When Sejun returned after seeing off the Children of Creation and entered the Kindergarten of Destruction,
“Where did the hyungs go?!”
“Dongdong hyung! He’s gone!”
The Destruction kids were looking for the Creation kids.
“Your hyungs went to school. If we wait just five nights, we can see them, so let’s wait a little.”
“Five nights is too far away…”
“Yes!”
Sejun skillfully comforted the children.
“Hueing… Bongbong hyung…”
Of course, there was also a child who burst into tears because Sejun’s comforting didn’t work. And if this was left alone, the crying would spread like an epidemic and everyone would start crying.
Hahaha. In times like this, you mustn’t panic or hesitate like an amateur.
Because I’m a pro.
“Oh! What’s this?!”
Sejun pulled out something he had prepared beforehand.
It was a plan to divert the child’s attention to stop the crying.
“Hu… eh? Teecher-nim, what’s that?!”
“Oh?! Teecher-nim, what is this? Is it a person?!”
Fortunately, Sejun’s plan worked, and the kids curiously looked at the pumpkin mask made from a pumpkin.
“Hehehe. You wear it like this.”
“Meow?!”
Sejun put the pumpkin mask on Theo’s head. The pumpkin was too small for him to wear it himself.
He could wear it if he used Crop Gigantification, but he didn’t want to do that now. It would get dirty if he used it.
That Theo brat, he scolded me earlier for having eye gunk.
Hehehe. This is revenge.
Sejun’s pettiness in not forgetting even small grudges and taking petty revenge.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. As expected, butler is petty! Great Blackie is generous though!]
Watching that, Blackie laughed at Sejun as much as he wanted.
Jingle! Jingle!
[Of course! The most generous in the universe is Great Blackie!]
Kkobangi shook his bell hard as he flattered him.
Meanwhile,
“Wow! Theo Teecher-nim, so cool!”
“I want one too!”
“Sotteok wants a mask too!”
“Baba!”
“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, also know that I look cool, meow!”
Wearing the pumpkin mask, Theo was receiving praise from the children.
Kking!
[Big hyung! Great Blackie wants that too!]
“Puhuhut. No way, meow! The great hybrid Chairman Park gave it to me, meow!”
Kking!
[Butler, Great Blackie wants one too!]
Blackie began pestering Sejun and Theo to give him a pumpkin mask.
“Who wants this? Raise your hand!”
Sejun didn’t miss the opportunity.
“Hands!!!”
At Sejun’s words, the children raised both hands high.
Kking!
[Butler! Great Blackie raised his paw too!]
Blackie also raised his front paw as high as he could, even though it wouldn’t go up well.
Before they knew it, the faces of the children and Blackie were filled only with the desire to get a pumpkin mask.
Hehehe. Good. This week passed safely again.
“Then let’s have breakfast and go make pumpkin masks.”
Sejun laughed inwardly as he headed to the kitchen.
A little later.
10th Tower, 4th Floor.
“Okay. Now plant one pumpkin each here in order. Got it?”
“Yes!”
Sejun had the Destruction kids plant their own pumpkins to make into pumpkin masks.
And then,
“Hahaha. I will grow the best pumpkin.”
“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, the right-hand man of the great hybrid Chairman Park, will grow the second-best pumpkin, meow!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi is a planting master! So the best pumpkin after Dad’s pumpkin will be Cuengi’s!]
“Hehe. Taecho will grow the biggest pumpkin!”
Sejun, Theo, Cuengi, and Taecho each planted a pumpkin.
Of course, there was one who wouldn’t listen.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Pumpkin tastes bad! Sweet potato is the best!]
“Hey! Park Blackie! I told you to plant a pumpkin!”
Kking!
[Run away!]
Blackie, who had finished planting his sweet potatoes, ran away hard with his short legs.
“Run away!”
Taecho, who had been diligently planting her pumpkin with tiny hands, also ran after Blackie.
Taecho… why you?
As Sejun looked at Taecho with a dumbfounded expression,
“Daddy, catch Taecho quickly!”
Taecho looked at Sejun with an earnest expression.
Ah. You want to play tag?
Okay. Got it.
“Hehehe. I’m it! Everyone run away!”
“Heeheehee. It’s tag!”
“Huljeok, let’s run!”
Thanks to that, the Destruction kids who had been planting pumpkins also got excited and scattered in all directions.
As Sejun chased after the kids and played tag for quite a while,
Grrr. Kking?! Kking!
[Grrrr. What is this?! Butler should be chasing Great Blackie!]
Blackie didn’t like it.
Kking! Kking!
So he barked at Sejun to reveal his location.
“Park Blackie, so you were there.”
Sejun gave a sly smile and ran to catch Blackie.
Kihihit.
As Sejun followed, Blackie joyfully ran away.
One minute, three minutes, five minutes… until it became thirty minutes.
And then,
Gasp… gasp… gasp…
Why hasn’t Great Blackie been caught yet?
On the verge of collapse, Blackie realized something was wrong.
No matter how well he ran, it shouldn’t have been possible to evade Sejun for this long.
“Hehehe. Park Blackie, did you get a good workout?”
Sejun approached the exhausted Blackie with a smile. He had been keeping just enough distance to not catch him on purpose, to give him some exercise.
At that moment,
Rumble.
The ground began to shake.
“Taecho succeeded! Daddy, Taecho grew the biggest pumpkin!”
Taecho, who had raised a pumpkin dimensional tree, called Sejun.
“Oh. Good job, Taecho.”
“Heehee.”
Pat. Pat.
While Sejun praised her by patting her on the butt,
Rumble.
Rumble.
The ground shook again. And this time, several times.
“Teecher-nim, the pumpkin I planted grew big too!”
“Teecher-nim, the pumpkin Pangpang planted grew big too!”
Among the pumpkins planted by the Destruction kids, World Trees had emerged.
“Teecher-nim, praise Jjokjjok too!”
“And Pangpang too!”
The Destruction kids who had grown World Tree pumpkins,
“Gomgom too!”
“Waaah!”
And those who hadn’t, all came rushing toward Sejun, sticking their butts out.
“Alright. Good job.”
Sejun praised them without discrimination, patting all their butts.
Then,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, did a lot of good things too, meow! Please praise me too, meow!”
Kueng!
Theo and Cuengi also stuck their butts out to Sejun.
“Okay.”
Pat. Pat.
As Sejun patted the butts of those surrounding him with enthusiasm,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Please pat Great Blackie’s butt too!]
Blackie also excitedly ran over.
“Alright.”
This is payback from earlier!
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Sejun smacked Blackie’s butt hard, who had willingly come to get hit. The sound was loud, but it didn’t hurt at all. Even if he hit harder, Blackie, with his dragon skin, wouldn’t be hurt.
Kking~!
[Great Blackie is dying~!]
Blackie screamed. As it turned out, Blackie was a drama queen too.
Hehehe. I like that.
Sejun felt pleased with Blackie being like a sunfish, just like him.
Pat. Pat.
He earnestly patted Blackie’s butt.
After the flood of praise was over,
“Taecho, Jjokjjok, Pangpang, and YamYam will plant again.”
Sejun had Taecho and the Destruction kids who had grown dimensional and World Trees plant new pumpkins.
So, what were they going to do with the pumpkin masks?
Halloween Day was coming soon. That’s what it was for.
Hehehe. I’m going to go around collecting candy with the kids.
Sejun laughed, imagining the kids wearing pumpkin masks and going around getting candy from the neighbors.
Of course, the chances of things going as Sejun imagined were slim.

<Nakyul>
“I… I did it!”
Podori cheered, having barely saved the world from destruction by sacrificing a tremendous number of roots in the fight against the remnants of Destruction.
However,
[Podori, great job! Now, let’s go find the next world with the remnants of Destruction!]
Flamie, who had just been watching Podori from the side, urged him.
Honestly, Flamie really wanted to jump in, but if she helped, Podori’s trial wouldn’t progress, so she held herself back.
[Huh? I just finished, though?]
[Hehe. Exactly. Since it’s finished, we should head off.]
Flamie responded to Podori’s question with a sweet voice and a smile, but Podori couldn’t bring himself to say no.
Truly, no blood or tears…
Ah. Right. We don’t have blood or tears to begin with.
[Yes…]
Podori resigned himself and quickly moved his roots. While Flamie couldn’t offer help, she could beat him up. Resisting would only result in losing more roots.
And so, under Flamie’s constant scolding, Podori finally managed to save one more world from the remnants of Destruction, nearly a month after starting the trial.
However.
Too slow!
From Flamie’s perspective, his pace was agonizingly frustrating.
Because.
<Earth>
“Kkuiik!”
Boom!
“Oh. It’s Uren.”
“Puhuhut. Looks like he brought another remnant of Destruction, meow!”
Sejun and his party were saving a world with remnants of Destruction every 2 to 3 days.
As Ditto, the God of Ruin’s curse intensified, Uren’s misfortune brought increasingly powerful calamities. This was all thanks to Poyo sticking to Uren 24/7, tightly tailing him.
In return, [We Eat Your Misfortune] was temporarily closed, and many customers who visited Cuengi’s café were disappointed.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Leave it to Great Blackie! Great Blackie will take care of it!]
Striding out with grand confidence, Blackie confronted the remnant of Destruction. Lately, Blackie had been doing tremendously well.
Once the 1st among the 12 Apostles of Destruction, Blackie’s presence alone made remnants instantly react,
“We greet Fenrir-nim, the noble wolf who hunts gods!”
by prostrating themselves.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Now call me Great Blackie!]
“Yes! Great Blackie!”
Kking?
[You’ll surrender, right?]
“Of course! We surrender!”
Kking!
[Butler! Great Blackie has resolved it!]
Blackie effortlessly made them surrender.
However.
[Slaughterer Lemusa]
“What the hell is this mutt?!”
Whack!
Kkiking!
This remnant of Destruction, who came out of the dimensional gate, kicked Blackie as soon as he appeared. He had been such a low-ranking soldier in the army of Destruction that he never even got the chance to see Blackie.
How dare he hit Great Blackie?!
It didn’t hurt thanks to his dragonhide, but Blackie’s pride took a major hit.
Kkihing! Kking!
[Hing! Butler! That guy hit Great Blackie!]
Go! Butler!
He ran straight to Sejun and tattled.
“How dare you hit our Blackie?!”
I can hit him, but no one else can!
Furious, Sejun lifted Blackie into the sling bag.
Then.
“Guys, combine!”
Sejun shouted, stretching both arms wide.
“Understood, meow!”
Kueng!
Slap. Slap.
Gauntlets were equipped on both of Sejun’s hands. On his left hand was the Theo Gauntlet, and on his right hand was the Cuengi Gauntlet.
Theo and Cuengi were hanging onto the backs of Sejun’s hands.
And then.
“I’ll avenge Park Blackie! Cuengi Uppercut!”
Bang!
Sejun kicked the ground hard enough to crack it and dashed forward, thrusting his right fist upward from below.
Kueng!
Cuengi, hanging from Sejun’s right hand, thrust out his right front paw. He used just enough strength, being careful not to hurt Sejun.
This much should be fine…
Lemusa tried to dodge Sejun’s attack with ease, but
“What the… Kuhk!”
Another fist emerged from the original punch and struck her directly.
Boom!
As Lemusa was hit by the uppercut and launched into the air,
“Theo Jab!”
Shushushuk.
Sejun rapidly jabbed his left fist into the air where Lemusa was.
Bbaching!
As Theo extended his dragon claws,
“Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!”
He used Meow-meow Storm Fist to shred Lemusa into pieces.
[Black Tower’s Lucky Legendary merchant Park Theo and Advanced Herbalist Park Cuengi have defeated Slaughterer Lemusa.]
[You have gained 100 billion experience points, which is 50% of the experience earned by Park Theo and Park Cuengi.]
When Lemusa was erased by Sejun’s (?) attack,
“Lemusa has fallen!”
“Let’s avenge Lemusa!”
More remnants of Destruction emerged from the dimensional gate. This time, it was about quantity over quality, and the numbers were overwhelming.
Then.
“Hahaha. Time for the combo attack! Theo-Kueng-Park Drill Storm!”
As if he’d been waiting for it, Sejun brought his hands together in a Kamehameha-style stance.
“Understood, meow! Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!”
Kueng! Kueneeeeng!
[Kuehehehe. Got iiiiiiiiiit!]
At the same time, Theo unleashed Meow-meow Storm Fist, and Cuengi used Kueng-fooo. Their combined attack obliterated the enemies.
Now, it had become a perfectly executed combo technique.
Watching it, Sejun smiled in satisfaction. Until now, he couldn’t even dream of doing something like this, since being near them meant getting hurt.
Puhuhut. I’ve gotten a lot stronger.
It had been a long time since Sejun truly felt his own growth.
“This is what happens when you mess with our Blackie.”
He said, with a slightly smug look on his face.
Then.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Butler’s face is getting ugly again! Let’s step on it!]
Blackie charged straight at Sejun’s face.
However.
“Puhuhut. We won, meow!”
104.28.193.250
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Fighting together with Dad makes Cuengi feel good!]
Theo and Cuengi remained still.
“Haha. Not this time.”
Because this time, Sejun kept his boundaries and stayed within the line of modest pride.
“Park Blackie! You little brat! I even got mad because you were hit, and you step on my face?!”
Kking…
[Butler… I’m sorry…]
Once again, Blackie dangled helplessly, caught by the cheeks and held up in the air.
