I Am Raising a Daughter in This Life

Crybaby sister (1)

I’ve been through a lot so far.

Among them, there was a mountain of things that I couldn’t easily believe even if I explained it in words.

But what was happening right before my eyes was, I assure you, the first time in my life.

“I don’t say it twice. Go quietly.”

There was a time when I had an escort who guarded my house.

There was once a guy waiting in front of my house to kill me.

but… … Someone I don’t know stands guard over my house and wants to kill me. What kind of terrible hybrid is that?

It was difficult to do something hastily in a situation that I could not understand at all.

“I don’t know what purpose this house serves, but it’s not a good thing to come here at this time.”

No, I’m just on my way home.

Seeing him chatter like that in the middle of ah, he must have been a talkative person.

The problem is that it seems pretty strong… … It was the first face I had ever seen.

Even though she’s a woman, she’s tall enough to be similar to me, and only her right arm is wrapped in steel armor.

Who the hell are you doing this here?

“There seems to be a misunderstanding, but I am the landlord there.”

“… … what?”

Could it be that you really didn’t know who I was?

No, wait a minute. That’s the story… … Maybe something happened to Rize.

Feeling my blood run cold for an instant, I took a step forward.

“I don’t know why you’re doing this at someone else’s house, but I hope you get out of there.”

“You can’t unless you’re really sure you’re the landlord.”

“Funny. By what right?”

“I have no intention of making you understand.”

I couldn’t keep chatting with someone I couldn’t communicate with.

As she took another step forward, she held out the hand that had been facing her back, and in that hand was clutching a sword as large as a key.

I looked at it and slightly frowned.

“Why don’t you put the black one in? I don’t want to wake up a child who is sleeping soundly by making noise.”

“So, did you mean Miss Rize?”

“… … miss?”

As she tilted her head at the very unexpected word, she threw herself away.

It wasn’t that fast, but I felt that my skin was tingling that there was huge power in its body.

I still don’t know what the hell the situation was, but I didn’t intend to see it until it came out like that.

I’ll subdue them before they cause any more fuss and hand them over to the guards.

I really wouldn’t let go if Rize woke up.

“… … .”

He was about to take out his main weapon, the sword, but suddenly changed his mind and took out a battle axe and held it in his hand.

This, too, was one of the artifacts brought from the Majeriol Heroes Cemetery.

It doesn’t have any special abilities, but it’s incredibly strong.

I caught the greatsword falling vertically toward me as if it were inserted into the groove between the hilts instead of the blade of the axe.

Wow!

My hands were tingling with the feeling of being heavier than I thought.

Even though the attack was easily blocked, she twisted her wrist to pull out the greatsword without panic, and this time she swung it sideways with all her might.

In order to silence the sound even a little, rather than cutting it out, she coped with it with a sense of shedding it, and she continued to swing her sword to see if she was not tired.

Even though it wasn’t my main weapon, I was able to handle the ax with a high standard.

Even so, being able to fight to this extent meant that she was also an undisputed force.

however… … For some reason, the method of attack was familiar.

“What is your name?”

“Shut up, get out of here!”

For once, it was clear that he was an ignorant person.

That’s one of the few I’ve ever seen on my hands.

Still, only that skill was real, so the battle was still tight.

Of course, it was clear that I had more room, but I can’t think of a way to calmly subdue it… … .

I have no choice but to use some force.

Kagak!

Like the first blow, the greatsword was inserted between the blades of the ax and twisted.

Naturally, she tried to pull out the sword, but when she grabbed the ax and pulled it, her body came loose.

Then he jumped up in that state and showed the boldness of kicking, avoiding the attack, grabbing his body and dropping him from his weapon, leading to a hand-to-hand fight.

After crossing my fists a few times, I noticed that her movements were animal-like.

I’ve seen it somewhere… … .

Quack!

He did not stop moving his hands and feet even as he pondered over his memories.

I was able to gain the upper hand more easily than I thought, perhaps because I didn’t have much fighting experience even though I had the power to freely wield such a greatsword.

“What?!”

Then, after intentionally giving it a gap, I twisted the arm that came in, grabbed it by the collar, and slammed it down to the floor.

Just enough to cool her head… … .

“dad?”

aaa!!!

this.

Because of Rise’s voice that was exquisitely heard at that moment, the force was excessive.

… … Plus, the technology seemed to have gone perfectly right there.

Doomed to the ground headfirst, she showed white eyes through her disheveled blonde hair.

Well, seeing that he was breathing, fortunately he seemed to have passed out.

“… … uh?”

Stay still.

Seeing this, I could barely remember who she was.

* * *

1 hour later.

It took time to clean up the mess, such as apologizing to each of the neighbors who had been caused by the sudden noise, and also apologising to the guards who had heard the commotion and promising compensation for the broken sidewalk.

And now, the culprit was sitting in front of me, tied to a chair.

“I’ll check first, but would you like to cooperate in a conversation?”

“What’s your relationship with Miss Rize?”

“It must have been that one-sided fault, Ms. Irina?”

“… … do you know me?”

When her name was called, Irina finally showed interest in my words.

When I first saw it, I hadn’t even thought that this person would be Irina.

The way I remember her… … Because he was a madman who lived and breathed only to kill monsters.

Her white, gray hair constantly muttered something and ate monster meat while wielding a broken greatsword, which was enough to arouse her instinctive fear.

He was known more by the nickname ‘The White Butcher’ than his name, so I said it all.

I don’t know what the hell has to happen for this ignorant woman to change like that.

“That’s not what’s important right now. Don’t think that I’m doing this on purpose without handing you over to the guards. Life or death depends on how you answer, so you better talk well.”

“… … How about Miss Rize?”

“I told you to stay next door until I called. You know it’s because of you, right?”

Rize, who called me during the fight with Irina, was living next door.

Apparently, because of Irina’s sudden visit, she was keeping the word I had told her to evacuate to the next door if a stranger came.

I’m really glad you seem to be doing well.

It seems that this woman knows such a Rize… … .

“Huh, yes. Now that this has happened, let’s talk about it openly. I asked what kind of relationship you have with Rize earlier. I am the father of Rize who loves Rize the most in the world.”

“you? No, it can’t be… … . Maybe… … .”

“Can you stop guessing yourself? Rather, could you explain why you call my daughter a lady?”

Seeing his severely flustered appearance, he urged with a slight annoyance.

It was because the time after the sweet meeting with Rize kept getting late.

Irina soon came to her senses, seemed to hesitate a bit, then opened her mouth while staring straight at me.

“I am… … A person who served Lady Lize’s mother, Angelina-sama… … was.”

This, again, was completely unexpected.

I couldn’t even imagine that I would have a relationship with Rize’s biological mother.

To put it bluntly, nine years have passed since that day, and I thought it was now.

As if she had read my curiosity, Irina slowly started talking about her circumstances.

“I, who received deep grace from Angelina, became the sword that protects Angelina from that day on. Yes, I decided to give my life for Angelina-sama. but… … Due to unavoidable circumstances, I couldn’t take you by my side… … By the time I went to visit Angelina-sama again, it was too late.”

Pudeuk.

While talking, Irina clenched her fists as if they would break, and the ropes that restrained her body pulled as if they would break at any moment.

Even a single stream of blood began to flow from his bitten lower lip.

The resentment at that time was evident.

I also felt a strange feeling as the gruesome scene came back into my head.

She stayed silent for a while to calm herself down, and I quietly waited for her without saying anything.

“… … After that, I killed all the monsters who took Angelina’s life to avenge myself, and I thought that Lady Lize would still be alive, so I’ve been looking for her ever since.”

As she said that, she glanced out the window and added a few more words.

“I never thought I’d come back to this terrible place.”

“… … .”

On that point, I really have nothing to say.

After all, Rize and I were also victims of the catastrophe that occurred here.

Still, it was undeniable that this was a good place for education.

“Then why did you stop me at all?”

“Of course I thought it was a gangster trying to kidnap Lady Rize.”

Did I look that nasty?

I touched my chin for no reason and thought for a moment.

What Irina said is most likely true.

If you confirmed the death of Rize’s mother, Angelina, and if you confirmed that Rize was also dead… … She would have become the white butcher I knew.

If she thought that Rize was her only hope, it wasn’t that her actions were incomprehensible.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that Irina didn’t do anything wrong.

“I understand the situation well. But at that time, I was the one who saved Rize on the spot and took her as a daughter. In other words, it’s a story about you being the perpetrator who did things in front of someone else’s house.”

“… … I have nothing to say about that. When I saw Miss Rize, I thought I had to protect it, so I stopped. sorry. I will do whatever it takes.”

“That’s normal.”

It would be a mistake if I thought I would just listen to the situation and let it pass peacefully.

Calculation must be completed before we can talk about it after that.

… … No, go ahead.

Did you come up with a way to finish it all at once?

“I’m not going to hand it over to the guards, but have you thought about what to do next?”

“If possible, I would like you to act leniently so that I can protect Lady Rize… … .”

“Sorry, but not right now.”

“As expected.”

Irina nodded with a sorrowful expression, noticed the strangeness of my words, and stared at me again.

“now?”

“You can’t talk without the person in question.”

Leaving her wide-eyed as if she couldn’t understand the situation, she went to the next door and brought Rize.

Of course, he spent some time explaining the situation to Dahlia and sharing the tearful reunion with Rize.

When she returned with Rize in her arms, Irina immediately burst into tears.

“Lady Rize… … .”

It’s worse than I thought.

Contrary to her worries, however, Rize didn’t show any sign that she was afraid of her.

I whispered into Rize’s ear and asked.

“That sister, what kind of person do you think you are?”

“Crybaby sister.”

Could it be that I cried all the time from the first time we met?

“Crybaby sister?”

“Yeah, I cried out loud as soon as I saw it.”

Judging from the way she spoke, it seemed that Rize didn’t know why she was crying.

“Aren’t you scared?”

“Yeah, even if you keep crying, you’re like a good older sister.”

Fortunately, the impression was not bad.

If Rize had said he didn’t like it, he would have already been eliminated in the first stage.

Like me, Rize put her face in my ear and lowered her voice.

“Did Dad reconcile with the crybaby sister?”

Come to think of it, I saw that they were fighting, yes.

I thought they weren’t asking about it, so I guess I was just thinking of it as a light fight.

“Yeah, I’m reconciled. But that crybaby unnie really likes Rize.”

“I don’t know much about the crybaby sister… … .”

“right? Would you like to talk about it then?”

“With the crybaby sister?”

Rize blinked her big eyes and looked at Irina.

After releasing her restraint, who was still crying despite her expression of not knowing what the situation was, we sat facing each other at a table.

Of course, Rize was sitting next to me.

“Then, let’s start Irina-san’s housekeeper job interview.”

“Wow!”
