Is This a Novel or Something?…Everyone and Their Dog is Regressing, It’s Fking Ridiculous

Chapter 587



Side Story Chapter 33 – Don’t Just Say You Don’t Want To, Your Body Is Honest.

It was a bit unexpected.

Sounds like an excuse, but this isn’t a sudden notification.

I had previously mentioned it briefly to the kids.

At that time, Yumi and Yeonwoo casually brushed it off.

As if they were completely prepared for the change.

“You said it was fine last time.”

“Well, but not wanting it is still not wanting it!”

“I really didn’t think we’d actually go…”

But now suddenly refusing was a bit awkward.

Of course, kindergarten isn’t absolutely necessary in modern times.

But still, I personally hoped the kids would go.

Before they started elementary school, I wanted them to experience society beforehand.

Above all, so they could acquire proper knowledge.

However, the kids’ attitudes didn’t waver.

Yeonwoo just lowered his head and avoided eye contact.

But Yumi was making a fuss, even plopping down on the ground.

She must have been seriously scared about the changes in her surroundings.

Well, it’s not that I completely don’t understand.

I’m not a fan of rapidly changing situations either.

It’s not like Yumi is that much different from me.

Not everyone can accept change outright.

“I’m not going! I won’t go!!!”

“Yumi, you still have to go to kindergarten.”

Hyeji gently coaxed the tantruming Yumi.

“Mom, do I really have to go to kindergarten? Can’t I skip it?”

“Isn’t it great to explore new places?”

“That’s right! You can have fun and amazing experiences!”

Elcia backed up Hyeji’s statement.

“Then let the moms go first.”

“Where in this world has mom not been?”

“I’ve been everywhere, and that’s why I say this!”

Both of them, slightly apologetic, smiled confidently as if to say not to worry too much.

“The kitchen.”

“……”

“……That’s kind of painful…?”

Of course, Yumi’s innocent yet sharp words shattered their laughter.

Meanwhile, Yeonwoo’s attitude was also pretty stubborn.

Compared to Yumi, it wasn’t as severe.

But still, it was quite persistent compared to how he usually is.

“Mom, can’t you think about it just once more? Why do we have to go?”

“Yeonwoo, everyone is a raw gem with potential.”

Caressy started explaining slowly while making eye contact with Yeonwoo.

“What does that mean?”

“A gem is just a stone if it’s not polished, but only through constant polishing can it become a jewel.”

It’s a metaphor any child could understand.

Just like gems, people must be honed and polished.

To awaken the infinite potential sleeping within a person.

Education is an essential and unavoidable process one must go through.

Only then can they shine brilliantly.

“That’s strange. You said everyone is a gem.”

“What do you mean?”

Yeonwoo’s thoughts seemed a bit different.

“Eyes, hearts, livers, kidneys. If you divide it up by parts, they’re gems.”

“……”

Not a little, but a lot.

“Right, Mom?”

[Ah, f*ck.]

Turns out, it wasn’t just Yeonwoo’s thoughts.

I wondered if that succubus did something again, but this time, someone else had an impact.

And that someone was extremely close.

[No, let go! That’s not wrong, is it!?]

“Then I’ll help you polish yourself into a gem.”

Thanks to that, Caressy grabbed Piece’s hair and dragged her to another room.

Meanwhile, Yumi seemed to have no intention of going to kindergarten.

She not only plopped down but also lay down flat, spouting incomprehensible words.

“That’s unfair! Mom and Dad just play all the time!”

“Yumi, where do you see us just playing?”

That doesn’t make sense.

No matter how much it seemed that we weren’t doing anything,
we were faithfully living our lives.

Especially Ayeon, who runs a business, could use more explanation.

Honestly, it was just a kid’s unreasonable complaint.

“Mom, you and Dad go into the room and play while clapping every night!”

“Um…”

“I also want to play! Why is it that only Mom and Dad get to have fun?”

It was not just unreasonable; it was a perfectly justified conclusion drawn from observation.

When the kids were young, we were so busy that we hardly noticed.

But as soon as we had some leisure, we got squeezed dry again.

It turns out the saying that you have to be careful even when drinking water is right when you have kids.

At the shocking statement, Ayeon was left speechless.

Just then, Yeonwoo approached Yumi and quietly spoke.

Even if she didn’t want to, it was time to correct the facts.

“Yumi, that’s not playing…”

“Even you, Yeonwoo!?”

Yumi felt a huge sense of betrayal from Yeonwoo’s whisper.

“I heard Dad’s voice saying he was crying for help from the room.”

“Ah.”

Upon hearing the continuation, Yumi let out a sigh of realization.

Soon after, she slowly walked towards me.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she started looking up at me.

Like a wounded animal.

“Dad, are you okay?”

“……I’m still… okay…”

Was my appearance so pathetic and pitiful?

“I’m sorry for throwing a fit… I’ll go to kindergarten, so cheer up…”

“Dad, I’ll go too… so please don’t die…”

“……Thank you, kids.”

Finally, Yumi and Yeonwoo backed down from their stubbornness.

Though things went a bit strangely rather than as intended.

I didn’t think it was such a bad thing.

Since in the end, the kids said they would go to kindergarten.

After that, noticeable changes appeared in the children’s behavior.

At first, they had opposed it fiercely, but now that they were actually going, perhaps they were getting excited?

They couldn’t hide their joyful expressions and started preparing thoroughly in their own ways.

In Yumi’s case, she was listening intently to the precautions for making new friends.

“Yumi, what if a friend misunderstands you for stealing their stuff?”

“I just need to clear the misunderstanding, Mom!”

“That’s right! How do you clear it?”

Seeing Yumi’s eyes light up, it seemed she had no more hesitation or fear.

“I just need to take it for real! Right!”

“……Uh…”

And in another sense, there was no hesitation or fear.

[……At least it’s not a misunderstanding.]

‘……You’re just creating a reason.’

Meanwhile, Yeonwoo even prepared a self-introduction.

If it’s Yeonwoo, it had to be quite an adult-like attitude.

Even if Yeonwoo encounters many strangers through business work.

It only ends up as temporary transactional relationships.

In that sense, Yeonwoo’s choice was indeed excellent.

“Mom, can you watch me introduce myself?”

“Of course, Yeonwoo dear! I’ll even film it for you!”

Kindergarten relationships won’t just end up being temporary.

Unless there’s some unavoidable circumstance that leads to leaving suddenly.

It’s a relationship that lasts quite a while until entering elementary school.

In that kind of relationship, making a good impression initially is important.

There’s nothing as important as the first impression in all human relationships.

Just then, Yeonwoo sat decorously on the sofa as if she was about to introduce herself.

Elcia’s eyes sparkled as she waited for Yeonwoo’s introduction.

Recording Yeonwoo’s appearance through the camera she had prepared in advance.

“Hello. My name is Kim Yeonwoo. I’m a kindergartener.”

“That’s my Yeonwoo! How can you speak so clearly?!”

It was indeed a flawless self-introduction.

She seemed a bit nervous, as an awkward smile graced her face.

To hide her embarrassment, she covered her eyes with her hands, but.

With this level of performance, she had successfully fulfilled the purpose of her self-introduction.

“Today, I came because Dad is taking me to a good place.”

“……Yeonwoo dear…?”

Aside from the fact that the scene looked quite seriously odd.

The hand covering her eyes, the awkward smile, and the way she was sitting quietly.

It felt like the beginning of some strange video.

Especially with the camera recording Yeonwoo’s stance even more so.

“Oh, just in time, Dad is looking this way.”

As if she sensed my gaze while covering her eyes.

Yeonwoo raised the corners of her mouth more than before.

With the other hand, she suddenly started drawing Piece.

“What bad thing will happen to Dad today~?”

Finally, Yeonwoo’s short introduction came to an end, but there was no time to praise this cute moment.

I had to identify the perpetrator immediately.

“……Yeonwoo, what was that just now?”

“It’s a self-introduction part from the Papa Katsu game.”

Could it be that the f*cking succubus had something to do with this again?

“Who taught you that?”

“I saw hunters doing it when I worked at the store.”

No, it was a hunter.

Could it be a sign trying to prove they are not human again?

Why on earth would they do such things so openly?

Especially in front of a child.

…Wait a minute…

[What’s wrong?]

‘There were no female hunters coming to Ayeon’s business, right…?’

[Ah, f*ck.]

Just thinking about it was horrifying.

Anyway, I decided to talk to Yeonwoo as nicely as possible.

Yeonwoo’s only mistake was that he copied a hunter.

The true wrongness lies with the existence of hunters themselves.

“You shouldn’t follow things like that…”

“Okay.”

At the same time, I felt I had to quickly send Yumi and Yeonwoo to kindergarten.

No matter how much we teach with sincerity.

If the world behaves like this, education becomes useless.

The saying “Meng Mu’s three thousand education” didn’t come about for nothing.

It’s not like anyone else, but our children must grow up properly.

In the end, I sent the kids to kindergarten earlier than planned for the first time.

As soon as I returned home after parting with the kids, I let out a sigh of relief.

I felt like I had saved the kids from the harsh world in my own way.

At that moment, my phone suddenly rang.

– “Hello, this is the kindergarten. Are you the father of Yumi and Yeonwoo?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

A call from the kindergarten.

How long has it been since I sent the kids that they are suddenly calling?

No, isn’t today just their first day? What could possibly have gone wrong?

Honestly, I was already tired from just sending them, and I wanted a nap.

I could just hang up the phone like this.

– “Could you come to the kindergarten as soon as possible?”

“Do I really have to go now? Just text me, and I’ll check it later.”

However, upon hearing the urgent explanation that followed, I dashed out of the house.

As a parent, I could not ignore this.

Something that anyone would react to.

It was shocking news.
