However, as soon as I entered, something else caught my eye first.
Behind the seat where Moon Jong-hyuk sat,
There was a huge bow on the wall like a medal.
It was his famous epic equipment, [Storm Bow].
‘The force is no joke….’
As expected of a Holder called the top among archers in Korea, even his equipment felt grandeur and vigor.
While I was admiring for a moment,
Moon Ga-eun first greeted Moon Jong-hyuk.
“Dad. We’re here.”
Her voice regained its unique bright energy,
It seemed that she had escaped from her panicked state earlier.
I also bowed to Moon Jong-hyuk following Moon Ga-eun.
“Hello, Holder Moon Jong-hyuk. It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Do Jae-hyun, a C-grade Holder currently studying at Seoul Holder Academy.”
“I’ve heard a lot about you. The meal is almost ready, so sit down first. Ga-eun, you sit down too.”
Moon Jong-hyuk’s voice, which I met for the first time, was quite friendly,
Especially after his gaze touched our hands holding each other, It turned into an extremely satisfied look.
…Did we score points?
He actively encouraged his daughter’s dating, and indeed the atmosphere was softer.
“Meals are left to our head chef here. It will be Italian course food, so if you can’t eat or feel uncomfortable, let me know.”
“No. I also enjoy Italian food.”
“Dad. It’s uncomfortable just coming here. It’s not like we’re having a meeting or anything. Why would you want to see my boyfriend?”
Moon Ga-eun sat down and ticked off.
By the way, this is also planned.
After talking a lot using her father’s friendship.
Pulling the conversation partner as much as possible to herself.
To reduce conversation with me so that my mistakes don’t come out, our special strategy.
Moon Ga-eun definitely seemed less nervous than before and led the conversation more leisurely.
“Hmm. I’m just curious because he’s a fellow Holder and an academy student. Your dad might be able to help you.”
“Liar. You just didn’t believe me. When I said before that I would recruit Jae-hyun to <Royal>, you didn’t even listen.”
“Hmm hmm. The appetizer is coming out. Let’s eat first.”
Moon Jeong-hyuk coughed and turned around.
Quite a successful start for the first opening of the conversation.
I glanced at Moon Ga-eun and sent a ‘nice!’ look in my eyes, but Moon Ga-eun, who met my eyes, was somewhat surprised and avoided my gaze.
… Why are you like this?
“Let me help explain the cooking for a moment. Antipasti, the first step in this course. Antipasti is an appetizer that customers are familiar with… ”
The employee I had encountered earlier brought an appetizer dish and started explaining.
The appetizer for this course is a decent crostini.
Lightly toasted bread was topped with cheese, vegetables, and small chicken.
Crostini, with the right ingredients harmoniously placed, boasted a fresh look like a decent salad.
Normally, restaurants serve pre-dinner bread first, but this place served crostini as an appetizer and seemed to skip the pre-dinner bread step.
‘I’ll have to try this too.’
These days, whenever I go to a restaurant, I think of this.
Is this some kind of job plague?
Maybe it was because of Kim Chae-eun, who asked for more and more diverse menus after tasting my [cooking].
While I was distracted by the look of the Crostini for a moment, the staff member left after explaining.
And Moon Jeong-hyeok started talking again.
“So. Do Jae-hyun, like I said.”
“Yes Sir.”
“Ever since Ga-eun said she was dating you, I personally had a lot of questions. After all, he’s my daughter’s first boyfriend, haha.”
“Dad… !!”
Moon Ga-eun shouted at the sudden confession of fatherhood.
It’s a face that seems to be saying why it’s useless.
I was a little taken aback, but shook my head.
‘… That’s why it was like that.’
Only then did Moon Ga-eun’s ‘100 Day Physical Affection Theory’ come to my understanding.
It could have been enough without dating experience and knowledge.
Aside from that, it is surprising that Moon Ga-eun is a grown woman.
With that face and body, she has never experienced dating…
In particular, since she has a calm personality and gets along well with people, the fact that she is now in a relationship for the first time came to me all the more fresh.
‘… No It’s a fake relationship right now.’
It seems that she is too immersed in her role.
I shook my head for a moment and came to my senses.
Moon Jong-hyuk did not care about Moon Ga-eun’s reaction and continued.
“I’m impatient, so I’m trying to ask the most curious thing… Will that be ok by you?”
What the hell is he going to ask?
I was a little nervous, but nodded.
“Feel free to ask. It is also an infinite honor for me to have a conversation with Holder Moon Jong-hyuk, Ga-eun’s father and the founder of <Royal>.”
“Haha. This boy, you flatter me.”
It may sound flattering, but it’s not wrong.
Moon Jong-hyuk is one of the high-ranking Holders who are known for their excellent skills among A-grade Holders.
If I had to give it a new grade, it would be an A+ grade.
There were countless dungeons and monsters that had been conquered so far, and there were many achievements that engraved their names in the long history of the Holder world.
To be precise, among the five S-grade Holders in Korea, there is not a single archer type.
In other words, the best archer in Korea is Moon Jong-hyuk.
These were the facts that told us that he was able to take his place as an official of <Royal>’s founding merit, not just because he was Hwang Kun-wook’s brother-in-law.
Moon Jong-hyuk smiled happily and spoke again.
“Hmmmm. What else… ”
He halted the knife he was cutting crostini with, and looked at me in a strange way.
“Tell me. If you were to get married, at what age would you like to do that?”
“Phew, Phew-”
“Dad… !!”
I can hear a tick in the water I was drinking.
Moon Ga-eun, who was next to me, shouted again.
… Did I hear him wrong?
I guess I’ll have to correct my assessment.
Before, I thought he would definitely be able to communicate better than Kang Woo-hyun… Moon Jong-hyuk was a formidable opponent in many ways, never falling behind.
