At the Northern Fort

Just as I returned to the northern fort with Ferrara, my mother's labor began, and I rushed around holding Reese in a hurry.

"Huh!? Does it look delicious? Mother, I'm fine!?"

…………

My father, who has always spoken too little, was upset and became even quieter. However, his expression was louder than usual, and now he was wrinkled between his brows and his eyes were swimming.

"It's okay, both of you. Calm down."

Daphne continues in a calm voice.

"You should go back to your residence with Snowlea." If it's not a safe and quiet place, Snowrea won't be able to rest. ”

"I'll follow you, too."

It was Grandma Syrahuki who said that. It is certainly more reassuring for me to have a grandmother.

And Mother muttered in awe as she gently pressed her stomach.

I think Milfilia and Waltrust are more anxious than I am.

Even if it is called labor pain, it seems that humans have much less pain than that, and the mother uses the movement technique herself without sitting down. Then my father and I, Sirauki's grandmother, got involved and turned into a blizzard.

Mill, if you need anything, you're coming to the fort.

Just before we disappeared, a knight with one eye called out to us.

And the spirits waved their hands at us, and Hiriris and Renabella said with a smile.

Good luck, Snowlea!

“I'm looking forward to the Spirit of Water.”

In an instant, when she returned to her residence, her mother walked herself and sat down on the bed. My father and I walked around the neighborhood, and Grandma Shirayuki changed from a big fox to a human figure. In the cave, it would be easier for you to move.

Wouldn't it be better to lie there?

No, it might be easier to remain sitting in this position.

"Well, then, Waltrust, give me your back."

……

Grandmother Shirayuki told me, and my dad, who was wandering around, stopped moving. And as she sits down deeply on the bed in a daze, she supports her mother's back from the side.

"What should I do, Grandma?!"

Asks Grandma Sirayuki as she stamps her feet in vain. Then the grandmother replied with a smile.

"Milfilia is in my arms."

Got it!

When I returned to the figure of the child Gitsu, I stuck in Grandma Sirayuki's arms and watched over my mother.

But this, me, is it any use to you? You're not standing, are you? But it's not in your mother's way, so is this okay?

I was convinced and decided to be quiet.

“It really seems like it's about time”

Mother is a little bit distressed, but she has plenty of energy to talk about. It seems that the time between the arrival of labor and childbirth is considerably shorter than the time of human birth, and it seems that it will be born already.

Sometimes it was the second time I had a child, and my mother was always calm.

The water's getting stronger.

Grandma Sirauki also says as she relaxes and strokes me. Indeed, the signs of water that I felt from my mother's stomach came here and became even stronger. I wonder if the baby is going out.

"My brother..."

Nervous but excited, my eyes shine and I stare at my mother.

Then the swollen stomach glowed lightly, and when I thought that the light had become dark, there was a little snake baby there the next moment.

"Huh? I didn't know this was going to happen..."

It seems that it was born too soon when I imagined human births. But this is the birth of an ordinary spirit.

The baby was supposed to look like a human in his stomach, but the moment he came out, he turned into a snake. It was a light blue snake close to white and its eyes were closed. I've heard that real snakes don't have eyelids, but spirits do. My father had it, too.

Mother, help me!

I rushed to my mother and jumped on the bed when Grandma Sirauki asked me to put it down on the ground.

"I'm not particularly tired."

Mother smiles and says. It's easy because the baby uses the movement technique to come out on his own. I had to raise a baby in my stomach, but it seemed harder when I was pregnant.

My mother's stomach, which was supposed to be swollen, is already refreshed. As a human, it seems that the uterus grows bigger, and it still hurts, but my mother seems to be fine. Maybe your stomach has already returned to its pre-pregnancy state. Everything is supernatural about the birth of a spirit.

Come on, I don't think she's gonna wake up yet.

Mother looks at the little snake on the palm of her hand and says: When I saw my first brother, it turned into a show, and I was nervous.

"That's cute, girl."

She is especially cute because she is my brother.

You're my heir.

Mother gives her father a newborn little snake. Father gently receives it with both hands, as if holding a delicate glasswork.

"... it's so small."

A father who gives his impressions as he sees them. But the eyes that gaze at my child are gentle.

I ask in a bounced voice.

"What are you going to do about it?" What should I call her? "

"I've already decided on my name..."... it's a souk. "

Sook! Well then, Sue!

As soon as I decided on my nickname, I licked Sue's head asleep on her father's palm.

Then Sue slowly opens her eyes and looks at me.

"Ah, ok! Sue!" It's oniichan! "

Reacting to my voice and lifting her face, Sue stares at her father, her mother, and Grandma Shirayuki in turn.

"Everyone is Sue's friend"

When I said that, Sue smiled a little happily. And I fell asleep again. You must be sleepy because you are a baby.

"Glad to hear that. There are more of them."

When I raised my face with a smile, my mother, my father, and my grandmother were all smiling.

Sue is still a baby, but I'm looking forward to the day when she can grow up and play with us.

The next night, by the end of the work of the knights of the fort, I had a party for Family Day.

On the wall of the cafeteria, I put on a large leaf that says "thank you always" in my poor but heartfelt writing, and I also decorated it with a colorful wreath. Furora laid the petals on the floor, and the atmospheric cafeteria suddenly brightened up.

On the table, a tablecloth with flowers embroidered with gold thread is laid on white ground borrowed from the king, and a vase with flowers is also decorated on it.

Honestly, the luxurious tablecloths and vases don't go well with the plain tables and chairs, so they're a bit out of place.

But this is good because it feels like it has been decorated with hard work, and the fact that it is not perfectly fashionable is not bad because it is like a party I host.

The old candlestick in the warehouse also came out and lit candles on each table. In addition, the food and fruits were arranged beautifully.

Ferrara decorated it and the head chef helped me prepare a meal, so I could throw a lavish party that I could not do alone.

Not only the knights of the northern fort, but also Mother, Father, and the other spirits came, and the cafeteria was bright and busy.

"Thank you for helping me and helping me all the time!" I'm so sorry about the party. "

I was not well behaved, but I sat on the table with my little fox figure and thanked everyone first.

And when it is over, I will first go to the spirits and introduce Sue who is on my head.

"Look! This is the souk!" My brother! "

It's Sue who's basically asleep, but now she's awake because her surroundings are busy, and she's slowly moving her head to observe how things are going around.

"Smaller than the new born Notte."

Saint Narcisse looks at the kitten's notte on his shoulder and says: Even though it was bigger than Sue, the notte, which was still small, and the pony Noche stared intriguedly at the little snake in front of them.

It's unlikely that there will ever be as many as five Spirit Children at the same time.

Grandma Heideling, who is outside, lets her face peek through the window of the dining room. Grandma Heideling was unable to get through the entrance to the cafeteria because she looked like a big bird. I wish I could be human, but apparently I prefer to be bird.

"Speaking of which, I'm surprised that so many spirits are gathered in one place. And no one fights for peace."

Woodbaum laughed and returned, saying that Fraula, in her human form, was unfamiliar with the situation.

"It would have been impossible without Milfilia." Everyone was connected via milfilia. "

Sure is!

Hilgue's dad also laughed out loud. I am satisfied to see this sight of the spirits laughing friendly.

There are many spirits that are originally friendly in character, but there were few spirits who wanted to be actively close to other spirits, so I would be happy if they were connected to me.

Leaving the circle of spirits, I now head for the knights of the fort. The spirits have barely eaten anything, but the knights eat mushroom pasta, fruit and cakes for dessert.

Kugalg and I will introduce Sue to the knights.

"I'm glad I was born safe. I'm glad Mill has a cute little brother, too."

The Knight of the Eyes was as pleased with Sue's birth as I was.

"It's really small and cute."

"You look like Waltrust after all." Sleepy-looking eyes. "

Looks like you're already nostalgic for Mill-sama.

Tina, Kicks, and Rekka peek into Sue's face.

Instead of speaking, Sue responded with a thin tongue.

Is it sticky?

Sure enough, Sue still had her tail wrapped around my ear and didn't leave it wrapped around her when my father tried to get it off my head. It might just be cozy over your head, but I'd be glad if you missed it.

Then Kicks sneaks up to the Branch Leader who came to see Sue.

Isn't the commander not only an animal, but also a snake?

Kicks has a naughty smile on his face. It looks like you're trying to make fun of the Branch Commander. Perhaps you're imagining a group leader who says, "That's right," while trying his best not to break his sober expression.

But today's support group leader is different than before.

After silently staring at Kicks' questions for a while, I looked forward with a face that seemed to be ready.

And I turned to the knights, including Kicks.

"Actually, I've been silent till now... but I like cute animals." You may have surprised me by saying this all of a sudden, but I like all the cute creatures, even the little snakes in the thighs and the thighs. ”

All the knights who heard the confession of the commander of the legion were dumbfounded for a moment.

I thought you were surprised by the more recent confession, but apparently you were surprised that the Branch Commander was willing to reveal his true feelings.

That's why everyone laughed with a bit of joy and said:

"Huh? That's right." I didn't notice. ”

The Branch Commander and Fuwa loved it, didn't they?

I'm surprised.

They're all a little bit sticky, but they pretend they didn't know about the Branch Commander. Because if you find out that you've been found out, you might feel embarrassed.

But now we all love the mills.

When Kicks says that, he hugs me and hands me over to the Branch Commander. Tina, who was nearby, also raised Kugalg and offered it to the Branch Commander.

Yeah, that's right.

While holding Kugalg and me in both hands with Sue on her head, the Branch Commander laughed and said with a glowing smile.
