Automatic Cradle. It is a device that will automatically shake and help newborns be calm and fall asleep with instruments, giving parents a miracle rest of 10 minutes. Maybe you wouldn’t know the importance of these 10 minutes, but it was really helpful for parents that didn’t have any experience at all.
-Quasik!
Less than 10 seconds after I laid her on the cradle, the pedestal broke at once.
Automatic Baby Mobile. It is an object that came along with the automatic cradle that was a perfect match for newborn babies.
-Quasik!
As soon as Sehwa pulled the mobile, the pillar broke.
A Baby Walker. Need an explanation? It’s a device that helps toddlers walk.
-Quasik!
Jumperoo, a toddler toy where the child can jump…….
-Quasik!
Ssoseo, it’s similar to the jumper, but rather than jumping, you play it with your hands.… .(T/N: Ssoseo(쏘서) same with others but babies can play 360 degrees with various toys on the top.)
-Quasik!
The product description and review were wrong. These toys were played by breaking them. Other than that, I bought play tables, play doors, block toys, etc.
– Quasik, Quasik, Quasik.
All toys got equally smashed as if they had been hit by a bamboo spear.
Toys these days were very strong. I could tell it by touching it. They were a bit in jeopardy even when a 50kg baby hit them, but they managed to withstand.
But, the dragon tribe has ‘breath’ and ‘fear’ and ‘heavenly power’, called as the three great powers.
“Kkyaong!”
Our daughter, who ate the Mirage’s mana to the fullest, exercised her dragon’s natural power with excitement.
Huh. There was nothing left. No, apart from that….
“I just bought too many of them.”
Why did I buy so much newborn supplies? Even indoor swings and indoor slides, there was no room for them in this semi-basement. The established theory was that I had no idea why I even bought so much.
So the most successful item was….
“Kahahahaha~”
… the box.
I got something ‘valuable’, so maybe this is worthy enough? It was so cute to see her head sticking out of a box as big as her body.
“Peekaboo~!”
“Kkyareureureuk!”
I hid next to her and then I flashed my face. She really laughed like she was out of breath. Then she looked up at me with her sparkling eyes.
You want me to do it again?
“Peekaboo!”
“Kkyareureureuk!”
“Peekaboo!”
“Kkyareureureu!”
“Pee….”
“Kyahahahaha!”
Hold on Sehwa-ya, I didn’t even do it this time.
“Ha, ha, ha.”
I even got tired of laughing.
“Ha.”
Suddenly she looked at me with a look of ‘grow up, Dad’ and crawled out of the box.
Uh, um.
I’m sorry?
Then.
“Hello, Jongak.”
(T/N: Jongak meant like Mr.Bachelor.)
A woman’s voice could be heard through the open door. The most powerful woman in my narrow world until just yesterday.
“Ahjumma.”
That’s right. The owner of the house. Ahjumma glanced into the room with surprised eyes.
“What is all this? And also, who is she?”
“It’s all my package, and also, she’s my daughter.”
“Ah…. Jongak‘s daughter………?”
Ahjumma’s words blurred near the end.
There’s a personal history in the world that shouldn’t be revealed like calling me ‘jongak’. Of course, I had no intention of telling her about what happened in The Initial Dungeon, so it was not very wrong.
“Your daughter is pretty. Very pretty.”

Ahjumma did not budge at the appearance of Sehwa, which was different from others, but the reason was this.
[ is being maintained.]
[Effect: Completely block the magical reaction when viewing a specific target]
This was because of the Barriers that were placed at the house in advance. I didn’t need to worry if the courier driver arrives or even the ahjumma arrived! But it was burdensome because to make Barrier work in this space, took over a hundred crystals. Not a burden for me but too burdensome for my bank account.
The bank account would also need to bear the maintenance cost of 10 pieces a day.
Well, that bank account was my responsibility, but…..
“Is it okay to buy so much? Do you want me to postpone the rent?”
Instead of complaining about why I had bought so much, there was sincere concern.
“No, It’s okay.”
I didn’t have to worry about renting a semi-basement even if I spent a lot, Ahjumma. Because, now I was in a position to live by receiving rent.
“Why did you put the microwave and refrigerator in front of here?”
If I honestly answered it was because I didn’t want to look at the electronic form that is made from the Realm Guild, it would become too annoying, so let’s make another excuse.
“I think I will move soon.”
“Moving? Because of the kid……?”
She looked at Sehwa with a pitiful gaze. Ah. I hadn’t told this to her yet.
“I’m a hunter now.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Good! Good! Yes! Good!”
Her eyes widened, and then she laughed openly and tapped my back with a crushing force.
“Huhuh~ Hunter Hunter ~♪ The tenant of our house’s semi-basement~ Hun~ter~ Lala~♪”
…… an unidentified hum.
“Sehwa. Shall we go out?”
“Ppa pa”
Then. Let’s move around busily again today. In case you didn’t know, I wrapped her lower body with a cloth diaper, and then put on her thick clothes.
“Come on, Sehwa. Raise your arm~ Oh, good job~”
And I wore a tool to help me hold the baby, aka a baby carrier.
“Aung~”
Remove both arms, remove the tail, remove the wings, it was a hassle, but if I succeed in holding it, it is magical!
-Jiik.
It was torn.
I just have to hug her.
“Wow.”
As soon as I left the door, I was able to find out about ahjumma’s unintelligible excitement hum.
[Semi-basement monthly rent]
-Good sunlight, good ventilation
-A warm-ideal spot who just released a hunter today!
I was amazed at the flyers that were scribbled by hand and posted nearby.
“I feel like seeing a convenience store that produced some 1st lottery winners.”
“Hehe.”
Sehwa also started to look around, but she didn’t really look at the flyers. I must have seen her grow a couple of times yesterday, but she looked a little different again today?
Then! Eat well and sleep well, did that mean my daughter had grown that much today? I’m proud.
Let’s go!
At this point, let’s put a gonggal bread in Sehwa’s mouth.
“Sehwa, ah~”
“Phet!”
Let’s stop.
-Degereu
The gonggal bread rolled in vain on the cold asphalt.
(T/N: Gonggal bread or gonggal pang 공갈빵 is a type of Korean cookie-like bread, also called crunchy balloon bread.)
Yeah. So in the end, everything else failed besides the box.
As always, Sehwa was wearing a cloth blanket around her body and holding a new friend in her hand. It was a dragon doll that resembled her mother. Instinctively, she felt friendly holding a doll the size of her body.

“Fortunately.”
I didn’t ask anything about this in the shop, but I saw and picked it myself. If Sehwa wasn’t interested, I would try to hug it and sleep with it myself.
–Wiggle, wiggle.
I could feel the movement of her wings under the clothes. It was still chilly, so I was covering her with a blanket, but…….
Well, I would have to figure this out somehow before spring comes.

-Tingling~
I stepped into a familiar space with a familiar bell.
“Welcome….”
A man in his late 30s, with a sea urchin-like beard, thin hair, and moderately thick belly fat, saw me while he was giving a mandatory greeting.
“Huh? Minjun?”
“Hyung, I’m here.”
The convenience store where I worked until just before entering The Initial Dungeon. The man and I meet each other little by little every day in shifts, so we got very close.
“How are you?”
“Don’t talk. The customer came back again.”
“Oh, you have a hard time.”
First, we opened up our speech with a conversation that only we could relate to.
“I heard that you have become a hunter, are you a tamer series?”
“Why do you think so?”
From some point, his gaze was turning to Sehwa. Even after seeing Sehwa, he didn’t make a fuss about being pretty, nor did he scream about being cute.
“….. .”
Sehwa was also looking at him. When she met other people, she didn’t pay attention to them at all, but the others would always react quite the same, whether they would smile or say something.
What was it?
She put her guard on.
“That’s right because you have a non-human being like that. Um. Wait, isn’t it hatchling?”
Non-human beings. Hatchling.
“She’s Half, right?”
Significant comments flew in without hesitation.
My friend, Kisoo, who shined as Korea’s highest level title, didn’t even recognize her and kept dubious even when I told him.
Definitely.
A part-timer at a convenience store on a weekday morning, Chae Sunghoo. He didn’t go to another dimension for a tutorial or dungeon. It’s because he was who has really traveled to another world.
—–
June 18, 2002.
At South Korea’s biggest plaza where it was full of the fiery spirit of people who became a big fan of the national soccer team and wished for a miracle. The moment when the Korean Peninsula was shaken by a handsome long-haired player’s heading.
-Kwang!
A truck driver hit a pedestrian on the street in a fit of wild cheers.
Likewise, the student who couldn’t see the truck due to cheers flew away and fell into the Han River.
When I opened my eyes there were 5 stars! 2 moons! We experienced both the traditional Han River gate and the miracle reincarnation truck at the same time.
For your information, at the time, the truck driver was treated as just hitting a tree in the street because the victim’s body had disappeared. The black box was active these days, so you would be caught for hitting people right away now.
A student who fell into a different world after experiencing the wonderful adventure, friendship, love and success of 10 novels. He left it all behind and came back coolly. Even when he went back, his self-confidence exploded.
—–
“……Minjun, you’re a bit harsh.”
“But it’s true.”
“Well, it is.”
Unfortunately, Sunghoo Hyung couldn’t be the one. All the talents he learned in another world have disappeared. The sword that split the earth, the magic that split the sky, and the spirit that covered all sides.
Still, his strong mentality did not disappear.
He had been to the army, graduated from college, got a job…. But his body has become strange. Seizures occur intermittently, to sleep for more than an hour has become impossible, especially after noon.
So, he quit his job after all.
I heard that he started working at a convenience store because his morning condition was so good.
Even if he went to a university hospital, the doctor couldn’t know the name of his illness. But now I could truly say it.
“I thought I wouldn’t have a wish if I just rolled around like a dog while doing a tutorial.”
“…uh? Is that all? Wasn’t that about my illness?”
Sunghoo hyung eyes were shaking.
“It’s just a mana fever.”
“Tell me about it in detail.”
“What was broken after a cataclysm in a few months?”
It was boring to say it several times already, but when there were still no Mirages and dungeons, the mana density was remarkably low. Well, it’s pretty high compared to before the cataclysm, but it was still much lower.
In fact, the body of Sunghoo’s hyung was the same as it was in this world.
“What? Really?”
“No, I need to get drunk now.”
However, there was no way to express it. There was no problem at this time.
“But because of the cataclysm, you have mana as much as a rat tail.”
Would a person who is suffering from extreme dehydration be satisfied with just a drop of water, or would he twist his body in a more intense thirst?
I didn’t know.
“Hey.”
I know if it’s mana, not water. The intense thirst eats up the body. The gap between the body and reality creates an unbalance. That’s mana fever.
“Poo-woo.”
The reason why Sehwa was wary of Sunghoo-hyung was because she instinctively knew the difference between her and him.
“Will it be better if I wake up as a hunter and go into a dungeon or Mirage?”
The returner will always be a returner. Even though he had returned to Earth, as soon as I heard it, I thought it would be good if he could go to a dungeon or Mirage, but he couldn’t be awakened.
“It’s good, but you can’t be awakened.”
The hunter awakening system was designed by Sujin using her immortality. It was the god of that world who brought Sunghoo’s to another world.
In other words, knowing the taste of God’s hands, Sunghoo-hyung was no longer satisfied with immortality.
“Your expression is a little weird.”
“Why? That was the fact.”
–Tingling.
Four guests came in.
“Welcome. Let’s talk again in a little while.”
A boy and a girl who looks about five or six years old and their mothers.
“Woahh!”
The boy went into the snack corner like a magnet.
“Mom. These snacks are very delicious, huh? It’s really delicious. Please buy me, eung? Please buy it.”
That’s very annoying. When Sehwa reached that age, would I hate that so much?
“Mommy! You know what I want! Ah! I! I want this! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!”
The girl also used her own magnet function to raise her neck with a jelly.
It’s so cute. If Sehwa grew up, would it be like that?
Would she whine like that, say she wants to eat it and yell at me asking me to buy it?
Just imagining it made me happy.
“Buy me snacks~!”
Eiy, be quiet.
“Jeellly~!”
After all, kids are lovely
