Chapter 999 – Ep.997 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
– Smith.
At the sound of Kernax’s voice coming from afar, I stopped my brisk pace and slightly raised my head to look up at Winter.
“I guess mom is here.”
“Peekaboo…”
With a look of disappointment on her face, Winter let go of the hair she was holding tightly. And I broke into a cold sweat as I carefully held Winter, who was climbing on my neck, in my arms.
For a more realistic experience, I ran around the mansion, clattering like a horse. That’s for an hour too.
When I was a student, I had the opportunity to briefly experience horseback riding, and I still vividly remember getting out of the saddle without being able to last even half of that, let alone an hour.
‘I really don’t know who I resemble so much that I have such good physical strength.’
I don’t know if he sat quietly and played with a toy, but if he climbed on my neck and squealed for an hour, I would doze off.
“Abuuu… “
However, my daughter, who was overflowing with energy but seemed to want to play a little more, kept glancing up at me with the sad eyes she had shown me when she was scolded by Kernax and pursed her cute little lips.
‘You must not pass over…’ … Don’t skip it…’
My daughter was so smart that even before she could speak properly, she knew what facial expressions to make, so her dad wouldn’t reject me.
“Were you there?”
“Oh, are you here?”
As soon as I turned the corner leading to the main building, I ran into Kernax, who was coming this way.
“This guy.”
“Aww!”
Kernax approached, immediately stretched out his hand, picked up Winter, and held her in his arms. Of course, Winter said she didn’t want to go and grabbed my collar. But as I said several times before, it was impossible for even me to defeat Kernax unless I was on the bed.
“Our clever daughter. “Her mom would have told her to just throw a normal tantrum if she was definitely going to throw a tantrum, right?”
“Joy… !!”
As the situation quickly became unfavorable, Winter snorted and exercised her right to remain silent. When I saw that appearance, I thought that she was my perfect daughter.
“I heard you couldn’t even eat lunch?”
“It just happened to be like that.”
Kernax, perhaps accustomed to this type of situation, stood next to me, poking Winter’s swollen cheeks.
“The two people who came yesterday went back a little while ago, so let’s go to the kitchen.”
“I was wondering if I should just stay in the bedroom and eat.”
So, I walked leisurely to the kitchen with Kernax, who was holding the upset Winter in his arms.
“Ah… !!”
“Oh, sister! Shhh!”
“Huh?!”
When we entered the kitchen, the first thing that greeted us were Lili and Roro, who were sitting upright on chairs.
“Right… ?”
And even though Winter, who is extremely shy, somehow made eye contact with the twins who suddenly stood up, she did not hide her face and looked at Lili and Roro with a very confused look! Swish! And we started looking at it in turns.
“Puh… “It’s only when things like this are like children.”
Kernax squeezed his collar and smiled as if he really loved Winter, who was very confused by the appearance of the twins, kissing her head and forehead several times.
“Both of you, please sit down first.”
“Ah, yes…”
“Ugh, sister…”
When Kernax softly suggested that she sit down again, her older sister, Lili, scratched her cheek shyly, and her younger brother, Roro, muttered her mouth and pulled her to her chair.
They are truly identical twins.
‘I still can’t believe that such profanity came out of the mouths of such innocent people.’
To be honest, it was difficult to say that my first impression of the twins was good, even with empty words. Because she appeared in the border forest swearing, I couldn’t look at her in a positive light even if I tried.
But now, after learning about the true nature of those two, I think back on that incident, and I think that the twins’ appearance that day screaming profanities was a way they chose to appear strong somehow.
“Giena? “You just need to fill your stomach in moderation, so don’t worry too much about it.”
“I understand.”
After peeking outside, I went back into the kitchen and Kernax and I sat in front of her table.
“It seems quite strange.”
“Well, it might be a bit difficult for Winter to tell the difference.”
Kernax and I looked at Winter, who was still looking at the twins alternately with a frown on her face, and laughed under our breath as much as possible to keep the sound from escaping. But what can I do when the pranks are so cute?
“Our princess?”
“Aww, aww!!”
When I gently pressed her cheek and called out, Winter grabbed my finger with her fern-like hand as if she had been waiting and waved her other hand towards the twins.
“Ugh, hmmm! “What the heck.”
I bit my lip and barely managed to stifle a laugh, then carefully picked Winter up from the arms of Kernax, who was also shaking his shoulders trying to hold back laughter.
“My daughter? “This is Lili.”
“Hello. Lady!!”
“Uh, sister… !”
“Ah!!”
It may not have been intentional, but Roro’s voice definitely sounded a little loud. But my father, a genius, was not surprised at all, perhaps because he resembled his mother more than his father.
“And this is Roro.”
“Oh, hello… ?”
“Right… ?”
Although it may be due to their innate personalities, unlike their hard-to-distinguish looks, there was a clear difference in their voices, so Winter, who heard the two voices properly, seemed even more confused and started looking at the twins and then at me in turns.
“Two people?”
“Yes!!”
“I-I’ll do it for you…” …”
As Cernax opened her mouth, her younger brother Roro took out a familiar black hair tie from her pocket and neatly tied up the back of Lili’s hair.
Her face still looked exactly like a mirror, but when one person changed their hairstyle, it became much easier to tell them apart.
“Now, winter? “This is Lee and this is Roro.”
“It’s Lily.”
“Ro, it’s Roro…”
The twins followed me and appealed to Gyeoreum once again, this time even saying their names.
“… Oooh, ooh.”
Ah, I shouldn’t laugh.
“And! That’s right! I’m Lili!”
“Wow…”
Her twin’s older sister, Lili, even clapped and loved Winter’s babbling, which she couldn’t pronounce because she didn’t have teeth yet.
“Mr. Smith.”
“Oh, sorry. “I made you wait.”
“No. I had fun too.”
As he approached me quietly, I put down the bowl with the sandwich filled with bacon and lettuce, gently patted Winter’s head as she was concentrating on her twins, and then went back into her kitchen.
“Daughter. “Dad, I need to take care of myself, so come here.”
“Anyah.”
“Okay. “Mamma.”
Cernax took Winter in his arms again, then stood up and moved next to her twin.
“Better than that, she’s a young lady.”
“Ah, well then… “Princess?”
“That… It’s okay, but it’s just a nickname.”
Kernax said with a kind smile towards the two who were clearly having a hard time with me.
“Just call me by my name.”
“Um, is it okay for us to… ?”
“Then. “We are family now.”
“Ah… Okay, thank you. Great master!”
“Thank you…”
The corner of Kernax’s happy mouth suddenly stiffens.
And the twins froze due to Kernax’s sudden change.
“Oh, I’m sorry…”
Perhaps because he saw the twins’ frozen faces, Kernax massaged the area around her mouth with one hand.
“But the owner… ?”
“Well, that’s what we call high-ranking people.”
“You’re right…”
Sigh.
Kernax glanced this way, as if to check if what he said was true. I nodded, taking a bite of the sandwich.
“Whoa, I see.”
Only then did Kernax’s mouth soften again.
“I thought someone else told me to call you that.”
“Ah──”
When Lili tried to respond to Kernax’s muttering, which was almost like talking to herself, Roro, who was sitting next to her, hit Lili’s side with his elbow.
‘Oh…’
Perhaps because she was so shocked, Lili couldn’t even let out a proper moan and fell down on her table.
“Oh, I’m sorry… !”
“Agg…”
And Roro is embarrassed and doesn’t know what to do when he sees Lili lying down and moaning.
He seemed so embarrassed that he failed to control his strength.
Thrilling!!
‘… ?’
As I was watching the twins’ flustering behavior, which was more fun than I expected, while eating a sandwich, a stinging gaze suddenly landed on my left cheek.
So I swallowed the contents in my mouth and turned my head, making eye contact with Kernax, who was glaring at me with narrowed eyes.
‘You didn’t order it, right?’
‘Absoluteness!! Never!!’
I had to desperately shake my head and prove my innocence in the face of that cold gaze, similar to when I swung my sword at Siron in the past.
“…”
“… !!”
However, with his gaze still unrelenting, I quickly blew out the information Kernax wanted.
“Hmm! Mar, Mar… Huh! Pius…”
“Hoo.”
Only then did Kernax’s gaze retract.
‘… I think I’ll pretend to do this.’
I put the half-eaten sandwich back on the plate.
