Chapter 111 – Chapter 111

[My child, 8 years old, hangs on the computer all day and plays games.]

In the case of my child, it was not a computer, but a portable game console, Mintendo, but the situation was almost the same.

[Eating quickly while playing games.]

Oh, this is not so much
Although Miho still liked games, her number one priority she was eating. Instead, there was something a little different.

[Moreover, if the computer is not allowed, they get angry and even use a group.]

In a way, this knight’s son was worse than Miho.
My Miho didn’t get mad at me for not letting me play. He was just trying to convince me with plausible words.

‘How could this be worse?’

Because already a young guy wants to stand on top of me.

[Maybe you think you are already standing above your head?]

‘… Today might be the first day you’ll use the cane.’

Actually it’s a joke
No matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn’t lift the rod against the two.

[Game addiction has a serious adverse effect on a child’s brain. In particular, it stimulates the part called the reward center, which demands pleasure, to make it bigger. In addition, children who play shooting games for an average of 15 hours or more per week have lower frontal lobe activity than children who do not.]

Nothing to worry about about this
Because Miho was an idiot from the start. How much of a problem would it be if my head got a little worse over there?

[… ] …]

I quickly skimmed through the insignificant details and found only the key information I needed.

[Determine the rules for game time with your child.]

It was an unexpected advice, and this was the promise I made with Miho yesterday.

‘This is the case where the real adari matched well.’

I didn’t do it because I saw something like this, I just did it because I wanted it to be like this. I thought that would have been another correct answer.
Then…

[Let’s increase the time to move the body, there is no better way to get out of game addiction than moving the body.]
[Find a substitute for pleasure, children gain and lose interest easily, so if you give them something more interesting than the game, they will naturally get away with it.]
[To satisfy emotional satisfaction, children who usually play games are more likely to get hooked if they do not get the satisfaction they get from games from others.]

Lots of great advice.
In addition, I read a lot of articles about how to induce children to play, and conversely, children who play are smarter than children who do not play.

“Dad, breakfast is ready.”
“Thank you, Noah.”
“Rice?! Kyaang! Breakfast!”

It’s true that Miho is addicted to games in her own way, but seeing as she threw away even the game she was playing at the word rice and came running, it was clear that her gluttony her had won the game.
Then…

“Miho, shall we eat lunch outside today? How about pizza after a long time, pizza!”

At my words, Miho clenched the spoon into a fist and shoved the rice and side dishes into her mouth as if drinking.

“Mihe, just avoid it…”
“Eat everything and tell me.”

Before poking that cheek-picker that was about to explode with a toothpick.

[Mr. Hyunwoo!]

You didn’t say it out of your mouth. And honestly, look at Miho’s cheeks on her.

“Mmmm, salty…”

Who wouldn’t want to poke a ball like that at least once after seeing a ball that looks like it’s about to explode? To put it mildly, Noah, too, had finished eating and was leaning against Miho as he approached Miho. I also tried to stab Miho’s cheek with a black but stretched out as if possessed.

「Cock, Kook…”

“… What are you both doing?”

In the end, Miho, who was stabbed in the cheek by me and Noah, asked with only his characteristic cute and round eyes blinking.

“No, eat a lot. Great.”
“Unnie, you were very cute this time…”

Anyway.

“Miho, I like pizza.”
“Five!”

I decided to have pizza for lunch as it is, and I was fiddling with my phone, wondering if I should make a reservation in advance.
Miho Kim said.

“And take care of delivery. Kyaang!”

With a bang, the smartphone in my hand fell to the floor.
Not only game consoles, but also delivery items.
It was an elf itself that had been corrupted by modern conveniences.

“Kyaang! Well done! Noah and Miho, let’s play too.”
“Yes, sister.”

During the few minutes I was agonizing over it, Miho, who had erased Bob with magic that was like a dimension in an unknown space, started beating the game console again.
Fortunately, I didn’t lie down or lie down after eating.
Right after eating, he was quietly sitting against the wall and digesting food.

‘That’s fortunate.’

Whoa, he said and let out a sigh of relief.

‘I told you not to play games outside, so you’re just sitting at home.’

However, if you allowed me to play games outside, it could be really dangerous, apart from being Amitabha Buddha.
Accidents caused by children using smartphones are still one of the news stories that often come up.

“What should I do, really?”

Like this, while worrying, I was washing the dishes side by side with Noah.
Noah, who was quickly rinsing the bowl I had cleaned with foam, told me.

“Dad, just say that you want to play outside with your sister.”
“Can I say that? The kid who is sticking his face into a game console like that right now?”
“Yes, of course.”

Noah said with a small smile.

“Because my sister will love her dad a hundred times more than the game.”
“…”

It was something I hadn’t even thought of.
At the same time, it was also a word that I couldn’t believe well.

“Ougyaaaaagh! Take it, Miho Michail!”

Even now, the kid who is enjoying himself like he won’t let go of the game console even in an earthquake, and if I cling to him just because I want to play, he will immediately follow me?

“Shoot ah… Kik.”

After the dishes were finished, I approached Miho after asking Noah to clean up the remaining cleanup, sorry.
Meanwhile, Miho’s eyes were fixed on the game console.
Even when I came right next to him, he glanced at me and quietly turned around and acted as if he was defending the game console.

“Miho, this is inside the house… Someone said that you can play games at home.”
“You can do it. By the way, Miho Kim.”
“Yes?”
“Dad really wants to play outside with Miho, but we go outside later and run or kick a ball… Why don’t you play like that?”

Gulp, and saliva goes down.

“Thump, pound, pound!”

My heart rate went up by itself as my mouth dried up. Noah couldn’t have lied, but it wasn’t easy for her to honestly believe it.
By the way…

“Mmm, uhhhhh!”

When Miho suddenly wanted to stretch her body her, she even turned off the game she was playing in the middle and carefully stood up.

“Ah~ ah~, there’s nothing special.”
“…”
“Miho, it was during the time when I was getting a little tired of the game. Like this, Miho should play with Tonnu.”

As I said that, the moment I grabbed the child clinging to my leg, I couldn’t help but cry.
If you ask me why I cry so often, I have nothing to say.
It usually seemed like this every time I looked back to see if I was wrong.

[To satisfy emotional satisfaction, children who usually play games are more likely to get hooked if they do not get the satisfaction they get from games from others.]

Perhaps… I didn’t even know that I couldn’t satisfy Miho. No, maybe I was doing something wrong.

“Dad, shall we go out then?”

“I flinch.”

When Noah finished cleaning up and approached while wiping his hands on a towel, Miho flinched slightly and asked me cautiously.

“By the way, Tongue Nu. Are you really okay?”
“What?”
“Miho is a tomboy… You’ve been outside and you’re just smoking. I’m not as quiet as Noah. What if I get into an accident again?”
“Hey, that’s all…”

It was a joke, because I like you.
I wanted Miho to enjoy it a little more, so it felt like a light comic conversation…

I kept my mouth shut.

‘Stupid bastard.’

It’s good for parents to play like children, but at least they should have protected what they were supposed to protect.
Maybe I wasn’t too mature.

“Whoa.”
“What tongue?”
“Kim Mi-ho is Kim Mi-ho!”
“Wow!”
“Noah Kim is Noah Kim!”
“… Dad?”

Heecha, I said as I picked up the two children in my arms as usual, pulled them towards me and rubbed their faces together.

“Miho Kim, what did you say before? When I bought the game console, what did the mart tell me?”
“But Miho, it was wrong even then…”
“You haven’t done anything wrong. So, Dad apologized to you then.”
“…”
“The first daughter, Kim Mi-ho.”
“Uh…”
“Dad thinks so too. Miho is Miho, and Noah is Noah. They are two different people Actually, Miho is an elf, and Noah is a dragon. How could they be the same?”
“Yes…”
“So first of all, we can do whatever we want. Dad will take care of everything. As before, I won’t make mistakes anymore. Of course, so is Noah. Do what you both want to do. To do that…”

You have parents

“Your dad is always by your side.”
“…”
“…”

At my words, Noah smiled and hugged me tightly, and Miho carefully hugged me and whispered.

“Miho, I don’t know if I’ll hurt my tongue again.”
“The pitiful Kim Hyun-woo at that time is no longer there. All that’s left now is Super Dad. Even if a truckload of bastards like that comes along, I have the confidence to knock them all out by myself.”
“Really?”
“Maybe it’s a bit difficult right now? But to really be like that, you have to exercise outside, right?”
“Then Miho will accompany you.”

Then, Miho said, and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

“Because it’s embarrassing if you use your tongue alone.”
“Because you’re bored?”
“Yes. That’s what Miho said. Now, I can’t understand Tonnu and Miho very well.”

That’s it.
Maybe now, even if you say it with your eyes, at least half of it will be understood. That’s how much I fell in love with you guys.

“Now then, shall we think about where we should go today? Dad wants to go to the bookstore too.”

I’m far from books, but these days I can feel the limitations of the Internet.
In the end, I thought it would be better to buy the book to get a little more detailed information. More than anything, I wanted to show the kids a place called a ‘bookstore’.

I can’t be quiet.
With the distinctive smell of books, full of books… When I first visited a large bookstore with my mother, I felt like I had entered a magical castle that only appeared in that movie.
This is because it was possible to move up and down floors only through narrow stairs surrounded by books.

“After that, the park would be nice, but today it would be nice to stop by the stationery store, buy a ball and stuff, and go to the playground.”

After reading the article earlier, it was said that it is best to use tools to let children play outside.
It is said that young children are easily interested in playing with tools.

“Then, shall we prepare to go out now?”

At my question, Miho pulled my cheek and whispered in my ear.

“Teolnu, if you forget the pizza, won’t you?”
“Don’t forget. You must eat pizza.”
“Kyaang!”

I was putting on my shoes to go out like that, but Miho said.

“Yeongnu, but it looks like it will rain later.”
“Really?”

At that, I opened the front door and went outside and looked at the sky.
There seemed to be no better weather to go out than today, with not a cloud in sight. However, since I am a father who believes in my daughter, I also checked the information from the Korea Meteorological Administration.

[Provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration]
[Clear/no clouds]
[Precipitation probability 0%]
[Wind (southeast wind) 3m/s]

The Korea Meteorological Administration is also recommending today as a perfect day for a family picnic.
I looked at it and thought, maybe.

‘I’m not lying because I don’t want to go out, right?’

Miho met my eyes like this and muttered.

“Hey, you’re trusting Miho again.”
“Should we go out?”
“Kyaaaaang! It’s out!”

… What tune am I supposed to tune in to?

I sighed and held Noah’s hand, thinking as I chased after Miho, who ran out first.
After all, I need a mother…
