I'm home.
"... I'm home"
"Oh, Ka E Ri!
"Welcome back!
Upon returning to the dungeon, Shi immediately realizes that she was helping with the chores or running over here with the laundry, and Lew, who seems to have folded the laundry near her, speaks up.
Rayce, it looks like our daughters were in the living room, flying around us fluffy...
"- What about that, Iruna?
Usually, when I go home, I fly first...... I guess I've never been outside on my own more than I have Sy and Reis daughters here.
And when I say that, Shi looks a little worried.
"That Ne, Iruna, if it was you, it would have been you."
Kawah... a river.
He used to be the one I built in the meadow area.
"Mm... are you hurt?
To Refi's inquiry, now Lew opens his mouth.
"That seemed like a ravage wound, so Shi cured it with the magic of 'heels'. I hear so. It's just that I'm feeling a little sick because I took a bath in the water and cooled my body... now I look like an inn"
"Uh... I see"
- Hi, looks like Iruna caught a cold.
"The potion... shouldn't I use it"
When she asks that of Layla, who is making sick cannibals with her, she sifts and shakes her neck to the side.
"Yeah, I don't think you can take it if you're seriously ill, but Iruna has a light cold this time, so I was wondering if self-healing would be better. Not really, because I have a record of weakening my body when I'm sick and taking all the potions."
You're not that learned, but I know why.
Perhaps if you have used potions all the time since you were a child to heal them, you will not be immune to the body.
"I see... so you caught a cold yesterday?
"Right, he probably had a fever since last night, but it was yesterday that he found out he had a cold - - Demon King, I've got an itch, so please take it to Iruna."
"Oh, it looks delicious"
What Leila did with the balls was itch made of leeks, eggs and small meat dumplings.
"With Layla here, it's really helpful... it's not that hard to cook, but it looks delicious"
"Huff, they all look delicious, so I'm in the mood to make them too. I'd like to ask you one thing: The Demon King is making... juice, is it -?
"Oh. I'd rather be this way in case of a cold."
Warm the simple sports drinking water made of salt, lemon juice and sugar to a warm temperature and place in a water bottle.
"Ho ho... can you tell me why later -?
"Later."
Overflowing with bitterness with the same Leila, I grabbed the water bottle by the side and put Leila in the basin, leaving the kitchen to the door that leads to the outside between the True Throne.
Iruna says she's sleeping at the inn right now, so she manipulates the door and changes her destination to you, and goes inside.
And as soon as I got in, I opened a handicap door - it was Iruna lying in the futon and Leffi who was watching me first.
My daughter-in-law reacts to the sound and turns her face here.
"Iruna is..."
"Um, I'm asleep now"
Sit next to Refi, who answers in a low voice, and place the basin with the water bottle and the toilet on top of the tatami.
Put your hand on her forehead...... you do have a little fever.
However, as Layla said, it doesn't seem to be heavy.
This will probably heal in less than a few days.
Measuring Iruna's fever, my daughter-in-law groans.
"You have a cold... Non has never caught a cold in his life. Again, is it hard?
"Quite. You have sore throat, runny nose, hard breathing, or a headache or warm but chilly. Sometimes I want to sleep because it's hard to be awake, but I don't sleep much because of my body's dalliness."
"Oh, is that so terrible? Why don't you use the potion to do it?
"I don't think Iruna feels that hard either, because it's not that hot this time. Isn't that a little dally?
"Oh well..."
I keep saying the words, smiling at Refi, who exhales like a ho reliever.
"Refi, you can go back and eat your dinner. I'll see how it goes, too, 'cause if I feed Iruna, I'll go that way."
"Mm, okay. I'll reheat your share later, so take good care of Iruna."
"Oh, thank you."
That's how I gently shake the shoulders of a blonde toddler as Refi returns to the True Throne Room.
"Iruna"
"... mmm..."
Slowly, Iruna opens her eyelids.
"That... stay? It's a dream..."
With a slightly blurred look, Iruna says so in a more plundering voice than usual.
"Haha, it's not a dream. I just left. He fell in the river and caught a cold?
"Really? I was looking for a beautiful stone, Dobby."
"That river is shallow and the flow is slow, so I don't mind playing, but we have to be careful from now on. If you hit me in the head or something, it's gonna be tough, okay?
"Hmm... sorry"
"If you get it, fine. - Look, Iruna, it's dinner. Can you eat that?
"Come on, feed me."
"I can't help it."
I laughed and grabbed my hand at Iruna, who was sweeter than usual, waking up her torso and torso.
- Then often, when I'm feeding her, Iruna looks kind of sooo happy to nico.
"Eh heh..."
"? What's up?
"You know, I'm so happy. Everyone's worried."
"Well, I'll worry about it. It's an important family."
"Yeah... you know, I'm glad about that. Shh, heels me full of worries. The children of Reyes came here many times to make sure they didn't catch a cold."
"Oh, you did"
Sure, Leis, I don't suppose you'll have a cold moving on your daughters.
I don't have any flesh.
... or is Iruna able to communicate with them, after all?
I can understand the will to some extent because those three sisters are dungeon monsters...
"So, Layla, hey, you cook for me when I'm sick, wipe my body, help me change, take care of me. Lew, hey, do all the chores instead of Leila. That's how we all feel so happy and thankful for everything."
"Well... then I need to cure the cold and get better soon and return the thanks."
"Yeah! I'll give you back a lot!
After laughing happily at it, Iruna continues her words.
"But you know what, thanks to you for everything"
"? Thanks to me?
Cochlear and she nods.
"Come on, you're taking care of everyone, so what? They work so hard every day for everyone, they're here, they're so cozy, I think I'll be nice to someone else. So - thank you so much, too."
――――
Unconsciously, I felt something gushing up my chest, and I stroked her head pompously to delude her.
Slightly higher body temperature, coming from the flat of your hand.
Her, life.
I... as the guardian of these kids - I meant to spend my days as a parent (...).
I've never raised a child, and I don't think I'm a good enough person to teach things to myself, but I'm still an adult, so I've always been a 'fine guardian' Zura.
Nothing, that's not why I was feeling weird, and if I had any problems, I would have talked to Refi and someone else, and I would have spent my days relying on everyone... do I mean that I could have been quite a proxy?
Can I even put my chest up on the dead Iruna's parents?
…… Hey, what's going on?
- It's nothing.
- It's good when Iruna is blurry.
I deliberately turned my voice into something bright and opened my mouth, taking care not to let my voice tremble.
"Go to sleep if you eat. I need Iruna to get better soon, 'cause we can't play together!
"Mm, I play a lot!
Iruna looked up at me with an inch of cloudless smile.
