Chapter 29: Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! (29) / 753 |

After the performance ended and some time had passed,
“Dad, Taecho is hungry!”
“Teecher-nim, YamYam is hungry too!”
“Rangrang too!”
The children started whining that they were hungry.
“Alright. I’ll make dinner quickly, so just wait a little.”
Sejun hurried into the kitchen to cook.
“What?! Why doesn’t it work?! Do you want to be impeached?!”
Sejun, of course, took out the system access device and threatened [System Eok-Samchiri].
However, it said that this was a decision by the main system and couldn’t be changed even by its own power. Apparently, sincerity needed to be put into cooking?
So, Sejun had no choice but to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner himself, and the day flew by in the blink of an eye.
A little while later.
After the children finished their dinner,
[Nutritionist Park Sejun of the Kindergarten of Destruction has fed 16 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction] until they were full.]…
..
[As a reward for feeding them fully, <Earth (Lv. 3)>’s evolution experience has increased by 0.016%.]
A reward message appeared.
It would be nice if this marked the end of today’s work, but
“Dad, let’s play doctor with Taecho!”
“Then Teecher-nim will be the patient!”
He had to play with them until bedtime. Still, since he’d be playing the patient, it seemed like his body could rest.
“I’m Doctor Mingming. Patient, lie here!”
“Okay!”
At Mingming’s instruction to lie down, Sejun quickly lay down. He had to listen well to what the doctor said.
As Sejun lay down,
“Patient, does it hurt here?”
“It must hurt a lot.”
The children pressed Sejun’s face with toy stethoscopes and made their diagnoses.
“Kids, you’re supposed to put the stethoscope on the belly, not the face.”
Sejun taught the children, but
“Patient Teecher-nim! Listen to Doctor!”
“Patient’s condition is serious!”
“This can’t be fixed with medicine! We’re going straight to surgery!”
The children ignored Sejun’s words and immersed themselves in their doctor roles.
Fine. Do whatever you want.
Sejun gave up on everything and entrusted his body to the kids.
“Puhuhut. Don’t even think about approaching Chairman Park’s knee, meow!”
Theo told the kids approaching Sejun’s knee with the stethoscope.
However,
“Gomgom is a doctor right now!”
“That’s right! Dongdong is a doctor too! Doctors can touch the patient!”
The children resisted, thinking their roles were more important.
“Haak!”
“Waaah~!”
Theo showed those children the harsh reality.
And then
Kueng!
[This is Cuengi’s spot!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. This is the great Blackie’s spot!]
“Then this is Taecho’s spot!”
“Huh?! Then this is Pangpang’s spot!”
“Mulmul too!”
The doctor play suddenly turned into a battle over Sejun as Cuengi and Blackie joined in,
“Kids?”
Sejun was surrounded by his companions and the children.
“Ggh!”
I can’t move…
The children were using their strength to keep their spots, making it impossible for him to move even slightly.
Fortunately, the children soon fell asleep, their breathing soft and calm, and
[Teacher Park Sejun of Kindergarten of Destruction has played with 16 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction] until they were tired.]…
..
.
[Teacher Park Sejun of Kindergarten of Destruction has sent 16 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction] to dreamland.]
…
..
.
Sejun obtained two rewards simultaneously.
Should I sleep like this tonight?
He tried to quietly end the busy day, but then
[A quest has occurred.][Quest: Please find and bring the two [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction] left behind in <Ken> to the Kindergarten of Destruction.]
Reward: Increases the stored capacity of [Brilliant Darkness Earrings] by 8%, <Earth Lv. 3> Evolution Experience 8%
A quest message appeared before Sejun.
What?!
Not wanting to wake the kids, Sejun quietly burned with anger.
Not anger from being made to work again, but…
Why is the reward only 8 percent for rescuing two?!
Because the reward was stingy.
Normally, when rescuing one [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction], the reward was 5%, but since he was bringing back one more while at it, they had applied a discount.
“…Eok-Samchiri, do you want to be impeached?”
Sejun growled low and called [System Eok-Samchiri].
[Sejun-nim, this is a misunderstanding! It absolutely wasn’t intentional, the main system calculated it automatically!][I’ll correct it right away!]
[The quest reward has been updated.]
At Sejun’s words, the reward immediately changed to 10%.
If two of them are running wild, it could be dangerous.
Sejun decided to move immediately and carefully removed the children from his body one by one. Since they had fallen asleep, the strength they were using to cling to him had loosened, so Sejun could easily remove them using his own strength.
After removing the children, Sejun gathered his companions.
“Aileen, I’m going to pick up some new students. There are two this time.”
“Okay. You’re working hard raising Earth’s level. Be careful out there.”
“Yeah! I’ll be back!”
Sejun said bye to Aileen and turned to leave.
“Huh?”
Is he taking Taecho with him this time?
Aileen noticed Taecho clinging to Sejun’s back, waving at her as he left the kindergarten.
(Pip-pip oppa, am I doing well?)
(Pip-pip. Youngest, you’re doing great!)
(Hehe. Taecho is good at everything, just like Dad.)
Taecho was learning stealth and ultrasonic communication from Paespaes.
“But did I take Taecho off earlier?”
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park is a fool, meow!”
“What?! Why am I a fool?!”
“Puhuhut. You’re stupid because you’re looking for Taecho, meow!”
“Ah. You meant I’m a fool for my daughter?”
“Meow?!”
While chatting with Theo, Sejun headed for the Black Tower, completely unaware that Taecho was hanging on his back.
***
55th floor of the Black Tower.
Ppyak!
[Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Uncle Bochi, Aunt Lara. I’ll be going now!]
With a small hammer on his waist and a backpack on his back, Black Torch was saying farewell to his family before setting off on training.
Today was the day Black Torch was leaving to begin training to become the legendary Black Rabbit.
And
“Just trust us!”
“We’ll take good care of Black Torch hyung!”
Standing on either side of Black Torch were Shak, the eldest son of the Sickle Rabbit family, and Fatty, the youngest of the Cart Rabbit family, both were his classmates from farming school.
Shak’s gear, consisting of a backpack and a sickle, was similar to Black Torch’s.
Dudung.
But Fatty’s gear was enormous. He had a one-wheeled cart larger than his own body filled with all kinds of cooking tools, and he carried a large backpack as well.
Ppyak!
[Son, call Dad anytime! I’ll come whenever you call me!]
Son, take me with you too!
Heuk Wol-bok looked at his son Black Torch with earnest eyes and pleaded for a chance to help.
Kkyuk!
[Nephew, since King Heuk Wol-bok is so~ busy, call your uncle first!]
Bochi couldn’t stand to lose and stepped in.
Ppyak?! Ppyak!
[Bochi-nim, what are you saying?! I’m not busy!]
Kkyuk!
[If you’re not busy, then I’ll make you busy!]
Ppyak! Ppyak!
[This isn’t fun! Bochi and Lara will be working from home for the next week!]
Kkyuk?! Kkyuk!!!
[What?! This is cruel!!!]
Lara’s eyes sparkled at the words “work from home”, while Bochi trembled in fear.
As the two argued,
Ppaek.
[Goodbye.]
Black Torch departed.
And then
ChuChu!
[King Heuk Wol-bok will also be working from home with me for a week.]
Ppyak?!
Heuk Wol-bok was forced into working from home by ChuChu. In the Red Ribbon Kingdom, the queen’s power was stronger than the king’s.
Ppyak~!
Kkyuk~!
The screams of Heuk Wol-bok and Bochi, who were caught while trying to flee, echoed through White Castle, the royal palace of the Red Ribbon Kingdom, but
Ppiik
[Looks like His Majesty and the guard captain got caught running away again.]
For the rabbits working in the palace, this kind of commotion was a daily occurrence, so no one paid any attention.
***
[You have arrived in the Level 3 world <Ken>.]“Since there are two of them, let’s split up to search. Theo, search this way, and Iona, check that direction.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes.”
Theo and Iona moved in opposite directions and began searching for the children, and Sejun also began searching in his own way.
That method was…
“Hmm.”
It should be a dish that spreads its smell far, right?
It was luring them with food.
“Grilling spreads the scent further, so…”
Snap.
Sejun snapped his fingers to light a fire and took out ingredients for grilling.
He began grilling fish and peanuts for Theo and Iona when they returned from searching, along with slime meat, rice cakes, corn, foil-wrapped potatoes and sweet potatoes. As the food cooked, delicious smells began to spread all around.
Kuehehehe.
Kihihit.
Cuengi and Blackie, settled beside Sejun, happily grilled their own rice cakes and sweet potatoes.
Just then.
Drip. Drip.
A few drops of water fell on Sejun’s shoulder.
“What?”
Is it raining?
As Sejun reached to wipe the water from his shoulder and looked up, the sky was nothing but clear blue.
Soft.
Instead, his hand touched something soft, warm, and comforting.
“Huh?”
What is this?
When Sejun turned his head toward his shoulder,
“Hehehe. I got caught.”
Taecho, whose cheek had been grabbed, looked at Sejun with her tongue slightly out and smiled bashfully. It was her drool, while staring at the food, that had fallen on Sejun’s shoulder.
“Park Taecho?”
“Yep! I’m Daddy’s daughter Park Taecho!”
“It’s not like I didn’t know that… No, more importantly, how did you end up here?”
Sejun asked with a stern face.
“Ta… Taecho just wanted to follow Daddy… Did Taecho do something bad…?”
Taecho looked up nervously and asked in a subdued voice.
“Of course it was wrong. If you leave without telling Mom, she’ll get worried.”
“Mom knows that Taecho followed Daddy….”
“Huh? Mom knows?”
“Yep! I said goodbye to Mom before I came out.”
“Really?”
“Heheheh.”
As Sejun’s expression relaxed slightly, Taecho smiled.
Taecho was unbearably cute, but still.
“Ahem. Even so, you can’t sneak off like this. If you follow secretly again, I’ll scold you. Got it?”
He warned her with the sternest face he could manage.
“Yes! I won’t do it again!”
“Here. Want to eat this?”
“Yes!”
Sejun placed a handful of freshly roasted peanuts in Taecho’s tiny hand as she answered brightly.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Youngest, come eat the rice cake Cuengi oppa grilled over here!]
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Youngest! Come eat the extremely delicious roasted sweet potatoes grilled by your great Blackie oppa! It’s really tasty!]
Cuengi and Blackie also looked after Taecho.
“Okay!”
Taecho sat between Cuengi and Blackie, eating peanuts, grilled rice cake, and sweet potatoes as they fed her, her mouth constantly busy.
At that moment.
Thump. Thump.
A huge child cautiously crawled in from a distance.
“Huhuhu. Got one.”
Sejun grinned as he saw the child.
Then.
Hehehe. Can you resist this?
104.28.193.250
He lured the child with an even more delicious scent. He skewered sausage and rice cake on sticks, brushed them with sauce, and began grilling them.
Rumble.
The smell of sausage-ricecake skewers drove the child into a frenzy as it crawled quickly toward him.
“Want to eat this?”
Nod. Nod.
The child fell instantly for the grilled sausage-ricecake skewers.
“Your name is now Sotteok.” (TL Note: Sotteok means Sausage-ricecake)
The child who had tried to bring destruction to <Ken> received the name Sotteok and decided to follow Sejun.
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park, I brought one of them, meow! Did I do good, meow?!”
“Yeah. You did well.”
“Puhuhut. I already knew that, meow! What are you doing, meow? Hurry and greet our Chairman Park, meow!”
“Sob. H-hello… sob… S-sehyoo.”
The child who sniffled and sobbed after getting smacked on the back of the head by Theo was named Huljeok. (TL Note: Huljeok means Sobber)
Thus, the enrollment of two children, Sotteok and Huljeok, in Kindergarten of Destruction was confirmed.
