A Lie Has Become Reality

51 – I will protect my hometown

“…… “

The members sitting at the table and facing each other in silence.

Why is tension lingering around a dinner table that should be enjoyable?

The reason lies in this menu board placed on the desk.

“130,000 Won for 100g… ? What is the status of the price?”

“hehehe, oppa, I’ll eat well!”

“Should we just pretend we entered the wrong room and leave?”

“That’s why I said let’s eat Chinese sesame seeds.”

The cutely designed menu board handed over by the staff.

However, unlike the cute appearance, the contents of the menu were quite bloody.

[ Premium Korean beef roast ]

1 Serving of inner skirt ( 100g )

KRW 130,000

1 Serving of raw ribs ( 160g )

KRW 113,000

..

..

..

Raw sirloin, raw ribs, seasoned ribs, Korean beef sashimi, inside skirt, ribs, skirt…….

Obviously, the menu names themselves are familiar names that I have heard many times, but the prices written below them are not at all.

Excluding me and Seoha, the party exchanged glances with puzzled expressions.

“Let me help you with your order, customer.”

At some point, the clerk came to the table where we were sitting and said he would take our order, ready to write down notes.

But everyone seems to have stiffened at the kind words of the staff.

I said I would buy them all, but they didn’t look comfortable at all.

Of course, if you put even one piece in your mouth, your mind will change.

“Five servings of side skirt and 5 servings of sirloin, please.”

“Yes, my guest. Please wait for a moment and I will help you set the table.”

Insole.

It is a special cut that comes out only about 500~700g per cow, and due to the nature of the cut that comes out in an extremely small amount, its price range is the highest among all cuts.

Of course, just because something is rare doesn’t mean it’s expensive.

As much as the price, the taste is also different from other parts.

“It must be absolutely delicious… !”

Seoha smiled briskly and said with a face full of anticipation.

Only then did the rest of the party, who had only been paying attention, start to clear their throats and return to their usual tension.

“Is the insole so delicious?”

“Haven’t you ever eaten inside bars? The taste is much richer and it just melts in your mouth.”

“You must have eaten a lot, unnie?”

“Sure. I often made jjajangmyeon with inside skirt whenever I wanted to cheer up.”

“…… Did you have such a jajangmyeon?”

The atmosphere that had been completely frozen melted as if it never happened.

The conversation continued.

From each other’s daily life to various incidents in the early days of Epic of Seven.

Perhaps it was because only the right people got together, the heat of the conversation didn’t seem to cool down.

“5 Servings of side skirt and 5 servings of sirloin came out.”

Tak-

The ornately decorated plates began to be placed one after another on the table.

The lean meat on the plate was a beautiful crimson color.

The pure white marbling engraved like a marble pattern glistened and shone under the light.

Ah, I’m salivating.

“I will grill the meat.”

As if familiar, the staff put heated hardwood charcoal into the long open brazier.

Hwaak-

When the hood is pulled down, the charcoal burns red and emits heat.

As I put the meat on the hot enough grill, the sound of grilling the meat flooded my ears.

As time passed, the smell of grilling meat filled the surroundings with smoke.

Gulp-

We just gulped and watched the mad movie of the staff grilling meat.

The beef, grilled for the correct amount of time in the optimum heat, began to be placed one by one on our plates.

“Wow…… !”

As soon as I carefully put in my mouth, admiration burst out at the same time.

So it was possible for the chewy texture and the soft texture to coexist.

The intense flavor and unique savory taste that bursts out as you chew it melts on your tongue, leaving a superb umami taste.

Due to the nature of the cut, if it is not fresh, it will give off a unique savory flavor.

That’s why the inside skirt is also famous for its bokbulbok part.

But I can be sure.

Fresh inside skirt is said to be the strongest food on earth.

“I only chewed it a few times and it just melted in my mouth…… “

Seoha muttered in a low voice that he was depressed.

“Huh, the taste is just ridiculous.”

Cha Tae-hun burst into laughter.

I admit it. It’s a taste that makes you laugh out loud.

Chiik-!

The noisy table was now filled with the sound of grilling meat.

Everyone didn’t pay attention to the side dishes in front of them and pushed only the meat militantly into their mouths.

After eating for such a long time, the hanwoo I ordered is on the verge of running out before I know it.

I opened my mouth while looking at the party with a sad expression.

“Can everyone eat more?”

“Of course!!”

“Brother! How about flesh and seagull meat this time?”

“I don’t need all of them, let’s order more insole. Can you see I’m in tears? This is the first time I’ve ever cried while eating.”

“Brother’s soju too!”

Fishik-

Where are the people who were only paying attention to the outrageous price?

I called the staff by pressing the call bell.

“I’ll add four bottles of soju, three servings of fillet, and five servings of inside cuts.”

The full-scale evening has just begun.

*****

Insole 1200g : 1,560,000

Raw sirloin 800g : 565,000

Chicken 300g : 240,000

Tenderloin 300g : 330,000

Gonggi Rice: 5,000

Soju: 24,000

[ Total : 2,724,000 ]

2,724,000 Won.

This is the sum of the amount spent on one meal last night.

I, who started the latest news, also got drunk on the atmosphere yesterday and crumpled food into my stomach to the limit.

After dinner, the party became completely paralyzed and couldn’t even control their bodies properly.

Of course, I, who had no interest in alcohol, was fine. The problem was that I was sane on my own.

“I thought you were really digging.”

The best truth among them was, of course, Byeolgi Barry.

She went on a rampage after the meal, saying that we should go to her Chinese house for the second round.

Honestly, if it wasn’t an acquaintance, I would have left it at the police box.

After contemplating for a long time whether to just throw it away or not, we finally succeeded in asking Kim Hyung-jun for help and moving all of the party to our house.

I kicked the party who were spread like corpses on the bed in the guest room.

“Wake up, please!”

“Okay…… “

After screaming and stimulating them for a while, everyone finally started tossing and turning in their seats, making sounds of pain.

Because these are the truth.

“…… Voice actor brother? Where are you?”

Seoha, who was the first to come to her senses, turned her head with her less open eyes and looked around her.

“My house.”

“hehehe. Is this your brother’s house?”

“Uh, if you wake up, wake up the others quickly.”

“Eh. For a moment!”

Seoha woke up at the Juseom Juseom spot.

But what is he doing with the pillow?

No way…

“Taehun oppa! Star sister! Hulk! Entire! Hurry! Wake up!!!”

As if to show herself what a clear-eyed lunatic is, she started grinding with a pillow at those who were less awake.

“Kyaaak! Are you really crazy at night!!”

Byulgi Barry was the first to come to her senses.

People who didn’t budge began to wake up to Seoha’s milling.

I just stared at them, dumbfounded and speechless.

“Brother! I woke you up!”

Poohup.

A smile burst out at the sight of Seoha shouting brightly.

Awakened thanks to Seoha, the party slowly tidied the messy bed.

After cleaning up, they came out to the living room and started touring the house as if they were on tour.

“Wow, the real thing is crazier than what I saw on TV.”

“Do you have any eyes on the housekeeper?”

“I can’t even find you if I hide here well, right?”

Push-

We sat on the couch and talked one last time before we parted ways.

“Come to think of it, when are you going to put down the armband, Taehun?”

“I’m trying to get rid of it soon. Now there is so much influx that it is difficult to manage.”

“Wait a minute. You want to take off your armband?”

I was startled by the topic of conversation that suddenly popped up and asked back.

DP outside, short for DP.

DP is Korea’s largest community site.

From noble mtl dot com

One of the biggest features of DP is that users can directly open and manage a gallery of a desired theme at any time.

Epic of Seven Gallery is a gallery opened by Cha Tae-hoon, who has been managing it for a long time.

“To be honest, it was a bit difficult to manage because there has been a lot of influx these days, and there have been a lot of generational changes as the size has grown.”

“That’s right. We were getting tired too.”

“Right! It’s not something we get paid to manage.”

“And if I suddenly get promoted to the main gallery, I think I might collapse a bit.”

Main Gallery.

Unlike general galleries that are opened and managed by users, it refers to galleries that are directly managed by the DP Outside management team.

If a general gallery is judged to be too large, the management team forcibly promotes the general gallery to the main gallery.

If that happens, the person who has personally managed and nurtured the gallery will be disappointed.

And the Epic of Seven Gallery also grew exponentially as the game recently became a hit.

The problem is that since the scale has grown so rapidly, there is a strong possibility that it will be promoted to the main gallery.

“I feel really bad when I get promoted.”

“Honestly, if it weren’t for us, the gallery would have gone bankrupt in the days of Mangem. It’s annoying.”

“Looking at the current trend, the promotion is certain.”

“Shall we just take our hands off in advance so that we won’t have any regrets later?”

I felt sick to my stomach.

The Epic of Seven Gallery has a very special meaning to me.

It’s like my hometown.

I was so angry with myself that I hadn’t even grasped this important issue.

“It would be nice if the potato brother took care of it himself… “

Seoha muttered in a voice of regret.

Huh?

Wait a minute.

I manage myself?

I flinched as if I had received an electric shock at her thoughtless muttering to herself.

“Voice actor? The voice actor is too busy.”

“It would be funny if the voice actor wore an armband. Were there any communities where game representatives wore armbands?”

I finished the calculation in my head and carefully opened my mouth.

“Should I wear an armband?”

Everyone looked at me with wide eyes.

The conclusion that it would be quite fun was fixed in my mind.

Of course, it is not enough for me to manage that large gallery by myself.

But I believe.

What? The power of money.

Management personnel? It’s enough to pay money and hire them.

Promoted to Main Gallery? Where would you like to try it?

I will protect my hometown.
