My Daughters Have Regressed - Chapter 183



183 – Mother and Daughter #3

183 – Mother and daughter #3

The world of human beings and demons.

It means that it is an environment so scary that people cannot enter.

This great forest was called by that name on the continent of Pangea.

So, humans who like to develop various things and destroy nature could not mess with it.

Brigitte said.

“In this great forest. There was a rumor that there was a vein of high purity gold. So all kinds of people went into the forest looking for gold. “Everyone had to retreat in a miserable way.”

“I think I know roughly what happened.”

I saw a scary carnivorous plant in front of me.

The serrated leaves look like they would be well suited to the name Venus flytrap. But it was very big.

It’s a carnivorous plant big enough to swallow a tiger or a lion in one gulp.

There were a lot of things like that lying in front of the road we were heading towards.

What should I do?

While I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to ask Brigitte to burn it, Naru picked up a rock from the floor.

Then he threw it into the gaping maw of the giant Venus flytrap.

Pot-!

The Venus flytrap closed her mouth with a harsh sound.

Pot-pot-pot-pot-!

Naru kept throwing rocks and closing all the Venus Flytrap’s mouths.

“You can go now!”

I see.

Naru seemed to have a wealth of knowledge about this forest in her own way.

In the first month of her return from the future to the past, she passed through this forest on her journey to my home located in the Kingdom of Ordor.

It was a very dangerous thing.

However, if it had not been through this forest, it would have taken about two months longer for the young naaru to reach the Kingdom of Ordor.

What would have happened if Naru and I had met two months later?

“Look at this! “It’s a raspberry!”

Zek-.

Naru picked something as big as her fist her from her her bushes her her her.

Just like Naru said, it looked like a raspberry, but compared to the raspberries I knew that were about the size of a thumbnail, this one was much bigger.

Brigitte said after taking a bite of it.

“It’s delicious. Is it true that the soil of this great forest is so good that it makes anything fertile? The size is also very big. Everything is big.”

It was like that.

As Brigitte said, everything in this great forest was big.

From noble mtl dot com

Flowers, trees, raspberries, and bees!

Buuuuung-!

We saw an incredibly large giant wasp flying towards us. Did Brigitte smell the raspberries she was holding in her hand?

The wasp was about the size of a golden retriever, so its force was quite frightening.

At this level, shouldn’t it be called a king wasp rather than a long-lived wasp?

Buuuuung-! Buuuuung-!

The king hornet circled around us making incredibly threatening noises. Then more wasps came out of the forest and completely surrounded us.

“King Wasp… ! They’re bad guys… ! Naguri said that!”

Naru rumbled.

I was surprised that their name was really ‘King Wasp.’

The name is very intuitive.

“Naru, I was stung in the leg by a wasp a while ago and it hurt for three days!”

“Really?”

It may seem like I am showing off my daughter, but Naru was a strong child.

If you were to rank 6-year-olds around the world based on their combat power from top to bottom, Naru would definitely be in at least 3rd place.

Naru got stung and was in pain for three days.

This must be how strong these king wasps are.

In fact, each seemed to have a subjugation grade of bronze or silver. The upper also seemed solid.

Just-! Just-! Just-!

Perhaps because the sound of their teeth clashing was so loud, the forest became very quiet except for the sound of their wings and teeth.

If you think of steel-plated lancers appearing with wings on their backs, the current situation would be understandable.

“Hmm… There weren’t that many numbers last time. There are too many king hornets… !”

As Naru said, there were a lot of wasps.

There seemed to be at least over 100.

Since it doesn’t attack easily, it seems like it instinctively senses that my presence is a threat. Perhaps because of their strong belligerence, they eventually attacked us.

Buuuuung-!

I can’t do it.

When I pulled out my dagger, wanting to deal with it lightly, Brigitte grabbed my arm and stopped me.

“For a moment. Even if you kill them, they will continue to flock to you because of the pheromones.”

Brigitte took out a long pole from his luggage and put it in his mouth her her her her. Then he took a small breath and said, “Huh.” I exhaled.

Thick smoke came out of Brigitte’s mouth and reached the wasp. The scent was quite refreshing and I felt refreshed in my mind.

However, the king wasps must have really disliked this smoke and flew away into the sky.

No one was hurt, not even the wasps.

“It’s awesome! “I chased away the king wasp without a fight!”

Naru opened her big eyes even wider and she started.

Naru walked around Brigitte and seemed really impressed.

Of course, Brigitte scratched the bridge of her nose sheepishly, saying, “It’s not that big of a deal.”

“Tell Naru too! Naru, I’m going to chase away wasps and mosquitoes!”

Naru hugged Brigitte’s waist.

Of course, Brigitte said firmly.

“Smoking is not allowed at a young age.”

“Hmm…”

The ferry was downcast, as if it was regretful.

“If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.”

She spoke firmly, but Bridget also seemed a little heartbroken. Now that you think about it, didn’t Brigitte almost never scold Naru?

She never stopped from doing something.

She thought she would let Naru grow as if it were grazing freely, but it seems that something called ‘good’ actually existed.

Brigitte said.

“Instead, I’ll teach you a barrier spell to ward off insects. Pick some wild flowers and grass that you see nearby. If you make a knot like this and tie it in the shape of a pentagram—.”

“Ugh, that’s not working… !”

# # #

Crash, crackle-.

A bonfire burned in the summer forest.

Naru threw the wild flower barrier that he had worked hard to create all day into the bonfire, and as a result, a thick cloud of smoke rose.

It meant success.

“Done! Mosquitoes and wasps will stop coming now!”

“Naru is amazing. “When I first created this barrier, I stayed out in the Mukemuke Forest for a month and finally succeeded.”

Sseukseu-.

Brigitte stroked Naru’s head.

Then Naru walked around the campfire as if he was in a very good mood, and he seemed not to be tired even though he had been walking through the forest all day.

They say kids have a lot of stamina.

“In the end, I didn’t meet the big raccoon.”

I looked at the dark night sky and muttered softly. I can’t believe that one day of the two days given to us passes like this.

I’ll have to wander around the forest even harder tomorrow.

Zek-.

Then Bridget lifted her head high.

“Wouldn’t it be a good idea to go north tomorrow? There were a lot of insects like wasps in the south. “It’s just my feeling, but insects and mammals seem to be competing against each other, so if you go north, your chances of encountering raccoons will increase.”

Zek-.

Naru was started as Brigitte pointed her finger to the north.

“How do you know about the North? “I don’t even have a compass!”

“… Huh? You know it when you see the stars in the sky. Look over there. The brightest star over there is Polaris, the brightest star in the north. “You can tell where north is by looking at that star.”

Brigitte’s explanation was simple.

However, Naru trembled like an archaeologist who had discovered the great secret of the world, and she was extremely moved.

“I see! Naru, I didn’t know!”

“Okay? Well, these things are only taught in theory at school, but you have to experience them in practice to really get the hang of it. “I only learned how to see stars when I was 14 and working as an adventurer.”

“Adventurer!”

It was Naru who raised his hand

The word ‘adventurer’ must have sounded cool to Naru.

Even I, who had gone through all kinds of adventures on this continent of Pangea, still had a part of my heart that pounded when I heard the name ‘adventurer.’

Of course, Brigitte slowly shook her head.

“It wasn’t a very good experience. Magical tools and materials are usually expensive, right? For wizards like me who don’t have money. “I have to go on an adventure myself and collect the materials and tools.”

It was like that.

Most wizards with a silver spoon were corner researchers. All materials, tools, necessary personnel and location are supported.

If there’s something you’re missing, just place a request with the adventurer party to get it.

However, in the case of poor wizards like Brigitte, they had to go out of their way to get the materials themselves. This was the reason why wizards participated in adventurer parties.

Brigitte has been an adventurer since she was 14.

Even I didn’t know everything about what adventures this guy had been on.

However, I only vaguely know that she went through a lot of hardships.

“Then do you know how to make a bonfire without magic?”

Grumble, growl-.

Crash, crackle-.

Naru asked, poking the campfire with a branch.

Then Bridgette nodded her head lightly.

“Know. It’s difficult for wizards to survive if they always rely on magic. It’s good to know how to start a fire. “If you split a soft tree like this, can you see the white flesh?”

“Yes!”

“If you dig a groove in this flesh and rub the groove up and down quickly with something like a twig, friction will occur and sparks will bloom. It takes quite a bit of effort, though.”

Brigitte was quite adept at making fire without magic.

Rather than focusing on the fact that I started a fire, I focused on lightly imagining what hardships Brigitte must have gone through to acquire that skill.

Swish swish swish-.

During that time, Naru worked hard to start a fire along with Bridget, but although she was always good at everything, this time she didn’t do well.

“Hmm… Naru is sleepy…”

Eventually, perhaps because he was tired, he went into his sleeping bag, hugged Morumoru, rolled himself up into a circle, and fell asleep. No matter what he looked like, he was a child.

“I was barely tired so I fell asleep. Now, let’s take this out.”

Brigitte laughed and took out a ceramic water bottle from inside her bag

It was the size of a water bottle that would be given out at a restaurant.

Chellang-challang.

My sensitive nose sensed the smell of grain-based liquor.

“Alcohol?”

“That’s right.”

Brigitte heated her pottery slightly over her campfire and poured the warmed liquor into my old, dented cup.

Even though it was summer, it was quite chilly in this forest, so it tasted quite good.

“Good.”

“Right? Although I don’t really like camping outside. I really like to heat and drink alcohol over a campfire like this.”

“Yes, I remember. When we first met and went camping, we lit a bonfire like this and roasted various things. I also remember being surprised that this guy ate grilled meat.”

Brigitte and I have had our fair share of adventures and camping trips. At the time, I thought I had suffered in many ways, but thinking about it now, it was a happy memory.

No, actually, I thought it was a little fun even then.

“Was it fun?”

I asked.

Brigitte shook her head resolutely.

“No. “It was just hard work.”

“Really?”

“But I guess Naru likes me because I was an adventurer. Even though there are joys, there is only one memory out of 99 hardships.”

“If it’s a memory, is it like heating and drinking alcohol over a campfire like this?”

“…”

Brigitte closed her mouth and looked at Naru’s her sleeping face her her her her. She looked closely, as if she was trying to find something similar to herself.

Did you really find it?

Bridget opened her mouth again.

“I hated you when I first saw you, Judas. I don’t have any good memories of partying with thieves. Back then, I definitely would have never imagined that we would be like this now.”

It was like that.

When she first met Bridgette, it was cold.

Well, I could understand it because it was strange that he wasn’t cold towards the thief at the party.

I also spoke bluntly.

“I liked you from the moment we first met.”

“Lie.”

Brigitte responded by saying it was a lie, but what I said was the truth.

In Brigitte’s eyes, I felt a will like wild grass that had grown strong after all kinds of hardships.

Should I say it is the eye that overcomes fate?

An independent and strong woman is wonderful.

I couldn’t help but fall in love at first sight.

And, it’s just my opinion, but Naru’s eyes look a lot like Brigitte’s.

So now I can say for sure.

“Brigitte, even if you were raised and loved by the Walpurgis family, you would have become an adventurer and ended up sleeping out in the open like this.”

“What? How do you know that?”

“Even now, when you don’t have to suffer at all, you’re sleeping with me like this. This is your natural nature. And Naru, who looks like you, would be like that too. Naru may have 99 hardships, but if she has one joy, she’s the one who will pounce.”

When I was young, I wasn’t this cheerful hard worker. I was rather annoyed by this and that and tended to give up easily.

Therefore, Naru resembles Brigitte.

“…”

Bridgette pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something.

Then she quickly closed her mouth.

Her face looked slightly dissatisfied, like she was sulking.

I gently placed my palm on the back of his hand. If it were normal Brigitte, she would have quietly withdrawn her hand, but she didn’t do that today.

In many ways, a warm atmosphere like a bonfire.

I was about to think that it was a shame that today was not the day Naru was created in the world.

Passyuk-.

The bushes shook.

Soon, a four-legged animal with impressive brown fur and a plump body came running towards us.

That guy was a raccoon.

“What is it?”

While I was just slightly panicking, Brigitte grabbed the raccoon with her hand. Then he frowned and spoke in a serious voice.

“It’s completely tattered, right? I guess I was heavily attacked by bees. I got poisonous needles all over my body. It’s a good thing I’m still alive. Did you come to this bonfire to avoid punishment?”

It was just as Brigitte said.

This raccoon dog, as small as a small dog, was attacked by a wasp and was in a dying state.

When I felt somehow pitiful, the raccoon said.

━Uh… Mom…
