[(Side story) Letter sent from a restaurant]
Uncle. How are you?
I called my uncle after a long time and she said that my uncle had gone on a business trip to the Byron continent.
I heard that the inter-dimensional communication network hasn’t been connected yet, so I’m sending this letter along with the parcel to send my uncle a gift and tell him my news.
However, I write this whenever I have free time while working, so please understand even if the content is interrupted in the middle.
I’m really sorry for not being able to contact you often these days.
A lot of crazy things have happened recently.
The most important and surprising news is that I recently moved to a new job.
“Look at this guy? Are you writing a love letter now?”
“oh! Geb! “Give me my letter back!”
…The stationery is a little wrinkled, but don’t worry.
A dwarf friend I made recently called Geb is a bit mischievous.
Ah Geb is one of the regular customers who often comes to our restaurant.
uncle. I got a job at that restaurant!
It’s not far from my previous job, and the work is comfortable and the salary is much higher than before.
In particular, the boss is a really nice person
. “It’s not good at all.” “What’s good about a business owner who opens a store only when he wants to do business and beats up customers when he doesn’t like them?”
“Gev! “Stop peeping!”
“hey. “Is that boss listening?”
“I told you to listen, you bastard!”
…Since the restaurant is a service industry, there are many customers and many difficulties, but our boss knows how to deal with problems wisely, as he is a beginner who has experienced all kinds of hardships.
-Boo!
“If you don’t want to eat it, get out!”
Anyway, our boss is a really nice person.
Actually, there was a time recently when I met a monster and almost got into big trouble.
At that time, the boss contacted me… omitted… and that’s how I ended up getting a job here.
Our boss is
“Mr. Shinhan. Don’t work too hard. Even if it were, no one would know.”
You have a very gentle personality and a great sense of humor. Besides, you have the same name as my idol, the landlord?
Even if you think about it, it’s a really great coincidence, right?
“uh? “Are you writing a letter to Uncle Soa?”
Also, there is a cute girl named Lily in our restaurant.
He is the mascot of Lim’s Restaurant, and he is so friendly and cute that even the most picky customers like him.
Lily sometimes helps the boss cook.
-Roaring!
“Hey Kid! “I told you not to burn your food and eat it!”
“you idiot! This must be burned! “If you eat it, you’ll really die!”
…Sometimes I think he is very wise beyond his age.
Customers even say that thanks to Lily, the number of police visits to the store has been cut in half.
“Mr. Shinhan. We’ll be gone for a few hours, so why don’t you go and check out the store by yourself? If the truth comes to you that you can’t handle, call the number listed here as [Hogu]. Then everything will be resolved.”
“yes. Where are you going?”
Sometimes the boss leaves me in charge of the store and goes out with Lily.
“Oh, it’s nothing special. “I thought a kingdom was going to fall, so I came to help.”
“haha. All right. “I will take good care of the store, so please be careful.”
“It will come soon. “It happens often.”
You really have a great sense of humor.
I’ve only been working here for less than a month, but both the boss and Lily have a lot of faith in me.
But… I have one concern.
Because the owner is so generous, many customers come.
But even if you just calculate the cost of materials, rent, and my labor costs, the deficit is at a serious level.
Moreover, our boss is a bit… very poor at calculating money. So I’m worried. To be honest, my salary is too high, but if the deficit gets worse and the restaurant closes…
“You don’t have to worry. “My uncle has a lot of money.”
“…Are you really okay? “I heard deficits are no joke.”
“huh. Why are you worried about money? “Everything you can see from here is your land?”
uncle. I’ll stop worrying about it.
I can’t believe I’m worried about retired superhumans. I wonder what happened to my head for a moment.
“And there is a lot more land in other dimensions than there is on Earth!”
“…….”
Sometimes I think the world is too unfair.
Oh, the customers are starting to flock now, so I’ll write more later!
***
Phew. After a war-like evening, I am now taking a short break.
Our restaurant is still relaxed during lunch, but there are quite a lot of customers during rush hours.
Oh, I didn’t mention the name of the restaurant, right?
This is [Im Sikdang: Fusion Dimensional Cuisine Restaurant].
I will formally invite you later, so if you come to Seoul, please be sure to come with my uncle and nephews.
My job is to take orders, serve food, help Lily with her studies, wash dishes, and clean…
“Wooweee!”
“Are you sure this is a creation created by humans?”
“The poison made at Sacheondangmun was more edible than this….”
“That guy is a warlock. “He must be a warlock.”
“This is good medicine for the body. This is good medicine for the body. This is good medicine for the body. This is good medicine for the body, but I think it would be better to choose death. Let’s kill each other from now on.”
…I think the most important job is to listen to the complaints of customers who are exhausted from a hard day’s work.
Sometimes even the boss.
“If you don’t want to eat it, get out! “There are a lot of customers even without you guys?”
“Boss Sa! “Put down that frying pan and talk!”
…uncle.
I guess you have to have great mentality and confidence to become a superhuman. I feel this every time I see my boss these days.
“Oh, it’s annoying to cook. Hey guests. “I’m going to close my business here today, so would you please leave my store?”
“Damn you. “You’re not going to pay for the food, are you?”
“Sometimes you talk like you paid for everything.”
There are many regulars here who are really fun and cheerful.
“Owner. “Can I have some leftover food?”
“Heh. “You were saying something about the taste earlier… Your mouth says you don’t like it, but your body is honest.”
“…what?”
uncle. Wait.
“Let go! “I will kill that thing today and go to hell!”
“customer! Be patient! Everyone, don’t just watch, please help!”
…Maybe because I work with good people every day, I feel like my body and mind are getting healthier every day.
These days, my old injured leg no longer hurts.
I recently went to the hospital and got tested, and they said it was a miracle. I am now at a level where I can do normal exercise.
So, I’m back….
“Shinhan. I had a hard time today too. “You can leave work now.”
“Ah yes. “I’ll just take stock of today’s sales and then leave work.”
“It’s obvious you won’t get hit anyway, so why would you do something like that?”
“ha ha ha.”
“But who are you sending the letter you were writing earlier?”
“Oh, my uncle. My parents passed away during First Gate, and they took care of me and raised me for several years. He is like a father to me…”
“You didn’t curse me in the letter, did you?”
“Oh no way. “I only wrote good words.”
“Well, maybe I’m a good boss.”
“……”
“…What are those subtle eyes and silence? “Anyway, have you finished filling out the academy application?”
“Ah yes! “I wrote it all.”
“I’m glad. I was already a little nervous about sending the little boy to the exam center alone. “Take me with you when you go.”
“of course. “Hey, boss…”
“Why?”
“thank you! The fact that you fixed my leg is a favor I will never be able to repay, and you even wrote me a letter of recommendation… I will never disappoint you! Even if I end up attending the academy, I will never neglect my restaurant work!”
“…Okay, let’s get off work quickly. “Let me get some rest now.”
“yes! “Then I’ll just finish wiping down the table here.”
“…Just go! Please go! “I, the boss, told you to go!”
“I’m sorry. “Then I’ll just get off work!”
“…Anyway, you’re being needlessly sincere.”
***
Uncle.
Right now, I’m stopping at a cafe after work to write a letter. After I finish writing the letter, I plan to go to a nearby gym and work out.
…uncle. You know.
I’m going to dream again.
Did you know that WH Group is establishing a superhuman training institute this time? They say they are recruiting applicants regardless of race or age.
I applied there.
I don’t know if I’ll succeed or not yet, but I’m going to do my best to prepare.
I told the boss about it, and he even wrote me a letter of recommendation, which I was really thankful for.
Of course, I don’t know how helpful it will be since it is a recommendation from someone who has already retired… but I am very grateful that you took care of me.
Moreover, he said that if I attend the academy in the future, he will adjust my working hours.
I know what your uncle is thinking right now.
My trauma from monsters… Of course, it won’t be easy to fix.
But I want to do my best and at least try my best before it’s too late and I regret it.
I don’t mind failing the test on the path my idol, Landlord, walked, so if I can at least follow his shadow, I’ll be very happy!
So, instead of worrying, please encourage me to cheer up.
I’m an ugly nephew who always makes you worry, but this time I’ll show you my dependable side.
My nieces and nephews must have grown up a lot, so I miss them. I will definitely come down this Lunar New Year.
Then uncle. Stay healthy until we see you again.
-To the uncle I respect most in the world.
-My nephew Shinhan.
[PS]
We included a special nutritional meal made at our restaurant in the package.
Because it has a preservation magic, you can eat it without worry.
You should never throw it away! It’s really good for your body, so you should stick with it!

“Shinhan….”
After reading the letter sent by his nephew, So Si-min was so moved that he looked at it in silence for a long time.
‘older brother. ‘That small and timid child suddenly grew up to be so kind and upright.’
Although there were many strange things about what was written in the letter – especially the boss seemed very suspicious – there was only one thing he could say to his nephew after reading the letter.
“Ahm. I’m rooting for you. “Don’t just support my nephew!”
Even after becoming independent and leaving home, I always cared about my nephew.
After his brother’s family passed away, he said he took care of them for several years, but how could he have filled the empty space in his family with that?
It must have been very difficult and lonely.
Still, I was just grateful that he had grown into such a wonderful young man.
“Thank you. thank you so much. But Shinhan. That’s it…”
So Simin’s expression turned grim as he lowered his gaze.
Gooooo….
From the moment I unpacked it and opened the lid of the bowl, a black aura was emitting a ‘something’ that was difficult to describe in words.
‘Is this… a seed left behind by the Demon King?’
…This is nutritional food sent to me by my nephew.
I tested it to see if it had spoiled during delivery, but to my surprise, the answer was ‘very fresh.’
This means that you cannot throw it away under the excuse that it is spoiled.
“I’m telling you to eat this…”
At that moment, for the first time, So Si-min had no choice but to doubt his beloved nephew’s intentions.
‘Is he after my inheritance?’
