Chapter 49: Bank Account (2/2)

Michu nodded and looked around, ”I think they don't like us already.”

”They wouldn't like us anyway. You will understand after you ask a few questions, Michu! The whole community can use black magic, but we can't! So what?” Roland pulled his sleeves, then waved at the closest bank guy! This guy's face distorted in irritation, then all bank officials exchanged glances.

The lady stood up and invited both Michu and Roland to a room, ”Our new addition will take care of you.” Her lips kept shivering, making her look awkward. She also wanted to just slap this loud villager, but how could she?

Ronald smiled brightly at her, grasped her hand for a handshake, ”Thank you very much!” But this handshake was as if he looked down on her desire to slap him! Adding his smile, it felt as if he really knew about her heart's wish.

”Now, now! We got a special room for ourselves. All other clients were forced to speak through windows, but we are here to speak with the new addition! I wonder who it might be? Haha!” Roland opened the doors leading to the office, then blinked a few times, ”City guy?”

”I thought I was hearing things, but it is really you... Close the doors!” City guy, the guy whose bickering rivaled Roland was sitting behind the desk!

He threw annoyed eyes at Roland, then smiled at Michu, ”I never expected to meet you here, Michu. Don't follow this guy or the whole city will hate you.”

”Hehe! We got a special room for ourselves, though! But I still think Mr. Roland was too rude!” But Michu also felt relieved that there was someone to help him. Roland's brave entrance cleansed Michu's heart out of nervousness.

City guy, called Mark, exhaled loudly then nodded, ”I guess it's a blessing in disguise... Whatever, don't look at me like that. Let's start with you. What's your problem, dear client?” City guy smiled widely at Roland, but this smile was like a taunt that could send red waves! Roland scoffed and took out his phone.

It was brick, not the phone, ”You can find my password here. Tell me how much money I have in my bank account!”

Mark felt like he returned to the stone era by looking at his brick, ”I am sorry? That's your problem?” His disbelief was clear.

Roland waved his hand, ”You can get this info with black magic, but I don't have it! Anyway, I won't use my savings from socks for a present. I must know exactly how much I have because my daughter's birthday is coming!”

”Maybe invest in a better phone, get an app and check your bank account from the house?!” Mark spat out all his thoughts, then snatched the brick from the table, ”God... My father used to have such a phone when I was a kid!” Clicking buttons felt like a chore already, but Mark had to dig out through all this old technology and find passwords!

”Invest in a better phone? You fool saw how expensive this shit is?” Roland coughed as he just cussed next to Michu, ”I don't mind coming here! No one can stop me!” He smugly smiled and nearly got his face beaten by his own brick.

Mark held himself back and passed enough information to him, ”Buy a phone for your daughter, then. Kids these days learn fast and she will be the one to help you.”

”As if! What if she somehow used my money through black magic to buy toys for herself? No! Do you have kids?”

”Yes, and I have a phone, not a brick,” Mark replied.

”Hah! At this age, you are either monk or a parent, I guess.” Roland yet again smugly smiled, then won this small spar with the city guy. He was in a better position here, but in the game world, Mark swore to battle him on the same foothold.

Mark then shifted his eyes to Michu, ”First time here. I can tell just by looking at you... So...”

”Uh, there are my passwords and information,” Michu took out the paper with the phone number, his email, and all the stuff. He also held his ID tightly and waited for Mark to call it. His sister said that ID was very important and no one should see this information! Of course, the bank guy was fine as it was necessary for the bank account.

”What nice handwriting. This makes things easier,” Mark commented, then threw a glare at Roland who burst out laughing.

The whole process was smooth and Michu could even learn some of the black magic by peeking at the screen.

”That's it. It took some time, but your bank account got officially opened. As for your debit card, just wait for it to arrive.” Mark said, then shook Michu's hand, ”And happy birthday. It's too early, but I don't think we will meet again so soon. I left some present on your account already,”

”Hey, hey! Don't use black magic to your advantage,” Roland stood up and passed some money to Michu as well, ”Happy Birthday!”

”Uh... Um... T-thanks...” Michu looked down, avoiding eye contact as he just got too overwhelmed by the sudden wishes. He always had his mom and sister saying these words and while the latter would always happily cheer, Michu's mom often hid the pain that even on such occasions she wouldn't be able to provide a proper meal and even a present. All of this made birthdays not so significant, but Michu felt pure happiness at this very moment.

”Haha!” He suddenly laughed out loud, ”Thank you for the presents! It's nice to get presents! I will also prepare something for you guys! I hope so!”

”It's nothing much, really.” Seeing this happy young man, both adults smiled wryly. Their smiles were similar, so Roland quickly changed into a smug smile and taunted Mark back! Both of them ended up giving more money to Michu as the former's present turned out to be less valuable.

This day, Nana and Michu went shopping and surprised their mother later on. All of them went to sleep while full and warm.
