Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me

chapter 2



2 – Dane (2)

I don’t have a wife, but I suddenly had three kids.

That’s a bit strange too.

“I’m going crazy.”

“What is crazy?”

“You want to know? Shall I tell you? Huh?”

“Both of you, stop. Isn’t Dane in trouble?”

A girl with her purple hair in pretty braids opened her eyes wide and asked a question, and a blonde elf grabbed her navel from behind and laughed.

Meanwhile, a white-haired girl with horns on her head, who was similar in height to her sister, grabbed the back of the two and tried to control her.

Those three girls were the ones I took care of a few days ago.

‘Anyway, Mr. Philburton… ….’

Uncle Philburton, the head of the Kingdom’s Resistance Army to which I previously belonged, and an existence that was no different than my father.

He came to me suddenly one day and asked me to raise these children for a while.

That’s a bit embarrassingly sudden.

‘If it were just three kids, I wouldn’t have said anything.’

However, each of the three seemingly ordinary girls had a secret beyond their imagination.

The moment I realized this, the stress of raising three children or a surprise visit from an old colleague seemed insignificant.

That was really nothing.

“Wow, what is this zebra cord?”

“It’s not a string, it’s a snake, but if it has a triangular head, it’s a venomous carnivore…….”

“Stop being scared! Not all triangular shapes are poisonous, and not all round heads are non-poisonous! No, but don’t touch it!”

…… Could it be nothing?

“Dane, can I not touch this?”

“You are immune to poison anyway, so you can touch it.”

“Oh, am I immune to poison? Why?”

The first child Mr. Philburton introduced to me was named Leewin.

When I first saw Liwin, he had messy purple hair and a scruffy face.

She was a child with demonic and human blood mixed.

“It’s a half demon race. Asmodians are fine unless they are extremely poisonous.”

“Huh.”

“Liwin, what if you are surprised?”

Anyway, the Demonic Land, the residence of demons, is far from the kingdom, and since it is mainly treated as an object of fear, there were not so many half demons.

However, it is said that a man who was a member of the resistance army secretly had an affair with a demon woman who was expelled from his hometown and was wandering here and there.

It was the first time I had seen mixed race demons, so it seems that even within the resistance there were divided opinions on what to do.

“By the way, Liwin, how the hell did you grow up so that you can’t tell the difference between a string and a snake?”

“Ugh… sorry….”

“Anyway, I can’t understand inferior races… ….”

“Me! Me! Shall I tell you? Li Yun said that after her parents died, she barely saw the world because she was dragged around by slavers for a while!”

“Aha, I see…” It’s not, do you really have to say that in front of your child again?!”

Sadly, that statement is true.

Li Yun’s father, who occupied a fairly high position in the resistance army, was executed in a sweeping operation by the kingdom army, and so was her mother.

Liwin, who barely survived, said that she was dragged around by slavers and abused because the half-horse race was rare.

Then, fortunately, it seems that she was rescued by those who united with one heart to save even her colleague’s child.

“Liwin, how old were you?”

“mmm, five years old!”

“Yes.”

“How old are you?”

“…… Twenty-five years old.”

I looked at Liwin with complicated eyes.

The fact that I was raised by Mr. Philburton and the environment I grew up in isn’t that different, so I became very attached to him.

So she couldn’t win and accepted it, but as you can see, she is very nice, strong, and even smart.

It was to the point that I wanted to pass on my skills to the successor.

– “You will understand my feelings when you raise a child like you.”

I remember the words of Mr. Philburton who was talking about Leewin.

The reason the old man entrusted this child to me must be that he wants me to experience the feeling of raising a child like me.

Recently, the Resistance Army has been very busy in many ways, so it seems that I was the only one who could trust such a child.

I looked down at Liwin, who eagerly grabbed my sleeve and shook it.

“S, at twenty-five… hmm… It is four times that of Liwin!”

“No, no. Liwin, it’s six times. You need six boxes of five apples to be twenty-five.”

“…… Did someone secretly skip it in the middle?”

On the other hand, the name of the girl who gave Liwin instructions over and over again in an excited tone without even knowing herself was Elfin.

Like Liwin, she has no family name or surname, which was natural since she was an elf.

Because elves don’t have the complex family concept like humans.

“Elfin, how old were you?”

“Twelve years old! You and I are only thirteen years older!”

“That’s a lot of flying.”

“Is that so? My dad is 50 years older than my mom?”

It was common sense to Elfin that a normal human would be frightened if he heard it.

Since elves were a race of elves who loved the forest and cared for nature, their concept of time was different from that of humans.

Since elves live 10 times longer than humans on average, wouldn’t a wife 50 years younger than a wife 5 years younger by human standards?

‘Fifty years is 50 years, but five years in human terms.’

I decided to stop playing strange pranks with hourly units.

In the first place, the concept of time itself is different between humans and elves, so it is impossible to understand with human concepts.

Furthermore, elves are said to be long-lived species who usually live for a thousand years, but their mental age itself is not much different from a human’s 12-year-old.

Even looking at Elfin now, he is a good example of a 12-year-old who is just hateful.

The personality is a bit vicious, but that’s not an elven problem, it’s just an elfin’s own problem.

“… I got sad when I talked to my mom and dad. I hate you uncle I won’t say any more.”

“Why are you suddenly sad?! Aren’t the emotional ups and downs too extreme?!”

“I don’t know, I hate everything.”

“Liwin will pat you.”

“Sigh, thank you… ….”

As Elfin said a moment ago, she has a mother and father who are still alive.

She was a completely different case from Li Yun, who lost her parents shortly after she was born and left her an orphan.

If I say this far, I think someone might misunderstand you and me as a kidnapper or a kidnapper, but of course it wasn’t like that.

‘Cursed child….’

Elfin also had his own dark circumstances.

Usually, small villages that are almost cut off due to little interaction with the outside world tend to be very closed.

Not only do cultures and languages change with their own characteristics, but also superstitions are overly deified.

The elven village where elves were born and raised was the same. Most of them did not doubt that they believed in the superstition called prophecy.

Like paladins and priests, who are often oracles from God and act insincerely, elves would commit unreasonable acts according to the prophecies of noble elves.

For example… Okay.

Things like banishing one’s own child from the village with just one word of the cursed prophecy.

“… Mister.”

“Huh?”

“If I grow up strong here, my mom and dad will come back to find me later, right?”

“… ….”

“I will be released from the curse someday, so I’m sure….”

The elfin’s muttering words, holding my little finger in his tiny hand, became a dagger and pierced my heart.

What happens to the mind of a child who was suddenly abandoned not only by the villagers he was close with, but also by his parents?

‘I’ll never be fine.’

It must have been torn to pieces and hacked to pieces.

I don’t know if I can comfort this child, but as soon as I heard the story, I felt like I wanted to try as much as I could.

Besides, even if you leave out her story from her past, Elfin was valuable.

Even considering the fact that he was an elf, it was because he had outstanding physical abilities and excellent fighting sense.

My assassination technique itself was something Elfin could learn much better than Leewin.

-“If Elfin grows well like this, he will become a great fighter.”

On the other hand, the reason why the old man entrusted Elfin to me was a little more practical than in the case of Liwin.

Lewin is still too young, but in a few years Elfin will be a ready-to-use combat agent.

He said that even though he was a child with no place to return to, he was certain of his talent, so even if he retired, I should teach him elfin.

‘Not bad.’

Whether my assassination plan succeeds or fails, the Resistance will have to fight more to end the waning realm once and for all.

It wasn’t bad to have at least one junior who fully mastered my skills for the time when I wasn’t there.

From the beginning, I had a romance about raising students and nurturing younger generations.

“Anyway, kids these days really don’t know. Even if you try to be nice, it’s so cumbersome, tsk tsk…….”

Finally, the name of the little girl with white hair, who looks like Elfin and hers, but who speaks like an old man who has lived the whole world, was called Justina.

I still couldn’t believe what Mr. Philburton had told me about Justina.

That would be the case, too large a scale to believe straight away.

‘Dragon.’

It wasn’t that I had never met a dragon in my life.

There were times when I happened to run into a dragon that came out of a game while passing by, and there were times when I found a dragon’s rare while wandering in the mountains.

But I was dumbfounded when Mr. Philverton said that one of the children he asked to raise was a dragon.

‘I want to raise a dragon?’

You have to say something that makes sense. It was downright embarrassing.

Staring at Justina in a daze, she blushed, turned her head away, and screamed at her in an angry voice.

“What are you looking at, lowly human! Are you possessed by this Justina-sama?”

“It can’t be, I don’t want to get caught.”

“What? What did you mean by that?”

“There is such a thing.”

“Oooh… I don’t know what it is, but use an honorific! The original woman is a few hundred years older than a child like you!”

Justina didn’t seem to have any special circumstances like Elfin or Leewin.

The uncle didn’t say much, and at first glance, she seemed like a noble lady who had no worries and was just curious about everything in the world.

If I had to make my own predictions, it would probably be a young dragon that was playing for the first time in my life.

‘I don’t know how it came to us.’

The reason the old man handed Justina to me was simple.

Although she was very sorry, the reason she had no choice but to leave it to me was,

– “Wouldn’t it be nice to have a connection with the dragon?”

Since each individual is a dragon with tremendous power, I understood the feeling of wanting to look good no matter what.

Since Justina showed interest and sneaked up on her, they should build a friendly relationship, but the resistance army is busy, and Justina is like a bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode.

It would have been best for him to leave it to me.

“But Mister, where are we going?

“To hunt.”

“Wow, Sanyaang?”

“Huh.”

“Oh, is meat for dinner tonight?!”

While going hunting with my children like this, I agonized over and over whether this was really the right choice.

It was also a problem that the prey ran away at the children’s fuss, but that was nothing compared to the real problem.

‘I was going to infiltrate the palace soon if it went according to plan.’

I finally accepted it, but in fact I tried to refuse Mr. Philburton’s request at first.

No matter how late it was, within a month, the key figures in the palace were to be assassinated, and I was also scheduled to be summarily executed.

I couldn’t afford to raise my children, and I couldn’t afford it either.

‘But I can’t tell you all of this.’

Even if he knocked me down and put me in bed, he was never the kind of person who would make me commit a suicide-like assassination.

Besides, it seemed that the inability to raise a child was worse for the resistance than for me.

If neither I nor the uncle can take charge, what will happen to Leewin and Elfin?

Assuming Justina is like that, how the hell are these two supposed to live without a guardian?

– “Okay. Then I’ll take care of it for a second.”

– “Yes, thank you. Thank you so much. When things get better, I’ll call you back right away and take the kids.”

Just like that.

Somehow, all of a sudden, I was in charge of the three children.

There is no change to the fact that the assassination will be carried out through a secret passage, but it can be delayed a little longer.

It might be better if I prepare more solidly and pass on my skills to my children for the future of the Resistance.

So…….

“Mister, I am hungry!”

“Lewindo.”

“Huh… hehehe, aren’t the kids urging you on? Hurry up and order a meal!”

“Oh, I just heard a growl from Justina’s stomach.”

“Awesome!!!”

…… Let’s think about feeding the children first.
