Chapter 201 – Episode 201
“Master, welcome!”
I’m surprised.
The moment I entered May World to keep the promise I made with Lee Woo-joo, the owner of the maid café, I thought I had come to the wrong place.
‘I thought I had entered a pseudo-religious building.’
That can’t be possible.
I was responsible for watching Yoon Su-ah come to work and leave work every time, and there was no sign of anything like that.
Then, why on earth did I feel that way just now?
‘Is it because strange videos have been appearing on shorts these days?’
Should we say this is the process of creating a pseudo-religion?
I hear something like that pops up often. It was so amazing.
I thought that only people who were lacking in some way or who were mentally driven would join pseudo-religions, but that was not the case.
There were quite a few people who led more normal social and daily lives than expected.
I was slightly convinced after seeing the method explained.
Religion gives people what they want. Whether it’s psychological stability, or providing physical satisfaction by using people of the same religion. Or whatever.
Because they give you what you want like that, even normal people are tempted to join.
He explained that gradually, without realizing it, one becomes familiar with various doctrines and becomes naturally educated and becomes a faithful church member.
‘Wow, I’m scared.’
When I didn’t know anything, I thought a normal person would never fall into something like that.
After hearing the explanation, I realized that even a normal person would just skip it.
So it’s scary.
‘They said something again.’
Here too, it is said to be divided into ‘real’ and ‘fake’.
Real religion not only lasts a long time by providing what people actually want, but also naturally grows in size over time. In the case of fakes, they are only a means of profit to enrich the creator’s stomach, so they disappear quickly after making a big scam.
This is truly ridiculous.
Where can there be real and fake in a pseudo? It’s all fake.
‘Well, whatever I know about religion, I can’t say anything because the only thing I know is the Christian Siloam that I saw at the Nonsan training center.’
Only people who know criticism can do it. For non-religious people like me who didn’t know what religion was, it was best to just stay quiet.
As long as it’s not around me, it’s fine.
“Master! Could you please take just one picture with me? “I will treasure it!”
“Yes?”
“Ah! Shamefully! Master, me too! “I’d like to ask for one too!”
“… ?”
A question mark appeared above my head as I saw the maids suddenly approaching.
What’s going on here?
“There are no guests right now, right? In the meantime, Hyunwoo comes. “I think the kids are bored and want one of each.”
“Ah…”
I felt something strange and was about to tilt my head, but before I knew it, Lee Woo-ju, dressed in street clothes without rabbit ears, came out of the locker room and explained.
Looking at you like this, you definitely look young and stylish. No. It’s harder to see young girls these days who don’t have a good fashion sense or style. Everyone takes very good care of themselves.
‘If you live like that, you won’t get tired.’
Should I say that this is the average for Korea these days? I feel like expectations for Koreans have risen too high, not only domestically but also overseas.
It’s a story that doesn’t matter to an idiot like me.
“Well, so… Picture. Just one piece, how could that not happen?”
“Ah, a photo. “Good.”
It’s a two-shot with a maid that can only be taken if you pay a lot of money. There is no need to refuse.
Above all, everyone seemed to be asking so earnestly that it was difficult to refuse.
On the other hand, I was a little happy that maids with considerable beauty and body treated me like this. I guess men are inevitable animals.
‘Maybe I’m just a piece of trash that can’t be helped?’
I’m laughing.
The maids take turns taking pictures with me one by one. Everyone tried to cling to each other somehow, but belatedly flinched and carefully fell.
What? Does my body smell at all?
I sniffed it and smelled it just in case. There was no bad smell, only the scent of fragrant cherry blossom fabric softener.
“I will take a picture.”
“Thank you.”
The funny thing is that in the meantime, both the person filming and the person being filmed are very serious.
Do you guys take psychic pictures?
After a while, all the maids are jumping around in their seats with great excitement as they look at the pictures coming out of the photo printer. Anyone who sees it will think you took a photo with a celebrity.
“I think it’s all over, so shall we go?”
“Ah… Yes is it so. Let’s go, Hyunwoo.”
Lee Wu-ju, who flinched, nodded his head.
“Do you have anything to say? Or would you like to take a picture with me, Woo Joo?”
“… Yes? Oh, no. It’s okay.”
I laughed a little.
“They said the maid uniform and rabbit ears were her signature, but she got really shy after taking them off. Shouldn’t it be the opposite?”
“Ah… Well, it’s not like this usually. Lol. Oh, is it because there is no alcohol in it?”
“Then let’s go get a drink. You said you like talking? Please buy me a lot of delicious food. Because I’m ready to listen too.”
“Yes! Well, then where do you want to go? Is there anything you would like to eat?”
He is very polite.
Was she such a polite woman?
“Hmm. These are not empty words. Really anything is fine. “Personally, she has never felt that the food she paid for and ate was tasteless.”
You must have very cheap taste. Because of that kind of appetite, I was able to survive for nearly a year by eating only frozen fried rice and scraps.
“Well, then beef… How do you feel?”
I opened my eyes wide.
“Yes? Cow, beef?”
Even if you say you’ll get a kick out of it.
In fact, I was planning on taking the first round as a thank you for hiring Suah Yoon, but I was shocked by the word that suddenly came out.
Was Lee Woo-joo trying to buy me something that expensive?
It seems like maid café sales are perfect these days.
“Beef, beef… Yes. What. It’s good.”
“Oh, I’m telling you just in case. Because I’m the one shooting! Don’t calculate for nothing. Got it?”
“Okay.”
I nodded my head because he emphasized it several times.
The natural calculation method shown by Han Ae-bom was already emerging in my mind. He is a benefactor in his own way, but it would be burdensome to receive beef from such a person.
That’s how I left the store. The maids who were holding the photo in their hearts all lowered their heads.
“Have a good time, master.”
I’m surprised.
“… Everyone has a very strong professional spirit.”
“Yes. Everyone is like that. Master. Huh! “I’m sorry without realizing it.”
“No, Su-ah often says that too these days. That’s because the word ‘master’ keeps sticking to my lips.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Lee Woo-joo smiled and stood next to me.
[Miracle Meat Restaurant]
Maybe it was because it was quite late when I was supposed to meet Lee Woo-joo. When I searched online, most of them said they were closed, but this was the only place that was open.
We even had to wait for about 20 minutes. If the wait had only been 30 minutes, I would have given up. It’s worth waiting for about 20 minutes. Isn’t that how delicious it is?
“Mr. Hyunwoo.”
“Yes.”
“I can feel it because we’re standing next to each other like this.”
“Yes.”
“It’s very reassuring. “A lot.”
“Ah… Yes. What. “Contrary to what it looks like, I have some confidence in putting in effort in one way or another.”
Stamina +10, stamina +12, strength +7, agility +4.
At this level, it’s a monster. However, if you wear clothes that are a bit loose, it won’t be noticeable on the outside. Do you feel that? Unless you have scouts in your eyes…
“Customer number 92, please come in.”
“Oh, it’s us. Let’s go in.”
“Yes.”
The store was full of customers.
In the past, I would gasp when I saw things like this, but to what extent have I gained confidence in myself now? I don’t really feel anything now.
“At that moment, the tables inside were empty. “I will guide you.”
“Thank you.”
“You can see and choose the meat with your own eyes. Or you can order from the kiosk here. Have a delicious meal.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Sirloin, tenderloin, salchisal… People are amazed when they see the parts that cannot be left out when talking about beef.
Lee Woo-joo, sitting across from him, was muttering with a serious expression.
“Miracle… Just in time?”
“What are you doing?”
“Ah! It’s nothing. Rather, Hyunwoo can freely order whatever meat he wants to eat. Because I live today.”
“All right. “I’ll order the meat, so get ready to talk about it to your heart’s content.”
“Oh, yes.”
[Your order has been completed.]
After a while, beautiful pieces of beef that left us in awe were brought out on a plate. The soybean paste stew that came out as a service had a delicious smell.
“Let’s chat and eat leisurely.”
“Yes. Oh, please give me the tongs.”
“Are you okay. “I will bake it.”
“Ah… Yes.”
Lee Woo-joo, who flinched, began to tell various stories.
I opened a maid café with big intentions, but the sales weren’t as good as I expected. The boss job he thought would be easy is not easy. The pressure on loan interest is enormous. There are even stories of people suffering from small circular hair loss and stress headaches as a result.
“…”
I was worried about how to respond when someone said something otaku-like, which made me even more embarrassed. I didn’t know that only negative stories would come out like this.
We weren’t even in a relationship to talk about this seriously.
‘You mean it’s that hard, right?’
Cheer up, everything will be fine in the future.
… He was secretly savoring the beef to his heart’s content while giving a stereotypical reaction like
“It’s actually starting to work out! Ever since Hyunwoo came to visit!”
“Cough! Cough!”
I put two large pieces of sirloin on fresh lettuce, finished it with garlic, salt, and green onion, and as I put it in my mouth, I started coughing.
“Gwae, are you okay?”
“Fine… Collock, it’s okay. No, because my name suddenly appeared there. I’m a bit surprised. I didn’t do anything. Even if I did, Su-ah would have done it.”
“It was Hyunwoo who sent Su-ah.”
Can it be like that?
“Recently, the store’s sales have been increasing. The return rate of customers who visited the store also increased. Not to mention the best-selling omelet rice, the alopecia areata and stress headaches that had been bothering me have completely disappeared.”
“That’s a perfect thing. Yes…”
“Yes. So I wanted to say that I am truly grateful. In that sense, I hope you enjoy it to your heart’s content.”
Seeing Lee Woo-joo who had finally calmed down, I also relaxed for a while.
Expensive beef. Even though I buy beef with my own money, it would be unfair if I got sick while eating it.
“I’m sorry for being so excited and saying strange things a little while ago. I guess there are a lot of things that have accumulated in one way or another. These are things I couldn’t easily tell even to my friends.”
I nodded.
“I can’t easily tell my friends about things like that.”
Isn’t it amazing?
In the past, it was my friends who I told myself about such things, but these days it’s the opposite. How did this really happen?
“Are you feeling a little relieved?”
“Yes! “Then let’s start the real story now.”
Yes?
Starting with the story of the recently popular animation that started to follow, Virtual YouTuber? Holy Live? Ace Four? Stellhive?
As I listened to stories I couldn’t understand at all, I thought it would be better to be depressed.
‘Wow, I have no idea. Not one.’
They say they’ve been subscribing for two years already, and it shows that Rabbit Virtual YouTuber has over 2 million subscribers.
Oh my gosh, there are over 2 million. I didn’t even know that people like this existed.
‘Wow, if you have 2 million subscribers, doesn’t that mean you’re famous around the world? But why am I seeing this for the first time?’
Still, I understand this one thing.
‘Let’s just eat this and go home. ‘I can’t do the second round.’
After all, being the owner of a maid café isn’t for everyone. Thinking that I was reasonably full, I stood up.
“I’m going to go to the bathroom.”
“Oh, yes.”
I grinned as I watched Lee Woo-joo fiddling with the receipt.
As Han Ae-bom showed me before, I thought it would be cool to pay in advance and then go to the checkout counter.
“I will pay 210,000 won.”
“Huh. Yes. Here…”
We filled our stomachs with beef, but I never thought we would eat this much even if we ate together. I thought while trying to act calm.
‘Aren’t you spending more money since you became unemployed than when you worked at the convenience store?’
Surprisingly, it was true.
After finishing the calculation, I was about to return to my seat.
There was a sound from next to me.
I turned my head to see something and was startled.
Lee Woo-joo, who had dropped the receipt, was standing there with a pale complexion.
As if someone had committed a great sin.
