15 – Reward

“Sorry, but the boy is out of town.”

“Ah, is that so…”

“To visit again tomorrow at lunchtime… Have you been Rail boy.”

When Luna found me and greeted me, the boy turned his head back.

“Rail Bioland? I don’t think the man has come yet?”

But the boy didn’t recognize me even though I was in front of him.

He probably never saw me after losing weight.

I stepped up to the boy and gave him my name.

“I am Rail Bioland.”

“You say Rail Bioland…?”

“Uh.”

The boy seems to be greatly taken aback by my changed body shape and face.

Then he hardened his expression and spoke to me.

“I came after reading the notice you posted. I want to talk. Is it okay for a moment?”

The boy’s tone is quite mature for his young age.

And looking at his tattered clothes, things didn’t look very good at home.

Perhaps because of a difficult family, he seemed to have matured faster than others.

The boy said he wanted to talk to me from inside, but Luna seems to have a different idea.

“I’m sorry, but you came in too late. Rail Master has been training until now, so it would be better to come back around noon tomorrow.”

It tended to be too late for a clear conversation.

But the boy explained that it had to be now.

“If it is not today, there is no time. How can you not?”

“Sorry.”

Unlike her usual appearance, Luna was resolute.

When I first saw her, I thought she was a pretty clumsy maid, but lately I’ve come to think of her as a competent maid who handles tasks quickly and distinguishes between public and private affairs.

“I’m fine. Just let me in.”

“Thank you. Rail Bioland.”

While thanking him, the boy did not use an honorific title for me.

Anyway, this boy seemed to have suffered quite a lot because of me.

Otherwise, he would visit the mansion late in the morning and use honorific titles for me, the eldest son of the family.

Luna bowed at her permission and guided the boy into her mansion.

After lightly washing my body, I changed into the comfortable clothes I would wear at the mansion and moved to the room Luna had prepared.

When I moved to the room, there was a boy sitting on a chair waiting for me, and on the chair opposite her, Fenia, Allin, and Luna were waiting for me.

I immediately put my ass on the chair.

And before it was too late, he opened his mouth.

No. When he tried to open his mouth, the boy spoke first.

“Your appearance has changed a lot while I haven’t seen you.”

“Because I can’t continue to live like that.”

“You must know why I came here.”

I nodded briefly.

Then the boy took one deep breath, looked at me with serious eyes, and opened his mouth.

“My mother, who was hit by a bowl you threw, lost the use of her legs and arms.”

His heart fluttered at the boy’s first words.

“As a result, her mother, who runs the restaurant, had a hard time making food. Every once in a while she knocked her plate off the floor because she couldn’t keep her balance, and more often than not, she was cut by her knife while trimming her ingredients.”

I swallowed dryly at the boy’s words.

But the boy’s words continued without stopping.

“If the food is served late, the food gets cold and loses its taste. Then, naturally, the number of customers decreased, and in the end, we had to put the restaurant outside to find the situation.”

I couldn’t open my mouth.

It wasn’t really what I did, but in the end it all became what I did.

But I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.

After thinking about how to open my mouth for a while, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Is the store currently open?”

“No. My mother said she was running the store until this week.”

‘Until this week.’

There were only three days left.

In such a tense period, an ordinary person would not have thought of a good way.

However, if that person is the eldest son of a marquis, things will be different.

I closed my eyes once again and started thinking of a good idea.

And after enough time had passed, I opened my eyes and looked at the boy and said.

“You don’t have to sell the store.”

“Does that mean you will help our store?”

“Yes.”

The boy’s round eyes make eye contact with me.

The eyes were round and round as when he was the same age, but the determination contained in them was so deep that they could never be compared to his age.

Come to think of it, I didn’t ask for the boy’s name.

“What is your name?”

“It’s called Finn.”

I thought it might be a character related in the novel, but it was a name I had never heard of before.

That didn’t change the fact that I was rewarding Finn.

“Let me visit the store myself in two days.”

“Yes. Thank you for listening to my request at such a late hour.”

After finishing his words, Finn bowed briefly to me and immediately left the mansion.

It was only after the pin came out that I felt the heavy atmosphere loosen up a little.

Whoa.

As if he had been holding his breath the whole time, a deep breath came out of his mouth.

Even though it hadn’t been long since we had a conversation, I could feel the fatigue running through my body.

Leaning back completely in her chair, I asked Luna standing next to me.

“What should be the reward?”

“I think the best reward would be a monetary reward.”

“Isn’t it? Then how about opening a better store than before?”

Luna did not immediately open her mouth to the question.

It seemed like he was taking my question seriously.

“Of course, building a better store will help them. But I don’t think that’s a very good choice.”

“Why?”

“From what Finn said, it seems like you’ve been running the store for quite some time. But if you move the store, I think it’s like throwing away the unique characteristics of that store and the memories you’ve had there.”

The thought was brief.

I thought it would be over if I just built a better store and gave some financial compensation.

At Luna’s advice, I fell into trouble again.

With financial compensation, how to keep their memories as indelible as possible.

While I was thinking of such a good idea, I came up with a good idea.

I immediately explained my thoughts to Luna.

As she heard my thoughts, Luna shut her mouth once again, lost in her thoughts.

And for the first time, Luna nodded her head.

“Certainly that way would be fine.”

“Thank God.”

“But there is one problem.”

“What’s wrong?”

“The food at Finn’s restaurant should suit their palate.”

“Certainly I didn’t think of that variable.”

At Luna’s point, I was troubled for a while.

Then I thought of a good idea and looked at Fenia and Aline standing next to me.

“Is it okay if I skip training for a day tomorrow?”

“Because the situation is the situation. I can’t help it.”

“You can add as much time as you missed.”

I nodded my head when the two said that they could take a day off from training tomorrow.

Of course, the next day you will train twice as much.

“Then make time tomorrow, both of you.”

*

After the conversation with Aline, Finn left the mansion and took out a dagger from his chest.

The item in Finn’s hand was quite dangerous for a young boy to carry around.

My mother gradually began to fail in her body, and the store became poorer and eventually went into debt.

I can no longer pay my mother’s hospital bills.

I couldn’t get her mother’s medicine because I couldn’t pay her hospital bills.

If this situation continued, there would be nothing strange when the mother collapsed.

That’s why, if Finn didn’t have a good conversation with Reil, he was thinking of piercing Reil’s heart with a dagger on the spot.

It was because there was no point in living any longer if the only family member died.

However, Rail’s answer was very different from what he expected.

When I first saw him, I was momentarily taken aback by his change beyond recognition.

But he didn’t think that he would have changed his mind.

Finn just wished he could get some monetary compensation.

However, Rail did not take his words lightly.

I could feel that he was concentrating on my words with serious eyes, and I could see him contemplating how to help himself.

There was no reason to show that kind of side to me, who had nothing to call it pretense.

In addition, he even gave words of consolation to him not to worry because he did not have to sell the store to himself.

Finn also often heard rumors on the market that the damn rails had been changed.

But I couldn’t believe the rumor because I remembered the time when I threw the bowl at my mother, saying the food was not good.

But I wonder if the man really changed in the way Rail showed today. He couldn’t help but think.

In the end, the only thing Finn couldn’t do was pray to heaven so that Rail could really keep his promise.

Finn hurried home for his mother, who was waiting for him until late at night.

Lunch the next day.

As usual, Finn cleared the table to greet his guests.

However, not a single customer came in during lunchtime, when people would flock to it.

Even if the rails paid off, I didn’t think the store would come back to life.

It would be better to take that money and live farming in a quiet country with his mother.

That’s how I thought today was not the day to run a store.

My daughter-

I heard the ringing of a small notification bell on the door.

It was said that a customer had visited the store.

“Welcome!”

Thinking about closing the store, Finn quickly escorted his customers to their seats.

There were as many as three customers who entered, one male and the other two female.

“What kind of food would you like?”

“What is the best selling food here?”

The man turned to Finn and asked for the most popular food.

The man’s flashy attire and neatly trimmed hair didn’t look like he would come to such a shabby restaurant.

The two female guests sitting elegantly next to each other also looked good eating at a luxury hotel.

However, at the question of a customer visiting for the first time today, he quickly gave up his thoughts and opened his mouth.

“Pork soup is the best seller in our store.”

Of course, that also meant that it had sold a lot three years ago.

“Then give me three servings.”

“Yes. Then, rest in peace.”

Moving into the kitchen, Finn informed his mother that he had a guest.

From nob le mt l dot com

Mother smiled at the news that she had a visitor after a long time and started preparing her food.

So slowly, but with great care, the rice soup was made, and Pin moved the cooked rice soup onto the table.

“Enjoy your meal.”

“Thank you.”

After serving the guests, Finn went straight to the kitchen.

And he peeked out of the kitchen to secretly watch the customers enjoy their food.

A male customer lifted a spoon and put soup into his mouth.

Hot steam rose in my mouth.

It must have been quite hot, but the male customer ate the soup as if he was used to it.

“Kuhh! It tastes like this It’s been a while since I drank soju.”

And he spits out an exclamation that only local men would do.

“It tastes much better than I expected.”

The white-haired woman sitting across from him expressed her impression that it was delicious,

Slurp-! Sluruk-!

The woman sitting right next to the man started eating hot soup in a hurry, as if she had been caught in a rumor.

A woman who had finished a bowl of rice soup before I knew it looked at me for a moment.

Flinch.

As soon as their eyes met, Finn’s body froze.

He only exposed his face slightly, but he was caught at once.

But she didn’t seem to care much about the fact that she was a woman she was staring at herself.

Rather, he opened his mouth with a face that said it was good that his eyes met.

“Give me another bowl of soup.”

“Yes!”

Finn immediately told his mother, who was next to him, that the customer had ordered an extra bowl of soup.

“I’m glad you got food in your mouth.”

With a brighter face than before, her mother made soup quickly, and this time her mother served the food to the table herself.

“Please let me know if you need anything else.”

“The food is really good.”

“I’m glad you got hit in the mouth.”

It was at that time that the mother who served her food with a smile was moving to her kitchen with a limp.

“Hey.”

A gray-haired woman stopped her mother who was moving into her kitchen.

The mother immediately smiled and turned her head toward her guest.

“Yes. Do you need anything?”

“No. Your legs look more uncomfortable than that, are you okay?”

“hahahaha. Yes. I fell down the stairs once and hurt myself slightly.”

The mother explained that her leg was injured by her railing, which she had caused by her own mistake.

“I know how to do some healing magic. Can I take a look at your wounds for a moment?”

“It was quite a while ago that I injured my leg…”

“But in case you don’t know.”

The woman got up from her seat and went directly to her mother.

Then her mother looked at the injured leg.

“Not just the legs. I think she hurt her arm a little too.”

“How did you get there…?”

Reputed doctors also said it was impossible for the mother’s legs and arms to fully heal.

He said that he would have to take medicine for the rest of his life.

However, the sight of the woman realizing at once that her mother’s wounds extended to her arms gave Finn a vain thought that she might indeed be able to cure her mother’s illness.

Her woman pointed her staff, which was in her own right hand, at her mother.

And she immediately starts casting her magic.

Then she begins to see her green magic emanating from her wand.

Even Finn, ignorant of her magic, could sense that her level of magic was out of the ordinary.

Her dark magical energy began to permeate her mother’s legs and arms.

The scars that seemed to last forever began to disappear little by little, and white new flesh began to appear like the skin of a child.

Fin and his mother, who were watching, couldn’t keep their mouths shut in amazement.

And as if the magic had ended, the woman rose from her seat.

“Would you like to take a light walk?”

“Yes…….”

The mother swallowed her saliva nervously.

Then, as usual, she took a casual walk through the restaurant.

“Mother. All, legs…… !”

However, her mother’s leg, which had a limp in her leg, walked naturally like a normal person’s leg.

From nob le mt l dot com

My mother’s leg, which had not been repaired for three years, was healed overnight.

In an instant, her heart jumped. She

She And she Unknowingly, tears flowed from her eyes.

The compensation Rail said was no longer needed.

She couldn’t help but be satisfied that her mother had returned to her original state.

Then the man stood up to see if she had finished eating.

“What is the price?”

“You even treated my mother’s wounds, how can we get paid for the food!”

“It’s okay because we have a lot of money. It’s because the food is delicious.”

“It’s really good…”

Pin reluctantly informs me that the price for 4 servings of rice soup is 4 fairy leaves.

Then the man who put the coin on the table left the store.

“Then I ate well.”

“Yes! Thank you! I will never forget this grace!”

“Thank you! Please visit again next time!”

Finn and his mother bowed their heads sincerely to the group as they left the store.

And for the next customer, Finn immediately cleared the table where the previous customer had sat.

As I was clearing the table like that, I noticed a small sack the man had left behind for food.

“Huh?”

When the sack was untied, it contained an amount of gold coins that could not be earned even after several years of business.

In the sack was also a small note, on which was written the word tip in short letters.

However, at the amount too burdensome to be considered a tip, Finn hurriedly grabbed his sack and left the store.

“·······.”

Finn urgently started looking for the group who had visited the store a while ago.

But no matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t see the customer who had just visited the store.

‘Suddenly, what’s going on…….’

It was like waking up from a good dream.

But it wasn’t a dream.

Her mother’s limp leg and her trembling arm were completely healed.

Her mother’s overdue hospital bills and medicine bills, as well as her store’s monthly rent, were also able to be paid off.

Finn thought that until he died, nothing would surprise him more than today.

But Finn’s thoughts were shattered the next day when he saw a large number of customers gathered in front of the store.

“This, what the hell is this…!”
