Chapter 71 – Will It Be Difficult?

Mawang and Sehee sat face to face at a table for four. Se-hee, her youngest child, placed her spoons in her cutlery box in front of her older sister and herself, as well as each one of them next to her.

Feeling anxious for some reason, I asked the demon king.

“Again, who is coming?”

“Is that so?”

“Who, who?”

“My mother and father. You said your father wanted to see you.”

With my daughter!

As soon as she finished her words, the bell in her doorway rang. Standing there was her mother, who always showed off her goddess-like figure, and the father of the demon king, whom she had only seen through video calls.

“Oh, Mr. Jiheon!”

A beauty with long silver hair like a demon king and a neat atmosphere recognized me. She was neatly dressed, just like her daughters. A long white dress that reached her ankles and a fashion point with a belt around her waist. No way college student
She exuded the air of a young lady, which I would not have thought of as a married woman with a daughter.

“Jiheon-ah, isn’t this the first time you’ve seen it in person like this?”

My father was not much different from the last time I saw him on a video call. A kind face with short hair like a soldier. But below that, my impression was completely different. Like an actor-turned-governor, he has a very sturdy body and a suit
It was because he was dressed up.

“Ah yes.”

The meeting itself was awkward, and he bowed his head while embarrassed by his body like a former mercenary.

“Hello.”

“Yes, nice to meet you.”

He smiled and held out his hand as if to shake my hand. I held my father’s hand with both hands.

Aww!

“Kuk!”

Suddenly, my father gave strength to his hand. A considerable amount of grip, commensurate with its size, crushed my hand. The pain felt like being squeezed by a juicer. However, I put strength on the back of my hand to prevent it from being crushed.

“Okay.”

If you don’t let go of my hand for a while, my father will let go. Then he smiled approvingly and patted me on the shoulder.

“Are you pretty?”

“Yes?”

He smiled at me and headed towards his daughters.

“Can I sit here? Honey, let’s sit here.”

“Maybe?”

“Stay still.”

Her father made her mother stand and, in her manners, pulled out her chair behind her for her to sit on.

“Thank you.”

“No.”

And when she sat down, he pushed her to the table. After finishing the action that can be seen in a high-end restaurant, the father moved next to the demon king. He asked, sitting next to his eldest daughter.

“Sohee, did you order?”

“Yes I did. With four pieces of pork soup.”

“Okay. Good job.”

While praising, I stroked the demon king’s silver hair. She squinted her eyes and enjoyed her touch, then avoided her hand as soon as she met mine.

“No, Dad… !”

“Huh?”

A surprised expression appeared on his father’s well-mannered face, probably not knowing that he would be rejected. Then he looked at me and smiled and stroked his daughter’s hair again.

“Look at how shy you are about having a boyfriend! Ahahaha!”

Even his hearty smile resembles the devil. No, it is correct to say that the Demon King resembles his father.

“Oh right.”

The laughing father hurriedly got up from his seat as if he remembered something.

“Honey, Jiheon should greet his parents.”

“Yes! Did Sohee and Sehee say hello?”

“Yes.”

“Sure.”

When the demon king’s parents said their daughters said hello, they turned their heads to me.

“Jiheon, are your parents over there?”

“Yes? Ah yes!”

“Then, shall we go see each other?”

“So be it.”

They walked to the kitchen where my mom and dad were. But along the way, I bumped into my mother coming out of the kitchen.

When her mother saw her mother, who had the same silver hair as the demon king, she recognized who they were.

“Oh! Hello!”

When she bowed her head in greeting, the Demon King’s parents also bowed their heads.

“Hello.”

“Hello, these are the parents of Sohee and Sehee.”

“Ah yes! I am Jiheon’s mother.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes?”

“I thought Jiheon was an older sister.”

“Oh my goodness! Oh-ho-ho-ho!”

At the compliment, my mother smiled like a typical auntie. The mother, who had been laughing a lot, came to her senses and looked after the demon king’s parents. Unlike him, she was wearing a suit. She couldn’t help but apologize.

“I’m sorry, I would have dressed up too if I had known you were coming.”

Just like working at a restaurant, Mom was wearing jeans and a stretched T-shirt that were comfortable for work. But her father smiled and apologized.

“No. It was our fault that came suddenly.”

“Nevertheless.”

“Never mind. Because he only cared about our schedule, he came to visit us without contacting us. Sorry.”

“I’m sorry, mother.”

When even her goddess apologized, her mother didn’t know what to do, but she accepted the apology.

“Okay, okay. So please raise your head.”

At that, her father raised his head and said with a refreshing smile.

“Wouldn’t that be good? I think we will see each other often.”

“Yes? What is that…”

“There is such a thing. Something like that.”

She smiled meaningfully as the mother of the demon king. Her father also smiled like that, then touched her and said to her mother.

“We will now go to our seats. Sorry to interrupt your work.”

“No! We are more sorry!”

“You have nothing to apologize for.”

“That’s right. Please make the soup delicious.”

“Yes! I’ll make it delicious! If you have a seat, I’ll bring it to you right away!”

“You can do it slowly. Slowly.”

“Ah! By the way, mother.”

“Yes?”

Suddenly my mother pointed at me.

“Can I have a meal with Jiheon? My boyfriend said he wanted to have dinner with Jiheon, but he leaves Korea tomorrow.”

“Sure! Sure! If you have any inconvenience, ask him!”

“Can there be any inconvenience? Excuse me then.”

With those words, the demon king’s parents put me in their hands. When they looked behind me, my mother slapped me on the back.

Jap!

“Evil! Why are you hitting me?!”

“What’re you doing! Come on, follow me!”

“I was going to go anyway!”

I grumbled and followed my parents. When we arrived at the table where Mawang and Sehee were sitting, my father asked while pulling a chair from the empty table.

“Jiheon-ah, can I bring a chair?”

“Ah yes. Sure.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Then, I put a chair in the aisle where people pass by. I thought that was my place. However, my father sat down and invited me to sit next to the Demon King.

“Sit next to Sohee, Jiheon.”

“There?”

“Yes, there. Come on, sit down.”

He even pointed to me with his hand and encouraged me, but I couldn’t help but sit down. As I sat next to the demon king, she smiled mischievously and stabbed me in the side.

“Welcome.”

“Huh?”

Come to think of it, that was what I said when she came in earlier.

In the meantime, Se-hee dropped the spoon to her father, and the interview began.

“Jiheon.”

When he called me, he straightened his back and answered.

“Yes, Father!”

“Haha! You can’t be so nervous. Relax. You weren’t nervous the last time we talked on the phone, why are you like that?”

At the time, I didn’t know that you were such a big person.

Of course, I didn’t say that. Still, as my father said, I relaxed my body.

“Ah, yes, I see.”

“Yes, Jiheon. I will only ask you this.”

He asked with a friendly smile.

“If Sohee is in danger, can you save her by sacrificing your life?”

He answered without the slightest hesitation.

“Will it be difficult?”

“Are you crazy!”

Baek!

The demon king shouted and slapped me on the back of the head. I hit it so hard that I thought my eyes would pop out with the recoil.

“Keugh… !”

I stroked the back of my head in shock as if I had been beaten with a rock, and answered my father’s question.

“As you can see, Sohee is older than me.

“Uh?”

My father gave me a puzzled look at my answer. I kept talking even after seeing it.

“If So-hee is also in unavoidable danger, even if I help her, it won’t be enough. Still.”

“Hey!”

She was about to hit me again, but I grabbed her hand to stop it.

“I know it won’t work, but I will help. I will give my life, of course.”

“!”

At my words, the demon king opened his blue eyes wide in surprise. Then he blushed and slowly lowered his head. She and her family stared at us with dumbfounded expressions for a while, starting with her father who burst into laughter.

“… Under! Ahaha!”

After less than a minute of silence, my father burst into laughter. Not only that, he started laughing even at Se-hee and his mother, who had the same expression as him.

Haha! Hot hot hot hot!”

He laughed so hard that he even sighed in agony. My father, who had laughed almost to the point of tears, looked at me stealing his eyes.

“I didn’t know you would answer like that, I didn’t know. Really. Big!”

Now, he cleared his throat, as if he was going to have a serious talk.

“What can I do with words? Still, it’s a hundred times better than saying I’ll keep it unconditionally. Huh. Any drinks here?

Father looked around the restaurant and looked around. I got up, noticing what he wanted.

“I’ll get it for you!”

“No, it’s okay. What to do with our prospective son-in-law? I’ll bring it.”

“Yes?”

“Jiheon, please stay still.”

My mother looked at me with a kind smile. Sehee, who was sitting next to him, was also laughing, but for some reason, it was a smile that reminded me of the lion idiom, fisherman’s geography.

Bang!

Suddenly, my father slammed several bottles of soju on the table. And as he sat down he spoke to me.

“Preliminary son-in-law! Glass!”

“Now, a cup?”

“Okay! Glass!”

I reached for the cup I had set beforehand in the corner of the table.

Let’s touch a small glass of soju,

“Mmm! Not that.”

“Uh, then what is this?”

I picked up a stainless steel water cup.

“Write!”

“… This one?”

Just in case, I grabbed a beer glass much bigger than a water glass.

“Okay! That!”

“You’re telling me to just drink it from a bottle?!”

Oh, I was so embarrassed that my inner feelings came out. But my father seemed to like it.

“Okay! So that’s it!”

Knock!

“Receive!”

“Ah? Alas, yes.”

Once got sick.

Just then, as if the soup was ready, her mother came over. However, her mother, who came empty-handed, called the demon king’s father.

“Here, father.”

“Why are you like this, in-law!”

“Yes? No, Sa, in-laws?”

“Yes. Sorry for the suddenness, but I really like Jiheon here! That’s why I’m trying to make my daughter a future son-in-law!”

“No, but it’s too sudden.”

“Then you can talk slowly! But why did you call me?”

“Since all the other guests have left, I was going to ask if you would like to have a meal with us… “

Hearing that, I looked around her. The customers who had been seated at the three tables had already left, and Dad, who had only sharpened knives in the kitchen, was on his way to the room Mom had pointed to, carrying a large tray of pork meat.

The room she pointed to was the room she had to take off her shoes to enter as she said. So, she often dine out at several tables in succession, and in that case, she should set it up like that now… ?!

You didn’t serve rice soup and prepared that! Somehow he didn’t come too much!

Demon king father, who saw the same scene as me, smiled kindly and laughed from his seat.

“Hot hot hot! Then we can talk slowly over there! In-law!”

When my father woke up, along with my mother and Sehee, the demon king also woke up. When I got up too, her father called her father who had moved the body.

“Ah, in-laws! Have a meal with us!”

“…”

But Dad looked at him in silence, then took another step. The place Dad headed was not the kitchen, but the refrigerator full of alcohol.

Jump!

Dad put his hand deep inside it and pulled out a luxurious-looking liquor.

“…”

After showing it to the demon king’s family, Dad went back into the room. When my father saw that, he laughed heartily again.

“Hot hot hot! Even if you are silent, you know me well! I’m ashamed of myself for trying to celebrate with soju! Let’s go, son-in-law!”

“…”

“Ah! I work here! My son-in-law also got a business card!”

“Yes yes. … Sohee. What is a PMC?”

“There is such a thing. Try searching later Sehee, eat some of this. Delicious.”

“My brother’s mother gave it to me earlier. Are you okay.”

“Oh my, Master gave it to you? How can you be so kind!”

“What a compliment! Oh ho ho! By the way, I didn’t know that our Jiheon would date a girlfriend like this! Because he’s a young naive! Sohee, you will have a hard time dating our Jiheon!”

“No. Even though Jiheon is a bit naive, she’s not like that anywhere.”

“Hey!”

“Hot hot hot! I’ll be able to see some ultrasound pictures soon! Take this, in-laws! Jam!”

“… Jjam”
