Chapter 1013 – [Winter of Growth]

Slowly prepare for the winter vacation dimension trip. I don’t want to leave in a hurry, and since I have a store, I can’t take a break right now.

The store is doing very well……. Ah, the number of customers increased quite a bit after the legendary scorched jitang the other day. It used to be a lot, but more recently.

Thanks to that, I needed time to check in the middle, so I made a separate break time. Instead, Alba has not yet been hired. It’s because it’s still at a level that I can cover enough.

However, if there were more customers here, he had to hire a part-time worker. From now on, I won’t be able to cover it at break time.

“It’s not summer, it’s winter, so I can’t rest for long this time. Two days at most? It’s four days including the weekend, so take that into account and look at the timeline.”

[That is great. The dimensional axis over there is quite tasty, and the ratio here is about 1:10.]

“No, someone’s dimension axis is so extreme? If a day here is 10 days there, can there be 40 days?”

[It’s because the dimensions around here are a bit unstable. I don’t think it would be strange if the dimensional axis broke down and a dimensional earthquake occurred the day after tomorrow]

“Oh, um…”

[What, for real?! The destruction of the dimension is unstoppable unless the owner comes personally!!!! Even a rod can destroy a dimension, but you know it can’t restore it!!!! Why didn’t you tell me earlier!!!!]

“I know dude, I know. And it’s okay because they said they restored it to some extent.”

[If the people involved said so, what…… But is it really okay? Isn’t that a big deal later?]

“If there’s a problem, then you think about it. Honestly, is that our responsibility?”

[That’s right]

If you’re going to argue with TV, it’s meaningless if you’re arguing with me. Because I can’t figure out how to do that.

Simple dimensional sealing is possible not only by absolutes, but also by general transcendentalists with knowledge, skills, or equipment. Originally, the professional manpower that does it is separate from the dimensional civilization.

However, the scale itself of dimension collapse is different, so it is difficult to touch unless you are an absolute person. Even a rod can do dimension collapse, but it’s easier to destroy than to build and maintain.

“Hmm, if the time axis is that long, I think I can go for a few days too.”

“We’ll go and clean things up for now. Come back later. If you go with us, you’ll be busy with environmental restoration at first.”

“All right”

Anyway, for a while, you can spend it as usual.

But even if I try to spend it with them, I don’t want to go out in the middle of the day because it’s cold in the winter. It’s a body that doesn’t get cold, but that and this are different things.

Eden was also in a situation where he refrained from going for walks with the goons, who usually go out almost every day. Of course, the thumping noise is no joke because they run around the house that much.

If it was an apartment, I would have said it was noisy in all directions. It is fortunate that it is a detached house.

It snowed because it was such a cold weather. It comes down quite a lot and piles up in layers, so the feeling of stepping on it is quite good. However, from the point of view of cleaning, it is a bit different.

The road outside the front door is fine, but the snow is piled up in the yard. Thanks to this, I had to carry a snow removal tool and clear the snow in the yard.

“It’s kind of like the snow removal because it reminds me of the military”

“It’s the same for me. Ever since I’ve been in the military, I can’t think of anything good when I look into your eyes.”

For a person who has served in the military, eyes are not something beautiful, but they are like garbage falling from the sky. It’s because you have to clean it up and clean it up and clean it up.

But if there’s anything better, it’s that we have to clean our yard. That’s way better than cleaning a place that’s not even my house.

I went out with my snow removal tool and started sweeping the yard. Eden dresses lightly, and she comes out with me and rolls around in the snow with the other kids.

“Mungmungah!!!! Let’s have a snow fight!!!!!!”

“Snowball fights!!!! I like it too, Zuinnim!!!!!

[No, how are you going to have an eye fight with a guy who can’t even use his hands?]

PABABABABABABAK!!!!!

At that, the goblin turned around and dug the snow with its forepaws as if digging the ground, sowed in the direction of Eden. In an instant, Eden’s head becomes covered with snow.

[…….I can do it]

[Hey, don’t fight snow, do you want to gather snow and make a snow house?]

“Wow!!!! That would be fun too!!!!!!”

“Wouldn’t it be enough eyes?”

“That too”

“Then, just bring the snow you piled up on the road, Master.”

“Oh, Adam has a great idea!!!! Let’s do it anyway!!!!!”

In response, the children gathered their strength and started making snow houses. Honestly, I also wanted to try it in the past, but I didn’t because the conditions weren’t available or it was annoying. Even now, I still have some regrets, but… Hmm.

I decided to help the kids clear the snow, so I gathered all the snow in the yard and built a snow house. First of all, in order to make it big enough for all the children to fit in, I pile up the snow by rounding it a little bigger.

“I’ve collected all the snow in the yard, but it’s still not enough. Let’s collect more!!!!!”

[If there is not enough snow, should I make it rain?]

“Hey, stop. Stop bothering other people.”

Once you go out to the road, bring the snow piled up next to you. Each of the children brought a bucket or gourd and started building snow huts.

And around lunchtime, the snow house began to be completed. The snow house, which was almost my height, was made quite nicely and seemed worthwhile.

Just in case you don’t know, spray water here to increase durability. Of course, not with warm water, but with cold water. When the weather is cold, the water will freeze and harden not only with the power of snow, but also with the power of ice.

“Wow!!!! It’s done!!!!!”

[Cool!!!!!]

“Heh heh heh, I like it too, Mr. Jjouin!!!!”

[But I think it will melt when I go in. I won’t go in, I’ll just stay by your side]

“It’s cold. I’m going home now.”

This will be a good memory too. How many photos should I take and leave?

It was time, so I decided to prepare lunch with him. The weather is cold and we played outside, so I think it would be better to have warm food. Hmmm……. Shall I boil something like a hotpot? Well, there’s meat.

If you make something like a mille-feuille hot pot, you should be able to drink the soup and eat a lot of meat and vegetables. It would be nice to warm up your body.

As I was about to enter the house, I saw a familiar child pass through the iron window of the front door. Even though it was winter vacation, and today was the weekend, it was Jihee who seemed to have gone to the academy as usual.

……. But the situation is a bit strange today. Maybe it’s because it’s cold, but her face looks pretty pale.

“Hello Jihee? Did you go to school?”

“Ah, yes…… Hello Mr.”

I remember when Ji-hee collapsed once in the past. As much as this time, she was worried about her physical condition.

“You look unwell, are you okay?”

“It’s just a little dizzy… Ah, it doesn’t hurt as much as it did when I collapsed before. It’s okay, mister.”

“That’s not okay. If it hurts even a little bit, it’s sick. Just because it’s less painful than before doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt now. Shouldn’t you be resting?”

“It’s okay………”

In fact, looking at Jihee’s condition, I want to take her to her and feed her something delicious and let her rest. But from my standpoint, I can’t force it.

Jihee is still a minor and I am a neighbor at best. Ji-hee’s parental authority is over there, so there’s not much she can do.

All I can do for my neighbors is to feed them delicious meals. Even if it’s hard, having a delicious meal will relieve your mood to some extent.

“I’m about to have lunch. Do you want to go eat together? Our lunch is hotpot.”

“No, I…”

“It’s okay. Our Eden eats a lot these days, and adding 1 or 2 more servings doesn’t take a lot of work. I’ll call your mother separately.”

“Well, then……Yes.”

I let Ji-hee into my house and give me a cup of apple tea to warm up separately. If you take one or two spoons of our homemade apple jam in warm water and dissolve it in water, it becomes a good apple tea.

It is a good tea that is good for the throat and warms the body in this cold weather, and it is easy to drink because it is sweet.

While Jihee is drinking tea, I cook. After eating rice with hot soup, your body will feel better to some extent.

“Jihee unnie!!!! This is Keter!!!!!”

-Hi?

“Uh, um… How are you?”

The kids were making faces with each other. Come to think of it, Jihee and Keter are first acquaintances. In the first place, Keter itself is still in such a situation, so there are few acquaintances.

Ji-hee sees Keter’s chest and unknowingly uses respect. It can’t be helped, since Keter’s breasts aren’t thought to be children’s, so it’s a natural reaction.

“Today’s hot pot? It’s cold, but it’s okay.”

“It’s delicious to make rice porridge with hot soup. Our Eden will eat 5 servings like that.”

“Do you have enough ingredients?”

“Don’t worry, Eden’s calculations are perfect.”

Even if I starve, it is important that Eden does not starve. What parent would fill their stomachs more than their children? If there is such a person, they are not parents in the first place.

I fill a pot full of ingredients, pour in the broth, and put it on the fire. And make another pot as a spare.

In my family, emptying one is necessary because it will take time to eat and boil again. Substitutes are a must.

And the bubbling pot started to smell delicious. The broth, the gravy from the meat, and the sweetness of the vegetables mix together to make a good soup.

“Guys, the meal is ready. Come and eat!!!!”

“Waaaaa!!! It’s rice!!!!!”

First, Eden jumps out. After that, Keter and Jihee came out.

After the children were seated, I opened the lid of the pot. In the boiling pot, the meat, vegetables, and mushrooms were deliciously cooked at a glance.

Serve each bowl in moderation and give them a bowl of rice. Oh, of course, our Eden is Eden’s exclusive gobong rice. One bowl of Eden is about 3 servings of an average person.

If you don’t do that, our Eden will empty a bowl of rice in three spoons……. Honestly, it’s a bit scary.

“I will enjoy this food”

Jihee also raised her spoon with a greeting. Shion sits among them and eats together.

No, but everyone except me looks like a kid or a kid, so the visuals are a bit like that. Zion has no sense of incongruity.

“Didn’t you think it was strange?”

“Nothing at all? Oh, would you like some more meat?”

“Hmm, the hotpot is delicious, so I’ll take a look.”

The kids ate well. Even Ji-hee, who is not in good condition, eats little by little to see if it tastes good because it is my dish and fills her stomach.

Afterwards, we ate soup, udon noodles, and porridge to fill our stomachs. Eden ate every last spoonful of porridge.

“It was yummy!!!!!”

“So, did our Eden eat well?”

“Ugh!!!! But what about dessert?”

“Do you have yogurt made by your father in the fridge? Mix it with your favorite jam and eat it.”

“Wow! It looks delicious!!!!!!”

It’s delicious if you eat yogurt with jam. In my house, there are grape jam, strawberry jam, and apple jam, so you will have a taste to choose from.

Keter followed Eden’s footsteps, and Ji-hee also went with him, but no.

“Hey, Mister. Can I use the bathroom for a minute?”

“Sure, do you know where the bathroom is in my house?”

“Yes, I know.”

Ji-hee stopped by my house a few times, but I still know the location of the bathroom. I let her go to her bathroom and tidy up her bed.

Thanks to that, only me and Shion were left at the table. At least Shion is helping me to organize the table.

“Miss Ji-hee looks bad. Are you okay? Isn’t she collapsing like last time?”

“So, just in case you don’t know, I’m going to take a chance and inject some energy into it. Then it’ll get better.”

“The most fundamental solution is to let the child rest.”

“Would the parents of that house do that?”

The baby’s dad is a workaholic with no interest in the kid and her baby’s mom is rolling her kid to fill her vanity.

In such a situation, even if she is sick, she will not give proper attention. I’ll look at it for a second and see if it’s not a big deal or I’ll just skip it.

Abusing a child is not just abuse. Indifference, and excessive attention, is also abuse when it comes to children.

There are too many parents in the world who don’t know such obvious and simple things. And they end up paying for it in one way or another.

Lost in thought for a while, I reflexively raised my head and headed for the bathroom.

“Quaaaaa”

It’s Jihee’s scream. I hurriedly run to the bathroom and knock on the door.

“Jihee, what’s going on? Are you okay?”

“Hmm, aaaaa…”

I hear a child crying I don’t know if I heard my voice or not, but even if I couldn’t hear it, I had to go in, and even if I heard it, it was clear that it was the same situation as there was no answer.

“I’m coming in, uncle”

And when I opened the bathroom and went in, I saw blood on the toilet with a fishy smell. Next to him was Jihee, who had fallen down and was crying.

When I saw that and looked at my mind for a moment thinking who said it was an attack, I thought I was really good at fighting.

But after a few seconds, realizing that there was no chance of that, I started to assess the situation again, and soon I knew what had happened. And I immediately closed the bathroom door and called Shion.

“Zion!!!!!”

“What happened?”

Shion, who followed belatedly, asked with a questioning and worried expression. I decided to put Ji-Hoon in the bathroom as Shion to comfort her.

“Take care of Jihee. I don’t think this is a part that I, as a man, can do.”

“……Ah, but I won’t do that anyway.”

“Still, it’s better to have the same woman take care of it. It’s like I can’t change into a woman in front of Jihee. Instead, I’ll bring some clothes for the baby to change into. Take care of Jihee. Oh, I’ll bring a sanitary napkin as well.”

“All right”

It was a one-time happening, and in a way, it was also something to be happy about.

Ji-hee has become a bit of an adult today.
