## Chapter 1745 – The Life of a Transcender – A Black-Haired Foreigner’s Tale
“Here’s your order!”
As if performing a feat, Nick brought out multiple dishes at once.
ㅡClatter, clatter.
He acted cool and ‘served’ them very naturally.
It was truly a serving skill that had reached the pinnacle. The dishes stacked on his entire arm slid down like a slide and crashed.
“Ho! Your serving skills are impressive! Did you learn them somewhere special!”
Honestly, I was impressed.
I thought this kid was just suffering from an extreme case of middle-school syndrome, but this was good. Heh! My son can do things like this! I felt a strange sense of pride and burst out with praise.
“Learned? It’s just a meager skill.”
Cough…!
Meager skill, my ass!
It seems Nick’s preference is to ‘act like he’s hiding his strength while appearing humble, but blatantly showing off his abilities at the same time.’ I can’t understand the sensibility at all, but I guess that’s his taste.
He wants to hide himself, but he wants his abilities to be recognized.
He wants to be admired for it.
His thinking is so adorable.
“If that’s a meager skill, then the people of this world have no skills at all. It looks like you learned it professionally at a serving academy. Isn’t that right?”
I asked Winia and Risha, who were sitting next to me, for their agreement.
“Y-yes, it does seem so.”
“Indeed. It seems he learned it at a serving academy.”
The two women were desperately trying to hold back their laughter… I felt like I would be infected by their laughter. If I laugh here, it’s all for nothing!
Anyway, Nick, who heard those words in front of him.
“…”
He was literally twitching his lips and feeling a sense of omnipotence.
My son, in front of his dad and moms. Ah, no, this has to be kept a secret no matter what. I have to take it to the grave.
ㅡFlash.
Anyway, after talking that far, I secretly sent a message to the follow-up team. Now the other three will come in.
“Ah! And the aura I feel from your gait is like someone who has professionally trained in mana!”
“Do you feel that way? Thank you.”
Nick stroked his philtrum and smiled at my compliment.
No, but this bastard, when I praise him directly, he’s all, ‘What the hell is this guy talking about!’ But when a stranger praises him, he likes it this much!
I don’t understand…!
Being praised by the Heavenly Demon Divine Emperor Father vs. Being praised by a stranger.
If you compare the two, the former is overwhelmingly better. The more I see it, the more I question it. What the hell is going on in Nick’s brain?
“Ah, are you perhaps aiming to become a paladin? Your skills and everything else are extraordinary.”
Winia smiled brightly and said to Nick. I really can’t get used to that tone. Of course, it will look different to Nick.
“Hahaha. It’s nothing like that. I’m not such a respectable person.”
“Is that so?”
Anyway, Winia seemed to be so happy to be talking to her son while hiding her identity that she said a few more words and ordered additional food.
“Hehehe, Nick had such a side to him. It’s really cute.”
“I know, right! Ah! My son has this side too! Blackie! Let’s have another son!”
“You just want your milk bags to get bigger?”
“Honestly, Blackie’s gotten so much taller, my chest needs to get bigger to match.”
“Yeah. I agree.”
Honestly, I’ve always been concerned about that.
“Still, it’s good that he ran away from home. He’s completely different from how he is at home.”
“Y-yeah. Yeah. Everyone is different inside and outside the house. Nick is just like that.”
I think there’s a psychological term for it, but I can’t remember.
“By the way, I’m still worried. What if he gets angry later when he finds out the truth and says the aunts were involved too?”
“We have to hide it no matter what. Blackie. You can’t say anything, okay?”
“Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to say it either. I won’t say it.”
I can’t pour cold water on Nick when he’s so happy. Well, as we were eating and waiting like that.
ㅡClick.
Cloudy and Hilde. And Ari entered. They were all transformed by my distortion field. They naturally came over and joined us.
“Winia-nim…! It was so funny watching from outside! Nick is so cute!”
“Of course he’s cute. Whose son do you think he is?”
“I think Katt-nim was just like that in his mid-teens!”
“Hey! Would I be like that! Absolutely not!”
How awful!
“Hehehe, Katt. They say a strong denial is a strong affirmation. Katt was probably like that too.”
“No, Cloudy. You’re saying that because you’ve never seen me as a child, but in reality, it was nothing like that.”
When I was in middle school, I was contemplating world peace.
“No, Father.”
“What!”
“If Father had grown up like Nick, I think he would have been just like that.”
Now even Ari!
“No! What do you think I am! Hiding my strength is not my taste!”
When dealing with thugs or enemies, it’s definitely more advantageous to hide your strength a little, but I’ve never done anything like Nick.
“Hehe. Blackie is acting up.”
Of course, my women didn’t believe me. They all shared laughter, saying that I would have acted like Nick.
“Ah! Katt-nim!”
“Why.”
“What if Katt-nim was in Nick’s situation? What if Father-in-law Kim Mal-soo was a god and Katt-nim was born as a demigod-“
“How horrible…!”
I don’t even want to imagine it!
That Mal-soo is a god!
“Ah, Katt-nim. Don’t do that. Let’s say your father-in-law was a normal being.”
“Katt. What would it have been like? I think you would have been just like Nick.”
At those words, everyone stopped talking as if they were trying to imagine the scene. I also thought about it. If Mal-soo was normal, and I was his son.
“No matter what, I don’t think I would have hidden my strength and done such embarrassing things.”
“Bullshit. Blackie would have done it for sure. Who can deceive their blood?”
“Hehehe, that’s true. You can’t deceive your blood.”
“No. If you think about it that way, the daughters aren’t like that? What can’t you deceive?”
“Daughters and sons are different, Father.”
“Ugh…!”
No matter what I do, it’s a checkmate!
Because of Nick, that bastard!
“Anyway, call Nick and order.”
“Yes! Katt-nim!”
Immediately, they called Nick.
“Ah, are you joining us?”
“That’s the situation. What’s the most delicious thing here?”
Hilde asked with a smile, and Nick answered confidently.
“The most delicious thing is what the ‘wonderful person’ over there is eating.”
And he was pointing at me.
“Hahaha! A wonderful person! It’s embarrassing to hear someone who looks like a young nobleman say that!”
“Oh my, a young nobleman. That’s not true.”
When I matched his rhythm a bit, Nick, whose bluffing power exploded, showed an unsightly appearance and started bragging about himself.
ㅡPfft…!
ㅡCough!
ㅡHeh, heh heh!
Hilde, Ari, and Cloudy were already experiencing the extreme level of holding back laughter. Well, they barely finished ordering, and Nick went back.
“Save me! I’m going to die of laughter, Winia-nim! Katt-nim!”
“Hoo, hoo… Let’s take a deep breath. Let’s take a deep breath. Hilde.”
“Quickly…! Katt! You have to call everyone else!”
“Okay!”
ㅡFlash!
Immediately, the remaining team. The team consisting of Karin and Liz. And Elise and Kadia were called. The number is exactly the number of our family members, but because they were disguised as men with the distortion field, there’s no way they’ll be caught.
Soon they came in.
“Winia-nim…! Nick seems so fun! The very bloodline of the Saint!”
“Hehehe! I know, right! Look at that bluff, that bluff! He’s just like Katt-ssi!”
“What’s so similar!”
“You were like that in the past.”
“Well, this guy was a bit of a bluffer. Heh, our Nick is quite the character, isn’t he? He’ll be big later, right?”
They were talking noisily while joining us, but there’s no problem because it’s soundproofed.
“Hmph, we have to keep this a secret from Nick no matter what.”
“I agree.”
“Nick will be hurt if he finds out.”
Risha and Cloudy quietly agreed with Kadia’s words. Well, as new people came in, Nick came again to take orders.
“The owner will like this.”
“What menu should I order to make him like it more?”
“That’s exactly this!”
At Kadia’s words, Nick answered loudly and showed the menu.
“I see. But… your gait seems very perfect. You could even be a model.”
“Ha, haha…! A model!”
Nick, who couldn’t come to his senses from the pouring praise.
Like that, we ate a tremendous amount of food while saying all sorts of things to Nick.
Giving a tip when we came out was a bonus.
* * *
“Hehehe, this bastard is a masterpiece.”
Well, after that day, Nick lived well, eating and sleeping locally and working hard, without contacting home. Still, I went to see his face once in a while, and he was just blooming and looked very happy.
As expected, he’s a boy.
It seems he enjoys experiencing things outside.
“Perhaps because he lived in such a superior family, he enjoys living in a space that is relatively not so.”
“Right?”
Elise’s words are correct.
He’s good at everything. Our family is so superior. What would the world that Nick saw after leaving that place be like?
Thinking about that is also the duty of a father.
“When Nick comes back, let’s seriously ask him what he saw and felt. Ah, but we must never say that we secretly spied on him. We just have to say that we believed in Nick and waited.”
“Of course, Saint. No matter what, I’m not cruel enough to say such a thing. Hehe.”
Elise laughed as if she was in a good mood.
“But Saint.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“I, I think I’d like a son for the second child too…”
Elise, you too!
