## Chapter 1721 – Chronicles of a Black-Haired Foreigner – The Life of a Transcender

“Hehehe, I love it so much, Katt.”

ㅡFlap flap.

Claudie’s ears are flapping like wings. No lie, she’s this happy about the idea of holding my exhibition. How can my girl be so cute? It’s almost unbearable.

“Claudie…! You’re so cute!”
“Eh, uh? Out of the blue?”
“You’re so happy about holding my exhibition! I can’t forgive that!”
“Aah! Katt-eut!”

I immediately activated ‘Give me a hug’ and pulled Claudie into my arms. How can someone be this lovely!

“Who told you to be so cute! Huh!”
“Aaaah! Katt, it tickles!”

I hugged Claudie tightly, as if restraining her, and gently scratched and licked her flapping ears with my teeth. Claudie was spasming and enjoying it.

“Hyaaah…!”

Her ears are very sensitive. And they taste so good. It felt so good to lick this sensual texture.

“Claudie. Let’s hold that exhibition every year from now on. Every year. The internet’s connected here, right? People from Earth can participate as much as they want.”
“Yeah… the internet’s the best…”

The internet has connected the world and even dimensions. Truly a unified world.

“But Claudie. Are you going to do it online, or offline?”
“Uh, uhm… if possible, I’d like to see the real thing. But considering the circumstances, it seems like we should do it online.”
“You want to do it offline, but you’re saying online because of the circumstances?”
“Huh?”
“Do what you want, do what you want. If an offline exhibition is what you want, why do something else?”
“B-but, Katt? Earthlings still aren’t fully allowed to come here, right? It’s a little much to summon artists just because I’m a queen…”

Earthlings aren’t fully allowed to travel to this world yet, and people from here aren’t fully allowed to travel to Earth either.

I’m planning to slowly introduce cultural and technological exchanges before gradually opening things up. Claudie seems to think it’s a bit much to call Earth artists in this situation.

“Hehehe, Claudie. Why worry about something like that? If this Kim Katt wants it, that’s all that matters.”
“Really, Katt? Would you do that?”
“Anything for Claudie. Then let’s do it offline. We’ll do a first round of judging for the paintings and artworks, and then have the ones who pass bring their stuff over here. How’s that?”

As I said that,

“Katt…!”

Claudie almost cried as she rejoiced.

“I love you! Thank you so much! My Katt is the coolest and kindest in the world!”
“Hehehe, you’re stating the obvious.”

I hugged Claudie tightly as she rubbed her face against my neck.

“But seriously, do you like seeing my creations that much?”
“Yeah! I’m going to collect them all! I love seeing them and collecting them.”
“Was pillaging the goal?”

As expected of a dark elf warrior from the desert.

“Inviting them here will definitely draw a huge crowd! Hehehe! All I have to do is pick the artworks from among them! Ah! I have to officially announce this soon!”
“Let’s do that.”

I stroked Claudie’s adorable head. The way she’s chattering like a little bird is truly heart-attack inducing.

“Haa… Katt. I think the internet is fun after all. It’s attractive. It’s worth spending about an hour a day on.”
“The First Queen of the Cheonma Shin-guk is investing an hour of her day. That’s amazing, isn’t it?”
“Right? Especially when Katt’s photos are uploaded on the bulletin board, and people leave comments? It’s really fun to sneak in and leave comments there. Everyone recognizes me and agrees with me.”

The absolute epitome of a fixed nickname.

* * *

And Claudie announced that she would be holding an art exchange between Earth and Cheonma Shin-guk.

The theme is Kim Katt. Anyone who can do art can participate, and if they pass the first round of judging, even Earthlings can come to Cheonma Shin-guk. The entire Earth went wild at that news.

Earthlings are already very interested in Cheonma Shin-guk. Photos and books have been brought back to Earth, but very few Earthlings have actually come here. But they can come if they’re good at art, so it’s natural for them to go wild.

The site is already about to crash. Countless people have submitted applications. Seeing that, Claudie smiled so wide her mouth almost tore and was so happy.

Now all she has to do is look at the artworks they send and choose.

Anyway.

A family meeting was called in response to the announcement of a citizen-participatory Kim Katt exhibition.

“I have to participate as a judge too! Claudie! You’re trying to monopolize this opportunity!”

Liz shouted.

Claudie said she would be the only judge, so she threatened to do it too.

“But! Liz doesn’t really collect Katt merchandise! I collect a lot!”
“Still, I have to participate in an opportunity like this. Artworks with our Katt as the theme are coming out, so I must see and judge them myself!”
“Ugh!”

Not only Liz, but everyone was clamoring to be a judge.

“Unnie just likes everything she sees, so she can’t make objective judgments. So I want to do it too.”
“Winia…!”
“I’m doing it too! They’re paintings brought by renowned artists, so I can’t stand not judging them myself!”

Following Winia, even Karin.

“Kuh!”

Claudie wanted to be the only judge, but it couldn’t be helped.

“Hehehe, give up. Claudie. Everyone will be a judge together.”
“B-but! I brought it up! So I’ll do the awards ceremony and announce the winner!”

Claudie, greatly disappointed, claimed her last right.

“Hehehe, so be it. As the organizer, you must do that.”
“That’s right. It’s a natural right. The person who brought it up first should do things like that. By the way, a Seongdo-nim exhibition. That sounds so good.”

Well, she can do this much. Claudie smiled again when she got permission.

“She’s really happy. Hehehe, it’s cute because it’s like Claudie.”
“Very cute indeed.”

Liz and Risha smiled as they watched Claudie.

Anyway.

“Good. There’s no particular problem with advocating cultural exchange with Earth. It’s not bad to narrow the distance slowly like this.”

Kadie said with satisfaction.

“Honestly, I’d say it’s a good idea. Doing things like this often will definitely bring us closer to Earth. That’s the path to Fusion Confucianism, so we need to prepare properly.”
“That’s right. Everyone clap. Clapping.”

Ari made a sound with her mouth and clapped.

ㅡClap clap.
ㅡClap clap.
ㅡClap clap.

Everyone clapped happily.

“And I definitely want to see those creations. Earthlings’ painting culture is pretty good.”
“Right, right. When you see what they draw, they draw very well. This is cultural infiltration! We need to make Earthlings more familiar with Katt-nim to achieve the integration of ideologies!”
“Hehehe, you know well.”

Cultural infiltration is the best.

Well, there’s a newly discovered dimension recently anyway. The one I went to with Diele. To quickly take over places like that, we need to actively use this cultural power.

“I hope this will connect Earth and Cheonma Shin-guk more closely.”
“Yeah! Of course!”

Claudie answered loudly to Elise’s words.

“Then let’s all start preparing.”

For the exhibition.

* * *

“Nikniknik. Dad’s going to have an exhibition.”
“Wh-what…?”

I went straight to Nick and told him that.

“What is this man even saying?”

Nick said with a lot of wariness.

“This man? You little punk. Is that how you call your dad?”
“Wait. Hold on. Wait. Dad. I think I know what Dad is going to say. So give me some time to calm down. So I can judge properly and talk.”
“Unfortunately, Nick. I want you to draw something for me too.”
“I KNEW IT!!!!! I KNEW THIS MAN WOULD SAY THAT!!!!”

Nick, reacting exaggeratedly, screamed as if in despair. This punk, I thought his adolescence was over, but his overreactions have increased. Well, that’s proof that he inherited my blood.

“I knew it from the moment you said exhibition!!!”
“You predicted it well, but you also know you can’t escape, right?”
“Is this forced participation!”
“So you weren’t going to participate? Is this kid out of his mind?”
“Dad must be out of his mind!”
“Hey, hey. Don’t be like that. You like Earth culture, don’t you?”

My children have been exposed to Earth culture since they were young, so they just take Earth culture itself for granted and naturally.

Movies and everything. We’ve watched them together since they were young.

“Earthlings are coming in droves to create works related to this dad, so let’s add a little bit to it.”
“I understand what you’re saying, but what should I make!”
“Anything. Mom and the aunties will all like it.”
“Damn it…!”
“Hehehe, I’ll look forward to it.”

I immediately massaged Nick’s shoulders and said,

“Who knows? Maybe you’ll find a secret artistic talent hidden inside you? It would be good if you could go in that direction, right? This is all part of finding your talent.”

This is very important.

Children should have various experiences when they are young or in their teens. That way, they can decide what they want to do when they grow up. You can only decide well if you know and decide.

Trying this and that. And seeing various things. That is my educational philosophy.

Even now. I’m not trying to force Nick to do something to harass him. I’m trying to give him as many experiences as possible to find his aptitude.

“I don’t know why I have to use that talent finding to draw Dad!”
“Shut up! Draw if I tell you to!”
“Aaaagh!”
