My Daughters Have Regressed - My Daughters Have Regressed chapter 157
157 – My name is Ha Tae-ho. And I… # 8
The children hugged the black stain.
Then the stain slowly took shape and turned into a human shape.
“Dad, I want you to come here…” ” ” !”
Naru closed to the man’s legs and shouted.
Everyone looked at this scene in silence.
I wanted to say something, but it only stayed in my head and didn’t come down to my throat. Salome was the first to come to her senses.
“… Are you Judas?”
Salome looked at the man and asked cautiously. In Salome’s memories of her her, her her, her her Judas her, her her did not appear as if her face her her her her was covered in soot.
But when I looked at her face like this, many things began to become clear, as if I had wiped her photo her with a clean handkerchief.
“Judah…”
The man muttered his name as if he was hearing it for the first time. Judah… , Judah… It looked like he was trying to taste it by holding it in his mouth a few times.
Looking at that scene, Brigitte came to a conclusion to a hypothesis she had only been making up in her mind. The point was that the current Judas may be a slightly different being than he was before.
“Maybe you don’t remember us?”
Brigitte asked the man.
The man frowned or scratched the bridge of his nose with his finger. It seemed like I had lost my memory of everyone.
Brigitte couldn’t even guess what the fight between Judas and Nocturne in the spirit world would have been like. So I didn’t know how Judah lost her memory.
“I’m happy to be back, but at the same time, I’m sad.”
Joy and sadness.
The two feelings were so completely at odds with each other that Brigitte was left indifferent in the aftermath. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so she kept her composition.
Tap, tap, tap.
Iscariot circled around like a cat wary of Judah’s surroundings. She was a very wary person, so she couldn’t easily accept this black speck-like being.
Zek-.
Garrot asked after sticking his finger out and poking his arm.
“If you lost your memory, how did you come back here?”
Garot’s question contained many things.
Saint Iris felt like this was someone asking the sky for some ‘truth’. What answer will the man give?
“I didn’t come back here. He just stopped by here. I’ve been to every house in the world. And we finally met here. People who call me dad…”
I visited every house in the world.
It was like a bluff.
However, because she had experienced more lies than lies, people had no choice but to be convinced.
This man went to every house in the world to find what he wanted and eventually found it.
The man looked at the children’s faces.
It seemed as if he was trying to memorize each facial expression and eye color in his mind.
It was like that in reality.
When the man looked at the children, he knew who he was.
“I think he said this before. Because I think of myself as a daughter, my children will finally become my daughters… But now I see I was wrong. “Because these children called me dad, these kids became my daughters and I became their dad.”
The man’s memory was incomplete.
He was like a white sheet of paper.
However, as he looked up at the bright eyes that called him Dad, many things came to his mind like lightning.
For the sake of these children, he thought that he would fight against any injustice and even sacrifice his life.
Of course, that was impossible.
Because man has become a wonderful being in a sense, no irregularity exists.
It was just such a symbolic metaphor.
“Naru!”
Naru raised her hand and said her name.
“Naru is Naru!”
It was a strange statement.
However, the children keenly sensed that the man’s black eyes sparkled with a strange light upon hearing the name.
Because children sometimes have more sensitive senses than adults.
“Hina… “Hina!”
Hina seemed a little angry as she introduced herself. It was because she thought that her first order had been taken away by Naru this time.
Naru didn’t seem to be conscious of that, but Hina was someone who was conscious of it, so she was very disappointed.
“… My name is Cecily von Ragdoll. And… At the same time, I am also Cecily Barjuda.”
Cecily introduced herself, feeling slightly embarrassed. Since Cecily was the daughter of a nobleman, she was quite embarrassed to call herself a thief’s daughter.
But she soon got better.
In a way, nobles are also thieves in a larger sense.
“Naru, Hina, Cecily…”
The man muttered the names of the three children and pointed at them one by one. It looked like a child learning to distinguish between letters and objects from his parents.
“Naru, Hina, Cecily…”
A lot of things seemed to be going through the man’s mind.
But it was some kind of lump.
Since they were small, detailed chunks of memories that could not be separated, it seemed like it would take a little more time to distinguish what they were.
“I am Salome.”
At that time, the woman who approached the man spoke.
Salome placed her palm on her own breast, pulled on one of her trousers, and bowed her head gracefully.
“Salome…”
When the man heard that name, he twitched his eyebrows as if he remembered something. His eyes soon scanned Salome from head to toe and from left to right, a very explicit gaze.
If anyone else had seen her like this, she would have slapped her, but that didn’t matter to Salome right now.
Salome was smart, so she knew what she had to do.
“I was your only lover. Keep that in mind.”
“The only one?”
The man wiggled his eyebrows again and frowned. His expression made me wonder if that was really true. At that time, Brigitte, who realized the situation, became angry and shouted.
“That’s a lie! Judas, you really don’t remember a thing!?”
Brigitte also ran towards Judas.
Then she hugged Judah.
“I’m Brigitte!”
Everyone was surprised to see that.
That’s because Brigitte always maintained a certain line with Judas. The two of them didn’t even hold hands, but suddenly they were hugged.
“We had many adventures together! “If we were to compare it to a novel, it was an adventure so epic that it would take 5 volumes!”
It looked like a lover returning from the battlefield or a wife welcoming her husband. It seemed somehow sublime.
“What do you think? Is there anything on your mind? Huh?”
Brigitte looked at Judah with slightly teary eyes.
However, Judah’s expression was subtle.
It made Brigitte angry and disappointed her.
‘In normal stories, memories are recalled through the dramatic power of love, aren’t they? ? I was only that much to Judah… ?’
Of course, she didn’t show that.
She just pinched Judas’ side with her fingers.
Judah said about it.
“I think I remember this pinch.”
As he said that, Judas’ eyes were turned to Iscariot. The expression on her face at that time was as if she was wondering if she was in love with someone who seemed so cold-hearted.
Garot, realizing her intention, honestly shook her head.
“I was not your lover.”
“…”
Everyone held their breath at those words.
Some even seemed shocked.
How can you be so honest even in this situation?
Garot felt everyone’s eyes on her, but she didn’t really care. Because she lived her life from the beginning without ever thinking about other people’s eyes.
Instead of talking back to people, she decided to just add a few honest words.
“She wasn’t a lover, but she will be closer than that in the future. Because Cecily was born in September. That means it was made roughly in November. I have to be your wife by November. And we have to make Cecily on the exact date, without any errors.”
People were once again surprised by that story.
Because this was also a very honest story.
It was fortunate that Salome, Brigitte, and Saint Iris quickly covered the children’s ears. If they had been wrong, they could have greatly shaken the children’s values.
Pot-.
At that time, someone approached Judah.
That guy was Sifnoi, who had been on guard as if he was about to hit the black stain with a broom just a moment ago. Sifnoi came towards Judah and raised his hands in the air and shouted.
“That Sifnoi knew that Judah would return, and he was the first to discover… ! In fact, I recognized the black speck of dust as Judas… !”
Everyone fell silent at Sifnoi’s confident words.
You said something so shameless when you tried to throw Judas out with a broom.
However, since it was Sifnoi who discovered Judas first, everyone just stayed still.
“As for that Sifnoi, he is Judah’s loyal servant and right-hand man… ! And Judah is the successor who legally promised to pass on the throne of the king of thieves…!”
Sifnoi thought that he should take advantage of Judah’s inability to remember many things and take advantage of it.
Since Sifnoi played a significant role in this “Great Destruction,” He thought that he deserved to receive that level of reward.
With that thought in mind, he thought to himself, “Hehe,” Judah said while he was laughing.
“No, I don’t know anything else, but I don’t think that’s the case.”
“Hey… !”
* * *
“This is a strawberry!”
Naru said, pointing to her strawberry with her finger.
“Strawberries are delicious! Because it’s sweet and sour! Strawberries come out in the summer, but there are strawberries that come out in the winter too! Delicious! Now Naru can’t really taste strawberries…, I’ll give you her dad instead of her!”
Zek-.
Naru picked up her strawberry and handed it to her father.
Judas looked around at the strawberry he was handed and then put it in her mouth.
As the juice spread in her mouth, I felt like my crumpled brain was being expanded.
This time too, something came to mind, and as I was slowly trying to figure out what it was, Hina, who was watching this, spoke.
“This is a peach… Hina likes peaches best… Because it’s pink…”
“Naru, peaches are my favorite now! Because Naru can no longer taste strawberries!”
Hina frowned as she watched Naru raise her hand. Because she didn’t like the fact that Naru was invading her and also trying to steal her preference for peaches.
As Naru and Hina bickered again, Cecily pointed to the ceiling.
“This is a chandelier. It is a very noble ornament. And this is a fan that every noble daughter must hold…”
Cecily was eager to explain to her father what she knew. She looked just like a mother taking her child and telling them about this and that with her finger.
That was actually the case.
The children did not sleep and brought items and presented them to her father in order to relive his father’s memories that had faded away.
The method was very effective and the man seemed to be regaining some of his memory.
“Daughters are educating their father like a newborn… ” . Isn’t the order completely reversed? ?”
Salome looked at the current situation and laughed because it was so funny.
Only now has she finally been able to let go of all her feelings and smile.
Brigitte answered Salome’s question.
“They say that in this world, there are things where the result creates the process. It is quite possible for the outcome of our daughter to create the process of us.”
Brigitte found this very touching.
Also, I thought that something that could be called a will that was bigger than I could think of existed in this universe, so perhaps all branching points would eventually reach this point.
“No matter what choices we made or what we said, we were destined to end up in this landscape. The process may be a little different, but…”
“Hmph, what are you saying? “Don’t act proud.”
Salome snorted lightly.
Then Bridgette, who felt slightly bad, said, “I guess those were difficult words for you. “If only it sounded condescending,” She said, sarcastically.
These two started fighting, pulling each other’s hair like Naru and Hina did.
Iscariot didn’t want to do that, so he kept his distance slightly from the women, but her sensitive ears heard Judas asking questions.
“However… , Didn’t I have another daughter?”
Judas asked.
At those words, the children stopped what they were doing and looked at each other’s faces.
I have another daughter.
Because it was literally the first time.
