Chapter 265 – Wedding (3)
“So, what is that hidden secret?”
[If you know, you’ll be in big trouble, so it’s better not to know. Find my ID sooner than that.]
A few days after the vacation, I received a consensus to do the method suggested by the Almighty, and now I am sitting in front of my laptop at home, looking for information about the dubious national secret that the Almighty spoke of. It is said that it is a ledger that contains information about very secret and illegal transactions that she participated in during her youngest years, and she said that she put the ledger in a cloud service called [SG Drive].
“But why did you put it in a cloud service? Wouldn’t it have been better to just keep it as a ledger?”
[Because I had to check and update it from time to time, and it was something that should not be in the hands of others after I die.]
“Then Choi Yeon-ju is already dead, so she wouldn’t have lost that file too? No one pays for maintenance. If you want to pay with your personal money.”
I said that while flicking my mouse in front of the SG drive’s main screen. In fact, I was very skeptical of the possibility that Choi Yeon-joo’s data would still remain in this cloud service. Because it’s been a while since she died. If you buried it in the ground like slush funds, would the cloud files remain?
Almighty said:
[In the first place, it is a cloud for security, so it does not ask for my personal information. You probably don’t even know that I use that cloud. As I vaguely remember, there was quite a bit of contract period left… Well, that sounds like what you’re saying.]
“So what is your ID?”
[…That’s right.]
When I asked for my ID and password by tapping the keyboard on my laptop, Almighty Emperor blinked his eyes as he became dumb. I was speechless when I saw her do it.
“…Id. Don’t you remember?”
[…I must have written it down somewhere…]
The Almighty Emperor’s voice was gradually creeping in. It had been trapped on the floor for thousands of years. I must have lost all the trivial things in my old memories, so it was natural that I couldn’t remember the password. But isn’t the timing too bad to do this now? I boasted about what would happen if I had the unknown ‘that file’, but I couldn’t remember the password and ended up going back to nothing.
I couldn’t help it, but I couldn’t help it. The Almighty Emperor said while groping for vague memories.
[Wait. Obviously, I must have made a note somewhere.]
“Think slowly.”
I didn’t push her like that. Leaning back on the sofa in the living room, she just stared at Ain, who was fast asleep in the cradle. Her baby girl was asleep, with her eyes and fists closed and her arms and legs spread wide. I kicked back the quilt that was sticking out of the cradle and patted her on the head.
Her downy hair covered her soft forehead.
“Uh.”
The Almighty in his heart was quietly thinking. I decided to rough her housework before she could recall her memories again. I collected the laundry, threw it into the washing machine, and sprayed detergent foam on the dishes I had eaten in the morning.
As Seong Ha-yeon started working as a hunter again, the person taking a break decided to take care of the housework. Today was the day I did housework while taking care of Ah-in. If you touch the fluffy foam while wearing rubber gloves, the messy sink turns white before you know it.
The washing machine was spinning, and I opened the refrigerator to eat lunch.
“Oh, I washed the dishes. Should I just order it?”
Did you say that the reason students gain weight is because of this psychology? While thinking of simple foods to eat, I thought of the delicious jangjorim that Seong Ha-yeon’s parents sent me, and decided to just eat. After all, letting side dishes rot in the refrigerator was something I couldn’t do.
“Did you remember?”
Meal time. Neither Ichi nor Yujeong were in the seat next to me. His Holiness Year also circled her gates. Taking the seat next to me today was a pad with a twisted v-tube. There was no answer, perhaps because the Almighty was engrossed in thoughts.
[Virtual YouTuber hot clip video]
Like my father who had dinner while watching the old news, I put the spoon in my mouth, focusing my eyes on the pad. When you take a piece of jangjorim, put it on top of white rice, tear the kimchi, roll it, and put it in your mouth at once, the salty yet spicy crunch spreads in your mouth and you take a deep breath.
“Ooh, good.”
While I was shaking my head, a hot clip of a new virtual YouTuber that is said to be popular these days was coming out on YouTube. There was even a saying that he was a rookie threatening Nyang Nyang-seok’s position, but the character modeling was so beautiful that I, who didn’t even watch Jun-seok’s videos, thoughtlessly clicked on it.
[Today, let’s play ‘Samurai Bikini Girls’, an action game made in Japan!]
“Oh.”
Upon hearing the title, I exclaimed and then looked around again. Fortunately, Ahin was still asleep, and no one noticed me. Recalling the title of Samurai Bikini Girls, I asked Almighty Emperor a question.
“Sir Almighty. If you like historical dramas, then you also like Japanese historical dramas. Did you say it was a period drama?”
[History?]
Almighty Emperor suddenly showed a unique reaction when I asked a question about historical dramas. When she was unable to answer a single question she asked, wondering if I had touched something wrong, Almighty Emperor began to nod her head while answering questions alone.
[History… History… Yes, historical dramas… Ah! Okay! It was a historical drama! History!]
She screamed so loudly that it startled me, who was idly stirring the air with a spoon. I jumped up and looked around like someone who had fallen asleep and was awakened by the sound of applause.
“It’s a surprise. What?”
[Your ID! It was a historical drama! Yes, I made it because I enjoyed watching historical dramas at the time, but… ! What is it? Title?]
“Wait. I’ll give you a rough overview of historical dramas from about five years ago and let you know the titles.”
When she said that she found out the ID, I was startled and stopped YouTube playing on the pad. And in 2010, I started looking for historical dramas and reciting them one by one.
“Dangun Wangsword?”
[No.]
“Hong Gil Dong?”
[No.]
“Cruel history of court maids?”
[Okay! That was a similar name!]
“…Hairy?”
[Right! It was hairy! Hairy! In addition to Damoe, what was added was the ID code…]
A sad voice resounded so vividly that the Almighty Emperor stomped his feet. I thought while wrapping my head. Because Almighty liked historical dramas. Isn’t it the birthday of the historical drama character?
“Shall we celebrate the main character’s birthday?”
I put the birthday I searched on the Internet next to damo and entered it.
A blue window popped up for a moment, then the loading time passed and a black notice appeared.
[Please enter a password.]
The Almighty shouted.
[Done!]
I too was thrilled and raised my hands and shouted.
“Nice!”
And Ahin woke up at the sound and started crying. I was startled and started to comfort her child by hugging her.
“Oh, oh, are you surprised? Are you surprised? I’m sorry dad. Let’s not cry. Come on, be nice.”
After that, it was very easy to figure out the password. It was because Choi Yeon-joo had trouble remembering all the passwords, so she changed one of them.
“Still, it’s not asd123.”
[Thanks to you, didn’t you find it so quickly?]
I had nothing to say at her words, so I could only nod my head in the end. And in front of me was a secret ledger that she had made and a file with several e-mail addresses.
*****
A few days later, a man in a black suit appeared in front of our house. They were carrying thick file folders, and their faces were stiff. Even just by looking at them, I could sense that they were people doing secret work under orders from high-ranking people.
They were expecting us to sign the papers they presented. I took the paperwork on behalf of my family and started reading it. There were no particularly strange treaties, only one request.
Instead of doing this ‘administrative process’, forget all the information about the mail we sent you. Everyone nodded. I asked with a pen.
“Ah, then I just need to sign this document?”
“Yes. If you need family relations documents or certificates in the future, please contact us and we will send them right away. So, instead of going to the district office, I think you can call me here at this number.”
“Ah yes. Thank you.”
After simply signing and handing over the documents, the men in black suits disappeared from the hallway of the house like the shadows of noon. We checked the contents of the thick briefcase and laughed at each other.
It was because all of my wives’ spouses’ names were unified as [Jeong Soo-hyun].
I heard the Almighty speak in a pleasant voice.
[How is it? After all, there is no one to trust but me, right?]
“As expected, Almighty Emperor is the best.”
I gave her a thumbs up. In fact, she was no different than raising her thumb in the air, but she seemed to like that in its own way. Seong Ha-yeon leaned against her wall and said.
“Now…”
She slurred her tongue, but there was only one word to follow.
I said with a smile.
“You have to get married. Now.”
