There's a reader's guide at the end. It's recommended that you read it in advance.
Chestnut is a little red panda monster adopted by a human (?) dad. In human form, he has silver hair and bright green eyes like his dad, chubby cheeks, and a little cowlick. He's utterly adorable.
One day, he accidentally transmigrates, but he doesn't realize he's transmigrated and tearfully wants to find his missing dad.
A System spots little Chestnut in a space-time rift and is amazed to discover that he's the child raised by its previous Host. Filled with affection, it immediately changes its program into a Find-Dad System. It plans to bind to little Chestnut and choose the world where its previous Host is, so it can send the child home.
But the new System, convinced that it's reliable now, isn't actually all that reliable. So, as you can imagine, it sets the wrong destination during the transmigration. Help!
The System looks at hungry little Chestnut and sighs with the weariness of age. Luckily, it discovers that this world has an alternate version of its previous Host!
Scene One:
Little Chestnut spots his dad on the street, his cheeks turning red with excitement as he rushes over and shouts, "Papa!"
The System also rushes over in tears. "Dad! Please carry me!"
Akiba Yoru: "?" Where did this kid come from?
Scene Two:
Akiba Yoru takes little Chestnut to meet a hard-working employee at a certain liquor company, where he once spent the night. Without changing expression, he says, "Kid, I gave birth to him. Congratulations, you're a dad!"
The liquor company employee sneers. "You can give birth?"
Akiba Yoru: "I'm not human. I was pregnant for a day, and this kid hatched from an egg. You know what nonhuman means?"
The liquor company employee laughs helplessly.
(There are no nonhumans. Akiba Yoru is just making things up.)
The two make a bet over a paternity test. If Akiba Yoru wins, he wants an official relationship. If he loses, he'll let the hard-working employee have his way with him. Later, he stares thoughtfully at the test results confirming their paternity.
Akiba Yoru falls into thought, then breaks into a burst of joy.
Little Chestnut falls into thought. So I'm really Dad's biological kid?
The System quietly takes credit: "I knew the alternate version of my previous Host couldn't escape this trap either. That was your assist. You're welcome!"
Scene Three:
One day, Vodka wakes up completely confused, panics, and calls his big brother, screaming, "Big Brother! I'm reporting Rye! He's an undercover agent from Southeast Asia! He knows black magic!"
The liquor company's boss: "?"
Scene Four:
Little Chestnut clings to his dad and warily watches Black Rye Akai. "Mister, good people don't break up other families!"
Akai, who once saw the child call someone else Dad, thinks for a second and decides to keep testing him. "But I'm a bad guy. I'm here to join your family."
Little Chestnut: "!!!"
Scene Five:
Little Chestnut clenches his fists. Both dads have lost their memories. I'll work hard to help them get back together! (A blazing background appears.)
Little Chestnut: This family would fall apart without me!
Little Chestnut sighs, turns into his red panda form, and rubs his head against Dad as he begs for affection. "Squeak~"
(He's a red panda, not a baby giant panda. He's a red panda with a black coat worn inside out.)
The romance is between the dads: Akiba Yoru x Gin
Reader's Guide:
1. This is a parallel-world alternate-version story to The Days of the True Liquor Who Kidnapped the Workaholic at the Liquor Company and Liquor and the Thorn Bird. This is Akiba 3.0, and the kid transmigrated from 1.0. You can read this without reading the first two. They were only up for pre-order for a month, and the story is being written purely out of love. Even the author's notes have gotten longer. If you don't like it, you can just leave.
2. The timeline is the author's own. Little Conan is still Little Conan, but the Whiskey Trio are still undercover and have already received their codenames.
3. Chestnut has no CP in this story and will always be a kid. The romance is between the dads. If you haven't read 1.0 and 2.0, their relationship may seem to progress too quickly, but to me, they're already an old married couple.
4. Lighthearted, with probably some characters getting bullied. Little Conan's pupils will tremble, and bystanders will point and whisper.
5. Repeating this: an unserious, lighthearted story about giving characters a hard time. Best read without overthinking it.

There is no boss who is not disgusting, and there is no capitalist who is not disgusting.
