chapter 39
EP.39 EP3. time for you (2)
Looking back, I was a person who never had a hobby.
After becoming a villain, I rolled like a dog at the bottom of the organization, and after the organization collapsed, I focused only on making money like a dog to settle down.
For me, who was away from me because even common mobile games cost money, my hobby was just useless.
“My father. What do you think is the difference between man and beast?”
But was it such a shocking story for the boss?
“Well, why is that… … .”
“Humans have a history.”
The boss starts explaining as if he can’t even ask a question.
“History is more
In other words, it is the concept of transmitting knowledge. Humans believe that they have been the pinnacle of all things since they were born, but the reality is that
This was possible because the concept of preserving and transmitting knowledge that has been passed down was achieved through changes in the environment, not genes.”
It was a very lengthy explanation to spit out in the middle of the street, but nevertheless, I couldn’t stop the boss.
How can I, a pawn, be able to stop you from explaining this so seriously?
“Take it like that
Although knowledge is the main pillar of the repeated activities, it is none other than ‘culture’ that has made the solidarity of human society.
Mural paintings have produced paintings over the generations, screams that were just for fun have become songs,
The fight for survival has become a sport in itself, and it is still a spectacle for many people today.”
“Oh, yes. Yes.”
“How much less is this continent
A situation in which civilization has collapsed once after the cataclysm… … . In the ruins of the old days, people belonging to each culture unite and
As there is a record of carrying out a ‘cultural follow-up movement’ to restore remnants, it can be said that cultural activities are very important to the present human race.”
– Clap clap.
The sound of applause from nearby, the voice of oh-oh, heard in between… … .
Damn it, there’s a lot more interest than I thought.
“But, as a member of society, I don’t have a hobby that simplified such cultural activities… … . Wouldn’t it be possible to cause trouble in the future?”
Nevertheless, the boss who does not stop admonishing me and opens his eyes sharply.
It was difficult to refuse even the conclusion that followed that explanation, so I nodded nervously without realizing it.
Yes, if you are a member of society, you should have at least one or two hobbies.
What’s surprising is that I didn’t expect to hear such a thing from a boss who was not someone else.
“It can’t be helped, but today, even for you, I will give you a tour of various cultural activities.”
“… … Yes?”
“I think it would be a good idea to stop by a cafe to review future plans. Follow me.”
With that said, the boss walks the streets while holding my hand firmly.
There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but in the end, I followed the boss’s hand and arrived at the Eoyoung Booyoung Cafe.
Oh yeah. If the boss came out like this, he must have thought of everything.
However, first of all, ordering at the cafe is what I do… … .
“I will place the order.”
“… … yes?”
Without realizing it, I closed my eyes and looked down at the boss.
At that time, the boss was already putting his hand into the backpack on his waist with a familiar gesture.
“You always drink coffee without sugar. Would an Americano be okay?”
“Uh, uh. Yes, I don’t care… … .”
“Clerk, I will place an order.”
A boss who stands proudly at the counter even in the midst of embarrassment.
The clerk, unaware of the internal affairs, just looks down at the boss with his characteristic hospitality smile.
I had no choice but to watch their conversation from beginning to end.
“Yes, please tell me, little girl~”
“I’ll ask for a cup of Americano and cookies for each day of the week, plus a lemonade.”
Watching the boss place an order.
“I will pay in cash. Would this be enough?”
Furthermore, the way the boss counts money.
“Do you have any discount or credit card?”
“There is an application that provides services for this cafe. I would like to ask for some money here.”
Furthermore, the boss… … .
No wait, the boss even uses app benefits?
“The child is very smart.”
Around the time I was shocked by surprise, the clerk lady smiled at me.
I woke up late, and my gaze turned to the boss standing in front of the counter again.
“Fufu.”
The boss with arms crossed in triumph… … .
Her majesty may be seen only as cuteness in the eyes of others, but anyone who knows her true identity will find this situation absurd.
Well, she is a cosmic being who descended on this earth from the universe, and from her point of view, a human being is nothing like an ant.
The society built by humans is no less than an anthill.
So the current situation is… … . okay. It can be said that it is a concept similar to that of humans to understand the pheromone structure of ants and use it skillfully.
“Hey, did Nella teach you how to order?”
“Yeah, thanks to that, I was able to easily adapt to life here.”
The boss sat face to face with the coffee and refreshments he ordered.
The hand that stirred the straw in the lemonade was feeling familiar. As if something like this has happened a few times.
“That’s fortunate. I think you did well while I was away… … .”
“You could say it was all thanks to that child. Just being together makes me feel like my perspective has been broadened.”
Obviously, Nella was definitely as smart as her age.
Moreover, because his father is a hero, there are many cases where he is alone. He must have relied on the mature boss a lot, and he would have given a lot of explanations to help somehow.
But no matter how, how do you make the Transcendental understand human society?
Maybe that child is a greater being than I thought?
In fact, the boss learned more in the time I spent with Nella for a month or two than the three years I spent with me… … .
“I am really grateful that I can please you with the knowledge I have learned.”
“… … yes?”
The words came out suddenly while I was falling asleep.
He expressed his doubts, but the boss just smiled and brought his mouth to the straw in his hand.
Are you happy, the boss is me?
No… you can’t take that for granted.
As a vassal receiving service from the master, if Seol Hwa-ran knew, it was obvious that he would have a double bath.
“Does she care?”
As I was thinking of Seol Hwa-ran’s face like that, the boss looked at the scenery outside the fence and asked me.
God, as soon as I thought of that guy, it was revealed on my face.
“As for her, I can’t say anything.”
Suddenly, while the topic was focused on that guy, the boss tapped the lemonade straw with his finger and continued the conversation.
in a very bittersweet voice.
“I didn’t ask too much about what she wanted to do, and I can’t interfere with her work since she’s already lost her expectations. I’m sorry I couldn’t answer your questions.”
“Oh, no. You don’t have to worry about it.”
I’m just annoyed because I remembered it for a while, too.
I didn’t want to talk for a long time about him.
“It’s just that it doesn’t have to be a hindrance to us.”
“… If you say so.”
Soon the topic was over, and silence flowed between me and the boss again.
There is only time to drink their own drinks, sometimes reach out for refreshments, and then stare at the surroundings.
How long did that silence last?
By the time the lemonade was finished, the boss jumped off his chair and got ready to hit the streets.
“Can I go to the bathroom for a moment?”
“Ah yes. Are you talking about the bathroom?”
Unfortunately, although this cafe has outdoor seating, there are no toilets. You’ll need to use the building next door to get to the bathroom.
With that in mind, it took me a while to get myself up to go straight ahead.
“… … my father.”
The boss staring at me as I was about to get up.
“No matter how unfamiliar I am with this young body, I still have the concept of at least pride and chastity.”
“yes?”
“Is going to the bathroom an act that can be called human-to-human courtesy?”
“… … uh.”
Yes, it is.
No matter how young they are, it is shameful to follow the toilet and take care of them.
Even less so, if it were the opposite, it would be considered more sensitive.
But isn’t this guy my boss?
“Then, even just in front of the bathroom… … .”
“…….”
“… Yes, I will be quiet.”
Yeah, you’re going to the bathroom for a while, so what’s the problem?
After the boss went out into the street and disappeared, I sip my coffee, staring at where she had just been sitting.
Even though it was coffee without sugar, it could not cover the bitterness in the mouth.
Well, the behavior the boss showed today… … . Because it was very different from what I had seen in front of me for the past three years.
The boss, who had only been taken care of by me, is taking the initiative on his own for the first time and is trying to take care of me… … .
Yes, just like humans.
At least, the behavior the boss showed today was the behavior that a ‘human’ that I am familiar with would do.
‘The transcendent, who was observing humans, has finally entered the stage of mimicking humans.’
Would that be considered a positive thing?
Furthermore, what are your plans for the future?
“There you are, here you are!”
While I was alone in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a voice.
It was a youthful, sharp voice characteristic of a child.
When I moved my gaze to the side, feeling suspicious, the boss caught my eye… … .
“… … Little?”
No, she was a girl the same age as the boss.
“It is Isri.”
“What?”
“It’s not a kid, it’s Isri!”
Isri.
That was the name that the stocky girl in front of me was referring to.
No matter why you called me
“Uh, um.”
Swallowing embarrassment, I looked around at the girl who introduced herself to me.
A poncho-type dress with bobbed hair in a rare color called green-blue. Long sleeves underneath, etc… … .
Regardless of the outfit, the two antennae that protrude above her head are of particular concern.
No, looking closely, it wasn’t the antennae, it was the hair.
But who was it that suddenly appeared in front of me?
“… Isn’t your mother here?”
“Isri is not a lost child, she is just wandering the streets alone. This is absolutely social work!”
“Oh yeah? You are mature at a young age.”
It’s a bit intimidating to walk around alone, but what does it matter if you’re someone else’s child anyway?
“But Isri realized the cruel reality while studying social studies.”
“… … A cruel reality?”
A girl named Isri suddenly stretches her body.
As I questioned, the girl told me the disappointment she had discovered.
He put his hands on his waist as if he had discovered something great.
“That is, the world is capitalism!”
“Oh, so?”
It sounds so natural, but when I heard those words, what I spit out inside was nothing but admiration.
That’s because a child who seemed to have just entered elementary school quickly realized the truth of this world.
No matter what, the world goes back to capital.
Power is, after all, only a means to make money.
This world is Pay To Win.
In a sense, human society is more governed by money than by mobile games.
“Isri eats sweets
It is what you want to eat. However, the owner of the store demands money, and he ruthlessly expelled Isri, who had no money. nevertheless
The reason I can’t say anything is because I realized that it’s normal for society to ask for money.”
“Oh, I see.”
I’m worried about mentioning a word like human society that doesn’t sound like a child… … . Well, it wouldn’t be strange to think that it was also influenced by things like animation.
“It’s fine though. Isri has a groundbreaking method, and that is to cooperate with Isri!”
Whatever it is, the important thing is that this little boy pointed at me along the way and wants some help from me.
You’re a kid who has learned the bitter taste of capitalism. No matter how irrelevant it may be, I felt like I wanted to support this a little bit.
“Yes, Isri. What would you like me to do?”
He asked, bringing the cup of coffee left over to his mouth.
How many coins can I give you?
“You’re helping rob the bank!”
– Juggle.
The coffee in my mouth spilled out into the road cup.
