Chapter Index

    Ms. Lee Yu-mo, whose last name was Yumo, passed the document screening and interview process thanks to her name and became the nanny of babies artificially cultivated by the government, had quite old-fashioned hobbies.

    I boiled water in a coffee pot and prepared tea utensils and tea leaves. As I drank the 50,000 won per 100g tea, I felt like all the waste from my body and the worries of the world were washed away.

    It was a process that could have been done by an Android, but there is always a joy in preparing it by hand. Lee Yu-mo was old enough to be considered middle-aged even in the 21st century. In the 22nd century, when medical science was advanced, she had firm skin and good looks like a woman in her late 20s, but after retiring and enjoying life, she began to look like an old person.

    -master. A guest has arrived.

    “Really?”

    And old people are bound to welcome visits from their grown children. Children are not the only people who visit for unknown reasons, but people who are inconvenient are not treated as guests because they have been registered to be kicked out.

    “Who is it?”

    -This is a person registered in the data. Streamer Hawaii. The chosen hunter of the constellation ‘Mad Man’. He is one of the few hunters who has officially conquered the 10th floor.

    “It’s Harin!”

    Lee Yu-mo consistently watched streamer Hawawa’s broadcasts.

    It wasn’t because I liked internet broadcasting. Among the children she raised, he was one of the first children she was particularly attached to, so she was worried and took care of him.

    I was especially worried these days. The kid who ended the broadcast saying he was going to conquer the boss on the 10th floor ended up visiting his house just one day later.

    ‘Are you worried about something?’

    Harin is a child with a soft heart. The worried nanny welcomed the guest.

    “Nanny!”

    “Harin.”

    The nanny smiled with a kind smile that she had learned while raising the children. This smile, which appeals to people of all ages and genders, disarmed Hawaii.

    “Yumo!”

    Hawaii hugged the nanny tightly. Because Hawaii is tall for a woman, I was placed in a manly position.

    The nanny patted her grown daughter’s back and waited for her to calm down.

    “So what’s going on? It’s not because you want to see my face.”

    The nurse asked Eve as she gave her her share of tea.

    “A. I came because I wanted to see my nanny.”

    “Come here often and say that.”

    “But you still contacted me every holiday and sent me a gift. Is there anyone who can do it as well as me?”

    “The kids who come often come once a month, but our Harin is not rare either.”

    “Once a month? Who on earth comes like that?”

    “xx and oo. They got married and brought a child.”

    “Really? Are they married?”

    Eve forgot the purpose of her visit and chatted excitedly. The gossip about the marriage of friends who grew up in the same orphanage was worth it.

    Eve, who was in the midst of talking, belatedly remembered her original purpose.

    “But…”

    “Now that I think about it, you’re not married? Are you meeting any men? Is it because the hunter is so dangerous that you are intentionally not meeting him?”

    “Ah! Nanny!”

    Hawaii slammed the tabletop. The teacup lost its shape as I hurriedly caught it from falling.

    “You know! I have no intention of dating anyone other than Yohan!”

    “Oh my god?”

    The nanny laughed mischievously. No matter how old you are, making fun of people is always fun.

    “So you came? Since I have news to tell you, I was wondering if Yohan might have the news.”

    “Well, that’s not it…”

    “No?”

    “It’s not like that…”

    “But what should I do with this? I have some bad news to tell you.”

    Yu Yu’s mother is wondering what she can say to make her daughter less sad. Android has arrived.

    -A guest has arrived.

    “Really? Who are you?”

    “Search. Yohan Kim. My wife came too.”

    “!!!”

    Eve opened her mouth. It was very sad to see him making hand gestures without making a sound.

    “Oh my…”

    Lee Yu’s mother looked at Hawawa pitifully and gave an order to the android.

    “Bring it. Eve prepare her heart.”

    “Ah…”

    Eve, who was in great shock, could not hear her nanny’s words. I heard that John visited with his wife. John’s wife. Are you married? You promised to marry me when you grow up, but did you get married?

    Eve, who was struggling with the keywords of wife and marriage, ended up seeing a man and woman coming in.

    John was a little surprised when he saw Eve. As soon as she saw the familiar face, she couldn’t hold back and cried out.

    “Crazy person!”

    “Oh my.”

    The nurse comforted Eve.

    “No matter how much your first love is broken, that’s true. What a crazy person.”

    *

    I heard that the day I go is market day. I didn’t know that I would see Eve today, whom I met yesterday. I consulted with Cheonsol while watching Eve being admonished by her nanny after shouting out my constellation’s command.

    “I got caught? What should I do?”

    “Isn’t there Gwangma’s talent? Take it away.”

    “…”

    I looked at Cheonsol with a straight face. Cheonsol shamelessly did not avoid his gaze.

    “Are you serious? Do you really think it is not your organ?”

    “White lies are one of my specialties. But yesterday, I showed my back, talked to her, and even told her my name, and I even have a relationship with the nanny. It probably won’t work.”

    “Why is Gwangma’s sponsor here in the first place? Didn’t we grow up together?”

    “Puhaha!”

    Even when I was on Earth, I watched Eve’s broadcast, but I concluded that it was absolutely not the case. Maybe the nanny was from another orphanage, or maybe she wasn’t a member of the first generation…

    …But Hawaii said on the broadcast that she was a member of the first generation.

    “Ha, ha…”

    “There seems to be something holding you back. ha. First of all, my mother looked at me strangely so I said let’s go.”

    “Haha…”

    A completely unexpected thought took over my head. Hawaii and I are from the same orphanage? I lowered my head and thought about it, but the top of my head felt hot, so I raised my head and met Eve’s eyes, which were just as confused as mine.

    “Hmm…”

    “Uh…”

    “Why are they like this? Is it awkward that we haven’t seen each other in a long time? We were partners in elementary school, so why is it so awkward? Please feel free to talk.”

    “Yes? Me and Eve were partners?”

    “Don’t you know that?!”

    I asked the nanny and Hawaii had a seizure. Just in case, I took a look at its appearance. What was the name of my elementary school friend… and what was his face…

    “Honestly, I don’t remember much because I was so young. I can’t even remember my middle school partner, let alone elementary school.”

    “Ah…”

    Eve stumbled and touched her forehead. Then, like a heartbroken woman, she asked back sadly.

    “You really don’t remember? You saved me from the boys who were bullying me!”

    “Is this a story about someone who was fat and then loses weight and is unrecognizable?”

    “No! Just like that!”

    “Our Harin is as cute and pretty as ever.”

    There was a public figure as a nanny, so it wasn’t a Cinderella story. Let’s force our brains to work.

    “Rolling, rolling, rolling.”

    “???”

    “Cheon Sol-ah. What are you saying, Yohan?”

    “John says strange things quite often. You can ignore it.”

    “It was definitely not this kind of kid. Did I raise him wrong?”

    I unearthed a buried memory. When I was in the first grade of elementary school, I was in the same class as the kids at the orphanage, so I often hung out with them. I guess I was closer to my partner because we spent more time together, right?

    So we kept hanging out, and some guys started arguing, asking, ‘Are you guys dating?’ If I was beaten in public, I would be scolded by the teacher and the nanny, so I remember beating in a quiet place behind the school.

    Was Eve there too?

    “I remembered. Behind the school…”

    “… Separate recycling station! My seniors were bullying me, and you showed up and saved me!”

    “Hmm…”

    It wasn’t this memory.

    “It was really cool back then.”

    “But why don’t I remember you?”

    “When we were in middle school, some kids were moved to another orphanage. I was mixed in there. I was going to confess before leaving, but you went to the capsule room and didn’t come…”

    I figured out what happened. It’s the story of a childhood friend who secretly developed love and tried to confess it before moving out, but couldn’t get the timing right.

    These cows are often featured in romantic comedies.

    “…But I never thought you would get married.”

    “There are also kids. They were cute kids named Ranran and Avni. Didn’t you come together today?”

    “I came to Korea to also go on a date with my wife.”

    “I see.”

    Unlike the nanny, who passed on warmly, Eve’s eyes were as shiny as a bird of prey.

    “Do you have any kids? no. It’s not something to talk about now. First of all… didn’t we see each other yesterday?”

    “Hmm… I don’t know.”

    “You even made a full statement. That’s why I came to see the nanny. The nanny knew your last name… Anyway, I thought you knew that. But it looks like you don’t know.”

    “What do you mean?”

    The nanny couldn’t keep up with the story. I was about to leave, but stopped because I thought there was no need to lie.

    The nanny is not someone you can go talk to. Hawaii is a streamer, but no one would believe me if I said, ‘Actually, my constellation was my childhood friend.’

    Sophia also told us to keep it a secret until the sponsor was able to climb properly. There was no instruction to keep it strictly confidential.

    If people knew that humans had become constellations, talented people would flock to the tower and become high-quality servants, dreaming of becoming the next John.

    The reason for not disclosing the facts in the beginning is because there is enough influx. It is said that it is effective if you open it when interest has cooled.

    “Gwangma.”

    Cheonsol poked his side. Thanks to you, I have made up my mind.

    “Actually, I am a constellation.”
