Chapter 883 – 883. Dreams of the Past (5)
“… Can’t we just find a reasonably decent house?”
“Huh. No.”
Eleanor was adamant.
She was Erin who wanted to rest in moderation, but among Eun-hyeon’s wives, Eleanor was the one holding her economic power, so she couldn’t refute it any longer.
Among Eunhyeon’s wives and Juhong, Illyana, who had the most power, did not interfere much with Eleanor.
Rather, she didn’t come out of the room, as if she was quite happy with the long-term stay at a well-equipped motel, and she left all her decisions to Eleanor.
“Do whatever you like. I need to get some rest.”
Since she was originally Illyana who didn’t like walking around in crowded places, her other wives actually foresaw this situation.
Eleanor, who naturally had the authority to decide all her activities, traveled to Korea with her meticulous research.
“… It’s too expensive.”
Eleanor involuntarily let out her sigh.
She said that the price of a house in Korea was much higher than she expected.
“Originally, Seoul is expensive. Even on the Arkena continent, weren’t the prices of houses in Pernine or the Duchy of Armitas more expensive than in other places?”
“… Even so, it wasn’t that expensive.”
Compared to other provinces, it was not nearly 3 to 5 times as low as 10 to 20 times as large.
What on earth is so expensive?
‘It wouldn’t be price formation without a reason.’
She must have had some reason, but Eleanor, who still didn’t understand all of the civilization in Korea, couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
“Still, Illyana-sama and we are all going to live for a while, so we should look for a better place.”
She wasn’t simply looking for a good home for her self-satisfaction.
It is spacious and tidy, but most of the cheap houses are in banjihara or poorly located.
So, from Eleanor’s point of view, she preferred well-located, spacious, and tidy houses, but most apartments and houses were too expensive, even considering that.
I was just frowning at the sky-high house prices in Seoul.
“But we can’t stay in a motel forever, can we?”
“It’s not like that. Ha.”
Staying at a motel for a long time was too expensive and felt like a loss, so the desire to sign a house contract as soon as possible was like a chimney, so I couldn’t help but sigh.
In the end, I was able to sign a contract with a detached house of a fairly decent size while looking at a suitable compromise.
“Hongah. What is the charter?”
Erin tilted her head at the first word she heard as she signed the contract for the house.
“That…”
She knew it in her head, but she hesitated because she couldn’t put it into words.
“Jeonse is a method of depositing a certain amount of money with the owner of a property and borrowing the property for a certain period of time.”
For some reason, Eleanor, who had just begun to learn about Korean society, was explaining in more detail.
“Ah~. Is it different from monthly rent?”
“Yes.”
In the continent, the concept of renting a room by paying money on a fixed day every month was unified, so Erin looked curious at the new method.
In this way, Eun-hyeon’s wives and Ju-hong were able to move into a spacious private house.
“Come on, Miss Eleanor.”
“Huh. Why?”
Juhong glanced at her and spoke to Eleanor.
“I have a question. Why did you rent a house?”
In fact, he might stay in this dream for how long, but Ju-hong wondered if it would have been less costly to find a room with monthly rent.
“Hmm, I think it will take a while.”
“How long?”
“Huh. Because Illyana-sama is interested. Neither do we. It’s where that person lived. I want to learn and experience as many things as possible.”
Other wives felt the same way.
The world Eunhyun lived in.
They wanted to know all the things he saw, heard, felt, and experienced here that they didn’t know.
“It’s like meeting that person, and it’s like adapting to this place called Earth. I’m looking at at least four or five years, a really long time.”
Of course, three years was not enough time to figure out everything here, but I thought it would take that much when I roughly estimated it.
Eleanor had no intention of leaving this world of dreams within a few months.
Finding Eun-hyeon in this vast place called Seoul is not as easy as finding a needle in the desert, and even if she finds Eun-hyeon, she hopes that the time she wants to spend with him will be long.
“Uh, but didn’t the charter contract only last for two years?”
Ju-hong tilted his head and asked.
“Huh. In two years, I’m going out and looking for a new house.”
“Uh… Are you going to sell all the remaining jewels?”
Eleanor had yet to sell an out-of-print copy of the jewel she had brought into her dream together.
She heard that it was in case of an emergency she didn’t know about, but was she thinking of selling it all?
“No. I’m not selling it, I really intend to keep it for emergencies.”
“Then how will you get the money?”
“You have to earn it.”
“… Yes?”
“Whoops.”
Eleanor let out a laugh.
For some reason, it was strangely reluctant that that smile was darker and darker than usual.
“You think I’m going to give up here? I still have some money left after signing the contract. I plan to study it for a while.”
Study.
When Zhu Hong heard that word, he had to tremble involuntarily.
It was a word he really hated.
However, the ‘study’ that Eleanor was talking about was not simply a certificate or report card that students work hard for a long time to get a job.
Truly true to the meaning of the word, Eleanor wanted to learn all about her about this place called ‘Earth’.
Political policies and economic structures, including the composition of a civilized society called Korea.
And she was thinking of finding a way to profit from figuring it out and making money.
All it took was capital and time.
Fortunately for Eleanor, she had it.
“Yeah, that’s right…”
Ju-Hong was quite surprised by her sincerity and sincerity.
Realizing that she was a person of a completely different dimension, not a field that she could understand, she stopped thinking about it anymore.
It was just a small nod of her head.
“Then I will go now.”
“I see. Thanks for your help.”
“Oh, no. It was no big deal.”
“Still.”
Eleanor thanked Ju-hong.
It is impossible to know what kind of situation they will face when they are treated as smugglers after wandering here and there without even making a resident registration card.
Perhaps, if it had not been for Ju-hong, Eun-hyeon’s wives would have been lost for a long time.
Perhaps because he felt pure gratitude and goodwill, Ju-hong nodded his head with a wry smile.
“Yes. Then I’ll just go.”
“Huh. I don’t know if I’ll be of any help here, but if you ever need our help, let me know.”
“Thank you. In that case, I will be sure to contact you.”
Ju-hong left the house where Eun-hyeon’s wives lived.
◆ ◆ ◆
Eun-hyeon’s wives each started to try their hand at the field that drew their interest.
Even after signing the contract for the house, there was still a little bit of the money from selling half of the jewels he had brought with him in the dream.
Illyana was interested in ‘knowledge’ in the field of science on Earth.
The concept of magic itself did not exist on Earth.
You cannot change the terrain with your own power, and you cannot create wind, fire, or water.
When she first encountered the common sense of this place, she thought that Illyana was a world in which she could not help being uncomfortable.
But there were also some interesting parts.
Individuals in Korea were very poor and could not do anything, but Korea’s civilized society was more advanced than that of the Arcena continent.
She was interested in a very ironic phenomenon, and Illyana found the reason.
Relatively developed scientific progress in a world where the concept of magic does not exist.
If you think about it, the artifacts and tools that Eunhyeon made on the Arcena continent were all very many that incorporated the concept of ‘science’ on this earth.
Since she was Illyana, who had accepted Eun-hyeon’s idea and developed the artifacts with him, it was only natural that she was interested in her.
“It’s fun.”
Illyana smiled and indulged in her knowledge of the field of science.
Of course, it was impossible for her to understand all major fields such as physics, chemistry, and engineering because she had no knowledge of these fields of science, but what she paid attention to was the understanding of the concept itself.
She did not particularly want to acquire an understanding and knowledge as superior as those of the college students who had studied for over ten years.
She was sure that if she could understand even a little bit of it and make it her own, it would be to her great advantage.
“Madams. How would you like dinner tonight?”
“I want to eat meat.”
“Huh. Me too.”
“Then, shall we have braised short ribs for dinner tonight?”
“Please. I will listen to one more lecture.”
Eleanor, who was listening to an online lecture on the computer in her room, responded with a smile.
Eleanor began her law studies with her online lectures.
There was nothing more effective than looking at the law to see and study the various things that make up Korean society.
The fastest way to understand a civilized society is to look into the various problems or issues that arise in that society.
A lawyer who mediates and argues by acting as a representative of the plaintiff at the center of the conflict and dispute.
The job that Eleanor paid attention to was ‘lawyer’.
“Yes. All right.”
Lily smiled and left Iliana and Eleanor’s room, each studying hard, and headed to the kitchen.
She was studying various things about cooking here.
Sometimes she could find clues to the dishes Eunhyeon made or told her about, and it was quite fun to taste them or reproduce the taste.
In the end, as Illyana, Eleanor, and Erin ate deliciously, Lily’s mood improved as well.
I studied a lot about the cuisine of the earth, and I looked forward to the day when I would show off my cooking to Eun-hyeon and be praised.
By the time the short ribs were all cooked down and finished, Lily glanced at her watch to estimate the time.
“Suddenly, the time has come for Erin to come…”

“Hey! Mr. Kim! Are you okay with your back injury!?”
A worker welcomed Mr. Kim, who had recently been unable to come out of the construction site due to a back injury.
“Um, Mr. Wang? I’m fine. No. More than that.”
She waved her hand to the worker who greeted her, gave a brief hello, and glanced around her.
“Why?”
“That… There was a lady I didn’t know.”
“Ah, that girl? Did you see it too? She’s a new girl.”
“What?”
At Mr. Wang’s casual reply, Mr. Kim couldn’t help but show a bewildered reaction.
Construction workers on construction boards, which are often referred to as 3D jobs but are difficult, dirty, and dangerous, were also one of the job groups that most people avoid.
“At first glance, she seems to be a pretty lady in her early twenties, but she does manual labor like this?”
It was natural for him to show a curious reaction.
“It’s okay, it was like that at first.”
Mr. Wang sympathized with Mr. Kim, saying that it was natural for Mr. Kim to react with embarrassment while giggling.
“But, well. That’s not it. That girl! This job is my calling!”
“… What?”
Mr. Kim asked back as if he couldn’t understand Mr. Wang’s attitude, making a fuss.
As if Ms. Wang was bragging about her daughter’s prowess, she humorously recounted her account of the new arrival.
“No. Well, do you know how strong it is? Carrying two bags of cement on each shoulder and going up the stairs casually?”
“… Is that possible?”
Usually, even people with strong bones in this field tend to sprain their backs while carrying a bag, but in their early twenties, it is normal for a woman to casually carry and carry four bags.
Just hearing the description reminds me of a muscular man who was bigger than them, but she was a woman with blue hair that came to Kim’s mind.
The impression heard and the impression that comes to mind do not match.
“Besides, it’s not just strength! He has great stamina too! Doesn’t get tired like some kind of battery!? That lady took 60 airlifts this month alone!”
Airlift refers to the number of units that construction workers work per day.
1 airlift per day without overtime.
If you eat dinner and add an additional 2 hours, you get 1.5 airlift.
If you add an additional 2 hours, you get 2 airlifts.
There may be differences for each construction site, but most sites were like that.
In other words, the story of achieving 60 airlifts this month meant that I went to work every day and worked 2 airlifts every day for 30 days.
“… Are you a person?”
Are people really right?
I reacted like I was crazy.
“So, it’s crazy. That lady is real! Nogada genius!”
“No. Why does such a young lady do manual labor in a place like this? I don’t understand…”
“I heard that you came to Korea to find a loving husband?”
“…”
What he was talking about, Kim couldn’t understand a thing.
