I Raised Snow White!

91. Mirror

[Episode 91] – Mirror

Snow White trembled with a sense of self-destruction.

Although she said it was to make fun of Titania, she made it seem like she was on good terms with Vivian, which made her feel really pathetic and foolish. If she were her old self, she would never have said something stupid like this…

‘…In the end, did I admit it too?’

Snow White glanced up and looked at Titania, who was quietly angry. She seemed really foolish to see Titania fidgeting because she was afraid that Vivian would be taken away from her. Unlike herself, she is a pure and cute idiot. She burst into laughter at the reaction befitting a thirteen-year-old.

“I’m just kidding, so come sit here.”

“…I don’t like it. “When I look at you, I feel irritated inside.”

That goes for me too.

The words

Came up to the top of her throat, but Snow White couldn’t bring herself to say them. Because she had a vague idea of why Titania was so annoyed. She was sure the reason for her irritation was similar to that of Titania.

‘I guess I’m angry that Titania likes Vivian, and Titania is angry that I hate Vivian.’

As she thought about that, Snow White thought that Titania and herself were like reflections in a mirror. Her face is the same, but it reflects something different. He was clear that the reason he and Titania were so different was because of ‘Vivian’.

For the past three years, Snow White spent a lot of time alone due to the ‘experiment.’ The fact that he had a lot of time to be alone meant that he had a lot of time to think for himself. What I thought about most during that time was none other than ‘Vivian here.’

At first, I felt extremely hateful. He really hated Vivian for doing ‘things like that’ to him and for living a really happy life here. He even hated the fact that here he was freely showing his ‘parental side’ that he had never shown to himself.

However, after meeting the Vivian here a few times, he was able to notice that there was something different about the Vivian here from the Vivian he knew. At first, I thought the person here, Titania, was different.

Because Titania knew how to be loved by others unlike herself, she thought that even Vivian loved Titania. So, she thought she was killed by Vivian because she didn’t know how to be loved by others.

However, no matter how much I thought about it, what was different here was Vivian.

Titania was able to become so lovely because Vivian here was different.

Titania was able to be so happy because Vivian here was different.

Titania was able to love Vivian like that because Vivian here was different.

Because Vivian here is different…

When Snow White thought that, she burst into laughter.

Even though I realized that Vivian here was different, I still hated Vivian. He was so, so, so hateful, he never wanted to see it again. So he did not participate in prom events for three years. Sometimes, when he wanted to hang out, he only chose to attend proms that Vivian was unlikely to attend.

But what kind of coincidence is this?

She really didn’t want to meet her, so she even wore a mask that hindered her recognition, but somehow the woman came looking for her. The only reason she had the same face as Titania was because she ignored magic, and for such a ridiculous reason, she came to see her. She looked at herself, and she gave a knowing look.

That fact was so absurd that I was both embarrassed and confused. Because I really had no intention of meeting you. And what I really can’t understand is the feeling I felt when the absurdity and confusion subsided…

‘I’m glad you recognized me…’

I was so embarrassed by that fact that I quickly became angry.

Instead of being angry at Vivian, he was angry at himself.

I melted at the smile that was just looking at me, and the fact that I felt even a little happy made me angry because it was absurd. The fact that I was so happy looking at Vivian made me feel extremely self-destructive. I was angry that I had received pleasure from Vivian and no one else.

Is that why it was like that? The moment she found out that the Great Witch had come, she felt Vivian grab her by the wrist and at the same time, a terrible sense of betrayal tightened her heart.

‘The reason you recognized me was because of the great witch? Is that why she pretended to be so friendly? To sell me to the great witch. ‘The fact that you changed was all my mistake?’

It was clear that he felt betrayed and treated Vivian even more sharply. So, the moment I decided to leave Vivian’s side and never see her again and never come here again, Vivian screamed.

Listen to the story.

I want to talk to you.

…Now that I think about it, I feel like I’ve never had a proper conversation with Vivian until now. Because I just hated it one-sidedly, hated it one-sidedly. Because I thought it was right and acted that way.

In the old days, I would have said, ‘You’re talking like a conversation!’ I would have screamed, ‘Get out!’ But…

‘…It’ll be okay once in a while. ‘There’s something I want to ask too.’

Resting her chin and sighing, Snow White glanced up and looked at Titania, who was watching her. Snow White asked Titania, snorting at her puppy-like growl.

“Titania.”

“Why…?”

“I won’t take Vivian away, so don’t stare at me like that. I have no intention of taking it away in the first place. Therefore…”

Snow White patted the spot next to her with her palm and looked at Titania. At the signal for her to quickly come here and sit down, Titania hesitated and slowly approached Snow White.

“First of all, can you tell me what kind of person Vivian is?”

“Why me…?”

“If you don’t like it, don’t.” Because there are many people other than you who will listen. For example… a mirror hanging around your neck.”

-Me…?

“What can I do? They say they don’t like Titania? Then she should ask you. Besides, don’t you have something you want to ask me? “The story about how I stole your body.”

-Well, that is… But…

Snow White looked at Titania as if telling her to look at this and burst out laughing.

Titania, who was moved by the mocking laughter as if she had many people to tell her about besides you, walked up to Snow White with long strides, and then she sat down on the seat next to her and pursed her lips.

“Are you going to tell me?”

“Yes. Since you don’t seem to know, I’m going to explain it to you step by step. “What kind of person is your mother?”

She was about to burst out laughing at the sight of Titania speaking clearly, but Snow White bit her lower lip to hold back her laughter and looked at Titania sitting next to her.

“So, when I was 6 years old-“

Titania’s eyes sparkled as she took Vivian into her mouth, and then she began to unfold her own biography. I never thought I would start talking about her from the first time we met.

As Snow White looked at Titania, she remembered her own childhood.

From noble mtl dot com

His past was dull and depressing. Unlike himself, who forced himself to smile just to survive, he smiled happily and spoke of his loved one.

Seeing Titania’s completely different appearance, Snow White just smiled bitterly.

“-In the old days, there weren’t that many witches, so the Kirven was small. There weren’t that many talented kids. “400 Years ago, when the existence of Kirven was in danger-“

I feel like I’m going to die.

No, I’m really dying. A story about the history of Kirven and the history of witches that continues for several hours. And Morgan’s history story made me feel like I was dying.

I thought I knew why Ainsel evaluated Morgan as a very meddlesome grandmother. That’s right, if you feel like you’re not concentrating during the story, ask like a pair of tweezers, ‘What are you doing…? ‘Are you listening…?’ She asked. There is no such thing as horror.

Really, this old lady doesn’t get tired of talking. Even though the sun has already set and night has come, she doesn’t stop talking. She was almost worried that this would hurt her mouth.

And she never imagined that listening to stories would be this difficult. She had to react sometimes, and the corners of her mouth were already starting to cramp up because she was forcing herself to smile. While she was just shouting in her mind, ‘Please stop…!’

Deeng- Deeng-

“Hmm? “What does this mean?”

“…I guess the prom is over. Now the bell rings for everyone to go home.”

The bell rang, signaling the end of the dance.

I never thought we’d talk until after the ball…

Should I say it’s a good thing that the children’s prom ends early? If it had been a masquerade ball for adults, it would have begun now. Then I wouldn’t have been able to return home. I would have had to listen to Morgan’s history here until dawn.

“I see… It’s a pity, but I guess I’ll have to stop here. “You should probably go home soon.”

“That’s right…! It’s so sad…! It was so much fun…! “I’m so sad it’s ending…!!”

“Baby… hehehehe… It’s been a long time since I’ve had a child listen so carefully to her real wife’s story.”

When I forced my admiration, I felt somewhat sorry when I saw Morgan’s shy smile as if he was truly moved. If other witches didn’t pay enough attention, would they end up doing this to me?

“I guess I should go back now too. “She’s been here longer than I thought.”

“Are you going back already?”

“hehehehe, even though it’s so disappointing, there’s nothing I can do about it. As the great witch, she has a lot of work to do…”

When I looked at Morgan with a bitter expression, Morgan stood up from the sofa, stretched and moved her chubby body. The moment I was about to welcome her, wondering if she would finally return, Morgan turned her body towards me and opened her arms wide.

Seeing Morgan with her arms wide open as if to give her a hug before parting ways, I sighed softly as if there was nothing I could do and gently hugged her.

Because Morgan is a little shorter than me, he rests his chin on my shoulder and pats my back. After we hugged for a while, Morgan started praising me.

“Baby, she really likes you. “You are the first one who has listened so intently to her mother’s story.”

“hahahaha…”

“So…”

As I was laughing out loud, Morgan lifted her tiptoes, put her lips to my ear, and whispered in a very low voice.

“I’ll just pretend I didn’t see that kid in the break room on the third floor today. But, there is no next time.”

After whispering that, Morgan took a step back, and then she looked at me and smiled. That laugh gave me goosebumps, and her shoulders shook without me knowing.

So, that means you know everything, right? The fact that I was hiding the princess, and the fact that the princess was there. All.

I got goosebumps, but I couldn’t help but smile awkwardly. I felt like if I said any more about it, the opportunity Morgan gave me would disappear. I just nodded and said thank you.

“Well then, see you next time. “Baby.”

“Yes… next time…”

Morgan, who was holding the doorknob, looked at me, smiled and gently waved his hand. I also waved goodbye to Morgan. Continue until Morgan walks out the door.
