Chapter 30 – Mom Is Angry (2)
I tried calling Lilith several times on the way home, but she never answered.
It was the same with text messages.
Actually, I thought I would be upset if I kept texting and calling without even contacting me if I was late.
But I couldn’t just sit there and call, so I tried calling several more times, but there was no answer, so it was no use.
I was shaking my legs nervously, but then changed my mind.
Good.
Change the strategy
I quickly searched for ways to comfort my upset mother in the search bar.
Since I had lived my whole life without knowing her mother’s face, I had no idea how to reconcile with her mother.
Therefore, I needed help from intellectuals who, unlike me, had a passion for it.
[Did you fight with your mother? [How to reconcile with your mother]
The title of the post that came up at the top when I searched.
It was exactly what I wanted. With a quick touch, content appeared on the screen.
[Everyone~ You had a fight with your mother. You can’t do that. We should not fight and live in peace~ But people have days like that too, right? Then, today, we will learn about the time of consolation and how to reconcile with our mother through photos.]
Something was strange.
I felt something was strange when I saw the content starting with a picture of a baby scribbling on the wall saying it was her baby, but she looked down as if grasping at a straw.
[I fight with my mother often. I don’t know if it was because of puberty or whatever…]
The content that followed was something about puberty that had absolutely nothing to do with me, and there was a picture of a woman irritably pointing a finger.
Fuck, puberty?
Not only was I not old enough to go through puberty, I had never even experienced puberty in the first place. Even through puberty, you have to have the strength to rub it all together. There was no way an orphaned cub would have gone through puberty just to be able to handle it.
Well, as I am also a human being, it is not that I went through some very turbulent and emotional times as a child, but thanks to physical therapy at a shitty orphanage, I got better early without even seeing the signs of puberty, so puberty disappeared from my life.
They say a lot of bad news is usually created at that time, so am I actually lucky that I didn’t have anything like that?
Anyway, I had never gone through puberty and it wasn’t what I wanted so I quickly touched the screen and brought it down again.
[There were times when she raised her voice because of her mother’s nagging, and there were times when she regretted it~?]
Have you ever been nagged by Lilith?
When I saw that written down along with a picture of a baby covering her ears and not knowing whether she was screaming or swearing at her, I thought about it carefully.
No, I don’t think I’ve ever been nagged.
There was a time when I was hit on the top of my head with double insults rather than nagging.
I also received my goddaughter.
No, not this one.
Anyway, Lilith never nagged me. Lilith came first with her fists and feet rather than her mouth.
Anyway, this is not it either.
When I scrolled down the screen again, the main point finally began to come out.
[How to relieve your mother’s anger, first~! Send a light note or letter!]
Letter…?
Note…?
I wasn’t even looking at the text message, let alone the phone call, but I went downstairs again when I saw him sending me a freezing message and a letter.
[Second~! Cooking food that mom likes!]
What did Lilith like?
It seemed like everyone ate well.
Lilith ate everything well, including the luxurious food I ate at the restaurant run by the elf chef that Lilith took me to, and the rice I ate that was full of bean sprouts.
Besides that, Lilith enjoyed eating the food I prepared, saying it was delicious without saying anything.
I would complain if there was only grass as a side dish, but it was tasty enough to be eaten mixed with red pepper paste, and I wasn’t picky about my taste buds.
Cooking…
It didn’t seem like a bad idea, but it didn’t seem like it would be of much use now.
Because I didn’t have time to cook or sleep.
I pushed the screen down again.
[Third time~! Give your mother a gift or allowance that she likes!]
Give Lilith a gift…? No, rather than that, I should give Lilith some pocket money…?
I only owe Lilith 3 billion won?
Wouldn’t it be more important to pay off debt first than pocket money? In the first place, it was a release with so much wealth that it was hard for me to even imagine.
Lilith, who not only had wealth but also sat in the position of general manager of a world government agency, albeit an unofficial one, had her own power and status, unlike the other twenty-two heroes who had all retired and gone into hiding.
A gift or pocket money to Lilith like that.
What on earth can I do to my little girl…?
Well, I know that when it comes to gifts, sincerity is more important than value.
You don’t have time to put in that much effort.
…I don’t think this is the right answer, Hanzo.
There was nothing more to see so I just closed the window.
What should I do…
These were probably written by intellectuals who, unlike me, had a love for them, but when I looked at the notes they had written, they had no love for me compared to the loveless person I was.
No, actually, is this the right answer that only people who have real mothers can think of?
Anyway, the information I got here didn’t seem to have anything to do with me now.
What should I really do now…
After thinking about it, I changed the question I wrote in the search box.
And when I saw what came to mind, I glanced over it and nodded.
I thought this was much better.
[10 ways to soothe your upset girlfriend]
I quickly started reading the article with that title.
When I opened the door and went inside, the room was dark.
It didn’t feel good from the start.
Once you turn on the light, you can see Lilith’s shoes. For some reason, I let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it doesn’t look like he went to his house or anything.
If I had done that, I would have been really screwed.
That’s because I had no idea where Lilith lived.
…No, not only that, I didn’t know much about Lilith.
One of the twenty-two heroes.
The general manager of an unofficial organization of the world government called the Interspecies Support Center.
She is incredibly beautiful, has a lot of money, is strong, and has big breasts…
It was just something that everyone else knew.
“…”
With the help of an intellectual, I stared at the cake I bought from a nearby bakery before coming home. I don’t even know if Lilith likes sweets, but was it really a good idea to buy something like this?
I also bought a bunch of beer that I know Lilith likes.
Cake and beer.
Is this really correct?
I couldn’t figure it out.
I didn’t know, but now I couldn’t run away.
Taking off her shoes, she went inside.
There was no pretense of popularity.
I should have already heard that I came in, but unlike usual, I felt sick to my stomach when I saw Lilith showing no signs of coming out.
Then, I could see the food on the table.
Did you say you ordered delivery?
When I saw the food in its unopened packaging, I walked on in silence.
Smart.
I knocked on the door.
It’s my room.
It was a little strange that I had to knock, but after that incident, I got into the habit of knocking first when entering Lilith’s room, so I couldn’t help it.
“I’m here, mother.”
There was no answer.
I feel sore and frustrated.
My heart was pounding, my heart was racing.
What is it, arrhythmia?
Since I had to overexert myself today, I didn’t even know that something was wrong with my health.
“…Can I come in?”
After asking that question, I waited for Lilith’s answer.
There was no answer.
“…Am I going in? Since I said it, don’t get angry because I went in on my own, right? “No, it’s my room to begin with. What are you doing?”
Out of frustration, I grabbed the doorknob and made strange noises.
And opened it.
There was a release.
A dark room.
Lilith was looking at me, hugging her knees.
Even though it was dark, I could clearly see the bright red eyes.
“…It’s a surprise.”
Not gonna lie, I was really surprised.
As soon as I opened the door, the only thing I saw was two glowing red eyes. Some people would have been surprised.
“Why are you not even turning on the lights? “I’ll turn on the lights first…”
“…Don’t turn it on.”
Lilith said that to me as I was about to turn on the light.
“If you do, I really won’t forgive you. “Don’t even approach there.”
“…Yes yes. “Then I will.”
At Lilith’s words, I decided to just do it.
Because, where I saw it, it was written to listen carefully. No, I don’t think that was what he meant.
But there was no reason to get more angry by telling me not to do it.
For a while like that.
Inside the dark room, I looked at Lilith.
As I gradually got used to the darkness, I could vaguely see Lilith.
Also.
I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth.
“…”
As I swallowed my words like that, my chest, which was already tight, felt even more suffocating.
The reason Lilith said not to turn on the lights.
Now that I know the reason, I just stood there like a pumice stone.
“…Why didn’t you reply? “Why aren’t you answering the phone again?”
Lilith asked while looking at me.
I told you not to make excuses.
Refrain from apologizing.
So what?
Isn’t this fucking difficult?
If I do this, I can be forgiven? Really? Does this make sense?
But, fuck.
But it’s not like I have any other way, so I decided to be honest.
“I wasn’t able to hear you because I was sleeping.”
“…”
“…”
Silence fell.
I felt Lilith’s gaze as she was staring at me change into something completely absurd.
“Now, you said you slept… So you want me to believe that…?”
“It’s true…”
This wasn’t really a lie or an excuse, it was the truth, so I felt a bit unfair if I didn’t believe it.
Silence fell again.
This time, the silence had a slightly different atmosphere.
What can I say, I felt like Lilith’s momentum had changed a lot compared to the beginning.
“Oh yeah. I was stuck with that goat bitch… I didn’t even notice the passage of time. To the point where he forgot to tell me he was going to contact me and just fell asleep. I thought Hoa Lan, that fox bitch had done something, but it looks like she was a goat bitch. Hmm, yes. I see.”
But even for a moment, the harsh and heavy atmosphere came over me again.
…Should I say this too?
Because I told you not to lie?
No, is this really true?
There was an internal conflict for a moment, but I decided to just go ahead with it anyway.
“Actually, I didn’t stay with her for very long. That is…”
I told Lilith the truth.
I forgot and without even thinking about it, I opened the door where the satyr was kept, and the satyr bitch attacked me. I managed to escape, but when I heard the growling sound from the bitch’s stomach, I decided to just give it a try, but fuck it. It just so happened that it ended up being five times.
What’s more, after that, I was sucked by Aileya and eventually stretched out and fell asleep.
Lilith, who had been silently listening to my story, closed her eyes.
“Whoa…”
After letting out a sigh, Lilith opened her eyes again and her red eyes looked at me.
“Hey.”
“Yes.”
“Are you an asshole?”
I had nothing to say when Lilith asked that question.
“…Stay out for a moment.”
Lilith looked at me standing still without saying anything in response to Lilith’s words, and suddenly said that.
Since I already knew the reason, I just left the room without saying anything.
Then he squatted down and expressed his gratitude to the unknown intellectual.
Lilith’s anger really went away because she did as she was told.
Monga…
It’s not like I don’t feel like my reputation has been tarnished. What’s so important about that?
All that mattered was that Lilith let go of her anger.
“Ha, really… I’m so dumbfounded…”
Soon, Lilith opened the door and came out, muttering that and scratching her head. Then, when she saw me crouching down, she kicked my butt with her foot.
It didn’t hurt.
Lilith said, looking at me pretending to be sick for no reason.
“You bastard. “I’m making you worry for no reason.”
Seeing Lilith now relieved of her anger, I realized that I no longer had to do as he said.
“Sorry.”
“…It’s okay. What is it all about?”
I answered Lilith, who asked while looking at the cake box and beer bag I was holding.
“Um… By any chance, mother. “Do you like sweets?”
Fortunately, Lilith loved sweets.
