Coin (1)
“Who uses coins these days?”
“What are you talking about! I still use a lot!”
“Everyone uses a card. My brother gives me allowance using a card.”
“What? You’re giving me pocket money by card?”
Hong Seok-young looked at me in surprise.
“With a card? How can you give me pocket money with a card? It’s no fun to receive pocket money!”
“It’s not like I’m giving pocket money for fun.”
Hong Seok-young began to grumble with a dissatisfied expression.
“You don’t know what it’s like to spend money until you touch the paper money… If I put money on your card, do you think it’s money? Right, Irok?”
“I prefer cards.”
“Irok-ah, you should take the uncle’s side, right?”
“Why? You don’t give me any allowance.”
“I’ll pay your brother’s salary!”
“But my uncle still doesn’t give me my allowance.”
How long do I have to watch this ridiculous farce?
But I didn’t want to get involved, so I ignored it. No, let’s change the perspective. It’s Wooirok playing with Hong Seok-young instead of me. Hong Seok-young will think that he’s playing with Wooirok instead of me.
That’s how everyone wins. No one gets hurt and everyone gets what they want.
“… … .”
Well, of course, there are people who suffer without gaining anything.
The development of science and technology has been different each year, but in some ways it is consistent. People probably gathered on the Internet and chatted twenty years ago, and they are still chatting twenty years later. Is there anything different about this point in time?
Kim Chae-min lent me his ID to check out the wizard community. He idolizes magic more than science, but isn’t he using the benefits of civilization better than anyone else?
‘You’ll be able to see a lot of fun things.’
Kim Chae-min said that only wizards above a certain level are given the right to access this place.
‘That doesn’t mean there are only proper wizards, do you know what I mean?’
‘Can I just tell you this?’
‘Of course not. But what if they find out I told them? Will they cut the Archmage?’
It’s nice to see someone so confident. Of course, it’s not good for people to be arrogant, but it’s also not good to see someone being unnecessarily mean.
If you know your abilities well and are confident in them, that’s the best thing.
‘Just avoid simultaneous connections, just avoid simultaneous connections.’
Still, wouldn’t it be better to avoid bothersome things? said Kim Chae-min.
He told me to look around as much as I wanted since he doesn’t log in often anyway and he would tell me when he needed to.
‘I think Mr. Woo would be better at picking out suspicious news than me.’
I don’t know if you’re saying you trust me or if you’re trying to trick me.
‘And really! Information doesn’t come up here. But it’s good to look at the atmosphere, you know? That kind of stuff. Sometimes there are guys who try to manipulate people to their own tastes, though.’
‘Everywhere people live is the same.’
Kim Chae-min laughed out loud.
‘Even wizards aren’t that great.’
The wizards who weren’t that great were fighting hard within their own community. If this were real life and not the internet, they would have grabbed each other by the hair and even punched each other.
“I pay Heejae’s salary, and the money goes to Irok, so in a broad sense, you could say that I’m the one giving it to him!”
“What kind of logic is that!”
…there are poor souls fighting hard right before our eyes.
Still, one of them is a child, so it can be considered normal, but it is a bleak reality that a half-century old man with the same mental age is running around trying to beat a child.
I shook my head and looked at my phone. The Mo Wizard community was in full swing at the moment.
[We can’t leave this like this]
[Dayeon and Daseon behavior]
[When did magic become cheap?]
[You guys are so funny, since when do you treat runes as magic?]
[When a wizard should stand up]
There are all kinds of ridiculous posts in languages from all over the world. I could guess what the content was just by looking at the title without having to click on the post.
It was the third day since the Magic Shield Rune was revealed through the multi-line.
“I’m not giving you my allowance! Don’t worry about it!”
“Wooirok. What are you talking about, sir?”
“My older brother gives me my allowance, so you don’t have to worry.”
… What is he watching these days? His vocabulary is questionable. He probably has protection mode on anyway, so he can’t watch anything but children’s animations.
Hong Seok-young laughed heartily at Woo I-rok’s words. It was a laugh that sounded pleasant to the point of being uneasy.
“Then what if you give me pocket money? Does that give me the right to say anything to you?”
That’s what you were aiming for.
I could hear Wooirok’s eyes rolling all the way here. I kept pretending to look at my phone, wondering what to do.
Instead of reading a difficult European language, I clicked on an English post that was relatively easy to read. In this day and age, translation machines aren’t that good yet…
[Why are you making such a fuss already? After all, only a wizard can draw runes. The runes in question won’t starve us to death, but will feed us.
I think that rune will soon become a must-have for dungeon raiding. And what about the wizards who can draw that rune? What do you think will happen?
If you were intelligent wizards, wouldn’t you know?]
Nationality… let’s see. British.
The way he spoke seemed to be European. As Kim Chae-min said, America has a more free-spirited atmosphere.
I deliberately checked out a few more posts by European wizards. Even though the translation wasn’t very good, I could still understand what they were saying. Most of them had similar arguments to the British guy.

I don’t like the runes.
Anyway, only wizards can draw runes, so don’t worry.
Who is the wizard who created the runes like Dasun?
It is a disgrace to the wizard, he should be expelled… .
I laughed at the last sentence because it was so ridiculous. Expulsion? Where on earth would you expel someone? Even if you do that, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a wizard if you can use magic.
“… How much is it? Depending on the amount, it’s not something that can’t be considered.”
And they’re also talking nonsense.
I was wondering what to say, but I stopped. Even if I tried to stop him, Hong Seok-young would come up with all sorts of strange excuses and keep giving things to Woo I-rok. That old man hasn’t given up yet.
“How much does it cost to become your son?”
Something that would only appear in an old classic drama… .
“How far can you go?”
Wooirok, what the hell are you looking at!!!
Hong Seok-young opened his eyes wide at Woo I-rok’s answer and then burst into laughter.
“Oh my, how far can you go?”
Hong Seok-young laughed even louder when he saw me.
“It is possible for Lee Rok to do whatever he wants!”
“… … .”
“How much is that?”
Wooirok spoke grumpily, perhaps thinking he was being laughed at.
You stupid guy… That’s not a joke. That guy never talks nonsense.
I forced myself to look at my cell phone.
American wizards, no matter what they actually thought, were at least outwardly in favor of multi-election. There was also the feeling that they were opposing European opinion for the time being, since they were soon to completely separate from the existing magical society.
On the other hand, Asian wizards did not express much opinion. Occasionally, posts by Japanese or Chinese wizards were seen, but Korean wizards were virtually annihilated.
It is rare to find a Korean magician who does not have a connection to Dasun.
Moreover, ironically, the one who could speak the loudest in the Korean magic society was Kim Chae-min. This was due to his bloodline as a third-generation great magician. It is safe to say that there is no magician in Korea who can ignore the multi-line rune that Kim Chae-min guarantees.
“I told you, Lee Rok can do whatever he wants?”
“… …What about your brother?”
“brother?”
“Sir, you said you were going to adopt my brother as your son too.”
“yes.”
“Then I have to give my brother some pocket money too.”
Finally, I couldn’t stand it any longer and intervened.
“My brother is past the age to receive allowance.”
“It’s better to take the money you can get. Why don’t you take it if they offer it to you?”
What’s the real problem? I thought I was raising him well.
School? Taekwondo? I remember hearing someone talking about how they became friends with middle school seniors at the Taekwondo academy… .
I tried to speak calmly, rubbing my fingers on the screen of my phone that I couldn’t even see.
“Didn’t the old man say he would give it to you?”
“Sir, you’re not going to give it to me?”
“Huh? Why don’t you give it to me? Of course I would.”
I glanced at Hong Seok-young. I thought he would be smiling at me again, but Hong Seok-young didn’t take his eyes off Woo I-rok.
Hong Seok-young reached out to Woo I-rok. His large hand gently stroked his head. His eyes looking at Woo I-rok were incredibly warm. It was the same expression my father used to make to me.
I think Wooirok also feels that completely… .
…not bad.
“Both Lee Rok and Hee Jae can do whatever they want.”
And that expression is directed at me as well.
“It seems like you’ve already done everything.”
“…Me?”
“Do more and go.”
Hong Seok-young smiled as usual, as if the warm expression he had just shown was an illusion.
But Wooirok’s face didn’t show any sign of relaxation.
“That’s fine. I’ll do what I want to do on my own. I don’t need your help with that.”
“okay?”
Hong Seok-young patted Woo I-rok’s head as if he was amazed.
“Whenever there’s something he doesn’t want to do, Brother Lee calls me. He asks me to do this, to do that. Lee shouldn’t grow up like that, right?”
That guy is real.
“That’s different from what you said, then.”
“hmm?”
“Doing whatever you want doesn’t mean you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do?”
“… Is that how it works?”
“Oh, stop touching my hair!”
Wooirok is angry, but if he listens to what he says, he is not Hong Seok-young.
In the end, Woo I-rok tried to shake off Hong Seok-young’s hand, but failed and groaned as he spoke.
“I don’t need that much, but per month… 100,000 won… no, 150,000 won… . 200,000 won is okay?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Seriously, what should I do?
There is a reason why the curse of raising a child who resembles me boasts history and tradition. Wooirok is not my son. Strictly speaking, it is a bit odd to call him my younger brother.
I put my phone down.
“Wooirok.”
Wooirok’s shoulders shook violently.
… Did the clothes get a little too small? As the year changed, Wooirok literally grew like a bean sprout. Was that why my older sister was surprised every time she saw me? Back then, there was nothing I didn’t like hearing, like “You’ve grown a lot.”
I need to go buy some clothes again.
“Oh, why! You’re the one who said you’d give it to me!”
“Why are you haggling there?”
“Can’t I do it?”
“… Was the allowance your brother gave you not enough?”
I’ve never once spent all my allowance.
Well, is there anything you want?
“That’s not it… .”
Wooirok hesitated without answering.
“Then? Don’t say that you won’t refuse money that is offered.”
“… … .”
Wooirok looked at me. He was checking whether he could pass over it without answering or not.
It’s obvious what he’s thinking. I can see it clearly because I’ve done it all before.
Realizing that I wouldn’t let him go, Wooirok gave up and opened his mouth.
“If I use a card, my brother will know where I used it.”
“… … .”
“We need another source of funding.”
“… … .”
I let out a sigh. I ignored Hong Seok-young, who was laughing so hard he seemed to be out of breath.
“Irock-ah.”
“huh.”
“It’s time for you to learn the truth of the world.”
“uh?”
“I gave you some money on a card just to see where you were spending it.”
“… … !”
