EP.110 #Afterlife 2 – Portman’s little girl (1)
Four more years have passed since the war ended.
The world was rapidly changing in peace, and each person began to find their place in the changing civilization.
Some people describe this era as a transitional period and say that everyone should make efforts not to lose their place… .
“If you live in a village like this, everything is a distant story.”
Wibin of the Kingdom of Ferdin still didn’t look much different from before the war.
Danal, the leader of the Portman family’s knights, sat on a bench filled with the scent of autumn and took a leisurely breath.
I think there was a time when I felt my life was in danger, but now that things have passed, it has all become a memory.
Danal was satisfied with his current life.
The salary is quite high for a driver, and the only work to do is as a farm helper. Since it is a town where there is not much change, there is no need to learn anything new.
Above all, there was another reason why I was happy these days.
“leader! Another letter arrived!”
“Oh oh! okay?!”
Danal jumped up and snatched the letter that Veron had brought.
Danal’s crowd grew longer.
This is romance.
It was a relationship that started from a letter in a glass container that I found by chance while passing by a stream.
[If you find this letter, please reply to XX. I want to be your friend.]
Even today, the practice of jokingly responding to letters written in a feminine handwriting, which anyone can see were written by women, continues to this day.
Yes.
‘I should try dating too!’
I am 32 years old this year, which is quite late to get married, but everything is correct except my age!
After all, don’t you have money, a job, and fame?
Moreover, the other person was a person with very feminine tastes.
[I’m really into romance novels these days. Wouldn’t it make your heart flutter just to read and imagine the love between two people?]
‘Is this the flirting?’
Isn’t he just trying to say that he wants to date you?
Danal took a deep breath.
I can’t believe I’m this excited about a woman whose face I don’t even know.
No, are you excited because you don’t know the face?
Anyway, it’s good.
‘Reply quickly… !’
It was a moment when I was struggling to walk.
Rustle!
The bushes were shaking.
Danal suddenly stopped and looked towards the bush.
Rustle!
The bushes are shaking again.
A small animal, you might think, but Danal knew.
There’s a ‘hee hee!’ The small child smiling was the biggest change in the Portman family in recent years and the troublemaker of this town.
Danal said, trying to calm his expression.
“Oh my~ Why are the bushes shaking~? “Has a ghost come out?”
It was a contrived tone, but it was okay.
“Meow~.”
Because she’s not smart enough to notice that!
“oh my! “It was a cat~.”
It was the moment when Danal answered.
“Kyaaa! “I was surprised!!!”
Rustle!
Coming out of the bushes was a stocky girl who was barely tall enough to reach Danal’s knees.
With her brown hair tied into pigtails and her grass-colored eyes shining, you can’t find the slightest shadow.
It looks especially innocent, so it seems even more so.
The pink dress is one of the young lady’s favorite treasures.
Only after checking all those things.
“Ahh! “It’s a lady!”
“Ughhh!!!”
Danal acted like he was shocked.
Slurp!
As I fell to the floor and pretended to faint, Darlene Portman exclaimed, “Ho.” Her cheeks flushed as she snorted.
It was too late when the nanny and maids came running in a huff.
“Ah, lady! “When did you leave again?”
“No lady! “It’s Dannin!”
“Really, I don’t know how you manage to avoid people’s eyes so well… .”
The nanny sighed and picked Darlene up.
Danal knew why.
‘Then how can a person come out of a monster’s child?’
Darlene Portman was born with no talent.
A talent that would make any knight who had reached a certain level, that is, a mana master, despair at the overwhelming difference in talent.

That is what is manifesting itself.
That damn young lady was twisting the mana around her so cleverly that an ordinary person would never notice, clouding their perception.
That was the biggest reason to please the little boy every day.
‘You have to be good now so you don’t face retaliation when you grow up. And if we become close friends, shouldn’t we be able to take care of our severance pay?’
Danal was steadily preparing for retirement.
“Danan! “Anyang!”
Darlene made a quiet sound and waved her hand.
Danal, who only then opened his eyes, smiled brightly and waved at me.
After Darlin disappeared from sight.
‘Let’s go to the barracks.’
Danal cherished the letter and entered the barracks.
*
Darlene had many names.
To the maids she was ‘our pretty girl’, to the villagers she was ‘what a troublemaker girl’, and to her parents she was ‘our treasure’.
But Darlene wasn’t stupid.
Her real name was Darlene Portman.
So Darlin always said.
“No baby! “It’s Dannin!”
Today was another day like that.
Darin, who surprised Danal and threatened the nanny who called her ‘lady’, secretly went up to the office.
It was because my parents were there.
-Lady, the lord and madam are very busy right now. It’s harvest season soon.
This was the nanny’s request, but it was something I did not want to hear.
Darlene couldn’t wait to play with her mother and father.
He smiled and crept towards the office door.
And after holding the door handle.
“Kyaaung!”
When I opened the door, I saw the view of the office.
My parents were at the window seat.
They raised their heads and looked at themselves, and at that moment, bright smiles appeared on their faces.
“Our treasure!”
“Your baby has arrived.”
Elric and Tyria stood up and approached.
Darlene smiled brightly and ran to hug the two people.
“Oh my!”
Elric grunted as he caught Darlin.
He then patted Elric’s back, and Darlene found it so comfortable that she rubbed her head against Elric’s chest.
“So, what did you do today?”
“What a surprise!”
“You surprised the knight commander. Good job.”
“honey?”
Tyria noticed, but Elric pretended not to notice.
Usually it was like this.
Elric, who just wanted Darlin to be brave, praised Darlin no matter what he did, and Tyria taught Darlin what he should not do.
“Baby, it’s mean to bully others.”
“Jaeminde!”
“But that doesn’t work.”
Darlene’s cheeks puffed out.
The gaze naturally turned towards Elric, who took his side.
Elric smiled shyly and said.
“Hmm, I guess my daughter was bored.”
“yes!”
“Then shall we go out to play with Dad?”
“yes!”
“honey!”
“My daughter said she was bored.”
Darlene knew what to do in times like this.
“Dannin, I’m tired of playing with my mom too… .”
Just pretend to cry.
Embarrassment bloomed on Tyria’s face.
What eventually came out was a laugh.
“This little thing is already playing tricks. “You look exactly like your father.”
“… ma’am?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
“Kya!”
Darlene cheered with joy.
*
Darlene was finally able to move around outside this year.
Previously, the nanny, worried that he would get hurt, had only allowed him to roam around the mansion.
For someone like him, this was his first time seeing this.
“Wow… .”
Golden wheat field.
A huge world that resembled her mother’s hair swallowed Darlene.
The sunset was setting.
It was a light that resembled my father’s eyes.
“This is it… ?”
When I asked out of curiosity, Elric answered.
“It’s a wheat field. “A grateful family that allows our Wibin to eat delicious meals all year long.”
Elric broke a rolling pin and placed it in Darlin’s hand.
Darlene held the rolling pin tightly and looked at Isaac.
The round eggs have fluffy hairs.
The leaves were soft and full of grass, and the smell of grass was abundant.
“family!”
He raised the pushing stick high and Elric stroked Darlin’s head.
“Yes, a very grateful family. Since my father and mother were young… No, it is wheat that protected us even before that.”
“Ugh!”
My stomach was itchy.
Darlene faced the golden world and shouted loudly in an overflowing voice.
“Thank you, Milbat!”
As I shout out, for some reason, my heart feels full.
Darlene laughed and stamped her feet.
It was that moment.
“So Darlene, my daughter.”
Elric said, stroking Darlene’s head.
“When my daughter grows up, will you be able to protect this wheat field? Just like her mom and dad did.”
A quiet voice fills my heart.
Darlene nodded, looking at Elric’s smile tinged with sunset.
“yes!”
Needless to say, Darlene wanted to protect the wheat field.
Because it’s such a beautiful and thankful wheat field.
Darlene was already fascinated by this scenery.
“Dannin will protect you!”
“Okay, now let’s walk a little bit and go in.”
So the three families walked through the wheat field.
It was a day that created one of the happiest memories of Darlene’s life.
Of course, if there is happiness, there is also sadness.
The harvest season had arrived.
“Apppaaaaa!!!!!”
Darlene sobbed.
Because I witnessed with my own eyes the wheat in the wheat field being cut down in bunches.
