He Is a Master Who Can’t Handle a Slave Properly

53 – The mother and the daughter (4)

“Welcome.”

It was late afternoon when we arrived home.

Even though it was even late, having worked out lunch with her outside.

When I asked if it wasn’t polite, she just said, ‘My mother told me to do that,’ and didn’t show any urgency.

Above all, as soon as she woke up, she tore off the thing that was rubbing her legs hard, and tossed and turned over whether she had suffered more after fighting the bandits –

In the end, because I moved my body once more, the time was delayed.

Then I started to fear that her stomach would swell before the wedding.

I wanted to avoid that much. furthermore –

…Even so, I didn’t even have a proper origin in this world.

‘With such a poor background, I dare to kill my daughter-‘

Isn’t that a common story?

What if her parents obediently objected, the anxiety wavered a little, but –

Realizing that she was different from other people, she was able to calm herself down.

It was like that just thinking about the way her mother looked yesterday.

‘Wasn’t the person I love the first thing for my daughter? You talked about it…’

The love that Ellie has for me is beyond my ability to handle, so I believed that if she said just a few words, she would surely allow it.

“So, when will the wedding be? And where?”

But, I didn’t know you would say such a thing before I even sat down.

Embarrassed, I followed her to the room and stumbled on my limping prosthetic leg. Fortunately, Ellie held my arm so I didn’t fall.

“Be careful, huh? I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ellie.”

I took the hand she gave me and barely got it right. The wife smiled and put her hand on the doorknob.

“Huh… Anyway, I’m here now. Wouldn’t it be right to see the father of the child?”

With a rattle, the door opened, and I entered the room following my wife who slowly entered the room-

“Ah. Honey, are you here?”

No knees, only empty space below the thighs –

A gray-haired man sat in the seat, covered with a long blanket to somehow hide the gruesome sight from the guests.

Long, bushy ears, but a face with a long, large scar.

The slightly angular, slightly hollow cheeks seemed to tell how much he had weakened.

He stared blankly at his wife, kissed the back of her hand, then glanced and turned his red eyes to us standing in front of the door.

“Ah… uh… Ellie? Elnie?”

He pricked up his bunny ears and blinked for a moment before calling his daughter’s name with a faint smile.

“Ellie… long time no see… my daughter…”

His painful expression, which seemed to stay somewhere between joy and sadness, was soon hidden by his wife’s arms and slowly sank.

“Ugh…”

“Shhhhh… We have guests, but you shouldn’t act like that. You know I’m happy to see you after a long time, but…”

Her voice was really nice, but her face wasn’t.

Looking at her husband and receiving a kiss on the back of her hand, she tried to sit down with a relaxed face, but now, with her husband buried in her chest, she was quietly staring at her daughter.

I didn’t know that a person could send resentful eyes to a person while remaining so expressionless, leaving only stern eyes.

no matter how much…

I knew very well that Mrs. Michel’s love was heavy, but I didn’t expect that she would show such a hostile attitude towards her own child.

Before coming here, in her stories that were explained to her, she was kind to her children –

Was there only a father who was dealing with?

I began to feel very uncomfortable with the sight, and looked at her out of the corner of my eye to see if she was offended.

But she just stood there quietly, her eyes straight on her mother.

The clasped hands trembled quietly.

“Come on, shouldn’t we tell Dad what we’re talking about?”

The wife, who slowly ran down the loose rabbit ears, took a long breath and glared at Ellie-

“…you have something you want to say to the child, so I’ll step aside for a moment.”

“Yes.”

“It doesn’t take long. I’ll be waiting.”

I got up, put my hand on Eli’s shoulder and left.

When the door that couldn’t be closed with a click returned to its original position, he, who inherited Ellie’s ears and head, quietly called for his daughter.

“L, my baby, are you coming here?”

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at me once.

Like back then, are you thinking of not going that far?

“Come on. Isn’t it your father who hasn’t seen you in a while?”

She trudged, trudged… and then slowly hugged him and she began to quietly shed tears.

“Ah… Dad… Dad…”

“How long has it been, my daughter… Take care of yourself and be well? Huh?”

sigh, squeak…

The image of him sweeping his daughter’s cheeks and back with scarred arms, but too thin, looked so dangerous.

“How did you change like this… like this…”

“You were seriously injured. That day…”

“But… but -“

“Daughter, it’s okay. Daddy… Daddy has a mother. It’s okay. And…”

He swallowed his tears and turned his head toward me, bowing his head.

“Thank you… I read the child’s letter. Thanks to you, my wife and children were able to live safely. Really… thank you very much.”

His face was distorted with dejection, joy, and some indescribable emotion.

I couldn’t understand all of the complex emotions… but it was clear that he had suffered a lot at least.

“…I’m about to marry your daughter.”

I slowly got up from my seat and stood next to him, limping.

“you…!”

Both the father-in-law and the son-in-law are not in good shape.

Slowly bending her knees, she bowed deeply to him.

“Oh, no… this is…”

clap.

I got up on my knees and struggled to get up. I walked over to him and grabbed his scar-covered arm and held it tightly.

“It’s a big temple, Father. I – I’m from a place other than this world. Of course, I know it’s hard to believe, but…”

Hearing that, he looked at me with blank eyes, then opened his mouth.

“Another world… sure… Eliot-Elliot-Lee…”

He frowned and scratched his head nervously, spitting out a name.

“My colleague… she was my colleague before coming to this town, I don’t remember… hazy. Yeah, that’s right. I’m sure he joked about that – I never thought anyone else would say that.

hehehe, hahahahaha… Ah, my God. I hope this happens – Ha, hehehe…”

He seemed very clumsy at making faces.

He ran his hands over his face, occasionally squinting one eye violently or thumbing up an eyebrow.

But his mouth was clearly filled with joy. surprise and delight.

His eyes were wide open and his ears perked up at me, and the hand I was holding was gripping my hand with great force, full of joy.

Even though it was a thin arm that clearly didn’t look like a muscle.

“I won’t ask too much about what happened to you. Who am I going to pick on without my legs anyway?”

Struggling and trying to move something blunt under the blanket, he looked at his lower body in a gloomy moment for a moment, then raised his head and grabbed my shoulder.

“If the child’s mother was very harsh, I will apologize instead. Because she is very wary of people outside her original body and her love is so heavy…

But it was she who held on to me and firmly tied the family together with my young son that was about to collapse.

Mmm… I know how she sees her children.

From the moment the first child, ‘L’, toddled with me and held me, she has shown that kind of side. I tried to raise a child, but I didn’t attach affection.

That’s what makes her still scare me – but still, I appreciate her trying to do all the mothering.”

He sighed and looked at someone through the door.

“The reason she moved away like that is because it’s the utmost care she can give me and my daughter. She’s asking her to say goodbye… one last time.”

“The last – you mean? Father?”

With a bitter smile on his face, he muttered quietly.

“… Chise always wanted me. All of me. He would do anything to keep me. Even his hands were stained with blood.

After having children, I always just wanted to go to bed. Always wanted me to close my eyes by her side early.

Just because you can have me alone, away from my children…

Please tell me, you – um, sorry about this, we haven’t even spoken to each other. The name?”

“Marcus, it’s Marcus Ahn.”

“As expected…! You also have that surname. That unusual surname. It’s rare even though it ends in one letter…

Excuse me, this is Edgar Michel. So… Mr. Marcus. Didn’t my daughter look like that too?”

I slowly nodded my head to him who gave me strength in my hand.

“Even so, I’ve decided to accept it. It’s hard to imagine life without her now.”

“I see… I see. Great, I have something to tell you two.

…First of all, El, my sweet little baby, please don’t burden your husband too much.

Give your children the same love I did, and don’t walk your mother’s path. It’s my father’s request.

Even if you treat your husband with love, consider that you need to control the degree to some extent…”

After touching their foreheads once without speaking, she quietly nodded.

“Please… remember. Of course, I will continue to send you letters… but sometimes, will Dad help me remember your face again?”

“I will… I will. I will, Dad.”

Seeing her nodding her head as she shed tears, something made me feel sad, and before I knew it, I too was shedding tears little by little.

“And… Marcus, take good care of my daughter. Although she nodded here – I know.”

“No, ugh, no! I’ll listen to you. Daddy…”

Seeing her whimpering, bean-bean-stomping, and stamping her feet on the floor made me laugh out loud as if I had gone back to my childhood.

It wasn’t just me who was laughing like that, but the father-to-be was also smiling hard with his hand over his mouth.

“Ahahahaha, Eli… El, my daughter. Cute things are always the same. Really…

But you resemble her more than anyone else. Of course, it’s really fortunate that my blood is mixed – but you definitely resemble her.”

He patted her ear one last time and bowed his head to me.

“Please take good care of this child. And… please, wrap it with love. Rabbits have a hard time living without love.”

With that word embraced by the last wife who entered, he left with a word he gave to me in a low voice.

“I realized that too late.”

With a faint smile, with his nose buried in the nape of his wife’s neck.
