Chapter 139 – A Mother With a Child in Her Arms

“Seo, Seo Yeon-ah?”
“You bad sister!”

Seoyeon’s angry voice was heard in her ears.
At the momentum that seemed like she was going to hit me at any moment, she was startled and backed away from her.
It’s a joke that I would have accepted if I was alone, but now I have a new baby in my arms.

“Sir, you didn’t want to meet me, so I was very surprised to know where you were wrong.”
“Mi-sorry, but I really didn’t mean to do that.”

And, did Seo-yeon finally see the new baby in my arms?
When she sees Sae-ah in my arms, her eyes widen.

“Uh, wait a minute. Could it be that he’s… A bird?”
“That’s right.”
“Wait a minute, then the terrorist who fought then…”
“That’s right. The bastard who kidnapped the bastard will kill you.”

When a merciless curse came out of my mouth with her smile, Seoyeon’s face was briefly surprised.
It must be because I’ve never seen my older sister swear so bloody.

“Uh, unni. It’s a little bit like swearing like that…”
“Why?”
“Oh, no. I just can’t get used to it because my sister curses at me.”

Yuna Seo.
I’m saying it because you don’t know, but last year, even worse curses than this were poured out on Kim Joo-won.
I didn’t do it for no reason.

“Ah. Anyway, I want to hug Sae-ah.”

As we sit on the sofa in the living room, Sae-ah comes out with her eyes wide open and looks at Seo-yeon in turn.
In an instant, Seoyeon’s eyes flashed a meaningless look in her eyes, but even that was for a moment.
She carefully hands her child over to her.

“Sayya, you worked hard.”

It must have been a bigger deal than I thought for her newborn baby who was only a few months old.
The real Lee Seo-ha held me hostage to do as she pleased, but if I hadn’t won there.
Maybe he killed me with Sae-ah’s life hostage.

“Yeon-ah Seo.”
“Huh?”
“Then would you like to watch the bird for a while?”
“Where are you from?”
“Huh.”

I got up from my seat.
Seoha Lee must have had a time when he wasn’t as crazy as he is now.
And traces of those days must be in this room.

‘This is Seoha Lee’s room…’

I stood in front of the door, a short walk from the living room on the first floor down the long hallway.
I held the doorknob that bordered the space that the dimensional eye had told me was Seoha Lee’s room.
It was said that it was 8 years, so the room was not used for at least that period.

‘It’s desolate.’

Is Lee Seo-ha’s actual age now twenty-four or twenty-five?
As soon as I entered, the impression of the room was that it was quite desolate, even though there were certain ornaments.
It was as if they focused on appearances and did not consider the emotions of actual users.

‘Whoa.’

Bookshelf, bed. Table and so on.
This and that furniture, and even the piano in one corner of the room.
There were many things, but from the design to the use of each object, it felt like there were none that Lee Seo-ha really wanted.
Perhaps, in a way, if you hang the Cheonghwa Academy uniform here, that might be the first thing Lee Seo-ha really wanted.

‘The bed is nice.’

After not using it for a long time, I laid down on the cold bed that had just been cleaned and closed my eyes for a while.
In this desolate space, I thought for a moment of Lee Seo-ha, who lived with only Seo-yeon, who followed me like a mother.
The past she told me the other day.
Judging by her words that her eldest brother was scary and her father only worked, she might not have anyone to rely on.

‘That doesn’t mean that crazy evil is tolerated though.’

When I opened my eyes and turned my gaze to the bookshelf that filled one corner of the wall, I felt as if I could not breathe.
How can it be like that, without any entertainment media such as comics or novels.
Is it possible to fill it with books that look like liberal arts books in various fields or semi-professional books?

‘It’s useful to have a computer at least.’

Of course, the bookshelf is that shape, but there’s no way the computer has games installed on it.
In the original work, I remembered what I had written to dispel readers’ doubts about Lee Seo-ha’s family.
In the novel, Lee Seo-ha, who became close with Kim Joo-won, was dubious when asked if she had an older sister or younger sister from other students.
She had decided on a course with the nuance of avoiding mention of her family at all.

‘It was a writer’s opportunistic development.’

It was a choice made to focus on the main character and reduce the amount of money given to the supporting actors.
In fact, as a writer, she could have compromised to some extent, but it might have been an unfortunate choice for Seo-Hara Lee.
The world gave Lee Seo-ha the advantage of being a child of a conglomerate family, but on the contrary, it threw him the misfortune of fighting with his father and leaving home to achieve what he wanted.

“It’s difficult.”

Perhaps, Seoha Lee’s anger wasn’t limited to killing herself, but all the parts of her life that she had been living were intertwined.
At the point where she died anyway, it would all be useless.

‘Lee Seo-ha in this world wasn’t Lee Seo-ha, who belonged to this family, but a prospect from a different family.’

It was then.
I heard the voice of Seo-yeon looking for me, “Sister!” From outside, and I hurriedly got up.
Sae-ah must be crying, and Seo-yeon must be at a loss for what to do.

“Uh, sister. Saeah, why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

It wasn’t because I was hungry because I fed her milk in the morning.
Maybe, apart from her mother.

“I guess it’s because I’m not there.”

As soon as I was held in my arms, seeing Sae-ah stop crying like a lie, Seo-yeon put on a dumbfounded expression.
Maybe Sae-ah doesn’t remember that time either.
The fear of being separated from her mother and of something that looked just like her mother.

“Really…”

I heard Seoyeon’s bewildered voice.
Seo-yeon, who had been fiddling with Sae-ah’s cheeks with a sad expression, inflated her cheeks.
She wants the baby to be in her mother’s arms, what can she do?

“But Seo Yeon-ah.”
“Huh?”
“How did you know I was here?”
“…Sihoo said she saw her sister go out in an expensive car escorted by a middle-aged man.”
“Okay?”

That’s what Sihoo Yoon saw.
Then, how did my younger brother hear the news from Yoon Shi-hoo?
It’s news that I can’t hear unless I contact you separately.

“What are you thinking?”
“What?”
“Your sister’s expression just looked like an old lady who was afraid to say dirty words!”
“What do you mean by dirty words? It was just that I was in contact with my friend and her sister separately.

In the meantime, I laughed as I listened to Seoyeon say something to me with a shy expression on my face.
By the way, it’s Yoon Shi Hura.
Shihoo isn’t a bad girl, but she’s um…

“Why.”
“No.”

I do not know.
Is it okay if I just watch the two of them intertwine?
She giggled when she heard Seo-yeon say something disgruntled next to her.

* * *

“Haa, I’m tired.”

So bright, the day after discharge.
I was almost a school hero.
Although I was backed up by Kim Joo-won, I was the one who stopped Lee Seo-ha, who seemingly terrorized the school.

However, that wasn’t the end of the change after killing Lee Seo-ha.
First, the gaze of the surroundings.
I was no longer treated as an ordinary first-year student after killing Lee Seo-ha and gaining superpowers in return for reading her dimensional core.
If he was a promising player in the past, now he should be treated like an active guardian who can be used as a force in case of emergency.

Anyway, when the time comes for the next world to be created, I will stop at that time.

“Sweetie, Mom, I’m tired.”

And the second was the surprise of her mother, who showed up for class with her child in her arms.
In fact, it was almost strictly forbidden for guardians to meet the opposite sex when they were students, but in the meantime, they showed up at school as a mother.

And not only that.
Because my existence right now had problems in many ways.
Even though she is a woman, it doesn’t even make sense for her to enter Cheonghwa Academy because her gender is male according to the computer.

If it’s fortunate, the power I have isn’t something that even active instructors, let alone students, can easily touch, so everyone couldn’t say it.
I’m sure it will come out sooner or later.

“…Shall we just go home?”

Of course, apart from that, the reaction to Sae-ah wasn’t bad.
I undid the swaddling that had wrapped the baby on my back and carefully held the baby in my arms.
Everyone doesn’t look like that, but no matter how much they pay attention to Sae-ah’s cuteness.
In fact, rather than openly giving it away, it was more like everyone sneaking a peek at Sae Ah.

“Haha, why the hell is the instructor asking me to come?”

Again, he wrapped Sae-ah in a bag and tied it to his back and used dimensional transfer.
It was because of the words the instructor told me to come to the instructor’s office when the morning routine was over at the end of the ordinance.
It’s annoying, but first of all, my justified status is a student.

“Instructor, I’m here.”

When I arrived at the instructor’s room where the instructors were gathered, the instructors’ eyes fell on me.
She is a mother holding a child while wearing an academy uniform, and she is probably the first in this academy.

“Oh, are you here?”

When I arrived at our instructor, I finally knew the instructor’s name by looking at the sign on the table.
Mijung Kang.
I almost laughed at the more local name than I thought, but the moment I answered “Yes” Casually, my eyes met James who opened the door located on the other side of the instructor’s room and came in.

Reunion in one year.
However, now the situation has come to our instructor’s call.
Because she talked to her first, she told him to move to her counseling office, so she couldn’t have a conversation with him.
I had to follow the instructor to the counseling room with Sae-ah in my arms.
