My Daughters Have Regressed - Chapter 198

198 – Well-behaved cats love stoves! # 3
Before we knew it, it was evening.
We returned from the hunting ground to the mansion.
Garot cooked and ate the geese and deer he had caught with arrows, and they were very delicious.
“I ate well. It was delicious, Chef Fabian. “I guess I honed my skills even more while I was staying at the junk house, right?”
As Cecily praised the mansion’s chef, wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, she bowed her head as if the chef, who looked like Santa Claus, was very happy.
“It’s an honor, Freirein. We all worked hard while waiting for the lady to return. It’s rewarding because you enjoy it.”
There were picky people in the world.
When you receive recognition from people who are stingy with praise, you tend to feel more proud than usual. In that sense, Cecily’s praise was quite precious.
Cecily was generally a dissatisfied girl.
“You are such a small master.”
I looked at Cecily and said something.
Cecily nodded her head, “That’s right.”
In comparison, Garot was a bit calm.
Seeing that she didn’t even evaluate the taste of the game she caught, I wondered if this could be considered an adult in its own way.
However, Garot’s younger sister Dinah whined slightly.
“I like cows better than deer. Sister, you should have slaughtered a cow beforehand. Are there any cows in the hunting ground? “The armpit flesh is delicious.”
Garot did not respond in particular.
Dinah must have thought Garot’s reaction was that she was boring, and now she made eye contact with me.
“Judas, you shouldn’t have slaughtered the cow!”
I also liked beef.
As she was thinking about having beef for breakfast tomorrow, Garot frowned at Dinah, who had kept her mouth shut during her meal.
“Dina, I’ve been thinking about saying something for a while. What is your habit of speaking to the person who will become your brother-in-law? “Try to be a little more polite.”
“Chi-.”
I wasn’t really paying attention.
Because I was also rude to other people.
But it was so unexpected that Garot said something like this that I just stayed quiet. I felt like I was really starting to be accepted into the family.
With that feeling, the evening has already passed.
When I came out to the kitchen of the mansion to have a glass of water before going to sleep, I ran into Cecily. Cecily looked at me and slapped her palm as if it was okay.
“I heard she’s going to where her grandmother is buried tomorrow,” She said. Could it be that Dad can bring her Grandma back to life? “I heard you raised people as shadows?”
“That’s right.”
“Then we can save her grandmother, right? There are so many stories that Cecily would like to hear from her grandmother Rio, who was called the daughter of her daughters!”
Indeed, it is so.
Suddenly I thought of my maternal grandmother.
Unlike Cecily’s maternal grandmother, my maternal grandmother was an ordinary person who farmed strawberries and grapes in her countryside.
Thanks to that, her mother went down to the countryside every summer to help her with her farming, and she would tag along and just play in the fields.
It felt a bit boring at the time, but I also liked her maternal grandmother.
“If you call her her maternal grandmother her her her, I, Cecily, will do her her her her filial her duty her her her!”
Filial piety?
It was my first time hearing such a thing.
It was also the kind of word I would never say.
But when Cecily mentioned filial piety, I became a little curious.
“What is filial piety?”
“Let Cecily massage her shoulders!”
I see.
It was very standard.
I sat down on a chair in the kitchen with the feeling of “Let’s try something” And Cecily stood on a nearby chair and massaged my shoulder with her small hand.
Of course I didn’t feel anything.
“How about this? “That Cecily’s filial piety!”
“I really don’t feel anything?”
“Hoo? So what about this? ─Cecile Bigi, filial piety 500 times!”
Cluck, cluck-.
Cecily used quite a bit of grip and massaged my shoulders.
It was better than before, but it still wasn’t enough to massage my steel trapezius muscles. Well, I just felt like it was cute.
It’s fun raising a daughter.
Now that I think about it, I have never massaged my parents’ shoulders.
My sister and her mom and dad just go to the market and watch movies together, holding hands.
It’s funny that I say this, but there’s no use having a son.
Pot-.
Then Cecily dropped her hand from my shoulder.
“Hmph!”
Did he realize that it would be difficult to persuade me with even a modest amount of filial piety? I evaluated it calmly because I had no intention of raising my daughter.
“10 points.”
“… “Grrr.”
From noble mtl dot com
Cecily purred like a water-soaked cat.
For Cecily, who had always lived her life doing whatever she wanted, the meaning of ‘not being able to do’ must have seemed like a big wall.
But this was my role as a father.
If I raise my daughters too harshly and leave them like that─.
─Oh wow… ! I am Naru Baryu, 25 years old! I do what I want! Naru is a master of science! Boiling and freezing points of the continent Pangea! Have to experiment! Muhaha!
—How dare you build a wall in Cecily’s path. I’m going to destroy it! Also, the person who designed this city plan should quickly kneel before Cecily!
─Hehe! Hina studied so much that it became strange! Hina beam from the eyes!
They will antagonize each other and destroy the world.
If all of our children go into society and raise each other’s shoulders by saying they are better, the world will truly collapse!
“Tch! Dad, I hate you! “I won’t talk to my dad from now on!”
Finally, Cecily ran back to her room.
Am I upset?
When I was young, after being spanked by my mother, I made up my mind that I would never speak a word to my mother again.
Cecily probably seemed as shocked as I was after being caned.
But she couldn’t help it.
I had a request that was difficult to grant even if I wanted to.
It was just as Cecily said that I could raise a dead person in the form of a shadow. However, it was limited to the souls wandering around “Abyss Land,” My territory.
The rule I now understand is that when a person dies, their soul disperses to different worlds. And each Demiurge was in charge of that other world as its own territory.
It was better not to violate this rule as much as possible.
It’s funny that I say this, but there were a lot of strange people called Transcendants – Demiurges.
It was an unspoken rule not to touch each other unless someone like Nocturne appeared who wanted to destroy the entire dimension.
Therefore, the only ones I can summon as shadows are souls who unfortunately fell into the hell-like “Abyss Land.”
Fortunately, Cecily’s grandmother, Lady Leone, was not there. It was fortunate that she did not suffer in the hellish Abyss Land, but looking at it now, it seems a bit unfortunate.
That’s how it is with people.
As I was looking around, scratching the bridge of my nose in embarrassment, I saw a familiar shadow through the kitchen window.

Garot looked around in the garden under the moonlight.
She continued to look around.
Are you trying to do something bad?
What bad things can you do in the garden?
Something like open urination?
In many ways, it was a time when I was imagining bad things.
Hmm-.
Garot loosened her neck and spoke softly.
“─.”
It was a voice that trembled strangely, like dew on a spider’s web. Even I, hiding in the shadow of a nearby bush, couldn’t hear the exact pitch.
Garot looked around again for a while.
The guy opened his lips again.
“Ah─.”
It sounded a little clearer this time.
Although it only had two notes, it was definitely something that could be called a song.
Passyuk-.
At that time, the bush shook.
Garot’s black eyes shine under the moonlight.
“Are you a squirrel?”
“No, it’s me.”
The one who shook the bush was me hiding among the bushes.
When I jumped out, she opened her mouth so loudly that Garot had never seen her and screamed.
“aah!”
Of course, I hurriedly covered Garot’s her mouth, which was about to scream, with my palm. If she screams in the middle of the night, everyone will wake up.
And the woman’s screams that I heard at night had a particularly scary aspect to them, so I didn’t like them very much.
“Shh.”
When I expressed her desire to be quiet with my index finger, Garrot nodded her head. After her boy had straightened his pajamas, she asked me quietly with a very red face.
“… “Did you just see it?”
“Are you trying to sing in the garden without others knowing?”
“Radish…” How cruel! A song! I just… I was just trying to do some business in the garden! The bathroom in the mansion is so fancy, and it even has singing sounds!”
Garot said she tried to sing and was very embarrassed that someone else caught her.
I thought that doing errands in the garden would be more embarrassing than singing, but since it was just fun, I decided to let it go.
It’s more brutal than that! I mean.
It was a strange way of speaking.
Does she become overbearing when she’s so embarrassed that she can’t even maintain her usual poker face?
“I’m sorry I’m not a squirrel.”
“… Joe, be quiet!”
She tells me to be quiet when she is the loudest. She thought that Cecily’s self-indulgent behavior resembled mine, and it seemed that she also had some share of Garot’s interests.
Well, seeing as her younger sister Dina was a bit of a idiot, it wouldn’t be surprising if Garot had something like that too.
Was Garot’s mother like that?
A question suddenly occurred to me.
“Cecily was telling me earlier that she was wondering if she could call your mother, Lady Rione, a shadow. She said no. That made Cecily a little sulky.”
“… “My mother?”
“Actually, there is no way. Although her methods are difficult and annoying, she has had some time with her family for a long time, and I thought it would be a bit wrong to just relax in the mansion like this. “What do you think?”
“…”
Garot, who had been struggling, became very calm.
Is she lost in thought?
The silence continued for about 10 seconds.
When he was about to poke her side with his finger to see if she was sleeping while standing, Garrot said.
“… The dead come back. It would be against the rules of the world. Judas, if you say it’s a difficult and cumbersome method, it’s probably not something a human being can handle. I am… Done. “I think I rejected it well.”
Zek-.
After saying that, Garot entered her mansion.
