Chapter 1186 – [The Changing World]

A normal person would scream and be surprised, but I endured it with superhuman patience. However, no matter how much I was, I couldn’t stand the shaking of my hands and feet.

The only thing I noticed was Eden or Eve. After calming down for a while, I decided to take stock of the situation.

The girl in front of me is definitely aware. The Ana I know is right. Even if she looks at the soul, she is definitely she is the one I know. But she seems to have no memory.

Hagisa Ana is an ordinary human being, so it is only natural that her memories disappear when she is reincarnated. However, she is not absolute, and she has already regained memories of her previous life through her past life awakening.

“Dad, what’s wrong?”

“No, nothing”

The girl Ana looked at Eve, who seemed about her age, but then she looked at me.

Ana’s eyes met mine. It was a situation that would normally pass by, but rather, Ana continued to look at me.

“Ah, sorry. Have you met someone somewhere before? I’m familiar…”

“……It’s the first time I’ve met a little girl.”

“Is that so?”

Ana tilted her head. She’s cute, but on the other hand, she’s an Ana I don’t know.

She was a married couple, and she can say she doesn’t know that, but she’s not even a childhood friend, so there’s no way she knows her young wife. Moreover, the Ana in front of her is very different from the Ana I know.

The story is a little bit, but first of all, I’m a father-in-law….. No, no, no, I thought I should have a talk with Anane’s father.

“I’m ten years old this year, how old are you?”

“I’m in my 40’s”

“Yes?”

“I am the mother of this child.”

“Yeah?!”

Eve did a Shion cosplay. First of all, Zion is written in the passport, but Eve has no identity yet. If there is a problem later, you can explain it then.

Ana looked disappointed. She thought Eve’s appearance was similar to Shion’s and she’s at the same elementary school level, so she would have thought of becoming her friend, but she had that expectation shattered.

But it’s too early to completely disappoint her. Rather, it was her larger side that met Ana’s expectations, which she hadn’t even thought of.

“Ten years old? Then I’m the older sister?”

“Ah, yes. But that person…”

“I’m Eden!!! I’m 13!!!!”

“You’re 13?!?!”

She is only 3 years older than Ana now. But physically she wasn’t weird even though she was more than 10 years older.

Thanks to that, even Anane’s father, who had not expected this at all, was astonished. She must have been through a lot of prenatal care, but she seems to be shocked that a woman who seems to be an adult was actually her daughter’s age.

“Wait, was the older one your daughter?”

“Yes, she is such a well-fed child that she grew up quickly.”

“Heh heh …… But it’s good that she has a child that Ana can get along with.

We left it like girls and moved to talk to Ana’s father separately.

Eden has a person on his side, but I don’t fully trust him as much as the other side doesn’t trust this side at all. No, even if it’s Ana’s father, that’s a different matter.

And… Ana was originally from the mafia. And the organization she ran was inherited from her father.

You know roughly what I’m talking about, right? I knew it wasn’t a dignified job, but his job is called the mafia.

Well, if he was going to take issue with being the mafia, he wouldn’t have married Ana in the first round. Now, the mafia was just saying that.

“Do you smoke?”

“No, I like to drink, but I don’t smoke.”

“You seem to have formed a good habit. I often think of giving up because I think of Ana, but it didn’t work out the way I thought.”

He took a cigar out of the humidor, a container for storing cigars, removed the cap part with a cutter, and lit it.

Smoke rises as the cigar burns. If you look at the scent of brandy through the tobacco, it looks like a pretty luxurious cigar.

That kind of thing is to put tobacco leaves in the barrel used to age alcohol and let it age while giving it a scent. Is it a show off that you have some money, or is it just a hobby?

However, seeing him smoking a cigar like that reveals the face of a mafia boss. If earlier he was the father of one child, now he is the boss who leads the family.

“Excuse me, what are you doing?”

“I run a small restaurant. It’s not enough to be called a restaurant, but it’s personally satisfying.”

“I see. I’m running a few businesses. Thanks to that, I’m too busy to play with my daughter, even though I’m an ugly father.”

“I often think that way too. In fact, if you want to live comfortably and spend time with your child, there are many ways, but for the child, having a job that the father is proud of is an example and a good thing.”

“……..”

I deliberately chose the word honorable profession and used it, and there was a response. I almost guessed it, but with this, the remaining 1% of the 99% is filled.

“You say you’re a cook. Then do you know Antonio? At the restaurant’s golden table…”

“Oh, he’s my friend”

“It’s an interesting relationship. I know that friend. On our anniversary, we throw a small party at his restaurant.”

What to say It’s an obvious story.

I didn’t bring up Antonio’s story because I’m a cook, but I brought up his story because I had already done some research. I was recommended a hotel by Antonio’s introduction, and I ate at the Golden Table.

I don’t know how far I’ve been researching, but I don’t know if I’m a copycat or about the Hanon family. But you know you have a lot of money. When I moved, I moved by private plane.

“Let’s talk openly, Mr. Worst. You’re no ordinary cook, are you?”

“You’re not an ordinary businessman either.”

“Did you notice?”

“After subduing the employees there, a little bit. In a way, I’m also an expert in that field.”

Let’s look at each other moderately.

To be honest, I don’t want to do anything with power to Ana’s father. You should do it if you need to, but aren’t you still Ana’s guardian this episode?

Besides, the old Ana had less time to feel her fatherhood because her father had died long ago. When she thinks about it, she even more does not raise her hand.

“Whoa…”

He took a sip of his cigar and took a deep breath as he let out the smoke. The thick scent of cigars fills the room.

“Let me introduce myself again. I am Carlo Botticelli, the boss of the Botticelli family. In short, the mafia.”

“I see”

“That one?”

“I’d rather show than talk.”

I took the Raccoon Man headset out of my pocket. Put it on your head and press a button and it clicks!!! And the mask unfolds.

Soon, the entire head is covered with a mask, and the function of the mask modifies the voice. He was smoking a cigar, and when he saw me like that, he dropped the cigar he was biting on.

The fallen cigars covered the expensive carpet on the floor, but that’s not my job. The important thing now is not the cigar or the carpet, but my identity.

“Can this be enough?”

“……..Fake”

“If you think it’s fake, I’m willing to show you my skills.”

“No. I thought he wouldn’t be an ordinary person, but I thought he was an imitation… I was just a little surprised.”

His demeanor became a bit polite. Until now, it felt like looking down from above, but this time the situation has been reversed.

Well, it’s better to do this I get angry when I’m treated like a lower person. Rather, it would be more comfortable and better than that.

“Wouldn’t this prove that there is no evil against each other? I don’t have to harm them, and they can’t do anything to us either.”

“Yes, of course”

“I’m glad the misunderstanding was resolved.”

I can’t change my country if I want to, so I don’t have to worry about a mafia organization, and the other side also needed Ana’s friend, not because there was a specific purpose.

This case is over. You can finish here.

“During the vacation, let’s keep it a secret from each other’s children and have a good time. And let your child play outside a bit.”

“Are you talking about Ana?”

“Quite often, I felt envious eyes on us. I came on a trip, but I was confined to a villa, so isn’t it the child?”

“Ah…….”

What would the child think when he saw people playing well? She just thinks she’s envious.

Ana now doesn’t remember me……. But she still wants her to be as happy as possible. After she had a fun and happy childhood, she hopes to be an adult.

Even if he doesn’t remember me in this episode. Is it natural to want the person you love to be happy?

“I’d like to, but I’m worried about her Ana’s safety.”

“Then wouldn’t it be fine if I stayed by your side while playing with my kids?”

“If you do that, you’ll be the strongest bodyguard… But what do you want?”

“There is nothing”

“……?”

In fact, if there is anything I wish for, it is Ana’s happiness. She just doesn’t say it because it’s obvious that he’ll be more suspicious if she says it.

However, she says that if she doesn’t say anything, she will protect her child without cost, but it can’t help that she has some doubts. It’s because people in high positions don’t trust others.

Even if I’m an imitation, trusting my strength and trusting myself are two different things. So, oil it here.

“As much as your daughter wants to play with my child, so will my child. Originally, the more friends a child has, the better. Isn’t it natural to protect such a daughter’s friends?”

“Hmm……”

“What are you going to do about that? If your daughter’s friend’s safety is in danger, won’t you do anything?”

At my question, he shook his head. He is also the father of a daughter. At least it was natural that he wanted to prevent his daughter from being sad.

If you have a lot of things, you can’t even give me ordinary happiness, so I want to give you more. I would have done everything that I could do materially, but the original child doesn’t grow up like that.

A child eats love and grows up. A child who grows up with a lot of love becomes that much of a great child, and if she doesn’t, she can grow up lacking in many things due to her lack of love.

In that respect, is he really giving Ana a lot of love?

Well, I don’t know yet. We met for the first time today and it’s strange to know.

“Okay. Then, please take care of Ana’s safety while she stays here.”

“Ah, just in case you didn’t know, don’t let others know that I’m a copycat.”

“Is it because of your identity?”

“There are things like that……Sometimes I think it would be better to do that.”

“……?”

Something is about to happen, but not yet. We’ll have to look at that later.

That’s how I was able to finish her story with Ana yes her father and leave her room. And when work was over, I went to the place where the children were playing.

The place where the kids were playing was Ana’s room, but she was like a girl to the point where I wondered if it was the Ana I knew. This is because there were many dolls along with cute and charming decorations.

Apart from Barbie dolls that are common on the market, there are also handmade ball-jointed dolls that look expensive at first glance. Apparently, she spares no money in raising her Ana.

But the child is raised with her love. She’d rather play with her dad than anything like this.

“Does your sister like dolls too?”

“I like combined robots rather than dolls. There is a robot named Adam that Santa gave me before, and it even moves by itself.”

“A moving robot?! Cool!!!!”

“Did you get a present from Santa too?”

“Ah, I also received it every year, but I didn’t receive it as an item. But I don’t regret it.”

“If it’s not an object, it looks like it’s empty like a wish. Well, that might be the case.”

Gifts from Santa Claus are not limited to objects. Give anything you think your child needs, even if it’s not material.

What Eden first asked for was the end of the civil war. It wouldn’t be strange if she said that Ana wanted something else. Besides, I have a few guesses about what she would like in her current situation.

I knocked before entering to let the kids know I was there. The reactions of Eden, Eve, and Jihee are as expected, but Ana looks at me the same way she looked at me earlier.

It was like looking at someone familiar somewhere, even though it was the first person I saw today, it seemed like I could feel the familiarity.

“Dad, are you done talking?”

“Anyway, I got permission from Anna’s father to play with each other while we’re on vacation here.”

“Wow!!! I can have fun!!!!”

I knelt down in front of Ana and leaned over her to meet her gaze. Ana’s small, dense, doll-like appearance comes in from up close.

There was a time when Ana was also this small. Feeling something new is something new.

But if she can send her normal happiness, she should. Because that is the duty of a loved one.

“Ah… Ah, I called them by nicknames from the beginning, but it’s okay, right? Anyway, your father gave you permission to play as much as you like.”

“But Daddy will be worried if we play outside…”

“He’s very strong. So I persuaded your father about it, and he accepted. Okay, I’m going to have lunch and play in the afternoon, but what do you want to do first?”

A child cannot be greedy. In the first place, she is an immature being who does not have the self-control of her adult.

As for Ana, she is a child now, so she must have something she wants to do, but she just can’t express her feelings because she makes many people worry and see the damage.

Within her, her ana hesitated, and then she carefully revealed her own heart.

“Well… Then I want to play at the beach. I want to swim and make sandcastles.”

“Okay then. Shall we eat and go down to the sea to play?”

“If you don’t have a swimsuit, I’ll lend you one. The size should fit roughly.”

Ana’s eyes were filled with disbelief and, on the other hand, great anticipation. It’s harsh that she can’t even go out and play as she pleases when the beautiful emerald beach is right in front of her nose.

So let’s play to our heart’s content. It is best for children to play without any worries.

And it is the adult’s job to create an environment where such children can play to their heart’s content. It is to deal with the things that get in the way, the beings that ruin it, and create an environment in which children will grow up.

Sneaking up, I looked at the big bend in Ana’s life curve, like a roller coaster dive.

The curve was right in front of the nose.
