Chapter 47: Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction!(47) / 771 |

After finishing his meal, Sejun lay on the mat, supporting his head with his right arm and looked up at the blue sky.
That cloud looks like the grilled fish our Theo likes.
Oh? That one looks like our Flamie.
Hehehe. That one looks like Blackie hiding only his head, thinking he won’t get caught, happily wagging his tail.
Leisurely watching the drifting, pure white clouds.
His remaining left arm served as a pillow for Aileen. When else would he get the chance? He couldn’t even touch her normally.
However, there was a slightly difficult part. Not because his arm was numb.
It tickles.
Every time Aileen’s soft breathing brushed against his ear, Sejun felt strange. So he stared at the clouds, trying hard to distract himself with random thoughts.
‘Hehehe. The book said if you pretend to sleep like this, the other person secretly kisses you.’
Completely unaware of Aileen’s thoughts.
Gororong.
Kyurorong.
Theo and Iona were napping peacefully on Sejun’s lap as usual.
[Hehe.]
Flamie sat beside Sejun’s head, lightly holding Sejun’s right ring finger with a leaf, eyes closed, fully absorbing the sunlight and Sejun’s radiant aura.
Thanks to her, the sun that was shining down on Sejun and the group had weakened significantly.
Kkurorong.
Cuengi had burrowed between Sejun and Aileen’s waists, pushing his face and body in, and was asleep.
Baerorong.
Paespaes was tightly stuck to Sejun’s right side, taking a nap.
Kkirorong.
Eomrorong.
Kkirurung.
…
..
5.251.205.82
.
The Blackie Family lay sprawled out across Sejun’s chest.
Kerrrr.
Taecho was lying crosswise on Sejun’s belly, head buried into Cuengi’s belly as she slept. As expected of Sejun’s daughter, even her snoring sounded just like him.
Krrh. This is nice~
This is what happiness is.
Sejun leisurely enjoyed his happiness.
Kerrrr.
And quietly drifted off to sleep, and Aileen, who had been pretending to sleep, also dozed off soon after.
While Sejun and his companions were enjoying their peaceful vacation,
“Waaah! I want to go home~!”
“This isn’t right!”
“I don’t like it!”
“Children, calm down.”
Brachio Iorg, the leader of the Great Green Dragons, was breaking into a cold sweat because of the Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction.
At first, YamYam and Nene had quietly followed Brachio around, calmly touring the domain of the Great Green Dragon.
But after eating the packed lunch Sejun had prepared,
“It’s nap time now! YamYam wants to sleep!”
“Nene too!”
They became a little cranky.
So Brachio tried to let the children nap just as they wanted,
“Alright. Then let’s go take a nap, NyamNyam and Nene.”
She accidentally called ‘YamYam’ by the name ‘NyamNyam’.
“YamYam’s name isn’t NyamNyam, it’s YamYam!”
That pressed the anger button of YamYam, who had become extremely irritable due to sleepiness.
“YamYam is angry!”
An angry YamYam.
Stomp! Stomp!
She stomped her feet powerfully in place, expressing her anger.
“Nene is angry too!”
Stomp! Stomp!
Nene also followed YamYam’s lead and stomped angrily.
Getting the name wrong wasn’t a big enough offense to justify such fury, but the problem was giving them an excuse to get angry.
YamYam, explosion ready!
Just try me!
I’ll blow up immediately!
The children were in a state where they were ready to explode at any moment, and Brachio had mistakenly triggered their mood with the wrong name.
It was like slapping someone who already wanted to cry.
Thanks to that, the children got angry with justification.
Stomp! Stomp!
Stomp! Stomp!
As the two Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction carried out their stomping rage,
Crack.
Even the Great Green Dragon’s territory, which had withstood its power firmly, began to crack.
No! At this rate, the domain of the Great Green Dragon will be destroyed!
Due to the children’s rampage, the domain of the Great Green Dragon was about to fall. They were not called the Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction for nothing.
Moreover, if the cracks in the Great Green Dragon’s territory grew worse, the Green Tower connected to it wouldn’t escape unharmed either.
These kids are more than I can handle!
Feeling the danger, Brachio quickly sent the two Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
-Huh?!
“It’s YamYam and Nene!”
“Dongdong!”
There were already 21 other Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction brought by different leaders at that place. All had failed in taking care of the children.
For reference, Ajax, who had spent a long time with the Sejun Family, was capable of handling the kids, but
“Sejun hyung, I miss you….”
he had come down with separation sickness and was bedridden.
“Kids, be good. If you wait just a little longer, Teacher Sejun will come pick you up. But if you cry, Teacher Sejun might not take you.”
“Really?! That can’t happen….”
“Nangnang cried… then can’t Nangnang go home?”
“I’ll keep it a secret that you cried until now. So from now on, no crying. Okay?”
“Yes~!”
Fortunately, thanks to Pobi, who had learned a bit about how to handle kids at the Kindergarten of Destruction, they were able to buy some time.
-Drahaha. That’s my Pobi for you!
Tier, unable to resist, bragged about his grandson.
“Sigh.”
I was counting on the grandpas…
Watching such Tier, Pobi let out a deep sigh.
At the same time, he also felt proud that he could do what even his grandfather couldn’t. And so, Pobi had grown a little.

‘My vacation!’
Sejun’s eyes snapped open at the thought that his vacation time was shrinking.
As Sejun got up,
“Mm. Sejun, you’re awake?”
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, did you sleep well, meow?”
Aileen and the others also stretched and woke up.
But how long did they sleep?
Just as Sejun was about to check the time,
Grrrrgle.
An alarm went off simultaneously from Cuengi and Taecho’s bellies.
Before they knew it, it had become dinnertime.
They had only napped after lunch, but the entire afternoon had flown by and it was now time for dinner.
Hehehe. This is what a vacation should be.
Feeling a sense of satisfaction for having a proper vacation, Sejun began to prepare dinner.
For a vacation vibe, he made whole-roasted slime barbecue using a gold slime.
Kueng?
[Dad, is this good enough?]
“Yeah. You have to manage the heat well, got it?”
Kueng!
[Cuengi can do it well!]
As Cuengi confidently answered and grilled the slime with flames, Sejun grilled some fish for Theo and roasted peanuts for Iona.
And then,
Kkihihit. Kking?!
[Hehe. Butler! What about great Blackie’s portion?!]
As always, Blackie hovered around Sejun, asserting his presence.
“Hehe. Dad, what about Taecho’s portion?!”
Today, Taecho also joined Blackie in asserting her presence.
“Here it is. Eat this and wait quietly.”
Sejun put an extremely delicious roasted and dried sweet potato strip into each of their mouths and went back to cooking.
“Hehe. Blackie oppa, did Taecho do well?”
Kkihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Youngest! You did great!]
The two of them smiled proudly and ate the extremely delicious sweet potato snacks with delight.
A little while later.
“Ah. That was delicious.”
After dinner,
Slurp.
Sejun and his group drank coffee to aid digestion.
In the meantime, the sun set and the sky grew dark.
That should do it.
“Guys, let’s ride that next.”
Sejun, who had been waiting for the darkness, pointed to the Ferris wheel.
“Okay!”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”
[Hehet. Yes!]
Kueng!
(Paespaes. I like it!)
Kking!
“Yes!”
Fortunately, everyone gave an okay.
But there was one person who responded to Sejun’s suggestion with suspiciously high enthusiasm, it was Iona.
Iona, fighting!
Sejun-nim too, fighting!
As if they had something prearranged, Iona and Sejun exchanged glances and cheered each other on.
When they arrived in front of the Ferris wheel,
“Guys, because of the weight limit, only two can ride at a time. So Theo and Iona, Flamie and Cuengi, Paespaes and Taecho….”
Sejun paired everyone into twos for the ride.
Though none of them weighed that much, it was a flimsy excuse meant to pair up Theo and Iona.
Of course, that excuse also served to let Sejun be alone with Aileen.
“Meow?! No way, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will ride with the great hybrid Chairman Park!”
As expected, Theo threw a tantrum, insisting on riding with Sejun.
“No.”
How hard was it to create this chance?
Vice Chairman Theo, you’ll thank me later.
Sejun, with a firm voice, pulled Theo away and exchanged another look with Iona.
And then,
“Meow… Chairman Park said he didn’t want to ride with me… I’ve been abandoned, meow….”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Theo-nim, it’s because of the weight limit. Sejun-nim didn’t abandon you.”
“Puhuhut. Is that so, meow?”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes. So hurry and get on.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! Then I have to ride quickly and go to Chairman Park, meow!”
Iona comforted Theo, who was (supposedly) abandoned by Sejun, and got him onto the Ferris wheel.
“Alright, depart!”
The Ferris wheel began to move slowly.
“Next, Flamie and Cuengi.”
[Hehe. Yes.]
Kueng!
Sejun boarded the group onto the ride in pairs one by one.
“Aileen, let’s get on too.”
“Okay!”
Sejun was the last to board with Aileen.
Creak.
The Ferris wheel moved at an endlessly slow, boring pace.
But
Gulp.
Gulp.
Sejun and Aileen, swallowing dryly in silence, were far from bored. The cabin was filled with tension.
However, the type of tension Sejun and Aileen felt was slightly different.
Sejun was…
‘Alright. When my cabin reaches the top, the Ferris wheel will stop and the fireworks will begin. Then, as the fireworks burst, I’ll gaze into Aileen’s eyes, set the mood, and take out the ring…’
He was running simulations in his head to make sure his planned event would go off without a hitch.
Aileen was…
‘…What’s this? He didn’t kiss me earlier, and now too, even with the great black dragon Aileen Pritani right in front of him, he’s doing nothing?!’
She was on the verge of exploding from built-up frustration and indignation.
Time continued to pass.
As expected, waiting doesn’t suit the great black dragon Aileen Pritani!
Finally, her patience ran dry. Throwing off her demure act, Aileen made the first move.
Aileen brought her lips to Sejun’s.
Smooch.
“Huh?!”
Sejun, stunned by Aileen’s soft and sweet lips suddenly covering his own, froze in place.
After a few seconds that felt like an eternity,
Thunk.
The Ferris wheel stopped.
Whoooosh.
A large firework shot into the sky, trailing a long tail.
Then,
Pop!
The big firework exploded, scattering smaller ones across the night sky in a dazzling display.
Thanks to it, Sejun came to his senses, pulled Aileen into a tight hug, and this time, it was Sejun who pressed his lips onto Aileen’s. Both of their eyes gently closed.
Meanwhile,
Pop! Pop!
Fireworks shot up and burst one after another, just like their hearts.
Swoosh.
They pulled away, gazing deeply into each other’s eyes.
Alright. Now the ring…
Sejun carefully reached into his pocket.
Inside was a ring he had begged from [System Eok-Samchiri], made specially for today.
He and Aileen already had couple rings, but this one was a promise for a future together, forever.
Yes. Sejun was planning to propose to Aileen today.
Gulp.
Swallowing hard, Sejun began to pull the ring out when.
“Meow! Great hybrid Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?!”
Theo was clinging to the Ferris wheel window, shouting.
As soon as the Ferris wheel stopped and fireworks began outside, Theo rushed over in worry for Sejun.
Several strands of white fur clung to Theo’s cheeks, and Iona stood behind, face flushed and covering her face with her hands.
[Sejun-nim, are you alright?!]
Kueng!
[Dad, are you okay?!]
(Paespaes. Sejun-nim, are you alright?!)
“Dad, you okay?!”
The rest of the group also hurriedly flew over to Sejun’s cabin and asked after his well-being.
Kking?! Kkihihit. Kking!
[Butler! You okay?! Hehe. Now that great Blackie is here, you can relax!]
Shalala!
Caw!
Ppyak!
Mumu!
Blackie too, carried by his subordinates, flew to Sejun’s cabin and barked gallantly.
Actually, this is fine.
I’ll propose while everyone blesses us!
As Plan A failed, Sejun immediately switched to Plan B.
But it seemed the world had no intention of helping Sejun.
Creak.
Suddenly, the Ferris wheel’s pillar bent like taffy and began to collapse. It couldn’t handle the weight of the group.
Huh?
Based on the group’s total weight, there’s no way it should’ve tilted, but
“Hehe. Did Taecho overeat today?”
Taecho still didn’t know how to control her weight.
Rumble.
The Ferris wheel collapsed completely, but
Pop!
Pop!
Thanks to Cuengi’s telekinesis, Sejun and the group remained suspended in the same place and were able to enjoy the fireworks at their leisure.
Ugh. The mood’s completely ruined.
Guess I’ll have to try for next time.
Sejun, disappointed, fiddled with the ring still in his pocket.
Pop! Pop!
As the fireworks continued, the first night of Sejun and his companions’ vacation came to an end.
