Chapter 364 – Chapter 364

The fact that everything is fine.
I knew that from a very long time ago.

Because modern medicine, which is as good as Mina’s keen eyes, has already informed me of that fact.
However, isn’t there such a thing as mental trauma?

“Everything, everything didn’t get better…”

Miho is talking that way too.

“Hey, Mina…”
“Will you let me talk with Miho for a moment?”
“Ooh, ooh!”

At Mina’s words her, she looked at Miho with her tear-stained face asking for help, but it was her family reunion her after a long time.
It was a bit like rejecting Mina’s words of hers.

More than anything, I also wanted Miho to be better than now.
Not for me, but for her brighter future her.

“Great.”
“Thanks.”

In this case, respect again.

“Follow.”
“Ukyaaaaang!”

Seeing Miho crying desperately like someone being dragged to a slaughterhouse, I slightly turned my head.
Mina and Miho went into the guest room at the far end and locked the door.
But, strangely.

“Miho, look at your sister.”
“Ooh, ooh…”

I can hear their voices vividly in my ears as if they were next to me.
I wondered what this was.
Irene, who came out of the bedroom rubbing her eyes, murmured softly.

“… Whoa, what is this? From morning? You’re a wind spirit, aren’t you?”

Spirit of the wind?

“Can’t you see anything in my eyes?”
“Ah, even if he received God’s blessing, he wouldn’t be able to see it unless he had an affinity with the spirits. Right now, the wind spirit is delivering the sound.”
“Okay?”

What the hell is Mina thinking?
It was then.

“Miho, what are you thinking right now?”
“What, what are you thinking? Miho didn’t think anything of it.”
“Do not be ridiculous. How did she become such a clever child?”
“…”

Just by listening to his voice her, you could see how things were going on inside.
Mina swears by her cold expression her, and even Miho, who is holding her pajamas with both hands, overwhelmed by Mina.

“Do you want to continue acting in front of your sister?”
“… !”

Performance?
The moment I heard that, I unknowingly flinched.
Are you acting? What smoke?

“… It’s not acting.”
“If pretending to be cute and pitiful on purpose is not acting, what is it?”
“Mi, Miho… I still remember being bullied…”
“Mom, how many times did Dad tell me not to lie! Neither my sister, nor a human, nor an elf should lie! That’s all karma!”
“That kind of thing, Miho doesn’t care at all.”
“Because now is so precious?”
“…”

Silence here was nothing short of affirmation.

“Yes, I don’t know how the parents of ‘now’ could have been fooled. No, I must have lied to my biological parents. But, you can’t fool her sister’s eyes to her.”

Miho flinched.

“You are traumatized and sleeping. Her tongue is completely healed. Why do you deliberately make an astringent sound when you can pronounce it right now?”
“I-I did that on purpose…”
“Miho! No, Miho Kim! How many times are you going to lie in front of your sister? It’s been a while since we met, she doesn’t even remember what kind of elf her sister was?”

Miho opened his mouth, shaking his clenched fists.

“… If you come and suddenly get better, you don’t know what will happen.”

Cooong!

So perfect pronunciation, me and Seonwooyewa too.
No, even Hwang Bona-young and Noah who were in the living room.
The hearts of all the family members were broken.

It was because I never imagined that Miho would trick us with something like that.
It was more so because I was a child who was always bright.

“What? Are you saying that now?”
“Not too long ago, I was really bad! Miho, you didn’t move your tongue properly.”
“But better is better.”
“Then, what if Miho ends up alone? What if I get thrown away because I’m better now and I don’t feel sorry for you at all?”
“… Was it because you were worried about being abandoned? Mom and Dad’s daughter, and you, my little sister, lie just because of that…”
“To Miho, that is the most important thing! It was even more important than the next life!”

First time heard
Miho screaming in such a desperate voice.

Even when she just arrived at my house, even when she was in pain and cried for help, Miho had never once let out a mournful voice as if she had hung herself to such an extent.

It felt like my heart was being squeezed by the desperateness.

“Even if he lied, if he could be with his father and mother, Miho would have been able to lie until he died… No, there was.”
“Because it’s that good?”
“Joe, okay… Dad and mom are the best in the world. Precious Moms like it, Noah likes it too. So she doesn’t want to be abandoned.”
“Didn’t you ever think that what you’re doing is apologetic to your family?”
“…”
“There is nothing more cruel than lying to people who truly value and love you. How is that any different from the humans who tricked the elves into raiding our village?”
“… !”

Mina’s words of her were so sharp that she could n’t believe she was talking to a child.

“You are as if you are driving a dagger directly into your parents’ chest with your own hands. For the sake of your selfish happiness, out of fear that you might be abandoned.”
“Mi, Miho is like that…”
“She pretended to be cute, but she still pretended to be pitiful and tried to live as their daughter her? Is my sister wrong? Tell me.”
“Ahhhhh! Sorry.”
“It is not my fault. Right now, it’s only right for someone who thinks of you more than me. My sister is not a very nice elf.”

It was then.
Click!
The locked door opened naturally, and I met eyes with Miho, who was crying profusely.

Until then, Miho must have thought that we hadn’t heard their conversation.
I wanted to be a little conflicted.
Soon after, seeing our expressions, I realized in an instant.

“… Did you hear everything? No, I heard… Ah.”

We were just making faces that felt sorry for Miho.
There was nothing to be upset about.
Considering what Miho had been through, he could have been scared enough. Because he could have understood that.

However, Mina may have been partially correct.
The reason lying is a sin is because it sometimes embarrasses oneself more than the other person and chokes one’s breath.

“Mi, Miho…”

Her usual innocent smile Her was gone, and I and her Seonwoo Yerang rushed at her at the same time, seeing her blue-eyed child who couldn’t even breathe properly.

The two of them gave her a tight hug.

Haha… !”

Only then does Miho breathe again.
With tears in her clear and transparent eyes, she vomited out the truth that had been lingering in her heart for a long time, as if taking a deep breath.

“Ahhhhh, I was wrong. Miho, don’t throw it away. It’s been a while since I’ve really gotten better… ! I’m sorry, I was wrong… Aaaaang!”

Momentarily, Seonwoo Yerang and I both opened her mouths and were startedled.
I was hesitant about what to say.
I wondered if I was going to hurt Miho, who was in danger like a piece of glass, by saying anything hastily here.
So, rather than attaching meaningless rhetoric… She only took out what she wanted to say to her.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
“You don’t have to apologize at all. It could have been enough Mom understands everything.”

Then Miho put a lot of strength into her little hands her and scratched our backs and cried even more.

“Huh uh uh uh uh uh uh! It wasn’t because I really couldn’t believe it, it wasn’t like that, heuuuuu! I just did it because I was scared. Miho was wrong. Aaaaang!”
“It’s okay. It’s really okay. Dad and Mom don’t care about any of that.”
“Uuuuu…”

Pat Pat.
It was Miho who was crying enough to worry that he might be out of breath at this rate. He was such a tender-hearted child.
That’s why, as Mina said, even if the lie had been a little longer, it might not have been undone.
The thing that hurt her most must have even been her baby sister her, Miho.

Above all, as adults, we were able to fully understand Miho.
I could tell just by looking at this small, fragile body that was being held right now.

This child was always a ‘child’.
He left the elves and was still an existence that could not grow properly on his own without the love and protection of his parents.
A child like that would have been continuously babbling in front of us for months, and then suddenly got better.
The doctor also said that mental trauma was the problem.
Or maybe it would have healed on its own as she started attending elementary school and interacted with the children more often.
Whatever it is, this child…
She couldn’t say anything when she thought of how hard it must have been for the naive Miho, who was not someone else, to deceive others.

Perhaps there is only one person here who can do that.

“So, if I hadn’t lied in the first place, none of this would have happened. Still lacking, my sister.”

Real sister.
That was only possible for Mina, who had lived as a strict older sister to Miho.
Judging from the fact that she allowed her to overhear her story her as a wind spirit, Mina did it with this in mind in the first place.

And, I had to do what I could.

“Miho, no, Miho Kim. Look at dad.”
“Sniff.”
“Do you think Dad will just throw it away for something like that? No, absolutely not.”
“Ugh, you know…”
“On the contrary, Dad is very happy to think that even in the midst of this, our daughter’s trauma has healed. Heartily.”
“Whoa, whoa! Whoa!”

Today’s Miho was literally bursting with tears.
It was the same with Sunwoo.
It’s kind of odd that she shed tears.

Her expression hardly changed, but only tears streamed down her eyes.

“I’m stupid… Mom, have I been so unreliable? With just that…!”
“Oh, no. Ugh, it’s not like that, Mom.”

Even Seonwoo Ye-rang, who was always strong, would crumble like tofu in front of her daughter. At the same time, she was also a shock to Miho as Seonwoo Yerang, who was usually only strong, showed her weak side of her.

“It was because Miho was just a coward. Mom and Dad loved it so much. I love my family so much… Ooh.”

As her Miho tried to cry again, Seonwoo Yerang, on her reflex her, hugged her tightly in her arms and said,

“Okay…I’ll do something like that. So, in the future, don’t think about cheating on your mother. No, you can lie as much as you like. But, don’t do it like this. Understand If you want anything, she’ll give her anything she wants. Anything her mother can’t listen to, she’ll do everything her father does.”
“Ooh, uhhhhh!”
“That is… It’s family.”

Mina seemed indifferent to us and wanted to look down, and then she sighed and laughed.

“My parents would have had to admit it. It’s real.”

It was around the time when we hugged each other so much that even I shed tears.
Curl r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r!
Even in the midst of this, Miho’s belly button clock was clearly ringing, and Miho’s face her turned red.

“… Do you know what shame is?”
“Kyaa, kayauuuuu!”
“Okay, let’s eat. Our Miho is a foodie. You don’t have to eat well and get your energy back. By the way, Miho.”
“Ugh, why?”

Sunwoo Yerang was Sunwoo Yerang.
I can’t get over the bad stuff.

“Since when have you been cheating?”
“To…”

To that question, Miho carefully answered.

“… I think it gets better around the sports day. At that time, as we all cheered together, I realized that Miho also had a clear pronunciation.”

Sports day?
Upon hearing those words, Seonwoo Yerang and I couldn’t help but laugh like idiots.

“What, it’s really not long ago.”
