I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 061
Cafe Commotion (1)
[Park Jeong-hye : Myeong-hee~]
[Park Jeong-hye : How about your son comes out together too?]
“No, this kid…!”
In the end, Hwang Myeong-hee exploded.
Jeong-hye?
Actually, she didn’t even know what this kid did for a living.
She heard her son belonged to some guild called Baekho or something, but honestly she wasn’t interested.
They weren’t even close.
She kept sending texts saying she wanted to meet, so she agreed and made plans.
‘What?’
Bring her son along too?
“Mom, why?”
Just then, Baek A-jin, who happened to be home, asked.
After moving to Yubaek City, Baek A-jin frequently visits her parents.
Since they’re neighbors anyway, and it’s the same penthouse, it’s easy to hop over.
“No, it’s one of my classmates… This kid keeps.”
Hwang Myeong-hee briefly explained what happened to Baek A-jin.
‘Oh ho?’
The corners of Baek A-jin’s mouth went up.
She could tell exactly what kind of situation this was just by looking.
“Mom.”
“Yeah?”
“Do you know what Baekho is?”
“I don’t know. Is it somewhere impressive?”
“…Mom, you saw it during the selection tournament too. The most successful major guild in our country! How do you not know even though I always tell you?”
It was absurd.
She had even explained all about the three major guilds back then.
“Hey, you know. I don’t understand what players, guilds, and all that stuff is about. I don’t want to know either.”
“Sigh.”
Baek A-jin let out a deep sigh.
Well.
Her mother, Ms. Hwang Myeong-hee, was too kind for her own good.
No, rather than kind, should she say innocent?
That’s why she would respond to such an obviously transparent meeting and even make plans.
“Mom. Just say I’m going instead.”
“Huh? Jeong-hye said she wants to see your son…”
“Don’t you still know what kind of person our oppa is? Oppa is busy. Going to such gatherings is itself a loss of national power and an act against national interests.”
“Really?”
That won’t do!
Hwang Myeong-hee, convinced by Baek A-jin, nodded her head.
Even so, she felt good inside.
Whether it’s her son or daughter.
They’ve really become amazing people!
A large cafe in Gangnam.
A place with expensive drinks and formally dressed part-timers, where only fairly famous people come.
Jeong-hye invited Hwang Myeong-hee to that place.
“Oh, over here!”
Jeong-hye raised her hand and soon spotted Hwang Myeong-hee and Baek A-jin following behind her.
‘Huh.’
Not a son, but a daughter?
But her looks are extraordinary.
She looks like she could be on TV.
Elegantly pretty, you could say?
No matter how you looked at it, she didn’t seem like she was from a poor family.
‘And the clothes she’s wearing too.’
They were different from usual.
‘Was she always so refined?’
Her atmosphere had completely changed.
While she was staring in a daze, Hwang Myeong-hee had already come right up to her.
“Ahem, ahem.”
When Jeong-hye cleared her throat.
“Hello. I’m Baek A-jin.”
Baek A-jin politely greeted her and sat across from them.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Aunt Jeong-hye.”
“Aha, hahaha! I heard Myeong-hee’s daughter was pretty, and it was true!”
Maybe.
The rainbow snail might have come from a daughter, not a son!
Jeong-hye thought.
Some rich kid might have fallen head over heels for that girl’s beauty and brought her an expensive snail as an offering.
‘No, even so.’
Rainbow snails are really expensive though?
‘Anyway.’
Our son won’t lose to anyone either!
While the three women were having light greetings and conversation.
“Mom?”
A man raises his hand from far away.
He has a sturdy build with a tiger badge on his chest.
The symbol representing the major guild, Baekho!
Murmur murmur.
The cafe became slightly noisy.
All eyes focused on that man!
This is the prestige that major guilds hold in current South Korea.
Even if they don’t cheer openly, it’s enough to make people go ‘Wow, look there. He must be from Baekho Guild.’
“Yes, son. Over here.”
Jeong-hye elegantly called her son.
Her shoulders rose proudly.
How about that!
This is our son!
The four who were supposed to meet had gathered, and conversation began.
Jeong-hye’s repertoire was always the same.
First asking about recent situations, then talking about children.
“By the way, your son is also a player, right? If there’s anything he doesn’t know, he can ask our son.”
“Haha, it’s fine. I didn’t raise him particularly well, but strangely he finds his own way and does well on his own.”
“Hey! Still. Connections are so important these days. No matter how well kids do, parents need to support them from behind so they can spread their wings! You know that’s really important, right?”
Neither Hwang Myeong-hee nor Baek A-jin.
They didn’t mention that the subject was Baek Jin-woo.
They didn’t feel the need to do so.
To be honest, Baek A-jin was getting bored.
It was also annoying.
Even the Baekho guild master and vice guild master bow and scrape in front of oppa, so why is she showing off like that with some Baekho newbie sitting there?
Park Jeong-hye didn’t even ask about Baek A-jin’s profession.
Even with her right there in front of her.
The peak moment was when they talked about the ‘rainbow snail’.
“By the way, Myeong-hee. You know that snail you showed me last time.”
“Yeah, should I show it?”
Wiggle, wiggle.
A cute snail walking on Hwang Myeong-hee’s forearm.
They briefly talked about it, and soon Jeong-hye began to subtly reveal her true nature.
“But do you know how much this costs? I remember you said you didn’t know last time.”
“Yeah, I don’t really know. I’m not planning to sell it anyway. It was a gift.”
“…Really?”
Jeong-hye, who pursed her lips slightly, threw her trump card.
“You wouldn’t sell it even if someone offered 10 billion?”
“…10 billion?”
Hwang Myeong-hee’s mouth opened slightly.
Ironically.
Her words about not knowing the snail’s value were genuine.
The estimated value of the rainbow snail was at least 50 billion.
That was also the price Daeseong was buying them at, and its future value was estimated to exceed 100 billion.
Yet she was gaping at 10 billion.
“Auntie.”
It was then that Baek A-jin, who had been listening, stepped in.
After gulping down her iced americano.
“You’re joking too much. Ten billion? Not even two hundred billion.”
“T-two hundred billion?”
Hwang Myeong-hee, whose mouth opened even wider, looked at her daughter.
Was this snail’s value really that much?
“Oh my, what are you saying? That’s really ignorant talk.”
Jeong-hye was dumbfounded.
Not 50 billion but what?
200 billion?
The kid wasn’t even joking.
“Ignorant talk?”
Annoyed, Baek A-jin replied curtly.
“Daeseong alone would pay 50 billion for it, so isn’t probing with 10 billion more ignorant?”
“…!”
Jeong-hye was shocked.
Look at these kids.
They actually know the proper value of that summoned creature?
“Haha, it seems like our mom spoke without knowing much. Since its performance is so good.”
Eventually, Jeong-hye’s son stepped in to smooth things over, but Baek A-jin was already unleashed.
“I wonder. Ten billion isn’t a small amount of money, so she wouldn’t have blurted it out without properly researching, right?”
“Hey, your words are a bit rude, aren’t they?”
What?
Probing?
Blurted out?
There should be limits.
Why is this young thing so ill-mannered?
“Rude?”
Pfft.
Baek A-jin laughed.
Hwang Myeong-hee was flustered, not knowing what to do.
It was the first time seeing her always-polite daughter like this.
“If auntie’s son is from Baekho Guild, he must be quite a capable talent, but after taking up such a precious son’s time, all you talk about is bragging about your child. That would be different if you were close with my mom. Isn’t it too obvious what you’re after?”
“What?”
Jeong-hye was speechless with shock, but had nothing to say.
Every word was right on target.
“Aren’t your words a bit harsh?”
Jeong-hye’s son stepped forward, but Baek A-jin didn’t back down.
“If you want to succeed properly, you should manage your mother well. The world is wide, and there are many outstanding people. Your mother lacks humility.”
“…”
The atmosphere instantly turned cold.
“Can you take responsibility for those words?”
“I stated facts, so what responsibility?”
Thud.
Baek A-jin stood up.
“Mom, let’s get up. You should raise your standards too. Don’t meet just anyone who asks to meet.”
“Uh, huh?”
As the flustered Hwang Myeong-hee stood up with her.
“Sit down.”
BANG!
Jeong-hye’s son, who had been holding back, slammed the table.
He hit it so hard that the cups on top fell over and coffee and ice spilled everywhere.
The bustling cafe became quiet.
People stirred and looked this way.
‘Wow, this guy. He’s completely unreasonable.’
Just as Baek A-jin was about to click her tongue.
Jingle!
As the cafe door opened, a group entered.
Coincidence is truly amazing.
Of all times, that group entered the Gangnam cafe then.
There were three in the group.
One Baekho officer.
Ilwol’s vice guild master Hwang Ju-won.
And Arirang’s guild master Hong Ari.
The so-called Big 3 major guilds periodically meet monthly to communicate.
This time there was a gathering hosted by Arirang, and Hong Ari generously treated the selected officers to a meal.
And they came to the cafe as a second round.
Since they were all well-known figures, they came here while looking for a high-class cafe.
“Hehe, did we enter the wrong place? Why is the atmosphere like this?”
Since the cafe interior was too quiet, Hwang Ju-won laughed.
“Right. Should we go somewhere else?”
Just as Hong Ari was about to go back outside.
“Wait a moment.”
The Baekho officer who quickly scanned the space found the source.
The woman standing over there.
The male player trembling with his fist planted on the table.
And the Baekho badge on his chest.
‘That guy.’
He knew him well.
A newcomer who had joined recently, someone he’d seen coming and going.
Among the new recruits, he was at least average.
‘But why is he acting like that?’
Causing a commotion while wearing the guild badge?
This was directly connected to Baekho’s honor, so it couldn’t be overlooked.
Murmur murmur.
The cafe stirred once again.
“Look over there. It’s Hwang Ju-won.”
“Huh, National Team Hwang Ju-won? Wow, he’s really a handsome middle-aged man? Isn’t he over 50?”
“Hong Ari is there too. There’s another Player wearing a Baekho badge?”
“What’s this, is today Player day?”
“Hong Ari is gorgeous.”
As attention was being divided like that.
‘Hm?’
It was then that Hong Ari’s gaze fell upon Baek A-jin.
‘…Baek Jin-woo’s younger sister?’
Since she’d been training at Yubaek recently, she’d encountered Baek A-jin several times and knew her well.
In this situation, Hong Ari couldn’t just pass by either.
It clearly looked like a troublesome situation.
Baek Jin-woo was her master.
She had to fulfill her duty as a disciple.
‘But this doesn’t make sense.’
How could a mere Baekho Player dare to intimidate Baek Jin-woo’s sister?
Unless he was insane, there was no way that could happen.
After the gang incident, touching Baek Jin-woo’s family had become taboo.
It was still vivid in her memory.
The sight of criminals crying and sniveling, begging to be helped to turn themselves in.
“Do you know them?”
When the Baekho Officer asked, Hong Ari nodded.
“She’s Player Baek Jin-woo’s younger sister.”
“What?”
The officer was immediately shocked.
Has that rookie bastard lost his mind?
“Haha?”
Hwang Ju-won also laughed as if surprised.
Now everyone couldn’t just let this slide.
They had to at least check what the situation was.
Step, step.
Eventually Hong Ari and the Baekho Officer moved toward the source, while Hwang Ju-won sat down near the counter with hearty laughter.
It looked interesting enough that he’d watch from a distance.
As they approached.
Baek A-jin bowed her head slightly in greeting.
Jeong-hye’s Son, startled, quickly stood up and showed proper respect.
