“Puhuhut. Flamie, hurry over, meow!”
[Hehehe. Flamie noona, nice to see you!]
Sejun and his companions greeted Flamie warmly.
“Ah, Flamie, this is something Santa Claus said to give you because you’ve been good. Right, Vice Chairman Theo?”
Sejun pulled out a gift he had prepared for Flamie and winked at Theo.
“Oh, look! I got a one-star divine relic from Santa Trust-in-Park as my Christmas gift!”
Dwell, the God of Wells, emerged from his home holding a small water goblet and shouted excitedly.
“Puhuhut. Just one star? Dwell, you must not have done enough good deeds! I received a one-and-a-half-star divine relic from Santa Trust-in-Park!”
Har, the God of Basalt, who was already outside, proudly displayed a basalt statue in the shape of a human figure.
“Oh. How unfortunate. Since when did us non-combat gods do so few good deeds? Everyone, try harder! I received a two-star divine relic from Santa Trust-in-Park!” řÅꞐ𝔬𝖇ƐṨ
Pearl, the God of Pearls, appeared, riding on a giant pearl oyster. It even allowed him to sleep while traveling.
The square in front of the Seed Shop Headquarters was bustling with a gift battle among the non-combat gods, who had brought out the presents left at their bedsides that morning.
The gift battle continued all morning,
“Tada! I got a three-star divine relic! Puhuhut. Santa Trust-in-Park must have recognized my hard work.”
The battle ended with Leah, who revealed her three-star divine relic.
“Hohoho. How ridiculous.”
Hel, the God of Merchants, challenged Leah.
“Hmph! Hel, how many stars does your divine relic have for you to act so smug?”
“A three-star divine relic.”
“What? Same as me? Hel, you must have done many good…”
“But I have three divine relics.”
Hel displayed the gifts she had received from Santa Sejun.
She received three veto rights that could be used to reject Theo’s impeachments.
Considering how much Theo had taken from her, Hel had received rather generous gifts.
Of course, even if she used the vetoes, Theo could simply initiate another impeachment vote, so they weren’t particularly useful.
‘I can now veto impeachment attempts!’
Still, it provided Hel with a sense of psychological stability.
The reason why the gods, who hadn’t seen Santa Sejun, were convinced he was the one who gave the gifts was,
The name was clearly inscribed on the divine relics.
“Why is no one thanking me?”
Thus, no one acknowledged the efforts of the Creator God.
99th Floor of the Black Tower.
“Kuhahaha! I can’t believe I’m eating a dish made by Sejun right away !”
“Uhaha! Exactly. This is why you have to come and eat in person instead of ordering delivery!”
Around the cooking area, the dragons of the Four Dragons Council and the great black dragons were enjoying their lunch.
Meanwhile, the other residents of the tower were having their meals 5 kilometers away from Sejun’s kitchen.
“Do you dare to eat in the same space as us?!”
It was because of the great dragons.
Originally, eating on the same floor as the dragons wasn’t even allowed, but,
“Food doesn’t taste good when it gets cold.”
“Kuhum. Then we’ll grant you the honor of eating 5 kilometers away from us.”
At Sejun’s words, the dragons begrudgingly allowed others to eat within a 5-kilometer radius.
They truly look down on others…
Though Sejun, showered with praise from the dragons, didn’t realize it, the dragons, with their immense pride, also harbored strong contempt for lower beings.
Thanks to this, Sejun came to understand just how valuable his truly was, as it allowed him to escape their disdain.
After the meal was finished,
“Flamie, what should we do for fun?”
[Hehe. I’m happy as long as I’m with Sejun-nim!]
“Hehehe. Really? Then shall we go for a walk together? Aileen, would you like to join us?”
With Flamie perched on his shoulder, Sejun stood up and extended his hand to Aileen.
Aileen grabbed Sejun’s hand and stood up.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, take me, Vice Chairman Theo, with you, meow!”
“Brother-in-law, take me with you too!”
The group began to follow Sejun.
Sejun walked around with Theo, Cuengi, and the Blackie Family clinging to him, holding Aileen’s hand in one hand and Ace’s hand in the other.
Even though they were simply walking, Sejun felt immensely happy.
Of course, the others felt the same way. No one thought it was boring.
Just being together with everyone made this moment wonderful.
As evening approached, Sejun began to cook.
(Pip-pip! Hello, everyone!)
Paespaes woke up earlier than usual and greeted them.
(Pip-pip! Aileen-nim, play with me too!)
Paespaes wanted to play with Aileen.
“Shall we? Then how about we sing together?”
(Pip-pip! Yes, I’d love that!)
Hearing Aileen’s suggestion, Paespaes grabbed the magic microphone necklace he had received as a gift with his wings.
The two began to sing.
Sejun was astonished by Aileen’s singing voice.
Her regular voice was already beautiful, but her singing voice possessed a completely different charm. Moreover, her singing skills were impressive, rivaling even those of Paespaes, the King of Singers.
Thanks to their duet, Sejun, who was cooking, and Theo, Cuengi, and the Blackie Family, who were watching, all began to hum along joyfully.
After cooking happily like that, Sejun.
Called the Great Dragons who had settled around the kitchen to eat together.
[Flamie-nim, I am feeling it!]
Podori’s roots subtly crept toward Flamie and whispered to her.
[Huh?! What are you feeling?]
It couldn’t be, right?
Feeling a sense of foreboding, Flamie asked Podori.
Why are bad premonitions always right?
[Hehe. Flamie-nim, I think I’ll be able to evolve into a dimensional tree soon.]
Completely oblivious to Flamie’s concern, Podori laughed cheerfully.
Why didn’t you evolve when I told you to before…?
