‘Even if I didn’t misunderstand, I should have taken the time to persuade him face to face.’

I think it was irresponsible of me to tell Yul to figure it out on his own and leave it alone.

Haven’t I already experienced through Ariando that in such a case, things can get bad?

The image of the duke opposing joining a dangerous unit naturally comes to mind.

‘There was no such thing as a little boy.’

As a matter of fact, Thalia had suffered quite a bit due to her misbehavior regarding the purification liquid.

And these were also parents who were worried about their daughters.

Although this place was created by chance, it was a very fortunate event.

“I thought I knew everything about my child, but after listening to the sponsor today, I think that’s not true.”

“Ability training is done at the academy, so it’s natural that you have no choice but to not know.”

“No, what can I say. I was shocked because the sponsor seemed to believe in the child’s potential and was confident, and as a parent, I felt sorry because I didn’t believe in it… .”

“that’s right. “My thoughts are complicated in many ways.”

I guess I praised Yul too hard.

They must have thought that they were too unaware of their child’s genius and failed to raise him properly.

“Mom, your father raised you well enough. As a child, Yul was interested in research. So he worked hard to support that. The reason why things ended up like this was because Yul was more talented than his parents expected and had a variety of talents. Thanks to this, it has become easier to protect outstanding talent.”

If Yul had not been talented in combat, it would have been more difficult to protect her.

“And the good thing is that since I’m still young, it’s not a problem to try many different things.”

The girl is now only 19 years old.

The 19 years she had to live in the future were very short.

I was at an age where I could invest in new talents that I had not known about before.

“Actually, Yul said he wanted to go into the combat world.”

“We were very surprised because it was something we had never thought about. “I opposed it because I thought it was dangerous.”

“I completely understand.”

If a child suddenly wants to change career paths, it is natural for parents to stop him.

Aren’t you really talented at what you do?

There was no parent who wouldn’t stop their child from taking a dangerous path instead of a safe path.

“I heard that these days, the front lines are sending soldiers to contaminated areas to reclaim the land.”

“I heard there are a lot of people dying… .”

“I worry a lot about what might happen to my child if I get involved in something like that.”

Perhaps that worry will only get worse and not lessen as it gets worse in the future.

Private armies, heavily fed with money from the imperial family and nobles, soon began traveling long distances to clean up the contaminated areas in earnest.

Because I am planning to leave.

I swallowed my saliva because I had nothing to say about that, but before I could answer, Yul’s mother spoke first.

“But the sponsor believes in my daughter so much, so I can’t continue to oppose it.”

“What’s more, Yul said she wanted to do it.”

“!!”

The parents, who thought they would think about it more, seemed to have changed their minds more readily than expected.

“Even though I wanted to give permission, I couldn’t shake off my worries, so I kept putting off answering, but after meeting and talking with the sponsor this time, I thought we should change our minds.”

“The sponsor has such strong faith in my daughter, so as a parent, I shouldn’t doubt it. “I think it’s time to believe in and support the child’s choice rather than opposing it.”

“Moreover, didn’t the sponsor give us that advice to prevent our daughter from doing something wrong?”

“of course.”

This is a suggestion made in the hope that Yul will do well.

This was a truth that looked up to heaven and had no shame whatsoever.

“I will not oppose whatever choice my child makes in the future. “I will just support my child and encourage him to be strong.”

At 19, you are close to adulthood.

Nevertheless, in the eyes of parents, children are bound to always appear young.

That doesn’t change even if your child turns 30 or 50.

But isn’t it true that he is still a minor?

Nevertheless, I knew very well how difficult it was to decide to support my child’s choice.

I couldn’t help but say hello with gratitude coming from my heart.

“thank you. “I will do my best to prevent Yul from getting hurt because of your trust in me.”

A heavy sense of responsibility weighed on my shoulders to do my best so that they would not regret their choice.

※ ※ ※

Although I unexpectedly met Yul’s parents, I was able to end the visit with unexpected results.

Just because they didn’t object as strongly as Ariando’s father, the Duke, doesn’t mean they don’t love Yul.

This was possible because Yul had built trust through the trustworthy attitude he had shown so far.

‘There’s also the fact that the duke is a bit of an idiot.’

We finally arrived at the general store.

“I guess I’ll have to do some deep cleaning again.”

Although it came back sooner than expected, the dust accumulated inside the general store was quite thick.

“great job.”

-I want to rest now too. My wings are sore.

Travel time has been significantly reduced as you can now fly comfortably through the sky through Damon.

If I had traveled by carriage, I would have arrived at the general store as the day had changed, but thanks to riding Damon, I was able to arrive at the general store even though it was late at night.

Although it wasn’t as bad as Damon, who had to fly himself, I was quite tired after the ride.

As I was moving around frantically trying to solve the epidemic, the fatigue from it was building up without me knowing it.

If I hadn’t been an awakened person with good physical strength, I would have gone up to the second floor from exhaustion and collapsed.

I wanted to clean up the dusty general store right away, but since I could start tomorrow, I went up to the second floor.

This is because even on the second floor, like the first floor, it seemed untouched by human hands.

At least I cleaned the area where I had to sleep, washed my body, and lay down on the blanket.

‘It’s family… .’

It’s not like I don’t have family to spend New Year’s with.

When I was working as a mercenary, I even sent them a considerable amount of money.

Because I ran away from home when I was young and was living on my own, I didn’t have much affection for my family.

Moreover, they were typical commoners.

He couldn’t understand why he ran away from home at a young age to become a mercenary, and couldn’t understand why he didn’t comply with the ‘job’ given to them.

‘Since he was awakened, he has been begging me to be examined and he has been acting like he sees me as something special.’

If they didn’t waste the money I gave them, they would be wealthier than other commoners.

What if the money was spent profligately?

It’s also their karma, so I have no intention of helping them further.

The money I sent to my family was a ‘compensation’ for raising me until I remembered my past life.

Since the price has been paid in full, your job as a child is done.

He was not an emotional person who would look back on the relationship he had cut off and miss it again.

“The relationship between my parents and I has already crossed an irreversible river, so that’s it.”

At the very least, I wanted to make the family I would create in the future modeled after theirs.

Then, suddenly, it became absurd to think this way.

“I still have a mountain of work left to do, so what am I doing alone? “You’re drinking kimchi soup too early.”

I wasn’t planning on starting a family until this world was completely safe.

No, even if I have someone to follow, I will put off seeing my children.

At least when my children were born, I wanted to make sure they lived in a world without the unreasonable threat of polluted areas.

thud-

“?”

While I was teasing myself, thinking that I was thinking all kinds of strange thoughts because I was alone on January 1st, there was a knock on the door from the first floor.

Because it was quite late, I looked out the window to see who was knocking on the door.

‘A drunk guy wouldn’t pee, would he?’

Sometimes there were crazy people like that, so I couldn’t help but be sensitive when there was a knock on the door.

“huh?”

But outside the window, where I thought it was a drunken drunkard knocking, I saw a familiar head.

“Why is he here?”

Because I had witnessed something so absurd, I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand and checked outside again.

‘If you have white hair, anyone can see that you are Franc.’

It looked gray because of the heat around it, but upon closer inspection, it was clearly white.

Why is Franc, who should be on the front line, knocking on the door of the general store?

I didn’t just rub my eyes and look again.

“franc?”

I looked down from outside the window and called out my name to make sure it was really me, and my white hair was swept aside, revealing my face.

“mister?”

“Why are you here?”

Surprisingly, the face revealed was Fran.

“I was surprised because I thought you weren’t there.”

If the pandemic hadn’t been resolved much sooner than expected, this place would have been empty.

“I’m more surprised that you’re here. Just wait. “I’ll open the door.”

He quickly came down to the first floor and opened the door.

The door opened, and Fran came inside, accompanied by a cold wind.

“It’s snowing, how did you get here? “My whole body must be frozen.”

Please come wearing at least a warm coat.

I couldn’t help but worry about the clothes that looked particularly thin.

I couldn’t believe that other kids didn’t come with me and that I came all this way alone.

“Is something happening on the front line?”

If I had to rush to the front line right away, I planned to move right away even though I was tired.

But Fran took my hand and said,

“It’s not like that.”

“no? Then why did you come here? No, come inside first. “Let’s warm up a little.”

Since we couldn’t keep Fran standing still, even his head frozen, we went up to the second floor together.

I put Fran in front of the stove that I had turned on to keep out the cold, and then moved into the kitchen.

I was planning to warm up the cold inside by feeding him some warm tea.
