## Chapter 1624 – The Black-Haired Foreigner Chronicles – The Heavenly Demon’s Children

An absurd joy.

“Wow!”

Nick was thrilled, looking at the inhuman deep-sea creatures. He’s just at that age. I used to be obsessed with deep-sea creatures when I was a kid too.

That reminds me of those days.

Indeed, the main interests of young boys are insects or sea creatures. The topic of whether a sinister insect said to live in the remote regions of South America is stronger, or a bizarre ribbon worm said to live deep in the sea is stronger, was a favorite topic among elementary schoolers. We also had a lot of Mimic vs. Deep Rising battles.

I guess fathers and sons do become alike?

Looking at Nick reminds me of my childhood.

“Dad! Over there! A tripod fish!”
“Ooh! Nick, your eyesight is amazing!”
“Let’s go see it!”
“Okay!”

As we got closer, a bizarre deep-sea fish standing on three legs revealed itself. How could such a creature exist? It was a question that naturally arose.

If ancient jungle tribes had witnessed such a fish, they would have worshiped it as a god. It wouldn’t be a positive god, though. It would be something negative, a convergence of the ancient people’s unique, damp, and grotesque ideas.

“I saw it in a book! It said it stands here like this for its whole life!”
“That’s amazing. Nick, quickly, knock it over.”
“Huh? Knock it over?”
“Quickly. We need to knock this bastard over quickly.”
“Yes, yes. I’ll knock it over.”

—Whoosh.

As Nick reached out his hand, the tripod fish collapsed very easily. It was a sight akin to the idol of a defeated tribe collapsing in an inhuman and pagan war among ancient peoples.

The sight of the three-legged fish falling over was that shocking and unconventional. Who could have imagined such a sight before looking into this deep sea…! That’s what it meant for a secret shrouded in darkness to be revealed!

“Dad, I knocked it over. What should we do now?”
“Uh. It’s over now.”
“Huh?”
“It can never get up again now. It has to live like that forever because of Nick. This is a disaster. What are we going to do, Nick?”
“Huh?! What am I going to do!”

Nick, startled, jumped up and down in place.

“It’s because of you, Dad! If you hadn’t told me to knock it over!”
“Hehehe.”
“Save me!”
“You idiot.”

He’s so innocent!

“Hey, you. What do you mean, save you? We can just stand it back up. Like this.”

—Thwack.

Like an archaeologist restoring a ruined ancient idol, I grabbed the tripod fish and stood it back up as it was originally.

—Gulp, gulp.

As soon as my hand left, this ominous fish mumbled something, but I couldn’t understand what this absurdly bizarre ancient fish species was saying. But I was glad I couldn’t hear it.

Hollow eyes.

Eyes filled with darkness.

The only thing a fish with those eyes would say was a string of evil curses that had been secretly passed down from ancient times to the present. Oh! That curse was a cry filled with inferiority and jealousy! You humans left the water and built civilizations, but we fish species are still stuck in the sea, swallowing the trash and wastewater you release!

The ominous fish of the deep sea all harbor absurd hatred! Unable to go to land, they have cursed the darkness and lived hidden in its veil since ancient times!

“Dad! Please stop telling scary stories!”
“Uh. I’m going to do more.”
“Please!”
“Hehehe! Ah, really. This is hilarious. Okay. Okay, Nick. I won’t. I was just doing it because it’s fun when Nick gets scared.”
“That’s mean!”
“Hehehe, ah. Nick, let’s go again.”

And so, we left the tripod fish behind and walked along the deep seabed.

“The cursed humans have left. But I will be left here forever. Crushed by darkness forever.”
“Please stop!”
“Nick… if you keep doing that, I’m going to play `four-legged basketball` here.”
“Why would you do that in the deep sea! Dad! Save me!”
“Okay, okay. I’ll save you now.”

Nick was a really fun kid to tease.

—Rustle, rustle.
—Rustle, rustle.

Anyway, as we were moving, some tailless, ominous deep-sea lobsters, perhaps drawn by the light, approached and showed curiosity.

“What are these?”
“I wonder.”

As Nick reached out his finger, a lobster that was approaching passed through the protective shield.

“Oh. Did Nick’s friend come?”
“It’s not my friend!”
“Just be friends, you brat. Nick, you have to get along with everyone. You can’t discriminate against deep-sea creatures. Are you going to be a racist, Nick?”
“N, no, it’s not that…”
“Okay, quickly. Say hello to your friend.”
“H, hello, lobster…?”

Nick, instantly caught up in my pace, greeted the lobster. Of course, the lobster didn’t return the greeting.

“Dad! It’s not saying hello!”
“How can a lobster say hello?”
“Huh? But Dad told me to be friends…”
“Uh. That’s a lie. How can you be friends with a deep-sea lobster?”
“Dad!”
“Hahahahahahaha! Oh my! Nick! You’re so cute!”
“Agh!”

I immediately hugged Nick and kissed his cheeks like crazy! Is it okay for the eldest son to be this cute!

Well, with that kind of feeling, the father and son, Katt, explored the deep sea.

We saw a lot of things as we went. We witnessed beautiful jellyfish, saw inhuman octopuses, and also saw deep-sea beings that couldn’t be described.

“Dad. I think there are only gloomy guys on this floor. Let’s go up a little higher and look at the fish.”
“Okay.”

I kept teasing him, but we went up and looked at schools of fish and dolphins, and he seemed to be having a lot of fun.

“Dad! It’s a killer whale!”
“Ooh! It’s a killer whale! Nick, is a killer whale black with white patterns, or white with black patterns?”
“Huh? Wait a minute. I’ve never thought about it.”
“Guess.”
“Ugh… I don’t know.”
“Ah, geez. You don’t know? I don’t know either.”
“Huh?”

No. What are you going to do if you don’t know?
I asked because I didn’t know either.

“Ah, I’m curious.”
“Dad doesn’t know either?”
“How would I know that? I asked Nick because I didn’t know.”
“Agh! I’m even more curious now!”
“I’m even more curious because of you, Nick! I can’t take it! I’m going to walk on four legs!”

My favorite butterfly is the four-footed butterfly!

“Aaaaaaaagh!”

It was a very enjoyable sea trip!

* * *

“Did you have fun on our sea trip, Nick?”
“Yes… it was a lot of fun…”
“Really?”
“Let’s go again next time…”
“Hehehe, okay.”

Perhaps because he had used up all his energy after coming back above the water, Nick started blinking and dozing off.

“Dad… I’m sleepy.”
“Looks like it. Let’s go to sleep.”

I immediately picked Nick up and opened the gate to return to our room. But when I came back, wasn’t there a big-breasted woman waiting?

“Winia?”
“Oh? Blackie? Nick’s asleep?
“Yeah. He was sleepy, so he fell asleep.”
“Where did you go with Nick?”
“A sea trip.”
“What? You went on a sea trip?”
“Hehehe, yeah. He liked it when we went to see the fish and stuff.”
“What. If you’re going to go to a place like that, you should go with me. Why did you only go with Nick?”

Winia, pouting her lips, grumbled about why she didn’t go with us. I immediately put Nick down on the bed and comforted Winia.

“It was a preliminary survey. A preliminary survey. Nick wanted to go once.”
“Ugh.”

Of course, that comfort was a kiss. After hugging her waist and talking, I kissed her, and Winia obediently accepted the kiss. Winia is so lovely in these moments.

“Well… Blackie did a good job. You worked hard. Playing with Nick right after work.”

Winia, softened by the kiss, praised me kindly.

“Winia worked hard today too. Thank you as always.”
“Thank you… So, Blackie. Did you see the sea well?”
“Yeah. Nick really liked it. Especially that tripod fish? He really liked it.”
“Tripod fish? What’s that?”
“There’s a fish with three legs.”
“There’s such a monster?”
“There was. Nick liked it. He was stroking it and trying to swallow it.”
“Blackie’s lying again as soon as he opens his mouth.”

I was caught.

“He was squatting down and saying he was going to take it.”
“Uh. Blackie’s bullshit.”

Winia, dismissing my nonsense, turned her body and sat down by Nick’s bed. And then, with her dainty hands, she stroked Nick’s head.

“…”

Her eyes were just overflowing with affection. Winia’s maternal instincts had also become stronger after giving birth. I feel like I’m going to be sucked into those cleavage.

“Winia. Who told you to make such pretty eyes.”
“My eyes were always pretty.”
“Why do you keep making it so I can’t argue back? Really, Winia. Do you want me to punish you? Are you going to keep doing that?”
“Bullshit. Come here quickly.”
“Okay.”

I also sat on the bed.

“…”

Nick was sleeping with a very peaceful face. To be able to sleep so comfortably. The eldest son’s life is just the best.

“Hehehe. Blackie.”
“Why.”
“I think our Nick is so cute because he looks like Blackie.”
“Right? But Winia. When it comes to cuteness, I think he looks more like you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Really.”
“Blackie’s so funny.”
“I’m told I’m funny all the time.”

While saying those words with Winia, I stroked Nick’s forehead as he was sleeping. This kid is really too cute. I want to tease him every time I see him. Nick. Live a long and healthy life and be teased by your dad. No matter how big he gets, Nick can’t be stronger than me. I’m going to tease him forever.

He’s truly Kim Katt, the master of eternal pranks.

“Blackie.”
“Why.”
“Thank you.”
“What’s that all of a sudden.”
“Just. For everything from A to Z.”

Winia said that while looking at me with eyes that were just dripping with happiness.

“Hehehe, thank you, I’m the one who’s thankful. You gave birth to such a cute child.”
“Blackie’s the one who made him.”

That’s true too.

“Blackie. Quickly. I’ll hug you. Bury your face in my chest.”
“Okay.”

I immediately buried my face in Winia’s cleavage.

Thank you for giving birth to a child, Winia.
