The celebration was a huge success. After Dohyuk and the people returned to the city, Dohyuk told them to take a day off and rest. And with that, the celebration commenced naturally.

Every musician in the city was invited to play, and any former musicians were also encouraged to participate as well. They even brought out the valuable canned foods that people had stored. The crops they grew satisfied their hunger, but it wasnt enough as it was not as tasty as the food from the old world.

Any beer?

Give me any liquor! Anything!

Alcoholic beverages had been prohibited in the city from the very beginning due to Heeyuns advice, but that ban had been lifted also.

Mayor, you want a drink?

Here! Have mine!

After Dohyuk drank about 38 cups, he noticed the time.

Is it past midnight now?

The celebration was still in full swing. Everyone was still overjoyed and cheering for their victory.

Dohyuk rose up.

It will be oka

Dohyuk then walked to an isolated place and chose one of the tall buildings. He easily hopped to the top by climbing the surface.

Huh?

And then he was dumbfounded.

WHA!

KYA!

A woman and man screamed as Dohyuk jumped up onto the roof.

Oh, Im just

Dohyuk tried to calm them down, but then he realized that they were naked.

Uh.

Dohyuk looked down with reddened face.

Im s-sorry.

Dohyuk tried to jump down the building again, but the woman let out a laugh.

Its okay. You dont need to be sorry. Should we move into the building?

The man next to the woman was a little puzzled and asked, Huh? What?

We can go in. Its windy out here, so we can go in and stay in a warm building. The mayor might have an appointment for himself here too.

Oh. OH-OH!

The man nodded astonishingly and Dohyuk frowned.

N-no. Its not

Well move right away! Its alright!

The naked man and woman quickly picked up their clothes and belongings and moved out of the roof. Dohyuk then looked up as he could no longer hear woman quietly laughing from the stairway.

Whew.

Dohyuk still felt hot from embarrassment. He didnt even realize that someone had approached him until now.

Oh, so youre not used to that kind of thing?

?!

Dohyuk flinched and looked back. It was Yuri.

It was your doing.

What do you mean?

Look at that.

Yuri pointed to the center of the city where people were enjoying the party throughout the night.

We have a celebration and you allowed them to drink in five months. Im sure there a lot of them are down to enjoy it fully.

Im sure there are more of them in quiet places.

It was as she said. There existed various age groups within the city, but their bodies were in top condition, which meant they were young and healthy. It was weird for those men and woman to not fall for each other.

Many of them will start seeing each other today onwards. They are mostly young Oh, but you are that sort too.

That sort?

You know, you didnt live the previous life, or you dont remember. So you still have that freshness in you.

Yuri then reached down. She was holding a plastic bag, and she took out a bottle from it and threw it to Dohyuk. There was a slightly opaque, green liquid in there.

What is this?

Uh, I forgot the name. Didnt smart-boy make you drink it before? Its a sweet drink that the desert kids drink.

Syacumm. It was the liquid that allowed Dohyuk to regain energy just by drinking it.

I made some of those desert kids make this. It will make you drunk.

Yuri then took up another bottle and opened it.

You prohibited them from drinking, not creating the drinks. Isnt that right?

Did you share this to

Dont worry. Unless their stats are high as mine or the smart-boys, anyone who drinks this will fall unconscious right away.

Yuri then gestured for a toast, and Dohyuk obliged.

How is it?

Yeah.

It was as she claimed. Dohyuk felt the hotness of alcohol and the heat coming to him.

I have a few more bottles. You will get drunk, so be careful though. Yuri spoke teasingly, I wont do anything to you today, but if you go down there drunk, you will wake up with another naked girl next to you tomorrow morning.

Its not funny.

Im not being funny.

Yuri then pointed at the city.

Think about it. Are you sure that none of those people think of you in that way?

Even if there is

I mean, if you have someone you find interesting and cute.. maybe you can just-

Thats enough.

Okay- okay.

Yuri shrugged as she raised her both hands. I wasnt trying to make you mad.

Im not mad. But thats not the topic I wish to discuss.

Hmmm.

Yuri then turned toward the city again and continued, You know, it wasnt like this before.

You mean, in the previous life?

Yeah. Or to be more precise, until you came. That was not possible then.

She spoke as she pointed at the people enjoying the party. Then she looked down at the alleyway where a man and woman in their early twenties were looking for a suitable place to hide.

Honestly speaking, its not too bad to actually see it with my own eyes.

I cant join that but at least they they can continue to do that for as long as you are here.

Yuri then dropped the plastic bag and hopped up on the fence.

So, dont be too sad and do whatever you like. It was stupid to see you walk away after you couldnt get drunk I came because I couldnt see that.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Yuri then jumped down.

Dohyuk stood there silently for a while and opened up a status window.

-Faith: 460,520,088

He then looked over to the people down in the city.

The party today had been for the people who withstood the hellish life they had faced. And the next miracle that was going to happen was also for those people.

I want to have this entire region in the sea.
