Chapter 1698 – [A Debut That Causes a Typhoon!!!]

Me and Eden spent time separately on Sundays preparing or working on various things. For example, I prepared for the store to open, and Eden visited the hospital for resuscitation.

Over the past two weeks, numerous people have been taken to Seoul National University Hospital. Of course, we can’t revive them all. It is not a lack of ability or time, but because the soul entered reincarnation after death in the first place.

However, the human mind hangs its neck on even the slimmest possibilities. This is especially true if the life of a precious person is at stake. Even if there is no soul left, and it cannot be revived…

Moreover, these days, with resuscitation insurance and other services, people can quickly rescue people or preserve their bodies when they die, so more people are flocking to them. Honestly, I can’t blame you for that.

It is also unfortunate that the family feels broken upon hearing that they cannot be revived, but it cannot be helped. For them, it is no different from losing their family twice.

Although there were only a handful of people who could be saved, the joys and sorrows of those families are still mixed. One side dies and the other lives, literally going back and forth between life and death.

“So what did I say, Yunsu’s father? Did you make a good decision to buy that amulet?”

“Really, it’s dizzying to even think about what I would have done without that.”

However, a strange story came out, which caught my interest, and Eden also asked the couple. I can understand insurance, but a talisman? What amulet?

“What amulet?”

“Oh, that’s… It’s an amulet that holds the soul so that it can be resurrected after death. It’s something I bought through a connection across the street…”

The cause of death on her husband’s side, who was subject to resuscitation treatment, was illness. Since it was not an accidental death, his belongings were relatively safe, and he soon took out a carefully folded amulet from his wallet and showed it to us.

It’s just a superficial talisman. Eden is the one who knows a lot about this, but since I see people using amulets on a regular basis, I also know to a certain extent, but looking at it with my own eyes, I don’t see any spiritual power in the roughly made amulet.

“Hmm, really? I understand.”

For now, Eden finished without saying anything. It looks like they are planning to handle this matter through the Cheonmu Association.

No, but it’s not a niche market and scams like this are already appearing. I think that humans’ earnest desire for longevity and immortality and the use of that to commit fraud are quite clever.

“In the first place, talismans that capture souls are difficult to make properly, and their effectiveness is not guaranteed. These are all scams.”

“Even if you think it’s because of the amulet, it’s actually just luck.”

“That’s why the rumor spreads further, which is a problem. There are people who couldn’t be revived, but there is one person, so it’s going to be like a pseudo-scientific product that claims it’s effective.”

“I guess we need to crack down harder.”

“I have no intention of making something like that, and even if I do, the Cheonmu Association will have to put a serial number on it and sell it.”

Holding on to a soul about to enter reincarnation may be a good thing for the person receiving resuscitation, but there is ample room for abuse.

If you kill someone and put an amulet in an unseen place, that person will become a Jibakryeong until the amulet’s effect runs out. It is absolutely terrible because it means that you will suffer even after death.

This is an agenda that Phantom will jump into immediately if he finds out. The reason I put him in the Horizon and made him whine was to use the expedient method of leaving behind the brain and other organs, so he is biologically alive, not a soul. But if you only touch the actual soul, you are definitely guilty.

Anyway, I decided to crack down on that matter by telling it to the Cheonmu Association. It’s not like he’s an unregistered person with special abilities, he’s probably just a fraudster, so how can he use our Eden to scam people? If I catch you, I will secretly go and kill you.

So I spend the weekend working and Monday comes. I’m busy getting ready for work for the first time in a while, but Eden wakes up leisurely and eats breakfast.

“What, aren’t we going out together?”

“No lectures on Monday mornings this semester.”

“That’s why you have to plan your course plan well. Don’t you want to be able to relax and enjoy it when everyone else is busy?”

“Instead, you have to take care of your grades and things like that.”

[Now that I think about it, I’ve been here for the first time in two weeks, so I need to take care of the Garden of Eden. If there are any backlogged documents, I have to take care of them, and I have to manage the elixir part myself.]

“Keter is having a hard time too.”

Lulu, who was next to him, was munching on toast covered in jam when she screamed in surprise.

“What, then I’m the only unemployed person in my family?!?!?”

“Uh… I guess so?”

“Suddenly, I became desperate for a job. I haven’t heard anything from my dad about work since I got engaged…”

“When I think about it, I wonder what kind of marriage and retirement it is.”

“I’m not married yet. I’m just engaged.”

“Uh huh, if you worry about the little things, you’ll lose.”

“It’s not trivial!!!!”

When I think about it, I think Lulu is the only one in my family who is unemployed. First, I go out to the store and Zion stays at home, but he works from home and runs various businesses or investments.

Eden is a streamer and a talented person from the Cheonmu Association. He is busy with resuscitation procedures these days, and Mary has relatively less work, but she still goes on business trips to Australia and acts as Bertus’ agent when necessary. In short, it’s similar to a secretary.

The more ambiguous ones are Korma and Eve. Korma is at the level of a professional housekeeper because she does all the housework. You can see how much work was done thanks to self-immolation.

Eve is still a child to begin with. Her older sister, Eden, is now 20, and she doesn’t need to get a job because she’s younger than I. She, like Zion, is learning by helping her mother with her work separately at home.

In other words, Lulu is the only one who doesn’t do anything. She loafs around at home and eats. I didn’t pay much attention until now, but it suddenly occurred to me that this is also a problem.

“If you don’t work, don’t eat!!!! You are just a machine that eats every day!!!!!”

“Should I get a part-time job? Is there any part-time job that offers special hiring for Bloodier?”

“If you go to a dimensional civilization, half the people will be scared and half the people will try to take advantage of it.”

“I think we can start a business that consumes and disposes of nuclear waste.”

[I am already a player.]

“Now that I think about it, we dealt with Chernobyl and Fukushima!!!!! Damn!!!!!”

“That doesn’t mean there won’t be radioactive waste, but it won’t be as urgent as before.”

In the past, environmental pollution would have been a big problem and difficult to deal with, so it would have been in the spotlight, but on this Earth, radioactive contamination areas such as Chernobyl and Fukushima were cleaned up, so the risk was relatively low.

Of course, if you want to do it, the governments of each country will be interested, but I would say it is less than before. There is a difference between not having a substitute and having a substitute.

“Introducing Korma’s mom, then Eve, and then Lulu, are you already planning to go out and spread the word?”

“Isn’t there a problem with debuting at Garden of Eden anyway?”

“Instead, people’s interest will be even greater. Because someone they saw in the game has appeared. If my broadcast comes on, it will take some steam off, but if it comes on before that, there will be an incident.”

“If anyone asks, I have to say out loud that I am a fiancé!!!!!”

“Hey!!!!!!!”

“Wow, Lulu’s debut will be very loud.”

I missed the story for a moment, but the first thing to think about right now is Lulu’s employment. Even if she doesn’t do any work, she can feed and put her to sleep, but that’s also a problem if a person doesn’t work.

There are people who don’t do business for no reason. It’s just a day or two of spending time and having fun.

“Hmm, then should I introduce you to my part-time job?”

“What part-time job?”

“There is a café where I used to work part-time. It also used to be a bakery, and they only sell the bread they made that day, so if you have any leftover bread, you can get it.”

“Wow!!!!! Sounds delicious!!!!!! I want to try it!!!!!”

“Then I should contact the boss for the first time in a while.”

Come to think of it, Eden also had a part-time job back in the day. There was a bit of a bad thing, but I handled it well, and now it remains as a memory.

After graduating from high school and going to college, I stopped working part-time, but my business was still doing well after that. Rather, since it is rumored to be a store where Wakamo shaman used to work part-time, I visit it with the feeling of a pilgrimage.

I know because I often stop by to buy bread. It’s a good store because the owner is nice, and the bread is delicious.

After thinking about it, Eden immediately contacted the boss there. It was a little early, so I was wondering if it would be okay, but since I am self-employed and make my own bread, I received it quickly.

-Ah!!! Eden student!!! What happened?

“Hello, boss. It’s been a while. How have you been?”

-Of course it is me. Thanks to the Eden students, business actually went well. Moreover, the student’s father often stops by.

“Then that’s a good thing. Ah, what I contacted wasn’t anything else…”

Eden slowly talked about Lulu.

Oh, of course I won’t talk about anything deep. To be honest, that’s a bit too much of a problem. However, I still talked about the basics in a way that he could accept.

“My friend is looking for a part-time job, and I contacted you to see if there was any room at your store. I was wondering if you would be okay with it.”

-Part-time job? Honestly, this is a request from an Eden student, so I have to listen. However, since there are part-time workers currently being hired, I cannot just hire them and I think I will have to make some adjustments.

“You can only pay the minimum wage for a while. This is my first part-time job. Instead, if the business goes well in the future, just give me incentives. And…”

-Is there any other reason?

“She’s pretty. But not as pretty as me.”

“Hey!!!!! Honestly, I’m gorgeous!!!!!”

-Oh…

The boss over there seemed like he would accept it for now. Accordingly, Lulu’s first job was decided.

Documents and such are not particularly difficult issues. It’s just that it’s difficult to go out, but the identity itself has been created separately. Ah, but what happened to Lulu’s ID?

“Shall I show you?”

“So… Oh, mid-20s? You made me older than I thought?”

“Honestly, when I think about it later, isn’t it a bit much that I’m younger than Eden? Even so, I don’t think I’m a mother who is younger than my daughter by any means.”

“Woah!!! Official!!!!”

“So, do it well. It’s an engagement anyway, so you just have to keep in mind that it could be broken and act accordingly.”

“Wow, I thought I could actually eat everything even if I couldn’t eat people.”

“Oh, honestly, I also want to find out the truth.”

“So you are allowing it?!”

“If possible, don’t do it.”

“Alas!!!!”

I’m a little worried.

In a situation where I wanted to proceed gradually, I decided to do it right away. They said that even if the contract is written later, I will work first, so I have to show my face to the store owner separately.

Meanwhile, Eden, who had been relaxed because there were no lectures this morning, also quickly got ready to go out. Of course, the main character, Lulu.

“But what do I do if I make money?”

“Everyone here is done. I can’t believe they’re thinking about what they’ll do if their paycheck comes before they even get it.”

“Once I make money, I think I’ll buy something and send it to my dad.”

“… I wonder how King Bloodier will react.”

Absolutely self-sufficient dimensional species. King Bloodier is a transcendent being that no one can ignore even if they search across all dimensions, but I wonder what he would think when he sees the gift that a child like his daughter sent him with the money he earned through hard work.

I’m sure I’ll like it, but I don’t know how they’ll react… I hope they don’t react too much.

Anyway, something happened suddenly, but we decided to leave a little early, and Eden, I, and Lulu headed to Café Naru where Eden previously worked part-time.

It was the same as before, but since it wasn’t open for business yet, there were no customers in the idle café. The store door was open, so I sneaked inside and the owner, who was in the middle of making bread, heard the noise and came out.

“Oh, welcome…”

Although he had expected Eden, he had not expected the appearance of Lulu and me and was speechless. After giving him time to understand the situation, we sat down and talked about our part-time jobs.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that the Emperor of Evil would come in person.”

“No, I stopped by on my way to work too. Since we are both self-employed, don’t we work similar hours? I gave him a ride on the way. Oh, and this is the guy I recommended as a part-time job.”

“I’m doing it with Lulu!!!!!”

“I heard it’s pretty, but this one… Hmm, I think I’ve seen it in a game or something, haven’t I?”

“It did come out.”

“Ah, the boss is also playing Gaoden!!!!!”

“After an Eden student came out, I became interested in that…”

You got into it late. Honestly, if the part-timer was Eden, and he came out later, there was nothing we could do.

Anyway, the boss also agreed about Lulu. He signed a separate contract for a part-time job and decided to start working the day after tomorrow.

The time is afternoon… So from lunch to 6pm. This store isn’t the type of store that stays open until late at night, so it closes relatively early. Oh, of course, I rest on the weekends.

If you think about it, Eden works much longer than when she had a part-time job. Eden came after school and worked part-time, so he could only work for a few hours. Considering sales, I think Lulu, who works every day except weekends, would probably earn more.

“Then please take care of me, boss!!!!”

“Ah, yes. Then I’ll see you the day after tomorrow.”

Lulu greeted him in a relatively friendly manner and shook his hand.

… I hope there won’t be any problems with Lulu’s part-time job, but when I see my intuition working, I feel like it’s not good.
