Chapter 296: Webtoon Special Edition – Extra 8 Corin and His Children (1)
Pa4w3After the fall of the magic tower of the Steel Islands, the mages became slaves and were subjected to forced labor in the Dunaleff salt flats.QQN
wA6xNKThose mages who in the past, as authorities of the tower, had received bags of gold coins for a single lesson were now called by incomprehensible nicknames like Chunsik and Daesik; such was the misery of their downfall.4Ka
5MivBut even for the Chunsik there was hope being reassigned as technical advisors to the newly founded magic tower, the Dunaleff Tower.0F0Hf
VFFJYGS“Oooh! Mr. Chunsik! We did it! We succeeded!”WRmu
AcDZ“With this, we’ll be able to get through this quarter…!”VToZNB
WtwPESThe Chunsik hugged one another, comforting each other.Zz12e5
dAXIn the past, they had been apprentices within the magic tower under a strict hierarchy, but now they were comrades sharing the same situation.oHK
7FKumEPerhaps, compared to the barren days of the tower, they were now far more full of humanity.ajoCCj
1VSo“With this, they won’t kick us out of the shared lodging!”X9dd6
5KX“We won’t have to go back to the 1.5-pyeong coffin beds!”7L50Sml
uduDEA“We’ll be able to keep eating something other than potatoes! Sniff, sniff!”fiGT4HR
ZMWjPhThat said, proportionally, their misery had increased about a hundredfold.SLY3SNM
TT6“Grr!”c16i
hvuAt that moment, upon hearing a familiar voice, all the Chunsik snapped to attention and saluted.bSY
rcu“Loyalty to Young Duke Deokgu!” [1]vMnKr8w
mpXL“Loyalty!”7mbn3
27hQ47CThe one who had visited the laboratory was none other than Deokgu.iOgk
DfaA magical creature born from the lineage of the Sun God Corin Loch and the mistress of the Dunaleff magic tower, Marie Dunaleff.eKs9iVM
ES8wmbRegarded de facto as Corin Loch’s firstborn, Deokgu, as always, appeared covered in luxury items from head to toe.5V3V
tj3uAi“T-to… everyone, install the translators!”3Swn
0fywDeokgu’s base form is that of a dog.QxC351
FO5tgVAs the familiar of a vampire, only Corin and Marie, with whom he shares blood directly, could understand his language.q9vL
A3qjOHowever, the Chunsik of the Dunaleff Tower had developed a translator capable of communicating with this magical creature, and as a reward they received a monthly supply of cheese potatoes.3kel
WMhgAE1“Grr! Grrr!”8z6UUz
TOS— Is the work going well, soldiers?Vyz4
BVTOT3“Yes! Of course!”MVMVcAV
sZfKE“We were just about to report the results!”9SaoX
eUsDo“Grr! Grrr!”legg9
3nmhz— Well done. How far have you progressed?AvU8
3qK8asWhat they were developing was an image receiver that the Deokgu Business Division of the Dunaleff Tower would launch. In other words, a television.9wJ
yqNBThe introduction of Earth-origin electronic devices, under Corin’s control, began with very basic black-and-white televisions, with the goal of gradually accumulating their own technology.3gIZ
fyapskHowever, when combined with magic, the speed of development was overwhelming.wNp8
PHznThis image receiver of the Deokgu Division was none other than a portable, full-color, real-time wireless reception device.PbW
sIujeThat is, a mobile phone.QHtjR
UUjh9R7“Yes! We believe that once we complete data accumulation and expand the infrastructure for the transmission network, we will be able to move into a revolutionary phase of practical application.”xrPE6cO
snlz“Grr! Grrr!”YkdI5
q29XXUS— Then, this quarter, an unprecedented business expansion will be possible. There will be no problems paying maintenance.BQ5wi
0sErwK“Exactly! Our Deokgu Division! For the glory of our great leader, peerless hero, Sun of the people! For the glory of the first descendant of Corin Loch, Lord Deokgu, we will devote ourselves body and soul!”YAOW8g
46322zx“—Grrr, hahaha!”TAcZiJt
xeEX3TxJust as Deokgu was feeling confident of victory, an unexpected guest appeared in the Deokgu Division of the Dunaleff Tower.NriMjn
SID63“Listening to weird flattery again.”jdde
hEAG— What?6XyS4
TezhIRecognizing the intruder’s voice, Deokgu turned around.0jpT
fgjSkin white as snow, red eyes. Dark brown hair, following her mother, tied back in a ponytail.0SLVpT
0OitKBut unlike her mother, rather than coldness or severity, her gaze was expressionless, bordering on indifference.4TUz
GpTAtWShe was a girl who looked to be in elementary school, but the intelligence she possessed surpassed that of many adults.HShb2wA
Oili9t— Did you come to see Mom?lPICcMG
K75Iqz“Our mom isn’t your mom.”cycC
PEdZ3— What do you mean, you brat?! Such disrespect to your older brother!Rqbhu1
xrk“If you want me to call you brother, stop bothering the bitches around the tower. You’re disgusting.”yJmITLu
gnQgYg— Park Hayeon!lOL4A
qITThat’s right. Her name was Park Hayeon.jJhE
BKEThe daughter born between Corin and Park Sirin, who currently went back and forth between the Dunaleff residence and the royal palace of El Ras.QMCEzfy
7fpEven so, she seemed to get along terribly with Deokgu, as every time they met they argued endlessly.tLqSYhi
B1D0G“Grr! Grrr!”iqEa
HFVkd“Shut up. Stop bothering the neighborhood dogs. Even Sister Ren avoids you when she sees you.”QMGNQjU
GNCZC0R“Grrr?!”SCVo
UF5Z— It’s a misunderstanding! Sister Ren is a woman who could become my mother!c0ulDn
yvw“Disgusting!”ynCGRB
lhRh2e0Leaving all that aside.cjQ
xtqDQFq‘How is it that she can understand him without a translator?’w4bH2Bg
wmfKi7Strangely enough, Corin’s children were able to communicate with Deokgu without any problem.HcjGLz
ba9rk19***P1i
X4w7kMOne of Corin Loch’s wives, Park Sirin, was often away.6n9
f1kU9Although no new demonic existences were being born after the War of the Sun, much of the demonic still remained scattered throughout the world.dTOXl
hAxSirin traveled constantly and often spent the night away, so naturally the care of Hayeon fell to the wives who stayed in one place.PclOcA
mZZx4Jv“Did you fight with your brother again?”OwRm
w8c“…..It wasn’t a fight.”TI0d
WiEjMarie Dunaleff scolded the sulking Park Hayeon.dbg
iRjdZ“He… he was the one who started it, mocking me and calling me a brat! And he’s only ten years old too!”mYmZ
IkiIr4Of course, for Deokgu, who had been two meters tall since birth, that was already late.614q
MVbvyL“If I had grown up like Mom, he wouldn’t dare look down on me like that…..”OhdTIc
EE6I6“Hehe, that was a decision your dad and your moms made together, so trust us and follow it.”kXWn
UAR9pFMarie, watching Hayeon complain like any other child her age, thought once again that their decision had been the right one.zctOA
mUFN‘The first time I saw her, she looked about five years old.’qOwxa3
sTnAnd that was after only half a year since her birth.kkF1
4DAwIt was accelerated growth made possible by Dannan blood, but now she finally looked appropriate for her age.DX4
KZTUP「Children should grow as children. Until they become adults, we will remove their divinity and raise them that way.」5eBO
6ET1hXWhen Corin obtained the divinity of the Sun God, he became a Dannan with divinity.SdbHYZG
rgZThe problem was his children.7jgqiK
WkxxCjJust looking at Park Hayeon, who had grown to look like a five-year-old in only half a year, made it obvious.TUZE2U0
46kSeHayeon, who had been brought from Earth together with Sirin, grew like other children thanks to her divinity being temporarily removed.wQX003D
hFnIaBecause of that, Park Hayeon, now seven years old, looked just about her age.1wj
FADaKwX“You’ll be entering the academy soon, so you need to learn how to get along with others.”zaeUlf5
QDD7vz“That… brother counts as a person too?”bwHB5x6
3HJW“Hey! I’m not speaking in biological terms!”G78gj
Oc5VDFrMarie scolded her sharply.hBjl
PRFHayeon tilted her head with a confused expression.ZL57XO
tvpFQ“But… do I really have to go to the academy?”Uiq
MuIxED“Why? Don’t you want to interact with children your age? You did fine in the kindergarten.”WMP1kMI
T6wW“They’re too childish.”RjhvT
cgxD“Ah…”8q6
RSEcIt wasn’t an incorrect observation.UMooL7n
OwNq1xWith her father’s blood and the extraordinary intelligence inherited from her mother, Hayeon already possessed a mind comparable to, or even superior to, that of an adult.NJwA
sQ1How could children her age not seem childish to her?WeXlY
e32‘Though seeing how she fights with Deokgu, she’s not exactly mature either.’lG7khsX
LbioITDid she inherit some of her mother’s combative temperament?nnFBH
GtXMarie recalled with a bitter smile how cold Park Sirin could be toward others, despite how gentle she was with her husband.VqRxG
x5NFFor someone known as the Great Mage of Justice, Sirin had quite a nasty personality.oPFwS
6mnG“Come on, make up with your brother and get along with him. And with the baby that’s going to be born.”gOLkCmN
ocYO5KcHayeon’s gaze settled on Marie’s belly.ga2
Nb7skThe bulge beneath the maternity clothes announced that the birth was near.TP0b
yQVlPUY“Yes… Mom Marie.”E4B9bq
DeWjw“Do you want to eat potatoes? I have sugar and salt!”JZls1
X2Q“I’m sick of potatoes…..”zoz4J7b
kIXz“Huh?!”oKV
sgkMarie suddenly felt uneasy, wondering if her potato-based early education had failed.CI3
H75***qMWv
0dA7qPark Hayeon, seven years old this year, was also in a bad mood today after being scolded.xtae2p
4YVWHayeon considered herself an adult.yorc9Ae
FNa5LoIn fact, her intelligence surpassed that of many adults, and her innate magical talent and Dannan body far exceeded those of ordinary humans.DZMV
6l5XVzInteracting with kindergarten children had already been torture, and now they were telling her she had to go to the academy.6Srx
XeCYJu0‘Couldn’t I just travel with Mom?’B2QppZ
X5Dc6f9Since coming to this world, the time they spent together had decreased, and the emptiness left by her mother was greater than she had expected.izVg
jIyWlEven though the other moms treated her well, it wasn’t the same as her biological mother.fvjYEeI
ZUc98‘I want to see Mom.’h1GAP
4rAkDMom was always traveling the world.LbjHsO
EbCuNNAs if something were chasing her, she rarely returned home.ixF9WB
7icjIt hadn’t been like that on Earth.sPHc6i
6wrLMom had always been by her side.nt990E
xg0When she caught a cold, she held her all day, as if she might break.g6tCs
26CZaou‘It was after Dad appeared. Dad changed Mom.’tMTz2
8l9AXEverything began that day, when Dad appeared on the island where she was with Mom.SM3B3Q
dvqk6dThat day, Dad hit Mom and hurt her.aR1
J78mJbAnd then, on his own, he kidnapped both of them and brought them to this world.UIQ
dhkL1g‘I hate everything. Dad, and the other moms too.’IYSU0
fvrIf someone asked her whether she truly hated them, she probably wouldn’t be able to answer easily.q0Qx
7UwulBut as a Dannan, perhaps she was simply going through that turbulent stage earlier than others.QsqH
knZIwmx“Hey, move.”fGIPyIu
yvEjA provocative voice addressed her while she was in a foul mood.yuhd
tz0Turning around, she saw a beautiful pink-haired girl frowning at her.wBBiw
EIwK“Don’t you know how to speak nicely?”V4msh
CKVsp“Yeah, you first. Did you fight with Brother Deokgu again? You’re not a fighting rooster, but you’re always picking fights.”zFZ
8ZRvkIt was Abigail, the second daughter of Estelle, now the Pope of the Church of the Sun that ruled the world.EkDJ
mP0YEs5If Deokgu was the older brother she constantly argued with, Abigail was a sister she flat-out didn’t get along with.PMnNNac
rE2Hayeon knew it.M8Dwe9h
yfoMiQThat pink-haired girl, adorable and beautiful like her mother, was actually a cruel demon.01Wlb
DMq28S“Because of you, everyone thinks Dad’s children have shitty personalities. That’s why the Vatican only uses me for propaganda.”U8tY
fXqThe Vatican was the institution of the Church of the Sun established in the Holy Kingdom of El Ras.zPM
kKny8“That’s because your mom is the leader of the Vatican.”iRN
GYd0VqY“And what about your mom, the Great Mage of Justice? Doesn’t she do anything?”byn
htCuCg8“…..”wqDU
R1kjzShe said that because she knew her mother almost never came back.avSvm
XDSThough two years younger, her way of speaking was extremely cunning.f9Zu8q
77mQD1bBut in the end, both of them were still children.uioFr
I11Even Deokgu often acted emotionally, so how could they be any different?EJ3
UgqPThe two acted on impulse.7YzPP
cIg3“Tell your mom to stop pocketing the offering money and putting up weird statues!”DjNP
0uhaSBL“What?! That’s for our own good! What’s wrong with putting up statues of Dad?! It’s way more constructive than your mom, who spends all day beating people up!”XWtbNj
hG5“She beats them because they deserve it!”TkwQHI
mqvAs the two divine descendants grew increasingly heated, the staff quietly approached a man.Q80C9
6UY“Chief Rark. What should we do?”mYvX
rKfRark, a former academy companion of the Sun God Corin Loch.xP3N
7RENow he was the head of research and development of the Dunaleff Tower, wielding more power than many directors and team leaders.ZNph
yFbTdZAll thanks to Corin.Gco
2BPpfvJIn other words, he was practically their “uncle.”JcgN
MKBj“Uf… what can we do? Deploy the shield and activate the security systems.”g3O
NBs“Aren’t… you going to separate them?”CIZOEY
iq3cJnC“Me? How?”a3EfU
mkn“You are… their uncle.”ejM
ciqNyxh“If it were an ordinary children’s fight, I’d stop it. Do you think this can be stopped?”1ZDrS8
TzqsIn an instant, the tower’s shield and defensive systems began to tremble.vztVm
JPZF58vHayeon and Abigail had moved into physical confrontation.5bAOJ2
gMJAnd they were using magic and divine power!SMGSaj

8PBUvY6And both sharing the power of the Sun God Corin Loch, the strongest being in the world.1sH97
ktcl8Their “girls’ fight” was no longer something adults could stop.COOhuWm
eZj“You’re dead!”2Qyvb

mWAvB6“Watch your mouth, crazy! No wonder you’re the daughter of a commoner!”S2EQMSn
yzeR“I’m the Great President of the Korean Empire!”jKh0
HP6iWatching the fight between a seven-year-old and a five-year-old, Rark wore a blank expression.V55j0Ee
a19“With just ten of these, we could conquer the world.”GfZ9l
cfrqqoAh, right—they already had.Ncf
2G3RMFThough it was an emotional fight, neither of them intended to back down.xutGYr1
IUO35SkThey knew that showing weakness would mean being ridiculed for life.VoGRHy
vJaZo8With childish minds taken to the extreme, they fought as if it were to the death—B8DN4
LSVi“Ah! Let go! Pulling my hair? That’s low! You really can’t deny your vulgar blood!”0ftyc
GFg9R“Hey! Your dad was a commoner too! And I’m the older sister!”upc4
tNP“An older sister should act like one! I carry the blood of the Princess of El Ras—Aaah!!”mWQD
NnbI2H7“Say you surrender, brat!”qK0dNU

PvN9HAs the fight descended into the most literal level of a childish brawl, Rark could only sigh.pLTzyx

t1WfThere were still many children who had yet to fully grow up.z8Ton
