chapter 220
220 – Birth! #2
220 – Birth! # 2
Another year has already passed.
The children grew older and now walked around the mansion.
Thanks to this, the sound of bubble wrap echoed loudly inside the mansion.
Ttubangdtubang-.
Pop, pop, pop-.
This is because the children who used to crawl outside the garden began to walk, and their activity range widened.
Even though the mothers, Sifnoi, and Tywin were there, it was not possible to monitor the children 24 hours a day, so they wore shoes that made loud noises when they walked.
Pop, pop, pop-.
Of all the children, the most lively one was Naru.
After Naru was able to walk, she had to open all the drawers to relieve her anxiety, and whenever she was in a high place, she had to climb to relieve her anxiety.
“Garr!”
When Naru climbed high up on the ceiling and shouted, Brigitte also shouted from below.
“Naru! Come down here! It’s dangerous if you fall!”
Pot-.
Naru loved jumping from high places.
When Naru leaps, Brigitte catches it with a hasty hand, but sometimes she misses.
At that time, a tuft of black fur came out from her bottom and took Naru into her her her her her.
━Meow.
It was an anvil.
Morumoru has been in the shadow of children since they were born.
Moru Moru was like a friend and reliable bodyguard who stayed by her children’s side 24 hours a day, and her children also loved Moru Moru very much.
“Mrru.”
Brigitte was surprised when Naru muttered softly.
Then she asked me who was watching this.
“Judah! Didn’t Naru just say morumoru? “It looks like he’s finally starting to talk in earnest!”
Naru and her children babbled for a while.
I thought the kids were so genius that they would immediately say “Mom, nice to meet you!”, But that wasn’t the case.
The children’s babbling was completely unintelligible.
“Not long ago, you said that to me! “It’s clear that it’s my mom!”
“Not the devil?”
Gugit-.
Brigitte frowned.
Sigh ─ pinching her her side her her her her her hurt more than I thought.

“Guys, how have you been? Did you miss your aunt? Her aunt bought presents for you guys. Wow─. Bibs for babies! Are there sunflowers drawn? Look at these guys, I like them. Wow, you’re cute. Mom, look at them!”
Harumi came to visit her mansion with her parents.
I gave her a doll with the power of my Woldam to her parents so that they could come and go to the mansion, and Harumi came to visit her children almost every day.
“Tywin, I got yours too. The scientific calculator you said you wanted. “I don’t know where you’re going to use this!”
“… Thank you.”
Zek-.
Tywin took the scientific calculator from his young aunt and bowed his head to express his gratitude.
He looked very elegant and polite.
The children liked their grandmother, grandfather, and aunt.
The children, who were now toddling quite well, ran up to me and hugged my legs, and my mother was very happy and laughed.
“Oh, look at how big these kids are. Why are you talking nonsense? When Taeho was like this, he was so noisy next to me all day that I couldn’t even sleep. “I can’t even understand what’s being said.”
“…”
Did I do that?
I never thought there would still be secrets in the world that I don’t know about.
Zek-.
My mom and dad hugged their children.
Brigitte, Salome, and Garot, who had been playing with the kids all day today, were relaxed because they finally had time to rest.
“I can finally live a little better now.”
“This is my first time sitting down in 5 hours.”
“The children’s physical strength is very good.”
As Garot said, the children’s physical strength was better than expected, and it felt like their joints were wearing out because they did not sleep until they were exhausted every day.
In particular, Sifnoi, who carried the children on his back and sang to them every day, was so exhausted that he was sobbing.
“This Sifnoi… This is my first time seeing such healthy and active Koreans… ! No nymph nanny will work as hard as that Sifnoi… !”
Anyway.
Mom and Dad took good care of the kids.
A mother who had been playing with her children for a while said.
“I used to play with them like this when they were 6 years old. Do you want to remember that time? How do you feel? Do you remember when her grandmother gave her a piggyback ride?”
Zek-.
Seeing my mother looking into Naru’s eyes, we all looked at each other and shrugged.
This was because we were not sure whether the children remembered the past events or not.
I thought it would be good if I remembered it, but even if I couldn’t, it was something to be happy about in its own way.
Because when I look back, they suffered more than I thought.
There must have been a lot of scary and difficult memories, so I didn’t think it would be a bad idea to fill my childhood with new, happy memories without remembering them.
With that feeling, children toddled around the mansion every day, babbling incomprehensible sounds.
I don’t know if it’s because they’re girls or because they’re just kids, but there was no time for the mansion to be quiet because they were messing around all day.
My younger sister, Harumi, squealed when she saw those kids.
“Look at how cute the babies are! Should I just get married and have children instead of getting a job? Dad, can’t I just get a job and get married? “Are there any good men where Dad works?”
“Even though I didn’t have to, I showed you your photos, but they all rejected you.”
“Oh, why show me before I even say anything!!!”
Harumi shouts.
Soon her mother opened her narrow eyes and slapped Harumi on the back.
“Is he yelling at his dad? This is why there is no use raising a daughter!”
When I saw my little sister getting hit on the back of her, I suddenly wondered what would happen to Naru, Hina, and Cecily when they got older.
When these kids get to Harumi’s age, will they start yelling at me?
It felt like a story so far away that it was impossible to imagine it realistically.
Because to me, when these kids were going to elementary school and talking about things that happened at school in the evening, it felt like something from the distant past and future.
Also, when I thought that day would come soon, my father, who was playing chess with Tywin, spoke to me without turning his head.
“When things are small, there is only joy when they are small. “Once time has passed, it will never come back, so take lots of pictures.”
Is it a photo?
Now that I think about it, I thought I took quite a few pictures when I was young. When I was young, cell phones weren’t very good, so everyone had to take pictures with a camera.
While I was thinking about where all the photos had gone, my mom took something out of her bag.
“It’s a photo from when the kids were young. Do you want to see it? Look at this. This photo was taken from when Taeho was 1 year old until he was 7 years old. From the age of 8, he didn’t want to have his picture taken—.”
This is an album containing my childhood.
It was an unexpected item.
“This is when you pee, put a key on her head, and go get salt from her old lady next door! Also, is this when I was 4 years old? Walking around without even wearing pants—.”
I have a lot of dark history.
When I glanced at the photo, the yellow flooring really caught my eye.
When my sister was just born.
It felt like memories of all living together in a single room came back to me.
It was a very, very old memory.
Maybe it’s the oldest memory I remember.
“I had a really hard time at this time. People flock to every job the children’s father holds and become abusive. When we had our second child, we didn’t even have rice to eat. “Everyone worked really hard in that small house.”
My mother’s words reminded me of my childhood.
A time when we all lived together in one cramped room.
I thought it was pretty fun.
Before going to sleep, I would listen to mom and dad’s stories or play dice.
Later, when we moved to a bigger house and had our own rooms, it was nice to have our own room, but the fun of being together was slightly diminished.
“It was a difficult time.”
Zek-.
When my father was putting away the chess board, I sneaked up and said.
“I had some fun.”
“I see.”
That was the end of our conversation between father and son.
Even though children were born, there was still a lack of communication between sons and fathers.
# # # #
The children really grew up like bamboo.
Children who had been babbling for a while are now able to use simple sentences.
“Naru… Hug me!”
Naru loved being hugged by her elders.
We had to hug Naru several times a day. Then Naru, in a good mood, ran wild around her mansion and broke her pottery and flower pots.
Clink-!
“Hee hee!”
Naru thought the sound it made when she broke her ceramics was interesting.
So we had to deliberately buy a lot of pottery every week for Naru to break.
Since it was an expensive activity, Brigitte declared, “I have to make pottery myself,” Thus reducing the burden on the household.
While Naru actively enjoyed destruction, Hina, now 4 years old, enjoyed a very quiet hobby.
Hina went out into her garden and she dug in the ground with a small trowel and collected small pebbles.
Her prettiest pebble was also given as a gift to her dad, me, or her mom, and she loved it, smiling and saying “Hee-hee” When she complimented her.
Thanks to that, our room was full of rocks that Hina picked up.
It was necessary to add a new exhibition room dedicated to stones.
So what about Cecily?
Cecily didn’t like to move that much and she liked taking naps the most.
When he was up, he sipped warm milk like tea or collected pretty dolls and held a tea party.
For reference, the dolls Cecily collected were very expensive, so the Ragdoll family’s budget was shrinking.
Anyway.
The children grew up well according to their age.
And he often said things that bothered me.
“Naru… , Reminds me of the time I went to the zoo!”
Today was the first day I came to the zoo with the kids.
4 years old.
It was my first time going for a walk at the zoo with my children who were at a very cute age, and they said they had been to the zoo before.
“I saw a rabbit over there!”
Naru shouted.
There really was a rabbit fence there.
How did this happen?
Soon her smart eldest daughter, Tywin, came up with a plausible opinion.
“As children grow, their souls grow along with their brains. Perhaps, as the bowl gets bigger, memories that were excluded come to mind one by one?”
So, as the capacity of human memory expanded, did we begin to slowly read the memories engraved in our souls?
Pot─.
At that time, the rabbit jumped.
Thanks to that, the mud splashed onto Cecily’s pretty dress
Since last night, Cecily has been making a fuss about sleeping in her dress, saying, “I’m a princess!” “You have to wear a dress to sleep!” It was a nerve-wracking situation considering that the reason she behaved so tyrannically was because of that dress.
“Ugh!”
Cecily looked very angry as she looked at her mud-splattered dress.
However, with the vocabulary of only a 4-year-old, it seemed difficult to use sentences to express that anger.
Cecily jumped up as if she couldn’t help but pecked at his lips hers.
“City…”
“…”
We were all nervous.
Soon Cecily shouted.
“… Fuck!”
“… !”
We were surprised.
Well, I didn’t expect Cecily to use such bad words. Because she always tried to show only good things to the newly born children and to say only good things.
As proof of our efforts, we never once swore or said anything harsh in front of our children.
But why did Cecily swear like that?
Soon Naru also shouted with a shocked expression.
“Oh wow… !”
Oh, wow.
Where did Naru learn those words?
I asked Naru carefully.
“Oh wow. Naru, who did you learn those words from?”
“Dad! “I said it was the biggest exclamation in the world!”
