A Day of Rest (1)

“Ouch!”

Soo-jung, who had been running, jumped right into my arms.

As always, Soo-jung has a luxurious scent. As I started making more money, my wife, Soo-ah, and Soo-jung started to exude an aura of wealth.

Is it because she was born with royal blood?

I didn’t believe in bloodlines, but seeing this, I think a person’s atmosphere is somewhat influenced by their lineage.

“I missed you!”

“Yeah. I missed you too.”

Soon after, my wife approached and held out Soo-ah.

“Dad…dy!”

“Gasp! Did you see her pronounce it correctly just now!?”

“Yes, I saw it. Even if I don’t want to believe it, I think Soo-ah is at least gifted.”

Clearly, some people might call us fools for doting on our child.

But my wife and I have already raised a genius who even has memories from before they were one year old. So, even if Soo-ah isn’t a genius, we can guess that she has a high potential to be gifted.

But I wasn’t surprised.

I was so surprised when raising Soo-jung that I was constantly taken aback.

I kiss my wife on the forehead too.

“You worked hard to come here.”

“What did I do? I came comfortably on the premium express bus.”

The time has come when my wife needs a car.

It’s something I couldn’t have imagined until now, but now is the time. It seems like a necessity to take care of two children.

“But is it as good as a passenger car? Let’s get one when this is over.”

“Huh? It’s okay.”

“I’ve already decided, so you decide which car to buy.”

“That’s too big of a problem for me.”

“So, think about it.”

That’s how I end up insisting on getting a car for my wife.

My wife has worked hard until now, and now it’s time to be rewarded. Of course, not only my wife but also all my family members should be rewarded.

“Should we eat? What do you want to eat, Soo-jung?”

“Lobster!”

The answer comes immediately.

The intelligent Soo-jung knew that I was making a lot of money now. There was a time when we were desperately poor, and Soo-jung would tear apart crab sticks that we occasionally bought from the market and savor them with her eyes closed. Maybe she wanted to feel the texture that way.

It was the year Soo-jung was born that my business failed, so she was a child who had never even tasted lobster in her life.

“What about you?”

“I don’t mind anything.”

My wife, who is smiling like the Mona Lisa, says that anything would be delicious.

I rummage through my pockets and give more than half of the bundles of local currency that the Geoje mayor gave me to my wife.

“What is this?”

“The mayor gave it to me for doing a good job. They’re all 100,000 won bills [approximately $75 USD]. So, it means you can eat expensive things in Geoje.”

“Wow!”

Soo-jung’s eyes become as big as saucers.

Soo-jung knew what local currency was, how it affected the market economy, and how much it affected small business owners, as well as the concerns of local governments about discount rates.

Soo-jung knows the value of this best.

I took out a few bills and gave them to Soo-jung.

“It’s pocket money.”

“Dad, you’re the best! As expected, my dad is generous! Hehe.”

Soo-jung carefully folded the local gift certificate and put it in her arms.

My wife wouldn’t take Soo-jung’s money now, but Soo-jung had been robbed of almost all of her pocket money until now, so she stayed far away from her mother.

“Let’s go to Geoje Raw Fish Restaurant!”

“Geoje Raw Fish Restaurant?”

“Yeah! Soo-jung searched on Mom’s phone while coming here. They say it has great value for money! They say there are 30 kinds of side dishes or something?”

Soo-jung says that while slightly drooling.

If Soo-jung made the decision after careful consideration, it means that a minimum guarantee is in place.

Our family heads straight to Geoje Raw Fish Restaurant.

In front of the raw fish restaurant.

I got out of the car in the parking lot and was momentarily mesmerized by the sea in front of me when I heard a very rough and excited voice from somewhere.

“Team Leeeeader!”

Ta-da-da-da!

My wife, seeing a crazy woman rushing like a bull, snorting, holding Soo-ah, immediately stepped behind me, and Soo-jung also stepped behind me, following my wife.

Her hair was flying wildly, her eyes were bloodshot, and her nose was flaring, so she didn’t seem to be in her right mind.

She is Dr. Oh Hye-soo, who is in charge of this exploration.

Oh Hye-soo jumps as is.

I was worried about causing unnecessary misunderstandings with my wife, so I released a few souls to exert physical force.

Thud!

“Kyaaaa!”

Oh Hye-soo, who rolled on the floor, got up and tried to rush again.

“Stop! I’ll report you if you come any closer.”

“Hic! Hic! When are you going to lift our Seong-woong’s remains!?”

Soo-jung looks at me for a moment.

I quietly put my index finger to my ear and turned it, explaining what kind of woman Oh Hye-soo is [meaning she’s crazy]. Soo-jung nodded, saying she understood.

“To be exact, it’s the main body of the Turtle Ship [a type of Korean warship].”

“It’s Seong-woong’s legacy, so it’s no different from his remains! When, how, and without damage, can you lift it up!? If there’s even the slightest damage, I might kill someone!”

“There are children here, so please watch your language.”

“You said you would lift it up, Team Leader!? Huh!? Tell me. I’m going to die like this.”

“We’ll lift it up well with new technology.”

“New technology!? What new technology!?”

If I leave her like this, Oh Hye-soo will never leave. I must tell her the story here and go back. I have a day off, but she came all the way here. It’s clear that she skipped etiquette class.

“It’s a technology that stops the flow of the tide with a magnetic field. When the flow of the tide stops, professional equipment will be put in, and we’ll be able to lift it up safely.”

“Really!?”

“Yes. The Turtle Ship will not be damaged.”

“You must lift it up cleanly!”

“All I can do is block the flow of the tide, and the rest is done by H Group.”

“Is that so!?”

Ta-da-da-da!

Oh Hye-soo turns around and runs.

Bang!

Vroom!

She gets into her sports car and disappears.

I’m worried that she might have an accident.

Soo-jung shook her head as if she was stunned.

“Dad. That woman isn’t normal, is she?”

“Does she look sane? She’s been single until now, saying she married Admiral Yi Sun-sin [a famous Korean admiral]. There’s no way that’s normal.”

“I haven’t lived for many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen a pervert like that.”

“Me too.”

We all had our first experience.

Zhiing.

The automatic door opened, and I could see the rooms that were connected to the left and right along with the hallway.

In other words, this was a room format, and the prices on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors were slightly different. That was because of the view, and it was advantageous to look down at the sea from a high place.

“Welcome. Which floor would you like to be guided to?”

It feels more like a restaurant than a raw fish restaurant. Or does it feel like a high-end Japanese restaurant?

I know because I used to go to high-end Japanese restaurants back in the day. Even if it’s a raw fish restaurant, not all raw fish restaurants are the same, and places that are a bit pricey have excellent service, views, and taste.

“Give me the best spot on the 3rd floor.”

“Okay.”

The employee, who bowed politely, guides our family to the elevator.

I realize the power of money once again.

Our family, who used to be ignored wherever we went, is now being treated well. If we didn’t have money, we wouldn’t be treated like this.

I was guided to the 4th floor instead of the 3rd floor, and when I was puzzled, the employee smiled and explained.

“I saw it on TV. You’re Team Leader Lee Yoo-sung, who discovered the Turtle Ship, right?”

“That’s right, but…”

“The president instructed us to guide you to the royal seat if you come to our raw fish restaurant.”

“Ah…”

“He said we should treat the hero like that.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Wow!”

It’s a great spot with a spacious room and a view of the sea at a glance.

It was a VIP room with a clean interior for only one team.

I became famous, so there were side effects. When would we ever eat in a place like this? You can only eat it when you become famous.

As soon as I sat down, I ordered without hesitation.

“Please give me three VIP specials and a bottle of the best sake.”

“Yes! Thank you.”

After the employee leaves, my wife looks at the menu.

It was a super expensive menu that cost 200,000 won per person. There was an additional charge for the VIP room, and the room fee was an additional 200,000 won.

So, it was a high-end course menu that cost 800,000 won per meal and 1 million won including alcohol.

My wife couldn’t help but be shocked by the price.

“Honey. I think it’s a bit too much, no matter how much.”

“What are you talking about? The mayor gave me 3 million won, and I can’t use it if I leave Geoje.”

“It’s not like the gift certificate has an expiration date…”

“Uh-huh. If we receive a favor, it’s our job to contribute to the local economy. Let’s eat comfortably today.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you?”

“I’m getting spoiled thanks to you.”

My wife is too nice. She should enjoy it at times like this, but she worries first.

Maybe she doesn’t realize that I’m making a lot of money yet.

Soon after, a lot of food starts to come out.

There was no dish that didn’t come up, from live octopus and abalone, squid sashimi, and numerous side dishes, to snow crab, lobster, and tuna.

It was literally a table that was about to break.

The highlight was that they lightly grilled the skin of the red sea bream on the spot to make tataki [seared fish], and even extracted water from the crystalline lens of the tuna’s eye and poured it into a glass.

It was a moment when I felt that I had done a good job making money.

I ate like crazy.

I don’t know why there’s even steak at a raw fish restaurant.

Should I call it a fusion of Korean, Japanese, and Western food?

Still, the main dish was sashimi, and the sashimi in the shape of a crane was neatly placed, so I couldn’t bear to eat it because it was too precious.

Soo-jung ate until her stomach burst, and so did I.

My wife ate in moderation, but she couldn’t help but overeat.

I had a drink during the day, so I got a little tipsy.

After eating all the ice cream for dessert, Soo-jung patted her stomach.

“I feel like I’ve eaten everything I’m going to eat for a week.”

“It’s okay as long as you enjoyed it.”

“Dad, I have something I’m curious about.”

“Ask me anything.”

“What’s going to happen in the future? Are you going to start a new business, or are you going to do the uninhabited island business?”

“Um…”

In fact, it wasn’t that I hadn’t thought about it.

I’ve been thinking about it countless times, and I’m starting to reach my limit. Until now, I’ve been lucky enough not to get caught that I’m mobilizing the undead, but I don’t know what will happen if more time passes here.

If it becomes known that I’m doing business with the undead, I can see the scene of being dragged somewhere and tortured right in front of my eyes.

It would be nice if I could start a new business, but it’s not possible until I reach the level of at least 5th or 6th Circle [referring to a level of magical ability].

“In the more distant future, I’ll be in charge of unsolved national projects or difficult constructions, but now I need to increase my size a bit. I think I should buy an uninhabited island and move to Incheon.”

“Have you made up your mind now?”

I nodded lightly.

I took my eyes off Soo-jung and held my wife’s hand tightly.

“Let’s move to a good house.”
