[Chapter 016]

[Life is a network]

Eunha’s daily routine during winter vacation was to hang out at home. Lying on the sofa, reading a book leisurely, or taking care of her younger sister, Eun-ae, were the only things she could do.

“Abu~”

“Didn’t my brother say that sticking out his lips would make him ugly?”

Eun-ae would puff out her cheeks and pout her lips whenever there was something she didn’t like. Each time, she insisted on what Eun-ae liked so much, even though Eun-ha scolded her with a stern expression.

“Mom, who is your sister?”

“My sister went to play with her friends.”

In the meantime, Eun-ha found Eun-ah, who had not been seen since the morning. When Eun-ae clings to her, Eun-ah appears from somewhere and clings to her, but today, for some reason, she didn’t show up.

“Why don’t Eunha go out with her friends too?”

“Abu~!”

“… Eun-ae told me not to go, so I want you to stay home.”

“Should mom bring Minji?”

“…Mom, can’t we just stay at home?”

Isn’t Eun-ae also begging not to go? Even though she was still young, Eun-ae, who had an amazing sense of the atmosphere, was holding on tightly to his clothes to prevent him from going anywhere.

It was also cute, so Eun-ha lifted Eun-ae up. Unlike kindergarten children, they do not know how much grace can be the vitality of life.

Come to think of it, Hayang asked me to come and play.

It was when the school festival was over. Hayang’s father came to thank him for saving him from the goblins. He told me to come hang out with his friends at a cafe during vacation.

At that time, Eunha found out that Hayang lived with her father.

In the meantime, he had no interest in the people around him except for his family. Although he considered the children in kindergarten to be his friends, he, who was 32 years older, perceived them as objects to be looked after.

That’s why he was implicitly drawing a line even with the children he was close with. In other words, he was indifferent.

From now on… , should pay a little more attention.

It would be wrong to say that I am interested. Children should be treated on an equal footing.

For him, a future without those children is now unimaginable.

“…I have to go play soon.”

After all, her father had personally invited her.

When the time comes, Eun-ha decided to take her friends and visit her.

I was going to see

“Va~jang~! Let’s play~!”

“Come out now. I know you’re lounging around at home.”

“Eunha~ Let’s play~.”

When it was lunchtime, Eun-ha was speechless as she saw the children who came to her house.

“…don’t play.”

Even though I said when I would play, I didn’t say I would play today.

He came to his senses and tried to turn around, but

“Oh. Welcome. Is it cold outside? Would you like some cocoa?”

“Yes! I want some cocoa!”

“Ma’am, all I need is milk.”

“…and thank you.”

“…Okay. Go, go.”

Since the mother wants to take the children in, she has no choice but to raise the white flag. Since ancient times, there was no general who could enlist enemies in the main camp.

“Ooh ha! Ooh ha!”

“Eun-ae. Oppa will go out and come back.”

Eun-ha had to take Eun-ae away from crying and go outside. I don’t know why it’s so sad to break up with her sister.

“Ha ha. What are you doing?”

“Hehe, I came to play with the captain.”

“”that’s right!””

When Eunhyuk called him captain, Ma Bang-jin and Yeon Seong-jin, who followed him, also regarded Eun-ha as a captain and followed him.

People passing by were preying on her, so if there was even a mouse hole, Eunha wanted to hide.

“Last time, Hayang’s dad asked me to come over. I called him to go play today.”

The person who explained the situation was Minji. The tip of her nose was frozen red as if the weather was cold.

“I’ll contact you in advance. Don’t you know that this is a nuisance? I can’t do it. You’re a nuisance from today. Admit it?”

“…It’s not fun at all. Hayang-ah, do you admit it?”

“Huh? Huh? Huh, admit it?”

It was a grand feast of any words on the way. Hayang, still not accustomed to the two of them arguing, answered while twisting the ribbon around.

“Yeah, admit it?”

“”Oh, admit it~””

Conversely, Eunhyuk, Bangjin, and Sungjin got along well. After hearing the story of the two, they followed and were playing among themselves.

Cafe Happiness, run by Hayang’s father, was located on a hill in Seongbuk-dong. The cafe, reminiscent of a cabin in the woods, was very small compared to nearby cafes.

The moment I opened the store door, the smell of roasting coffee beans greeted the children.

The inside of the cafe is narrow and has a high ceiling. The interior also reminded me of a cabin in the woods.

“hi.”

Hayang’s father was wearing an apron that matched the atmosphere in the forest. To the extent that he was shocked, his eyes lit up when he saw the cute bear drawn on Minji’s apron.

“””hello~!”””

Greeting manners. The children bowed their heads, led by Eunha and Minji.

“Hello guys. Goodbye Eunha too. Please stay close to Hayang in the future.”

But what?

Eun-ha stared at Ha-yang’s father, who was fixing his glasses.

where did you see the face

Familiar.

However, even after searching his memory, no clue about Hayang’s father came to mind.

In the meantime, the children were guided to a seat by the window where the light came in.

“Are you hungry? I’ll make you a delicious lunch. Do you have any drinks you’d like to drink?”

“Me! Me! Me! I want chocolate!”

“”I’m mango juice!!””

“Mister, I want to drink yogurt.”

“Dad, I have yogurt too.”

“Yes, yes. And the galaxy?”

“…yes?”

Eunha, who was lost in thought, suddenly raised her head.

“Drinks. He’s asking what you’d like to drink.”

“Oh, sorry. I’m a double shot of espresso.”

“…huh?”

Silence came.

Eunha was puzzled as to why the atmosphere had suddenly subsided. Then, realizing what mistake she had made, she hurriedly corrected the menu.

“Banana juice! I just need banana juice.”

“Yes. Let’s drink espresso when we grow up. But even you can’t drink double shots.”

“You told me to stop watching dramas. How many dramas have you watched before such difficult words come out?”

“As expected, Captain! I thought it was a magic spell!”

“I’ll make it for you later when I grow up… I’ll practice until then.”

I felt like I wanted to go in if there was even a mouse hole.

Eun-ha, who lost her poker face for the first time, had blushing ears.

“I have a double shot of espresso.”

“Stop it, please.”

There was no way Minji would miss this good opportunity. Until Hayang’s father brought lunch, Minji followed the lines of his children and Eunha.

“With a double shot of espresso.”

Even Ha-yang was copying Eun-ha’s lines, as if they were impressive. It’s the same, even pretending to raise his eyebrows.

“Wait a minute. Hayang-ah, one more time.”

… please.

Hayang’s father, who brought lunch, lit up his eyes. After rummaging through his pocket, he took out his smartphone and took a picture of White with his eyebrows raised between his eyes.

“Guys, kimchi~!”

“””Kimchi~!”””

“…kimchi….”

A group photo followed. The photo even contained the shaking of the fork that Eunha was holding.

“Wow! This is delicious!”

“Is this bacon?”

Bang Jin and Seong Jin enjoyed the lunch brought by Hayang’s father. I was moving my hand, not knowing that the sauce was on my lips.

On the other hand, Minji and Hayang were quietly playing with knives. As if Hayang was used to it, the way he cut the pancakes was unusual.

“Captain, this egg dish is so delicious.”

“It’s not an egg dish, it’s scrambled eggs. And don’t talk to me while eating.”

“okay.”

When he was told not to open his mouth when there was food in his mouth, Eunhyuk nodded without saying anything.

“Wow, this is so delicious!”

Bang Jin, who was drinking mango smoothie, drew attention. Seongjin, who was drinking next to him, nodded and agreed.

“Did you know now? How good is Hayang’s father at cooking?”

“But why are you condescending?”

“Because Hayang is my friend.”

“Okay, eat it.”

“Didn’t I tell you to try it?”

“Okay, did you eat?”

“Let’s eat~ Hwa~! Let’s sleep~!”

“Choi Eunhyuk you~!”

“Ahaha…”

When the children got together, the topic often bounced around. This is why Eunha used to lie down on the sofa when she came back from kindergarten.

Still, it was fun to chat after a long time. In particular, when Eunhyuk came in after matching the rhythm, the thumbs up spontaneously.

“But I admit this. It feels like something is getting stronger.”

“Well, that’s right.”

Eunhyuk, who drank iced chocolate, turned the topic. Minji, who raised her voice, did not dare to change the topic.

how delicious is that?

The brunch was also mouth-watering. I know my cooking skills aren’t average, but I couldn’t figure out why the kids were praising the drink so much.

So I decided to try drinking it.

Eunha who drank a banana smoothie,

“…omg.”

I was surprised and no words came out.

what? What have I been drinking?

I wasn’t interested in the kids throwing a big party to say anything.

Eunha drank the drink to savor the banana smoothie again, or to check the change in mana in her body.

… crazy.

Mana rose.

He prided himself on being unrivaled in his sense of handling mana in his body. Even though he was young, that feeling did not go anywhere.

His sensor was developed enough to detect the subtle changes in mana in his body.

crazy, crazy, crazy. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

sure The banana smoothie was restoring mana.

The drink in his hand was a banana smoothie called Potion.

“Nonsense.”

“Huh? Doesn’t it taste good?”

“No. It’s really good.”

Hayang, who had noticed, smiled brightly.

Either that or not, Eunha still couldn’t take her eyes off the banana smoothie.

portion. It is a drug that helps restore mana in the body.

All players carried potions. Even if he had no money, he always brought potions when he went to subdue monsters.

For players who deal with mana, potions are like life.

The problem was that the drugs called potions that were manufactured in the early days were literally things that helped restore mana in the body. It was nothing more than a drug that aids players in quickly absorbing mana dissolved in the air.

Furthermore, all of the early potions were drugs contained in syringes, which were to be stabbed with a needle into the thick thigh area.

The price was also worth it. Since it is made from a specific plant, even a poor-quality potion had to be purchased for at least 50,000 won.

“Hayang. What’s your father’s name?”

Then one day, a revolution occurred in the potion market.

It was when Eunha entered middle school.

The newly made potion not only assisted the speed of mana recovery, but also played a role in restoring mana in the body.

There was no need to use a syringe. The new potion was available as a powder, as a pill, and as a drink.

“My father’s last name is Jeong, and his first name is Seok Ja Hun Ja.”

“Dae~bak. Let’s be close friends!”

“Huh? Huh?”

Hayang, who was plucking the ribbon with a puzzled face, was not interested.

The galaxy was already as excited as it was excited.

Jung Seok-Hoon.

There was no way Eunha didn’t know that name.

Because he was the one who brought about the revolution in the potion market.

Jeong Seok-hoon’s gift was <Filtering>, which activates the mana contained in the material. Through <Filtering>, he was able to carefully select ingredients containing mana and extract mana from the carefully selected ingredients to create a dish called Potion.

Accidentally developing a potion from his own cooking, he saves countless players. The potion he made himself was treated as the best with a premium, and in fact, the potion with the name Elixir was used to save players who couldn’t be revived.

Why did I find a double shot of espresso!

Among Jeong Seok-hun’s homemade potions, there was a potion called Espresso Double Shot. The double shot of espresso was the best mana recovery potion, no, coffee.

But I heard that Jung Seok-hun doesn’t have a daughter.

Eun-ha recalled the opportunity for Jung Seok-hoon to appear in the potion market. Then he realized the strange feeling he felt when he first saw White.

“ah.”

The puzzle has been put together.

“what’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing. The banana smoothie is delicious.”

“Yeah! Daddy made it.”

Jung Seok-Hoon. He was a man who had lost his wife and daughter to monsters.

It was the day Jeong Seok-hun was away from home.

The monster sneaked into the house as if it were targeting that time, and killed his wife inside the house.

When he returned home, he found only his daughter crying alone in a sea of ​​blood.

Why only the daughter was alive was considered a mystery. It could have been because the monster had satisfied its hunger, or it could have had to leave the place for some reason.

But Eun-ha was able to understand the mystery that only her daughter was alive. Perhaps the monster hid in the house to feed on White, who had a lot of mana in her body, and succeeded in killing her wife, but was either extinguished or escaped due to the mana shed unconsciously by White.

Anyway, the only thing left for Jeong Seok-hoon, who lost his wife, is his only daughter, Jeong Ha-yang. It is known that he pampered and raised her daughter to the share of her wife.

However, there are no dreams or hopes in this world.

Unbeknownst to him, Seok-hun Jeong loses his daughter just as he lost his wife to the monster.

“Goblin.”

It was because of the goblins that attacked the kindergarten a few months ago. The reason why the academy gave a lecture about the goblin attack was because it was related to the story of Jeong Seok-hoon jumping into the potion market.

Before returning, White must have been killed by the goblins.

Eun-ha was able to figure out why White, who had a huge amount of mana, was unknown in the future.

In this life, it seems that I have saved Jeong Seok-hoon’s daughter.

Having lost both his wife and daughter to the monster, all that was left of Jeong Seok-hun was his hatred of the monster. He thought that he lacked the ability to become a player who destroyed monsters, and as a result of an accidental incident, it was revealed that he was the holder of a gift called <Filtering>, and he jumped into the potion market.

At the time, the Alice Group, which ranked 8th in Korea’s business hierarchy, proposed investment in Seok-Hoon Jeong’s business.

When his ability and wealth were combined, it was like giving wings to a tiger. He took control of the potion market in less than a year after entering the market, and the Alice Group became the absolute throne of the potion market.

As a result, the Alice group reached 3rd place in the Korean financial system before Eunha died. And the chairmanship of the group was taken over by Jeong Seok-hoon, who remarried the second daughter of the Alice Group chairman.

“and….”

Eun-ha was not able to come to her senses while sucking on the banana smoothie that had been exposed to the floor a while ago.

Hayang, you are my best friend from now on.

That was his conclusion.

The future has changed to a future where White does not die. Perhaps Jeong Seok-hun will never become the president of the Alice Group.

However, the future that Jeong Seok-hoon will one day jump into the potion market will not change. He has the qualities of a manager by nature.

and will not leave his abilities unattended.

So, Eun-ha thought of Hayang, who would become a conglomerate in the future, and decided to become close.

Don’t call me a snob. Because people are like that

I’m basically a selfish guy

It was a galaxy that abandoned its conscience even before returning.

And what kind of potion is Jung Seok-hun’s potion?

As Jeong Seok-hun jumped into the potion market, the gift called <Filtering> became known to the public. Pharmaceutical companies sensitive to profits hired people with <filtering> to make potions.

However, Jeong Seok-hoon’s potion was unmatched. Jeong Seok-hun borrowed the power of the Alice Group and subsumed all the potion makers of other companies. The potion market was eventually dominated by Jung Seok-hun’s monopoly, not monopoly.

Before long, a premium was added to the name of Jeong Seok-hun. As his name grew higher and higher day by day, finding his potion was like picking stars from the sky. At first, Eunha could get a double shot of espresso by spending a lot of money, but later had to buy a double shot of espresso, which was uniformly manufactured in the factory. Of course, the efficiency has gone down.

So, Eun-ha decided to make friends with Jung Seok-hun through Ha-yang. To obtain a potion with a premium in the future.

I had no intention of sticking around. I will pay a fair price and ask for it.

I said I would buy it with my own money, but what to do!

“Ha-yang-ah.”

“huh?”

“Even if you go to elementary school, if someone is bullying you, tell me. I won’t let you go.”

“…Yeah, thank you.”

White blushes while holding a straw in her mouth.

Eunha greeted her winter vacation and looked at her with the clearest and brightest eyes.

Life is networking, cancer.

one good friend

In that way, Eun-ha pushed her elementary school life, which was not far behind, into the background.

Thinking only of the potion.

─It’s already been 3 years.

Noh Eun-ha becomes an elementary school student.
