04. Is this our area? Yeah. No~

Oh oh, what’s up with Sonia-ssi?

Did she come to see Yuna-ssi?

 

 

“Oh, how??”

Yuna-ssi is flustered.

 

“Ah, I told her. Since your mother is a lawyer, I thought it might be of some help….”

“How did you know that?”

“I handed out my business cards in advance.”

 

Wow. Don’t tell me she handed out business cards at the nearby police station the day we met? Is that even possible?

 

“Anyway, I can’t believe Sonia-ssi is your mother. You’re so blessed.”

“Blessed my ass….”

 

 

Yuna-ssi’s face turns red as if she’s shy.

She looks like a teenage girl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the business at the police station was done, we went to a nearby restaurant.

We came to a burger joint to have a conversation and grab a quick bite.

 

 

“Mom, why do you have to follow me to places like this! I don’t need any support!”

“Support? I handed out my business cards so they could punish you more severely if you committed a crime.”

“….”

 

 

Wow… she’s cold.

 

 

“Anyway, I didn’t realize it last time, but you seem to be quite a strong team.”

 

 

Sonia-ssi looks at me. Just that makes me feel like I’m enveloped in her scent…

 

 

“Ah. Yes. We’re probably the strongest in the world.”

“That much?”

 

She’s slightly surprised.

 

“Yes. As long as I’m here, there’s no doubt about it.”

“Hmm.”

 

She tilted her head, pondering as if she didn’t believe me, and I almost pounced on her in that instant.

She’s too pretty! That’s cheating!!

 

 

“Well, confidence is good to see.”

“No… it’s not confidence, we’re really the strongest in the world.”

“Really? I wonder what makes you so sure.”

 

She asks with a straight face, it feels like an interrogation… well, if it’s an interrogation by Sonia-ssi, I’m all for it.

 

 

“Ahem. This is usually top secret, but I’m telling you because it’s you, Sonia-ssi.”

“Does that cosplay-like outfit have anything to do with it?”

 

 

Sonia-ssi asks, pointing at my Hongryongpo.

We were in a fast food restaurant, but I was still wearing my Ikseongwan, so we were attracting a lot of attention.

 

 

“Ah… well, it’s not nothing, but it’s minor.”

“Your daughter is wearing a Hanbok too….”

“Hehe. Isn’t she pretty?”

 

Sora-nuna takes a sip of her cola and answers.

Her bright smile spread to Sonia-ssi’s face… or so I thought, but no way.

 

 

“I knew that adventurers often wear unique outfits. But you all are wearing outfits with a common theme, like uniforms. Does it mean something? Like creating a new guild. If that’s the case, I’d be happy to welcome you and help.”

 

Oh. A guild.

I definitely need to make a guild. Should I absorb Stone Age? I’ll banish all the male guild members and create my own guild, my own maid corps. That sounds good, doesn’t it?

 

 

“I have a guild.”

“For now.”

“….”

 

 

Sigh… they’re still in a cold war. They’re mother and daughter, they should be more friendly.

 

Sonia-ssi looked at her wristwatch and smiled slightly.

 

 

“Okay, I have a meeting with the site representative soon, would you like to come with me?”

“Why would I?”

“Suit yourself.”

“….”

 

 

Could that site be Spicy Rib Stew she’s talking about?

 

“Can I follow you?”

 

 

So I said it.

 

 

“…? You?”

 

Sonia-ssi’s eyes widened as if she was surprised, and Sora-nuna, who was busy picking up cabbage that had fallen on the paper, and Yuna-ssi, who was eating french fries with her lips pouted, also looked at me.

In other words, all eyes were on me.

 

 

“Yes. I want to take it as a life experience.”

“Wh-what are you talking about! Why are you going there!”

“Hmm.”

Sonia-ssi pondered for a moment.

But she nodded before long.

 

 

“Well, fine. If you’re my son-in-law, you’re practically family, so it’s okay to take you.”

 

Uh… I think she said I was something like a boyfriend, but now I’m already her son-in-law….

 

 

“It matters!! It matters a lot!!! Why are you taking that person to Mom’s work! Besides, isn’t that against the rules? The client side will complain!”

“Complain? Dare they? Hehe. Those people should be grateful that I’m even listening to such a ridiculous case. No other lawyer besides me would take on such a ridiculous case. In other words, I’m the only one.”

“St-still, ethically as a lawyer….”

“I’ll take care of that. If you’re so worried, you can come too, right?”

“Keuek….”

 

 

Yuna-ssi bites her lip and looks at me.

 

 

“Is this… did you two plan this? To drag me in?”

“Me? Why would I? If you don’t want to come, that’s fine too. I’ll just have a chat with my son-in-law.”

“…I-I’m not your son-in-law.”

“You will be soon, right? Right?”

“Yes? Ah… yes… well….”

 

 

I guess I will be someday. Although I’m not just going to marry Yuna-ssi.

 

 

 

 

 

.

After finishing dinner, I headed to the meeting place with Sonia-ssi.

It wasn’t in Gangnam where we were, but in another area, so I ended up riding in her car for quite a while, and it was super fancy.

When I pressed a button, it automatically came to us and even opened the door. Automatically.

 

 

Should I buy a car too… ah, I don’t have a license.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We’re here.”

“Uh… but isn’t it a bit late?”

The appointment time was 9 PM. But it’s 9:36 PM now. It’s way too late.

 

 

Sonia-ssi smiled once.

Ah… her smile is so pretty.

 

 

“It’s okay. I have to do this much for them to know their place.”

“I-is that so?”

 

 

This person isn’t just nice….

As I hurriedly got out of the car, the door closed on its own and it went to the nearby parking lot by itself.

 

 

Ttokakttokak.

 

I followed her into the cafe as she confidently walked with her bag on her shoulder.

 

“Welcome~”

 

 

The part-time worker greets us brightly.

Sonia-ssi nodded lightly and looked around the cafe.

 

 

“Those people… right?”

“I think so.”

 

 

Three distinctive people were sitting in the cafe, so much so that I, who had never seen the client’s face, could tell at a glance.

 

 

At that level… about three times Sonia-ssi’s…?

I’m not exaggerating. They’re really that wide.

 

 

“Are you Ms. Bang Eunyi?”

 

When Sonia-ssi said that, the women turned around abruptly.

 

Hmm. I can read their thoughts clearly.

 

 

First, they’re in fresh shock at Sonia-ssi’s fantastic beauty, then bad feelings including jealousy raise their heads, and those feelings explode when they see the late hour and my Han Nam Choong face.

 

 

“Lee Yuna-ssi??”

“Yes.”

“N-no, what time is it now, and you’re just arriving?!”

“The road was blocked.”

 

 

Sonia-ssi said that and committed the ‘taboo’ of pulling out a chair for me.

 

 

“Ah. Thank you.”

“Wh-what…!”

 

 

As expected, their faces are turning bright red.

By the way, it’s really amazing. How did they sit on the chairs? Three of them, too.

 

 

“E-excuse me.”

“Yes.”

“Who is this person?”

“We didn’t hear anything about a man coming!”

“We wanted a female lawyer!!”

 

 

They take breaths in between speaking as if they’re tired, and wipe the sweat flowing down their faces with tissues.

Is it hot now? I think they turned on the air conditioner.

 

 

“I’m the lawyer, so don’t worry. Oh, have you all ordered?”

 

Is there even a need to ask…?

Looking at the table, they’ve already eaten. How many cups and plates are there?

 

 

“Eun-ssi, what would you like to drink?”

“Yes? Uh… Iced Americano.”

 

 

I can feel the coolness of the air conditioner, but I feel hotter because of the overwhelming people in front of me.

 

 

“Really? Don’t you want something like bread?”

“Nope. I’m okay.”

 

Sonia-ssi nodded and went to order ‘herself’.

 

Is she… deliberately provoking them?

 

 

A ‘woman’ pulling out a chair for a ‘man’,

A ‘woman’ going to take orders instead of a ‘man’. Isn’t this a complete Megal provocation?

 

 

 

 

“Ssang. She’s so rude.”

 

 

As Sonia-ssi walks away, the three women grumble.

Still, they go straight to swearing when I’m right here.

 

 

“If she’s late, she should apologize, right?”

“And did you see earlier? She pulled out a chair for him.”

“She seems like a hyungja.”

“Ah, hopeless. We came all this way with difficulty, but there’s no gain.”

 

 

They’re whispering all kinds of insults with me in front of them… honestly, I can hear everything. Or are they doing it for me to hear?

 

 

 

 

Ah… I want to see Yuna-ssi.

 

Only after the flower has fallen do I realize it was spring…

I know how normal Yuna-ssi is.

 

 

 

 

At that moment when I sighed,

 

 

Suddenly, one of them smiles and points at me, shouting.

 

 

“Hey!! You just scanned my body, didn’t you?! Didn’t you!!”

“…What?”

 

 

I unconsciously spoke informally.

 

 

“You just looked at my chest with lecherous eyes!! Oh my. This is really something. You know this is sexual harassment… no, sexual assault? It’s visual rape!!”

“As expected, a Han Nam Choong!!”

“That’s why we hired a female lawyer!!”

 

 

…What are these bitches saying. Why would I look at a pig’s chest. What would I do with it.

 

 

“Wow, you’re still looking at me shamelessly. The Republic of Korea is going to ruin because people like you have gender power! Apologize right now!!”

“If it weren’t for the lawyer-nim, I’d sue you right away.”

 

 

…Should I just cut them up with a knife and make Samgyeopsal? And treat it to the monsters. For their hard work.

 

 

“Why would I look at you. You’re strange people.”

“Wh-what did you say? Strange people? You just insulted us!!”

“And why would you look at us….”

“Ha! So you’re saying our fat bodies aren’t even worth looking at?”

“Wow. Body shaming is crazy.”

 

 

“What’s going on?”

 

Ah. Sonia-ssi is back. I feel like I’m being purified.

 

 

“Lawyer-nim!! This man just scanned my body with lecherous eyes!! This is sexual harassment!!”

“Yes?”

 

Sonia-ssi paused for a moment, then put the Americano in front of me with a slight smile.

 

 

“There seems to be some misunderstanding, but Eun-ssi is not that kind of person.”

“A-are you… laughing at me?”

“Laughing?”

“You just laughed after hearing what I said!”

“Ah~.”

 

Sonia-ssi smiled again.

She doesn’t usually smile, but she smiles well at times like this.

 

 

“Calm down. Nothing like that happened.”

“Nothing like that happened!! Then what did I experience? He definitely visually raped me!!”

“Visual rape?”

“Yes! That lecherous gaze, like a snake crawling! That’s visual rape! How can someone who’s even a lawyer not know that?”

 

Wow, she’s going all out.

 

 

“Um. Well, since I know, let’s sit down first. And how about lowering your voice a little? Everyone’s staring.”

“Is other people’s gaze important? Or is a victim’s human rights important!”

“Etiquette is important.”

“So you’re saying my human rights aren’t important?!”

“I don’t know why human rights are coming out of this.”

“Hmph! If I were a man, you would have believed me right away and called the police! It’s all because women’s rights are low. You don’t believe me and ignore me because I’m a woman!”

 

 

Now she’s even pointing at Sonia-ssi.

 

 

And I could see it then.

The eerie smile drawn on Sonia-ssi’s lips.

 

 

“Go find women’s rights at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and sit down first.”

“No, this man sexually harassed me!!”

“I said that’s not possible.”

 

As Sonia-ssi denies it, white steam is coming out of the three pigs’ heads as if they’re getting even more angry.

 

 

“Ha!! You believe a man’s words but not a woman’s? This is misogyny! Even though I was clearly sexually harassed, you’re looking at the victim with contempt! That kind of misogyny isㅡ.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Why would I look at pigs like you? When I’m nearby. If I looked, I would have looked at my ass.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ooh.

The three pigs hesitate for a moment.

 

 

“Wh-what…!”

 

 

 

 

Sonia-ssi erased her gentle expression and arrogantly crossed her legs.

 

 

“What visual rape are you talking about when you can’t even cross your legs? Do you have sex appeal or charm? I might even consider it if you were at least cute. This is like three cute-less pig brothers insisting on sexual harassment. Eun-ssi, did you see this person’s chest?”

“Yes?”

“If you really did, I should take you to the ophthalmologist right now. What if our son-in-law’s eyesight gets worse?”

“H-hey… now… now… insultㅡ.”

“Ah, I’m sorry. I insulted you too much. What should I do, I feel sorry for the pig.”

“!!”

“Pigs at least provide food so that humanity doesn’t die, right? What help are our ‘self-proclaimed women’ pig brothers giving to humanity?”

 

Wow… what a deal…
