Chapter 230 – Humans and Elves (7)
“You’re bringing such a cute child now!”
Her grandmother elf smiled broadly and hugged her Ebring. Ebring, who was held in the arms of his grandmother, who seemed to be no older than his mother, was embarrassed and struggled.
“Is it me? Is it me?”
“Have you got any teeth yet?”
“Yes. It’s cute, right?”
“You look just like our eldest daughter when she was young! You were so cute even though you had to pronounce words wrong for a few years.”
“Ebring. If you move, it’ll be hard for grandma to hug you, so stay still.”
“Yes!”
Ebring answered, pursing her little mouth. Her grandmother, the elf, seemed on the verge of happiness.
“His name was Evering, right? He’s the cutest child I’ve ever seen in my life!”
“Grandma…!”
Avril, who was watching, had tears in her eyes.
“Once they said I was the cutest in the universe…”
“Evril is all grown up now, and she is the prettiest girl in the universe. Is this girl Evril?”
“That’s right…”
“You’re calm and composed, so you’re beautiful. I guess the bastards won’t target you.”
Love for Avni. Her grandmother the elf glared at me, showing her desperation for her future husband. She somehow seemed more alive than before.
“You are the one who took our eldest daughter and her youngest.”
“Yes. That’s me.”
“Where are you talking back to me?”
I was embarrassed. They invited me and then started making fun of me as soon as I saw them? Did they live hundreds of years longer than humans and become hundreds of times stronger?
If Sophia, Cheonsol, etc. Had come together, there would have been someone who would take my side. Since I am the only human among the elves, I have to survive on my own.
And when I thought about it, my mother-in-law had reason to hate me. The elf who was said to only have one companion in her life chose that one person as her husband, and that was her sister, so how uncomfortable it must have been for her mother-in-law.
“Mother, don’t do that…”
“Who is your mother?”
Ebring cried out as her grandmother elf screamed.
“Grandma… Dad, aren’t you…?”
“Oh, Gugu. I’m sorry. Daddy G. Then Daddy G. I’m sorry her grandmother yelled at me.”
“Dad…”
“This guy is good to you and truly loves your mothers?”
“That’s right. I’ve seen many races in battle, but there’s no minion like my dad.”
“Uhm…”
After being persuaded by her three granddaughters, her grandmother the elf went over. It’s a cheat for the elderly, so it’s only natural. Even if the kids shout, ‘Please marry my dad!’, Wouldn’t she say yes because she doesn’t want to disappoint her granddaughter?
Of course, the grandmother elf with her husband, children, and even her granddaughter was a no-brainer on my part. The universe is wide and there are so many virgins, so there is no reason to do it.
Her grandmother, the elf, who had been talking with her granddaughters for a while, cleared her throat and stood up.
Ebring was still in her arms.
“Hmm! I was worried, but it seems like he’s a better guy than I thought. Welcome to our mansion.”
“I told you. Your brother-in-law is a decent human being.”
“The rumor must have been so sinister.”
“What rumor did you hear?”
Her grandmother, the elf, was writing her pride and then noticed her children and straightened her face. And she thought long and hard.
The worries didn’t end until I passed the courtyard.
-Evrincia! I’m done cleaning! Yo!
-Oh! Is this man that son-in-law? What?
-You’re smarter than you think! Yo!
The spirits who were doing chores such as moving pollen in the courtyard garden, purifying water in the fountain, etc., Saw me and made an uproar.
It appears to be a low-level spirit, the next level up from the mite spirit, and is being treated with respect?
“Aren’t they sacred? They are spirits trained with our family’s vision, so we use honorific terms with them.”
“It only took 300 years.”
Evrande and Evria were excitedly boasting, but I couldn’t sympathize with them at all. Your vision is to just make people use polite language? That also takes 300 years?
“Other families did not succeed. In particular, the Iyo family tried to follow us and the spirits rebelled?”
“That’s… Surprising. As expected, the Ebb family is the most prestigious family.”
I gave a soulless compliment and Evelyncia looked at me more favorably. Is it possible to gain favor with something like this?
If I go comfortably, it’s fine for me.
“The garden is really beautiful. Instead of simply arranging colorful flowers, they created harmony, and the plants are vibrant… It looks like they have been well-maintained, showing the elf’s efforts in taking care of them…”
Brincia’s shoulders rose as she continued to praise the garden. I know who I inherited Evria’s habit of showing off when I receive her compliments.
“I don’t know why a child with this kind of vision got the nickname ‘crazy person.'”
“Uh.”
“Ah.”
“Hmm.”
The three adult elves fell silent at the same time. Only Avni was talking excitedly.
“That’s right… Dad… Kind… Strong… Undefeated… Win it all…”
It’s my first time seeing Avni talk so much. Even when she was praised in the dwarf’s workshop, she didn’t say more than two words.
Her grandmother must be that good. Her grandmothers also like her granddaughter, but her young granddaughters also like her grandmother just as much.
Even though Abni is an adult, she will be even more excited because she saw her grandmother for the first time. Her appearance is similar, so she will be friendly.
While I was watching Avni and Evelyncia excitedly, Avril quietly approached me. Brande, who was holding my hand, gave her space with a whoop.
Chak
“Hmph! Dad looks lonely, so I’m holding his hand.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
“Our Avril has a kind heart. This uncle is not an elf who often cries, but he’s crying strangely.”
Ebrote’s hospitality quickly cooled her happy heart. How many times have I seen that thing dragged out? Are you lying?
“Dad…”
“Abni? Why did you come to her dad instead of talking more with her grandmother?”
“Dad… I like it… Grandma… Praise… Mom… Give in…”
I gave up my seat for her grandmother and her mothers whom I haven’t seen in a long time. I like her better than her grandmother, and she wants to hold her hand too.
I am the luckiest person in the universe to have a daughter who loves her dad like this.
As I walked through the garden holding hands with the elf twins, I saw the main gate of a magnificent three-story mansion. It was an elf-friendly mansion built with wood, not stone.
In front of the mansion is a male elf who looks like he is in deep pain. Next to it, several female elves and male elves who could tell that they were from the Ev family were lined up.
Considering the location, the male elf in the exact center must be my father-in-law. There are more elves than you think.
I expected there to be at most ten people, but at first glance it looked like there were fifty people.
“Is that him?”
“I guess that’s right? This is him.”
“Is it really him? He looks fine? Humans are usually ugly.”
“So, you probably kidnapped two of my nephews. Elves, too, but especially humans, shouldn’t live by eating off their faces.”
“Why did it get that nickname? Shouldn’t there be a nickname similar to Evroté?”
“Well… I’ll have to see…”
Everyone talks harshly when we first meet them. What on earth did you think of me? Did you imagine it as a monster with six arms and three heads?
I feel like if I ask, only I will get hurt, so I shouldn’t ask even if we become close friends.
“Everyone be quiet!”
When the grandfather elf shouted, everyone fell into a panic. Evering, who was in Everincia’s arms, was startled by the loud noise and cried.
“Uh huh! When a child of the Ebb family cries this much… It’s normal to cry. Were you very surprised? I’m sorry grandpa.”
“I have granddaughters, so why are you screaming? I’m very surprised.”
“Are you angry?”
“No? No. Not at all. Why would she be angry at her cute granddaughter? Her grandfather has a really loud voice, huh? So, why don’t you cry and laugh?”
“Yes!”
“Keuhum!”
Grandfather Elf is more of a prankster than Everincia. I heard she can’t steal seeds. She knows who Ebrote looks like.
“Brother-in-law. Why do you look at us like that?”
“The eyes are irreverent.”
“I’m just thankful that they both grew up so pretty and healthy. It’s the luck of my life that I met Evrande and Evria.”
“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? Well, I don’t hate it.”
“Did I tell you that one of your strengths is honesty?”
While she was flirting with Sister Eb, her grandfather Elga took over Ebring. Seeing how familiar she was with her granddaughter, I guess she raised her children with affection.
Her granddaughter, the fool, the grandfather elf, looked at me and clicked her tongue… Then looked at Ebring and closed her eyes for a long time.
“Whoa. Come in.”
“Dad, won’t you hug Ebuni? If you just show her pretty, she will be disappointed.”
“It’s okay…”
“It’s okay as long as the man who hugs you is your dad? Hmm…”
The grandfather elf looked at me disapprovingly. She’s jealous that her daughter likes her dad.
“Abni. Just go and give me a hug.”
“I don’t like it…”
“Just shake my hand. You’re a grandfather.”
“… Yes.”
The grandfather elf who shook Avni’s hand snorted.
“You! No, I should keep quiet. You… I was worried because they said you were a crazy person, but you turned out to be a nicer person than I thought.”
How on earth did the rumor about me spread, so that every elf I see does that? Should I go into the elf community with Avni’s account and search for public opinion?
“Anyway, we’ve prepared a banquet, so come in.”
“Good, Johan. I guess dad approves of you.”
“Not yet!”
“Hi!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Grandpa’s voice was loud again, wasn’t it?”
“No…”
“Who do I resemble to be this thoughtful?”
“He looks like me, my father-in-law.”
Grandpa Elf looked at me like I was crazy. The other elves whispered.
“Indeed. That’s why he’s such a crazy person…”
“I can’t read the mood…”
“If it were me, I would flatter you and say you look like Evcuku.”
“It would be better if you mentioned your aunt.”
Apart from being rude, the elves had a lot to learn. Next time I get a chance, I should flatter my father-in-law and mother-in-law, saying they resemble each other.
