Chapter 49: Home Education is Incredible!
Even though I’d already decided on my admission, nothing changed about attending the academy until winter break. My plan was to escape this place, free myself from Im Su-yeon’s oppression and tyranny, and build my own kingdom in a new world, but for now...
“...Just one year. Can’t you stay for just one more year?”
It seemed this was a shocking development for my Fluffy Teacher, Lee Ji-yeon.
“No. I’m going to school now. I’m going to become an adult.”
“Sniff... hic... If our Yong-hwan leaves... Teacher won’t have anything left to live for.”
Lee Ji-yeon was being pathetic. Our relationship was purely one where we used each other’s bodies for our own purposes. But it seemed she’d grown attached somewhere along the line.
Among the many mounts I could ride, her ride quality was actually quite good. However, this was about escaping Im Su-yeon—no, it was about following the path to adulthood much faster than a brat like Im Su-yeon.
“Ji-yeon, you’re a kind and wonderful Fluffy Teacher! You can do it!”
“No, I can’t. I can’t...”
I didn’t know why I had to comfort a teacher at my age, but since I’d grown fond of her while training her as a mount—slapping her breasts and buttocks—I figured I should humiliate her a little more before I left.
“No, our Ji-yeon can do it! You can do even better!”
“Sniff... hic... Then, will you marry me?”
I looked at the teacher, who was wearing fluffy sheep horns, as she stared at me with shimmering eyes.
“Why would I?”
“Waaaaah!”
I made the Fluffy Teacher cry. I had to fix this.
“First, calm down...”
I soothed her. In times like this, persuasion was key.
“Now, listen. You’re pretty, Lee Ji-yeon, but you’re lacking compared to the other sisters I’m currently training.”
“Hwaaaaaaaah!!!”
Lee Ji-yeon covered her face and began to wail. Honestly, she was on the prettier side. Excluding celebrities on TV, my mom’s friends, or the mid-boss level mounts and sisters in the underworld, she was definitely attractive.
But I had to be honest with her.
“And considering your salary, you can’t provide enough for me to live as a 'househusband'—which is just a fancy word for doing nothing and blowing money on toys and game consoles.”
“Sniff... hic... I actually have a decent inheritance...”
“How much...? Oh, never mind that then.”
From the sounds of it, she came from a fairly wealthy family. I was already targeting Iris and Grisia for Plan Z, but it seemed okay to consider the Fluffy Teacher as a low-volatility safe asset.
“And I don’t know about being a mount, but if you want a position higher than that, your current status won’t cut it. Go grow more, study more, and then come back.”
“...If I become an Elementary School teacher, will you marry me?”
“No, but I might consider making you my pet.”
Lee Ji-yeon sniffled and began to wipe her tears.
“Then I guess I’ll have to start by becoming an Elementary School teacher.”
I had no idea what was going through her head, but the Fluffy Sheep Teacher stood up as if she’d made a grand resolution. I admired her confidence in thinking she could just switch jobs whenever she wanted.
“...Good luck!”
I didn’t know how it would turn out, but I had no choice but to cheer her on. The Sheep Teacher turned around and offered her rear to me.
“Master, since it’s the last time...”
It was a bit absurd that this was her way of saying goodbye, but it wasn’t hard to give a little strength to someone trying to achieve something.
I raised my hand. Lee Ji-yeon was looking at me with a face full of anticipation.
“Work hard, you bitch!”
—Slap!
“Ahhn!”
I wanted to go home. I felt like I was losing my mind. But I was a professional in the service industry.
“Cry like a sheep! Don’t make human sounds when you’re just a female!”
—Slap!
“Baaaaaaa~!”
The Fluffy Teacher let out a cry befitting her status. Yes, this was it.
“I’ll... I’ll definitely come back as a female worthy of Master.”
With those words, Lee Ji-yeon left her workplace along with me on the day of the winter break ceremony.
Since I already had plenty of biological mounts, I secretly hoped she wouldn’t come back.

“Yong-hwan, do you want to go to a ski resort with Mommy~?”
“No.”
Vacation was a precious fruit of civilization. I was willing to go to a beach where women wore bikinis, showing off their lewd bodies and shaking their tits to turn their sons into members of the Incest Squad, but I had no reason to go to a place where everyone was bundled up with my mom.
“Aunt Seoha is asking why you aren’t coming to learn the violin.”
“I’m resting this week!”
Now that the Green Brachiosaurus Beta XII was back in my hands, I didn’t have time to play with that Pink Head loser.
“I thought you said you were going to play with Hindel. Are you not going?”
“If she keeps being annoying, Hindel is disqualified from being a Mama! Tell her that!”
What was I supposed to do about this popularity? I wanted to spend the last winter before Elementary School productively, but people kept contacting me from all over to do useless things.
Maybe the problem was that I’d told all the sisters I’d visit them or asked them to take me places when the vacation started, just to be polite.
They should have just taken it as a courtesy, but these old maid sisters were so desperate to spend time with me that it was getting annoying.
“Aunt Cassia wants you to come over. You don’t want to go?”
“Nope! Wait, who’s Aunt Cassia?”
I didn’t think I’d ever heard that name among the people I knew.
“You met her last time. Don’t you remember the soldier auntie?”
The memory started to surface. That crazy soldier sister with the radical ideology that men should be beaten more often than every three days.
I remembered her because she was a silver-haired, silver-eyed, squinty-eyed character. I think her chest was big, too.
“Men don’t get dragged into the military! So I’m not going!”
“She said she has the robots you like. She said she’d show you tanks and all sorts of things.”
My heart began to waver.
“How many tanks...?”
“Mommy isn’t sure... but she said she’d take you to a museum, too.”
“How big are the robots?”
“Hmm... probably about 10 meters tall?”
Well, then I had no choice.
“Yong-hwan, what are you doing?”
“Packing my clothes! Let’s go to Sister Cassia!”
How could I, who couldn’t even resist dinosaurs, resist real-life robots?
“First, I’ll contact Cassia and coordinate the dates...”
“If we don’t go now, I’m not going at all!”
Mom let out a long sigh and immediately made a call. It was surely to the soldier sister.
“It’s me, Hindel. Yeah, Yong-hwan...”
I didn’t know why she was calling the dragon, but as soon as the call ended, Mom started neatly packing clothes into a carrier.
I hugged Grasha and watched my mom’s butt as she worked hard. It was a magnificent butt, especially for a "virgin" with three kids.
“Why aren’t you helping Mommy, Oppa? Unnie helped!”
“Oppa is a man, so I don’t have to do things like this.”
“That’s mean!”
Our youngest started talking nonsense to me, even though she was also just watching Mom work. I was talking back, but honestly, a kid would only get in the way of packing, so staying still was actually helping.
“Watch closely, Grasha. This is what you’ll have to do when you grow up.”
“I don’t want to~! I won’t do it~! Men are mean!”
Our youngest knew nothing of the world. But because she kept pestering me, I stood next to Mom to pretend to help.
“Mommy, is there anything I can help with~?”
“Our Yong-hwan is so kind~! Do you want to ride on Mommy’s back~?”
I thought she’d tell me to sit on the sofa and not interfere, but at the unexpected suggestion, I climbed onto her back. I watched Mom, who was apparently a Swordmaster or something, as she effortlessly lifted several kilograms of stuff with one hand to organize them.
“Mommy, am I not heavy?”
“I can carry our Yong-hwan anytime~! You don’t have to lift a single finger!”
The home education was fantastic. It wasn’t my fault; it was the fault of this world that pampered men. I wondered if Mom was being overprotective, but based on what I’d heard, she was actually quite normal.
“Then I’ll give you a massage to cheer you up~!”
I fiddled with Mom’s soft shoulders. Usually, an adult’s shoulders should be too hard for a child’s hands to press, but as expected of a high-ranking police officer who hung out with the mafia, her trapezius muscles were soft, without a hint of tension.
“Hehe, I wish our Yong-hwan would grow up fast~!”
“Yeah~! Yeah~! I’ll grow up fast!”
Even if her son grew up fast, he’d just be snatched away by other bitches, yet this Elf Mom rubbed her cheek against my hair, saying she wished I’d grow up every single day.
While I was stuck to Mom, Grasha started playing with the Green Brachiosaurus Beta XII, but since Morian was sending the XII S model tomorrow, I didn’t care if she had it.
While I was wondering if we’d take a train or an airship, Hindel appeared at the entrance.
“I will contact the Countess separately. Let’s leave immediately.”
“You’re early.”
“Because Yong-hwan said he wanted to go.”
I wondered if it was that hard to contact her on the way, but suddenly, a blue magic circle appeared beneath Hindel and us.
And then, the scenery before my eyes changed.
“Wow~! It’s snow~!”
Grasha, squirming at Mom’s side, marveled at the snowy field spread out before us.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. About 140 years? It was back when Hindel and I were fighting, right?”
“...That monster Elf. I can’t believe she’s gotten even stronger.”
“I thought the world was going to end back then.”
Mom and Hindel started walking casually while chatting. After a few steps, a city suddenly seemed to stride toward us from across the snowy field.
No, it felt like they were folding space as they walked. A few more steps, and a white city stood before us.
Behind it was a mountain. I could see a U-shaped mountain that looked like someone had taken a bite out of it, or like it had been artificially carved out.
“Since it was a long-distance teleportation, a mage of the Countess’s caliber should know I’ve arrived.”
“Shouldn’t she know we were coming?”
“I’ll contact her now.”
It seemed this clumsy dragon was determined to mess up the schedule. I squirmed out from under Mom’s arm and climbed down. Grasha had already beaten me to it and was sitting on top of the carrier.
“Ah, Yong-hwan. We’re still moving, so you mustn’t step outside!”
“Outside?”
I looked around. The magic circle that had appeared when we moved was still beneath us. The scenery changed once more. We were now inside a hotel lobby. Then, the magic circle blurred and vanished.
“We’ve arrived. This is Mama’s hotel.”
Hindel grabbed me by the waist and hoisted me onto her shoulders. If she owned a hotel, she passed the test to be my Mama. I knew this dragon was rich, but seeing her claim to own a hotel everywhere we went made me worry she might be a pathological liar.
I looked at Mom. Judging by her expression, it seemed to be true.
“Wow~! Hindel Mama is the best~! So cool~!”
“I’m the one paying.”
“Forget it. I’ve prepared the suite.”
Hindel glanced at me as I gripped her hair and started walking.
“Chairwoman, the room cleaning is finished, but it might take some time to clear out the spa and entertainment facilities.”
“It doesn’t matter, as we’re planning to see the Countess today anyway. I’ll give you until tomorrow.”
A sister in a sharp red suit came over and bowed.
“Who is that sister?”
“The general manager of this hotel. She’s quite a capable girl.”
As the sister in the red suit ran off to say something, people began moving busily.
“Mama, did you rent out the whole place~?”
“Yes. It’s the off-season, so it’s not much of a burden to move the other guests to different hotels.”
Hindel pointed toward another building visible through the glass doors. The more I knew, the more I realized I had no idea just how rich this crazy dragon—no, our Mama—actually was.
“Wow~! Hindel Mama is so cool~! I’m gonna marry you~! I’m gonna marry Hindel Mama~!”
“Heh... hehe...”
Our pretty and beautiful Dragon Lord covered her mouth and let out a small laugh. I whispered affectionately into her ear.
“Later, when Mom isn’t around, I’ll tell you you’re 'doing a good job,' okay?”
Hindel Dun Vurdia blushed without saying a word.
