Part 2 Chapter 154: Please Allow Our Marriage! / 878
TL: Hanguk
"One."
"The Main Body is...!"
"Louder! Two!"
"Greaaat!!!"
The clones did push-ups while taking military-style punishment from Sejun. Since they had realized they could be replaced at any time, there was no resistance.
Besides, resisting wouldn't get them anywhere. If they were lucky, they'd just be replaced; if unlucky, they'd have to endure Blackie's mental training on top of it.
But there was something even worse. That was if Cuengi stepped in. If Cuengi struck them with his Power of Apocalypse, it meant annihilation.
And above all, they didn't want to lose their titles as God of ~ Sejun. Being called Chairman Park No. So-and-So had a different feel, no style to it, and there was a huge difference in the freedom they got to enjoy.
A god isn't called a god for nothing.
Because a god represented the field they presided over, they could raise their voice on matters related to it, and could also reap various benefits while being revered for the domain they oversaw.
In any case, the perks of being a god were so plentiful that the clones didn't want to go back to the past, and...
"Heheh. So this Park Sejun World is mine now, right?"
""...Yes.""
"Your voices sound reluctant. Don't want to give it up?"
"No, sir!"
They couldn't refuse Sejun's words.
"Puhuhut. Great Colorless Dragon Hybrid Chairman Park, congrats on getting a new world, meow!"
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun-nim, congratulations!"
Kueng!
Kking!
"Daddy, congrats!"
The group offered Sejun their congratulations.
"Heheh. Thanks, everyone. Eok-Samchiri, you heard them, right? Make sure the Ownership Transfer goes through properly."
[Yes! Sejun-nim, just trust me! I'll definitely transfer it for you!]
[System Eok-Samchiri] boasted confidently in a loud voice.
But...
What do I do!!!
Inside its head, it was filled with worry. To make up for all the trouble it had caused recently, score points with Sejun, and avoid impeachment, "no" was an answer it simply couldn't give.
If it did, there was a very high chance that the rapidly rising [System SJC] would snatch its position.
I have to be a competent yes-Eok-Samchiri!
So lately, [System Eok-Samchiri] had been answering "yes" unconditionally, whenever possible, to anything Sejun said. No matter what Sejun asked, it would make it happen, just to show off its capability.
It's hard for Sejun-nim to own a Transcendent World, though...
Of course, it was possible right now. He was using <Unique Power: Temporary Creator God>.
But the moment he stopped activating that power, he wouldn't be able to handle the Transcendent World's overwhelming force, and Sejun would be in danger.
And then I'd be impeached on the spot...
Just then,
[SJC, you've been studying hard, right?]
"Of course! I'm studying hard so I can be of help to Sejun-nim!"
[Hehe. That's a good attitude.]
"Hehe. I got praised by Flamie-nim."
It saw [System SJC] chatting with Flamie.
I'm jealous. Getting praised by Flamie-nim like that.
[System Eok-Samchiri] watched [System SJC] with envy.
What if Flamie-nim co-owns the Transcendent World with Sejun-nim?!
A good idea suddenly struck it.
The split would be 9 to 1, not perfect ownership, but Flamie would never betray Sejun, so it should be fine. For reference, Sejun was the 1.
"Flamie-nim!"
So [System Eok-Samchiri] hurriedly called out to Flamie and asked for help.
[Of course I should. It's for Sejun-nim, after all. Eok-Samchiri, I like the way you've been working lately. Keep doing exactly this from now on.]
"Thank you!"
Heheh. I got praised too.
It was the first time [System Eok-Samchiri] had been praised by Flamie.
[But the clones of Sejun-nim dared to ostracize our Sejun-nim?! I'll have to go and give them a good scolding.]
Flamie was furious.
Crackle. Crackle.
Several of Flamie's massive roots began to extend toward <Park Sejun World>.
And so, to discipline once again the clones whose discipline Sejun had already tightened, Flamie set out, while...
"Heheh. Alright everyone, let's go."
Time to prepare for my wedding now.
Sejun returned to <Rozul>.
"Meow? Chairman Park, you're busy preparing for the wedding, so why are you heading to Rozul, meow?"
Theo asked with a puzzled look.
He had to hurry and prepare for the wedding, so why was he going to <Rozul>?
"Heheh. There are a few reasons."
For one, Aileen was there. He had not the slightest doubt that Aileen would marry him, but he wanted to propose properly.
"Meow?! There are several, meow?! As expected, Chairman Park really is a genius, meow!"
"Hoohoo."
As Theo's praise began, Sejun forcibly pulled down his cheeks, which were threatening to rise with smugness. If he got too cocky, he'd have his face stomped on again.
***
[You have arrived at the level 10 World <Rozul>.]
Sejun arrived at Rozul.
"Aileen!"
He hurriedly called out to Aileen, who was conversing with the other Great Dragons.
And...
Thud.
In front of the watching gods and Great Dragons, he knelt down before Aileen.
"Aileen, marry me one month from now!"
He said this as he pulled out the ring he had been preparing for the proposal.
But...
"No!"
Contrary to Sejun's expectations, Aileen flatly rejected his proposal.
...?!
'Aileen, you literally just said a moment ago, after catching the bouquet, that you wanted to marry me, didn't you?'
Did her heart change in that short time?
At Aileen's shocking reply, hundreds of thoughts raced through Sejun's head.
"......."
While the shocked Sejun couldn't say anything,
"Too late."
Aileen opened her mouth again.
"What?"
"It's too late! I want to marry you tomorrow, Sejun! Sejun, do you want to marry me later instead?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Sejun hurriedly shook his head and answered, then...
"Aileen, I want to marry you right now too. But I need time to prepare for the wedding. I want to make Aileen's wedding ceremony more amazing than anyone else's. Aileen, can't you understand my feelings?"
He spoke to Aileen with as much sincerity as he could muster.
"Okay... hehe... if Sejun puts it that way, then the great and hehe... magnanimous Black Dragon Aileen Pritani-nim will have to understand."
Pleased by Sejun's heartfelt words, Aileen tried to answer as solemnly as possible, but laughter kept bursting through here and there.
Once Aileen had accepted his proposal,
"Kaiser-nim. Mother-in-law. Father-in-law. Please allow me and Aileen to marry!"
Sejun, holding Aileen's hand, went over to Kaiser, Anton, and Elizabeth to ask for their permission.
"Strongly in favor! I, the Great Black Dragon Bongryong Ace Pritani, am absolutely in favor of brother-in-law joining our family!"
Ace, who was sitting on Elizabeth's lap, shouted excitedly, and...
"Kuhahaha. Of course! If not our Sejun, then who in the world could take our granddaughter?! How dare... ugh. No. Why are my eyes watering...."
Kaiser laughed heartily and then shed tears. He seemed both happy and wistful that his beloved granddaughter was getting married.
"Of course I give my permission. The two of you have to be happy."
"Thank you, Father-in-law."
"This wedding is news I've been eagerly awaiting too. I gladly give my permission."
"Mother-in-law, thank you."
Anton and Elizabeth also readily granted permission for the marriage.
With everyone's blessing secured,
"Everyone! I'm holding my wedding ceremony one month from now~!"
Sejun shouted at the top of his lungs.
And then...
Clap. Clap. Clap.
"God-Sejun, congratulations!"
"God-Sejun!"
"Hahaha. As expected, that's the spirit befitting Park-halla!"
"Oohahaha. Our Sejun is finally getting married!"
"What a shame. If I'd had just 1,000... no, 500 more years, I would've married him to my granddaughter who's yet to be born... Drhahaha. Sejun, congratulations!"
The gods and Great Dragons clapped and offered their congratulations.
"Great Colorless Dragon Park Sejun, you'll obviously invite us to the wedding, right?!"
Right on cue, Sejun's friends, the Great Black Dragons Rudion Pritani and Elbas Pritani, asked, and...
"Heheh. Of course. Here's the wedding invitation. Everyone, hand out the invitations!"
Sejun and his group began to distribute the wedding invitations they had prepared in advance. This was one of the reasons Sejun had hurried to <Rozul>.
To hand out wedding invitations to the wedding guests who had come to the Creator God's wedding ceremony.
"Puhuhut. Got it, meow! Take a wedding invitation of the Great Colorless Dragon Hybrid Chairman Park and the Great Black Dragon Aileen Pritani, meow! Bring a hefty wedding gift sum, meow! If you come empty-handed or skip the wedding, I'll be stamping you, meow!"
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Here's an invitation to Dad's wedding! Make sure you come to Dad's wedding! There'll be lots of yummy food! By the way, you have to bring wedding gift money to eat any of it! And if you don't come, Cuengi will punish you!]
Kihihit. Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Take the butler's wedding invitation! Great Blackie worked super hard to set up this marriage, so you'd better come! If you don't, expect to receive great Blackie's mental training!]
"Hehe. Here's Dad's wedding invitation. You have to come, okay? Taecho will remember everyone's faces."
The group handed out invitations while throwing in a few threats.
While they were distributing invitations like that,
"Sejun, you worked so hard preparing today's wedding ceremony. Meirin asked me to make sure to thank you for putting today's ceremony together. And of course, I'm grateful too."
The Creator God, who had been greeting the other gods and Great Dragons, came over and spoke to him.
"Heheh. I'm glad you liked it. And thank you for the reward."
"Hoho. After you put on a wedding ceremony like that, of course you've earned it. So. You're getting married a month from now?"
"Yes. Here's the invitation. We'll have a lot of delicious food prepared, so please make sure to come."
"Hoho. I see. Then I definitely have to attend. Meirin and I will be sure to come."
"Yes."
While Sejun was conversing with the Creator God,
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I delivered an invitation to every last guest, meow! Creator God-nim, congratulations on your wedding, meow! Our Chairman Park's wedding is coming up too, meow!"
Kueng!
Kking!
"Daddy, Taecho handed out 100 of them too!"
The group, finished with handing out invitations, returned to Sejun.
"Creator God-nim, this is the leftover food. I think it'd be nice for you to share it with the remaining guests while you talk."
Since the wedding reception was almost over, Sejun pulled all the leftover food out of the Void Storage and handed it over, then,
"Aileen, let's go to Earth. We have to tell my parents about the wedding too."
"Yes!"
He moved to Earth with the group to share the wedding news with his parents.
And then,
"Hohoho. I see. You made the right choice. Aileen, thank you for marrying our Sejun. Our Aileen is finally going to become a real daughter-in-law."
"Mother, I'll do my best!"
"No. Aileen, you don't have to work hard. Sejun's the one who has to work hard."
"Of course! Who else but the kindhearted Aileen would take Sejun? Sejun, you'd better treat Aileen really well!"
Permission for the marriage was granted by Kim Mi-ran and Park Chunho all too easily.
However...
Your son's pretty impressive too, you know! He's seriously successful!
Sejun was annoyed that his parents seemed to think so little of him.
When Sejun got brushed aside,
"Kim Mi-ran and Park Chunho! Our Chairman Park might not be much to look at, but he has an excellent character, meow! Don't underestimate him, meow!"
Theo flared up to defend Sejun, but...
"We know Sejun has good character."
"Of course. Our eldest son falls way short of Aileen in looks, but his character is fine."
"Puhuhut. You knew, meow?! What a relief, meow!"
Just stay quiet, please...
Somehow Sejun ended up looking even more pitiful.
