## Chapter 1540 – Chronicles of the Black-Haired Foreigner – The Demon God of Another World

“W-What…?! What is this sorcery?! That fourth daughter-in-law looks so young…!”
“Didn’t I tell you to drop to the ground?”
“But the degree of kinship and seniority!”
“How dare you!!!!!!”

My father tried to make a final plea, mentioning kinship and seniority, but before a true elder of the family, such things were nothing more than petty quibbles.

“Do you dare argue about such things with a family elder!!!!!!”

—Thwack!

“Kuaaaaaaack!!!”

The moment Risha scolded him, my father went flying and crashed into the wall, sprawling on the floor.

“Mal-soo, you have no manners! Today, this lady will correct that habit of yours! How dare you raise your voice in front of a family elder, and even bring up such trivial matters!!! Who on earth taught you to behave like this!!!!”

Probably our grandfather.

“Hurry up and drop to the ground!!!”
“Y-Yes…!”

And so.

“Keuheuk!”

The pseudo-Confucian monster, Kim Mal-soo, assumed the push-up position.

I had never seen that man do push-ups in my life. He was the type to watch exercise programs at home and punch the floor, complaining about how hard it was, but to make such a person drop to the ground!

It was simply astonishing…!

“Mal-soo. Straighten your posture. Or are you dissatisfied with being scolded by this lady?”
“N-No… it’s not that…”
“Not that? Then why is your posture so poor?”
“I’m sorry!”

Instantly switching to a complete loser mode, my father followed Risha’s instructions and assumed the correct posture. A push-up position that was hard for a middle-aged man to endure.

—Wobble, wobble.

His arms were trembling.

“Hehehe.”

Seeing that made me feel incredibly satisfied.

I know my father loves me, but I was raised too permissively from a young age. And even now, he kept spouting boomer nonsense. It’s only right that he’s being punished.

“Sorry? You say that, but you still look very dissatisfied. Mal-soo. Isn’t that right?”
“No! That’s not true!”
“What?! Then are you saying that this is outside, not inside?! Do you dare mock this lady!”
“N-No way?! I-I’m sorry!!!”
“Your voice is too quiet, Mal-soo!!! Your apology doesn’t feel sincere at all! This won’t do! Who on earth raised you to be such an ill-mannered person!!!”
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Wow.

But it was truly astonishing.

It hadn’t even been five minutes since Risha started scolding him, but as soon as my father realized that Risha was older than him, he began to obey her completely, repeating “I’m sorry” over and over again.

What is this?

The fact that he believed in respecting elders to this extent was truly shocking.

He doesn’t even rebel like someone who’s being a hypocrite. In the end, he’s just being polite because Risha is a family elder.

At least he’s consistent.
Just like me.

“Why do you keep changing the subject! I’m asking you who raised you to be such an ill-mannered person! This won’t do! Even though you’re being scolded, you’re not even listening to this lady! I cannot forgive you!”
“N-No, that’s not it!”

Just say it’s Grandpa already!

“That’s not it? Then are you saying that this lady is saying something wrong?!”
“I-I’m sorry…!”

Risha, scolding him fiercely while shouting!

I’m not lying, I’ve never seen Risha like this before. And it seemed that the other girls felt the same way, as they were all covering their mouths with their hands, trembling.

“M-My goodness… I didn’t know Risha-unni could say such things…?”
“I’ve never seen her like this before…”
“S-So scary!”

It’s that shocking!

“Tell me! Is this lady saying something wrong now!”
“No! You’re absolutely right!”
“Then that means you were aware that you weren’t listening to this lady, right? You know that doing it even when you’re aware of it is even worse!!! So why did you do it!!!”
“That is…!”
“Don’t trail off! How dare you trail off when a family elder is speaking!”
“Heok!”

Unavoidable checkmate.

A quagmire where you get scolded more no matter what you say.

Risha’s age and experience.
It was already steadily accumulating within her.

“You ill-mannered fellow! Who raised you like this!!!”
“M-My, my father! I’m sorry! My father taught me!”
“Father?! Are you selling out your own father now?! I can’t believe it! Isn’t that filial impiety!! How dare you sell out your own father!!!”
“Y-Yes?! N-No! That’s not it!”
“Not it?! Then you lied to this lady?! You even falsely sold out your father?!”
“Heueueueuk! I’m sorry!”

Risha is scary…!

“What kind of person are you, Mal-soo!!!! You’re acting so ill-mannered, but you’re just saying sorry with your mouth!!”
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Insane, non-stop scolding barrage!

“I-It’s worse than when Blackie has a fit…”
“U-Uhm… Our witch is too scary.”
“It’s like interrogating a heretic…!”

Everyone is shocked.

“Katt. He might start crying if this goes on.”

Claudia said with a smile.

But that’s wrong.

“No. Father. Never shows tears in front of us.”
“Huh?”
“That’s the kind of person he is.”

My father never cries.

Even if he’s being scolded by an elder, he never cries in front of us.

That’s what my father is like.

“Keuheuk!”

But Mr. Mal-soo was now shedding tears.

“Shit.”

Why are you crying.

Anyway, Risha’s non-stop scolding barrage continued for a long time, and my father ended up completely exhausted. Being scolded while in a push-up position. It wasn’t something a middle-aged man could handle.

Sweat was pouring out of my father’s body.

“Now, kneel.”
“…Yes.”

My father, as docile as a new bride, knelt at Risha’s words. He looked very tired. Risha sighed as she looked at my father.

“Hoo… Mal-soo. Straighten your posture. Don’t you know that a person’s character comes from their posture? Why is your posture so crooked? Could it be that you’re deliberately doing this because you don’t like being scolded by this lady?”
“That’s not it!”

—Paaat!

My father, as disciplined as a new recruit assigned to his unit.

To think there was someone who could instill discipline in that man.

I really can’t believe this reality. Risha had this side to her too. I’m very happy to have learned about a new side of her.

Well, my father looks like he’s having a hard time, but I can just treat him later. And send him plenty of red ginseng too.

He’s been scolded severely, so he’ll live with some sense from now on.

“Mal-soo, you have no manners. How dare you try to make your daughters-in-law, whom you’re meeting for the first time, do chores? This lady has a merciful nature, and since you’re also the father-in-law, I tried to be as lenient as possible, but your arrogance and insolence were something I couldn’t just overlook.”
“Yes…”
“Hurry up and apologize to your daughters-in-law. Just because you’re the father-in-law, does that mean you can force them to do unreasonable things? Who taught you to do that, Mal-soo.”
“I-It’s all my fault…”
“Then stand up and apologize.”
“…Yes.”

My father, who had answered with his head bowed, stood up from his seat.

He turned to us and bowed his head again.

“I-I’m sorry… my daughters-in-law… This father-in-law was wrong. I arrogantly forced our culture on you, who came from foreign lands… Please forgive me…”

At those words.

Everyone smiled.

“Well, if Blackie’s dad apologizes this much.”
“Hehehe, he’s been scolded thoroughly and seems to have come to his senses.”
“Risha-nim scolded him like that, so let’s accept it. He’s still Katt-nim’s father, after all.”

Everyone nods.
It seems they’re going to accept the apology.

Then Karin smiled and said.

“Well then, since the father-in-law has apologized. Shall we start the initiation ceremony?”
“Initiation ceremony?”
“Father-in-law initiation ceremony.”

What kind of initiation ceremony are you planning?

“Let’s toss him in the air once. It’s tradition.”
“Hehe. Sounds good.”
“Hmph, I understand. That much of an initiation ceremony is necessary.”

Everyone agrees with Karin’s words. That’s right. An initiation ceremony is a must for such a happy day. Tossing in the air is a traditional celebratory event in our family, isn’t it?

“Hehehe, alright. Then, in celebration of accepting the apology. Let’s toss him in the air once.”

Transcendent tossing in the air.

Today, my father will be reborn.

—Paaat.

We immediately spread our wings.

“Uh?”

Ignoring my bewildered father, Winia immediately created a transfer gate on the floor, and with that, our entire group, including my father, warped to the high sky. All we could see was the blue sky. We were now above the Pacific Ocean.

“W-What is this! Keuntae! What is this sorcery!!!”

Grabbing my father’s flailing limbs.

“Winia. Protection magic.”
“I already cast it.”
“Then let’s start the initiation ceremony. One, two.”

—Three!!!
—Three!!!
—Three!!!

At the same time as shouting three.

—Whoooooooooosh!

My father, enveloped in protection magic, flew all the way to space.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!”

My father’s scream echoed faintly with the Doppler effect…

Very.

A very touching sight.

—Clap, clap, clap.
—Clap, clap, clap.
—Clap, clap, clap.

We clapped as we watched it.

“Thank you, Father. Live strongly in the mountains.”
“Ah! Katt, you!”

The moment I recited the solemn line, Liz, who was next to me, shouted as if she was having a seizure.

“Huh?”

Why?

“You recited that weird director’s line again! I had a feeling you would!”
“What? N-No! That’s not it!”
“Unnies, quickly grab Blackie too!!!”
“Misunderstanding!!!!”

—Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!

And so, I ended up enjoying the transcendent father-son tossing-in-the-air space full course with my father.

It’s a little late.

But I’m now going on a filial piety trip with my father.
