Chapter 73 – Chapter 73

〈 Noah’s point of view 〉

Even if I forgot her own face, Noah had a woman’s face that I could never forget.

“Ha ha, ha ha…”

For Noah, the only time he could feel relieved was when everyone was asleep.
She had to go to sleep shivering from the cold by collecting as much dust, soil, and remaining leaf fragments as possible from the shabby stable where even the horse had died.
However, due to her mother’s excessive labor demands on her young Noah, she was able to ignore the coldness lightly.
Fortunately, the fact that it was a silver dragon, not another dragon, might have helped a little.
Even so, it was not easy to use the power of a humanoid, even a dragon with broken horns.

‘Ah, the day has finally come to an end.’

It was scary that morning would come, but when morning came, all I had to do was hold on while waiting for the night I could sleep like this again.
It was clear that if I continued to endure like this, one day I would have a proper father and mother.

“Wait, Dad, Mom…”

It is the moment when Noah sniffs and tries to fall into sweet sleep, curled up like a chrysalis preparing to become a butterfly.

「Jeobuck, Jeobuck! Jeobuk, Jeobuck!」

There was a sound of footsteps stomping hard on the ground.
Just from the sound of footsteps, Noah immediately guessed who it was and closed her eyes tightly. She was willing to pretend she was sleeping as much as she could and she was.
However, it didn’t matter at all whether she was sleeping or not when it came to her now coming to the stable.

“Bang!”

“Noah, you bitch. Where are you!”

… Always been here

Noah was always here in the corner of the stable where, if she had been a normal child, she would have frozen to death. Even so, she doesn’t even know.
A woman who pretends to be nice and cultured in front of others and always calls her ‘Mom’.

‘Please please…’

「Suddenly!」

Noah shuddered and said, “Please, if there is a God, just for today…” … She prayed that only this moment would pass safely.
However, never once did her own prayers come true.
Not even once.

“Puck!”

“Where is this bitch pretending to sleep!”
“Kyaaaaa!”

Noah screamed at her unexpected kick and reflexively raised her hands to protect her face. Then her woman stomped on her more excitedly and screamed at her.

“Do you think I look funny too? It’s funny how I didn’t have a husband, raised my daughter by myself, and tried to turn my life around by buying a dragon!”
“Oh, no. Uh, mom… Uh, mom isn’t funny at all. Mom is amazing. Everyone is different from everyone else.”
“Different?”

Noah looked at her woman as she put her hands together and begged.

She has blonde hair, but a woman with a slightly different appearance from other people.

It was okay when her talented husband was there, but after her husband lost her life due to an unexpected illness and even bought herself with most of the property left by her husband, she was ignored even by neighbors she knew. Was suffering

“I, what a difference! What’s different!”
“Ugh, ugh, sin, sorry… Ugh!”

Noah thought while getting hit.
It’s unfair to leave the pain.

Also, the woman and the mother are so scared… It was disappointing.
If I had proper parents, and if I could only grow up properly, I would be a good woman.

‘I thought it wouldn’t have been even a bite!’

It was only for a moment that he flashed, revealing his eyes full of anger and murder.

“Where is this bitch going to open her eyes! Do you want to die like this? Great. If you want to die like that, I’ll kill you here right now! Die, like this useless dragon!”
“Cheuk, billion!”

It was only for a while that she raised her fighting spirit with her dragon instinct, and Noah was a shy girl by birth.
She waited for this pain to pass quickly, as her immediate fear was only filled with it.

“Mom, go there! Then he will die.”

… Sister?

Why is her sister trying to protect me?

“Then, if I really die, who will listen to me as an attendant! Now there are no servants!”
“Whoa, that’s right too. Tsk, no matter how useless it is, I paid a lot of money to buy it. We will have to do it for the rest of our lives.”

Noah, who had been looking forward to it, had to whimper while shedding bitter tears.
I’m so sad, even though I’m showing you how hard it is.
Mom and her sister didn’t pay any attention, but rather laughed as if they liked hearing Noah cry and walked away, leaving her wounded Noah behind.

But this is a very old memory.
Then she met her ‘real dad’, and also her ‘real sister’, although she was stunned at being blonde again.

‘Now I just need to meet my real mother.’

By doing so, Noah was able to complete her ideal family that she so longed for.
However…

“Hi guys?”

She couldn’t accept this woman as much as she did as her own mother.
Seonwoo Yerang looked just like the woman who had bullied him so much.

Even the voice was the same.

* * *

Startled, I went over to Noah, who was lying on his back, to check on her condition.
It was fortunate that after the children were seriously ill, I often checked information on various first aid measures just in case.
Rather than fainting because of a problem somewhere, it seemed that he had lost consciousness because he was so shocked.
It seemed like this would happen soon enough.
The problem wasn’t that.

“…”

「Flicker!」

Noah was worried, but Seonwoo Yerang was also worried about her.
Seonwoo Yerang’s fingertips were trembling slightly as she was making a very embarrassed expression.

“Ugh, ER… No, go ahead, call an ambulance… Peel?”
“No, sister. Not quite like that.”
“However, the child suddenly collapsed in front of her with such a frightened expression…”
“It will happen soon.”
“Oh, that, is it?Haha…”

Seonwoo Yerang stroked her right arm with her left hand, stammering her words.

“Did I look scary in many ways? Didn’t you tell me not to dye it? Ah ha ha… Wouldn’t it have been better not to go blonde?”
“Sister…”
“Ah, as much as possible… Still, she chose and picked out plain clothes that she said would suit her mother. Or is it too much like an ajumma?”
“Sister, no, not like that.”

Damn, I never imagined things would turn out like this.
Even Seonwoo Yerang could have been traumatized by unexpected developments. She said suddenly hello, and then she did a peek and watched the child fall down.
Even if it were me, my hands and feet would tremble in shock.
And she might have tried not to see eye to eye with me again.

“Yes.”

It was then.
Miho, who was checking on Noah’s condition next to me, runs to Seonwoo Yerang.

“Miho is also blonde. Yerang’s blonde hair is pretty too.”
“…”
“Your clothes are beautiful today. So it’s okay Yerang didn’t do anything wrong.”

Seonwoo Yerang hiccuped for a moment in tears at Miho’s words while tapping the back of her hand twice, then nodded her head.

“Yeah, thank you?”
“Kyaang!”

I was really fortunate to have Miho.
Miho opened the gift box that Seonwoo Yerang had brought, and when the turkey hat and chicken doll came out as I said, she put on a really disappointed expression for a moment.

“Oong, it’s a chicken, it’s a chicken hat~ yahoo~.”

As if she was so desperately happy, she put a turkey hat on her head and hopped around Seonwoo Yerang with her chicken doll in her arms.
At the same time, she subtly took a bite of the chicken doll, and then spat on the floor casually, which was a bonus.

“So good? Then I have 100 more in my house. Would you like to send them all?”

Miho put on a serious expression.

“Miho’s house, there is no place to sleep.”
“Ah… Right.”

First of all, Seonwoo Yerang seemed to have regained some of her calm thanks to Miho’s efforts. However, her essential problem was not resolved at all.
Noah was terrified to see Seonwoo Yerang, and with the word ‘mom’, her complexion turned blue and she even passed out. No matter how severe human phobia Noah was, she had never reacted so violently outside.
Then, I hate to admit it, but all I could see was that Noah was afraid of Seonwoo Yerang.

‘Whoa, why?’

This was the first time Noah and Seonwoo Yerang met.
Sunwoo Yerang didn’t do anything wrong to Noah, but at the same time she felt sorry for Seonwoo Yerang for her reaction like this, and at the same time, she was a little frustrated and angry.
But that was only for a moment.

‘It’s not the first time I’ve seen that expression.’

I had already witnessed with my own eyes Noah’s similar reaction.

“Ah, Dad… No, Noah, it’s nothing…”

When you’re full of fear.
It was similar to Noah’s reaction at that time, when he wanted to cry more than anyone else but couldn’t even cry, holding her resentment in her heart and moving like a doll.

‘It might be my mistake.’

I wanted to hear about the trauma Miho and Noah are having when they find a little more stability and grow up a little.
But maybe I should have found out sooner.

[That’s not it.]
[You did your best. This is no one’s fault.]

Said the voice.

[Just, at times like this, I have no choice but to resent the cruelty of fate.]

Damn, because resenting fate doesn’t change anything.

‘Not. I’m not going to be mad at you.’

[… ] …]

What should I do now?
Me, Miho, Seonwooye and I… All three of them couldn’t help but worry about the same thing. And then, a soft moan escaped from Noah’s mouth.
At that moment, Seonwoo Yerang was startled and put the box of parcel wrapping paper that Miho had just opened on top of her face.

‘Oh my God, the speed of reaction is amazing.’

Mate!
Miho, who was watching from the side of her, also clapped with a smirk on her face of her. However, such Sunwoo Yerang only looked so pitiful.
She was a good woman
What kind of woman could she think of such a method as a reflexive consideration for a child in this situation? She has a new make-up for now, new clothes… She was a woman who had been prepared for so much in many ways.
That made her even more sad.

“Kyaahhhhh! Ah! Ha, ha, ha, ha… ! Dad, Dad! Dad! Save me, save me No, Noah was wrong, Noah is sorry… Whoops, whoops…”

As soon as Noah woke up, despite Seonwoo Yerang covering her face her, she screamed and begged desperately to save her life her.
It was a dangerous situation.
I’d just lost consciousness lightly, but fainting wasn’t something that could be dismissed lightly as I had researched. In particular, a mild headache follows immediately after waking up from fainting, and passing out immediately after that can lead to a serious accident.
Especially if breathing difficulties occurred like Noah now, the possibility was too high.

“Noah, it’s okay. Please calm down huh? Dad will be by your side.”
“Huh, uhhh! I’m sorry, Dad… Really sorry. But, Noah. Me, that girl… Ah, no, I don’t think I will be as good as that person.”
“…”

[… ] …]

No one knew it would turn out like this.
Maybe it’s my fault
I didn’t even know that I was punished because I thought too easily and assumed that the marriage had already been confirmed.

It’s a punishment…
It was a very familiar word.

If I want to live my life easily, it comes down without fail.
Damn that bastard.
But, I thought it might be.

It would be even weirder if I, an unfilial person who still drove a nail into my parents’ hearts and refused to pull them out, would not be punished by God.

“Sister, I’m sorry, but for today…”
“Yes…It’s okay.”

After saying that, Seonwu Yerang fumbled with her hand even to the front door and walked with the delivery box inside out.
Seeing this, Miho guided Seonwoo Yerang by holding her hand her tightly.

It was not easy for me to see her off her.
It was because Noah was still trembling, unable to calm her breathing. She was overcome with a strong fear that noah could not understand to me, and she was crying as if she would be out of breath at any moment.
I can’t even imagine how terrible the trauma this child is carrying.
Frankly, now I was terrified to hear about this child’s trauma and share her pain.

And with Seonwooye…

‘Perhaps it’s over now.’

This kind of development continued, but Seonwoo Yerang is not some kind of Buddha. It was clear that she didn’t expect to come this far and marry me and be the mother of these children.
If it happened, perhaps even the relationship between the host and the customer could have come to an end.

“Miho doesn’t hate Yerang. I like you.”

“Flinching”

Seonwoo Yerang, who was about to go out with her shoulders stretched out with her delivery box overturned, stopped on the spot.
Miho spoke to her one more time.

“Yerang is a small mother.”

In response, Seonwoo Yerang took off the delivery box she was wearing and put it down on her floor her, then she folded her knees at Miho’s her eye level, bent over her waist and kissed her on the cheek.

“Side”

“Thank you.”
“Kyaaaaang!”

And, she said.

“See you next.”
“Yes!”

Obviously, see you next time…
