002 – Responsibility without pleasure!? # 2
So let’s sort it out.
A little boy named Naru knows me as his father.
And he asks to find his mother.
What the hell is this all about?
A hidden camera?
some kind of trap?
No, the kid is too good at acting for that.
It doesn’t look like lying.
What is it?
You can go to bed and go to the security office tomorrow morning and leave this child’s identity.
when you think about it
“Oh?”
Beetle-.
Naru staggered.
Then, he falls flat on the floor.
“Ugh… .”
“Your body is like a ball of fire!?”
The child’s fever was boiling.
Was it because of poor health that the story felt like gibberish?
what to do
What should I do?
I don’t know what to do when the kids are sick!
If there was a ‘priest’ in the party, they would have handled this skillfully!
I’ve never had a cold since I was young, so I don’t know what to do!
I was flustered with that feeling.
First of all, after putting the girl on the bed, I poured the vase water I saw around me into a towel and put it on top of the girl’s head.
thru-.
Then, the little boy named Naru relaxed his expression as if he had improved a little.
New, new-.
Are you asleep
After I let out a sigh of relief, I finally saw Naru’s disheveled clothes.
Wearing a ragged robe and walking around the streets at night barefoot, it wouldn’t be strange to get sick.
how scared i was
If it were me, I might have peed.
“… Are there still crying children in the world even after the war is over?”
I was kind of upset.
Even though I know that I can’t help it with my own body.
I, too, had the experience of being separated from my parents and family in this strange land, so should I say that I am strangely attached to these children… .
No, what is Jung?
It’s not like I’m going to live with you.
“what.”
It was time to think like that.
A strange mark was visible on the left shoulder of the girl who identified herself as Naru, near the nape of her neck.
At first glance, it was a stain resembling a clover.
It would be nice to express it as a white spot.
When I saw it, it felt like my eyes went dark.
Did you catch a cold?
I staggered toward the mirror.
I can see a lot of damaged faces after rolling here and there for two years.
Honestly, looking at myself now, I wonder if my mom and dad will recognize me.
But you will find out.
-Tae-ho, the people in my family. Even if we’re separated, there’s a way to find out. You know you broke up with your great-grandfather and grandfather because of the Korean War and finally found it, right?
“You know.”
Because it’s a story I’ve heard over and over again.
On Chuseok and New Year’s Day, the whole family sat together and told the same story over and over again.
The story was playing again in my head now.
The reason was nothing.
A small, dainty clover-shaped white spot on Naru’s left shoulder.
Because it was the same on my left shoulder.
A secret that only my family knows.
My own memories that I have never told anyone.
Why is it on the shoulder of that little boy named Naru?
“Really what!?”
It was the first time since the day of the other world war that I had been so flustered.
Even when I heard of the crazy plan to forcefully break through the castle, I wasn’t as embarrassed as this.
“What the hell!?”
really my daughter
no no, it can’t be
I’ve never even held a woman’s hand, let alone married!
No, did I ever have such a relationship with a woman without my knowledge?
When you’re drunk, or when you’re on drugs!
“No, I never did.”
I’ve never been drunk on drugs, let alone drink.
It was because the body was so strong that it detoxified everything.
That’s why I’ve never even performed a strategy like ‘borrowing alcohol and trying to dash at a woman’!
What is it?
how… .
I think I’m going to lose my mind.
Is there anyone I can turn to for advice on this situation?
A few faces came to mind, but I had no choice but to shake my head.
They are out of the country right now, so I can’t contact them.
There’s no internet and no cell phones in this damn world!
“Can’t you?”
wait for once
My face is all hot.
Maybe some wind.
As I tried to open the door with that feeling, someone tugged at my collar.
“Oh, Dad… .”
That guy was Naru.
He is pulling me as he stands on his two trembling legs even though his heat is pulsating.
“… Dad is saying don’t abandon this ship… !”
Did you think I was running away from you?
I really can’t help but sigh.
i look like a bad guy
“I won’t throw you away, so go to sleep.”
I put Naru back on the bed.
However, he can’t fall asleep easily and keeps looking at me.
How can I make him sleep?
Sing a lullaby?
No, I can’t really sing.
So, should I stroke your hair?
I raised the palm of my hand and placed it on the child’s little head.
It was softer and smaller than I thought.
“This, suddenly, looks like a father to no one.”
* * *
the next morning.
I took Naru to the clinic.
The nice-looking women examined Naru with benevolent smiles and said,
“A large amount of magic marks have been detected. It must have been exposed to a great, large-scale magic. The symptom may be partial memory loss or fever, but it will gradually get better.”
magic mark?
What is he saying now?
I was a real stranger to magic.
It’s just like, what kind of complex and advanced calculation formula is needed?
It was a science field, so it was a story that was far from me, a liberal arts person.
anyway.
To sum up the story, it’s a healthy story, right?
Good luck.
pat-.
At that time, Naru clung to the clergyman’s sister at the medical center.
“… mother? mom!”
mom?
Are you mom?
That priest’s sister!?
Even though she looks immoral in a nun’s uniform and black stockings, that sister with a very nice face and big breasts is her mother?
A blonde and blue-eyed beauty!?
That means… That person is my wife!?
I looked at the priest’s sister with a pounding and nervous heart.
I guess I was about 28 years old.
Since he is a priest, it goes without saying that he has a kind heart. Most people who go to church in this world are generally good.
However, the priest’s sister gently pushed Naru away.
Then he stroked his forehead and said.
“Your memory seems to be confused. Are your memories of your mother confused?”
“Ah, looking at it again, I don’t think I’m a mother… .”
“Well, the memories will come back gradually, so don’t worry too much. Naru’s father, don’t worry too much. Still, it reminds me of my daughter, so it’s cute, hehehe-”
did you have a daughter
What, were you a married woman?
Apparently not my wife.
But, ‘Father Naru’? I’m not married.
“I am not the father of this child.”
“Oh yeah? Stop because they look so alike, whooping, are they brother and sister? It looks more like someone I’ve seen before. is not it? All Barbarians look alike… .”
“Dad is Dad! What a man!”
“corker? Speaking of the famous Barbara… .”
this.
I wonder if there are people who recognize me even in this rural clinic far from the royal capital.
I quickly got out of the crowded place in order not to be swept away by unnecessary trouble.
So we arrived at the park.
Naru calmly followed me without making a fuss or making a fuss.
Did you think I’d throw you away if I made noise?
anyway.
Now that things seem to have calmed down, let’s ask again.
“I said Naru. You say your father is me?”
“Judah… ! Dad’s name… ! I haven’t forgotten this… !”
“Yes, yes. Let’s say yes. Can’t remember your mother’s name? How did you break up with your mother and come to me?”
“Um, uh, uh, uh… .”
Naru put her finger to her lips and thought for a while.
Then, open your lips slightly.
“energy… I do not remember… .”
hehehe – he was a laughing kid.
Are you trying to laugh?
I’m really, what the hell is this?
“Think a little more. don’t you remember anything? even one. impressionable. hair color. eye color. name. job. Where to live. Don’t you know that?”
“Mom is… You have big breasts!”
have big breasts
Indeed, that’s why he reacted to the clergyman’s sister at the clinic earlier.
While I was thinking for a while, Naru said.
“… this naruto back 6 years ago Before dad and mom met. And Dad and Mom, we must meet again! Otherwise, the world is in danger!”
It was Naru who spread her hand with a gyao-o as if to scare her.
Is the world dangerous?
It’s ugly for a child to put in his mouth.
However, the words just now gave me a great hint.
Naru said that he had returned to six years ago.
Can I say that I went back in time?
“No matter how much the continent of Pangea is a fantasy world, to go back in time. Did such a convenient magic ever exist?”
If there was such a thing, the world would be very comfortable.
Anyway, if Naru’s words are true… .
“Ha, true.”
“Why are you laughing?”
Naru asked.
I even dared to say to his innocent face, “Because I’m funny because I sincerely believe in stories that might be children’s lies.”
“Ahhh… !”
Then, Naru got up from her seat.
Then I looked at the father and daughter walking in the park over there.
– My daughter, do you like it because your dad hangs you?
– High! Height!
It’s a nice look.
I guess the world has become peaceful.
Naru looked at them intently.
Are you envious?
Father and daughter must be like that.
I still don’t have the real feeling that this girl is my ‘daughter’, but… .
can’t do it
“Naru, would you like me to ride a wooden horse for you too?”
“no!”
“… … .”
are you okay.
I’m used to being rejected by women.
said Naru.
“there! The clothes he is wearing!”
Naru reached out and pointed at something.
A girl riding a wooden horse.
The little girl, who must have been five or six years old, was wearing a luxurious combination of white and navy blue.
Are the buttons gold?
It looks very expensive.
“That, similar clothes… ! Mom had… ! I saw it in my mom’s closet… !”
“Oh, yes?”
Are you saying that if you follow the clothes, you can catch the hint?
So I got up and approached the wooden horse woman.
“there.”
“Hey! savage!”
“I can’t give it to my daughter!”
no… .
yes, what can it be
let’s ask
“It’s nothing, I’m interested in what the kid is wearing. Can you tell me where you bought the clothes from? Don’t worry, I’m not trying to harm you.”
The girl’s father looked at me with suspicion.
Then he said little.
“Kuhm, this is the Graham Academy uniform. The best educational institution on the continent of Pangea, where only children with both financial power can enter the transfer of education… ! My daughter enrolled there… ! That’s great… !?”
uniform?
Graham Academy?
Was there such a place
I think I may have heard of it at first glance.
who said
anyway.
Is Naru’s mother related to that place called Graham Academy? Current students or graduates or expelled students, etc… .
That was a great hint.
After that, I wandered the streets and got a rough idea of this place called Graham Academy.
From what I heard, it seemed to be a great school that goes through elite education from the age of 6 to the age of 24, from kindergarten to university.
Aristocrats, royalty, imperial families, children of enormous colossus, etc., all over the world, are enrolled in a huge number anyway?
It is said that no one accepts admission.
Admission itself is like picking stars from the sky.
“I can’t go.”
My age is 25.
The age to go to school has already passed.
By the way.
How the hell did I ever get married to a girl from an academy who didn’t seem to have anything to do with me?
I was honestly curious if it was real.
“Where and how did you meet?”
I would like to know.
How did you meet and how did you get to know each other?
How do you get married… .
… Having a child means that, what is it, did that every night?
I mean S.
I was really curious!
It’s natural to be curious!
Of course, I would assume that Naru’s words are real!
“I have a lot of time anyway, so I have to make ends meet.”
Shall we visit?
Where Graham Academy or something.
