Chapter 83 – Episode 83 – A Girl Who Graduates From Human Life and Wants to Become an Eumma.
* Episode 83 – A girl who graduates from being human and wants to become a demon
-Her red hair that reached down to her waist was silky and smooth.
-It was a perfect red with no vermilion mixed in.
-Her freckles were gone, and her white, blue eyes were full of intelligence.
-A red fairy who strays too far from Ginger’s realm.
-At first glance, he looked like he was in the second year of middle school, not the sixth year of elementary school.
‘This is really not Zita’s daughter.’
She said it wasn’t her daughter, but she knew right away even if she didn’t say it.
Because she was a child who seemed to have been designed using only the best genes from her parents.
This is the so-called [Design baby].
‘Is this 6th grade elementary school?’
The suit and glasses she was wearing shrank to become her little teacher.
She looks very polite even when she stands upright.
Only the goat horns that grew on her head did not disappear.
“Your aunt is also very toxic. How did you lure someone like this…?”
She had an expression that reminded me of Ceres.
It was not a good look.
She felt sick to her stomach, thinking that it wasn’t something an elementary school student should make.
“Are you Leah?”
“Yes. Hello, Mr. Prostitute. I am Leah.”
She didn’t even hide it anymore.
The little teacher raised his eyebrows and glared at me.
“Just in case you don’t know, I’ll ask again. You are 12 years old and a 6th grade elementary school student. Are you Brigitta’s daughter Leah?”
“Just in case you don’t know, I’ll put it your way. I’m Leah Bailey, an apprentice, 12 years old, in 6th grade, currently working in the Sunflower class. My biological mother is Sinead Bailey. I don’t know because my genetic father died after impregnating my mother. Just in case you forgot, Brigitta Bailey is not my emoji biological mother.”
‘It’s really awkward to hear your full name.’
Look at how clearly he speaks.
I immediately realized why Ian and Brigitta highly evaluated him.
“Yeah… Well… I’m glad you were there safely. No injuries or anything like that?”
And she answered again
“It’s good except that I sometimes work late at night. The working environment here is good. Unless there’s something unusual like today, I leave work on time and get paid well.”
Ugh, what is this sense of discomfort?
It’s such a strange feeling that a 6th grade elementary school student mentions salary~~!!
“What’s going on?”
“No, no. I’m sorry. Should I hand over the dog?”
“Yes. I’m scared because the dogs keep licking my feet.”
‘They say it’s a dog-‘
When I gestured, he immediately backed away.
There is a lot I want to say, but now is not the time to hesitate in leaving a review.
After.
“It’s not about looking smart, it’s about actually being smart. So you know what he’s going to say to you, right?”
“Shall we pick out a few?”
“Try it.”
“One, why were you hiding your identity? Two, why did you become a demon? Three, let’s talk to your aunt. Which one? Or all three? Please don’t ask me to go back right away, because of course I will refuse.”
“Let’s go back.”
“I don’t like it.”
For the first time, Leah whined like a child.
She sat down in her chair on wheels and spun around, raising her arms and showing her disapproval.
“My sister is worried. I don’t know what’s going on, but please at least call me.”
“Can’t I explain it to you?”
“I’m an outsider, man. At best, you’re a bastard who came here to feel sorry for your sister, so even if you explain it to me, you won’t understand.”
“Ha.”
It’s also strange.
The word ‘runaway’ that I saw in [Kids World] Also tried to hide my identity from me who was trying to find myself.
This makes it seem like she had no intention of meeting her from the beginning.
“Leah.”
“Yes, uncle.”
“Before I call, I ask. Have you ever had a fight with your sister?”
“You say you’re an outsider, but there’s nothing you don’t know. Are you really aiming to become a stepdad?”
… Damn.
“You didn’t know?”
“I didn’t know. How do I know that?”
“Hmm~.”
I was upset.
It was a look that was half faith, half doubt, and scary.
In order to gain Leah’s trust, I took a step back and acted cautiously, and only then did I ease her suspicions.
“Well, why would my aunt tell my uncle about something that would be detrimental to her? From what I heard earlier, it seemed like she was somewhat leaning on me, so I don’t think she would want to leave a bad impression on that uncle.”
‘Hey, I think I’ve gotten caught up in something I shouldn’t have done.’
Unfavorable, bad impression, no need to hide it…
I can’t believe that a child who was reunited after about 3 years spoke with such bad feelings towards her family who were looking for her.
‘No, no, no…’ She said what that sister did to her kid…’
Even if there is no blood connection, it is still a child.
That’s also the one left behind by her older sister.
It can’t be.
“Please call me.”
“You didn’t like it.”
“She came all the way here and her identity was found out. She’s going to come again anyway. It’s better than sending her away from here and having her aunt come visit her in person next time.”
“…”
It’s not a barrier for me.
I had to watch the relationship between the two.
‘It hasn’t been long since Ian headed to the Mechanic Guild, so he’s probably awake too.’
As before, I turned up the speaker during a video call.
A short communication sound followed.
“Oh, I’m nervous. Can I speak well? Phew,~.”
While the call was connected, Leah let out a slight sigh.
However, rather than being childishly nervous, it was an attitude of worry about whether the announcer would be able to fulfill his/her responsibilities before starting work.
“Write…”
Why am I more nervous?
It would just be ‘returning a child to his parents’.
Toorururu.
Toorururu.
Toorururu.
Toorururu…
I had the impression that I would receive it right away, but it took surprisingly long.
An awkward silence fell between me and Leah.
I was wondering what would happen if I didn’t answer the phone like this, but then it suddenly started to shine brightly.
『Hello~? Well, Ian just came to visit. I was late in getting it because I had to deal with her~!』
『You’re calling a woman at this late hour. You sloppy bastard!』
『Hehe. Why did you call me?』
Received.
Received.
Received.
She repeated the same thought, exhaled hotly, and looked at the screen.
The redheaded ginger is smiling while scratching her freckles.
“Right! Junior, you didn’t reply to me when I texted you like that earlier, and you only call when you need to~? Is the lady really upset?』
“I’m sorry. I was busy with work, so I didn’t have time to send a text message.”
“Days? It’s the 15th floor. There was no attack, so there was no time to text?』
Blue eyes shook.
In the dark teacher’s office, I rely on the light from my cell phone to look at the other person.
I noticed that my face was stiff.
“What. Why is it so dark around here? Where are you here?』
“It’s inside an elementary school.”
“Elementary school? Hey, are you sneaking into the elementary school at this hour? My junior, you’re done perverting?』
Hehe, he was laughing, but his voice was shaking too.
The blue eyes keep moving back and forth, examining my surroundings and complexion.
『… Why? What? Are you trying to surprise the lady?』
Noticed sandalwood.
I am suspecting that I may have found Leah.
I didn’t answer, but lifted her chin and looked at Leah.
“… It’s okay.”
This side also responded to my gaze, saying that her mind was ready.
So from now on…
“Sister.”
“Uh… No way… Already… ?』
“Yes.”
『… 』
Bridget’s sister closed her mouth.
I took advantage of this opportunity to turn the screen.
The light from the cell phone enveloped Leah and the small child.
『… Huh?』
“Hello, Aunt. It’s been 3 years since I saw you.”
“Uh… Uh… ?』
“I’m Leah.”
A calm child, unlike an embarrassed adult.
I placed my hand on her belly button and bowed politely.
『Leah! Is it really Leah? Isn’t it like it’s someone else in disguise!?』
“Thank god. So, how are you? What about your body? Are you hurt anywhere?』
“No. Now is not the time for me to be like this. I am coming! Where are you?』
As she ran wild like an angry bull, Ian, who entered the room late, stopped her, telling her to ‘calm down.’
I didn’t even make a sound while holding the phone.
Because the child I am shining light on is not doing anything but just waiting.
『Leah. The lady really did something wrong… But I neglected you for three years… Has it been hard so far? Haven’t you worked hard?』
“That’s it. Her aunt knows what class this is. As you can see, she was treated well.”
『… Really? Well, then I’ll go up now. Just tell me the location. We’ll probably be there in 20 minutes.』
“There is no need for that.”
“Oh~! Then, will you come with the prostitute? Well, that’s okay! If I’m going to come right away, should I prepare something now? Gather all the guild members and prepare for the celebration…』
I don’t know why my heart is racing.
Apart from the fuss and fuss of Brigitta, this one was extremely calm.
Look at those cold eyes.
I vaguely know what will come out of the child’s mouth.
“No. Let’s order a cake! I like the lady, I know! What flavor does she like? These days, there are even things like yogurt cakes──』
“There is no need.”
It has begun.
I listened to her and shut her mouth so that she would not intervene.
『Leah, hey? Oh,~! Well, then, other than cake, tell me something else you like…』
“Auntie. You don’t know what I like.”
『…』
My sister let out a heavy breath.
Ian is behind me, but he doesn’t participate in the conversation either.
They will just sit back and watch like me.
『It’s because we’ve been apart for 3 years… So…』
“Aunt.”
“Why… ?』
“Now you don’t have to force yourself to do that.”
“What… What are you talking about… ?』
“I know everything. It’s okay.”
A child spoke as if patting an adult.
Like a ‘real teacher’ comforting a child.
“What… What? Why? You finally found it. Come down quickly. Come… With the lady again…』
“What else?”
“Together… Anything…』
“What did we do together?”
“Ostrich…』
“I’m not going down.”
Blue eyes turned to me.
There were many emotions, but the biggest one was resignation.
“I’m sorry for causing you trouble. But I decided when I graduated. I’m just going to live here forever and be quiet.”
『What do you mean, keep living, you’re going to become a demon!?』
“That’s right. I’m going to become a mother and spend my life here with my friends.”
『Leah!!』
“I have a lot of things I want to say, but I won’t say them. The reason I called my aunt today is that she’s been through a hard time. So don’t look for me anymore. I just called to say how I’m doing and to say hello.”
“What are you talking about? Why are you talking like it’s the last time!? Don’t do that, come down from the tower!』
“I don’t like it.”
The girl in red approached me and extended her index finger to the cell phone.
There is no one who does not know what that action means.
『The lady was wrong! I know it’s because of something old! So please… Even if it’s just one time to explain… !』
“Aunt.”
『Leah-』
I don’t even give her a chance to make excuses.
I took action immediately after saying hello to him that he was alive.
“Let’s never meet again.”
『I──!!』
Before Bridgeta could make any excuses, she gave up hope.
The last light disappeared, darkness enveloped us.
The child’s expression was not visible.
