Chapter 483 – #72. Nanny (2)
In what case can you see the wind most clearly?
If you are an ordinary person, the first thing that comes to your mind is a natural phenomenon called ‘tornado’.
In Korea, it is a rare natural phenomenon, so there are many cases where you do not feel afraid, but if you are swept away by a tornado, it is a natural disaster that humans have no choice but to suffer.
“Are spirits living creatures? Can we communicate?”
“Sure. But they don’t communicate by voice like we do. They have their own special way of communicating.”
“Then it would be impossible for me to have a direct conversation with the spirit.”
“You’re right. The first condition to be able to make a contract with the spirits is someone who understands and knows how to use their special communication. It is such a rare talent.”
Spirits attracted the interest of our children by changing their appearance here and there to see if they liked them.
He recalled the children’s bodies and gently rocked them to the rhythm as if they were sitting in a rocking chair.
“My spirit likes children and often plays with them like that. From now on, that child will protect and play by the children’s side. When it comes to safety, you don’t have to worry at all. The wind itself, the spirit, will never drop the child.”
Actually, I didn’t lift it high, but I couldn’t help but worry when I saw the child floating in the air.
Still, since it’s a spirit, I was thinking to myself that it wouldn’t put the child in danger, but the nanny made sure to pinch that part, so I felt comfortable.
“You sure seem good at playing with children.”
“Nature sometimes shows ruthlessness, but most of the time it is a being that shares many things with us. Spirits are beings born from such nature.”
In other words, there is no way to harm children.
It reassures me that there is no need to worry because it has already been clearly verified through countless experiences.
I asked, puzzled by the familiarity in her words.
“Somehow, you seem used to the explanation. You must have said similar things often.”
“I met a lot of parents who were worried because they had to take care of a child who was a precious being to be protected. Because there are so many different dimensions, there are often worlds like this where this ability doesn’t exist or is rejected. Therefore, it was necessary to convince them that spirits do not harm children.”
In my case, I had seen the existence of spirits positively in novels, so I didn’t have much resistance.
In general, everyone tends to reject rather than accept what they don’t know, and it is said that Sil, who needs the help of spirits to take care of her children, always needed to convince the spirits that they were safe.
“I’m glad you accepted the Spirit generously. No matter how different the language system is, he is not a friend who is unaware of the fact that he is being ostracized. I get hurt and I get sad.”
“There is no reason to reject children saying that they like them so much and that they are the ones who keep them safe.”
Look at it now
I fell in love with how the spirit played with me in a tough (?) Way, and quickly became my best friend without being shy.
As children usually do, things they like or are curious about go into their mouths, but the spirit took the behavior of the children who kept trying to bite him lightly.
Rather, he raised a handkerchief and even showed meticulous ways of wiping the saliva from around the children’s mouths.
“Moreover, the spirits seem to be very good at handling children. Honestly, I think he handles my kids better than I do.”
“That friend really likes children and has a lot of experience helping me raise children.”
“Oh, Jihyun-ah. Don’t eat that We are friends.”
He hurriedly stopped Ji-hyeon, who was trying to crush her spirit.
Next, she introduced Kanna, who was observing Sil closely.
“This is the nanny taking care of Jihyun and Hyuno. Say hello to each other.”
“Hello. This is Kanna.”
“Nice to meet you. Please call me Sil.”
“Please feel free to call me Kanna too.”
Kanna had been told that her thread was from another dimension, so she was very nervous.
She was not like Kanna, considering her Kanna’s personality, who had been a bit of a jerk in the past.
In fact, even before the thread came, she was already so nervous, but when I asked her why she was so nervous, her answer was absurd.
‘It’s an alien!! It’s the first time I’ve seen that alien! Aren’t you surprised, Master?’
When she first heard that, what alien? She tilted her head, but as she pondered her thoughts, she couldn’t help but admit that Kanna was right.
‘Aliens aren’t right. She’s from another dimension.’
However, as Kanna said, she was not new to aliens.
Hasn’t Kanna already eaten food cooked by aliens?
But maybe because she was nervous, she didn’t seem to remember that time at all.
And.
‘I was worried that she might not like it because she’s an alien, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.’
Even if Sil, who came as her nanny, is an alien, Kanna thinks she will be able to adapt quickly.
It was because she was a person no different from us except for the special point of dealing with spirits.
I hired a nanny for no reason, but I didn’t consider many conditions.
It was difficult because he was so heterogeneous that it was difficult to live together.
As if that effort was not in vain, Kanna and her sister-in-law were building a relationship without difficulty.
“Teach me a lot in the future. I heard she has a lot of experience as a nanny. I am not professionally trained, so there are many things I do not know.”
“Yes, I will help where I can.”
Sil, who had already been promised me a reward, gladly accepted Kanna’s request for help.
Kanna held out her hand as if she were happy.
Sil was momentarily taken aback by her outstretched hand, then awkwardly held her hand.
“Is this a greeting from here? Is it right to do this?”
“Ah! That’s right. This is our greeting. I’m holding her hand like this and shaking her lightly. You don’t have to hold her hand tight. Lol. I heard that she came from a different place, but I was worried because she looked no different from us. You speak very well.”
“I will have to learn a lot in the future. I don’t know anything about this culture, so I can make mistakes. Whenever that happens, I want you to point it out and teach me. To avoid misunderstandings.”
“Yes! Okay!”
“And can you give me some information about the children I have to look after?”
“Sure! I will tell you information about the lady and the young ladies.”
Kanna seems to have turned her curiosity about her aliens into her crush on her real self.
When she started talking about the children, she had no part in the conversation between Mr. Sil and Mr. Kanna.
She seemed to have a lot to say, considering how much effort Kanna had been taking care of Ji-hyeon and Hyeon-oh.
While Kanna gave information about her children, her sister brought up a lot of her talk about her own abilities.
“You two are having a conversation. I’ll stay with the kids.”
It was embarrassing to keep listening because it wasn’t a conversation I could intervene in.
In the end, I decided to raise a white flag and avoid the seat.
I thought it would be easier to have a conversation over there if I avoided the seat.
When I came out, the children were bewitched by the spirit and lost their senses.
Crackle!
Kyahaha!
More! Higher!
The brave Jihyun expressed his intention to the spirit that he wanted to fly higher.
However, the spirit gave a new stimulus by allowing the child to move in more diverse directions rather than raising the height.
Looking at it, I could be sure that the spirit was playing with the children’s safety in mind.
“Jihyun-ah, Hyun-oh, are you having fun?”
When I approached the children and asked, Hyeon-oh nodded.
To be honest, floating in the air and moving as I wanted was an experience I wanted to try.
Hyeon-oh was floating freely at a low height like Superman.
“More! More!!”
Perhaps because I came, the spirit lowered Hyeon-oh and Ji-hyeon safely to the floor.
The children went wild when the soft carpet on the floor touched their buttocks.
Ji-hyeon and Hyeon-oh, who could not play satisfactorily, began to express their dissatisfaction with what they could not do more.
“Hmm. The kids seem to be hooked, can you do more?”
I was worried that the spirit wouldn’t understand what I was saying when I said this, but Ji-hyeon and Hyeon-o’s bodies floated up again, as if they had noticed what we wanted.
Jihyeoni and Hyeono, who fell in love with the spirit’s ability, began to struggle to claim possession of the spirit.
Rather than doing that, the spirit was playing fair with both of them, as if surprised.
‘Isn’t Sil-ssi seeing the child, but the spirit?’
Since the spirit is also Sil’s ability, I don’t think it’s not working properly.
Moreover, the spirits played far more diversely and ingeniously than people did, so it was at a level that could not be called anything.
“I don’t know if Hyun comes, but it’s the first time I’ve seen Ji-hyun like that.”
Seeing the children who ate jjinchin with the spirit gives me a sense of pride that I chose a good nanny.
And.
‘Would I look too immature if I asked for it too?’
Watching the children play happily makes me want to do it too. It seems that the saying that a man is a creature that never grows old even after death seems to be true.
♧ ♧ ♧
The most important thing to me was what Jung-hwa thought of Sil.
From now on, Mr. Sil will take care of the twins when they are born, and will be the person who will help Jeong-hwa with postpartum care.
“Oh my, is this the nanny?”
“Yes.”
“Hello.”
Jeong-hwa called her sister-in-law her nanny and slowly shared her voice.
She didn’t judge people hastily and took her time to get to know me calmly, so I needed to act accordingly.
“It’s really amazing to be a spirit.”
Ms. Jeong-hwa expressed a lot of interest in the spirits that her real nanny was dealing with.
As someone with experience, I couldn’t help but know how much spirits can help with parenting.
The real nanny must have also been influenced by Jeong-hwa’s soft and gentle attitude. After living with her for a few days, she soon opened her heart and started having private conversations that she hadn’t shown in front of Kanna.
“Actually, my skills are really insignificant in my hometown. It was difficult to make a living with this ability. Maybe that’s why my parents sent me off as a maid to a nobleman at a young age.”
“Oh my God, you must have been very sad. It’s such a good ability, so why did you do that?”
“Normally, there were many cases in which children without talent went to live as maids in noble families. What I experienced was nothing special.”
“Still, the wounds I received from my family won’t go away.”
“… She grew up living as a maid in an aristocrat’s house, and thanks to her use of spirits to live well, she accidentally got the chance to take care of Mr. Agi. Actually, that was just a chore to help out the nanny.”
“Thanks to that experience, I was able to have the real nanny I am today!”
“Yes, my spirit saved precious Agi-san’s life when she was in danger. As a reward for that time, she was able to earn her money and end her life as a maid. She became a free citizen, but as I was at a loss as to what to do with my life, I thought it might be better to continue my work.”
That’s how the nanny job started.
I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning, but as time passed, I gradually became more proficient, and as my career grew, I gained a reputation of my own.
“I guess I just wanted to show up in front of my parents with success and prove that I was this successful.”
“So how did it go? Did you go and tell your parents? It worked!”
“No. When I was working as a maid, I heard that the area where my parents lived was flooded and the entire family died. Rather, being abandoned was what saved his life.”
“Ah!”
As I listened to her without thinking, I was shocked by her tragic personal history.
“It’s okay. It’s already been a long time ago, and I’m satisfied with my life now. There is probably no one with similar abilities who has been more successful than me.”
Her sister-in-law seemed to be proud of her abilities.
And when she opened the door to her heart by willingly telling her story like this, it seems that Jeong-hwa couldn’t just measure the distance.
“I like Nanny Sil.”
In a space where it was just the two of us, Jeong-hwa quietly conveyed her thoughts.
“Does it look okay?”
“Huh. Sounds like a good hire. People are neat and clean. It can be seen that they genuinely love children. In particular, the existence of spirits was very useful. I’m also in the mood to get one for sale. If I had someone like that by my side, it would have been much easier to raise Joo-ah.”
To be honest, I also wanted to have a child-raising spirit.
However, making a contract with the spirits was a talent only available to a few special beings who could understand and use their language.
It may be a common talent in her hometown, but it is not an ability that we who are different in race or dimension dare to covet.
In this way, Nanny Sil permeated into our family without any major problems.
