Chapter 188 – Meeting (2)
Mrs. Lee, whose last name was Nanny, passed the document screening and interview process with a free pass thanks to her name and became the nanny of babies artificially cultured by the government.
She boiled water in a coffee pot and prepared tea utensils and tea leaves. As she drank the brewed beefjeoncha, which costs 50,000 won per 100g, she felt like all the waste from her body and the worries of the world were washed away.
It was a process she could have had an android do, but she had the pleasure of preparing it herself. Lee Yu-mo is old enough to be considered middle-aged even in the 21st century. In the 22nd century, when medical science was advanced, she had firm skin and a decent appearance like a woman in her late 20s, but as she retired and enjoyed life, she gradually began to look like an old person.
-Master. A guest has arrived.
“Really?”
And old people are bound to welcome visits from their grown children. Although her children are not the only people who come to visit for no reason, she was not treated as a guest because she had written to kick out those who were uncomfortable.
“Who is it?”
-This is a person registered in the data. Streamer Hawaii. The chosen hunter of the constellation ‘Mad Man’. I am one of the few hunters who has officially conquered the 10th floor.
“It’s Harin!”
Lee Yu-mo consistently watched streamer Hawaii’s broadcasts.
It wasn’t because she liked Internet broadcasts. Among the children she raised, she was one of the most affectionate children in the first group, so she was worried and took care of her.
She was especially worried these days. She ended the broadcast by saying she was going to conquer the boss on the 10th floor, and her child came to visit her house one day later.
‘Are you worried about something?’
Harin is a child with a soft heart. Her nanny, worried about her, welcomed her guest.
“Nanny!”
“Harin.”
The nanny smiled the kind smile she had acquired while raising her children. This smile, which appealed to both young and old, disarmed Eve.
“Yumo!”
Hawaii hugged the nanny tightly. Because she was a tall woman, she was positioned like a man.
The nanny patted her grown daughter on the back and waited for her to calm down.
“So what’s going on? It’s not because you want to see my face.”
The nurse asked Eve as she gave her share of tea.
“Oh, I came because I wanted to see the nanny.”
“You come here often and say things like that.”
“Still, I contacted you every holiday and sent you gifts. Is there anyone who does that as well as I do?”
“The kids who come often come once a month, but our Harin is not rare either.”
“Once a month? Who on earth comes like that?”
“Xx and oo. They are getting married and bringing a child.”
“Really? Are they married?”
Eve chatted excitedly, forgetting the purpose of her visit. It was worth gossiping about the marriage of friends who grew up in the same orphanage.
In the midst of her commotion, Eve belatedly remembered her original purpose.
“But…”
“So, aren’t you married? Are you meeting any men? Are you deliberately not meeting Hunters because they are too dangerous?”
“Ah! Nanny!”
Hawaii slammed the table. She lost her shape as she hurriedly snatched up the teacup from falling.
“You know! I have no intention of dating anyone other than Yohan!”
“Oh my god?”
The nanny laughed mischievously. No matter how old you are, making fun of people is always fun.
“So you came? I have news to tell you, and I was wondering if Yohan might be the one.”
“Well, that’s not it…”
“No?”
“It’s not like it’s not…”
“But what should I do with this? I have some bad news to tell you.”
Lee Yu-mo is wondering what to say so that her daughter will be less sad. Android has arrived.
-A guest has arrived.
“Really? Who are you?”
“Search. Kim Yohan. Her wife came too.”
“!!!”
Eve opened her mouth. It was really sad to see her gesticulating without making a sound.
“Well…”
Lee Mo, who looked at Eve with pity, gave an order to her android.
“Bring her. Let Eve prepare her heart.”
“Ah…”
Eve, who was in great shock, could not hear her nanny’s words. John visited with her wife. She is John’s wife. Are you married? She promised to marry me when she grew up, but did she get married?
Eve, who was struggling with her thoughts about her wife and marriage, saw a man and woman coming in.
John was slightly surprised to see her Eve. As soon as she saw her familiar face, she couldn’t help but scream.
“Crazy person!”
“Like that.”
The nurse comforted Eve.
“No matter how much your first love is broken. “What a crazy person.”
*
I heard that the day I go is market day. She did not know that today she would see Eve, whom she met yesterday. She immediately called out the name of my constellation and consulted with her guardian as she watched Eve being admonished by her nurse.
“You got caught? What should I do?”
“Isn’t there Gwangma’s talent? Take it away.”
“…”
She looked at Cheonsol with a straight face. Cheonsol shamelessly did not avoid her gaze.
“Are you serious? Do you really think she is not your organ?”
“White lies are one of my specialties. But she showed me her back yesterday, talked to me, and even told me her name, and she even has a relationship with the nanny. It probably won’t work.”
“Why is Gwangma’s sponsor here in the first place? “Didn’t she grow up with you?”
“Puh-ha-ha!”
Even when she was on Earth, she saw a broadcast of Eve, but concluded that she was definitely not her. Maybe the nanny took over from another daycare, or maybe she wasn’t a member of the first generation…
… But Hawaii said on her broadcast that she was a member of the first generation.
“Ha, ha…”
“There seems to be something holding you back. Ha. “First of all, my mother looked at me strangely, so let’s go.”
“Haha…”
A thought she had never thought of took over her head. Hawaii and I are from the same orphanage? As she lowered her head and pondered, the top of her head felt hot, so she raised her head and met Eve’s eyes, which were just as confused as mine.
“Hmm…”
“Uh…”
“Why are they like this? Is it awkward that we haven’t seen each other in a long time? We were partners in elementary school, so why is it so awkward? Please talk comfortably.”
“Yes? “You told me and Eve were partners?”
“Don’t you know that?!”
She asked the nanny, and Eve had a fit. She took a closer look at what she looked like just in case. What was the name of my elementary school friend… And what was her face like…
“Honestly, I don’t remember much because I was so young. “I don’t even remember my middle school partner, let alone elementary school.”
“Ah…”
Eve stumbled, touching her forehead. She then asked back sadly, like a broken woman.
“You really don’t remember? “You saved me from the boys who were bullying me!”
“Is this a story about her being fat, then losing weight and not being recognized?”
“No! “Just like that!”
“Our Harin is as cute and pretty as ever.”
The nanny was a public figure, so it’s not her Cinderella story. Let’s force her brain to work.
“Rolling, rolling, rolling.”
“?”
“Cheonsol. “What are you saying, Yohan?”
“John says strange things quite often. It’s okay to ignore it.”
“It was definitely not this kind of kid. Did I raise him wrong?”
A buried memory of hers was unearthed. When she was in the first grade of elementary school, she was in the same class as the other children at the orphanage, so she often moved around with them, but she must have been closer because she spent more time together.
So we kept hanging out, and some guys started arguing, asking, ‘Are you guys dating?’ If I beat up in public, I would get scolded by the teacher and the nanny, so I remember beating in a quiet place behind the school.
Was Eve there too?
“I remembered. Behind the school…”
“… Separate recycling station! My seniors were bullying me, and you showed up and saved me!”
“Hmm…”
It wasn’t this memory.
“It was really cool back then.”
“But why don’t I remember you?”
“When we were in middle school, some kids were moved to another daycare center. I was mixed in there. I was going to confess before leaving, but you went to the capsule room and didn’t come…”
I figured out what happened. It’s the story of a childhood friend who secretly developed love and tried to confess it before moving, but couldn’t get the timing right.
These cows are often featured in romantic comedies.
“… But I never thought you would get married.”
“There are kids too. They were cute kids named Ranran and Avni. “Didn’t you come together today?”
“I came to Korea to also go on a date with my wife.”
“I see.”
Unlike the nanny who passed over warmly, Eve’s eyes were as shiny as a bird of prey.
“Do you have any kids? No. It’s not something to talk about now. First… Didn’t we see each other yesterday?”
“Hmm… I don’t know.”
“You even said it in full. That’s why I came to see the nanny. The nanny knew your last name… Anyway, I thought you knew that. But it seems like you don’t know.”
“What do you mean?”
The nanny couldn’t keep up with her story. I was about to leave, but stopped because I thought there was no need to lie.
The nanny is not someone you can go talk to. Although she and Eve are streamers, no one will believe her if she says, ‘Actually, my constellation was my childhood friend.’
Sophia also told us to keep it a secret until the sponsor was able to climb properly. She did not give any instructions to keep it secret at all.
If people knew that humans had become constellations, talented people could come to the tower and become high-quality servants, dreaming of becoming the second John.
The reason for not disclosing the facts in the beginning is because there is enough influx. It is said that it is effective if you open it when interest has cooled.
“Gwangma.”
Cheonsol poked her side. Thanks to her, she was determined.
“Actually, I am a constellation.”
