126 – Afterword – Happy Ending .
7 Months later.
ㅡRattle, clatter.
ㅡPushut….
Under the pastel-colored roof that looks like it was taken out of a painting, the sound of a rice cooker cooking and the sound of a pot lid releasing bubbles and steam resonate.
It was a small kitchen.
But it was a charming kitchen with everything you need.
Two pots are bubbling and boiling, and the rice cooker, which is blowing out white steam like a steam locomotive, is making you hungry just by its smell.
“Uh huh. “Even if the baby wants to sit down and rest.”
“hehehe. No. Mother. “I can still move.”
Lesha, who was carrying the food from her table one by one to the outside garden, smiled and spoke to her mother-in-law Mihwa.
Now, my belly had grown quite a bit and the pregnant woman’s womb was coming out.
The mountain goat horns that towered over her head were gone, the tail that had been fluttering was gone, and her heart-shaped pupils were also completely circular, giving her a complete human appearance.
Since my body was no longer able to handle mana, polymorph was a nonsensical story.
Mi-hwa looks at Lesha happily, picks up one of the stir-fried beef and almonds she made especially for Lesha, and puts it in her mouth.
“Hmm! “Is this really delicious?!”
Lesha frowns, her eyes wide open.
At that time, Nayeon came in, pulling back the curtains in her kitchen.
There was an empty tray in her hand.
“Mother. Is it only her first daughter-in-law?”
“Ah, hoho. “Our second child is also coming here.”
Nayeon takes a bite of flatfish and stir-fried beef and almonds given to her by Mi-hwa, and her pouty face brightens up.
Then Lesha slapped her forearm and made a fuss about her.
“Umm… ! And… ! “This is my first time tasting something like this!”
ㅡPabababat!
“Aya! Ah, it hurts….”
“Oh, sorry. “It’s so delicious, stop.”
Lesha brushed her sore forearm with her hand, and Nayeon apologized, her eyebrows forming the shape of her eight (八).
It comes out of habit.
When Lesha was a succubus, she wasn’t in pain.
I think she needs a little more time to get used to it.
“Hey, it’s okay. “Chaerin will get revenge later.”
“Ahh! No… ! She said she would be a beloved aunt to her niece… !”
Wow!
Nayeon hugs Lesha from behind and kisses her cheek, neck, and ear mercilessly.
This was because he knew very well that what Lesha could not tolerate the most was her tickling.
Cheek Cheok Cheok Cheok Cheok!
“Stop it! Please! “It tickles!”
“We will talk! Side side! I won’t!”
“Aww! Ah Okay! I won’t! Promise! Really!”
“Okay!”
Nayeon releases Lesha only after receiving her promise.
Lesha reaching out to Chae-rin, Na-yeon showering her with kisses and saying that she can’t just do it to her niece, and Mi-hwa looking at it with satisfaction.
Everyone looked like a close-knit, happy family.
“Let’s go to sleep. Babies. Come on, carry it. “Preparations are now complete.”
“”Yes! Mother!””
Lesha and Nayeon quickly carry the delicious food, and Mihwa, wearing oven gloves, carries the last dish and heads outside to the garden.
It was noisy.
With the voices of Taejin and Yura.
“Ah! “Test me just once!”
“Are you planning on sending your brother into the goal twice?”
“Why is the human who came back from the black version so cruel! “You have to be at your level to be able to test my special machines?”
Yu-ra brings a strange mechanical device and starts making noises, and Tae-jin refuses, saying he doesn’t want to go to the goal twice.
Nayeon and Lesha are looking at the two of them happily as they arrange food on a wooden table.
“eee! I wasn’t going to say something so shameful, but honestly, if I hadn’t had the mana booster device at that time, would I have been able to kill Rachel? Didn’t you?!”
“… ….”
In the end, Taejin becomes a mute because of Yura’s winning numbers.
Who can refute that?
To become a hymn after a reckless challenge succeeds.
“Haa… …. “It really only happened once.”
“Yes!! “Try this on your head.”
Yura quickly took out the headset device from her carrier. It was a plain-looking headset with six thin wires attached to the earpads.
It is a device that visualizes the wearer’s memory using brain waves, and it was still a prototype.
Naturally, as a device that requires strong mental power, Yura chose her brother as her tester.
Taejin holds a memory imaging device in his hand with a reluctant expression.
Luckily.
The relief pitcher to save him was mounding up the hill.
Nayeon and Lesha, who saw the pitcher, jumped up.
“Hey.”
“What! Kim Hye-seo?!”
“Kya-! “You said you couldn’t come, but you came?!”
Hye-seo approaches the garden with a shy smile as if the ardent hospitality (?) Is awkward.
In her hand was a pack of 24 rolls of toilet paper and a paper bag.
Hye-seo, who came to the table, gave them to Tae-jin and said.
“They said the completion ceremony was held today. “It would be a shame to miss a day like this.”
After looking at the food packed on the table, he bows to Mi-hwa and bows.
“Oh, mother. How have you been?”
“Ho-ho-ho. It’s still Hye-seo. Thank you for coming.”
“How can I miss my mother’s food feast?”
“Ho-ho-ho. “Would you like to sit down?”
“Yes.”
Hye-seo suddenly sits down.
Then Taejin put the toilet paper roll in his arms on the floor and looked into the paper bag and said.
“But what is all this?”
“Well. “It’s a housewarming gift.”
“Oh~ As expected, tsundere sister.”
“What, what. “I just bought it on the way.”
It would be hard to say that you bought things roughly, but the paper bags are filled with essential items for housewarming gifts, such as baby items, lights, candles for couples, etc.
Hye-seo, who is sick of such strange things, bought all the [Housewarming gift list] That appeared on the Internet.
“Thank you. “I’m impressed?”
“That’s it. “Anyway, when is the due date?”
In response to Hyeseo’s question, Lesha said, making her V with both hands.
“On the 22nd of next month!”
“Has it already happened? “Time flies.”
“hehehe, right?”
“Let’s go – the food is getting cold. “Hurry up and sit down.”
Everyone sits down neatly at Mihwa’s command, and Mihwa, who is sitting at the head table, looks at Taejin, Lesha, and Nayeon.
It was a house for three people built by Taejin.
On the day Lesha returned, Nayeon tried to leave her house, saying that she had kept her promise, but Lesha caught her.
If it’s okay, I’d like to stay with you.
Of course, Taejin agreed, and from then on Nayeon stayed at the house and helped her pregnant eldest daughter-in-law (?).
“Now, shall we fill our glasses first? “Is it okay for this mom to give her congratulatory speech first?”
“Of course~! Mother.”
“Of course!”
… Taejin, who was the host of the completion ceremony, did not even have time to reply.
That’s why she just silently held up a glass filled with beer.
“Hoho. Thank you.”
Mihwa stood up and raised her glass.
Taejin, Lesha, and Nayeon are on the left side of the long rectangular wooden table.
On the right were Yura, Hyeseo, and an empty seat.
It was always an empty seat, but it was always set with cutlery and dishes.
When Mi-hwa looks at the spot, all eyes are focused on that place.
Thinking of colleagues who cannot be with us on good days.
Hyeseo wordlessly poured her drink into the glass placed on Ersia’s seat.
With that, all preparations for the congratulatory speech are completed, and Mi-hwa lightly raises her glass forward and begins her congratulatory speech.
“Well, thank you so much for gathering everyone and building this house… ….”
However, the congratulatory speech did not last long.
This is because the flow of mana was felt by the awakened person’s keen senses.
Mihwa looked under the shade of the tree, and then Taejin, Nayeon, and Hyeseo also focused their attention there.
And.
ㅡHuung.
Under the shade of an empty tree, a wind blows. Rather than passing in a straight line, the wind began to gather at one point.
After a while.
“…… Kyaaak!”
Through Lesha’s screams, I was able to realize the true nature of the wind.
A cluster of lights shining brightly as the wind gathers.
The halo of light poured down from above, and as the halo of light disappeared, what appeared within it was none other than Ercia with a smile on her face.
Elsia, with more wings sprouted, appeared with a more goddess-like appearance.
“Luckily it’s not too late.”
Ercia said this while looking at her own empty space with sad eyes, and everyone clinked their glasses! She puts it down and runs to Ercia.
“Eh, Elsia!!”
“What… hey? Really? “Is this true?”
“Kya—she’s our goddess!!”
“Miss Ercia… ?!”
The colleague I missed.
Reuniting with her colleagues whom she thought she would never see again, the completion ceremony becomes the perfect completion ceremony.
Of course, with a spoonful of emotional tears.
Taejin handed Ersia a full glass, and the saviors who had gathered again on the picturesque garden began to toast until the alcohol overflowed.
“Come on! “Let’s all toast!”
“Wet it. Brother.”
Wave riding started with Ercia’s cool one-shot.
The last part is decorated by Yura, who had the coming-of-age ceremony somewhat earlier.
“Wow, it’s so delicious!”
The saviors who had gathered again had to spend a hectic time unraveling the bundle of stories as the night went on.
No one has any sorrow.
No one left any regrets.
No one hesitates to be happy.
Happy, beautiful, and peaceful days were beginning.
The congratulatory gun announcing the start was Taejin, who dared to attack the apprentice.
“Woof, wow!!”
ㅡHappy Ending.
