Chapter 1629 – [(Relatively) Daily Life]

While we were grilling meat, the broadcasting station staff enthusiastically filmed us. They say there’s something to see, but I like grilling meat… Is it because I want to take care of the portion size even though my cooking skills are not good?

Anyway, the PD asks various questions. Zion quietly ate the meat next to me, and it was Eden and me who mainly answered.

Right now, I’m less interested because she’s just my wife and Eden’s mother, but later, when Shion leaves the Hanon family, and it’s revealed what kind of person she is, all kinds of miscellaneous people will be attracted to her. So for now, let’s just quietly eat.

“I never thought I would meet you two like this. Do you come to this store often?”

“I don’t come often, but I come here often. It’s a pretty good store.”

“Is it that good of a restaurant?”

“If you ask me if it’s a great restaurant, it’s not true. However, as it has been in business for a long time, it maintains consistent quality and taste, so it is a good restaurant where you can come and eat comfortably at any time.”

“Oh, I see.”

Once the meat was cooked to some extent, we also started eating. Eden drinks a glass of soju first, then places two large pieces of pork belly on top of her lettuce and wraps them in ssamjang with garlic.

“Eating two pieces of organic pork belly at once!!!”

“Indeed, it is legal!!!”

“The mother and daughter are just the same.”

To everyone else, it looks like an ordinary house, but the camera moves in concentration as if it thinks this is worth taking a picture of. In fact, since the camera was only filming this side, it seemed like we were the main characters.

Eventually, the PD also asked Eden a question.

“Do you like pork belly?”

“Are there some Koreans who don’t like pork belly? To be Korean, you have to eat pork belly and chicken regularly. Oh, and garlic too.”

“Then isn’t garlic-glazed pork belly or garlic chicken the perfect Korean dish?”

“The answer is correct!!! Alchemist!!!!”

“Mom is more of a cash magician than an alchemist.”

Even though we are asked various questions, the women in my house eat pork belly in a hearty manner. You can eat it just by dipping it in oil, or you can eat it wrapped in ssam (ssam). Everyone is different, but the speed at which they eat is not difficult, so I had to work hard to cook them.

That doesn’t mean I can’t eat meat, but that’s not true. This is because Zion and Eden each wrapped and fed wraps in between meals.

“You, try it.”

“Isn’t the wrap a bit big?”

“Isn’t the bigger, the better?”

“Sex drip from an experienced married woman!!!”

“This wasn’t a sex drip. Doesn’t my daughter have a lewd devil?”

“Wouldn’t it be strange if you were in your 20s and didn’t have an obsession with pornography?”

“That’s true.”

There were no questions from the PD for a while. It’s not that she didn’t have any questions to ask, but she just didn’t want to get involved in a situation where her family was having fun with each other. Since I don’t hate people who are so perceptive, I decided to pay attention to them as well.

“You and your wife are very happy, and the family is friendly. Is this usually the atmosphere at home?”

“Well, that’s right. People might think that I’m an evil emperor or something special and that the atmosphere at home is strange, but I’m also a human being. At home, I’m an ordinary head of the household.”

“The house of the evil emperor and the shrine maiden Wakamo is actually an ordinary family… So it’s kind of heartwarming.”

Anyway, the meal continued. Since none of us eat like normal people, the three of us ended up eating close to 100 servings. And that’s even if only meat is considered.

Other additional menus. So, including things like soybean paste stew and cold noodles, there were over 20 servings. When I think about that, the amount of food I ate today was just basic.

“Ah!!! I ate well!!!!”

“Next time, ice cream for dessert.”

“Mom, what flavor do you want to eat?”

“I like the chocolate flavor the best.”

It was quite interesting to see two people talking about ice cream, which at best costs only a few thousand won for a 10-liter container. First, no matter how much was left, it was expected that it would all be taken away because Eden was there, but anyway.

The good news is that when the owner saw that we were here, he replaced the ice cream container with a new one. I put a couple of extras there, so no matter how much Eden it was, I couldn’t eat them all and left some behind.

“Now let’s go play games!!!!”

“My daughter. What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to do it.”

“Why, in Street Fighter 2? Are you going to blow up Radek? Fighting games cause problems for no reason, so let’s do something else.”

“Hey, that’s a bit unfortunate.”

“If it weren’t for the shame, there would have been trouble. Please take care of your conscience.”

To be honest, I think it would be shit if I were to be lazy and just throw radish in the corner.

Anyway, Eden and Shion had quite a fun time playing Metal Slug. I spent some time watching and eating the leftover meat.

I wonder if it was really a situation worth seeing, but the staff stayed until the end, enthusiastically taking pictures to see if there was anything worth seeing. I was wondering if there was a schedule for the next filming or something, but even if there was, I would finish it here.

The broadcast staff also spent time filming in the small children’s playroom. I wonder if that’s okay, but it’s hard to say that there’s enough left over to be broadcast.

“Wow, I’ve covered enough content for today’s broadcast. Thank you very much.”

“It’s enough to thank you for this. I don’t know when I’ll see you, but I still hope to see you next time.”

“Thank you for saying that. Anyway, see you next time.”

After briefly saying hello to the PD, it was our time. As for our time, there was nothing special about it, it was just time for Shion and Eden to play arcade games.

To be honest, I wanted to join in, but since there were only two people playing, I had no choice but to just watch from the side. The good news is that the boss will just wait and see.

Since business was great today, they’ll at least let me play some games. Honestly, if you say something to the people who ordered close to 100 people for playing a game machine that you were given to do, you have no conscience.

“If you shoot upward from here, a bonus item will drop.”

“Enimessinger!!!!!”

“It’s a heavy machine gun.”

“Well, as long as it makes sense, it’s okay.”

“That doesn’t make any sense.”

In the end, the two of them got up from their seats only after beating the final boss. Eden died at least once even with one coin, but Zion never died and cleared the final boss.

Looking at it, the difference in time seems enormous. Eden’s reflexes are also at a transcendental level, so it’s no joke… Rather than saying the game is difficult, it’s probably closer to not being prepared.

“Well, the problem is that you can’t block attacks. You can deflect bullets and such!!!!”

“Because this is a game. If it’s not a system like that, it’s actually a problem if you throw it away.”

“Next time, I should aim to clear OneCoin without dying!!!!”

“Then it is important to memorize the pattern.”

Our family, who had such a great time, returned home again. And the broadcast that was filmed this time was also aired on a weekday evening after the weekend.

Even though the viewership ratings were average, it was an unremarkable broadcast, but when word spread that Eden and I would appear, the viewership ratings skyrocketed. It was a program with few dislikes from the beginning, but perhaps that’s why the number of viewers increased.

The response was also good. There were many people who commented favorably on our unpretentious behavior and not just following the script.

-It’s kind of heartwarming.

-Hyeongje is just a father at home. Honestly, I was surprised.

-Is it true that there are so many plates of pork belly next to me haha

-How many people are you eating?

If the response is good, I have no intention of saying anything. Anyway, it was something I had to deal with from the time I was given permission to film for broadcast.

After that happens, the weather gets colder and winter comes. And Eden is also on winter vacation, and Ana, who had promised to come, comes to visit. It was something she was very excited about, so I was fully prepared and waiting for her, and soon she was setting foot in Korea.

On the day of her arrival, I went to her airport and picked her up. I was able to go to her alone and welcome her without anyone looking at her.

… Because if Eden isn’t by my side, not as many people will recognize me as I think. Since it is an ordinary face, most people pass by thinking it is just that.

After not seeing each other for a while, Ana had grown into her old self. She is younger than Eden, so she may still be a minor, but she has grown up and appears to be an adult. Moreover, even if she is not at the level of Shion or Eden, she is a beauty so great that it attracts the attention of both men and women, so people’s attention is focused on her.

“It’s quite nice to be in Korea for the first time in a while. How have you been?”

“I’m fine. I’m sure you heard the news that I came out.”

“I heard that there were a lot of hardships. Well, I guess celebrities are popular wherever they go.”

“Were there any problems coming?”

“On the contrary, my father and the Italian government pushed me to come and meet him. It was an opportunity to build connections with the evil emperor or something. In fact, I was even given a diplomat position.”

“But can I come quietly like this?”

“Because I’m not here officially. You can think of it as a diplomat coming on leave.”

As Ana awakened the memories of her past life, she also gained those powers, making her a considerable level of this ability. Although she is not at the level compared to our home full of Transcendents and Transcendent species, she is strong enough to at least wreak havoc on a city.

She reported this to the Italian government, and while working in the background, she obtained various positions. She will probably make an official announcement when she becomes an adult and becomes active.

It’s still a few years away, but I wonder what it will be like when that time comes. I think it might cause a bit of a fuss…

“Let’s go home first. I’ve prepared this and that, so let’s play.”

“Is there any alcohol?”

“Aren’t you still a minor? Well, first, there are good drinks. This time, we made something new.”

“I’m really looking forward to that.”

I also tend to discourage minors from drinking alcohol. Wasn’t it like that in Eden?

But she’s grown physically, and it’s not harmful to her body if she drinks… No, she’s not advocating for underage drinking.

Anyway, Ana and I headed to our house. Since Ana was next to her, she was curious about something, and it seemed like some people found out about my identity, but she left that aside for now. Since she came out anyway, even Ana couldn’t completely hide her presence.

The same goes for reporters who wait in front of my house without having to go far. Since you can’t avoid eye contact other than tearing up the dimension and going home, you will inevitably get caught.

“Hello, Mr. Worst.”

“Yes. But why?”

“It’s not about anything else, it’s about whom the person next to you is…”

“Eden, whom I met when I went on a trip abroad before, is my friend. Even though he looks like that, he is younger than Eden and has special abilities.”

“Oh, really? Then can I take a picture?”

“That’s not possible. Even though I came here privately today, I also hold the position of an official diplomat for the Italian government. If an article gets published for no reason, it will make a big fuss even though I didn’t come here to work.”

“Yes? Ah… Yes. I understand. I’m sorry.”

It’s not that Ana is overreacting at all, it’s just that there is a possibility that she might bother someone from the Korean government on a private basis. The Korean government probably knows about Ana’s visit, but even though she knows, she keeps quiet, and reporters get excited and get upset when problems arise.

So let her put the embargo on. She will be revealed soon, but at least I don’t want it to be known right away.

“I’m not going to reveal it directly later, but I will personally visit the media outlets and tear down the people who are the first to publish articles about Ana, so please tell me separately.”

“Ah, yes!!! I understand!!!!”

If there’s a good thing about coming out, is that threats work well? In the past, I had to go through the cumbersome process of telling people who I was, but now I don’t have to.

After talking a bit in front of her house, Eden welcomed Ana. She used to be a friend, but now she’s a mother… But it seems like the distance is a little closer than other people.

“Ana, it’s my mom!!!!!”

“So, how have you been? You’ve grown up a lot in the time I haven’t seen you.”

“Ana’s mom is also really tall, but she’s not much of a difference between me and her height, right?”

“You were tall to begin with… But you are still taller.”

“Isn’t it a problem if Eden becomes bigger?”

Eden is a tall man in his mid 170s. Even as a woman, she is tall and as tall as a man, but she has good proportions and a great body, which is only an advantage to her.

Likewise with Ana, her direction is different, but she has good proportions, so it’s not a big problem for her, but if she’s too big, it’s actually bad. There may be some error in her height every time I reincarnate, but she is like 180 years old.

Anything is good in moderation. If big were all good, every human being would be a giant over 2 meters tall.

Other family members also welcomed Ana. And I say hello to Lulu separately, who I don’t know since she came into the house relatively recently.

“Hello!!!!”

“It looks like they added more women again. No, I heard the story, but…”

“This is me… No, that’s okay. Let’s just say I was wrong.”

When I say that I am a woman I didn’t want, I know how Lulu feels when she hears that. She shouldn’t say things like that for no reason.

So it’s better to just pass it off as me being a bad and wrong person. Isn’t it the simplest and best answer?

Ana also came, so she ate together. The prepared spirit brought out her tears, and Ana, who was also a drinker, was very interested and intrigued.

“I can’t believe there was a drink like this… It’s a good drink that can be enjoyed even without snacks.”

“I’ll give you a few bottles when you go, so take them with you.”

“Thank you for that.”

Ana will be staying with us for a while, but I haven’t heard anything about her schedule. Since she’s here privately, it doesn’t matter what she does, but she’ll still have something she wants to do, so I hope she enjoys her stay.

Meanwhile, Eden made a suggestion to Ana.

“Ana, Mom!!! Would you like to come to my room as a guest?”

“Hoo?”

“Is that okay? No, what are you going to do?”

“Ana and Mom need an event to build awareness as talented people, right? Then it’s perfect!!!!”

It looks like Eden will invite her as a guest for promotional purposes… I wonder if this will be okay.

You’re not making a fuss, are you?!
