Chapter 91 – Episode 91 – Reconciliation Between Mother and Daughter Caught Foolishly

* Episode 91 – Reconciliation between mother and daughter caught foolishly

[Brigita Bailey awakens to consciousness.]

[Please be careful not to cause confusion in the ceremony.]

Her scene ended, and she appeared in her darkened world.

With her tear-soaked face, she looked blankly at me and Leah, without even a trace.

In the flashback she had been crying until now, she was the older sister herself.

“Huh, huh, huh? W-what… Why are you guys here? And you, Leah… Why…”

Her face was pale.

I couldn’t believe that she had just seen her own dream, or that she had seen her own insides.

“Oh, no? You guys just saw that, right?”

“I saw it all.”

“Ah… Eh…?”

“I saw it all.”

“What is that…”

My sister stood there dumbfounded and came to her senses late.

“You saw it? Ah, ah, did you show it to Leah?”

“Yes.”

“That’s crazy. What do you mean!”

When he realized that he had made a big mistake, he came running like a dog even though he was naked.

“-Wow!”

Then he snatched Leah from my arms.

Like a mother trying to protect her child.

“Huh, huh…? What’s going on? This is no place for a child like Leah. Why did you bring her child to a place like this!”

“Does someone who knows that well sleep in this class?”

“I just came here to escape reality! I thought someone would save me anyway! That’s why I came here to take a break!”

“There is no sense of responsibility.”

His blue eyes opened wide, probably surprised by my sharp words.

“… You!!”

“Don’t be angry. I came here to clear up the misunderstanding between you two.”

“What a misunderstanding! What should I do if I show that scene to a child?”

She hugged Leah again.

-The daughter I barely met.

-My lovely daughter.

Just looking at her child made her sob and she couldn’t hide her sadness.

“Are you okay? Are you not surprised? I’m sorry for showing you this. I didn’t mean to show you this.”

She held her child’s cheek and prayed.

She apologized again and again for what she did.

That’s why Leah fought back.

“No, aunt. I’m truly sorry.”

“What? No, I don’t know what it is, but you didn’t do anything wrong. So don’t say it.”

“No. I would have been uncomfortable.”

“No. I said no. Please don’t do that.”

“I know everything. That’s why I said that to my aunt at that time.”

I poured out what was inside.

Even though my sister and I say it’s a misunderstanding, we remain steadfast.

I brought this kid here because I wanted to destroy it.

[Leah Bailey’s dream begins.]

[Please be careful not to cause confusion in the ceremony.]

And the perspective changed.

This time it was Leah’s dream.

This is the story of when this smart kid became self-conscious and learned to think.

“Mom. Me today. I went to kindergarten.』

“Mom. Today. Write down a perfect score.』

“Mom. Today I am a kindergarten teacher-』

『…』

Even though she is about to start kindergarten, Leah speaks more and more clearly.

Brigitta’s gaze toward her stepdaughter was neither cold nor warm.

She didn’t know what to do and couldn’t control her emotions.

“Mom. There is a school art performance today, will you come to see it?』

“Mom. Why didn’t you come today?』

“Mom. There will be a parent visit this week.』

“Mom. This time, sports day-』

“Mom. I have a favor to ask…』

『… Sorry. Mom has work this week.』

“Mom…』

Bridget, who had just become a mother, almost neglected her sister’s daughter.

I didn’t hate her, and we were normal, but there was a line in the relationship.

It was Bridgetta’s fault, but her environment was also the problem.

Because she was leading the guild during a very busy time, she had no peace of mind.

That’s why Leah was cautious every time she asked for something, and her face was dark.

『You didn’t come again…』

『I studied hard too.』

『I got 100 points…』

“Never… I didn’t praise you…』

『Why is mom angry? .』

She didn’t know why her mother was distancing herself from her.

Because she was intelligent, she wanted to know the reason rather than the sadness.

One night like that.

Bridger suddenly hugged Leah, who was sleeping soundly.

“Mom…』

『I drank alcohol… ?』

She said she had been out for a while and her mother came back with a drink.

Anyone could see that she was deeply drunk, and her body was exhausted due to work.

It would normally be stressful for her, but even though Leah was asleep, she accepted her sister.

She must have been in a half-asleep state, and suddenly she started crying and said something she didn’t normally say.

“Sorry… It’s Leah…』

『When I look at you, I think of my dead sister.』

『I don’t want to stay away from her, but when I get close, I think of her and cry.』

『I really look so much like my sister, I really feel like my sister.』

『So, I have to love you, but I’m so scared…』

『Those scum don’t have a single drop of blood…』

『I’m sorry.』

『I’m sorry.』

『I’m sorry, Mom.』

『I’m sorry for having such thoughts towards you…』

Bridget, who was drunk, told Leah what she was thinking.

She may have thought that since she was still in elementary school at the time, she would forget even if she told her.

However, Leah was intelligent and did not miss this information.

『Sister?』

『Why do you think of me when you look at me?』

『Why is Mom sad?』

『Is that why you are staying away from me?』

After that, it took less than a month for her to realize the truth.

That’s right, Brigitta is the master of the Mechanic Guild and Leah is his daughter.

If you capture a guild member and ask anyone, they give out little by little information.

At first, I started with ‘I shouldn’t say this lightly’ and gradually dug into the truth.

『What is this?』

『An old photo of your mother.』

“Uh… It’s very different from now, isn’t it?』

『This is its original appearance. That look right now is imitating my deceased sister.』

『Are you your deceased sister?』

『It was a pity that he passed away. She must be sad enough to go around like that.』

She soon realized that her mother was pretending to be her dead sister.

The photo I saw on the 15th floor was taken at this time, and Leah treasured it.

『If it weren’t for me…』

『I killed him…』

『You have to raise it straight…』

『When I look at the child, I think of other things…』

『It’s not the kid’s fault… Even though I know it’s not…』

『Even though I knew she was my sister’s child… Part of me thinks of those bastards…』

Brigitta was still the same.

Whenever she was drunk, she talked about her older sister.

At this point, she must have been convinced.

『Mom hates me.』

Unwanted child.

She is not even his biological daughter.

Although she is her sister’s daughter, she has the blood of her litter.

At least in Leah’s opinion, Brigitta had no reason to love her.

So she declared it herself first.

『Aunt.』

『Huh?』

『Aunt Brigitta.』

『Leah… You… What does that mean all of a sudden?』

“Are you okay. I know everything now. So you don’t have to hide it anymore.』

『What do you know? What is an aunt again?』

『I heard everything. I heard she went through a lot of trouble because of me?』

『Leah?』

『You don’t have to act like your mom anymore.』

“Ostrich… Hey?』

The emotional rift has reached an impossible level.

Even at this time, it was Leah’s 2nd grade birthday.

It was truly a bombshell statement.

*

The video stopped here.

“…”

“Sister. Stop drinking now.”

“Ha… Haha…”

I was so sarcastic, but I couldn’t answer.

My sister fell to the floor in a daze.

You may have thought you knew quite a bit about Leah, but from the child’s perspective, it’s a completely different story.

Brigitta let out her drunken nonsense. The child, who was supposed to listen with only one ear, intelligently dug up her own lineage.

“My aunt always said, whenever she sees me, she gets sad. She remembers that she killed her mother, so she says no, so she drinks and cries.”

Instead, Leah still spoke clearly about her feelings.

Unlike others, I speak in an adult manner.

“So she tried to get away from her aunt. She said she was sad because of me, so she wanted to quickly grow up and disappear. That’s why she asked me not to see her then.”

“Leah…”

“Auntie, you’ve had a hard time so far, right? You’ve suffered for three more years because of me…”

“Leah…”

“… I’m sorry for being born.”

“Ugh… Ah… Ah… Ahhh!! That’s not it! No! Nooooo!!!”

My sister crawled on the floor at the one word that broke her parents’ hearts.

She cried almost like a child, and Leah also trembled as she looked at her.

She spit out words that cut people’s hearts, and she didn’t know what to do.

“Mister…”

“You’re such a great girl too. How can you make her aunt like that?”

“But… If you’re crying because of me, then there’s no need to be next to you…”

“How many times do I have to tell you that it’s just your opinion, and they’ll understand?”

I ran to my sister.

She crawled on all fours and cried and clung to my feet as I approached her.

“Changgihya… Changgiyaaaaa…! I’ll take care of it… I’ll raise the child like that…!”

“Oh, you know my sister well. Do you know how I felt when I first heard this story?”

“My wife… I’m so sorry… I’m sorry…”

“It’s not something you should apologize to me for.”

He raised her body and pushed it towards Leah.

What had already been started had to be ended now.

“Please don’t hesitate and tell me. Why did you think Leah was like that?”

“I thought you hated me because I wasn’t good at being a mother, because I made a mistake! That’s why I was stuck here… And that’s what I did…!!”

“Then Leah. Why did you say that to me?”

“She had a hard time with my aunt every time she saw me. I thought she hated me because I was an unwanted child and not even her ex’s biological daughter.”

From the child’s perspective, it was the right thing to say.

However.

“No… I mean no…!”

From Brigitta’s perspective, it would be an endless disaster.

As a result of her failure to take care of herself, her child came to this idea.

Her parents must be devastated.

“Leah, please, it’s all wrong! I tried to think of you as my daughter! But I couldn’t! That’s why I neglected you and did something stupid! I’ve never hated you for a single moment!”

“Aunt. You miss me so much that you pretend to be my dead mother.”

“I did this to calm myself down! Because running a guild is so hard! I just followed what my older sister would have done! It was all just to raise you…!”

“But…”

“Your sister didn’t die just because you were born! No matter how stupid she is, she knows that much! So, please don’t say things like she said she was sorry for being born!!”

The older sister, who was on all fours, hugged Leah again.

I vomited my insides out while stroking her body and head several times.

“I’m sorry, Mom. I thought you were strange and couldn’t be with you during the most important time! I should have grown up more, but I neglected you! Furthermore, I made you think like this when you were still young…!”

“… Mom.”

“I should have told you sooner! While I was drunk and talking nonsense, I should have told you when I was sober that even though she was my sister’s daughter, she was my daughter! You didn’t have to worry about that! So the day before she disappeared… I was going to tell you…!”〈 Br〉

“You mean on your birthday?”

“That’s right. Of course, it disappeared then…!?”

My sister explained.

When I finished climbing the tower and was heading to my daughter, I heard a warning notice.

He said he later regretted the disappearance of Leah.

“You called me aunt because it was your birthday! So this time, I tried to pick on you!”

“Are you trying to surprise me?”

“That’s right… I tried to solve the misunderstanding by saying something on a special day, but he disappeared without a chance to say anything…! When I finally came back, I was left with such foolish worries!!”

“Was this such a stupid worry?”

“You don’t have to worry about that! If you were angry, you could have cursed at your mom and scolded her! If you had done that, you would have come to your senses right away! She was complaining about it and me…!”

“But she seemed to be having a hard time as a mother… And she was busy…”

“It was my fault for not making time for myself! It was my fault as a mother for using that as an excuse to distance myself from you! You can scold me for that as much as you want!”

“My biological mother who passed away…”

“Don’t talk about that. If I use her dead sister as an excuse, I’m being trashed. So let’s stop. Please…”

My sister said quietly.

“Please come back home. Mom will try harder. I won’t remind you of that anymore…”

“You’re not angry because of me, are you?”

“How many times do I have to say it… It didn’t happen. It didn’t happen. Furthermore, it didn’t happen. How can I be angry at you!?”

“I see… I see.”

Leah bowed her head.

I told him it was a misunderstanding from the beginning, but he was quite stubborn, so I didn’t believe him until I confronted him like this.

Even now, he looks at me, wondering if this situation is real.

“Uncle.”

“You can’t see me here. Don’t think about me. Go home and talk to your mom.”

“But… Is it okay…?”

“-Okay. Go and whine. Why did you put work before yourself and didn’t come to school? Why was I alone when other people brought their mothers?”

“But… It was a time when Mom was busy…”

“That’s not something you’re considering. No matter what the circumstances, if you can’t do that, it’s right for you to be scolded.”

“Then I only feel sorry for the mother. She’s not even her biological daughter. When she’s so busy… If I even whine…”

I was shocked.

“Did you hear that? He’s like this?”

“I know. Now I know what kind of kid he is…”

He agreed with my words and hugged Leah even more tightly.

“Mom… I’m in pain. Please let me go.”

“No. Don’t let me go. I won’t let you say things like that anymore…”

My sister placed her lips on Leah’s cheek several times.

Of course, there is no way the child could escape from that baptism. I stood there awkwardly and cried a little.

“… I’m sorry for saying that.”

“I’m sorry too, Mom…”

Eventually, the two revealed their true feelings.

Leah listens to Brigitta talk about her drunkenness and what thoughts she had, how her sister felt when Leah rejected her, and she reveals her true feelings with me in the background, until this black and white screen breaks. We divided our time

…

… I’m sure it would have been a good thing, except for me staring blankly at this.

While I felt awkward standing so far away, the time came, and I heard a familiar voice.

『What are you guys doing here!』

『Even the child gets involved!』

『Oh, I’m really going to turn around! Why is it always my role to lag behind!?』

It was Ian’s voice that came in to wake us up.

There is also one nanny here.

While we were laughing and thinking, “What a nice person,” We returned to reality.
