Final EP. Neighbor and Local People -2

The tipsy people and the night workers responsible for their entertainment mingled, breaking the silence of the night.

Seoul’s night was not dark.

Never-ending neon signs scattered a faint light like fireflies, and on both sides of the well-maintained roads, streetlights and the fierce gazes of cars on the road resisted the darkness of nature.

Even considering that, the sky was brighter than usual today.

This was because a huge full moon hung high in the sky, showing off as if it were about to fall.

In an officetel where noise and moonlight entered, there was a woman.

What illuminated her room was the blue light from the monitor and the gray light from her eyes.

“The loss was greater than expected.”

Isis muttered.

[Do not use your abilities to greatly disturb the world. That is the condition.]

She recalled the words of the Dimension Management God.

She judged that there was a high probability of making a lot of money without directly accessing the computer network.

That’s why she moved next door to him, even if it was a bit of a stretch.

The technology here is about two centuries behind her original world.

Isis judged that she could make enough money just by using her analytical skills.

However, there was no such thing as 100%.

“Loss rate is -45%.”

Isis muttered, looking at her stock account, which was dyed blue, with a complicated expression.

“I think it will be difficult to pay the monthly rent.”

After a moment of silence, Isis frowned as if she had been scolded by someone.

“NB. I know that. But you agreed that being physically close to Kang In-ho is advantageous, didn’t you?”

Isis’s expression became more and more distorted at NB’s criticism.

“Lee Mina and Kim Sung-ah had already taken over the company, so I couldn’t get in. The quota was already full, so what could I do?”

Isis’s monologue continued.

“More than that, I need to focus on getting back to even now. If I fall behind on the rent, I’ll be separated from Kang In-ho.”

As NB’s criticism continued, Isis changed the subject.

Isis pulled up her chair and turned her gaze back to the monitor.

Her fingers, which were tapping on the keyboard, were too fast to be captured with the naked eye.

The internet window repeatedly popped up and disappeared dozens of times.

Unprocessed information began to pile up in Isis’s head.

“…Start analysis.”

She gathered information and connected it into one huge network. Information was linked to information, and the introduction, development, turn, and conclusion, as well as cause and effect, were matched.

Through that series of processes, promising stocks were selected.

“They say that investment is momentum here.”

Isis said triumphantly to NB.

“Now, NB. Today, we will make up for all the losses we have had so far.”

She took a deep breath and put her hand on the mouse.

“It’s Time of Heroes.”

Isis muttered with a determined look.

Bang!

“What, what is it?”

With a loud vibration, Kang In-ho’s eyes snapped open.

He clearly felt an impact that shook his body, but as if nothing had happened, the officetel was quiet.

“……..”

He scratched his head. His eyes had not yet adjusted to the darkness, so he could not see anything yet.

“Bathroom or….”

Since he was already up, he went to the bathroom.

“The time is… um, 4:10 AM.”

It was an ambiguous time.

As he peed, he removed the sleep from his eyes.

While admiring his old appearance with his hair sticking out like a bird’s nest, his stomach made a noise.

“I’m a little hungry.”

Perhaps because he was in the cold bathroom, he had woken up.

He scratched his stomach and lay back down on the bed.

This was because his hunger was not yet strong enough to overcome his laziness.

And 5 minutes later.

“Aish….”

Kang In-ho kicked the blanket and got up again.

This was because his stomach was growling even louder than before.

“Okay, let’s eat.”

He picked up the training clothes that had fallen on the floor.

5 minutes later.

He put on his slippers and left the officetel, leaving behind the next-door neighbor where he felt a presence for some reason.

The streets at 4 AM were naturally quiet.

This was because even the night people who enjoyed drinking and entertainment went home at 4 AM.

Occasionally, silence roamed the alleyways on the wind, but he was not particularly scared.

This was because the road to the convenience store was brightly lit by streetlights.

The convenience store was not far from the officetel.

It was only about 100m away, so in fact, it should be said that it was within spitting distance.

“What should I eat? Would it be too much to eat three kimbaps?”

Since he was already awake, he thought about eating an early breakfast.

“No, let’s just eat ramen quietly. Eating carbohydrates with carbohydrates is crazy.”

He checked the wallet in his pocket again and increased his pace.

This was because his stomach was growling more and more severely, urging him on.

Perhaps because the weather was getting warmer, there was already a guest at the convenience store table outside.

He roughly checked that someone was sitting there and went inside the convenience store.

Since he had already decided what to eat, it did not take him long to choose the food.

He bought bibim ramen, added hot water, and waited for 3 minutes.

Although it was a short 3 minutes, it felt quite long to him.

Judging that the noodles were cooked enough, he poured out the water and mixed in the sauce evenly.

As the bright red noodles appeared, his mouth watered involuntarily.

“Looks delicious.”

The spicy taste eaten at dawn. Who could resist this?

He picked up the ramen and headed to the table outside the convenience store.

He put the ramen on the empty table and mixed the noodles once more with chopsticks.

Drip-

Just as he was about to put a handful of noodles in his mouth, a clear sound rang out.

His gaze automatically turned to the sound, and his gaze captured the guest sitting at the next table.

A woman with her black hair tied up and sharp facial features was raising a soju glass above her eyes.

As if moonlight was falling on the glass, a bluish light touched the surface of the glass and scattered.

The woman slowly brought the soju glass to her mouth.

The strong liquor began to pass through the gap in her dainty lips.

The woman, who had emptied the glass, put it down on the table and opened her closed eyes.

He thought that those eyes were definitely like bright red rubies.
