chapter 493
493 – Later story) Somi’s Taste
After Somi’s birth, I was really busy.
They were definitely peaceful days, but
I was busier than when I was a worker.
As expected, I was no longer single.
Every day, I felt with my whole body that a family had been born.
Together with Sophia, I looked after Somi every day.
So, I stayed by my family’s side all day.
Tiredness was the father’s fate,
Just looking at Somi’s face made me quickly recover from my fatigue.
Somi’s growth rate was really fast.
Is it because the blood of the dragon race is mixed?
It grew steadily day by day.
Like spring flowers that grow and sprout new buds every day.
That’s why infancy wasn’t that long.
It grew significantly in the blink of an eye.
It was almost three months since he was able to walk.
And now, more than three months later… … .
As you can see, even polymorph was possible.
Deep, black eyes that resemble me.
Brilliant blonde hair that resembles Sophia.
Even if it is only half a year old, it is in a state of development that is difficult to see.
Although it was not visible now because it was covered by clothes, small wings and a tail were also sprouting from its back. On the other hand, there were no horns visible at all.
Anyway, Somi was so pretty and cute that I couldn’t believe she was my child. As you can see, Somi has really grown up a lot.
In human terms, he looked to be about 5-6 years old.
I really didn’t know that Hechling’s polymorph would be this fast.
At first, I thought Somi was special.
I thought it was because of the mixture of human blood.
But this is an extremely natural phenomenon.
Just like a human child taking steps.
According to Schnelia, it was like an instinctive action to reduce extreme magical power consumption.
Of course, it was still difficult to maintain the human form, so it would occasionally return to its original form.
Oh, and this wasn’t the only growth Somi had.
“Aboo… … . Hee hee, Jo!”
Now, even simple communication was possible to some extent. If it were an ordinary human child, it would not have been able to babble and walk yet.
Somi was that special. Moreover, he was smart enough to choose his own name as soon as he was born.
According to Schnellia, he grew up physically and mentally much faster than other Hechlings his age.
After all, it’s been half a year since I cracked the egg and was born… … .
“… But dad? that! cute… … ! very!”
He had very accurate pronunciation.
He calls me dad repeatedly.
I really couldn’t help but feel amazed.
Should I say that I finally feel a little more real about becoming a father?
Even now, Somi is skillfully expressing her opinions by combining short words.
“… Me too! I want to hug you… … !”
Somi stretches out her hand pointing into the air.
By clearly indicating what you want.
It wasn’t long before we stopped talking,
Aside from that, he was very fluent in expressing his thoughts.
“Somi? “Do you want to touch that?”
“huh-! It’s so cute… … !!!”
“Huh, White Dragon? “Can you come here for a moment?”
「Nyo, nyororong… ?」
What Somi was pointing at was none other than Baekryong.
The ghosts seem curious and seem interested.
In Somi’s eyes, it must have looked like a cute, living doll.
Somi’s eyes, which were looking at Baekryong, were black, but they were overflowing with firearms.
“Kyaa-♪ Soft, soft..! Four Thin Four Thin Hat… … !”
“Nyo, nyonyonyot-!?”
ㅡJjuuuk… !
Somi laughs, pulling Baekryong’s cheeks, which are as soft as glutinous rice cakes.
Like a child playing with the once popular liquid monster or slime.
“White dragon? “It looks like you like it?”
「Nonyot-?! Nyororong… … ?」
Baekryong is being crushed like dough in Somi’s small hands. The guy makes noises as if he is embarrassed. Urgently crying out for help.
“Hehehe..! Bagnon? Bagnon is great! I’m going to turn off Somi… … !”
But Baekryong couldn’t escape.
Somi hugs him with all her might.
That’s probably why I liked Baekryong.
He held Baekryong, who was as big as his body, in his arms like a doll and did not let him go.
“Kyaha-♪ Ham bokeh… !”
And then he lets out a happy smile.
“Nyo, Nyorong… ?! Nyororong… … !」
Baekryong, embarrassed by this, looks at me and asks for help again. Please save yourself quickly.
Of course, if she wanted to, she could have turned her body invisible and escaped, but she just cried pitifully as she watched me.
“… Oh my, Somi? Let me go quickly! “Father and Baekryong are in trouble, aren’t they?”
“Whoa..? “Uh, Mom?”
A woman’s voice was heard at that time.
“Oh, Sophia? Why did you come down already? “It’s okay if I rest a little longer.”
“Hehe, I thought it would be difficult to take care of Somi while making dessert. And it’s natural for a mother to take care of her child, right?”
Sophia, who came down from the second floor, approaches Somi and smiles.
It was like that.
I was currently making dessert.
To keep my promise to Sophia that I would make her a mint dessert once a month.
Our family was currently gathered in the common room.
To serve something delicious to my family.
So, I was showing off my skills after a long time.
Somi said she wanted to be with me,
He said he was curious about how I cook,
Instead of staying by Sophia’s side, she followed me downstairs.
“Hey, Somi? Should we leave Baekryong alone for a while?”
“Ugh..?! Bae, Bagnon! Bye bye bye bye bye bye… … !!”
Somi throws a tantrum because she is afraid that she is still a baby.
He holds Baekryong tightly and shakes his head.
Does it look like he doesn’t want his pet doll taken away?
“For Dad’s sake, let’s just let him go for a little while? “You’ll be able to play with White Dragon again soon.”
“Oh? Still so sad..! Bagnon is Somi… … !”
“Somi? Well, then how about the other ghosts? Or should Mom make you a doll?”
“Use what you need!” Bagnon..! Bagnon… … !”
“ha… … .”
Sophia looks embarrassed.
Somi gets angry and grabs Baekryong.
With an expression that says he never wants to let you go.
Well, it’s time to get really angry. Now that it is possible to express one’s thoughts, it is probably a time when one’s sense of self is slowly being formed.
“Phew.”
But even this outburst just seemed cute to me.
“Somi is going to play with Bagnon… !”
“Somi? It only takes a moment. And when Dad finishes everything, will Baekryong sing again? Right, honey… … ?”
Sophia finally asks me for help.
With a look in his eyes telling him to comfort Somi.
She, who seemed to maintain a stern face in front of the demon dragon, becomes helpless in front of her daughter.
“Yes, Somi? Will the white dragon let go for a moment and play with the other ghosts? Then, Dad will make something delicious right away. got it?”
“Huh… … . “Really?”
“huh! Our Somi is nice, right? “If you listen carefully, I will let you have fun with White Dragon later.”
“Umm… … . yes-! “Alas!”
Somi finally nods to my negotiation.
His eyes twinkled as if he had never done that before.
He quickly let go of Baekryong and was staring intently at him.
“White dragon? I’m sorry, but I’ll have to go through some trouble later. “In return, I will skip all other work.”
「Nyo, nyororong… … ?」
In response, this guy drops his translucent body like an aspen tree.
Poor guy. Even though many successors have been appointed, it still seems like a long time ago.
“Whoa, really, who do you resemble so much that you listen to your dad?” … . “Does this make Mom sad?”
“What is Seowoonae-?”
“Hmm, is this similar to the feeling I felt when Somi fell out with Baekryong?”
“Wow..? Mom Seowoonae? Why… … ?”
“Hehe, come here first. “Dad, you have to concentrate now.”
At this, Sophia sighs and leaves with Somi in her arms. Leaving me a wink to say thank you.
‘… Okay, then shall we start again?’
I rolled up my sleeves again.
To finish the dessert quickly.
The mint dessert I’m making right now is ordinary yet special.
That’s because I was making again the mint chocolate chip cake that I had made for Sophia for the first time.
A dessert filled with old memories.
If I had gotten help from the ghosts, I could have made it without getting a drop of water on my hands, but even then, the covenant I made with Sophia would not be fulfilled.
Because I swore I would make it myself.
The ghosts just help prepare the ingredients.
I was slowly recalling old memories and completing the cake.
“Hehe, it’s almost done.”
Now, only the finishing touches remained.
ㅡSparring… !
Finish by smoothing the surface and sprinkling extra chocolate chips on top.
… … .
‘Tsk, there’s something missing because system messages don’t pop up like before, right?’
In a way, it was natural. Derke, who had been running the system in the past, was now sealing the Demon Dragon’s core within the tower.
“… done. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t taste the same as before. “Let’s take it up quickly.”
*
After finishing the cake, I went straight up to the second floor where Sophia and Somi were waiting.
-Rattle!
Then he opened the silver cover and revealed today’s dessert to everyone.
“Oh, honey? This was back then… … ?”
“Haha, I remember you too.”
“Wow..! Very pretty color-?!”
Judging by their reactions, I think I passed.
Above all, who would have thought that Somi would even like it?
Of course, it’s too early to make any hasty conclusions until we get a taste of it.
“Now, Somi? Would you like to try it too?”
ㅡUgh… !
I cut the cake into a fan shape and served it to each person. A piece each on the plate in front of Sophia and Somi.
“Yep… ! “Did your dad really make this?”
“Well, of course.”
“Wow..! “My dad, Mercy!”
Somi praises the mint cream on the outside of the cake.
That’s because Somi didn’t know the taste of mint yet. Until just a few weeks ago, I only ate baby food.
“Huh, honey? It’ll be okay… … ?”
At this, Sophia suddenly looks anxious.
Although she loved mint more than anyone else,
I guess I was worried about recommending it to my daughter.
Because it was a dessert that most people disliked.
Why didn’t Diora faint after eating this before?
“are you okay. Somi, she’s your daughter, right? Do you know anything? “Maybe he really likes it?”
“Yeah, but… … .”
“dad? “I’ll use it well!”
ㅡSlap!
“Huh? So.. Somi?!”
It was then.
He picks up the cake without any time to stop him.
And boldly, with bare hands.
It was a tasting method like that of a child who doesn’t know anything yet.
“ ─Ha! Omulmulmul… … !”
“”… … .””
Sofia and I had no choice but to watch this scene in silence.
-Gulp!
And how much time has passed?
“Haaa… !?”
For a moment, Somi’s movements stop.
Even though there was still cake left in my mouth.
“So, Somi?”
“Are you okay… … ?!”
“Awww…” … .”
Somi, who had been moaning like that for a while, finally… … .
“ Hibb..!?”
“Somi… … ?”
“Ugh, this.. this is so good… … .”
Unlike my mother, I was heading down the path of being anti-people.
