Chapter 320 – Chapter 320

〈 Viewpoint of alley children 〉

Can the feeling change this much just by adding one adult?

“Brother, do you have anything to eat today?”
“…”

In the garbage alley where only they stayed, no, only they could stay, there was no such rich ‘sound’ in the first place.
What was always with them was ‘despair’.

Only the instinct for the desire for life kept them alive, and among the children, never once did they think that their current life was enjoyable.

What about Shana, who lost her voice after being seriously injured?
Rune thought Shana was a very dark child.

Not being able to say a word, always blankly with half-dead eyes… She was already able to express that she was dead.
However, Shana’s true form of her was not like that.

“Mister! What’s this?”
“Yes? Huhu, this is the kimchi ham tuna fried egg fried rice that even the uncle’s daughters love to die for.”
“Kimchi Ham Tuna Fried Egg Fried Rice! The name is really long, so there must be something!”
“It really tastes like you wouldn’t know if one died while eating it for two. But don’t fight each other over this. Because you can make anything. There are over a million in your pocket.”
“Curry! How do you fit a million in that little pocket?”

They were such a good laugh…

Rune smiled happily and blankly looked at Mari and Shana clinging to Kim Hyun-woo.
It’s just that she hasn’t laughed at either of them since she grew up on her own.

Shana and Marie too.
She was a five-year-old girl who was so innocent that even her light puns her made her laugh.

‘No, that’s the same for me.’

“Hey, kid. Come over here and move the bowl. What is the male cub in the back? “
“Mister, am I not the only one who pampers you too much?”
“Because you are a man.”
“Too bad!”
“Don’t tell a man to say that, because it’s disgusting. Quietly help me.”
“Ugh! Really!”

Seeing Kim Hyun-woo, who seemed to be arguing with her, secretly took care of herself with a bowl and another chocolate bar of hers, Rune laughed involuntarily.

What is this man?

You can make people laugh just by spending time together like this.
I can’t believe it.

“At times like this, I will eat well,” He says, and then eats. What can I do? It’s just like a promise between us.”
“Now, shall we eat well?”
“I will enjoy this food! Aww, aww!”
“Hey, you have to be careful. Open your mouth, the roof of your mouth is burned. I’ll treat you, so from now on, eat food with smoke after unconditionally cooling it down. Understand?”
“Yes, mister!”

Was meal time this warm?
No, have you ever had such a pleasant conversation while eating?

“Okay, now that we’ve finished eating, should we clean up?”
“Yes!”

Even Kim Hyun-woo’s ability to handle children was at a high level.
The ability to motivate Marie and Shana to work voluntarily and excitedly was amazing.

Of course, he went over to it and was washing the dishes.

“Let’s see, your captain is washing the dishes. Mister, as an adult, you must strip the children of old, right?”

[Water]

Chow ah!
And.

[Fire]

Roaring!

“Wow! Uncle, were you a wizard?”
“Shh. It’s like our secret that you’re a wizard. Understand? My uncle’s friend told me never to use magic unless it was a dire situation.”
“Shh! All right, mister. Hee hee, our secret!”

As Marie and Shana laughed cutely, covering their lips with their index fingers, Kim Hyun-woo stroked the hair of the two girls and smiled at each other.

‘Warm…’

Just looking at it makes me feel good.
Maybe for us too…

“Hey, kid. It’s enough to stop, so now you come in here too. Let’s take a bath together. Uncle, it’s my first time in this world, so I’m tired. Let’s wash up quickly and go to sleep. I have to walk to the mercenary guild again early tomorrow morning.”
“Yes? Are you sleeping already?”
“He will tell you a particularly interesting story.”
“Ha ha! Wash up quickly and go to sleep!”

Maybe for us too… Wouldn’t it be like this if there was a ‘Dad’.
Rune jumped between Mari and Shana, who were about to die in happiness, and she laughed like an idiot herself.
Because it’s as good as this moment
They wanted to receive the love that the uncle’s children receive.

〈 Song Jung-shin (1st year class 3 homeroom teacher) Point 〉

“To… So, can anyone guess what 32 times 2 is?”
“Me, me! Me!”
“…”
“Teacher?”

Song Jeong-sin, who was conducting math class as usual, was half-excited. That’s why she did n’t see that even though the children who excelled in learning went into her hands her.

The place his gaze was reaching her was none other than Miho’s seat her.

“…”

Miho was staring this way while doing 1-2 math in a daze.
In a way, as a student, this can be said to be normal, but it was already imprinted in Song Jeong-sin’s mind her.

In all classes except for arts and sports classes, Miho says that it is normal for Miho to be asleep!

‘Why, why isn’t he sleeping?’

What?
Was it because I was having fun in class today?

“Ha…”

Flinch!

‘Looking at him sighing, I don’t think that’s the case.’

Anyway, it was never a bad feeling for a schoolteacher of her children to see a student who was always asleep waking up and taking her class of her.

“Let’s see, Miho, let’s try guessing? What is 32 times 2?”
“To… Hang on.”

Oh my gosh!
Miho was showing his will her to solve it.

But, why are you getting up?

“Ugugeueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueu! Right pole! Mi, Miho… Bar, not enough toes!”
“…”
“Huh, the correct answer is 20!”
“…”

Looking at Miho, who can only count the number of fingers and toes he has, Song Jeong-sin quietly writes the number 64 on the blackboard and asks Noah.

“Is something going on at home?”
“Yes? Ah…”

To that question, Noah answered with a slightly bitter smile.

“It will be fine next week.”

What does that mean?
Song Jeong-sin tilted his head and continued the class.

〈 Noah View 〉

It was the first time I had ever seen my sister so calm.

“Sister, on the way home, should we go to a blood and internet café?!”
“Yes…?”

Noah, who was worse than him, first proposed to deviate, but Miho seemed to think about it for a while, then shook his head.

“No, I don’t feel like going to a internet cafe today.”
“Then…”
“Let’s go home, Noah.”
“… Yes, sister.”

Normally, she would have made a fuss even on the way home, giving meaning to each and every thing and having fun…
She was on her way home, as normal and quiet as the other children, with her mouth shut.

Why?

‘Because Daddy’s not here?’

However, it seems a little strange to me.
At least while we were in school, Dad wasn’t with us. If you think about it, the fact that Dad went on a business trip couldn’t be the reason.

However, on the other hand, I also understood how her sister felt.

「Beep beep beep beep, click!」

“I’m home.”
“I’m here?”
“Kyaaaaang… I’ve been Did mom and dad go?”
“Yeah, I went around lunch earlier.”
“Ohhh, that’s right~ I got it.”

It wasn’t just Miho who was quiet.
Her house was also strangely quiet.

“Ujat, let’s go! My lovely daughters! I’ll show you my father’s super ultra megaton high special round kick!”

To the point where I can hear my father’s voice for some reason.

“…”

Because my dad is the kind of guy who never knows when, where, or how he’ll pop out.

Even so, when we fell into a crisis, the person who somehow ran to it was my dad. Always with a lovely look in your eyes, and doing your best even for small things…

If you look at it, maybe that’s why the older sister can play pranks on her normally, even in places where her father can’t see.

I wonder if my dad might be watching me…
Also, even if we fall into a crisis while playing pranks, we have faith that Dad will always show up and save us.

“…”

A home without a father.
Noah took a brief look at the spacious living room with his bag on, then quietly went upstairs.

It wasn’t much of a reason why she could understand her sister’s heart her.

Click…

[Mathematics 1-2]

“…”

Even herself, she didn’t like her to open the textbook to something she would normally have done from reviewing.
Something… I feel less energetic than usual.
At the same time, it was the first time that this spacious and splendid house felt unfamiliar.

“Guys! Let’s take a bath together with moms! Everyone come down!”
“Kyaang! It’s a bath!”
“Yes, Noah will go down now too!”

Still, watching the efforts of the mother and the aunties to somehow fill the empty seat of the father, it feels like the empty space in the heart that has become empty is being filled.

However, no matter how hard mothers tried, there were definitely parts that could not be filled.

“Today I will read you a fairy tale. Everyone lie in bed.”
“Wow! My mom is reading a book It doesn’t fit very well.”
“What did you say? You want to get hit before you go to bed, don’t you?”

In a way, it’s not at all different from my usual routine.

“Okay then, sleep well. I’ll turn off the lights.”
“Good night mom too.”

「Click!」

Normally, I would read fairy tales and fall asleep instantly when the lights went out.

“Noah? Are you asleep?”
“Not yet, sister. My eyes are thicker today than I thought.”
“Ugh, Miho is also grainy.”

Watching Miho get up, Noah cautiously climbed out of bed. Seeing that, Miho held out her hand to Noah and said.

“Let’s go get a glass of warm milk.”
“Yes, sister.”

Walking down to the first floor and taking out milk from the refrigerator, Noah flinched involuntarily.

“When dealing with gas, I always call her dad. Understand? Noah is still a child, so it’s dangerous.”

Something… Hate.

“Unni, just drink the milk like this.”
“Uh? Got it.”

Gulp, gulp.
Passing the cold milk down their throats, the two children sat down at the table and stared at the empty sofa for no reason.
In particular, the seat in the middle where Kim Hyun-woo was always lying on his side and he kept bothering me.

It was then.

“Noah.”
“Yes?”

Took, and Miho’s little palm came up over his head his, just like his dad her did.
Miho said.

“Dad, he will be back in a week. So cheer up.”
“Ah…”

Only then did Noah realize belatedly.
Unlike usual, she was strange, it wasn’t just her sister her. No, rather, she herself is much sharper than usual and in a melancholy state…
Her older sister her, Miho, was taking care of that, so she didn’t sleep during class.

“Jurruk… 」

Noah sobbed, dripping her tears, dripping with her eyesight blurring in an instant.

“Ahhh, sister… Dad, I miss you. Heck, hehe!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Miho wants to see Dad too. Don’t worry too much Dad said he would come in a week. I never lie about things like that. If she told Miho she was coming, she would have come back that day, even if it was late.”

Miho, who soothed and soothed her Noah, took her hand her and entered her bedroom. There, the three mothers who are still awake are sitting and quietly spending time.

“Yes? What is it, can’t you sleep? A glass of warm milk…”
“Mom! Miho and Noah, let’s sleep here for today.”
“Yes?”

At the unexpectedly cute request, the mothers, including Seonwoo Yerang, smiled slightly and took the space in the middle of the bed. … To be precise, he hit the place where Kim Hyun-woo usually slept with his palm.

“Yes, come over here.”
“Kyaaaaang!”

Only then did Miho jump in as usual, curl up like a chrysalis, and smell Daddy’s scent from the blanket and pillow.
He murmured as he slowly fell asleep.

“Dad, I don’t want to see you…”
