Chapter 898 – [Eden’s Occupation of the Kindergarten]

As Eden grew up, if there was anything that grew like that, it was the crops in my yard.

Excluding the flowers planted for ornamental purposes, Eden’s birth tree and the tea tree he received from Mr. Illiel were growing day by day.

There is no separate gardener, and seeing that it grows well even with occasional watering, it seems that Eden’s birth tree is exerting the greatest effect, but it is quite nice to see that the yard is fresh every time I see it.

“I thought that if it was something grown by transcendentalists, it would take 10 years for it to be useful, but it’s nice to be able to harvest tea leaves already.”

“It’s all thanks to Eden.”

“Delicious!!!!!”

On weekends when Eden doesn’t go to kindergarten, we came out to the yard and had a tea time with simple refreshments.

The leaves are still young……. To be precise, they are the leaves of a young tree, so the depth is weak.

Eden seemed to like the tea too, so he blew on the hot tea and drank it little by little.

“But, that tree of Eden is growing very fast.”

“I see. It seems to grow similar to Eden, but um…”

It was not a seedling, but a seed planted, and it grew bigger than Eden in just a few years. Of course, if you think of it as an apple tree, it is still a young tree, but considering the time it has grown, it was no different from a rapid growth.

Even at the seedling level, the effect was no joke, but recently, the effect has become even stronger.

“Ohhh”

“Oh, it’s a little lamb!!!!!!”

“He’s back”

“I often see a lot of cow-patterned cats in this neighborhood. I think they’ve become a big fan of this neighborhood.”

The cow-patterned cat that Eden had visited when he was little was now visiting like a cat in our house.

I wonder if this is why I haven’t raised another pet yet since Manggungi died. However, unlike Mangmungi, who died not too long ago, Kkoyang lived quite a long time for a stray cat, perhaps thanks to the birth tree of Eden.

Anyway, the little cat squeezed through the iron bar at the front door of our house and showed Eden a friendly cat-like headbutt. Eden caresses the neck of the purring cat.

A child and a cat, the combination of these two is a scam. Me and Shion leisurely eat tea and snacks while watching Eden happily.

“Oohhh”

“Dad!!!! Little cat wants a snack!!!!!!”

“Oh, that bastard. Every time he comes to my house, he says that.”

“Still, why don’t you ask for food?”

“There’s no need to feed them unless they’re raising them. I don’t know if they’ll bring me some snacks from time to time.”

A kitten is a stray cat, not a companion animal. Even though it was half a companion animal, in the end, it was a stray cat without an owner. That’s why in our house, we don’t give rice even if we give snacks to the kitten. There are churros in the fridge, but no cat food.

The reason for this is to let Eden know the meaning of being responsible for one life, just like Mangmungi.

Giving food means that you are responsible for the livelihood of the animal. I wouldn’t know if I raised a kocat in earnest at my house, but I was a stray cat from the beginning, and I had no intention of forcibly turning a kocat that wanted freedom into a housecat.

Later, when the kitten gets older and it becomes difficult to live on the street, then we will see if Eden will bring it home according to Eden’s will.

“Come on, kid. Chure is here!!!!!”

“Ohhhhh!!!!”

As soon as Kkoyang saw Chure, he went crazy and cried. Eden holds out Chur to such a kitten, and she feeds it slowly.

Communicating with animals is a law that helps children grow. Even now, Eden seemed very happy.

“……It’s scary to suddenly think about the future.”

“What are you thinking?”

“I’m thinking of taking Eden to the slaughterhouse”

“Honestly, I want to dry it, but I can’t help it, so I have no choice but to do it.”

As there is a story of a person who went to a slaughterhouse and became a vegetarian, the sight of animals dying in groups is very gruesome.

Blood flows and flesh splatters. However, it was a necessary act for humans to eat meat.

Eden was not going to live in a civilized society for the rest of his life, and he had to learn how to slaughter. She says yes, and when she asks if she needs to go to the slaughterhouse, she wonders if she can become a chef and become a big success if she doesn’t know the process.

Humans can only survive by killing and eating something. In the future society, even if cultured meat is raised and eaten, only the direction will eventually change.

“Let’s see Eden grow up later”

“Yes, it was still far away.”

Should I at least go from middle school to high school… It’s a not-too-distant future, but it’s not that close either. Because Eden will still have more days to live than days he has lived.

We decided to wait slowly. Because that future will come someday.

* * * *

When the weather arrived in spring, flowers began to bloom in the yard.

Thanks to Eden’s birth tree, there were some strange flowers that bloom even in winter, but it’s much more authentic as the days get warmer.

“Take a look at that.”

“Why?”

“Eden’s birth tree has blossomed”

“No, already?!”

It may sound a bit vulgar, but to plants, flowers are like sexual organs. And the fruit is like a child.

I don’t know much about animals, but I’m not an expert in plants, so I don’t know, but when I talk about it with that emotion, it felt like I heard that a child who was less than 10 years old had her period.

………Wait, Eden will have his period after coming to his secondary sexual characteristics someday.

I have to tell Shion separately…… No, wait a minute. Shion doesn’t have a period.

“I don’t know why the story suddenly goes that way, but when Eden gets her period, you have to tell me. I have no ties to you.”

“Write, I can’t help it”

Shion was a man in his previous life, and he is a woman in his current life, but since he is a transcendental species, he doesn’t get menstruation.

You can get pregnant whenever you want, but you don’t have to do something like menstruation, right? So, Zion does not know about the pain of menstruation.

I’m probably the only person in my family who knows that…….. Every time I’m reincarnated as a woman, it’s not just once or twice that I’m in a good mood because of my period.

Even if sex education is provided at school, only the adults at home can directly inform it. And in our house, I had no choice but to play that role.

“I’ll have to change into a woman then and let you know.”

“Of course it should be. When the kids are all grown up, even the father won’t be good at drawing.”

The story has leaked elsewhere, but anyway, to tell the story we were talking about now, blooming means bearing fruit.

In particular, if it is the birth tree of Eden, an apple tree, it will surely bear apples.

………… However, this is a tree that grew from a seed directly given by the Absolute of Nature. The possibility that the fruit to be produced would not be an ordinary fruit was very strong.

“Eden… The apple… The tree of knowledge of good and evil… Ugh, the head!!!!!!”

“Ah?!!? It’s because I thought about it?!?! Why didn’t I know until now?!”

“I just found out”

In fact, when we think of the word Eden from those of us who are far from religion, we think of our daughter rather than the Garden of Eden in the Bible. So even when I thought of Eden and the apple tree, I couldn’t think of that story.

Also, there is a saying that the tree of knowledge of good and evil is not an apple. At that time, there were no apologies or something.

“If you eat it, it won’t produce the kind of fruit that grants original sin to humans.”

“What’s the use of it when there is already original sin anyway?”

“No, that was because Jesus was martyred.”

“Isn’t it invalid if you’re resurrected?”

“It’s okay because it’s after the calculation.”

Original sin in Christianity refers to the sin that occurred when Adam and Eve ate the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden. We are guilty of that because we are their descendants.

There is no such system of guilt-by-association, but the God in the Bible was not such a good God in the first place, and God’s sensibilities could not be judged by human standards.

Personally, I don’t have a good impression of Christianity, but Jesus is an exception, so I’m standing by. It’s because he’s genuine.

And because Jesus died on the cross, the original sin of mankind was forgiven. Even if there are Christian bastards who make mistakes with it, it is a noble thing to say in terms of the great devil.

Can one face death by one’s own faith? And so sublimely that there is no outrage in the end?

Even if the subsequent resurrection had a major impact on Jesus’ existence, it is a matter worthy of respect. Therefore, there is no great demon king who sees religion yet.

Hey, to be honest, even if Jesus is bad, it would be difficult for him to have a great demon king who would look at religion when the bastards look like idiots under him.

Anyway, I turned my attention back to Eden’s birth tree.

“I hope the apple of Eden’s birth tree isn’t unusual.”

“So do i”

And a few months later, by the time fall came, the flowers had withered and the fruit had borne.

I don’t know where it got wet. No, it wasn’t pollinated, it was a hermaphrodite, so even though it didn’t need to be pollinated, Eden’s birth tree, which bore fruit anyway, started to bear apples that were quite strong compared to their small size.

The apples on the branches were quite large. Even though the tree is still a couple of heads taller than Eden, it produced five or six apples the size of my fist.

Well, it may be less compared to bearing dozens at a time, but if you think of it as a young tree, it bears a lot.

“It just looks like an ordinary apple”

“First of all, I think the appearance is fortunate. If it had been like a golden apple, it would have been a big deal.”

“No, golden apples are a fucking problem. That was the starting point of the Trojan War in Greek mythology.”

Even if it is just an apple, the material of the golden apple is intertwined with Greek mythology and Norse mythology.

I’m quite quick on this side, so I know it well… Anyway.

“Doesn’t this apple have anti-aging properties?”

“If that’s the case, I have a feeling that the kids who climb over the fence in my house will overflow.”

“Well, there is no end to human greed.”

Human greed is endless and we repeat the same mistakes.

If the apples from Eden’s birth tree have an anti-aging effect, even the house of Zion, the head of the Hanon family, will be overflowing with offspring.

Especially if you are a human being who comes and goes the day after tomorrow.

“I’ll have to look first.”

“Are you all right?”

“No matter how much the Absolute gives you, if the Lord eats it, he won’t die.”

“It feels like you’ve become Court Lady Choi.”

“No, how come you’re familiar with that title? Did you see it in a historical drama?”

Anyway, as time passed, the apples of the birth tree gradually ripened and turned red. And by the time she thought she was ripe, Eden liked it lively and chattered.

“Wow!!!!! Apologies!!!!!”

“Oh, do you like our Eden?”

“Wow!!!! Apples are delicious!!!! If they are delicious, bananas!!!!!”

“Mom will buy you bananas if you need them.”

“I want to eat an apple!!!!!!”

To be honest, crops grown in the yard at home are much tastier than those bought from children. It’s like making it at home is better than buying it.

Anyway, it’s time for me to harvest the apples in the yard.

“Well, first of all, there is no problem with the appearance or smell.”

The apple was just an apple on the surface.

Even though the kernels are slightly small, you can think of it as being from a young tree. But the smell was fragrant. Even though the kernels were small, the apple scent was very fragrant.

I took a big bite of the apple and asked.

Crunchy!!!!!!

The taste of the apple that came into the mouth with a pretty good texture was very sweet and refreshing. Very tasty. It was the most delicious apple I’ve ever eaten.

“Oh, it’s okay? If there’s no problem, it must be just a delicious apple?”

“I think that’s fortunate”

“I want to eat too!!!!!!”

“Eat one of our Eden”

Since I was confident after seeing the signs, I also apologized to Eden. Eden is crunchy! Soak the apple and eat it deliciously.

“Delicious!!!!!!”

“I’m glad Eden likes it”

“It’s good that there are no other problems”

But what happened was what happened next.

From far away, the kitty crossed the front door again and came this way. Walking around, with a cat-like appearance, the guy begs for snacks.

“Wow!!!!”

“Kkoya, would you like a snack? Here it is!!!!!!”

“Eden, cats don’t eat fruit.”

“Does the kitten seem to eat well?”

“Yes?”

Cats are far more carnivores than dogs. The sound of a dog gnawing grass is rare, but even if there is, the sound of a cat gnawing grass is rare.

In a way, eating fruit is also a vegetarian, so it was very rare for a cat to eat fruit. Even if you try it out of curiosity, you won’t eat it after that.

However, Little Kitten chews on the apple that Eden held out. It ate so well that I wondered if he liked apples.

Well, since it’s a fruit grown from a tree given by the Absolute of Nature, animals probably like it too.

Even if we eat it, it’s delicious, but even if animals eat it, it’s bound to be delicious. So I was thinking of passing it off as nothing much.

“Kkonyang-ah, is it delicious?”

“It’s good”

“Looks delicious!!!!!!”

“………..Yes?”

Hearing something that a cat’s vocal cords couldn’t fly, Shion and I expressed our doubts.

No, now what?!?!?!?!

The apple that grew on Eden’s birth tree seemed to be worthy of its name in a sense.
