Chapter 349 – Abduction 2. Where Do They Look Alike? (2)
Little Irina ate full for the first time in her life.
She patted her swollen stomach with the palm of her hand and again hung her wooden plaque around her neck. The names ‘Geese Howard’ and ‘Alyssa’ were scrawled on the front and back of her card.
The two left the inn building. The furry Geese looked up with a frown at the sky bathed in the bright morning sun, then started walking slowly. And little Irina, who starts walking side by side with her.
Geese asked, pointing her chin to the name of the plaque on her chest.
“Is that your mother’s name?”
“Yes.”
Having only the name Alyssa means that Irina’s mother also does not know who her father is. Either she is an orphan, or the daughter of a prostitute.
In fact, this kind of case is not common in menstruation in this back alley, so most of it was. That’s why Irina also doesn’t have a last name. … Others claim to be Kish’s daughter, but how does she believe the prostitute’s words?
“Have you been to your mother’s workplace?”
“… Yes.”
“What are you saying there?”
“They don’t know.”
But. She is also leaving her daughter behind, so how would her colleagues at work know?
“Uncle, can you ask me?”
“What?”
“Mom. Let’s go to Mom’s workplace.”
“Crazy. Do you want to order yours to eat too?”
Then, little Irina stares at her fiercely again.
“Uncle, I heard you are a great person! Then you can do that much.”
… Do you see how crazy you are?
“Are you rich? You have to have a lot of money to work for a man!”
Then, she suddenly fumbled in her pocket. Then he took out one of her coins.
It’s a fairy tale
“… Because this is all I have right now. I’ll definitely pay you back next time! When I grow up! I earn a lot of money, so I will definitely pay you back!”
At the same time, she is a little Irina who sticks out a fairy tale to him.
“Here you go.”
The furry Geese, who was looking down at it, immediately grinned. Then she squatted down in front of her and her little boy accepted her offer of a fairy tale.
“I get it. Then, after earning a lot, I will pay you back.”
“Yes!”
“Then let’s look for it together. Instead, if we can’t find it by the end of today, we’ll give up cleanly, okay?”
“Yes!”
So furry Geese teamed up with little Irina for a day.
He first headed to the brothel, where the little mother worked. To be honest, it’s not a good place to bring a child, but in Vermandois, where people have sex on the roadside, what’s the point?
Geese left the child outside for a while, went inside the store alone, and tapped the plate on the counter with the palm of his hand.
“Oh, isn’t that our Mr. Gis?”
A middle-aged madam with a soothing voice.
“What have you been up to since the wind in the morning? You know the kids are off in the morning.”
Brothels are open all night, so of course they usually don’t open in the morning. There’s no way Gis, a brothel regular, doesn’t know such basic common sense.
“I didn’t come here to do it. I have something to ask you.”
“Like what?”
“I heard a woman named Alyssa worked here. I don’t think it’s her pseudonym. Irina has a little daughter of this size. The kid said she’d been here before.”
“I don’t know.”
“You really don’t know?”
“You know, Mr. Geese. When our water traders get bored, people change. Whether the daughter is Irina or the mother’s name is Alyssa, we don’t think about those things while working. I also saw that kid for the first time a while ago. It’s not like fighting one or two prostitutes.”
The furry was convinced at once. He is also not clear about this situation.
We already know that, honestly, it’s almost impossible to find her by her first name alone.
“… That’s right. Okay.”
“Is that the end of the business?”
“Uh. … The next time you come, give us a little more service.”
“How much do you do to Geese? Let’s go-.”
When Geese came out of the store, little Irina was already sleeping, leaning against the wall, probably from hunger.
The furry saw it and gave her a light snort, then lifted her up and carried her on her back. The little girl must have been so tired that she slept without even knowing she was being carried.
Gis carried her on his back and slowly circled her brothel for several laps. And little Irina, who only woke up around noon.
“Did you sleep well? Uncle, I thought you were going to die from the hardships of carrying you on your back.”
“… What about mom?”
“I haven’t found it yet.”
A grumpy kid.
“Where did you live? Let’s go there.”
Gis carried Irina on her back and walked in the direction her fern-like hand pointed.
It is a very shabby tent village where only beggars without money live. However, this place also had a separate owner, so I received a room for rent.
The owner is nowhere to be found. At least there were people who recognized Irina, but they did not know the identity of her mother Alisa. … In the end, the two of them turned away empty-handed.
“How old are you?”
“Seven years old.”
“Have you lived in Vermandois all along?”
“Yes.”
“You and your mother?”
“Yes.”
“You don’t have any brothers?”
“No.”
The two left the back alley and walked along the riverside again.
The sun has already waned for quite some time. … After a while, the sunset will set and night will come.
Geese took her little Irina back to the inn. And after having a hearty dinner, when I came out, the sunset was setting.
“Looks like Mom isn’t here.”
Irina trudged on weakly, with her head bowed and the sign still hanging around her neck.
You can’t see it, but you’re probably holding back her tears with her tears flowing.
The furry Gis took Irina to the cathedral. He made her a special request and allowed her to sleep in her chapel.
“Uncle is going.”
However, little Irina stood at the door with a sad expression on her face without saying anything, and continued to stare at Gis. He looked back at her several times until she disappeared from her sight.
Returning to the hideout, Geese couldn’t sleep because strangely, little Irina lingered in her head. After tossing and turning several times, he finally couldn’t sleep and came to the restaurant to open the bottle.
Aren’t you really my daughter? … Probably not. There is no resemblance anywhere… !
After emptying three bottles of alcohol without being able to get drunk, he eventually fell asleep on the table.
And early the next morning.
As soon as the furry Gis woke up, he wet his face and walked out on the streets at dawn. And Gis went straight to the house of the owner of the tent village he went to with Irina yesterday.
He woke the old man by knocking on the wooden door from the early morning wind.
“I’m sorry. It’s kind of urgent. … I’m going to ask you one question.”
Then, he offers a gold coin to an old man who has not yet been able to take his eyes off his eyes. Of course, the opponent took it without hesitation.
“What?”
“Do you remember the kid who lived here? She’s small, she’s a girl, and her name is Lee Lee. He is a bright and clever kid.”
“… By any chance, the child she was looking for for her mother, is she talking about him?”
“Right. Do you know where his mother is?”
Then the old man’s expression changed a little strangely.
“She’s probably dead. I was sick. Still, he said he would die in a place where he wouldn’t see him, so he left. I don’t know where he went.”
… Ah…
“I ask where her mother is, what will she say? She just said she didn’t know.”
The furry Geese, who has seen and suffered countless deaths… , For some reason, I couldn’t be as resolute as this death.
“… Right. OK.”
Geese turned and walked.
… Soon the sun came up.
I went back and forth to the furry cathedral.
Strangely, he didn’t step down.
There were many orphans in Vermandois. And each one has a sad story.
This time, it’s just a matter of passing it off like that. Where is the child without a mother?
However, Gis was strangely concerned about Irina. He wondered if anything like this had ever happened in his life.
… Maybe it’s because he’s the only child who calls him a father.
At the same time, he sometimes thought that Irina might really be his daughter. The name Geese is widely known, but only a small fraction of the surname Howard is known.
He too was born as the son of a prostitute. He is a child without a father. The surname Howard was of his own making.
In the end, Gis couldn’t go to the cathedral and returned to the hideout.
In fact, he did everything he could. To a child desperately searching for her mother, she couldn’t bear to say that her mother might be dead.
How she must be crying because she misses her mother.
Is she still crying?
Geese went to a restaurant and had a drink.
… It’s not my fault that her mother died. She’s not even my child. I did nothing wrong. The church will take good care of the child. I did enough.
He tried hard to forget her Irina.
– Mom… , The uncle said it might be my dad.
Why did that woman say that?
When she was dying, did she need someone to take care of her own child?
Is that why she was talking about the most successful person in her back alley?
He was so drunk that he fell asleep.
He had a dream
It was his childhood dream.
A prostitute mother, and such a mother’s son.
– My son is sure to grow up to be a big man!
And his mother died of illness before he was ten years old.
Originally the floor was like that. He said that he would not live long because he suffered from so many people.
He cried all month. Like Irina who lost her mother.
Mother.
My mother.
He woke up crying.
And he got up and ran to the cathedral immediately.
At the drop-off point, he saw little Irina still squatting by the door waiting for him.
“Mister!”
“… Sorry. I couldn’t find your mother.”
A grumpy kid. She immediately cried.
Geese couldn’t be there any longer.
“Stay here. But I’ll give you food and a place to sleep. … Uncle will come often.”
Little Irina did not answer and continued to cry.
He couldn’t calm her down and turned away.
On the way back to the hideout, Gis felt like a big sinner.
· · ·
“Older brother. Aren’t you going?”
“… Done. You guys go.”
The new Cory and the alopecia areata Kancho tilted their heads, saying, “Why is my older brother acting like that these days?”
Geese, who was left alone, had another drink at the restaurant.
He couldn’t keep his promise to visit little Irina often for more than a week.
After another three days like that, the furry finally left the hideout and headed for the cathedral.
It’s been such a long time since I’ve come to see you, but I couldn’t help but wonder how Irina was doing.
Still, she must be doing well in the cathedral, right? Church people are kind. They give you food, and you give them a place to sleep. Because here you can’t live like a back alley.
But little Irina was nowhere to be seen. She’s nowhere
Gis frantically searched for Irina. It’s like she’s Irina looking for her mother.
“Irina! Irina-!”
Then he found the believer who cared for her orphans and asked where she was.
“A long time ago, she suddenly disappeared. … Oh, and this was there.”
He opened his desk drawer and handed the item to Geese.
It was crumpled paper.
When Gis opened it, there were two skewed names written on it.
– Alisa
– Geese Howard
… And, a fairy tale.
Ah.
Ah.
Seeing this, he immediately ran out of the cathedral on the spot.
What is the meaning of a cathedral without a mother?
“Irina, Irinaaah—!!”
The furry Geese ran down Irina’s back alleys, shouting her name.
Rain fell drop by drop from the dark clouded sky, which soon turned into a heavy rain.
The sound of raindrops filled the air, and soon people disappeared from the streets.
But Geese ran like his madman in the rain.
“Irina! Irina! Where are you! Irina-!”
Geese ran all over the place like that.
He soon found the child squatting with his knees together in a deep alley next to the carriage stop.
… With the plaque still hanging around his neck.
“Irina!”
Irina is already soaked in the rain.
She looked up at Geith standing in front of her.
“… Mister.”
She cried.
“Mom, I miss you. I miss my mom so much. Uncle, where did mom go? Please find my mom Mom… Mother…”
He got her up and lifted her up.
“Yeah, I got it. Daddy won’t find it Uncle will look for her like her mother. I will stay with her until I find her.”
Irina cried.
Geese also cried.
“I’m sorry, Uncle. Uncle, I’m sorry I left you. I’m sorry, dear.”
The two continued to cry while hugging each other.
It rained continuously for a long time.
… And little Irina, who came to the hideout with Gis, suffered for two days. Looking for my mother
“Sweet Lord.”
“Ah, yes, Geese. I heard a lot about it.”
“Haha, that’s a little bit like that.”
The furry Geese scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.
“So, can I live with you?”
“That’s it, there’s nothing you can’t do. … By the way, why did the wind suddenly blow?”
“She’s my daughter, shouldn’t I raise her?”
Then, Allen’s expression strangely changed.
“Is this really your daughter? There was no resemblance.”
Haha, Geese laughs out loud.
“Your toes look exactly like mine. … That’s right my daughter. That’s for sure, my lord.”
“… Right.”
Allen smiled happily.
“Did you find the mother?”
Geese’s expression became hazy.
“You have to keep looking. … Even if it takes a lifetime.”
Neither she nor she,
Her mother will never be forgotten.
