“Hm? It got a bit chilly?”
Is it because of the rain?
Having exited the Tower, Sejun looked up at the sky filled with dark clouds and spoke. Rain was falling steadily.
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, shall make sure you don’t get wet, meow!”
Using his talent, Theo created a waterproof canopy that covered the area around Sejun.
Thanks to that, Sejun and his companions clinging to his body did not get wet,
Theo rubbed his face against Sejun’s lap and resumed charging on his knees.
So despite the rain, Sejun moved toward the Kindergarten of Destruction while remaining perfectly dry.
“Hm?”
The road is flooded?
In front of Sejun appeared a road flooded up to knee height. With the current level of rain, it shouldn’t be this flooded, so it must have rained heavily earlier.
“Cuengi, can you move this water into Dad’s Void Storage?”
Clunk.
Sejun spoke while opening an empty room in the Void Storage.
Lately, his dad had been smiling brightly thanks to getting a new car, so if the car got flooded, he would be depressed.
This road was the one used by Sejun’s father, Park Chun-ho, on his way home from work.
Kueng?
[Dad, can’t I just evaporate it?]
Cuengi asked in response to Sejun’s request.
“Cuengi, where does water go when it evaporates?”
Kueng?
[Doesn’t it just disappear?]
“Nope. It rises to the sky and forms clouds like those over there. And what falls from those clouds?”
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi knows! Rain falls!]
“Right. That’s why evaporating it is pointless. Got it?”
Besides, Sejun also doubted whether Cuengi could properly control his firepower, but he didn’t bring that up.
Because it would hurt Cuengi’s confidence.
Kueng!
[Cuengi understands!]
Cuengi nodded and used telekinesis to move the water pooled on the road,
“Iona…”
Sejun also made a request to Iona.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes. Power of purification…”
Responding to Sejun’s request, Iona simultaneously used purification and freezing magic in front of the room where the water was entering,
Thump. Thump.
Rectangular ice blocks made from the purified water began stacking neatly from the corners of the room.
Thanks to that, Sejun secured a lot of ice.
I should play ice sculpting with the kids later.
A good playtime idea came to mind.
After removing the water from the flooded road,
“Guys, we’re here!”
Upon arriving at the Kindergarten of Destruction.
[You have safely brought the [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction] who were left behind in <Hellis> to the Kindergarten of Destruction.]
[As a quest completion reward, the capacity of [Brilliant Darkness Earrings] has increased by 5%.]
[As a quest completion reward, evolution experience of <Earth (Lv. 4)> has increased by 3%.]
A quest completion message appeared.
[Sejun-nim, since <Earth (Lv. 4)> is currently undergoing evolution, the 3% evolution experience will be recalculated and you will receive 1.5% of experience according to <Earth (Lv. 5)> once the evolution is complete.]
“Got it.”
Though the evolution experience got halved due to Earth leveling up, Sejun didn’t care at all. The amount remained the same; only the percentage changed.
While confirming the messages,
“Sejun!”
“Daddy~!”
Aileen and Taecho came running.
And then
Swoosh.
The two jumped into Sejun’s arms.
“Daddy, I missed you~!”
Taecho was always allowed to hug him, but Aileen…
Ah. She’s wearing the earrings.
She had used the [Brilliant Darkness Earrings] and was in a weakened state.
“Hehehe.”
Sejun tightly hugged the two in his arms and enjoyed a happy moment. For a whole 25 minutes.
Thanks to the significantly increased capacity of the [Brilliant Darkness Earrings].
However.
“Keugh!”
Even with the increased capacity, it always ended with Sejun fainting. He knew when to let go,
But he wanted to let go only at the very end.
Greed always leads to trouble.
And so, Sejun fainted.
“Sigh. He fainted again. Recovery.”
“Puhuhut. That’s what makes him the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of healing…”
Kueng!
[But Dad’s gotten tougher, so he’s less injured than before!]
(Pip-pip. That’s right! Sejun-nim is getting stronger too!)
Now used to Sejun’s fainting, the party chatted leisurely while treating him,
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Even so, the butler is still weaker than great Blackie! Guys, let’s step on him!]
“Yes!”
Kkiruk!
Sharalang
Caw!
…
..
.
The Blackie Family also happily stomped on Sejun’s face as part of the treatment.
“Patient Park Sejun, where does it hurt? Hm? Your face hurts? Don’t worry! The condition is serious, but Taecho will treat you!”
The youngest, Taecho, used a toy stethoscope from who knows where to play doctor on the unconscious Sejun.
And then.
“Captain Taecho, preparing for surgery!”
Before anyone knew it, Tongtongi, Taecho’s subordinate No. 1, stood beside her and handed over a toy scalpel.
“Alright. Taecho will perform the operation.”
With a solemn expression, Taecho drew the toy scalpel across Sejun’s belly. Several red marks appeared on Sejun’s stomach.
Thus, the day ended peacefully.
The night deepened, the raindrops grew heavier, and Earth reached Level 5.
***
The next morning.
“Alright.”
I feel completely refreshed!
Having received treatment from the group and feeling healthier than before, Sejun got up energetically.
By the way, the marks on Sejun’s belly made by Taecho with the toy scalpel had been cleanly healed by the group’s treatment.
Swaaah.
“The rain’s still going.”
Sejun opened his mouth while listening to the cheerful sound of rain outside.
The air felt a little humid because of the rain, but maybe because he was in good condition, it didn’t bother him at all.
Maybe I’ll eat a simple breakfast and take the kids for a stroll around the neighborhood?
He got excited thinking about things that could only be done on rainy days.
He had already prepared raincoats and boots for a day like this, and with the rain, there would be fewer people out and about. It was the perfect weather to go out with the kids.
And for lunch…
Hehehe. On rainy days, it’s all about Mom’s pancakes.
I’ll eat at my parents’ place.
Today’s plan came together in an instant.
“Hehehe.”
[Mom, I’m coming over for lunch, so please make pancakes.]
After sending a message to Kim Mi-ran,
“Meow….”
[Hehe…]
Kueng…
Kking…
“Dad….”
Theo, Iona, Flamie, Cuengi, the Blackie Family, and Taecho, Sejun gathered them all and stepped out of the room.
Since there were so many companions, he had to carry them all around on his body, but since it was the norm, Sejun didn’t feel any discomfort at all.
“Hm-hmm-hmm.”
Humming a tune, Sejun made his way to the kitchen.
“Good morning.”
Pobi, who had spent the whole night watching Poruru on his smartphone, greeted Sejun. How many times was he rewatching it…
“Good morning. Pobi, if you stare at your smartphone that long, your eyesight will get worse.”
Sejun nagged at Pobi, but
“It’s fine. I’m a great dragon, so my eyes won’t get worse.”
The rebuttal was so reasonable, there was nothing to say.
“…….”
Lucky bastard.
Sejun looked at Pobi with envious eyes and walked into the kitchen.
And then.
“Shall we start cooking for today?! You handsome guy over there, please help with preparing the vegetables!”
He started cooking with the dragon fruit that looked like him.
While preparing breakfast.
Sniff sniff.
Kueng?
[Dad, what’s for breakfast today?]
Woken up by the delicious smell, Cuengi opened his eyes wide and asked.
“Hehehe. Try guessing.”
Sejun covered Cuengi’s eyes so he couldn’t see the food.
Sniff sniff.
Kueng! Kueng!
[It’s potato egg soup with salted shrimp! There’s green onion and soy sauce too!]
Using only his sense of smell, Cuengi deduced what Sejun had made.
As expected of Food Detective Cuengi. He even accurately guessed the ingredients.
“Oh. That’s right. My son’s sense of smell is really amazing.”
Kuehehehe.
Cuengi beamed with a wide smile at Sejun’s praise.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie can guess too!]
5.251.205.82
“Dad, Taecho too!”
Blackie and Taecho, who had woken up late, also stepped up hoping to receive Sejun’s praise.
“Nope. You guys heard it all.”
Sejun didn’t allow cheating.
At that moment.
“Sejun, are you feeling okay?”
Aileen entered the kitchen and asked in a soft voice. Though she knew his condition from treating him yesterday, she wanted to hear it from him directly.
“Yeah! I’m fine! I feel great!”
Sejun raised his voice slightly and replied a bit over-the-top.
“Heehee. That’s a relief.”
At Sejun’s response, Aileen smiled shyly and sat at the table.
And then.
Our Sejun is so cool.
Sejun stared intently at the food he was cooking, his eyes filled with love.
A moment later.
“Hehe… it smells delicious.”
“Teecher-nim! Nene is hungry.”
The kids who had woken up rushed into the kitchen all at once.
“Let’s eat.”
Mealtime began.
“Teacher Pobi, please help the kids with their meals and wash the dishes after. And since we have an outdoor field trip today, please also do the laundry and clean the kids’ rooms while they’re out.”
“Huh? Me alone?”
“Yes. Teacher Pobi, al-one.”
Sejun issued multiple instructions to Pobi.
These were necessary tasks, nothing to do with earlier events at all, at least, that’s what Sejun believed.
Puhuhut. As expected, great hybrid Chairman Park is petty, meow!
Kyoot kyoot kyoot. So this is what happens if you cross Sejun-nim.
Indeed, you must never mess with Dad!
Hehe. As expected, butler is petty! Great Blackie is so much more generous!
Of course, it’s Taecho’s dad! He pays back tenfold!
Everyone else knew. This was clear payback for earlier.
Huhu. Am I too cool?
Only Sejun desperately refused to admit his own pettiness.
After breakfast ended.
“Alright. Let’s go outside. Pick what you want to wear.”
Sejun spoke as he pulled out several animal-shaped raincoat and boot sets from the Void Storage. The animals included chicks, frogs, crocodiles, raccoons, and more.
“Dongdong wants the frog!”
“Shyongshyong wants the crocodile!”
“Mulmul wants the raccoon!”
The kids each chose the raincoat and boots they liked.
Hehehe. Totally worth having a famous designer make them.
Seeing the kids happy made Sejun smile in satisfaction.
“Sotteok wants the chick!”
“No way! YamYam is the chick!”
Of course, some kids fought over wanting to wear the same raincoat.
“You guys don’t know chickens are stronger than chicks?”
“Then Sotteok is the chicken!”
Sejun handled the dispute smoothly, and everyone ended up wearing the animal raincoat they wanted.
“Our Taecho picked a dinosaur?”
“Yeah! Taecho is strong! Raaawr! Daddy, if you’re scared, hide behind Taecho!”
Taecho said seriously,
Ugh. As expected of my daughter.
And moved Sejun deeply.
Meanwhile.
“Meow… This is uncomfortable, meow!”
Theo grumbled, wearing a white hamster raincoat.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Theo-nim, you look adorable!”
“Puhuhut. Then I’ll endure it, meow!”
Iona, dressed in a yellow cat raincoat, praised and comforted Theo.
The raincoats weren’t just for the kids, Sejun and the rest of the group had theirs too.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi became Blackie!]
Cuengi wore a black dog raincoat resembling Blackie.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Since great Blackie became Cuengi hyung, now Cuengi hyung has to call great Blackie hyung!]
Blackie, wearing a bear raincoat that looked like Cuengi, tried to start a rebellion.
Kueng?!
[Blackie, you want to say that again?!]
Kking…! Kking!
[It… it was a joke! Butler! Help me!]
As Cuengi pulled out his Thunderbolt Staff, Blackie instantly whimpered and hid behind Sejun.
Just then.
“Sejun, how do I look?”
Aileen, wearing a black dragon raincoat, stood in front of Sejun and asked. The black fabric with gold embroidery depicted a dragon and looked truly beautiful and luxurious.
“Aileen, you look really pretty.”
“Hehehe. Really?”
“Yeah!”
Hehehe. It’s a couple raincoat!
After complimenting Aileen, Sejun quickly put on the same raincoat.
Hmm…
Did the designer not care as much about mine?
Sejun tilted his head as he looked in the mirror. Though they wore the same raincoat, the result felt different.
Of course, the designer had actually put several dozen times more care into Sejun’s raincoat, imagining him standing beside Aileen, but this wasn’t something clothes alone could fix.
Not that Sejun looked strange in the raincoat.
“Sejun, you look so cool!”
Aileen’s admiring words proved otherwise.
“Hehehe. Really?”
Sejun grinned goofily at Aileen’s praise.
“Guys, let’s go out!”
Leading the kids and the group, Sejun stepped outside.
Swaaaah.
In the meantime, the rain began to pour even harder.
