236 Daddy's too strong. Episode 235.

Hakase was busy preparing ingredients for the dinner.

They only sold bungeo-ppang and fish cakes until the afternoon, but in the evening, they were crowded with customers who came to eat simple snacks and a glass of soju, making it difficult to handle many customers unless they had to prepare ingredients in advance.

with a thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud.

Hakase's hand, which was skillfully cutting a layer of green onion on the cutting board, stopped. It was because a cute little girl and a baby came into sight in the cart. The girl spoke to the baby in a friendly tone.

"Byul, I'm going to eat soon, so just have one."

Hakase, who had been struggling with business all day.

When I saw Carthiel, I felt the fatigue going away.

A smile spreads around her mouth, stops what she is doing, approaches Carthiel and lifts her up. This was a so-called, boongboong bung.

"Hahaha! Karsiel is here!"

Would it feel like this if I had a younger sister?

Hakase felt that Karsiel was the cutest in the world. She is the youngest of the dragon family, and everything she has seen since she was poor during "Hezling," so she still looked like a child in Hakase's eyes. However, Carthiel's reaction was chilly.

"Let me go."

"...Jae, not funny?"

"Because I'm not a child anymore. I'm an adult, too."

".M.Sorry."

said Carthiel with a sigh.

"So, no more boongboong now."

"Oh, my God! So what joy am I to live with now?"

"...hah."

I cry with all my heart.

crop cultivation and harvesting

Mechanical research and artifact fabrication.

Although he had many hobbies such as running a cart bar, none of them is comparable to Carthiel. Playing with Karsiel was a panacea for Hakase at the same time as a fatigue recovery agent.

So now Carthiel's grown up.'

Somehow

I became sad.

***

Friday evening.

After finishing the meal, Dojun stopped by the cart late at night. The cart was usually open until 2 a.m., but today it closed at 11 p.m., three hours earlier than usual. The reason was none other than Hakase's counseling. Kiriel was not present at the site of his return to Hakase's nest.

a gulp

Hakase shook off the soju glass,

He put it down on the table, turbid and rough. Hakasseh, who drank five bottles of soju alone, had a slightly hot face, and was getting drunk. If you drink 5 bottles of soju, you'll get drunk. Do-jun looked at it with great curiosity.

"What is being an adult?"

The first word Hakase uttered.

Somehow, there's a hint of a beginning. Do-jun noticed that what he said was not a question, but just a mutter to himself, and did not say anything. Indeed, as Dojun was silent, Hakase immediately continued.

"I thought she'd be a child forever, but she wasn't. He was really cute back in his days. Well, that's my greed. Oh, you might wonder if I'm telling you this. We'll have to go back to the memories of me and Carthiel to get to know what's going on. It was, as usual, when I was absorbed in mechanical research..."

Maybe because I'm drunk.

We talked a lot.

Dojun listened seriously to Hakase's troubles. And after about an hour of listening to all the memories with Karsiel and what happened today, the point is that Karsiel has become an "adult" who no longer accepts the boom.

"I'm an adult too, but I thought she would remain a child forever. But today, he said that he is now an adult. Well, now that Siel's time is over."

"......Well."

as Hakase said

What is it to be an adult?

However, in Dojun's eyes, both Karsiel and Hakasena were children.

"I've grown up mentally and physically. I've also changed a lot from before. I think being an adult is self-control and not easily overwhelmed by emotions. These days, Siel doesn't express his feelings very well. He's blunt. Doesn't the king of the earth think so, too?"

Dojun sipped the liquor in the soju glass.

next day

Dojun came out to town after a long time.

On weekdays, I didn't have much time to come out to the city to do anything, but I was thinking of shopping for daily necessities that I had been putting off for the weekend. After a simple lunch break, Dojun visited a large supermarket run by a large company.

There was a coffee chain at the entrance of the mart, so I stopped by for a while.

"Here's your Americano and strawberry latte."

Strawberry latte is served in disposable cups.

On top of the latte were whipped cream and strawberries.

Carthiel, who was holding Dojun's hand tightly, accepted the strawberry latte and said, "It's amazing."

"Lord, master. There are real strawberries on top."

Do-joon smiled and stroked Carthiel's head.

Carthiel grinned as if he was in a good mood, and picked up a raw strawberry on the cream and mumbled it in his mouth. Then he held the strawberry latte in both hands, and stared blankly at Dojun's hand, and took the latte in one hand and clasped Dojun's hand in the other empty hand.

Softly.

I can see a light brown tail fluttering through the coat.

Usually, polymorphs in human form even hid their tails, but sometimes she forgot to hide them when she was in a really good mood. Dojun giggles,

"You have to hide it well."

When he said, Carthiel hurriedly hid his tail.

"...it's my fault."

"It's all right. Be careful next time."

***

Hakase's nest was cave-shaped.

There were only about four rooms, but the size of one room was larger than most university playgrounds, so there was no problem living there. However, except for the machine room, artifact studio, and other warehouses, the other room was a place where Hakase and Kiriel lived together, which was very narrow compared to other rooms.

a space of about 30 pyeong

There are two beds.

Various furniture, appliances, and cooking utensils were installed.

At first glance, it just feels like a large pension.

But there was not much room in the room because there was a lot of trash rolling around the room.

"Dae, Dae, Dae, Ji, Wu Li Da...."

Byul puffed her mouth as if she had been quite shocked. Sometimes the house he lived in was a mess, but it was never this bad.

"......"

Hakase and Kiriel looked at each other.

Yeah, it was a little messy in the room. I haven't cleaned once in a month.

At that time, Moon Byul's eyes opened wide as she was looking at the solids and soup in a bowl of finished cup noodles.

"I don't want to buy Daeji a day."

Hakase flinched. That was a cup noodle left for a late night snack a few days ago. In addition, empty cola bottles, leftover containers after eating delivery food, clothes were scattered all over and over again. The traces of life in a month.

"Doesn't know."

flutter flutter

Where did Byul find it, she began to pick up the garbage by mumbling around with a pay-as-you-go envelope stuck in the corner. At the moment, startled Hakase and Kiriel ran and lifted up the stars.

"Come on, Joe. Cheong Sohae, yea Dae."

At that moment.

Hakasseh and Kiriel were on the same wavelength.

It's kind of telepathic.

"From the experience of this body, it doesn't end with a letter of apology."

"If Byul lets you clean it up, that's it."

Pod!

For a moment three people disappeared.

And then, a moment later, Pod! and Hakase and Kiriel reappeared.

Byul returned to her original home and came back. By the way, it's good to have Byul back, but how should I clean up all this garbage, and who should clean it up?

"........."

then

A leaflet came in the eyes of the two.

It was a promotional flyer for a new arcade at a large supermarket in Bangbae-dong.

"Lizard, this is the game."

"Okay. The loser cleans up, calls the winner brother for a week. Deal?"

"Call!"

***

"Daddy! I want that!"

"Yes, I'll get you one! Just trust your dad."

A child shouted at his father, pointing to the rabbit doll in the claw machine. The man, who appeared to be a father, put in a 10,000-won bill, played 12 games, but was unable to pick a rabbit doll, and only after paying an extra 20,000 won, did he pick the doll that the child wanted.

"Daddy the best!"

The father quickly recovered his laughter at the child's favorite appearance, although he might have lost quite a lot of blood because he spent 30,000 won on the claw machine. When Dojun was lost in thought that all fathers with children would be like that.

"..........."

Karsiel was staring at the figure.

Then, suddenly, he looks up at Dojun.

"Do you want to have it, too?"

Karsiel shook his head.

"Not at all."

But Carthiel's eyes were always on the child and the father.

Dojun smiled and walked to the claw machine and put a thousand won bill into the machine.

The tongs were activated with the wi ing sound. It was his first time to play claw machine game, but I could quickly figure out the trick by watching a man play.

Took

I picked a rabbit doll in just one try.

Dojun took out the doll from the outlet and handed it to Karsiel. As Cassiel's eyes grew bigger, he looked up at Dojun.

"Lord, master?"

"I wanted to pull it out. Will you take it?"

Softly.

Can't hide joy.

Before I knew it, I could see the tail fluttering.

Karsiel's face also brightened terribly. Dojun lifted the carciel with a flash. According to Hakase, he said he hated boongboong, but his tail shook more vigorously than before. In addition, Karsiel's face was flushed.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Please don't look."

Do-jun laughed.

Meanwhile, Dojun went up to the last top floor.

The rooftop has been noisy since a while ago, and I could feel two familiar vibes.

"Look at him."

"How many rounds have you been doing that already?"

"So, isn't he the last Iron Gun winner?"

"Oh! That's right! I'm sure he said his name was Kiriel."

When I got a little closer.

Two familiar men were sitting in front of the arcade.

They were playing a game called Iron Gun Tag, in which a man with long hair was clearly seen being beaten in succession by a man with comma hair.

"Khaha! How dare you bet this body on an iron gun. Stupid lizard!"

The long-haired man began to turn red.

A man with a comma-shaped head giggled at the sight.

"You're my brother.

The comma-haired man was speechless.

A long-haired man took out two lumps of fireball in both hands.

rushed at a man with a comma-headed head.

"Dead your brother once!"

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Dojun is just,

Now I thought it was good.
