At the Northern Fort

"By the way, I've been wondering..."

After eating the apples, Kix stops making fun of me and looks at Rekka.

"What's that thing on your wrist?"

Oh, this is it.

Ms. Rekka raises her right hand and says: I wore a thick black band on my left wrist as well as my right hand. For a bracelet, it is a fashionable band made of fabric and bone.

"This weighs in." It's not just on my wrist, it's on my ankle. "

"Why is it like such torture..."

Kicks raised his eyebrows to say he didn't understand the meaning.

Rekka explains with a refreshing smile.

"My arms and legs have muscle strength, and by putting loads on my body on a daily basis and getting used to my disability, I thought I could move faster than ever when I took it off."

"Well done, that's what I do."

The kicks were exaggerated, but Tina seemed to be interested.

"Where did you buy it?" I'll also buy it to strengthen my muscles.

This isn't a girl's conversation, is it?

"Start with something light so it doesn't hurt your wrist or ankle. The vice president introduced me to the shop."

The knight with one eye nodded at Rekka's words.

"In a familiar shop." There are many products that you can't get anywhere else to train your body. "

What kind of shop is that, for the muscle-loving tourists?

Ms. Rekka turns to Ms. Tina.

"If you're interested, I'll come with you next time."

"Is that okay?" I want to go. "

Seeing that the girls were cheering up, the kicks pulled by Ms. Reka also said this.

"But sure enough, it might be cool to weigh in." I wanted to take it off when I pinched it and try to reverse the trend and defeat the enemy.... no, but I hate wearing it all the time. I won't do it. "

Quick kicks to give up. I hate trying too hard.

But I saw someone else wearing it besides Rekka, but is it making Rekka popular?

“Maybe so. The First Officer taught me that even when I wasn't training, I thought it would be wonderful to be able to train my body, so I introduced it to everyone."

It was probably the northern fortress that weighed heavily on my body. My brother will be brought to the northern fortress when he's born, but when he grows up with his knights as a model, he might get muscular.

"I want my brother to be cute, so Mukimuki is a bit..."

I secretly swore to stop my brother from saying he wanted to weigh on his wrist.

"Well then, let's go home quickly!" Good luck with your work. "

Say hello to Snowlea.

Bye, Mill.

After the lunch break, I returned to my residence so as not to interfere with everyone's work. When she returned in an instant using the movement technique, her mother sat on the bed she had placed in the cave and seemed to be free.

Mother's stomach is swollen like that of a pregnant woman of the moon.

Mother, just now!

"Oh, welcome back, milfilia."

It looks like you're a coward, isn't it?

I rush to my mother's feet and look up at her and say:

Absolutely not boring.

Mother says as if she is tired of it.

"It's quite difficult to look around Mount Snowlea on a daily basis in a human form." Walking around in the snow with a heavy belly is also a billion dollars. "

"Yeah, don't go out in the snow." I'm here to blame you. "

I don't think you need to worry about your body cooling down because your mother is a snow spirit. I don't think she's as delicate as a human pregnant woman, but she's never taken care of her body.

I put my hand on my mother's lap and stood on my hind legs, hoofing my nose on my grew stomach.

Even though it's my mother's body, my stomach smells of water spirits similar to my father's.

Still not born?

Milfilia doesn't listen to it every day.

Mother laughed a little there before continuing.

"Well, it doesn't seem like you'll be born today or tomorrow." It's about time you came out, but you're relaxing in your stomach. "

Not yet.

Snorting his nose, he exhaled. I can't wait to be born.

Hurry up and come out.

When I was tapping my mother's stomach with the tip of my nose, I suddenly noticed water behind me. Fog builds up in the cave, gathering in one place and thickening.

It looks like my father came here using his mobility technique.

"... milfilia"

The father, who appeared, looked at me and smiled a little. My father is basically expressionless, so this is definitely a full smile.

And for some reason, my father bears a large cage that he used when collecting camels. It's funny to be dressed like a god in Greek mythology, but carrying a common cage.

"Father! Welcome back!"

In fact, my father has been living with us since his mother's pregnancy was discovered. Perhaps the most important reason is that she is worried about her mother and her baby, but it seems that she wanted to live with me on this occasion. "I also want to live with... milfilia..." she told me before.

At first, Mother didn't look good to Father to live here, but now she seems to be accepting whether she gave up or something.

I would never have given up before, but the awareness that the three of us are family has sprung up, and maybe my father has become a little special.

I am very happy to be able to live with my father. Recently, I am in a mood not only because my brother will be born, but also because I am in a situation where my mother and father are both in the same situation when I return to my home.

"Ufufu..."

There's your mother, there's your father, and there's your brother.

By the way, my father seems to be hibernating when Mount Snowlea is too cold and looks like a big snake, and he always looks like a human here.

"By the way, Father, what's in that basket?"

"This is it..."

When his father lowered the cage he was carrying, there was a lot of dead grass in it.

”Hahahaha”

What do you use it for? As he wondered, his father lifted the cage and approached his mother, who was sitting on the bed.

What is it?

"The bed is... I thought I'd better stay soft..." I got it.... "

Apparently, my father brought a lot of dead grass for his mother. Sure, my mother and I used to sleep on the dead grass in the cave, but now we have a bed.

Mother seems to think the same thing as me, and raises her eyebrows and says.

"I don't want that kind of grass because I have a bed." This blanket feels better than that. "

Mother grabbed the blanket on the bed and cheeked. Mother absolutely loved the blanket. I prefer a blanket to a dead leaf.

"I see..."

I'd be a little shocked if I took it, but my father nodded facelessly and placed the cage on the ground.

Now, when I scavenge the dead grass in the cage, I take out a few flowers from it.

Wow, flowers!

In the middle of winter, flowers are precious in this area. My father must have gone somewhere to pick these flowers in different seasons.

"I didn't have any special feelings for flowers... but Milfilia was always happy to find flowers... so I thought Snowlea would be happy..."

Then my father put the flower on the pillow of the bed.

"... well, let's get this over with, shall we?"

Unlike me, I don't think Mother particularly likes flowers, but I honestly received them.

"I've also... picked flowers for my milfilia..."

"Me, too? Thank you."

My father offered me a wheel of flowers, but a fox with only the forefoot can't take it. So my father got a little lost and put flowers in my hair around my neck.

No, you can leave it on the bed. Don't put it in a strange place.

"After that... what do you need?" What do you need to give birth...? If I have a child... what do I need? "

My father has a hard time reading emotions, but he hasn't been feeling comfortable lately. It seems that I am worried about whether I will be born safely at the same time as waiting for the birth of a child in a frustrated way from the leader of the support group.

My father usually barely moves, but now that childbirth is near, he hasn't stood still at all. Even in this cave, my mother is angry at me for walking around in vain, except when I'm sleeping.

Perhaps my mother will be angry when I wander around during childbirth.

When I secretly enjoyed my father's change,

Oh?

My mother noticed something and put her hand on her stomach.

"It looks like the child just moved." Unlike Milfilia, who used to move a lot in her stomach, it's unusual for a child who can barely move. "

"I see... I'm glad you're doing well..."

Father approaches his mother, crouches in front of the bed, and gazes at his stomach with gentle eyes.

"Now... I wonder what she's thinking..."

"Come on. I don't know what the fetus is thinking."

Mother laughed and stroked her stomach, and her father was still staring at it.

You're both looking forward to having a baby.

But something... um...

Milfilia?

When I jumped on the bed, Nii stood up and insisted on his existence.

I know you're looking forward to my brother's birthday, but don't you forget I'm here! There's a cute little fox right here!

"What? Are you jealous of your brother? He's cute."

My mother raised her voice and laughed, and my father held me up and stroked his head.

"Don't worry... milfilia is special..."
