‘……what?’

Even though a contract was made, there were times when the summoned creature did not show up.

Even when a crow suddenly popped out of nowhere.

Even when Yuna turned into a strange egg and floated in the air.

Do Yu-jin never lost hope for her summons for even a moment after signing the contract.

That would be the case, because even Do Yu-jin, who prides himself on being well-versed in [Circle Academy], was seeing a summoner of the mythical rank for the first time.

‘Even the fact that the identity was revealed late was attractive.’

Usually, when someone makes a late appearance like this, it’s because they often have some kind of incredible ability or something beyond imagination.

That’s why Do Yu-jin sometimes imagined what Yu-na would look like after she had fully awakened.

‘but……’

Glance-

‘In all my imagination, this situation never occurred.’

When Do Yu-jin was absentmindedly thinking about that.

Swish-

Yuna, who had been laughing playfully, grabbed his hand and placed it on her head, then spoke as if she was teasing him or joking.

“Anyway, it’s useless, but instead of just sitting there, you should pat my head like this. I like it.”

“Huh? Oh, okay.”

Do Yu-jin hesitated slightly to answer, but moved her hands faithfully according to her past experience.

Yuna muttered, smiling broadly enough to show her fangs, at the familiar and pleasant sensation of a warm palm running through her hair.

“Huh~ This is something that should be patted on the back before speaking, but anyway, sloppy dad♥”

Where has the fierce yet old-fashioned atmosphere that was first shown gone?

The eyes that used to glow with intellectual light are now turned up and have a playful glow, and the lips that used to be quietly closed in a straight line are slightly open and let out a strangely nerve-wracking laugh.

Here, a fang protrudes slightly between the lips, like a dragon’s point.

‘No, it’s ridiculous that a humanoid summoner would pop out, but why did Messagaki pop out of all of them? Was it wrong to absorb the monster’s thoughts?’

While Do Yu-jin was worrying like that, Yuna dug into Do Yu-jin’s arms with a face that was melting with happiness.

Of course, that didn’t mean my mouth was dry.

“Anyway, Dad is a total idiot who can’t do anything without me.”

“Um, that’s… … ”

“You’re weak, but you’re acting out for no reason… …You’re a weakling who only uses me, his cute and pretty daughter, in dangerous situations♥ You’re a swindler who gets tricked by magic♥”

“That’s true, but… … ”

“Then pat me quickly. Carefully, saying thank you for helping me.”

“Hmm, is that it?”

“Whoa… …Yeah, and you should apologize for leaving me like that.”

“That’s… …sorry?”

“Huh, what’s that? Does our sloppy dad not know how to apologize properly?”

The more they talked, the more confused Do Yu-jin became.

‘What? If you listen carefully to the tone of voice, doesn’t it mean that you were worried about me?’

At first I thought his personality was bad because of the curse, but when I listened closely to what he said, it didn’t seem like that was the case.

His behavior didn’t seem to have changed much from when he was a bird.

Then surely… …

‘Could it be that this kid was just born with this personality?’

Do Yu-jin felt dizzy for a moment, then forced herself to open her mouth.

“But why have you been calling me dad lately?”

“Well, my dad is my dad.”

Do Yu-jin thought about it for a moment.

In this world, black hair is already rare.

In a world like that, what would a girl think if she called a boy who was only about 5 years older than her “dad”?

‘No matter how much I think about it, it seems like I’m the only one making a young kid do that. In the first place, aside from the fact that I have black hair, my appearances are completely different from hers.’

Do Yu-jin glanced at Yu-na, who was hugging him tightly.

It is truly a beautiful sight.

It’s hard to see because her face is buried in her chest, but without any exaggeration, Yuna boasts a beauty that would allow her to rule over a country or two at will if she continued to grow at this rate.

At that moment, Yuna let out a chuckle and said.

“Poohoo, what else is that? Do you really want me to call you master? Pervert daddy?”

“That’s definitely dangerous too.”

Master, that’s usually what summoners call their contractors, but if Yuna were to be called that, she’d be looked at not just as trash, but as waste.

But that doesn’t mean I can just accept the word ‘father’.

-Eugene, Mom is okay. So don’t cry.

-Anyway, how can a man with so many tears write this?

The words family and parents weighed too heavily on him.

While I was thinking about it for a long time.

Kook-

Do Yu-jin felt something and lowered her head.

“… … ”

Then, Do Yu-jin belatedly noticed the two small fists holding him back gaining more strength, and Yu-na’s gaze looking at him shaking slightly.

“… … I can’t call you dad?”

The moment he saw Yuna like that, memories from the past began to unfold in Do Yu-jin’s mind.

-Mom, I wish I had a younger sibling, but how do I get one?

-Son, why are you saying such scary things… …

-Oh my, does our son want a younger sibling?

Do Yu-jin in her memory nodded while looking at her mother smiling kindly and her father sweating coldly.

-If our little brother Eugene listens to mom and goes to bed early, he will suddenly appear at some point.

-No, I can’t say for sure… … Of course. Yeah, it is.

-Is that so?

-Yeah, that’s it.

His mother nodded and gently patted Do Yu-jin’s head, adding a word.

-So if your younger sibling suddenly appears one day, you have to treat them well as the eldest?

Sigh-

‘Why do I remember that time now?’

Do Yu-jin blamed his own foolishness, but he stroked Yu-na’s head in his arms and gently pulled her into his arms.

As kind, gentle, and affectionate as his mother had once treated him.

“Don’t worry, it’s Dad.”

As my parents used to say, family seems to be something that comes out of nowhere, like falling from the sky or rising from the ground.

‘He’s not my brother, he’s my father… … but since there’s only one difference, I guess I should just accept it as a minor error and move on.’

When Do Yu-jin was making that pledge.

Hug-

Yuna hugged Do Yujin tightly and said.

“Hehe, you’re saying that you’ll be my pretty daughter, but you’re just hesitating and you’re a sloppy dad anyway.”

“Um, what… … ”

“Clumsy, sloppy, sloppy dad♥ A sloppy person who can’t even use his body or magic properly♥”

… … What should I say?

Thanks to the slight emotion conveyed through the string of the contract, I could tell that this was Yuna’s own way of being cute.

But, apart from that, I couldn’t help but feel a little strange as I kept hearing things like this.

◎ ◎ ◎

“You sloppy dad! Let’s wander around a little more and then go to bed!”

Did he want to enjoy his new body?

Yuna said that while holding Do Yu-jin’s hand and dragged him into the forest.

Because he understood Yuna’s feelings, Do Yu-jin followed her without much resistance.

Well, it would have been impossible to rebel in the first place.

‘No, you’re already stronger than me even though you were just born. Does that make sense?’

Thinking back, it didn’t make any sense.

While Do Yu-jin is the weakest of the weak, Yuna is a mythical summon whose existence has never been revealed in the game.

At that moment, Yuna, who was looking around the nearby forest, approached Do Yujin lightly and stretched out both her hands towards him.

“What is it?”

“Pick me up.”

“Huh? You want me to carry you?”

“Yeah! Just like you did to the kid who was always with his sloppy dad!”

Do Yu-jin, who noticed who Yuna was talking about, tilted her head for a moment before quietly carrying her on her back.

Although she was wearing a cheongsam, the sides of the skirt were slit open enough to slightly reveal her pelvis, so it was not difficult to carry her.

‘By the way, what’s going on? Is this person wearing their underwear properly?’

Do Yu-jin was very concerned about that part, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask her newborn daughter if she was wearing proper underwear, so she chose to keep her mouth shut.

“Heh, it feels better than I thought. It feels different from when I was carried when I was a bird.”

Yuna stamped her feet in the air in satisfaction.

Looking at her like that, Do Yu-jin smiled but also felt uneasy.

‘Do I have to hug him like this from now on?’

Do Yu-jin briefly imagined a future where she would carry Erio behind her and Yuna in front of her.

My arms were already starting to feel numb and my shadow was shaking.

Whatever.

“Wow!”

Yuna looked around with a very happy face and enjoyed the night breeze.

“This time, over there! I want to go over there!”

“Well, it’s definitely pretty because the moonlight is coming in well.”

Do Yu-jin followed her request and walked through the forest, then changed his trait to [Summoning’s Ultimate (9★)] and brought up Yuna’s status window.
