Chapter 1539 – [Life as a Senior in High School After Completing the CSAT]

This year’s Christmas Eve was a white Christmas.

Perhaps because global warming is in progress, not many people come here, but at least when you go outside, you can feel the unique texture of snow! It piled up so much that you could step on it.

The Garden of Eden maintains warm temperature and humidity all year round, so it is impossible to see snow, so the children collect snow and make snowmen in our yard. Since there wasn’t a lot of snow, I was able to collect all the snow in the yard and make a decent-sized snowman.

“It’s a waste. If more people had come, we could have built an igloo.”

[Shall we make the heaviest snowfall ever?]

“Hey!!! Then you can’t eat the crops grown in the house!!!!”

No matter how winter it is, there are so many crops that can be grown at home!!!!!

Anyway, it was rough, so I adjusted Keter appropriately and just made a snowman. Although it was a fairly large snowman, it was similar in size to Keter, so it was not that big of a snowman.

“It’s a bit disappointing that the snowman is small.”

[Then, shall we make a snowman as big as Mount Everest?]

“It’s too big!!!!”

“Can you eat shaved ice that size?”

[Uh… It’s not a problem with the ice, but rather a problem with the juice to be sprinkled on it.]

Keter was also shocked by that situation. No matter how hard she tries, it is difficult to deal with the Bloodier, which can eat up her planet itself.

“But why isn’t there something like a golem, which is similar to a snowman? Why is it that there are fire golems and earth golems, but I don’t know about ice golems, but there are no snow golems?”

[It must be a difference in intensity. In the end, golems are a category of magic, so why make them into eyes that disappear when melted when they need to be strong enough to give an artificial effect?]

“Oh, I see.”

“Even if I make it, I will do it after making a separate core and creating a main body to maintain the golem. That’s the way to maintain golems that cannot be maintained normally. There are few things that can be maintained without power, and the same goes for golems, right?”

“Oh, um…”

Even if they are treated as children, Keter and Lulu are not children, but beings who were active among the transcendental. The stories they tell cannot be ordinary.

It’s probably something that a normal wizard would have to go through after going through a lot of trial and error, but for Eden right now, it’s something that can just be overlooked.

If you think about it, Eden has a lot of people around her to talk to about various things. Many trials and errors can be overcome with just one word from them… It’s no joke.

Anyway, the kids had a great time running around and playing in the yard. The people in the adult line, including me, watched it happily and drank tea.

“But how do you usually maintain the backbone of such a golem?”

[You will maintain it by sucking mana from those around you, right? Well, it would be useless in a world that is not based on mana.]

“Hmm…”

“Why? Did you come up with something good?”

“No, this and that. It’s no big deal.”

Aside from the kids playing, evening soon comes, and it’s time for Santa to come. We were quite busy preparing for the party.

He invites several guests, including Jihee, and prepares and cooks numerous ingredients so that there is not enough food. As much as we prepare, there is enough food for Eden and Lulu to eat. Of course, if you make it in advance and put it on the table, it won’t taste good, so Sion put a special fix on the dish.

Eden looked at it and asked with interest.

“Oh!!! Mom, how do you do this?”

“You can do this by manipulating time and space at the same time. It may seem like you have to manipulate two different things, but surprisingly, they are similar, so once you understand that part, it is easy to manipulate them together.”

“Hmm…”

“It will still be difficult for my daughter. If construction and manipulation had been easy in the first place, we would have used dogs or cows.”

Since Zion is Hanon, it can manipulate space and time based on the rule of physical laws, so even, Eden is still a long way from using it.

But if you take the time, you will definitely be able to use it. It’s not for nothing that our Eden was able to learn time manipulation as well as space.

“Well, the Demon King couldn’t use this at the same time…”

“That’s probably because the mechanisms are different. So, they can only be used together using the same mechanism. But the origin is the same.”

“Oh, I get it!!!!”

“It’s good to know.”

Whether manipulating space or time, ultimately, if you go up to the source, you are using will. On the other hand, Eden’s Demon King’s ability is like a program that uses the ability to manipulate time, and once you get used to it, you can use it as you want regardless of the program.

That is what a road is. Of course, the efficiency varies depending on your major, but anyway.

We had a party. The pile of dishes on the table quickly went into each person’s stomach, and most of them belonged to Eden and Lulu. As expected, two people eat the best.

“Wow… Eden eats well every time I see him.”

“Honestly, that scares me too.”

I don’t know about Bloodier, but it’s no joke that Eden’s eating amount is comparable to his. With the salary of a decent office worker, Eden probably wouldn’t even be able to pay for food, even if he works for a large company.

I really wonder who will take our Eden. Of course, I have no intention of sending it to you.

Some bastard is trying to take our Eden!!! This dad won’t allow it!!!!!

Anyway, as we had a noisy party, it soon became time for Santa to arrive. From afar, Santa’s sleigh, which only we can see, begins to fly.

“Hohoho!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!”

A sleigh pulled by reindeer flew by with familiar yet friendly lines. It landed in my yard, but there was no reaction from those around me, but on the other hand, that was Santa’s ability.

Although we see him every year, his generous body remains the same each time. I don’t know if it’s because of Santa’s character, but… Well, whatever.

“Santa Claus!!!!”

“Hehe!!! Okay, it’s been a while, Eden. How have you been?”

“Yes!!! I had a good time!!!!”

“It must have been a lot of hard times, so I’m glad to see you say that. Just wait a moment. I’ll give you your gift at the end.”

“Wow!!! It’s a gift!!!!!”

If nothing else, the point of giving a gift was proof that our Eden was a good enough child to receive a gift this year.

Of course, if it weren’t for that, even if I had to fight with all the Dream Giants, I would have tackled Eden and said he was a bad kid. Honestly, if you use your powers, killing them all isn’t that big of a deal.

“First, Eve, you have brought a hacking tool program that suits your level. Analyze it and study hard.”

“It was difficult to use my mother’s hacking program because my computing power was limited. But is it okay for you to give me something like that?”

“It’s bad, but it’s not worth using. I don’t know how much it costs.”

“Um… Thank you. I’ll put it to good use.”

Eve politely accepted the USB given by Santa. As an artificial intelligence, it would be good to learn and learn things like that. On the other hand, I think I might need another gift… I guess I’ll buy him a doll or something next year.

The next gift Santa gave was Lulu.

“Is it coal this year too?”

“That’s natural. Bloodiers eat people, and it’s natural for carnivores to eat other animals, but you add evil intent to it. So you’re a bad kid.”

“I don’t eat it these days!!! Only you eat it!!!”

“Yes, it’s good that things are a little better, but I still have accumulated sins… So the day when you receive a gift will probably never come.”

“Once you’re a bad kid, you’re a bad kid forever?”

“That’s not it, because I will become an adult before then.”

“Oh, I know what it is!!!”

Lulu looked in my direction. In response, I slightly avoided her gaze and pretended not to notice.

We’re talking about an alliance and I have a crush on Lulu, so we’re tied up in an engagement format, but the relationship hasn’t developed to that level yet… Please understand my situation, which is strange because I have a lot of women.

It is the last gift from Eden that we have been waiting for.

“Thank you for being a good child until you become an adult. Honestly, even if I were around, there are not as many children as you think who grow up to be good children until they become adults.”

“Really?”

“You are losing your childhood. But you have become a great adult with the innocence of a child. That is something for me and the Dream Giants to celebrate.”

No matter how nasty the Dream Giant is, he will not touch a child.

It’s a strange story that beings that can easily kill even the most transcendental beings because they are dimensional species are harmless in front of children, but perhaps that’s why they seemed to welcome the growth of Santa, the Dream Giant behind them, and Eden.

“I pay more attention to that child’s final gift. Of course, I pay attention to all children’s gifts, but since you will continue to convey dreams and hopes to more children, I should give you a gift worth it.”

“Wow!!! I’m looking forward to it!!!!”

What Santa took out of the gift package was a book.

It was quite thick, almost like a major book… But it was not an ordinary book, but an old-fashioned book covered with a hard cover that seemed to be made of leather.

There was no name or title written on it, but at the same time, I felt like I had seen that book somewhere. No, I think that’s similar to the book Lucian was carrying.

“… A copy of the Book of Knowledge?”

“It’s similar, but different.”

“It was probably made by borrowing the power of the Dream Giant, right?”

“Otherwise, you can’t make it normally.”

The Four Heavenly Kings under the Fate Absolute Faction. Lucian, the Wisdom Lord who was once the top two of our faction along with the Absolute One of Beginning and Origin, is one of the Lords that I cannot ignore even now that I have become a Lord.

I don’t know about anything else, but I am confident that I can win against other Lords with my combat power, but it is a bit difficult for me to deal with a transcendental person of the Overlord level, who is close to the absolute. Of course, I’m not saying that you can’t defeat Bisil.

And he also has a shitty pedigree. My mother was the Absolute of Knowledge and my father was the first Wisdom Lord, so it is a combination of Absolute + Lord. Eden is also an anti-matter spoon born under Zion, a dimensional species, but the only bloodline that can defeat that side is a combination of Absolute + Absolute.

Among the items he carries around is a copy of the Book of Knowledge, the sacred instrument of the Absolute Knowledge. On the outside, it looks like just an old-fashioned book, but it has various abilities and is sometimes used as a weapon.

“Grandpa, how do you write?”

“Would you like to open it?”

Soon, Eden took the book and opened it, and there were pictures of the dishes we ate at the Christmas party and descriptions of them.

“Oh?”

“It’s a book linked to your dreams. It automatically records the dishes you ate, their explanations, and your impressions. It probably records all the foods you’ve eaten so far, so check it out.”

“Wow!!! Then there must be dishes I ate long ago that I don’t even remember? Oh, but what do I do if there aren’t enough pages?”

“It’s okay because the number of pages is infinite.”

“Wow!!! The law of conservation of mass is a wrap!!!!”

“To explain it accurately, it is linked to your dreams and maintained based on your will. You can think of it as being run by the change in your pocket that you do not even know about.”

The number of dishes our Eden has eaten so far is quite large, but they are all recorded. If you think about the explanation and things like that, it probably has quite a bit of storage capacity… It has more storage capacity than most computers. No, it would be even better if I could record indefinitely in the future.

A cookbook that can be written indefinitely. It’s no joke.

“And if you rip a page and give it to someone to think about it deeply, even if it’s a dish they can’t remember, it will come to mind on the page.”

“It’s an awesome feature!!!!”

“You can write and save text, and there are many other functions, so please refer to the manual at the front of the book.”

“You can use it by tearing out the pages, and there’s an instruction manual at the front. It feels like Death Note.”

Now, Santa only mentioned a few useful features, but among the features he didn’t mention, there will be good ones as they were created by the Dream Giant, which is a fully dimensional species.

Since I can only cook, even if I have a little bit of skill in making things, things made by transcendental beings or transcendental species come with functions that even most dimensional civilizations can’t make. Moreover, the Lord’s equipment was imitated by a dimensional bell, so it couldn’t be an ordinary item.

“Anyway, congratulations on becoming an adult, Eden. It’s not a complete farewell, and I’ll have to visit again next year to give you an Eve gift, but… I’m really grateful that you’ve grown from a good child to a good adult.”

“Thank you so much, Santa Claus.”

“If you keep moving forward without losing that spirit, you will definitely be able to become a great adult. And pass that dream on to other children.”

“Yes!!!!”

Santa and Eden hugged each other and said goodbye.

Of course, we can meet again next year, but our meeting as the giver and recipient is now over. Instead, Santa blessed Eden’s future path.

It seems like the relationship between Santa and Eden ended on a good note. It was a long relationship as we had been interacting for over ten years.

“Now that Eden has grown up and graduated with flying colors, do you plan to finish your duties as a Santa girl?”

“She even said that to Eden, but what good would she do if she got caught up in protecting children’s hearts? At least she has to do it until Eden leaves this Earth.”

“Is that so? That’s a good thing. You have more fans than you might think.”

And Zion, who was next to me, quietly said.

“Now it’s an annual event to spend quality time with Santa Girl and her husband.”

“No, don’t say that out loud?!”

“It’s bad that you have a sexy body that will make innocent young children instinctively understand what sex is!!!! What should you do if you play Santa Girl with a body that will destroy children’s childhood innocence!!!”

“It’s not my fault!!!!”

Next to Zion, Eden nodded and agreed.

“Honestly, the girl’s father is dirty.”

“You’re saying this because you know that a woman and a father are not compatible, right?”

“I should contact Jongseong to ask if he still likes Santa Girl.”

“Hey!!!!!”

Our Eden has always been good at playing pranks on his dad.

Miss Eden is good at pranks!!!!
