[The first and last event of the Harvest Festival, the Corn Harvest and Eating Contest, will begin shortly.]
[Participants, please gather in front of the Golden Corn Altar.]
The Golden Corn Altar lost a lot of corn kernels and couldn't maintain the festival for long. So, the harvest contest and eating contest were combined into one.
When harvested corn was put into the pot in front of the altar, stead corn would imdiately co out, and eating it was the only way it counted as one.
Too bad.
If it had lasted longer, I would have brought Aileen too…
As the Harvest Festival prolonged, the Blessing of Peace greatly reduced attack power, so Sejun had been planning to try so skinship with Aileen and felt regretful.
Kueng!
[Cuengi is joining with Dad too!]
"Heehee. Taecho wants to go too!"
Cuengi and Taecho looked at Sejun with excited faces, but
"Just the two of you go and have fun. Daddy's going to rest."
Sejun said he had sothing to do and sent them off alone.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Okay! Instead, Cuengi will co back with 1st place!]
"Alright. Since Cuengi is the oppa, so take good care of Taecho."
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehe. Got it! Cuengi will take good care of Taecho! Taecho, let's go!]
"Okay! Heehee. Daddy, Taecho will be back!"
Cuengi took Taecho's hand and headed to the altar. Theo, Iona, and Blackie weren't interested in corn, so they didn't go.
And then
"Winged monkeys, step aside to the right!"
"Puhuhut. Step aside, ow!"
Kihihit. Kking?! Kking!
[Hehe. Can't you hear your butler?! Step aside already!]
Sejun shouted at the winged monkeys gathered in front of the altar.
If you committed a cri, you must be punished.
"From now on, the winged monkeys will cultivate the cornfield!"
"Puhuhut. Cultivate, ow!"
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Let's plant sweet potatoes too!]
Sejun made the winged monkeys farm.
But
Shuffle. Shuffle.
Because of their wings, the winged monkeys couldn't move properly. And while passing through the densely planted corn, their wings would get caught and often break the corn.
The more they worked, the worse the cornfield beca.
So this is why they needed slaves.
Apparently, there was a reason the winged monkeys made slaves. Of course, that didn't an it was justified.
If it was hard to plant corn, they should've chosen another crop. Why do they keep planting corn?
Let's make them plant sothing else.
"Guys, let's show them what we can do."
When Sejun rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward
"Puhuhut. Got it, ow!"
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes."
Theo and Iona stepped up as well.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Just trust in the great Blackie!]
Blackie also barked excitedly.
A little while later.
Sejun and his group harvested all the corn in the cornfield and pulled out the corn roots completely, turning it into land ready for planting new crops.
And then
"Everyone, plant these."
Sejun had the winged monkeys plant seeds of a crop suited for them.
[Persimmon of Accuracy]
If it's a persimmon tree, even they should be able to grow it without difficulty.
While Sejun was making the winged monkeys plant persimmons
Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi got 1st place!]
Cuengi walked over slowly but with energetic steps
Float float.
Taecho was floating, being moved by Cuengi's telekinesis.
"Dad, Taecho is full…"
Taecho had eaten so much she couldn't even walk.
Kueng!
[Dad, take this!]
Cuengi handed Sejun the 1st place prize.
[10 drops of Golden Corn Oil Elixir]
It was an elixir that ripened fruit with just a single drop applied to a crop.
It's kind of like the Harvest Elixir.
"Wow. That's really good! Cuengi, great job!"
It wasn't a particularly special item
But when our Cuengi brings back sothing ordinary, it becos special.
Sejun praised Cuengi with a big reaction.
"Taecho, you worked hard eating too."
"Heehee. Taecho ate ten corns!"
Taecho proudly stuck out her round belly in response to Sejun's praise, feeling smug.
In the anti,
Srrrk.
The Golden Corn Altar began to dissolve into light and disappeared,
[You have successfully held the Harvest Festival of Abundance and resolved the lingering regret of the Golden Corn Altar.]
[You have completed the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, the Golden Corn Altar disappears with a happy heart.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, you have obtained seeds of a new variety: Singing Corn.]
A quest completion ssage appeared.
"Singing Corn?"
Just as Sejun was about to check the corn,
[The Harvest Festival of Abundance has ended, returning you to your original location.]
Sejun and the others, who had been invited to the Harvest Festival, returned to the place where they were before being invited.
"ow?! Chairman Park disappeared again, ow!"
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. He probably went to Earth. Let's hurry!"
"Got it, ow! Chairman Park, wait just a little bit, ow!"
Kueng!
Kking!
"Daddy!"
The group quickly moved to Earth.
The path back from the dentist to the Kindergarten of Destruction.
They had taken quite a long detour, but thanks to it, thousands of slaves were able to return ho where their families and friends were waiting.
"Vice Chairman Theo, we really did a good thing, right?"
"Puhuhut. That's right, ow! Anything Chairman Park does is a good thing, ow!"
"Hehehe. That I'll admit."
Anyway, the Sejun Family felt fulfilled again today.
***
104.28.193.250
1st floor of the Black Tower.
Today was Saturday, the third day since they returned from the dentist. It was also the day the Children of Creation ca back to the Kindergarten of Destruction.
So, Sejun left ho early in the morning with his group to greet the Creation kids.
""Teacher!""
Seven children ran toward Sejun all at once.
"Did you all do well?"
Sejun hugged each child tightly and asked how they were.
"Yes! I studied history with Hocus!"
"I learned about causality from Grandma Brachio!"
The Children of Creation eagerly told Sejun everything they had learned.
Ugh. What are they talking about…
Sejun couldn't understand the high-level knowledge the kids were babbling about at all, and
"I see. Our Dongdong worked hard."
"Right. Our Rangrang learned sothing difficult."
He focused on responding and praising them as they headed to the Kindergarten of Destruction.
As they chatted and arrived at the kindergarten,
"Dongdong hyung~!"
"Shyongshyong oppa, I missed you so much!"
"Bongbong hyung! Why are you only just coming?! Tongtong missed you!"
The Creation kids and the Destruction kids had a reunion just like always.
"Hm hm hm."
While the children were enjoying their reunion, Sejun hurried into the kitchen to start cooking.
"Jjongjjong hyung, we'll get a pumpkin mask soon!"
"A pumpkin mask?"
"Yeah! Teecher-nim and I planted it over there!"
Huljeok pointed proudly at the door leading to the 10th Tower and said to Jjongjjong.
"Gomgom went too!"
"Mulmul too!"
The other Destruction kids shouted with proud expressions, as if to say, "You hyungs don't have anything like this, right?"
And then
"Teacher! We want pumpkin masks too!"
"We want pumpkin masks too!"
The envious Creation kids ca to Sejun and begged him. Even if they'd grown, they were still just kids.
"Alright. Let's go plant pumpkins after breakfast. The food's ready, so go call the others."
""Okay!""
After breakfast,
"Okay. Just plant this in the ground."
Sejun went with the Creation kids to the field on the 4th floor of the 10th Tower and handed them pumpkin seeds to plant.
A short while later.
Kugugung.
The ground rumbled as a massive pumpkin began to grow from the spot where Bongbong had planted a seed.
It's a Dinsional Tree?
Maybe because they had grown into Children of Creation, they raised a Dinsional Tree instead of a World Tree.
Looks like I'll have to run a weekend farm from now on.
Sejun thought he should start farming with the Creation kids too.
"Bongbong, let's replant it."
"Okay."
After having Bongbong plant another pumpkin seed, they returned to the Kindergarten of Destruction.
"Alright then, let's go on a picnic."
""Yes!""
As promised to the kids, Sejun set off on a picnic, with the destination being a broadcasting station.
While producing an album with the Moonlight Fairy, Sejun had beco close with her manager, Kim Do-jin. When Kim Do-jin said he could arrange a tour of the broadcasting station through soone he knew,
This could be a great experience for the kids.
Sejun scheduled the station tour for the weekend.
Unfortunately, Aileen and Flamie couldn't join.
The station was a crowded place, and if soone accidentally bumped into Aileen, it could be dangerous for the people. On the other hand, Flamie was too frail(?) and could be in danger herself.
Instead, Sejun promised the two that they would go on a separate outing later.
Of course, the kids were walking bombs too, but since Sejun had more or less figured out when they went out of control, he just had to be careful during those tis.
And when were those tis? When they ate sothing bad, when they were hungry, when they were sleepy, when they got lost, when they were annoyed, or when they just felt like crying.
Hehe. But I can handle all of that.
While Sejun was grinning slyly, feeling smug,
Kueng!
[We've arrived!]
Using telekinesis to transport himself and the group, Cuengi landed on the rooftop of the broadcasting station and announced.
"You did great, Cuengi."
Pat pat.
Sejun patted Cuengi on the butt in praise.
Then,
"Puhuhut."
Kihihit.
"Heehee."
"Hehe."
"Hihi."
The group and the kids subtly stuck out their butts, expecting the sa treatnt.
Pat pat.
Pat pat.
Sejun patted each butt five tis, from Theo to Aaeeng, before they could finally enter the broadcasting station.
Then,
"Alright. Let's go."
"Yes!"
They went down the ergency stairs to the lobby on the first floor.
Since there were 28 of them including the Children of Creation and the Destruction kids, the elevator was way too small.
So Sejun and the group all ca down the stairs and arrived at the lobby.
"We got here way too early."
"Puhuhut. That's right, ow! We're thirty minutes early, ow!"
They waited for the person who would be giving them the station tour.
"Everyone, hold the hand of the person next to you."
"Yes!"
Sejun had the kids hold each other's hands so they wouldn't wander off.
Hehehe. Maybe a celebrity will walk by?
He looked around to see if anyone famous would pass by. Unfortunately, no one he recognized did. Actually, celebrities did walk by, but Sejun didn't know any of them.
He'd been in the Tower for over a year, so he had no idea who had beco famous in that ti.
As Sejun was looking around like a country bumpkin,
"Excuse !"
A woman in her late twenties ran toward Sejun with an expression like she had found her savior.
Hehe. This damned popularity of mine.
Sejun thought he should politely decline and said,
"Sorry, but I'm already promised to soone…"
He spoke firmly so as not to give the woman any ideas, but
"Could I borrow your kids for a bit?!"
She cut him off.
"What?!"
"Ah. You see…."
Thinking Sejun was flustered by her strange wording, the woman hurriedly pulled out a business card and said,
"I'm not a weirdo. I'm Kim Hye-na, the director of the drama 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas'. The kids we originally cast all ca down with food poisoning. Would it be possible for your kids to appear on the show?"
She explained the reason she asked to borrow the children.
Sounds fun.
Sejun was quite tempted, but
"I'm sorry. We're supposed to tour the station in a bit."
He decided to decline.
Then,
"I'll give you the tour after filming! And it won't take long! I'll wrap it up in under an hour! And there's a paynt too!"
Kim Hye-na offered all sorts of conditions to persuade him. That's how desperate she was.
If today's shoot fell through, she didn't know when she'd get another chance to direct.
This opportunity had only co to her because all her seniors rejected the script for being weak.
"Alright. We'll help."
Sejun decided to help Kim Hye-na, who clearly needed the support. And he thought being an extra might be a good experience for the kids.
Also,
Hehehe. Am I finally going to be on TV too?
It'd be a hassle if I got too famous though.
He was a little hopeful for himself too.
"But what role do I get?"
Sejun asked Kim Hye-na, already jumping the gun.
"Pardon? This drama only features kids."
"Ah…"
And just like that, Sejun's hopes for appearing on TV were dashed. Still, it was a good thing, he narrowly avoided creating a cringe mory.
