75.
“Daughter.”
Mom, sitting at the dining table, called out to me.
At that time, we were touring Northern Europe together to celebrate my college graduation. That day, we had spent the entire day snowboarding at a ski resort in Lapland, so I was completely exhausted and dozing off.
“Mmm… what?”
“Nothing, you’re just pretty.”
Mom approached me as I was nodding off with a towel and stretched my cheeks.
“Who did our daughter take after to be this pretty? Hm?”
“Oh, Mom, really.”
Mom and I were a bit closer than typical mothers and daughters.
Since we were the only family each other had in this world, it was natural that we’d be more affectionate.
Having just come out of the sauna with my face flushed red, I giggled while touching my stretched cheeks. Mom watched me quietly and then spoke.
“Daughter, you have to be born as Mom’s child in the next life too. Got it?”
Yes.
I’ll be born as Mom’s daughter in the next life too. Mom. I love you. Mo-
“Mom?”
“Who’s your mom!”
What a shock!
Waking up from my sleep, I blinked at the familiar voice.
Rub rub rub rub.
After rubbing my eyes once with both hands, I looked at the elegantly stretched beautiful face and giggled.
“Ah, Mother!”
“I’m not your mother either! Kraaak!”
Then for some reason, Dokgo Yeon started thrashing about wildly.
‘Why is she acting like that?’
She used to pretend not to like it but was thrilled to death whenever I called her mom, so I don’t know why she’s being shy about it now.
I tilted my head to one side and fell into thought for a moment.
Then I suddenly realized.
‘Something seems… a bit different?’
Her eyes were red.
Her irises were originally red like blood, but now even her pupils were red.
If she were a normal human, her irises might be one thing, but her pupils couldn’t be red. Well, I’m not sure if Cheonma can really be considered within the category of normal humans.
Besides, the pupils weren’t the only problem.
Expression. Speech. Atmosphere.
Everything that forms a person’s identity was subtly different. The appearance was too frivolous for the Cheonma I remembered, so I opened my eyes wide and asked.
“Who are you?”
“Ha! You finally noticed!”
Then Dokgo Yeon- no, someone of unknown identity declared with an eerie expression.
“I am Jeonryunshinma. I don’t know what relationship you originally had with this woman, but you’d better not have false hopes. This body has already come completely under my control.”
I kindly corrected the woman who seemed slightly lacking in intelligence.
“We’re a mother-daughter relationship born from the heart.”
“…Heart?”
The woman who had hesitated suddenly got angry.
“Are you joking in front of me right now! How can you give birth to a child from your heart!”
“What? No, how can you say such discriminatory and barbaric things!”
I also shouted back.
“Originally, you give birth to children from your heart and raise them with your wallet!”
“What, what?”
“But actually, I’ve never given birth either, so I don’t really know.”
“Huh?”
At my words, the woman’s eyes shot up sharply. Demonic energy that seemed ready to kill hundreds of people at any moment flowed out from her entire body in streams.
“Look here, look here, you really keep climbing up to the very end! Insolent thing! I’ll cut off your head right now!”
“Uwah!”
Startled by her momentum, I fell backward. Then my back that was injured by Hyeollu Majon and my torn right foot tendon throbbed like crazy.
“Ack! Ack! It hurts like hell! Uhhhhhuuk.”
It really hurt so much, no joke.
Physiological tears burst out as I cried loudly, curled up on the ground, and trembled.
If only my leg hurt, I could at least roll around holding my leg, but since my entire back was deeply injured, even the light touch of fabric brushing against it was painful.
“!”
Seeing me like that, the woman froze in her attack position and trembled just the same.
“Damn it all! Kugh!”
Grabbing her right hand with her left hand, she leaned toward me, then pulled back.
Leaned forward.
Pulled back.
Leaning.
Pulling back.
Leaned forward again.
And pulled back again.
“Correct! What a jokester!”
At that ridiculous sight, I momentarily forgot even my severe pain and shouted.
Right after, a subtly painful flick hit my head directly.
“Uwak!”
“Haa, haa, haa…”
The woman who had barely managed to flick my head glared at her own hand with an extremely annoyed expression.
“What! I’m supposed to be satisfied with just flicking this brat who’s mocking me?”
“No, when did I ever mock you? Your word choice is a bit…”
“Wasn’t she a woman who casually abandoned even the followers who served her! You brat, just what did you do to Cheonma to be so persistent?!”
“Eh?”
Hearing that, I answered.
“Are you stupid? Moms naturally love their daughters tremendously.”
It’s not that I actually think of Dokgo Yeon as my real mom, but from her perspective, I’m her one and only foster daughter.
Still, through this exchange, a rough picture of the situation formed in my clouded mind.
‘When I read the Jeonryunshinmageup, Dokgo Yeon showed a strange reaction as if she was possessed by something.’
Dokgo Yeon would scold me but generally tried not to harm me.
But right after contact with Hyeolhon Chong’s secret manual, she attacked me or treated me like I didn’t exist. Her personality had completely changed from before, no exaggeration.
Through this, I reached a very simple conclusion.
“You fiend! You’re the evil spirit Jeonryunshinma who has taken over our mother’s body!”
“I’ve been talking about that for a while now! Damn it! What were you listening to!”
“I couldn’t hear because it hurt, why!”
Receiving my pointing finger, Jeonryunshinma drew her sword with creaking movements.
I also dodged her slowly swinging sword with very stiff movements due to pain.
Swoosh.
Swish.
Swoosh swoosh.
To be more precise, it was so slow that rather than swoosh swish, it was closer to swooooosh swiiiiish movements.
Jeonryunshinma, who had been repeating movements like a poorly oiled tin robot, threw her sword with a frustrated face.
Then she suddenly started banging her head against the cave wall.
“Damn! Hell! Blast it! Uwaaak!”
“Excuse me! Don’t bang it too hard! That’s our mother’s head!”
“Look at this filial daughter!”
“If Mother’s head gets smashed, who’s going to take care of me! I can barely walk on my own right now!”
“What an unfilial daughter! How can such an utterly unfilial person exist in this world!”
Jeonryunshinma, who had screamed, eventually gave up on headbutting and sat down on the floor, wailing loudly.
Sob.
Sob sob sob sob.
Sob sob sob sob sob sob…
“To think I’d suffer such humiliation because of one pretty little girl, despite having better material than the previous Cheonryun Sinmago! I’ve never experienced such disgrace in my thousands of years of life!”
She’s crying so pitifully.
Feeling somewhat sympathetic, I approached with a crab-like gait due to my aching back and feet, then patted Jeonryunshinma’s back.
“Don’t be too upset. Who knows how things might turn out later?”
“Waaaah.”
I offered what I thought was gentle comfort, but now she’s completely foaming at the mouth.
After some time passed like this.
“…”
Jeonryunshinma’s—no, Dokgo Yeon’s pupils return to black.
“Wow, it’s Mom! -Mmph?!”
Before my exclamation could even finish, Dokgo Yeon pulled me into a tight embrace.
