When Vine was young, he needed his parents’ attention for a long time.

She always stayed with her employees rather than her family.

“Are you a nanny?”

When Baine missed his mother, his nannies and employees would tell him stories about Commander Thalia.

What an amazing mom she is.

Why can’t I see it even if I want to?

When I was very young, I couldn’t understand the reason even if I heard it, so I complained a lot and cried often out of resentment.

But after he grew up a bit, he stopped acting foolishly.

This is because I understood my mother’s specialness.

Therefore, Baine did not understand what the commander said.

“The nanny never said anything strange.”

“I heard you said that since you’re my daughter, you can’t complain or cause trouble?”

“That’s natural.”

“What do you mean it’s natural! It’s not natural at all. “Work is important to me, but I also wanted to do a good job of raising you.”

Baine’s eyes shake as he is taken aback by the commander’s words.

Baine thought for a moment and then carefully opened his mouth.

“It’s true that I needed a mother when I was young. But you didn’t come back then.”

The commander bit his lip at the fact that came to him at an unexpected moment.

“I was so distracted at the time… but it would have been different if I had known I needed you. “I would have paid more attention to it than I do now.”

“well. I am rather grateful to my nanny. Thanks to my nanny, I was able to grow up without bothering my mother. “The nanny took in all the foolishness I had to show my mother, and the nanny took in all the complaints.”

Baine took the nurse’s side.

“Have you ever blamed your mother for not doing something for me?”

“… … .”

“I understand it was inevitable.”

“That is not normal. “I would rather blame myself for not being able to be by your side.”

“I don’t feel resentful at all. “I don’t understand why you’re blaming the nanny.”

It seems to be an undeniable fact that the commander would not have been able to stay by Baine’s side even if he had tried to ask for his presence.

So, I think it would have been right for the nanny to explain it so that she could fully understand it and convince her.

Commander Thalia, who was regretting the time that had passed, was unable to say anything to Baine’s attitude.

“So don’t say anything to the nanny about that. “He is someone who did his best for me.”

The relationship between Baine and the nanny was stronger than expected.

They have formed a bond while spending their childhood together, and there is no way the bond will be broken easily.

“Even though… !”

“no, I do not want. Don’t touch the nanny. If you have anything for me, you should never do it. “He is the person who took my mother’s place.”

The fact that the Commander might lay hands on the nanny must have intensified Baine’s emotions.

Her emotional changes were immediately reflected in the barrier.

Gaps began to form in the strong barrier that was viciously devouring monsters.

I noticed the change in the battlefield and hurriedly spoke to Baine.

“Vine, you need to focus.”

“ah! sorry. “I’ll focus.”

Baine began to focus again, but the wall had lost its previous ferocity.

The commander seemed to have a lot to say, but he kept his mouth shut, as if he couldn’t do it right now.

The atmosphere was good just a moment ago, but I couldn’t understand why it suddenly became like this.

‘Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned the nanny?’

I think I made a mistake by acting hastily, hoping to use this opportunity to improve the relationship between the two.

“Commander, I think it would be best for you to turn back now. “It’s an operation.”

I couldn’t help but stop them because I felt like they would fight if I let them talk more.

Baine also had to focus on maintaining the wall, so it was good for both parties to step back at this point.

“I think it would be better to talk again later. Let’s go now. “You can stop if it’s hard, so don’t hold on until you get sick.”

“Yes I will.”

I moved to my seat with Commander Thalia, who was looking sullen.

I didn’t think I could send him off alone like this, so I sent him off and gave him some advice.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself. “Isn’t it okay to pay back the things you haven’t paid attention to in the future?”

“… … .”

Looking at the commander who didn’t respond to anything I said, I sighed softly and continued.

“How about we have an open conversation after this is over?”

“conversation? “Will anything change if we talk about it?”

“I’m sure there will be. “If you don’t do anything, nothing will change, but if you try something, possibilities arise.”

What is needed to resolve the twisted relationship between two mothers and daughters is ‘conversation’.

Since they are currently carrying out an important operation to end the monster wave, they have no choice but to postpone it, but after talking, the relationship between the mother and daughter will become much closer.

“I think we need to find out more about what she said.”

“I think it’s best not to mess with the nanny. “It seems that the relationship between Baine and the nanny is closer than I thought, but it seems like if I mess with them for no reason, it will have the opposite effect.”

“Are you saying we should just leave him alone?”

“I think it would be better to take your time and approach it slowly. In fact, it is natural for Vine to do that. “Didn’t you have all the bond you had with the Commander when you were young with your nanny?”

“… “Even so, in the end, we are strangers who are not related by blood.”

“There is a saying that blood is thicker than water, but you should not ignore the affection you have cultivated.”

I sigh deeply, probably because my words made me think more.

“It’s complicated. I never imagined that I would bump into my daughter like this. “He was always a kind and obedient child.”

“Isn’t it time to become an adult?”

If Commander Thalia had hoped to have a greater influence on Baine, she should have intervened when she was still a minor growing up.

“Now that I am an adult and should be on my own, I am embarrassed to suddenly be interrupted. Baine is past the age where he needs to rely on anyone.”

Baine is now at the age where he needs to become independent.

“Please treat Baine like a saint. Try to protect them, don’t try to protect them. “I’ll say it again, it’s already past time for Baine to do that.”

“I have no intention of sending my child away yet, so what do you mean by independence?”

That’s basically what children are like to their parents.

Even if you become a wrinkly grandmother, you will still look like an infinitely cute baby in her eyes.

However, Baine hopes to be a trustworthy daughter to Commander Thalia.

It’s not that I want to be protected.

“Baine wants to be recognized by the Commander. So the more you try to protect them, the more your relationship will break down.”

The commander, who was listening carefully to my story, suddenly said something strange.

“… “Do you have a special relationship with my daughter?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Not at all.”

“You can’t help but have doubts, right? “You’ve been acting like you’ve been in my child’s mind for a while now.”

The reason I know everything about Baine is because I saw her future in the game.

“It’s not like that, so don’t worry.”

“I’ve never been worried. It’s not bad to have a reliable man like you by your side. “I think it’s still too early for you to become a son-in-law, so how about we meet casually?”

You’re putting together a black man and a child who is about to turn 20?

Rebecca and Fran alone are hard to handle.

But you want to add Baine, whose mother is Commander Thalia?

“I politely decline.”

“What’s wrong with my daughter!”

“yes? “No, do you mean me and Baine?”

“Why doesn’t it make sense? And my daughter has to own the car too! “You just stay still.”

I firmly denied it because I felt like I couldn’t stay still.

“There is absolutely no possibility in the first place.”

“Originally, women fall for men who are by their side in the most difficult times. A person who speaks well just like you!”

So no.

The commander held me for a long time and tried to tie me up with Baine.

I don’t understand how I got caught up in such nonsense.

After barely getting out of the way to the commander, I was completely exhausted.

But my hardships did not end there.

When I returned to the kids, Baine sat down next to me and started complaining.

“At first, I was fooled by the boss’ lies. There’s no way my mother would do that. “Now that you’ve come here, why are you suddenly tripping over the nanny?”

“I really meant to compliment you. “Everything you said earlier was true.”

“I can’t believe it. If you wanted to compliment someone, you could just say that and leave. I mean, he’s not really a talkative person. “It’s very suspicious that you’re adding unnecessary words.”

“You’re just so amazing, and you seem stronger than you imagined, so you’re embarrassed. “It’s true that there was no conversation between the two.”

I used my tongue again to see Baine, who couldn’t shake off his doubts.

‘ah… I’m so tired.’

The fact that I have somehow become involved in a complicated matter really hits me.

Should I just not have gotten involved in whether or not the two of them were fighting?

‘No. Then what if I ruin the scenario?’

I raised him so well, but it would be very unfair if I messed up the character scenario and couldn’t raise the main stat SSS.

“But is it okay to chat like this? “Shouldn’t we have been focusing on maintaining the wall?”

“Now that I’ve maintained it for a long time, I’m starting to understand how to maintain it comfortably. Now I almost don’t have to worry about it. “Other people are helping.”

It was Vine who calmly said things that would have made other people laugh out loud because they were so absurd.

“Moreover, there is this child.”

Baine laughs and raises his magic wand.

“Thanks to you for building the wall, many soldiers are safe and unharmed.”

“…It feels good to be praised by the boss. “I feel proud.”

Still, it will be less than the praise I received from the commander.

One compliment from the commander would be more meaningful to her than a hundred compliments from me.

“What the commander said was sincere. I made a mistake because I was not used to expressing myself and was clumsy. “Be sure to have an open conversation with the commander after this operation is over.”

There are probably many misunderstandings about each other.

In particular, I hope you know that the Commander is more interested in you than you think.

“well. Wouldn’t the more we talk, the worse the situation will get? “I think it would be better not to do that.”

“Why are you scared of something that hasn’t happened? “You said you respect your mother.”

“I think respecting and understanding are a bit different.”

Baine shook his head.

“She is my mother, but she is not a good person to talk to. “He has a rough temperament, and he’s used to having others do whatever he wants, so he’s even authoritative.”

“Uhm…”

I think the Commander’s mind will be quite dizzy if he hears his daughter’s factual assault.

“Don’t you think it would be better for both of us if we just kept our distance like this?”

And what Baine said next was like a bolt from the blue for me, who had to get through the scenario safely.
