“Gongdori, I’ll put together a curriculum for winning over Gongsoon, so listen carefully.”
Roar!
[Yes, sir!]
At Sejun’s words, Gongdori stared at him with wide, shining eyes.
“Let’s not stare like that.”
Way too intense.
Groan...
[Okay...]
Only after diverting Gongdori’s gaze did Sejun begin explaining.
Here was the plan:
Learn Sejun’s martial art techniques—Muscle Enhancent Technique and Muscle Amplification Technique—and deliver food to Gongsoon every day.
“And give up on proposing to Gongsoon tomorrow. That’s a no-go.”
ROAR?! ROOAARR!
[Why not?! What if soone else snatches her away?!]
Gongdori imdiately protested, voice filled with panic.
“Don’t worry. That’s not gonna happen.”
Because I’ll make sure to step in and lay it all out before that happens.
Sejun answered with confidence.
There wasn’t a single soul in with guts big enough to propose to Gongsoon, the last surviving mber of the Tricera clan—except for Gongdori, who was already head over heels.
Kkihihit! Nnk! Nnk! Nnk!
[Hehe! That won’t happen! The Great Kkamang’s caretaker is always right!]
Kkamang yipped excitedly in support, though it didn’t help much.
“...Understood. I’ll give up on the proposal for now. But Sejun-nim, will anything actually change if I do what you say?”
“Heh. Of course. Just listen carefully.”
Roar.
[Yes.]
And so Gongdori agreed to hear Sejun out.
“If you master Muscle Enhancent to level three, you can learn Muscle Amplification. That technique increases your muscle mass and boosts your body size.”
ROAR?!
[Really?! I can get bigger?!]
“Yeah. So while you’re learning those two techniques, you’ll keep feeding Gongsoon, making your presence known and building her affection for you. How’s that for a plan?”
ROAR! ROAAAR! ROAR!
[That’s brilliant! I’ll do exactly as you say, Sejun-nim! Ten kids sounds like a reasonable goal!]
Completely sold on Sejun’s persuasive plan, Gongdori began fantasizing about happily marrying Gongsoon and raising a brood of children.
“Alright, let’s start with Muscle Enhancent first.”
Roar!
[Yes, sir!]
Sejun shared so of his energy to help Gongdori cultivate martial arts and began teaching him Muscle Enhancent.
One hour later—
ROAR? ROAR!
[Sejun-nim, this is easy! I’ve already reached level three! Teach Muscle Amplification now!]
“What?! Already?!”
It had taken Sejun forever to learn it!
Watching Gongdori breeze through the technique ignited a jealous fire in Sejun’s chest.
“Before we go that far, go give Gongsoon a food gift first.”
Wanting to stall a bit, Sejun handed Gongdori a whole slab of sli at and sent him off to see Gongsoon.
Apparently, Gongsoon was farther away than expected. About ten minutes later—
THUMP!
There was a reaction.
Twenty minutes after that—
Gongdori ca limping back, face pale with terror.
ROAR!
[Sejun-nim! Gongsoon tried to eat along with the at!]
His voice was filled with despair.
Indeed, everyone has a plan... until they get hit.
The important part here was that Sejun wasn’t the one who got hit.
“Don’t worry, Gongdori. That was part of the plan too.”
Without even licking his lips, Sejun smoothly lied.
Roar?
[Huh?]
She literally tried to eat , man!
Gongdori’s trust in Sejun plumted.
But then—
Kkihihit. Nnk!
[Hehe! The Great Kkamang’s caretaker succeeded in love under even worse conditions!]
Roar?!
[Really?!]
Nnk!
[His girlfriend is way bigger than Gongsoon!]
Thanks to Kkamang, trust in Sejun shot back up.
Sure, Aileen had shrunk her size, but that wasn’t the point. The point was—they were dating.
Heh. That’s just the kind of man I am.
Sejun smugly crossed his arms and grinned.
At that mont—
“Puhuhut! Chairman Park! Vice Chairman Theo has returned, nya!”
Bang!
Theo appeared in front of Sejun with another Child of Destruction in tow.
“Nya?! The face of the Great Hybrid Chairman Park is rotting, nya!”
Spotting Sejun’s cocky expression, Theo launched himself right at his face.
Kkihihit! Nnk!
[Hehe! Caretaker’s face is rotting! Kids, dogpile him!]
“Mumu!”
“Heehee!”
“Cawk!”
...
..
.
Kkamang and his underlings followed Theo’s lead and pounced on Sejun’s face.
And then—
“H-hello... Sorry to intrude...”
The new Child of Destruction casually placed his foot on Sejun’s face like it was completely normal.
“Huh? Vice Chairman Theo, how badly did you beat this kid? Their eyes are all swollen.”
When Sejun reproached Theo—
“Nya? That wasn’t , nya! Vice Chairman Theo only hit the back of their head, nya!”
Theo replied indignantly and raised a paw to the child’s face.
“Uwaah...”
The child flinched, covering the back of their head with both hands to protect it.
But instead—
Wipe wipe.
Theo gently wiped around the child’s eyes with his soft, fluffy paw.
“Huh? It’s not a bruise.”
“Puhuhut. Told you, nya!”
The mark they thought was a bruise simply ca off. Apparently, the child had touched sothing blue while wandering the forest and rubbed their eyes.
“Thank you...”
The child politely thanked Theo for wiping their eyes.
What a well-mannered kid.
Sejun was surprised—he’d never t such a polite Child of Destruction before.
“Want sothing to eat?”
He pulled out a stead corn cob from the subspace warehouse and handed it over.
“Thank you.”
The child received it with both hands, bowing politely again.
Adorable.
“Your na is now Yegiteuk. Because you’re polite and praiseworthy.”
And just like that, Sejun nad the new Child of Destruction.
“My... na is Yegiteuk? Thank you for naming .”
Yegiteuk bowed again in gratitude.
“Puhuhut. Yegiteuk! You got that great na thanks to , nya!”
Theo proudly boasted—after all, his paws had contributed to Yegiteuk’s manners.
“Yes... Thank you too, Vice Chairman Theo.”
“Puhuhut. I know, nya!”
Sejun was so pleased by Yegiteuk’s politeness—
“Here, have this too.”
“Thank you.”
He gave out so ultra-delicious roasted sweet potato jerky.
But then—
Grrr. Nnk! Nnk!
[GRRR! Caretaker! The ultra-delicious roasted sweet potato jerky is all for the Great Kkamang! Don’t give it to him!]
Kkamang growled, barking up a storm.
Park Kkamang, you little brat...
“Now, say ‘thank you.’”
Kkihihit. Nnk!
[Hehe! Caretaker, thank you!]
Chomp. /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Chomp. Chomp.
Sejun shoved the jerky into Kkamang’s mouth to discipline him. Did it work? Who knows.
After giving snacks to both Yegiteuk and Kkamang—
“Vice Chairman Theo, I misunderstood. Sorry.”
Sejun apologized to Theo.
“Puhuhut. It’s fine, nya! Vice Chairman Theo is generous, nya! But give a 100,000-year knee-sitting coupon, nya!”
Generous, huh?
That’s what you call generous?
“100,000 years is too much. I’ll give you ten.”
“Puhuhut. Deal, nya!”
While Sejun made ands with Theo—
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Theo-nim found them first? As expected of you, Theo-nim!”
Iona returned.
“Puhuhut. Of course, nya! Vice Chairman Theo is just that competent, nya! Don’t be too disappointed, Iona, nya!”
Theo tried to console Iona in his own way.
That’s what you call comfort?!
Ugh. I’ll have to teach him properly later.
Sejun sighed at Theo, but—
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. You comforted , Theo-nim... I’m touched!”
Iona was genuinely moved. Truly, soulmates must exist.
“Chairman Park, who’s this guy?”
Theo pointed to Gongdori, who had been standing around blankly the whole ti.
“Oh, this is... Gongdori. Iona, could you heal his tail first?”
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Okay. Power of healing...”
While Iona reattached Gongdori’s tail, Sejun explained Gongdori’s one-sided love.
“Puhuhut. Gongdong, just trust in our Great Hybrid Chairman Park, nya! He’s a love genius, nya!”
Theo boosted Gongdori’s confidence in Sejun.
But—
Groan...
[Um... My na’s Gongdori, actually...]
A slight drop in trust from misnaming.
When the introductions were over—
“Queng!”
KWAANG!
TDUAANG!
From afar, a towering version of Queng could be seen smacking Gongsoon with fierce war cries.
Gongsoon, still agitated from Gongdori’s earlier intrusion into her territory, had tried to swat the tiny Queng like a fly as he passed by—
TRAANG!
But—
“Queng?! Queng!”
[Queng was attacked da yo?! Ti to punish her da yo!]
Crack.
What she thought was a fly suddenly grew massive and began clobbering her.
Queng, now super-sized from combining his natural growth ability with Muscle Amplification, displayed the technique in textbook fashion.
Smash! BOOM!
It hurt. Like, death-level hurt.
Each hit from Queng landed with devastating power.
Gongsoon, sensing she might actually die if this continued, began losing consciousness.
No...
Her vision dimd, and she collapsed.
ROAR!
[Gongsoon!]
Gongdori rushed to her rescue.
If I go stop it myself, I’ll be too late.
“Vice Chairman Theo, go stop him.”
Sejun turned to Theo.
“Puhuhut. Just leave it to Vice Chairman Theo, nya!”
Whoosh.
Using owstep, Theo appeared beside Queng’s ear in an instant.
“Queng?”
Queng stopped moving and shrank back down to size.
anwhile—
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. She’s not dead. Power of healing...”
Iona healed the unconscious Gongsoon.
And then—
“Puhuhut. Since she attacked my little brother Queng, Gongsoon is now an official employee of Sejun Company, nya!”
Stamp.
Theo stamped her forehead while she was passed out.
Ten minutes later—
ROAR!
[Gongsoon!]
Gongdori returned.
And twenty minutes after that—
“Haa... Haa... Was it this far?!”
Nnk!
[You were too slow! The Great Kkamang was late because of you!]
“...Shut up.”
This coming from the one who rode in a comfy sling bag.
Sejun and the rest of the group finally arrived.
A bit later—
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. All done.”
As Iona finished healing Gongsoon—
“Alright everyone, ti to eat.”
Sejun gathered the group for dinner.
“Taecho, wake up. It’s dinnerti.”
He gently roused Taecho, who had been napping on his back, and fed her.
“Hehe! I just had lunch, and now I get dinner too?!”
Thrilled that napping led straight into another delicious al, Taecho threw her arms up in celebration.
Hehehe. My daughter eats so well.
While Sejun watched Taecho proudly—
Trorong.
Tro...Trang?
Drawn by the delicious sll, Gongsoon slowly regained consciousness.
“Oh, you’re up? Here, eat this.”
Sejun carefully offered her a grilled whole sli with seasoning.
Still groggy, Gongsoon opened her mouth like a baby bird waiting to be fed.
Is she asking to feed her?
Sejun tossed the sli into her mouth—
Chomp. Chomp.
Gongsoon chewed slowly, savoring the seasoned at.
Delicious!
Her eyes snapped open.
Who made this amazing at?
She looked around to find the one who had fed her—and saw Sejun standing in front of her.
A male who gives delicious at!
Her affection for Sejun instantly skyrocketed to MAX.
For so reason, Sejun wasn’t popular with human won, but he had insane appeal to other species. If Aileen hadn’t dated him... who knows what might’ve happened. Truly, it was a blessing.
Traang~
Gongsoon began swaying her tail flirtatiously at Sejun.
CRASH! BOOM!
Wh-What?! Is the food not to her liking?!
Sejun panicked.
Then—
“Don’t wag your tail at my dad!”
The peace of the family would be protected—by Taecho!
Enraged, Taecho.
Goooo...
The power dormant in her tiny body began to awaken.
She felt it—strength!
And fury!
“Yaaah!”
With her tiny hands, she grabbed Gongsoon’s wagging tail—
THWAM!
—and slamd it into the ground, punishing Gongsoon in Aileen’s stead.
WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
Multiple tis.
What did I do to deserve this...
Gongsoon passed out again, utterly confused.
