Chapter 1583 – [Coming Out]
Eden’s vacation was coming to an end, and she invited her friends to meet us at our store.
It hasn’t opened yet, but we plan to do so soon, so before that, we’re inviting Eden’s friends as the first guests. Of course, Eden has many friends, but her real friends are Dahee, Minji, Jongseong, and Sunwook.
These four are each working hard for their own future, and they are doing well in various ways for that, which makes me very happy to see them as the uncles next door.
Who would have thought that kids who were once minors would grow up and start drinking. It seems like time goes by so quickly.
“Oh!!! Sunwook is in the 1st group?”
“What, did I come first? I came in a hurry.”
“I guess there’s traffic. Oh, that’s right. Now that I think about it, I have to get a license too!!!!”
“I got it a long time ago. Ah, hello uncle!!!”
“Oh, Sunwook, you had a hard time coming. Please sit down quickly.”
Sunwook, who said he went on to a physical education college and will represent the national taekwondo team, is doing quite well. Even though he is not a talented person, his body is quite developed, and his muscles are well-built. Looking at his physical condition, he must have trained and developed enough skills, so he will probably win a medal when he goes out.
“I will receive the full military exemption buff, so I will get enough medals.”
“After all the hard work, it should be right.”
“Don’t worry if you accidentally fall. I’ll come visit you.”
“The fact that you came to our school is a problem!!! Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of calls asking if I know that model!!!!”
“Other people’s misfortune is my happiness!!!!”
“Hey!!!!!”
The next person to come was Jongseong. Jongseong traveled to various countries with Santa, which gave him an opportunity to learn the languages of those countries, and because of that, he decided to pursue a career in that direction.
The only thing is that Jongseong brought something that looked like a small notebook, and it felt similar to what Eden had. Maybe that’s Jongseong’s last Christmas present? If I see something I haven’t seen before, I guess Santa gave it to me separately.
“Oh!!! Jongseong!!!”
“Eden, long time no see.”
“You said you went to the military. What do you think?”
“Training was a bit difficult, but work was okay.”
“I heard you went to the supplementary station? What are you doing there?”
“I’m working as a translator at an organization under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Since I’m multilingual, it’s a lot of work, but it’s not bad.”
“Which translations do you mainly use?”
“Something like translating Korean works into foreign languages and publishing them… Something like that.”
“Good job!!!”
And Eden was also interested in whether he had found the notebook that Jongseong was holding. I think the function will be similar to Eden’s standard cooking style, but the genre will probably be different.
“You got that too?”
“Eden, you too?”
“I’m a book!!! It’s bigger than yours!!!!”
“The size of the gift doesn’t determine your decision?!”
“Honestly, I think it’s true this time. Because I was a better kid than you!!!!”
“If you look at your usual behavior, it doesn’t look like anything at all. Where on earth are you?!”
Well, I can’t deny it. It’s not because Jongsu wasn’t a good kid, it’s just that Eden was a better kid. If he had been a bad kid to begin with, they would have given him coal.
It’s just that Eden went to another world and saved a world before he learned how to cook, so that was counted. If Jongseong is a good child worth 10,000 points, then Eden will be worth 100 million points. We don’t discriminate, but it’s inevitable to give better gifts to better children.
“But what is yours?”
“It’s a translation notebook. When I write the word or sentence I want to translate, it automatically translates.”
“What? Then you don’t have to work?”
“But this translation standard is optimized for me, so if my translation skills are poor, the translation will be poor as well. So I have to study harder.”
“Oh, I see. Mine is a book that contains recipes for dishes I ate and records memories of dishes.”
“That’s awesome too. Show me later.”
“I’ll show you now!!!”
Eden immediately summoned the essence of cooking and chatted with Jongseong as they looked at each other’s gifts.
Even though she received her last gift from Santa, she still continues to work as an assistant… Still, it is a great feeling to see the child she saw in the past become an adult and receive her last gift from Santa.
Moreover, the fact that she received the last gift means that she remained a good child until she became an adult.
It’s amazing that she has grown consistently since she was young.
“But do you still like Santa Girl?”
“Hey!!!!!”
“Kkkk”
“Jongseong, did you still like Santa Girl? Didn’t you give up?”
“Soon-wook, don’t scratch other people’s minds. They’ll really get behind you.”
“Well, if you’ve been in love with a Santa girl as hot as me since you were young, your walls will be warped, and you won’t be able to look at other women. Right, Dad?”
“Eden is you…”
Eden’s expression was quite mischievous as he spoke to me with various meanings. Because I’m the only person here who knows that I’m a Santa girl…
Since there were about two people, she decided to bring food and drinks. And while preparing, Dahee and Minji enter the store together for the last time. It’s probably a little late because the two of them came together.
“Hey!!! Last place!!! Why are you here now?”
“I came out early, but Minji came out late, so I’m late.”
“I’m not late because I want to be late, but I’m late because I have a lot of work to do and I sleep late. If I had to guess the reason, it’s Eden!!!!”
“Why is it my fault?!”
“It would be better to just come out as a Wakamo shrine maiden from the beginning, but it would only cause confusion and make the situation ambiguous!!!”
Apart from Dahee, who is studying business administration at Seoul National University like Eden, Minji, who did not go to college, is working as Eden’s manager.
Of course, not only is he just a manager, but he also edits videos and works as an editor… These days, Eden has been talked about a lot by people, so there have been a lot of problems with the manager’s job.
Eden had a lot to worry about, including the malicious comments coming to her account, so she had to deal with them and take legal action in addition. Our lawyers will take care of the legal battle, but we can’t just play around, and we need to gather evidence and things like that.
Everyone is working hard while studying or working. And we gathered here.
“But Eden, if you come out, it won’t be easy to get together like this.”
“We can get together again later when we have some time.”
“If Eden becomes famous, it will be even more so than now. Don’t we also suffer because of it? Sunwook, didn’t you also have boys whining about Eden asking you to introduce her when she visited school?”
“Ah.”
“You can think of it as roughly similar. No, it’s probably more than that.”
There are more than one problem that arises when Eden enters society. Among them, there was a problem with Eden’s acquaintances.
At least since we already know each other, asking to be introduced is a bit better. However, if it turns out that the other person is Wakamo Shrine and that her father is an evil emperor, the number of people flocking will be at least several times greater.
Even dealing with them would be work. It’s annoying for me too, but the kids will be amazed. There will be a lot of guys begging you to introduce them, but that’s really no joke.
“Hey, say it like this then.”
“How?”
“Even if I eat banquet noodles sold at the market for 3,000 won, it costs more than 100,000 won per meal, so if you don’t have the financial means to pay for the food, get out.”
“You eat so much. Are you a pig?”
“The breasts and buttocks are like a pig’s. Have you ever seen breasts and buttocks this wide?”
“He really doesn’t say a word!!!!!”
To be honest, our Eden eats a lot. If you filter people with that, you can filter them to some extent.
Who would support a person who burns hundreds of thousands of won on one meal even if he eats cheap food? First, if we want to take Eden, we must solve the economic problem.
Economic conditions are the minimum requirement, but it would be difficult to introduce them. Even if you don’t want to make a fuss about being the head of the family or something like that, if you become a man and can’t pay for your wife’s food, that’s a problem, and you should give up.
“Anyway, let’s play and eat today!!!! Drinks and snacks are free!!!! So drink up all you can!!!!!”
“Wow, can I really eat it all?”
“Okay!!!! Eat, drink and play as much as you want!!!! That’s what we made today!!!!!”
Today is the last time the kids play before the commotion. If Eden comes out, it won’t be easy to create a place like this.
So I made several dishes and served them out. At the same time, I prepared English dishes separately and the response was very good.
“Wow!!!! What is this?!?!? I just ate it, and it felt like something was seeping deep into my bones!!! Amazing!!!!”
“That’s English cooking. We’ll be selling it at my dad’s store from now on.”
“Really?! Mister!!!! Can I make a reservation later?!”
“Minji, if you do it, I’ll accommodate you for now. That doesn’t mean it’s absolute, but whatever.”
“Wow!!!! When I get a boyfriend later, I’ll come with you, so we can go on a date!!!!!”
“Minji, did you have a boyfriend?”
“… Shut up, you’ll make me feel bad.”
“Then let’s have a drink together!!!!”
“You can make it, but you don’t make it!!!!!”
It’s so noisy here and there. Still, it’s just as enjoyable.
For adults, it is quite a sight to see children talking, laughing, and having fun at the age of play. So I also had a lot of fun watching the kids play.
“So Eden, what are you going to do? You’re in such a fuss just now because of that.”
“I would like to introduce it through an official announcement from the Cheonmu Association.”
“Wow… A day like this is coming.”
“But if we think about it, hasn’t it been a while since we learned of Eden’s identity?”
“That and these are different.”
“If I post school stories with Eden, will the number of Instagram followers increase?”
“It will probably increase to 10,000.”
It’s noisy, but at the same time it’s a quiet gathering. Maybe next time it will be a noisier gathering than this. That’s how precious this time is.
“Next time we have a reunion, should we do it in space like we said before?”
“What, are you kidding?”
“…”
“You’re kidding, right?”
“There is no need for separate membership fees, so gather contact information from your classmates!!!!”
“You’re really kidding, right?! Huh?!”
If we wanted to have a reunion in space, we wouldn’t have to make a fuss by releasing Horizon first… Well, that’s what happens then.
I didn’t plan on living in this dimension for the rest of my life anyway. At best, it will last for several decades, and then I will leave here. Even though we visit occasionally, we don’t plan on living forever, so it’s only a matter of time before we reveal our true identity to the world.
I guess we’ll actually have a reunion at Horizon in the future. It may be fun from Eden’s perspective, but there will be many problems in doing so.
“But how are you going to present it?”
“I’m going to do it at an official event. There, I’m just going to show my face!!!!”
“I’m really curious what the reaction will be.”
“Looking at it now, there are many people who say Eden is not a Wakamo shrine maiden, but if it were revealed, they would all shut up and there wouldn’t be an uproar.”
“It would be difficult to go out with all the reporters and other people. Have you thought about that?”
“It’s okay because you can move with something like teleportation anyway.”
“The method is completely different from ours.”
I expected people to flock to me after I came out. But even so, it is meaningless as long as you don’t leave the house.
Among the people in my family, there is almost no one who cannot tear through dimensions and move. In addition, Eden can teleport using the Dragon Step method, so she doesn’t have to worry about anything.
Don’t worry about the crowds of people and just leave them alone, and if there’s someone crossing the line or the wall, tear it down and that’s it. At that time, since he came out, I wouldn’t kill him, but just rip off his arms and legs and throw them outside the wall, and he would be on guard.
“Anyway, let’s not worry about that story and enjoy today!!!! Collect your glasses!!! Let’s have a toast! Let’s have a toast!!!!!”
“You really…”
“What do you think? Eden is the answer.”
“It wouldn’t be Eden if she was sullen about something like this. And she’s smiling, so it’ll end pretty well, right? So, let’s have a toast.”
“Oh!!!!!”
Soon Eden and her friends gathered their glasses together. Everyone drinks different alcohol, so some people drink beer, some people drink soju, or something like fairy tears, but they put it all together and clink their glasses together.
Jang!!! With that sound, they soon toast each other and drink happily. It seems that no one is in their right mind today.
“Uncle, but of course it is the same with you, but how is your relationship with Keter?”
“That’s right, watching the broadcast, it seems like you have a crush on Keter too. What is your relationship with Keter in reality?”
“No comment on that.”
No, what are you asking because they are drunk? Of course, other people’s love lives are interesting, but that doesn’t mean you should ask a married man.
While I was reticent to say anything, Eden quietly added a hint from her side.
“In fact, Keter is one of the candidates for her stepmother.”
“Oh, really?!”
“Aren’t you and Keter just friends? Is she your stepmom?”
“Wow!!! Awesome!!!!!”
“No, Eden, what are you talking about to your friend?!”
Why is Keter a stepmother!!!! Don’t say anything weird to her!!!!
