87 – Get on a boat (4)
“Yes…?”
The owner asked back in confusion. He deserved it.
The topic of the story just now was advice not to buy land like this. But it would be absurd to ignore that advice and decide to buy a cafe.
“Miss, if you’re doing it because you feel sorry for this old woman, think again. I am….”
“No! “It’s not like that!”
Jo Ayun immediately refuted.
“I thought it was a good opportunity. The owner let go of the now abandoned store and we bought this place we fell in love with. “Isn’t it a win-win?”
“No, hey Jo Ayun. “Come and see me for a moment.”
Suddenly, I grabbed the back of Jo Ayun, who was excited again, and whispered to her.
“Our Jo Ah-yoon. What are you talking about all of a sudden? “Why are you asking me to sell a decent store?”
“This is a store that is not in good condition and will be sold. It’s better for me to buy it in advance. My brother also said that the atmosphere here is good. “The location is also good.”
“Acquisition is not like waiting at a famous restaurant. “Pababak does not arrive on a first-come, first-served basis.”
“No, it’s going to be okay? “This place is said to be an area of special attention. Is there anyone other than me who would buy it?”
“Nobody except a crazy b*tch like you.”
“Really?”
If there is someone who buys land in an area where monsters are suspected, 90 out of 100 people will swear at him and call him crazy. The remaining ten must be people who are suspicious of what illegal things might be done with that land.
“Ayun-ah. Think about it. But what does that mean? It means there are no customers. What’s the use if guests don’t come? “No matter how self-satisfied you are in opening a business, you have to keep profitability in mind.”
“Hey~ This oppa only knows one thing and doesn’t know the other.”
Jo Ayun grinned.
“This is not an area where monsters can appear, but a ‘precaution’ area. “It is an area that has not yet fully become a slum.”
“Yes, it is scheduled to be transformed into a cautionary area in a few months, and an evacuation advisory has been issued for those living there.”
“I know one, but I don’t know two. Brother, the area of caution is an area where there is a good chance that the warning sign will be withdrawn in the future. “If the rate of reports of monsters falls below three per week, it will naturally be withdrawn.”
“Is that possible? “If the number of monsters increases, it will increase or decrease…”
No, it is quite possible.
“No way.”
“Oppa, if you have the power, you should use it.”
All we have to do is subdue the monsters ourselves. If we have the ability to move at high speeds, it is enough to exterminate monsters that are not reported and wander around the area without anyone knowing.
Jo Ayun grinned and whispered in his ear in a mean voice.
“You know what? “According to statistics, areas that have been declared normal once again from areas of high risk for monsters have become famous for their thorough management, and land prices have soared several times….”
“Hey dude, where did love and peace go?”
It was a typical private use of power.
“…You have to give what you have to give.”
“No, that’s… Right?”
“It’s true now.”
Jo Ayun said firmly.
“It’s time to go from Magical Girl Pink Deneb to the cold-hearted capitalist flying Cassiopeia…!”
“Where did Suho go?”
“Uh… Capitalism is also an ideology, and ideology is also a dream. “Wouldn’t it definitely be about protecting your dreams?”
“Hey….”
I was just amazed by the genius scalability. Perhaps because she thought it was novel, she winked and showed off her talent to me.
“Am I smart?”
I feel like knocking on the head. What does it sound like?
It’s been so long since I explained about the possible dangers of transformation that I’m not aware of it. Is it because I’m too brave to think about using it, or is it just my insensitivity to safety?
When did our Ayun become so rotten?
Is there really no one who can protect innocence in this dreary modern society?
Red Vega suddenly came to mind, but I quickly put it out of my mind.
‘That friend isn’t pure, he’s just tasted bad.’
From noble mtl dot com
Except for his sense of justice, he is not that pure in other aspects.
I still wonder what kind of confidence it is that you can confidently watch adult broadcasts in a hospital room. No matter how small the screen on the smartphone was, I didn’t feel embarrassed when there was someone next to me.
“Yes… I am proud of our Ayun. After all, someone who has earned money knows how to invest it properly.”
As you can see from the part where she came up with such an idea, Ayun is not an idiot. He is a person with a normal mindset who knows how to put his life first. A person like that wouldn’t have thought of using the power of transformation without properly researching it.
You’re thinking of changing your mind to make money. If I were to measure profit and loss by my standards, it would be impossible, but I guess it wasn’t Jo Ayun’s standards.
Doubt turned into confidence.
Jo Ayun’s transformation is much safer than mine.
‘Was the reason you didn’t tell me on purpose… out of consideration for me?’
Probably so.
Even if it is the same transformation, if the safety is different, I may feel unfair.
In the past, Jo Ayun talked about her magical girl abilities. He said, ‘He’s so f*cking strong, but I’m the only one with support skills so I want to beat him up a bit.’ Having gone through this experience, it was no wonder that he was worried that I would have the same feelings of jealousy and inferiority as he had.
I learned how to take care not only of money, but also of people’s hearts. She was both proud and disappointed by her growth.
“Jo Ah-yoon, whom my brother loves, is so good at taking care of money.”
Actually, living too much like a fanatic is also not a good attitude. Ah, since no one suffers a loss because Yuni bought this store, there would be no harm in making a little profit for her.
I tend to think of money too much, so it’s reassuring to have someone by my side who will take care of my money like this.
“Then, shall we start negotiations again?”
Ayoon Jo smiled and waved at me. It meant leaving it to me and not worrying about anything.
Then we returned to the negotiation table and had a deep conversation with the owner.
She did her best to persuade us by telling us how much we were fascinated by the atmosphere of this place, even though it was only a short time, how cool the places we had been had been, and how confident she was willing to take the loss.
She charmed her boss by sometimes joking, sometimes being honest, and even going back and forth with absurd superstitions such as fatalism and feng shui and geography.
She did not forget to talk about money. As soon as the area was designated as an area on the lookout for monsters, the possibility of it being taken over was not easy. In fact, it was almost a miracle that someone appeared who wanted to take over this store.
I have repeatedly emphasized that this is a gain for you and a loss for this side.
This side will probably benefit several times later…
“How do you feel?”
The owner didn’t seem very reluctant either. Rather, it seemed tempting.
You don’t have to go looking for a store even after the new year.
I am confident, Jo Ayun!
“I’m sorry. “It’s a bit…”
It’s still a bit cool, Jo Ayun!
“Yes, yes?! Why?”
“They say you have to endure hardships when you are young… But even so, once you lose money, it is not easy to make up for it. I’m worried because I have a child around your age. I’m so glad you liked my store, but if you spend some time looking, you might find a better place. As expected, there was no story…”
“Now, wait a minute!”
Ayoon Jo hurriedly stopped her. Suddenly he approached the boss’s ear and whispered something. I couldn’t hear it from my street. I understand that the boss’s expression wasn’t very good. It’s full of doubts.
“….”
And then he took off his hat. As he slightly adjusted his hair, the boss observed him carefully and his pupils dilated as if he realized something.
“Ah….”
The boss nodded his head with a warm look.
“Okay? “I need a quiet cafe.”
“Yes… I understand. Let’s discuss it again later. “Here’s my number.”
Ayun Jo took the notepad that probably had her contact information written on it and put her hat back on.
“See you next time.”
“No, Ayuna, you have to calculate.”
Jo Ayun left the store as if she was embarrassed. I was embarrassed by the two cups of Americano that I hadn’t even counted yet. I quickly took out my wallet.
“I’m sorry. How much is it?”
“It’s okay. “I’ll give it to you as a service today.”
The boss smiled and waved his hand. It meant putting my wallet away.
“No, but the calculation is….”
“Please tell your partner. “Thank you for your hard work.”
It was only then that I realized what Jo Ayun had secretly revealed.
“Have a nice day.”
“…Have a nice day, boss.”
I walked out of the store in a good mood. It didn’t take long to catch up with Jo Ayun, who went first. He was waiting for me outside the alley.
Her cold sighs dispersed and disappeared like a falling star, and I approached in front of her.
“Are you cold?”
“No.”
“But why are your cheeks and ears so red?”
“…It’s noisy.”
She ran out at an unusually fast pace, covering her newly red face. But her strides were much narrower than mine, so it wasn’t that difficult to catch up with her.
“What did you say that such a kind owner would accept young bastards wasting his money away?”
“What are you talking about… Mr. Ha, are you going to die? Don’t laugh like that. “Looking at you smiling, I already know everything.”
“It’s not that I know, it’s that I made a prediction.”
She clicked her tongue as if her energy had been blocked, and then she muttered quickly.
She revealed, “She was a magical girl. “I’m a former magical girl, so I need a quiet place where people won’t come and visit me.”
“That’s really great.”
“What a shame… Why are you proudly saying that’s something to brag about?”
Jo A-yoon covered her face with her hands.
“Oh really….”
Did she feel ashamed that she used the fact that she was a magical girl as a weapon? It’s okay to use transformation privately, and magical girls don’t even want to mention it. Although she seemed to have a sense of her standards, she couldn’t quite figure it out.
She was sobbing and shaking, but her body gradually began to tremble with joy. As she lifted her covered face, her proud smile was in full bloom.
“Still, I got what I needed, so is it okay?”
“Okay… I’m glad I like you.”
How much did you like that store? Jo Ayun turned around for a moment and looked at the alley. I looked at the store’s lights, which glowed softly in the shadows of the back alley.
“Hey, it’s over there as expected. “That’s the only place in my heart.”
“Is it that good?”
“Yes!”
Ayoon Jo answered immediately and laughed.
“I like you, I like it too.”
Anyway, Jo Ah-yoon has a specific vision, and I can only help a little.
“What should we name our store? Oh, who should I invite to the opening ceremony? When would be a good time to set an opening date? “What is that monster hanging out here?”
Ayun smiled brightly and began to optimistically consider what to do next.
“What do you think…”
“Ayun-ah.”
“Huh?”
“You said earlier that being a magical girl wasn’t something to brag about.”
I also turned my head slightly again and looked at the alley. Although I couldn’t see it anymore, the faint scent of coffee still lingered in my nose. The sound of music coming from there and the metal sound of the last checkout counter.
“I think it’s definitely something to brag about.”
There is a lot of interest in magical girls. Some people are crazy about them, and some people are jealous of them.
But most people feel one emotion first.
“Because you’ve had a hard time.”
Thank you.
The bills left in my wallet contained gratitude that could not be contained in my wallet.

“What is it?”
Han Jaejoong looked around.
“Ha, hahahahaha….”
“Jaejoong, try this.”
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“There are no chicken legs!”
Obviously, the only thing left to do was to relax at home.
I was planning to welcome the new year quietly and comfortably.
What did this happen?
I counted down the days until the new year as I looked at the magical girls surrounding me.
