My Daughters Have Regressed - Chapter 193
193 – A Child Who Loses Little by Little #5
193 – A child who loses more and more #5
“Of the 27 women on this list, we identified three women living in Phrygia. There were people closer than I thought. “They are like sisters to me.”
Nine-fingered Enriku carefully stuffed her old notebook into her inner pocket as if it were a truly great treasure.
“Kowloon’s Sanchae was a hellish place, but it was also the place where I received the greatest grace. The only thing that helped the kids was by imitating him…”
Enriku said that the memory of someone helping her when she was a girl remained strongly in her mind. So, like her old self, she can’t easily ignore young children when they ask for someone’s help.
It was for this reason that Hina, who was looking for the “Shadow Council” In the middle of winter, received help from Enriku and headed to her basement.
The capricious good deeds of an old renegade thief saved a woman, and that woman’s capricious good deeds helped Hina and ultimately helped me.
The world seems to be divided into pieces, but if you look at it this way, I thought that human life is one piece that sticks together.
We finally entered the “Shadow Council” Under Enriku’s guidance.
Hina’s short journey also ended here.
Hina, who entered the Shadow Council of the past, used her knowledge of the future to truly take over the position of ‘Miko of Gluttony’… After that, well, it was the story we knew.
“You worked hard.”
I stroked Hina’s head as she looked at her thieves’ guild. Hina laughed, feeling extremely satisfied.
“Hina, you worked hard… !”
It was like that.
Hina worked hard.
It was a difficult mission that required her to hide her identity from her mother and father, but Hina did her best to remain silent.
Did yesterday and today want to show us that? She may have wanted to be praised because she likes to be praised.
Well, it would be sad if no one knew about it after going through so much trouble.
“Oh, good job. I’ll praise you. “Come here.”
I stroked Hina’s head and chin with the palm of my hand. Swish, swish, swish. While she was being stroked, Hina felt very happy and blushed as if she was embarrassed.
“Oh my, you did well. Hina is the best. Hina is smart and speaks well! She’s good at staying homeless too! It’s the truth of life!”
Swish swish swish swish-.
Now Hina’s face was as bright red as a ripe tomato.
I praised Hina even more.
“Hina is the best! Long live Hina! Arr, arr, arr! Hina Baryuda is the best! “Let us all praise Hina Baryuda!”
As I raised my clenched hand high, the thugs from the Shadow Council who were watching us with tense eyes looked at each other blankly.
Soon they started clapping, raising their hands in the air and shouting “Wow!” Or “This is the best!” They were quick-witted people.
If you hadn’t applauded, I would have given you Rasen Shuriken.
“Long live Princess Hina!”
“Princess Hina is the best!”
When I heard loud cheering, I became even more excited and grabbed Hina’s side and shook her in all directions.
“Hina, how are you so amazing? Hina is absolutely Hina! I just can’t do it. “I have to bite her cheek.”
“… This… That’s enough… You can stop praising me… !”
“Really?”
Zek-.
I gently put Hina down on the floor.
It’s just a pity.
Complimenting someone was also a lot more fun than I thought. In the future, if there is a chance for children to be praised, they should do it like this.
However, Salome clicked her tongue as if she didn’t like it.
“You should have switched roles with Naru. “Things would have been a little easier if Hina had gone to the Kingdom of Ordor and found her father and mother.”
Is that so?
I didn’t know that might be the case.
However, if Naru asks if she would have been able to play the role of ‘Madam of Gluttony’ well… Well… Cecily doesn’t really…
Therefore, the only person who could take on this role was Hina.
Salome also added, perhaps realizing it.
“They say that if you are too competent, you will often end up in roles where you lose money. Hina, is there anything else you want to do now?”
The only time left is today.
It was already lunch time.
Hina seemed lost in thought for a while.
“I wanted to be praised, but I received so many compliments that I don’t want anything anymore… ” . But if there’s one thing I want to do now, it’s rice…”
I see.
It looks like he was hungry.
We took Hina and Horohoro up to the ground.
I went to a place that was famously expensive even in the center of Frisia, where a meal costs at least 150,000 Ren, and grabbed a table and ate.
The rice was normally delicious.
According to Hina’s evaluation, “It’s just as delicious as what Brigitte makes!”
After finishing our meal, we went outside and headed to the zoo.
The restaurant owner said that he goes to the Frisian Zoo every weekend and finds it quite fun.
The Frisian Zoo was large and magnificent, so there were a lot of animals of all kinds.
“Dad… Mom… ! Look at that… ! It’s a dog squirrel… ! A dog squirrel is a squirrel, but it barks like a dog, so it is called a dog squirrel… !”
━Kkeongkeong… !
As Hina cautiously held out her hand, the dog squirrel gave a pah-ba-ba-bat and ran away. This was not surprising since dog squirrels were originally wild animals that were famous for not following humans.
Hina ran through the field with Horohoro chasing that dog squirrel.
In the afternoon, the sun is already setting.
Salome, who was sitting on her mat, sighed as she watched Hina running around.
“The kid is so simple. I just went on an outing and it turned out I was at the zoo. Hina’s problem is that she is not too greedy.”
“Is it? “Then Salome, what did you want to do?”
“Me?”
Salome opened her narrow eyes. The red setting sun shone on Salome’s face as she kept her mouth shut for a long time, perhaps lost in thought.
It’s almost time for dinner.
There wasn’t much time left for us.
I said to Salome, who seemed to be thinking continuously.
“Isn’t this your first time coming to the zoo with your family?”
“Well, that’s right. You see, my dad wasn’t the type of person to bring his kids to a place like this. “If I think about it, I also wanted to visit the zoo.”
Salome tried to speak calmly. However, it was difficult for her to hide the way she was avoiding her gaze from me, as if she was somehow embarrassed.
Salome criticized the zoo for being too ordinary, but she was actually having fun at the zoo too.
The proof was that I bought a bunch of ‘Hug Me’ dolls shaped like flying squirrels.
It was a moment when Salome was reminded that although she pretended to be an adult, she was still a minor until a few years ago.
This guy is actually the same age as my sister.
My younger sister was still complaining to her parents asking for her pocket money, and she was just going out to play and not even studying.
If Salome had been born into a normal family, would she be like my sister now, whining to her parents for her allowance and going on trips to eat delicious food every time she goes on vacation?
She rolled her head to imagine.
However, the image of Salome complaining did not come to mind.
Salome is a bit of a cold and silent person.
It was a bit far from her childish feeling.
In that respect, Salome is very similar to Hina.
People who have a quiet side tend to suffer losses compared to people who talk a lot about this and that.
“Good. Decided. Let’s have an exciting last day of the day.”
I stood up.
Salome looked at me with an expression like, “What else is this guy going to do?”
I lifted Salome up and placed her on top of my head.
It was her wooden horse that was burned.
“Hey! What are you doing! Put it down!”
Salome seemed very embarrassed.
I felt like I couldn’t come to my senses because the eyes of the people around us were so focused on us. An adult man riding an adult woman on a wooden horse was not a common occurrence in this world.
“Hey! Put it down! This… You crazy guy! People are staring!”
“Salome, I am stealing you.”
“Steal something!”
“Even if you had lived an ordinary life in an ordinary family, you would have been known to be as beautiful and prim as a princess. Then, I’m sure I stole it from you. Like this.”
“What nonsense all of a sudden!”
Pabababat-.
I ran around the park with Salome.
Salome must have been so embarrassed that she crouched down and covered her face with her palms. Thanks to that, her Salome her her her breasts her her touched the back of my head, and she felt very good.
“… You crazy guy! I told you to put this down… !”
It was also thrilling because I felt that Salome’s resistance was her stealing a real person.
This is why they kidnap princesses and noble ladies.
“Salome! “If there’s anything you want, tell me everything!”
Pot-.
I left the zoo with Salome in my arms. The place I was headed to was number 3 in Freesia. It was a luxury store that sold valuables among the high-end luxury goods streets.
Jalang-!
When I pushed the door with a cheerful bell and went inside, the clerk opened his eyes as if he was started.
“Aren’t you Judas… ?” ? Judas, what happened today…”
As he was adjusting her glasses, I put Salome down on her floor and shouted.
“I am not Judas, I am a thief! Salome, pack everything she can see into her pockets!”
“What… What!? What… !? “What should I do?”
Passyuk, Passyuk-.
I stuffed the jewelry and trinkets listed on the shelf into my pocket. The store clerk stamped his foot and shouted as if he had finally come to his senses.
“Do… He’s a thief… ! You’re a thief! “A thief!”
Beep-.
When he pressed the button under the table, a strange iron bar came down from the store entrance, blocking the exit.
Grumble, clank-!!!
These high-end shopping malls tend to have devices installed to deter thieves and robbers. At that time, Salome shouted as if driven by instinct.
“Hey, there’s a back door behind the clerk! Just escape over there!”
“Good.”
Salome and I ran past the clerk and out the back door. This whole process took less than 5 seconds.
“Judas, aren’t your skills a little rusty!?”
“Salome, I think you reacted a little late too!”
Salome and I had a good laugh as we escaped out the back door together. How long has it been since you committed such a simple theft?
Salome pointed to a store again with her finger.
“Look over there! There’s a pet store!”
We went into the pet shop located at number 3. It was a store that sold pure white lizards and cats of different breeds.
Clink-!
Salome broke the window with her fist and stuffed a flying squirrel into her bag. The owner, who was feeding the animals, was started by the sudden lightning and shouting.
“He’s a thief… ! Thief! A robber steals a store’s flying squirrels! Oh my! You’re a thief! “Naughty thieves are robbing the store!”
“Haha! Let’s run away!”
Salome, carrying a flying squirrel in her sack, ran out into the street again. Soon, a loud siren sound was heard from far away.
Since the Frisian guards were competent, it was clear that they responded immediately after hearing the report of the robbery.
I could feel the blue-armored guards making clanking noises from all directions, narrowing our siege.
For the thief, it is a desperate situation in many ways.
Pot-.
After holding on to Salome’s waist, I quickly climbed up the wall of a nearby building. Before I knew it, I was up on the high roof, and the guards just looked at me like a dog chasing a chicken.
“… Isn’t that Judas? “The only thief in Phrygia who can move like that is Judas.”
“I know. “What are you doing now?”
“I don’t know, since it was reported, I have to catch it.”
From noble mtl dot com
The guards started climbing up the roof.
If things continue like this, you might get caught.
“Salome, be careful not to bite your tongue.”
Pot-!
I quickly accelerated and flew from roof to roof. It was probably something Salome had never felt before, and she grabbed my neck with all she might and screamed.
“Ouch!”
It was a pretty cute scream.
I stopped walking at the zoo’s green park where Hina and Horohoro were playing. Hina must have been waiting for me on the mat and was happy when she found me.
“Dad… !”
“Hina, I don’t have time to explain. We have to run away. If there’s something you want, steal it quickly!”
“… !”
Hina showed a shocked expression.
But she nodded as if she understood something and took into her arms the pink rabbits that were quietly grazing on a nearby fence.
“Hi-Hi… Also… Stealing is more fun than just watching… !”
When Hina was stealing rabbits from the zoo, Horohoro was also holding rabbits in both her hands.
Hehe, imps are originally small devils… ! It means that you like to do bad things… !”
“… Escape! … A way out!”
Hina pointed to the back gate of the zoo with her finger.
Indeed, it was important to keep an eye on the escape route wherever you went.
We each held stolen items in our hands and ran away from many things.
The sun was setting before we knew it, and darkness was the best veil to hide a thief.
When I arrived home, the guards from the Principality of Frisia were encamped in the cluttered mansion. Brigitte and Garrot came out to meet us in the garden and frowned.
“Judas, what on earth were you doing with Salome and Hina when the guards came to the mansion? “I heard you stole things and robbed stores?”
Being too famous as a thief is also a problem.
Does this mean that I am destined to no longer be able to enjoy robbery?
In the end, we had to return the stolen items to the security guard and compensate for the damaged items.
Since both Salome and I knew that this would happen, she had no regrets about returning the item.
I just wanted to do something called ‘stealing’ something. Salome, perhaps because it had been a while since she had worked as a thief, said, “I feel refreshed, as if something old has been removed.”
Of course, the store owners said, “You talk about stealing like it’s some kind of sport. “We were surprised,” He said in mock exasperation.
“Rabbit…”
Hina seemed very disappointed about returning the pink rabbit to the zoo.
She thought about paying for a rabbit, but as Hina made up her mind, she returned the rabbit to the guards.
“Stealing other people’s things is still a bad thing… ! Hina… If you want to become an SSR princess, you can’t do such bad things… !”
She was right.
She never thought she would hear these words from Hina.
Anyway.
The day ended with this feeling.
Hina went into her room and brought out a large sketchbook, where she diligently drew with crayons what happened yesterday and today.
It was a picture diary.
“If you look later… You will definitely remember what happened today… !”
I see.
Hina repeated those difficult days again because she wanted to remember them.
Like Naru, Hina didn’t have much time, so she seemed to repeat her actions and write in her diary, hoping that one day she would remember what happened today.
The time to say goodbye to the children and meet them again has passed like this.
