Chapter 92 – Debut
A small plain, fluttering peach blossom petals.
In the middle of it all, a peach tree emitting brilliant light.
The scenery that unfolded beyond subspace was so dreamy and beautiful that one naturally had a word of exclamation.
“… Nectarine.”
“You got it right. That is Socheop’s true name.”
Recalling the various stories related to a certain tree, Jun quietly recited the name of the tree.
Then Sprout slowly nodded and revealed his identity.
“Jun, do you know what tree Sprout is?”
“I know a few stories about trees with the same name, but I don’t know if they are the same species.”
Nectarine.
Some people say that they gained an incredibly long life by eating that peach, and some monkeys say that they were able to enjoy immortality by eating it.
There were various other tales, most of which were related to longevity and recovery.
“But didn’t the Earth God say that he couldn’t find the Divine Beast, so he became the source of the world himself? “Why is there a tale about a divine beast?”
“Well, maybe the gods from other worlds went to Earth and spread the word to annoy the Earth gods. My father said that the Earth God is the leader of trends, so there are many gods who go out to play, and many gods are jealous.”
Should we call it the Korean Wave, or the Earth Wave?
Jun felt proud as if he still retained his identity as an Earthling.
“Anyway, sprouts seem to be divine beasts with specialized abilities for edible purposes.”
“Are there differences in abilities depending on the type of Shinsu?”
“Huh! The basic abilities are similar, but each has specialized abilities. The world tree that my father planted when he created this world has an outstanding ability to transform the dirty things called ‘misunification’ into clean things.”
Fortuna said that and looked at Sprout with sparkling eyes.
Judging by the way he was subtly rubbing his stomach with both hands, it seemed like he was asking for some peaches.
Why on earth does a child who can survive with just mana have such a greedy appetite?
While Jun was looking at Fortuna with dumbfounded eyes, her sprout slightly lowered her head as if she was sorry.
“I’m sorry. All the nutrients from the ‘manure’ provided by her sister and master were invested in its growth, so it has not yet borne fruit.”
‘Manure means the corpse of Cerberus, right?’
The body of Cerberus cut in two.
The reason one of them was not sold to the guild was because it was given to Sprout as fertilizer at Sprout’s request and Fortuna’s recommendation.
‘Is it because it was used as fertilizer that it grew so quickly that it was able to create a self-immolation like this? Fortuna was right that it would be a great help to Sprout.’
Fortuna said.
Magi is mana with the divine power of another world added to it, so the corpse of Cerberus is an excellent fertilizer for sprouts that live on divine power and mana.
Perhaps it was due to direct summoning, or perhaps because Cerberus itself was a high-ranking boss mob guarding the depths of the Demon King’s Castle, but both the quantity and quality of the demon energy contained in the corpse was enormous, so the corpse must have made excellent fertilizer.
“Please wait a moment. “We will try to bear fruit as soon as possible.”
“Oh, no, don’t apologize, bud. Just when I was thinking about having dessert, the story came up, so I did it as a joke.”
“Okay, don’t worry about it, bud. Rather, are you and the nectarine from Earth’s tale the same species?”
“Yes, I think so. The fruit of Socheop has the effect of growing the entire body of the person who eats it. The growth of the vital body naturally leads to extension of life, fire, and recovery. “I believe they are probably the same species.”
“Is it. Well, anyway, I look forward to the day when the sprout will bear fruit. The effect of the fruit is the same as the elixir of growth, but the difference in effect will not be large as you, a divine beast, create it.”
When Jun asked that, Sprout proudly opened his chest and answered his question.
“Of course it comes. In Murim, there are quite a few people who became hermits after eating the fruit produced by Socheop’s sisters. “If the soybean begins to bear fruit, you will no longer have to drink that old water.”
It was very nice to hear that I no longer had to drink the elixir.
However, Jun was more focused on something else than those words.
“Sprout, does becoming a hermit mean you have become a god?”
“That’s right. Although they have no worthy achievements and are of the lowest rank among the gods, they are definitely gods. If you continue to eat my fruits, you will be able to ascend to the throne. Unlike them, my master owns the same world as me, so even if he were to ascend to the throne, he would have a status so high that they could not be compared to them.”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s high or low. Because being a god itself is the most important thing to me.”
The reason why Jun aims for the throne,
It was only to impregnate Fortuna with his seed.
That’s why he was so happy at this moment.
Because the path to the throne, which had been vague, was clearly revealed.
“Sprout. Thank you so, so much. “For coming to us.”
Fortuna hugged Sprout with tears in her eyes.
He wasn’t the only one who was happy to find a clear path. No, she was much more happy and grateful than that.
She tried not to think about it, but part of her was always criticizing herself for not being able to fulfill her duty as a wife and apologizing to Jun.
But how could she not be happy and grateful that she was able to fulfill her duty thanks to Sprout?
“Sprout! Jun said he would take you as his concubine! From now on, let’s live happily ever after with Jun and her sister.”
‘I think that’s what I should say. It doesn’t matter. I guess I can talk to you later when I have some time.’
Seeing Fortuna so happy, I wondered how she was.
Jun smiled and opened his arms wide to embrace his two wives who were squealing and hugging each other.
The sweet scent of milk and peach seeped deep into her nostrils.
“Oh, instead of doing this here, how about we go into your world together, master, or rather, my husband?”
“Uh? “Can we go in now?”
“That’s right. Now, please eat inside.”
Sprouts said this and waved her arms.
Then, the entrance to the subspace, which was the size of a person’s upper body, became as large as a gate.
Jun asked, stepping into the space with his arms around the two women.
“Sprout, how are you manipulating my subspace?”
“Maybe because my soul is connected to you, Socheop can also manipulate space to some extent. “I am very happy to receive your copy, as I think it will be of great help to you.”
A sprout hanging on your arm with a gentle smile.
Fortuna said, ‘Ah! Me too!’ He shouted, clinging to her other arm.
The warm and soft feeling coming from his arms made Jun very happy.
This is why it’s a harem.
‘Now that I think about it…’
“Por, there’s no need to take a concubine anymore, is there?”
The reason Fortuna recommended taking a concubine was because there was a high possibility that she would not be able to conceive.
But now that the possibility has increased dramatically, there is no need for her to continue the recommendation.
“The possibility has increased, but it is not certain. So let’s just bring in a few more people.”
“The concubine thinks it would be better, so she buys it. Just because she eats one of her fruits, she does not immediately ascend to her throne, and it takes a lot of time and energy to bear her fruits. So…”
“So?”
When Jun asked again, Saessagi, who had been lost in thought while dragging his words, gave a clear answer.
“Take in no more than five of her concubines. She comes to help the party complete the labyrinth. It is believed that the by-products obtained from the labyrinth will be good nutrients for the soybean plant to bear fruit. She explores the labyrinth with them and obtains by-products, and if it bears fruit, you can take it.”
“… Somehow my role seems to be that of an evil pillar who is the last to steal the fruits of the wives’ hard work.”
“Don’t feel so burdened~. “Because all the women who will be with Jun, including me and Sassaegi, will definitely live happy lives.”
“Is that really the case? I think it would be fortunate if a cat fight didn’t break out.”
Is it easier said than done that she can be happy even if she shares the man she loves with someone else?
Fortuna and Sprout may be special cases.
“If Jun becomes more handsome, smells better, and has more energy than he does now, I guarantee you that will happen. So, let’s do it the way I want when we renovate in the future. “Understand, right?”
“My lord, I think it would be better to do as you wish. So do as her sister wishes.”
Jun didn’t think that was a good idea, but he eventually nodded thanks to Fortuna’s repeated recommendations and Sassaggi’s agreement.
Is it just my mood that makes me feel like I’m somehow possessed by a fox?
The three of them continued walking even while Jun was in an awkward mood.
After a while, the three arrived in front of the peach tree in the middle of the plain.
Jun asked as he caressed the peach tree, which was now a 5-meter-tall sapling.
“Bud, is this tree your body?”
“That’s right. As a spirit, Socheop is only an avatar, and the main body is ultimately this tree.”
“Which one should I do the dirty stuff with? Could it be…”
Jun trailed off his words and looked at the small knothole in the tree trunk.
If, really, he had to put it in there… Jun honestly didn’t have the confidence to do it.
“Hehe. Please don’t worry. “You can make the heir with an avatar.”
“Whoa~”
I naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a sigh filled with more sincerity than ever before.
After resolving his worries, Jun took his eyes off the peach tree and slowly looked into subspace.
When I looked inside, I saw that the plain was not that small. Wouldn’t it be about the size of a soccer field?
The area beyond was blocked by a black membrane, which made it feel like I was inside a huge capsule.
He raised his head up.
Of course, the sky was also blocked by a black film.
Nevertheless, the surroundings were very bright and warm, as if the sun had settled in the sky.
It was thanks to the warm light emitted by the peach blossom petals spinning in a circular pattern on top of the peach tree.
“June! June! Look over there, it’s a lake, it’s a lake!”
Fortuna pointed to a small lake near the peach tree.
With her, she went to the lake and looked into it. It was so clear and clean that you could just drink it without any problems.
“During the last battle, there was some lake water left over to prepare for a firestorm, so I used that water to make a lake. Do you like it?”
“Yes, very much.”
Perhaps because I have practiced while looking at the lake for 15 years, I felt very relieved and at ease just by looking at the lake.
I was worried about where to train now, but I thought I could do it here.
“Ah, sprout. What are the things I put in subspace?”
“It is over there.”
When I looked at the direction where Sprout was pointing, I could see that the items that had been stored in subspace until now were placed in a corner.
Although it was laid out neatly, it looked somewhat messy as it was just lying around on the ground.
“I need to get a storage cabinet.”
“Also, I think it would be a good idea to get the same furniture as the one in the studio and keep it there. We are here so that you can stay here without any problems.”
“Good idea.”
When exploring a labyrinth, lodging is as important as combat, and lodging and lodging are the most dangerous times.
Being able to find food and lodging in this subspace will definitely be of great help in conquering the labyrinth.
“If possible, should I set up a garden and raise animals? “I also put a few fish in the lake.”
My heart pounded because it felt like I was playing a real-life training game.
Sprout and Fortuna also seemed excited as their cheeks turned slightly red.
“A clear vision is coming.”
“Good! But how are you going to get that much?”
“You could ask Carol. I told you to tell me anything if you need help. The question now is how much money it costs…”
When I thought about it, I didn’t think there was anything to worry about.
The guild purchased half of Cerberus’ private loans at a very generous price, so the funds were overflowing, a bit exaggerated.
Even in an expensive labyrinth city, wouldn’t it be possible to buy two or three fairly large mansions?
“Then, while we’re talking, let’s go straight to Carol.”
“My lord, before that, won’t you give a name to Socheop and your newborn world?”
Sprout looked up at Jun with an earnest expression.
Jun grinned at the sight of her so lovely appearance and stroked her head affectionately.
“Oh, by the way. Look at my mind. “I forgot to tell you.”
“Huh? Jun, have you already decided on a name? When? When did you decide?”
“When I first set foot in subspace, no, in this world.”
At that time, it just popped into her mind.
Let’s give those names to her and to her.
“The name of this place, filled with the scent of peaches and like the utopia I dreamed of when I imagined a happy life, is Dowonhyang.”
“The name of my second wife, who is the mother of this world and is as innocent and pretty as a peach blossom, is Dohwa.”
“How is it? Do you like it? Are you too senseless?”
“No. I like it so, so much.”
Sprout, Dohwa smiled innocently and sweetly, befitting her new name.
Those peach blossom-like lips with a beautiful smile were so pretty that Jun unconsciously kissed them.
The rich peach scent filled my mouth.
