Chapter 1630 – [(Relatively) Daily Life]
In her previous life, Ana… No, is this my standard? By Ana’s standards, it’s a past life. Anyway, when she was reincarnated on Earth, she managed to become a strong person through the Gaia Force.
By that standard, you’re roughly a master user? We didn’t get to the grand master level, but we ended up living a decent life together. It’s good if a couple has similar lifespans. Oh, not something short.
In any case, Ana’s level of power is strong enough to serve as the representative superpower of a country, at least on this Earth, excluding me, Heavenly Demon, and my family. It’s not for nothing that she served as her master user on Earth. It means that she has that level of skill.
Of course, since she awakened from her past life, I have been by her side, so she has never been active because Ana herself has no need to use her power, but that doesn’t mean her power is going anywhere.
“It’s not a bad idea. I needed a chance to debut separately anyway. I was thinking about a contest for people with special abilities, but it would be nice to have Eden appear on the broadcast.”
“Ana, since you’re my mom, I’ll take proper care of you.”
“If she takes it lightly, she’ll get seriously hurt.”
“But it’s true that Eden did it. Oh, Eden, you are also prohibited from using Yesto or Susanoo.”
“Johnny?”
“It’s okay because it’s Johnny.”
If Ana participated in the talent contest, she would be able to eat it raw, let alone the last winner. Perhaps she will win even if Ana participates alone?
It would be nice to debut with overwhelming ability, but… Debuting while sparring with Eden was not a bad idea, rather than debuting while making fun of mediocre kids. Eden is now a transcendental level, so it is obvious that she will win or lose, but if she is as good as Ana now, she can win.
This is especially true because there is a difference in experience. Although her age in this episode is younger than Eden’s, she has memories of her past life, so she has more fighting experience than Eden. Differences in experience are important.
“Then let’s prepare for the broadcast~.”
“Not for a while. In the meantime, you should rest.”
Even though Ana is making her debut, she doesn’t plan on doing it right away. She came to rest during the vacation, so there’s no need to make a fuss by informing her early.
So, she plans to enjoy her holiday leisurely for a while. Well, I can’t be with you on weekdays even on vacation because of the store. I’m going to take a break from the store later, but I’ll do that later when I go on an overseas trip with Eden.
You can’t say you’re going to open a store in earnest and then change your mind after a few months and take a break every time you want… After coming out, the store’s operation is on track, but problems will arise again just like before.
Anyway, Ana gave us her guest room at our house, so we stay there. The party to welcome her Ana passed quickly and morning came.
Luckily for her, she knows that she came to me on Friday and stayed overnight, and today is the weekend. She can stay with me on Saturday and Sunday.
“It’s been a while since I slept comfortably. What are you doing this morning?”
“Toast and kaymak. And a simple salad. If toast isn’t your thing, there are waffles too.”
“Kaymak… Is that the one you eat in Turkiye? It must be a lot of work, right?”
“Eve asked me to make it, so I made a lot of it.”
Originally, Kaimak did not have a good yield unless it was made from milk with a lot of milk fat, but when it was made using milk from cows that grew up running around in the Garden of Eden, it was made to a level that was no joke. Thanks to this, Eden can eat these days by spreading a lot of cream on top of the waffles.
The taste was also amazing. Likewise, when eaten with honey from the killer bee nests in the Garden of Eden, the sweet, savory, and flavor just explodes in your mouth. If it’s okay later, I’m thinking of selling it for a limited time at Eden Mart.
Ana also sat down in her seat and served Kai Mak on grilled toast with honey. And take a bite and savor the flavor.
“Hmm, it looks like they used very high quality milk. I guess this also comes from cows raised in Ethan Garden?”
“That’s right. And that’s where the honey came from.”
“What is it that doesn’t come out of the Garden of Eden?”
“Uh… Pork?”
“Oh, you didn’t think of that. Surprisingly, it seems they don’t raise pigs.”
“It’s a problem if Keter raises pigs.”
“It’s a sad story. Pigs raised in good environments would taste great.”
“That’s right.”
In Korea, beef is ranked higher than pork, but considering the taste, it is difficult to say who is superior. The pork I raised in the Garden of Eden was just as delicious as the beef, so I really want to raise it.
Well, I’ll think about it later. Anyway, there is plenty of time left. It will be like that for at least 100 years, but maybe there will be a chance to grow it later. So let’s think slowly.
As breakfast preparations are completed, the people in my house also wake up. In particular, Eden and Lulu, two of our family’s food budget winners, woke up smelling something delicious and came rushing over.
“Squid rice bowl!!!!”
“It smells delicious!!!!”
“They’re just breakfast raiders.”
“You are not a looter, you are a robber. Give me everything you have!!!!”
“Leave food for others.”
They were about to take two people’s share of kaymak and top it with honey, but Lulu stopped them. I was wondering something, but asked them to put something else instead of honey.
“Would you rather have some blood rather than honey?”
“What flavor do you eat it?”
“It’s delicious in its own way!!!! And blood and milk both have similar ingredients!!!!”
Well, milk and things like that are ultimately made by filtering blood.
First, Lulu separately drew my blood and sprinkled it on it. The visuals are a bit off, but it’s hard to say anything about it because it’s so delicious that the person involved is eating it all up.
This is the first time Ana has seen Lulu eat like that, so she looks quite shocked. Since I ate it with nothing else but my own blood, I couldn’t help but understand it with the average person’s sense of gastronomy.
“Are all Bloodier races like that?”
“At least Lulu is better. She doesn’t eat anything other than me anymore.”
“Eating you is the biggest problem…”
“It’s much better than eating someone else’s food.”
“It seems like time has not cured the disease.”
“It’s nature. Leave it alone.”
Anyway, it’s the weekend, so I have plenty of time. While we were wondering what to do today, we all decided to go out together and go shopping.
Ana and I could go out alone, but if we did that, it would be annoying because there would be scandals and other rumors, so we’ll go out together with Eden. First, Eden is known to the outside world as a friend, so if you go with two friends and follow them as porters, you can avoid the attention of others and make excuses to a certain extent.
“It’s not a scandal anyway, we just did everything we could.”
“I haven’t done this episode yet!!!!”
“Actually, I would like to try playing with fire when I was a minor, but this guy is a strangely law-abiding citizen…”
“Ana, would you ever get hit with a shotgun by your father?”
“Isn’t there no harm in getting hit anyway?”
“And there are already a few rumors of scandals, so I’m used to it, and it’s okay, but it’s hard to keep my face in the newspaper if it’s reported that I was with a minor.”
First, we got ready to go out… Around that time, Shion, The Sleeping Beauty of our house, woke up and came out. Soon others wake up as well.
Korma also comes down from the second floor. Normally, he would wake up early with me and help me prepare breakfast, but today he probably woke up late because he has to work as a Dream Giant.
“My main body is in reality, so I have to take care of my business while I sleep.”
“If you put it that way, we are the same dimensional species, but I feel like an unemployed person playing.”
“If Hanon wants to do his job, he has to go to an empty dimension and create the universe. But if he does that, he has to die once, so I don’t want my wife to do it.”
“I signed a contract with Utopia, but I can’t get used to the Hanon scale.”
“That’s the same for me too.”
Of all the dimensional species, Hanon is probably the largest? Because he can create a universe, even if it means risking his own life. Well, a utopia where you can do that three times is just irregular.
Anyway, we are ready to go out, so the three of us, Eden, and Ana, are going out. I’ve never had to rent out a separate department store, but there’s a department store I go too often, so I just have to go there.
Looking at it, the floating population was decent, but they had set up a separate VIP store just for us. It was like that before I came out, but what happens after? In fact, we will be benefiting a lot even if we don’t advertise our presence by spreading the word that we are coming.
“Since the weather is getting colder, I think it would be a good idea to buy some winter clothes. Ana and Mom should also buy something to wear while staying, right?”
“I brought some things, but it’s good to buy them. It’s not like I’m short on money anyway.”
“If Eden sees you outside and calls you mom, you’ll be in big trouble.”
“Then just call me by my name.”
It’s a bit uncomfortable that Eden calls someone who is the same age as her mother by her name, even though she doesn’t know her physical or social age… Ah, in the US or something like that, children call their parents by their first names as well. Ugh, hold on. The Confucian spirit within me!!!!
So the three of us go out and head straight to the department store. I think I can leisurely shop today, have lunch, and then go back in the afternoon.
“But how long are you staying this time?”
“About a week. Actually, I wanted to stay longer than that, but since you all have schedules, I shortened it a little.”
“It doesn’t really matter if it’s long.”
“I’m going to come and live later anyway, so there’s no problem.”
“I hope you come in quickly.”
“To do that, it would be important to first build awareness so that we can act independently.”
“I think there will be a lot of new releases when I debut. Is it okay to launder your identity?”
“There is no problem. The Italian government also helped us and my father cleared his way and ran the business relatively cleanly, so there are no major complaints.”
“If you have any problems later, tell me. I will help you.”
“That’s reassuring.”
Ana’s family is a mafia family. Well, the time we met in this episode was because of a conflict between mafia organizations, so I said everything. The good news is that it was run relatively cleanly, as Ana said.
The Italian government, which wants to use Ana as a representative of her country, will also take great care to ensure that there are no scratches on her jewel. So there will be very little trouble due to her status.
Soon we arrived at the department store. As soon as I park in the parking lot and enter the store, an emergency goes off.
“Ah, welcome, sir. What did you come to see today?”
“First, some winter clothes. Oh, I’ve got mine, so wear women’s clothes.”
“Yes, then over here…”
At first, there was only one female employee who looked nervous, but soon the crowd gathered around. It seemed like all the employees on at least one floor had gathered here, regardless of gender.
The female employees usually pick out clothes for us or compliment us on how pretty they are, while the male employees take the clothes we decide to buy and prepare them for delivery to our homes. Thanks to this, the shopping itself was quite pleasant and comfortable.
“Dad, I have to pick out clothes too!!!!”
“No, my clothes are fine.”
“For men, I just wear what I have.”
“You do that knowing that?”
“So, you have to take care of me too. No, Um… No, Ana too.”
“I think this one looks good. Don’t you look good in black?”
“Then, should I choose something casual with a black base? Oh, how about this?”
I am the only man here and there are two women over there, so I have to follow the majority opinion. So, for a while, I became a mannequin for the two people and changed their clothes.
Still, I didn’t feel bad. On the contrary, I liked the fact that the two people seemed to be having fun talking without even noticing the passage of time. The problem isn’t that I’m uncomfortable, the most important thing is that my family enjoys it.
I chose a variety of clothes, and because it was a luxury store, the clothes I purchased were worth hundreds of millions of won, but there was no problem with the calculation. Among the three here right now, there is no one who can’t be counted.
“I’ll pay with my card.”
“Then I have to give the employees tips~.”
“Well, if it’s hard work, it’s because you worked hard…”
Surprisingly, Eden carried a lot of cash and checks in her wallet. These days, she mainly uses credit cards, and I wondered why that was, and she said that some restaurants give discounts if you pay with cash, just in case.
“You never know when you might come across a bungeoppang or takoyaki truck on the road, so you should have an emergency fund.”
“But I don’t think I would carry around 10 million worth of cash and checks…”
“If I robbed every single truck vendor, wouldn’t I have to write a check for 1 million won?”
“If that’s you, then that’s probably it.”
It was around lunchtime, so I thought I would have something to eat. However, I was worried about what to eat, but Eden searched separately and chose a restaurant with an unlimited refill tteokbokki buffet.
Even though Eden likes unlimited refills and buffets, she rarely asks to go eat first herself, and it looks like she wants to go because Ana is coming too. Money issues, that is, it’s okay because we can pay the rent for the store’s loss, not us.
“Have you ever eaten tteokbokki, too?”
“I have lived in Korea for quite a long time, so I have eaten a lot. In fact, the period of time I have spent in Korea is probably longer than Eden’s age.”
“Grandma Ana!!!!”
“It was okay for mom, but not for grandma!!!!”
I spoke to the department store staff separately, and they took care of it quickly. Oh, of course, I asked them not to kick out the customers who were eating in the middle of their meal. It’s not a good idea to cause trouble for no reason just so we can eat. Just don’t accept any additional guests.
It wasn’t long before she received word that she was ready, and she went down to the restaurant. The unique spicy and sweet smell of tteokbokki wafted from the nearby tteokbokki all-you-can-eat franchise, which occupies an entire corner of the restaurant area.
As if we kept what we said, there were several groups of customers, and they showed various reactions when they saw us coming. However, at least there were many positive responses.
Among them, there were people who took pictures… Well, after coming out, you can’t catch and stop all of those people one by one. Even if you block reporters, it is difficult to stop ordinary people from taking pictures.
“The news about Ana came up quickly. Check this out.”
“What? At best, I would have filmed it in the morning, but it’s already a mess.”
I also took a quick look on the internet and found that someone had taken a picture of us and posted it, and was also interested in our group member, Ana. She usually gets a lot of attention when she’s around a famous person, but even more so because Ana herself is an outstanding beauty.
-He said he was shopping with a Wakamo shaman. Who is the foreigner next to him?
-Mol? Ru.
-She’s so fucking pretty. Is she a model?
-I don’t think there was a model like this before?
-So, are you a person with special abilities? People with special abilities are also pretty and handsome.
It looks like Ana’s debut through Eden’s broadcast will have to happen sooner than expected. People’s reactions are like this. If the trash can smell it, they’ll start freaking out in front of my house again.
Those who are relatively obedient will notice it on their own, but those who are oblivious, like moths, will crowd around and shout, thinking it’s a scoop. I hate it because it makes me sick just thinking about it.
“Why do I do that even though my dad always makes a fuss when I make noise?”
“That’s right.”
There are many cases where people don’t listen even if you use words, but if they don’t listen even if you use words and violence, I don’t know why they do that.
… Should I kill him too? I didn’t want to kill people in front of my house.
