Chapter 897 – [Eden’s Occupation of the Kindergarten]

As a result, Dahee was the culprit who stole Eden’s sticker. It was because the tip of her finger was smeared with pink crayons that Eden had put on her sticker.

Eden decided to call Dahee and share her story.

“Dahee, do you want to come out for a minute?”

“What? Why me?”

“The teacher is looking for you.”

At that, Dahee flinched and put on a nervous expression.

It was because Dahee herself thought that the thief was numb, and that was the only thing the teacher could call.

Dahee did not know that Eden’s words were lies and had no choice but to follow them. But when she came out of class and no one was outside, let alone a teacher, she realized she had been tricked.

“What!!!! There is no teacher!!!!! I’m going to say that I lied!!!!!”

“Why did you steal my stickers?”

“……..!!!!!”

Dahee was taken aback. However, since he couldn’t just admit it, he shook his head violently and denied it.

“What are you talking about? Why me? I didn’t steal your sticker!”

“I put pink crayon powder on my stickers. But someone stole it, and you’re the only other kid with pink crayon powder on your hands.”

“Ugh……!!!”

There is solid evidence. Dahee belatedly tried to wipe off the pink crayons on her fingertips, but even so, it only smeared a little more.

“Why did you steal my stickers?”

“……..”

Dahee remained silent. Eden decided to wait until she spoke in front of her.

On purpose, Eden did not directly tell the teacher that Dahee was the culprit. She just said the culprit was the one with the pink crayons on her hand.

That said, I don’t know that Dahee is the culprit unless the teacher looks at the CCTV or something. Likewise, she deliberately did not ask Eden who the culprit was, because if the teacher solved the problem among her children, she would have better results than scolding herself.

In other words, this place is a place where Eden can forgive Dahee.

“I hate you”

“Have I done anything bad to you?”

“You took my seat away!!!!”

“What seat?”

“You’re bad!!!! Because you’re pretty and you’re strong!!!!”

If I was a strong kid, I’d be uglier than Dahee, so that’s okay.

As long as you’re pretty, you’ll be weak, so you can win.

But Eden resembles Shion in her appearance and the worst in her body. She was born with both her looks and her powers thanks to him.

Dahee’s feelings are jealousy and inferiority complex. He did this because nothing could beat Eden and he couldn’t pressure him through other kids.

“Is that why you hate it?”

“Okay!!!!”

“I’m not just pretty and strong”

“What……..”

“I like delicious food, I like combined robots, and I also like plants and animals… Anyway.”

A person’s value does not lie only in external factors.

If that were the case, people born disabled in this world would have been euthanized as soon as they were born. Even if the body is a little uncomfortable, what is inside is no different from ordinary people, so humans are equal.

Eden learned from the worst that human beings are not important on the outside, but on the inside. Except for being a murderer, the worst thing is that he has a decent level of ethics.

“I don’t know about you, and you don’t know about me either.

“Oh, um…”

A child is emotional, but Eden is logical. She wondered if logical persuasion would work for the emotionally charged child, but since she was the same child, the explanation was simple, so he could understand what he was trying to say.

And Eden held out her hand as if to shake her hand.

“Let’s start with friends!!!! If you don’t like each other after knowing each other, then go then and that’s okay”

“………What is that?”

Will she be able to be friends with someone who hates her?

Even if it was possible, it was a problem with individual distribution. Being friends with someone you know hates you, that’s on purpose, or it’s something only people who have the confidence to turn back that mind.

“I could have told the teacher that you stole the sticker, but I forgave you once and didn’t tell you.

“You’re stupid?”

“No!!!! I often hear from my dad that I’m smart!!!!!”

To say that she was pure did not mean that she was kind, but Eden was innocent and kind.

Dahee was embarrassed that Eden was in front of her. As she listened and understood her story, her anger subsided and she felt only shame.

“…….Thank you for not telling the teacher. So, just this once, I’ll do as you say.”

“Wow!!!! Then we’ll be friends from today!!!!!”

At this point, Eden did not know.

It means that he will have a very long relationship with Dahee, beyond the level of a kindergarten alumni.

* * * *

Lately she had noticed that Eden was bothered by something, but after a few days she felt she was back to normal.

She wonders what happened, but she doesn’t want to pry at all, unless she says Eden is herself. She must have one or two things she wants to hide, even as a child.

“Are you in a good mood, Eden?”

“Ooh!!!! I made a friend!!!!!”

“That’s a good thing.”

She seems to be no ordinary friend. If so, there wouldn’t have been any emotional ups and downs. Maybe something bad happened and we became close.

Sometimes you know each other while fighting. Anyone who lives in a civilized society might say that what I am saying is bullshit or something from a battle water cartoon, but it actually happens often.

It’s because there are times when I feel closer to a person who often quarrels than a casual friend…….. Come to think of it, I don’t have a good relationship either, but there are a lot of guys who are more than friends.

“But what is Dad doing?”

“Dad is preparing various things to work now.”

“Dad, are you working again? Is the TV on?”

“Hmm… I don’t know if it will take some time, but the TV will surely come out, right?”

“Wow!!!!!”

Preparations for the opening of the store are almost at an end. The building is in full swing, leaving behind seats, so you only need to bring in the cooking utensils after completion.

By the way, the store is not that big. Is it a place where at most ten people can sit and eat? It’s not very good to eat with a group of people.

However, while making a parking lot at the back of the store, the vacant lot is made quite wide, so if you make a reservation, you can have a dinner. Well, if you give them enough money, they will accept reservations for dinners, and in certain cases, multiple people.

“Are you selling something delicious?”

“Yeah, daddy’s kimchi jjigae, isn’t it? Not the one in the bag, but the daddy makes it at home. I’ll sell it at my dad’s store.”

“Looks delicious!!!!!”

“Yes, it’s so delicious that you might get sick.”

Even instant kimchi stew with 10 percent perfection sold in the market is selling so well that you can hear that kimchi stew shops are going out of business, but how about 100 percent kimchi stew made by me?

It’s just that mass production is difficult, but it’s possible to sell it in stores. In fact, you can sell only kimchi stew without setting up another store.

Still, personally, I want to show my customers various flavors. Kimchi Jjigae is like a signature menu, so even if it is a permanent menu, the other menus will be sold as limited-time menus.

“In a month, it will become the number one restaurant in the neighborhood, and in about three months, there will be no one in Korea who doesn’t know it, and in about a year, it will be on the Michelin Guide.”

“Honestly, it’s just a matter of time, but I wonder if it’s too fast.”

Even if things have improved in the world these days, it takes some time for rumors to spread. I am confident that I will become famous, but I am not sure how long it will take to get there.

Anyway, this story is going well, so let’s leave it for a while.

“By the way, Eden, were there any boys in kindergarten who showed interest in Eden?”

“Attention?”

“Maybe all boys are like that, so what are you asking?”

“Oh, that’s right. Then let’s ask differently. Is there a boy Eden is interested in?”

“I like them all!!!! They’re friends!!!!”

“No, not that, um…”

Is the love story between a man and a woman still too early for Eden?

Honestly it’s normal If I were asked to explain what love is, I would think for a long time and not be able to properly express it in words.

Even if there is, that’s a stroke of childhood. Even if they love each other from a young age, how many couples have maintained that love until they grow up?

Marriage with a childhood friend is often a story in reality, but it is literally often. That said, it doesn’t happen often.

“Does Eden like mom and dad?”

“Uh!”

“Daddy and Mom will like each other too, right?”

“Uh!!!”

“Then, is it the same that Eden likes mom and dad, and mom and dad like each other?”

“Um…?”

I often tell this story to Eden. This kind of question becomes an opportunity for Eden to think for himself and becomes food for establishing his own values.

If Eden grows up and acquires knowledge in earnest, then Zion will help, but this is up to me. My role is to provide a direction like this and lead in the middle so that it doesn’t go astray.

“Mom and Dad don’t like each other…?”

“No, that’s not what it sounds like. Mom and Dad are husband and wife, but Eden is the father’s daughter, right? It’s because when relationships between people change, the way they love each other also changes.”

“Ugh……”

Is it still a bit hard to understand? But still, Eden seemed to keep thinking of something about her to understand it.

That’s a good response. After thinking like that, in the end, I will come up with a result on my own somehow.

“Someone said before that marriage is between people you like. Is it because mom and dad got married because they like each other?”

“Of course”

“Um… Then is it different from liking my friend?”

“Right, you understood it in a different way. Friendship is a branch of love in a way.”

If you heard that example, Eden would be able to understand the meaning of what I want to say. That there are many ways to love.

One day, there will be one or two people that even Eden likes. But there are times when she doesn’t even know her feelings herself. Because humans are irrational and contradictory creatures.

At that time, what I have taught you will help you realize yourself. If you can distinguish whether it is love or friendship, you can solve your adolescent worries.

Oh, by the way, there is only one condition for the man Eden brought.

It must be strong enough to protect Eden.

Of course, the test tube is me.

I won’t kill you, but if you can’t overcome me, our Eden won’t give it to you!!!!!!!!!!!

“Do you really intend to live with Eden wearing it for the rest of your life?”

“Honestly, it’s not that bad.”

“Usually you’re the type to stop me, but I don’t know why you’re outraged when Eden talks about marriage.”

“When I think that our Eden is bringing an ugly boy from somewhere, I think of the shotgun for fathers with daughters that I keep in Horizon.”

“Eden seems to never marry for the rest of his life”

“No, if a guy who can beat me comes out later, Eden can marry me with peace of mind.”

“Are you thinking of accepting your son-in-law as an absolute? No, the age difference…”

“Anyway, age difference is meaningless between transcendent people.”

“Again, our Eden looks like he will never get married.”

Me and Shion, who are relatively similar in age, differ by about a hundred units. It won’t last until a thousand years, but there’s a definite difference in that amount.

However, unlike appearances, Shion is older. If you think about it by human standards, you’re older than me, but if you think about it by transcendental standards, you’re at the level of a couple with a two-year age difference.

I’m not going to look at the age of the opponent Eden brings. Because it’s a meaningless action anyway. The only thing that matters is how much you love Eden and can protect Eden.

If I look at myself now, didn’t I think of having Eden only after I had only Zion in the days of the Great Demon King and then loaded it?

I don’t know about anything else, but does it make sense that he can’t protect even one of his women because he’s a boy? At least it should be enough to win even if Rod attacks.

It’s a fucking old-fashioned word, but to protect Zion, I won by fighting Warlord. Since I practiced, my son-in-law should also practice!!!!

“Then I want to marry you!!!!!!”

Heheh!!!!!!!!!!”

It was a typical line that fathers with daughters hear, but to me it was more damaging than cute.

Of course, in my previous life, I followed the incestuous route with my older sister and Seon… Ugh.

Shion silently strokes Eden. However, that was just an act to prevent Eden from seeing this side.

She said, looking at me with her cold eyes and a more expressionless face than usual.

“You”

“………..Why?”

“If something happens to Eden, we’ll use each room for about 10,000 years.”

When that happens, it seems that Shion’s name will remain as the person who dried up and killed Rod.

If it’s 10,000 years without Zion, why would I live!!!!!
