Chapter.4 Hamburger and Boy
I summoned a fla spirit that feeds on my mana. Little lights twinkle around .
The boy looked at it with very curious eyes.
“What is this? “It’s just sparkling?”
“I will protect you in case your life is in danger. So you can always make a loud noise. “You don’t have to be afraid.”
“really?”
“Really. “It may look small, but if the Baron is in danger, it will turn into flas and eat everything.”
“Nana! I think I read about spirits in a book. amazing!”
“But it’s not free.”
“Isn’t it free?”
“Even if you beco a lord, you must co to the restaurant often. However, not with the sensibility of a dignified lord, but with the sensibility of a boy like today. “If you co to a restaurant and show off, we’ll kick you out.”
“Don’t worry about that. He is a good lord, so he has no dignity. yes?”
“No, it has to be there when there is dignity. You must know how to react according to the situation. “It’s all up to the Baron.”
“I see!”
Leaving the boy to make up his mind alone, I called Lulin.
“Rulin, let’s stop rolling around and go back.”
Lurin, who had been rolling around on the sofa, fluttering as if she liked it, opened her arms wide when I said that. It seems to an co and hug . This dragon?
“This is so soft! “Can’t we take it ho?”
“I’ll buy it for you later, so don’t be greedy for soone else’s.”
“You must keep that promise! Well, if you want to go back, give a hug! This ti from the front.”
Rurin opens her arms wider again. There is no choice if you want to go comfortably.
“see you later.”
I cried out and clung to Rurin.
The boy raises his arms in confusion.
“Are you going already?”
“Next ti, don’t sneak away and visit , but co find on your own.”
At that very mont, Lurin used teleportation. The black hole’s spiral struck my vision again.
The mont the boy cos out strong, the little woman will probably be quite embarrassed. Still, I won’t give up.
From there, the boy’s fight begins. There’s no way there’s just a small group of won around. Now I’m in that state because I’m seen as a child with very little will.
There was so interest, but it was a problem the boy would have to deal with in the future.
If you beco a regular, I’ll take care of you more. If you beco a regular.
At least if you have that spirit, your life won’t be in danger. The Fla Spirit was a service for leaving 100,000 runes on the table.
You don’t want to give back the money you once received, right? No matter how rich I am.

A few days later.
The boy ca back to the store. I was alone again.
“Did you run away again?”
When I ask, Mr. Youngju next shakes his head. And pointed outside.
“I ca to speak confidently. “There is an escort outside.”
“Oh, is that so?”
He gently patted the boy’s head. And then I surprised myself. I’m glad there’s no one watching. If it were my status, even the emperor would tremble.
That’s why a count like him can’t say anything even if you pat him on the head or even hit him, but the problem here is that he’s a retired commoner.
A commoner patting a nobleman’s head.
But the boy looks up at with shining eyes, as if nothing is wrong.
“I did as you said, little by little, loudly. “How dare I ask the Gray family’s eldest son and next lord to glare at , and he couldn’t even squeak?”
“Why have you been timidly begging until now when you can do that?”
“Because I was scared. But I gained a little courage because I thought that this fla was on my side as well. Your words really touched . And since he clearly ca out strong, didn’t you confirm at that ti that he was stepping down?”
“Well done. If you do this, the Baron’s hidden allies will appear one after another. But the more we do this, the more we need to develop eyes that can filter out people.”
“okay? I’ll keep that in mind. “It is the eye that sees people.”
“If you can do that, you will be able to beco a good lord.”
“Nana! I’m going to work hard. “I will be a good lord.”
Of course, that guard posted outside right now is probably a surveillance station assigned by the little lady. Since it cos out so strong, you can’t keep it locked up, so it’s probably an inevitable choice. The lord wouldn’t have the guts to imprison his son when he wasn’t even dead yet.
“Let’s do our best at that.”
“okay. Anyway, I can eat and eat comfortably today. So, let’s try another unique dish… .”
At that very mont, a boy about the sa age as Gray ca into the store, holding the hand of a girl who appeared to be in her early teens.
I and Grayke both looked at the boy at the sa ti.
“excuse … .”
“welco.”
I greeted my siblings with a smile. The custor’s age is aningless to . There are many things in this world that are more important than age.
“Do you want to eat?”
“A al is a al. Can you prepare this for ?”
The boy and girl quickly ran to and took out the runes from their arms. About five hundred runes.
“I want to prepare a dish for my mother, a dish with a lot of at…” Those 3 servings… .”
There was no confidence on the boy’s face, not even the gri on his claws. The girl, who is shorter than the boy, is trembling, wondering why she is so nervous.
Is it because I was rejected by all the other restaurants? So it must have co up to the top of this hill.
Well, 3 at dishes for 500 runes. This is sothing that would never be accepted in a normal restaurant. Five hundred runes is not enough to even make one serving of at dish. It may be possible to have a very cheap al, but it would be difficult if at was included.
If you’ve never been to a restaurant before, you probably don’t know the prices. If I had known the market price, I wouldn’t have gone out recklessly and sold my money with the money I barely saved.
“Cooking for your mother?”
“brother… .”
When I asked, the girl’s trembling body began to tremble even more and she looked up at the boy anxiously. The boy motioned quietly to his younger brother and then opened his mouth towards .
“Well, today is my mother’s birthday. My mother has been working for 10 years since losing her father. He raised the two of us for 10 years by working from field to field. This is the money I have saved little by little by helping with the work since last year. Still, I went out thinking I would be able to prepare a certain amount of food, but the reality was… Wherever I go, I get rejected… . I really want to treat my mom to a morable al! I don’t seem to have any energy these days, so I made sure to eat so at to cheer up… . Absolutely. How could it not? “It doesn’t matter if it’s for one person!”
“that’s right! “I don’t want to eat it!”
The girl added. Although he speaks confidently, the trembling of his body and the anxiety on his face are pitiful.
“At our restaurant’s market price, it’s possible to easily prepare one serving for 500 runes, but… . Will your mother really like it? “I think it would be counterproductive for the two of them to just watch without being able to eat.”
“that is… .”
“Oppa, I guess it’s not working here either… .”
Although I use the highest quality ingredients in my restaurant, I still have a set minimum price. Not paying even the set price is sothing that should not happen. That is true for both the eater and the seller.
It is understandable that the custor does not know that the ingredients of the dish are of the highest quality and that the price of the dish is charged at the general market price.
If they don’t even charge the standard price, everyone will try to eat like that, and then it becos a soup kitchen rather than a restaurant.
At the very least, you must pay what you owe and receive what you are owed. Even if it is a business where you do whatever you want, it is a line that must be followed.
Of course, as a result, the two people slumped their shoulders. Then Gray ca up to in the kitchen and quietly whispered.
“I will pay. So, serve a hearty al to those children and their mother. “I feel so sorry that I can’t see you.”
I shook my head at Grayk’s suggestion. And he asked for understanding from the boy and girl.
“Would you like to stay for a mont?”
“yes yes!”
After hearing the boy shout, he dragged the Gray boy away from a distance and spoke to him in a whisper.
“That can’t be said.”
“Why? I feel sorry for you and want to help you. “Isn’t that the first step to becoming a good lord?”
“So you are going to help everyone who is having trouble? Do you cook for all the single mother families, farrs, poor people and beggars in Gray City?”
“I need help. “That’s a good lord.”
“Listen carefully, Baron. That’s just the Baron’s self-satisfaction. “What difference does it make if you help like that just once?”
“uh?”
“And is that your money, Baron? “It’s family money, right?”
“that… .”
“If you beco a lord and manage the territory, it will be your property. But not now.”
The boy couldn’t say anything.
“If you really want to be a good lord, give help for a reason, not the self-satisfaction of throwing money away for no reason. Policies or jobs that allow single-parent families to receive assistance. It is the role of a lord to co up with fundantal asures and enable the people to stand up for themselves. “Throwing money is sothing anyone can do, and it’s also sothing that can’t change anything.”
“but!”
“When people encounter unexpected good fortune, they always feel the need for help. I don’t have the ability to take action to solve sothing on my own. Are you going to take responsibility for them for the rest of your life?”
“Uh uh… .”
Of course, what I say is not the correct answer. But at the very least, enemy lines for no reason can easily ruin boys and girls. I think so.
“How old are you two?”
“I’m 18!”
“If you’re that age, you’d be helping in the fields, right?”
“yes!”
“If you really want to give a gift, it doesn’t an you don’t have the opportunity. Of course, even this opportunity itself is very fortunate. “The world is not that easy.”
“I know that! “I don’t know how many tis I’ve been kicked out already.”
“brother… .”
“Well then let’s do it like this. I will create an opportunity for you. So do you want to work? If you complete it, I will prepare the best dinner for your whole family.”
“Is that true? Please tell anything! “I don’t mind breaking my body as long as I can serve delicious food to my mother!”
The boy nodded his head at .
“I want to do it too!”
And the girl, holding her brother’s hand tightly, also opened her mouth.
“I guess you’re too young to work?”
“I’m already 12 years old now!”
The girl looked at with earnest eyes. It seed like I couldn’t refuse that earnestness, so I opened my mouth again.
“Well, if it’s just a matter of helping your brother, then do it yourself.”
Then another boy. I felt Gray’s gaze staring at .
“I will try that too. Nana! I want to learn sothing. I wanted to make money with my own hands. “Thanks to you.”
It’s good to experience anything. That thought itself was amazing. There is no need to refuse.
“great.”
I walked to the Limon Forest, leading the growing sprouts. And he pointed to the entire forest.
“If you look closely, there are eggs like this here and there in this forest, so you just have to search through the grass or bamboo and search again to collect as many as possible. And if I find one that looks like this, I dig it up.”
In addition to eggs, they showed bamboo shoots that are difficult to find and dig up one by one.
“If you’re doing it for your mother, try hard.”
“thank you! “I will work hard!”
The boy ran into the forest without any hesitation.
“brother! “Let’s go together!”
The girl goes in together. Grayke also entered the forest with determination in his eyes. The guards just looked at Gray in silence.
