Episode 17: Big Horns and Small Horns - Adopted Daughter

Holmenia, the king's capital, was falling asleep.

It is the hour that has already gone around the night. Exhausted with the labor of the day, the common man fell asleep, and even the bustling amusement state from dusk ended tentatively the first (kariso) loving business, and the visitor and the amusement woman immersed themselves in one love and one financial greed of the same bed nightmare.

It was such a time.

That is no exception to the royal castle. With the exception of some sleeping quarters such as candles (candles) and other fire control lighting numbers and guards guarding the castle, everyone was in their bedroom (fudge) and in deep sleep in preparation for tomorrow.

But despite that time, Michena was alone in the Treasury.

Relying on the slightest candlelight, she stared to devour records and reports. But it doesn't look like a very good job to have a hand with a pen barely moving just because the eyes that follow the letters move giggly. All that or if you look at the dark bear and meaty fallen cheeks floating in its sights, and above all her tightly drawn lips, it was clear that she was stuck.

It was Solon who appeared flustered there.

"Working late is an emotion, an admiration - I can't say very well. I haven't been able to concentrate due to lack of sleep and tiredness."

To put it that way, Solon pointed out a mistake when he glanced at Michena's open documents. Michena solidifies herself into a simple mistake that she wouldn't normally make.

Before such Michena, Solon laughed and showed Kerakera.

"This is why we don't have ordinary people. It's not like we should just do it in vain. Good luck? Have you had a hard time? If I could do a good job with it, no one would take care of me."

Michena was outraged by this.

Surely what Solon says is true. And they just pointed out the mistake as if to prove it right now too. But no matter how righteous you are, if you ask me to deviate toward this side, I'm going to cackle with Michena just fine.

"It was bad. Anyway, I'm a normal person."

Michena made a twisted statement in the tone of tonguelessness that she had consciously stopped due to the heavy duty of being treasurer.

Besides consoling, Solon instead makes a big nod at just being right.

"Hey. From my perspective, most people are ordinary. I don't care."

Michena shrugged back at Solon, who said so. Solon says, "It's not true," with a faint face.

"The greatest man in the land also admires me as a genius. As long as I was there, the country even said it was safe. Well, that's natural, too. I'm not a genius."

And Solon showed it stretched up to his chest like he said he was good at it.

Michena is stunned by this again.

Speaking of the greatest in the country, it will be king. No way the old man who drank me, who was dull in Bornis, which was just a borderline city, had knowledge of the king.

Michena says with plenty of sarcasm to the obvious holla blowing solon.

"I don't understand it very well for a normal person, but if he's so smart, he won't have any difficulty. As much as I'm proud of you."

Solon has a reputation for surface skin thickness. Even against this irony, Michena thought it was only natural to return it.

But when Solon dropped his shoulder, he said:

"No, no, genius has a problem with genius."

It seemed like a solon around calling myself a genius, but I couldn't feel the joke vibe in the words.

"I only look at records and texts at a glance, and usually understand them. Things are with me. I know what to do, how to deal with it, and how to get it right. What's so boring about this?"

Michena tells me, "What a luxury!" It was an outrageous content. But I can feel the color of deep self-derision and giving up that doesn't seem false from the solon who tells it, and Michena gets stuck in words.

"That's not all. Considering the slightest, one should soon be able to see the right path, but one dares to lose sight of the right path by emotion, greed and unyielding possession. And only that kind of guy tries to pull my leg. How frustrating this is."

Solon stood up and looked up to heaven as he rang his sleeves and opened his arms.

"Since I was a young child, I have read hundreds of volumes, and I have honed this wisdom by considering myself a number of wise men. What is it for?! To try everything in the world with only one sword, using Xian as a sword! My sword is not meant to cut off a few things! God, give me enough room to wave my sword! Give me one big problem enough to wave my sword!

Even as Michena stares at the unfolding like a scene play in which the protagonist mourns his misadventure, Solon turns his painful expression into a light-hearted laugh and slaps himself in the forehead.

"And, well, when I was younger, But I've changed my mind a little since I was old."

Solon continues in a gentle tone as he lowers his back to the chair.

"From my point of view, an ordinary man who wonders what a waste and worries about foolishness gives an answer that he could not even think about from time to time. Find a path I never thought I'd take. Still, it's usually not enough to take. But very rarely do they produce more pearls than I thought were the right answer."

Solon hits one of his knees there.

"That's what's so funny!

Though he said he was an elderly old man, Solon said with glittering eyes like a child.

"My favorite these days is soma. That kid, he's especially funny. I'm so excited about what's gonna pop out of that kid."

That's what she says and laughs at Solon, and Michena puts on her little neck.

"But Master Soma is not an ordinary man, is he?

I didn't think Michena would find a pale horse to hit what Solon called a normal person.

Only a few years after being single, the Ethereal Horse acquired the Holmeer Country, known as the West Side Male. It is not something that ordinary people can do even in the end. He is precisely a person who can be regarded as a brilliant man or hero.

But Solon shook his head sideways.

"No, no, no. As far as I can tell, that's not how many ordinary people suffer from scratching their feet."

Solon puts his hand on his white-long bearded jaw and laughs all over him.

"Well, I don't know what's going to happen to that kid. Can you keep carrying that weight to the end? Or are you gonna be crushed by the weight in the middle of the road? again, it will end in something..."

He was a solon who was often puzzled by his thoughts, but when he noticed Michena watching herself with a surprised face, he raised that face and made her laugh a prank.

"Kid's funny too, but your daughter's pretty funny too"

"Am I?

Michena raised her bare voice.

Michena also thinks of herself as an ordinary person. But I didn't think it would hit an interesting ordinary person like Solon says.

But to Michena like that, Solon nods and shows one thing.

"That's right. The funniest thing about a lady is that she's fucking serious."

Doesn't seem like some kind of compliment to me. Rather, Michena mumbles at the mouthfeel of Solon, who seems to be even being ridiculed.

narrow your eyes to love that honest reaction, Solon says.

"Right. By analogy to a pile of stones, you said that I could stack ten or twenty stones together, and your daughter stacked each one next to it."

Solon tries to build up stones with a slow and careful hand.

"Sometimes it would be frustrating to know what the hell you're doing. But not when a thousand stones and 10,000 piles are piled up. Even if the stones that I have piled show an unnoticed inclination, and can no longer be piled up any further, your daughter's will be piled up even straight and further up. I have that potential. I want to see it."

Michena was surprised to see her eyes round, even though she apparently praised herself for real.

Solon makes a mean grin at how she looks like that.

"Well, if you're a lady, you're much more likely to dodge along the way and knock out your own pile of stones. Well, I'm glad to hear that."

He was a solon who started laughing again with karakara.

But inadvertently, his eyes gleam with a giraffe of sword swallowing.

"That being said, there are people who interrupt that pleasure. Besides, those idiots think they're smart. I've never been more angry."

Michena blurted her body, not knowing what it meant, to the tone of Solon, who had a blade-like sharpness after hitting and changing.

But it was also only a few moments away. Soon Solon turns to Michena as he returns to his usual drunk old man.

"By the way, my lady. Are you going to take over the house?

Michena smiles back bitterly, though baffled not to follow the sudden turn of story.

"No way, no way."

Though he was appointed treasurer, he was not given a separate title or other status. Michena didn't even have a family name or surname to inherit, rather than inherit the house.

"Right, right. - So you have to take care of your mother?

Certainly, until not long ago, I had to replace my late father and take care of my elderly mother and younger brothers. But my younger brothers have already started working, and there's nothing like having trouble living without Michena anymore. Also, it is not that she has to take care of her mother, but rather that her mother, who is sorry to have continued to take care of her, has told me that she wants me to go to her daughter-in-law as soon as possible.

And as if I was in any way convinced, yeah. It was a solon who was nodding, but I accidentally nodded on the spot. And put your hand on your chest and groan small.

"Mm, my chest, it's painful...!

To this Michena kicks up the chair and stands up, turning her blood phase and screaming.

"Mr. Solon, are you okay and rinsed?!"

Though usually filled with vivacity that no young man can beat, Solon is an elderly old man. It's not strange when (anytime) you die suddenly. Not to mention Michena, whose father was young and dying suddenly. That's why Michena hastily flutters.

It was Michena, who poked her knee beside Solon to see how she was doing right away, but she gets taken aback.

Solon's eyes were laughing when he was supposed to be in pain holding his chest down. Moreover, while holding down his chest, he is eager to react with a flicker and Michena.

It was an obvious scam.

Solon continues his shitty sick play.

"Oh, it's painful. My chest hurts. Me, too, I'm a bumpy bastard. I could die like this. Oh, Sabino. I wish I was an adopted daughter. I was wondering if someone could adopt me and help the lonely old man."

It is an obvious demand for Michena to be adopted.

Michena also turned a blind eye to this.

Still, Solon persists in his trilogy play.

"I wonder if there's a kind-hearted daughter somewhere. Don't you have a daughter who no longer needs to inherit the house or provide for her mother? I wonder if you have a daughter to adopt me. Oh, I miss one! of, of!

There's a glimpse of flickering at me as I continue to act shitty, anyway.

As Michena continued to ignore it, Solon finally began to bump his hands and feet like a wasting child as he fell asleep on the floor.

"Jizzy's gonna die of loneliness! Come on! Be gentle! Be nice to the old man! Be an adopted daughter!"

Is this what people of your age should also say age do?

When I get to this point, I pass by and often admire that it's something I can do to this point.

But if I leave it like this, I could do it forever.

Michena, who thought she couldn't do her job or anything with this, leaked one deep sigh from the depths of her chest.

"I get it. Wow. You want me to be your adopted daughter?

Michena, who is a woman but holds the high office of treasurer, is really estranged from her generation of heterosexuals. For this reason he has no place to go to his daughter-in-law as his mother wishes, and is in a position to have to leave the house one day if his younger brothers grow up.

Then you can do enough to see the rest of Solon's life, who gave me some advice when he became Treasurer in the city of Bornis.

As much as I think so, Michena was fond of this old man, who can do whatever she wants, but can't hate him anywhere.

"It's not true!

Where did he suffer until earlier, when Solon stood up completely.

No matter what happened to Michena poking around saying her chest was painful, Solon barely said, "Heartfelt sweet daughter's words cured me!" and it reopens and doesn't even go bad.

"All right, all right. Shall we make a pact between father and daughter on this occasion?"

Michena poked her knee on the spot as Solon rushed her. Solon, with his hand on its shoulder, carries on strictly.

"Okay, Michena. Think of me more as your father, and give me all your charity."

"Yes, yes. I think of Solon as my true father, and I will make filial provision for him."

Michena answers the throw, but also makes Solon nod again and again satisfactorily.

"Mm-hmm. Good. - Then you can name El Basizo's family name. You're Michena Elbazizo."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The day after Solon and Michena entered into a pact for their father and daughter.

Even that day, Michena and the finance officials continued to fight invisible battles against their opponents with enormous materials and records.

Even if I want to check one record, I don't know where the record is to be matched against it. Try to find it, it's going to break my heart in front of a mountain of too huge records. Still, it's like finding a grain of sand out of a dune, even if it excites your mind to work on it. I have found no record of what I am looking for, and I am only heartbroken by my labor.

No longer, from anyone's eyes, the Michenas were close to the limit.

Michena, who would have more heartache and fatigue than anyone about the condition of such a subordinate, stopped her hand and called out to those who were nearby.

"Will the other officials still not be served today?

Michena turned her voice to Mendax, who was prime minister under King Walius.

In the absence of many officials, including the treasurer, this Mendax was the only one who took to the treasury to help the Michenas every day.

"I'm so sorry to hear that."

Mendax apologized to Michena and the others in a flat-headed manner.

Is it because he was originally from a poor lower nobility? It is a low back that I do not think is a human being who even served as the prime minister of the great Holmeer. It was a demeaning attitude towards the finance officials of the city of Bornis, full of civilians.

"But forgive me somehow. At any rate, the Holmeer country, which I thought was the cornerstone, is doomed, and we are all confused. Many people suffer from the disease because of their heartache, and that's why they can't serve. - Let me help you in good faith instead, yes."

To Mendax's words, the Michenas returned a bitter laugh.

It is Mendax, who is said to have become prime minister only by his aunt. Its ability to handle finances cannot be said to be highly flattering. Instead, I had to teach him from scratch whatever he wanted me to do, and instead it was the beginning and end of the busy Michenas pulling their legs.

But still, in addition to their background as former prime ministers, Michena and the others could not be handled without hindrance (groaning) just because they were the only ones who were trying to help other finance officials refuse to show up.

To Mendax's answer, Michena couldn't help but sigh.

"Thank you to Master Mendax. Tell your financial officers to come forward as soon as possible."

And when Mendax bowed his head in the words of Michena, he turned away.

Even after Mendax walked away, Michena was waving up the ceiling with her hands stopped.

"Maybe not anymore."

Such a weak sound brings a neck in my chest.

I've been excited to give back my favor to the Ethereal Horse who lifted me up who was having trouble with my life, but that's been it too. The strength of my fellow financial officers will probably run out today.

And above all, I felt the limits to myself.

Even if you think you need to move your hand a little, your hand can no longer move. Even if I follow the letters with my eyes, that doesn't get to my head. And I already have myself throwing everything away, crying, wanting to get out of this place.

"Mr. Michena, are you okay...?

One of the treasurers, anxious about Michena's condition, has spoken out, but Michena no longer even has room to reply.

No more.

Finally, Michena's heart breaks completely.

That was the time.

"Oh, it's my daughter Michena. My father-in-law came to see my daughter's work."

And Solon turned to his face.
