“Good morning, what’s going on this early in the morning?”
“Oh! You can’t deceive me, I already received the news that the baby angels came yesterday!”
Yerin looked playfully stern.
I let her into the house with a smirk.
“Ta-da!”
“What’s that?”
“Huh? You said you had plans all day today, right? In the meantime, I prepared this and that to have fun with the kids.”
In the big bag Yerin brought, there were food, toys, dolls, and legos that children would like.
“Why did you buy so much? Someone might think you’re raising a child.”
“I heard a few days ago that the kids were coming, and I was thinking about what to do to play, and I bought so many of them before I knew it. Hehe.”
Yerin smiled a little embarrassedly.
Still, I felt grateful because she did it for the kids.
“Thank you. I didn’t expect you to take this much care of them.”
“Hey, why are you thanking me all of sudden…Stop with the stuffy formalities…so where are the kids? Guys, where are you?”
” Ah…Yerin. When did you come? Did you have breakfast?”
“Yes Aunt Saya, I had a quick bite. Hello, Speranza!”
Speranza stared blankly for a moment, then belatedly remembered Yerin and waved her hand quietly.
Yerin smiled as if she was very happy.
“Oh? It’s Yerin! Popi!”
Pow wow woooo
“Hi, guys. You remembered me, didn’t you?”
Akum and Gyuri quickly remembered Yerin and welcomed her.
I was sorry to leave the children with my mother, but thanks to Yerin, I could relax a little more.
“Then I’ll get going.”
As I got ready to go out with my shoes on, all the children sprang out the front door.
“Papa… Where are you going?”
“Sorry dear, I think I’ll be a little busy today because I have work.”
“Uh….”
I Swept Speranza’s sullen hair softly.
“But we can stay together tomorrow. Just hang in there for today. Instead, have fun with grandma and sister Yerin. Okay?”
NOD
Speranza nodded with regret.
“Gyuri and Akum should also listen to what grandma says, got it?”
“Okay, Popi! I’m obedient, Popi!”
Pow wow woooo
When I left home with the children sending me off, I felt happy and a heavy responsibility filled my heart even though I wasn’t going to work.
I came out a little earlier than I promised, but in front of the house, Director Lee Seok, and his subordinate I saw last time were already waiting for me.
“Good morning. Mr. Sihyeon.”
“Hi. Have you been waiting all this time? You should have called me.”
“No. It’s fine. We just arrived. Let’s get in.”
Director Lee Seok treated me politely by opening the car door himself.
He is older than me, and I was not used to this kind of treatment in the first place, so I felt very burdened.
There was a breathtaking silence inside as the vehicle started.
Come to think of it, it was okay last time since there was Ryan, but now it was so awkward.
Director Lee Seok also tried to talk first as if he was aware of the atmosphere.
“Do you have any questions about the Institute we’re visiting now? If you want, I can give you a brief explanation.”
“Oh, yeah, well…then…”
I didn’t really think about it much.
Still, I forced myself to think of questions in response to the sincerity of the other person who tried to talk.
“Why does the Director of the Research Institute want to see me?”
“Maybe it’s because he wants to thank you. They were having a hard time at the institute because of the lack of Demon stones. I heard that the situation has improved thanks to you.”
“I didn’t just give it to them, I just sold it for money.”
“As I explained last time, it’s not something you can get just because you have money. From the Research director’s point of view, he must have felt like he had met an oasis in the desert.”
It seems like Demon Stones are really precious resources.
I just sold it, but I can’t believe I’m even getting thanked for it.
I still can’t believe that I have the right to trade such precious goods.
One hour by car.
The lab building began to be seen in the distance.
Nuclear Mana Research Institute.
“Mr. Sihyeon, there’s one thing that I forgot to tell you. Only the head of the institute knows that Sihyeon provided the Demon stones. Other employees would have just been told that an investor will be visiting.”
“Investor?”
I was confused by the unexpected situation.
If I knew this was the occasion, I would’ve dressed up formally.
Director Lee Seok, who read my expression, relieved me with a light smile.
“You don’t have to worry too much. You can just relax and think that you’re on a field trip.”
“Um….Okay.”
“I think we’re here. Let’s get off together.”
As soon as we got off, a middle-aged man waiting at the entrance approached us quickly.
“It’s been a while since I saw you Director Lee Seok. How have you been?”
“I’ve always been the same. It looks like the head of the Research Institute seems to be having a great time. You look amazing today.”
“Hahaha! You recognized it right away. We can’t greet you with a dirty look like we usually do when you have brought a precious guest.”
The two greeted each other in a friendly manner.
“Let me introduce you to the important guest first. This is Mr. Lim Sihyeon, whom I told you about last time. And Mr. Sihyeon, this is Heo Yung, the Director of the Nuclear Mana Research Institute.”
White hair and thick horn-rimmed glasses.
He was a person with sparkling eyes.
“Hello, I’m Lim Sihyeon.”
“Oh! Nice to meet you. I’m Heo Yung. I’m surprised, you are much younger than I thought.”

He held my hand tightly and led me straight to the entrance of the Institute.
“Let’s go in. There’s a lot of things that I want to talk to you about.”
“Uh…uh?”
I looked at Director Lee Seok, puzzled by the head of the Institute’s overly aggressive attitude.
Director Lee Seok smiled leisurely as if he knew this would happen.
