Master, May I Suck It Up? (Lisrene)

Chapter 10

It had been a pretty unlucky morning.

Irene had been called to the main building, another crazy madman wanted to get married to her, she frightened the man by getting crazily drunk and wanting to fight him and afterward her stepmother was waiting for her.

'She had been quiet for a while.'

When she got back from the overwhelming drunkenness filling her whole body, Irene lost her energy and didn't want to do anything.

When she was sober, it was hard enough to listen to her stepmother's constant and insistent berating. Now that she was inebriated, she felt like she was on the verge of her sanity. Fortunately, she wasn't one to yell when she was drunk, but sometimes she exploded with anger like a seizure.

'Why are you telling me to get out of this house for so long? You thought I would leave nicely? Well, you don't even want to see me on the map. What should I do to make it worse? To the point where she doesn't want to find me even when I'm drunk.'

Irene, who was sitting on the bed and agonizing over it, stopped thinking and laid down. She couldn't do anything but worry about things that didn't have an answer.

"What are Emma and Brie doing?"

Today was a day when she missed the two larks, who would normally stick next to Irene and comfort her constantly.

"Lisa! Come here."

She wasn't particularly sad, but she needed comfort. Since childhood, she felt better when she touched Lisa's curly hair, so now was the time she needed Lisa.

"Come up here."

Lisa tilted her head gently and blinked her eyes slowly. It was the same blank confused expression that Irene got when she ordered her to do something out of the norm.

'I don't have the strength to sit up, so you come up.'

Lisa gently fell on the bed when Irene, who jumped up and couldn't stand her frustration, dragged her. The bed wobbled a lot due to Lisa's large size.

"Lay down here!"

While Lisa leaned calmly on the place where Irene thumped, her eyes were still blinking quickly as if she didn't know what Irene was saying.

Irene also lay down and faced Lisa. It was a little cramped, but it didn't matter. Beyond the soft sheet, the warm temperature of Lisa felt comforting.

'It's just like when I was young. Back then, I hugged her every day.'

When Irene suddenly remembered her childhood, her heart tickled. As she did as a child, Irene continued to talk, hugging Lisa's head in her chest and burying her fingers deep in lush brown hair.

"How much money do I spend? Isn't it too shameless to keep trying to sell me off god-knows-where? I understand that you don't want to see me. It's the same for me. No, shouldn't they bring someone handsome and tall? Shouldn't you have the sincerity to bring someone who looks strong? Are they dumb? I won't even leave this house even if I'm possessed! But you only bring old and ancient seniors......."

It wasn't that Irene didn't like men. Rather, she held excessive curiosity in that direction. After hearing that men have to have tall noses, she only looked at their noses every time she met someone, but unfortunately, the people brought by her stepmother had small, flat noses as if they were pressed down with an iron. As expected, this stepmother could not do anything good for Irene.

"But... you."

Irene had poured out words that she couldn't say to anyone because she thought she couldn't understand them anyway and inadvertently lifted Lisa's face. Lisa let her gently raise her head, looked around at her sudden forward gaze and slowly blinked her eyelids. The nose between those dark reddish-brown eyes.......

'It's really big!'

Irene recalled what she saw when she first washed Lisa. It wasn't even comparable to a child's forearm, but as big as her own forearm!

Irene looked carefully at Lisa's nose. The smooth stretch had no curves, and how high it rose seemed to remind her of the highest mountain range in the kingdom.

'Was Lisa's nose this handsome?'

It was a handsome nose; she could affirm as an expert. It was the best nose she'd ever seen.

Ahem.

Irene, who had no reason to clear her throat, buried her hands in Lisa's fluffy hair again. There was still a long story left.

"So today......."

Lisa was silently listening to her for hours even though she couldn't understand. Perhaps that's why words that she couldn't dare to say to Emma and Brie naturally came out.

"I'm going to hold on. Even by a thread."

Finally, her eyes closed, Irene fell asleep while holding Lisa in her arms. It was a warm night after a long time, as if she had returned to her childhood.
