Part 2 Chapter 130: Next time, Cuengi will start by giving 2 points! / 854
TL: Hanguk
(Pip-pip. Sejun-nim, I am sorry I could not tell you in advance. Your mother told me not to tell you, Sejun-nim...)
"Puhuhut. Paespaes, this is betrayal against the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!"
(Pip-pip! It is not like that...)
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, will report everything even if Chairman Park’s mom tells me not to tell Chairman Park, meow! Am I admirable, meow?!"
"Yeah. Very admirable."
Sejun replied to Theo's words without a shred of sincerity and
"Paespaes, it is okay."
He comforted Paespaes as he petted Paespaes’s head.
Then
"Meow?! Chairman Park, pet me too, meow!"
Theo pushed his forehead into Sejun’s other hand.
Kking!
[Butler! Great Blackie too!]
Blackie also hurriedly pushed his head into Sejun’s hand and then
"Out of the way, meow!"
Kking!
At Theo’s headbutt, he rolled around a few times.
"Why are you fighting? Here. Come here."
Sejun petted each of their heads once and
"But why did Mom send an invitation like this?"
He asked Paespaes, and
(Pip-pip. I honestly do not understand, but she said she wants to comfort those who received names from you, Sejun-nim.)
Paespaes answered with an expression that said it made no sense.
"Meow? They received names from Chairman Park, so why comfort them, meow?! Should they not be giving thanks instead, meow?!"
Kueng! Kueng?
[That is right! Receiving thanks is the correct expression! Did Paespaes hear Grandma wrong?]
(Pip-pip! No! I did not understand either, so I asked again several times!)
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. This is butler’s mom’s trap! It is to trick the guys who do not like the butler’s naming!]
Of course, the companions did not understand either.
But
"Kkyung...could it be that Sejun-nim’s mother truly wants to comfort them?"
Iona cautiously offered an opposing opinion.
"Meow?! Iona, what do you mean, meow?! They received a name from the great Chairman Park...."
As Theo poured out passionate words at Iona,
"No. If it's Mom, she might actually mean it."
Sejun said, nodding his head.
"You can tell just by looking at how she named me. My mom has no naming sense."
Mom probably thinks the names I gave are genuinely terrible. Not that it's true, of course.
"If anything, I'm the real victim here..."
Park Sejun, really?
I should have changed my name to Park Segop... [TL: Sejun's name uses 세(se) meaning "generation/world" + 준(jun) meaning "talented". He jokes it should have been 세곱(segop), a math pun on "cubed" (세제곱), i.e., Park Cubed ]
Sejun was saying something that would have earned him a smack on the back if Kim Mi-ran heard it.
"Guys, since it is what Mom wants to do, for now, let us pretend we do not know."
"Puhuhut. Got it, meow!"
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes."
Kueng!
"Yeah!"
The companions agreed with Sejun.
However
Kking! Kking!
[The great Great Detective Kapang succeeded in his deduction, so there's no way I'm letting this go! I'm going to catch Butler's mom!]
Blackie objected.
"Huh. If you have room for that, why not catch the thief who stole the Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes?"
Kking? Kking?
[Roasted and Dried Sweet Potato? Why would great Blackie's Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes...?]
At Sejun’s words, Blackie checked his snack backpack with a puzzled expression.
Kking! Kking!
[It is gone! Great Blackie’s Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes are gone!]
He soon screamed. The Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes, which he had only licked with his tongue and smeared with saliva whenever he wanted to eat them, were nowhere to be seen.
And
'Vice Chairman Theo, good job.'
When Sejun held out his palm behind his back,
'Puhuhut. I always do good job, meow!'
Pang.
Theo met it with his front paw.
That was right. At Sejun’s words, Theo moved tactfully and stole Blackie’s Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes.
-Tip No. 10.
If a troublemaker wolf is obsessed with something, divert its attention to another place. At this time, using a favorite food or toy is effective.
It was tip he read in [23 Secrets of Beast Tamers to Make Troublemaker Wolves Obedient].
Blackie had his Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes stolen like that.
Sniff. Sniff.
Kking?!
[You thief! Where did you go?!]
He ran around sniffing here and there, saying he would catch the culprit.
Heh heh heh. You will never find it.
Sejun watched Blackie wander around and then
Kking...
[That Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes are what great Blackie worked hard to gather...]
As Blackie was about to become dejected,
"Oh?! Blackie, there is a suspicious hole over there?"
He had Cuengi point to a hole he had made in advance with Telekinesis.
-Tip No. 13.
Don't let the troublemaker wolf get too discouraged. Sometimes they need confidence. Give them just the right opportunity to get their confidence back.
To give Blackie confidence.
Kking?!
[Where?!]
At Sejun’s words, Blackie dashed to the hole, and
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! The great Blackie found the Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes!]
and there, planted according to Sejun's plan, were the Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. It must be that the thief was scared of the great Blackie and dropped it while fleeing in a hurry!]
Blackie reasoned out in his own way why the Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes had been left there, and
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[From now on, it is Great Detective Kapang’s time! Butler! Follow me! I will show you the great Great Detective Kapang catching the culprit!]
Blackie chased the strong scent that remained near the hole and ran outside the Kindergarten of Destruction.
"Yeah. Let us watch our Blackie catch the culprit."
He is really excited.
Sejun followed slowly behind with the companions, wearing a satisfied smile.
Sniff. Sniff.
In that way, Blackie headed toward a crowded main road as he chased the scent, and
Sniff. Sniff.
Kking! Kking!
[There are a lot of scents, but the great Blackie won't lose it! This way!]
Then he went to a small alley, back to the main road, an uphill road, a downhill road, and climbed a steep uphill road, and
Kkek... kkek...
The one who stole the great Blackie's Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes is in here!
Blackie arrived in front of a huge mansion as he caught his breath.
Kking?
[But I think I have been here before?]
As Blackie muttered to himself and tilted his head,
"Of course. This is Kyung-chul’s house."
Ding-dong.
Sejun solved Blackie’s question and pressed the doorbell.
-Who is it?
"Hey. Kyung-chul, it's me."
-Wait a moment.
After a short while.
"Sejun, come on in."
Kyung-chul, who had been contacted in advance, came out, and
This smell! The smell of the thief who stole the great Blackie’s Roasted and Dried Sweet Potato!
Kking! Kking!
[Caught you! You Roasted and Dried Sweet Potato thief!]
Blackie succeeded in arresting the culprit as he bit and clung to Kyung-chul’s pants that had come out to greet them.
Riiip.
Thanks to that, Kyung-chul's pants were left in tatters, and
This is what happens when you steal the great Blackie's Roasted and Dried Sweet Potatoes!
Kihihit. Kking?! Kking?! Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! You saw it, right?! The great Blackie’s culprit-arresting skill?! The great Blackie went easy on him because he is the butler’s friend!]
Blackie puffed himself up with a proud expression.
"Yeah. As expected, our Blackie is generous."
Kking! Kking!
[Of course! The great Blackie is generous!]
Blackie felt proud that he had caught the culprit, not knowing everything was a setup Sejun planned.
Kyung-chul, good work.
Sejun, you are not forgetting the SS-grade item, right?
Do not worry. I already brought it.
Meanwhile, Sejun and Kyung-chul finished their silent conversation through exchanged glances.
And so, with Kyung-chul receiving an SS-rank item in exchange for playing the thief, everyone got their happy ending.
"Sejun, how about FIFA for the first time in a while?"
"Heh heh heh. Sure."
Sejun played a game with Kyung-chul in Kyung-chul’s game room.
"Yes! I won again! Sejun, this time I am ordering pizza, okay? What will we bet on next? Tteokbokki?"
"Ah, damn. I am not doing it...."
The result was Sejun’s 10 consecutive losses.
What good was having great physical ability and athletic reflexes?
"Pass! Pass!"
"Ah, Player Park Sejun, your passing lane is way too obvious! Intercepted!"
"Aaah!"
None of it mattered without game sense.
As Sejun kept losing bets to Kyung-chul and getting money taken from him,
"Haak! Chairman Park, why do you keep losing to Kyung-chul, meow?! Chairman Park, step aside, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will avenge Chairman Park’s defeat, meow!"
"Oh. The next challenger, Mr. Park Theo, welcome."
Theo, who had been watching in frustration, stepped up.
However
"Haak! Haak! You stupid idiots! Why are you going there, meow?! You have to jump and go over the opponent!"
Having absolutely zero knowledge of soccer, Theo suffered the same ten consecutive losses, and
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Let me try."
Next, Iona, who received the baton from Theo, stepped forward.
But
"Kyoo, the buttons won't press! They won't press!"
The game controller was bigger than her own body, making it hard to handle. Iona did her best, pressing the directional pad with her front paws and the four buttons with her hind paws, but she suffered loss after loss.
And then
"Hehehe. Come on, Iona, try harder. I'll only use my right hand."
"Kyoo-Kyoo-Let us do another round!"
When she kept building her rage gauge at Kyung-chul’s provocation and suffered 20 consecutive losses,
"Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Who made the game controller like this?! The buttons won't press! I'll destroy this messed-up world!"
"Iona, calm down!"
"Iona, calm down, meow!"
She ended up trying to destroy Kyung-chul's house and the Earth along with it, and Sejun and Theo barely managed to stop her.
In the meantime
Kkirorong.
Keooo.
Blackie and Taecho, who had been cheering hard, kept getting bored as Sejun, Theo, and Iona kept losing, and they fell asleep.
Like that, blocked by the huge mountain named Kyung-chul, when not even a speck of possibility of victory could be seen for Sejun’s family,
Kueng!
[Cuengi will give it a try!]
Cuengi stepped up without hesitation, determined to avenge his dad, big brother, and sister-in-law.
"Whew. That was close. Is it beginner’s luck? Cuengi, you are lucky."
The first match ended with Kyung-chul narrowly winning 5:4.
But
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi's got the hang of it now!]
4:3, Cuengi victory.
5:1, Cuengi victory.
6:0, Cuengi victory.
...
..
.
From then on, Cuengi kept widening the score gap against Kyung-chul, winning match after match. It was the moment Park Cuengi awakened as a gaming prodigy.
"Hehehe. That's a Chinese restaurant, right?"
Thanks to that, Sejun could fully enjoy the fun of emptying Kyung-chul’s pockets.
A little later.
"Haha. To lose to our Cuengi who tried it for the first time today, Kyung-chul, you will need to practice."
"Puhuhut. That is right, meow! Kyung-chul, practice a bit, meow! Your skill is terrible, meow!"
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. You were using both hands, right?"
"Ah. This is infuriating!"
Sejun, Theo, and Iona teased Kyung-chul as they left his house, and
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Uncle Kyung-chul, next time Cuengi will start by giving 2 points!]
Before leaving, Cuengi wore a smug expression and poured oil on Kyung-chul’s anger.
After Sejun and his companions left,
"Time for special training!"
I will pay you back for today’s humiliation!
Kyung-chul played games by himself with intense focus.
How many hours had passed?
"Kyung-chul, how many hours have you been playing games?!"
From behind, the tired and irritated voice of Choi Mina, who had come home from work, was heard.
"Mi... Mina, the thing is..."
"Be quiet."
Like that, Kyung-chul was banned from games for a month. He was Earth’s strongest hunter, but his wife was too scary at that time.
***
"Hm hm hm."
"Meow meow meow."
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot."
Cuengi! Cuengi!
Kkirorong.
Keooo.
Carrying the sleeping Taecho and Blackie on his back, Sejun and his companions hummed a victory tune on the way home.
Kueng?!
[Dad, but when are we going to see Grandma?!]
Cuengi asked, and
"Ah. Wait a moment. Iona, let us use Spatial Teleportation to where Mom is."
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes. O power of space...."
Sejun asked Iona, and they teleported to where Kim Mi-ran was. Iona had placed Tracking Magic on Sejun's family members, so they could find them anytime.
But
"Aloha!"
"Huh?"
The place where Sejun and the companions appeared through Spatial Teleportation magic was not Europe but Hawaii.
