Matans Shooter 587

Thats why Hwajung loves this car the most. Didnt you notice that she started searching for the car when she heard you were going shopping?

Surprisingly. Ram Hwajung-ssi likes simplicity- Leeha closed her mouth before she could finish saying likes simple things. On second thought, there wasnt a single time when Hwajung was simple; she just expressed her opinions less frequently.

Oh well. Maybe I just didnt know.

At this level of affluence, simplicity might be an unparalleled luxury.

Do you have anything to recommend, Ram Hwayeon-ssi? I wonder what your mother likes. This is the hardest part.

If youre looking for something safe, maybe a muffler or some clothes. Or maybe a bag? Shoes? Nevertheless, shes been away from home for over a month. It might be nice to buy her something nice.

Well, thats true. But I dont know her taste very well.

Even though Hwajung was careful with her spending, she must have different clothes depending on the season. Leeha was cursing at herself for not even remembering that much.

Or how about tea? Youre preparing a restaurant, arent you?

Oh, its not exactly a restaurant, more like an eatery-

Tie Guan Yin is quite good.

Thats right, thats right. Among oolong teas, Tie Guan Yin is the best. Preparing something like that might make her happy, right?

At the suggestion of Ram Hwajung, Ram Hwayeon clapped her hands.

There was certainly a point to her suggestion. Leeha was also aware of her mothers character. She would prefer a more practical gift rather than luxury clothing or accessories.

That sounds good. Tie Guan Yin? Is that a good one? I thought all teas were the same.

Indeed! Its good. Theres a shop here. If you want to buy a good one, it would have to be around 30 years old or maybe even 50 years old for a restaurant opening ceremony.

What? 50-year-old?

Tea leaves. Oolong tea can be aged for a long time. The complex yet firm flavor is unparalleled-

No need to explain, I can guess the price.

Does tea also follow the same age-rating as wine? Knowing roughly how much wine costs, Leeha could immediately shake his head. Her mother may like practical gifts, but if you spent that much money on something to eat, she might get scolded instead.

Its not that expensive. For 1kg-

Your definition of not expensive and mine are quite different But Im curious. How much is it?

For a 50-year-old um 250,000 HKD?

250,000 Hong Kong dollars in our money is-

Leeha hastily finished calculating. And then asked again.

Not that expensive?

Its worth that much.

Is it

The tea leaves of the Tie Guan Yin, worth 35 million won in Korean money, and thats for only 1kg. And youre supposed to brew this tea and serve it at a restaurant?

She wasnt sure how many cups that would last, but even if her mother sold thousands of dishes of pork and kimchi stew, she might barely make a profit.

Should I find it amazing, or frightening? When it comes to these things, its like dealing with an unknown entity.

Leeha thought she might never fully understand the Lamb family.

Whats more, if the place they were going to was full of shops selling such items could he even find the gift he wanted there?

Oh, I shouldnt have asked! After talking with Ram Hwayeon, my head has become even more confused.

Its okay, oppa.

Huh? Whats okay, Ram Hwajung-ssi?

Ive bought it. The gift.

Watching Ram Hwajung bashfully laughing and holding a platinum card, Leeha was at a loss for words.

But he didnt have the luxury of speaking anyway.

The real shopping had started, and it took an astounding 5 hours 45 minutes to cover major shopping spots in Hong Kong including Canton Road.

Still, he was too busy chasing after her, who coolly shouted Next and hopped onto the limousine.

Even Kijung, the specialist in tanking, and Bobae, the former 10th-ranked, current 11th-ranked archery Olympian, struggled with Ram Hwajungs shopping tour, and Leeha got to fully experience it as well.I think I understand why Ram Hwajung-ssi likes this car. Public transportation is not an option.

Right? I feel drained whenever I use it.

Ram Hwayeon frowned, massaging her legs.

How many people could sleep in it? The question lingered as the limousines interior was filled with shopping bags.

The trunk was crammed full by the time they left the second shopping mall. Now, after passing the sixth mall, it was only natural that the shopping bags had taken over the vehicles interior. Shopping with Ram Hwajung was almost a mystery itself.

Leehas nodding motion momentarily stops.

A glass tribe monster? It was a species that at least, Leeha hadnt encountered in his journey so far.

Whats a glass tribe monster?

Monsters that use a lot of sparkling things.

They use a lot of sparkling things? Like a golem with a glass exterior, or something like that?

Ram Hwajung shook her head.

It was quite the task having a smooth conversation with Ram Hwajung, who often cut off sentences into single syllables. Lm Hwayeon, thankfully, had returned to her original expression.

She also knew about it.

The place where Hwajung currently resides in the new continent has an area made of ice. She also learned her new Ice Magician skills there as well.

Ah! The Ice Age?

Right. The paleos in that area use ice, just like glass. Unless its melted by a fire, it doesnt melt under sunlight either. I think they called it Ice Freeze Ostrich? Anyway, it seems there are monster tribes that bother the paleos. Hwajung cleared them out and earned the skill in return.

Several guild members of Ram Hwajung had been assisting with leveling up Ram Hwajung.

This was done for the use of the Mana Injector and the resulting report, but Ram Hwayeon didnt miss the minuscule details within that report.

Handles glass Ostrich Leeha thought deeply.

Maybe this held a high possibility of providing a clue.

Even though its not glass but ice, if it doesnt melt unless fire is applied? Isnt that enough to shape and use as glass?

That also means they possess technology. In other words, they might be able to create a lens with a magnifying effect.

Lm Hwayeon had a mysterious smile on her face, watching Leehas deep concentration. Her face seemed to suggest that she had figured out what Leeha was thinking.

If youre interested, Ill let you know the location.

As expected, Ram Hwayeon-ssi! You got it exactly right!

You dont need to react like an old man.

Uh, okay? Right.

Once Leehas secret plan was exposed in no time, he awkwardly scratched his head.

What might Ram Hwayeon have thought about Leeha, who still managed to think about Middle Earth even while shopping for a mothers gift? At least, her expression didnt look disapproving.

She already had a small necklace in her hand.

How about this as a gift for Mom? Its a safe choice.

Ah.

A necklace with what looked like three interconnected rings.

While extremely simple in design, the fact that three rings were intertwined was enough to symbolize a family.

Isnt it good?

Uh, yes. Thank you.

Leeha accepted the necklace from Ram Hwayeon. Despite looking around all day, there hadnt been a more fitting gift.

Go ahead and pay quickly. Hwajung seems to have finished shopping as well.

Despite her grumbling, Lm Hwayeon was busy taking care of things. Leeha didnt know what to say to express his gratitude.

Fortunately, Leeha wasnt completely oblivious.

This was an invaluable opportunity for him, as one of the two always had to stick around him.

Excuse me.

Leeha whispered with his card extended. Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajung were already outside heading towards the next store.

Yes?

Hehe.

The clerk was taken aback by Leehas laughter.

The shopping spree that started in the morning ended at dinnertime.

Are you sure youre okay eating out in such a place?

Yep. The food at the hotel that Ram Hwayeon-ssi arranged was amazing But still, I prefer street food.

Hmm Oppa. Your taste.

Ram Hwajung followed behind Leeha with a displeased expression.

Perhaps for them, it was their first time eating in a restaurant where locals of Hong Kong ate. Leeha laughed with an inexplicable sense of joy.

Except for the few tumultuous days due to Ram Hwajungs kidnapping incident, Leeha who hadnt enjoyed a truly Hong Kong style day even once, found it to be an unforgettable experience.
