283. Family Photo
Actually, this is it.
I wondered if I should take a picture.
I can’t say it was scary, but Deia and I were standing in front of the hanger together in a heavy atmosphere.
I was seeing a variety of unique clothes lined up neatly, but I couldn’t focus on it.
“… ….”
Deia, too, had been looking through the same clothes several times and had not chosen hers.
She just has no expression, just moving her hands mechanically.
It was not an atmosphere conducive to conversation.
No, I knew that no matter what I said, it would still hurt her as she is now, so she had no choice but to shut up.
“Have you chosen your clothes?”
The photographer entered the preparation room cautiously, perhaps because he thought there was a delay.
Deia blinked her eyes as if she had just woken up, said she was sorry, and took out some random piece of clothing.
“Hmm? “Is that okay?”
What she took out was a white shirt and a black suit.
It was rare to see in the Griffin Kingdom, but it was not difficult to see in the Clark Republic.
It was a somewhat familiar outfit to those of us who were closest to the Clark Republic in the kingdom.
The question was whether you would come all the way to a place like this and wear something like that.
“Yes, this is enough.”
Deia quickly takes her clothes and goes to the locker room.
The photographer is taken aback by the suddenly chilly atmosphere. He was embarrassed and went back to film.
“It’s difficult.”
When she saw her appearance in Deia, it seemed like her mind would not be made up easily.
Why did this happen?
It was truly devastating that my wish to become a family had been twisted and our relationship had become sour.
She let out a small sigh and picked out clothes similar to her suit that she had packed.
A suit that he wore quite often during his previous life as Kim Shin-woo. However, the quality was much lower than that of Earth’s products, and it did not look good on the outside.
Honestly, it was a design that made me question whether this could even be called a suit.
There is no pattern, and the color is dull black. It was still worth looking at when paired with a white shirt, but honestly, it was something a dance team would wear at a children’s school performance.
Sniff.
“… ….”
A faint cry could be heard from inside the locker room. It felt like cold, frozen tears had turned into icicles and hit my feet.
My steps did not fall.

I never thought the turmoil in my heart would be this great.
Before creating the land of rest.
I felt similar to when I said goodbye to the Dark Spirit and Stella.
I feel a sense of sadness and sorrow, but I cannot do things emotionally.
Even if you say it’s heartless.
I turned her body to the other side of her dressing room where she was inside. I wanted to get some cold air for a moment.
After putting down her costume, she came out of the photo studio and tried to look up at the sky.
“Wow.”
If you hadn’t seen the big guy next to the photo studio.
Darius was embarrassed and covered his face with his hands, probably not knowing that I would suddenly appear.
Even though I wonder if this is really the behavior of someone who can be called the person in charge of Verdi and North Sweden.
“What are you doing?”
I was a little glad to see it.

“Kiya, as expected of a good-looking man and a good-looking woman, you look great just by standing there!”
The photographer was so excited that she wanted to press the shutter right away, as if she had just said it out loud.
But in reality, we were just standing there blankly without making any poses, so our fingers were stiff and we were waiting hesitantly.
Furthermore, let’s enter the lighting.
The redness of Deia’s eyes was very evident. The photographer intentionally didn’t mention it, but if it was taken in this condition, it would be clearly visible in the photo.
Nevertheless, Deia stands proudly with her arms crossed. She acted as if nothing had happened.
In this case.
As her older brother, I have to hide her younger sister’s true condition.
“Use this.”
What she took out of her inner pocket were sunglasses. This was my first time seeing it here, except for the one worn by Aria at the Lovern Academy Festival.
“What?”
The moment she saw the sunglasses, she realized that I had been considerate and frowned.
I also take out another pair of sunglasses and wear them.
“…… Foot.”
Was that funny?
Without realizing it, Deia let out a laugh of her own, which further eased the cold atmosphere between us.
“You don’t suit me.”
Deia takes the sunglasses while saying that. He puts his finger on the bridge of her nose and asks her with a seductive smile.
“How do you feel?”
“You look good.”
Deia definitely suited her well. She gives off the feeling of a beautiful spy like you might see in old foreign movies.
Soothed atmosphere.
She and I started filming. The pose was a bit awkward at first, but following the photographer’s advice, the flow naturally included even slight skinship.
“Keu, keuhum.”
A large man cautiously comes out of the preparation room. Darius, wearing a suit just like us, appears hesitantly.
“What? “When did you come?”
Deia, startled, glares in my direction. I was trying to see if I had brought Darius here on purpose.
“They followed us.”
Deia’s stinging gaze reprimands her eldest son for using her usual training to stalk her younger siblings and kill them on sight.
Darius’ body shrinks, but he does not stop walking and approaches us.
Not only does the outfit match, but he even wears sunglasses in his front pocket. He has been preparing to participate in earnest.
Deia crossed her arms with a dissatisfied expression, but she eventually let out a sigh and quietly took her place.
“You are the tallest, so stand in the center.”
“Okay! Actually, there are several postures I was thinking of!”
“…… “I won’t do it.”
I thought that the attitude Darius was suggesting would definitely not be ordinary.
The prediction was exactly correct. He said he would hang on to his bicep pose, or Darius would carry me and I would carry Deia.
Darius suggested a variety of exciting poses, as if he thought he was taking pictures of a high school graduation ceremony.
“I don’t like it.”
“That’s terrible.”
Of course, Deia and I refused. Where are you doing this strange thing?
Darius looks disappointed, but stands in the middle.
“Hey, come here!”
Then he stretched out his big hand, wrapped it around our shoulders, and held us in his arms.
“Huh.”
“Kyaaa!”
I couldn’t escape from his strong and thick hands. Darius smiled brightly as he hugged me and Deia from both sides.
Click!
The Mado Camera shutter sounded and the photographer gave a thumbs up.
“Wow, this is a very nice photo that shows the bond between siblings!”
I don’t know how the photo was taken.
“Is it blooming at the beginning of the year?”
“Aww! “What does that smell like?!”
When we got annoyed at Darius, who smelled like an old man, he became sullen, probably because he was also hurt.
Anyway.
We started taking more pictures like that.
When I thought about it.
‘It was a family photo.’
The moment I realize that this is a family photo of the Verdi family.
A sincere smile appeared on his lips.
“Why are you closing it?”
“Of course! “I thought it would be a good idea for you three to do the centipede pose together!”
Of course, my expression immediately hardened because of the two people next to me.

The evening of the day I returned from taking pictures.
After the photo was taken, Deia was a little irritated because her meal at the restaurant she entered had turned into a drinking party, but she did not skip washing up.
Darius probably fell asleep stretched out.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Deia changed into her pajamas and lay down on her bed with a sigh.
Then something caught on my back.
“Ah.”
She realizes that it is her purse, which she threw on her bed earlier when she entered her room, and she whimpers and pulls it out.
Her eldest son forgot to bring his wallet, and her second son had no money, so it was true, Deia thought, that she, the youngest, had to do her bills.
“Ugh, mojiris.”
Deia unfolds her purse. Inside were the photos the three of us took today.
A pose that uses the height difference to descend to Darius, Deius, and finally Deia in a staircase format.
Pose of each person holding their sunglasses with one hand and glaring.
“Huh.”
I don’t know about Darius, but the fact that Deius posed like this even though he hated it felt like proof that he considered them special.
“That’s stupid.”
And Deia hated that specialness.
Why did that man enter Deius’ body?
Despite such meaningless resentment, Deia carefully touches Deius in her photo with her finger.
The photo itself wasn’t bad.
She knew herself that she would probably see it often.
‘I guess I should give up.’
He grits his teeth as he remembers Darius and Deius urging him to meet them at a drinking party.
“You bastards.”
Just thinking about it made me want to stab him right between the eyes with a pistol.
Deia accepted the match.
Otherwise, the two of you will probably continue to worry about yourself.
He said he had completely lost his mind.
First of all, it was necessary to show that side.
“… ….”
I had the urge to fall asleep right away, but Deia got up from the bed again.
Then she opened the very end of her own closet. A place to store rarely worn or old clothes.
A human-sized doll with no form lying there in a pile.
Deia, who was looking down at the half-destroyed doll, closed her eyes tightly.
“It was Professor Per Petra.”
It was definitely that name when we met at the royal family.
I heard he is working as a professor at Lovern Academy.
“The meeting place is…… “I guess I’ll have to go with Lovern.”
Leaving a meaningful comment, Deia carefully closes his closet door again and lies down on the bed.
He thinks he is funny too.
But.
As various wounds heal, I naturally feel this deep emotion in my heart.
Deia didn’t have the courage to let go yet.
“True.”
It definitely wasn’t like this.
From the moment a single word of confession came out of my mouth.
Deia felt that his own mind was not in control.
I didn’t hate him that much.
