i hope that if anything comes down on theo for summoning, it'll also come down on the guy that kidnapped momo. and if umehiko gets sent back, it'll be with his sister, and after theo recovers, he goes to earth to find umehiko. maybe losing his magic & becoming mortal in the process.

I’d bet it was the guy who summoned Momo that arranged the arrest. He knows they are all there. When the military(?) group was introduced it was a big deal that the regular sorcerers like Theo and Luca can be punished if they failed to provide just a dinner for them. 100% he can have Theo illegally arrested

so it seems like the translation is a little confusing, but it's not like the context of the art helps clear up much. the author seems to be creating a story more like old mythology than modern stories. old myths tend to be very, very strange, unpredictable, and sometimes more of an allegory than anything coherent. there does seem to be some coherency, though. if you know your asian mythology you can just skip the next paragraph tbh.
first, peaches in chinese (and other asian cultural) myth are a food of the gods that grants longevity & immortality, similar to ambrosia of greek myth. so they're literally divine. they're also a symbol of fertility & have been used many times as carriers for divine human-like beings. having the mythology to allude to seems pretty foundational with this story.
now, from what I can gather, MC is a magical being from a strict, small (blessed?) tribe, and the people (or maybe just the special ones?) are able to bestow their own life force as edible pearls. being that the ML runs a place called Dream, we could infer perhaps this club name is literal, but if not, it seems to be in a divine realm, and as such, things won't make sense as they do on a normal, mortal realm. it also seems that either ML is a possessed man, or a wholly supernatural being that can glamor/shapeshift into the human man we see. this is also why the mention of souls, crossing the river, and the proposal of going to a hell-like place fits in, as these are common in old mythologies across the world. as for the flying dicks, i don't really know. they're old fertility icons that were used in ancient rome, but I don't really know how they tie into this other than general fertility imagery & otherworldlyness. the rest, I have no idea wtf goin on.
anyway, people tend not to hallucinate & create highly strange tales from alcohol. if they're on something, it's not booze.
like fr, dan _threw it out_ instead of returning it. i'm so fuckin mad. absolutely the fuck not, that's not what we do. if someone rejects your gift, especially if it's a luxury good, if you're still in the return window, just return it. use that money to treat yourself.
also, I'd put money down on "they're going to kidnap dan" but author might go with "they'll kidnap dan's grandma" instead
Abt throwing out the gift, I think the aurhor might use it as a plot point later on and reveal that like jaekyung actually cared this whole time and had fished it out of the trash or smth to try to redeem his character
Me too. Thinks so too!
I thought of that too like JK was about to throw something and saw Dan's gift inside the trash and he just annoyingly fish it out and keep it
y'all are so right. jk's going to fish it out. the setup is just annoying to me lmao
Annoying and predictable if that would happen just so JK's gonna have a redemption arc.
