I Became a Father - Chapter 4

Translator: Ayana
Editor: Daed

Thanks to the thoughtfulness of the convenience store manager and the owner of the meat restaurant, I will receive about 2 million won. But that is still not enough.

It’s less than half the price of the crystals I just fed to Sehwa.

What’s fortunate is-

“…I don’t have to pay for diapers?”

Mana is completely absorbed into the dragon’s body.

Crystals contain some impurities, but those parts evaporate and are released from the body.

-Pissss

That’s the kind of subtle golden water vapor that comes out of Sehwa’s body right now.

There’s no such thing as a diaper for a baby with a tail. That’s why if I needed a diaper, it would have been pretty embarrassing.

The first time that I saw the tutorial message, it did not cross my mind that I would clear the Initial Dungeon and annihilate the monsters to protect humanity.

If you add up a hunter’s annual salary, it doesn’t even amount to a hundred million dollars.

‘First, let’s bring my parents to a good place in Bongandang.’

‘I’ll also escape this semi-basement room!’

‘If I want to go to dungeons here and there, I’ll have to get a car, right?’

‘Where shall I move?’

‘What kind of car should I get? Domestic? Foreign? Sedan? SUV?’

I was excited at the mere thought.

“I don’t like fighting.”

While spending 1587 years in the tutorial, there aren’t many days that I haven’t fought.

I’m tired of it. I don’t want to fight.

However, I have to make money.

Why did I quit my part-time jobs?

I worked hard until yesterday, but it would be harder to do it today.

I glanced at the books scattered across the floor.

<Required Subjects 9th Grade Public Officer>

<Existing Issues 9th Grade Public Officer>

For me to pass the exam with flying colors, I should have both the aptitude and the knowledge about the material.

Moreover, what I can do best is to make money.

I can’t tell her that her father is bored and doesn’t want to work, can I?

“I’ve also made a promise with Sujin,”

In order to keep my promise, I have to live the life as a hunter.

I can’t avoid it, so I changed my mind. I still hate fighting. I don’t like putting my daughter at risk even more. I thought of a simple solution.

“It’s okay as long as I don’t fight, right?”

I’ll live as a hunter. As long as I don’t fight, it will be okay.

I don’t have to fight, do I?

* * *

Sehwa eats three meals a day.

She naps 2 times every 2 hours and sleeps for 10 hours or more at night.

Considering that a human baby eats more than eight times a day and sleeps more than three hours in a row, she’s an angel~ an angel.

Oh, my angelic dragon!

That doesn’t mean that it’s not difficult. It is a lie that raising a child is not difficult. If there is a more serious lie than that….

“Kkyauuuung~!”

‘My daughter is the apple of one’s eye.’ I am convinced that there is no biggest lie in the world than this.

“Kkeuooook!”

It hurts.. It hurts so much.

Only one finger came in! The first blow in 1587 years and I was attacked in my eye while I was rolling around enjoying my bed.

It hurts more than when my eyes were scrubbed.

“Aah, my eyes.”

“Ppahahahaha!”

Oh my god.

She even smiles and finds my reaction is funny.

“Oh, the trading window.”

I woke up and prepared breakfast.

[Balance: -15,000,000 won]

[Please connect your account.]

Minus 15 million won.

This is an amount that is not realistic for me, who has only been supporting myself on a part-time job.

The association’s loan limit is 50 million won. The interest rate is 1% and the repayment period is 1 year.

There, ta-da!

If I show them my hunter’s license, I can get another 50 million won loan from the primary financial sector.

I searched hard yesterday before going to sleep.

Even if I laze around like this, I can leech from the country for two days and one from the financial sector for three days! It’s a pretty fascinating story because I wanted to take a rest.

“Ppa!”

“Oopss.”

I made up my mind and prepared to go out with Sehwa. No illusions were used. And did I only look for loans until I fell asleep? No, I did not. Even if I order the day before, I can receive a package the next morning!

“Oh, my princess. You are so pretty!”

“Ppa?”

The horns that had protruded from the forehead were covered with a light blue hat.

The wings and tail were wrapped in a thick, baggy outerwear and a blanket.

It is invisible to the outside but the wings and tail are so large that I can feel the subtle fluttering movement in my arms.

“It suits you so well, are these clothes custom-made for Sehwa?”

No. My daughter looks like a goddess of the field even when she looks around

“Now, this is a dedicated car for Sehwa~”

I didn’t just buy clothes. I don’t buy a car for myself, but for my daughter.

It is a top-notch stroller. Sturdy frame! Smooth handling! Comfortable seat!

Still, it’s great that it provides a foldable function.

I have poured all the money I received from my part-time job into these purchases, but I am satisfied.

Baby supplies are scarily and awfully expensive.

Still, it is the heart of parents who want to buy something good for their children, right?

Cruel corporate bastards taking advantage of a parent’s bond with their children and their feelings of affection.

==========

Sehwa who was dressed in clothes and showed only her face from the stroller’s popularity exploded.

“Wow! Blonde. It must be a mixed blood.”

“She is so cute!”

A little while ago, a group of women made a fuss, and now a mixed group of high school students have come up to us and are acting nosy.

“Is she your niece?”

“She’s my daughter.”

“E~ee.”

After I corrected them about my daughter’s relationship with me, the students guffawed.

“………Huh? Really?”

“Really.”

Why are their eyes scanning me up and down like that?

I don’t know why, but it is quite unpleasant.

“Convenience Store Uncle, I know you’re single. Were you married before?”

“I didn’t do it.”

“………..?”

Some of them recognized me. I don’t remember, but they were probably convenience store regulars.

I’m sure they call me “Mr. Convenience Store Uncle”. They have sharp reasoning.

“Etching!”

Sehwa’s head shook greatly up and down.

The dragon tribe wields a power called “breath” with powerful physical strength. Although Sujin who was almost empty couldn’t use it, the delightful fragments of the Death Dragons were simply a breathless power. Among them, the breath of the three major dragons of gold, silver and red is special. Not only does it have physical force, but it also exerts attributes that belong to the respective dragon.

The reason why I made such a lame explanation at this time. It’s obvious, right?

-Pechut-!

With a sneeze, the “breath” power triggered.

She’s not trying to attack the students.

Our Sehwa is not such a violent baby, right?

She simply sneezed, but her “breath” came out.

It is the extreme of the devastation created by the baby hatchling and the enormous power that does not match her.

The displeasure didn’t go away, but that doesn’t mean I could stand by and watch this all unfold.

[<The First Barrier> Create ]

[Effects: Complete blocking of Mana reactions]

-Jjooong!

I knew this would happen, so I made a barrier in advance.

“Kya~! Her sneezing is cute too!”

They don’t even know what happened, and just coo about her cuteness.

Well, she’s cute, yes.

They couldn’t see her “breath”; they also couldn’t hear the sound of the barrier cracking as a result of her “breath”, so she would look harmless and cute. I understand.

“Good-bye, baby~. Don’t be like your dad. Grow up nicely and prettily.”

After passing a group of high school students, I pushed the stroller again.

“Cough, cough.”

A bloody cough comes out.

“Mom. What is that uncle doing?”

“Hey, don’t look at him! Let’s go now!”

………That’s a misunderstanding.

I am healthy.

When the barrier was smashed, I got injured.

Excellent, my daughter.

But what can I do?

This is your father’s way of protecting you!

Even if I had the magic of my tutorial days, I wouldn’t have made an unrecognizable and inaccessible crystal. To live on Earth, she has to get used to humans. If dozens of people come in a riot, they will tell me to kill her, but…

“Ppa?”

However, I can’t hide her beauty.

After taking a potion out of the inventory and drinking it, I got into the taxi that I called through the smartphone app.

After a while.

“Ppah~.”

“Yes, yes, the little girl also be healthy~”

The taxi driver became Sehwa’s prisoner in a short time.

I went inside with a bright smile and gaze full of regret.

“Huuu.”

The air is calm, but the emotions of those who come and go are downcast. It is a place where the living and the dead intersect, serving the dead and letting them go.

It is Bongandang.

I came here just a few days ago, but this is my first visit to the shrine after 1587 years.

“Are you okay? You must be surprised, right?”

The luxury smoke is reproduced by borrowing the body. This is an era in which artificial intelligence takes over chess, baduk, and even art. It is natural to act like a robot.

……..It’s not because I want to do a personal job, it’s just because I’m confused.

I haven’t even introduced their daughter-in-law, and I brought their granddaughter first.

“Ppa?”

And the granddaughter is not human.

Wings flutter and a tail wags from inside the clothes. The texture is fun. She’s so cute.

“Yes, Sehwa. This is your father’s mother and father. This is Sehwa’s grandfather and grandmother.”

Break Phenomenon.

The gate, the entrance to the dungeon, can only be accessed by a hunter. “Break Phenomenon” is a phenomenon when the gate is destroyed.

What does it mean? It means that the monsters will escape to Earth.

2011. The Break Phenomenon was recorded as a global disaster and had a staggering amount of casualties. My mom and dad were included among the number.

……….

Huh? No, it doesn’t mean that they were attacked by a monster. People were running away in a hurry, so the traffic was uncontrolled. During that time, there were multiple collisions.

“Ppa~”

Sehwa looked at me with a subdued expression. She followed me to the place where my father and mother were enshrined, and then quickly stuck to me.

“Ppapa.”

Then she reaches out and caresses my cheek.

“Are you comforting me?”

I was honestly relieved.

I am different from yesterday. It’s not an idiom, I’m really seriously different.

I was worried that even the longing and affection for my parents would dissipate.

I don’t have tears like before, but I still feel a bit down. The days I was with them were about to dissolve into dust before my eyes.

Oh, my filial daughter.

My daughter just noticed it.

“Wait, it hurts there, no.”

A finger that sneaks into my eye is also evidently an instinctive move to lighten the mood.

“Puuu!”

I’m a little worried about the expression being too dissatisfied for that.

“Oh, how cute.”

Even in such a place.

“Ppa?”

“Your daughter is so pretty. Your grandfather and grandmother will also be happy.”

No.

Because of this place, the baby’s charm shines.

“Kyaha~”

A baby’s bright laughter has the power to brighten the surroundings.

“Oh my god.”

“Hahahaha. You laugh well, laugh well.”

And if the baby is Sehwa? Then it will become 7 times brighter. This is a real fact that cannot be refuted. I admit it.

I met a caretaker to take my parents from the bottom level to the royal level.

The heart of the bereaved family was the most important thing, but I thought that if it was an expensive location, it would be better.

“Take good care of it.”

“Do not worry.”

In the meantime, Sehwa took the manager as her prisoner.

“Ppu ppu.”

“Baby, come visit your grandparents often.”

Even if I want to look good to Sehwa, I’ll be more careful.

“Huh? You just got out.”

” ……why didn’t you leave?”

When I came out, I saw a taxi driver spacing out.

“Hom-heum. No, I was taking a break. It’s not because the baby’s cute.”

That’s great because I was going to take a taxi anyway.

“May I take you home?”

“No, please go to Hapjeong.”

Even from this distance, I can see the dull stone pagoda that I saw in the city center when I came out of the tutorial.

=============

Cataclysm Upheaval.

Along with the dungeon infested with monsters and its entrance gate, random towers appeared.

In addition to the stone pagoda located in Hapjeong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, various types of towers have risen in major cities around the world. The stone pagoda is tall enough to break through the clouds. Yet while it’s tall, it’s dirty. Moreover, the area is ridiculously narrow.

It’s probably as wide as a toilet seat?

What’s odd is, it is obviously visible; as you approach it, however, you’ll pass right by it. You can’t see it from the sky, and you can’t see it from space. Due to these phenomena, the tower was named “Mirage”.

Take the stone pagoda in Hapjeong, for example. It is the “Tongjing Seoul Mirage”. It was so pretentious.

I would just call it a tower.

The name “Mirage” was not created by the system, nor was it created by the Guardian.

People have no sense. It would have been more plausible if I had built it. Well.

Um…..

Yes?

Mirage! That’s nice!

After all, collective intelligence is great!
