After a while, Sunghoo’s part-time job was over.

I came at 11.30, just in time. We bought a 2+1 drink and sat at an outdoor table.

“Pupapapupapa.”

One is for Sehwa.

This was possible because Sehwa was not wary of Sunghoo hyung as much as when they first met.

Even now, she is sitting on a table with a cloth blanket and playing with her dragon dolls named Yongyong.

Oh, did you notice? I gave that name. Dragon luxurious naming was my skill after all.

(T/N: Dinosaur in Korean is gongryong, so naming it Yongyong is equivalent to a bunny doll named Bunbun. Not exactly a skill there bro.)

I opened the drink and split it into small portions and floated it into the air.

“Hap, hap.”

Then Sehwa picked the one she liked and gulped them all of a sudden.

Now, let’s start the conversation.

“…1587 years? Wow. I came after 30 years at the most, but when I came back, three months had passed.”

Sunghoo’s hyung sympathized with the story of his own experience.

“Well, it wasn’t like I was confined for thousands of years, hyung”

I wasn’t a talented and skilled person. When Sujin designed the original dungeon, the attack period expected was about a thousand years.

But I exceeded it by 50%.

I’m glad I didn’t sign a contract, it would have been a disaster if I had signed a contract and started it.

If I was doing a good job…. No, I was confident moderately enough about my skill, but not too proud for that.

I properly measured my ability. It is not that I lack talent and could survive without dying even once for 1587 years. But, that also doesn’t mean I didn’t always save myself, nor did I always step on a stable situation .

I look a little bit more relaxed now that I’m saying it this way. There was no need to tell a small detailed story to Sunghoo hyung, so I finished with a story about The Initial Dungeon….

“Ah! I felt it too! It was really difficult if you got a stomach ache during a fight. I was like that once, too.”

There’s no way to build it. I’m not supposed to be honest, sweet and salty stimuli were always the truth!!

“That’s just how I felt back then.”

“Yeah yeah.”

Excitedly, I shed the stories that Kisoo and watchers could not tell nor understand.

“I know what it is, I know. Ugh! That’s when….”

The story of 30 years of adventure that Sunghoo had never told anywhere was exciting.

“Thank you. Normally, I should have been coughing and sweating by now.”

Sunghoo suddenly checked the time.

2 p.m.

It is time for Sunghoo’s condition to drop excitedly. But today, it’s different.

[The Initial Barrier is being maintained.]

[Effect: Mana Clumping]

It was because I’ve assembled the whole area with mana and confiscated it to Sunghoo’s hyung.

To create such an environment, my bank account worked hard again this time.

I need to recover more power to make the Barrier without taking a lot of Crystal.

It’s not because I’m short of money, but I have to save it for a good living.

Because I have already spent a lot of money for Sehwa’s Barrier.

[Balance: 3,635,050,130 won]

I only have 3.635 billion won left in my balance.

There’s nothing in life, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use it when I need it. In the future, the rent will come right away, and I plan to visit the dungeon afterwards.

I came to the convenience store today with the intention of providing a great source of funding.

“Pohoo.”

Thanks to that, Sehwa also felt good!!

Even though I’ve been talking for two hours already, she’s not fussy, she’s not crying, and she’s not sleepy. She’s having a good time.

-Hwenghweng!

……Hm,I should buy 2 yongyong later.

One of yongyong’s wings was in danger because Sehwa grabbed it and shook it excitedly.

“By the way, hyung. Why did you come back? Even though I don’t know about the details, you must have been very successful there.”

It was impossible for me to choose to remain in The Initial Dungeon.

Since it’s collapsed.

But Sunghoo wasn’t. Apart from his guts that exploded and told him to do so, there must have been a driving force that made him come back.

“I was successful. I had a lot of trusted colleagues,I was loved by many women, I had a lot of loyal men, and people would follow me.”

In the end it was the past tense form.

Well…….

I was like that too, though.

I also had a trusted colleague named Nurung!

I also had a lover named Sujin!

Isn’t it the same dragon?

Uh huh. Obviously, there was a time I spent together with Nurung, but that just can’t beat it.

And there were no loyal men or people to follow me.

“I just missed my hometown because I was getting older in Blair.”

Homesickness, is that so?

“Do you know how much I wanted to play the game? When I finished the SAT, I always was trying to play a console game.”

That’s right. It’s homesickness, game homesickness.

“There were also movies I really wanted to see that year.”

“What was it?”

What was released in 2002.

Spider-Man, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings Part 2, The Way Home, Black Hawk Down, and so on…. There’s no way I could remember the title of all the movies that were released that year.

“The little match girl returned.”

“……That?”

“……That.”

Sunghoo shook his head.

I didn’t think he wanted to see it, but fortunately he has a normal reaction.

“Hmmm. Minjun.”

He coughed for no reason and quickly changed the subject.

“Thank you for telling me about mana fever and your story. But you didn’t come just to talk about that, are you?”

A sharp look that is distinctly different from the empty look I saw while he was working part-time.

Just as he said.

No matter how pushover I am, although I’m the father of Sujin’s daughter, Sehwa, I wouldn’t want to share that power.

No matter how unusual our past history is, there is no reason to rush for help while he was working part-time and get used to it.

I’m being generous here.

“Let me check first. How much do you know about the dragon?”

Sehwa is involved in this matter.

Blair is clearly different from Sujin’s world, Midland. But… Blair also has dragons.

While Midland’s Dragon is a natural transcendental species, Blair’s Dragon is nothing but a destroyer with no proper intelligence.

Therefore, the Dragon of Midland was the faith of humankind, and the Dragon of Blair was the natural enemy of humankind.

The characteristics of the species themselves were similar.

And Sunghoo hyung is the person who has seen the dragon the most on Earth.

“I know where it will hurt them when I stab it.”

“Ah yes.”

As the blatant disappointment came to my face, Sunghoo’s voice became urgent.

“Ah. I know the erogenous zone well.”

“……Wow. It’s really useless. Just know I was just thinking about hitting you, right now.”

It’s useless information for raising Sehwa.

In the first place, it’s obvious why I’m asking, but why is the erogenous zone popping up here?

“Sorry, I’m sorry. I’m in a hurry, stop.”

The moment Sunghoo bowed his head and apologized.

“Ppat!”

Suddenly, Sehwa reached out and grabbed Sunghoo hyung’s hair.

“Aya! Ayayayaya!”

“Look, she’s angry too. Sehwa, isn’t it good? Let’s stop.”

I relaxedly take Sehwa.

“Ppat!”

“Aya?!”

Sehwa struck my nose with his tail.

“Are you Sehwa? What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

“I think she looks a little sleepy”

Sunghoo-hyung, who managed to escape from Sehwa’s grasp, said with a tearful look on his head.

Is she sleepy?

When Sehwa is sleepy, she gets a little sagging, and she comes to me for a hug.

No matter what, I’m Sehwa’s dad…..

[ feels sleepy]

… What?

One beat late Sehwa’s message popped up.

Why, what.

Father was not a doctor.

“How did you know?”

“Dragon hunting is not a fair game, it’s really hunting.”

He explained that he used sleeping items quite often while he was putting various traps on the ground while hunting the dragons.

“It’s just a reaction when the dragon is sleepy.”

Sehwa, knocking around like a storm.

“Uh……”

With her nose stuck in Yongyong’s stomach and lying down, her tail is wagging up and down. Slowly I supported Yongyong with mana and then held Sehwa in my arms.

“Poooh.”

With a mysterious sound of effect, Sehwa tilted her head and fell asleep in my arm.

Ah! The question has been answered.

A sticky and hot liquid appears on the forearm.

This is definitely drool.

If I came to hear information about Sujin, not Sehwa, huh! That, what is it? Hmm hmm. I’m sure I wanted to hear about the erogenous zone. Ehmm ehmm!

“Did you say she was born two days ago?”

“Yeah.”

One day in The initial Dungeon, one day after coming over here.

“And before that, she’s been in the egg for a long time?

“Well, about 1300 years?”

Well, around when I obtained the first fragment.

“How did you know?”

I didn’t tell him such a story and he just threw that word at me.

Sunghoo-hyung scratched his beard.

“Dragons sometimes delay hatching to prevent hunting, so if you only focus on keeping them safe, eggs are more comfortable.”

Still, he added a story that sometimes he found the egg and broke it. Anyway, about delayed hatching, Sehwa was also like that.

Sujin couldn’t bear it, so it took me a long time to hatch her.

“Because it grows in its egg state. It takes much longer, but if you’ve been carrying it for 1300 years, I think the investment of the time required for growth is over.”

“The time required for growth is over?”

“Yes. Every time you visit a Mirage, she will grow up quickly.”

Grow up quickly.

Suddenly, I imagined Sehwa became a wife at age 20 and said, ‘Father, thank you for raising me.’

No. It’s going to break my heart if she leaves like this.

No, there were worse cases than that.

The Death Dragon was Sujin’s body, and its size was at least 30 kilometers.

What if she gets so big like her mother? Oh, if it’s that big, do I need to create such a big barrier?

“….. You are very worried about it. ‘Half Dragon’ will look like a human with horns, wings, and tail.”

Ah? That’s a relief.

“Don’t worry about the other side either. Hatchling is still a baby, so even if she’s growing up, the endpoint is roughly 6 years old? or at least, 7 years old?”

“What will happen after that.”

“Until she becomes an adult, she grows like a human and she will decide. Whether to use a human or a dragon as her base form.”

After growing up, let’s go to get the birth certificate, my daughter!

After growing up, whatever you choose, this father will support and stay with you, so you can choose what you want.

“But hyung, you know a lot.”

Maybe, no, definitely. This hyung knew more than Sujin. Just by hearing all the explanations about ‘Half Dragon’. Sujin didn’t know that.

“It’s basic to understand the nature of hunting.”

Sunghoo-hyung shrugged.

There were only a handful of dragons in Midland and they were considered sacred, but there are a lot of Blair’s dragons that have gained titles as natural enemies of humankind. It is evident that they were so sacred that the desire for reproduction has also disappeared.

I would have known much if Sujin had entered the heavens and the abyss like our tenants and wandered around the world. Sujin was rooted in her world and gathering faith like the gods of the earth. Not to mention that it is much better to have your own world than to wander around.

Anyway, the test is over.

“Okay. That’s what I wanted.”

It’s a little uncomfortable that it came from hunting, but…….

He detected Sehwa’s drowsiness and gave information about growth even if it is not that clear. It’s the knowledge of the dragon that I wanted from the returner, Chae Sunghoo.

“I’ll help you.”

“Thank you!”

I will nail it in advance. I’m not doing this because I want to hear the erogenous zone information later.
