Episode 229

“Ahem. I hear you were quite the force in your younger days?”

“Yes, Nari.”

“What’s that? I heard that back in the old days, they used to chop firewood pretty well.”

“Where did you hear that?”

“… … I did it.”

Ji Yoon-cheol, a commoner, raised his hand next to Song Hyeong-bin.

When we were doing the camping content in , I remember chopping firewood and told Song Hyeong-bin about it.

“So, let’s chop some firewood first. You need a good fire to make good food, right?”

“… … Yes, Nari.”

“Um, um.”

As I nodded quietly, Song Hyeong-bin lay down in the living room and gestured with his hand.

“What are you doing? Why don’t you go and chop firewood? Where is the slave resting quietly?”

“… … Let me tell you to hurry up and get to work.”

“Uh, uh. No, it’s okay. If you don’t listen, then whatever.”

Song Hyeong-bin thought deeply for a moment and then smiled.

“Just starve them!”

“… … .”

A slave is a person who must absolutely obey all orders.

I held back a sigh and trudged off to find the axe.

Looks like I’m going to be working hard all day today.

This kind of future had been envisioned ever since my status as a slave was confirmed.

A life of being exploited to the fullest by someone.

But I didn’t know that I would be chopping firewood and sweating from the very beginning.

“Hey, Charis? The axe is getting a little slower? This, this, I bought it because it was said to have good stamina, but it doesn’t feel good at all. Hey, Chae! What’s wrong with this guy?”

“I’ll speak clearly, Nari! Please calm down a little!”

“At this rate, I’m going to starve to death before the rice cake soup is even finished. Oh my.”

I never thought the members would be this faithful to their roles.

In particular, Song Hyeong-bin acted as the highest authority in this house in a very clever tone.

He lies down on the large desk and orders all the work to be done by people of lower status than him.

‘How long do I have to keep chopping firewood!’

The wood-chopping skills shown in have not rusted yet.

I chopped the firewood at a fast pace, but for some reason, Song Hyeong-bin ordered me not to stop chopping the firewood.

As it turned out, it was Yu Min-ha, who had been peacefully observing the yard next to him, who had asked for more because he found my wood-chopping fun.

“Wow, strength is really a great skill. He beats people up really well. It’s fun to watch!”

“If you like it, should I continue?”

“Please order a little more! We need to make tteokguk soon.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

You fucking idiots.

I frowned and swung my axe.

I will definitely turn this situation around someday.

I can’t just hang around at the bottom of the food chain like this for the rest of this content.

If this continues, the Crown Prince might wake up shivering in anger.

But soon enough, the wood chopping was over.

While I was wiping the sweat off, it was time for my partner to be exploited.

“Hey, Mr. Ji and Mr. Heo. Take this swarthy friend here and light a fire. You know that once you start a fire, you have to keep it lit so that it doesn’t go out, right? If you don’t have a fire, you can’t make rice cake soup today, so do a good job. If you don’t light it properly, then.”

Song Hyeong-bin put pressure on Ji Yun-cheol and Heo Yu-bin, who were commoners.

“Be careful, you too could end up like that guy writhing on the ground over there.”

“Yay, Nari!”

“… …I will do my best.”

So the three members stood in front of the stove and started to make a fire with the firewood I had chopped.

“I think it would be more convenient if we used a torch here.”

“… … But even if it looks like it’s on fire, you have to keep fanning it until the end.”

“Hmm… … . Should I keep fanning myself with this cardboard?”

Heo Yu-bin held a large piece of cardboard and thought for a moment before entrusting Kang Si-yoon with a special mission.

“Did you hear what I said, Nari? You have to light the fire well. Hold this and keep fanning it, okay?”

“Yes? Me, me alone?”

“Then you have to do it yourself, or should we do it?”

When Kang Si-yoon made a face that seemed aggrieved, Heo Yu-bin opened his eyes wide and said something that sounded like something out of a drama.

“I am a commoner and you are a slave. Where are you trying to climb up from?”

“Oh, that’s not it… … . It was my fault.”

“Then we’ll light the fire and you do the rest, okay?”

“Oh my, thank you! Thank you!”

Kang Si-yoon also nodded his head, putting in a cunning tone like a eunuch.

I glanced over to where my manager and the in-house content writers were sitting.

Everyone was watching us with very excited eyes.

‘I didn’t know you would be so faithful to your role-playing.’

The planning department is probably thinking something like this.

No matter what format you give it, these members bring it to life amazingly.

Ji Yoon-cheol and Heo Yu-bin used the torch provided by the production team to light a fire inside the stove.

The dry firewood began to crackle, and Kang Si-yoon, seeing this, shook the cardboard up and down vigorously like a fan.

“Yes, with strength! You are doing very well!”

“… … .”

“Gasp, gasp!”

Ji Yoon-cheol stared blankly at Kang Si-yoon, who had already started to sweat.

I was wondering if the youngest would send some kind of message of encouragement.

“The wind shouldn’t blow to one side. It should come to the center and do it.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

“… … What are you doing instead of doing it properly?”

Rather, it was Ji Yoon-cheol who gave a sharp rebuke and then stepped back.

He has really grown a lot. Now he can do palm tree time easily and even stand up to his older brothers in situational dramas.

Because Ji Yoon-cheol was the youngest and usually followed his older brothers very well, these unexpected lines hit him even harder.

“I will work hard so as not to be persecuted!”

“… … There is no second time.”

At this point, Ji Yoon-cheol might be enjoying it too.

As I walked over to Kang Si-yoon and wiped the sweat off his forehead, he whispered to me.

“Hey, even Yoon-cheol is like this, so I feel like crying!”

“Me too.”

“I don’t really have to work like this all day and be bullied, do I?”

“That’s why you must collect coins.”

Slaves also have a chance to turn things around.

In the games that follow, you can get coins, spin the random roulette, and change your status, and everything will be resolved.

‘No matter what happens, I will definitely win every game.’

Kang Si-yoon seemed to sense that I was making up my mind next to him.

He nodded vigorously and held out his fist to me.

“Let’s definitely step on those unlucky kids and move up. Okay?”

“I told you before, I don’t trust you.”

“Still? Hey, at times like these, we need to stick together, even if we’re just fellow slaves!”

“You are always at risk of betrayal, so you can’t do that.”

I decided early on.

Even if we are of the same status, you shouldn’t trust Kang Si-yoon.

If only I could escape from slavery, I would 100% be able to exploit you even more.

So, rather than joining forces with Kang Si-yoon, it would be better to overcome this situation on my own.

Now that the fire-making process is more or less complete, it is time to prepare the tteokguk ingredients.

When it comes to tteokguk, what you definitely need is delicious garaetteok.

“Here are the ingredients you need, Nari.”

“Oh, I see. Rice cakes, sesame seeds, seaweed powder, and green onions.”

“Then, if you add this anchovy and kelp broth pack and boil it vigorously, the broth is complete.”

First, pour a lot of water into a pot, add the broth pack, and boil.

While the broth was being prepared, we cut the rice cakes and green onions that the production team had prepared.

Of course, this was also the task of the lowly ones.

“Nari, they say this slave was quite skilled with a sword in his old days.”

“Really? Then let’s take a look at that splendid craftsmanship.”

“Ahaha, this is really burdensome.”

I thought I had escaped from the stove, but returning to Kang Si-yoon was something else.

However, Song Hyeong-bin and Yoo Min-ha, perhaps because of their conscience, began to help directly from the middle.

“Even in these cases, you have to take the lead so that your subordinates will follow. I will help you.”

“I’ll help too!”

Before long, a real banquet scene was created.

As we all sat together on the table and prepared the ingredients, it felt like a slightly cozy atmosphere.

After I finished washing the leeks, I went to check on the stove to see if the broth was boiling well.

At that time, I was putting a few more pieces of firewood into the stove.

“Hey, do you want some garaetteok?”

“……yes?”

Yumin Ha crouched down next to me, her skirt fluttering.

Then he quickly handed me a freshly cut piece of rice cake.

I was silent for a moment.

Yu Min-ha is currently the wife of a nobleman. She is the second highest ranking person in this household.

Why would a person like that give me, a slave, rice cakes out of nowhere…?

I didn’t understand English at all, but the thought crossed my mind that I had to make good use of this painting.

“……lady.”

“Uh, uh, why is that?”

I looked at Yumin Ha with the most pitiful eyes possible.

“Madam, why are you giving me the rice cake?”

When I called Yu Min-ha ‘Madam’, Yu Min-ha became very agitated. She almost burst out laughing, but she managed to catch her breath.

“Dolsoe- no, Charis. I’m giving it to you because you worked so hard. Don’t refuse and eat it.”

“Then I will eat it with gratitude.”

For a moment, an unintended skit unfolded.

But the laughter was short-lived.

Yumin whispered to me while giving me some garaetteok.

“Charis, would you like to start a revolution with me?”

“Revolution… What do you mean?”

“We’ll get some coins from the game later. How about we work together to turn this house upside down?”

It’s a proposal for an alliance.

However, Yuminha is already a second-class citizen. Even if she were to seek a chance to rise in social status, the only position she could aim for was that of a nobleman.

“I’m satisfied with where I am now, so I was wondering if you, Charis, could collect some coins and spin the roulette. Don’t you think it would be fun?”

“… … Do you want me to become a nobleman?”

“If you can do it? But I think it would be good to just go up as a commoner. I think it would be fun if you could just go up above Siyoon!”

I smiled broadly.

It seems like the goddess of luck has come to me.

Yumin decided to help me rather than supporting Kang Siyoon, a fellow slave.

The opportunity to collect more coins, faster, has come to me.

“I’ll give you all the coins I won from the game. Then, can we spin the roulette right away?”

“Is that really okay, ma’am?”

“As long as I’m having fun, I’m fine with anything!”

And so the secret deal with Garaetteok ended.

Meanwhile, the preparation of tteokguk was going smoothly.

When I dropped the garaetteok and various ingredients into the boiling broth, a pretty presentable visual started to emerge.

“Phew, at least I won’t skip lunch today.”

“It smells delicious, Nari!”

“Everyone worked hard.”

Just then, Manager Hyung explained about the first game that was about to start.

“It seems like everyone is doing well right now.”

“yes?”

“What is it?”

“I think you are using our language correctly and beautifully.”

Manager Hyung smiled and announced the beginning of a game that would be very difficult for people of this generation.

“I hope you can keep up that momentum. All future games will be Hunminjeongeum games.”
