Chapter 922 – [Eden’s Occupation of the Kindergarten]

The reason why I treat Jong-soo’s family kindly is that they are a good family, a three-person family like mine, and a situation similar to my family in this episode, but happier.

Among my parents in this episode, my mother was Keum Ok-yeop of Cheonryongmun. However, in order to marry her father, who is not a military man, but an ordinary person, who is not rich or anything like that, despite her objections, she disowns at the Heavenly Dragon Gate and lives as an ordinary couple.

………After that, the two of them passed away in an accident, probably because of the tricks of the Absolute of Destiny. Oh, it’s crazy to even think about it.

It’s also the result of my carelessness, but in the end, if the absolute of fate had decided to kill my parents this episode, I would have killed them somehow out of my reach. The more you really think about it, the bitch.

Anyway, Jongsu’s mother was also a military man. Her skills weren’t that great, but she was at least able to drink better than a fairly large adult man thanks to a bit of learned martial arts.

“Was Eden’s father one of them?”

“Well, strictly speaking, that is.”

Because I am famous as a soldier rather than as a cook. At least in the organization of people with special abilities, there is no one who does not know my name. Even now, there are people whining and asking me to teach them some martial arts.

Rather than anything like that, I want a reputation that Eden can boast about…

“You seem to have mastered your internal energy to a certain extent, but the level of training is not that high compared to your internal energy. Maybe at some point you stopped training and only practiced the simbeop, right?”

“To be able to recognize that at a glance… You’re a master.”

When you reach the level, you can see the level of your opponent. You can find out what kind of martial arts the opponent is using and what level it is by developing muscles, rather than simply looking at the level of inner strength.

When you become a fitness trainer, you see that your lower body muscles are weak, and you think, “Oh, that guy didn’t do much lower body exercise.” That’s the realm of experts.

“I’m from Jinraemun. It’s been about 10 years since I resigned…”

“Uh…Sorry, I haven’t heard of it.”

“No, even in this country alone, there are dozens of clans big and small.

It’s a munpa I’ve never heard of, so it’s probably affiliated with Cheonmuhoe and operated as a lower munpa, but it’s a name I don’t know anyway. It’s a different story when I’m close to Cheonmuhoe and everyone there knows.

I was sneakily looking towards the tent where Jongsu was sleeping. It’s like me, but the difference is that that child is living happily with his parents.

At least in this episode, if my parents were still alive, I would show them my grandchild, Eden…….. It tastes bitter.

“Are you two fighters too? No, Eden’s mother doesn’t seem to have learned martial arts, but she’s a psychic?”

“Our insiders are first of all ordinary people. I am the unmanned side. However, I have also disowned the house and came out.”

“They are similar to us, but the situation for men and women is opposite.”

“It’s the same situation as my parents. My mother came out the door to marry her father.”

“Then the two of you…”

“He passed away when I was young.”

“I asked something wrong. I’m sorry.”

When I was a child, it was not simply a child’s time, but a newborn baby, and that was when I was in my mother’s womb. I was born not even full term, not even 10 months old, so I took care of a handong incubator.

The real man objectively said that my birth was miserable. I was born an orphan, but my only guardian was my old lady who was indifferent to me.

Honestly, if I wasn’t a reincarnated person, I would have been pierced long ago and learned magic skills.

“Still, it’s nice to see a happy family. I was taken to my parents’ house when I was young, but I turned it down and came out. As expected, love is the best in a family.”

“Yes, I don’t regret coming out of my family either.”

When I look at Jongsu’s family, I feel like seeing my parents who could have been happy.

They are already dead now, but I believe they will live a happy life in the next episode. If that bitch, who is the absolute destiny of fate, doesn’t take care of that much, the next time I see him, I’ll end up with a bad joke, and I’ll have to fight.

Unlike TV, the reason I can win against the Absolute of Destiny is because there is no one to lose but me. I can’t use my hands on Zion or Eden, and even in the worst case, I can’t even kill myself. Even if she loses me, it ends up hurting and hard, so I can attack her.

“You don’t seem to teach Jongsu martial arts, do you?”

“Yes, but I didn’t abolish the martial arts I learned as a family, but I’m not allowed to teach them to my children. Oh, did Eden learn it?”

“In the first place, my family had never learned martial arts, so I was going to keep my mouth shut and there was nothing. That’s why I was teaching them.”

If you ask parents to talk about their children, it is basic to talk for a few hours. Especially when it comes to education issues.

I was teaching Eden the basic way to handle spiritual power, body strengthening through it, and various spiritual special abilities. In fact, I haven’t told you about other martial arts yet, but for now, spiritual power is enough.

No, the more they taught me, the more Eden’s aptitude for spiritual power was so great… It wasn’t for nothing that he opened his eyes to English since he was a baby and went to see ghosts. Rather than learning martial arts or magic for nothing, I think it would be better to dig into spiritual abilities or their systems based on spiritual power.

Of course, even if you learn that way, you can ascend to the Transcendentalist. Rather, his versatility can be better than me, who is not good at anything other than fighting.

But I don’t know much about the deepening part of the spiritual power side. There are magic spells that use spiritual power and spirit magic, and there are more types of methods than I thought, but I don’t have the talent for that, so I have relatively little knowledge.

Maybe this way, I’d better ask Lucian, the most knowledgeable and perverted guy I know.

Later, before Eden graduates from kindergarten and enters elementary school, it would be better if he enters the advanced course while he has time. It’s not an overseas trip, it’s a trip to a different dimension……..Before entering elementary school, my brain would be bigger than now, so I wonder if Eden could understand.

Anyway, after talking like that, I confirmed that it was quite late in the night, and decided to finish my seat. And one thing before that.

“It’s best if it doesn’t happen, but I’ll give you my contact number, so if you have a problem later, please contact me.”

“Yes?”

“It’s not a place where you can come out just because you want to come out. I don’t know if it will be 10 years or 20 years, but there will definitely be problems in one way or another. Even if you look at it like this, you have your own strength, so it will be helpful.”

“……..Thank you”

The reason why I am giving this favor is because I want them to live happily and for a long, long time with a family like my parents in this episode.

On the one hand, it’s just simple self-satisfaction, but if there is someone who is helped by it, that self-satisfaction is good.

After finishing the table like that, me and Shion enter the tent. Shion, who had been quietly eating the remaining meat while I and Jong-su’s mother were talking, finally opened her mouth.

“Do you remember your parents?”

“I can’t say no”

“Because you’ve never grown up being loved by your real parents. I thought a family like that would bother you.”

“I can’t help it. I guess I’m still human.”

“It seems more like someone’s child than a human being.”

And I, who was someone else’s child, grew up and became a parent with a daughter named Eden.

No, there are many who have children. They also loved their children as parents. However, Eden felt something different, and she felt even more connected to her position as a parent.

So the second day of the trip passes by.

* * * *

Third day of the trip. Well, it was the second day for Jongsu’s family, but it ended up being the same day for both families.

I’ll play in the water a little in the morning and go back around lunchtime. Then, after having lunch or dinner at home… After finishing that and having a good rest, the routine begins again on Monday.

Well, even if you can’t travel, you have to go for 2 nights and 3 days to feel like you’ve traveled. 2 days and 1 night is too short since you only sleep for one night.

“What about this morning?”

“I drank so much yesterday, so I’m going to need a hangover. I’m going to cook ramen.”

“Ramen is good. The taste of ramen you eat while traveling is special.”

Ramen is delicious eaten as it is, but it tastes even better if you boil it with additional ingredients. Just adding one simple recipe changes the taste.

Actually, if I was going to have a hearty meal, I would have sliced ​​some beef and cooked beef ramen, which is great even if I eat it without rice, but today is the day after the adults drink, so I plan to boil it with seafood ramen.

I wonder if I brought enough seafood to boil seafood ramen, but the ice box was empty. There is at least one squid left, but this is not enough to make seafood ramen.

“I prepared the heads of shrimp I prepared for today and dried them on the grill. Since the internal organs are still intact, the most delicious part remains the same.”

“There are quite a few shrimp heads.”

“I have some that I have collected in advance, and since Eden doesn’t know how to eat the head when he peels the otters for him, I also have a separate collection of those as well.”

Shrimp have an intestine on the side of the head. And the intestines are delicious. There are not many places that sell giblets that are difficult to clean.

I collected such shrimp heads separately and cooked them as if drying them on a low heat on the grill. Thanks to this, the moisture is blown away and the taste is more condensed.

Of course, if you do it too much, it will burn and lose its taste, so it’s important to do it in moderation. Cooking is timing.

Anyway, I use those shrimp heads to make broth. Before soup or noodles, boil water in a pot and put shrimp heads in it to infuse the flavor.

“It feels like boiling beef bone broth.”

“It takes a lot of work to cook a single ramen, but it’s just as tasty. Cooking is as delicious as the amount of effort put into it.”

There is no way that a dish prepared with great care is tasteless. If it doesn’t taste, you must have made a mistake somewhere.

Anyway, I took out the shrimp heads that had been boiled for a while. With this, the shrimp did their part.

Next, I put the soup in….The next thing I put in is not noodles, but squid.

For reference, the squid was not thickly sliced. Rather, cut them thin and long like squid and throw them into boiling water.

If you cut the squid thickly, it will stand out and taste strong, but if you slice it thinly, it will come along with you while eating the noodles, giving an accent with a chewy texture in the middle. The chewiness of noodles and the chewiness of squid are different, so the two senses will delight your tongue more.

And only then throw the noodles. And wait a while.

“Wouldn’t it be better if the noodles were chewy?”

“Wouldn’t that be the best? The spread side makes people like it.”

When boiling ramen, there are people who often boil it until it spreads slightly. Well, that part is personal preference, but in a place like this, it’s better to make it chewy.

If the amount is large, it will take time to eat even if there are many people, so the spread noodles spread more and become puffy. Eating noodles like that is quite vexing, so this is better if possible.

It’s not like there’s al dente in pasta for nothing. If you cook it slightly undercooked, it will be chewy and the noodles will not burn that much over time.

Slice some green onion and put some red pepper in here…. Since the kids will eat it, it shouldn’t be too spicy, so I’ll leave it out.

By the time the ramen was almost finished, Eden and others woke up as if they were awakened by the smell of ramen. In particular, Jong-soo’s parents were desperate for soup, probably because they drank yesterday.

“Oh, are you awake? First of all, I cooked ramen for breakfast. Let’s eat it together.”

“Uh, I’m taking care of you like this until morning… Thank you for eating well.”

“What? It’s much better to eat together in a place like this.”

“Wow!!!! Eating together is so much better!!!!”

Look, our Eden is like that too.

Seafood ramen boiled with shrimp and squid in broth. On the surface, seafood looks nothing more than finely chopped squid, but the real taste of this ramen is in the broth.

After putting ramen noodles in their bowls and adding Korean characters to the soup, the children eat the noodles first, while the adults drink the soup first.

Originally, the next day after drinking alcohol, I crave soup as a hangover and to replenish the nutrients consumed by the recoil of drinking alcohol. So, the ramen I’m eating right now has a situational adjustment, so the taste is fantastic.

“It’s big !!!! The broth is awesome !!!! No, there’s not much seafood, how tastes so cool?!”

“I collected the shrimp heads separately, dried them, and made a separate soup with them.

“If the store opens later, I will definitely visit it once a week with my family!!!”

Cool seafood ramen with kimchi and slurp. To be honest, I think this combination is a scam.

Since there are six people including the child, we cooked more than 10 ramen noodles, but it was still not enough. However, because the soup was delicious, I heated up the leftover Hetbahn, threw it in, and ate it like porridge. It was also delicious.

“It’s morning, but I feel like I ate too much.”

“How long has it been since I ate like this in the morning…”

“Well, eating, sleeping, and playing are all there is on a trip. After eating, rest.”

If you’re full and don’t want to move, you can rest. No one is forcing you to move right away.

While the adults rested, the children rested until they were digested and went back into the valley to play. It’s the end now, so enjoy the time until then.

But eventually the time of parting comes. Me, Shion, and Jongsu’s parents set up the tent, collected the trash, and prepared to leave.

Yesterday we played all day, but the kids want to play more. When it’s time to go, he looks sad. The good news is that it doesn’t get wasted.

“Hey, I want to play more…”

“You can’t live here playing every day. Eden won’t see his kindergarten friends?”

“Ah!!!! I have to play with my friends!!!!”

Adults have jobs, children have friends. After all, there was a place to return to, so I had to go back.

Jongsu’s father and I exchanged contact information. Of course, I also gave Jongsu’s mother his contact information yesterday, but this was more private.

“I’ll see you later when the opportunity arises. I owe you a lot this time.”

“What is it? It’s nice that Eden has fun playing with Jongsu too.”

As I was about to leave, the otter clung to Eden, crying bitterly as if he had noticed the situation. It was so sacred that it was difficult to part.

“Pieree Ee eh !!!!!

“Oh, look how noisy this guy is. Eden, can you tell the otter to stay still?”

“Otter, stay still!!!”

“Pep?”

It barely calmed down, but Eden seemed to have lingering feelings. But wild animals must be left in the wild. At least, if not to be responsible for its life until it dies.

“Horizon has an artificial valley for recreation, but…”

“But it can’t be done. We have to let Eden know that there are things in the world that can’t be done.”

Sometimes there are ties that may never meet again. Even if they visit again next year, it is questionable whether the wild otters will survive a year later. Since they are predators, they may die from disease or accidents, although they do not know their natural enemies.

However, there is also the possibility of encountering the opposite. That’s why people promise the next thing after parting.

“Let the otter come to see you again next year, Eden.”

“Next year?”

“Yeah, next year. If I come back then, I’ll be able to see the otter.”

Eden stroked the otter for the last time. I hope Eden can see that otter again next year.

And after that, he says goodbye to Jong-su.

“See you next time, Eden!!!!”

“Ugh!!! See you next time!!!!”

To Eden, he is one of his friends, but to Jongsu, is Eden the only one he wants to get closer to? Their reactions were quite different.

Well, what kind of a kid is our Eden? If you’re a boy, of course you want to be friends with a pretty girl.

I said goodbye and got in the car. Even in the car, Jong-su continues to greet Eden by waving his hand. And the greeting continued until each other’s car got farther away.

“It was a pretty enjoyable trip”

“Okay, let’s come again next time”

It seems to be pretty neat here. There were good things and there were bad things, but it was still good.

That’s how Eden’s summer passed and the end of the year began to approach.

Oh, what does that mean?

It means Santa’s second visit is coming!!!!!
