Chapter 92 – Episode 92 – “Daughter, Don’t You Want to Have a Stepfather?”

* Episode 92 – “Daughter, don’t you want to have a stepfather?”

A few days have passed since that uproar.

It was an uproar, but in reality it was just two guilds making a fuss, and it didn’t have much of an impact externally.

Even now, each guild is working as usual.

Currently, the work of the 6 major guilds is divided as follows.

-【Maan】 is naturally busy with backlogged work.

-【Bronze Shield】 thins out monsters from the 21st floor to the 29th floor.

-【Vegetation】Seongyeon and Ceres search the black market.

-【Draftist】is working on creating a new map.

-【OP】 was operating as usual.

And the [Mechanic] In question is…

“Hwaaa!!”

Brigitta cried.

It wasn’t a sad cry like last time, but it wasn’t a sound that a parent raising a child could make.

The reason she cried was also absurd.

“Why don’t you act more like a mother than me!!”

I felt deprived when I saw the child’s items recovered from the 15th floor.

“… Is it like that even when my mom is sober?”

“… This is what I want to ask you. Why on earth is that idiot acting like that?”

The inside of the guild leader’s room cried for him to leave, but then he suddenly regained his motivation and cried again.

The woman in the picture must have hated her, but even as she tried to break the frame, she bowed her head and said, “Thank you for raising Leah!” And was beside herself.

“Mom, you’re behind on work. If you’re crying like that, there’s nothing you can do.”

“But I can feel it every time I put away your things! That Eumma did everything that a mother should have done! Every time I recognize this sad fact, my heart aches so much~! Ugh!!”

Even though she said so, her stupid mother moved Leah’s things to her guild leader’s room.

Meanwhile, Changgi, the person who moved the goods, looked down and asked quietly.

“Has the school been decided?”

“Yes. I’m going to go to elementary school here again.”

“Did you have a birthday party?”

“All the guild members came together and did it.”

“What was everyone’s reaction?”

“The men were crying loudly.”

“They are very sensitive people. Well, since they are such people, they will take care of your mother.”

As if something suddenly occurred to me, I searched her item pocket.

“That’s right. Take this.”

“Huh? This-“

“I took it from your desk, but I don’t need it anymore.”

Pink hair tie.

It was something she retrieved from the desk when she infiltrated the elementary school to find Leah.

“Thank you. This was actually a gift from her mom for her first birthday. She was looking for where she went when she moved today and never thought you would have it…”

At those words, Brigitta stood up.

“You still have that!?”

“Yes. I tried to abandon me when I broke up with my mom, but I can’t anymore.”

Then, she tied it into a ponytail using a pink hair tie.

Already, the class president type girl with glasses now has a ponytail.

Unfortunately, the goat horns, evidence of the apprentice’s eumma, were still there, but it was still cute.

“How do you feel?”

“Oh my gosh, it’s so cute. The boys in my class won’t leave this alone~!”

“Really?”

“No kidding, I really think that way. Right, sister? I’m not the only one who thinks that way, right?”

“That’s right! You’ve grown up so beautifully that I feel like I’m going to cry! You’re really hanging out with me! I’m sure you’re just as attracted to guys as we are!”

“The mother who says that is single.”

“That’s what I wore all the time~! Even though I looked like this, I was so popular~!”

“That’s… I know it from my mom’s college days. When I saw men being tricked and being treated like that by the same woman even though they said they didn’t like it-“

“Aaaaah! Don’t say that! You’re not allowed to ask about mom’s past!”

Then she jumped up and hugged Leah.

Leah seemed uncomfortable with her excessive skinship, but she didn’t say it out loud.

“Still, it’s good to see how things turned out well for you both. I was really worried that maybe I was just displeasing you.”

“What are you worried about? It’s all thanks to you, junior. Whether it’s finding the child in one day or protecting Leah. It’s scary to even imagine what would have happened if it weren’t for you.”

“I’m thankful to you too. I really appreciate it.”

“Oh, be shy. Don’t praise me so openly-“

-Tuk.

“… What is this?”

“Here. The diary that Leah wrote for three years. I recovered it.”

“… Uncle?”

“You hid it when we moved earlier. Why? Are you embarrassed to show your mom?”

“Of course! Who shows their diary to others!”

“Hehe. Is your mom a stranger?”

The cute cheeks were swollen.

Such mischievous behavior would normally not be forgiven.

“Why are you giving this to me? It can’t be like this. You’re not good at doing things that Leah doesn’t like.”

Of course, Brigitta was puzzled.

Stealing other people’s diaries is usually a bad thing.

I was about to give it back to Leah, but he stuck out his palm and blocked it.

“Sister. Anyway, even if I ask you to be a parent from now on, I’m not confident that you’ll do well. The diary contains everything you did with your nanny, right? So, at first, let’s follow the things mentioned there one by one, season by season.”

“Ajumma tells her to follow what Eumma did?”

“It’s the opposite. You’re covering up what Eumma did. I’m telling you to build up memories between parents and children and paint it over, so you don’t remember the old days. By the time it’s over, you’ll have accumulated a lot of experience, and you’ll have a sense of what to do, right?”

“Oh, oh! Wow, that’s right~!”

My blue eyes shined, and my whole body became energetic.

There were no proper guidelines, but this was the path for Leah.

“I don’t know how I can learn this from you. And that from someone younger than me who has never raised a child.”

“You will learn from Leah as well, right?”

“No matter what you say, that’s harsh.”

-Is it really that bad?

The Changgi sneered slightly and looked Leah in the eyes.

“And sister. I’m sorry for constantly talking about me being an outsider. Alcohol is prohibited from today.”

“What, why suddenly!?”

“He suddenly gets angry and gets drunk when he gets a little stressed. That’s why he says those things to Leah, you guy.”

“A, but… Alcohol is one of the pleasures of a woman’s life…!”

“What kind of pleasure are you making?”

I must have entered the guild leader’s office after a long time. I searched the room and retrieved the liquor bottle. I stuffed it into the item bag and took everything that was in the small refrigerator.

Then, he lifted the last bottle of liquor like a bat and hit Brigitta’s butt! I hit him.

“Aaaaah! Dude! What are you doing all of a sudden!?”

“It’s corporal punishment after all. Do you really think I’ll just get over this?”

“What kind of corporal punishment! Don’t do this to the lady! No matter how you are, this is sexual harassment!”

“What about sexual harassment? I made a promise to Leah last time. That drunkard would come to his senses if I slapped him on the butt. … Right?”

“That’s right. I told you that before I went here to look for her mother. Uncle Changgi will help her come to her senses, so don’t worry.”

When Leah agreed, she immediately hit her butt with her bottle! Perfect! She knocked twice.

“Aaaaah~!”

Her face turned red with shame, as if she didn’t know that she would be spanked by a younger boy.

“Look at your mom’s reaction. You know that, right? This person is the type of person who listens only when scolded.”

“That’s right. If mom drinks again, she can call the prostitute, right?”

“Our guild is right in front, so feel free to brag about it. Next time, I’ll beat you to it.”

“I like it~!”

“It’s so good! These are my ass!”

She shouted loudly, but even her seeds didn’t work.

Instead, I got hit once more and said, “Aaaaah!” Only after shouting did I put in the last bottle of alcohol.

In the end, it shouldn’t hurt that much because it’s an illness, but I felt like I was hurting for no reason because of the shame.

“I just came to see how the two of you are doing today, so I’ll leave now. Leah, call your uncle to find out what’s going on, okay?”

“Yes. I will call you right away.”

“Why are you calling her junior and not your mom!?”

Brigita also knows the reason why she says that.

Because she is an unreliable mother.

While she was crying and saying that she was from a bean powder family, he left the room and was left alone with her daughter.

“…”

“… Mom?”

“Hey…”

Bridgeta makes a whining sound that is unbecoming of her age.

She knelt down and held Leah in her arms, adjusting her height to her.

“You don’t like Mom, do you?”

“Of course not. Mom doesn’t hate me either, right?”

“Yeah… Why are you asking such an obvious question?”

“Mom says the same thing.”

“… Hehe.”

A stupid mother who immediately feels better even after crying.

Without feeling any shame at her age, she quickly stood up after receiving comfort in her daughter’s arms.

She went back to her seat and looked through Leah’s diary and saw the most recent writing.

“Leah. Did you use this yesterday too?”

“Yes. It’s a habit. I make sure to write it down before I go to bed.”

“Ohhhhh.”

“Why? Did I write something strange?”

“Should I say this is strange? Or should I say this is normal?”

Brigitta read the text.

-A letter of relief that everything went well because I reconciled with my mother.

-The 15th floor was a relief, but she felt more comfortable in a guild where many people knew her.

-Her birthday party was fun, and she is looking forward to school.

-And…

“Oh.”

It was then that she remembered what she had written, and her face scrunched up.

Of course, it’s not Bridgetta who will miss that.

She may have been timid in the past, but now she is a tomboy and a spoiled woman.

“Hehe. My daughter. You wrote something interesting~?”

“Oh mom! Don’t do that~!”

“Where, where… Are you saying, ‘I want a stepdad like Mr. Prostitute’?”

“Mom~!”

She hurriedly tried to take the diary, but she could not defeat Brigitta.

Right after she said, ‘I can’t do anything Leah doesn’t like,’ she was a mother who spoke and acted differently.

“Why are you embarrassed about something like this? You can think that way because my junior was good to you. It’s not shameful at all.”

“But you’re a nuisance to him! Why is he asking me to become a husband like my mother!”

“Look at this guy!? What’s wrong with me? I’ll say it again, because my mom is so popular! I’m so beautiful that I got beaten up by my classmate!”

“That was back then! Now I’m just a drunk woman!”

“Pfft!”

Her mother was also heartbroken by her daughter’s attack.

She ended up having her diary taken away and hitting her forehead on her desk, her heart broken.

“Hey, Leia.”

In that state, she blushed cautiously.

It’s like she doesn’t want to show her face to her daughter.

“Why?”

“Just in case…”

Then he asked carefully.

“What if… The prostitute is your dad… Okay…?”

“Huh.”

She could tell without raising her forehead.

She now sees how coldly her daughter looks at her.

“Mom, do you like Mr. Prostitute?”

“Maybe…”

“If it’s because of me, it’s rude to you.”

“That’s not true… Well, this incident is a bit… Should I say it was a critical incident…”

“Wow, mom. Really.”

“… Do you think it looks cheap?”

“Yes. Excessively. Even though aging has stopped, there is still an age difference.”

“Ugh…”

Then, he slowly raised his head.

Her red-faced face was better described as a woman than as a mother.

“I’m sorry. I guess my mom was the one to blame.”

She tried hard to hide those feelings, but Leah was intelligent.

“But, Mom, you can do whatever you want. I won’t interfere.”

I flinch.

“… Is that okay?”

“I know for sure that it won’t happen because the prostitute has a girlfriend.”

“That’s right.”

I hit my forehead again.

But she didn’t feel like giving up.

‘I’m going to turn. I guess I was just a wall of joy at being held on a leash by a man and being disciplined.’

The part of her buttocks where he had just hit throbbed darkly.

A female who is clearly in heat.

‘What should I do…’

The joy of being reunited with her daughter was short-lived.

This time, she was a bridge girl who was worried about men.
