'What?'
Sairou felt offended when he saw his mother's reaction.
He was upset and asked his mother, “Mother, why are you laughing? Why do you laugh when you say you can have a boyfriend?
His mother could not stop laughing, “Hohohoho~! Funny when a kid who lived for 26 years and never had a girlfriend speaks proudly. You are my son, but you are truly amazing! Stomach hurts. Hohohohoho~!”
"......"
It's clearly insensitive. Is there any other son in the world who would be laughed at just like that by his mother?
As Sairou staggered in shock, his father supported his wife instead of scolding her. “Nak, make sure to have a girlfriend next year. Shouldn't you be prepared? No, think about something else first. Shouldn't you pay off your debt first? What kind of woman would want to date you when you're like this? No matter how confident, it's not easy. Do you think a thin man like you can instill confidence in your lover? Surrender to have a girlfriend for a while.”
"......"
It's also clearly insensitive.
Moreover, in the morning when she felt better than before...!! His heart, which was at its best, was shattered by the words of his parents.
“You two are too much! There's a reason I don't have a boyfriend! My debt is no problem. You two are the ones who make me like this!” Sairou poured out the words he had buried in his heart. “I don't have a lover because of Mom and Dad! If you two make me like a movie star, I'll be able to get a girlfriend. God fucking. You two make me ugly, so the girls don't care about me.”
“Gosh, did you blame us for being born like this? Lookyour sister. She came out of the same stomach as you, but she was so beautiful. Did you know that you were also born beautiful like Sehee?”
“People are not all about looks. Tsk, tsk. The more I look, the more miserable it is. ”
“Ughk..”.
Sairou was humiliated like this in the morning! Serious doubt swirled in his head.
'Was I adopted as a child?'
Maybe her parents weren't her parents.
'My parents say I am a beautiful baby, but are they really my parents ...? Am I just a kid they foster?’
The two people who raised her for 26 years were actually not her parents...!! What about her biological parents? Where are his parents? ...No, what is he doing now? It's almost time to go to work. He can't play around like this.
Sairou became calm. Then he sat down at the table and turned to his father, changing the subject. “Dad, how is Grandpa doing today? Is she as healthy as ever?”
"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking about your grandfather?"
“There was an old blacksmith NPC in the game, and he reminded me of Grandpa. I suddenly remembered Grandpa. ”
...Would his father be angry again after hearing about the game? His father might even beat him up ...
"You just suddenly thought of him," his father said in a flat voice. “Then you should come along when we visit your grandfather next month. Do you know how sorry you are for not visiting your grandfather for an entire year? "
Sairou's family has been visiting her grandparents' house every holiday since seven years ago. Seven years ago, her grandmother died, so this visit was an attempt to calm her grandfather's loneliness.
'Mom and Dad tried to persuade my grandfather to stay with us, but he flatly refused. Maybe he thought he'd be a burden.’
Sairou had been loved by his grandfather since he was young, so he visited his grandfather every year until last year. He never once visited after starting Satisfy. This was because he wanted to play games instead of taking time off to travel to his grandfather's house.
"I'm an unfilial bastard."
Is his grandfather currently lonely, like Khan? Sairou was worried because he could catch a glimpse through Khan of how the lonely old man could act. In the future, he should try to visit his grandfather as often as possible.
“I'm done eating.”
After a while, he finished his breakfast and immediately headed to his workplace. The people who had come filled the office with tobacco smoke. The cigarette smoke caused Sairou a headache.
‘Why do they like to smoke, even though cigarettes are just a waste of energy and money? If I had the money they spent on buying cigarettes. After the item creation went smoothly, I no longer need to return here.’
He could make a lot of money by making and selling things. From then on, Satisfy would be his job. He could lie in his capsule all day and not have to listen to his parents' nagging. Nevertheless, for that to happen, he would have to win against the Mero Company.
'I can use Khan's workshop as Headquarters. I have to win the Match and protect Khan's workshop.'
...***...
"Why are you doing such a shitty thing?"
Production match for Blacksmith workshop...? Valmont could not understand the Rabbit's intentions.
“If Khan can't pay me back, it's natural to use the workshop as collateral. Khan did not have the ability to pay off his debts. In other words, the workshop will definitely enter my hands. Sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. I want to speed it up, which is why I let you handle this matter. Did you forget your mission?”
Bam!
Valmont threw the apple he was chewing against the wall, and pieces of the apple splattered on Rabbit's face. Rabbit quietly took out his handkerchief and wiped his dirty face.
Seeing Rabbit's dignified demeanor, Valmont snorted and shouted, “Why did you give Khan hope by making a useless bet? Wh why? You opened up the opportunity that he might be able to have a workshop. Have you been bribed by Khan? ”
Rabbit is the man Valmont trusted more than anyone before today. This is a simple example that reveals the character of Valmont, who does not trust people well.
Rabbit explained calmly, “At the moment, our main headquarters is in Winston. But unfortunately, the residents of Winston had recognized the Mero Company as their enemy. Considering the long-term perspective of the business development of the Mero Company, it is best to be friendly with the Winston residents. They should be concerned with the Mero Company to help develop it. But the Mero Company had taken away their treasures. It will not be easy to calm them.”
“Company... take their treasure? Pshaw! Sophism! The value of their land is nonsense. I paid for and bought the land legally. They welcomed him too. Now they're sorry because the land is growing and prices are rising? People who are really Stupid!”
“They won't be so worried now if you use some of the profits from the land to benefit them. Then they will appreciate it and contribute to the development of the Mero Company in the long run.”
“In other words, am I the bad one? Pshaw! Winston residents are still criticizing all the work I've done.”
“‘Do not look at people's backs. You will succeed by following money.’ Sir, you have such a strategy. But my opinion is a little different. It's important to capture people's hearts. Money will come naturally. People who are grateful to the Mero Company and will develop into loyal customers.”
"You...!" Valmont looked at Rabbit in a threatening manner. “Don't try to teach me! Do I look like a child to you? You just have to do what I tell you to do. And what's with this shit? Get to the point! Why are you making such a bad bet with Khan? ”
'This is the Valmont limit. It would be difficult to grow the Mero Company further.'
The reason why the Mero Company could grow this size was because when Valmont was young, he listened to Rabbit's advice and ran his business accordingly. However, Valmont was now filled with arrogance and egoism, and he no longer listened to Rabbit's advice.
'After this business is done, I have to go.' Rabbit made up his mind and decided to explain his intentions to Valmont. “Khan's position in Winston is very high. There were many people who thought of him as a hero who fought against the Mero Company. Under these circumstances, if the Mero Company took Khan's workshop in an evil manner, the anger of the population would spiral out of control and would likely lead to a revolt. The residents will work as a group to deter the Mero Company, ultimately harming it. ”
Valmont started listening.
Rabbit continued his explanation, “I am confident that I can reform the image of the company through this match. 'Why did they give Khan a chance, when they could only take his workshop?' People will start to suspect. Then I'll advertise that 'we recognize Khan's skills and want to give him a chance.' This suggests that the Mero Company could be a friend rather than an enemy. Then the perception of the public to the company will change drastically. They will think that the Mero Company not only moves for money and also cares for people.”
“...So we'll get loyal customers?”
"Yes." Yeah."
“Hmm.”
Valmont's still not convinced. Nonetheless, he did not feel the need to stop something that had already begun. In the end, Valmont decided to support Rabbit.
“If you hire a great blacksmith, we can win right?”
"Of course."
"In addition, the opponent is not Khan?"
“According to my research, he is a young man whose reputation is so bad that it is doubtful he is a blacksmith.”
"OKAY. Hire the best blacksmith. Don't worry about the money."
Valmont is not enough in many ways, but one of the positives is that he is quick to make decisions. Moreover, if he had no positive aspects, how could he be the ruler of a giant corporation?
The rabbit smiled with satisfaction. "I've found someone."
No matter how bad Khan's condition was, he wasn't stupid enough to entrust it to an unskilled person. So Rabbit wants to be wary of a young man named Rous. But when Rabbit meets Rous, he sees that Rous has no experience. Rous was the one who could not win against Rabbit. Rabbit was confident that if he chose a suitable blacksmith, they would not lose the match.
"After all, I can't be careless."
Still, Rabbit has a cautious nature, and he tries to get the best results every time. So he'll be on guard this time. He'll hire the best blacksmith.
