Glenn entered.
“Go, Lord?”
Rimer opened his mouth and raised his head.
‘What is this man really? Are you Raon Stalker?’
It was an incomprehensible quickness to show up immediately after bringing up the story of Raon.
“you.”
“yes?”
“Did that kid pour you a drink when you were drinking with Raon?”
“Uh…”
Rimmer shook his head, recalling the drinks he had with Raon.
“no. We just threw bottles and each of us drank.”
“Then what about the destruction?”
“It seems like everyone drank too much then…”
He shook his head again, recalling the three medicines.
“Right.”
Glenn straightened his back, chin tucked in, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
I don’t know what it was, but it was an unlucky expression that he had won.
“Uh…”
Rimer frowned at his expression, which was so mean.
‘Why is this inspiration doing this today?’
She looked so different from usual, she swallowed dry saliva and slightly lowered her gaze.
“Did something good happen to you?”
“Are you curious?”
“…I’m curious.”
To be honest, I wasn’t really curious, but I thought I wouldn’t leave if I didn’t listen, so I asked.
“I was invited to a party at the annex today.”
“Eh? The head of the household went to the annex?”
“okay. A child named Yua invited me to go.”
“Keugh!”
Rimmer recalled the infant’s pigtails and clenched his fists tightly.
‘Baby! You’ve done what no one else has ever done! It’s worth raising!’
I didn’t actually raise it for a moment, but I decided to think about it for now.
“What did you do when you went?”
“I ate lightly. But…”
“So what?”
“Well, Raon poured alcohol into my glass first. In my cup before anyone else! Actually, it doesn’t matter who you drink with first. The most important factor is who pours the drink first…” ”
Ah…”
Rimmer opened his eyes wide as he saw Glenn, whose nose pierced the ceiling and went up into the sky.
‘Is that all?’
You stupid grandson! Are you saying you’re proud of that?!
