“Creator Reactor, sheed potato!”
“Hmm?”
“……?”
Geuru looked at On Suhyeong’s blank face and heh, opened her mouth.
Bombs were going off one after another in her head.
*I stupidly blurted out the truth~!*
What should I do?
Does Grandpa know too? That Jjapsso made the Creator Reactor?
If Dad finds out I slipped up and got caught by Grandpa about Jjapsso, what will happen?
Jurim tended to act extremely sensitive about Geuru’s identity.
They had even fought over whether she could do Hunter work or not. If he knew she was running around letting it slip this easily…….
*This time, it might really be a hundred ‘no’s!*
While Geuru’s mind grew complicated with only her mouth hanging open, On Suhyeong parted his lips slightly.
“Chri….”
So startled by that, a hiccup popped out.
“*Hiccup!*”
Geuru, her face paling, clamped her hands over her mouth.
“Chri…… What did you say next? Grandpa’s hearing has gotten quite bad these days, so I can’t hear well.”
“……!”
Geuru’s eyes began to sparkle.
“Christmas…… potawo…… *hiccup!*”
“Ahh, Christmas potato. I see. It’s a toy factory that makes Christmas potatoes.”
“Yeth, yeth! *Hiccup!*”
“Then shall we go inside with Grandpa and play drawing factory blueprints?”
“Yeth.”
“Let’s go.”
“Yeth! *Hiccup!*”
“Our Geuru must have been very surprised.”
“I’m not thtartled…… *Hiccup!*”
“Is that so. You just need to drink some tasty juice inside and calm down.”
“Yup. *Hiccup.*”
On Suhyeong wiped the corners of Geuru’s eyes, from which tears had begun to well, and gently patted her back. At that, the hiccups quickly subsided.
“But Geuru, is it okay to leave those behind?”
On Suhyeong gestured toward the baby bird and hamster buried up to their necks, and they cried out pitifully, begging to be saved.
“Piiiiii!”
“Myuuuuu!”
“…….”
It seems I should close the factory door today, so should I take them out…….
Geuru grabbed Mephisto and Berilark by the head and plucked them out with a pop.
Having escaped the dirt, the two burrowed into the arms of the smiling On Suhyeong.
“Hehehe.”
At that sight, Geuru pouted.
“Let’s go inside.”
“Yeth.”
*
Contrary to how she had been nervous and anxious about whether Grandpa would find out.
“What principle does the Christmas potato use?”
“You put a mana stone hewe…… wike this…….”
“These days toys use mana stones. That sounds very interesting.”
“It’s tho fun!”
Geuru showed a broad, beaming smile and thought:
*Grandpa is tho clueless……!*
New knowledge increased by 1.
To think he was the chairman of such a huge company when he was this clueless.
In dramas, clueless chairmen got betrayed a lot…….
Geuru gazed at On Suhyeong with a sorrowful look.
*I guess I have to protect Grandpa too.*
While Geuru was making up her mind, Grandpa was drawing new blueprints on his laptop.
“Would it be okay to make this part with a soft material? Since the corners are easy to bump into.”
“Ah! It’s okey. I wike it.”
“Alright, alright. And this rotary kiln part, let’s make it a long cylindrical shape so the potatoes are made one by one and come down…….”
Click-clack — the blueprints began transforming into a professional form under his swiftly moving hands.
*Wooow…….*
It wasn’t the crude factory from before.
Taking into consideration that it was a toy a child would carry around, he added handles, and even decorated it so that overall it looked like an amusement park.
It was just when Geuru was implementing and rotating the magically appearing blueprint in her head in 3D form.
[Your knowledge has increased!]
[Clack-Clack Filial Piety Factory Level Up!]
[You may assign 3 more employees!]
*Woooah!*
Now there are 6 employees! Since they’ll work double, even an S-Rank Reactor is no longer a dream!
“Geuru, but can we make this out of Lego? What if Grandpa does the mold work and makes it for you? Can you still use it as a toy?”
“Yeth.”
Since she only needed to designate it as the Filial Piety Factory, it didn’t matter what it was made of.
“That’s a relief.”
“Heehee.”
The grandfather and granddaughter smiled brightly at each other.
“But you know, Geuru. I don’t think you should leave the toy here? The emptier a house is, the better it must be maintained, so many servants come and go.”
Doo-doom—!
Then Geuru has nowhere to put it!
Should I move it back to the Guild Master’s office?
It was just then that she imagined her angry father wolf monster kicking Geuru’s factory.
“If this toy of yours needs a lot of mana, it would be fine to put it in a dungeon Grandpa has purchased.”
“Dungeon?”
Geuru perked up her ears.
“Yes, a company like Grandpa’s sometimes buys dungeons that have become closed mines. They’re useful for research, waste disposal, and many other things.”
If she put the factory in a dungeon, it would be convenient to use her [Dungeon Is an Open Door] skill to go back and forth.
“Can Geuru have it?”
Geuru knew to some extent that dungeons were more expensive than ordinary land. Not only that, it was a place that couldn’t be bought by just anyone with money.
Then On Suhyeong smiled and gently tapped Geuru’s nose.
“Of couwse. If our Geuru wants to use it, Grandpa is fine with anything as long as our Geuru is happy.”
Ziiing—
Geuru clutched her trembling chest.
“Me too! Geuru wikes it when Grandpa is happy too!”
“Then will you say that you like Grandpa the most?”
“Yup! Geuru—!”
“Wait a moment.”
On Suhyeong quickly began filming Geuru with his phone.
“Geuru wikes Grandpa the most!”
On Suhyeong smiled broadly and gave Geuru a kiss on the cheek. Geuru giggled and gave On Suhyeong a kiss on the cheek too.
After filming it like that, On Suhyeong seemed to send it somewhere.
Seeing messages pouring in endlessly right after, he laughed with a *pufufu*.
What is it? Geuru tilted her head.
Soon, the name “Our Son~♡” appeared on the screen, and the phone began to buzz and tremble incessantly.
“Is it Dad?”
“He’ll be coming here soon. Shall we have dinner at our house?”
“Yeth!”
“Alright, Grandpa will get everything ready. Go and play in the meantime.”
On Suhyeong gave Geuru’s bottom a light pat.
“Let’s go play!”
Geuru said brightly and scampered out, followed by the hamster, rabbit, and baby bird.
On Suhyeong smiled warmly as he watched the child playing in the yard.
*To think even my granddaughter would turn out so outstanding.*
He himself didn’t think he had lived a particularly virtuous life, yet somehow he had ended up with such a lovely and outstanding child.
Life was truly unpredictable.
Geuru seemed to want to hide it, but he had known for quite some time that Geuru was a Hunter whose stock was rising tremendously.
He could easily reach a conclusion by recalling why his prickly and lazy son had brought the child, who had come to Hyeonak right after, and the interview conducted when there was conflict with Geuru.
Additionally, the fact that he had always had outstanding sons meant he had far fewer prejudices than others, which also played a large role.
In fact, the reason he had appointed the suspicious figure known as Jjapsso as the figurehead president of a subsidiary was because he knew Jjapsso was Geuru.
“…….”
On Suhyeong, who had been smiling, sighed as he kept recalling something that kept pricking at his mind.
When you ran such a large company, your intuition naturally sharpened.
Because you could see the big picture, how everything was connected.
On Suhyeong turned on his phone and sent a text to the chief of staff.
*Look into everything regarding the state secret ‘Project Wilderness’.*
The goal of the confidential project was to manifest the entirety of Ijo.
The other name of Ijo, who possessed an L-Class production skill, was none other than ‘Imago Dei’.
Just as God had created humans in His own image, Ijo was a creator who could perfectly reproduce anything in the world.
Without distinguishing between organic and inorganic, from animals to humans to monsters. Regardless of any realistic conditions or grades…….
The feeling that Geuru resembled Ijo might not have been a delusion.
On Suhyeong gripped his trembling hands.
If his thoughts were correct, he wanted to delete all the records before Jurim caught on.
Because as Geuru grew, it was clear that Jurim would also reach the same conclusion he had.
