Many conflicts in the world can be resolved with money. Most cases that seem like exceptions are simply due to lack of money.

Of course, given the nature of the market and currency, there was a clear limit to the influence of capital. Even if it is a case that can be solved with money, there are often cases where the conclusion is that even if all the money in the world is collected, there is not enough money. You need to be careful because if you forget this, you will reach the conclusion that global warming is so severe that we will sell the Earth and buy Mars.

However, the current case can be said to be one that can be solved with money.

“Eating ramen three times a day is ridiculous!”

Yumina shouted.

Who’s on duty for today’s meal?

Laplace looking for cookies in the refrigerator without even eating ramen?

Do Yu-geon, who uses chopsticks but eats slowly?

Or Yumina, who shouts that something she made is nonsense?

Of course, Yumina did not make this ramen.

Instead of falling into the trap of an amateur who makes it the way he wants and then ruins the dish, it was made by a genius pretty girl who followed the recipe on the back of the bag exactly and completed the ramen with skilled cooking skills.

“Not this.”

“If you ignore the sincerity of the person who served you the food, it will be used. If you are dissatisfied, just cook it yourself. If you don’t work, you shouldn’t eat. It’s the absolute truth of the 21st century.”

“First of all, I don’t agree with that idiom, and you’re on dinner duty today!”

“So, I prepared ramen. I don’t know your taste, so I carefully selected a product that was widely chosen by the market. Enjoy it.”

“It means I bought the best-selling product.”

“Do you really need to belittle me like that?”

I’m sad.

“This is a matter of sincerity. How can you provide ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?”

Yumina grumbled and accepted the cola offered by Laplace.

“But there was no condition that ramen should not be served on meal duty.”

“Are you trying to argue with me about the principle of good faith?”

The daughter of a legal family was excited.

“Do you think it would be better for me to eat ramen? Of course, it was inevitable that I cooked it.”

Upon hearing this, Yumina’s eyes lit up and she pointed to the food placed here. It’s not ramen, it’s a mini cake I ordered. As for why the cake is all to yourself, it can be like that sometimes.

no. When I thought about it, a good reason came to mind.

Modern Korean food has the advantage of high vegetable intake, but it also has the disadvantage of high sodium intake. Sometimes it was necessary to have a different diet for health. Although cake is not a good choice.

But that’s why I’m cooking ramen for dinner now, and that can happen sometimes.

Now that I think about it, do I really need a reason? You can eat cake if you want. It’s delicious. If it’s too sweet, it won’t suit my taste, but this cheesecake is just fine.

However, Yumina seemed dissatisfied with eating cake. There’s nothing I can do.

I leaned over and asked the cake a question.

“Cake, do you mind if I eat it all by myself?”

I listened closely to hear the answer, but of course there was no answer. Since ancient times, silence has been positive.

“That’s right.”

I nodded and told Yumina the cake’s response.

“What’s wrong with that!”

Yumina suddenly grabbed my shoulder and shook me violently. The world was shaken. I tried to pull the body out, but couldn’t due to the difference in strength, so I carefully removed it using magic.

I tidied up my messy hair.

“But it’s a hassle to cook.”

“Hey girl. You’re on duty today!”

“So, you said you would call the maid when I was on duty. You were the one who decided against it. It would be difficult to do this now.”

This is a case that can be solved with money, and the money is ready.

“On duty is not a role where you have to pay money to get things done.”

“It’s my money, so what?”

Yumina flinched. I just said it, but I guess it was taken as a threat. I guess I’m worried that this person will suddenly tell me that I won’t be on duty and that I can leave my house if I don’t like it. Yumina somehow seems to lack trust in her friends. Or maybe it’s unnecessarily adult-like.

Should the joke end here? The best answer is to do your job faithfully. Since I don’t want to work, the next best thing would be better.

“Okay, okay. It doesn’t look good if I’m the only one missing. But now that I think about it, I think it’s too much of a waste for high school students to do housework, no matter how much they live alone.”

I muttered as I cut the cake into bite-sized pieces with a fork. Yumina looked at me as if I was wondering what she was talking about. The treatment is not good.

“It’s such a waste to spend time doing housework during a time when learning efficiency is high. If you spend that time playing, at least you won’t become an adult who doesn’t know how to rest or play.”

I took the sliced cake with a fork and handed it to Do Yoo-geon, who was dipping some ramen.

“Why are you eating tasteless ramen? Eat cake.”

“You did it….”

Even though he thought it was absurd, he accepted the fork with the cake stuck in it.

“please give me too.”

“Nope.”

I rejected Laplace’s shameless request and used magic. For ventilation purposes, the wind blew and the ramen disappeared through the magic circle. If you give it to them roughly, the security guards will take care of it. I opened the refrigerator with magic and filled the empty space on the table with dessert. Laplace, who is quick-witted, has been taking out cookies and eating them for a long time, but he only took out the ones he wanted to eat.

“If you have to set a duty to do housework, it would be better to spend money on a maid or a professional company. I will pay all the costs.”

“So you’re going to hire me seven days a week?”

Laplace’s eyes widened.

“Probably not a whole week. I’ve never hired anything like this before, so it’s hard to explain.”

I used a cleaning service in my past life, so I know that cleaning comes at a certain time, but I’m not sure about the rest. It would be roughly similar.

It is said that mothers sometimes use a company when housework gets tiresome, but I have never met an employee in person, perhaps because they are trying to hide it for home education purposes. My mom suddenly drags me out of the house, so I spend some time, but when I get home, no one is there and the cleaning has already been done or the food is ready.

“I totally agree. She’s really, really smart!”

Laplace clapped his hands. I wish he could distinguish between praise and sarcasm. The nuance is strange, so I don’t know what it means. I live pessimistically about life and only know how to be sarcastic.

Laplace liked it, but the other two people’s reactions were lukewarm.

“It’s not a good idea. Even though it may seem like a waste of time, it’s helpful to build up your skills now because you’ll end up doing everything if you live alone.”

“It’s a common misconception. Mistaking the results of adaptation for rational results and adding rational reasons later is a typical example of a psychological defense mechanism.”

Yumina blinked, made eye contact with Laplace, and smiled at each other. I don’t know if they have their own consensus or the point of laughter. Instead of talking, they are smiling among themselves.

“Yes, my lady, do whatever is convenient for you. Now that I think about it, it would be nice if I didn’t have to worry about keeping up with my duty schedule. Even if I meant to throw away the ramen, why is it dessert?”

I’m asking the obvious.

“I just happened to want cheesecake. But that doesn’t mean it’s weird to eat cake by yourself during a meal. The smell of the food makes it unpleasant.”

“So I guess I’ve lowered my expectations with ramen, so let’s top off my meal with dessert?”

“huh.”

“Where should I start preaching this?”

Yumina asked Do Yoo-geon. Do Yu-geon ate all the cake he handed to him and was quenching his appetite.

The guy thought about it carefully and said.

“First of all, was the cake delicious?”

“Really? I should praise the employee who bought it.”

Yumina touched her forehead.

“Oh my gosh, come to your senses. Even though this girl is cute, if you don’t speak out firmly at times like this, you’ll get in big trouble later.”

“Don’t teach your child strange things.”

“Watch what you’re saying!”

He completely ignored the pointing. I used magic to bring a plate and put some of the mini cakes on it. When I handed it to Do Yoo-geon, he took the plate and just smiled while looking at Yu-mina. Who are you looking at now? I stabbed him in the side with magic.

The meal continued with small talk. It was a strange situation that Do Yu-geon rarely spoke to this person first, but given his condition, everyone here ignored it without saying anything.

The change occurred when I was contemplating whether to have another cup of coffee instead of eating the cake.

The guy cleared his throat a few times and made eye contact.

“I have something to tell you.”

now? here? While you were eating? As I was panicking, I started saying strange things.

“I’ve been avoiding you lately. I’m sorry. It’s because I started worrying more about my career path after entering high school.”

What kind of absurd excuse is this?

Laplace wondered if he was the only one who felt this way, raising one corner of his mouth and making a deflated sound. I agree, but I feel bad when someone else does that.

“…I see. That can happen, right?”

When I asked Yumina for sympathy, she nodded enthusiastically. At this point, I felt the will to ignore this topic. It’s quite a secret.

“That’s right! I have a lot of worries these days too! So, what homework do you have tomorrow?”

“They said there was no homework.”

Regardless of whether Yumina gave Laplace a look telling him to understand the mood or not, Do Yoo-geon spoke seriously.

“After thinking about it, I realized that I shouldn’t just study. If I do nothing during a time of global upheaval, I’m sure I’ll regret it later.”

“……That’s no different from what I said when I was in middle school.”

“No. Wait.”

Do Yu-geon entered the room and brought out a data book. It seemed that he had organized research reports from national research institutes, economic research institutes of large corporations, or international organizations. It is perplexing because the investigation method is systematic.

An explanation came out of the guy’s mouth, as if he had seen it once or twice.

Industry structure.

Market size.

Future prospects.

“So now is a good blue ocean to enter!”

ah… … .

How should I define this feeling?

To compare it to my past life experience, I feel like I saw a friend who had been interested in short-term stock investment since he was young start to take interest in real estate gap investment as he got older.

My speech and knowledge have become more professional, but my mind has not grown at all.

Can’t I just study hard? Then, you can solve all your worries about the future.

“So, I came up with a plan, but because I was busy sparring with the chairman, I didn’t even get to the second job, I neglected leveling up, and I was sluggish even after that. I thought it would be better to do it all at once. What do you think?”

“……Ok, fine.”

The feelings and language came out differently.

I feel like I’m being dragged around too much.

“Great!”

The guy liked it.

Well, that’s it.
