Chapter 549: This, I can't let slide!
TL: Hanguk
Black Tower, 62nd Floor.
Ppiik?
[Sejun-nim, have you been well?]
“Yes. Have you been well too, Father Rabbit?”
Ppiik.
[Yes.]
As Sejun and Father Rabbit exchanged greetings,
Swoosh.
Ppak!
[We greet Sejun-nim!]
The Black Rabbits, who had been hiding around the area, appeared and bowed respectfully. They were the guard squad responsible for guarding Father Rabbit and the Baby Rabbits.
“Alright. Good work.”
Ppak!
[We will return to our posts then.]
“Sure.”
While Sejun was talking with the guard squad,
“Puhuhut. Father Rabbit, it’s been a while, meow!”
[Hehe. It’s been a while!]
Kueng!
[It’s been a while!]
Kking!
[Long time no see!]
Theo, Flamie, Cuengi, and Blackie all greeted Father Rabbit.
Piyo!
[Hello!]
“It’s been a while.”
Next, Piyot and Uren also exchanged greetings with Father Rabbit.
At that moment,
Ppaek! Ppaek!
Ppiik!
Ppiyak!
Black Torch and other Baby Rabbits started yelling and fighting among themselves.
The reason for their fight? It was because of Sejun.
“That person really is Uncle Sejun, I’m telling you!”
“No, he’s not! Chairman Park doesn’t look like that!”
“Yeah! Chairman Park has two horns and eight arms!”
“He’s also 10 meters tall, and most importantly, Chairman Park is supposed to be handsome, but that person is ugly!”
“Black Torch is a liar!”
The Baby Rabbits were rejecting the real-life Sejun, who looked different from the rumors they had heard, and argued with Black Torch.
And then,
You. I remembered you. You said I was ugly, didn’t you.
Hearing their conversation, Sejun was furious.
Ppaek! Ppaek...
[I’m not a liar! He really is Uncle Park Sejun...]
When the Baby Rabbits accused Black Torch of being a liar, the Black Rabbit grew frustrated, sniffling as if about to cry, when
Ssssssss.
A bubbling sound was heard, accompanied by a sweet aroma.
Ppaek?
Ppiik?
Ppiyak?
Ppap?
Black Torch and the Baby Rabbits naturally turned their heads.
“Those who want carrot candies, come over here and line up.”
There stood Sejun, coating carrots with sugar syrup he had been boiling.
Ppaek!
[Uncle, me!]
Black Torch, as if forgetting he had been crying just a moment ago, dashed toward Sejun at full speed. It was a speed befitting the legendary Black Rabbit. �
But,
What the, how did this little guy get so fast? He’s even faster than me now!
While Sejun was starting to feel a twinge of jealousy at Black Torch’s speed,
Ppiik!
Ppiyak!
Ppap!
The other Baby Rabbits belatedly ran toward Sejun as well.
Ah. This isn’t the time for that.
There was something more urgent now than feeling envious.
Winning over the Baby Rabbits with carrot candies!
“Black Torch, what’s Uncle’s name?”
Sejun asked Black Torch his name.
Ppyak!
[Park Sejun!]
“Good. Here you go.”
Sejun handed over a shiny, sugar-coated carrot to Black Torch, who had answered correctly.
Ppaek!
Black Torch received the carrot and happily moved to the side, and the next Baby Rabbit held out both front paws, ready to receive a carrot.
“What’s my name?”
Ppap!
[Park Sejun!]
The next Baby Rabbit, Fatty, answered without hesitation. As expected of the youngest of the gluttonous family of Cart Rabbits.
“Good. Here you go.”
Ppap!
[Thank you!]
After Fatty received his carrot candy from Sejun
“What’s my name?”
Sejun asked the third Baby Rabbit the same question.
Ppiik...
Chairman Park Sejun has 2 horns on his head, and 8 arms...
The Baby Rabbit hesitated, unable to lie in response to Sejun’s question.
At that moment,
Crunch.
The sweet and delicious sound of sugar coating breaking as Black Torch and Fatty bit into their carrots was heard from the side, and
Ppiik!
What is this about?
When Sejun looked at Father Rabbit,
Please, just say that’s true!
He saw Father Rabbit sweating profusely and desperately pleading with his eyes.
While bragging to the Baby Rabbits, Papa Rabbit had added a few(?) lies to make himself look better.
So you can plead with your eyes too, huh?
Realizing something new, Sejun decided,
“Ah. I forgot. Back then, I was starving for a long time when Father Rabbit appeared with green onions. Thanks to that, my situation improved greatly.”
To cover for Father Rabbit, Sejun lied for him.
Grandpa’s words were true!
Our Grandpa’s green onions saved Chairman Park!
Grandpa really taught Chairman Park how to farm!
Thanks to this, the Baby Rabbits began admiring Father Rabbit.
The story then transitioned to the part where Sejun and the Rabbit couple met, had Baby Rabbits, and met Sweetie.
“So, Father Rabbit and I worked hard to convince them...”
Ppiik?! Ppiik?
[Wait! Isn’t this the part where Grandpa fought the Poisonous Queen Bee one-on-one for everyone?]
Zing.
You abandoned me and ran away back then!
Sejun glared at Father Rabbit.
Please...
Father Rabbit desperately begged again with his eyes.
“Ahem. Father Rabbit fought bravely and saved us.”
Sejun decided to forgive him one more time.
Although Father Rabbit’s lies kept surfacing, creating crises, Sejun endured them well.
However,
Ppiyak?!
[Then is it true that when Sejun-nim knelt before the mighty Black Dragon and begged for his life, Grandpa appeared and saved you?!]
Another lie from Father Rabbit, peeled away layer by layer.
How much did you lie about this?!
Zing.
Sejun stared intently at Father Rabbit, scolding him with his gaze.
Please...
Father Rabbit pleaded with his eyes once more.
“Ahem. Actually, I didn’t kneel completely. My knees were about 1cm above the ground.”
Sejun compromised by admitting part of Father Rabbit’s lie, while protecting the last shred of his pride.
At that moment,
Ppap?
[Then is it true that Grandpa made Sejun-nim’s face handsome?]
Fatty raised their front paw and asked.
“What?!”
Made me handsome?!
This, I can’t let slide!
As Sejun was about to blow up and expose everything,
“I can’t stay silent, meow! Fixing Chairman Park’s ugly face to make it less ugly was me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”
Theo, snapping first, shouted indignantly.
And so, Father Rabbit’s lies were finally exposed.
Grandpa lied?!
This threw the Baby Rabbits into confusion.
Waaaah! Grandpa is a liar?!
Some Baby Rabbits even began to sniffle, on the verge of crying.
“Alright, everyone, pay attention! I’ll show you something amazing now!”
Sejun quickly diverted the Baby Rabbits’ attention to stop them from crying.
If he didn’t calm them down quickly, their crying could spread like wildfire among the group.
Then,
Ppiik?
Ppiik?
As the Baby Rabbits paused their tears momentarily,
“Look at this!”
Sejun quickly tossed some Stamina Corn into a pot and started making popcorn.
Pop-pop-pop! Pop-pop-pop!
The sound of popping corn, coupled with its savory aroma, filled the air. The sight of the kernels bursting was,
Wow!
Amazing!
It smells so yummy!
More than enough to captivate the Baby Rabbits.
“Crop Gigantification.”
Sejun seized the moment to use his skill to enlarge some carrots.
“Vice Chairman Theo, please make large carrot cups.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
He had Theo make carrot cups to hold the popcorn.
A little while later,
“Alright. Listen carefully while you eat, okay? Grandpa and I seem to have remembered things a little weirdly. Let me quickly tell you the truth again.”
Sejun began correcting Father Rabbit’s lies and restarted the story.
“Yes!!!”
The Baby Rabbits, holding carrot cups brimming with popcorn in their arms, listened to Sejun’s words.
Crunch. Crunch.
Most of them, however, were too focused on eating popcorn to pay attention.
As Sejun continued his story,
Ppaek. Ppaek.
[Grandpa, it’s okay. They say old people naturally start forgetting things.]
Black Torch tried to console Father Rabbit, but Father Rabbit didn’t seem happy at all.
And,
I’m not old!
Neither was Sejun, who was also treated as an old person.
***
Outskirts of Destruction.
Ssssssrsss.
Hydra and Leviathan began shedding their skin.
