『Today, during the meal, Kim Suhyun was publicly “executed.”
It all started with an utterly random question from Jegal Haesol: “Whose chest do you like best?”
After a long pause, Kim Suhyun answered.
“With its bouncy firmness, no one can beat Go Yeonju. For milky softness and tenderness, no one surpasses Im Hanna. Han Soyoung’s chest combines all these qualities, and Mercedes (Mannyeonseol) possesses an indescribable charm. I used to think these four women were incomparable. But, as it turns out, there’s always someone beyond the beyond… Yes, her chest is like a peak dusted with white powder, almost like pure 100% white narcotics…”
After saying this, Kim Suhyun was dragged away by the furious hands of several wives, and what happened to him afterward remains unknown.
From this conversation, it’s clear beyond doubt that Kim Suhyun ranks women’s breasts as a priority in his sexual preferences. (Though there are exceptions, like Kim Hangbyeol, who succeeded by appealing with other features, we’ll set those aside here.)
The important point is that, as he himself revealed, there is indeed someone “beyond the beyond.”
Though the name was cut off mid-sentence, there are clues.
The owner of the “white narcotic” chest, as revealed by the War God, is probably…』

“I want to have Suhyun’s baby.”
It was a straightforward, refreshingly honest statement—so very Seraph.
Of course, it was also, in a way, a bombshell.
But what could anyone do?
This was Seraph’s true feeling.
The tense atmosphere in the restaurant instantly calmed.
Voices of disbelief echoed from all sides, and Excalibur slipped slightly, clattering against the floor as it began to hum—a somewhat angry vibration.
Kim Yuhyun’s eyes widened dramatically.
Her pupils stretched wide, filled with a look of shock.
Normally, she would have been furious.
But no one is perfect, and even the Divine Emperor has flaws.
“Suhyun’s…?”
Kim Yuhyun’s one weakness was losing her composure whenever Kim Suhyun was involved.
No wonder Jinmyung called her a “sibling fool.”
“A baby…?”
“Yes. Suhyun’s baby.”
“A nephew…?”
“Yes. A cute baby who looks like Suhyun.”
Before long, Kim Yuhyun’s eyes glazed over as she stared blankly at the ceiling.
In hindsight, she had already seen her nephew.
A daughter who resembled both Kim Suhyun and Go Yeonju, whom she adored.
When the two had agonized over the decision to raise their first child entirely in the modern world, how much she had opposed and regretted it.
Recalling that, Kim Yuhyun kept muttering, “Cute nephew…?” even gently stroking the cover of a book she held tightly.
She looked ready to scoop the child up on her back at any moment.
Then, suddenly snapping back to reality, she slammed her hand on the table.
“No! Thinking about a baby already! It’s admirable, but don’t you think it’s too soon?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Since we’re on the topic, do you even know what kind of person our Suhyun is?”
“I will listen carefully.”
“It’s not about listening… We barely know each other, don’t we?”
“If you have questions, I’ll answer them honestly and sincerely, without a single lie.”
As Kim Yuhyun spoke passionately, Go Yeonju lowered her head.
Her trusted brother-in-law had lost this round.
Whether intentional or not, Seraph had struck a nerve with the keyword “nephew.”
No one could stop Kim Yuhyun now.
While Go Yeonju covered her face with both hands, the conversation shifted to a background check.
“Rather than age, by the grace of the Celestial God, she was born 174 years ago this year.”
“174… I don’t really get it. How old would that be in human years? Roughly?”
“About seventeen to nineteen.”
“So, a high school girl… Hmm. Well, different species and all… By the way, this Celestial God you mentioned—is that like a parent?”
“Yes.”
“I’m not sure, but the family seems decent… Oh, does she have a real name? ‘Seraph’ sounds more like a nickname.”
“Seraph is my name. It’s a kind of title given to the highest-ranking angel among the nine orders of angels…”
“The highest? Wait a minute. So, when you were in school, you must have been good at studying?”
“Ah… It’s embarrassing to say, but I was top of the class.”
“Oh… really?”
The tone softened considerably.
Age is appropriate, family background is solid, and she’s smart.
Any doubts had long since been pushed aside, and Kim Yuhyun’s mind was entirely focused on her nephew.
By the way, Kim Yuhyun was a firm believer in genetics.
“I never thought he’d actually do it. I’m really disappointed in you, brother-in-law.”
On the first-floor lounge.
Kim Hanbyeol sat on a plush sofa, rubbing her full stomach, her voice deflated.
“Couldn’t be helped. Who would’ve guessed he’d pull out the unbeatable nephew card?”
Go Yeonju sighed deeply, then continued, licking her lips.
“Honestly, what I really aimed for was the background check. I wanted to knock him down a peg there…”
“But he passed with flying colors. Watching it reminded me of old times.”
Jung Hayeon smiled slyly.
Kim Hanbyeol pouted.
Did she have bad memories of background checks?
“Maybe it’s a lie? Maybe she made it up. Honestly, among us, only Hayeon passed the brother-in-law’s background check.”
“No, I was just barely satisfactory. The only one who truly passed was Soyoung.”
“Who?”
“Soyoung. Not just passing—she completely shut him up.”
“Well, with someone like her…” Kim Hanbyeol nodded, while Go Yeonju remained deep in thought.
The Shadow Queen’s intuition told her Seraph would be a formidable rival.
Glancing sideways, Kim Hanbyeol and Jung Hayeon were deep in conversation, while Im Hanna was still absorbed in her communication orb.
“Hanna? Say something…”
Go Yeonju started, then hesitated.
She noticed a cold, icy expression on Im Hanna’s face.
Even Excalibur, leaning against the sofa beside her, trembled with anger.
A strange spy crossed Go Yeonju’s mind briefly, but more importantly, it was unusual for the ever-kind Im Hanna to wear such a look.
Checking the communication orb discreetly, Go Yeonju soon wore the same expression.
So did Kim Hanbyeol and Jung Hayeon.
On the screen in the office was a woman.
A neat, short-haired maid in a corset outfit, with gently closed eyes and a small beauty mark.
She looked like a modest maid on the surface but exuded a subtle, decadent allure.
Kim Suhyun was burying his nose in her ripe breasts, which seemed ready to burst free if a button popped.
Whenever he tried to pull away awkwardly, the woman gently stroked the back of his head with a soft smile.
She even blushed slightly.
“…Who is she?”
“Known as Mannyeonseol.”
A brief silence followed.
Not a long one.
“To be honest, I was willing to accept Seraph.”
“Me too.”
“Right?” Go Yeonju said quietly, standing from the sofa.
She was tired of getting angry and had no intention of dirtying her hands.
Besides, there was someone else who specialized in handling these matters—the incarnation of jealousy whom Kim Suhyun feared most.
Coincidentally, Go Yeonju spotted a woman walking nearby, glancing around.
She raised her hand.
“Han Soyoung! Perfect timing!”
“?”
“She’s been desperately looking for you. Hurry up and go to the office! Quickly!”
“!”
Having come looking for her anyway, Han Soyoung quickly climbed the stairs as if flying.
Then, as if from nowhere, Excalibur flew through the air and landed firmly in her hand.
As if it knew she would need it.

It’s January 1, 2016.
Looking back, 2015 really flew by…
For me, it was a year full of regrets.
ㅜ.ㅠ
Ah, dear readers.
The first episode of the Memorize Visual Novel has been released.
If you visit www.hallplain.com, you can watch not only the previously released trailer but also the new opening video and play the first episode of the visual novel.
I’d appreciate it if you could take a look and leave a brief review. (__)
Also, there are two ongoing events you might want to join.
Personally, I think it’s well made.
The art is good (I’m especially happy with how Kim Hanbyeol, An Sol, and Lee Yujeong turned out), and the writer who adapted the scenario paid incredible attention to detail.
They fixed every part I thought needed improvement.
Honestly, I was a bit surprised. ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
While some parts follow the original story, there are also brand-new developments and characters, so please look forward to it.
That’s all for the visual novel talk.
I’ll do my best not to slack off in the new year.
Wishing all readers a very happy new year! :)
P.S. The website www.hallplain.com has a system for banned words, and I’ve strongly requested that they add the term “로유미” to the banned list. Just a little heads-up, in case you were wondering. Hehe.
