After sitting tensely through the play, their nerves had relaxed—and now they were hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright kids, let’s start with these.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun handed out snacks: boiled eggs and milk. Then, he began preparing lunch about 30 minutes earlier than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Queng, go fetch some slime for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kkuhehehe. Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehehe. Got it, da yo!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Sejun’s request, Queng opened the subspace storage and headed to the slime farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Queng was catching Gold Slimes—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! So much food!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chomp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Munch munch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mulmuli, who had somehow snuck in, was munching on live Gold Slimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng! Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stop, da yo! Mom said if you eat anything alive, you can't be a mom, da yo!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng hurriedly shouted and used telekinesis to pull Mulmuli away from the slime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pink Fur had taught Queng that disasters must never eat anything alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom, then can I eat something if it’s dead, da yo?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuong! Kuong! Kuoong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No! You must always eat it cooked! And only if Dad cooked it!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a disaster dies, its destructive energy quickly dissipates, and its corpse retains almost no such energy. Once cooked with fire, it disappears completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Pink Fur, with a traumatic history involving disasters, would tolerate not even a speck of lingering destructive energy. She had strictly instructed Queng to only eat what Sejun cooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Sejun always cooks the corpses thoroughly—even their insides. His food was both safe and delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Queng pulled Mulmuli away—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why won’t you let me eat it?!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mulmuli screamed, throwing a tantrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goooooo...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of red Destruction Energy burst from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating the Gold Slime, Mulmuli had also absorbed its Destruction energy—and awakened her own destructive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like her title, Child of Creation Tainted by Destruction, even a small amount of that energy could trigger an awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since she had eaten the slime alive, Mulmuli had absorbed quite a bit of destructive energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mulmuli, if you interfere, I won’t go easy on you—even if you’re a teacher!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, some reason remained—at least she still recognized her teacher status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I’ll handle this before Dad finds out, da yo!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng shut the door to the slime farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She charged at Mulmuli. When someone was this out of control, a good beating was the answer—that’s what big brother Theo had taught her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaah! Why are you hitting me?! Waaah! Mulmuli was wrong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cries echoed from the slime farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wriggle. Wriggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slimes, terrified by the sound of Mulmuli getting beaten, hid trembling in the far corners of the farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Queng didn’t return—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why’s she taking so long? Vice Chairman Theo, go help Queng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun sent Theo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. Just leave it to me, nya! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am the most competent subordinate of the great hybrid Chairman Park, nya! Iona, let’s go, nya!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Sejun’s orders, Theo dashed toward the subspace storage with Iona clinging to his tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m back, nya!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo returned, carrying loads of slime meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about Queng? Huh? Iona’s not back either? Did something happen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There was a minor issue, but they’re handling it. You don’t need to worry, nya!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo dismissed it like it was nothing. For the Sejun family, minor incidents involving Destruction were now routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah? Alright then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun knew Theo never lied to him, so he let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vice Chairman Theo, slice up the meat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. Trust me, nya! Chairman Park, are you watching me clean my paws thoroughly, nya?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. You’re doing great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. I know, nya!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing his front paws and receiving praise from Sejun—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo popped out his claws and—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dadadadada.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Started swiftly slicing the meat into perfect portions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the cooking neared completion—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kkuhehehe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sob sob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng, Iona, and Mulmuli returned from the subspace storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s what happened. Mulmuli had snuck into the storage and got scolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun, unaware that a Destruction Awakening had nearly occurred, just thought it was a minor incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sob sob. Next time I’ll only eat cooked food...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least Mulmuli seemed to have learned her lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, the quietly suppressed Destruction disappeared without anyone noticing, and the Kindergarten of Destruction enjoyed lunch in peaceful harmony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sejun, let’s do this one next!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aileen handed him The Snail Bride story. Well, handing him the book was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I want to be the Snail Bride! You be the farmer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? You want to play the Snail Bride, Aileen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yup. So I’ll need to train in cooking for about a week! Gotta make it realistic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was—Aileen had declared she’d cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm. Aileen, actually... I think I’ll be the snail. Suddenly, I really want to try being the Snail Groom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? But the snail is a girl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll just change it to a man. Snail Groom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sejun strongly insisted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, then I’ll be the farmer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aileen had wanted to be the farmer since she knew the farmer and the snail end up married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. Then you can be the farmer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe. Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the two leads of The Snail Groom were decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kihihit. Squeak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehe! That ugly butler suits the snail role so well!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kkamang teased Sejun, full of glee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you’ll be the snail before transformation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, Kkamang landed the important role he’d been begging for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Theo will be the magistrate, Iona the magistrate’s aide, Queng will be the Bear King, Bat-Bat and Flamy are Bear King’s subordinates one and two...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun assigned roles to the whole group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Queng was a bear, the Dragon King role became the Bear King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did it really matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they’d already changed The Snail Bride to The Snail Groom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Sejun, the shameless king of plagiarism who’d claimed others’ songs as his own, had no qualms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all roles set—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad, when are we playing detective again, da yo?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, right. Gotta solve that mystery too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun remembered the empty honey jars in Iona’s subspace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sejun, let’s practice now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him, Aileen clutched the Snail Bride book with excitement, urging him on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much to do. Or rather—so much to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun pondered what to prioritize...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t spent much time with Aileen lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he decided to postpone the detective play and focus on rehearsing The Snail Groom with the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days into rehearsal—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh. What’s the point of farming... who will I even eat with...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kihihit. Squeak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehe! You can eat with the great Snail, obviously!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aileen sighed deeply in character, and Kkamang barked enthusiastically while wearing a brown poop-shaped hat—bought online for its uncanny resemblance to a snail shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Where’s that voice coming from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farmer (Aileen) looked around and found a snail the size of two fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I shouldn’t let it get stepped on by someone. I’ll take it home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She put the snail in a jar at home. And from the next day on, strange things began happening. Whenever she left the house, the place was tidied up and a bountiful meal was laid out in the master bedroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! Food! And there’s chocolate cake too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aileen had insisted that chocolate cake was essential for emotional realism, so alongside her favorite dishes like squid rice bowls and spicy rice cakes, a chocolate cake was placed on the table for dessert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because a new meal had to be made every time they practiced, rehearsals dragged on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! So delicious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Aileen actually dug in, relishing the food—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doorbell rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sejun opened the door—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sejun-nim, good day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dong-sik-nim, hello.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong-sik was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I brought some supplies from the Black Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Sejun hadn’t visited the Black Tower recently, crops harvested from the 99th floor were delivered to the 1st floor by the residents, and Dong-sik, who lived two houses over, brought them to the Kindergarten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While checking the delivery—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm? Dong-sik-nim, there’s no honey?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng’s honey was missing, so Sejun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s been a honey thief at the Black Tower lately. It must have been stolen along the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honey thief?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Sejun heard that, he remembered the empty honey jars from a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was the suspicious smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sejun confirmed the link between the missing honey and the empty jars—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Someone stole the honey I was supposed to eat, da yo! Unforgivable, da yo!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furious, Queng’s eyes turned sharp and triangular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Detective Squad set out for the Black Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Tower, 1st floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. While I was investigating the glass jars, I collected the scent and requested analysis from the Mage Association! It should be done by now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. Detective Iple, you’re amazing, nya!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo praised Iona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iona beamed at the praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—“Iona-nim, we’re sorry. The analysis isn’t finished yet...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mood soured instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkyu-kkyu—I told you to finish it even if you had to stay up all night!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I haven’t slept in two days...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkyu-kkyu-kkyu—What did you just say?! I handed that in four days ago! So you did sleep one day?! Get your act together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head analyst from the Mage Association was too exhausted to protest. Getting scolded and sleepless—it wasn’t ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t fight back. His boss was Iona—the Chair of the Mage Association, and the Mage of Mass Destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—“I’m sorry! I’ll finish it as soon as possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do was bow furiously and try to calm his superior’s fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkyu—Make sure you finish it fast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—“Yes! Loyalty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the call ended—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No sleep. No meals. Until this is done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wha—?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry. I’ve gotta survive too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief analyst began working his team into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sniff sniff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng! Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I smell honey from this way, da yo! Trust Detective Quenan and follow me, da yo!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even while angry, Queng continued the skit, tracking the honey scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how well you cover the trail, you can’t erase honey’s smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kihihit. Squeak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehe. The great Detective Kapang has a good nose too!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sniff. Sniff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kkamang sniffed beside Queng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great Kkamang-nim will find it first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snouts clashing, the two entered a heated rivalry—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roll roll roll...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kkamang got bumped by Queng and rolled far away—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And passed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pffft.
