285 – Epilogue – A message that came on Christmas Eve.
The scenery of Christmas Eve is always special.
The streets are more lively than usual.
Happiness in the expressions of people gathered in small groups.
With carols and Salvation Army bells ringing together, it really felt like Santa Claus had arrived.
“Grandma, how much does it cost to buy bean sprouts and everything else here?”
“Oh my, is a young bachelor going to buy all of this? It’s 20,000 won….”
A season so cold that your breath is pure white.
I handed 50,000 won to her grandmother who sells vegetables right next to the subway station.
There was no need for change.
“You need to sell it quickly and go home. “It’s cold too.”
“Thank you. “The bachelor is really nice.”
A plastic bundle that makes both hands heavy.
Having a sword in another world was very helpful in times like this.
“Oh, and I’m not a bachelor.”
I corrected her while helping her grandmother tidy up her stall.
Anyway, I have two kids, but I’ve long since given up on being a bachelor.
Who knew we would get married so quickly?
“You will be blessed. Youth.”
“… Please enter carefully. Grandma.”
Every time you exhale, white steam spreads in the air.
The steps heading home are as light as if they were feathers.
We have prepared gifts for our precious son and daughter, and dinner is in hand.
You can dress up as Santa Claus this morning and leave it secretly.
Children’s innocence must always be protected by adults.
Wow.
When you reach the alley in front of your house, your smartphone vibrates and rings.
─ 【Our beloved honey♡】
This is a somewhat embarrassing contact number with a heart attached to the name.
If I don’t do this, another woman might target me or something.
A ring that has been worn since the wedding.
I guess the scar on my shoulder and the kisses I make every day aren’t enough.
“Fine, we’re almost there. “I’m sorry for being late.”
When my return home was delayed, the person who called me out of concern was Pine Grancia.
─ Soohyun, aren’t you hanging out with another girl somewhere?
─ That can’t be possible.
On the day I go to work, I go over to the real world and stay together.
When I have a day off, I move on to the gaming world.
Between reality and unreality, we were crossing it at will.
─ The smell has become lighter…. No, I met a girl….
─ I bought some vegetables on the way. Sorry.
I quickly told the truth.
Ever since she had a child, Fine’s senses have become even sharper.
─ Dad! Mom is so mad that Dad is late!
─ No matter what, you can’t be late today.
Voices of children heard over the phone.
Say Grancia and Eve Grancia.
They are cute kids who look just like me and Fine, with black hair and brown eyes.
I heard that it is difficult for the Inrang tribe to get pregnant with humans.
We made Sei as our honeymoon baby, and immediately after that we made Eve.
‘What a blessed life.’
Becoming a father of two children is a heavy and proud task.
I made an excuse to people at work that my wife was a foreigner and invited her to the first birthday party instead.
Mr. Kim, who I was close with, congratulated me on my wedding day.
There were a lot of female employees who secretly liked me within the company, so I was afraid that it might turn into a passionate fight later.
It’s like a hedgehog that is afraid of people.
It had erected sharp thorns, preventing anyone from even touching it.
Due to the trauma I experienced as a child, I was not even aware that my face was of an ugly type.
If the dinner party ended early, I always ran home.
Even though I stayed up all night during the crunch period, I never forgot to meet Fine.
I have grown up so much since I was young, and now I am like an old photo in an album.
It is a feeling of relief rather than longing.
Now I had to fill that empty space with happiness.
“I’m here─”
“Welcome!”
As soon as I entered the house, Fine hugged me passionately.
Wow, so much so that the tendons on her arms slightly sprouted.
With her tail wagging wildly and her ears turned back, she is definitely a puppy.
Has he been waiting in front of the door the whole time?
He hugs me and slowly walks back into the house.
“Ha.. Suhyeon smells. “I got scolded for holding it in.”
Sniffing here and there, rubbing his whole body, showing hospitality.
Even though several years had passed since we got married, we still felt like newlyweds.
“Would you like to eat rice first? Would you like to take a bath first? Or not….”
Suddenly, Fine lowered the shoulder straps of the apron she was wearing.
“Would you like to make a cute gray wolf with me first?”
A fuller pocket than before.
The cleavage, shadowed by the different density of puffy flesh alone, felt somewhat sensational.
Let the strap slide down from only one shoulder.
Immaculate skin collides with my chest and disturbs my senses.
I don’t think this would be good for children’s education.
Even though she became a mother, Fine was Fine.
“Where did you learn those words..?”
“hehehehe, there is a way to know everything.”
After confirming that she had not met another woman, she smiled triumphantly.
“It’s Dad!”
“Dad! “Why are you so late..!”
Eve, who is still not good at hiding her wolf ears, and Sei, who speaks with respect and says she wants to be like me.
It’s always cute to see him running up to me and Fine to say hello.
I put down the burden while gently stroking the children’s heads.
“I’m late because I had to buy some vegetables. Still, it’s not late for dinner, right?”
The space that was once alone began to be overlaid with the colors of family.
Me and Fine’s wedding photo.
A box filled with children’s toys.
Queen size bed expanded from 1 person to 2 people.
“Wow! Woof woof!”
A white cat similar to a Samoyed with white fur.
A black cat similar to a Pomeranian, like a black cotton ball.
Should we call it foresight?
The gray wolf that Fine had in her mouth was born between these two.
Now, rather than being a bachelor living alone, he is more suited to being called a husband of a family.
“I will eat well!”
We sat down in front of a warm, steaming dinner.
The number of side dishes seemed so large that my upper legs would break.
It was a table filled with a variety of luxurious foods, including a large roast turkey, beef stew, and steak.
“Eve, you should eat without being picky.”
“Only the stew that mom cooks is delicious!”
“……”
The issue of Finega being Jorichi has not yet been resolved.
I thought she had been robbed of her talent by the devil, but it turns out she wasn’t able to do it from the beginning.
I wanted to cook delicious food for myself, so I asked around and learned how to cook.
The only food worth eating was beef stew.
That was also a valuable result obtained by using me as the subject of a biochemistry experiment.
How do I make kimchi stew with tuna turn purple?
“Dad, I want to eat this too!”
“No. Eve, this is dad’s.”
My daughter, Eve, showed interest in the food around me by pricking her wolf ears.
Grilled eel, garlic, oysters, asparagus.
If it were a game, it would be a blatant food combination that could be considered a stamina recovery set.
“Thank you for your hard work today. Honey..♡”
As she poured the bokbunjaju that she had prepared in advance, the corners of her eyes slightly curved.
No matter how clueless I was, I had no choice but to know this part.
“That’s right, there was a letter addressed to your father earlier?”
After dinner, Sei handed me a letter.
The outside of the purple envelope is decorated with gold thread.
A small angel wing-shaped piece of wax stamped and tightly sealed.
It was a letter that looked so expensive that even the word luxurious would not be enough.
─ .
Different handwritings on a total of 14 sheets of stationery.
Starting with the question of what happened to Ariel and Kynel.
Not only does he have a cute obsession with writing down stories about raising children and making jokes about them.
I look forward to your next work.
I will support you.
Thank you.
Many people read the story of me and Fine and there were words of gratitude in the letter.
I would rather be the one who should say thank you.
“He must be a relative of Santa Claus!”
“Santa Claus….”
“Yes! “Because a bunch of gold coins came out of a really big pocket!”
They even come to visit us on Christmas day and hand out gifts to good children.
The one who came to us on Christmas Eve was really just like Santa Claus.
Thank you for protecting the innocence of our children.
“Huh?”
There was a strange phrase written at the end of the letter.
─ It was nice to learn about the story of my father-in-law and mother-in-law’s romantic relationship.
Who wrote it?
There is only one person around me who would write such a sentence.
Rosaria, the daughter of a warrior couple.
Golden hair like ripe rice ears, just like Kainel.
A half-elf with the same ruby-red eyes as Ariel.
Because he’s very shy, he’s only been friends with my kids for a long time.
“Oppa Sei, are you really not dating Rosaria? “There was a rumor going around at the academy!”
“It’s not like that. “We’re just friends—”
Eve secretly stole the letter I was reading and questioned Sei.
Eve looks like me, so you should know that she doesn’t have any sense.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Do friends even kiss each other these days?”
“Hey!”
As soon as she heard those words, she almost took out her heart sword.
This is how Locke felt.
Because the love of the Inrang people is extremely pure.
Even though I want to support their love, the feelings of a father with two children are mixed.
I advised Sei half as a warning and half sincerely.
“Son, don’t act too tactfully. When it comes to dating, don’t keep it to yourself.”
So that no one would mistake the beautiful princess for a man, or say that they did not know her, even when they were right in front of her.
“Dad, it’s not like that! “He just did it on his own!”
“Yes, I completely understand your feelings.”
Rosaria secretly watched Sei practice her swordsmanship every time.
Maybe I fell in love at that time.
“It’s like a penalty for losing a bet! “It’s different from what her mom did to her dad when she was little!”
My son shouted with a bright red face as if he was embarrassed.
“This is me when I was young? Wait, Sei, what do you mean?”
“My mom told me not to tell you about the time travel. “Oppa, we’re in big trouble.”
“… Say.”
It’s called time travel.
It wouldn’t be impossible for Fine to have the power of both a demon god and a saint.
Just out of curiosity, I glanced at Fine and saw that he was not making eye contact with me.
“I played with my mom and her dad who were both equally young…. Yo. This.”
As soon as I heard those words, a memory came to mind as if a fog had cleared from my mind.
Memories of playing with a girl with white hair and children with black hair.
She said she would try to interrupt me from taking pictures at kindergarten, or that she would re-watch my and Fine’s dating days from beginning to end.
“Well, that..! “I did it because I was jealous that he was with other women in the photo.”
Jealous wolves never lose sight of their prey.
*
The clock hand points to 12 o’clock, and the day passes on time.
Christmas a little past eve.
“When you sleep, you really look like an angel.”
“hehehehe, that’s right. “It’s the same as Suhyun.”
I put on a Santa Claus suit and placed a gift at the bedside of Say and Eve, who were sleeping soundly.
For Sei, a scabbard engraved with a pattern symbolizing the imperial family.
Eve is given a large fox slime doll and accessories that can be attached to hats and clothes.
I secretly gave you something you’ve been singing about wanting for a while, so you’ll be surprised when you wake up in the morning.
With this, I was once again able to protect my childhood innocence of thinking that Santa Claus exists.
“Eve is not a Fox slime doll. Honey.”
“What..? How long did I wander around the subway station to buy this? .”
I definitely remember that the doll was hit.
“It changed yesterday.”
Click.
The sound of the doorknob in the master bedroom being locked.
It was Fine who suddenly locked the door and took off her clothes one by one.
“He said he would like to have a younger sibling as a Christmas present.”
Fine, wearing a revealing Santa costume, approached one step at a time with her eyes sparkling.
The dinner menu seemed suspicious.
An elaborately carved body like a goddess statue.
Fine’s temptation was so strong that her mouth slightly opened at the sight of her beauty.
I don’t think families do this.
I don’t think you should do this with your mother-in-law’s daughter.
I don’t think you should do this with someone who was your rival at the academy.
“Fine, wait…” . Going to work tomorrow, no, I have urgent work to do, so today… !”
“After you retired, you became my secretary.”
She became the empress’s husband, and together they ruled the Grancia Empire.
She can no longer escape by going to her company.
“……”
No matter how much time passed, the love between Fine and me was like a flame that would not die out.
With unchanging heat and warmth.
Affection like a lamp that cuts through the darkness and illuminates the world warmly.
“… “I love you, Suhyun.”
“I love you. “It’s blood.”
It is a butterfly made of glass and a fire moth with burn marks.
They are a pair of lovers who wander freely in the night sky, driven by a small spark called love.
No matter how dark the night, just like dawn.
If you don’t give up, success will come one day.
Any word such as nature, destiny, or hope was good.
Because our story never ends.
Because our story begins now.
“Thank you for making me happy.”
“Me too.”
We could continue to talk about love.
“I’m happy to know you, to meet you, and to love you.”
