Chapter 501 – Outbound Earth (41)

“When will the wedding be held?”
“Huh?”

After finishing his daily routine, Do-jin was asked such a question by Seo-yoon in his arms. In fact, I’ve already had a wedding in another world, so the wedding on Earth was just for show, but…

Seo-yoon seemed to want to have her wedding to show that. She must have been, since even her staff didn’t know that she was married.

“I don’t think the date matters… In the first place, when we get married, when will we set our wedding anniversary?”
“Hmm… You wouldn’t remember if I told you to marry on the Earth side.”
“Actually, there are just about every single thing I can’t remember right now.”
“Okay? Then let’s go to Earth.”

Seoyoon, who finished the agreement moderately, thought about her for a while, then quietly whispered in Dojin’s ear.

“… So, how are you going to solve that?”
“That?”
“The story of who you are going to make your wife. You can only marry one person on Earth, right?”
“Ah…”

Do-jin, who heard Seo-yoon’s words, stopped thinking about who he should register his marriage with. Fortunately, there were not many candidates. It was because there was no possibility that wives in another world would come over to Earth and ask for a marriage registration on Earth.

The candidates are Seoyoon, Aram, Eunha, and Gahee. Four like this I don’t know about Aram or Eunha, but Kahi wasn’t the kind of person who would give up her position as a vassal.

Doesn’t that mean that only two people can’t register their marriage? Opportunities had to be equal for all.

‘… Put them all in?’

And at that time, lightning passed through Dojin’s head. Aren’t monogamy, marriage registration, and all those legal systems that ordinary people have to abide by?

She did not have to obey the laws established by criminals. Rather the opposite. They had to follow their own laws.

“You can do all four.”
“… Didn’t you hear Is it not legal?”
“Seoyun, isn’t that law made by people after all?”
“No way, you…”
“I said I’d do it, why can’t I?”

Seoyoon, who understood Do-jin’s meaning, pouted her lips out in displeasure, but Do-jin only put his lips on top of hers as if she was cute.

* * *

“Nice to see you. This is Kim Dojin.”
“Hmm, it’s Park Ho-jin.”
“My son-in-law~ Isn’t this the first time you’ve seen me?”
“Yes, mother-in-law.”
“Son-in-law, how many times have you seen it already?”

Aram’s father, father-in-law, looked at his wife with a very uncomfortable expression. Seeing him for the first time today, he didn’t seem to like the fact that he was already calling himself son-in-law.

The father-in-law, who was looking at her wife with a slight frown, turned her gaze to Dojin.

“So- when did you start dating Aram?”
“It’s been about two years.”
“Two years… Is it the time of the incident?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“What really happened… Neither the police nor the reporters could find you…”

At that time, I really thought the world was collapsing, and the father-in-law began to complain. My daughter, whom I had cherished for over 20 years, suddenly disappeared one day without any news.

If you’re a sane parent, it’s something to burn your stomach. If my daughter came back after that, I would be prepared to do anything to make sure I don’t miss her again.

“—I cannot give up my daughter just because you went missing with me.”

“It’s okay.”

“… Are you okay? Are you saying it’s okay if I can’t take my daughter now?”

“Even if my father says he won’t allow it, it doesn’t matter.”

“This guy!”

At those words, the craftsman slammed the table and stood up. At first glance, Dojin’s words must have sounded like he was joking.

Dojin raised her hands as if to calm down as she looked up at her father-in-law, who was glaring at her with her blushing face changed.

“There is a reason why the father-in-law had no choice but to allow it.”
“Who is an artisan at will!”
“—This is the reason.”

Do-jin, who swung his hand in the air and cut the space, put his hand inside it. The craftsman who saw this was startled and took a step back.

The talented person was just such a being. A presence that gives fear to those who see it for the first time. Do-jin took out a photo from within the space before the craftsman felt disgust for himself beyond fear.

“Take it.”
“… This?”

The craftsman who received the photo tilted his head looking at Aram and Dojin in the photo. I wondered if he thought that he could change his mind with just this picture.

But after a while, the two were shocked to realize that there were not two people in the picture, but three people.

“Now, wait a minute- is this, is this real?”
“Yes, because there is no need to lie.”
Haha- my, my daughter. That my daughter gave birth to her child?”

In the photo, a total of three people were taken, including Dojin, Aram, and a baby in Aram’s arms.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law had no choice but to admit that the child in the picture was theirs, as they lovingly held the child as if it were their own. Because they themselves had children, they knew very well how they looked at their children.

In the photo, Aram’s eyes were undoubtedly full of motherly love for her child.

Haha- what is this… Impregnating an unmarried virgin… ?”
“Oh, if you had a child, tell me. Grandchildren? Granddaughter?”
“It’s this woman! What are you talking about!?”
“No, in this day and age, if you gave birth to a child, you should be grateful.

Did he say that the two of them were not on good terms? Seeing him fighting in front of his daughter’s boyfriend to say hello- it was easy to see that those words were not a lie.

Do-jin cleared his throat for a while and drew attention to the two, and then, realizing that they were fighting in front of a guest, the two men barely let go of their anger and looked at Do-jin.

“—So, what is the story you want to tell? I already had an accident, so if I don’t admit it, my daughter will become a single mother?”

“No way, I just came here to get permission to marry.”

“What if I say no to the end?”

“I’m sorry, but it will be a wedding without a father-in-law.”

“This crazy… Aram, should your father listen to these words?”

The craftsman immediately turned an arrow at Aram. She seemed to think that since she was my daughter, she would take my side. But there is one thing he didn’t know. Aram did not look good on his parents in the first place. He didn’t exactly see my father well.

When parents fight, children tend to resent them, and since it is usually the mother who is closer to the child at home than the father, it was too easy to blame everything that happened in her family on the father.

For the same reasons as above, Aram didn’t care much about what his father said. His own marriage was more important.

“… I’m sorry, Dad. But I like Do-jin.”

“Under- … Yes, mother and daughter-in-law say this, but I cannot object. So? How is a bastard who can’t go to college and don’t know where he came from going to feed my daughter?”

“Oh, I didn’t tell you. Sorry.”

As if Dojin had waited, he took out her business card and held it out. She was handed a business card by a newcomer to society, and the father-in-law burst into laughter and accepted the business card.

He couldn’t even go to college, and he thought that the company Do-jin, who had been on a hiatus for two years, would be an unheard-of little boy stuck somewhere in the province.

【Fantasia】
「Director Kim Do-jin」

However, the craftsman who received the business card stopped for a moment and started rubbing his eyes. And he looked at the name card and Dojin alternately and glared at this as if he was getting serious about it.

“No, what is this…”

“After disappearing, I developed a small talent, and I am running a small hole-in-the-wall shop with it.”

“A hole-in-the-wall shop, this company is not a company that will listen to the noise of a hole-in-the-wall shop…”
“Why? Where are you going— Oh, my son-in-law. Were you an employee of a large corporation?”

The mother-in-law glanced at the company name written on the business card from the side and smiled happily. But that wasn’t it. The craftsman held out his business card as if to look carefully.

Only then did the mother-in-law see the word ‘moving’, which was hidden by her husband’s hand, and looked at Do-jin after stiffening up.

“Hey, moving?”
“Yes.”
“Far, what is called fantasia… It’s the fantasia I know, right? Appearing on that TV…”
“You’re right. Mother.”
“—When are you planning to have the ceremony?”

At the words of the mother-in-law, the father-in-law coughed heavily as if he was uncomfortable, but he did not open his mouth and object.

Realizing that neither of them had much objection, Dojin carefully held Aram’s hand and smiled.

… Now, just let me know that she has three more people to marry other than her, and that’s it. Of course, this was the hardest thing.

─A gruesome kidnapping in an apartment in Daejeon is shocking. The victim is said to have disappeared leaving blood in the room… The police authorities speculated that the case was committed by a person with a grudge and announced that they would search for people around the victim-

“Wow, really late days.”
– Ding-dong.
“Yes, let’s go!”

Nahee, who was watching TV, heard the doorbell ring and ran out in a tabi. It was because it was time for the long-awaited food delivery.

Without thinking, Nahee opened the door and stepped back in surprise when she saw the man standing in front of the door. Tousled hair, veined eyes, etc– it was because he looked too dangerous to be a courier.

“Who, who are you?”
“—Savior.”
“Yes? What is that…”

The next moment, Nahee screamed as she saw the assailant stabbing her with a knife.

“Kyaaah-!?”

The assailant ignored the scream as if he was very familiar with it and stabbed him. The blade he stabbed hit the barrier that erupted from Nahee’s body and broke it.

While the assailant was taken aback by the broken blade, the residents of the apartment who heard Nahee’s screams opened the door one by one and began sticking their heads out.

“What?”
“What happened-.”
“Sah, save me! Report it to the police!”

Realizing that people were staring at him, the assailant sighed and stuck out his tongue, then jumped out of the apartment through the railing.

Uh- the people who were screaming put their heads out over the railing to see if the assailant was fine, and they could see the assailant running away casually.

“A talented person…”
“Crazy, did a person with powers try to commit murder?”

Amidst the worried voices of the residents, Nahee, who was about to be killed, sat down and groaned.

“Haha-.”

She was a level 3 superhuman, always protected by the Iyomadogu, but this was the first time she was subjected to such pure intent to kill.

She grabbed her smartphone with her trembling hand. And she called my colleagues.

The news that Nahee was attacked quickly spread.
