Bora opened the door and entered Hana’s room. Hana was lying on the bed, playing with her mobile phone.
“Hana!”
“What’s up, Bora?”
Hana’s carefree demeanor made Bora momentarily feel like nothing had happened. But the contents of the check card bill hadn’t changed.
“What… what’s going on?”
Bora showed Hana the bill. But Hana just tilted her head in confusion.
“What is this, Bora?”
Bora suddenly realized her mistake. Hana still didn’t understand the concept of money. This wasn’t Hana’s fault; it was Bora’s own mistake. Realizing this, Bora understood that talking to Hana about the bill would have no effect.
“Never mind… can I see your phone for a second?”
Bora took Hana’s phone. Hana was watching some game video. It seemed like she was influenced by the mobile phone… Bora wanted to snatch it away.
But seeing that all the other kids had mobile phones, if Hana didn’t have one, she might get left out.
Proper education was important here. Bora couldn’t even imagine how much money was in the account if 200 million had been spent. The fact that there was still money left in the check card after spending that much surprised Bora.
Bora opened the banking app on Hana’s phone. The amount written there made her eyes widen in shock.
“Ten… ten billion…?”
The account had an amount that would surprise not just ordinary people, but even the wealthy.
The contract stated that royalties were received as a percentage of business profits. So, Bora didn’t know the exact amount, but seeing it directly now, it was clear how enormous it was. All of it was money Hana had earned herself.
Perhaps Hana was the youngest self-made millionaire in South Korea? No one at Hana’s age could have earned ten billion. Unless they inherited it from their parents. And Hana was still a child who couldn’t even write properly yet…
The money had come in less than a month, and it would only increase from here, never decrease.
Bora hadn’t expected this much money, so she was deep in thought about what to do.
—
Bora looked at my phone and her face stiffened. Then she left the room.
I read the bill Bora left on the bed again. There were a lot of zeros in the amount.
“Huh…?”
It felt like cold water had been poured over me, snapping me out of my daze.
200 million…?
When I worked part-time, I couldn’t even earn 30 million in a year… I didn’t realize it when I was spending the cash, but now that it’s become real, I realized I had made a huge mistake.
It was like I was possessed by a ghost and spent all that money on games. This little body sometimes escaped my control. I was dominated by the hormones flowing through my child’s body. No matter how strong my willpower was, I couldn’t overcome the hormones in a child’s body.
I could clearly see what would happen next. Bora would come into the room with an angry face, and my poor butt would suffer under her hand…
I ran around the room. I needed to escape before Bora came back, but I couldn’t leave. It was my fault.
How long did I stay in the room, feeling like a prisoner awaiting judgment? The closed door opened, and Bora came in.
I couldn’t look Bora in the eye. I felt like I had committed a great sin. And it was true.
But staying still wouldn’t help. I approached Bora and hugged her legs.
“Bora…”
“Hana?”
Bora didn’t do anything even though I was hugging her legs. I thought she would drag me to the bed and spank me. Instead, she patted my head.
“Bora, I’m sorry. I think I spent too much money.”
I looked up at Bora as I spoke. Apologizing first was essential. I really didn’t want a spanking. It wasn’t just the pain; every time I got spanked, it felt like something inside me was being chipped away.
“No… Hana…”
Bora was about to say something. Seeing that, I buried my head deeper into her embrace. Maybe because of the height difference, my face ended up against her stomach.
Feeling the softness of Bora’s stomach, I clung desperately. I had to push harder. With teary eyes, I looked up at Bora. I knew Bora would soften when she saw me like this.
Seeing me like this, Bora lifted me up. Suddenly, I was in the air, my short legs dangling and swinging around.
Then Bora hugged me and said. I could feel the fullness of her chest.
“No, Hana, you didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Really…?”
“Yeah, of course.”
Bora said that while holding me.
She went to the bed and sat down, then placed me on her lap. I gently sat on her lap.
Then, Bora pulled out a book from somewhere. I thought it might be a fairy tale book, so I took a look at the title.
[Economics Knowledge Even a Monkey Can Understand]
“What is this, Bora?”
“Hmm… Let’s say it’s a book to help Hana use money properly?”
“Money…?”
“Hana seems to lack economic knowledge compared to the money she has. Starting today, you’re going to learn with me, okay?”
“Okay!”
I thought I was going to get a spanking, but since she brought up a completely different topic, I felt better. However, as soon as I started studying the barrage of unfamiliar terms, my face quickly turned gloomy.
“Never cosign for anyone…”
As Bora went on about cosigning, voice phishing, and other economic terms, my mind started to blur. I thought getting a spanking would have been better.
—————————————–
– You should probably hold off on the cube for a while.
I typed with a gloomy expression. I had burned through 200 million in a week. Bora hadn’t told me not to spend money on my hobbies, but I still felt guilty.
Bora didn’t say much when I told her I wanted to be an internet broadcaster. She said she wanted me to have a job I liked, and as long as it wasn’t a bad job, she would support me all the way.
But how much is left in my account? It’s amazing that I still have money after spending 200 million. Should I ask Bora exactly how much is there?
When I asked Bora how much was in the account, she just smiled and said I could keep spending as much as I wanted.
She said the money wouldn’t run out unless I bought a building or a supercar. I thought I should find out the bank password later.
– Honestly, I knew it from the moment you started spinning the cube like crazy for a week.
– You probably used up a year’s worth of cubes for most broadcasters in just a week, right?
– But I’m still number one on the server, so cheers to that.
– LOL, true. It’s not the whole server, but being number one in character rankings in just a week is pretty impressive.
I let go of Icarus for a while. Instead, I thought about spinning more cubes next month. It would look even better if I could be number one on the entire server, not just character rankings. A man should aim for first place.
I decided to look for another game. If it was a game that didn’t cost money, AOS was more suitable for me than RPG.
I turned on ‘League of Relics,’ the so-called national game known as LoL. It had held the top spot in PC rooms for years, and related tournaments were thriving.
Fortunately, I had some gaming skills from the past. Although I only reached Master, that level of skill was considered top-tier among ordinary players.
I had already created five accounts. My goal was to master all lanes. It wasn’t particularly special, but it wasn’t common either.
Originally, LoL tended to focus on just one lane. In a way, that was natural. You had to play your best lane to climb to higher tiers, right?
But as soon as I started LoL, most of the viewers who were watching my stream left. These viewers had come to watch me spend cubes in Icarus, so it was natural for them to leave.
The number of viewers, which had been over 50, had shrunk to just 10. But even that was a decent save. I set my goal to reach Master in mid lane first.
——————————–
Bora stopped by Hana’s room during her break. Hana was streaming.
Bora, being a modern person, knew what internet streaming was. She casually checked out Hana’s stream.
The number of viewers was less than 10. Internet streaming wasn’t an easy job.
Still, Bora didn’t know Hana had a hobby like online gaming, which guys usually enjoy. She had only seen Hana looking for the little magician Lumi every day.
With this number of viewers, it didn’t seem like something to worry about. How many people would watch a little kid’s stream?
In a week, Hana would probably lose interest and look for another hobby. Bora had heard somewhere that it’s good for kids to have diverse experiences, so she planned to support Hana as much as possible whenever she wanted.
