Chapter 1007 – Epilogue. So We
***
The sun went down slowly outside the window.
It took me 12 hours to explain our past 4 years while doing a grandstand in a handstand position.
In the meantime, it’s hard to talk about how much magic and fantasy unfolded in this ordinary apartment living room. Persuasion depends on the messenger and directing.
“Nord… I mean Norse.”
In order to maintain his sane figure, my father took a shot of the black liquor—whiskey from another world—and spoke in a solemn tone.
“Yes, my son’s name must have been difficult for daughters-in-law to call. I understood what had happened. If it’s called that in your world, feel free to sing it in front of us.”
“Yes, yes… Thank you… “
Was it because I saw my father discipline me as if from God? Our wives, who fought against evil spirits with vigor, were as quiet as puppies bitten by tigers for a day.
“I’m going crazy. I can’t believe it, but I have to believe it.”
“Father. I’ll pour you a drink.”
Ralilura grabs the bottle right away and pours it politely. It’s not like you’re trying to recover the points you lost with the TMI at the time of self-introduction.
“… Thank you. Did you say Miss Priscilla?”
“Yeah! As I said, I used stage names in other worlds, but I would be very happy if my father and mother called me by my real name!”
“Huh. How can you speak so beautifully?”
My father was uncomfortable, but he had an admirable eye.
“And you… Ha.”
On the contrary, the eyes that are stuck on me are admirable but also dissatisfied.
“Yeah, that was great. It was such a great story that I feel sorry for not being able to boast that my son is so dependable, but this is really… Ha… “
A father who cannot speak.
He did just that. In fact, the introduction a while ago was quite serious even from my point of view.
“But what is it, do you believe in it?”
“Yes, child. When you pour out stories that are difficult to digest at once, it seems like you are getting a contract for fraud, and you end up falling in between mothers and fathers.”
“Heh heh heh…”
“What? Smile? You unfilial bastard who will be beaten by wind. I gave birth and raised him to give birth to a son, but he went around dressing up to die with his smart hair who took care of him so that his head would be pretty.”
“Det?”
“This father will not be able to live up to my name because of you. If people in the neighborhood come to give rice cakes to say that my son has returned alive and say, ‘But the young lady with the Kang family should change every time they see their son,’ I have to say that my son is so good that his daughters-in-law die.”
This flashy tongue-fencing. My dad is right.
Her mother, who had put an ice pack on her forehead and was unable to speak, slapped her father helplessly on the back.
“Honey, stop it. Didn’t you hear about North Lake?”
“I do this because I heard it. My son got caught up in other people’s fights and almost died several times, but he actually died and came back to life, and then died and came back to life… “
His father, who had been pounding on his chest, let out a breath as if he was digesting his stomach.
“… Even though I was able to enjoy a movie of wealth and honor through such hard work, I was scolded until a long time ago, and I even dared to greet the pathetic father, how can I be calm?”
“… Yep?”
I thought it was a word of admonition again, so I stayed still like a mutt that had been soaked in water, but the nuance was a bit strange.
Doesn’t that sound like he is blaming himself, not me?
“What are you freaking out about, you idiot? We just knew you were dead. Your son was throwing himself away in that harsh world, trying to return to his mother and father’s arms, but we couldn’t do that while looking for you!”
When I noticed my surprise, my father continued to beat him on the chest.
“Uh… Father? It can’t be helped, can it?”
If what I know is correct, I heard that after 5 years of disappearance, you will be able to post a death report on the family register.
I don’t know, but isn’t it Korea that has advantages—relatively— for identification and search for missing people, like CCTV and resident registration numbers?
Still haven’t been able to find the missing person for 4 years?
If it is not the negligence of the investigative agency, it is a more realistic idea to see that he died or went into hiding on purpose.
Besides, since I fell off the beach and went missing, there’s nothing to say about eyewitness accounts or if something like a smartphone that was probably dropped in the sea was found, it would have been fish food.
“Can’t help it? Stop talking bullshit, you son of a bitch!”
My father was outraged. He was angry with you.
“Four years! It’s been 4 years since you disappeared! But he beats his son who came back after all the hardships! I’m the one to kill, I’m the one to kill… !”
“So Father. My father’s reaction is normal.”
Strangely, we were the exact opposite of the position of the missing person and the family he was looking for.
That’s the case, let’s honestly think about it quietly.
It is a fact that I came back alive and well. Since he is in good health, it is quite natural to think that he was not imprisoned or had to go through hardships.
After waking up to Mana, the luster flows from her face, and her tteokdae has grown.
Thanks to Kristoff, even the clothes are neatly equipped with modern clothes!
If you look in the mirror, you can see that there is a filial piety, a filial piety, a filial pie, who came from somewhere and came back after 4 years.
By the way, did that guy come with 6 wives?
In addition, good-looking beauties put their hands side by side and say, ‘I have decided to live as my son’s Nth wife’?
In terms of common sense, where is this normal?
If I were a father, I wouldn’t be surprised to think that I was joining a terrorist group, gang, mafia or something that was enslaving innocent women. Those criminals who sometimes appear when you turn on the news.
“Even from the perspective of me, the person in charge, it seems like a great insult to have listened to my excuses up to this point.
“It hurts. It hurts my heart that I stabbed my mother-in-law, the son I raised with your mother.”
My father cleared the bottle with hands that were more wrinkled than I remembered and groped my face.
“You foolish bastard of the world. If I could eat and live well in that world, I would just live there. Why did I go this far? Even though they live under the same sky, there are so many people who never see their parents’ faces… “
“No, Father. Why are you crying again?”
“This guy? Who cries?”
“Who is it, my father is crying. My mother is crying too Can I cry too?”
How long has it been since you saw your father cry?
Perhaps the last time her grandfather’s puppy crossed the rainbow bridge because of illness.
You, who cried so much when your grandfather, who lived in the countryside, passed away, stayed up all night drinking, saying that you hadn’t taken good care of the child your grandfather left behind.
That was the day I decided on my college career.
“… I also tried to live as an unfilial child, but it didn’t work out.”
He cheekily scratched his cheek. He is the puppy left by his grandfather, and he is the father who used to cry like that. Not to mention, since I, a child, had suddenly disappeared, it was only natural for me to dry up.
Father let out a deep sigh.
“Parents are the ones who take care of their children even when everyone in the world curses at their children, saying they are ugly and unaware of shame.
“It’s about my son before it’s about other people’s world. What?”
“Right, son. Well spoken. Wherever you are, if you help others and make your family laugh, then a man has done his duty.”
Frank gently held out a tissue to blow his nose, and the father shook his head.
“Seeing that my daughters-in-law came together on the way to be scolded and were fidgety, trying to say something nice about you, with all their heart and soul, I can roughly understand what your family usually looks like.”
“I’m a bit hesitant to brag to my mother and father, even if it’s not known to anyone else.”
“I wish I had that conscience. If this is the result of your hard work and your daughter-in-law accepted it, then I won’t say anything anymore.”
“… Hehe, that’s what you said, but isn’t it a bit strange after all?”
One husband, six wives.
I, who drank water from another world and lost my senses, have never had anything so strange to say in the living room of my parents’ house. Even as my father kicked his tongue, his eyes softened.
“Are you saying anything? However, there is nothing that is not strange from one to ten of the things you have been through. But even in such a strange world, you have always been the son of the two of us. Isn’t it?”
“… Yep.”
I couldn’t achieve the point of not being ashamed to look up to the sky, but if I add a little bit of mental victory, wouldn’t I be able to brazenly say that my father is a good person even if my children ask me later?
“Then it happened. If you support your family, you too are a full-fledged adult. Come on, have a drink too.”
Again and again…
The drink that overflowed from my father’s bottle filled my glass.
“If, by any chance, you are in debt to your poor father, let’s replace it with the one you just hit. Now live confidently without feeling guilty towards me.”
“Yes. I feel a little guilty about my mother, so I will visit her often.”
“Goyan doesn’t listen to his father even after he dies. Don’t bring tears to your daughter-in-law’s eyes. On the day you do that, I will come to scold you, so you know.”
“Since my father decided to break the relationship between parent and child with the one he just beat, then I’ll just block it a bit. Can’t a man talk twice with one mouth?”
“I was scammed by my son again. Honey and daughter-in-law, don’t laugh.”
– Salty.
After clinking glasses, my father emptied his glass faster than I did and bowed deeply to my wives.
“My ladies have nothing to do with me. I acted like a grown-up when I raised her husband in the wild, but today is the end of that story. Please take good care of my poor son.”
“… If you let me call you father from now on, I will.”
When Dana smiled softly, her father clapped his hands and burst into laughter as if he had been caught off guard.
“Let’s do that. Okay, let’s stop holding the form now. It’s North Lake. Do you have any snacks?”
This time it was our wives’ turn to be dazed. Mother smiled softly.
“Are you done? I thought honey was also used by the ghost of my deceased father, what is it?”
“In this day and age, when you’re 50 years old, you’re like this, like that, isn’t it? It’s been a while since I put so much pressure on my face, and I feel like I’m going to get cramps.”
“Apply water paste. So son, do you have anything you want to eat? You said you had to go back for a second? I’ll eat mom’s rice tomorrow morning, and I’ll order something for late-night snack.”
A change of attitude is great. After all, age is an iron plate on the face.
My wives looked at me with blank faces, so I shrugged.
“What are you so surprised about? Who do you think raised your husband?”
“… That’s what I heard.”
“The sub-electronic war.”
That reaction is a bit sad for Seo-Bang-nim, honey.
“It’s more unfortunate than that. How come my son has been to 6 weddings, and Mom and Dad have never attended yours. I’m sorry, what should I do?”
Stuttering When my mother, who had been installing the delivery app, spoke, I stuttered slightly.
“Um, that’s it, mother? Actually, still—”
“Actually, I haven’t finished number six yet, mother.”
─Like it. Said Nefertiti, holding her mother’s hand respectfully.
“Me and Nord are still married. There were a lot of urgent matters, and for the aristocrats of our world, the wedding process was cumbersome, and there was a state funeral for the former king recently, so it was not seldom in the mood to hold a ceremony.”
An explanation of Nefertiti with enthusiasm. It was the clearing water itself.
I’ve never seen him speak so skillfully and at such length.
A well-organized, unnecessary speech that even considers her husband’s point of view! If it was really surprising, Tirshi, who was relaxed, stopped drinking water while spitting out.
However, the mother, unaware of Nefertiti’s usual appearance, put her hand on her cheek as if she was seriously perplexed.
“Okay? The current was not good. Aside from avoiding hands-free days, there are so many things to take care of when it comes to marriage. I don’t know how my son did that troublesome thing 5 times.”
“The sense of responsibility is also the charm of Nord. And I think that the delay in my wedding was guided by fate.”
“Oh my gosh? Why?”
Her mother’s ears perked up at her attention. Nefertiti responded immediately.
“If I hold a ceremony in my mother and father’s hometown, I can invite them both.”
“Oh my, my God! Can you really?! It would be more grandiose to post it in that world… !”
“I don’t have any relatives, so it doesn’t matter. It would be my pleasure if I could show my mother a Norse wedding, even if it seems unqualified.”
Dana began to wonder if our fourth-dimensional lady had seriously injured her head in a fight, and whether she should be treated later.
“Hey, you got the score cleverly?! Sister Nefertiti… !”
Lalilura murmured softly. Scratching my head, I went to the corner of the room to pick up my mother and our fourth-dimensional girl who had fallen into the world of two people.
“Are you really going to have your wedding here?”
What about proof of identity? There is a temporary identity that Christoph created, but is it at the level of bypassing the public certificate firewall of this thorough personal information management agency, Dystopy-Korea?
‘… Oh, did you register your marriage separately?’
If it’s just a ceremony, I don’t think I need an identity.
The manager of the wedding hall also gives money, but there is no need to dig into his identity. It is clear that there is no doubt about it. Isn’t that the power of capitalism?
Complicated issues such as costs and procedures in another world should be able to be solved by my ship.
“I, Nord’s hometown, has been full of interest since before.”
Then Nefertiti blinked expressionlessly.
“By the way, Nord, at first you lied to me that Weiznia was her hometown. I took her to a caterpillar-eating country and made her fight against a very strong elf.”
“Uh, well, um… ”
“You can’t lie. No?”
“… You’re right. That’s right, that’s it.”
“I might cry. Heeing.”
“I will! Let’s do it!”
Who knows, I was the MVP of the day.
Anyway, my nemesis is always the past me. Kang Buk-ho, you bastard! Don’t hold back the great hero Nord von Wolfheddin!
In any case, it is the duty of a harem forager to grant his wife’s wish. I made up my mind and asked a question.
“I have a week left until I return home, so I will do something. How about a proposal?”
“I’ve already heard a lot.”
It was true.
There is nothing to do again. Because I say so many unfamiliar things.
“… But. It’s a responsibility without pleasure, but I do have a daughter.”
“… Daughter? Son, you said you were a daughter-“
“Nothing is immea, Mother! Please leave me to propose for a second!”
I took out the ring box while breathing in Lamaze.
A well-prepared man, that’s me too.
If you threw your personal inventory at a guy waiting to propose, everyone would be like this? You don’t know when and how Gak will come out.
I was hesitant about the environment, but Nefertiti only looked at me in one second, concentrating as if there were only her and me in the world.
Look at your concentration. Is this Chamba as a master level warrior?
Can’t do I got up and got down on my knees. Ah, come to think of it, my obsession with Gao is probably a DNA problem. When I saw my father smile, I lost almost 140%.
“… Did you promise I will tell you about the pleasures of the world that you do not know and do not want to know. So trust me.”
“Yes.”
The hometown where the little girl Nefertiti died and the vengeful Nefertiti was born. I made a promise to her, covering her hell with her body, recreating her past.
I forced Nefertiti to stay by my side after I finished my revenge. I’ll teach you how to have fun.
I think I made an effort. I can’t say I’m proud of it, though.
─Ugh. Brawnach, who was wearing a bracelet, cried. I smiled and held her hand.
“… Nefertiti, did I keep my promise?”
She was glad that now that her revenge had been completed, her beloved Nefertiti was no longer as blunt as before.
For something as ordinary and important as her marriage, having become ordinary enough to overcome her own personality and cling to her with all her might——that she had hoped for such a happy life.
Even though I don’t have much to show off to my parents, I had the confidence to proudly show off these cute and charming wives.
After receiving the question, Nefertiti pondered.
“… Yes. Promise, I kept it until today.”
Oops, the evaluation is harsh.
My bitter smile was received by Nefertiti as a smile as well. The expression of emotions that became quite natural is impressive. It looks like moist honey coming out.
“No one knows if it will be protected tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Therefore… “
“Therefore?”
Urged by her husband, who knows the answer, Nefertiti averted her eyes and glanced at me.
“… More and more, teach me happiness.”
“I will. Forever and ever.”
I put the ring on the ring finger of Nefertiti’s left hand and consciously restrained the blood flow in her face that was about to turn red. Then, following her father’s example, she laid the iron plate and said.
“Mother, Father.”
“Why?”
“What is it, son?”
“Will you come to the wedding?”
The parents exchanged glances.
-Chin. Father patted mother on the back as if to entrust her. My mother touched her forehead as if she would not live.
“You didn’t mean to call me? Whoops. I guess he hasn’t been scolded yet, honey.”
Great scholars say that there are no parents who overcome their children.
So, shouldn’t children also go out of their way to win against parents who concede victory with a handicap?
So, the reason I couldn’t defeat them was because the corpse of a Confucian dragon was living and breathing inside me.
***
“A wedding? Haha, are you kidding? I heard you’re going back to Midgard in a week? … You’re kidding, right? Yes?”
Tragically, the reservation of the wedding hall was completed with Kristoff’s screams.
When I tried to call him on this fine day, the son of Ashelad refused and withdrew like a corpse. Just like his mother, if a person is sincere, he suffers a loss like this.
“I’m also a very sincere person, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know.”
“Yeah? Sir, did you say something?”
“Nope. Anything.”
I muttered while waiting at the ceremony hall, but the hairdresser who was doing my hair before entering seemed to have overheard. When I answered without even shaking her head, she gasped.
“It’s done. If you want to take a good picture, you can’t use it if you touch your head! Since the god is clear, the person lives!”
How can my hair not be ruined after chatting with acquaintances who came to see me after I came back alive? I snooped in front of the mirror. The goon is handsome.
“This is worth the money spent. It’s really fortunate that gold bars go through any world, right?”
“Son. What am I to become a VVIP of a gold and silver room all of a sudden?”
“What is it? He is a middle-aged man with a son. We will focus on precious metals so that the source is not suspicious. Make sure to wear the rings and bracelets I gave you.”
Even wizards in this world won’t know what it is until they put it on themselves. It’s an amazing fact that there are guys who filmed urban fantasy in the underworld of the earth except for me.
“OK. I was still full of energy. Your mother also put potion on her face from morning. Lady Tyrsi gave it to you.”
“Does your father know what a potion is?”
“It’s the Lineage Generation. Not now.”
A married man in his 50s doing shadow boxing wearing an artifact that gives health and strength. Is this my father? Um, I’m proud of you.
“Don’t just talk and go. Without me, your mother would make mistakes while boasting about her rejuvenation.”
My father stayed for a few more minutes and then quickly went to the banquet hall and sat down.
I waited and closed my eyes for a moment.
Darkness and negative mana rushed from within. When I raised my index finger and drew it toward the sky hidden by the ceiling, the greatly damaged dimensional membrane was slightly repaired like a graft.
When I looked in the mirror, my eyes were fluorescent and red.
“It’s an octopus whose love is heavy until the end.”
To finally become a champy is yellow monkey. Feeling degenerate at the end of evolution.
I let out a sigh, but I couldn’t throw anything away. Because the mana absorbed by Wolfheddin’s authority is inseparable from my soul.
A person leaves a name after death, but an octopus seems to leave mana in the soul of the person it loves even after death.
I stopped thinking about the octopus that I couldn’t forget for the rest of my life unintentionally, and after seeing the ending of Ragnarok, I thought of Odin’s alter ego that went into immortality.
“… Go ahead and wait, buddy. I will hold a ancestral rite every year.”
Even if I don’t do it, sooner or later the Church of Rocky will do it. That’s how I held onto Nefertiti’s arms as he entered the waiting room.
This is the end of the wedding that I’m not used to and shouldn’t be.
Looking back, listening to congratulatory speeches and cheering voices, the hall was full of people I knew but had forgotten about for 4 years. Parents, relatives, acquaintances, college seniors, military classmates or friends.
It was so funny that the sullen wives were sitting in the meantime, and when I woke up after giggling, the happy time was almost over.
After the wedding, we were the only ones left in the wedding hall where the parents had left. Now I’m going to have to get out of my way until the staff clears the hall.
Dana, wearing a three-piece suit with pants, said as if she was very concerned.
“… Damn, why are you feeling a little lost? It’s definitely my last marriage, so if I had to count the order, it would be my victory.”
“It is the privilege of the last batter to decorate the ending. V.”
As Nefertiti, clad in a rich wedding dress, poses as if it were her triumph, Lari Lura smiles unsmilingly.
“Aha♡ It’s not an ending at all, right? Is our life from now on?”
“Be prepared for Nefertiti. You’re feeling like you’ve won today, but now when you get home, everyone else will say, ‘You’re married too? Yes? I’ll be hearing ‘When?’ For three years.”
“Oh, that’s inconsiderate. Let the wizard tell you instead. It can be solved by attaching a lot of posters.”
“What qualifications do I have as an honorary aristocrat? When will you call me Tyrsi again?”
“Well, isn’t that a nickname for Nefertiti?”
“Hey, Veronica. You’ve been enchanted Horns came out.”
“… Uhm. Stop because it’s pretty great food. I have to taste it properly so I can taste it to other bicorns and Loki-sama.”
“Excuses. … Shall I make it for my mom and dad too?”
Why do I feel a little far away from them having a conversation?
I got the answer. It’s amazing how beautiful, cool, and attractive women love me all over again. Because the familiar Earth is cut and pasted into the background, it seems like people from another dimension.
Yes, they are people from another dimension, but it means that they are difficult to get in touch with.
To be precise, is it correct to say that it’s a great scene that makes you feel sorry for interfering?
“What are you doing? Nor.”
Then, the other hand holding my hand as I stood there.
Fran, with one of her eyes wide open, looked at me and smiled tenderly.
“Ehe♡ Come quickly. Didn’t you promise to show Nord his hometown, just like he did in Shade’s dream?”
It was. Just like ‘The Lord of the Deep’ did, I decided to make the world that I was satisfied with just seeing it in a dream, now in reality.
“Hehe, I think I fell asleep while standing for a while.”
I took Fran’s hand.
Fran asked me one day. Show me the end of my dreams
So, would I have listened to her request?
Not like that. Even if you wake up once, you can dream again if you fall asleep again.
Since no one sleeps, dreams never wake up either.
Let’s enjoy this nostalgic world for the remaining few days. With them, who are now part of me, all night long.
I’ll have to go back in a few days, but whatever.
Leave and come back wake up, fall asleep again Isn’t that how our life goes?
“Ah——!! Fran unnie is flirting with her senpai again!!”
Lalilura, who found the two of us standing together like a ghost, shouted. It was impressive to see the five pairs of wives and children spinning around.
“And copying the skills of seniors who go forward is a creature called juniors!”
─Pook! Priscilla rushed over and was cradled in the other arm. The youngest, who led the atmosphere in our family, was such a cutie that we could never hate him.
“Wow, that’s right. At what point did you quickly go to Norr? I didn’t even notice.”
“Oh no! Me, I’m just worried because Norr is absent-mindedly… “
“Questions and answers are useless, and monopolies are prohibited. Yap.”
Nefertiti removed the franc and Dana received it. Mixed whole, very.
“… Yes, rest assured After all, this is where I will return.”
Let’s move on to a smile on Nefertiti’s hug.
Why? Because that’s cute Her high heels must have been very awkward, and she was subtly lovely to take off her shoes and wriggle around barefoot.
Thanks to him, he puffed out his cheeks, not knowing why he had been separated from me.
“Ah, let go! What did I do? Yes!”
“It’s so great that you don’t even have awareness. This is purely admirable.”
Dana pulls Fran’s cheek. She hushed her plump cheeks and, as she did every day, tapped my side and smiled.
“My husband also sat blankly. When you’re like that, it’s probably pointless or a headache. Don’t suffer alone and talk to your sister? It’s a bit pitiful to leave you alone.”
“Whoops. Isn’t it boring just being calm? You won’t get bored if you’re with the master. The aimless journey is very tiring for her.”
Veronica also subtly pushed her breasts against me. She herself also had a blush on her face, but her attacks were all the same. She can clearly see who is holding the reins.
“What if you are tired? Sometimes emptying your thoughts and walking around isn’t the true taste of travel, right? Yes, I want to buy a present for my father and mother first.”
She continued to try Tyr, who was steadily planning to increase her favorability. What’s subtly scary is that I don’t even know which side I’m aiming for, me and my parents.
Even so, I know very well that he reveals his enormous love for me with such a calculating mind without even hiding it.
Surrounded by her wives, I burst out laughing.
“My wives are so wrapped up that there’s no room to step on.”
“Don’t worry, go where you want to go. We’ll figure it out.”
“Where do you want to go? Where?”
“Everywhere is fine! Where Norr takes you!”
Dana giggled, and Fran laughed. The other wives also smiled and affirmed.
Receiving the answer, I opened my eyes narrowly as if I had received a dazzling light, and pulled the corners of my mouth deeper and longer than those eyes.
“Then, next time——”
So the first dream ended.
But we will not stop, we will dream again.
Because that dream is the compass that guides us as we navigate the sea of stars.
