Final Side Story 50

"Seah, what are you doing there?"

"M-Mom. Look at her!"

"Huh? Who?"

At Yoon Seah's shout, Seong Jiah, who came out of the cafe,

Looked at the person in front and scolded Yoon Seah.

"Why are you picking fights with random passersby? Really, a rank 1 player!"

"No. She looks exactly like me!"

"What on earth are you talking about? No. Really. If you don't want to go on a blind date, just say so. Don't be so rude!"

"Uh. Okay...? W-What are you saying. Mom. How does she look to you?"

"Huh? Uh..."

Seong Jiah, who had been staring at the person in front of her at Yoon Seah's words,

"W-What?"

Soon rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

She realized that the person in front of her looked exactly like her daughter, just like Yoon Seah had said.

And,

"Uncle said he'd change it so we'd be recognized as normal people... but I guess if you look carefully, you can still see."

The other Yoon Seah answered with a grin.

"Uncle...?"

"And honestly, we're not exactly the same, are we?"

"Huh?"

"You look older than me, don't you? How old are you?"

As she said this, she peeked inside the cafe.

"Are you already old enough for arranged marriages? The me here?"

"Hey... it's not an arranged marriage, it's a blind date."

"Isn't a blind date set up by mom an arranged marriage?"

"It's not!"

Yoon Seah, who had been fuming,

Looked at the other closely and said hesitantly,

"You. You... Are you perhaps the Yoon Seah who was in the Martial God's Tower?"

"Yes. I'm fake Seah~"

"F-Fake?"

"Oh right, you did do that, didn’t you? I heard everything."

As the other said this with a bright smile,

Yoon Seah quickly grabbed her arm.

"L-Let's... talk somewhere quiet."

"At home?"

"Yeah. Mom. Sorry, but could you please explain to that person?"

"Come back after finishing the arranged meeting. How rude."

"It's not an arranged marriage!"

So Yoon Seah hurriedly led the other by the arm towards home.

Watching the two identical Yoon Seahs, Seong Jiah sighed.

"...Jihan told them not to meet."

"Th-That... Could you be..."

"...I used the card well."

"Ah. So that's why he needed a card..."

As Seong Jiah looked at the card handed over by her other self and figured out what had happened,

"I'll follow them first. Is that okay?"

"Ah. Yes. I'll wrap things up here and follow soon."

The two women sighed and began to sort out their respective situations.

Meanwhile,

Yoon Seah opened her mouth as she led her other self towards the elevator.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Uncle saved me."

"Uncle...?"

"Yes."

Wait, could uncle even save people from the mission world?

Yoon Seah felt bewildered hearing her other self's answer, but,

'If he's an administrator... is that possible too?'

Knowing how powerful Seong Jihan's authority was,

Yoon Seah thought it might be possible.

But,

Why did uncle bring Yoon Seah from the mission world?

'When I watched the broadcast, he seemed to be deliberately distancing himself...'

Uncle was the Martial God,

And that Yoon Seah kept calling him Martial God, only changing her attitude later to want to call him uncle, didn't she?

But, what happened recently when the broadcast wasn't airing,

For him to bring Yoon Seah out like this?

As Yoon Seah stared blankly while having these doubts,

The other grinned.

"Uncle said I'm real too, but I don't intend to live as Yoon Seah here."

"...What do you mean?"

"How could I use that name when you're here?"

Swish.

The other Yoon Seah brushed up her hair.

Then,

"Oh. Your ears..."

"They're not quite elf-like, but they stick out a bit, right?"

Not long elf ears that stretched out to the sides,

But ears that were longer than a human's would have.

"If I change my face a bit too, people won't see Yoon Seah and me as the same person. Right?"

"...But ears sticking out like that don't have a good image here. It wasn't long ago that this was an elf colony."

Yoon Seah said worriedly, looking at the protruding ears.

"You can just stay as Yoon Seah. I'm... okay with it. You've been through a lot, haven't you?"

"Huh... Is this consideration? You're quite broad-minded?"

She said with a grin.

"But this is what I want too."

"Huh? You want this...?"

"Yes. If I live as Yoon Seah, I'll have to live as a niece forever."

"...?"

At her words, Yoon Seah just blinked.

What on earth was she talking about?

"Hey... We're nieces, aren't we?"

"Yes. If I live as Yoon Seah, that's true. But, if I live as the half-elf 'Sia'. Wouldn't there be other possibilities?"

"Sia? Hey. You. What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Swish.

The one who called herself Sia,

Looked back for a moment, and after confirming that Seong Jiah wasn't following yet, continued speaking.

"Of course, I'm not really planning to do anything with uncle~ Just. Just in case. I want to keep all possibilities open, you know?"

"What? All possibilities? Are you really crazy? Don't say weird things with a face identical to mine!"

"...Weird things?"

As Yoon Seah shouted,

Seong Jiah, who was hurriedly following them, asked that.

'Ah. Come to think of it, there are two moms too...'

Yoon Seah felt dizzy for the first time since reaching rank 1.

What kind of mess was this?

As she hesitated for a moment,

Swish.

"No, mom. I was just telling sis that I'm going to use the name 'Sia' from now on."

"Sis...? You to yourself?"

"Yes. She's older, after all."

"...Hey. You. If you mention age one more time, you're dead. For real."

"Okay~ I'll stop joking."

As Sia approached Yoon Seah saying this,

She whispered in Yoon Seah's ear.

"What I said earlier was a joke. You know that, right?"

"...That was supposed to be a joke?"

"Yes. You don't think I'd really do that, do you? Well then, I look forward to getting along with you~ Seah."

And with that, Sia walked towards the penthouse's private elevator as if going to her own home.

Yoon Seah watched her back and was filled with an inexplicable sense of unease.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a joke.

'...This won't do. I need to set up an iron defense to prevent her from doing anything crazy to uncle.'

No matter how much she called herself Sia,

That person was another version of herself.

She couldn't let her do such nonsensical things.

A determined light appeared in Yoon Seah's eyes.

* * *

"...It's done."

In the area of the World Tree Elves' planet that Seong Jihan had previously devastated,

He poured out the remaining power of the Transcendent,

Successfully implementing the world that the 'Taiji's Lost Souls' wanted to restore.

'The power of creation is really amazing.'

Seong Jihan stood in front of the perfectly recreated Manhattan building and,

"Then. Come out."

Swish...!

He took out the Taiji's Lost Soul from inside his body,

And gave him a body identical to his own.

"Is this... really okay? Saving just me first like this..."

The Taiji's Lost Soul who received Seong Jihan's body said with an apologetic look, but,

"I'll take care of the rest appropriately too, so don't worry and go in."

"...Alright. Thank you."

Seong Jihan put the Taiji's Lost Soul into the window of the building.

'Well, it can't be exactly the same as the original world... but he'll adjust well enough on his own.'

As Seong Jihan thought this and looked down at the created world for a moment,

Thump! Thump!

"Dad! Dad! Wow! You're flying! It's like Barren!"

A blonde girl.

Eli came running and excitedly knocked on the window.

'She's lively.'

Seong Jihan smiled at the child,

Waved his hand lightly, and then,

Swoosh!

Disappeared into thin air.

"Huh? Dad?"

While the child was confused, looking at where Seong Jihan had disappeared,

"Eli!"

The Taiji's Lost Soul found her and hugged her tightly.

"Huh? Dad? You were flying just now?!"

As the daughter pointed at the window and looked back and forth between him and the window,

"...Ah."

The Lost Soul looked out the window wistfully for a moment,

"Yes. For a moment... I flew."

Then smiled again and answered Eli like that.

And,

-Looks like he's getting along well with his daughter.

-But the sense sharing... doesn't it stop?

-His overwhelming emotions are being transmitted to us too.

Seong Jihan, who had come out to space, nodded as he heard the Lost Souls' words in his mind.

"Yes. I should cut it off. You need to be completely independent now."

Snap.

As he made up his mind like that,

The connection with the materialized Lost Soul was immediately cut off.

'Live well.'

As Seong Jihan thought this and moved on to implement the second world,

-Hey. For me... could you cut it off a bit faster?

A Taiji's Lost Soul carefully spoke up in his mind.

"Why? Ah. Going to have a second child right away?"

-Yes... You know the situation when we entered our house.

As the Taiji's Lost Soul answered shyly like that,

-This guy really held back...

-Let's release him quickly.

-Yeah, we can't livestream to 998 people.

The rest also agreed to cut off the link, chuckling.

Flash...!

As Seong Jihan implemented the second world,

"Then I'll send you off from here."

[Translator - Asura]

[Proofreader - Gun]

Swish...

He took out the Taiji's Lost Soul in the middle of space.

-Huh? From here?

Lee Hayeon's husband was flustered.

But,

"If I go down, sense sharing might happen."

With those final words,

Swoosh!

Seong Jihan threw the bone into the atmosphere.

-Hey, just because of that...!

"You won't die. It's me, after all."

Fwoosh...!

The bone instantly regained human form,

And broke through the atmosphere, flailing.

Was this the end of the second world too?

'I'm sorry for the rest, but stay with me until my power recovers.'

The remaining power of the Transcendent after eliminating Jiang Shang's Infinite.

After restoring two worlds, it was now almost depleted.

Of course,

As long as the sun existed, the power of the Transcendent would slowly recover,

But it would take considerable time to restore the rest of the worlds.

-We understand.

-But really, you don't need to implement our worlds.

-Instead of that, how about we just live on your Earth?

-As long as we don't live as Seong Jihan, right?

'Hmm... that much is possible.'

Materializing the Taiji's Lost Souls as different people,

Was possible even with the grain of rice-sized Transcendent power remaining now.

Seong Jihan decided to do as the Taiji's Lost Souls wished, and,

'Let's go back for now.'

Fwoosh...!

He opened a portal and returned home.

Then,

"Uncle. You're finally back?"

At home, Yoon Seah, who had been pacing around the living room sofa,

Greeted him with a serious face as soon as he arrived.

"What?"

"I met Sia."

"Who's Sia?"

"The, Yoon Seah who appeared in the broadcast!"

"Ah... What? You've already met?"

He told her so earnestly not to meet.

As Seong Jihan asked with an embarrassed face,

"Yes. We, had various things happen, but we agreed to get along well like friends and..."

Grind.

Yoon Seah, who was grinding her teeth while saying they were getting along well,

"Now, this is really really important."

Brought Seong Jihan to sit at the dining table with a serious face.

"Start dating now. No, get married."

"Why so suddenly?"

"...There's a reason. A very serious problem. A problem that won't be solved unless uncle moves quickly."

He thought she was going to say something serious with that face, but,

What was this about marriage all of a sudden?

As Seong Jihan looked at her as if this was ridiculous,

"If uncle doesn't get married, I won't date men either!"

"...No. What does that have to do with me?"

Was that supposed to be a threat?

Seong Jihan chuckled, finding this absurd, but,

"I'm serious."

Then Yoon Seah took out A4 papers she had prepared in advance.

"Here. This is the list of bride candidates I prepared."

She said, placing the papers one by one on the table.

Her eyes couldn't have been more serious.

"Sophia, Hayeon, Seol-yeong... Huh? Gayeong is here too? No. Wait. There's more?"

"I listed all the women uncle has met. Come on. Start quickly!"

"No. What..."

"Or do you prefer someone else? Pick anyone. I'll use my rank 1 authority to get their contact info and introduce you right away. There's no one in this world who would refuse if Seong Jihan asked to meet, right? Of course, choose from among the singles."

Why was she trying to introduce women as if she were being chased by something?

He looked at Yoon Seah as if this was absurd, but then,

'Come to think of it, I did make a promise.'

Looking at the photos in the A4 papers on the table,

He remembered the date promises he had made when he couldn't feel sensations.

Back then, he refused because he thought it would be rude to the other person in his insensitive state, but,

'Now, maybe I should try meeting someone.'

Seeing the two Taiji's Lost Souls living happily with their families,

He felt like it was time to take the next step.

"Okay."

"Oh...? Really? Should I book a wedding venue?"

"What wedding venue? We're not even dating yet."

Looking at Yoon Seah, who was desperate to get him married somehow, Seong Jihan was bewildered, but asked,

"Where's my phone?"

"Why? It's charging over there."

"I'm going to keep my date promise."

As Seong Jihan looked for Sophia's phone number,

Yoon Seah, who had been across the table, quickly came to his side and asked in an ominous voice.

"Sophia? Is Sophia confirmed as the marriage partner? Are we going to America?"

"Oh come on! What marriage, really! I'm just keeping a date promise!"

"Go quickly... Uncle. You need to go quickly...!"

What was really wrong with her?

As Seong Jihan wondered about Yoon Seah trying to match him up somehow,

Beep. Beep beep. Beep.

"Uncle~!"

The front door opened,

And Yoon Seah.

No, now using the name 'Sia', entered.

"Have you finished your important business?"

Unlike Yoon Seah who was pestering about marriage, Sia approached with a bright smile.

"Yeah. It's done."

Seong Jihan nodded as he saw her.

Sia, who was approaching him with a welcoming face,

Turned her gaze to the A4 papers on the table.

"Hmm... When did you prepare all this?"

Sia, who was looking at the papers with interested eyes,

"Ah. This person. She's the one who called me a fake."

Rip. Rip.

She tore up Kang Seol-young's paper and smiled deeply.

"Hey! Why are you tearing that!"

"Ah. Sorry. Personal feelings got in the way... Print it again~"

"Hah. Really... Uncle has to go on a date with Sophia, so don't interfere."

"Sophia?"

At Yoon Seah's words, Sia looked at Sophia's paper,

And nodded obediently.

"I see... Uncle. Have a good time~"

"..."

And Yoon Seah, staring at her with a serious face.

As the two were in the same space, a strange tension filled the air.

'...I guess it's not easy for the same person to get along well.'

He should have been more careful.

Thinking this, Seong Jihan mediated between the two.

"...It might be awkward at first, but please get along well."

"Okay, uncle."

"Oh my~ We're already getting along well~"

"I see... Then I'll make a call."

Leaving behind the two's strange exchange of glances,

As Seong Jihan picked up his phone to call Sophia,

"But uncle. You didn't make promises with just her, did you?"

"Well, that's true."

"Then to be fair, you should date the others too."

Sia chimed in from behind.

Starting with Sophia, meet everyone, she said.

"...Are you really going to be like this?"

"No. Why?"

Grin.

Sia smiled and retorted to Yoon Seah.

"I'm just saying this because I want uncle to find a really good match."

"..."

"Really~"

They were having a nerve war over such a strange thing.

Seong Jihan tilted his head, sensing the atmosphere between the two, and called Sophia.

[Jihan? Are you back?]

"Yes, Sophia."

Her voice came through immediately.

Seong Jihan asked her directly.

"Is the promise we made before still valid?"

[Promise... the date?]

"Yes."

[Of course!]

At her voice that sounded like she might jump through the phone at any moment,

Seong Jihan grinned.

"Alright. I'll come. Right now."
