chapter 9
9 – one hundred
“Ooh, uh… … !!”
“Be quiet.”
I ate really badly.
Half of the milk in the bowl splashed not on his mouth, but on his face and body, so it would be more accurate to say it was noisy. Above all, what is the way to eat it?
Even her carefully washed and dried hair was drenched in milk and drooped down. When I see it, for some reason, I smile.
“Oooh… !!”
It makes a lot of noise even though it doesn’t give much power.
The emotions that had been blunted while absorbing the essence react little by little only to this little guy in front of me. An insignificant and cute guy. Maybe it’s just an expression referring to this guy.
I rubbed the overreacting guy’s face with a towel and moved the magic around me. The mana that moved in that way became a warm wind that embraced a slight fever, and it soon enveloped the little guy’s whole body.
“… … ?”
The guy also stopped making noise as if he felt something. But you can’t see it because your face is covered.
The wind soon dissipates into the air, taking with it the clothes and hair it was carrying. His wet hair and my shirt felt dry again.
Only then did I remove the towel from his face.
“Paha… … ?”
I let out a small breath and his eyes follow me. And then head back to the floor.
The boy who had been noisy a moment ago quickly calmed down. The shaking legs also stopped. It made me realize that this little guy is more conscious of me than I thought.
I don’t have the slightest desire to get angry.
But you don’t have to put it into words.
I slung a wet towel over my shoulders and bent my knees. Just enough to see eye to eye with this guy.
The guy’s eyes, which were looking down, rolled and glanced at me again. It is the reaction of a young child who is not young.
I moved my hand. to rise from the bottom up. The hand that moved like that gently wrapped around the small hand of the guy who was holding the spoon in the state where I first held it.
“This is how you hold it.”
“Yes.”
I fixed the way to hold it, so this time it’s the way to eat it.
I slowly reach my hand over the bowl and recall the last few grains of cereal.
“Open your mouth.”
“Ah~”
Insert it into your slightly open mouth.
The warmth from the shower was still there, and the red cheeks moved.
He let go of the hand that was wrapped around him.
“You don’t have to rush to eat here.”
“… … What is haste?”
from there.
“hurry. It means you don’t have to eat like you just did. Because no one steals it. slowly. without having to look. Chew thoroughly and swallow. Do you understand?”
“yes. slowly.”
“yes. slowly. Let me eat it myself.”
As I straightened my bent knees and back, he briefly looked at me and the spoon.
Swoop.
I held the spoon I had fixed so far to its original awkward position. Then he started eating the cereal as it was.
‘what… … I’ll just have to fix it step by step.’
I know what a nursery school is like.
However, only fragmentary parts.
What kind of environment did that little guy grow up in there?
don’t know anything To be precise, it was never even mentioned in the game.
‘Although I can roughly predict it.’

Regardless of age. One day, the ability suddenly blooms. That’s what an Awakener is. However, according to statistics, extreme circumstances and strong will. Or, the more you harbor a desire, the more special it is. And even though they are of the same class, they are said to awaken the ability to produce stronger power.
I can’t say for sure that that’s true. Even the gods in the sky don’t know that.
“Damn it.”
The guy who emptied the bowl in an instant spits out a cute belch and flicks his lips with his tongue.
“If it’s not enough, I’ll prepare more.”
“I’m full.”
As he put the spoon down, he stroked his slightly swollen belly. I don’t think I ate too much.
“Ahhhhh… … .”
The guy who looked energetic just a moment ago suddenly opens his mouth wide with sleepy eyes and then closes it. I dozed off when I arrived.
After warming up in warm water and getting full, it seems that sleepiness is coming back. There are many things I want to say and many things I want to ask, but nothing is urgent.
I thrust my hand into the armpit of the guy sitting on the chair and lifted it up.
“Eh?”
“Be quiet.”
Every time I walked, the guy’s body swayed and swayed, and I laughed a little.
The bathroom where I arrived with this little guy. There is only one washstand here, so of course you have to brush your teeth here.
‘I don’t know why a toothbrush is prepared for a body that doesn’t even eat.’
I asked while holding the guy.
“You know how to brush your teeth.”
“yes. Know.”
“yes.”
I took out the toothbrush hanging next to the mirror and held it in his hand.
“big.”
“Because it’s for adults.”
“Adult!!”
When I was looking at the toothbrush with twinkling eyes, I applied toothpaste on it. The funny thing is that this is also strawberry flavor.
“Oh~”
“for a moment.”
“… … ?”
He said it as if to warn the guy who was about to put the toothbrush in his mouth.
“Do not swallow. That’s not eating.”
“I know. toothpaste is tasteless Spicy.”
“… … Even if it is sweet, do not swallow it.”
“Sweet?”
He stared at me through the mirror and then quietly put the toothbrush in his mouth. And the slightly sleepy eyes open wide.
gulp-
With a sound that shouldn’t be heard, the little boy’s neck wriggles once.
“I would have told you not to swallow it.”
“Bueee!!”
He squeezed both cheeks and took the toothbrush away. Then I applied toothpaste again and brushed my teeth by hand.
“Aww, wooo,”
That is, while holding down the ball so that it cannot be swallowed.
‘I’ll have to put it to sleep soon.’
The boy’s eyes, which had grown wide for a moment, were half-closed before he knew it.
“Don’t swallow it, spit it out.”
“Mum mum… … B.”
“Once more.”
“Rumble… … On the line.”
After rinsing his mouth properly, he wiped his mouth with a towel. Then, taking the guy with a long yawn, he passed through the study and entered the bedroom.
The bed I woke up on. And the place where I lay for six days to recover. I put the little guy right there.
“Fluffy… .”
“noisy. Be quiet and go to sleep.”
Checking my eyes that were almost closing, I covered him with a blanket and was about to leave the room.
all-
A small hand grabbed my sleeve. It can be easily removed with just a little force. But it didn’t. There was no reason for that. I thought it was okay to take this much time off.
New fluid- New fluid-
Soon, the sound of the child’s even breathing began to be heard in the quiet room.
The hand holding the sleeve falls naturally under the bed.
“It is small.”
A small, lean body that is hard to see for a 12-year-old.
‘shopping… … It would be okay if I borrowed at least one priest who was playing.’
Of course, you have to buy things like footrests and install them all over the house. This house has many inconveniences for children to live in.
‘The bed will be fine for a while.’
There is a separate room for books. I plan to organize it soon and decorate his room.
I watched the little guy’s sleeping face for a while and then turned around.

-It’s mine!!
-I mean, I picked it up first!!
-Little guys can eat a little bit.
-Ah!! That guy is going to shove everything again!! dry!!
-Spit it out!! spit it out!!
“… … ?”
dreamy dreamy.
dark room.
But it wasn’t too dark. The moonlight on a winter night softly illuminated the room through the large glass window.
“Write.”
I wiped the saliva that dripped from my mouth.
The sleeves of the baggy white clothes are damp.
“Huh~”
A yawn came out.
The stomach was not hungry. My body was warm and the surroundings were soft, so I felt good. More than anything.
“Sniff sniff.”
A room full of soothing scents.
“dream… … no.”
No more fighting over food.
Even the need to sleep on a cold, hard floor.
You don’t have to receive the strange gazes of ugly adults.
A tall man with a good voice.
The man who wore a big round thing.
good uncle
It was different from the adults I had seen so far.
A strange old man who calms down just by being close to him.
square square-
“… … ?”
I turned my head at the sound I heard from somewhere.
door slightly open. light seeping through them.
The sound was coming from there.
“Yes… … .”
I came down carefully and walked towards the sound. Then, I poked my head out through the gap where the light came in.
“… … !!”
“… … .”
A strange uncle was looking at this.
Maybe I shouldn’t have seen it?
“Did you wake up hungry?”
“Oh, no… … . Are not you hungry.”
“Then the bed was uncomfortable.”
“It was so fluffy and nice… ?”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
The strange old man tilts his head slightly. I leaned along too.
“Can’t you sleep alone?”
“not really… … .”
I’ve never slept on my own, but I can sleep.
I just slept alone
“… … Can I come in?”
“yes.”
I quietly open the door and enter the brightly lit room. I approached the strange man.
“what are you doing?”
“I can read.”
“do not know.”
“… … yes. you can learn it step by step Your memory will be good.”
“Eh?”
A strange man picked me up and sat me down on his lap. And he kept moving his hand where I couldn’t see him.
square square-
“what are you doing?”
“You don’t have to know. than that… … .”
The strange man lowered his head and looked this way.
“I am Baek Woo-jin.”
“Baek Woo-jin?”
“yes. Baek Woo-jin. And.”
The strange man put his hand on my head. A large, warm, comfortable hand.
“One hundred and one.”
“One hundred?”
“This is your name from now on.”
“My Name?”
-Hey!!
– An albino child?!
-This flour-like guy!!
“Isn’t it that you don’t like it? Or a different name… … .”
“Oh no!! great!! one hundred!! I, one hundred and one!!”
one hundred… one hundred… one hundred… !!

“Woojin!! I’m hungry!!”
“… He said he wasn’t hungry before.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and lowered the bag he had been sitting on his lap to the floor.
A light shines in a dark house.
girl. Hana Baek felt that the cereal she ate during the day tasted even better.
Also, the toothpaste that was sweet.
“crying!!”
“I would have told you not to eat it.”
Baek Woo-jin did not look twice.
