Chapter Text
Autumn comes, and the road including the houses get covered by the fallen leaves of all the mighty trees that are standing still.
The world is slowly being reconstructed, leaving everyone happy and delighted about the scenario that they have been dreaming of since the start of the war finally came true.
'Time flies so fast... Has it been four years then?'
The crimson red hair that made him recognizable to anyone, his body that all the people pity since it was thin, the body of someone who used to have no rest and was sacrificing himself that made his body stick and pale. It is now having enough sunlight, and his body is now healthy.
Cale Henituse, the hero who will never be seen again.
He is standing on his own two feet with a black dragon on his arms. The now grown woman with it's silver wavy long hair that anybody could describe it as the moonlight. It was standing with Cale and looking uncertain towards his own father's decision. The boy who's in his teens, the dark red hair that is not terrible as blood, instead a red rose that makes anybody willing to pick out of it's dirt, not aware that roses have thorns.
"Cale, I don't think that my so-called 'debutante' is needed to celebrate." The silver haired girl who was named On, commented after taking a glimpse of the newly purchased mansion of his father.
"On, c'mon, we will definitely celebrate your debutante. I will make sure that it will be memorable, I promise." Cale patted the head of his daughter, as a man who kept his words. He will definitely make sure that he will make the first ever debutante of his daughter, really memorable.
"B..but how?" On, was truly uncertain about it.
"We have 1 week before your debutante right?" Cale rubbed the back of the little dragon on his arms, Hong, who has those colored red rose hairs, is curious why Cale doesn't bring any butlers, maids, or organizers. Instead they are the only people standing on the mansion and in their back was their baggage that was teleported by Raon, the great and mighty black dragon.
"Yes, human! It was one weeks from now before Noona's birthday!" Raon answered playfully and chuckled after having a hunch about his human plans.
"Then, we have two weeks to prepare and organize your debutante."
"W..what do you mean by that nya?"
Cale benevolent curved a smile, gently caressing the silver hair. On, really doesn't let anybody touch the strands of her hair, but if it's Cale, she would gladly take the opportunity and be patted by him. She wouldn't get tired of the warm hands of her father.
"I, us, would be the person who will prepare it."
What to do:
Decide the venue ✓
Purchase suits and gowns.
Buy ingredients.
Organize the venue.
Cook the food for the debut.
Invite some guests.
Lastly, let the party begin.
Yes, Cale is lazy, he is proud of it. However, the day of the birth of his eldest daughter is approaching, and On is turning 16 that means debutante. He doesn't admit it but, he would work without a hesitation just for his daughter to feel happy and treasured for the upcoming events.
Well, Cale always makes sure that his children are always feeling loved and treasured. Every day, and he promised that when the day comes when his last warmth leaves his body, he would surely give it to his children.
'I definitely will keep my promise, surely I will make these upcoming days memorable.'

A large area with vintage styles greets the redhead along with its children who seem to be observing the surroundings.
The windows were probably large enough to welcome any rays of sun. The rock walls and those objects that supported the mansion to stay still, it was like a perchance it had grown up right from the hallowed ground.
It was fascinating and it looked so mystical because of the fog that was randomly swirling around the mansion.
"It was large enough for the venue." Cale nods in satisfaction after he looks around the mansion that he buyed, it was large for the venue that he was dreaming of for his daughter debutante.
"...Cale, are we going to celebrate my so-called debutante here?" On is in awe after realizing how much money Cale spends just for the venue of her debutante, who would have thought to set the debutante on a large mansion that is even larger than the Henituse Museum who was known for having a place that looks like it can be compared to a kingdom? Yes, only Cale.
It was just the beginning of preparation but On already felt it was already memorable due how large the mansion is.
"Listen up my children, I choose this mansion as the venue, well our underground villa and black Castle is also large as well, but I choose this venue for me to feel refreshed, it's been a while since I spent a lot of money after all."
Hong and Raon just shook their heads after hearing such a reason from Cale, as if they are already used to it.
On, couldn't stand Cale's reasoning. Is her upcoming debutante really that special? She thought.
"There were many bedrooms here for us to sleep in." Cale paused for a moment after mesmerizing the hall since there's no single dust around the area. "So what I am saying, feel free to choose your own room or you guys could sleep with me, as usual."
"I want to sleep with you Human! This place is new to me! This mighty dragon might have a nightmare!"
"I don't want to be alone nya! There might be some kind of ghost there!"
"I will sleep with you Cale nya."
Cale nodded, it was a good decision for Cale, well Cale is too dense to admit it but he couldn't sleep in ease when the children are not with him. It's making him worried in the middle of the night.
"Let's start the preparation tomorrow."
____
A place where the elegant fabric scent was roaming around in the luxurious store where different garments and attires are around.
"Welcome!"
There were also decent workers who were gratefully sending their greetings toward the customer, and Cale with the children also received those treatment even though they were in disguise.
"I would like to look for a debutante gown for her." Cale casually pointed his hand towards On who's staring at many types of expensive garments and couldn't believe that she would experience shopping for this kind of heavy clothes.
"Oh! We have many types of beautiful gowns that were fitted for this beautiful lady!" The worker who is guiding them couldn't help but to express her amazement due that their customers were a big shot, as well their visuals were incomparable to all the customers that their shop encountered.
"And I would like to buy a suit for this boy." Cale looked at the rows of black suits and pointed his finger to Hong, and secretly glanced at the invisible Raon. "and also a suit for a ten years old child."
-Human? What do you mean?
"Oh also! A simple black suit for me." Cale added after realizing that he almost forgot about himself.
On who was staring at different beautiful gowns and mesmerizing it, Cale who noticed where On was staring at and with a second, he swiftly pointed his finger to it and gave a command to the workers.
"Buy all the clothes in this row." Cale looks at On who's shock and its eyes are shaking, Cale continues his words. "Try wearing all the clothes that catch your eyes, I would buy it for you, then decide which one would be the best one for your debutante."
"Cale n-nyah!"
On who wants to scold Cale with its own stupidity on spending his money, but cutted off when many workers start to drag her into a dressing room.
Now, she has to suffer on picking the gown that really fits her taste. It was clearly hell, since all the clothes she saw were all beautiful.
Seems like On would buy the entire rows.
On the other hand, Cale handed a lot of different suits to Hong who's currently 13 years old. Hong's eyes were shining brightly and taking all the suits that Cale handed to him, Hong let himself be dragged to the dressing room as well.
Cale maliciously grinned while looking at the chaos in front of his eyes. And once again, Cale almost forgot about himself, as his eyes roam around in all the suits that are lined elegantly, he picks a black yet simple suit among them.
He didn't mind trying it since he really doesn't care about the suit. The important thing is that he could wear something acceptable for the upcoming debutante with his daughter. Who would dare to show up on a special day wearing nightwear? He was too shameless to do that.
He sighs, he walks around in a suit row that is a little short, it was more likely it only fits on a ten years old child.
Cale grabs multiple suits that catch his taste and satisfy his imagination, his imagination how adorable Raon might be.
-Human! What are you doing!? What is that for…?
Cale shrugs and while he observes that all the workers were probably busy, he took the chance to go into the other dressing room while holding the bunch of ten years old suits.
After he locked the door he spoke to Raon.
"Hey, Raon remove your invisibility, no one is here." Cale who is examining each outfit that he brings with him and the confused Raon is at the dressing room, they are having their fatherly and son moments.
-I didn't see any mages here so sure!
A black dragon figure shows up at the dressing room, unlike in the past, the chubby cheeks and paws were now kinda slims indicating that the black dragon was growing up and soon to hit it's own puberty aka second phase.
"Wear this Raon." Cale handed multiple suits on the black dragon, making Raon confused and uncertain about it.
"Human… What do you mean? I can't wear these clothes since I'm not a human!" Raon exclaimed, since how would he wear those human outfits when he was a bald dragon?
"Don't kidding me, Raon." Cale patted the head of the black dragon, since he knew one secret of Raon that had been kept in a short period of time. "I know that you already found and once transform onto your humanoid form."
Cale straightforwardly reveals the secret of Raon, making the black dragon eyes widen.
"Human… how…" Raon is in disbelief about how Cale knew about it. Since Raon doesn't tell this to anyone, even Eruhaben doesn't know about it. Then how Cale knew about these? Simple, Cale sometimes saw Raon fascinated by human clothes that made the redhead certain about his hunch and not to mention that Cale saw Raon sneaking out of their room when they were peacefully sleeping, thanks to that his mind created different theories about it.
"Feel free to transform, I can buy all the clothes that you want as well All the suits that are available here." Cale convinced Raon by its wealth, making the black dragon snores and amazed by his human.
"But human… I look like a demon, my horns are small unlike mom and Goldie Gramps horns which are majestic…" Raon is hesitating since he doesn't want to be hated by his human. What if Cale laughed at his humanoid form? That will be a great nightmare for him.
"What? Raon, you're a great and mighty dragon, horns weren't really necessary. You're a mighty dragon, you could hide it if you're insecure although I prefer for you not to hide those horns when you transform, since I was certain that you would be a handsome little boy."
Cale made eye contact with Raon, convincing it since Cale knew that there were no ugly dragons. Each of the dragons have their own majestic demeanor making them beautiful in their own way.
Raon's eyes shaked, insecurities started to fade away until he nodded it's head to the human, leaving a curved lips on his father.
Shererereng-
The black dragon body started to swirl it's blue mana, like the fairy godmother that transformed Cinderella, Raon mana started to fade away.
Leaving an adorable child.
A child with coiled hair and short horns, a pair of round eyes that are sapphire blue, wings that were black as his hair appeared on Cale's eyes.
Leaving the redhead in awe.
'Ho… it's adorable…'
"H..human.., it's cold." Raon embarrassingly covered it's naked body as well the lower part of his new body. Afraid that what's on that part will be compared.
Cale chuckled and handed to Raon the bunch of suits and finally, the bald head that he used to pat, it have now grown hairs that is closed to the night sky, but maybe it was because of Dragons traits, hair was radiant as ever, nose that is flush pink, skin that is not porcelain, it's not also tanned, just balance. Those legs that are long enough for a normal child to support their body to walk.
But those eyes, the sapphire blue colored eyes, are sparkling.
He finds it adorable and mighty.
'I should buy Raon clothes and pajamas, but I think a cat headband would fit on him.'
"Human.. how do I look?" Raon is waiting for the compliment of his human, he was relieved and happy that Cale didn't push him back.
"You look great and mighty." Cale chuckled along with Raon, as the redhead caressed the coiled hair, satisfied that it was soft.
"Human! I will wear all of these! You're the one who would buy these expensive clothes after all!"
Cale shook his head, trying to prevent flush pink blushes from appearing on his ears.
Chuckled.
Raon chuckled and Cale came back to his senses.
He starts to help Raon dress himself after he realizes what his purpose is.
What to do:
Decide the venue ✓
Purchase suits and gowns.✓
Buy ingredients.
Cook the food for the debut.
Organize the venue.
Invite some guests.
Lastly, let the party begin.
'And thus, the second preparation is completed.'
'It's time to buy ingredients.'
____
"Don't tell me you're the one who will cook them nya?"
The moment they set their feet onto the market, the moment that they spend their time longer than usual, thanks to the certain redhead who picked all the ingredients that he remembered and needed for all the dishes that he would cook.
"Of course I will." Cale smirks, as if that he didn't care paying almost five billion gallons for all the ingredients he buyed.
"Human! You know how to cook?" Raon is completely in his human form, since the black dragon was great and mighty, he could hide his horns and little wings making him in people's eyes look like a harmless adorable little child.
"Of course I know." Cale paused and roamed his eyes around the outside of the market that they were roaming around to buy all the ingredients.
To be specific, they almost buyed all the products and foods in the market.
Leaving the area completely empty and was forced to close their shop earlier than the owner's schedule.
"Raon, put these boxes in your spatial dimension." Cale yawned, feeling refreshed and sleepy, refreshed after the breeze of the air touched his skin, making him feel alive, sleepy because it's been a while since he worked this much.
Raon excitedly took all the almost twenty boxes that contained different ingredients and things that Cale said to them that were needed for the upcoming debutante.
On sighs, feeling pity towards the shop that they harvest, it's completely empty.
But she was grateful and happy about these crazy yet heartwarming moments with her father.
What could she ask for? It's already memorable for her to see Cale working his ass off just for her.
Hong on the other side places his shoulder on his sister's shoulder as well on Raon's shoulder, they glance at each other before shifting their gaze at the back of the redhead, crimson hair dancing along with the breeze.
They really felt lucky and grateful to have Cale.
Terererereren~
Their thoughts were disturb by the sudden sounds of instruments, leading their gaze to the middle of the street.
"Hmm?" Cale humm at the sudden crowded people at the street, instruments like guitar and Violin started to play.
Cale and the children watched as the crowd started to have formation and the instrumental music continued, people were like they got freed at their own cage, leaving them dancing along with the beats, clapping their hands as the barefoot feet of the crowd started to get along with the rhythm.
The children eyes started to shine, leaving them tempted to join in. As they looked at the certain redhead figure, the children could tell that Cale is interested too by watching the performance.
The children looked at each other's eyes, their gaze is like having a telepathy meeting as if they already know what to do by just staring at each other.
On and Hong, as well Raon started to take off their shoes.
Their eyes were full of sparkles while staring at the crowd that was starting to get more crowded than ever.
"Human, let's go!"
"Cale, let's join nya!"
"This will be fun Cale nya!"
"Eh? Hey-!"
Cale didn't notice how the children took off their shoes, instead he finds himself dumbfounded while being dragged by the three children to the dancing crowd. He was also shocked how Raon used his magic to take off his shoes.
And Cale found himself with the children in the crowd.
The redhead didn't know what to do since he doesn't know how to dance and it was really unexpected for him.
Who could have thought that after completing another preparation he would have to get dragged into the chaos?
Tererererenreren~
"Human dance with us!" Raon could be seen clapping his hands while his barefoot feet are dancing, the coiled hair is also swaying making him more recognizable at the crowd. The little child held the hands of the redhead and started to play with it, like a child inviting the redhead to dance with them.
On and Hong could also be found dancing with the crowds, letting her silver long hair sway with it as she started to dance to the beat and started to memorize the steps. Hong who's also dancing with the crowd, the red roses hair is also dancing at the rhyme and beats like there's no tomorrow, they raise their hands clapping and feet are dancing as they look at the redhead figure beamy.
Cale didn't know what to do, his children were as well enjoying the dance by the beats of the music, he sighs before he started to dance along with the crowd.
Tenenen-
His crimson hair fluttered along with the hands and feet that were dancing very well, thanks to Cale's record ability, he would receive many compliments that Cale would find annoying about it.
But who's fault is it? Of course it's his fault. He didn't receive permission from the crowd (as well the readers) to make them deeply in love with it.
Like a Greek God, Cale clapped his hands and the song beats started to have high pitch, making the children as well Cale dance more energetic.
Making the crowd of people recognize them for having such skills and visuals.
Tenenen-
The song continued, Cale doesn't care about the surroundings and focuses on his children who's dancing along with him.
'What am I doing in my life?'
-I remember dancing with this type of XX crowd.
-Oh? When?
-When the cheapskate invited me secretly to follow a glutton in that XXX street.
-Oh! I remember it! I remember following glutton and thief having a date!
-Noona did?
-What? I didn't do such things like that cheapskate!
-Oh? You mean that? The food was good there and I had fun teasing and almost making out with the thief.
-Teasing? Old Man! What's the meaning of 'almost making out'? XXX Old man!
-Kids, stop it. There's an innocent soul.
Cale shook his head after hearing the conversation of his AP, as if like a bird who was flying in freedom, he followed the rhythm and beats of the music, as well as the children who were amazed and happy after dancing along with their father.
Tenenen-.
"This is fun, Human!"
"Yes! We should suggest this kind of street event in the Henituse festival nya!"
"I don't know you could dance very well nya!"
The comments and warm smiles of the three children made a curve on Cale's lips, leaving the crowd who's been watching them since the beginning in awe.
But to Cale and the children, it's like the world is just focused on them at this moment.
Tenenen-
The end of the song is nearing, Cale continues it's dance and doesn't expect a movement from the crowd, the people who's dancing are dragging them, making the poor souls separated from each other.
Cale didn't know where he is now, but he just continued dancing, not giving a shit on all the partners that he encountered and also disappeared because of the fact that they keep dragging Cale on their business.
'What the fuck? I hope the children are doing okay.'
Tun Tun Tun.
When the song finished, the crowd stopped dancing as they clapped and glanced at all the partners that they have through these performances, but all eyes were on Cale.
'I'm not having their shits again… hah.'
A loud shouts of desperate and angry children could be heard at the dancefloor.
A coiled haired child along with the other two beautiful people shouted like that. Desperate, because of the thoughts that because of their separation that Cale might be in danger, Angry because of the crowd of girls staring at their father like a predator who has a different reaction towards Cale. Making the three children have a bitter and frustrated sensation.
They shouted and threatened the crowd just like that.
But this story is not mine to tell about.
As far as this narrator knows, the crowd will be wiped out.
What to do:
Decide the venue ✓
Purchase suits and gowns.✓
Buy ingredients.✓
Cook the food for the debut.
Organize the venue.
Invite some guests.
Lastly, let the party begin.
Well atleast, they finished two preparations in just one day.
let's give a clap to our young master-nim for being such a workaholic.
*Claps claps claps*
____
"One step, two, three four and turn around."
Deep voice that is attractive yet sounds lazy could be heard in the entire hall of the mansion.
"One, two three four hmm then right- single single double double then turn around." A soft voice of whispers coming from On, who was like a living moonlight, were dancing along with the flow.
Spinning in a circle while their feet were shuffling slowly, Cale and On are dancing along with the imaginary rhyme, harmony of music can't be heard, the whole area only can hear the sounds of their shoes as they keep dancing along with their whispers of instruction for them to dance properly.
"It seems like you won't be able to step at my feet again, you're dancing great, On." Cale whispers under his breath while he guides and continues to go along with their dance of waltz without harmony.
"Cale nya… don't mention what happened earlier.'' On, who was focused on looking at their feet that are dancing along with their movements couldn't help it but to be embarrassed by the fact that this is their ten takes of practice.
Cale chuckled after hearing the shy response of his eldest daughter.
"Human! It seems like there will be no mistakes this time!"
"Noona you're doing great and becoming a professional nya!"
Two voices that compliments their father as well their older sister after they just witnessed the difficult progress of them, couldn't help but to showered the lovely fatherly-daughter their comments of amazement towards the dancing waltz of the two.
"Last steps and we are good." Cale informs On about the nearing end of their rehearsal.
Finally, On spinned one last time that Cale quickly did his steps, making mystical and heartwarming sights.
"FINALLY!"
On shouted in relief and carelessly let herself lay down at the tiles that clearly could reflect herself at the ground.
Cale couldn't help it but to shake his head while he started to collect the papers that drew the steps and instructions that helped him to make his lecture and explanation about the steps of the waltz easier.
The redhead placed the papers of drawn instructions to where it really belongs, since he still needed to teach how to dance waltz to his other children.
Well, How does Cale know the movement of the waltz? He attends many balls, thanks to his Hyung for threatening him that he will make the redhead as prime minister if he doesn't attend.
At that time, when the hall is set by the elegant instrumental indicating that the dance of partners would start, Cale record all the movements of the nobles who dance at the ballroom since he didn't know what to do at that time, he was bored and record everything, not expecting that he would needed it for On's Debutante.
Well, yesterday night, Cale ask if On knew how to dance since it was needed for the ceremony, and his daughter honestly admitted that she doesn't know such a thing, so he decided along with the children permission for him to teach them how to dance waltz.
And well, it was harder than he thought since his feet almost turned red because of countless times that On stepped on his poor feet.
But Cale is Cale, he hates pain but he also hates seeing such a sad and disappointed expression onto On.
"Is it our turn Human? I already memorized some steps!"
"I think I can do it well nya!"
'Well, I should cook many dishes for dinner later…'
"Yes yes, It's the two of you now, but we would need a certain woman to participate." Cale clapped his hands multiple times and chuckled after hearing a grumbling of On who's lazily stood up.
"This will be fun nya!"
" Human I am great and mighty so I'm sure I would not step onto your feet!"
Two individuals spoke with a hint of excitement while looking back and forth toward the paper of instruction and their teacher for this subject.
"I NEED WATER FIRST NYAAH!"
And thus the fun learning started…
Well this is not in the preparation but the author wanted to add this since Cale dancing Waltz is too much for her holy mind-
____
"I would cook our dinner, rest first, kids."
After the three individuals who are tiredly laying down at the cold tiles after their waltz rehearsal that almost took them hundreds to dance properly.
"I'm still a great and mighty dragon…" The black dragon who's currently in his human form mumbled after realizing his progress.
"You're still a great and mighty youngest nya!"
"Hong is right! You're still the great and mighty Raon Miru!"
Guess who has the most count that stepped on Cale's feet? Yes, it's Raon.
"I enjoy dancing with Cale nya." Hong who's currently catching his breath spoke his true feeling while he reminisce how Cale teach them and didn't give a fuck when they are stepping on his feet.
"He looks like a professor, eh." On who has a pure smile commented after she thought that Cale is good at explaining and teaching them, that she almost assumed that Cale once became a professor at an academy.
"By the way Noona, The girl who's celebrating her debutante needed someone to be her first dance?" Hong asked since his sister didn't mention anything about this thing. However, On sighs after hearing it, she knows that a girl on a debutante needs her first dance, but the fact that she has his father on his mind as his first dance but she has reasons why she still doesn't inform Cale.
And she was relieved that Cale didn't ask about anything regarding that matter.
"They said that the father of the girl is the most popular and common choice! You should ask Human about it!" Raon suggested that while he sat down and looked at On, the sparkle in Raon 's eyes resembled his excitement and curiosity.
"You could ask Cale about it since he was our dad now nya!"
"Do you think that Cale will agree to it?"
"Of course human will agree to that!"
The two boys convinced their sister about Cale should be On first dance at the ball since their sister brought a man that they didn't know of and decided to be her partner. They would probably burn that man to death.
That's why it would be good if their father should be their sister's first dance.
"I should ask Cale about this later nya." On muttered that the two individuals clearly heard which made them smile in satisfaction.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Raon jumped in surprise about the sudden sounds of the mana communication device which is on his spatial dimension, making the two cats look at him in confusion and worried.
"Someone is calling our human!"
Raon quickly took out the device on his which created noises that made the sibling jump out in surprise.
Raon unleashes his wings since he is still not familiar with walking, rushing towards the door to quickly inform his human about the communication device that Raon has a guess who might be the person that is calling.
Seeing how Raon quickly flew away, the cats decided to follow their youngest.
"HUMAN! SOMEONE IS-" At that moment, Raon's shouts stopped in a second after his flush nose sniffed a cheesy yet tempted aroma that was roaming around the kitchen and the little scent of it could reach the stairs where Raon is currently at.
The Cat's sibling who was rushing as well stopped at that moment and looked at each other with interest.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
They came back to their senses after hearing the multiple noises coming from the device, making them realize what their true purposes are.
But their nostrils wouldn't stop sniffing and their stomach is craving what type of food is possible that their father makes.
"HUMAN! SOMEONE IS CALLING YOU- OH WHAT IS THAT?" Raon greeted Cale with his loud urgent shout that was full of curiosity.
Raon constantly hugs the back of the redhead who's wearing a pink apron with a blouse that has the two buttons, revealing his porcelain collarbone and the drops of his sweat is making him truly attractive husband material.
"Oh? This is pizza, feel free to take slices, oh by the way? Who's calling?" Cale placed the knife onto it's right place since he could harm his children if he didn't took it away from him.
He wipes the sweat that is on his forehead before he points out the round pizza that is on the table that he just finished baking.
"Pizza nya?" Hong asks in confusion even though his stomach was silently making noises, as well On and Raon are sending their curiosity to the round pizza.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Human! Crown Princ- I mean Uncle Cookie is calling you!" Raon is floating due to his wings, his adorable hands that are holding the device are going up and down to reflect his expression about it.
"I should answer it but first, eat this pizza to feed your stomach." Cale confusely stared at the device before he offered the cheesy pizza that he baked, not admitting that he put a lot of effort into it.
Growl. Growl. Growl
On stomach echo resembling the hunger that she felt since the moment she smelled the aroma of the strange round food.
Cale and the others chuckled while On covered his flush red face with her both hands.
"I am really hungry at this point nya!"
On exclaimed that Cale shook his head before his gaze returned into the ringing device.
Seems like another preparation will be settled.
____
"Greetings to the Sun of the Roan Empire who clearly could outshine the others! The 'Prince Pajamas Spears' that is written on the history who bravely fight the monster even in his pajamas that anyone could tell that you're the sun itself and-"
"Enough."
The blonde hair with his pair of blue eyes that anyone could tell that this man is the Emperor of the rising Roan Empire and was written in the history and also known as the Prince who fights the monster even in his pajamas that any citizen is obviously admiring him.
Alberu Crossman.
"Cale-nim!"
"Young master."
"Unlucky bastard."
"Teacher-nim!"
"Disrespectful as always."
"Young master silver shield!"
Different people as well appeared on the screen, making the redhead look at them confused.
"Young master, why are you wearing an apron?" Beacrox on the other screen expressed his curiosity after noticing the pink apron and the drops of sweats that Cale wiped off.
The others who just notice it also have a strange look painted on their face while looking at Cale through the screen.
"I just finished cooking the kids dinner after we finished rehearsal, by the way… Is something happening there? Why did you call me?" Cale directly answers as if 'cooking' is his usual habit which is not since witnessing Cale moving is such a rare sight and cooking? That is unbelievable.
"Dongsaeng you are cooking? No how the- no, this crazy hah- calling you? It's been two weeks since we saw each other face to face!" Alberu expressed his shock, he couldn't believe it and he really thought that Cale was too dense.
Cale will always be Cale.
"Cale-nim, you know how to cook!?"
"This unlucky one ho.."
"Young master, You truly…"
"I would be expecting to eat one of your dishes before I die."
"Cooking really?"
The late mutter in silence of the people around also expressed how shocked they were.
Cale just nodded in confusion that made the people on the screen sigh as if they already knew how Cale's brain works.
"HUMAN! PIHZHA- WHAT'S THIS FOOD CALL AGAIN, AH RIGHT! THE PIZZA THAT YOU MAKE IS CRUSTY AND DELICIOUS!" A running figure, well let's just say his running even though he's floating by the help of his little wings who is aggressively flapping due to his joy.
Coiled hair with two cute horns as well eyes that are sparkling appeared on the screen who's currently hugging the back of the redhead's back.
"You're full now right Raon? Just tell me directly if you're hungry." Cale caressed the hair of Raon, not paying attention to the bewildered reaction of the people on the call.
"Yes Human!" Raon playfully nods his head before proceeding to look at the communication device.
Alberu could be seen blinking many times as if he was questioning his remaining sanity, Choi Han on the other side couldn't hide his shock while staring at Raon who's in his form, Eruhaben as well the others, their eyes full of doubt and brows twitching.
"Is that Raon…?"
"The little kid is...ho."
"Raon-nim?"
Cale sighs before he returns his gaze towards them, "Ah, this is Raon in his humanoid form." Cale drops his words casually, leaving the people on the screen in disbelief and amusement while they glance back and forth to Cale and Raon.
"It's nice to see you everyone! I'm great and mighty Raon and this is my humanoid form!" Raon waves his hands and flaps his wings, the others probably starting to recover on their shock, some of them couldn't hide how they adore the black dragon, flush pink on their cheeks.
"Also, are you guys interested in attending a party?" Cale asks in a second, making the others who're still recovering on shock look at Cale strangely.
"Why are you asking such a question like that, Cale-nim?" Choi Han, who's probably doubting his ears, returns a question.
"Just answer it." Cale knew that he could finish another preparation today.
"I have a lot of paperworks that needed for me to handled so probably I'm not interested-"
"I'm a dragon, why would I attend such a thing?"
"The Magic Tower needs me, young master."
"This old man is too old to attend-"
" I have to train knights Cale-nim!"
Different reasons are coming out in their mouth, even though they have suspicions why would Cale ask that, they still answer it.
"Oh… I'm planning to invite people for On's Debutante." Cale replied in disappointment, leaving the others on the screen widen their eyes on the sudden words, they now realized.
"On debutante-"
"HO! Debutante-"
"Cale-nim, I changed my mind, I will attend!"
"I should attend as well."
"Where would the party be held young master?"
The people obviously take back what they said.
"It will be held 5 days from now." Cale pauses and maliciously smiles, another preparation is on proceed.
"I won't tell the address for now since I am still organizing it." Cale sighs since the people on this screen would come earlier.
Surely the preparation won't be finished if these vicious people get involved in the preparation.
Cale is sure of it.
"All of you will attend, right?"
Cale saw them all nod, including the dragons who's amusedly looking at Raon who's floating and his head is leaning on Cale's head.
"Oh, more importantly."
Cale smiles playfully.
"No gifts, no entry."
And thus, tomorrow is a great day.
Another preparation has been finished.

"What themes of debutante do you like On?"
"Princess ball concept?"
Staring at the large hall who could be seen a floating gold fabric floating because of the black dragon magic.
"This is quite fun." Cale commented while he started to sew the fabric around the table where the foods should be placed.
The children also nod as they started to follow the instructions of their father how to sew fabric.
"This is hard but fun nya!"
"Gold is really your favorite color Human!"
"I didn't know that there were easier methods to sew nya."
Cale has plans and activities for his eldest upcoming debutante.

Night time came so fast, the world was covered by a serendipity sheet of black with it's twinkling stars.
However, the mansion was quite chaotic at this moment.
"HUMAN WHERE ARE YOU?"
"CALE NYA!"
Just when the kids notice that their father went missing on their bed, they become alert and almost cry out.
They need to calm down however, how could they calm down when Cale Henituse who's peacefully sleeping beside them went missing and did not leave a single noise of footsteps?
This is a serious matter.
The kids searched every corner of the mansion but Cale Henituse is nowhere to be found.
"Human, where are you!"
"This is not a good joke nya!"
"Respond to us nya!"
Sobs of the black dragon and startling voice of the cats could be heard at the entire mansion.
"What are you guys doing there?"
Ah yes, Cale Henituse popped out of nowhere with it's pajamas and messy hair with confused expressions.
"Hoooooooman!"
"Cale nya!"
"Where were you nya!"
The children shared their words of relief as they started to run towards Cale.
"Eh?"
The redhead was extremely confused at the nervous behavior of his children and the sudden hug that Cale Henituse greets him once he gets out of the bathroom.
"Human don't scared us like that!" Sobs of the black dragon who's in dragon form to order for Cale to sleep comfortably at their bed, slowly to calm down.
The cat's sibling who switched into their human form while they urgently looked for Cale is hugging the redhead tightly.
"Calm down, I just excuse myself to the bathroom."
Cale explains what he does which is not completely true.
Since he just prepared a lot of treasures that his kid would hunt for the debutante.
"Don't you dare do that again nya!"
"You need our permission before you disappear nya!"
"Yes, yes I got it."
Cale smiles while gently caresses the hair of the cats and pat the back of the black dragon.
Their way to their bedroom was full of their noises, and thus, they went back to their sleep and not expecting another preparation had been finished.
Curious what Cale do? For what?

Sounds of the knife that is cutting different types of vegetables could be heard in the large kitchen.
The sounds of the cabbage being cutted gently yet professional by the redhead who's hair was tied into a low ponytail.
Cut. Cut. Cut. (The cabbage is so lucky owemji-)
Like a professional husband material.
Ehem ehem, excuse me.
The redhead notices the knife that he's currently using wasn't sharp enough, he picks up the chopping knife who's sharp and large enough for Cale to chop the vegetable that is needed for his care.
He started to cut the vegetable into a perfect matchstick. At the Western Continent, it took a while for the people to peel the carrots but the redhead just swiftly used his knife to peel the carrots in a perfect shape.
'I used to hear team leader-nim singing while he's cooking our dinner back then.'
Cale smiles while he starts to prepare a large cooking pot where he would put the chopped vegetables to boil for the kimchi as his main dish for the debutante.
He is planning to cook all the Korean dishes that he knows for the main dishes at the debutante.
Well, days passed and the upcoming debutante is tomorrow so Cale has a lot of things to do.
But at times like this, Cale couldn't help it but to reminisce those memories from his previous world.
'I remember those lyrics as well.'
At the same time, On, Raon and Hong with the mana communication device are silently giggling at Alberu as well as the others who are also having a chat with the children.
"I didn't know that my dongsaeng could wake up so early."
"That unlucky bastard is really unpredictable."
"Yes! Human is talented but weak!"
"Cale-nim surely is a good person."
"But why are you going to the kitchen-"
Beacrox words got cut off by the sudden voice that everyone could tell who's the owner of that deep yet lazily voice.
"Tayotayo tayotayo gaegujaengi kkoma beoseu" (Tayo, Tayo, Tayo, Tayo, he's a friendly little bus)
The soft voice roams around the kitchen, it also reaches the door of the kitchen where the children are currently at.
The three individuals stiffen at the sight of Cale wearing a pink apron while he's professionally handling the vegetables and picking up the seasoning . It was smiling while it was singing random Korean words that he just reminisced about just a while ago.
But of course, on the other side, Tasha, who once recorded the anthem of the Western Continent that Cale secretly sang on the coronation day, swiftly took out his recording device.
"Bungbungbung ssingssingssing dallineun ge neomu joa" (Speeding up, slowing down, Tayo always loves to run)
As Cale continued to adorably mutter and sing those Korean words that he clearly remembers since the meaning of those words were pretty childish, but it's not like he cares about it.
Unexpectedly to his plans, On and Raon as well Hong with the device that is activated were watching Cale sang, it was unfamiliar to them but it was cute, so cute to the point that even the dragons at the other side have burning cheeks.
"Tayotayo tayotayo gaegujaengi kkoma beoseu" (Tayo, Tayo, Tayo, Tayo, he's a friendly little bus)
Cale smiles wholeheartedly while he starts to wear the gloves and carefully drag onto the chopping board the meat that is on the fridge.
"Cale-nim…"
"That is multitasking…"
"Where did young master-"
"Shhh magic stones may be precious but this sight is rare so shhh."
The others could see how Cale easily handles the knife and chop the meat, their jaws drop since Cale singing, the voice that is lazily but gentle of Cale Henituse is too much at their heart. But singing while cooking is at another level of their shock.
"Bungbungbung ssingssingssing hamkke gaja jaeminneun yeohaeng" (Speeding up, slowing down, Tayo's always having fun)
Cale who's enjoying it unexpectedly remembers that there are dance steps for this song as well, he positions his arms according to the dance steps, he moves his hands like he was driving a car and his feet move backwards and forth.
The other jaws constantly drop once again, it was rare sights but it is too much for their heart, Raon places the device stealthy that Cale wouldn't see and he glances at the device and places his pointed finger to his mouth indicating to keep quiet.
On glance at Raon and Hong, she smiles playfully as if she is certain that her gaze could be read by the two, but of course it is true, they quickly memorized the lyrics since they were learning Korean back then, so it's not hard to pronounce those words.
Cale just tried to sing the chorus but he heard the familiar harmony that he just sang from his back.
"Tayotayo tayotayo gaegujaengi kkoma beoseu" On is the first to sing the verse that is followed by Raon and Hong's adorable voice.
Cale did not expect it so he looked at his back and he curved a smile as he came back from what he was doing.
This is really fun, he thought.
"Bungbungbung ssingssingssing dallineun ge neomu joa" Cale joined in as he started to shake his hips indicating that he's listening and that made the children chuckle out loud.
"This is a miracle…"
"My dongsaeng surely has a cute side."
"Cale-nim is adorable…"
"Shhhh quiet, I'm recording."
"Tayotayo tayotayo gaegujaengi kkoma beoseu" Raon in his human form is shaking his butt and Hong is jumping aggressively while On is chuckling.
It was fun.
"How do young master learn such cooking?" Beacrox asked.
The song ended and they could hear the full laughter on the screen, they were relieved and surprised by the actions of Cale Henituse.
"Maybe Cale-nim…"
"Young master nim knows how to cook, I think because of…"
A sudden realization and conclusion comes to their head, well except for Choi Han and Alberu who have the same reaction as the others because they remembered how Cale described his life as Kim Rok Soo, they finally know why Cale knew how to cook.
But the others, they subconsciously gulp and teary look at the screen.
It's because they remembered that Cale used to be a trash and maybe, Cale knew secretly how to cook because they remembered Cale life motto, it includes the word surviving.
"Hey, you guys will be my assistant on my cooking Kay?" Raon muttered the word 'Human' many times, On started to find the remaining apron while shaking its head, Hong was hugging Cale back and purred.
"Young master nim…"
They now remembered how hard Cale went through these past few years. They clench their fist and look at the screen with determination.
"We would bet our lives for you to be happy Cale Henituse." That's the lines that their each gaze meant.
But of course Tasha has recordings that spread widely through the Continent.
And soon, a nursery rhyme made by Cale Henituse, the hero who will never be seen in this world, is created.
Cale didn't know anything as he started to cook all the foods for his eldest daughter debutante with his children.

The hall has a light atmosphere and a round table where unfamiliar foods mixed with the common foods is placed. A crowd of people that are familiar to each other were discussing wholeheartedly since the people who were invited are familiar and true to each other.
"It's delicious." Alberu Crossman with it's blonde hair and black tuxedo while eating a Korean chicken commented, the whole area seems likely to be amazed by the foods that they willingly eaten since the hero of the Continent were rumours the one who cook all the foods.
"As expected of Cale-nim!"Choi Han eyes were shining so delightfully after he finished a plate of kimchi that is also known from Korea, Choi Han miss these dishes and he was truly happy after eating the dishes from his hometown, and not to mention, what could he ask for if the one who cook it was Cale Henituse?
All the people around the are were expressing their comments about the foods while they are chatting, whale tribe, Tiger tribe, wolf tribe as well the Mercenary King with his Mage, the dragons who's chatting at the corner, Alberu with Choi Han and the Molan duo is present at the hall, Rosalyn, with the sun god twins as well with Mary is also at there and lastly.
"As expected of the legend!" Clopeh Sekka was savoring the foods that he's unfamiliar with and couldn't help but to praise his god once again.
"It's not that bad…" Beacrox shared his comment, but truly, the taste could be rival to his cooking. Ron on the other side shakes his head as if he knows what's in the mind of his son while he puts another stick of Korean BBQ to his mouth.
The hall was chaotic enough and they were peacefully waiting for the main character to arrive at the hall.
Meanwhile…
"You look beautiful Noona nya!" A red cat with rose hair that is wearing a black tuxedo with a red ribbon, as well as a red rose on his pocket that makes him look so handsome in his teens along with the smiley expression of him.
"Noona you look pretty!" A coiled hair with beautiful horns as well sparkling eyes, white tuxedo that makes his coiled hair recognizable, he looks at the silver haired, On with amazement.
"Happy birthday On." Cale Henituse with a black tuxedo is exquisitely cut and a perfect match for his suave manners. A curve on his lips that every heart of a girl could quickly fall deeply in love with.
"Cale… you flatter me…" On who's cover with resplendent in shades of flowing blue. Veils on her dress that makes the design of the gown so recognizable and admirable, blue butterflies that are beautifully attached to the gown and protecting her covetously curves, heels that are not too high and not too short, her silver hair that freely flutters along with her movements.
"May this father of yours escort you, On?" Cale giggling offers his hands towards her daughter, Hong and Raon who's staring at On gently.
She chuckled and tried to prevent her eyes from becoming teary.
She took the hands of her father and smiled.
"Let's go Papa."
They started to walk towards the hall that they prepared for this day, the real event starts at this from now on.
