153 – Jam-Min, a young boy from the Middle Ages
The capital of the empire was vast and majestic.
More than I thought.
Amidst the crowds of people rushing to work, I am keenly aware of that fact.
Why are you suddenly bringing this up?
I didn’t want to know either.
-Kyum.
Kyumdol wonders what this is so out of shape.
“I know. Kwydol. But is this due to force majeure?”
I’m sure he was confident until he left the mansion.
This time, too, I had no choice but to get lost.
‘I should have been to a flower shop….’
Do you pay money to buy flowers in the game?
It was impossible.
If necessary, they would go out and gather, but who would even pay for a living? If I had the money, I would have bought one more item.
-Kyum.
Then Kyadol asked if it would be okay to go out and gather.
“Kywadol. Didn’t you hear that the grass is dangerous, so be careful? What if a wild monster appears after entering it?”
Of course, there was little chance of that, but it’s time for the demons to be active, so don’t let your guard down.
– Kyaew!
A kid who inflates his body by saying, “What are you worried about when you have him next to you?”
Courage was imaginary, but to be honest, it just seemed cute, so I shook my head.
Even if you weren’t the full type, I would have considered that as well.
As I had memories of choosing a grass type in a game in the past and getting beaten up badly, I had no intention of doing anything with the cute Kyadol.
‘Honestly, the color and writing skills are a bit… That’s right.’
-Kyuwoo!
The hot-tempered Kyudol got angry and said not to compare himself to such things.
“Don’t be so angry. There are other reasons.”
Above all, I have plenty of money in my wallet now.
I’ll save money on flowers.
After wandering around for a while, I was able to find a shop selling flowers.
-Kik.
When I opened the door and entered the store, I felt the warm air with the smell of grass.
I could see the scenery where the light was pouring from the magic tool that was like a light fixture hanging from the ceiling and illuminating the flowerpots below.
Is this how they are grown and sold?
At that time, I thought it was a similar method reminiscent of a vinyl house.
“Welcome~”
In the corner, a mysterious woman whose age I couldn’t easily guess greeted me with a bright smile.
“I’d like to buy some flowers.”
“Is there any other reason why you came to our store. So, who are you going to give it to?”
“Yes?”
I was taken aback by the sudden investigation of the housekeeper, and when I made a stupid noise, the landlady laughed and said.
“Oh bachelor. Are you buying flowers for the first time? It’s only natural that depending on the recipient, what kind of flowers to gift will change.”

Is it like that? You should know that I have never bought flowers.
I thought they would give it to you if you asked for it.
I’m embarrassed or not. The hostess continued her investigation.
“You want a girl?”
“Um… yes.”
Because even a warrior is a woman.
“Looking at it now, it looks like he wasn’t a bachelor. Ho ho ho. What’s your relationship with him?
“That’s why…”
“Be it a lover, a family member, or a boss at work, you should examine everything carefully. Every flower has a different meaning.”
For me, who came to buy flowers with a light heart, it is a very complicated purchase method.
‘A flower shop, originally, I was asking so many questions… ?’
When Yeong-seok went shopping for her girlfriend’s cosmetics, she said she heard all sorts of things. Is it similar to that here?
I don’t know anything else, but I know you want to buy it and leave.
While thinking about the relationship between me and the hero.
“Hmm.”
The landlady, who had been watching that day, let out her drool and narrowed her eyes.
“Looks like what did you do wrong to the flower giver?”
“…How did you know?”
Was this a fortune teller, not a flower shop?
“It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been doing business here. Just by looking at the faces of the customers, I know what happened.”
“Ten years? Doesn’t sound like much.”
“Oh my God, you speak nicely to our guests.”
She seemed to feel better at those words, and the landlady covered her mouth and laughed loudly before moving to a flower pot with purple flowers.
“So, how wrong have you been?”
“Um…. It’s good enough that you didn’t kill me and kept me alive.”
Then the landlady, who was lifting the flowerpot, hesitated.
“Yeah, yeah? Then you’ll be fine with this.”
Putting her flower pot back down, the landlady opened her mouth as she headed somewhere.
“Wait a minute here.”
She left me with those words and went inside the store.
“Now, this will surely be forgiven.”
In the pot she held in her hand, three flowers boasting orange petals were in full bloom.
“How is this different from that?”
She asked, pointing to the purple flower she had just picked up.
“That flower is recommended for reconciliation with the opposite s*x after a light quarrel, and this is the flower recommended for married men to be forgiven.”
“….”
She was speechless at the mistress’ explanation.
“Huh? They said that not killing them would be enough?”
No, I certainly said that, but I think it went a little too far….
Still, the color of the flower goes well with her hair color, so she decided to just buy it.
“Give me all of that.”
“My dear, he is a rare lover.”
I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible because he kept saying strange things.
The way to turn around after paying that price.
In my hand was an orange bouquet of trimmed flowers.
“If it goes well, come back later and buy it! Stop rotting inside people!”
I heard the proprietress cheering from behind.
Is that cheering right?
– Jerking around.
As I walked down the street carrying a bouquet that was barely covered, eyes poured on me from here and there.
-Look at that person. I was about to confess.
-It looks a bit peculiar, but I don’t know if it will work well.
-Still, it’s not to the extent that you can’t see it at all.
As expected, it seems inevitable that a man will stand out like this.
Sure.
I was embarrassed for no reason, so I pressed down the fedora that I had been wearing a little deeper.
Shouldn’t we just go home and go to a separate room and talk about it when the hero comes back?
Make a wish, solve the uncomfortable relationship.
It literally kills two birds with one stone.
I was on my way home with such light steps.
– Tak Tak Tak!
I turned around when I saw a little boy running towards me from the other side.
– Puck!
The little boy also changed direction and crashed into me.
Since a person like me who is full of pressure muscles and such a worthless kid collided, the result is obvious.
“Ouch…”
Feeling the difference in power, the little boy is lying on the side of the road, complaining of her pain.
-Look at the child who fell down and didn’t even pick him up.
-A person who eats as much as he should be old is really heartless.
I checked my pockets first whether people around me were cursing at me or not.
There is only one thing to be suspicious of such a blatant act.
But my pockets were perfectly fine.
‘I’m not a pickpocket… ?’
A little boy who seems to have bumped into him but can’t get up from his seat.
Feeling that the eyes around me were stinging, I sat down and started talking.
“Are you okay? Can you stand up?”
“My knees…”
Are your knees scarred?
The boy is going crazy with it.
When I turned my gaze to look at my knee, I saw a clean knee with no scars.
‘What? There’s nothing wrong….’
It was at that time that I felt strange.
-Hoo-wook!
My knee suddenly straightened and a kick came flying at me.
I put my right hand on the ground and quickly dodged it. Meanwhile, the kid ran away.
I muttered as I stared blankly at it.
“I’ll see all the crazy ones…”
Are you going to blackmail me in a world without insurance?
Anyway, he was a newbie growing up who tried pickpocketing and failed.
I was a late person in that way, so I decided to turn a blind eye to that cute figure just this once. Because I had a time like that too.
Around the time when I was in the thieves, the time when I was drunk and proud of my own skills.
A senior who saw me once told me that she would get a big nose injury someday, and she told me not to snag her stuff and brush it off.
So there was a time when she was almost beaten to death by an angry senior after robbing her without leaving a single pair of underwear for several days.
Coming to think of it, I never had such a time.
The time when I, who unintentionally deceived you, shrugged my shoulders and went back with a bouquet.
“Huh…?”
Stuttering.
My hand ran across the cold stone floor, but I didn’t feel anything to be touched.
When I turned my head, the bouquet, which I had put down for a while, was gone.
“….”
You can’t be careless as a child.
As expected, do the Chokbeop boys, Jammin, exist wherever they go?
“Haa…”
My headache hurt, so I sighed and got up from my seat.
I didn’t expect you to carry flowers and bounce.
But I picked the wrong opponent.
To put your hands on my stuff and not someone else’s.
I warmed up by lightly turning my wrists and ankles. Seeing that, Kyadol bit my collar with a cute mouth. He seemed to know what was about to happen.
As a matter of fact, I am the kind of person who would reprimand my daughter if my son did something wrong, and would slander my son.
‘I will make you resent being born as a man.’
It was the intention to educate children on behalf of their parents.
Even if it’s someone else’s child.
– Grasp!
I kick off the ground and follow the direction Jammin disappeared, and soon I see the back of the guy who disappeared from sight.
Because I turned around just in time, I met eyes with the kid who succeeded in embarrassing me for a moment.
He staggered as if he was surprised to see me.
It seems that he is exerting all his might belatedly, but the distance between him and me is gradually narrowing.
-Wack.
As if he thought he would get caught at this rate, he turned and went into an alleyway.
Isn’t that a good place for kids to go?
The alleys of the empire boast a level of security that can be considered a slum.
What would happen if a child went into such a place?
‘If this is complicated, things will get complicated….’
Some of the people who live there are crazy bastards who will f*ck you whenever they see a hole, so there was a high possibility that something terrible would happen.
I followed the guy who dared to take an adventure rather than being caught quietly.
“Where did a kid like you get the money to buy this?”
“That, that’s…”
Unsurprisingly, the bold little boy who stole the bouquet was surrounded by her bullies in the blink of an eye.
