Chapter 142

Riding on Min Neong, we crossed the sky and arrived in Busan.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Damn, that was fast. Seems even faster than last time.

【Handsome Licker】—Wasn’t it about the same speed last time? *Lick*.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Shut the hell up, you bastard.

“…Wait, why are we even going all the way to Busan?”

I had said there was no specific destination, but I thought we’d just go to a nearby area without much snow.

Like, you know, Chungcheong Province.

Or the upper regions of Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Or somewhere relatively close to Gyeonggi Province.

I never imagined we’d go all the way to Busan, at the tip of the peninsula.

“Min Neong, you really don’t know the meaning of ‘moderation,’ huh…”

［Hehehe. Thank you~］

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—What’s there to like? It’s not a compliment, damn it.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—I thought Min Neong was pretty smart, but the more I see, the more I think they’re on my level.

【Min Ji】—They’ve got a bit of a goofy side, huh.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Mania, they’re definitely not on your level.

We decided not to make a big deal about coming all the way to Busan.

Even though it’s far, the travel time was short anyway.

Honestly, if the travel time is short, the distance doesn’t matter.

Even if it’s a foreign country.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—I feel like smashing Min Neong’s pot.

【Handsome Licker】—You’d probably be the one getting smashed. *Lick*.

“Anyway, since we’re in Busan, let’s buy some seafood or something.”

［Oh~ I like fresh fish~］

【Qkrnfl892】—What? I thought you’d scold Min Neong, but you’re just letting it slide? LOL.

【Yoho】—There’s no reason to scold them. They didn’t do anything wrong.

【Jujijoa】—Yeah, what’s the big deal about Busan? It didn’t even take that long to get here.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—LOL, it’s not about the distance, it’s about the travel time. Whether it’s the next town over or Busan, if the travel time is the same, it’s all the same.

First, we decided to look for a nearby fish market.

Min Neong shrank back down and reduced the range of the spell so that the perception reduction only applied to themselves.

Then, they climbed back onto my head.

［I smell fish over there!］

【Reverse Rape Mania】—Min Neong’s sense of smell is pretty good, huh.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—What the hell, you dog.

【Yoho】—Gyeongsaeng, please keep the chat clean.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—What the hell, you dog~

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—LOL, what changes by adding a wave?

【Handsome Licker】—It looks a bit softer. *Lick*.

After walking a bit in the direction Min Neong pointed, the entrance to the fish market came into view.

Thanks to that, I didn’t have to bother opening a map app.

I headed straight for the market entrance.

【Min Ji】—Se-hoon, shouldn’t you be wearing sunglasses and a mask? People might recognize you and swarm you.

“It’s fine. Not many people will recognize me anyway.”

Min Ji’s chat wasn’t exaggerating.

Even though I’m just an internet broadcaster, my face and name are pretty well-known among younger people.

A lot of people recognized me at the airport too.

But here, it was fine.

Maybe because the age group of the passersby and market vendors was older.

A lot of people glanced at me, but almost no one recognized me or approached me.

Of course, a few people recognized me and were whispering.

They seemed to be older folks who are interested in internet broadcasters.

But I didn’t need to pay attention to them.

They were just secretly filming me.

No one approached me directly.

No one was hitting on me either.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Damn, they’re really filming without permission. Do they want to get beaten up?

【Min Ji】—Exactly! Secret filming is a crime, you know!

【Qkrnfl892】—People always take pictures of celebrities without asking.

【Cat-eared Woman】—Is Se-hoon oppa a celebrity?

【Maehwa Tree】—Se-hoon is definitely a celebrity.

【Drifting AI】—I declare, the life of a celebrity is exhausting.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Just leave it. I get filmed randomly when I walk around the city too.

【Handsome Licker】—Se-hoon isn’t a celebrity like you. *Lick*.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—Right. Se-hoon is just a regular person.

【Cat-eared Woman】—Isn’t Defense Team also a regular person?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—What kind of regular person is a magician? Are you stupid?

【Yoho】—At Defense Team’s level, they’re more of a celebrity than a regular person.

【Big Girl】—But honestly, even if they’re a celebrity, they should ask for permission before taking pictures.

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Wow! Keep those thoughts to yourself!

【Big Girl】—Okay.

I didn’t care if they were filming or not.

It wasn’t particularly unpleasant.

So I just ignored it and focused on what I needed to do.

While shopping, there was a bit of a commotion.

It wasn’t a big deal.

A vendor tried to lure me in and subtly touched my buttocks. In other words, it was a sexual harassment incident.

Honestly, it was pretty unpleasant.

I don’t have a preference for being touched by grandmothers.

But I couldn’t just assault them, so I was about to unleash a torrent of curses to mentally destroy them when other vendors witnessed the scene and rushed in, beating the vendor as if they wanted to kill them.

Someone must have called the police because they showed up, and it was chaos.

In the end, the vendor was taken to the police station on sexual harassment charges.

It was a small incident.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Serves you right, bastard.

【Jujijoa】—I really want to kill them.

【Yoho】—What kind of behavior is that at their age? Ugh.

【Drifting AI】—I declare, that human should be socially eradicated.

【Qkrnfl892】—At least the other vendors were sane. That’s a relief.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—I’ve never seen such unity in beating up a sexual harasser.

【Maehwa Tree】—Hmm. The vendors who beat them up got taken away too.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Shouldn’t Se-hoon go too? Usually, the victim has to go as well, right?

【Qkrnfl892】—No need. I already contacted them in advance so they wouldn’t take Se-hoon, since he’d find it annoying.

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Wow! Who did you contact?

【Qkrnfl892】—Relatives.

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Wow! You have relatives in the Busan police? You’re a networking king!

【Qkrnfl892】—Anyway, Se-hoon can just go back to shopping comfortably. I’ll handle the sexual harasser.

It was a hassle to go to the police station and give a statement, so I was glad to avoid it.

Having good connections really pays off.

After that, I thanked Palkgui and continued shopping, buying a lot of seafood from other vendors.

The vendors felt bad about the incident and gave me big discounts.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—What? 20 for 1,000 won? Has the price dropped that much? That’s ridiculously cheap.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—It’s not that prices dropped, they’re giving discounts because they feel bad for Gyesekkihoon, you idiot.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—Guburi, let’s not curse. Ugh.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—What, you dumbass.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—(ʘ言ʘ╬)

【Qkrnfl892】—But it’s really cheap. LOL.

【Min Ji】—It’s practically free…

【Meng Yao】—If they’re selling at that price, why not just give it for free? Why bother taking money?

【Big Girl】—Maybe they’re worried you’d refuse if they offered it for free?

I stored all the seafood in boxes and put them in Min Neong’s mouth.

Additionally, I also put all the items I bought at the mart into Min Neong’s mouth.

Of course, it wasn’t food for them.

They said there’s a separate space inside their mouth for storing items, so I asked them to hold onto it.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Damn, you bought a lot.

【Qkrnfl892】—Seriously, how much did you spend? The seafood was cheap, but you bought a ton at the mart.

【Handsome Licker】—Se-hoon is rich. *Lick*.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—I’m jealous. My family is broke. T_T

And just like that, the three-hour shopping trip ended without any issues.

Min Neong returned to their original form, and as I was riding on them, an important fact suddenly came to mind.

‘…Come to think of it, we don’t have a proper cook at home, do we?’

The maid can cook, but it’s not at a level suitable for guests.

Of course, I can cook to some extent too.

But today, I just didn’t feel like it.

‘Should I invite someone who’s good at cooking?’

While I was thinking that, Guburi, a former chef, happened to catch my eye in the chat.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Sexy~

【Cat-eared Woman】—Sexy~

【Maehwa Tree】—Shut up, you crazy women.

“Guburi.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—◕`ᴗᴗ´◕?

【Reverse Rape Mania】—The special characters are cute.

“Put away the stupid emoticons… Anyway, what are you doing right now?”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Watching your stream, what else would I be doing, you bastard. LOL.

“Oh? So you’re just free because you’re unemployed, huh.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Is that something you say to a viewer? Why are you picking a fight all of a sudden? Just get to the point. Ugh.

“No, it’s just… If you don’t have anything to do today, could you come over and cook for us? You said you’re good at cooking, right?”

【Min Ji】—Wow. Guburi’s on board.

【Qkrnfl892】—Damn, I’m jealous. I should’ve learned to cook too.

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Wow! But why isn’t anyone jealous?

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Guburi’s such a loser, no one cares. LOL.

【Yoho】—Room Master, instead of taking them, why not take me? I can cook a little too.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—What? This guy’s jealous of Guburi too. LOL.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Cook for you? No way. Can’t do it. ㅗㅗ

【Yoho】—?

“Please. You don’t have any plans anyway.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—No.

“I’ll pay you well, so just come once.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—I said no. LOL.

【Meng Yao】—Why is this guy acting up? Is he a bouncy ball?

【Big Girl】—Just accept when Se-hoon asks nicely. Unless you want to get cursed at.

“…Fine. Then I’ll come pick you up.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—?? I said no, you bastard. Who are you talking to?

【Reverse Rape Mania】—This is the three-second consideration.

【Handsome Licker】—It’s not three-second consideration, it’s three pleadings. *Lick*.

【Qkrnfl892】—Three pleadings, my ass. LOL. This is just kidnapping. Damn.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Mania, you’ve picked up some weird stuff. LOL.

“Anyway, thanks for agreeing, Guburi.”

【Min Ji】—Seems like the earnest request worked.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—?? It didn’t work, you crazy woman.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—There’s no Guburi who doesn’t cave under pressure.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—And I didn’t agree, damn it. I’m not going. ㅆㅃ!!! If you come find me, I’ll smother you with kisses.

【Handsome Licker】—*Smooch*.

【Qkrnfl892】—LOL, acting like you don’t like it when you clearly do.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—Strong denial is strong affirmation!

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Shut up, you bitch.

I decided to ask Drifting for Guburi’s address.

It didn’t seem like Guburi would give it to me willingly.

“Drifting, can you send me Guburi’s address right now?”

【Drifting AI】—I declare, I shall provide it.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—The more I think about it, the more ridiculous this is. If you’re going to ignore my opinion, why even ask? Do you want to die?

【Handsome Licker】—It wasn’t a question, it was a notice. *Lick*.

【Big Girl】—What does Guburi’s opinion matter? Se-hoon’s opinion is what matters.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Gyesekkihoon, I’m not going unless it’s 1 million won per day.

“Okay. I’ll give you 1 million.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—? 2 million.

“Fine, 2 million.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—3 million.

“Stop raising it, you crazy woman.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—ㅅㄱ Not going~

“Sigh… Fine. I’ll give you whatever you want. Since you don’t want to go, I’ll just kidnap… I mean, forcefully bring you.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—?? You’ll give me whatever I want? Are you insane?

【Handsome Licker】—LOL, he’s really panicking now. *Lick*.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Ugh. I need to shower and get dressed. Damn it.

The negotiation was over.

Even Guburi couldn’t resist money.

【Yoho】—Gyeongsaeng, I’ll give you 10 million won, so don’t go.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Get lost, you idiot. LOL.

“…Min Neong, let’s go to Guburi’s place.”

Thud. Thud.

［Okay! Let’s go!］

And so, before heading home, we decided to stop by the address Drifting provided and pick up Guburi.
