Chapter 87 – Episode 87 – Short Days With My Stepdaughter

* Episode 87 – Short days with my stepdaughter

Meanwhile, the Mechanic Guild was in an uproar.

-On the 10th day, the prostitute left a message saying, “I’m going down slowly,” But didn’t come down.

-Brigita, unable to withstand Ian’s pressure, confesses that she killed her sister.

-The guild executives generally said they were aware of the situation or not, but the atmosphere was gloomy.

-It’s already been more than 10 days, it’s been 11 days, and today is the 11th day.

Eventually, while the guild members were looking away, Brigitta disappeared.

Immediately after the confession, after thinking about many things, he took advantage of the moment when everyone looked away to get some air and never came back.

“Ahhhhh!! That damned sullen woman! Who is calling her sullen? Who is calling her sullen? You shouldn’t criticize madam! You yourself have so much stored up inside yourself, and you call madam sullen! What are you going to do if you immediately say you killed your sister and run away? “Are you sure!!!”

Thanks to you, Ian also exploded.

That’s right, the current number one in the rankings even put off his own work to help me, but with a result like this, I’m really upset.

The Mechanic Guild, who was watching this situation from the sidelines, reported.

“It looks like my sister has climbed to the top.”

“Looking at it, it’s not the 15th floor, but it looks like it went somewhere else…”

“It hasn’t been that long since it spilled, so don’t worry, we’ll find it soon.”

Everyone is tired.

It’s like that when a child gets involved in a topic that he normally pretends to be easy-going about.

She is really a troublesome old lady, but she is not a good person, and she is worried.

“What should I do? Isn’t it like going to some strange floor and getting bullied and losing energy? Or maybe even trying to commit suicide! Ugh!”

“No matter how bad my sister is, she’s not that type of person.”

“From my point of view, the current situation is a mess!? Oh, I guess I just left it to Changgi to send Bridgetta to the 15th floor! But if I send her up again, I’m afraid Leah will break out, and I’ll never be able to catch her-“

“No. 1.”

“That’s why those bastards on the dark web put a bounty on Leah for some reason! No, why are they getting involved in this in the first place!? Of course, I know there are a lot of bastards who want to take advantage of the Mechanic Guild by destroying it! Kidnapping a child is too much. You passed it!”

“No. 1.”

“-Ah, really, what are you asking me to do? Bridget says he killed my sister and then disappears. The prostitute is very infrequent in contact. If you look at the most recent text message, he just sent me a message saying, “I think this will happen.” There’s no contact. I want you to explain more!”

“No. 1.”

“I want to rest too! When I get back, I have a backlog of guild-related work! Look, my hair has become dull! The dye has faded, and my hair is starting to turn black!! I also want to have fun all week, go to the hair salon, and buy clothes!”

“No. 1.”

“-Oh why! Can’t you see I’m complaining!?”

“Well, I just got a call. [Scavenger] Is back?”

“… Huh?”

I opened my eyes wide.

“Really?”

“Yes. They’re back. Are there the kids I sent to find you earlier? They said they met while they were preparing to go up the tower… Due to timing, they’ll be coming soon.”

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the guild home became noisy.

The murmur that started on the first floor reached the second floor where the office was, and soon a familiar spotted bird appeared.

“Why is the atmosphere like this? Is this a mourning house?”

“You prostitute!!”

First, we hugged.

I thought he would beat me up if I met him, but his body was honest.

Because I couldn’t hug him, I made a fuss by rubbing my cheek in his arms and shaking my legs.

“Why are you here now? You haven’t even contacted me in a while! You can at least leave a text message!!”

“If you contact me often, Leah will notice. Most of the time, I turn off my cell phone to be with my child. Still, I sent a text message from time to time, but did it last that long?”

“I know that because I received the text message too! I know, but it’s frustrating!”

Haha, Ian is dragging his feet.

I glanced around the room in such a heavy atmosphere.

“What’s going on? Why is the atmosphere like this? What, where has your sister gone?”

“That’s—”

I explained what happened in the past 12 days.

-Even though the request was canceled through the draftsman guild, the attacks continued.

-I looked through the information network and found a request posted on the dark web, but was unable to withdraw it.

-Even within the mechanic guild, opinions were divided, with those saying we should send someone and others saying we should respect Leah’s opinion.

-While she was wondering how to respond to this, the bridge rider, who was worried that Leah might get hurt, drank her drink and started drinking.

Since this was repeated for 11 days, stress was bound to build up.

“If you don’t like it, just leave it alone and do your own thing. You’re very loyal, too.”

She hugged Ian gently, ruffled her hair, and looked at the reactions of those around her.

Heavily armored warriors who did not suit Ian, who was cosplaying as a witch, looked at him with tired faces.

“Who are these people?”

“These are the executives here. As I just said, they are also the ones who are busy running around looking for the people who requested the raid on Leah.”

“Everyone is having a hard time.”

I bowed my head, and they also bowed briefly.

“Look at what my lady did in the meantime.”

“… Huh.”

Countless liquor bottles rolling around at your feet.

I was surprised that there was no such thing as a Chobae.

“When my sister gets angry, she tends to drink alcohol.”

“It’s a really bad habit.”

“I must have had an accident like that once or twice.”

“So we took turns stopping people and watching from the side to make sure no accidents occurred.”

They responded harshly and praised the hardships of the executives who were on duty.

“How was it? Did your conversation with Leah go well!?”

“Uh… I don’t know if people here heard. Did you hear from Leah that your sister did something?”

“Her aunt killed her sister?”

“Did you hear that too?”

The temperature in the room dropped in an instant.

But Ian was the only one who was depressed, and the executives exchanged awkward glances.

While they were wondering, ‘How should I explain this?’, Ian cried based on the story he heard from Brigitta.

“Now I know why she did that. From Leah’s point of view, Aunt Zita is her enemy. She grew up in the arms of the person who killed her mother, so of course she wants to leave. That’s why she threw her away so coldly even though they only reunited that day.”

“…”

“From her point of view, it’s not strange for her to throw a fit and hate her. So Aunt Zita doesn’t want to be hated even more, so she seems to leave everything to her.”

Ian confessed that he had suffered such mental hardships, but he still tilted his head.

“Why? Did I say something wrong?”

“Should I call this wrong?”

The prostitute is dumbfounded.

The guild executives also behaved awkwardly.

In response to Ian’s response, she wondered if she had misunderstood something and asked.

“Did you just hear that far?”

“No? I heard that Aunt Zita killed her sister. She is a terrible person who did such a thing. She said she couldn’t do something that Leah didn’t like, so she deliberately didn’t send a search party…”

“Killed her sister. Does the story end there?”

“Yes. Then he cried himself to sleep. I was so dumbfounded.”

There are several extra beds installed in the office.

Bridgeta stayed here all day, worried about her child, and her guild members were worried about her.

“Oh, my sister is a great person too. I know she doesn’t want to hide her mistakes, but she shouldn’t say that.”

“What do you mean?”

“Revealing the truth because you don’t want to hide it is different from explaining it accurately. No, I don’t know why a mother and daughter are like this when it’s a misunderstanding that can be easily resolved.”

When Changgi pulls the back of his neck and straightens his back, the atmosphere becomes more relaxed.

At this, Ian felt that ‘something was loose’, and the executives gathered here awkwardly avoided eye contact.

“You guys knew, right?”

“… Roughly.”

“I couldn’t tell you because I don’t know everything.”

“If you know anything, please explain it to me later.”

Everyone nodded at the prostitute’s words.

Ian had to answer the question with an expression that still didn’t know what it was.

“Where did the person in charge, my sister, go?”

“It’s the top. I don’t know which class it went to.”

“Hi. Instead of talking, you jumped out because you were embarrassed? It’s funny. The child is too much of an adult, but the parents are too much of a child. Don’t you know why their behavior and thoughts have changed?”

I sarcasticized it exactly as it came to mind, but no one denies this.

In reality, Leah was an adult and Brigitta acted like a child.

“Then let’s wait until we hear news from you…”

Should I go back and rest, or should I take a nap here? I got kicked in the shins due to such ridiculous worries.

“Don’t pass it off as such. What about Leah? Did you succeed in persuading her?”

“Rather than saying that the persuasion was successful, I would say that we are now in the negotiation stage… Since he has finally opened his mind, we should have a three-way meeting with me to resolve any misunderstandings.”

“What’s the misunderstanding? What do the executives know that’s why they’re reacting like this? It’s Aunt Zita’s fault in its entirety. Looking at her hesitating and hesitating, she said she couldn’t even walk away from a child and said something indefensible?”

“It’s a shame, but Leah also misunderstood this. She came down at this moment to solve it and finish it.”

Even thinking about it again, I couldn’t help but laugh.

This time, I’m not playing Changgi.

Not only did she find the missing child, she got into a fight with a disobedient hunter, and this is what the guild is like.

“-No, but what kind of detective am I? This time, I have to find not just the girl, but her parents as well?”

“I’m sorry about that. We stopped looking at each other…”

“When do you think we’ll find it?”

“They said he was gone right after he left. It’s true. You really just have to wait a little while.”

“Write.”

Young said she couldn’t believe it and tried to take out a cigarette due to her stress…

Squeak.

The door slowly opened.

“…? Who is it? I would have told you not to let anyone in today except those involved-“

Red hair was flowing beyond the small open door.

“Huh?”

I was speechless and the corners of my mouth rose.

For a moment, I thought it was Bridget, but the position of her hair was too low.

Unless she came in with her back bent, she couldn’t be in that position.

So she was happy without even knowing it.

“Hey, you can’t believe it, right!?”

“Why? Am I going to come down empty-handed without doing anything?”

“No matter what, really…!”

She thought again that somehow her groove was in turmoil.

If Hong Chang-gi came alone, there is no reason for the guild members to be that surprised.

It will be quiet because there are more people who don’t know his face in the first place…

“Hello.”

“Leah!”

If the daughter in question comes down in person, the story is different.

Without disappointing their expectations, the girl stuck her head out.

This was the Leah they knew, except she had horns like a mountain goat.

Ian’s face widened at this feat, and the executives’ faces also brightened –

“-Auntie Ian?”

“Hey Mr.! I’m not a lady!!!”

The atmosphere of their long-awaited reunion was completely ruined by her shouting.
