gift (2)

Leah continued to cry as if she was saddened by the world.
Of course, from the listening point of view, it was just the world, so Ray frowned and bruised.
“Lea, if you keep crying, I won’t give you a present.”
Leah stopped crying at Ray’s words.
Leah, who wiped away her tears, smiled brightly and gave her eyes full of anticipation.
“If you don’t cry, give me a present? Leah won’t cry! Leah won’t cry! Give me a present!”
“Aren’t you going to cry once already?”
“aae!!!!!!”
Seeing Leah crying and crying, Rey patted her chin.
As I listened to Leah’s cry, thoughts of the past kept coming back to me.
“My Leah, your voice is very loud because you resemble your father…”
Even my dad was so tight on me that he went to heaven…
While Rey was muttering to herself, Leah swung a cute fist at Rey’s leg.
Leah was resentful of her brother who brought her presents without leaving only her own.
“I hate oppa!! I hate oppa!! I won’t marry you!!!”
“Who did it?”
“Damn it!!!”
Bella sighed as she saw Leah crying nonstop.
If it was Rey’s job to make Leah cry, it was Bella’s job to comfort Leah.
While Rey was working hard on Leah’s discipline, Bella entered the room and opened the jewelry box.
Bella found a silver string with a hook in her jewelry box and hung one of the earrings she had been given as a gift.
Bella, who had the necklace completed as a temporary measure, called Leah.
“My daughter! Come to work!”
When Bella called, Leah walked to Bella while crying loudly.
Bella smiled broadly as she showed her necklace.
“Did my daughter have a present here?”
When Leah heard that there was a present, she put off crying for a while and wiped her eyes.
While Leah was busy rubbing her eyes, Bella quickly hung a necklace around Leah’s neck.
“My daughter’s necklace is so pretty!”
“necklace?”
Leah looked down at the necklace around her neck with her eyes turned redder than usual.
The blue sparkling necklace looked so pretty even in the eyes of a small child, and it took their attention at once.
Leah, startled, fiddled with the necklace and asked Bella.
“Gift? Is this Leah’s gift?”
When Leah was unable to control her emotions and wiggled the corners of her lips, Bella quickly added an explanation.
“Then. This is a present from my brother.”
“really?”
“really!”
“Brother is the best!”
Leah, who had completely wiped the water around her eyes, raised her arms and started running around the house.
Since everyone who was watching was crazy, Bella worked hard to calm Leia and then took her to the room and sat her down for a while.
It wasn’t normal to handle children, so Bella, sweating profusely, came out of the room and sighed.
“son.”
At Bella’s voice, which seemed to be very angry, Ray wondered if he had grasped the discipline of his younger brother too hard.
However, Bella didn’t even talk about Leia, but came closer and hugged Ray, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
“Son, my only son.”
Bella conveyed her feelings to Rey, which she had put off for a while because she was in front of the innocent Leah.
“You are my son, you know?”
Bella confirmed this over and over again and kissed Rey’s cheek.
“So, don’t worry Mom. I’m begging you.”
Bella’s voice was quiet.
Rey buried her face in Bella’s neck and picked up her breath.
It was the warmth I always missed, and the smell of the body I always missed greeted Ray.
Rey, who had been leaning on Bella quietly for a moment, nodded slightly.
“Don’t worry, Mom. How strong is your son. He won’t get hurt in the future, and even if he does get hurt, he’ll get up in a few days.”
“Are you good at answering?”
“You have to answer well, mother.”
Ray giggled.
Bella touched Rey’s face, accustomed to hiding pain from childhood.
Every time this happened, my heart ached because I thought it was my fault that Ray had grown up too early.
“…my son is more handsome.”
I couldn’t tell how serious the wounds inside the bandage that covered Rey’s body were, but at least the scars from the past had disappeared on her face, so it looked much better.
“Didn’t you erase the scar as soon as possible?”
“I’m still popular, but if I become more handsome, what should I do?”
Ray muttered a smirk and looked into Bella’s eyes.
Bella’s beautiful eyes gave a slightly unfamiliar feeling compared to the past.
Bella, who had a new family and a child of her own, was slowly drifting away from Rey, and she hoped so too.
However, it was natural to feel a little sad, so Ray took Bella’s hand and pressed it to her face once more.
Bella opened her mouth again at Rey’s pampering after a long time, but Leah burst out crying a little ahead of him.
“Damn it!”
Excited to receive a present, he seemed to have fallen while raging alone in the room.
Bella hurriedly ran to the room, and Rey watched the scene with satisfaction.

After Clemens arrived at the Count of Phillips, he was almost imprisoned.
Clemens had no complaints about being imprisoned, but he was afraid of when his neck would fall.
The drivers, who used to bring food directly for security reasons, were unexpectedly kind, but they didn’t know when that would change.
However, as time passed, I gradually adapted to the life of confinement and found some time to relax.
When the distance had narrowed enough to naturally exchange greetings with the knights, Rey came to visit.
“how have you been doing?”
“Yes, thanks… He, are you okay?”
Clemens wondered if it was okay for him to ask such a question. However, it was a useless worry.
Ray, who tapped his wheelchair, shrugged.
“I think I’ll just have to ride it another month or two just in case.”
After 10 minutes of light chatter, Ray brought up the topic.
“Actually, there was no reason to take you down until you took the risk. You know that?”
“…Yeah, I know.”
I don’t know if I can hide my identity easily, but it was quite difficult because the characteristic of having a stiff body was so obvious.
Ray, who emphasized that a few more times, said calmly.
“If you don’t work hard, you’ll treat people like that, but you’ll have to make an effort to pay for the meal.”
“Okay. But what I have to do is…”
“Not much.”
Ray grinned.
As a merchant, Clemens had excellent abilities, but in the Countess of Phillips located on the outskirts, there was no place to actively use it.
“Well, I can give you some advice when dealing with big bosses from time to time, and if you can help manage the estate’s finances, help.
In any case, it was clear that his money sense would be the best in the Count of Phillips.
Clemens understood Ray’s words and nodded.
Ray conveyed a few other caveats to Clemens.
The range of action was limited as it had to be unnoticed by outsiders.
Their appearance had to be disguised, and in particular, their gait was not to be revealed to others.
Often, to get some fresh air, you had to use a carriage or sit in a wheelchair to move only your head.
It was frustrating to hear, but this was a condition that considered Clemens enough.
Clemens was upset by the pressure.
Even Clemens thinks, if he were Rey, something like Clemens would have just been buried in the ground.
This kind of consideration means that there is something to be expected in the end, so I felt like I had to prove the value of existence by demonstrating my abilities that I didn’t have.
Of course, Ray didn’t plan to be strict with Clemens, but he was willing to change his mind if he was too lethargic.
As a merchant, he was savvy, so the overall story was easily solved.
After a brief break with a glass of water, Rey pointed to Clemens’ chest.
“Are you ready to part with the spirit?”
“…”
This time, even Clemens couldn’t be sure.
There was a lot of affection as he was a spirit who had been with us through difficult times like a friend.
However, since there were quite a few people who knew about the spirit that Clemens had contracted with, Rey’s request to cancel the contract was justified.
Clemens let out a long sigh and then nodded.
“I’m ready.”
“Then let’s proceed right away.”
Rey understood the melancholy that Clemens had to endure, even a little, so if Clemens canceled her contract with the spirit, she would make a contract with another spirit.
If it was a wind spirit, it would be of some help to move.
Rey was excited to scare another wind spirit, so he killed himself.
Meanwhile, Clemens summoned the Ice Spirit.
The spirit, in the shape of a lizard, felt the will of the contractor and disappeared for a while, saying that he conveyed a sad feeling.
Soon the ice spirit brought another spirit.
Clemens wept when she realized that the spirit she had been with for a long time had finally introduced her to a new friend.
In the end, Clemens canceled the contract with the original spirit and made a contract with the new spirit.
The ice spirit in the form of a lizard licked off Clemens’ tears to say goodbye and then disappeared.
Seeing the truly heartwarming sight, Ray was greatly disappointed.
I was circulating mana with excitement at the thought of stinging spirits, but when things went awry like this, I was overwhelmed with disappointment.
In the end, it had been a while since the space sword stabbed the spirit belly again.

Elves have a long lifespan.
Some types of elves seemed to have rotted over the strong as they lived for a thousand years, but in reality, that wasn’t the case.
The elves were less active than humans, and their mana affinity was also on the low side.
In fact, he was able to maintain a long lifespan because his activity was low and his mana affinity was low.
The more you use your body, the easier it will wear out.
Of course, elves also had certain strengths compared to other races.
The sense of the body was very good, and the detection and hiding technology using it was difficult to catch up with as a human being.
After arriving at the Count of Phillips, the elf, Miner, relaxed and relaxed.
Even for a human knight who had reached the level of an expert, it was difficult to see through Miner’s hiding place.
There may not be any Graduites in this outskirts, but even if they do exist, they could not be detected unless you approach them very closely.
The magic barrier was difficult to solve, but it didn’t matter as it wasn’t a mission to infiltrate the lord’s castle.
‘Shall we move?’
To be honest, it was a waste of power for Miner to come all the way here.
Isn’t it a simple personal investigation, not a kidnapping mission?
Originally, this mission could be solved by sending a few spies with no special abilities. If the Count of Phillips was a great city, then Marquis Mathias would have too.
However, when several strangers who did not know their faces appeared in the Count of Phillips, a small land on the outskirts, they were naturally suspicious.
That’s why I sent Miner, but from Miner’s point of view, it was an easy task, so there was nothing wrong with that.
He certainly thought so, but it wasn’t long before Miner realized that he had made a terribly wrong decision.
Really very bad judgment .
