Chapter 120.1

The sound made my body bounce. It wasn’t a whisper, but it just had to be the person we were talking about.

“D-Dad…!”

My chest, which had jumped to the other side, fluctuated as if it had broken. It was as if someone was shaking it wildly in their hands.

Thump, thump.

“Why are you so flustered?”

“Oh, no. I’m not flustered!”

“Were you cursing at me?”

“Huh? N-No! Wel, yes, I was flustered because I was cursing my father!”

Contrary to my intentions, my mouth just moved. Sweat dripped down my back. I didn’t even know what to say to my dad.

“I definitely thought it was weird.”

Dad smiled and got closer. The unusually bright moonlight filled the room today, and thanks to that, I could see all of my dad’s actions… until I couldn’t see it anymore.

“Haha… Dad, when did you get here?”

“Just now. Are you pretending not to know?”

“No, no way, haha…”

I shook my head from side to side, waving my hands hastily.

“Me, no. I wasn’t cursing at you. I just wanted to talk to you for a second… Dad, what brings you here?”

“What do you mean? Is it such a surprise that I’m here?”

“No, that’s not it… Haha… I mean…”

“But Bebe, I heard you talking from outside…”

“No, Dad. I’m sure you heard it wrong, maybe…”

All of a sudden, Sylvie stood next to me and said nothing. At times like this, I wonder why he decided to come forward. It’s as if he was acting that this had nothing to do with him.

He rolled his eyes towards Sylvie in bewilderment, but Sylvie looked at us with a blank expression, as if he knew nothing. Bad guy. No, bad dog!

“Bebe, Dad is…”

“D-Dad, I had something else to say!”

“I didn’t know… you’d curse…”

He twitched his lips with a strange expression and repeated himself, as if I had seriously hurt my dad. I quickly changed the topic.

Fortunately, my dad fell for it.

“Dad, can I ask you a favor? No, I will!”

“What is it?”

“I want to meet Harris.”

Perhaps it was an unexpected remark, but Sylvie and Dad looked at each other with their mouths opened at the same time.

“Why?”

“I just want to see her at least once. I don’t think I’ve ever talked to her properly.”

“Shall we go together?”

“No! I want it to be just us two!”

I told my dad after he asked me why I wanted to do this, but Sylvie stared at me with such curiosity.

‘But this will make me feel safe too.’

That way, Dad will know if something went wrong. My dad doesn’t seem to know that Harris was acting strange.

‘But I don’t even know if… Dad is under black magic.’

Even if he was brainwashed, he’d realize that Sylvie’s a dog.

“Do you have to?”

“Yes, I want to.”

“…But I’m still worried about my dad. Harris…”

“What about Harris?”

I looked at him with sparkling eyes, wondering if he had noticed it already.

“It just doesn’t feel right.”

“Yeah, it doesn’t feel right, so I want to meet her.”

What did he mean? Dad’s eyes blinked very slowly. I couldn’t even believe what he said.

“You want to meet her too, so let’s go.”

“But even if I go… Dad would still be against it.”

“No, I want to meet her. I was going to try and meet her secretly, but I’m asking for your permission. You know that I’m really strong, so there’s nothing to worry about!”

My dad’s forehead crumpled.

“Bebe, that…”

“Why don’t I meet her at a place where everyone can see it?”

I persuaded my father for a long time. Finally, Dad nodded his head with a deep sigh.

“Fine, but I want you to meet in a place where everyone can see, got it?”

“Okay! I was going to do that anyway!”

“Phew! Today, I came in to talk to you about something else but you beat me to it.”

“What was it?”

“Uh, that Sylvie…”

“Oh, I’m sleepy. I’m going to bed now.”

It felt like my dad was going to talk about Sylie, so I hurriedly wrapped myself in a blanket and leaned on my mom.

“Really… How cute. How could you do such cute things?”

“Daddy, Bebe needs to go to bed now, so please leave.”

“Alright, I’ll leave. Instead of sleeping here, let’s go to bed. It’ll be uncomfortable.”
