I Was Kicked Out of the Hero Party and the Elves I Raised Are Obsessed With Me chapter 7

7 . A plan to live (2)

This was enough.

My hands were numb and sweaty from touching them so hard. It took about 15 minutes to make one person feel good, and it took 1 hour for 4 people.

Nonetheless, I made a worthwhile effort. Did my skills, which I worked hard for 4 years, reach the children? The answer was fixed.

I was proud to see the children yawning in the sunlight and wind coming in through the wide open windows.

I carefully got up from the sofa and headed to the kitchen so that they wouldn’t wake up from the afterglow of happiness.

There were still about five servings of deer stew left over from yesterday in the pot. Both me and the kids prefer to eat a light breakfast, so I simply heated up the stew and called the kids.

“Guys, let’s eat.”

At the word to eat, the children who had been dozing off on the sofa until just a while ago rushed over like hungry puppies.

As I sat happily watching the children waiting for their food, an uninvited guest caught my eye.

Rihanna crept into the kitchen, but she didn’t even look at her except for the first brief glance she gave her.

After the food was served, even though it was the food Olivia ate yesterday, she almost stuck her nose in the plate and gave a barrage of exclamations.

“Oh, it smells good!”

She served Olivia, who was second to none in terms of eating quality, with a particularly large amount, and then she started the meal with a simple greeting.

As everyone else sat around the table to eat, Rihanna watched her, then crouched in a corner, pulled a boiled potato from her bosom and put it into her mouth.

She wouldn’t pay attention, she thought to herself….

When I saw such a pitiful, beggar-like appearance, I had no choice but to say something.

“What are you doing?”

Rihanna was taken aback, then she looked at me with rabbit-like eyes.

The brown, medium-length hair that he had grown haphazardly looked more miserable today.

Rihanna looked back and forth between me and her elf, then she opened her mouth slightly in a hesitant manner.

“… How can I have a meal with you?”

If you’re going to stand up for yourself, you shouldn’t have come into this house in the first place.

I sighed heavily and pointed to the edge.

“Sit down.”

“Huh?”

“Sit down, at least in my house there are no spoiled brats eating on the floor. You are no exception. What… Unfortunately, there is no meal for you, but at least you get a seat.”

Hearing my words, Rihanna sat at the far end of her seat and bit the mashed potato she was clutching in her hand into her mouth.

At the same time, tears welled up in Rihanna’s eyes.

●

Potatoes stained with her tears, after her child left, had a more friendly taste than any food she had ever eaten.

How much humiliation have you received?

While Leon was flirting with three other women, Cassandra and Maria to be exact, roasting and eating meat among themselves, Rihanna hid herself among the trees and stared at the darkness that seemed to engulf her.

She didn’t even drink water in case the enemy attacked, so she hurriedly passed the potato down her throat and soothed her stuffy stomach with muddy water on the floor.

Even so, all that came back was scolding mixed with profanity.

Leaving her Leon was waiting for her to be beggars f*cking her again. Rather than bowing her head to her people and laughing at s*xual jokes, holding on to her slightest hope that she might subdue her demon lord, and keeping her Leon by her side was the best for her.

Memories of the past became shackles and made it impossible to escape from Leon.

Her memories of her four years were painful enough for her to forget.

She couldn’t even remember her daily life that came to her like that, the last time she had a meal while sitting around calmly like today.

The little consideration given by her son made Rihanna forget for a moment the fear of her death that lurked in her arms.

Filling that position instead was feelings of guilt toward Ain and hatred of himself for taking the lead in betraying him.

Why didn’t you know? No, he must have tried hard to ignore it because he abandoned it for the sake of his own shining future.

In the meantime, Ain was the only one who sincerely approached and spoke kind words to himself, a beggar with no talent or ability.

Needless to say, the snobbish guys like Leon, Cassandra, and Maria didn’t have to speak, and even Helga, who was close to her, could see her disregard for her subtly.

Now that she tried to use him, she felt sorry for herself again.

Let’s throw it away, let’s throw away all unnecessary greed, and approach him sincerely.

Pride and greed had no meaning in front of the pain that pierced the heart like a dagger.

Because he showed a ray of light in a hopeless life, because he was able to smile sincerely when he was with him.

Although there is only one week left, if I could dedicate this last week to him, if I could be of any help to his life, that was enough.

Elia put her potato in her mouth and patted Rihanna on the back as she looked at her worriedly.

“Sister, why are you crying? Are you sick somewhere?”

Unfortunately, the goblin’s words did not reach Rihanna.

She regrets her past. Taking the lead in abandoning her only friend, she reveals all her sins.

Like a nun, she repeats her confession, which cannot reach the god she has already abandoned.

After the meal, the children sat down on the sofa with satisfied faces and started chatting among themselves.

When I heard the sound of laughter coming from behind, my heart felt better as well.

Rihanna came to me with hesitant steps as I was washing the dishes alone in the kitchen, leaving the children laughing happily behind.

“Ain… I have something to say….”

I wanted to dismiss it as having nothing to say with you, but Rihanna suddenly cried while eating and her mood changed quite a bit.

I can’t explain it in detail, but it felt like the mean feeling unique to beggars had completely disappeared.

She brushed off the water from her hands and answered while wiping them with a towel.

“What is it?”

Rihanna glanced at the children behind her, then looked straight at me again.

“It’s a bit different to talk about here… As long as you’re okay….”

It seemed like he wanted to move. It’s not impossible, but Olivia approached me first.

Rihanna’s pupils began to shake as she saw Olivia approaching.

This was a reaction often seen by people who are not used to seeing elves. There were various reasons, but most of them were enchanted by the beauty of elves.

I shrugged off that Rihanna would probably be too, and greeted Olivia with a smile.

“Daughter, why are you here?”

Olivia pressed her breasts against me as if tempting, and crossed her arms.

Her sweet scent spread to her nose again. I knew I shouldn’t be like this, but I couldn’t shake off the beauty of the elf because I had never dated a girl since I was born.

I couldn’t imagine the crazy idea of mixing her body with her daughter in front of Rihanna, so I shook her head from side to side and looked straight into Olivia’s eyes.

The naive Olivia didn’t even know what I was thinking and asked in an innocent voice, holding her chest closer than before.

“Dad, can’t we go to the back mountain to see the cherry blossoms?”

She did not expect that the idea of going to see the cherry blossoms would come out of nowhere.

Come to think of it, around this time of year, she always used to go flower viewing with her children in the back mountain.

It reminded me of the time I had having a good time spreading out a mat, eating delicious food, and watching the children play tricks on me.

I patted her Olivia’s head happily and asked softly.

“Has it already been that season?”

“The other kids are already ready. Dad, will you come with me? Yes?”

It looks like the conversation they were having fun with earlier was about going flower viewing, right?

I nodded her head and wrapped her untied apron around her waist again.

Wouldn’t it be sad if the lunch box was missing during flower viewing?

“What does Olivia want to eat?”

Olivia answered without any hesitation.

“I like anything my dad makes!”

Perhaps this is the best compliment from a food standpoint, so I decided to show off my skills for the first time in a while without hiding the smile on my face.

Yesterday, I brought smoked venison from the backyard, cut it into thin slices, and started packing lunches to fit the children’s appetite.

Olivia, like she said, eats anything, so it doesn’t really matter, Stella’s favorite salad with lots of eggs, the only strawberry Noah eats, and a variety of things for Elia, who likes to read and eat. Delicious Sandwiches.

By the time I finished preparing meals for the four children by myself, the sun was up in the middle of the sky.

After briefly washing my sweaty body in the shower and changing clothes, I approached the children who were stomping their feet in front of the door.

Rihanna opened her door and waved her hand gently as I was about to leave, saying goodbye.

I didn’t understand. Why are you standing around like that?

I tilted her head and handed her over to Rihanna.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going with me?”

Rihanna looked startled and pointed her finger at herself.

“Me too?”

To be honest, it was true that I felt anxious when left alone.

Her hands were so bad that the whole house was robbed while she was on a short visit… Such a situation could well have been staged.

Rihanna, still looking dumbfounded, moved her gaze behind me.

‘Oh, and is it because I’m not close with my kids yet?’

Elia kindly added her words, as if she had read my concerns.

“Sister, come with us. The more people, the better.”

“The food made by my father is delicious, so don’t just eat potatoes this time.”

As each of the children spat out a word, Rihanna didn’t know what to do, just rolling her eyes.

“And I hear you have something you want to say to me? We can talk there.”

Rihanna, who failed to win the five torches she did, eventually gave her one nod as a sign of her affirmation.

Okay, with this, even the slightest bit of anxiety about the beggar robbing her house has completely disappeared.

All that was left was to have fun with the children.

I decided not to think about Rihanna’s uneasy gaze for a moment and the true intentions she had in her, and took her light steps to the mountain behind her.
