episode_0078

After resting in the bedroom, I went to see Bryn and Free at the right time, and the children who used to come running out every time I came were sitting right in front of the entrance today, waiting, and greeted me warmly as soon as I appeared by teleportation.

“Mom!!! Welcome!!!”

“Awww!!!”

It’s not easy to make me, an adult, flinch with such a small body, but after seeing it only briefly at night for a few days, I thought it was more of a pleasure to see it when it was awake as usual and decided to move on.

“Wow, our princesses~ Did you miss your mom so much~?”

“Yes! Mom, I watch it a lot and use it so much! But Bryn is a cool baby, so she doesn’t cry, plays well with her younger brother, and uses this!”

After listening to Bryn’s words, I looked at Free’s face, which was sitting right next to her and struggling towards the air as if asking me to hug her. Free stopped struggling and nodded enthusiastically with her long rabbit ears and her head at the same time, while her mother was busy. He responded that he played well.

“Ooh, ooh, ooh!”

I never thought that a good baby like Bryn would bully her little brother, but after receiving confirmation from the person involved, I couldn’t help but feel even more relieved.

‘They say that eldest children are very jealous because they think their younger siblings are taking away their parents’ love, but it’s good that our children don’t have that.’

If I had an older brother, I might have heard much more vivid stories from someone who experienced the uniquely shitty barracks life in the Korean military than can be gathered from the Internet. Conversely, if I had an older sister or younger sister, I might have been able to understand the Bryn-Free sister relationship. I could have acquired helpful knowledge… but what could I do if I was born an only child?

If you have no military experience, you will have to adapt to life at the military academy as you had. If you have no experience raising sisters, you will have to raise them as you have.

“It wouldn’t be fair to only hug one of our princesses, so shall we hug them together?”

“Yes! Mommy’s arms are warm and soft, so I feel good!”

“Wow!”

Now that I think about it, Elysia also really likes my breasts… These kids like them for a much purer reason, so it doesn’t matter, right?

I held each child in each arm, held them close to my chest, and walked toward the living room where cute toys were scattered around. Even if you come to visit me late at night, my heart is already pounding as I think about playing with the children who are sleeping and then realizing that their mother has come like a ghost and coming back from dreamland to the ground to welcome them.

A refreshing excitement that is fundamentally different from the heartbeat that can be felt after rigorously straining the muscles of the entire body.

As my steps reached the living room, Bryn pressed her lips to my cheek and spoke in a commanding tone.

“Mom! Don’t worry about your hard work at school! Chakan Bryn, will you give a kiss to your hard-working mom!”

“Really? Then, shall we receive a kiss from Bryn?”

As soon as the sound is heard, Bryn points to his cheek with his finger and demands payment.

“I told you to give mom a kiss, so now I want to give you a kiss!”

If you ask for financial compensation, you will inevitably be judged as being shrewd, but there is no reason to reject a child who wants to receive a kiss in return for giving him a kiss. So, as soon as I heard the request and granted it, Free started giving envious looks towards her sister, so I had to do the same.

Elysia, who was quietly watching everything from behind, muttered to herself,

” This is a family child that makes me cry… No. Paula will be good to the babies born between us… so don’t be jealous.”

Hmm… I definitely don’t think I would do anything wrong to a child who inherited my blood. He does everything he can for his adopted daughters, Bryn and Free, but there is no need to even mention his biological children.

‘If you treat your own children better, you’ll be nice to them, but I don’t think you’ll be able to do anything wrong… I heard Elysia is really worried too.’

Even after having a biological child, I will try my best not to neglect Bryn and Free, but I am also human, so there may be times when I unconsciously take the side of my biological child(ren). Rather than worrying that you’ll neglect your biological children because you’re focusing on your adopted daughters, it’s right to worry that you’ll turn away from your adopted daughters because you’re pouring love on your biological children.

There is nothing that can be certain right now about whether Winter and the Bryn-Free sisters will be able to get along smoothly with the countless younger siblings who will follow them later, but let’s think about it later… For now, it’s before our eyes. Let’s focus on playing with the kids in .

“Let’s take a look at what our princesses want to do and play with their mom when they meet in the evening instead of at night for the first time in a few days~?”

I don’t know what other children are like, but rather than cluttering up the living room with all kinds of toys, the children in my house tend to take out toys related to that and play with them depending on what they want to do that day, so the types of toys arranged in the living room are similar. Just by analyzing it, I was able to figure out what kind of play they were playing/what they wanted to play with their mother.

As a result of the analysis, today’s play is…

“Train play?”

Although it is not as good as what those who have some financial means can play with, there is no one who cannot think of train play even when they see plastic train rails, a train with facial expressions on the front like Thomas, and a small structure that looks like a symbol of a train station. I believe there won’t be any.

“Yes! Use it! Last time, when Free was up and running, I went on a train that I rode just with Bryn and my mom! And later, we go to Prirang Gachi and have fun on a really big train!”

“Our Bryn has a kind heart~ She came up with a train game for her younger brother who has never been able to ride a train, and even talked about going on a real train later~ What role should mom play in today’s train game? ”

“Mom’s role is the station manager! We need to make it easier for people to get on and off the train!”

” Since Bryn said so, I will take on the role of station manager~”

After entrusting me with the role of stationmaster, Bryn grabbed the little train that was standing in one corner of a fairly long rail and started moving it while making a chugging sound with his mouth.

So where and what does Free do? Just like I did when I saw my sister drawing with crayons the other day, I grabbed the little train painted in different colors and slowly moved it forward. As if learning how to actually run a train, the rails were laid in a double track, so two trains departing from different rails could not collide.

‘Stay still. Now that I see it, double track isn’t the problem… There are also specialized facilities such as signal stations and track converters, right? If only the little train with the characters on it were replaced with a real train model, I would believe it was a game for adults, right?’

As someone who had been paying attention to trains as a means of supplying soldiers to prevent them from starving to death in the coming great war, I was glad to see that growing children were showing such interest in trains.

‘It’s not right for adoptive parents, not biological parents, to decide a child’s future, so I wouldn’t force them to join the military or get a job at a military company, but when you see them playing trains so professionally… you can’t help but think about them, right?’

Even though I was thinking about other things in my head, I played the role of force leader by moving my hands and mouth hard to keep the children from getting sullen.

We greeted the miniature person getting off from Free’s passenger train that stopped in front of the station, and received the mini container carried by Bryn’s freight train and moved it to an appropriate location. Since there was no separate truck to receive the container and move it to the necessary place, or a factory responsible for receiving raw materials and producing the material, it was best to just put it in a corner.

Among the mini containers, there was a container that was moving around carrying objects much larger than itself, as if it were under a subspace spell. Among them, I opened a container that I thought had something in it because it was painted a vivid yellow, and an adult with average strength gave me strength. A sunflower planted in a pot so large that it had to be carried around popped out.

“This is a gift from Brin to his beautiful and beautiful mother!”

“Brin…a gift to his mom?”

First, I carried the sunflower pot to the veranda next to the living room, put it down, and looked around to make sure it wasn’t lying around.

The question of how on earth they were able to grow sunflowers as tall as an adult in the Soviet Union, which is not a hot equatorial region that is warm all year round and lacks sunlight in the winter… did not really occur to me. I was able to understand and move on from that part because the person who raised it was Bryn, the owner of tremendous magical power.

The reason I came out to the veranda and looked at the sunflowers was because of the fact that this was a gift from Bryn to me.

‘It doesn’t seem like a very long time has passed since I received the painting gift, but I can’t believe I’m receiving a gift like this again.’

I don’t know if it’s my mood, but every time I move, the face of a sunflower appears? It felt like the part was moving along with me. Even if this was an ordinary flower gift, I would have felt grateful, but I couldn’t get it at other farms. The only sunflower in this world…

No, I am very worried about what to do for Bryn, who gave me a gift from Mom.

“Mom~? Where are you going? What are you doing there~?”

“Uh, let’s go, Mom! Please wait a moment!”

After receiving Bryn’s call, I hurried back to the living room and resumed my station manager duties.

Mom, I left it on the veranda… I’ll take it with me when I go back to my dorm and keep it for decoration. It’s not an ordinary sunflower, but a magic candle given to us by Bryn, so it would be right to keep it close and where we can keep an eye on it.
