Chapter 381 – The Honorable One of Chaos.

“Can you pass this on to Maria?”
“All right.”

After that day, the boy took on various chores at the theater company. It was a job entrusted to him by a man who said he was the owner of the troupe who had listened to his request. At first, it was all about managing things to keep them from getting dusty, delivering words or delivering goods instead of people, but there were no complaints.

“My son! What else did you bring today?”
“Adenium perfume and a letter today.”

Most of the boy’s errands were mainly to deliver gifts or letters to his mother. At first, he doubted what the man who had entrusted him with this job was thinking, but as he worked, he realized that there were so many letters and gifts sent to his mother that it wouldn’t be strange to have him as a personal errand boy.

“Really? This perfume seems to be in vogue these days.”

The mother smiled happily and troubledly, but the boy knew that it was actually a little different.

‘What do you like best?’

Her people who let him run her errands would sometimes ask what she liked.

‘Yes, the son of Mary? Aren’t you familiar with it?’

The boy didn’t want to answer, but he couldn’t help it because the man and his mother had asked him to answer questions especially well when running errands. In the boy’s memory, the gift his mother was most delighted with was Adenium perfume, so he replied as it was. Among the gifts sent to her, that perfume became the most common.

-Taktak!
“Hmm~ After all, smelling this scent makes me feel at ease.”

Mother checked her wrist with the perfume she had just received and put on a relaxed expression.

“Would you like to take care of our son?”
“Ugh, it’s okay because I’m in charge here too.”
“Gigkick, yes, you’ve always hated perfume.”

In fact, it wasn’t that I disliked the smell of Adenium perfume. It was the perfume she had been wearing since he was very young, and the smell was extremely familiar and familiar to the boy. It was only when it was subtly sprayed that if her mother lost control of her even slightly, the boy would refuse to hug her mother and run away from her mischievous look on her face.

“Is it still good time?”

Then she took out several of her things from her little box.

“Tada! What does this look like?”

What she took out were bunches of grapes with the grains on them and things that looked like dried up bread. Grapes were a little expensive, but they grew well anywhere in Parz, so it was easy to see them, but it was the first time I’d seen anything like dry bread.

“Try it!”
“But this is a gift for my mother…”
“If the son doesn’t eat, the mother won’t eat either?”

At her pick, he eventually picked up a piece of bread. As it looked, the bread-like thing was very light, and when I took it to my nose and sniffed it, it smelled sweet, so I ate it! With a crackling sound, the sweetness spread throughout the mouth. She looked at her mother with surprised eyes.

“Cook-Cook, it’s a cookie. She’s what my mother ate a lot in the past.”

Seeing her smiling, saying that she wanted to feed him once, the boy lowered his head and ate the cookie, feeling that tears were about to spill out. In this way, even while he was working, he would meet her mother and she would take a break for a while.

“Maria! It’s starting soon!”
“Looks like it’s my turn now. Should I take a little more rest and always work carefully?”
“…Yes.”

The boy nodded her head and saw her off as she left the room. In fact, she didn’t think he liked working in the theater from the beginning.

“No.”

That was what her mother said the day he asked the man, about working at a theater company. When her boy flinched at the resolute voice that permeated even her sharpness, the man who had come looking for him spoke to her.

“What’s wrong? Maria. Usually when you’re that age, you go to work. Isn’t that bad?”

The boy still didn’t like him, but he was helping him now. Still, her mother glared at him ferociously.

“You’re saying that because I’m not enough, you’re going to make my son do that too?”
“No, isn’t that the story?”
“If that’s not the case, then what?!”

She expressed her disapproval of his work more than she thought. Her mother’s gaze was sharp as she glared at him, enough to sense her hostility.

“He’s still young!”
“You’re young! Isn’t that the time when all the other kids are already working? Don’t you think it’s rather late?”

Eventually, hearing their voices getting louder and louder, the boy thought that he wasn’t asking him to work, but he still wanted to work, so he only listened to their voices.

“But no.”

This time it was clear that she was talking to him, so when she looked up, her mother was looking down at him with her hard expression and cold eyes.

“I haven’t even graduated from school yet! I’m always praised by my teachers for doing well in my studies, so I’m giving up school?!”

She looked up at the man with her keen eyes.

“Haha, the school? The one on the outskirts? After graduating from that place, are you going to make it an assistant?”

The man sighed like a man and said that such things could be taught sufficiently even in a theater company, but the mother seldom yielded.

“Who knows that you learn that way? No teacher or school guarantees you like a school diploma!”

Among them, who kept raising his voice, the boy couldn’t stand the pressure any longer, so he spurred his seat and ran out.

“Hey!!”

He heard his mother’s voice calling him from behind, but he couldn’t stop. He didn’t know why he was doing this, but he was wrong. Why is my mother so obsessed with school? Why is she trying to push him into such a place? Why don’t they recognize the desire to lift a little of your burden? How long did you run and run?

“Fuck! Coke!”

He was out of breath and eventually tripped and fell to the floor. He exhaled to catch his rough breath, but his sand got into his mouth and he turned and lay down on his back.

“Haha.”

He was lying in an alley before he knew it. He didn’t know where it was, but he thought it might be good. Because he can’t do anything, he is only a burden to his mother after all. Wouldn’t it be more helpful to disappear like this? He just closed his eyes and just like this, he thought he wished he would disappear.

“Hey! Where are you!? Hey!!”

He shuddered at the familiar voice from afar. It was also his mother’s voice. The boy couldn’t understand why she was looking for him. Wasn’t he obviously just a hindrance? Even with that thought in mind, let’s take a closer look outside the alley without even realizing it.

“!”

He seemed to make eye contact with his mother for a moment, so he hid back in the alley and crouched over him. If she holds her breath as much as she can, with her face buried in her lap, in case she finds herself.

“Ah…”

Surprised by the warm feeling that suddenly embraced the boy without a word, he raised his head and, sure enough, his mother was looking at him with tears in her eyes.

“I’m sorry. Mom really… Didn’t want you to do this.”

The boy didn’t know why she apologized to him.

“Why? I’m just a burden to my mother.”

Can’t do anything I don’t know how to do anything right. So, she just wanted to help her by doing her job a little bit.

“Who said that? My son is the greatest gift for a mother.”

The boy’s thumping and endlessly beating heart finally stopped at those words, and he felt relieved. Is it because of that? I fell asleep in her arms shedding tears because I couldn’t overcome the overflowing energy of sleep. So the boy was finally allowed to work by his mother.

“At that time, I had a hard time persuading you.”
“So it is.”
“Hey, who was it for?”

The boy roughly ignored the man’s words. He didn’t get paid to work for him, but he still didn’t like the man. At least he didn’t show it because of the money, but he still remembered the sight of that night.

Her mother used to tell her to take a break when he came to her room, but he had come to visit the man right after her mother had left her job, because that would make the little errand boy’s pay even smaller.

“It’s done. The gift of the other extreme came by mistake.”

On the outside of the beautifully wrapped box he held out, the name of another woman, Lia, was written on the outside, certainly not his mother’s. What I learned while working in a man’s theater company was that, unlike the theater company, the theater was not owned by him. There were several theatrical companies, and they rented and used the stages in order in order of time.

“If you keep holding these things, you will get into trouble for nothing, so give them to me quickly.”

As proof of that, he saw a gift sent to an actor from another theater company, and his voice was not so pleasing. Even though he was deeply saddened by the appearance, the boy went along the wide corridor to the actors’ waiting room to tell the owner.

“Where was this…”

Since I often went to my mother’s waiting room, I was familiar with the waiting rooms of other actors. Even so, the curtains were drawn even during the day, so the dark hallway was not something I was used to. By the time he finally finds a waiting room with a name tag that matches the name on the gift.

“Haha!”

The boy almost froze at the sound of that voice. That’s because he’d heard something similar before. But the reason he was able to move again was because it wasn’t his mother’s voice. Coincidentally, the voice came from the actor’s waiting room where he had to deliver a gift. When the boy can’t hold back his curiosity and approaches there, the door is open for some reason.

“Huh! Heh!”

Sure enough, there was a woman with her skirt lifted up and crying with a soft voice like the mother of that night, and a man who looked like a catsy, overlapping their bodies and shaking their waists. The moment I stared at the scene through the crack in the door, unable to understand the situation.

“Who are you?”
“Huh…!?”

The boy was startled by the girl’s voice that came with breathing in his ears, so he dropped the present. At least the hallway was covered with a hairy carpet, so whatever was inside would be fine, but that wasn’t the problem.

“Who are you?!”

It wasn’t long before the door he had been peeping on slammed open and his man jumped out.

“Hmm? This.”

However, there was only a gift box in front of him. He even checked the name tag on it, smiled as if he was having fun, and went back into the waiting room holding the present.

“Eup! Ugh!”
“Nyaang! I’ll let you go, so be quiet. You almost got caught.”

The reason the boy went unnoticed by the man was that the girl who was whispering in his ear now carried him away with an incomprehensible force and hid in a corner of the hallway. In the dark hallway there was a small shelf with a candle holder behind which you could hide.
