My Daughters Have Regressed - Chapter 194
194 – A Child Who Loses Little by Little #6
194 – A child who loses little by little # 6
“Ah, this Horohoro is a tagger… ! Everyone hides or runs away… ! I’m going to count to 50 seconds and hold on… !”
“Mmm, imps are just a subspecies of nymphs… This is what Sifnoi shows… !”
“Oh wow…! Cecily, let’s hide quickly!”
“It’s already past midnight. Don’t you know that young children need to sleep well? “Playing hide and seek this late at night.”
The last day to spend time with Hina and Salome.
Hina said she wanted to play hide and seek with everyone inside her mansion before she went to sleep. It was a game in which both children and adults participated.
The children had more stamina than expected, and it wasn’t until 1 a.M., Past midnight, that they finally got tired and went into bed.
A very large and spacious bed.
Seeing all the children lying down together reminded me of squirrels curled up in a narrow cave to escape the cold.
“Horohoro… , Try that again. That… !”
Hina, who was lying down looking at the ceiling, spoke to Horo who was sitting next to her. Horohoro hid under the blanket as if he remembered something.
Soon, children like Naru and Cecily also got into the blanket together.
What happens inside the big blanket?
“This is what you see… ! It’s Horohoro’s glow-in-the-dark tail… !”
Paat-.
A bright light was visible beyond the blanket. It is said that the tails of imps sometimes glow dazzlingly, so that may have been the case.
“Shh… ! It shines so brightly!”
“… A very bright and beautiful light… Ah, fuck! It’s dazzling… !”
“… Hehe.”
After each child made a fuss, the light in the tail under the blanket lost its power.
Saegeun, Saegeun-.
Before we knew it, Cecily and Naru had fallen asleep, lying in each other’s arms. You must be exhausted because you lost all your stamina while playing hide and seek.
However, Hina and Horohoro did not fall asleep and were looking at the luminous star stickers on the ceiling.
“Horohoro, did you have fun today?”
Hina asked.
Then Horohoro answered without hesitation, “Yes!”
However, he added the words carefully as if he had something to point out.
“It would have been Hina and her mom and dad’s time, but wouldn’t Horohoro have stepped in and gotten in the way? Well, I’m a little sorry… !”
I see.
Have you been paying attention knowingly or unknowingly?
Aside from the fact that Horohoro used the yard and pound method, he was a very nice imp, so Salome and I didn’t mind him accompanying us.
Rather, she felt a little more comfortable taking care of Hina because she had a friend of similar age.
If we let the two of us play in a place like a park, Salome and I could naturally relax.
Kkook-.
Hina hugged Horohoro like her doll under the blanket.
“… You don’t have to be sorry! Hina had fun today too… ! But for the time being, there may not be much fun like today… For about 6 years…”
6 years.
It was a fairly specific number.
Hina knows better than anyone that she needs time until she grows up again and she can play with Horohoro.
“Are you okay! Hehe, waiting is a good thing! The Great Gluttonous Maiden also asked Horohoro to wait! She said that if she waited a little longer, she would have a lot of friends and she would be able to eat a warm meal in a warm place! “Horohoro, I waited patiently, and just like the shaman said, I actually made a lot of friends!”
“… Yes, yes.”
“But it might be a little boring… ! Hina, I hope you grow up quickly! So I’m looking for a big shaman like Horohoro…”
Cool cool-.
Horohoro said to be a young imp, just like his youthful appearance.
Perhaps that’s why he couldn’t bear her drowsiness and fell asleep while she was talking. When all her children went to sleep, she yawned loudly, as if Hina was sleepy too.
It’s already two in the morning.
For me, a thief, it was like daylight, but for Hina, who was only 6 years old, it was time for her eyelids to become as heavy as metal.
Zek-.
But Hina didn’t fall asleep and got out of bed.
When I wondered if she wanted to drink water, she came up to me and Salome and hugged each of us by the waist, as if she was somehow embarrassed.
“Mom and dad… Had a hard day today… I did it… !”
I see.
Hina was a deeper child than she thought.
Cool cool-.
Before we knew it, Hina had headed to her children’s dreamland.
When I looked at the children sleeping peacefully, the world seemed so peaceful and my heart felt a little warm, like spring.
“I don’t think the kids are tired. “After running around all day, I finally fell asleep.”
Salome, who was quietly watching her children, stroked Hina’s hair with her hand. Of course, she said, “Grrr… ” As if to tell Hina not to touch her while she’s sleeping. .” She said angrily.
Salome smiled at that sight.
“Look at him. He’s usually calm, but if I pet him while he sleeps like this, he always gets angry. Why is it like that?”
“Why are you doing that?”
Originally, I didn’t mean to touch it while I was sleeping.
I also got angry if my mom or dad talked to me while I was sleeping.
Maybe he looks like me.
“Nooooo-.”
Salome stretched her legs as she walked around all day today. She must have been tired, too, since she had a lot to do yesterday and today.
But Salome hesitated, as if she felt bad about falling asleep right away.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
Originally, my time with Salome lasted until midnight.
But neither she nor Salome were people who could strictly keep such time. If she had followed the rules, she wouldn’t have become a thief in the first place.
“Well, I don’t really have anything I want to say. I just thought it would be a shame to fall asleep like this. Judas, is something like that possible?”
Whisper whisper-.
Salome whispered something in my ear.
It was quite an interesting story.
“I don’t think it would be impossible. Couldn’t she just ask Astarosa? “That guy is getting a lot of things from my house, so he’ll listen if you ask him.”
We visited Astarosa’s room.
Astarosa, who became the Great Devil, was reading a book. It was a literary book taken from the modern society of the 21st century.
He closed the book and asked us.
“Why?”
“Is something like this possible?”
Whisper whisper.
I whispered into Astarosa’s ear.
Of course, Astarosa frowned as if she didn’t understand.
“Did you just say ‘whisper’ in my ear?”
“Yes.”
Gugit.
Garot’s younger sister frowning.
It’s more fun to tease than Garot.
Is this the joy of having a sister-in-law?
“It’s a joke. The real thing is this. Dina, you are something like a dream, right?”
“What… That’s right.”
Dina Astarosa was a dreamlike being.
I am quite an expert when it comes to dealing with dreams.
We asked Dinah a small favor and she nodded her head willingly.
“That’s about it.”

When I opened my eyes, I was standing in the alley behind her.
It was a back alley I had never seen before.
I was surprised because the wall was unusually high, but when I looked closely, I realized that I was small rather than the wall being high.
My arms were shorter and my legs were shorter too.
The thin arms without steel-like muscles were quite unfamiliar, but surprisingly, the body felt lighter.
“Is it a dream?”
I realized that this world was a dream.
This was a kind of dream world created at the request of Dina.
As I was looking at this and that in amazement, thinking that it was really well-realized, something fell on the floor near me.
It’s a stone.
When I turned her head, I saw a girl standing on the wall looking down at me. Is he about 6 years old?
Her long pink hair reminded me of Hina, but it wasn’t Hina.
Her face was a little more confident.
“It’s Salome.”
“Are you Judas? “You look more innocent than I thought.”
“Of course. At that time, I was just following the skirt of my kindergarten teacher like a duck.”
We returned to the age of 6 in our dreams.
The world was much bigger than I thought, and there were a lot of things that seemed interesting.
“Let’s go!”
Six-year-old Salome pulled my hand.
I ran down the alley behind her.
Salome taught me how to catch rats in her alley.
She also taught us how to catch a cat by catching a mouse and tying its tail with a string.
“It’s fun.”
“Right?”
The feeling of returning to childhood.
If Salome and I had spent our childhood together, would every day have been like this?
“Judas, I’ll teach you how to climb over the wall.”
“To me?”
I thought climbing over the wall would be easy for me. However, climbing over the wall with a 6-year-old body was much more difficult than I expected.
Was the garden wall of a noble house this high?
“What, you can’t even get over a wall like this? You’re a complete idiot. Come up quickly before people catch you. “I’ll give you my hand.”
Zek-.
Salome stood on the garden wall and stretched out her hand to me. I held on to her arm and went up to someone’s garden, and this trivial action was so thrilling that it gave me a thrill.
I felt like I was back in time when I first did something bad.
The level of immersion in dreams is the best.
Does Salome feel that way too?
Salome grabbed a stone from the garden and threw it at a window of the mansion.
Hwii, clang-!
From noble mtl dot com
Someone screamed along with the sound of a window breaking.
“Ouch! What! Who is this! “Someone threw a rock!”
The second-floor window of the strange-looking mansion opened and someone appeared. It was a girl with dark blue hair.
Could that be Brigitte?
“I was barely focused on studying science. There are really too many spoiled people. I have final exams soon… Finals… ? Huh? What? Where am I?”
Six-year-old Brigitte looked slightly panicked as she looked around. Salome looked at that and laughed like a villain.
“Let’s go!”
Soon Salome tugged my arm again. Thanks to that, we had no choice but to cause a small disturbance in the grass where we were hiding, and we were eventually caught by Brigitte.
“What, you know Salome and Judas? Why do you look so young… ? Young… Huh? What? What! Hey! You guys out there! Don’t you stand there? What on earth is going on? Hey! Stop!”
Seeing an angry Brigitte chasing me made my heart pound and was even scary. She really felt like she was playing tag back in her childhood.
“Let’s hide here!”
Pot-.
Salome entered her alley and pointed with her finger to her empty oak barrel.
Salome and I entered the oak barrel, struggling, and looked outside through the grooves made in the old barrel.
“Where have you gone! Hey! What is this you guys! What kind of dream is this! Did you go around here? “I know where you are!”
Brigitte wandered around the oak barrel we were hiding in.
A quite tense moment.
Little Salome held my hand tightly, and I held Salome’s hand tightly too. Little Salome’s hands were hotter than the adult Salome’s hands that I remembered.
“Shh… “You can’t even breathe.”
I held my breath at Salome’s point.
10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds.
Finally, when her heart felt like it was about to burst, Brigitte’s figure disappeared into the distance and I was barely able to get out of the oak barrel and catch my breath.
“Whoa.”
“Stupid idiot Brigitte!”
