Ch.111My Grandchild Is Too Skinny

“Sophia seems to like me…”

“Wh… what, what?!”

“Since I’m adopted, I’m family to Sophia, so my feelings are complicated.”

“Uh… is this perhaps some kind of romantic consultation?”

“Yes, that’s right! Cheran, you’re older than me, so don’t you know a lot about this kind of thing?”

Sitting by the window of a scenic cafe, she bought each of the three people their preferred drinks.

Especially for Shinwoo, she bought a sweet caramel macchiato to help him relax, and then Cheran heard about the troubling concern he’d been struggling with so much.

However, when she realized that this concern was none other than a ‘romantic problem’ that she herself had never experienced, cold sweat began beading on her forehead.

“Uh, hmm… I see… well…”

“I thought of Sophia as just precious family. But as a Beast Hunter, it seems I was the destined partner that Sophia chose.”

“…! Destined partner…”

Like the saying that even straw sandals have their match, for Beast Hunters there’s supposedly only one destined partner who appears in their lifetime.

If Shinwoo was truly that person for Sophia, then Sophia definitely wouldn’t let Shinwoo go with some excuse about being family.

‘If they’re adopted family, wouldn’t it be fine for them to date? …No, this isn’t something an outsider like me should casually comment on.’

This was ultimately something Shinwoo had to decide.

Cheran thought this was the type of issue that would only cause trouble if you moved based on other people’s words.

However, if she were to give ‘advice’ to a man who couldn’t figure anything out.

“Shinwoo.”

“Ah, yes. Cheran.”

“Sophia will respect your decision no matter what choice you make.”

“…!”

“However, she’ll do so while hiding her own feelings. That’s because to Sophia, you’re her ‘destined partner’ who must never become unhappy, right?”

“That’s… right…”

Cheran told him it would be better to reach a definitive conclusion about this matter.

These types of problems usually got worse and more tangled as time passed.

She spoke as if hoping the two of them wouldn’t end up that way.

“Brother, but you know what.”

“Yeah?”

“Even if you marry her, you’d just go from family to family, right? It’s the same situation, so what’s there to worry about?”

“Well… that’s…”

“Human! If a mating partner has appeared, mate quickly! Reproduce strong offspring!”

“There’s nothing this kid won’t say!”

Thwack!

Had she seen something strange somewhere?

Just as Lia firmly flicked Eve’s head for suddenly cheering in a different way.

Wee-oo-wee-oo-wee-oo-wee-oo-wee-oo-!

“Ow?!”

“Huh?”

“What?!”

Suddenly a loud siren sound came from Cheran’s back pocket.

And Cheran, who knew the meaning of this signal better than anyone, immediately decided to reluctantly put aside their tea time for now.

“It’s an emergency call from the Association.”

“An emergency call?”

“Yes. I’m sorry, but I’ll have to go now.”

She decided to get up from her seat along with Eve, who was going “Hmph…” with a bump on her head, and leave first.

“Then I’ll see you again next time. Shinwoo.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you for today. Cheran.”

“No… I honestly wasn’t confident since I haven’t experienced romance either, so…”

“…? What did you say?”

“Ah, nothing! Then let’s meet again next time!”

***

The place Yoo Cheran went to after receiving the emergency call was none other than the top floor of the Korea Hunter Association.

“Branch Manager. This is Yoo Cheran. I’ll go in now.”

“Ah, yes. Please come in. Yoo Cheran.”

It was the room where Branch Manager Lee Jin-ah stayed.

However, Cheran, who entered after receiving permission, was momentarily dumbfounded seeing the people currently gathered in the room.

That’s because none of them were ordinary people.

“Ah, Cheran. Hello.”

“Sophia?! Were you called here with me?”

“It seems that way.”

Starting with Sophia, who had just been the subject of Shinwoo’s romantic consultation.

“Cheran’s here?”

“Master?”

Sophia’s mother, the National Authority-Level Hunter, Rolling.

And.

“The Russian Immortal?!”

“Hello~.”

Lorensky, who was leisurely waving his hand despite being a criminal, and a blonde boy standing right next to Lee Jin-ah.

“Who?”

“Yoo Cheran… auntie… it’s nice to meet you again like this.”

“Ah, auntie?! I’m still in my late twenties!”

Yoo Cheran, seeing Jaewon for the first time, reacted that it was rude for a boy to call her auntie from their first meeting.

But before she could appeal her youthful charm in her twenties.

“Well, now that everyone who needs to gather is here, shall we move on to the main topic?”

Lee Jin-ah began speaking while looking around at the four people nearby.

“First, if there’s news to tell you, North Korea has currently been destroyed.”

“Wh… what?!”

“North Korea was destroyed?”

“North Korea! I knew it would be done for someday… They should have reformed and opened up…”

The sudden destruction of North Korea.

Everyone in the branch manager’s office was surprised by the news that South Korea’s only enemy nation had disappeared overnight.

However, the truly surprising fact was…

“For reference, North Korea was destroyed by monsters.”

“Monsters?”

“No, did a monster appear that could annihilate a nation with nuclear weapons overnight?”

“Well… how should I put this.”

“Teacher, I’ll explain from here.”

North Korea was destroyed not by humans but by monsters.

After this statement, Han Jaewon, who was standing nearby, continued the explanation in place of Lee Jin-ah, who was having difficulty explaining.

“The monsters that currently appeared in North Korea and caused national overthrow at once are these four.”

“What is this…?”

“Photos?”

Han Jaewon showed photos to the four people in front of him while explaining.

There were respectively,

A girl who looked like a delinquent student with shark teeth and a woman in a smart military uniform like a Commander Hunter.

A man with refreshing smile and green-gold hair, and lastly a man who seemed to be half black and half white.

“Exactly yesterday at dawn, there was a reaction that monsters appeared near Pyongyang, North Korea.”

“So, those are these human… no, these humanoid monsters captured here?”

“No, these guys were photographed an hour ago. They’re the ones who defeated the National Disaster-Level monster that appeared in Pyongyang yesterday dawn.”

“…!!”

“Just four of them defeated a National Disaster-Level monster?”

“It’s like seeing my younger days…”

Whether it was simple coincidence.

Humanoid monsters that happened to appear in Pyongyang, North Korea, which was cornered by a National Disaster-Level monster, defeated that monster and simultaneously defeated the people who were shouting hurray.

And an emergency assembly was called due to the movements of these guys who were boldly walking toward the 38th parallel, the border between North Korea and South Korea.

“What exactly are these four humanoid monsters?”

Yoo Cheran asked in a slightly tense voice, seeing the appearance of the rare humanoid monsters even wearing outfits.

Then came shocking news.

“They’re Han Shinwoo’s children.”

“…What?”

“Whose… children?”

Rolling also wondered what this was about and listened carefully.

“I don’t know about the other three, but I know this one mixed with white and black. This guy is the Empire’s first prince born between Han Shinwoo and Second Empress Lia. Han Leon.”

Han Jaewon spoke about the future without hesitation.

“…Lia? She’s our daughter’s summoned monster, isn’t she?”

“Ah, Mom. That’s…”

“Come to think of it, Jin-ah. Who is this child? Is he a newly recruited Hunter?”

“That’s right, he’s been in such an important position since a while ago, but who exactly is he?”

The two people who were meeting Han Jaewon for the first time naturally asked about the identity of the blonde boy in front of them.

“Jaewon, it’s one thing if Cheran doesn’t know, but you haven’t revealed your identity to Rolling yet?”

“Well… it’s one thing if it’s mother, but the ‘grandmother’ side is too unfamiliar…”

“Grandmother?”

The boy in front of her who seemed to be calling herself, who was only in her forties, grandmother.

When Rolling looked toward Sophia wondering what was going on.

“Ahem, uh, Mom. Well, don’t be surprised and listen first. Okay?”

“Huh? Oh, okay. Let me listen first.”

“This kid in front of us, I mean Jaewon, is the son born between me and Shinwoo.”

“Yeah, I see… Yeah? Wh, what?! What?!”

“Ah, son?! B, but he’s too big?! How? …What?!”

Eventually, at the shocking news, both people’s mouths fell open.

Of course, believing it right away was nonsense, so continuing with the main point…

“Oh my! Oh my oh my oh my! Then you’re my grandson?”

“What? Ah, yes. Well, that’s how it would be genealogically.”

“Oh my, how handsome you are! You grew up well! Right, you came from the future, so there must have been something big! Right?”

“What? Ah, that’s right. That’s why I came to the past…”

“But why are you so thin!”

“Thin? Me…?”

“Yes! I want to feed you something first. Hey, Jin-ah. This story seems like it’ll be long, so order something first!”

“Huh? Ah, should we?”

“I’ll have vodka!”

Let’s get to the main point…

“You two finally did it!”

“Hehe… But Mom, they say the future can always change…”

“Oh no! Sophia. You can’t think like that from the start! Women should always be bold and approach men first! If you become passive like that, you’ll just look like a jealous, spiteful woman! So don’t even think negative thoughts, okay!”

“Ah, okay! I understand, Mom.”

We need to talk about the main point…

“Uh, excuse me…”

“Yes, our grandson! What, do you have something you want to say to Grandmother?”

“Grandson…! A, ahem! Th, that’s not it. First, about Han Shinwoo’s other children…”

“Geez! Anyway, that Shinwoo guy is too bad with women! How can he make so many children? This needs to be fixed.”

“Yeah! I agree with that too, Mom!”

…Well, giving up for now.

Han Jaewon, who was already being patted by both Rolling and Sophia from both sides, thought that retreat was also part of strategy.

“…I’m hungry, let’s eat first. Grandmother and Mother.”

“Right! Our grandson is too skinny~!”

“Son. What do you want to eat?”

While going along with this rhythm for now.

“Hawawawa…!”

The romantic consultation from just before was practically already resolved.

And at the news that Shinwoo had at least five children in the future.

“Shinwoo… you’re too virile…!”

The late-twenties virgin Yoo Cheran could only stammer and blush.
