Chapter 298: Webtoon Special Edition – Extra 10 Corin and His Children (3)

The prestigious fencing family of the east of the continent, Arden.

This lineage, famous for protecting the kingdom’s border and for producing exceptional swordsmen, was for a long time the place where the absolute authority of the Sword Emperor Garand Arden reigned without dispute.

But they say that when one sun sets, another rises.

After the Sword Emperor Garand Arden, it was his two granddaughters who inherited that glory.

The Swordmaster Lunia Arden.

Current head of the Arden family and wife of the great hero Corin Loch.

The Demon Sword Alisha Arden.

Second daughter of the Arden family and a bastard.

Even so, she completed the Dominion Slash of the Arden style of Garand Arden and the Heavenly Sword, becoming a Demon Sword and the wife of the great hero Corin Loch.

That’s right.

Although a bastard, both were legitimate sisters, and both were wives of the great hero of the War of the Sun, Corin Loch.

If someone had seen it, they surely would have shouted something like, “He married two sisters?! Damn insane womanizer!”, but if they later found out that there were seven more wives, they would probably have just fallen silent, filled with rage.

At the time, even Sophia Arden, the matriarch of the family, went so far as to start a hunger strike to oppose that marriage, and no one knew how it would end.

However, everything was resolved in an absurd way when both sisters committed exactly the same “calendar mistake”.

So, what became of those sisters after that?

“Kids, are you ready?”

Lusha Arden, Lunia Arden’s eldest daughter. 5 years old.

“Yes! Today is an important day!”

Aria Arden, Alisha Arden’s eldest daughter. 5 years old.

“Big sisters! You forgot this! Wait a moment!”

Airi Arden, Lunia Arden’s second daughter. 4 years old.

“Hurry up, Airi! If not, we’ll wake up dad and the moms!”

Kanta Arden, Alisha Arden’s eldest son. 4 years old.

“Pa!”

Jonathan Arden, Lunia Arden’s eldest son. 3 years old.

“Mom, give me fooood.”

Meiri Arden, Alisha Arden’s third daughter. 3 years old.

“Cha! Cha!”

Adrian Arden, Lunia Arden’s second son. 2 years old.

“Pa-pa-cha?”

Lucia Arden, Alisha Arden’s third daughter. 2 years old.

“Waa!”

Celine Arden, Lunia Arden’s third daughter. Newborn.

“Waa!”

Raul Arden, Alisha Arden’s second son. Newborn. (T/N: Bro literally wants to complete a soccer team with his kids.)

A total of ten children gathered in one place.

The Arden family, so close-knit they looked ready to form a sports team, had gathered for one clear reason.

“Today is Mama Alisha’s birthday! Did everyone prepare properly?”

At Lusha’s words, Lunia’s eldest daughter, all the siblings nodded at the same time.

Of those ten, six hadn’t even finished babbling yet.

In practice, the ones who had seriously prepared the second mom’s birthday were Lusha and Airi, Lunia’s daughters, and Aria and Kanta, Alisha’s children.

The four of them, carrying their younger siblings or holding them by the hand, advanced toward their parents’ bedroom with the gifts they had prepared.

The parents’ bedroom in the Arden house was the largest and most luxurious room.

Walking with determined steps across the wooden floor, the children stopped in front of the door and looked at each other with restrained smiles.

“Hehe, will mom be surprised?”

“I’m sure she’ll like it! Let’s do the same later for dad and Mama Lunia!”

Today was Mama Alisha’s birthday.

Ironically, even Lunia’s children felt closer to Alisha than to the strict Mama Lunia.

Because she was sweeter, kinder, and more “approachable”.

In any case, the children gathered to congratulate their favorite mom began counting excitedly in front of the door.

“One.”

“Two.”

“Three!”

“Mama Alisha! Happy birthday!”

The door flew open.

And what they saw was—

“……”

“……”

“……”

The bedroom.

That is, the conjugal space.

The Arden family’s bedroom was designed for three people, with a spacious room and an enormous bed.

After six years of marriage, an absurdly close couple that had had a child every year—what could they be doing together in their bedroom?

What the children, full of innocence, witnessed was Corin, Alisha, and Lunia naked, holding each other, about to do something.

“Ah, ah……”

“A, aaah……”

“Eh?! W-wait… kids? No, this is…!”

“W-what?! Wait! No! One moment!”

“Hm… I suppose not being able to properly close the sliding door was the mistake.”

After a few seconds frozen in place, as if a domain had been deployed, the children reacted all at once.

“Aaaah!”

“Aaaah!”

“Aaaah!”

“Kids, wait! It’s a misunderstanding! Nothing happened!”

“Nothing happened! We were just fighting!”

“Alisha, do you really think that’s going to work?”

“For heaven’s sake, sister, stop.”

“Unni, now is not the time for that!”

The children, still screaming, dropped the gifts they had brought and ran off.

When they disappeared, the only thing left in front of the three adults were the crushed gift boxes, abandoned on the floor.

***

“Shhh.”

“What do we do? ¡Corin-ssi?!”

Something serious happened.

Just as we were about to consummate, the kids caught us.

“Of all possible moments! Why did they have to come in right then?! When we were about to do that!”

“They didn’t see anything, right? We were covered by the sheet—they couldn’t have seen we were about to do that, right?!”

“You two. Just say sex. Luckily it wasn’t during sex. They caught us right before.”

“Unnie! Please! This is so embarrassing!”

“Nuna! At least say ‘marital relations’ or something softer! I’m scared the kids will hear!”

Fearing the children might return, we dressed in a frantic rush.

It was the traditional clothing prepared in Arden, but we had no head for following protocols.

We threw it on haphazardly and ended up looking like total wrecks.

“Ah, Corin-ssi. Your whole chest is showing.”

“You too, Alisha.”

“You two. As I already told you twice cover those kiss marks properly.”

While we were getting dressed, Lunia was calmly lighting her long pipe.

‘Why is this nuna so calm?’

“Lunia nuna. Why are you so relaxed?”

“Well, the kids already know what they need to know.”

“They know nothing! The oldest is only five! They have no idea we were doing that!”

“Just say sex already.”

This nuna is going to drive me insane!

“Calm down, you two. Little sister Hua Ran until recently believed that holding hands made a baby appear brought by the stork. Do you think the kids are any different? We were just holding hands and sleeping.”

“Naked?”

“Sleeping naked in bed is perfectly normal.”

Fuck, will that work? Doesn’t Lunia nuna have a point?

‘We were covered by the bed, right? All they saw was our bare torsos, a position like I was about to insert something, and a sweaty man and woman hugging.’

“Wrestling! Yes, Alisha! Wrestling! Your idea was brilliant!”

“R-really? If it’s wrestling, being a bit naked isn’t weird!”

“You two. I’m saying it for the third time do you really think that’s going to fly?”

“Unnie, why are you so chill!!”

After snapping that at Lunia, we washed our faces dry and collapsed.

“This is the worst. The absolute worst. We showed them the worst possible image as parents.”

“Alisha… you don’t have parents…”

“Corin-ssi, want a punch?”

“At least you’re better off. I’ve seen this
twice.”

“Seriously?”

“With my Earth parents and the ones here…”

“Ah…”

Why do parents always get caught doing that by their kids?

“Did unnie never see your parents doing it?”

“How could I?”

“Why not?!”

“When I was growing up, because of you my parents were practically separated. There was no atmosphere for them to have good-roll relations.”

“Ah…”

The Arden family had a massive family crisis when the previous patriarch, Gerard Arden, brought home Alisha, the illegitimate daughter born from his affair.

Though it was a political marriage and they didn’t divorce, the relationship between the two sank to rock bottom, and in that environment Lunia practically raised Alisha on her back.

Lunia barely saw any affectionate moments from her parents in that cold relationship, and for Alisha, Lunia was practically her mother, so obviously she never saw anything like that.

“What do we do? How do we explain it to the kids…?”

“Alisha. Corin. Both of you, calm down. We’re at a crossroads.”

“A crossroads?”

“A crossroads about what kind of parents we’re going to be.”

Lunia, ever the adult, continued explaining in a firm voice.

“From the children’s point of view, our sex—”

“Don’t say sex.”

“…our marital relations might seem strange and even scary. But sex—”

“Don’t say sex!”

“…marital relations—are they something dirty and terrifying like the kids might misunderstand?”

“No, of course not.”

“That’s right, unnie! Marital relations are sacred! A sublime moment to conceive children!”

“I… don’t think they need to be that
sublime.”

“Corin-ssi, shut up! Pervert!”

I turned into a mute.

‘You were burning up just a while ago too.’

“Anyway, even if it’s a bit early, let’s think of it as early education and give the kids sex ed. We explain that marital relations aren’t dirty or terrifying, but something sublime and necessary.”

In short, she’s proposing parent-led early sex education!

“Good idea, unnie!”

“Yes! We have to explain to the kids that doing that isn’t dirty!”

Looking back now it was a fucking stupid idea.

“Hic! Hic!”

“Buaaaaa!”

Meanwhile, the kids who had witnessed their parents’ shocking tangle were in shock and crying their eyes out.

“Buaaaaa!”

“Nunas, stop crying.”

“Why are you so calm?!”

“Let him be. Kanta still doesn’t know what papa and mamas were doing.”

Hearing the big sisters, the second son Kanta got mad.

“I know too! Papa and mamas were doing the sublime act to make babies!”

“My God, Kanta! Shut that mouth!”

“Dirty! Dirty!!”

While Lusha and Aria couldn’t hide their horror, Lunia’s second daughter Airi cautiously asked.

“And how do you make babies?”

“Duh, Airi, you don’t even know that? If papa and mama hold hands tight and sleep hugged, the stork brings the baby. Mama Hua taught me, so it’s true.”

“Ah, right! Papa and mamas were waiting for the stork to bring the baby!”

The five-year-old twins didn’t know what to say to their four-year-old siblings’ answer.

They didn’t want to admit even under torture that their sex knowledge came from a
romance movie they accidentally watched.

The cultural products brought from Earth were having a slightly bad influence on the kids’ early education.

“But why were papa and mamas naked?”

To Airi’s question, Kanta answered.

“Weren’t they competing to see who gets the baby from the stork first? Since there are three mamas, if the stork brings only one baby, only one gets it. They were deciding with wrestling.”

“Ah, right!”

The twins were about to lose their minds, but the conversation between the second son and second daughter continued.

“But don’t we have too many babies already? Two more every year.”

“Mmm…”

Just siblings nine. A big family of ten in total.
That alone was headache enough, and on top of that there were multiple mamas.

“Mama Marie has two more besides Deokgu hyung.”

“Mama Hua Ran only has one.”

“There’s also mama Estelle and mama Erin.”

“I… still can’t remember all the family names…”

Having too good a relationship is a problem, but having so many mamas is also a problem.

“Aunt Shia is pregnant again, right? Which uncle this time?”

“They don’t know yet. But don’t storks bring babies? What’s being pregnant?”

“Duh. When the stork is busy, mamas incubate the egg with the baby inside.”

“Ah, right!”

While the absurd conversation between the second son and daughter went on, the older twins frowned remembering their parents’ image.

“Papa with mama Alisha from behind like an animal…”

“Just like in the romance movie.”

“But in the movie there was only one woman.”

“That’s because papa is a womanizer.”

“Ugh, so dirty…”

Whether they cared or not, time passed, and the three caught in that got dressed as best they could and gathered the kids.

“Starting now…! Family meeting!”

“Everyone hurry!”

“It’s sex ed time, little ones.”

Morning witnessing parents’ that.

Afternoon hearing from parents that that isn’t bad.

Another peaceful day in the Arden house.
