Chapter 2

Hannah’s body fluttered when Masha said she was throwing them away.

“What…, what?” I became a shameless person who abandons her children.

No, I mean, is that right?

I’m running away to save my life, but I’m going to be a cold-hearted adult who leaves them?

‘Ma, Masha, ····.’

‘Are you really leaving?’ Ian asked.

Even Ian’s face, who was only expressionless, had a shade.

“See, the new teacher said she wouldn’t like us either!”

Jeremy said, kicking the door madly. Suddenly I feel like I became a sinner. ‘I went out of the temple like this…’ I felt like someone who had really grown up was coming to revenge for the abandoned. In particular, Jeremy said that he remembered the days of a nursery school while sleeping one day and find himself a knife. (I’m sorry I don’t really understand the last part) 

“……Uh····· um······.”

It was a difficult situation.

Eventually, Hannah caught Masha’s eyes dripping with tears. The children’s shoulders were drooping.

‘These children….’ The villains Hannah thought were not like this. The small and hurt little kid was never the villains she thought.

“Teacher…”

No matter how poor the children look at it, no matter how hurt they look! I had to leave without looking back.

‘But, ···.’

Suddenly, a voice floated in my head. “Older sister(Nuna)!”

10 years ago.

Come to think of it, it was a very strange day.

‘Nuna! Nuna! Let’s go to the supermarket together!”

Usually, it was rare to refuse my brother’s request to go to the supermarket together, but that day I feel really tired. I can’t go to the nearby supermarket where you can only cross the street. I’m tired of my brother’s crying and screaming so I sent him cold-heartedly to go home.

And that day, my younger brother left.

To a place where you will never return.

It becomes something that can’t be washed away.

For a while, it was a sad past when it was so hard to be separated from the children who were about the same height as her younger siblings.

“Sister, can’t you come with me?’

That one word still remains a dagger in my heart.

And so Hannah was particularly weak to the children with the same age as her younger brother.

“Like this, are you leaving us behind…?”

When Masha spoke with his tearful eyes once again, she quickly opened her mouth.

“······No.”

It was because of the appearance of the children overlapped with her younger brother.

So it is. At that moment, I couldn’t leave the children cold-heartily.

“Teacher isn’t going anywhere. I was trying to move the room because it was uncomfortable. Don’t worry. Huh? Masha, don’t cry…”

Hannah felt her heart shrunk when the children cried. Suddenly, Masha ran to her arms and held her. “Teacher, if you abandon us, we won’t… No…”

“Yes, teacher is not going anywhere.”

Hannah had no choice but to pat Masha’s head and smile awkwardly to Jeremy and Ian. I know these kids aren’t my younger brothers, or maybe it’s just a fantasy of being in the type of the novel, but I can’t turn blind to the crying child. Even thinking that they were poor children, I began to feel more and more concerned.

I don’t know if it’s weak or stupid, but at least now I couldn’t get rid of the kids in a cruel way.

‘I am digging my own grave.’

Fortunately, she was thinking positively and saying, “Let’s raise the children to be nice.”

[Monday Observation Diary]

Masha, a lively personality. Loves to eat. Will be violent when angry. Follow what you say and like skinship. He likes dresses and dolls full of frills.

Jeremy, precisely through the ugly four and the seven you want to kill. A naughty boy. He likes to bully others. Often using swearing words. Ex) Je**, Idi**, craz**.

Ian, blunt. Always expressionless. Extremely hating dirty things. Children’s gloves are expensive. Compliant with instructions, but no great sincerity. Like an old man.]

As a result of observation, the children really had a different personality.

This is why I wondered why I didn’t like it even though I wondered if he was losing, roasting, and fighting because the personality didn’t match.

It would have been much easier to turn the continent into a sea of fire if the three were united.

‘Well, all the kids’ fight… But are they fight when they grew up?’

Hannah was digging carrots in the vegetable garden and watching the children’s free activities.

Masha was on a swing, Jeremy was hitting the bag with a wooden curtain that I didn’t even know where he got it, and Ian was reading a book with a towel on a bench under the shade of a tree.

‘For some reason, don’t kids of that age get together and play? How can all of them play separately?’

Strangely, the children were from the same childhood. Every time Jeremy said something that didn’t know where he learned it, Ian hated it and despised Jeremy. It was only Masha who was delighted to see the two of them.

It was mainly to laugh at them as idiots.

Tak. Tak.

The hand movement of digging carrots became faster. It was because I had to dig vegetables quickly in time for dinner.

“Teacher, can I help you?” Masha said, twisting his body in front of Hannah.

“Ah, Masha. Can you help me?” Hannah took out a shovel and give it to Masha.

‘What is today’s menu?’ asked Masha, digging in the dirt with brackish hands.

“I’m thinking of beef stew. And I will put in a lot of vegetables.”

“Yeah, but you don’t have to put a lot of vegetables.”

“I put in a lot because you guys are so picky.” Especially Jeremy’s picky was the best of the three. Masha’s pouting his lips at Hannah’s words.

“Well, that’s good too.” Masha shrugged as if he was sincere.

“But, teacher, why are you not taking classes inside and choose to come out every day?” Masha asked with a blinking eye.

The answer was easy. It was because Hannah didn’t deserve to teach because her knowledge of this world was poor.

“I have a slightly different view of education from other people.”

It was a brazen-faced answer to myself.

‘Education view?’

“Well, about how to teach you. Rather than opening a book and teaching difficult words, I want you to grow strong in harmony with nature.”

The words were pretty good, but in fact, the reason was that I just didn’t know anything at all.

But it took a lot of courage to reveal to these children.

Many adults don’t reveal their weaknesses!

“Oh, I see!” Masha digs hard and smiles with a can of carrots.

‘······Sorry. It’s just because I’m an idiot.’ Hannah will make sure that she should study about this world before going to bed today.

“What are you doing?” said Jeremy who kicking Masha’s back, who did not know when he was approaching. There was dirt all over his hands and face. When his hands touched the ground, Masha’s eyes turned to Jeremy’s feet. Masha, who had been silent for a while, stretched his back and smiled.

“Where are you kicking with your dirty feet?”

He said with a smile, but I could see that the horse had a thorn.

‘Uh… If you do that…’

Hannah swallowed her saliva with a shovel in her hand. This was a bad situation.

“What do you do with a lot of dirt?” Jeremy laughed by shaking his hand. As a result, Masha also raised his body by shaking his hands. “Isn’t it? It’s dirty anyway.”

“Right, right,” said Jeremy, nodding his head, and Masha, grasping Jeremy’s back and put him to the dirt floor.

“Ah!” Hannah was the only one surprised by this situation.

‘You’ll just have to turn your back on the dirty one very well anyway!’ Masha ripped Jeremy’s hair off.

“Ah! Hey! Won’t you let go?!”

Suddenly beaten, Jeremy struggling with his arms and legs underneath

Hannah surprised and get up to separate these two.

“You’re such an idiot, aren’t you?!”

Masha’s vocabulary is considerable. Especially when he was angry. Hannah grabbed Masha’s arm, but she didn’t budge from the strength as if she was good enough.

“Oh, Masha. Stop it! Friends shouldn’t hit each other!”

“Yes, friends don’t hit each other.” Hannah tried to be relieved that her words were through.

“But it’s also loser who doesn’t know up and down!”

However, Hannah’s face turned pale at the words that followed afterward.

Masha tried to hit Jeremy once again, but the tide turned in an instant, changing the positions of Jeremy and Masha.

Now Masha is rolling back to the dirt floor.

“This, where do you hit me with that power?”

“Jeremy!”

Oh, God. Hannah was crying for a God she didn’t believe in.

“Come on, wait a minute! Guys!” Because it was useless to stop them, Ian quietly came to the next to Hannah.

“Oh, Ian, are you here to help?”

Hannah thought Ian was here to help her. But it was a naive idea, by the way. Ian was just looking down at the two of them without expression and at Hannah’s desperate request.

Rather, he looked like a man in the back who came to see someone else’s house.

When Masha and Jemery were struggling and the dirt splashed on themselves, Ian blocked the dirt with the book he was reading. It was a very good reaction though.

Then he looked at the book with a slightly distorted expression.

There were some dirt particles on the cover of the book. The amount was small enough for the average person to shake it off.

Dug.

But Ian threw the book at the two who rolling back.

“Ouch!” I don’t know who the book hit, but a short scream burst out.

And Ian took off the white gloves from his hand. It was also thrown at the children, he threw it away as if it were a trash can, and he moved to the building, shaking his hand.

“……”

As she looked at it, Hannah touched her forehead.

“Yes. What am I expecting?” Somehow I just wanted to go over today. Every day was like a war. With a deep sigh, she turned to the children again.

“Stop fighting!” Even today, dinner seems likely to be late.
