Chapter 537: I'll Give You a Super Embarrassing Name!
TL: Hanguk
“Mother-in-law, does the food suit your taste?”
“Hohoho. Of course, our son-in-law Park made it, so it’s absolutely delicious.”
“Hehehe. There’s plenty of food, so please eat more.”
While Sejun was busy preparing health food with a silly grin at being called ‘our Park son-in-law’
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park’s mother-in-law, get well soon meow!”
Kueng!
[Mother-in-law Grandma, get well soon!]
“Hohoho. Yes, dears, I’ll recover quickly.”
Theo and Cuengi were treating Elizabeth with massage.Since Elizabeth was both Sejun’s mother-in-law and grandmother to Cuengi, Sejun had hastily created the term ‘grandmother-in-law’.
Thus, while Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi were treating Elizabeth,
Kugung.
A sound suddenly came from Elizabeth’s direction.
To be precise, it was a vibration transmitted from the area between Elizabeth’s body through the earth.
A fart?
Given the circumstances, it seemed certain.
What should I do…?
As Sejun panicked, unsure how to respond to his mother-in-law’s fart,
“Hohoho.”
-Ahem. Sejun, we mighty dragons do not fart.
Noticing Sejun’s expression and realizing what he was thinking, Elizabeth burst into hearty laughter, while Anton cleared his throat and offered an explanation.
“Ah.”
So that’s what it was. Then what was that noise?
While Sejun was still pondering the source of the sound,
“Hohoho. It must be that our little one is eager to meet their brother-in-law.”
When Elizabeth raised her enormous body, a black egg she had been carefully holding was revealed.
This was the reason why Elizabeth, who had been pursuing Adrous, the Demon King of Sloth, had suddenly gone into hiding.
Although Anton and Elizabeth had a good marriage, the chances of dragons conceiving were extremely low. Elizabeth, who had already given birth to Aileen, never imagined that she could be pregnant again. ?
That’s how Elizabeth ended up giving birth while in poor condition.
In her fragile state, she had desperately protected the egg while warding off the approaching Demon King’s forces.
If Paespaes had arrived just a few days later, it could have been truly perilous.
If I’m the brother-in-law… then this is my brother-in-law? (TL: In English, this feels odd because, in Korean, there are specific terms of address for each relationship. However, in English, both are referred to as “brother-in-law,” which makes this part feel awkward.)
“Hello, brother-in-law! Nice to meet you.”
Sejun greeted the black egg. The egg was about knee-height to Sejun, which was extremely small considering the size of adult dragons.
A moment later,
“Yawn. I’m feeling sleepy now. son-in-law Park, why don’t you go and rest for a bit as well?”
Elizabeth yawned and closed her eyes.
“Yes, please rest well. Let’s go, everyone.”
Phew. It was tough, but things worked out well.
Sejun quickly led the group outside.
Elizabeth, who had been rapidly regaining her strength thanks to Sejun’s nourishing meals, had recovered so well that it was starting to make Sejun feel overwhelmed.
Wanting to show his mother-in-law his best side, Sejun had stubbornly stayed by her side despite the exhaustion. Luckily, Elizabeth had given him an excuse to step out.
However,
Our son-in-law Park must be having a hard time.
Elizabeth, noticing Sejun’s struggle, had kindly suggested he take a break.
Indeed, a mother-in-law’s love for her son-in-law knows no bounds.
And so, with Elizabeth’s consideration, Sejun stepped outside.
The area around the cave was now empty.
As Elizabeth’s energy intensified, the nearby residents had relocated to avoid the overwhelming aura.
“Alright, time to plant some green onion seeds.”
Sejun also moved to a place quite far away, where Elizabeth’s energy wouldn’t reach, to plant the Generous Green Onion.
Then taking out the Giving Green Onion seed
Pook.
He dug into the ground and planted the seed.
Thunk.
As soon as the seed was planted, the green onion began to grow rapidly. However, its size was modest, not at all befitting the grandeur of its name, World Tree.
“Huh? Is this fully grown?”
While Sejun examined the normally-sized green onion,
[You have planted the Generous Green Onion in the forgotten world of Omid.][Quest completed.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, Omid will reconnect with other worlds.]
[It will take one day for the connection to fully stabilize.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, all of your stat potentials have increased by 1,000.]
…
..
.
Reward messages appeared as the quest completed.
However,
[A quest has appeared.][Quest: For the Generous Green Onion Seed to grow properly, it must also give generously. Harvest the leaves of the Generous Green Onion and distribute them generously to the residents of Omid.]
Reward: Appointment as Guardian Deity of Omid
Even before Sejun could fully check the reward, a new quest popped up.
“Guardian Deity?”
Although Sejun wasn’t tempted by the reward since he would have to designate a proxy guardian deity anyway and had no use for divine power
Swish.
Still, he cut the green onion leaves for the sake of the Generous Green Onion.
While the quest reward didn’t move Sejun’s heart, the Generous Green Onion’s desire to give moved his heart.
As Sejun cut the leaves of the green onion,
Crunch.
The leaves of the Generous Green Onion grew back immediately.
Swish. Swish.
After Sejun cut them a few more times,
“Oh, it grows bigger the more I cut it.”
The Generous Green Onion had grown slightly larger than before. With each cut, its height increased by 1 cm and its thickness by 1 mm.
“Vice Chairman Theo, can you help me cut these green onion leaves?”
“Puhuhut. Leave it to me, meow!”
Clink.
At Sejun’s request, Theo smugly pulled out his dragon claws with a confident laugh.
“Meow-meow-meow!”
As Theo swiftly began cutting the green onion leaves,
Crunch.
The green onion, refusing to be outdone, grew back even faster and larger.
“Green onions taste best when grilled.”
Whoosh.
Sejun grilled the green onion and said,
“You just peel off the burnt part and eat it like this.”
He gathered the residents of Omid and taught them how to enjoy grilled green onion.
“Wow, it’s sweet!”
“It’s delicious!”
Thanks to Sejun, the residents of Omid feasted on grilled green onions until their bellies were full.
[You have fed 100 people to their heart’s content.][Due to the effect of the <Title: Saint of Feeding>, all stats increase by 10.]
…
..
.
Sejun finished raising the stats he hadn’t been able to max out yesterday.
And then,
“I’m truly happy!”
“Me too! The Demon King’s army is gone, and I’m full. I’m so happy!”
As the residents’ happiness was reached the Generous Green Onion,
Crunch.
Feeling rewarded, the green onion radiated energy and grew even larger.
“Meow-meow-meow!”
Puhuhut. I am a specialist in cutting green onions, meow! I won’t lose, meow!
Fueled by his competitive spirit, Theo began cutting the ever-growing green onion leaves even faster.
Moments later,
[The Generous Green Onion has grown properly.][Please stop cutting it now!]
[The Generous Green Onion’s vitality is decreasing!]
Messages appeared.
“Vice Chairman Theo, stop!”
Sejun hurriedly stopped Theo and
“Meow?! I don’t need to cut it anymore, meow?”
“Yeah.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Theo returned to Sejun’s lap.
[You have completed the quest.][As a quest completion reward, you are appointed as the Guardian Deity of Omid.]
[Your divinity is far too insufficient to serve as the Guardian Deity of Omid.]
I know.
[Please designate a proxy Guardian Deity to become Omid’s Guardian Deity in your place.][The proxy Guardian Deity’s qualifications can be revoked at any time.]
Who should I appoint as the proxy Guardian Deity this time?
Sejun pondered while reading the message.
Since I need to restore the Milk Spring anyway…
“I’ll designate Fonz, the God of the Spring as the proxy Guardian Deity. The distribution will be 99 to 1, with the additional condition that ‘the Milk Spring must never dry up while serving as proxy.’”
[Proposing the proxy Guardian Deity position for Omid to Fonz, the God of the Spring, under the conditions of a 99 to 1 distribution and the condition of managing the milk spring.]The proxy Guardian Deity position was proposed to Fonz and
[Fonz, the God of the Spring, has accepted the proxy Guardian Deity position for Omid.][Fonz, the God of the Spring, has become the proxy Guardian Deity of Omid on behalf of Park Sejun.]
The reply came quickly.
“So is it over? Green onion, grow well and healthy.”
As Sejun patted the towering 50-meter-tall green onion and cheered for its future,
[Sejun-nim, I have a request. Please give me a name.]
The Generous Green Onion, having fully awakened as the World Tree, asked Sejun to give it a name.
“A name? Wait a moment…”
Sejun began the naming process.
Hehe! We’ve got something interesting to watch!
Thump! Thump!
The Blackie Family watched Sejun with sparkling eyes.
And then:
“How about Omipase?” (TL: This time, the name is a combination of three parts: ?? (Omi) from Omid, ? (pa) from green onion, and ? (se) from the world tree.)
Since it’s the World Tree of Omid’s Generous Green Onion, Omipase fits.
[Omipase… I love it!]
Omipase was overjoyed, repeating the name Sejun had given it.
Hehe, this time even I think I came up with a great name.
Sejun was also very satisfied with the name he had given.
As for the Blackie Family, they were split into two groups,
Kihihit!
“Omipase, really…?”
Kkiruk!
Shasharyang!
“Pff. That’s too much~”
Ppiyak!
One group mocked the name Omipase,
Caw…
Mumu…
while the other refrained from laughing outright.
Thus, the Generous Green Onion came to have its name, Omipase.
To commemorate this day, Omipase decided that every year, it would allow the residents of Omid to harvest its green onion leaves.
And the residents of Omid started hosting a yearly festival where they cooked the green onion in various ways.
***
Battler’s House
“Alright! Now it’s perfect!”
Snap.
Battler closed the book titled [7 Ultimate Techniques to Get Chosen by a Cat as Its Owner] after fully memorizing its contents.
And,
“First, I’ll have to make grilled fish that Theo likes. Followers! Bring me the best fish you can find!”
He began his search for the finest fish to prepare the grilled dish.
A little while later,
“Alright, this one should do.”
From the massive pile of fish in front of him, Battler selected a tuna over 10 meters long.
[Vigorous Giant Tuna, Ruler of Buadaha Lake.]Whoosh.
Battler placed the tuna on the fire and began grilling it.
A short while later, as the grilled fish became perfectly golden brown,
“Kekeke. The book said sprinkling this will make it irresistible to cats, right?”
He sprinkled catnip powder on the surface of the grilled fish.
It was a gift from Hunt, as Butler might really come to kill him if he failed again this time.
“Here, I just picked this up on the way. Eat it and choose me as your owner.”
Battler sent the grilled fish, coated with catnip powder, to Theo.
But,
[Theo Park, the Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower, says he won’t eat grilled fish that doesn’t taste good].
Theo instantly rejected Battler’s grilled fish.
“Hunt, you bastard! You said this was a 100% sure thing!”
Bang!
An enraged Battler stormed off toward Hunt’s house.
***
Omid
“Chairman Park, are you going to eat this, meow?!”
Theo pulled a massive 10-meter-long grilled tuna out of his bag and handed it to Sejun. Naturally, it was the grilled fish Battler had made.
[Grilled Vigorous Giant Tuna That Cats Love]? A dish made by grilling the Vigorous Giant Tuna, Ruler of Buadaha Lake.
? Sprinkled with catnip powder at the end, it’s especially appealing to cats.
? Effects: Unlocks water-attribute talents and increases all stats by 30 upon consumption.
? Requirements: Magic Power 1000 or higher.
? Expiration Date: 10 days.
? Grade: A
“It’s way too big.”
And the stat increase was negligible compared to the size of the meal.
“Cuengi, you can have it.”
After brushing off the catnip powder, Sejun handed the grilled tuna to Cuengi.
Boom.
Cuengi, who had grown larger to match the tuna’s size, devoured the grilled fish in an instant and shrank back to normal size.
Then,
Kueng!
[Cuengi has gained the talent to run on water!]
Cuengi had unlocked the <Talent: Water-Walking>.
“Oh, really?! Show me!”
Kueng!
After watching Cuengi’s newly acquired talent for some time, Sejun returned to the cave where Elizabeth was.
“Huh?!”
-Oh! Sejun, perfect timing!
In the cave, only the lonely black egg and Anton remained, who had been anxiously watching it. Anton, looking worried as he stared at the egg, greeted Sejun with relief.
Elizabeth was nowhere to be seen.
“Where’s Mother-in-law?”
-She’s returned to the Black Tower.
“What?”
-Since Omid suddenly reconnected with the other worlds…
As Omid reconnected with the world, the Black Tower system detected Elizabeth, who hadn’t returned to the tower in a long time, and forcibly brought her back.
Sejun, who had connected Omid to the world, quietly kept his mouth shut and
“Alright, everyone, let’s massage the egg.”
In Elizabeth’s absence, he took over caring for the egg.
Pat, pat.
Press, press.
Rub, rub.
Lick, lick.
“Blackie, it’s not food.”
Kking…
And so, while Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi were tending to the egg,
Crack.
A crack began to form on the egg.
It had started to hatch.
“Everyone, get down!”
Sejun urgently shouted to his companions and hit the ground.
He suddenly recalled the fact that newly hatched creatures often imprint on the first being they see, treating them as their parent.
However, dragons were beings on an entirely different level compared to such animals.
“Puhihihi. Brother-in-law, you idiot.”
The baby black dragon, with only its head and legs out of the egg, looked down at Sejun and sneered.
How dare you laugh at your brother-in-law?!
As Sejun became indignant at being ridiculed by his newly born brother-in-law,
-Oh. Since our baby’s first sight is of you, Sejun, you should give the baby its name. That’s our tradition.
Anton granted Sejun the honor of naming the black dragon.
“Hehehe. Sure.”
I’ll give you a super embarrassing name!
As Sejun smiled sinisterly while preparing his revenge
Hieek! Brother-in-law, you’re scary!
Hic! Hic!
Startled by Sejun’s sinister expression, the baby black dragon began to hiccup and,
104.28.193.250
“Meow?! Chairman Park, your face looks ugly, meow! Control your expression, meow!”
Theo quickly started kneading Sejun’s face with his front paws.
