“… What’s going on?”
It had been less than five minutes since we met, and I was a little horrified by the words of my wife, who seemed to understand my concerns.
When I look at it like this, I don’t think it’s really a mind-reading technique.
I cleared my throat, sipping the cool tea in front of me, and carefully spoke to her.
“… Because of Soyeon.”
Is it because of the mood? The moment I mentioned Soyeon’s name, I felt that my wife’s eyes were sharpened.
The wife didn’t say anything, but leaned against the chair and crossed her legs as if to keep talking.
“I had a little business with Soyeon today, but … I must have thought I was doing something strange.”
“… strange thing?”
“that… . I’m doing something a little harsh… I think I misunderstood… .”
As if she understood what I was trying to say at once, she narrowed her eyes and snorted.
“… you sold your body to me Is this?”
Ugh… .
I threw it too fast and was a little embarrassed.
“Ah, anyway! How did you solve the misunderstanding? , because I wanted Soyeon to quit her job… .”
“… so? Did you say you would quit?”
I shuddered at the cold eyes of my wife, and I slowly nodded in affirmation of her words.
Then the wife let out a short sigh, brushed her hair, and naturally made eye contact.
Red eyes that seem to peer into me.
It was much better than when we first met, but it was still a strangely dark light.
“… I don’t think that’s all, but let’s keep talking.”
After all, my wife was looking right through my problems.
“Well, I was talking about it last time… . I think Soyeon is looking at me as the opposite sex… .”
At that moment, his wife’s eyebrows twitched, and she quietly clasped her eyes as if telling her to continue.
I explained to my wife the part of Soyeon’s words and deeds that I was concerned about.
The wife, who had been listening quietly, seemed to be in deep trouble, waving her feet and staring blankly into the air.
This time, I thought that I would be blunt, saying that I was mistaken, but it seems that he has understood my sincerity.
After finishing all the explanations like that, I was waiting for my wife’s reply.
His wife’s twitching feet stopped, and her red eyes flashed.
Did you find a way?
“… Sooner or later, the family will get together and have dinner.”
… huh?
*
“… me too?”
I looked up at my bewildered husband and raised the corners of my lips slightly.
“You really don’t want to have a family? From now on, keep calling me sister.”
“Oh, no, it’s not… .”
Perhaps he was ashamed of his previous play of mnemonic, he waved his hand and refused to call her sister.
I burst into a small laugh at his cute appearance, and I started talking with a small smile.
“I think you will know what Soyeon is like once you see it. Doesn’t a woman know a woman’s heart well?”
“… It is.”
“And until we all meet, it’s forbidden to touch Soyeon.”
Then the husband asked with a face that he did not understand.
“… skinship? I’m not in touch… .”
“Stroking, hugging, holding hands, giving hair, and feeding are all prohibited. Did you understand?”
When I explained each one by example, my husband kept his mouth shut as if he was stabbed somewhere.
Just looking at it, it is clear that he was overextending skinship for treating him without fault.
It’s a problem even if you aim for it, but since it’s purely out of kindness, there’s really no evil in it.
I pretended not to know my sullen husband, and quietly picked up the teacup.
A refreshing herbal scent that exudes a subtle scent.
I feel like my frustrated heart is being washed away a little.
I sip my car and compare the crises I’ve been through with the current situation.
… Have you ever had such a difficult problem to solve?
Even when I struggled to cut through the S-Rank monster.
Even when subjugating the gate alone.
Even when I thoroughly trampled on the foolish rags that looked over my husband.
There has never been a more difficult situation than now.
As long as you have the strength to cover everything, a little money, and a few personal connections, nothing is impossible in this country.
That is why I have been able to live a life protecting my husband without any difficulties until now… .
… Min So-yeon… .
This opponent has no power or astronomical money.
Who would have imagined that handcuffs born to keep my husband by my side would grab my ankles?
Last time, I was a bit naive, but after hearing the serious attitude of my husband and what my daughter has done, it’s not easy to get over it.
Seeing that the husband deliberately does not reveal the identity of the child, it is certain that the ‘system’ is entangled.
Like it did to me, the ‘system’ must have instructed my husband something.
That must be the reason why the husband approached the child in the first place.
In other words, hitting the child with my own hands is a loss.
It’s my husband’s heart. I can take the time to care for him, but I can’t handle the penalty of the ‘system’.
In the same way, you can’t force your husband to draw a line.
Of course, it is necessary to firmly educate them to never accept them in ‘dangerous moments’, but if they force a line to be drawn, they may deviate from the instructions given by the ‘system’.
The only thing I can aim for in this frustrating and dreary situation is the child’s self-destruction.
Min So-yeon is now standing at the edge of the highest cliff.
Looking at the stars that I will never reach, even if I struggle for the rest of my life.
Unless my husband accepts my heart, there is probably no place to go higher.
I’ll have to meet him in person to check it out, but he must have already turned into a hot bitch.
I just have to wait for the moment the child slides off the cliff.
The moment when he struggled and slipped and disappeared over the cliff.
… Wouldn’t it be bad if I gave him a little push so that he could be courageous?

After the ‘workout’ with my wife that lasted all weekend, Monday has finally arrived.
Today is not an academy, but a field trip to the amusement park ‘Toy Land’ in Gyeonggi-do.
Arriving at the meeting place to wait for Min So-yeon, I slowly recalled the conversation I had with my wife over the weekend.
Previously, my wife had been arguing that it was my fault, but this time she unexpectedly took my side.
They said that it is natural for parents to love their daughters, and instead praised them for taking good care of them on their behalf.
Are parents still parents?
However, he received a clear attention to skinship.
The reason was that no matter how much I thought of Soyeon as a daughter, I could take Soyeon differently.
It was a little shocking, but it’s not wrong.
After a long discussion with his wife, it was concluded that the three of them should meet and talk on the weekend after they keep some distance for now.
After all, it is better to talk with your wife than to suffer alone.
It is said that one wise wife is not envious of ten beautiful women. Our Yeonhee is wise and even pretty, isn’t she the best bridesmaid?
So proud of his wife, while waiting for Min So-yeon.
I saw Min So-yeon approaching from the other side.
As she gently waved her hand, she speeded up a little.
“… You came early.”
“No, I just came.”
Maybe even shopping while I was away, she was wearing clothes she had never seen before.
Jeans that go up to the stomach, and white seven-piece short sleeves with a large width.
And light bundled hair, and even a small crossbody bag.
Min So-yeon’s youthful appearance looked really pretty, probably from the daughter’s house.
As she was looking at Min So-yeon with a happy smile involuntarily, she seemed to be awkwardly dressed and spoke to her while touching her clothes.
“… Is this weird?”
In my mind, I wanted to cheer her up saying she was pretty, but I remembered my wife saying that Soyeon might misunderstand her.
“Are you okay? Did you buy this time?”
“… with friends.”
friend… ?
I’ve never heard of Soyeon that she has a friend who she can go to buy clothes with… .
There may be parts of my personal life that I am not aware of, so I did not bother to ask.
On the way to the station to join Min So-yeon and go to Toy Land.
She was quietly walking next to me and whispered to me.
“… Did you quit working?”
“yes. My mother-in-law also gave me a bonus for hard work.”
It’s not exactly a bonus, but she gave her a precious elixir saying she didn’t want to see her struggling.
Min So-yeon nodded her head as if she was happy, and naturally changed the topic.
“… Shall I get a tattoo?”
… did i hear it wrong?
“… what are you doing… ?”
Then she raised her pale arm and said,
“… Tattoo. It’s pretty because it’s small.”
Whoa, it’s a tattoo… !
“Hey, why the tattoo all of a sudden?”
“… I saw what my friends did… .”
Turns out, all my friends I met over the weekend had tattoos and piercings, and they said they wanted to do it because it had meaning and looked pretty.
These days, there are many tattoos that are used not only for decorative purposes, but also to control magical power or increase the amount of magic power, so I thought it could be.
But the problem is that it’s not usually a tattoo.
“… where did you… ?”
“… I have a friend who drew a heart on her lower belly, and on her chest… . It’s not that I want to be in a place like that… .”
Oh my gosh.
There were only impure tattoos, each with a location and a pattern.
No, what kind of friends are they already getting tattoos like that… !
Seeing that they are friends, they seem like the same age, but it was hard to believe that he had already had a tattoo at such an early age.
When I was seriously thinking about Min So-yeon’s friendship, the fact of her smoking suddenly came to my mind.
Maybe it was that Soyeon started smoking… .
I want to believe that it is not, but cigarettes are heavily influenced by people around me, so it may be because I met bad friends.
I can’t openly ask my friends if they learned to smoke, I can’t tell them not to play with them… .
With a frustrated heart, when I was choosing words to persuade Soyeon,
“… Would you like to get a tattoo together?”
She offered me a tattoo.
