I Am Raising a Daughter in This Life 122

Suspicion (2)

One day, I couldn’t contain my curiosity and asked openly.

“Why do you only use that strange tone when talking to me?”

“… … .”

At my question, she rolled her eyes away from me, visibly taken aback.

She sighed heavily as if she couldn’t help it after all.

“Haa, listen and don’t get angry.”

“I can’t promise you.”

“Wu-san, at such times, just saying that you knew is a cool sword! It’s okay, so don’t be angry. If you get angry, I will get angry too!”

“I get it. okay. I won’t be angry.”

what kind of logic

I thought it was such a shame, so I nodded roughly to calm her excitement.

Even so, she kept her mouth shut for a moment and pursed her lips, then summoned up courage and threw out a word.

“At first, I hated my senior. It’s really terrifying.”

“… … .”

It was a bigger wound than I thought to hear that I didn’t like it in front of my face.

Did that kind of inner feeling show on his face?

She was even more flustered than before, and waved her hands busily as if explaining herself.

“Oh, this is the first time we’ve talked about it! It’s not at all right now, so don’t look like an abandoned puppy!”

“Did I make that face?”

“Uh, um, no, that’s what I thought…” … . Aw! Now this is not important! Even though I asked the most, the atmosphere was broken because of the senior!”

I felt like I would never get tired of watching the colorful appearance of being angry and apologizing by myself.

The slightly depressed mood flew away somewhere, and as I watched with a happy expression, she started talking again with her cheeks dyed red.

“Anyway, that was the case. Suddenly, a weakling who doesn’t know where he is from comes to his father and asks him to make him his disciple. My dad accepted me as a disciple and said that I had something to learn from a weakling. There is nothing good to see, right?”

At that time, I didn’t even know that because I just wanted to become stronger.

I was gradually immersed in the inner story she revealed herself.

“That’s why I called him senior on purpose. Not in the sense of respect, but in the sense of ridicule.”

Saying that, she averted my gaze.

I know it’s not now, so I wasn’t hurt that much, but I felt a little cute that she cared about me.

“I also had doubts. My dad is a mercenary king, and there were some guys who approached me to eat anything that fell, so I wondered if it was a similar person.”

For some reason, I wondered if that would be the case.

After the first greeting, every time I saw her, I didn’t hide my suspicious and wary eyes.

“I have suspicions, but I can’t show it, and I can’t not talk at all… … I came to write this kind of tone. I’d say it’s uncomfortable. Usually when things like this get awkward, they don’t want to mix things up.”

“If you weren’t Master’s daughter.”

“… … .”

When I replied with a smile, she, on the other hand, glared at me with a straight face.

If you answer incorrectly, you die.

Feeling that kind of momentum, I cleared my throat for no reason and quickly added my words.

“I’m kidding. Talking to you is my life’s pleasure, so I couldn’t give up even though I knew you hated it.”

“… … Did I show off like that?”

As he spoke, she slightly frowned and tilted her head.

It wasn’t really obvious, but I couldn’t help but know.

Because whenever I met her, I was always drawn to her.

After thinking about it for a while, she shook her head lightly to shake off her doubts and then returned to her original story.

“Anyway, that’s what I was thinking… … As I watched, I could see that he was different from other people. Dad’s training method… … In other words, you are ignorant.”

The training method instructed by Master, who did not have a good foundation, was to push myself to the limit of my physical strength, and then focus on increasing that limit.

I have experienced it for over a month, rolling until I was about to die all day.

“Honestly, I saw that seniors did a lot if they filled a week. No matter how basic it is, it’s an ignorant method. He was a training robber who would have run away unconditionally if he had other intentions.”

As if remembering that time, she smiled lightly, and I trembled lightly at the memories that came to mind.

It was such a painful memory that I wondered how I could have endured it.

I didn’t want to experience it twice.

“Still, senior endured the process for a month. After that, I had no choice but to look at seniors differently. Really, this person came to see Dad in order to become stronger. That’s why my father accepted me as a disciple.”

Perhaps she was remembering that time, she was looking at me with a nostalgic gaze, then met my eyes and frowned.

“Mr. Woo, why are you looking at me like that again?”

“What am I?”

“Oh, don’t even smirk. If you keep doing that, I’ll beat you in the head.”

“So why are you still using that tone of voice now? You say you don’t doubt me now?”

When I asked such a question with her words flowing, she kept her mouth shut and avoided my gaze.

look at this

I smiled and approached her, and the first things I noticed were her red cheeks and earlobes.

As I sat in front of her and just stared at her, she eventually pouted and spat out words.

“This is all because of you.”

“Are you blaming me again?”

“Ah, isn’t that right? Because of you, I can’t talk to other people like this.”

“What do you mean? Aha, like that… … no Can you explain what you mean?”

I realized the reason, but I urged her to hear the story in person.

She grumbled for a while, saying that she knew everything, but soon spat out a word in a voice the size of a mosquito.

“Only for seniors… … The sword has become something special… … .”

I couldn’t hold back a smile on my lips, and I quietly reached out my hand toward her face.

I knew it would take someday.

It was not possible to pour high-quality manpower every time to grasp the trend of only one person, so there must have been an informant who could not deceive her senses.

However, since Douglas or Scarlett are original celebrities, they have no choice but to direct various eyes, and you also know that they are subject to background investigations to some extent.

Even I, when I was under Master, was followed countless times like that.

So, even if I was caught watching, I thought it was a normal thing and I could get over it.

Didn’t it actually take about a year at all?

“why? Did you think I wouldn’t know you were behind it?”

It was as it was said.

I thought that, too, would take someday, but now it’s too soon.

Even if he tried to interrogate the informant, he would only know that he belonged to the Golden Bird Guild. In addition, if I were to say that the investigation client would be Galera, the guild leader, I couldn’t connect with me, a mere mercenary.

“I don’t know what you are talking about… … . Why do you think I would do such a thing?”

“I don’t know about that. I’m sure you’re spying on me.”

I don’t think the information was leaked from within the Golden Bird Guild.

However, I was not inspired as to why I was so sure.

As if scratching an itch caused by my curiosity, Scarlett quickly joined the conversation.

“I thought from the beginning that your back would be ruined, but the decisive doubt was because of the monitoring that followed you in every case. It was always there, as if it was expecting me to go somewhere.”

Was it something that touched her heart so much?

Based on the information from previous lives, I wrote and sent her a predicted path, but I had done it countless times in previous lives, and I had never been caught like this in the process.

But what is different this time from then?

“I’m used to having people following me because of my dad. however… … When I’m with you, those gazes disappear.”

“… … .”

I hope that was the problem.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been stabbed in the middle of the day, and I couldn’t help but be momentarily embarrassed.

I had to admit that it was my complacency mistake with him. I could never have imagined that not wanting to have her time with Rize interrupted had caused her to have such doubts.

“I had doubts until then, but… … This time I was convinced by the look on your face when I came to visit you after evading the guy I was monitoring. You’ve been spying on me all along.”

“I will admit it.”

There was no way to escape now.

So I decided to tell the truth.

It was the truth mixed with a little lie.

“I was commissioned to keep an eye on you. When he first asked me for help, he seemed very anxious. It’s not that I don’t understand senior Douglas’s concern, so I wanted to repay the favor and in case of danger… … .”

“lie.”

Why would you do that again?

As I clicked my tongue inside, I felt the cold blade, which was still pointed at the back of my neck, approaching a little closer.

“Because the surveillance on me continued even before I met you again. To be precise, ever since I first met you in Rogarden. You don’t have to tell me that that’s the reason you doubted it, right?”

Have you been thinking about it ever since?

As expected, from the moment I ran into Scarlett by chance in Rogarden… … Everything seemed to be twisted.

As I couldn’t find a way out anymore, Scarlett, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth again.

“Finally, should I tell you the biggest reason I doubted you?”

Before I could answer, the blade was withdrawn and a hand gripped my shoulder and violently turned me around.

Sky blue eyes radiating bloody energy were directed at me, and I reflexively avoided their gaze.

“… … See it. Senior, he never tries to make eye contact with me.”

“… … !”

I couldn’t help but be surprised by the words with a hint of something dejected.

Not because she was paying so much attention to what I was doing, but because it was the first time I knew I was doing it.

As for why he did it unconsciously… … I quickly came up with a reason, though.

“Except for the first time we met, it was always like that. He was always avoiding my gaze. To think that such a person would worry about me… … Don’t you think that’s really nonsense?”

“No, that… … .”

I tried to say something, but I soon shut my mouth.

It was because he knew that whatever he said now would only be an ugly excuse.

Scarlett put her sword in with a bitter smile.

“Still, since I’m Rize’s father, I tried to understand as much as possible. But no matter how you think… … I can’t believe it either. I don’t even know what the hell they’re monitoring me for, and they won’t tell me if I ask them? That’s why the sword came to warn you.”

She looked at me with cold, bloody, yet disappointed eyes and spat out a few words coldly.

“Don’t spy on me again. Don’t even try to help. Dad of a cute little brother. My father’s favorite junior. Just between that level is enough. I will not approach it any more than necessary.”

Scarlett spat it out as if giving a one-sided notice, and soon moved her steps and landed on the roof railing.

“For Rize… … I won’t tell you anything At least I still want to believe that it wasn’t a bad intention. Well, it was fun to be with seniors as well. … … then.”

After a short, evasive greeting, she looked at me one last time and threw herself down the building.

While listening to her footsteps going away, I suddenly lost my strength and sat down on the spot.

yep, that’s it

I’d rather do this.

It just means it’s back to normal.

It should have been like this sooner, but it must have been too late.

The look she sent me today… … I will never forget in my whole life

Feeling the feeling that another wound has been overlaid on top of the wounds carved deep in the heart… … I secretly kept her name on my lips.

A name she had never spoken before.
