chapter 174
174 – Freya Side Story_The clumsy angel turns white
In the past few days, Freya has had a problem.
Normally, I wouldn’t have to worry this deeply. Cooling her body in cold water and watching her lips turn blue is her way of relieving stress. When she concentrated on the slowly cooling sensation, she felt as if all her worries and worries were flying away.
But this time was different. No matter how many times I filled the bathtub with ice water and tried to cool my skin, the worries that once settled in my head did not go away, but only increased with each passing day.
The good news is that I always have family around me who don’t even give me time to think deeply.
“Mother Freya! Hug! “Hello!”
“no. Freya’s mother will be with me. “She said I was her favorite?”
“aaah! no! Lie! Why are you the only one hugging me? “Just hug me!”
“ah. it hurts. Why are you hitting me? You stupid idiot. go away!”
The boy and girl were busy taking Freya’s arms one by one and pulling each of them towards themselves.
Freya summed up this extremely embarrassing situation with a sigh.
“No~ Everyone should play nice together~ And the words ‘Sylph’ and ‘Evil’ are bad. “Hurry up and apologize to Iris.”
The name of the boy with long, shiny silver hair is Sylph. At first glance, he was a boy with such androgynous beauty that it was hard to tell whether he was a girl or a boy. He could use the excuse that he was still young, but it was clear that if he grew up to be as elegant and handsome as his biological mother, the women around him would be like his uncle Ignis.
The name of the tiny girl who taps the Sylph’s forearm is Iris. The soft cheeks and puffed-out lips, barely holding back the sadness, look like a fairy in the forest. Her pointed ears are a characteristic feature of the elves. Although he could be said to be a so-called ‘half-elf’ who inherited only half of the elf’s blood, he inherited Aegis’ refreshing blonde hair and pointy ears, so it was not too strange to call him a pure elf. She looked exactly like Eugene in terms of her black eyes, and the resemblance was so similar that when I looked at her tear-filled eyes, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
A sylph who was born a few months early and is called her older brother.
When Freya pointed out the Sylph’s actions and tone, he flinched.
The boy frowned and made an excuse.
“eww… But Iris’s ears are sticking out… I didn’t specifically write this to make fun of you… ”
“Iris is an elf. Pointy ears are a symbol of elves. “It’s not strange.”
“As soon as I finish! Even Sylph’s hair turns red! “Why are you making fun of Iris’ ears?”
Iris said as if she was upset.
Sylphs, who were still inexperienced as blood relatives, sometimes had their hair dyed blood red when their emotions were strong.
… It’s still the same now.
Freya comforted the two children.
“Iris. “If I say the same thing that I’m upset, Sylph-chan will be hurt too, right?”
“Ugh… … Hehe… Freya, mom~”
“If you two keep fighting like that, Mom, there’s nothing I can do.”
Freya sternly changed her expression. He decided to give the kids a little scare.
“If you keep doing this, you all should tell Cecilia’s mom…” … ”
I trailed off.
Cecilia.
If you tell her that children grow up fighting, she might teach them magic that makes fighting easier.
Freya quickly changed her tone.
“no… Undine’s mom… … ”
Also, if you try to show off your form and keep talking nonsense, you will end up looking down on the kids because your bottom line will be revealed. When will I be able to have dignity as a parent?
“… … To Aegis’s mom… ”
If I told Aegis this truth, it was clear that she would not be able to hold back her laughter and would giggle and hug Sylph and Iris tightly. If the children ignore their own faults and forget their own faults due to the overwhelming love of motherhood, there is no benefit.
“… “What should I do?”
There is no one who can discipline. Should I go to my dad?
… Is this family really okay?
Just as Freyja froze, the sound of shoe heels was heard from the entrance of the room.
“Fuhuhuhu! “There is no such thing as raising a child alone.”
To my surprise, the place where Freyja and the children were was the Blood Clan’s Magic Tower located in the middle of the snowy field.
The fact that Freyja, one of the phases of the moon, the Old Moon, is at the Magic Tower is not that surprising, but it is also true that her steps rarely reach the Magic Tower.
Once a week. Visiting the Magic Tower was a routine that started just two years ago. To be more precise, after Sylph and Iris became able to read properly, they were brought to the Magic Tower under Freya’s jurisdiction to teach them magic.
“Where are your real mothers and father going and are you here alone?”
Usually, Eugene or Undine would accompany her, but Manwol seemed quite surprised to see Freya alone today, so she asked.
“Today it’s ‘Undy’s turn.’”
It wasn’t long before I started talking comfortably with Manwol. Manwol tilted his head.
“‘Undye’s turn’?”
“date. Things like this need to be done in a set order to prevent fights. Today it’s Undy’s turn. “Undine said it was okay to postpone the appointment until later, but I told her to play with her.”
“… aha? So, do you have to look after the kids while Undine and Eugene are having fun?”
“So sweet… Ahaha… Jo Oh-geum, it’s ambiguous. Even though it was Undine’s date, it was more because of Rin’s wedding preparations. She needs to buy some things. She was supposed to go with Lin, but she was sick in bed a while ago. She said she was very excited and it made her so excited that she got so hot. So, it ended up like this. “Kids get bored shopping.”
“Lynn? … … Ah, that Vanir god little girl?”
“… … He’s grown up a lot to be considered a kid. First of all, Rin is an adult too.”
“Haaam, I became an adult without even knowing it. Have you grown a lot? “I can’t believe that that little angel has grown up.”
“… … … .”
“… “What’s wrong with Old Moon?”
“On the outside, the appearance is… I’m worried because I’m not growing… ”
“Eh? They look the same. “Can you think about the last time you saw me?”
“… … huh.”
“and… … .”
Manwol had a rare breakdown and covered his mouth with his hand.
But it wouldn’t have been able to stop the words from flowing out.
“… Eugene, you crazy, perverted pedophile.”
“… Just in case, don’t say that in front of Rin. I have quite a complex with that kid too. “I’ve heard people swearing at Eugene a few times lately, and the other day she was crying and I could barely get her to confide in me.”
Freya’s pretty face was colored with water.
Manwol said with a complicated expression, “Aren’t you sure you’re just going to castrate Eugene?” He came to an odd conclusion. Of course, Freya turned her head away, pretending not to hear him.
Manwol smiled brightly and said to the children.
“hi! Babies who don’t even have dried blood on their heads! “What kind of trouble did you come here to cause today?”
Sylph and Iris seemed to have been waiting for Manwol to show their interest, so they jumped up and down to welcome her.
“aunt!”
“Auntie Manwol… ”
“aunt! Iris keeps begging me? “Can’t you do something?”
“no! Sylph oppa keeps harassing me! “My aunt will scold me!”
The children complained, pulling on the hem of Manwol’s robe.
But she wasn’t the type to lose her pace just to this degree.
“after! after! after! I’ll teach you a magic that’s perfect for this situation. “Babies.”
“sniping? Are you shooting?”
“‘Perfect’. Iris, you should start studying writing again.”
“I know! “I just misheard the word, but why do you say such bad things?”
“When did I?”
“just now! “I told you Iris was an idiot!”
“I didn’t.”
“I did it!”
“I didn’t.”
It’s the beginning again.
It was at that moment that Freya sighed.
Perfect! The clear sound of snapping fingers contained a faint magical power. It’s Manwol’s doing.
“Okay, stop. Your aunt teaches you fun things? Hmm, let’s see. “This is the magic you will learn today.”
“… … ?”
“『Biggie. “Short Moon Summoning Art.』”
Manwol pointed to the ground with a meaningful voice.
It was supposed to look like a great magic trick, but it was more like a summoning technique and it didn’t even use magic power, let alone magic power, just a raw voice call.
Still, one effect was outstanding.
One on the chandelier, one on the dusty stove.
The Sanghyeondal twins rolled around in droves.
“Manwol called! What’s going on?”
“Manwol called! “What’s going on?”
Then, suddenly, I may have met Iris’ sparkling eyes.
“These are Sanghyeondal sisters!”
“… … … escape… J kwaaang!”
“… … … Mangcha… ㅊ Kaaang!”
“hey! Iris! Don’t run! “Fall!”
Iris cried out and followed behind the twins, and Sylph followed behind, touching her forehead. He is an older brother who thinks very much of his younger brother, even if he is usually a bit snobbish.
Freya released the children to play freely. It’s inevitable to sigh.
“… “You won’t worry if you have ‘other younger siblings,’ right?”
“It’s called ‘another younger brother’… “Is it meaningful?”
Before I knew it, Manwol came and sat next to me. She opened her mouth in her relaxed tone.
“I’d like to think it’s news from you, Old Moon, but… “I already heard about it because I have a source~ I didn’t know that you would be slower to receive news than Emperor Anastasia.”
“… Ahaha, in terms of the most urgent, Anastasia was the most urgent. “Still, he is the emperor of an empire, but it seems like his subjects are pecking at him a lot.”
“You want me to make a heir?”
“huh.”
“But is it surprising? Eugene and the emperor, didn’t they argue the most? “Like those kids.”
“… “The mood between those two has been unusual lately.”
“who? The Emperor and Eugene?”
“… … huh.”
“Kyahaha! What is that? Isn’t that a complete reversal from the emperor’s point of view? “Wasn’t it Cecilia’s pure love?”
“Ahaha… … I know. Cecilia seemed like a pure love, but how did it end up like this? What if I end up alone like this? ?”
Although she said it as if she was laughing, Freyja’s face was frozen.
“Hmm, Eugene, it looks like that bad boy doesn’t have a good relationship with you, Old Moon.”
“… … … It’s not like that… … hey. “We’re doing pretty well.”
“Just pounce on me.”
“… … uh?”
“Pounce. What are you two worrying about so much? Are you still concerned about past lives or something like that?”
“… … no way.”
“You can’t use your weapon. Are you going to use that handsome face only after it has been aged for about 100 years and turned into wine?”
“… … Your face is a weapon. Not to that extent. “It’s because of the power of fascination among the Vanir gods.”
“It’s not that bad. Fuhuhu! Are you secretly unlucky too? I don’t know if you’re just saying empty words, or if I’ve been looking at your face so much that I see a lot of things as pumpkins, but if the person listening was other women instead of me, it wouldn’t have ended in laughter, right?”
Manwol, who was holding her belly button and giggling, shouted to the siblings who were surrounding and pressing the twins from afar.
“There are two siblings! “You both like Freya’s mom a lot, right?”
Sylph and Iris each responded to Manwol’s question with different facial expressions and different gestures, but in a similar context.
“… … Yes, I love you mom.”
“Freya’s mom is the prettiest in the world! “Awesome!”
Iris, in particular, jumped up and down and shouted. Freya smiled awkwardly and shook his hand.
… The prettiest…
I feel good, but I’m a little worried that I’m casually saying something that would be quite disappointing to other mothers, especially my own mother.
We need to properly control people from speaking out.
Manwol laughed.
“Because kids can’t lie.”
Then she suddenly took out something and handed it to Freya.
“Now, this is a birthday present from the moon phases of the Magic Tower to you. I’ll give it to you, Old Moon. “Starting with me, we worked together to create the first, second, and crescent moons.”
“gift… ? “What’s in it?”
A clear liquid glistens inside a small glass bottle.
“It’s a drug that can make Eugene fall in love with you. “As Manwol of the Magic Tower, I will guarantee the quality.”
“The drug that makes Eugene fall in love with me… ?”
Then the Sanghyeondal twins, who were playing with children in the distance, jumped up and down and shouted.
“that’s right!”
“In love!”
“Get hooked!”
“So what happened?”
“I don’t know either!”
“Manwol did the design! “We don’t know!”
“We just made it according to the recipe!”
“Ha Hyeondal helped me!”
“Crescent Moon helped too!”
“Shhh… ”
“Shhh… .”
The twins looked at each other and chirped.
Then, when the children chased after him again, he got so startled that he ran away screaming.
Freya quietly looked down at the glass bottle in her hand.
A flowing liquid. At first glance, it looks like clear water.
“… Falling in love… … ”
“Then do your best, angel girl.”
Manwol gave Freya a push on the shoulder.
