Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 665

The first place we arrived after leaving with Mo Yong-hee was a city not far away.

I wondered what on earth they had dragged me out for, but in reality, it wasn’t anything special.

“Sales have dropped a bit.”

At her light words, the man in front of her wipes his cold sweat and speaks.

“Well, that happened because a new store opened in front…”

Sarak-.

Mo Yong-hee did not look at the man, but only looked at the book filled with words.

“Are you saying it’s because of competitors? “Mr. Guest.”

“you’re right. “I think it’s because it’s a guesthouse operated directly by Mang, so a little bit of the customers are leaving there.”

“Hmm.”

Despite the man’s explanation, Mo Yong-hee was still only looking at the book.

“That might be possible. In fact, there is information that customers who used our guest cups are also using some of the famous guest cups.”

Myeonghwa Gaekjan was the name of the guesthouse currently operated by the Murim Alliance in Hanam.

“So, I have no intention of blaming the owner even if sales have dropped, but…”

Sarak.

Immediately after Mo Yong-hee-ah read the last page of the manuscript.
Only then did she look at the man, and his gaze seemed unusually cold.

“Is there something a little strange?”

“…!”

The man is shocked by Mo Yong-hee’s words.
I could clearly see the cold sweat flowing behind the thick wrinkles on my neck.

“I know that sales have decreased due to fewer customers, but… compared to that, the number of alcohol sold has increased, and in particular, high-end liquor has been sold in unusually large quantities. “Is there any other reason?”

In response to Mo Yong-hee’s question, the man swallows dry saliva briefly and immediately spits out the words.

“Hahaha, it’s because there have been a lot of great-grandchildren visiting the guest house recently.”

“Big hands? Any relevant information?”

“Here it is.”

Without the slightest hesitation, the man took out a certificate from his pocket and handed it to Mo Yong-hee.

Immediately Mo Yong-hee opened it, and there were several names written on the scroll.

“Miphenomenal Danju…. Ark of Realization….”

Although they were not the leaders of a famous organization, they were people you might have heard of somewhere recently.
So-called.

‘They are poor people.’

At the same time as the outbreak of the red monsters, they were exporting weapons through gaps.

As the era of peace came to an end, the importance of weapons grew the most, and those who prepared early were able to reap great benefits.

“No matter what kind of wind is blowing these days, these precious people come to visit us often. Thanks to this, sales were not able to drop significantly…”

“Hmm… I see.”

Mo Yong-hee nods slightly while listening to the man.

Is it because I thought it went well? A small look of relief flashes across the man’s face.

“Regarding the drop in sales… I will work hard to recover somehow in the future.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Yonghee Mo laughed and cut off the man’s words.

Did you notice something? The man’s eyes waver slightly.

“It’s hard to say that the drop in sales is solely the owner’s fault. There is no need to put any effort into it. “You just have to continue operating as you do now.”

“Ji, Branch Manager…”

At Mo Yong-hee’s words, emotion appeared in the man’s eyes for a moment.

Those were unexpectedly warm words.

“Ah, I will continue to work hard in the future…!”

“Yes, please do so.”

Mo Yong-hee smiled and answered the guest’s call.
He folded the book in his hand neatly and put it in his bosom, then walked out of the guesthouse.

I thought as I looked at Mo Yong-hee’s back.

Maybe you didn’t notice anything strange?
There was a time when I thought that way.

‘…This is already the third time.’

Thinking back on what I had done earlier, those worries had long since disappeared.

See it now too.

Mo Yong-hee’s expression, which had been smiling just a moment ago, became cold, and with a graceful gesture, he handed the certificate to the person next to him.

And then.

“Clean it up.”

He added in an eerie voice.

Do you mean to get rid of the letter, or to get rid of that old man named Gaekju?

I didn’t have any doubts. I already knew the answer.

“I heard he was quite smart, but I never thought he would embezzle so foolishly.”

It was as if he was thinking of an insect.
The feeling of contempt is so clear.

“Did you think that if I wrote down the ledger like this and manipulated it with alcohol, I wouldn’t notice it?”

It’s so insignificant.

That kind of tone was evident in Mo Yong-hee’s voice.

“Please report the guest to the headquarters and get rid of it. Please also keep a close eye on those listed here.”

“All right.”

The man who listened carefully took over the letter.

“We will draw a list of new guests within two days.”

“please. Oh, and in particular, Mihyeonsangdanju has a few weaknesses that have been caught…”

It’s a breeze.

It was the moment when the owner of a famous guest house in Hanam changed with just a few words.

“I will report separately to Danju, so please do what I ask you to do.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

As if the conversation was over, the person holding the letter slowly disappeared.

“Whoa.”

Soon Mo Yong-hee took a deep breath and gently waved the fan.
I asked while looking at it.

“it’s over?”

Mo Yong-hee looks in my direction at my question.
Fascinating eyes resembling those of a cat are visible.

The person who painted lightly makes Mo Yong-hee’s atmosphere brighter.

I can feel the gaze of those around me.
Even though he was hiding it with a subtle aura, it was like this.

‘I feel like non-realization is insignificant.’

In terms of bewitchment alone, it might be similar to Bi Hyun-hwa or Mo Yong-hee, but in terms of quality, there was a clear difference.

If you say that Bihyeonhwa is trying to look more attractive by taking advantage of her appearance.
Yonghee Mo has an atmosphere that comes from her very existence.

It feels noble and elegant.
It feels like looking at a well-made piece of jewelry.

As I was staring at Mo Yong-hee with concentration without realizing it, she answered my question.

“Half done.”

half?

“Now it’s halfway…?”

“yes.”

I’ve been wandering around since early morning and it’s now noon.
Time has passed so quickly, but only half has passed…?
As I made a dumbfounded expression, Mo Yong-hee looked at me and burst into laughter.

“Confucius, do you know how funny you look on your face right now?”

“…Now we’re halfway through? “It’s already past lunch without even eating?”

“So, did you think the work would end quickly?”

“At least I knew how to eat.”

“Rice is everywhere.”

When I talk about lunch time, Mo Yong-hee walks ahead of me.
I was looking for something, but the place she was heading to was one of the street vendors spread out in front of her.

At first glance, it looked like they were selling skewers.

“Would you like two?”

“Ah…yes, yes!”

The owner was seen to stop, probably surprised, when he saw Mo Yong-hee suddenly approaching.

It seems like he didn’t know that the woman would come to his store.

…to do it.

‘Even if it were me, I’d be surprised.’

If I didn’t know about Mo Yong-hee-ah, I might have looked at her with surprised eyes as well.
By all appearances, Mo Yong-hee is a blood relative from a prestigious family.

Moreover, when a woman full of elegance suddenly said that she would buy skewers from a street vendor and eat them, even those who were secretly watching seemed somewhat surprised.

“W-Here I am….”

“Thank you.”

He accepts the two skewers handed to him with trembling hands and gives one to me.
I asked while looking at this.

“…Is this lunch?”

“why? It’s delicious. Confucius, don’t you like this kind of thing?”

Occasionally, there were a few cases where people from famous or prestigious families disliked street food.
I can understand if you are talking about hygiene. The majority were close to the last price.

When I was young, I used to be like that too.

“Who doesn’t know what’s delicious? “I’m asking if this fills my stomach.”

It’s a life where you go through all sorts of things.
The leisure to spend money on things like this has long since disappeared.

I took it and took a bite.
Seeing me eating, Mo Yong-hee also eats together.

“It’s delicious.”

“I know. “I need to eat a couple more.”

It’s not a proper meal, but whatever. If it fills your stomach, that’s food.

I nodded, thinking that it was okay to eat something.

“is it so. “Oh, by the way, Confucius, I didn’t bring any money with me.”

“…huh?”

“Please buy it.”

I had to laugh at his confident tone.

“What are you going to do without me?”

“well. “I didn’t think about it that far.”

Fortunately, I had money on hand.

After eating a few more, I paid the fare and moved on.

I ate a few more things while moving. As I watched Mo Yong-hee eating, a thought occurred to me.

“Are you eating better than you think?”

“is that so?”

The point is that Mo Yong-hee eats much better than expected.

Of course, although not as much as Wei Xue’er, she was swallowing this and that well.

“It’s delicious. Especially since it’s been a while since I’ve had something like this.”

“How long has it been since you ate it?”

“well…? “I think it’s been about half a year.”

“Why are you so patient? “If you like it, just eat it.”

I’ve been patient for half a year.

“It’s not necessarily a great reason. Normally, when I see something I like, I tend to hold back.”

“For what?”

“If you try to have and eat everything you want, you might get sick of it quickly. “That’s not good.”

There was something strange about what he said while looking at me.

“So hold on. “It’s a precious feeling, so we have to save it.”

Does this mean that we should eat delicious food sparingly?
It seemed like I could roughly understand it that way.

“What about Confucius?”

“Me what?”

“Why are you so obsessed with eating?”

“…huh?”

It was an unexpected question.

“They get especially concerned when I tell them I haven’t eaten.”

“Did I do that?”

“yes. You said that a lot. “They often ask me if I’ve eaten anything.”

“hmm.”

Now that I think about it, I think it was like that.

“I guess I could just eat and pass by. “Why are you doing that?”

Mo Yong-hee spits out words as if she doesn’t understand.
My gaze when I looked at her was filled with a bit of disappointment.

“Why do you look at me like that?”
“Nothing.”

It had to be that way.

Because I never thought I would hear these words from Mo Yong-hee, not from anyone else.

If I came to think that food was important, I definitely did that.

‘It’s probably because of you.’

Mo Yong-hee in front. To be exact, it’s probably because of the snow peaks.
