Chapter 135 – The Abandoned Child ( 2 )
Sore… Sore…
A red-haired girl who fell asleep with a shallow exhalation.
“…”
The man who puts his legs on the girl so that she can lie on her stomach carefully untangles her hair so that she doesn’t wake up.
You can see how much a man values a girl in the part where he takes care not to damage his hair.
‘You must have been very tired…’
He’s a kid who parties all day and cries a lot, but has no physical guidance.
However, the fact that I fell asleep from exhaustion now means that it was mentally very difficult.
‘I can’t help but be surprised.’
Since leaving her funeral home, Hiro has lived only as Cheols’ daughter. And that time was the time to completely erase her original parents and her identity as Baek Hyuk, and her solid identity as ‘Chels’ daughter’ would have been engraved in Hiro.
But, out of nowhere, the head of the Baek family, who had abandoned him, came looking for him to take him back.
“It was something that would happen someday, though.”
Cheols, who knew most of the episodes as unplayed, expected this as well. It only hurts that her daughter was shocked and hurt.
Shuuk-!
At that time, a magic circle is created right in front of where Cheols and Hiro are sitting, and a person appears.
“Main..!”
“Shh.”
“Oops.”
Excitedly, Baekgu, who was about to call Cheols, was startled by Cheols’ hand movements and covered his mouth.
‘Oh! My lady is sleeping..’
Belatedly confirming that Hiro was sleeping, Baek-gu groaned while gesturing.
I had to say something to Cheols, but I couldn’t make a sound because the other owner, Hiro, was sleeping.
“..Just say it quietly.”
“Yeah..!”
In the end, when Cheols said a word, Baekgu quietly approached Cheols.
“Master… Nero fell asleep while playing and put it in the back of the limousine. It was raining outside, so I came to pick up the master and the lady.”
He was Baek-gu who briefly explained the circumstances of his disappearance and the reason for his return.
“Shall I move you right away?”
Since it is raining, Baek-gu asks if he will use teleportation magic to move to the limousine.
‘It’s better because Hiro is sleeping..’
“Wait, is it raining?”
“Yes. Master. It’s suddenly raining heavily!”
‘At the ball.. It’s raining..’
Cheols thought for a while.
“I’ll go first with only Hiro on my back. I’ll go on my own.”
“Except the master?”
If it is his own skill, it is possible to move to Cheols without problems.
‘Why would you do that…’
When Cheols said that he would walk alone even though it was raining outside, Baek-goo looked bewildered.
‘Ah! You thought you would get less motion sickness if you teleported on your back!’
“I see! Master.”
Thinking that Cheols was considerate of Hiro, he carefully carried Hiro on his back with a subtle smile.
“I’ll move very carefully so that the lady doesn’t wake up. Oh! Also, should I give you an umbrella for the master to use?”
Baekgu pulls out a long umbrella next to Cheols with subspace magic.
“Then let’s go…”
“Wait. Take out one more umbrella. A little smaller.”
“One more?”
At Baekgu’s question, Cheols nodded.
=======
Tracking– Tracking—
It rains hard.
The sky feels even darker because it rained at the time when the night was already over.
Chubby… Chubby…
The grass is full of water and is lying down, and the paved stone road is hit by a long stream of rain and drips with water.
“It rains a lot.”
A tall man wearing a long black umbrella raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky.
‘Is it really out there when it’s raining like this?’
There was a connection between Baek Ga-joo’s visit and the rain.
Depending on the choice, a route to connect with a heroine is created or deleted.
‘I can throw away the heroine I don’t like if it’s unpredictable, but… This is the reality.’
A discarded heroine becomes an empty force.
As long as he knew that the existence of the heroine who grew up with him would soon become his shield, he could not ignore it.
Clap… Clap…
Cheols walks around the party hall and toward the lawn.
Jerebuck-
The continuous footsteps soon stop in front of a small garden.
Tracking… Tracking…
There is a small fountain about 10 steps ahead from where Cheols is standing.
“…”
A white-haired girl sitting on a fountain with no water because it is raining.
If he hadn’t been aware of its existence, he would have fainted as soon as he saw it, thinking it was a ghost.
That would be the case, too. The girl sits at the fountain in the midst of the shower without even using an umbrella and bows her head.
‘I thought I came out a little late… Have you been sitting all this time?’
With that thought in mind, Cheols approached the girl holding an unused umbrella.
“What is it? Why are you sitting alone? Write this for now.”
Despite being aware of her opponent’s situation and feeling awkward about acting, Cheols held out her umbrella to the girl.
“…”
But the girl showed no response, like a dead person.
“…Well.”
Cheols pondered for a while.
“Baek Seo-hee.”
She called the girl by name.
“…?”
Only then did the white-haired girl slowly raise her head… Baek Seo-hee.
Her well-groomed bangs are rain-soaked and cling to her face, and the blue eyes seen through the hair are out of focus like those of a doll.
‘The taste is completely gone.’
Baek Seo-hee, who was so confident even in competitions, is the only one who has become like this.
‘Before meeting Hiro, Baek Ga-joo must have said that. I don’t need you anymore.’
Baek Ga-joo told Baek Seo-hee not to come to her ballroom and overtly expressed her interest in Hiro.
You don’t need Now, I will bet everything on Kim Hiro.
– Are you saying I don’t need you anymore?
There was no way Baek Seo-hee, who was quick-witted, would not know the meaning.
– No.. That’s ridiculous..! I..! I can’t be abandoned..!
He had high pride, but it all came from his identity as the heir to the Baek family and the only hope.
– Mom… Don’t abandon me… Mom… I’ll work harder… And do better..!
Baek Seo-hee, who was peeled off as the successor of the Baek family, was a very weak girl. She is so resentful and wants to plead that she has done something wrong, but she is afraid of her mother and cannot speak directly.
‘Baek Seo-hee is similar to the main character Baek Hyuk.’
The conditions of the two are very different.
One was judged to have no ability and was abandoned by the Baekga, and the other was overflowing with ability and even became the successor of the Baekga.
‘..But neither of them were loved by anyone.’
Baek Ga-joo had two children.
One is her eldest daughter Baek Western.
She is a disciple of Maria, the 10 beggar healer, and she inherits the unique traits of the Baekga, and her healing ability is excellent, and she is also talented in her fisting.
‘As the heir to the Baek family, he lacked nothing, but he jumped out…’
– Hey Seo, a little bit of me! Just a little.. I will be traveling for a long time.. How are you doing without unnie? Also, don’t cry because she’s scared of sleeping alone.
– Can I not go? I hate that she doesn’t have a sister…
– Sorry. Hee Seo. Are you going to visit your sister soon? Do it.
Young Baek Seo-hee catches her older sister Baek Seo-hee, who intends to leave for England to become a disciple of her healer.
– It’s a must..! Must come soon! Please!
In the cold-blooded Baek family, her older sister Baek Seo-yang was the only one who gave her affection.
– Yes. I’ll definitely come back to see her sister Seohee!
So the White Sea left for England.
‘..She never came back.’
She thought that she would receive simple instruction on her healing arts, but her talent in the white west caught the eye of the healing guru Maria, and she moved up to the position of a disciple just before passing on everything.
– Baek Seo-hee. From today, you are the successor of the Baek Family.
Since it was unknown how long Baek-seo’s training would last, Baek-seo replaced Baek-seo-hui as her successor.
As much as her older sister, Baek Seo-seo, no, she had more abilities than Baek, Seo-hee, so there was no noise about her successor replacement.
– I have to get to this level today. Because you are the heir of the hundred family.
– Yes.. Mother..
Her successor class for Baek Seo-hee begins.
– Under! If she can’t do this much… If she does this, she won’t be able to become a proper successor.
– Sorry..
– Saying sorry doesn’t change anything. It only exists whether you can succeed or not. Keep in mind.
– …
The times are harsh enough to make you wonder if it is right for a child.
He does not tolerate any failure and does not even allow showing tears.
– Baek Seo-hee. You are the heir of the hundred family. Just think about it.
Unlike when she taught her eldest daughter, Baek Seo-hee, she only tried to inject her everything into Baek Seo-hee, who knows Baek.
She said, ‘Because she’s not his own daughter.’
Within the Baek family, like the first Baek Seo-yang, the second Baek Seo-hee was known as a child born after Baek Ga-ju’s husband impregnated Baek Ga-ju before her husband died.
– If you deliberately mutate, you may gain abilities other than Baekga’s traits. Lord.
– Proceed. Of course you already know, but keep it top secret.
– Yes. I will do it seamlessly.
However, Baek Seo-hee was closer to an artificial lifeform created by cloning only genes, not a child Baek Ga-ju Baek Baek gave birth to.
‘That’s why Baek Seo-hee has a debuff ability in addition to her healing ability.’
At the same time, it was also the reason Baek Baek Ah could treat her Baek Seo-hee like her doll without any hesitation.
However, Baek Seo-hee was not a robot or a doll.
She is definitely a person with emotions.
She said, ‘There’s no way a kid who’s been forcibly instilled with her identity since she was a child can’t grow up.’
As for Baek Seo-hee, as the successor of the Baek family, her mental strength can be said to be very strong, but she has lost her identity as the successor of the Baek family and is no better than a glass ball filled with nothing.
“…”
It breaks so easily by giving up.
– Mother..! Her mom can’t abandon me..! Show me that I can do better..! Then!!
She denies that she was abandoned at first, and she must have rushed to the ballroom, but after realizing her reality forcibly, her ego is so broken that she can’t even feel anything.
Baek Seo-hee’s appearance now was very similar to that of young Baek-hyeok, who was standing in a daze at her funeral.
Although the conditions were different, she reached the same result.
“..Catch a cold.”
..Chelsea wasn’t sorry at all.
She is not an adult gentleman herself.
Rather, she could be said to be more on the evil side.
Even so, what is trying to help Baek Seo-hee now.
‘Because her ability is helpful.’
That was the only reason.
Baek Ga-joo would have thought that Baek Seo-hee would never reach 10th girl and abandoned it.
Baek Seo-hee, who has awakened her body control, which she thought could only be used on a single object, becomes able to use it on thousands and tens of thousands of objects at the same time.
‘With that, I helped Baek Shin-hyeok and stopped the Demon King’s army from advancing indiscriminately across dimensions.’
If she was helpful to Baek Hyuk, isn’t she also helpful to Hiro?
That’s why it’s a loss that can’t be discarded. Baek Seo-hee.
“Wake up, Baek Seo-hee.”
At her command, Baek Seo-hee nodded her head and got up from her seat.
It doesn’t matter who your opponent is.
It was just to give ‘orders’, so it was to act according to the habit built into her body.
“Put an umbrella. Follow me.”
Pak-
Baek Seo-hee opens and uses the umbrella given to Cheols.
“No..”
She’s only holding it on one side, so her shoulders get totally wet.
“He’s become a complete idiot.”
“…”
Even if I tell her that she is an idiot in front of her nose, she doesn’t respond.
Baek Seo-hee’s condition now was similar to that of autism, which closed her mind.
Denied her own identity, she is left with only Baek Seo-hee, her little child who held back her tears when she was very young.
“It’s a shame.”
Cheols clicked her tongue and took away Baek Seo-hee’s umbrella, folded it, and grabbed her arm and began to walk.
No matter how she looked at her, she looked like a bald giant kidnapping an idiot child, but she couldn’t help it because Baek Seo-hee, who couldn’t even use her umbrella properly, would follow her.
‘..Anyway, it wouldn’t be possible to send it to Baekga.’
In the original version of the original poem, Baek Seo-hee did not find any information about Baek Seo-hee returning to the Baek family in the route where Baek Seo-hee did not find Baek Seo-hee, and after that, Baek Seo-hee did not appear.
‘Even in this state, she must be saying that she didn’t return as much as Baekga did..’
If she is not going to be sent to the Baek family, she has no choice but to take Baek Seo-hee elsewhere.
“My house.. Never.”
She has nothing to explain why she brought Baek Seo-hee, and most importantly, she couldn’t see her Hiro well.
Knowing that Hiro has a secret desire for monopoly and a psychology of dependence, Cheols could never take Baek Seo-hee to her house.
‘What did Baek Shin-hyeok do…’
I thought about it quietly.
“I was raised in a dormitory… No, I let them live.”
She stayed with Baek Seo-hee in her own dorm room.
‘Good night. Let’s go to the dormitory.’
Irons turning the direction to the dormitory.
Beep-
Arriving in front of the quiet dormitory building, I open the door with the card key I prepared to meet Hiro and enter.
[ How can I help you? ]
It was night, so no one was there, but the answering machine responded.
“Assignment of private dormitories.”
[ This is a paid system. ]
“It doesn’t matter.. Um, to a nice room.”
[ Yeah. Room setup is complete. Please pay after selecting. ]
Beep-
Cheols, who set the rental period until Baek Seo-hee’s graduation, took the elevator and went up to the assigned room with Baek Seo-hee.
Piri-ri – Put the card key and open the door.
It has everything from neat rooms and beds to private bathrooms.
“Well. With this, I’ll be able to live alone. Even if it’s not as good as the Baekga side, right?”
“…”
She turned around and asked, but Baek Seo-hee stood blankly, she only stared into space, but she did not answer.
Knock… Knock…
It is pitiful to see the water dripping like a mouse caught in the rain.
“I bought extra school uniforms and everyday clothes inside, so go wash and change…”
Cheols, who was about to tell her to go and wash, saw the dazed Baek Seo-hee and let her sigh.
‘Did I pick it up for no reason?’
Even though she picked up the white Seo-hee out of necessity, her head hurts because she has a lot of places to go with her hands, almost like a child.
‘It’s a problem to take a shower right now…’
For Cheols, who was only interested in Hiro, the naked body of other women was as uninteresting as a raw chicken.
“If you need someone to take care of you anyway.
Stubborn.. Wriggling.. Wriggling..
When the gray slime is thrown aside, it swells and takes on a human shape.
“Master.”
Before anyone knew it, Gray Slime became an expressionless woman in a black suit and stood in front of Cheols.
“Here’s the card key.”
“Yes. I will do as you command.”
Since I have already given a backup order to Baek Seo-hee in my head, this dummy human will take care of everything for Baek Seo-hee.
“Then I go.”
Taking care of all the troublesome tasks, Chulsu approached his automatic door without regret and tried to leave the room.
“I’ll wash it. Baek Seo-hee.”
“…”
As soon as Cheols is about to leave, he is a dummy human who undresses Baek Seo-hee to expedite the job.
Jiing–
When the automatic door opens and Cheols’s back disappears into the closing door.
Swoop.
“…”
For the first time, Baek Seo-hee turned her head and stared at Cheols’s back with blank eyes.
