25 – Guest(1)

At lunchtime, the commercial district in Gangnam, Seoul was full of office workers who wanted to eat.

However, not all restaurants in Gangnam are booming.

If you go deeper, and head to a slightly outskirts, it is surprisingly deserted.

‘It’s hard.’

A young man in a suit was walking down the street.

A gold badge on one side of the man’s suit glittered.

His name is Siwoo Lee.

He is an emerging politician who became a member of the National Assembly at the age of 34.

Judging that there was a chronic problem with the Hunter Association, he had just visited the association and left.

And I also figured out that it was rotten as it was rotten. They didn’t recognize the Hunter as just a target to suck.

‘Damn it, this is why competent hunters always migrate.’

Read at noblemtl.com

Korea was not a good place for Hunter to work. From various taxes to regulations, regulations are all set.

Even hunters belonging to the government do not pay the salary properly.

Times were rapidly changing after Hunter came out.

It is only natural that large corporations are in the ranks of developed countries because they are resourceful, but if they do not adapt to the times, they will be weeded out.

At this rate, Korea will fall behind. Lee Si-woo, who sincerely cares about the country, always wanted to change this rotten structure.

… But there wasn’t much I could do.

Compared to his great aspirations, his own strength is less than a handful.

Still, they have a preconceived notion that a 34-year-old is a young age to do politics.

Even he is 0 line.

I decided to run for the mayor of Seoul this time, but the opponent was not easy. Didn’t they lose even though they were more easygoing candidates in the previous election?

‘It should be this time.’

At least, he is on the line, so he is maintaining his position as a member of parliament, but at this rate, far from changing Korea, his political life seems to be over.

“after… I don’t know. I need to eat first.”

He glanced around.

He was a member of the National Assembly, but he didn’t have much money to get rid of the books that would later be caught.

Aside from that, he doesn’t like crowds. That’s why I found the outskirts.

As he was looking for lunch, a certain shop caught his eye.

It was an old building, a shop where a craftsman would do something.

-S-class noodle house.

But the signs are too trendy. Siu smiled. I thought it was fortunate that there was even an S-class noodle restaurant in a country that was a wasteland for S-class hunters.

“… But one table?”

A simple notice board in front of the store had an unusual phrase written on it.

– This restaurant is a one-table restaurant.

-The menu is only one meat noodle, so don’t be angry with me for nothing.

“It’s ridiculous.”

I would never have thought there would be a crazy person who would turn round the table at a noodle restaurant.

Siwoo was curious even though he had an absurd expression on his face.

Isn’t that what noodles are? How confident do you have a round table?

“Is it rather good for me?”

Weren’t you looking for a place where there were no people anyway?

He didn’t expect much, but he opened the store because the conditions were right.

**

Lunch, a time when the restaurant is busy.

I was sipping coffee with a book on the table at that time.

How romantic!

The warm sunlight coming through the window makes me feel better.

“Is this the leisure of those who have it?”

I crossed my legs and leaned comfortably in the chair.

The store was quiet.

Because I overslept today, so I was late for work.

Originally, it was because Eugene, who always comes to wake me up, went on vacation.

He said he really wanted to go on a family trip with Yuri, who had fully recovered, so he said yes.

To be honest, I don’t mind working alone anymore. Of course, I’m not going to fire Eugene. Isn’t it a man’s dream to have a pretty woman waking him up in the morning?

‘It’s good, it’s good.’

Changing to a one table is the best choice this year.

I wake up at such a late hour, open the store, and work is not hindered even if I spend a lot of time.

Since it is a one table anyway, the number of guests is limited. When guests arrive, it is not too late to prepare it secretly.

Enjoying this moment, I closed my eyes.

I was thinking of closing my eyes until the guests arrive.

Did the tiger come if I told you?

– Tiring.

A guest has arrived.

I yawned and looked at the guest and said hello.

“Welcome… .”

While saying hello, I was embarrassed and confused.

The person who came in was the problem.

‘Go, Your Excellency?!’

An earthquake strikes the pupil.

Information quickly passed through my mind.

Siwoo Lee.

Exactly 10 years from now, this is the man who will become president.

‘no… Why are you here?’

I looked at him in bewilderment, then came to my senses when I found him staring at me in bewilderment.

It hasn’t been 10 years yet. He’s not even the president, he’s just a guest at my restaurant now.

“Could the boss here… ?”

I feel like asking if you’re the boss.

It was a little embarrassing.

To think that the boss is sitting at the only table where he can sit and enjoying reading and coffee… !

But more than all dreams, it’s an interpretation.

I said smartly.

“Oh, I am.”

“Yes?”

“Sit at the front.”

It still looks crazy.

But he won’t know that I’m more absurd.

‘Why is the man who will be the next president here?’

I have a deep relationship with Lee Si-woo.

It was I who made enormous contributions to his path to becoming president.

In my previous life I… Because it was a walking soup.

It was only natural that he called me whenever trouble arose around the world.

An existence that makes you find your master anywhere.

It was only natural that such a person openly supported a member of Congress, so it was natural for him to become president.

‘Well, because this older brother did a good job.’

There was one reason that pushed him.

Friendship is also friendly, but because it benefits me.

He was a representative hunter-friendly politician.

Support talented hunters at the national level. All sorts of tax exemptions and education are completely free of charge. A generous pension, of course… the biggest thing.

It was military exemption.

The duty of military service, which is compulsory for all healthy adult men.

There was a lot of talk about this. The first priority for hunters to immigrate to other countries was also military service. The state used to pamper a high-class talent called Hunter for free for 18 months, and that too.

Lee Si-woo is the person who solved that problem. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

‘Kuhmm, now that I think about it, I have to go to the army.’

Hunters can defer military service until the age of 35.

The average person is 30 years old.

Then I… how long do you have left?

‘f*ck, no.’

Come to think of it, it sucks.

I was not going to be interested in this life at all, but then there is no chance that Lee Si-woo will become president.

“Hmm, this book.”

“Yes?”

“You must be interested. Adolf Psychology.”

Siwoo sat down in front and started talking. vague memories. He always lived with books. He was a person who really liked books.

At that moment, an idea flashed through my head like lightning.

‘Wait a minute, this… … ‘

I’m basically threading everything in the future.

From big events, he even knows when KOSPI is screwed up.

How can I use this well to become president in this lifetime?

Lee Si-woo was basically an outstanding person.

‘yes! Let’s get to know each other.’

To get to know people, you have to find out what interests them.

The only book I read when I was young was ‘Scary is just right!’ It was only one book, but I pretended to know it and read it.

“He is a good person. Personally, I respect him.”

I spoke leisurely and slowly changed to a straight posture.

“Do you like books?”

“of course. I like.”

“I’m lucky to have someone with common interests from the first customer.”

“That’s right. I didn’t know there was a noodle shop like this around here.”

“This is a restaurant that only those in the know know about.”

“Heh heh, I need to eat it soon. But since it’s a one-table noodle restaurant, is the business going well?”

Lee Si-woo looked at me with a puzzled expression.

‘Hmm, I want to say something plausible.’

In order to get close to someone, I have to prove my charm or worth.

That you need to be verified to see if you are a suitable person.

In my previous life, my ability was so fraudulent, it would have been an automatic pass, but not now.

‘Because Siwoo Lee likes books.’

I looked at Adolf’s psychology book.

I don’t know any of the contents, but when I see that it says psychology… .

“It is not a business to make money. Serve delicious food and provide warm consolation or advice. I wanted to listen to the concerns that are difficult to tell even to my family. The one-table method is perfect for that. Maybe that’s why? I also came to like Adolf’s psychology books.”

I glanced at Lee Si-woo while working hard to make up words.

‘Did it work?’

“Hmm, that’s right. I will order.”

Lee Si-woo looked at the menu board as if he was not interested.

‘There’s no way I can do it.’

If you can get close with just one word like this, it’s a novel.

**

As I boiled the noodles, I looked at Lee Si-woo, who had a good-natured face.

‘Come to think of it, was it around this time?’

Lee Si-woo, who became president in his previous life, once told me about it.

Before meeting me, he said he was a member of the National Assembly without any power.

It is said that his political life was in danger of ending because his strength was less than a handful compared to his great aspirations.

It will be the same in this life.

‘It should be stopped.’

Lee Si-woo is the man who should be the president.

The only person who can save the rotten Republic of Korea.

That was Siwoo Lee.

Absolutely not because of my army.

However, unlike the previous rounds, there was no way to directly help him in this life.

In the end, you have to help indirectly.

Let’s lighten up the atmosphere a bit.

“That gold badge. You must be a politician.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I heard that politicians have a lot of conflicts, so it must be very difficult.”

“Yes. Well, wouldn’t that be the case anywhere?”

“You must have a lot of worries. Something like a food line.”

“That’s all.”

He looked the other way as if he was not interested in our conversation.

‘Damn it, Siwoo hyung! Let’s see and talk.’

Suddenly, I became aware of my identity.

Now I’m just the owner of a noodle restaurant.

It is not a relationship or position that can exercise influential words to him.

Just like college students don’t listen to elementary school students.

‘It can’t be helped.’

You can only force yourself to like it.

– [Lazarus Elixir: Greatly amplifies the user’s charm for a short time.]

I scooped out the noodles and poured the broth into a bowl.

Then, 3 drops of the elixir were added.

“The noodles are out.”

“thank you.”

He picked up his chopsticks and began to inhale the noodles.

I must have been very hungry.

“It is delicious.”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

He continued to eat noodles in silence.

After a while, he opened his mouth.

“I haven’t had such delicious noodles in a long time. Probably thanks to the great chef.”

His tension soared.

My eyes are also slowly taking effect.

“I will come often. I also like the atmosphere of the store. The boss is nice too.”

“Thank you so much. It’s not enough if you stop by from time to time, but I can talk to you.”

“All right. I will definitely come back often!”

“Then, how about the brother-in-law system?”

“Hyeong-ho hyung… ?”

It would be impossible if you were sober.

I was not hesitant to say such a thing.

“Don’t you hear it often? I’ll do it later anyway, but let’s do it now.”

“Maybe?”

He smiled.

It was brief, but it was possible thanks to an elixir.

Now it’s time to get into the main topic.

“Then I will call you brother.”

“great. do it.”

“Then brother, you don’t look good. What’s going on?”

“Ha-well, nothing to worry about. Because it’s not a big deal.”

“Still, I’m curious about you.”

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke up.

to sum up.

Lee Si-woo’s opinion to loosen the hunter’s restrictions and guarantee freedom is being ignored.

That his colleagues are rather preparing to cut himself out.

It was that his political life was not long left.

“I see.”

“I’m sorry to say this, when I should only talk about nice things.”

“no. than that.”

I put on a very serious expression.

“I have a way.”

“… method?”

“You just need to cut out the rotten roots with a single knife.”

“If that was possible, it would be. But I have no power.”

I handed him something.

“What is this?”

“It will be of great help.”

It was a black USB.

It was a Pandora’s box that had been stolen from the former president of the association.

Because this place contains all kinds of corruption by politicians.

There’s nothing like cutting off rotten roots.

‘Even if it’s a little wasteful.’

The military will not have to be removed.
