My Daughters Have Regressed - My Daughters Have Regressed chapter 167
167 – Crayons for Christmas! #One
167 – Crayons for Christmas! # 1
Everyone stood still as if they had stepped on a landmine that would explode if they moved.
It was the same for me.
5 seconds, 10 seconds.
When the time that was actually short but felt incredibly long passed, I came to my senses and took off my shoes.
As I entered the living room, people’s expressions changed moment by moment, as if the frozen atmosphere had melted.
“You…”
If my calculations are correct, the woman, who would have been 50 now, looked at me and raised her eyebrows. She looks like an ordinary housewife wearing an apron.
What’s special is that there’s more gray hair than when I remember.
Perhaps time stopped on Earth after I fell into this strange world—I once guessed, but it was absurd.
“… Where have you been and are you coming back now?”
Mom asked me.
At that question, I felt as if countless stories were about to burst out of my mouth, like waves crashing from deep inside my stomach.
Where should I start talking?
While he was hesitating because he had so much to say, a sturdy middle-aged man took off his glasses and put them in his case, moving his stubborn-looking jaw to open his mouth.
“Come in first. I told everyone behind me to come in too. “It’s not polite to make people stand outside in the cold winter.”
Those words felt like a noble command. It was no exaggeration to say that more than half of my life consisted of this command.
I thought things would be different now that I can even cut steel with my bare hands.
But the man was still like a mighty mountain range, and I couldn’t quite picture in my head that I could surpass this man.
“Everyone come in.”
I first brought everyone into the house.
Naru, Hina, Cecily, Tywin.
Brigitte, Salome, Iscariot.
And finally, to Sifnoi.
Everyone turned their heads here and there and blinked, unable to understand what had happened.
The reason no one opened their lips was probably because they knew that the atmosphere we were in right now was unusual, so they remained silent.
I quickly rolled my eyes in this awkward atmosphere.
December calendar.
Even an old Christmas tree placed in a simple living room.
Mom immediately opened the cupboard and took out a bunch of unused decorative cups, then poured water into them and handed them to each person.
“… Are they foreign people? Will words make sense? What if I talk to you in English? Rumi, you are majoring in English literature. Talk to these people! Who the heck is this!”
“Me? I!? I don’t know either! “What kind of situation is this?”
Pot-.
A 21-year-old girl hides behind a middle-aged man.
My father’s back was still wide open, just enough to hide a bratty 21-year-old girl.
However, that figure was very similar to Naru, Hina, and Cecily who were hiding while holding on to my thighs.
From noble mtl dot net
If you look closely, you can see at least one resemblance to her face.
That’s right.
Because we are family.
Family.
When I heard that story, I suddenly felt like laughing because the situation itself was so strange and awkward. That’s stupid. Is there a need to look good in front of the family?
“Naru, Hina, Cecily. Come forward and say hello. Tywin, you too.”
First of all, I thought it would be a good idea to say hello to each other.
When otters give birth to their babies, they hold them up and show them to their keepers, right? I heard that he introduced it with the feeling, “Please take good care of the baby since it is the baby you gave birth to.”
I felt that way too.
I brought Cecily, Hina, and Naru forward and showed them to everyone.
The children were very nervous, and even Naru, who usually ran wild without any restraint, felt very awkward and was only watching what was happening around her.
Are you afraid of my father?
That’s right.
He is over 180cm tall and has a large physique, as if he weighs at least 90kg.
His face was so heavy and without a smile that the children in the neighborhood remembered freezing every time my father passed by on the street.
However, children are very curious.
“I am… Naru… I’m sorry… !”
Naru was the first to open her mouth.
Being the first to step forward in a situation like this was a quality sufficient to become a leader for children. Only then did Hina come to her senses, glanced at Naru and said.
“Hina is Hina… !”
“I… My name is Cecily von Ragdoll…”
“… “I am Tywin.”
After the children were introduced, the mother and father looked quite surprised. Was it surprising that these cute-looking, exotic kids spoke fluent Korean?
Well, there are many things.
But the surprise started now.
“These are my daughters.”
“Well, uh uh uh ─ !!!!?”
A 21-year-old girl hiding behind her father’s back let out a loud noise like a dolphin’s ultrasound. Because of that, Naru, Cecily, and Hina shrugged their shoulders.
You probably thought you would be attacked.
It was actually a sonic attack.
“Mom! They say you’re my brother’s daughter! Isn’t this completely crazy? What on earth is going on? Mom! Mom… !”
“Be quiet. Because I’ve heard it all now! No… No matter how you look at it, he’s 8 years old… No, since we have to use their full age now, they look like they are about 6 years old… Let’s calculate…”
Her mother spread her fingers and rolled her eyes back and forth. Are you trying to count the years? She probably doesn’t mean much.
At that time, her father opened his heavy mouth again.
“The children’s mother… ?”
I thought my father was a rigid and rigid person, but he seemed to be the first to accept that these three children with different appearances were my daughters.
But is this acceptable?
“I only found out about the children’s mother recently, and Naru’s mother is Bridgette here—.”
“I… That… Hello.”
Brigitte was frozen as if she were a cat that had been illegally rescued from someone else’s home. It was only after I pushed his back and introduced him that he awkwardly said hello.
At that time, someone pinched my side.
It was Salome.
“You didn’t say anything about introducing me to your parents! I didn’t even put on makeup because I thought I was on my way home! “If you had told me in advance, I would have paid attention to both my clothes and my face!”
The voice was so small that only I could hear it.
Salome said she wasn’t even ready, she grumbled, but I thought she looked pretty. She didn’t even need to wear makeup.
The costume was unique, like something out of the Arabian Nights.
Zech.
This time, I gently pushed Garot’s back.
“This is Garot, Cecily’s mother.”
“Hmm… Uh…”
It seems Garot was equally embarrassed.
She was usually blunt everywhere, but she seemed hesitant because she didn’t know what to say.
She looked so awkward that I felt like it would be nice to film her.
“I am… He, I am Garoth from the Plain of Iscaliot. I guess I should say it’s an honor to meet her like this…”
Pot-.
“I am Salome. She’s Hina’s mom here. “I was the first woman to meet her husband.”
Salome introduced herself quite skillfully.
However, every time they heard people’s introductions, the eyes of her mother, her father, and her younger sister Harumi rose strangely, but when Salome’s introduction was finally finished, her younger sister could not stand it and shout.
“The children have three mothers? “You thief!”
What a thief.
You really see right through my identity.
“Why is no one paying attention to this Sifnoi… ? ? He’s extremely nymphophobic… ! This Sifnoi is a nymph of the ditch… !”
* * *
It was quite awkward for the family to meet again a little over two years later.
Moreover, the awkwardness was even greater when I brought my wife and daughters from an unfamiliar land.
“I really like this Christmas ice cream cake… ! No nymph has ever tasted a cake as delicious as this Siphnoi… !”
Sifnoy seemed to like the ice cream cake.
But her mother her her her thoughts her Sifnoi was strange.
“… “What on earth is this?”
“She is a nymph.”
“… I see…”
Her mother looked at Sifnoi strangely. It was as if she was looking at someone who had written the name ‘Emiya Kiritsugu’ in the list of people she admired.
─Being a thief, messing around.
A sea anemone.
I gave my mom, her father, and her sister a brief 5-minute account of my story from my fall into the strange world to my return.
A fantasy world where magic and monsters exist.
It seemed like everyone had heard my story as if it were a lie, but everyone seemed to be convinced when they saw Brigitte light a firework in her hand or make a simple ice cube.
“Mom! Mom! Look at him, he’s so cute. He looks like a doll! Doll!”
“This Cecily von Ragdoll is the daughter of a noble family… ! I’m telling you not to pet it carelessly… !”
“It’s so funny to even say that!”
My sister was bullying her own nephews.
Did you become interested because the children’s appearance resembled the dolls you played with as a child?
My younger sister, Harumi, was raised especially well by her mom and dad, so they bought her a lot of toys. On Christmas and birthdays, she received many dolls.
And the dolls were mostly dismembered and discarded.
When I think about it now, it’s all just memories.
Cecily asked.
“Is your aunt noble? I can’t believe people live this high up. He must be a great and enormous noble, right?”
Living on a high level on the Pangea continent meant high status.
To Cecily, the 17th floor must have seemed very high.
“Nobility? Well? Since my grandfather was a four-term member of the National Assembly, wouldn’t it be possible to say that he is a good spoon? Not long ago, her grandfather gave her a genealogy book.”
“… What is a National Assembly member? “For some reason, it seems like a very aristocratic-friendly word.”
It was when Cecily tilted her head at her unfamiliar words.
I was amazed that my grandfather was successful in running for a fourth term. Also, I was concerned about the fact that he gave away his genealogy.
From what I know, my father and grandfather would have almost disowned me by the time I reached high school?
Zek-.
At that time, a soft hand stroked my back.
It was my mother.
“A lot has happened since you disappeared. Since you went missing, your father asked your grandfather to release someone to look for you. Since then, we have been in contact often.”
“Really?”
The two years I disappeared.
Two years have honestly passed in this 21st century.
It was fortunate.
2 years on the other side is 200 years here─if it were the same Interstellar-style plot, I wouldn’t have seen my mom and dad’s faces again.
That’s kind of sad.
“Son, I’m glad you’re back.”
Mom hugged me.
She was so embarrassed that her mother hugged me while her wife and daughters were watching, but she just stayed still.
Because she was crying like a sad mother.
I was a person who didn’t know much about tears, but this situation was so sad that I felt like crying.
Because I felt like my mom had aged in two years.
“My son’s body is like a stone. What trouble he suffered! Look how thin his face has become!”
“No, anyway, this is a bit embarrassing.”
