Chapter 1407 – [Crazy Heroine Trouble Calling the Storm!!!]

When it was afternoon and the sun was about to set, Zion and Eden came to the store as they had contacted.

Eden looked around the changed store and her eyes lit up.

“Wow!!! Has it changed so much?”

“Which Eden do you prefer, before or after the change?”

“I think this is better. It has a sophisticated feel.”

It’s nice that it’s cleaner than before. Some people may not like this, but that’s a matter of taste.

Jihee greeted Zion and Eden. In particular, Eden’s expression was even more welcoming, perhaps because he had a story to hear.

“Hello, Auntie. How is Eden?”

“Hello Jihee unnie!!!! First time seeing you after a trip!!!!”

“I heard about it from the uncle, but he said he went to Moorim? How is it?”

“The rice was delicious!!!! I ate a bear sole!!!!”

“Wow, really? How did it taste?”

Putting aside the chatter between the young kids for a while, Shion and I had a drink while watching the two of us happily.

Me and Xion are parent lines, so it’s a little bit like we’re talking about the kids. Even if we talk later, not now.

“Is the store okay?”

“Is it good? I should have made it like this before.”

“There’s no fun in changing if you start with the best one”

“Anyway, since you made a good store, I’ll show off my skills. Eat a lot.”

“I think I did a good job filling the store with ingredients.”

I prepared a nice dinner for Zion and Eden. If the food was open today, it was trimmed enough to open, but since Eden is there, it is reduced to a meal.

My daughter’s food intake is increasing day by day…… I’m worried about that.

“Eden. Every time you eat, you subconsciously use your abilities to keep going in. Don’t you want to control it voluntarily?”

“I can do it, but then I can only eat a little bit of delicious food, right?”

“I can do it…Well, there’s no way I can’t.”

“I’ll use it when I have little to eat, though.”

After all, my daughter is serious about food.

It’s me who suffers anyway. There is no shortage of money for food, so there is no problem. If you can eat a lot, you can eat it.

But don’t binge eat. If Eden wants to eat, she can eat forever, but if she doesn’t, she can control herself, but if she goes beyond that and becomes a glutton, it will be a big problem.

If you think of Kirby’s cosmic horror version, it might be something like that…… Then it would be a bit scary.

Anyway, after eating at the newly renovated shop, it was time to head back. Ji-hee, who was going to walk back because she ate a lot at lunch, decided to go back to the car just like when she came, perhaps because she moved her body while preparing ingredients.

“Then Jihee. See you when the shop opens.”

“Yes, Mister. See you next time. Eden goes well too. Goodbye, Mrs.”

“See you next time, Jihee unnie!!!”

“It’s rush hour, so there are a lot of cars, so please go in carefully, Miss Jihee”

After returning home, we spent time here and there, and when everyone went to bed, I talked to Shion separately.

It’s none other than Ji-hee’s father’s job. The only person I could consult with about this was Shion.

Even though Mary, Keter, and Korma know Ji-hee, their relationship is not very deep, and even though Eden is close to Ji-hee, they are her older sister and younger sister. Ji-hee needed a guardian and adult here.

“Did you get a call from Jihee’s father?”

“He asked me to meet Jihee.”

“No matter how many years have passed, you know best that the emotional goal has not yet been filled.”

Of Ji-hee’s parents, if there’s one better, it’s her father’s. Indifference to the child is deserving of criticism, but at least it is far better than the mother’s side, which has perverted home education that only studies for the sake of the child.

And I still remember the story he and I had together the day Ji-hee exploded.

He was reflecting, thinking about where he went wrong. I don’t know the mother’s side, but the father’s side was definitely reflecting, but Ji-hee didn’t forgive him, so the emotional trough is deep.

If you reflect, you should give it a chance. Of course, it doesn’t mean that I will meet Ji-hee right away.

“You know best, so you have to meet and talk to know. I’ll make an appointment and meet you.”

“Shall we investigate separately?”

“We’re going to meet and talk anyway. Well, it’s not too late to come and help after talking.”

“Then I understand.”

I sent a separate text message to Ji-hee’s father. Ji-hee refused so we couldn’t meet right away, but he said that we should meet first and talk for a while.

In addition, they said that they could meet at any time outside of the store’s business hours, so they had to set a date to meet.

I wondered when we would meet, but unexpectedly, he asked to meet right away tomorrow. I thought it would take longer because of the company, but it was quite surprising. It looks like something is really going on.

Because of that, I also asked to meet during store opening hours…….. The store opens in a few days, so if we meet tomorrow, we can meet anytime.

But, well, if there is no time problem, we can talk rather leisurely.

Anyway, I made an appointment and went to the store, keeping it a secret from Jihee. Food ingredients and alcohol are available, so the two men should be able to talk quietly.

I don’t know what I’ll like, so I prepare ingredients by type and wait for Ji-hee’s father. And when the time came, he came to the store.

“Hello”

“Ah, Ji-hee’s father… Well”

I greeted him as he greeted me, but the moment I saw his face, I got a rough idea of ​​the situation.

He had a bad complexion. In addition to his yellow face, he feels a little thinner than I’ve seen before. He used to have a strong physique, but now he feels closer to a skinny physique.

I wondered if there was something wrong, but it seems that I am not feeling well. It’s a bad situation that makes me want to meet my daughter urgently.

I decided to put the liquor I had secretly prepared. Ingredients also decided to use more vegetables than meat. Vegetables are vegetables from the Garden of Eden, so eating them will help your health.

“Your complexion doesn’t look good. What’s wrong, Ji-hee’s father?”

“Ah, yes. What……”

“Sit down for now. I’ll bring you something to eat.”

“Yes, thank you”

He sat down And while preparing the dish, I sneak a peek at his life curve.

Looking at his life as a Lord in charge of trials… His curves were pointing downwards. And the end is in sight.

It’s not at the level tomorrow, but at least it’s a matter of years. No matter how long it is, it seems like a big problem because it is not over 5 years.

Outwardly, I am in my late 20s and he is a middle-aged man, but the age itself is similar to mine in this episode. As he is the father of the same daughter, the generations themselves are inevitably similar.

Still, he had a fatal disease. He could die at an early age.

It is said that such a disease is quite serious at a time when medical technology has developed and average life expectancy has increased thanks to the Garden of Eden. I don’t know what the disease is, but I can tell just by looking at it.

I made a salad by lightly mixing vegetables such as lettuce, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar as a dressing. The vegetables are of good quality, so it’s not a big deal, but it’s delicious.

“Eat it. It’s made with vegetables from the Garden of Eden, so it’s good for your body.”

“……You seem to know, right?”

“I can see it just by looking at it. What’s wrong?”

He served healthy dishes for a long time, but in the end, he only sighed and was silent, probably because he had no appetite.

What I need right now seems to be time, so I waited quietly. He was worried while handling the awkward water cup, and soon confessed his circumstances.

“They said it was cancer.”

“Is that so”

“I haven’t been feeling well lately, so I took the time to go to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said it was pancreatic cancer.”

“If you have to…”

There are different types of cancer, but the worst of them is called pancreatic cancer. It has a high incidence rate and a high mortality rate.

In today’s society, which has not yet completely conquered cancer… Moreover, looking at the complexion, it seems that it is too late to discover it. Early detection of cancer is important, but it has a high mortality rate. If pancreatic cancer is detected late, it is better to be alive now.

“I’m trying various things in addition to chemotherapy, but I heard that I can only last a few years.”

“So you’re trying to meet Jihee?”

“Yes… That’s the only thing I have to do. I’m on my way to hand in my resignation today.”

Somehow, even though it was a weekday, he asked to meet right away.

There is no way that a person who is about to die can run a company properly. So, he will soon resign, quit his job, and concentrate on treatment.

But in the end, death is the end. If that’s the case, I’d like to organize my life and go.

Suddenly, I remembered the human who was my maternal grandfather in this episode. What was his name…….. Well, it doesn’t matter, he did something similar anyway.

He also apologized to me before his deathbed and tried to ask for forgiveness, but would he have done that if I hadn’t come out before that? He wouldn’t have called me to his deathbed in the first place.

That’s why I still don’t associate with Cheonryongmun. Having a grudge is just a different direction of interest in the end. I treat them with indifference.

“Are you going to ask for forgiveness from Jihee before you die?”

“Yes, I don’t have much time left…”

“What should I say? I think it will backfire even more.”

“On what grounds do you say that, whoa…Why do you think that?”

Ji-hee’s father was angry and tried to argue, but soon lost his anger and asked politely.

Previously, he didn’t even recognize the situation properly and punched me, which caused Ji-hee to explode.

If you remember that, you won’t act hastily. If you’ve been treated badly once and you don’t remember it and do it again, it’s just an idiot.

“Because I’ve been through something similar. As you may know, I’m a person with special abilities. I was also a direct descendant of a munpa who knew quite a bit before the appearance of people with special abilities.”

“……..Is that so?”

“It might be hard to understand since we’re running such a small shop, but this shop isn’t about making money. My position in the Heavenly Mu Association is above average.”

I didn’t lie. It’s at the top, so it’s okay to be middle-class or higher.

Anyway, I brought out my story. He and I were in different situations and people, but our sentiments were similar. Tell the person you need to ask for forgiveness the position of the person you need to forgive.

“My mother was the youngest daughter of that clan, and my father was an orphan. The two of them loved each other and tried to get married, but the family opposed it.

“…………”

“But my parents died in a car accident, and I lost my parents, so the only person to take me in was my maternal grandfather. So, my maternal grandfather took me in, but he gave me the worst name and I was treated as someone who didn’t belong in the family.”

“That……..”

“Everyone in my family ignored me except for the adoptive mother who took care of me, my step-sister who was his daughter, and my friend, who is now my brother-in-law. “

In a way, it is similar to what he did to Jihee.

Because he was indifferent to his daughter, and at that time, the Celestial Dragon Master and the Celestial Dragon Masters ignored me. There are differences, but they are oddly similar.

Of course, it’s a bit difficult for me to understand Jihee. At that time, I thought I was just going to do that, and I passed it on, but even though I was a victim, I had almost no feelings as a victim.

“Then later, an incident with my mother’s mother caused my talent to be revealed. Even at the time, I was an overwhelming talent, so the family tried to treat me well, but I already lost my temper.”

“………..”

“As soon as I became an adult, I immediately enlisted in the military, and after being discharged, I went to the United States and worked in the kitchen, where I met my current wife. And after returning to raise a child, I heard that my maternal grandfather, who told me to treat me like that, was on the verge of dying.”

“Hey, what did you do?”

“I went and cursed and overcharged. Apology before searching is simply a matter of personal satisfaction, just hoping for forgiveness. Didn’t”

I, a direct descendant, pay the subsidy, and the subsidy is not much, only about 50,000 won.

In short, that was what I wanted to convey. ‘You and I are not family, we only know each other, so eat that and leave’.

At that, Ji-hee’s father’s complexion turned pale. He overlapped himself with the master of the Celestial Dragon Gate. Of course, it wasn’t so obvious because of his jaundiced face.

“Hatred and anger can be burned only when there is emotion in them. But if there is no great emotion for the opponent, there is no emotion to pour out in the first place.”

“I, then, to Jihee…”

“Are you trying to apologize to Ji-hee before you die, for Ji-hee’s sake, or are you simply trying to make your heart feel better?”

“That, that…”

“I think it’s a problem either way.”

It might have been a little better after about 10 years. But looking at Ji-hee’s reaction the other day when she refused to meet him, I wonder if he would accept him as her daughter just because he was dying, apologizing and asking for forgiveness.

In the worst case, like me, you can treat me at the level of a man. Honestly, it’s their self-employed gain.

Whose side should I take here? So this time, I thought I should meet Ji-hee and talk.

“Let’s go home today. I’ll talk to Jihee separately.”

“……..Please”

He ended up leaving without even eating a bite of the salad I made for him. Actually, he wasn’t talking about eating something.

His back seemed dwarfed. He may have looked dwarfed because of his weight loss due to cancer, but the atmosphere was the same.

It is the back of a head of household who went the wrong way and was shunned by his children. It’s really bittersweet.

Returning home, I told Zion the story. It’s a problem like this, but it’s better to consult and judge than think alone. Of course, I’ll ask Jihee later.

“Hmm, cancer is easy to treat, but.”

“Except for Horizon technology”

“Isn’t there an elixir from the Garden of Eden besides that?”

“………..Uh?”

“We created a separate foundation from the Vatican to supply elixirs to treat children with incurable diseases, but can’t we treat pancreatic cancer?”

“That’s it again…”

I was an asshole for not thinking of that. No, I also thought about Horizon’s technology and Eden’s Essence of Water, but I forgot about that.

If you just talk to Keter, he’ll give you a separate elixir, but… I had to tell Jihee about it separately.

“No matter how much you lose your temper, if your father is dying and you can save him, he will save you.”

“Maybe not”

“That child is not you. You just have to talk about it, listen to what you think and act on it.”

“……I guess so”

I feel stuffy because of this. It would have been simpler and better if it ended by smashing everything with force.

Even if you live a long time, it seems that the human mind is difficult to understand.
