The Returner

5. Mom, daughter-in-law (2)

“Jihyuk.”

“Yes, Mom. ”

“Mom's asking who that is. ”

“Uh-huh.”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

It was awkward to tell other people, but I felt stuffy because I wanted to talk to my mother.

How am I supposed to explain this?

Mother.

My son's wife actually lived in this world for a long time, and now she's carrying around a lot?

I was lucky if I didn't get hit by a cute hammer and wander around the road right now.

“Hnng.”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

“What's the matter? ”

Mother's voice suddenly asks, not knowing anything, sounds like the devil's whisper.

Oh, there's the Demon King right behind me, and the mother in front of me is even more awkward.

The joke became no joke.

“Mom, the truth is! ”

Lee Hyuk who had the courage lifted his head and said.

“Mom, daughter-in-law. ”

Park Sun-deok smiled and nodded.

“Yes, yes. ”

“… for real. ”

“Yeah, that's funny. Can you explain to me what you're doing now? ”

Blood stains were rising from her forehead.

Lee Hyuk instinctively stepped back.

‘Mom... I think you're upset. ’

As usual, I could see my mom who would break her back first and then consciously and endure other people's eyes.

If this were a house, Lee Hyuk's back would be on fire by now.

Mother's back smashing, which is increasingly destructive, caused Lee Hyuk to seriously consider whether Mana should be spent on defense.

I was worried that my mother would be awakened to her abilities, so I asked her what to do.

‘If we go on like this, we won't end up in a room with our backs set. ’

What Lee Hyuk cared about most when he came back to Earth was not the gate, not the Demon King, but Mother's mood.

When my mom was in a bad mood, I didn't even touch her favorite game.

For Lee Hyuk, Mother was just as frightened.

“Mom, don't get me wrong. ”

“Yes, tell me. ”

“I know this may sound like a joke... ”

“Yes.”

“This isn't a joke. ”

“Yes.”

“So, Mom... I know it's awkward and awkward to hear... ”

“Yes."

Lee Hyuk smiled awkwardly and pointed to Herkana.

“This is your mother-in-law. ”

“ ……. ”

Mother had a loving smile.

Oh, my proud son.

Well done, well done. Where did you go to bite such a pretty daughter-in-law?

Without saying anything, she approached Lee Hyuk and stroked his back.

“Mom?"

Lee Hyuk's voice trembled.

Why, etc.

How do you feel when you're petting your whole body?

Lee Hyuk secretly empowered his back and prepared for the next shock.

However, Park Sun-deok was experienced. Park Sun-deok, who noticed that his back muscles were moving subtly, grabbed his son's ear that was exposed to defenselessness.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch! Mom!"

“You, son of a bitch? What? My daughter-in-law?”

“Mom! Ow! Mom, get your ears off me! Ear! ”

“Daughter-in-law? Come on, yeah! My wish was to see my daughter-in-law. I've fulfilled my mother's wishes... and now I'm being nice! ”

“I'm not being nice, I'm deaf! Mom! Ear! ”

“Die! Just! Just fucking die! ”

Others saw the scene and said nothing.

Here…….

There were the best in the world.

“So... ”

Park Sun-deok was half-mad when he saw Erkana sitting somewhere on the couch.

No matter how much I listened and listened, I couldn't understand.

The word came in with my ears, but I felt like I was leaving without being able to interpret it in my head.

“So, this is my daughter-in-law? ”

Lee Hyuk shakes his head with a subtle expression.

“Well, it's hard to explain... but I'm also a daughter-in-law, and I'm not. ”

Park Sun-deok smiled softly.

“Ji-hyuk?”

“Huh?"

“It's hard for me to explain, but I may or may not kill you. ”

“... Help me, Mom. ”

The tension that you might actually die sweeps through your whole body.

“I don't know what's going on here, but I can't accept anything that doesn't exist. Where did you go and get married? Is that going to happen without sheep's consent? I can't admit it. ”

“Mother!"

Jung Jeong-min shouted, "Long live."

Of course it is.

I've been in this house for so long, I can't ignore myself and admit to marrying a demon with no such roots!

Did you see, Demon King?

This is Korea's mother-in-law!

If I get caught in the Sea World, I'll just be the Demon King and break my back.

“And you. ”

Park Sun-deok stared at Herkana and said.

“I don't know who lives in which country.... ”

Park Sun-deok was so lucky that he looked back at Lee Hyuk.

While others didn't know the language, Lee Hyuk understood Park Sun-deok's gaze.

“I get it, Mom. Just tell me."

“Hmmm.”

Oh, Korean.

Others understood and nodded.

“Marriage here isn't the only thing you like about it. Family meets family. I don't know what happened, but if you want to marry our Ji-hyuk, let's talk about it with manners and formality. ”

Perfect.

Choi Jung-hoon nodded.

It was a complete refusal not to lose dignity.

There's no way that Erkana, who doesn't know the Korean marriage culture, can understand Park Sun-deok's reaction.

At that moment, Erkana wakes from her seat.

“Huh?"

Everyone was surprised and looked at Herkana.

Whoo-hoo!

Then Herkana shakes her hand and opens the subspace.

“Hehe!”

Choi Jung-hoon woke up in his place, and Seo Ah-young blocked Park Sun-deok's front.

The Demon King doesn't know what he's doing.

But I can't believe I'm going to wreak havoc in Lee Hyuk's house...

“Huh?"

Seo Ah-young's eyes widened.

Tuck!

Everyone's eyes shake as Erkana looks at the items taken from the sub-space.

I thought nothing would surprise me. But this was an unimaginable object.

“… What, what is this? ”

“Strictly.”

“Huh?"

“It's Mom, Mom. ”

“Oh, he doesn't pronounce well. ”

“... To be honest, it's a gift. Birkin diamond Himalayas. Milan Edition.”

“What, what? ”

“Gift.”

Park Sun-deok's eyes shook.

Gifts.

A gift?

In front of Park Sun-deok's eyes, there was an enormous shaped handbag that appeared at first glance to express in luxurious words, or even words like that.

That reckless son of a bitch didn't buy me a bag of money while he was making a fortune!

The bags I ordered the other day also shook my heart and my heart fluttered, so I finally returned them. No matter how much money he made, the bag was too expensive because Park Sun-deok, who had lived as a middle class all his life, digested it.

Park Sun-deok, who couldn't sleep all night, was forced to return the bag with tears in his eyes.

But…….

“This, this……. ”

Park Sun-deok eventually asked me not to ask.

“How much is this? ”

“Mom!"

“Mother!"

Lee Hyuk and Jung-min shouted at the same time.

“Oh, no, I came here as a gift, but how much.... ”

Even if I didn't have eyes for luxury goods, I could tell.

This bag in front of you is different in size.

“Not long. It's my heart.I was taught it's not polite to visit my in-laws empty-handed. ”

“Oh, my God, you got your education right. ”

“Where are you going to get a home education without her parents? ”

Park Sun-deok quietly reached out his hand to Lee Hyuk.

“Even children without parents are properly educated and polite, and you talk without knowing where your mom is. When that frown swells like a duck, will the manners of going out of the house come back? ”

“I'm sorry."

Lee Hyuk frowned on the couch.

Park Sun-deok turns his head again and looks at Herkana.

Unlike before, her eyes soften as she looks at Herkana.

Mother!

Jung Jeong-min's heart burned.

I can't believe that fox is suddenly a bag!

It was not unusual at first sight.

“… I heard it's been a long time since I came to Earth, but I was wondering where I was……. ”

Lee Hyuk shook his head excitedly.

I never thought I'd bring something like that.

You went all the way to Milan and then to the States?

“How did you come up with this? Incredibly.”

“I learned.”

“To whom?"

“In a book.”

“A book?”

Herkana opens the sub-space without a word, and puts her hand in and pulls out a few books.

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon's pupil was shaken looking at the title of the book.

This is it!

< I'm from Vietnam. >

< Understanding and Practicing Multicultural Assumptions. >

< Easy to know Korean in-laws. >

“Multicultural! ”

Seo Ah-young was frightened and yelled.

No, well, technically, it's multicultural. It is also multicultural in both Mai and Korea.

But isn't this going in a different direction?

I don't think it's multicultural.

At that moment, Herkana opens her mouth again.

“Erkana is far from home. It's different here, but I want to be pretty. I'll work hard on the ercanas. ”

“Phrase.”

Park Sun-deok's eyes became moist.

This is getting weird?

Lee Hyuk shouted urgently.

“Oh, Mom, that's not it! ”

“You be quiet. ”

“Mom!"

“I told you to be quiet? ”

Lee Hyuk was deformed again.

Park Sun-deok lightly suppressed Lee Hyuk's rebellion and gave a warm look to Herkana.

“Yes, how hard it is. Come to this far-off country. ”

No, Mom. That's not it!

What a far-off country!

Oh, yeah?

Is it a faraway country?

To put it bluntly, it's farther than any other country on Earth...

This is a bit of a rebuttal.

“Yes, you're married to Ji-hyuk? ”

“Yes, mom. ”

“I don't like this guy. He followed me all this way. Poor thing.”

Hold on, Mom.

She's the Demon King.

You may be able to write "pity" to everyone in the world, but you can't do that to her!

And what a drill!

Is he from Vietnam?

What a warm multicultural home broadcast situation!

“Mom! She's the Demon King! ”

“The Demon King?”

“Oh, Mom. You don't know the Demon King. He's like the most famous king in the Magic Cube... ”

“... So he's a princess in his own country, and he left everything to see you? ”

Is that how it's gonna be?

No, that's... subtle. Something else?

And you think he's right?

“Did I raise you that way? If that's the case, let's get him home and take care of him! ”

“Th-that's why I brought her.... ”

But I told you to fuck off!

“Shut up!”

“I didn't say anything. ”

“Don't even think about it! ”

“Ugh, ugh. ”

“Okay, I don't know what's going on, but just think of it as my house, and get some rest. ”

“Yes, Mother. ”

“Yes, poor thing. ”

Park Sun-deok hugged Herkana.

It was a very warm situation on the outside.

But Mom...

Why is that hand touching your bag?

Why? Why?
