“Honey, stop crying. What kind of shameful behavior is this in front of the kids?”

“But honey! Look at that miserable woman! Hyukjin… Our Hyukjin… Hehehe!!!!!”

“Ha…”

A man who sheds tears and a woman who struggles to stop him from crying.

I couldn’t help but laugh as I looked at the image as it was before, which wasn’t that surprising and could easily be described as déjà vu.

“Puhup…”

I covered my mouth and held back, but as soon as I started laughing, the water had already spilled.

All eyes were focused on me in an instant, and I immediately bowed my head and asked for forgiveness due to the sudden attention.

“Sorry, sorry!!!”

“No, I even need to apologize. When you see someone for the first time, you can’t help but smile.”

The lady softly comforted me with an embarrassed smile, and then she slapped the guy on the back and growled quietly.

“What kind of shame is this because of you? If you don’t stop right away, I’ll be fighting alone for a month. Got it?”

Pop.

The man smiled at the excellent threat as if he had never cried before. Then he came closer to me and expressed his gratitude over and over again.

“Thank you, I really appreciate it! I don’t know how to repay you for taking away my poor son!”

“No, father. Am I that ugly? It’s a good property to put on the wedding market…”

“You’re so noisy! What’s a good thing about fur or a sucker? Besides, don’t you remember that your marriage path was completely blocked because of all the crazy things you did?”

“…”

Hyukjin is shaking as if he has nothing to say in response.

I was curious about the suspicious reaction and tried to ask a question, but Hyukjin stopped me and spoke first.

“Please stop talking about that for now and just say hello. He was just standing there looking embarrassed.”

“Oops! I’m sorry! I only said what I had to say. Late introduction! Hyukjin is the person who is my father, this is the person who is my wife.”

Only after being pointed out by Hyukjin, the man introduces himself, reducing the tension a little.

I smiled and opened the zipper at the hip of the suit skirt, seeing that it had not changed at all compared to the past.

Rather than not saying anything and making a mess later, it would be better to reveal everything instead of hiding it from the beginning.

Pulling out all my prick ears and nine adorable, soft tails, I bowed my head to the people who would become my in-laws.

“It’s been a while, mister. And the lady.”

“”What?””

“May I introduce Mrs. Kim Hye-yoon’s second daughter, Yoo Seong-ha…? It’s my first time seeing you like this, hehe…”

As I scratched my head in embarrassment, the reactions of the old man and the old woman were sharply different.

As if the uncle already understood, he was applauding Hyukjin and calling him a ‘great bastard’, and the lady.

“For Hyeyun, Seongju must be the only daughter, right?”

As the only normal person, he still couldn’t guess my identity.

If I give you a hint, will you understand? No, it would be better to just say it bluntly, right?

After finishing my thoughts, I approached the thoughtful woman and whispered quietly to her.

“Wouldn’t the name ‘Seonghun’ be more familiar to you than the name ‘Seongha’?”

“!”

When I revealed my identity, the lady looked at me with disbelief.

Then he pointed at me with his finger and asked me in a trembling voice.

“You are Seonghun?”

“Now it’s ‘His Holiness’.”

“…I’m dizzy, I guess I need a detailed explanation.”

The lady, who must have been very confused, placed her forehead with her delicate hand and led us into the house.

“It’s late, so let’s eat first. Your Holiness? Tell your story while eating.”

Fortunately, the reaction does not seem negative yet.

I let out a small sigh of relief and nodded.

“Yes, mother.”

—–

After a lunch that was not a full meal, it was finally time for conversation.

The lady calmly took a sip of her coffee and opened her mouth.

“You’ve been through a lot in a short period of time. From becoming a Heavenly Emperor to defeating the Flower Goddess. It wouldn’t be enough to write it as a novel.”

“Uh… Do you believe all of these absurd stories?”

“It’s not a lie, you have nine furry fox tails right now, and Hyukjin must have guessed well that you were Seonghun.”

“Aren’t you trusting Hyukjin too blindly? I could really be the fox whose memories were stolen.”

I said it jokingly, and the lady responded by putting the cup down on the table.

“If that were the case, Hyukjin would have cut off his head a long time ago. He may be a gentle sheep to you, but not to others. Isn’t it called ‘Raksachal’ in the underworld for no reason?”

Hearing what the lady said, I turned my head and looked at Hyukjin, and he nodded quietly as if he was right.

So do you really mean that you could have died when you first met? As I gently touched goosebumps on my forearms, Hyukjin hugged me and said,

“I recognized him from the very beginning when he was hit in the back of the head with a frying pan. Oh, this is my balls friend, I thought. The longer the fox monster’s tail, the less likely it is to use martial arts.”

Even if I use martial arts, I don’t use a frying pan as a weapon like you do.

As he continued, he fed me an apple.

“Furthermore, stealing memories has its limits. No matter how transcendent a being is, it cannot steal the target’s basic habits and way of thinking. How can you think that you are not the one who praises the fox beast like that?”

“You should have told me a long time ago! At that time, I was really scared because I thought I was being raped!”

Wow!

As I hit him on the back, Hyukjin smiled even more sinisterly and whispered.

“Hmm, if I hadn’t thought of you at that time, wouldn’t I have attacked you right away? Maybe it was like that?”

“Si, it’s noisy! There’s nothing I can’t say in front of my uncle and aunt!”

“No, you start with…”

Wow!

When I slapped him on the back again out of shame, he kept his mouth shut, and he burst out laughing happily for anyone to see.

“Hahaha!!! It’s really nice to see them fooling around! So, when are you two going to get married?”

“Honey? We’ve only been dating for less than a month, isn’t it a little early to get married?”

“Well, it’s okay if we love each other. Do you think they’re easy to break? Are you going to make a soccer team with your kids and make it a hundred years old?”

The lady shook her head as if she couldn’t stop the man’s energetic words, looked at me, and asked a question.

“What do you think, Your Holiness?”

“That’s it…”

I patted my stomach and answered with a shy smile.

“Like you, I think it’s better to do it quickly. There is a reason for that.”

“Cases? What’s the situation?”

The lady tilts her head and expresses doubt.

Instead of answering, I stabbed Hyukjin in the side, and Hyukjin looked at the woman’s gaze and spoke.

“We had an accident, mom.”

“What?”

“Your Holiness, I’m pregnant. Yesterday, I went to see my grandfather and confirmed it clearly.”

If it’s your parents, there’s one thing that can definitely chill the mood: ‘I had an accident.’

The lady who heard that seemed quite embarrassed, so she called a goblin servant and ordered him to immediately bring cold water.

“Bring some cold water, it’s suddenly hot.”

[Yes, ma’am.]

“Ha…”

The lady who drank the cool water brought by the goblin in one go raised her eyes and asked Hyukjin in a voice that barely suppressed her anger.

“How come?”

“…”

“Explain it quickly, son.”

It was the first time I heard the old lady’s sad voice.

When Hyukjin couldn’t answer, wondering if it was his first time, the man tried to calm the woman down.

however.

“Woman, honey? Why are you so angry? Something like that can happen between a man and a woman…”

“You know you have nothing to say, right? What is the difference between what Hyukjin is doing now and what you did in the past? Could it be that you said something strange to Hyukjin without me knowing?”

“I don’t know anything else, but I didn’t tell you to get into an accident, and you really didn’t do it? Don’t look at me like that!”

Rather, I failed and even lost my right to speak, and in the end, I had no choice but to speak first.

What can I say to quell the lady’s anger?

How can I defend Hyukjin’s actions at least a little?

While I was thinking, a good idea occurred to me, and I opened my mouth with a trembling voice.

“Well, I said let’s do it first!”

“That can’t be possible, right? I know Hyukjin better than anyone else.”

“Ji, it’s true! He kept saying he wasn’t going to do it, so I got annoyed so I decided to do it first…”

“…huh.”

The lady held the back of my neck as if the back of my neck was being stretched too hard.

Then, he sighed once more, I don’t know how many times he had already sighed, and covered his face with his hands.

I guess you have a lot to think about.

Well, he came to me without any warning and said, ‘I’m pregnant, so please allow me to marry!’ But one parent said, ‘Sure! Should I say without thinking, ‘When are you going to get married?’

Let’s leave out the man, because he is a person who can never be said to be normal, no matter how good it may be.

The uncomfortable silence that was maintained for a long time was broken as soon as the woman stood up from her seat, and she grabbed my wrist and led me out.

“Follow me.”
