Inside Blackie’s mental world.
“Everyone, I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Taecho is sorry. Taecho hopes you will forgive her.”
Blackie and Taecho sincerely apologized to the souls.
Meanwhile
"This is really delicious. Won't you eat some and calm down a bit?"
“Puhuhut. Try this grilled fish, meow! It’s so delicious, baked by the great hybrid Chairman Park, that people could die eating it and not notice, meow! Meow? I’m not teasing the already dead souls, meow! I’m sorry, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. This stir-fried peanut is really tasty. Just try one bite.”
“If you dip this rice cake into this kudzu honey, all your worries and concerns will disappear! Just try it once!”
(Pip-pip. Don’t fill your heart with hatred or resentment~ I’m not asking you to forgive me. I just hope you won’t get hurt~)
Sejun and his companions did their best to calm the angry souls.
“I’ll help you have a good dream.”
Gilsun Nightmare, the Demon King of Good Dreams, also worked hard to soothe the souls.
However
“I don’t wanna...”
Giant Chairman Park No. 5 grumbled, clearly showing his unwillingness.
“Giant Chairman Park No. 5, since you’re doing it anyway, can’t you do it cheerfully? The souls can’t come near you because your expression is so bad.”
Sejun spoke, trying to coax Giant Chairman Park No. 5.
Originally, Giant Chairman Park No. 5’s role was to be a slide. When souls sat on his knees, they could slide down his shins and enjoy a thrilling extreme sport.
However
"Fine. Fine. I'll do it cheerfully."
Giant Chairman Park No. 5 answered with full sarcasm
“Haak! Haak! Haak! How dare you mock great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo- what kind of tone is that to Sejun-nim?!”
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi is angry! Cuengi will scold you!]
(Pip-pip! I'm angry too!)
“Tae--cho--is--angry--!!!”
“Grrr! How dare you mess with great Blackie’s butler?!”
That provoked the companions' wrath.
“Attack, meow!”
At Theo’s shout, the party companions at Giant Chairman Park No. 5
Whack!
“Mini mini Meteor.”
Kueng!
(Pip-stone! Pip-stone!)
Boom!
"Taecho's special attack- bite! Chomp!”
“Aaagh! It hurts!”
and started beating him.
"How dare you disrespect kind Sejun-nim, I can't forgive you!"
“Let’s join in too!”
“Waaah!”
Even the souls who had taken a liking to Sejun joined in ganging up on Giant Chairman Park No. 5.
Thus, Sejun’s companion and the souls united as one team and gave Giant Chairman Park No. 5 a thorough beating.
“I’m sorry! I’ll never mock Sejun-nim again! I’ll work hard too!”
Giant Chairman Park No. 5 knelt down, crying and desperately rubbing his palms together.
And then
"I shouldn't cry like that."
Sejun resolved not to cry in such an ugly way, using Giant Chairman Park No. 5 as a cautionary example.
A little while later.
“We forgive you.”
“It’s okay.”
The souls, who had just been united in ganging up on Giant Chairman Park No. 5, all let go of their anger and forgave the Blackie Family and Taecho.
It seemed their anger was released either because they came together in unity, or because they got to hit Giant Chairman Park No. 5.
Maybe it was both.
“Hehehe.”
Sejun let out a sly laugh as he watched Giant Chairman Park No. 5 giving the souls slide rides with a swollen face.
Puhuhut. There was an easy way all along, meow!
Theo’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Giant Chairman Park No. 5 too.
Danger.
Giant Chairman Park No. 5 sensed a crisis and resolved not to do anything that could give them a reason to pick on him for a while.
But why is nitpicking called nitpicking? If something is disliked, that becomes nitpicking. And unfortunately, Giant Chairman Park No. 5 had something he could never hide that could be criticized.
That was having Sejun’s face.
“Puhuhut! I don’t like the rotten face of Giant Chairman Park No. 5, meow!”
In this case, he just had to get beaten up. Thus, Giant Chairman Park No. 5 unknowingly took on the role of getting beaten up whenever things went wrong.
And
Why do I hurt too when Giant Chairman Park No. 5 is the one getting beaten?
Sejun reportedly suffered psychological damage every time Giant Chairman Park No. 5 got beaten up.

The next morning.
While eating breakfast in the bustling kitchen
“Teecher-nim, please hurry and do ‘The Sun and the Moon’ performance!”
"That's right! Shoongshoong wants to see it quickly!"
“Hurry! Hurry!”
The children, somehow having learned top secret information, began pestering for 'The Sun and the Moon' performance.
Who could it be?
Who had a loose tongue?
Sejun looked around to find the culprit.
While his gaze was moving about
Poke.
As soon as Sejun’s eyes met his, Blackie quickly lowered his head as if he had committed a crime.
‘Blackie, it’s you.’
Well, that big mouth couldn’t keep quiet anywhere.
It was clear he wanted to brag about how he howled during 'The Sun and the Moon' performance, so he had told the children. (TL: It seems they were practicing to give the performance in front of the children)
Sejun quietly approached Blackie and asked,
“Park Blackie, was it you?”
Kking...
[Butler... that is... I’m sorry...]
Blackie, knowing he had done wrong, apologized in a subdued voice.
Blackie used to be quite the hotshot back in the day...
Sejun was about to scold him, but when he saw Blackie all deflated, he softened.
“It’s fine. What are you sorry about? It’s not a big deal. Don’t get discouraged over things like this from now on, okay?”
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Got it! Great Blackie won’t get discouraged again!]
So instead of scolding him, Sejun encouraged him.
Just then
“Teecher-nim, hurry and show us the performance!”
“Dad, Taecho is really curious too!”
The children and Taecho once again begged to see the performance.
“Kids, just wait a little bit. I need a bit of time to prepare.”
While Sejun was calming the excited children
Hehe. Butler fell for great Blackie’s perfect acting.
Blackie looked at Sejun with a sly smile.
And so, right after breakfast, ‘The Sun and the Moon’ performance began.
And when the part came where the tiger eats the dad
“Roar, meow! Since there’s no Churu, I’ll have to eat you, meow!”
“The tiger ate the dad.”
Swish.
On the perfect stage created by Iona using white paper and Light magic, the scene of the giant tiger pouncing on Haenim and Dalnim’s dad was flawlessly enacted.
“What do we do?!”
“Dad died!”
“I’m scared! What if the tiger comes here?!”
“Don’t worry! Teecher-nim will protect us!”
Frightened, the children huddled close to Cuengi and Aileen, who hadn’t participated in the performance.
The play continued on like that
Kkiuuu~ Kkiuuu~
Passing going Blackie’s howling part, it reached the scene that was cut off yesterday due to the quest, Haenim spotting the tiger outside the door.
[Dalnim, that’s not dad, it’s a tiger! We have to run away!]
(Pip-pip! Okay! Noona! But where do we run to?)
[Let’s sneak out through the window.]
(Pip-pip. Okay!)
“Haenim and Dalnim quickly escaped through the back window of the house while the tiger wasn’t looking, and hid themselves on top of the tree next to the well.”
“Kyoot.”
With Sejun’s narration, Iona took out a tree and a well from the void storage and placed them on stage
[Yap!]
(Pip-pip!)
Flamie and Paespaes jumped lightly and landed on top of the tree.
“Waaah!”
“Haenim and Dalnim hid from the tiger!”
“They’re safe from the tiger now!”
Watching Flamie and Paespaes hide, the children, who had been holding their breath and cheering for Haenim and Dalnim, burst into cheers.
“A moment later, the tiger sensed something was off and quickly opened the door, but there was no one inside.”
“Roar, meow! Where did those little brats go, meow?!”
Theo acted out searching the area.
“The tiger, growling in anger, wandered around the area, but he couldn’t find the siblings who had climbed the tree.”
Sejun explained the situation.
“Roar, meow! I can’t find them, meow! I’m thirsty, so I’ll drink some water first, meow!”
“After roaming around for a while, the tiger became thirsty and looked down into the well, where he saw the reflection of the siblings.”
“Roar, meow! Found you, meow! How did you two get up there, meow?!”
“The tiger asked the siblings.”
[Hehe. If you rub the grape seed oil from the kitchen on your feet, you can climb up easily.]
“Roar, meow! So that’s the trick, meow?!”
“Upon hearing Haenim’s words, the tiger hurried to the kitchen and rubbed grape seed oil on his feet.”
Sliiiide.
“Roar, meow! Why do I keep slipping, meow?!”
“The tiger couldn’t climb the tree and kept slipping. And while they laughed at the tiger’s silly state, Dalnim made a big mistake.”
[Hehe.]
(Pahehe. Stupid tiger. If you use that axe over there, you can easily climb up the tree. Ah!)
“Roar, meow! How dare you mock the great tiger Theo?! Just wait a moment, meow! I’ll eat you both slowly and painfully, meow!”
“Infuriated by Dalnim’s words, the tiger grabbed the axe and began climbing up the tree.”
“Roar, meow! Just a bit more and I can fill my belly, meow!”
Theo displayed an incredible method performance.
Is he actually hungry?
Sejun even momentarily wondered if Theo was genuinely starving.
As Theo climbed the tree
[Please God! If you want to save us, please send down a new rope, and if not, send down a rotten one!]
Flamie prayed with a truly desperate expression.
At that moment
Crackle crackle.
The sky actually opened, and a rope came down.
“Huh?”
What?
Did Iona do it?
Sejun looked at Iona, who was in charge of the stage, but
Shake shake.
Iona shook her head. It wasn’t her doing.
Then what is it?
As Sejun looked back up at the sky
Flaash.
A god emitting radiant light appeared
“Tree of Creation... Aack!”
He tried to say something but was entangled by a massive root and vanished.
What?
Sejun was dumbfounded.
[Phew.]
That was close.
Flamie let out a breath of relief.
What was I going to do if he really sent down a rope?!
A god from another dimension had responded to Flamie’s heartfelt performance and sent down a real rope.
The incident ended there.
“Kyoot.”
Iona then lowered the rope she had prepared with magic, and Flamie and Paespaes climbed up it.
And then
“Roar, meow! God! Send down a rope for me too, meow!”
Having reached the top of the tree, Theo also prayed for a rope.
“A rope came down again.”
“Roar, meow! Just you wait, meow!”
Theo began climbing the rope with all his might.
But
“Huh?”
Why isn’t it breaking?
The rope that wouldn't break. Theo's luck didn't allow him to have a rotten rope.
The performance started becoming chaotic.
"Vice Chairman Theo, end it."
Sejun, having no choice, made a slicing gesture across his neck as a signal to Theo.
"Roar, meow?! The rope broke, meow! This can't be, meow!"
Theo let go of the rope himself and fell to the ground.
Bang!
The sound was loud, but Theo was a cat with the racial trait of being a genius at landing. He wasn't hurt at all.
“And so, the bad tiger was punished, and Haenim, who went to heaven, became the sun, while Dalnim became the moon.”
When the performance ended
[Teacher Park Sejun of the Kindergarten of Destruction has given a great lesson to 15 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction].]
[As a reward for giving a great lesson, your lifespan has increased by 150 hours.]
[As a reward for giving a great lesson, you have acquired 30 billion Tower Coins.]
[As a reward for giving a great lesson, <Earth>'s evolution experience has increased by 1.5%.]
Messages appeared in front of Sejun.
As expected of traditional folktales, full of the wisdom of the ancestors.
Sejun felt proud while looking at the messages.
“No! That one’s the rotten rope!”
“Really? Then this one must be the new rope? Everyone, gather over here!”
The children began playing some strange game.
Kids?
Contrary to his intention, Sejun had taught the children the lesson that they should line up properly.
