My Dad Is Too Strong

The sky of the Spirits is colored in pastel tones.

A space that makes you feel like a fairy tale.

The wind blew, and the grass moved along.

a double room

A lower spirit flies over the field.

She looked around and looked for something.

It was because of homework given by the Spirit School.

Homework that tells you to find something called 'happiness'.

.......

The school said.

Happiness is said to be warm and cozy, and a smile is built because of its good mood, but I wondered if such an object existed in the world.

Mmm.

The lower spirit closed its eyes, leaving it to its body in the wind, to rest for a while.

a leisurely weekend

아침을 두둑하게 먹은 별이는 거실 한 켠에서 작동되고 있는 전기난로를 향해 걸어갔다. 주홍빛깔이 감도는, 뜨겁게 달아오른 발열체에 앞에 서면 느껴지는 따스한 기운. 별이는 전기난로가 퍽 신기했던 모양인지 난로의 근처를 요리조리 돌아다녔다.

"이 개 모 지?"

"난로라고 한단다."

"글 쿠 나."

한창 궁금할 것이 많은 시기.

"따뜻해."

별이는 이내 앉아서 꾸벅꾸벅 졸기 시작했고.

Dojun, who was reading, rose from his seat and dropped the stove a little so that the baby wouldn't hit his head on the stove, then returned to his seat.

Dojun was thinking about what to make for dinner tonight.

Since it's winter, hot soup would be good.

I'll have to shop at the market tonight.

"I have to be back by 3 o'clock to go to the market with my dad. Do you understand?"

Helping Byul get ready to go out after playing outside, Dojun said.

It snowed today and it was quite chilly, so I dressed him with a long padded jacket. At least the total length did not exceed 60 centimeters, but when Byul wore it, it looked just right down to her knees.

Dojun even put earplugs on Byul and secretly filled her purse with 5,000 won.

When Byul said she was going to the market, she smiled brightly and nodded loudly.

***

A lower-level decree occurred that had fallen asleep.

However, when I looked around, I could see a strange environment.

A world covered with white snow, not in the usual pastel tones.

The lower spirit realized that this was the earth, which it had only heard of, and immediately decided to go back to the spirit world, but then quit. Maybe, because I thought I could find happiness here.

At that moment.

I could see someone walking in from the alley entrance to the alley.

It was a human baby. No, it felt a little different to be human.

Pure and clear energy, which is rare even in the spirit world, was detected.

Hello?

Greetings.

The baby blinked at him.

And then he came closer and looked at himself.

With a smile, he replied, "Woong!"

"Hot!"

Byul recently recalled what her teacher taught her at a daycare center.

When you meet someone you've never seen before, it's polite to introduce yourself first!

For this moment, I took out the self-introduction card I had written at the daycare center from my wallet and started reading it out loud and clear.

"Hello, new yo. I'm a rice girl. I am 3 years old. Chwi-mi is a dog. The place where Jae-ga lives is Seo-ul-teuk-byul-si, Seo-cho-gu, Bang-bae-dong, Chang-shin, Villa 3, 01, I'm Nida. You're Lee Reum. You're a rice cake vs. a bird?"

Byul who read it to the end without making a mistake in pronunciation.

At the moment, I was so happy that I clasped my hand. Ever since I wrote my self-introduction card, I've been practicing every day and night.

I see. But, I don't have a name......... you can call me the lower spirit.

The lower spirits spoke calmly.

At that moment, Byul became a little sad.

It's sad not to have a name.

Don't worry too much. Because the lower order doesn't have a name.

"...gle Ku Na."

Byul dropped her head.

The lower spirit stared at such a star.

Can you help me?

I'm looking for happiness.

Byul went out into town with the lower spirits.

And stopped in front of a bookstore because I could see Kiriel through the window. Kiriel was reading a comic book in front of the shelves of the bookshelf. There was a mountain of comic books next to Kiriel, and his expression was very bright.

Dangling.

The star entering the bookstore.

"Key Lee Ae!"

"Oh! Baby!"

When Kiriel found Byul, he put down the comic book and approached the baby and touched his cheek. Byul blinked her eyes, showing no response. But as Cyriel didn't let go of Byul's cheeks, and continued to wriggle like a toy, the star's eyes began to flutter.

"I'm not going to paddle my noodles! Whoooooooooo-hoo!

Kiriel quitted the blush with a giggle.

"What are you doing here?"

"Watering 찯 주 잇 져 잇 ." ." ."."."

1" Which one? I'll find it for you."

"Haengbok, it's "Haengbok."

Kiriel scratched his head and stared at the lower spirit.

Happiness is a very abstract thing, not a thing to refer to.

Then the lower spirit said, pointing to the comic book Kiriel was holding.

Is that happiness?

Kiriel pondered for a moment and nodded.

"It's happiness for this body."

The lower order stroked the comic book.

But it was neither warm nor cozy to be happy.

I don't think this is right.

After that, Byul and the Lower Spirit roamed the city and met many people.

The lower order looked for warm, cozy, and pleasing objects, but could not find anything to match.

***

"Huh?"

Dojun could see someone following in with Byul.

It was a spirit. From its size and appearance, I realized at once that it was a lower order.

When the lower spirits saw Do-jun, they greeted him with a clap. Dojun's presence in the spirit world was already so famous. He was close to King Jeongnyeong and Ragheim because they were as close as Ragheim.

Hi.

Dojun gave me a smile.

"Yes."

3 p.m.

Dojun was about to go to the market to shop for dinner.

Get up after wearing a coat on top of the sweater you are wearing.

"Would you like to go to the market with me?"

Market?

"It's a place that sells things."

The lower spirits briefly troubled.

Is there happiness in there?

Dojun, who visited Dongdaemun Market for the first time in a long time, walked along the market path.

a crowded market The lower order flew by Dojun's side and captured the scenery in his eyes. Food ingredients such as meat, fish, vegetables and salted fish were mixed together, with a unique scent hovering around the nose. However, I didn't hate it. It's just amazing.

"Hello."

"Yes! Welcome!"

The first place I visited was a wholesale store that handled meat.

Despite the cold weather, a middle-aged man wearing short sleeves welcomes her.

Byul's eyes glistened when she realized that beef was going in this evening. The owner of the store saw a star like that.

"Your daughter is so cute!"

"Thank you."

Dojun grinned.

"Can I have 300 grams of sirloin for shabu-shabu?"

"Yes!"

The shopkeeper took out the chilled meat and weighed it on the scale.

Byul hopped in place and told the shopkeeper who was packing Korean beef sirloin.

"Bam Lee So Go Gi Jo Ah Ha!"

When the shopkeeper heard that.

Poo-ha! Laughing.

"Your daughter's skills are not average. Now, I'll put in a lot of meat especially for you!"

The shopkeeper put up another 200 grams.

Dojun patted Byul's head.

"Thank you, you should."

Byul said her navel.

"Don't you dare!"

"You're so cute. What's your name?"

"Bam Lee Ae-yo."

Dojun smiled.

.......

The lower order is at a slight distance.

The picturesque scene was captured in one's eyes.

Look around. Come to think of it, the faces of the people I saw as I walked through the market were full of laughter.

***

I bought all the ingredients for the beef mushroom jeongol.

The ingredients for jeongol alone have been well over six varieties.

Meat, mushroom, tofu, green onion, glass noodles, zucchini, etc. Before I knew it, Do-joon had a load of luggage in his hand. If I were alone, it would have been only half the burden, but I could get a lot of service thanks to the great love of Byul from the market merchants.

"Hello, my dog, yo!"

"Hahahaha. Come again, come again!"

Before going back home.

I bought two steamed buns at a store called Hometown Steamed Bread.

Byul took a steamed bun in her hands and began to munch on it as she blew it.

Dojun looked at the lower spirits and tore off some steamed buns.

"Come on, try it."

.......

The lower order received a steamed bun.

Although Dojun tore it into small pieces, it was larger than the face of a lower spirit.

The lower spirit touched the steamed bread and took a bite.

It seems quite palatable.

"Don't eat too much because I'm going to have dinner."

Back home, Dojun washed Byul and the lower spirits and began preparing for dinner.

Byul took the lower spirits to the front of the electric fire. The first stage was set, so a moderately warm temperature warmed the lower spirit's body.

Boiling, bubbling.

The lower spirit looked at the kitchen.

Dojun was boiling hot pot with the ingredients he bought from the market.

The white steam rises in the ventilator. In addition, there was a delicious smell on the tip of my nose.

"Come to dinner."

white rice

beef mushroom hot pot

cabbage kimchi and various side dishes

Dojun served a small plate for the lower spirits, cutting it into bite-sized pieces, and putting the whole bone in it.

.......

a warm family

warm soup

The lower court quickly ate all the bones that Dojun had on his plate.

It was cozy. I felt better. The lower order was unknowingly embarrassed by the feeling it had never experienced before. I didn't think the corners of my mouth would come down.

"Was it delicious?"

......yes.

"You can come whenever you want to eat again."

Anytime?

"Then."

Dojun's one word sounded so cozy.

It occurred to me that the lower order might be happiness.

"Oh, and...…."

***

Ragheim was concurrently the head of a school in the spirit world.

Recently, she gave homework to lower spirits to bring 'happiness' and was slowly looking at the happiness brought by the spirits one by one.

"Lastly..."... Diary?"

Unlike other lower spirits, it was a little unusual.

Ragheim read what was written on the paper.

"Oh, my."

A lower-level spirit unraveled what had happened on Earth.

Meeting Byul and wandering around the city. Going to a place called the market and buying dinner ingredients, eating steamed buns, enjoying the stove, taking a bath and having a delicious dinner on the way back to Dojun's house.

What's more important is.

"......you gave me a name?"

Dojun to the lower spirits.

I named her 'Sayren.'

Ragheim, with his chin in his hand, read the diary once again.

A smile spread around her mouth.

Sayren is.

It means 'happiness' in the language of the spirit world.
