60. My best friend Damian (4)

60. My best friend Damian (4)

Lunch.

Yuri and I were spending time sitting on the grass in the garden.

I don’t know when my brother will be born, with tension in my body.

Yuri sat next to me and timidly asked a question.

“Yeah, but… Damian… ! What kind of hair style does Damian like… ?”

Yuri blushed and grabbed her long hair in two parts.

“This, this hair?”

“Hmm… “

“Rice, not good… ? Then this… ?”

She held her hair behind her back this time.

“Not bad.”

“That, yes… ? Then shall we change her hair style with this… ?”

To tell you the truth, neither is my taste.

I like long straight hair.

I like Yuri’s original hair style more.

Although I can see one drawback.

I looked straight into her eyes and said to Yuri to raise her self-esteem.

“But I just like the original you better.”

“Yes, yes… ? That means… It means that I like myself even if I don’t change my hair… ?”

“Well, you can see that.”

“If Damian said that, I knew it…! Ehehehe…”

Yuri was delighted that he liked my answer.

I decided to have another drink here.

About the one drawback I just mentioned.

“Honestly, I’d rather thin my hair a bit. It looks so frustrating. How about cutting the bangs length?”

“Oh, bangs!”

Am I never going to give up my bangs?

Yuri shouted resolutely, holding her bangs with her hands.

“That, I hate that… !! It’s embarrassing… !”

Yuri stubbornly refuses.

Is bangs that precious?

Since he reacted strongly with refusal, I wanted to prank him by secretly cutting my bangs while I was sleeping.

However, if I cut Yuri’s hair carelessly, my head could be cut, so I decided to leave it to her imagination.

‘I won’t cut my throat. It just reminds me of the original story.’

Even though now Yuri is distant from the villain, the tyrant Yuri in the original story was someone who could easily cut people’s throats.

‘Kill all the people in my family. I cut off her head and put it on display at the entrance to the castle.’

Unable to endure life in the North, Yuri inherited the family by killing her father.

She slaughtered members of her family and displayed their heads at the entrance to the castle.

It means to suffer while looking at the cold snowfield for the rest of your life.

It is said that the temperature in the north is low, so the head does not rot and is displayed until it is demolished.

‘Being stuffed by Nadia, exhibited by Yuri… Do you think there will be nothing good about me?’

What is it?

When did my life get so twisted?

Although it has been twisted since I was born into this world.

The situation may be more serious than I thought.

‘What if I die? Hmm, I don’t think he’ll die in a normal way.’

Stuffed.

Accompanied suicide.

Decapitation.

“…”

For a moment, a terrifying thought passed through my head.

I stroked Yuri’s hair as gently as possible to keep her alive.

“… You don’t have to do it if you don’t like it. I was just asking.”

“Okay, Damian… But, in Damian’s opinion… It’s better to cut your bangs a little… ?”

“Go, I have no intention of forcing you. I just want it to look less stuffy.”

“That, yes… ? Then… Seriously thinking… ! I’ll try… !”

Yes.

Please think seriously about it when you want to display my hair later.

‘I want to live long. With family.’

We sat alone in the garden, taking a break after a long time, having such trivial conversations.

That moment.

A maid came running from afar.

She shouted loudly at us.

“Ah, the hostess has started! Eh, it’s better to prepare your heart, young master!”

Has my brother started to be born?

I’m all nervous and sweaty for no reason.

Yuri looked at me with worried eyes, nodded her head as if resolute, and timidly held out her hand.

“Go, let’s go, Damian… ! Let’s go see my brother… !”

“Yes… “

But.

‘We… ?’

Why Us?

Yuri holding my hand and running.

Her choice of words was somehow odd.

***

The long-awaited birth of a younger sister amidst her mother’s pain.

It was finished around early evening.

“It’s a girl.”

The maid took her child and handed it over to her mother.

The mother looked at her little brother endearingly and wept.

This is the result obtained through a long period of suffering.

‘I wonder if I looked like that when I was born.’

A smile full of happiness.

A father who supports her mother by her side.

Yuri and I watched it quietly.

Something resonated in my heart.

“Damian… A little brother was born… “

“Yes, I was born.”

“It feels good… ?”

“I feel good.”

But.

I don’t know how to describe this feeling.

Anyway, I feel good.

An emotion that cannot be defined in any words.

Is it good and worrying, and bleak when you imagine the future?

‘I don’t know either. Let’s enjoy a happy feeling for now.’

I slowly approached her mother so that my sister would not panic.

“Is your body okay, mother?”

“I’m fine right now… I’m tired and I want to rest…”

He looks tired.

My mother showed me her little brother.

“This is your little brother, Damian. Isn’t he as pretty as he gave birth to after a long and hard time?”

“…It’s pretty.”

I took her brother in my arms.

The little guy exhales and closes his eyes.

‘Such a small body will become as big as me.’

I hope you grow well.

To do that, we need to create a peaceful environment.

It is not an environment that leads to the fall of an empire.

To an environment where families can live happily.

If you’re an older brother, you have to do that.

I said, touching the little fellow with her finger.

“If you’re going to get married, get my permission.”

“Pu-Hup, are you already taking care of your brother’s future?”

My mother laughed as if she was full of energy at my words.

I turned and showed her sister towards Yuri once.

‘… Won’t you do something strange?’

I was a little worried.

Because it’s weird not only showing it to Yuri.

If you’re timid, you might get hurt.

I introduced her to her my sister cautiously.

“Greetings, Yuri. This is my brother.”

“Too, younger brother… The younger brother hugged by Damian… What’s his name…?”

“…I see. What’s your mother’s name?”

“Remy. Sinclair Remiranda.”

Remy.

Yuri slowly reached out to Remy.

“Ah, hello Remi…? Bar, nice to meet you…! I’m Yuri…!”

“…”

“In Demian’s arms… He’s still… His expression looks comfortable… Me too…?”

Me too?

Yuri looked at Remi in a curious way.

She wiggled her hands for fear of hurting Remi if she touched her, and she didn’t approach her.

‘I was worried for nothing.’

I felt like Yuri was jealous of my sister and would do something big.

However, she rather cherished my sister.

From noble mtl dot com

“Damian’s little brother… He’s small and cute…! Because Damian likes him…! Me, I’ll cherish it too…!”

Yuri speaks with a bright smile.

At her words, her parents also laughed in satisfaction.

“You seem to like you, Damian.”

“How can Yuri be so kind…”

“Ehehehe…”

“…”

Is it because of my mood that it seems a bit intentional?

It feels like Yuri’s eyes hidden behind her bangs have changed.

Looking at her with her straight eyes somewhere in her, I returned her Remi to her mother.

Now that she is a mother, she was willing to take a break.

“Then, we’ll go out first, Mother. Rest in peace. Let’s go, Yuri.”

“Okay…! Oh, mother, rest in peace too! Physical health is important…! Go, I’ll go!”

Duck-

Me and Yuri first came out of her mother’s bedroom.

I wanted to leave her to rest after giving birth.

Yuri told me with an excited look that what just happened gave her a deeper experience than she thought.

“Damian…! Did you see…? Remy is breathing lightly…! Oh, he’s so cute…!”

“It’s wrinkly, but it’s cute.”

“Isn’t it…? Then what if…”

If only.

Yuri swallowed her words, but she shouted with courage as if determined.

“Will I be able to give birth to a child like that later…? If I get married and get pregnant…! Me too…?!”

Um.

It is not physically impossible.

The only problem is who the target is.

‘No matter how you look at it, I’m sure I’ll be with you.’

Because Yuri doesn’t know anyone other than me.

I came up with the best answer on the line that would help her raise her self-esteem.

“Of course you can. You deserve to be happy. You can enjoy what you can enjoy.”

“Yeah…? Thanks Damian… for telling me that…”

Yuri smiled brightly as if she liked the answer.

Then, suddenly, he gently held my hand.

She mumbled in a low voice, bowing her head towards her floor.

“Then… later… we get engaged… together… um… the kids… too…?”

“What, what?”

It’s a small voice, so I can’t hear it well.

But when I heard the sparse words.

It seems that he muttered something unusual.

However, Yuri immediately smiled awkwardly as if it was nothing.

“Oh, no…! I didn’t say anything…! Forget this, Damien…!”

Suspicious.

I decided to ask properly, furrowing my eyebrows.

“Really? You didn’t say anything?”

“I-I can’t lie! I just said something, but it’s no big deal! You can forget my words…!”

“Really?”

“Ugh…! I never said anything helpful to Damian… It was just… Just a passing word…”

“…”

Yuri escapes by using her low self-esteem as a weapon.

I sighed and stroked her hair.

“Okay, I understand. Take back what I said last time.”

“What…?”

“You never said anything helpful to me. Drop that.”

Don’t be helpful.

It doesn’t matter.

And, for the sake of self-esteem, I had to correct those words.

I faced Yuri’s red eyes and muttered.

“It doesn’t matter as long as friends help each other. Also, just being with you helps me.”

“Really…? How can I help Damian…?”

Kwaak-

Yuri grabbed my sleeve and asked earnestly.

“Answer me… What am I doing to help Damian…?”

This answer seemed important to Yuri.

I answered slowly and as delicately as possible after deep consideration.

“It’s just. It’s fun to be together, and it’s always good to be together.”

“Just…?”

“Yeah, just keep it simple. Just think that your very existence always helps me.”

“So…? I’m helping Damian… Always…? Ehehehe…”

Yuri listened to me and smiled with joy.

No?

She smiled almost in rapture.

It seemed that the word that it was helpful to me resonated greatly.

Yuri declared with such a smile on her face.

“Thank you, Damian… I will do my best to be of help to Damian in the future…”

Sure.

“I, won’t you abandon me…? Also, I’ll try harder… To give more to Damian…?”

Something.

Yuri’s conversation seems to be out of sync.

‘What the hell are you thinking?’

I asked, showing anxiety.

“What? You’re going to give me more?”

“Ugh…! I’ll give you a lot of things to help Damian…! Please wait until then…! That will definitely help Damian…!”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re saying it’ll help me, though?”

“Of course…! Damian will love it too…! It’s a great gift…!”

However, Yuri seemed to have no intention of telling me.

She laughed, keeping her mouth shut as if she were hiding a secret.

‘There are no secrets between friends.’

… That’s not what i’m saying

I kept my mouth shut because I was hiding more secrets than Yuri.

‘But since it’s a gift, it’s okay.’

Since Yuri said she was helpful to me, she’d better trust her and wait.

Because I’ve rarely done anything that harmed me.

‘Looking at the way I treat my brother today, it seems like my way of thinking has improved a lot. It’s not a bad thing.’

But.

I don’t know why, but a chill ran over her skin.

I peeked at Yuri’s smile for a premonition that something wasn’t right.

“Ehehehe…”

I had no choice but to trust her.

“My best friend… no, my soulmate Damien…”

“…”

The last words filled with that obsession.

Yuri left for the bedroom.

So, her last night in her hometown passed peacefully.

With invisible chaos.

That night.

“…Damn it.”

I had a nightmare about falling into a swamp.

It was a nightmare of falling into a swamp from which you can never come out once your foot is trapped.
