Chapter 357 – Even if You Have Children… Would It Be Okay?
“Nonsense….”
Her mother reacted as if she had seen her ghost.
She deserved it.
The scene where the son suddenly brings nine people over as his girlfriend one day would be as hard to watch as ghosts.
Naturally, the atmosphere in the kitchen was frozen cold, and a voice so sharp that it felt like a knife came from her mouth.
“Are you serious? You’re dating everyone here?”
“…Yes.”
“You’re crazy. You’re so damn crazy. Everyone here too.”
The reaction I expected after drawing it in my head several times.
But when she met her face, her heart raced like crazy.
Even the lovers who encouraged each other when we were together were in a state of shrinking from her mother’s force.
But she did not regret telling the truth.
Because this situation is a barrier that must be overcome someday.
And she had said earlier that if she was going to get caught later anyway, she had better come out first, but besides that, she had one more reason why she decided to reveal the truth.
Aside from calculating things, I wanted her mother to proudly acknowledge our relationship.
I can’t explain clearly why I felt that way.
Technically speaking, I’m just the mother of the character I possessed.
Not a single drop of blood was mixed with me.
Even so, at some point, she felt the warmth of her real mother.
Perhaps it was because I felt the love for my son hidden behind a cold exterior.
Or maybe it’s because of the emptiness in her heart caused by her real mother passing away early from illness when she was young.
Anyway, I want to get permission from my mom to be between us.
As long as I live in this world, I am her son and she is my mother.
So I forced myself up from the weight of the heavy air and stood next to Angela, bowing her head.
“I know it’s a difficult situation to understand. But I love all nine people here from the bottom of my heart. I want to live happily together without giving up on anyone. Please allow me.”
“You all live together? Not with one, not with two, but with nine?”
This time her mother’s fierce eyes turned to her lovers standing next to her.
“Don’t you guys see anything strange about this situation? Do you think this makes sense?”
“…”
Among the hardened people, the one who gave courage was Michelle.
“Lee, Ian’s mother. You must be embarrassed, but please listen to us…”
“Miss Michelle. Knowing that she has a strong sense of her profession as a teacher, I was relieved in many ways when I heard that she was her son’s homeroom teacher. But she didn’t expect to meet her in this way.”
“…Sorry, but we mean it.”
“…”
As Michelle’s position seemed unchanging, her mother looked at her Hyejin this time.
“Melissa. Taking good care of your son didn’t mean this. Why are you more sensible than anyone else…”
“…I’m sorry. I have the same thoughts as Miss Michelle.”
Hyejin’s unshakable eyes.
She no longer thought she would only get the same answer if she asked someone else, but her mother looked at me again and said,
“Immature son of a bitch. Did you think happiness would increase if you were ignorant and only increased people? What would you do with the eyes of others? Do you think you can just ignore them? There is a reason why people in the world walk the right way. You don’t even know that!”
In her frustration, her mother slammed her fist on the table.
My shoulders twitched for a moment, but I couldn’t keep my mouth shut because of the momentum.
“We’ve already made up our minds. Please allow us.”
“You say you’ve made up your mind, why are you asking for my permission? I’d rather hide it like I’ve always done!”
“…I wanted to be acknowledged by my mother even if others didn’t know.”
“…”
Her mother’s face darkened with deep concern.
After a long silence, I got up from her seat and she walked towards me.
It will fit in one big room.
She was determined to take on anything, so the moment she shrunk her body with a lot of tension.
“You foolish bastard!”
“Oops!”
A really big one has arrived.
She knew it would hurt less if her heart was ready, but she realized it was no use.
She apparently hit her head with her fist, but it felt like her body was floating in the air after being hit by her dump truck.
I wrapped my arms around her throbbing head and slumped in her seat.
“Ian!”
“Ian!”
The lovers who gather around me in surprise.
When her head hurt so much that she couldn’t even answer the girls who asked if she was okay, her mother came up to us.
She was terrified that her fist would come flying once again, but what came back was a deep sigh.
“Ha… Do as you please.”
“Yes?”
“I told them to live together or do whatever they want.”
Did I hear it right now?
“Really?”
“Does this mother look like someone who would lie?
With the sound of her heavy steps, the mother returned to her seat and sighed again as she touched her forehead.
“Whoa, I should have stayed with you. This is all my fault as a mother for not leading them properly.”
I never thought I would be allowed to go through the pain of having her head split.
Excited, she forgot the pain and jumped up.
“Thank you so much, Mom.”
“…There are conditions instead.”
At the word condition, my mouth and the mouths of the lovers who were delighted with her mother’s permission went quiet.
“If you’re determined to be with everyone here, take responsibility and even get married.”
“Are you married?”
“Yes. It is only natural that a man and a woman who decided to have a relationship get married.”
It never occurred to her that her mother would bring up the story of her marriage first.
But she said it was a good thing for those of us who talked about having a secret wedding.
“…”
“Why are you silent? Are you saying you can’t? With such a light heart-“
“Oh, no! She was surprised because she didn’t know her mother would tell her to get married. Of course she’s going to get married too.”
After hearing my answer, her mother’s stern expression eased a little.
“Didn’t I just tell you. Marriage is natural.”
“Are you okay? It’s a little hard to tell others, so we’ll have to have a secret wedding…”
It would be all over if I said I knew it, but I still asked in a cautious voice.
It would be bittersweet for her mother if her son’s wedding was without a single guest.
However, unlike my worries, there was no hesitation in her mother’s answer.
“A wedding is a place where the bride and groom promise to be together as a couple for the rest of their lives. The guests are the people who come to bless them and become witnesses to the oath. One me is enough.”
I’ve always thought of her as a hard-nosed person who is knowledgeable and values her principles.
But looking at her now, she seemed more like an exciting heroine than a stiff one.
“Yes, I will marry you. Thanks, Mom!”
After me, my girlfriends relaxed and thanked me, but her mother’s expression was still serious.
“I’m not done talking yet. I’m not talking about getting married right away.”
“Yes?”
“Get married at least one year after graduating from school.”
“One year after graduation?”
Her mother nodded her head.
“Yes. You are still too young to make the big decisions of your life. I can’t judge whether the feelings you have right now are from your youth or not. If you are sincere, keep your sincerity until the time you promise to prove it to me. And in the meantime, your girls Develop the ability to take responsibility.”
Before I could answer, her mother looked at her lovers and continued her words.
“If you want to be with my son, please wait for that long. Since I accepted your and my son’s insistence, shouldn’t you accept my insistence as well?”
The lovers’ answer was, of course, yes, and no one understood her mother’s story badly.
It was because my mother’s sincere voice told me that the reason for such a condition was not to separate us, but because she was sincerely worried.
“Yes, I will. And I will definitely marry everyone here.”
“Ha… Do that. How the hell did this happen…”
A deep sigh that seemed to sink to the ground.
However, not to match that sigh, my girlfriend and I’s faces were as bright as the sky after rain.
—
Since then, I have worked hard to become a man suitable for my women.
In order to safely graduate from school, she continued to study and train for magic, and did not neglect to explore and worry about her future.
Actually, it wasn’t easy.
Potential and magical aptitude were at the bottom, so it took several times the effort to follow others.
However, there were many excellent wizards around me, and thanks to that, I was able to get my grades safely.
(This is a secret, but when I was really having a hard time, I secretly borrowed the power of the Book of Mana from the people around me.)
That’s how I finally graduated from school safely.
After four eventful years of university life, the job I chose was, ironically, at a game production company.
I entered a game company because I liked games in Korea, but I got tired of repetitive and arduous missions.
The company I entered after wasting my hard-earned magic skills was creative and flexible unlike the previous places, so I felt like I could live the life of a game developer I dreamed of as a child here.
Michelle was still a teacher at Scarlett Women’s College.
The novel she was writing, Haute Sa, cruised through as many as 600 episodes and ended with the happy marriage of her main characters.
Although she had successfully completed her debut novel, she said she had no intention of writing her next novel because money or fame were not her goals.
(It wasn’t that she didn’t write at all, because Selena often asked Michelle for her short stories featuring herself and me.)
Selena joined her mom’s company, Branzel, as a new employee.
It was her goal to take over her mother, Angela’s position as her chairman, by learning from her step-by-step and working her way up.
Dania joined the company along with Selena.
At home, the lady’s butler, at the company, as a motivator, in the future when Selena became the president, she was eager to become her secretary.
Others faithfully carried on her self and her work.
Angela and Verita continued to run the company and waited for Selena and Dania to grow, while Hyejin was faithful to the duties of the chairman.
De Laneige worked as a health teacher at her school, as well as hunting sorcery criminals with her mother as a means of avenging the sins of her days as the Black Witch.
Airy also continued to work at her workplace and diligently continued her social life.
Up to this point, it was within the expected range, but Anna was walking her unexpected path.
She was preparing to become a teacher at none other than Scarlet Women’s University.
This was a suggestion from Michelle, who belatedly learned that Anna had a genius talent for mana manipulation.
Mana manipulation was the most inaccessible of all fields, so there was less research on it, so I thought it would be nice to study it at a university.
It’s not an easy road for her, like graduate school, but Anna accepted Michelle’s offer, as she was attracted to the fact that she could use her talents in a quiet place.
When about half a year passed after graduating from school, both my girlfriends and I were well adjusted to the changed environment.
As much as I easily got a job using the experience and knowledge I already had, I quickly adapted to working at the company, and needless to say, Selena and Dania were more capable than me.
The only person she didn’t have a place with was Anna, but everyone believed in her and supported her because she knew her talent and her hard work.
It had been a long time since the ten of them had gotten used to living together in the Branzel family’s mansion.
Thanks to the good relationship between me and the women, the family was always full of energy, and we were considerate of each other, so there were no fights.
Ah, speaking of her relationship with her mother, nothing has changed from before.
As it was until now, to the extent of occasionally contacting and seeing each other.
Seeing that she hadn’t touched me and her girlfriends in all that time, I guess I’d come to some level of acceptance now.
When I was living such a peaceful life, Friday before a weekend.
After coming home from work, having dinner with my lover, and not realizing the time passed, it became night before I knew it.
However, no matter how dark it was outside, instead of going to sleep, I walked down the long hallway.
When I knocked at the door I arrived at and entered, I was greeted by a face that I could not get tired of no matter how many times I saw it.
“Honey.”
“Angela, did you wait?”
“Yes….”
As much as I came to live with all of my lovers, I slept with them more.
Usually, the order is set according to a simple game like rock-paper-scissors or according to women’s standards, but today was the day to spend the night with Angela.
There are times when the girls are so busy that they get tired, but I don’t think it’s something to talk about right now.
Both me and Angela were very excited when they saw the opponent facing each other.
Thanks to the fancy lingerie dress she was wearing, her lower body was on the verge of bursting.
“Did you buy new clothes? They look so pretty.”
“Yes… I was wondering if my honey would like it…”
Angela blushes as petals land on her cheeks.
It’s been several years, but it’s as beautiful as when we first met.
Whether she was special or if this world was the way it was, Angela’s beauty was the same as before.
“Yeah, it suits me well. And it’s so erotic that I can’t stand it.”
He took her to her bed and laid her down.
Excited, she let go of her hands and began to massage her breasts over her lingerie.
“Huh, honey…”
Angela, who was calmly accepting her touch, let out her sexual intercourse, opened the zipper of my pants, took out my hardened cock, and wrapped it with her hand.
“Haa… Honey, that’s hard….”
“It’s because Angela is too hot.”
I can’t stand it anymore, thanks to her thin fingers caressing his cock.
She straightened her Angela and reached for her lingerie.
At that moment, I heard her voice and my hand stopped in the air.
“Hey, honey… Can I ask you a favor?”
“Please? Of course. What is it?”
“That… Now we have six months left. Until we can get married.”
When her mother allowed us to marry, the condition was that we get married a year after graduation.
Now that half a year has passed since graduating from school, as Angela said, after another half year, I and her lover can get married and become a couple. Although it is a secret wedding.
But why are you suddenly talking about it?
“Is it? Why?”
“…”
Angela’s lips clung to each other as if they wouldn’t come off easily.
I asked again what was going on.
“Talk to me comfortably. Angela will do all the requests.”
“That… Honey, you waited so long for your mother to tell you.”
“Yeah, I waited a long time.
“So…If there are only six months left…”
Her hesitation sent her eyes silently so that she could talk comfortably.
And finally, the story she had been putting in her trembling pretty mouth was heard.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to have children…?”
