I Am Raising a Daughter in This Life 33

Reunion (2)

It was her.

I couldn’t see anything wrong.

Out of the vast crowd, only her red hair caught my eye.

Why are you here?

It was only for a moment that this question arose.

“Irina, look at Rize for a second.”

“yes?”

Leaving the two puzzled people alone, I took a little quicker step and headed down. Even without being aware of it, my body naturally made its way through the crowd like water and finally stopped.

It was as if time had stopped.

But, why the hell did I come?

I decided never to see you again, and I’ve been desperately doing so, but I can’t believe we were this close.

Was it because I saw it in a very unexpected place? Or was it because he felt relieved because he was with Rize?

The important thing is that my body is out of my control.

“Does this price make sense? A little more, please.”

Same tone and voice as back then.

Only her presence filled his vision.

I promised so much.

I will never see or speak to her again.

I decided to live a life completely separated from her, but seeing it from afar made everything useless.

No, it’s still fine.

If I go back even now… … .

“hmm?”

At that moment, her red mane-like hair, tied up in a ponytail, swayed vigorously.

“… … Please wait a moment.”

Eyes that seemed to embrace the clear sky turned to me.

Then I stopped thinking about anything. I couldn’t even keep my mouth shut even as she slowly approached me.

Finally, stopping within arm’s reach, she crossed her arms and opened her mouth again with a sullen face.

“Have we ever met somewhere? Doesn’t it look right? Am I right that I don’t know?”

I know, but I don’t know.

The thought reawakened my mind.

Yeah, I’m not sure why she’s here, but my job hasn’t changed.

“sorry. I thought it was someone I knew, so I stopped staring. I apologize if you felt offended.”

“No, that’s not it. I’m not the kind of person who would argue with someone looking at my face. I just checked it.”

At my words, she waved her hand and cut it off as if to avoid misunderstanding.

Her disposition to say no to no was still the same.

She suppressed the laughter that was about to spill out, but as if helping her, a loud voice came from behind her.

“miss! Will you live or not?”

“Wait a minute. Change it to say I don’t see it, and that won’t work.”

After one shot at the arguing shopkeeper, she looked back at me and smiled.

I took a step back as I thought something would come out of my mind.

“Looks like you’re busy, let’s go to work. I have a party waiting for me, so please excuse me.”

“Hey, where are you trying to escape? It’s a long time ago, but it only takes a little while, so please help me. We need a third party opinion.”

But as she said that, she tugged at the sleeves of her clothes.

It was nice to have such an active personality, but now was not the time for that.

However, because she was so strong, she was dragged away without resistance and stood in front of the store she was watching.

“Take a look at this. Does this make sense at this price? No, I like the stuff, but they don’t cut it.”

“If you like it, just buy some. How much do you want to cut more than this, Won.”

The item they were bargaining for was leather gloves.

Even at first glance, the gloves looked of good quality, so they were coveted by a prosecutor, and it was clear that they were attractive to her, who mostly had swords in her head.

However, it was an appropriate amount to the extent that even cutting it was regrettable.

It would be good for each other to organize things quickly without dragging it out, so I spoke first before the story dragged on.

“How about that one?”

“You mean this? oh, this is fine too Ah, I’ve already made up my mind, but I’m worrying unnecessarily.”

“I’m going to buy that one and this two, so could you cut it down a bit? I’ll buy you one.”

“Then thank you for me. Come on, these are really nice gloves.”

The store owner said he was right and even prepared to pack it up quickly, but she made a surprised expression as if she had heard something wrong, and then smiled mischievously.

Then he stabbed his side with his elbow and spoke in a whisper.

“What kind of gift attack is this all of a sudden? Is that the sword you were trying to seduce? I’ll accept this because it’s a warning that I won’t refuse, but please don’t be disappointed.”

“I am not disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, I’m going quickly because I have the group I mentioned earlier. Please wrap that up.”

I hurried the store owner to pack the two gloves I had picked out before adding any more nonsense. Looking from the side with a meaningful look, she tried to ignore it.

This would just give the impression that it was unique, so it won’t be very memorable.

Yes, this distance is just right between her and me.

“then… … .”

“daughter! Were you here!”

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out.

Along with him, she muttered swear words in a low voice, as if she was annoyed, and a large man who made his way through the crowd soon found me and spoke again.

“uh? Irvine? Why are you here? And with my daughter too?”

“Uh, what time? Could it be that you two knew each other?!”

At Douglas’ words, she looked at me and Douglas alternately with her eyes wide open as if she was really surprised.

And there were people involved who would further complicate the situation.

“dad? Who are you talking to?”

As soon as he turned his head, Rize let go of Irina’s hand and ran to hug him.

Then, perhaps realizing that there was someone else, he bowed his head toward the two of them with his face half hidden as if he was slightly embarrassed.

“hello?”

“Oh, yes. are you reese Nice to meet you. He says his name is Douglas.”

In response to Rize’s greeting, Douglas somehow managed to let go of his grim expression and tried to show a kind smile.

The woman next to him widened her eyes to the limit as if she had been shocked more than before.

“W-was there a married man there? Was it really my mistake?!”

Shouting with her face burning red like her own hair, she couldn’t stand it any longer and covered her face with both hands.

Seeing this, Douglas muttered with a face that he couldn’t understand.

“Why is he like this again?”

Then, he glanced around, then lightly frowned.

There was a little commotion, but it was because Douglas and my party were gathering together, so it attracted quite a bit of attention.

I also followed him and looked around and suddenly felt a different gaze.

As soon as my eyes met, he hid himself, but he couldn’t escape my eyes.

“There is a fly. I’m going to catch you for a while.”

“You can just leave it alone.”

“I’m on a family trip.”

“Ah, that’s right. Don’t worry here.”

Douglas nodded as if he understood my answer right away, and after leaving Rize in Irina’s care, I made my way through the crowd like running water.

The man had already disappeared for a long time, but I could see his escape route like the palm of my hand.

I lightly jumped up the building, grabbed the wall, climbed once more, jumped through the open window, and grabbed him by the neck, eyes wide with surprise.

“Shall we talk for a minute?”

“Go, go, what are you doing all of a sudden?”

“You belong to the Golden Bird Guild.”

“What else is that?”

Seeing as how well he was able to avoid pretentiousness, he must have been properly trained in confidentiality.

It would be a piece of cake to steal information from these bastards with a skilled torturer, but there was no time for that now.

“You were spying on Douglas. Gathering information is good, but I came to warn you because I thought sparks would fly to me.”

“I don’t know who you are, but… … .”

“That’s what you, the information guild, need to find out. It’s just that I’m here to go sightseeing with my daughter, so don’t bother me by spying on me like you are now.”

“… … .”

As I pressed my eyes lightly with strength, the man gulped and fell silent for the first time.

You must have realized that he was a partner that would not work with useless excuses.

I raised the corner of my mouth with a smirk and roughly separated the neck of the guy I was still holding on to.

“Tell it to your heads. I’ll be looking for you soon, so please wait for me.”

“… … What are you talking about anyway?”

“Tell ‘Gallera’.”

“… … .”

When I mentioned the name of the guild leader, I could see that he was really taken aback.

I warned you about this, so you should have understood. Even if there are people who do not understand, if you catch them right away, they will have no choice but to understand.

Without any further regrets, I immediately turned around and threw myself out the window again.

Meeting Douglas here was unexpected, but it gave me the first step towards one of the goals of this trip to the Islands.

As I told him, I promised to return to Rize at a later date after the tour was over.

Thanks to the party that drew attention, there were still people around. All he did was glance at Douglas, who had no intention of hiding his overwhelming sense of intimidation.

As I got closer, Douglas glanced around and pointed to one side with his chin.

“Wouldn’t you like to move for now? It’s fate that we met like this, but I want to talk in a quiet place.”

There was no reason to reject the offer.

Rize nodded for some reason, so we reserved a seat on the 3rd floor of a restaurant. It was thanks to Douglas’ consideration that the children would not be bored because the street could be seen clearly through the window.

Like that, Lize and Martin stuck to the window and looked out, and as soon as the three of them, excluding Irina, sat around the table, Douglas asked a question without hesitation.

“okay. Why are you with my daughter?”

It gave off an atmosphere that seemed like it wouldn’t end in a grab-and-go if the answer was wrong, but there was nothing to hold on to. In addition, I understood what that feeling was now, so I answered as honestly as possible.

It was unfortunate that her face turned red as my story continued.

“Puha, puhahahaha! Yes, it is. i told you I mean, my daughter and I are alike. ha ha ha!”

Douglas laughed and said it happily, but the other party, the other party, grumbled annoyedly with a brusque face.

“Oh, really, don’t do that outside. Who are you to say that you resemble someone? I can’t go out with you because of this, huh.”

For some reason, I thought that if Rize got older, she would be like that, and my heart ached a little.

No, our Rize will be different.

“I apologize for this on behalf of my daughter. On a trip with my wife, there will be misunderstandings… … .”

“Not Mrs.”

“hmm?”

Irina, who cut Douglas’s words like a knife and came in, quietly looked at Douglas and connected them.

“I’m just serving Lady Irvin and Lady Rize. In case there is any misunderstanding, let me tell you in advance.”

“… … Hmm, that’s right. Was it an escort knight? The old man said something nonsensical again.”

At the same time, Douglas, who said that as if he had seen Irina’s ability at once, turned his gaze back to me as if he would not comment further.

“Come to think of it, did you two introduce each other?”

“I haven’t done it yet because I’m not in a hurry.”

At my reply, Douglas nodded, then looked in her direction and gave a chin gesture.

She let out a small sigh and confidently introduced herself without bowing her head.

“My name is Scarlett.”

Scarlett.

It was named after the color of her hair like flames… … It was one of those names I will never forget, no matter how worn out my life may be.

And I named it… … I could never put it in my mouth.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Irvin.”

Remembering her who was different from her, I smiled the smile I had practiced tens of thousands of times.
