Tall Villainesses Are Obsessed

Loving Grandma.

“Grandma.. are you sleeping?”
Lita cautiously called out.
“I’m not sleeping.”
Skallat responded to Lita’s call.
He couldn’t help but feel extremely confused, wondering if he was currently dreaming.
He ate delicious food and lay down in a cozy place.
After going through hardships, I thought the underworld was waiting for us, but it turned out to be a completely different place, not the underworld.
‘Is this the right thing to do?’
The skalibat was too confusing.
“That… is it a man’s word… could he be a good person?”
Rita told me.
Can’t a man who gave us food and offered a bed be a good person?
Of course, it was natural to think that a man’s actions, seen until now, meant he was a good person.
“He even gave us something to eat.. he released what was hanging on the neck.”
Rita lightly wrapped the neck that was hanging with the chain.
Although it was just a little while ago, a large chain was wrapped around the dark neck.
There was a slight restraint, but that wasn’t important. What mattered was that it was removed.
The skalibat also wrapped the neck.
It felt comfortable.
Without the chain holding the neck, it felt too comfortable.
The words of the man who bound a chain for us.
“This is not something that can be easily undone.”
The man said that it couldn’t be easily undone.
However, the man who brought us here easily unraveled the chain.
If I think about the work in the market, it was something that could not be expressed in words.
‘With magic in a gentleman’s way..’
A man used magic in a gentleman’s way.
No matter how difficult living in this world was, the truth was unchanged that a gentleman was essential when using magic.
Because without a gentleman, magic cannot be realized; moreover, even if it were, the power would be too weak.
‘However, the man’s power was too strong.’
When the man used magic, Scalp observed the man’s defeat directly.
A man who uses magic without neglecting the gentleman. Could it be Babo?
“Thud!”
It was not just any man, but not Babo.
People began to scream as a dazzling light from the man using magic lit up, and inside the brightly shining big two men were caught.
“Aaah!!!”
The two who faced the man’s magic fell to the floor, writhing like people dying in a blazing fire, while inside they were laughing.
‘What…!’
Scalp could not stop the shock of seeing the man’s magic.
A gentleman’s magic made it so easy to face two men.
This was impossible due to an incident.
What if the man is a great magician who saw the end of magic?

Then everything matched in its place.
The fact that using proper magic without a gentleman’s intervention could, after a few flicks of a finger, unravel us as well.
‘Then isn’t there no reason for us to be bought?’ she asked earnestly.
The truth is, he had no reason to purchase us if he were a great lawyer.
Yet, for a man who claimed to be a great lawyer, it was natural to have women cling to him, so why come all the way to the old market to buy us?
In the end, the scalpel couldn’t reach a conclusion.
While it was certain that the man who came to take us was not an ordinary person, they failed to uncover the true nature of the man.
After thinking hard, the scalpel turned to Rita and spoke.
“Rita, listen closely. Of course, it’s true that the man offered us good food and a place to sleep and even released us from detention. But that doesn’t mean we can call him kind.”
“Why..?”

“You said it yourself. People don’t help others for no reason. So surely that man must want something from us.”
“What could he want..?”
“I don’t know for sure either. But it’s certain that what he wants from us isn’t something ordinary.”
“…..”
“So you must be careful too.”
After finishing her words, the scalpel turned around and looked at the lamp.
Rita followed the scalpel’s gaze to the lamp and stared at it.
‘Auntie…’
Rita stared at the lamp for a long time in silence.
In reality, Rita knew that her aunt, the scalpel, always sacrificed herself for Rita’s sake.
She was born with a constitution that was weak, and because of that, she often fell ill and could catch a cold easily if she went outside.
“Why was such a frail girl born to someone like me?”
Her mother said this while looking at Rita with a mixture of affection and frustration.
“……..”
In my mother’s chaotic arms, I just shed tears.
‘I didn’t want to be born weak either…’
I also hated being born weak.
I wanted to play and run like other children.
I wanted to play all night and eat delicious food abundantly.
However, for me, those days were a luxury.
“Rita.”
On days when I suffered from pain due to my illness, my aunt would always take care of me.
“……”
My aunt, who would raise the blanket to my head.
My only aunt, Scarlett, would always support me in this way.
When my body ached, it was my aunt who stayed with me all night, comforting me.
To such an aunt, the only word I could say was thank you.
That’s how my vision blurred. As if consumed by a void, I spent every day with my aunt.
We ate together and played together.
Of course, at night, the voices of my parents arguing reached me, and it seemed like tears were about to fall, but my aunt would always hold me tight at those times.
That day was the same.
As usual, my parents were fighting.
However, as the time passed, my father was getting more violent and my mother was getting a bruise on her face.
[Thump..thump..]
Whenever my father hit my mother, the tears tangled with the auburn color of my aunt’s hair.
‘I..I have to say..’
I hesitated deeply, but moved my feet to talk to my father.
“….”
My mother in her seat showed no sign of movement, like a character in a portrait.
“Oh..Dad..never mind…”
I attempted to stop my father.
[Rumbling-]
In that moment, I felt my body lift into the air.
[Swoosh.]
A piercing sound echoed in my head.
As if, an image of my mother with black hair flashed in my mind.
Gradually fading away.
The last thing I saw was my mother hastily moving toward me.
“…….”
In that moment, losing my mind, I closed my eyes.
I was on my mother’s back.
‘I was hidden at our home..’
I realized it instinctively.
That I could never return home again.
“Hmph..hmph…”
While I was on my mother’s back, I heard my mother sobbing.
‘Mother…’
Always a strong hand in front of me. A hand that has been protecting me, my grandmother’s hand.
Grandmother wiped away her tears, and I wiped away the tears on such a grandmother’s back.
‘How come…why only to us…’
Why does this only happen to us?
We’ve walked this path without hesitation.
How far did we walk? I took many steps hearing grandmother’s cry, opened the door of a house, and a woman came out from there.
“Mother, are you okay?! Child!!”
A woman was running towards us.
“Li.. Lita.. Liche..”
Finally, grandmother managed to sit there.
“Grandmother!!”
I, who was standing behind grandmother, tried to wake her up.
But grandmother didn’t move at all, as if she was a dead person.
“First, come inside.”
A woman guided us into the house.
Though I was afraid of such a woman’s actions, I had to save grandmother, so I followed the woman.
However, the place I entered after opening the door was completely different from what I had imagined.
There were many children looking similar yet different from me, and other women except for that woman were playing with the children.
What on earth was this…
While seeing that scene, I couldn’t close my mouth.
Aunt Scarlet went into the room for treatment, and there was no one other than me.
Everyone was watching me quietly.
The children were cautiously looking at my face.
Among the children who cautiously looked at my face, one came up to me and spoke.
“Hi? Did you come here too?”
The little boy asked me a question.
I asked the boy in return if he meant me.
He asked what this place was.
“This is a place where a lot of friends come! When you’re here, does a new mom and dad come to find you?”
Rita realized from the child’s words that this place was an orphanage.
In this way, Rita kept talking to the children until completing the procedure for guardianship.
Rita looked at Aunt, who was lying down.
My swollen hand and foot were painfully injured.
The foot, especially, seemed swollen as if it came from walking a lot, on a path.
Fortunately, before too long Aunt woke up from her sleep, and when she saw me, she burst into tears.
“Aunt…”
Aunt looked at me and burst into tears. I hugged such an aunt tightly and cried together.
After that, we began to live in the orphanage.
At first, Aunt was wary of everything at the orphanage.
She always stood by when I was talking with the teacher, no matter where it was, going together.
Perhaps due to her misunderstanding, the elderly woman warmed up to the caregivers, laughing and spending the days with them.
When she woke up in the morning, she would eat breakfast and play with her friends. As lunchtime came, they took a nap. And when evening came, after having dinner together, they would fall asleep listening to the teacher read picture books.
Every day was happy and beautiful for us.
Rita quietly clasped her hands and prayed.
‘Please… make every day like today.’
Every day was full of anticipation and happiness.
Rita prayed to some unknown deity or god.
Finally, they found a place to set up their home, Skallett and Rita.
After finishing her prayer, Rita quickly fell into a deep sleep.
“Children, wake up!!”
How much sleep had they indulged in?
The loud voice of the teacher woke them from their slumber.
‘Is it morning already..?’
Rita opened her eyes with a blink.
Yet her body settled deeply into that seat.
The light that she thought was a bright sunbeam was actually gathering up our memories.
