Chapter 17 – Chapter 17

After washing Miho’s body, I felt it again while drying his hair.
After all, women have long hair, so it takes a long time to dry.

“Tell me if it’s hot.”
“Ok.”

It’s not just the tongue that’s short, it’s also that the words are short.

“No, I should say yes.”
“Yes? Ok!”

I will definitely contact the strawberry study center someday and make this idiot at least a human being.
I can’t make you study from today.
Let’s move on like this for the time being.

“Wheeeee!”

“Wind, feel good…”
“Is that so?”
“Ok.”

As I gently dried Miho’s hair, I did n’t notice at all that the corners of my lips were naturally hanging over his ears.

“Okay, after drying her hair and body, the next thing is the clothes…”

It is most convenient to order online, but no matter how much I ask for quick delivery, it was clear that it would take at least a few hours, and at most a day.
I don’t know anything else, but I want to get my phone right, and I can choose the prettiest one by looking at the wearing shot myself rather than buying it online.
Furthermore, since I had 10 million won in my hands, I wanted to indulge in luxury for the first time in a while.

[I think I know a little bit why you don’t have any money now, despite having made so much money. Isn’t there such a thing as saving spirit?]

Yes, what to do

“The problem is the clothes.”

Needless to say, there was no way I could have clothes that fit a girl’s size. That said, it was a bit unreasonable to wear only one of my t-shirts that didn’t fit the size like now. Miho’s age doesn’t look like a 3 or 4 year old baby.

It was not impossible for both of them to go shopping for clothes at a young age and be taken to the police box together for lewd performances.

“What, roughly like this for now?”

I first put on my boxer shorts on a white T-shirt that reached below the knee, and tightened it tightly by securing the waist of the shorts with an elastic band.
In this way, it was clear that even if the T-shirt was overturned by the wind, the fatal part would not be visible.

“After eating, I will go straight to the department store.”
“Eh, arajjoo.”

On the way out, I bought some blankets, and what else, I set my phone…

[He also said that he needed to buy toothpaste.]

Ah, toothpaste toothpaste.
Thank you, I almost forgot.

As a bonus, I was thinking of going to the hospital if I had some time left. No matter how much I thought about it, it was because I was a little worried about making such a short tongue at that age.

[Isn’t it strange that the elf speaks Korean in the first place?]

That’s it, you must have solved it somehow.

[… ] … You must have lost your head outside of your thoughts.]

It’s ridiculous.
Miho may be an idiot, but I had an average IQ.

“Oh, the shoes are also a problem.”

Fortunately, there was a convenience store in front of my house, so I decided to buy pink slippers and wear them.

“Get up.”
“Ok!”

「Pop!」

“Are you up?”

I could feel the touch of something on my back, but the weight was so light like cotton candy that I asked again, but no answer came back.

“Hey?”
“… Coul, Coul…”

Isn’t this a crazy kid?
Did you mean that you fell asleep afraid to be carried on your back?

“If a pig were reborn as an elf, wouldn’t it be this guy?”

[… ] … There’s nothing I can’t say to a child.]

“Honestly, you thought a little like that too.”

[A little bit…]

Anyway, I wondered how so much food could fit into such a light girl’s body.
Seeing what you ate yesterday, even one chicken seemed to be lacking.

“Ha.”

How to say, I hadn’t even stepped out of the house yet, and I was already feeling exhausted. It’s a lot of work for a child.
While working as a host, she thought she had gotten used to it by treating many women like princesses or queens.
She realized that she would never be able to match a child.
Children of this age showed uninterrupted development beyond imagination.

“That’s why parents are more sensitive when it comes to children, and they can’t take their eyes off them all the time.”

Did I too?
Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t.

She remembers sneaking out of the house by herself as a child and walking around the neighborhood arcade, quietly watching and playing.

“Just wake up later and say it doesn’t taste good, I will open its mouth and forcefully feed you.”

「Eutcha.」

I left the studio with Miho on my back.

[SU convenience store]

“With my daughter, with my daughter!”

“Ugh, where is this place? Who is Miho?”

Miho muttered on my back, probably waking up again to the sound of bells ringing from the entrance of the convenience store.
Taking such Miho, he goes around looking for slippers in the corner of a convenience store.
I feel a stinging gaze behind my back his.

“Ah, follow me…”

It was such a stinging gaze that Miho spit out such a sound directly.
Wondering why, I confidently turned my head and looked at the counter, and the part-timer’s face turned blue when I met my eyes.

‘No, isn’t that fucking ridiculous? It’s fucking fucking looking at someone like a criminal.’

Hey, I was about to call the part-timer and say something, but I checked myself in the mirror in the corner of the ceiling of the convenience store and kept my mouth shut.
The man with blond hair wearing only a T-shirt and no shoes standing in the corner carrying a blue-faced girl on his back his was the picture of a criminal.

‘… Let’s hurry up and buy some slippers.’

I picked up the slippers of roughly the smallest size and walked over to the counter.

“Calculation.”

Let’s do it and put the slippers on the counter.
The part-time student carefully held him up and asked me while taking a barcode with a forceps.

“Excuse me sir, may I ask what your relationship is with the child behind you?”
“Excuse me. Let’s do the math.”

It’s not like I’m embarrassed to say ‘Dad’ here.
Even though I said that I was a guardian, Miho and I were in fact not alike. I can understand what the part-time student was thinking and how much courage he mustered up.
There was no reason why I should accept it.
Conversely, this was embarrassing and irritating.

“But, just in case…”
“Ha ha, really.”

Even the person answering a difficult question is likely to be annoyed.
I sighed heavily and was about to say another word.

If Miho hadn’t opened his mouth first.

“Don’t bully me!”
“…”
“Tonnu, don’t bully me! Naughty Human! Tonguenu, Joe is a human being! Don’t bully me!”

Ah…

At that moment, I ate and laughed.
And looking at the part-time student with a triumphant expression, the part-time student soon realized the rudeness and lowered his head.

“Ah! I’m really sorry for doubting you. I’m really sorry. Recently, there have been reports of child violence or kidnapping around here.”
“No, thanks. I just wanted you to know.”

「Beep! Rustle, rustle.”

As soon as I bought 3,000 won slippers, I took them off on the spot, threw the vinyl in the trash, and put pink slippers on Miho’s feet.

“I wear these until I go to the department store and buy other shoes. Are you uncomfortable?”
“No, not at all uncomfortable… ! Kyaaang, it’s comfortable!”
“Okay, then let’s go get something to eat. Almost all the shops are open thanks to you sleeping filthy late.”
“Ong, is Miho great?”
“John, that’s great.”

Let’s refrain from swearing or words that can be perceived as bad in front of Miho as much as possible.

“Be careful next time, bitch!”
“Yes? Ah yes…”

… Let’s be really careful.

As soon as I left the convenience store, I lifted Miho’s arms and gave her a hard word.

“There are words in this world that children should never use.”
“Ooh, burdock?”

Since I was making a serious face, Miho became serious as well and focused on my mouth.

“Tribal and dog jjakki are words that should never be used. If you use something like that, a bad adult will catch you?”

To my words, Miho replied with a serious expression.

“Tongue, head… Are you okay?”

Kill it, you little bastard.

“And, Caesar. Shit, bitch! It sticks to your mouth completely!”
“…”

[What the hell have you done!]

It’s my fault for putting the first button wrong.
Reluctantly, I lowered Miho to the floor and scratched the back of my head.

‘I can’t do anything about the water that has already been spilled. Just be careful next time.’

[No, like that!]

“I am hungry.”
“Oh, Miho is hungry too! Curl cluck.”
“Let’s go eat.”
“Kyaaaaang! Squat!”

I am in the middle of walking along the road side by side with Miho to the place where the restaurants are lined up. Should it be a picture similar to ours?
If there was something a little different, it was the mother and son over there.
Well, the clothes should be a bit more noble than ours. Because this was a girl wearing a t-shirt and boy panties on her bare body.
Anyway, the atmosphere was quite good between mother and child.

“Son, what do you want to eat?”
“Hamburger! Would you like a hamburger, Mom? Me hamburgers, fries, and ice cream too!”

The pronunciation is clear and well-educated.

“Then, shall we go to Todderia in front of us?”
“I like Wakdonald, not Tunderlia.”
“Okay, let’s go to Wackdonald then. Now, your hand.”
“Yes!”

It’s just like a painting.
… I took out a cigarette from my chest and put it in my mouth casually, thinking it was now, and soon realized that the side next to me was a bit empty.

“Yes?”

Wanting something, I turned around and saw Miho staring blankly at the painting I was looking at.
Somewhere with envious and nostalgic eyes.

“… Papa, Mom… Dad, Mom…」

Come to think of it, I cried at dawn while looking for my parents.

‘Because children are children.’

There are parts that are a bit dignified, and there are parts that look brave because they are stupid, but no matter what, Miho was a child who needed a protector.
That’s why I decided to take care of her while receiving her what she called her ‘blessing’.
So, this was absolutely not something I was doing for Miho, but something I was doing for myself.

“Ah, tsk.”

I carefully put the cigarette I had in my mouth into the box again and went towards Miho.

“Ah…”

Miho, realizing that she was belatedly fascinated only after a shadow fell over her own head her, looked at me and turned her head away.
I folded my knees to Miho’s eye level and said.

“Hey.”
“… Yes.”
“There are better things than holding her hand her. How is it? Would you like to enjoy it?”
“Is there such a thing?”
“Yeah, would you like to enjoy it?”

When he asked again, Miho vigorously nodded his head.

“Yes!”
“Then, Kazuya.”
“Gatsua~.”

I put my hand between Miho’s armpits and lifted him up. It was so light as a feather that I almost threw it upwards.
It was placed on top of my neck.

“Isn’t it scary because it’s so high?”
“Ooh, whoa!”

It doesn’t sound like you’re afraid.

“Aaaaa Jjaram looks like a beetle!”
“…”

I thought I should call the strawberry homework teacher quickly. Let’s teach Korean language and math, and if possible, science and English.
Oh, and don’t forget morals.

“Let’s go eat!”
“Gazu~”

I just took Miho and headed to the pizza place across from the hamburger house that the mother and father had decided to go to earlier.

[Moochin Pizza]

And.

“Puck!”

“Ugh!”

I couldn’t calculate the height of Miho riding the wooden horse and ended up smashing Miho’s face into the threshold.

“Okay… Are you okay?”

I asked Miho, whose face was stained red, and the answer came back.

“… Bitch…”
