Kaiser laughed joyfully, watching the dragons stare blankly at the cream cake that Sejun had made.
“Here. Aileen, this is for you.”
Kaiser broke off the entire top section of the black tower and handed it to Aileen.
“Grandpa, thank you so much!”
Aileen expressed her deep gratitude for Kaiser’s consideration.
Taking the most delicious and beautiful portion for oneself when hosting guests would have been extremely rude.
However, Kaiser, the granddaughter-fool that he was, had the mindset of “Who cares about some rude behavior? Just let them complain.”
As if it were the most natural thing in the world, they climbed onto Sejun’s chest.
They sprawled out and fell asleep.
While Sejun and the Blackie Family were sound asleep,
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I’ve returned, meow!”
[Cuengi is back too!]
Theo and Cuengi had come back.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, are you sleeping, meow?!”
Finding Sejun asleep, Theo naturally climbed onto his lap and made himself comfortable.
[Dad said if you don’t work, you can’t eat, but Dad isn’t working…]
If Dad doesn’t work, we won’t have food today! This is a big problem!
Cuengi, who believed that skipping even one meal was catastrophic, was deeply worried as he watched Sejun laze around.
Son, cooking isn’t as easy as you think.
[That’s right! Dad did work! That’s a relief!]
Dad will be able to eat!
Relieved by Sejun’s words, Cuengi let out a big sigh of relief.
Feeling reassured, Cuengi clung to Sejun’s side, showing off his cutest antics.
As Sejun lay with his companions, enjoying a leisurely moment,
Aileen called out to him.
She had cried so hard earlier that she now felt hungry.
There should be plenty of food over there. Why ask me?
Although puzzled, Sejun replied,
“Alright. What do you want to eat?”
Thinking she might have her reasons, he jumped up and headed to the kitchen.
Wanting spicy food often meant someone was feeling gloomy.
Without asking why Aileen was gloomy, Sejun quietly began making food to comfort her mood.
First, he started with Spicy Cheese Braised Chicken. He added various ingredients like rice cakes, sweet potatoes, and sausages.
Especially since Aileen loved rice cakes, he decided to triple the amount.
As the spicy cheese braised chicken filled with rice cakes began to cook, he prepared a sweet and tangy Cherry Tomato Juice to help offset the spiciness.
“Aileen, eat this first.”
Sejun handed Aileen the spicy cheese braised chicken and cherry tomato juice before continuing to make more dishes.
He planned to recreate every dish served at the dragons’ meeting today—just for Aileen.
A Sejun buffet dedicated solely to Aileen.
As Sejun was working hard on his fourth dish,
[The Tower Administrator says but her mother is somewhere else so she can’t see her.]
Aileen began sharing what she had kept in her heart, and
Sejun silently continued cooking as he listened to Aileen’s story.
So Aileen’s mother is alive.
From the atmosphere, he had thought it was best not to ask about her mother and had never brought it up.
Sejun continued to quietly cook as he listened to Aileen.
She’s trapped somewhere?!
Sejun stopped moving and carefully listened to Aileen.
According to Aileen, the Black Tower of Omid was the last one remaining at that time. Aileen’s mother, the Tower Administrator, descended to Omid.
However, when Aileen’s mother descended, a specific magic had been triggered.
A dimensional spell that severed all connections with other worlds, isolating itself.
Because of this magic, Omid became a place no one could locate.
This was because Omid, having severed all connections with other worlds, kept drifting through dimensions like a raft adrift in a vast ocean.
“Aileen, don’t worry. I’ll find your mother-in—no, I mean, Aileen’s mother! I promise!”
Sejun comforted Aileen with a confident voice.
Not that he had any specific plan in mind.
He just had a feeling he could somehow make it happen.
Vice Chairman Theo would surely pull off something miraculous this time too, right?
As Sejun looked at Theo with a gaze full of trust,
He saw Theo enthusiastically licking between his legs.
Maybe not Theo this time?
Suddenly, his confidence plummeted.
Aileen unexpectedly brought up the message Sejun had left earlier.
Sejun was about to hurriedly make the pathetic excuse he had prepared earlier.
Aileen spoke just a beat faster.
Sejun grinned ear to ear at Aileen’s words.
That’s the method, meow! If Aileen noona’s eyes get blinded from love, then Chairman Park’s ugly face might not matter anymore, meow!
Theo suddenly had an epiphany.
The Sea of Dimensions.
Countless worlds floated like islands, while many others drifted freely along the currents of the dimensional sea.
