EP.131 Kuyamoto’s Cherry Blossom (3)

“I will take full responsibility for the child in your womb. However, I ask for your understanding on these two conditions.”

The two conditions Kang Seo-jun requested from Kuyamoto Sakura were:

First, to delay visiting the Kuyamoto family for six months.

Second, to accompany him for a few days starting today.

“U- um….”

Sakura bit her lower lip and groaned.

“Six months is too long!”

Even with her limited knowledge of sexual matters, Sakura knew that the average human pregnancy lasted about ten months. In six months, the child in her womb would have grown enough to visibly confirm the pregnancy. By then, no matter how much she tried to hide it, the sensitive Kuyamoto family members would surely notice the changes in her body.

“I can’t hide the pregnancy until then!”

If they went to the main house right now and confessed the pregnancy together, promising to take responsibility, her family would likely not scold Kang Seo-jun and her too harshly. However, if they hid the pregnancy for six months and then got caught, it would be a completely different story. Her family would never forgive Kang Seo-jun for not staying by Sakura’s side for six months and for not confessing the truth earlier.

“If we hide the pregnancy and get caught, you’ll be in danger, not me!”

“Hah!”

Park Tae-ho snorted and laughed at Sakura’s words.

“It seems you’re mistaken. My grandson-in-law is not someone your swordsmen can handle.”

“What did you say?”

Sakura frowned and glared at Park Tae-ho.

“My grandson-in-law is only agreeing to your demands because he’s a good person. He’s not someone you can mess with.”

Park Tae-ho crossed his arms and looked down at Sakura indifferently.

“Instead, you should mind your behavior. If you harm even a hair on my grandson-in-law, the Kuyamoto clan will become Taesan’s prey that very day.”

“W- what!?”

“Ahhh! Why do you keep fighting!”

Kang Seo-jun hurriedly intervened to stop Sakura from lunging at Park Tae-ho.

“Kang Seo-bang.”

Park Tae-ho, completely unfazed by the angry Sakura, asked.

“I need an explanation too. I can’t quite grasp what you’re thinking right now. I know you have a strong sense of responsibility…. But what do you mean by going to the Kuyamoto main house in six months? Are you planning to maintain two households?”

“Well….”

He did intend to maintain two households, but the way something is expressed can make a big difference.

“Don’t worry. I’m just going to take responsibility for what I’ve done.”

“Hmm….”

“…You make it sound like it’s something that can be resolved quickly.”

This time, Sakura shot back at Kang Seo-jun with a pouty face.

“Taking responsibility for a child is a lifelong commitment! It’s something that might not be enough even if you dedicate your entire life to it!”

“Of course.”

Kang Seo-jun nodded as he looked at Sakura.

“I will do everything I can to ensure that the child in your womb grows up healthy and happy. And.”

Kang Seo-jun stepped closer to Sakura and met her eyes.

“I will also take full responsibility for you, who carries my child.”

“U- um…!?”

Sakura bit her lip and blushed. Though she was beautiful and lacked nothing, to most men, she was like a flower on a cliff, never having heard such words from any man before.

‘W- what is this feeling…?’

The straightforward kindness from Kang Seo-jun and the sincerity he exuded were a fresh and stimulating experience for her.

“Sigh….”

Watching this, Park Tae-ho let out a deep sigh.

“If you insist on saying that, I have no choice.”

Park Tae-ho also understood Kang Seo-jun’s situation to some extent. Heroes often have many romantic entanglements.

‘I had many such experiences in my youth too.’

During his prime as an [SS+] grade hunter, he had countless relationships with many women. If his wife, who was now a star in the sky, hadn’t been a true yandere, Park Tae-ho might have built a harem instead of the Taesan Group.

“I’ll wait.”

Therefore, Park Tae-ho fully understood Kang Seo-jun’s situation.

“But don’t neglect Seo-yoon. I’m sure you can handle that.”

Kang Seo-jun smiled and responded.

“Of course. Thank you.”

Kang Seo-jun had expected Park Tae-ho to understand. He was a man’s man, after all.

“…But keep this a secret from Seo-yoon for now. She won’t be able to understand it right now, even if she might later.”

“…Understood.”

That was a welcome suggestion for Kang Seo-jun as well. Given that Park Tae-ho’s wife had been a true yandere, Park Seo-yoon, who inherited her blood, could also turn yandere at any moment if given the right trigger.

“Wait a minute. You still need to talk more with me!”

Sakura placed her hands on her hips and spoke up.

“As I said earlier, six months is too long! Even if we hide the pregnancy until then, my grandfather or father will surely notice it soon. And if they find out that way, you’ll be in danger.”

“You don’t need to worry about that.”

Kang Seo-jun looked straight into Sakura’s eyes as he spoke.

“Six months is the maximum grace period I have set. In reality, it is more likely that I will visit within three to four months.”

“Hmm…. Three… four months….”

That might be manageable….

“And I guarantee.”

Kang Seo-jun placed his large hands on Sakura’s shoulders as if to reassure her.

“By that time, everything will be perfectly resolved.”

By the time Kang Seo-jun set foot in the Kuyamoto main house, he would already be one of the top hunters in the world. The Kuyamoto clan, which revered strength and martial prowess, would surely welcome Sakura’s pregnancy and Kang Seo-jun with open arms.

“Ah….”

Sakura looked into Kang Seo-jun’s eyes as if she were entranced. His words lacked concrete logic or evidence, but there was an inexplicable force that made people believe him. Whether it was the warmth from his hands or the determination in his eyes, she couldn’t tell.

‘I don’t know.’

Being near him made her heart race and her mind go blank.

“Ah!”

Only then did Sakura realize that Kang Seo-jun’s hands were on her shoulders.

– Slap!! –

Sakura roughly slapped his hands away and shouted.

“Don’t touch me without permission! Are you trying to make me pregnant with twins!?”

“Oh.”

Kang Seo-jun massaged his stinging wrist.

The strength of [S-] grade was quite formidable. If his physical specs were below [A] grade, his wrist might have broken.

“So, what do you plan to do now?” Park Tae-ho asked, crossing his arms.

“Our original plan was for you and me to move together for a week, wasn’t it? We still need to finish up here.”

“Yes. Let me explain the new plan.”

Kang Seo-jun looked back and forth between Sakura and Park Tae-ho as he spoke.

“First, we’ll finish farming here, and I’d like to ask you, Grandfather, to handle the dungeons.”

“Dungeons?”

“Yes. I’ll give you the coordinates later. They are all dungeons below [Epic] grade, and you can mine various resources from them. They will greatly benefit Taesan’s business.”

“Oh….”

“And Miss Kuyamoto.”

“…You can call me by my name.”

Since they would soon be introducing themselves to her family together, it felt awkward to use her surname.

“Then, Miss Sakura. As I mentioned earlier, there’s a place I want to go with you immediately.”

“Ah, about that.”

It wasn’t Sakura who responded, but Park Tae-ho.

“What are you planning to do alone with that young lady?”

It seemed he was concerned about his grandson-in-law traveling alone with another woman.

“I’m planning to give her an opportunity that suits her. It’s for the future of Taesan and East Asia.”

“…I see. If that’s the reason, I can accept it.”

“…An opportunity?”

“Yes.”

It wasn’t just an excuse to create an opportunity to make her pregnant. There was indeed an opportunity he needed to give her.

‘I need to teach her the Taiji Wisdom Sword.’

Currently, Sakura used the ‘Yamato-ryu,’ the traditional swordsmanship of the Kuyamoto clan. Yamato-ryu was a swordsmanship imbued with yang energy, making it unsuitable for a woman with naturally strong yin energy.

However, learning the Taiji Wisdom Sword would change everything.

If Sakura learned the Taiji Wisdom Sword, she could harmonize the yin energy with the yang energy of Yamato-ryu, awakening the ‘True Yamato-ryu.’

‘And…’

The Taiji Wisdom Sword, which contained the profound principles of yin-yang circulation, was a martial art that achieved faster progress when practiced by a man and a woman together. By training day and night with her and mixing their innate yin and yang energies, they could advance the Taiji Wisdom Sword by at least one star each day.

‘It’s the perfect timing to grow my martial arts.’

By raising all his stats to ’35’ with 《Brilliant Cradle of the Young Divine Emperor》 and training the Taiji Wisdom Sword with Sakura to reach the [Legendary] grade, there would be almost no one outside the tower who could rival Kang Seo-jun.

‘If I farm [Mythic] grade items while cutting down villain organizations with the Taiji Wisdom Sword, I can quickly reach all stats 40.’

With all stats at ’40,’ his pure specs would be [SS+]. His practical specs would be [SSS] grade.

‘I need to finish farming the hideout quickly and spend time with Sakura.’

This was the moment Kang Seo-jun began his sprint towards [SSS] grade.
