Part 2 Chapter 89: The Chaotic Housewarming Party (1) / 813

“Sigh. Another doorbell ditch.”
Sejun let out a sigh and picked up the basket.
Kkyaam!
A baby beamed a bright smile at Sejun.
“Yeah. Nice to see you, too.”
Thanks to that, Sejun’s expression softened.
Sejun lifted the baby and held him in his arms, then checked the note stuck in the basket.
-Sejun, this time please name the baby Cervantes...
Yeah. Not happening.
“I’ll name him however I want.”
Ignoring the Creator God's note,
“Hm. Let’s see.”
Sejun pondered over a name for the baby.
After thinking for about three seconds,
“Kyako?”
It sounds nice.
He decided on the baby's name.
“How about Kyako for your name?”
When Sejun asked the baby while looking at him,
Kkyaaaam!
The baby laughed loudly as if he liked the name.
“Alright. Your name is Kyako now.”
Thus, the 27th Child of Destruction, named Kyako by Sejun, was enrolled as a new student in the Kindergarten of Destruction.
The total number of Children of Destruction: 28.
Hehehe. Now I just need to find the last one.
Once he gets one more, the Kindergarten of Destruction will be at full capacity.
“Kids, say hi. This is Kyako.”
When Sejun entered the Kindergarten of Destruction holding Kyako and introduced him to the kids,
“Kyako, hi! I’m Taecho unnie!”
Taecho came running and greeted him.
“Taecho, Kyako is a boy.”
“Can’t Kyako just be a girl? Taecho wants a little sister...”
“I’ll bring a little sister next time.”
“Okay! Kyako, call me Taecho noona!”
Once Taecho’s greeting was over,
“Kyako, hi! I’m Gomgom hyung!”
“Kkakyo, hi! I’m Chacha unnie!”
The other Children of Destruction greeted him too.
Once the kids’ greetings ended,
“Hmm hm hmmm.”
Sejun hummed a tune and started preparing breakfast.
“Meow meow meow. Chairman Park and Vice Chairman Theo are best friends, meow! Friends, meow!”
Theo also sang cheerfully to Sejun’s humming. Of course, their songs were as perfectly out of tune as always.
The kitchen was stacked with hundreds of times more ingredients than usual, enough for about 50,000 servings? These were for Kyung-chul’s housewarming party tomorrow.
Sejun, taking after his mother Kim Mi-ran, always went big. On top of that, after cooking for millions of servings several times, he firmly believed meals should always be prepared in abundance.
Better to have too much than too little. If there are leftovers, there’s Cuengi, and Uren...
“Ah. What an unlucky thought!”
Uren is a no-go. If Uren shows up, Kyung-chul’s housewarming is doomed.
Sejun quickly stopped that train of thought and focused on cooking.
“Vice Chairman Theo, chop up the slime meat and vegetables.”
“Puhuhut. Leave it to me, Vice Chairman Theo, Chairman Park’s best friend, meow!”
While Theo was prepping the meat and vegetables, Sejun made the marinade.
Shortly after.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m done, meow! There’s no better friend than me, Vice Chairman Theo, right, meow?!”
After finishing the prep, Theo sparkled his eyes and asked eagerly.
“Yeah. Vice Chairman Theo, you’re the best.”
“Puhuhut. I know, meow!”
Sejun expanded the size of the [Black Pot] made from the mighty Black Dragon's Scale, and after putting in the meat, vegetables, and marinade Theo had prepared,
“Cuengi, stir-fry this.”
Kueng!
He asked Cuengi.
Shooang!
Gigantified Cuengi worked the wok with enthusiasm, evenly cooking the ingredients to make Spicy Stir-fried Slime.
In the meantime, Sejun boiled the soaked seaweed, simmered locust meat, and blanched fire moth meat.
There would be five dishes to bring tomorrow:
Locust Salad, Slime Blood Leech Soup, Fire Moth Sashimi Soup, Steamed Petrified Spider, and Spicy Stir-fried Slime.
People attending Kyung-chul’s housewarming would probably be shocked after eating these dishes. Not just because of the taste, but because Sejun’s <Title: One Who Cooks Calamities> imbues his food with special effects.
Sejun had already informed Kyung-chul in advance about the dishes he would bring so their menus wouldn’t overlap.
By the way, the Children of Destruction would be left in the care of dragon leaders for a while.
The dragon leaders had spent time with the Children of Creation and had significantly improved their babysitting skills, and since they planned to send the Children of Destruction with their comfort blankets and plenty of snacks, there shouldn’t be any major problems for just one day.
Thus, Sejun spent the entire day thoroughly preparing for the housewarming party.
When night fell,
“Blackie, let’s go.”
Kkihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Okay!]
He closed his eyes to help Blackie Family and Taecho with their atonement.
***
Blackie’s mental world.
“Everyone, I’m sorry.”
“Sorry.”
“Taecho is sorry.”
While the Blackie Family and Taecho were apologizing to the souls,
“Everyone, would you like to eat this and maybe feel a bit better?”
“Puhuhut. Try the grilled fish and Churu made by my friend, great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
Sejun and his group also handed out food to the souls to soothe them.
And then,
“Please have some of this too!”
Today, the new member Super Mini Chairman Park No. 7 was also present. Super Mini Chairman Park No. 7 wore a pumpkin mask and handed out white and yellow candies.
– Giving us this kind of crap?
– Unforgivable!
Some souls reacted very negatively after eating the candy.
What is it?
What flavor is that candy?
“Chairman Park No. 7, can I try one too?”
“Yes! Please have lots!”
Super Mini Chairman Park No. 7 handed over so many candies they couldn’t all fit in Sejun’s hand. Just like Sejun, he had a heavy hand.
A moment later.
“Ugh! Ptoo!”
Sejun grimaced and spat out the yellow candy. It tasted like Churu.
[Talent: Bizarre Taste has been activated.]
[You have a strong stomach!]
[All stats have increased by 3.]
Thanks to that, he learned that Bizarre Taste could be triggered even in the mental world.
I wonder if this one’s weird too?
Sejun put the white candy in his mouth.
“Huh?”
It tasted like grilled fish?
“Well, this one’s edible at least.”
The grilled fish flavor was better than expected.
“Chairman Park No. 7, let’s only hand out the white candies. The yellow ones aren’t popular.”
“Okay...”
Super Mini Chairman Park No. 7’s voice turned sad at Sejun’s words, but there was no helping it.
They couldn’t let the calmed souls get upset again because of Churu-flavored candy.
And so, Sejun and his group spent the night assisting with the Blackie Family and Taecho’s apology, and were able to fully purify one of the <World's Energies>.
***
Sea of Dimensions.
[Podori, you still haven't found it?!]
[Flamie-nim, please wait just a bit more. I’m really trying hard to find it.]
Under Flamie’s nagging, Podori answered while diligently moving his roots. But if one looked closely, he was only pretending to search and not actually doing it.
Even though Flamie was watching,
Pohihihi. Even Flamie-nim, how would she know if I'm doing it properly?
Even if it was a world containing remnants of Destruction, as long as he pretended not to know, Flamie had no way of finding out.
Podori, growing bold, was scheming.
However,
Podori, so that’s how you want to play it?
Flamie already knew Podori was deceiving her. Her roots were secretly trailing behind Podori’s, checking whether his words were true.
Flamie was observing how far Podori would go in lying to her.
At that moment,
[...Ah. Not here either.]
Podori sneakily said this while withdrawing from a world with remnants of Destruction.
He lied again.
Flamie extended her root and confirmed that Podori had lied.
That’s the third time now.
Flamie was keeping count of how many times Podori had lied to her.
Normally, Podori would’ve felt a chill and realized he was caught, but...
Fwoosh.
Fwoosh.
The flames of the angry Flamie were slowly raising the temperature of the Sea of Dimensions, so Podori didn’t notice the chill.
Ah. It’s warm and nice.
Podori was simply happy that the sea was warm.
He had absolutely no idea that the fire warming the sea would soon burn him.
And then,
[Ah. Not here eith-]
[Podori, there won’t be a fourth time!]
Kugugung.
Eventually, Flamie’s punishment toward Podori, who had crossed the line, began.
Some time later.
[Podori, are you ready?]
[Yep! Just give the command!]
Podori, whose roots were scorched and tattered, shouted with all his strength.
[Good. Then let’s begin simultaneous strikes on the four worlds with remnants of Destruction.]
[Huh?]
[You don’t want to? I thought you had gathered them all to handle at once on purpose, but I guess not?]
Flamie asked in a cold voice.
[Ah… no! Flamie-nim, you’re absolutely right! Eheh. I gathered them on purpose to handle all at once!]
Podori agreed with Flamie’s words, knowing full well that if he denied it now, he’d get beaten even worse than before.
[Then, let’s begin!]
I’m dead...
Podori began injecting massive roots into four worlds, starting the battle against the remnants of Destruction.
[If it gets too hard, just say so. I’ll let you rest completely.]
[Aaagh! No, it’s okay! I can do this!]
Podori pushed himself to the limit, even drawing upon his germination power, to fight off the remnants and save each world one by one.
At that moment.
Drrrk.
The foundation stone of the world shifted slightly, creating a minuscule crack.
This was the result of Flamie’s root accidentally grazing the world’s foundation stone while punishing Podori.

99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Kids, the teacher will be back in the evening, so until then, listen well to the dragon grandpas and the older brothers and sisters, okay?”
“Yes!”
As Sejun was giving final instructions to the Children of Destruction,
“Puhuhut. Dragon-nims, now I, Vice Chairman Theo, am friends with great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo proudly announced to the Dragons that he and Sejun were friends.
“Here are snacks and blankets for the kids. Thank you for looking after them, leaders.”
– Kuhahaha. Sejun, don’t worry.
– Duhahaha. That’s right. Leave it to us!
– Uhahaha. Of course. Of course. Just trust us and go enjoy yourself.
Sejun left the kids in the care of the leaders, descended the Tower, and,
[Moving to Earth.]
[We hope you have an enjoyable time.]
Returned to Earth.
“Aileen, let’s go.”
“Okay!”
Sejun flew with Aileen, who had been waiting in front of the Tower, toward the area near Kyung-chul’s house.
“You guys stay hidden.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
He concealed his companions. After all, if the group showed themselves at the housewarming, it might be rude to the other guests.
“Heehee. Dad, Taecho wants to hide too!”
“Okay, Iona.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes. Power of magic…”
Once even Taecho was hidden, only Sejun and Aileen remained.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay!”
Sejun and Aileen walked together toward Kyung-chul’s house in harmony. They didn’t take the car, since Aileen felt stuffy riding it.
Vroooom.
Luxury foreign cars zoomed past Sejun and Aileen. An endless stream of them.
Are they all headed to Kyung-chul’s place?
“Aileen, walk on the inside. If you stay on the outside, a car might hit you.”
Sejun wanted to show a mannered side to Aileen, but
“Hm? Then shouldn’t I be on the outside? I’m sturdier than you.”
“Uh... yeah, that’s true.”
Aileen’s factual strike left Sejun without any room to argue.
After walking for a few more minutes, the two arrived in front of a grand mansion.
"Sejun-nim, welcome. Kyung-chul-nim is waiting for you."
The bodyguard who had been waiting for Sejun at Kyung-chul’s instruction greeted him politely.
And once they were led inside by the bodyguard,
"Sejun! You came!"
Kyung-chul, who had been greeting other guests, came over to welcome him.
“Yeah. Thanks for inviting me, Kyung-chul.”
“Sejun, I’m really glad you came.”
Hug.
Kyung-chul warmly embraced Sejun as he responded.
“......”
After that, no words followed.
“...Kyung-chul?”
“......”
“Sejun, Kyung-chul just passed out.”
Kyung-chul had fainted, unable to withstand Sejun’s energy.
