“If you could help…”
If Seoyoon participated in the quest he had a chance.
“Thank you very much.”
A luxury foreign car was parked in front of Lee Hyun’s house. Seoyoon’s bodyguards had come to pick her up. Bodyguards dressed in black suits opened the car door for her.
Little mumboshi and the chickens were loaded in the back seat. A billion-won luxury vehicle full of chickens and a dog! Lee Hyun saw her off while pretending to smile.
“Please come again sometime.”
In the car Seoyoon hesitated a moment then wrote down a note.
“Is it really alright for me to come again?”
“…..”
Lee Hyun was at a loss for words. How does one reply to that? Cutely say come again? No way.
Lee Hyun nodded
“Feel free to come again any time.”
“Thank you. See you later.”
Seoyoon slid into the passenger seat and left with her bodyguards.
As the car drove off, several mixed feelings welled up inside him, similar to when he dropped out of high school and when he met Unicorn’s Chief of Public Relations.
“Things are going to get worse.”
“I obtained a valuable lesson. No encounters with women… ever.”
If you meet a woman, in one way or another, it costs money. There was no opportunity to avoid spending money when dating. From the rice and dinners, to cups of coffee, to the trip to the amusement park; money bled into everything.
“Women really are the enemy when it comes to earning money.”
Lee Hyun was feeling his bad mood spring up again.
***
Seoyoon’s hospital room was like a farm. Little Mumboshi and the chickens lazed around the spacious room. Small yellow chicks peeped around the attending ward.
“……”
Seoyoon sat in a chair, reading a book.
Food that Dogs Like…
The Traits of Dogs…
Why Dogs Bark…
It was a guide for taking care of dogs she had gotten from the store. Seoyoon’s hospital room was outfitted with all the things needed in order to take care of her pets. The chickens and Little Mumuboshi were in heaven.
“Arf!”
Little Mumuboshi was barking while looking out the window. He was used to living in a house with a garden and fresh air and not in a closed off hospital room.
Seoyoon was ready to go out with Little Mumuboshi.
“One of the traits of dogs is to always want to be walked.”
Seoyoon stroked Little Mumuboshi’s neck and he licked her hand in return. He was quite loyal to his new owner. That day was truly a special day. The nurses could hardly believe their eyes.
“She seems to have become brighter.”
“I know right. I mean she has always been gorgeous but now she has the glow of a girl with a crush.”
The nurses that had tried a number of methods to get Seoyoon out of her locked mind, did not know why Seoyoon was suddenly getting better.
Lee Hyun had qualities that even Cha Eunhee recognized.
“There is a good man.”
His colleagues always praised him while hunting in Royal Road.
“Perhaps he can be the one to thaw her frozen heart, right?”
Chung Il Hoon also talked a lot about Lee Hyun.
“No one is as dedicated to family as that man. The only downside is that he is addicted to Royal Road.”
“Hehe, getting her to school really is a lot easier. Seoyoon doesn’t even have to be forced.”
Raising chickens and dogs was a very positive sign. If you pour your love into a pet, one day your heart will have to open up.
Seoyoon’s progress was welcomed by the staff. An opportunity to advance her treatment finally arrived, instead of having to mutely watch her stay in her prison.
“Perhaps it is finally time to report this to the Chairman?”
Cha Eunhee did not necessarily have to directly contact the chairman. As he was getting regular updates from her bodyguards. It was also possible that Seoyoon was finally on the way to healing her heart. If he heard that directly from her, then he would no doubt rejoice in the news.
Sculpture of a Child
‘Weed is a real genius!’
Mapan had just driven twenty large wagons through the western river basin in order to trade with the barbarian village located on this side of it.
“Oh look! Fresh human prey!”
Many monsters had tried to attack the horse drawn wagons while they had been crossing the basin. However, every single one was wiped out by Phoenix and Bingryong. With their help, Mapan and the wagons were able to arrive safely in the town of Bear Hatchet.
All the citizens in the village, both young and old, gathered in the town square to buy goods.
“Come now, come buy! Cheap goods go fast. Get them while you still have the chance!”
Mapan was selling imported goods from Morata. Morata made weapons, armor, and other leather goods!
He held out a pair of poorly made earrings that would have sold for a few coppers back in Morata.
“How much is ‘this’?”
