Chapter 1045 – [Winter of Growth]

The day after the couple, who seemed like uninvited guests, had an accident, we loaded the coffin of Mrs. Kim Ryu-hwa into a bier and headed to the crematorium. Watch her coffin go into a neat and well-built crematorium and wait in the waiting room for about an hour until it is completely burned.

While waiting, we talked about this and that, but the story that bothered me the most was the story of the guys who were there yesterday.

“It looks like he was driving excitedly and hit the wall by mistake. Because the car is old, the airbags don’t work properly, and the seatbelts aren’t working, so both are said to be seriously injured.”

“Aren’t you dead?”

“It’s not fatal, but you have to think about being disabled for the rest of your life.”

“It’s fine”

Even if he kills indirectly with a curse, it is still too early for Eden to kill.

Of course, if he grows up, someday Eden will have his own blood on his hands. The world is not so easy, and if you become a transcendent, you will commit murder at least once among them.

Gilhyun and Gray also basically have the motto of non-killing, but they kill when they can’t help it and have murder experiences. That’s why even those who hate killing people do murder, but our Eden can’t be forever clean.

Not now, though. At least after growing up a bit more. If you think that you have to see, experience, and judge yourself to risk the lives of others, then it is not the right time.

Murder is bad, but… There are things you can’t help.

“Oh, Dad. I think it’s done.”

The TV in the waiting room said that Mrs. Kim Ryu-hwa’s makeup was finished. What remains of her is the bone marrow process of arranging the remaining bone powder after cremation.

We went down from the waiting room and headed for the skull room. Through the glass window, you can see the bone marrow process, and the fine bone powder is carefully collected and placed in the ossuary.

Then wrap it in a fine cloth and return it. It was quite heavy, but Eden accepted the ashes.

“Dad, this is hot”

“It’s because I just put on makeup.”

“Grandma was bigger than me, now I’m bigger than her grandmother”

Eden seemed to be thinking about this and that while looking at the ashes in his arms.

This will be the second time Eden will see the death of her close friend. The first was Mangmung and the second is now. In the meantime, Mangmungi reunited again, so the case is different from this time.

What will Eden think?

Only Eden would know. However, it is my heart that I want them to grow up properly by using that as food.

After receiving the urn, we headed to the ossuary. I was wondering which ossuary to enshrine, but there is a charnel house made separately by the Cheonmuhoe.

“This is the place where the dead are enshrined for the Moon and for the Cheonmuhoe. We’ve reserved a good place for you, so go there.”

Thanks to that, there seemed to be no worries about the ossuary. Of course, if you have money, you can put it in a good position, but getting it in the position you want is another matter.

We arrived at the ossuary by moving in a group by tour bus. On the other hand, the place decorated like a park seemed like a fun place to look around quietly.

As we had talked about beforehand, we went inside the building with the guidance of the staff of the ossuary. And use a cabinet in a sunny location.

The place is in the middle. Just as there is a royal floor in an apartment, the middle part is the best. If you put it too low, you have to bend your back, and if you put it too high, you have to lift your head, which is inconvenient.

Place the urn you brought into the cabinet. Here, artificial flowers and various things to remember the deceased and for the deceased are put and closed.

With this, the funeral is almost finished. I greeted the mourners one by one and concluded the funeral. The funeral, which seemed long, ended like this.

Post-processing should be done slowly. There’s nothing urgent anyway.

When I return home after a long time from work like that, I really feel that the funeral is over. Eve and Keter, who were looking at the house, came to meet them.

“Are you home, father?”

[I suffered for 3 days]

“What, what do I have to do?”

And the kids, including Mangmungi, come running. Since Mang-mung is a dog, I expected the reaction to be intense, but three days must have been quite a long time.

“Jjouin nim!!!!”

“You’re here. Why are you so late?”

[It went well. Aren’t you tired?]

“Have you been, Master?”

Mangmungi, Kkoyangi, Yesto, and Adam. Looking at the children lined up like this, there are many members of my family. If you add Eve and Keter together, it’s not six. If you add us, there are 9 people, so it’s almost 10 people.

I don’t know since when I became such a glutton. Still, the more the family, the better, so that’s okay.

“Eden, aren’t you hungry? Would you like lunch?”

“Ugh… I’m hungry”

“……No, what?”

It was lunch time, so I was about to eat something, but Eden said that he would not eat.

What? Did I hear wrong? If you recommend something to eat, our Eden who eats and sees doesn’t want to eat?

Even this morning, Eden ate a handful of rice with Yukgaejang. At least I ate moderately because I had to go to make-up.

“Are you sure you’re not going to eat it? Really?”

“Uh… That’s not good”

“Is something wrong, my daughter? Are you sick?”

“It’s just that I have no appetite.”

“……This is a big deal. Shouldn’t you go to the hospital?”

Eden’s anomaly is surprising, but there are still things to guess.

It seems that the demerit that cursed those rude relative couples came yesterday. Originally, the recoil was different from that, but… I expected a fairly large reaction if I made the opponent disabled, but it seems that it ended with the loss of appetite.

Well, on the one hand, a curse is to change the fate of others. As much as that, of course, the backflow of fate, to put it in terms of this side, comes.

Like in the movie Final Destination, if a person who is supposed to die survives for some reason, the cause and effect changes to kill them again due to the reversal of fate. There is no existence other than the transcendental person who can go against the predestined fate.

For Eden, who is still mortal, that reaction came. However, looking at the low level of recoil, whether or not the Absolute of Destiny has provided convenience…… To be honest, it’s a bit ambiguous.

“But it won’t be permanent. It’ll get better after a while.”

“But if you leave it like that, the child will starve. Is that okay?”

“Actually, Eden shouldn’t die even if she starves anymore. She can live without eating at the point where she has already realized the ability of ‘transformation'”

If she converts the calories she consumes into ether, then vice versa. All she had to do was convert the ether she had into heat or water and supply it to her body.

If she really starves to death, she will use her ability like that even out of survival instinct. Doing it backwards is easier than you think.

First of all, the other kids seem hungry, so I feed them. Only I was starving. No matter how responsible they are for what they have done, they receive the backlash of the curse, but still, as a parent, food does not go into their mouths even though their daughter is starving.

“I’m done eating too”

“Why not?”

“I am of the same mind as you.”

“My wife who has a lot of appetite is a big deal”

“There are times when I am hungry too.”

Today’s lunch is fried rice. I’ve been away for a while and there are ingredients that have run out of freshness in the refrigerator, so I make them to deal with them. Of course, just because the freshness has fallen doesn’t mean it’s bad, but if possible, it’s better to process these materials at once.

Wash the kimchi set aside, remove the seasoning, and chop finely. The leftovers of meat and vegetables are also finely chopped and used as ingredients for fried rice.

Since fried rice itself contains oil, it needs something to make it feel greasy like kimchi. It’s not like it’s kimchi fried rice. This is because the seasoning for kimchi is also washed off and the amount is relatively small, so it is not the main ingredient.

Just decent fried rice. However, since it includes meat, vegetables, and kimchi, there is no way that it is not tasty. Here, a fried egg is also made half-cooked and served on top of the fried rice.

“I’ll eat well, father.”

[Five!!!! Looks delicious!!!!!]

“Yes, eat a lot.”

Eden only sucked her finger while watching the kids eating delicious fried rice. It’s not like she doesn’t have an appetite, but it’s pretty strange.

“If you want to eat, eat, Eden.”

“Wow Woo Woong, I don’t want to eat it, but I don’t want to eat.

“If it looks delicious, doesn’t it mean you have an appetite? But why don’t you want to eat it?”

“That’s it…… Ah!!!! I can’t explain it!!!!!”

“Well, he has an appetite, but he feels contradictory pain when combined with the curse’s demerit. It’s a curse reaction that’s perfect for Eden.”

Each person has different values. If Eden receives a physical injury as a demerit of the curse, I can prevent it in advance or treat it right away even if he is injured, so the hurdle is much lower than others.

Even if his arm is broken, other people will go to the hospital and take weeks to heal. Eden can be treated in seconds. But it’s strange that the values ​​are the same.

However, for Eden, who likes to eat, the pain of not being able to eat food right in front of him is greater than anyone else. To the point where I’d rather have a broken arm.

“Eden, that’s the price you pay for cursing others. So it’s up to you to accept and endure it”

“Uh………”

“Now do you see how terrifying things like curses are?”

“I won’t use it carelessly in the future.”

“You mean you write anyway?”

“But you never know if you will meet people like that uncle and auntie yesterday?

“You know our Eden well”

Yes, there are many such people in this world.

There is a lot of trash that has crossed the line that should not be crossed with dirt feet and trampled on it. At least, in a society where fists are close, it would be enough to crush them with a fist, but in a society based on the rule of law, it becomes difficult to treat such people as being protected by the law.

In that respect, Curse of Eden was a very good technique. Even if we put aside the reaction, there is no evidence or trace left because what was caused by the curse is dismissed as an accident or misfortune.

There is a possibility that it will be discovered at least in the dimensional civilization, but that is an exception there from the beginning.

Except for the recoil, it would be a waste to be president without using a technology that has advantages. As Eden lives, the day will come when he will use the curse again.

“So you have to think a lot when you use it. The level and degree of use, and even the reaction.

“Okay!!!!”

And Eden’s curse reaction continued until noon the next day.

Thanks to this, Eden went hungry all day. The only thing I can drink is water. In the meantime, Eden couldn’t eat dinner or late-night snack, and he could barely eat dinner the next day.

Because of that, Zion and I were also able to eat together with Eden. They say I don’t have to eat, but Shion had a body, so he had to eat, but he suffered.

“Every time Eden writes a curse, her mother will have to starve too.”

“Mom, you can eat it!!!!!”

“Where is a mother whose daughter is starving and her food goes beyond her? So don’t use that often.”

“Ugh!!! Okay!!!!!”

A lot has happened this winter.

Suhyeok, who is like Eden’s younger brother, was also born, and Mrs. Kim Ryu-hwa, who cared for Eden like her family, passed away.

Seeing the birth of her life and her death, Eden saw many things. She and she built her experience through what happened there.

Now winter is over and spring is coming. Spring is a season of trials that only those who have survived winter can face. As if I didn’t call the road that came up as a concept of an ordeal a winter road for nothing, winter was a symbolic season.

And Eden deserved to go through that winter and enjoy her spring. But next time winter comes.

Each of these growths will make Eden fatter. And she hopes it will be a great help to reach the transcendent one day.

“Suddenly, Eden is also a third year student.”

“No, come to think of it, I’ve already gone through half of elementary school.”

“Time flies. It seems like yesterday when Eden was just walking.”

“If she attends another three years, she will be a middle school student.”

“After three more years there, I am a high school student and an adult.”

No, the Absolute of Time. Is it you again?

Well, I know that if you hear it, you will tell me not to argue with the time you feel. Just kidding. But I couldn’t help but feel like time was passing so quickly.

Eden is growing. To be honest, it’s a little too fast for her to grow up, but when she grows up later, I look forward to the day when she and I can drink together with Shion.

On that day, she, like Eden, will unpack Horizon’s precious collections. You should drink it on such a good day, but if you don’t drink it, there’s no reason to keep it.

“We need to prepare a few bottles of rare liquor from our collection.”

“Because if you leave it alone, it’s only for decoration or tech use. You should drink it on days like anniversaries.”

“Since I’m drinking, I want to drink something like Eden’s comb after it’s matured.”

“Strictly speaking, Fairy Tears are made by Nature Garden or Lou-Beana…… Shall we try it later when Eden improves his cooking skills?”

It is the wine made by Eden. She is very interested. Just as I have a drink that I personally make, if Eden improves his cooking skills, he will make it himself without being recommended.

But if Eden makes alcohol, I think we won’t give it to anyone and just drink it all by ourselves. No, it’s a waste, so how can I give it to you?

I can understand how Phantom felt when he drank almost all of Cienne’s liquor by himself. That bastard, that’s why he did that shit.

“The new year is coming, and I hope next year will be a good one.”

“That’s something we’ll have to wait and see”

“If you talk like that, you won’t come down the hall.”

“Honestly, it depends on what the old virgin hysterical woman who is the absolute destiny of fate changes according to what she does, isn’t it meaningless?”

“What will you do if you don’t have luck next year after saying that?”

“Tell me to do it. If G did it, would he do it to me? Would he do it to you or Eden?”

If you make mistakes while making mistakes, I will transfer with my family. Behave well

Before I was loaded, I was Eul, but now I’m Super Eul. I, who can slaughter a transcendent less than Lord, am now the absolute best Joker of fate.

If I make up my mind and transfer, it will be a loss for the absolute person of fate. That is why she has nothing to do with Zion or Eden.

………But I really hope that next year won’t be too bad.

Suddenly, chills go down my spine!!!!!
