Chapter 209
There wasn’t anything notable in the newspaper this morning. Aside from large headlines about the upcoming college entrance exam and the record-breaking number of applicants for the fourth-quarter Hunter registration program, the news was filled with trivial articles, such as professional baseball results. However, it was also a sign that the world was at peace.
Time had flowed steadily, and it was now November. As expected, the weather was gradually turning colder.
Yoon-Hee was already wearing a cardigan over her school uniform as she prepared breakfast, humming a tune. She seemed a bit hurried since she also had to make lunch for the children. Judging by the rich, savory smell of soybean paste, today’s breakfast looked like doenjang jjigae.
Suddenly, a tremor shook the road in front of Changshin Villa. Startled by the noise, Yoon-Hee accidentally dropped her ladle onto the floor.
A commotion was heard in the neighborhood. Of course, it was Hakase and Kiriel making all the noise this early morning.
“You’ve finally lost your mind! Are you seriously challenging me right now?” Hakase shouted.
“Yes! This time, I’ll show you the true power of the great Kiriel!”
“Hah, listen to yourself, you dumbass!”
Although they had been at odds since their time in the Deep Realm, the duo seemed to be getting along lately—only to start fighting again. Do-Jun sighed and decided to ignore them.
“Oh, those two are so lively this morning...” Yoon-Hee said with an awkward smile, then picked up the ladle and continued preparing breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Do-Jun left for work, but somehow, he got dragged into the two’s petty squabble and found himself in an empty dimension.
