Player who Returned 10,000 years Later-Chapter 20Epilogue : Open Class for Parents (1)

The cherry blossom petals covering the streets disappeared as if they had melted like snow. The heat from the sun slowly rose, allowing everyone to appreciate what Willis Carrier had done for the world.

“Earth is done for,” said Oh Kang-Woo as he returned home after dropping the kids off to school.

“What do you mean, honey?’

“Why is it done for?”

“Is there… a problem with a Rift?”

His three wives’ expressions turned serious after Kang-Woo’s sudden apocalyptic declaration. He laughed awkwardly as he stared at his wives reacting far more seriously than expected.

“No, I was just saying because it feels like summer when it’s only May.”

“Ohh… Global warming, was it? I’ve heard it’s a serious problem.”

“Apparently, yeah.”

Kang-Woo remembered brushing it aside when he was little but he could feel it getting hotter each year nowadays.

He added, “Forget the otherworldly invasions, we’re driving ourselves to self-ruin at this rate.”

“But carbon emissions have significantly reduced globally thanks to advancements in using mana stones as an energy source,” Seol-Ah remarked.

“Oh, for real?”

Kang-Woo recalled hearing huge news about mana stone power plants or mana stone-powered cars.

“Yes, and I hear Red Rose’s advancements in that field are unrivaled,” Lilith mentioned.

“Whoa, my guild was that amazing?” Yeon-Joo asked.

“Yeon-Joo…?”

‘How could you not know about that, woman? It’s your guild.’

“C-Come on~ I was obviously joking! Eco-friendly technology applying mana stones is our guild’s future now that fewer Rifts are opening!”

‘It kinda sounds like you’re saying something you heard from someone.’

“But won’t the mana stone supply also reduce as fewer Rifts open?” Lilith asked.

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that.”

Yeon-Joo shrugged and approached Kang-Woo. She groped his butt like a middle-aged manager sexually harassing an employee and smirked.

“If the supply goes down, I can always ask my hubby here to keep a few Rifts open.”

“Yeah… What an impeccable plan,” Kang-Woo remarked exasperatedly.

It was demented but it only made his head hurt more because it was more than possible.

“Hehe. You’ll do that for me, won’t you, my hubby?”

“Well… as long as they’re in deserted areas.”

“You’re the best, hubby.”

Yeon-Joo gave Kang-Woo a thumbs-up and slapped his butt.

“That aside, are you not going to work today?” Kang-Woo asked.

“I have a day off today~”

“You’ve had a lot of days off lately, haven’t you?”

“I’m the guildmaster, after all!”

‘Apologize to the guildmasters all over the world.’

“But I get my job done above and beyond expectations when it matters. The mana stones I procured for the guild weigh in the tonnes, man.”

“I guess… you have a point.”

Yeon-Joo’s role in the guild was more as a combatant who killed monsters in Rifts and collected their mana stones than taking part in business and administration. As a combatant, she also needed to rest on days when no hunting took place to remain in tip-top shape at all times.

‘But seeing my wife leisurely lazing around in broad daylight is a bit…’

“It’s pissing me off for some reason,” Kang-Woo expressed.

“What? Why?! Seol-Ah and Lilith unnie are home too!”

“It’s fine for them but seeing you lazing around grinds my gears.”

“Aren’t you too harsh on just me, hubby?” asked Yeon-Joo in frustration as she turned to Seol-Ah and Lilith.

Lilith giggled and said, “It shows how intimate you two are.”

“That sounds like a made-up excuse.”

Yeon-Joo pouted and flopped on the couch. Kang-Woo sat next to her and stretched.

“That aside, are you free today as well, Kang-Woo?” Yeon-Joo asked.

“Yup. I closed a Rift yesterday so I should be free today.”

“Oh, it’s been a while since we were all free on a weekday.”

Their children would be back from school in a few hours but they could spend that time being lovey-dovey with each other.

“Hmm. You’re right.” Lilith stood up with sparkling eyes. She elegantly walked toward Kang-Woo and sat on his lap. “Then shall we deepen the bonds of our marriage before the kids return?”

“What do you have in mind?”

“Hmm. I wonder what I have in mind?”

Lilith’s eyes shone like a predator that found a scrumptious prey. She blew into Kang-Woo’s ear and seductively licked it. Sparks ran throughout Kang-Woo’s body as the slippery sensation tickled his ear.

“Ahem. Even so, doing such a thing in daylight is a bit…”

“Fufu. I was joking.”

Lilith winked and stood up from Kang-Woo’s lap.

“I-It’s getting a little hot in here. Why don’t we turn on the air conditioner?”

“Pfft! You’re beet red. Do you want me to do that to you too?”

“Shaddup,” Kang-Woo said to the teasing Yeon-Joo and turned on the living room air conditioner. “Ahh, that feels nice.”

He would be unscathed even if he went for a swim in magma but he could still feel heat. He appreciated the genius of the great Willis Carrier as the cool air from the air conditioner brushed past his skin.

“Oh right, Kang-Woo. Would you like some of the ice cream we got as a gift last time?” Seol-Ah asked.

“Oh, sounds good.”

“Me too! Me too!” Yeon-Joo shouted.

“Okay, just a second.” Seol-Ah went to the kitchen and brought four palm-sized cups of ice cream. “They’re all different flavors so you can choose one first, Kang-Woo.”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

“Hmm… then I’ll choose the most basic mint chocolate flavor.”

“You call that basic?” Yeon-Joo criticized with a frown. “Why would you wanna eat toothpaste?”

“Mint chocolate is good…”

“Okay, okay. Have as much of it as you like. Vanilla for me!”

“I’ll go with strawberry,” Seol-Ah said.

“Hmm. In that case, I’ll have this purple tentacle flavor,” Lilith remarked.

“That’s grape, unnie.”

They chose the ice cream flavors they wanted and relaxed on the couch as they watched YouTube.

“Oh, look. Echidna’s in that one.”

“Oh, you’re right.”

“The girl next to her is super cute as well.”

“Oh, Sung Ahri? She’s super famous too.”

“Urgh,” Kang-Woo groaned at the mention of Ahri.

“What’s wrong?” Yeon-Joo asked.

“Nothing.” Kang-Woo had a bite of ice cream as he erased the nightmare he had recalled. “Haaah… this is the life.”

He was leisurely spending time in the living room with his wives with the air conditioner blasting while the kids were at school. He was so happy that he wished for time to stop.

“Hehe. Are you still bothered that I have a day off?” Yeon-Joo asked.

“Nope, I couldn’t be happier. Why don’t you quit your guildmaster job and stay at home all the time?”

“The hell are you talking about?” Yeon-Joo snickered and put her slender legs on Kang-Woo’s lap. “Right, relieve your almighty wife’s fatigue by massaging her legs.”

“Isn’t Seol-Ah the one who usually has it the hardest among you three? She takes care of almost all the housework.”

“Pshh! How can the job of a mere housewife compare to the invaluable tasks of a guildmaster?”

“Do you want to starve, Yeon-Joo?” Seol-Ah asked.

“Gasp. I beg of you, please forgive this lowly one’s heinous crime!”

Yeon-Joo immediately took her legs off Kang-Woo’s lap and bowed to Seol-Ah, making her and Lilith laugh.

As they spent their time being lovey-dovey as married couples, Lilith suggested, “Would you like to try some of my ice cream, my love?”

“Hm? Oh, that’d be great.” Kang-Woo happily nodded.

“Well, then… Fufu.”

Lilith playfully giggled as she partially unbuttoned her shirt and expertly took off her bra.

“Excuse me? Lilith?”

‘Why are you undressing when you offered me to try your ice cream…?’

“You were disappointed you couldn’t do this before because of the children, right?” said Lilith as she placed a spoon of ice cream between her cleavage. A sweet lump was floating in a valley made of two round hills. Kang-Woo’s sense of reason went out the window as the ice cream slowly melted once it touched Lilith’s skin.

“U-Unnie?”

“W-Wow…”

Yeon-Joo and Seol-Ah couldn’t help but gulp as well at the overwhelmingly seductive sight. It was enough to make women gulp so there was no question for a man.

“U-Uhhh?”

Kang-Woo was left wide-mouthed, having lost his ability to speak coherently, and simply stared intently at Lilith’s cleavage. Lilith smiled seductively and gently pulled Kang-Woo’s head toward her breasts.

“Now, we have plenty of time before the children return, so you can enjoy it as much as you like, okay?”

Kang-Woo couldn’t resist such overpowering temptation. He strongly pulled Lilith’s waist toward him and buried his face into Lilith’s cleavage.

“Hngh.”

Lilith trembled as Kang-Woo voraciously licked the ice cream off her breasts like a man who had found an oasis in a desert. She gently patted his head and smiled joyfully.

“M-Me too! I want to feed Kang-Woo ice cream too!”

Seol-Ah also unbuttoned her shirt as if trying to make up for her failed attempt at the picnic, exposing two round hills— no, canyons.

‘Oh my Jesus.’

Kang-Woo couldn’t believe he was still thirsty even after drinking to his heart’s content from the sweet oasis between the valley.

“Now… come here, my honey.”

Kang-Woo slowly drifted toward the other valley. Perhaps Willis Carrier’s principle of air conditioning was false because the air in the living room was heating up despite the air conditioner being in its maximum setting.

“A-Ahem! W-Well, if my hubby wants to know what vanilla tastes like so much, I guess it can’t be helped!” Yeon-Joo also stepped up as Kang-Woo licked ice cream from yet another valley. “Alright, my hubby! Have some vanilla as w—”

Splat.

The ice cream slid off the flat hill— no, plain— and fell on the floor.

“...”

“...”

‘Ahh, the true father of air conditioning must be Yeon-Joo, not Willis Carrier. She cooled down the heated atmosphere in a flash.’

***

Clack.

“We’re back.”

“Beloved Father! The weather’s so hot today!”

“W-We’re home…”

Kang-Woo’s three children returned from school.

“Father, we have an open class for parents next Wednesday… Hm?”

Kang-Hyun tilted his head in wonder, noticing the awkwardness in the air. He saw his weeping mother curled up into a ball on the couch and his father consoling her.

“Did something happen?” he asked.

“No… nothing happened.”

Kang-Woo sorrowfully shook his head as he patted his wife’s back.
