Chapter Index

    A box of grade A peaches.

    A set of 9 S-grade peaches.

    After filling up the number of peaches for my wife and I, we moved on to get the next target, strawberries, for Sohyun.

    “Hehe…♡”

    Jisoo, who was imagining something, was still holding the peach in her hand, and a faint smile was still on her face.

    The problem is that Winter is smiling the same way while looking at the peach in my hand.

    I’m so upset, but this guy doesn’t even notice. Are you laughing?

    “Hey, pay attention.”

    “Yes…? What do you mean…?”

    what? Even if I point it out to you, you still don’t know?

    Is it because we have been receiving these signals as part of our daily lives since childhood?

    It feels a little weird.

    ‘jisoo!’

    I whispered softly in my ear,

    Winter opened her eyes wide in surprise, but her expression soon darkened.

    “Yes?? Are you Jisoo…?”

    “Okay.”

    He seemed to have finally realized it, but he didn’t seem very at ease.

    Unlike me, he is single-minded.

    A man refuses to accept any woman who comes to him.

    I’m not saying you should have eight wives like me, but I have absolutely no desire to advocate monogamy in today’s world.

    Excluding those with abilities, most of those who go into battle are men.

    Dying is also a man.

    Even if the sex ratio at birth is 50:50, the number of women ends up being surplus.

    Nana Winter, who can be said to be the representative of men, must take the lead and advocate for polygamy!

    Only then can a healthy national culture be established in the future!

    “Hmm, winter.”

    “Yes…!”

    Winter responded to my rather serious voice by tightening her eyes.

    I continued the story with my hand on his shoulder, hoping that he would understand my thoughts about my brother-in-law.

    “I mean… I think that good men inevitably attract a lot of women.”

    “Is that so? Isn’t it natural?”

    When the handsome guy said it was obvious, I got angry for a moment… .

    Because I’m doing better now!

    I cleared my throat and continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

    “People often mistakenly think that if they love only one woman, they are pouring all their love into that one woman. So did monogamous married couples love each other passionately? Isn’t it?”

    Winter nods quietly as well.

    It seems that he was also greedy.

    “In the end, the feeling of love grows as you cherish that person, so I don’t think it has anything to do with the number of people.”

    “Are you like that too?!”

    A voice that has become brighter.

    Winter continued speaking with a bright expression, as if her concerns had been resolved.

    “I feel a little sorry for my sister, but… I felt a little relieved to hear that my brother thought that way.”

    “Really?”

    “Jisoo’s sister! He is a really nice person.”

    “Yes, yes!”

    Yeoreum doesn’t really like a girl named Hayun…?

    I think Yeoreum would like it even more if Gyeorae said she was dating Jisoo.

    “Good luck!”

    When I patted his shoulder and cheered him on, his blank expression returned.

    “Yes..? Well… could you possibly connect me with Jisoo-nim…”

    “Yes. Do your best.”

    Winter turned pale at my answer and waved her hands, but just then the truck stopped.

    “Arrived!!!”

    After ordering the troops to disembark, he left the security guard in charge of the company and headed to the warehouse with Gyeorae and Jisoo.

    Quiet with no crowds.

    Seeing as the lock was firmly attached, it seemed like it hadn’t been ripped off.

    Jisoo must have thought the same, and said with a sigh of relief.

    “I don’t think anyone has touched it yet.”

    “Thank goodness.”

    “There, get the cutter!!!”

    When I open the warehouse door, the door pops off along with the lock.

    “…That’s it!!!”

    “…Yes!”

    Why is this such a big deal?…

    “Let’s go in.”

    There is one sorting machine that can package fruit by size.

    It looks like it was supposed to be for sale… but something rotten gives off a bad smell.

    “It’s all rotten….”

    When it seemed difficult to expect edible food, let alone strawberries, Jisoo pointed to the freezer in a bright voice.

    “Well, the freezer would be different though..!!!”

    “Maybe…?”

    I opened the door with high expectations, but… .

    Unfortunately, the freezer could not withstand the test for a long time and had completely rotted away.

    “…I’m bored.”

    “Ah….”

    When only sighs flow out, winter calls me.

    “Brother!!! Let’s take a look at this?!”

    “Huh? What do you have?!”

    “Yes!!!! It’s awesome!!!”

    When I heard that it was a big hit, I rushed out and found Gyeongweor tapping on a machine that looked like a safe.

    “As expected, didn’t I do some amazing research~? Clear in one shot!”

    “What is that?”

    I thought it was a machine like an oven used in a factory, but there was a reason why Winter held her head stiffly.

    “It’s a freeze drying machine!”

    “Freeze-dried?”

    As I tilted my head at the slightly unfamiliar name, Winter rummaged through the box next to the machine and handed me a basket of dried strawberries.

    Something that looks dry and crumbly doesn’t look very appetizing.

    “… Doesn’t it look delicious?”

    “Well… But isn’t a strawberry a strawberry…?”

    “What… right?”

    When I open the plastic container and take out a strawberry and eat it, it has a rough texture and a crumbly texture.

    It even feels sour rather than sweet.

    “… Not much.”

    “Ha.Ha.Ha….”

    Winter scratches the back of its head, perhaps feeling embarrassed for having stretched out so much.

    “Once you have the assortment, you will be satisfied. Next time, let’s rob the supermarket.”

    “Yes..! Let’s find out.”

    From the beginning, I expected that it would be difficult to get both at once.

    Even if it was dried, where did it come from?

    “Put it in the car, let’s go back.”

    “Yes! I’ll bring the kids.”

    As soon as Gyeoreum leaves the warehouse to fetch his men, Jisoo suddenly grabs me by the end of my clothes.

    “I… have something to tell you…!”

    “Huh? What to say?”

    Do you have any love advice?

    Although it’s not as strong as Baekhwa’s, Jisoo’s senses are quite sensitive, so she must have heard everything that Gyeoreum and I were whispering about.

    “That… So… That…”

    “Speak comfortably.”

    Wrinkle.

    Jisoo, who had been pondering for a while, turned bright red and held out a peach to me.

    “W…here!!!”

    peach.

    So… it’s the peach I asked if I would give it to someone I was interested in.

    “…me?”

    “Yes…….”

    After hearing Jisoo’s serious answer, all the memories quickly pass by.

    I was the one who rescued Jisoo from slavery.

    I am also the one who gave him back a new life with new abilities.

    I was the one who said it was okay to have confidence.

    hmm….

    It’s worth falling in love with.

    “….that.”

    “… It’s okay!”

    Before I could even reply, he cut me off and started mumbling to himself.

    “I’m not being presumptuous in asking for a seat next to you, but I’m just saying… I’m sorry.”

    “I’m feeling emotional today…”

    I didn’t even properly refuse, but he’s already cut me off like a knife, so I’m just listening quietly, and he comes to his own conclusion and looks at me.

    “Please just eat it… I worked hard to find it.”

    “…Okay.”

    I want to feed delicious food to the person I like.

    I guess it’s similar to how I want to give something delicious to Yeoreum or Sohyun.

    Thank you.

    “Now, wait a minute.”

    As I was about to take a bite, he snatched the peach and poured water from the canteen to clean it.

    He wiped it with the tank top under his military uniform, then washed it again with water from the canteen, probably thinking he had sweated, and then wiped it clean with a handkerchief.

    “Okay, that’s okay.”

    “Are you coming?”

    Jisoo’s gaze, which had been following me with her eyes fixed on the peach, was straight towards my mouth.

    Take a big bite.

    I took a big bite of the peach and ate it.

    The juice that bursts out overflows and flows down the corner of the mouth, and as he cleans it up by licking the juice with his tongue, Jisoo’s uvula gurgles loudly.

    Gulp-

    “…Ugh.”

    “Huh?”

    It’s clear that he heard correctly, but when I ask him lightly to prevent Jisoo from being humiliated, he shakes his head and shakes off his strange thoughts.

    “Oh, no!!! Yes, I hope you enjoy it…”

    “Oh, it’s delicious. You should try it too.”

    “…Me too?”

    Jisoo handed him the peach again with the big mouth mark on it, and Jisoo took another bite at that spot.

    “Isn’t it delicious?”

    “…Yes.”

    What is that little peach? He clutches it tightly and nibbles it like a hamster.

    The moment I look at Jisoo’s eyes while blatantly looking at her body, the eyes that were looking at me quickly hide.

    “Oh….”

    Subtly rubbing my thighs.

    “It sounds delicious.”

    “Yes…yes?!”

    I burst into laughter at the tongue-twisting answer.

    I know you’re older than me, right…?

    Some behavior is similar to that of a teenage girl.

    “Peach.”

    “Ah… see, peach…! Would you like some?”

    “That’s it. I want to eat it later.”

    “Hi…!”

    I flinch again at the mention of picking on him.

    I didn’t think much of it, but seeing that reaction made me a little moved.

    I think they’ll make fun of it and play with it…?

    Do you want to eat it?

    Well, if you look at what I said, I don’t think you’ll be begging me to marry you.

    Okay, I’ll tease you as much as I can and then eat it.

    “Shall I go back?”

    “…Yes!”

    Hearing my voice brighten up a bit made me feel better and a bright smile appeared on my face.

    As I put my hand on my shoulder and walk out, a soldier on guard duty comes running up from afar, out of breath.

    “Ha…Hansung!!!”

    I focused my senses on the rather urgent voice and checked the surrounding situation, but there was nothing.

    “What?!”

    He asked back a little in annoyance, but the soldier managed to catch his breath and shout loudly again.

    “Chu, they say you are giving birth!!!”

    “What?!!!!!!!!”

    “I think you’re going to give birth..!!!”

    what…?!!!

    Even after hearing it twice, my mind went blank and refused to think.

    Uh…what should I do?!
