Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

“Sylph, did you have fun today?”

"Huh. It was fun! Daddy is the best!”

“Heh heh heh…”

I gently stroked Sylph's soft blonde hair.

Me, Ari, and Sylph got out of ‘Sylph World’ and sat down in a quiet cafe.

“It would be nice to hear compliments from my daughter-in-law.”

“Are you still cringing, Ari?”

“I’m not crooked.”

However, contrary to the answer, only the green tea latte that was ordered was sucked sideways with a straw, not trying to make eye contact with me.

‘Am I too harsh…?’

Come to think of it, I haven't contacted him for over two months, so it was a bit harsh.

‘I’m not good at taking care of that, so it’s a mask.’

It just seemed like he was too comfortable with Ari like Chan-gyu and other friends.

‘But, what will happen between Ari and me now?’

Both me and Ari became Silph's parents.

I haven't even been married yet...

Although we haven't even had a physical relationship yet...

“Hmmmm...”

"Hehehe······."

I was just stroking Sylph's head, who was gleefully sipping his drink.

Sylph didn't know anything about our relationship, and he was just concentrating on eating.

'Because I'm that old...'

It was just in the early stages of getting to know the world.

So, how Ari and I treat Sylph will determine what kind of person Sylph will become in the future.

“Mr. Ari. So Sylph is living at Ari's house?”

"Yes."

“It must be your first time taking care of a baby, how about doing it yourself?”

“······································································!?”

“·················ogue.”

Ari raised her double wick and stared at her with the eyes of ‘Are you calling that a question?’

But, when her sylph looked at her sullenly, she immediately responded with her bright face.

“Good~ Very good~!”

“··········!”

Is it because of my mood that I felt that something was thorny...?

Anyway, it didn't seem like Ari didn't bother or dislike Sylph.

‘It’s just very difficult.’

Usually babies at that age are overflowing with energy like energizers, and their stamina runs when their parents play with them.

But, Ari is doing it all by herself without her husband, so she can't help but struggle.

'Still, Ari is a good-looking guy...'

I can only say that it is amazing that, despite such a big baby, she is raising them with affection without much complaints.

"Then I'll have to find a big house where we can all live together to take care of Sylph."

"Yes?"

Ari was surprised to drink a drink at the sudden proposal to live together.

“Wow-! Dad, are you living with us now? It’s cool-!”

“Huh. Sylph, are you happy living with your dad?”

"Huh. great!"

Sylph slid down from the chair and sat down on my lap, leaning his upper body against me.

I grabbed Sylph's soft and small hands and shook them.

“Where is the house then?”

Ari seemed to have no choice but to finally agree to my proposal.

Thanks to Silph, we became a forced couple, but we didn't react much against it.

"well. Maybe Seoul, where the company is close, is better? My whole family is in Seoul.”

“Yeah, then what…”

After saying that Ari to take care of it, she got into trouble.

I started working on it in earnest after Ari quickly asked a suggestion I had thrown lightly.

“Hello, Mr. Seok Chang-ik. This is Lee Joon-hyuk.”

- Yes, boss.

I called Seok Chang-ik to find a new house to live with Ari.

‘Recently, Jin-Kwang Yoo has been very busy, so I’ll have to ask Chang-Ik Seok, who is idle, a lot.’

Seok Chang-ik was currently spending his leisurely time under Chennir, doing sidbarari.

Besides, he earned 200 million won each.

“I am starting a family this time. Do you know what I mean?”

-Yeah, I know.

Since Seok Chang-ik had also seen Silf, he knew whose daughter Silf was.

“So we need a house big enough for three people to use comfortably.”

-How much do you think the price range is?

“I would like a place where three people can live, regardless of the price, please. It’s an interior that women will like.”

-all right. Let's find out right now.

drop.

So the call ended.

“What?”

Ari pricked her ears and watched my phone call carefully before asking.

“I’m going to find out.”

“Did you talk about Pyeongsu?”

"no."

“·················ogue.”

“I said it was a house for three people, so I’ll take care of saving it.”

“Still a little…!”

Ari puffed up her cheeks with a slightly dissatisfied face and licked his mouth.

"I see."

I called Seok Chang-ik again and tossed Ari.

“Yes, Mr. Changik. What kind of house do I want?”

At that moment, Ari was excited and started ordering things from Seok Chang-ik with a wide-eyed face.

As if picking a meticulous item, I just smiled at the sight of them judging them.

'I just need a place to lie down with my legs stretched out...'

Actually, I wasn't really interested in the interior of the house. If I could, I wanted to cover it with plain, dark-colored wallpaper without any pattern.

However.

‘Because I am no longer in my own house…’

If it was a single room like now, it would be fine, but since it was a room that would be shared with Ari and Silf in the future, it was good to match the tastes of women by a majority vote.

“Then let us live together as soon as a house is found, and I will join after preparing to go to school for a while.”

"Huh? school? Ah···!"

Ari made a bewildered expression for a moment at my words, and then shook her head with a sigh.

“Bet with relatives! Are you talking about that?”

“…well, even if it’s not necessary, there should be at least one college signboard in Korean society.”

“It is.”

To be honest, it's true that I did it because of my relatives, but I didn't want to be a childish father in front of Silf, so I wrapped it up that way.

‘Honestly, in Korea, if you don’t go to college, it’s true that you can’t be treated like a person……’

These days, after graduating from high school, it is a trend to either make use of the technical major and get a job quickly, or immediately jump into the civil service.

Still, the sunglasses on the academic background were still there.

‘If it’s at Hankuk University, you won’t be neglected wherever you go.’

It was still clear in my mind that I was ignored by Park Tae-jin as a middle schooler in the past.

So, even if it wasn't a bet with my relatives, I decided that I had to pass the entrance exam and go to college.

‘After all, I don’t have much work to do now.’

The electronic product process that Matop Electronics will release has already been implemented by magic. Since I had almost three months of free time, I was able to perfect the implementation while studying the technology.

'The business is geared towards Yu Jin-kwang and others, shall I enjoy my life a little...?'

As I gazed at the distant mountain with a slight smile, Sylph grabbed my collar.

“Dad, are you going to school?”

"Huh. Daddy is going to college this time.”

"University······?"

I was briefly explaining the school to Sylph, but suddenly I got into trouble.

‘How are you going to send Sylph to school later?’

I even thought about sending him to school.

‘Because Korean schools are not of good quality...’

Once many children are randomly mixed, many of the dogs with poor quality are also mixed to form a class.

In addition, those bad guys quickly form factions, harassing poor or naive students.

Bullying, or direct violence or indirect gossip, etc. were dug up.

‘It wouldn’t be bad for Sylph to just enjoy a happy life with good people like he is now.’

I have good parents and teachers like Ari, but I didn't want to force myself to go to school.

“Sylph will be well taught by her mother at home. Is that right, Ari?”

"Yes···."

Ari also understood Sylph's situation and felt sorry for her, so as her parents, she happily became Sylph's teacher.

*Unfortunately, after breaking up with my mother and daughter, I returned home.

-Dad, if we buy a house, let's live together!

Sylph said so while embracing Ari, waving his little hand. I nodded my head, saying I would do it in response to Sylph's request, which didn't hurt even if I put it in my eyes.

squeaky.

When I got home, there was no one there.

I went into my room after a long time.

“It’s as it is…”

Still, the room was clean with no dust, making sure someone was cleaning it every day.

"after······."

I sat down at my desk and pondered for a moment.

On the desk was a notice about admission to Korea University.

‘You are the representative of freshmen…….’

As the freshman representative, it was written that I was asked to write an oath and send it by e-mail.

To be honest, I never did anything like that when I was in school. Let alone a student representative, I have never been a class president or vice president.

‘It was all because I was introverted and shy…….’

I liked to play pranks with my friends, but it wasn't my style to just step out in front of people and take responsibility for something and conduct things.

'Not much has changed even now...'

I was doing a lot of work, but people's eyes were all on people like Yoo Jin-kwang and Park Tae-jin.

I just hide behind their shadows and stare at them.

‘Because I don’t have any particular desire to show off or honor.’

If I had to categorize it, would it be called a staunch group?

A style that only cares for speed and avoids all annoying things.

That was me.

‘Because, in order to develop on your own, you can only do that…’

Of course, it is not a bad thing to stand up in front of others and become a representative, take responsibility for the group, and lead this and that.

However, if you get too addicted to such things, once you talk a lot, you will not be able to distinguish between what to say and what not to say.

‘Because if you talk a lot, you are bound to make mistakes…’

I have experienced many such situations in this world.

Not everyone is perfect. It is a person who fills in one's shortcomings through experience.

However, if you start to teach someone early, you will have less time to develop your inner self.

‘You end up becoming a frog in the well.’

So, I rejected all those places where only the appearance was shiny, and I locked myself up in order to polish my essence.

'That's how I was able to get into the 10th circle...'

However, as I got to the top, I started seeing people around me more and more. And, more than anything, I came back home because I wanted to see my family.

‘If it’s me, it doesn’t really matter if I live while taking care of the people around me, right?’

He has already reached the highest position among all living beings. So, now, even if I sell a little, there was no way my value would be reduced or my class would collapse.

"Hmm······."

swish.

I was suddenly looking at the bookshelf and found an album from my high school days.

“Wasn’t I dismissed? What album?”

Then, by magic, I took out the album and opened it once.
