Chapter 220 – Ep.15 – Complex (3)
… On the way back home, only the sound of Eva’s lonely footsteps remained. Some of her demons recognized her and smiled at her, but her dark-clouded girlish heart had no space to accept those innocent smiles.
This bitter reality often comes to us regardless of time or person. Whether it is a human society or a society of demons, those who lack ability are bound to fall behind.
‘Why am I the only one like this?’ ‘
As Eva walked, nervously kicking small stones at her feet, her youthful eyes were already filled with moisture.
Her appearance was so shabby and pitiful that it seemed as if she would burst into tears at any moment. Even if she didn’t look like that, Eva thought of herself as nothing more or less than a rock.
I have no talent,
I have no ability,
She is someone who always walks behind others.
Even if I try to run, I can’t walk as well as others,
An unsightly being with no shining parts.
‘Let’s just stay at home starting tomorrow…’ ‘
Because the women next to her shine so brightly,
Eva, who was just her culprit, could only sob breathlessly.
A sparrow cannot catch up with an eagle, and a lantern cannot beat the moon.
She was helpless. Neither her older sister nor her teacher could match her, and that didn’t mean she had any special looks.
In Eva’s eyes, the women of Delrin were all incredibly beautiful. It seemed as if the world had filled all kinds with blessings for them.
They are the main characters,
Eva is an extra.
“Hey, over there!”
In a way, it was natural that she turned to Delrin as soon as she arrived at her house.
“There’s nothing I can do to help you… ? Del… No, brother… ?”
Eva, clutching the threshold of her door, watched Delrin’s thoughts. She was happy to do chores or chores. She felt like she had to do something to make her feel better.
“Huh!? What!?”
“Apppa, now it’s my turn… Me too! Quickly!”
“Apostle of righteousness! It’s Karen!”
However, raising two children was not an easy task. Delrin was busy playing ‘playing the hero’ with Karen on her back and holding her hand tightly.
The physical strength of the girls, who never tired no matter how much they played with them, was not something a human man could handle, so he used only his mental strength to play with them.
“Guys, Eva is here! Now daddy’s going to rest for a bit, so he can play with her sister… “
“I’m a sucker too! “Bullshit!”
“Did Karin do it before? “I haven’t played much yet!”
Even before he could finish speaking, the twins’ storm-like offensive had reached a terrifying level. He was so active and energetic that he often destroyed the demons’ sound system in the house…
Anyway, Eva saw that Delrin was absorbed in raising children and thought that this might be her own opportunity, so she immediately rushed to the twins and focused their attention.
“Guys! Should I play with my sister from now on? “Dad, he’s very tired today.”
And an angry wink to Delrin.
It is a signal for her to remember the favor she has bestowed, and a shrewd move to increase her own prestige.
“Is it real?”
“Karin is more like a dad… “
Although the twins’ expressions were disapproving, I still couldn’t miss this opportunity. I had to improve my own reputation, even at home.
Of course, they are two very healthy girls who look exactly like Kaede,
It wasn’t clear how much longer Eva could play with Karin and Karen.
————————————
And exactly as expected,
Eva fell to her floor after 2 hours and 38 minutes with dark circles.
“Now… Stop… “
“Hey! Let’s go!”
“Sister, why aren’t you moving! What if the train stops!”
She didn’t have the power to say anything to the kids who were forcing her to play with trains on Eva’s back, waving her ears and tail endlessly, so she ended up just being a rug and feeling the warmth of the floor.
It was not for nothing that Delrin and Kaede took turns taking care of the children. The two girls, who possessed the outstanding physical abilities and voracious curiosity typical of beastmen, were almost a disaster. It was like a devil wearing a cute mask.
“Abba! This girl is no fun… “
Both daughters even wanted to play with their father and not their mother, so they even developed a return instinct to run back to Delin’s side even after playing.
Fortunately, there would be no problem if Kaede, who had good physical strength, could see her children, but unfortunately, the children always wanted Delrin.
“Okay, okay…” Eva, good job. But thanks to you, I slept for about two hours… “
“Now Karen wants to do it in front!”
Delrin had already given up and had to walk around her kitchen with Karen in front of her and Karin on her back.
It may be difficult to understand how annoying the fluttering tail and ears are to him.
“Oh, just leave your ears alone…” “
Due to the honest physical reactions of the daughters who were hugged back and forth, Delrin became very hairy.
Delrin had already been in trouble a few times because of Kaede’s hair, but the shedding of her two growing children was far beyond Kaede’s.
Of course, even if that were the case, Delrin took care of the whining children without even getting annoyed. As the saying goes, they are the children that will not hurt her. Even though Delrin is always exhausted, she never once shows her harsh side.
Her appearance, which fits well with words such as wise mother and good wife and gentle mother, was like an example of an ideal spouse that everyone envied.
“… “
In front of that happy family, Eva lay down for a long time, unable to even raise her head.
The kids tried to show off their cuteness, but he wasn’t in a position to do that anymore, and he wasn’t in a situation where he was loved as he should have been.
Riko doesn’t even look at her Eva because she’s preparing to give birth to her child, and Kaede is a bit lacking, so she’s actually refusing to take Eva’s side…
Where should her heart turn when she wants to hold on to even a single straw?
In the end, the place Eva chose,
Not even her own sister,
She is not the teacher I have had so far,
I was next to Delrin, who was having a hard time comforting her two children.
————————————
That evening,
Eva stood in front of Delrin’s door and lingered for a while.
Inside her door, the gentle voice of her reading a story to her daughters continued for a while, and the sleepy voices of Karin and Karen could also be heard intermittently.
After her children were born, Delrin converted one of her main rooms into a room for herself and her children, and they sleep there all the time.
That way, she can better take care of her two daughters, who rarely leave her father’s side, and she seems to have decided that she will be able to take care of them without difficulty even if she later gives birth to other children.
And one more thing.
Children can become close to each other.
It could be said to be the result of a wise decision that it would be better for each child to grow up together rather than grow up separately in their mother’s room.
“… “
Eva standing in front of the result,
At a time when Karen and Karen’s voices can no longer be heard,
She cleared her throat nervously, thinking that soon Delrin would come through her door.
She had already practiced it several times, so all she had to say was let it out naturally.
“Ugh… ? Eva?”
However, when she met Delrin coming out of the door, her mouth barely dropped.
“What are you doing here? Don’t come near here because the kids are awake… “
I don’t know why.
“I barely put him to sleep. Still, I fell asleep quickly today. I fell asleep even though I only read one book. “How nice it would be to sleep like that every day.”
Eva watched him for a long time as he trudged towards her living room after finishing his hard work of raising children, and tried to open his little mouth.
“Why are you alone today? Everyone is busy? Well, they will have to coordinate with the broadcasting station instead of me and do their own work… “
She opened the refrigerator door, carefully took out a glass of cold water and placed it on the table,
She took a cup and filled all the empty spaces with water,
Slowly,
Yet Delrin desperately quenches her thirst.
“Huh-“
She even saw beads of sweat forming on the back of a man as small as her. The man, whose body was slightly flushed from the warmth of his two daughters and the fluffy blanket, sat down in the kitchen with only one light on and drank water after drink.
“Um, Del… “Oppa Delrin.”
“Why? “Would you like to follow along?”
Eva, who was sitting squirming in the seat next to Delrin, couldn’t even keep her fingers still and kept wiggling them.
For some reason, I feel more mature today,
Anything… I felt an indescribable attraction to Delrin’s calmly beautiful aura.
There were only two. I don’t know what the other women were doing, but at least there were only two of them in the kitchen.
“Ho, do you have time? Would you like to watch a movie together? Or even just a short conversation… “
Eva’s face, which was already bright red, was radiating heat as if it was about to explode. The hand of the small woman, who could not even make eye contact with Delrin, was holding on to Delrin’s hand that was holding her water cup.
“Absoluteness! Absoluteness… It’s not strange! It’s just that my brother seems to be having a hard time these days… If it’s okay with you, I wonder if you could stay with me… “
Eva’s favor was obtained with great difficulty.
For Delrin, who hadn’t seen her women in person for some time, it was an offer she found difficult to refuse.
