-Kkuku. “Father, what’s wrong?”

-What? “Why the installment plan?”

Bing-i and Dong-i stick their heads out from both sides.

Seol, Bing, and Dong-i looked at me and asked, sticking their heads out from between Hwa-eun’s collar.

Seol-i called out to Man, and it seemed like they were all a family and came out together.

“Oh, nothing else, just let’s give this guy some cold air.”

-Ugh? “To that sick person?”

-Kkukuu? 『Yes!?』

-What? “Are you hitting me?”

As soon as the words were spoken, the three cute lizards’ vertical eyes widened and then returned to their original position.

Everyone opened their eyes wide in surprise at the suggestion to shoot cold air.

It was obvious that the guy who seemed to be doing it today or tomorrow was surprised when I shot him with my recently awakened cold beam.

If you didn’t know my intentions, you might think that it would be the same as attacking me as Dong-i’s cute question.

‘No, kids, Dad isn’t that bad. How can he hit such cute kids?’

This father may not know people, but he is a man who has never hit a spirit or poisonous creature.

Because in his previous life, he was a person who lived truly lawless, never hitting anyone.

I’ve beaten up a few people since coming to Murim, but aren’t they all bad guys?

But how can this be a misunderstanding?

When I was starting to feel a little sad, I heard Seol’s sister ask me a question.

“Ah! It looks like you are exhausted because you have run out of energy, and the best way to get out of exhaustion is to replenish the energy you lack.

“But it looks like that kid is using cold energy, so let’s fill up the cold energy, right?”

“That’s right, Sister Seol.”

If you pretend, you pretend.

As expected, it was Seol’s sister.

A clear understanding without any misunderstandings, different from that of children.

Only then did Seol, Bing, and Dong-i nod their heads at Seol’s explanation.

-Kkuu. “Ah, that’s why. I was surprised. There must have been a reason, but I was just worried that he might be dangerous.”

-Kukkukuu. 『There is a reason why Mother is sometimes surprised. Father, please explain first. If you suddenly attack a sick spirit, she will be surprised.』

“Is that so?”

I was a little upset, but I was the one who had to apologize.

After listening to Bingyi’s story, I realized that I was wrong.

This was all because of my occupational disease from working as a YouTuber in my previous life.

Throw it away first and then explain.

‘It’s all because of the viewers!’

Originally, in order to attract viewers’ aggro, this type of conversation style had to be maintained.

After living like that for several years, I realized that my conversation style didn’t really change.

I heard something from Hwa-eun last time, and I was still the same.

As I scratched my head with an apologetic expression, Seol’s sister’s voice continued.

“That certainly seems like a good idea.”

“Right?”

“Yeah, if you think about the children you’re raising, that method definitely seems like a good idea.

Up until now, except for a few spirits, most of the children absorbed the natural energy and used it as food, just like martial artists build up their internal energy, right?

And among those natural energies, you only accept the energy that suits you.”

As Sister Seol said, except for cases like Yeolbi and Jeokwol, most spirits absorb energy instead of food.

All living things in this world have to eat something to survive, so they eat energy.

“Those kids also seem to be kids who use cold energy, judging by the way they froze their surroundings, so if you shoot Seol-i’s energy at them, there’s a high chance that they’ll regain their energy.

But I think we need to check if the mood is right.”

“You want to check if the mood is right?”

I tilted my head, wondering if all cold air was the same, but Sister Seol explained it to me.

“Did you know that the energy that children eat is called natural energy?”

“Hey, Sister Seol. Of course I know that.”

I quickly nodded my head to Seol’s sister’s question.

When I first started learning martial arts under the teachings of my grandfather, Mandokshin-gun, I heard that all things in the universe are filled with natural energy.

I heard that natural elements are essential for all things in heaven and earth to survive, and can be broadly divided into yin and yang, and further subdivided into the five elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth.

“Do you know that there are five elements in it?”

“Of course, Sister Seol. I am Samhwachwijeong.”

“Oh, that’s right. Our little dragon was Samhwachwijeong. But why does he still look like a later index to my sister?”

“yes?”

“Haha. Anyway. Listen.”

“Yes···.”

Sister Seol slightly ignored me, but I could understand what she meant.

While others have to endure decades of internal energy training, elixirs, and martial arts to reach the level of Samhwachuijeong, I’ve only been taking in the poison of poison while doing my hobby, so isn’t it a state I’ve achieved quickly as if I was just playing tag?

It hasn’t been that long since we met, but you won’t believe how much I’ve grown.

But that was that, and anyway, since I had memorized the basic common sense, Seol-nu nodded and continued her explanation.

“I’ve found out while dealing with the poisons you raise, that children only eat the energy that suits them among the five elements, and it’s not necessarily just one energy.”

“Not one?”

“Yeah. Listen. Seol, Bing, and Dong absorb the cold energy from Bingok, but that is the energy of water and metal in the Five Elements. They absorb the energy of gold, which signifies the end of autumn when leaves fall, the beginning of winter, and the sunset, and the energy of water, which signifies winter, the north, water, and night.

Hwayangi only absorbs the fire energy, which is the positive energy, from Hwajeong, and Cho, Hyang, and Bini absorbed the natural energy itself before they grew up, but after they grew up, the energy they each absorbed changed?

Among the natural elements, the first element is the water and metal energy, and the second element is the fire and wood energy.

“Bin-i absorbed the energy of earth and metal among the natural elements.”

I thought it was simply the energy of yin and yang, but I didn’t know it could be divided into this many details.

After hearing Sister Seol’s explanation, I could understand why Sister Seol said that she needed to check her energy.

The energy that our children like is not only food, but also the energy that forms the foundation of their bodies.

That could be interpreted as meaning something like blood type.

So, what I was saying was that even if it was the same cold air, if the detailed energy was different, it might not match each other.

‘Oh, this should fit well.’

When you look worried at the words that even the same cold can be wrong, one question comes to mind.

There was one thing that was strange about my sister’s explanation.

“But you said that Cho-rang, Seol, Bing, and Dong-i absorb the same energy of gold and water, but Cho didn’t show any particular interest in Bing-ok?”

Clearly, Sister Seol said that the two absorb the same energy.

But Cho has never shown any interest in Bingok.

To my question, my sister nodded and said.

“Ah, that’s the difference in how much of the same energy is accepted. So, Cho accepts about seven of the water and metal energies, and about three of the gold energies, while Seol, Bing, and Dong accept about five of the gold and water energies each.”

“iced coffee···.”

I looked at the guy who had collapsed and was panting after hearing that there was even a difference in the ratio of energy.

If I did this wrong, the energy wouldn’t match up and I might not even be able to try treatment.

“Oh, I can’t be wrong.”

“Just wait, I’ll check it right away.”

“Okay, Sister Seol.”

Seol’s sister approaches the panting boy and puts her hand on his body to check his energy.

In the meantime, I decided to breathe the energy of the Beast’s Heart into Seol-i’s body.

If the energy confirmed by Sister Seol matched Seol, Bing, and Dongi, then it was to start treatment right away.

“Seol-ah, come here. It’s urgent, so I’ll give you energy right away. If it’s Seol-niu, I’ll start treatment right away.”

-Kuuu. “Okay, Father.”

Seol-i, who escaped from Hwa-eun’s embrace.

I immediately put Seol-i, who was running on the cold floor, into my arms.

Seol, Bing, and Dong-i use cold energy, but they don’t like cold air very much.

“Okay, then let’s blow it in.”

He put his hand on his chest and closed his eyes.

And just like before, he breathed the energy of the beast’s heart into Seol-i.

After some time had passed, I felt a repulsive force in my hand.

When I opened my eyes, Hwa-eun was approaching me with a worried expression on her face.

It seemed like he was coming closer because he thought he might fall down like last time.

“Are you okay, Soryong?”

“it’s okay.”

As expected, Hwa-eun is the first to ask if everything is okay.

When I turned my head to Hwa-eun and told her that it was okay, Seol-nu smiled and said.

“It’ll be okay. If Seol and Bing Dong are each 50/50, then that kid is probably 50/50/50 in Su and 40/50/50 in Geum.

“I think it’ll be okay since it’s not that big of a difference.”

Fortunately, the story is that things are going well.

He said to Seol-i with a relieved expression.

“Seol-ah, can you shoot with weak energy?”

-Kkuu. “I’ve never done it before, so I have to try it.”

“Oh, I see.”

To be sure, I only tried shooting ice once as a demonstration last time.

Seol-i went down to the floor and tried to shoot cold air at another place first.

“for a moment!”

-Kkuu? “Why, Father?”

Seol, who was about to shoot cold air with a light from her tail, stopped when I said “for a moment.”

He quickly took off his outerwear and laid it on the floor.

“Go up here and do it.”

These are kids who don’t like the cold, so I don’t want them to catch a cold and get sick from standing on the cold floor.

Then, Seol-i expressed her gratitude in a very grateful voice, but then suddenly reprimanded Bing-i.

-Kkuu. “Oh my, as expected from Father. Thank you, Father.”

“Thank you. It’s something a father should do.”

-Kkukuu. “You too, watch and learn.”

-What? “Me?”

Bing-yi, who was standing still, suddenly blinked at the sudden onslaught.

While Seol-i was practicing gently emitting cold air, Bing-i secretly sent her a message.

‘-Kkukkuk. Father. Can’t we talk about it when we do something from now on? If you do that, I think I’ll be in trouble for a while···.’

The world of couples among spirits also seemed similar to that of humans.

It was said that in my past life, if a lovebird couple appeared on a show, the families that watched that show that day would have a fight.

‘I was wrong.’

***

After exhausting all her energy, Seol-i finally came to her senses.

Instead of shooting out beams of light like a laser, it was able to emit a soft light like the lamps used when raising reptiles.

-Kuu. “Father, is this enough?”

“Yeah, Seol-ah, I think that’ll be okay.”

I decided to recharge my batteries and get started on the treatment right away.

“Then I’ll give you some more energy.”

-Kkuu. “I understand, Father.”

He breathed life into her once more and placed Seol-i right in front of Baek Seol-gap.

Then, Bing-i, who was in Hwa-eun’s arms, jumped down and took the outer garment I had taken off and laid it in front of Baek Seol-gap.

The feeling that something is off when the tail is drooping.

As soon as my outer clothes were laid out, Seol-i climbed onto them with a very satisfied smile.

“I hope the treatment goes well.”

When Bing-yi looked at me with a look of disgust, I tried to avoid talking, but Seol-nu asked me.

“Wait a minute, but shouldn’t we leave that kid out?”

“Oh, by the way.”

I had momentarily forgotten because they were so attached to their mother that they seemed like one body, but I definitely thought it would be a good idea to separate the cubs.

That boy is currently unable to receive energy directly and is instead receiving it through his mother’s milk.

Perhaps it was because it was fed the energy contained in its mother’s milk, but if it were fed directly, it would be no different from feeding grilled meat to a baby who can’t even eat solid food yet.

“That would be good. Come on, baby, let’s go see Grandpa for a bit. I’m going to treat Mommy.”

I tried to gently coax him away, but he clung to his mother’s body and wouldn’t let go.

It seems that he was still too young and misunderstood what was being said.

But I don’t think it would be good if I forcibly separated them.

“What should I do?”

“That’s right. Should I force them apart?”

-Pfft!

When everyone was looking embarrassed, Dong-i jumped out of Hwa-eun’s arms as the guy started crying.

-Bye! Kyubye! 『The elder brother is trying to help. So come here and stay with me.』

The guy who raised his head from where he had been lying down when he heard Dong-i’s voice and blankly stared at Dong-i.

-Churup

When Dong-i licked the guy’s face once, the guy got startled and lowered his head again, but after a while, he stuck his head out again, and strangely enough, he took one of his feet out and put it towards Dong-i.

Originally, the kids were the type of guys who would quickly move on to Dong-i because they had something in common with other kids.

Since the two were almost the same size, Dong-i and the guy were soon hugging each other tightly.

The sight of a blue lizard and a white pangolin hugging each other tightly is a heart-wrenchingly cute sight.

-Byebye.

As Dong-i licked the baby who was younger than her, light began to shine from Seol-i’s tail.
