Isekai Taneuma

After midday today, I noticed a lot of shade.Looking up from the window attached to the lighting, the sky was always cloudier and it was about to rain.No, even indoors in this white-breasted temperature, it may snow.If only she had given birth sooner... Alice was running down the hallway holding Jacquard with hot water in her hands.

Immediately beside Sir Hermes' makeshift government building, this was also a makeshift staff quarters.As a temporary measure, the former castle of Sir Hermes was destroyed, but in the deepest room of the dormitory, a groan of a woman moaning painfully began this morning, echoing in the hallway.

Last night, Luna's child, whose labor pain had begun, was about to be born.Alice has been busy with her child for years... but before her husband gave birth, which she has served for many years, she has been very busy since the morning.After all, except for the midwife, she was the only one who saw Luna giving birth.

There is no need to say again about the situation between Luna Dewey and her servant Alice.In short, Luna was filled for the brave when Feng and the others were summoned to this world.

She swallowed Isaac's words that if she had a brave man and a child, she would surely be able to give birth to a god, and she became pregnant, but then the situation changed and she was in a position to be chased.Eventually betrayed by her family, she lost her destination and was finally captured by the Empire... but there was a history of revenge on Isaac and protection by Feng in the empire capital where she was captured.

Although the deceitful Isaac was to blame, it put Hermes in a very delicate position.Therefore, her birth, which was originally a priest and aristocrat, was supposed to be blessed by a large number of people, but only one servant in such a place was challenging the birth.

"Alice... Alice, you're not here!

"Yes, miss! Over here!

When Alice came back for the hot water that her midwife had asked her to take, she heard Luna cry out on the bed to endure the pain.She was screaming desperately just now, searching for the only family she had ever lost.

Leaving Yakan in a hurry, my husband squeezed the cold hand of the servant who had just returned.Your hands tremble not only because you're putting too much effort into it, but also because you're probably worried.

The gripped hand was honestly painful, but Alice gently grabbed back her husband's hand.Luna grabbed it with both hands as if she were leaning on a straw and held her hand desperately as she breathed abdominally as her midwife told her to.A priest, she was much older than Alice, but she looked like a baby abandoned by her mother.

If it were true, she deserved more... her birth as a saint was a very rare celebration.At least I had never heard of a priest giving birth to a child since Alice was born, and even a great aristocrat from afar, if true, would have rushed in.

I wonder what Luna did when she was abandoned by her family and gave birth to a child in secret, without anyone blessing her in such a cold, blowing government dormitory.Alice didn't regret it.

But I can't show such a dissatisfied face to my husband.I'm more worried than anyone right now because it's definitely her.Alice continued to cheer on her efforts to regain consciousness and reach out to her desperately gripping husband.

Eventually, how much time had passed... when I realized that Alice, who was with her husband and continued to breathe in her belly, was losing her head like acid.The presence at the birth may have made me nervous as well as I thought.Maybe it's because I forgot to eat and kept encouraging.

Anyway, she suddenly heard the baby crying loudly in her blurry ears.The midwife was delighted to hold the baby in her eyes and wondered when she had taken it up.As if the time had stopped, Alice had hardened.

He's a healthy boy.

Maybe the midwife wants her to hold the baby?Looking at Luna, who was running on the bed, she was tight and wasn't in a very good condition to receive the baby.That said, you can't keep your baby with your midwife forever.

As Alice swallowed Gokuri and Tsuba, she slipped out her hand.The midwife gave Pat and her the baby in a familiar way and began to clean up with a smile.The baby she hugged was surprisingly hot and raised her voice like a cat.

Then the time passed again.

Luna, who was tired of giving birth, finally regained her calm and the midwife left after cleaning up.The next few days would be tough, but she left without a doubt because it was too painful to die.

Feng found me a job for giving birth, but she was a benefactor who bought me a job that no one wanted to do just because of the circumstances, without showing a bad face.They said they had to thank her one day, but now they peeked into the face of the baby sleeping softly.

The baby was sleeping in a woven basket wrapped around a sheet.Luna had been holding her mother's girlfriend ever since she woke up, but she was starting to look a little tired because of the tension she had always had with the baby who was not sitting on her neck, so she watched the baby fall asleep and moved to bed.

She spared no effort to let go, but if she had settled in the cradle, it would have been cute, staring at the baby's face from above.In that smiling appearance, Alice felt that all the hardships she had been through had been blown away and somehow saved.

This may be the first time her husband has shown such a soft expression since he jumped out of the house in search of life.It was also thanks to Lord Hermes, who helped his master, who had no choice but to be killed.Alice murmured her thanks in her chest.

And at that time.

Concentrate... the sound of knocking on the door came, and the phoenix came into the room.

"Well, Ser Hermes!

When Feng, the tentative Ser Hermes, brought the two priests with him into the room, Luna's face, which had been staring at her baby just now, glowed.

"I'm sorry to push you so hard when you're tired.Earlier, I got a report from my midwife and came to see how things were because I was concerned.Anyway, congratulations.It was a big job, but you did your best. "

"Well, what a pleasure.Thank you very much. I've always looked after you, and I can't do anything for you, but I'm more than happy to have you say such a happy thing. "

"No, even if you're scared like that, you're in trouble." "Congratulations." "Congratulations."

Behind Feng, who was pulling the edge of his mouth with a bitter smile, the priests who came with him also congratulated him.Luna thanked her old friends, but her gaze was always nailed to Feng.At that time, she realized that she was a slightly sweaty sleepwear and pulled up the blanket in a shy manner, blushing her face like a girl.Alice rushed out the cardigan for such a master, but a playful mind burst out.

Do you think Luna likes Feng?

Well, it's not impossible to fall in love with her given the history.Instead of saving ourselves if we succeed in executing ourselves, Ser Hermes offered us a place to live and support Luna in her weight.What do you want more?

Alice thought it would be nice if Sir Hermes became the stepfather of the baby... and Luna's husband, although the baby's parents were different.

"Yes! Master Brave?If you like, why don't you hold the baby?I'm sure the baby will be delighted if you take such good care of him.Hey, lady?

"Hmm? But please don't bother me...."

"What? Are you sure?

Alice suddenly suggested that, Luna looked surprised, but Feng seemed more comfortable without thinking.Normally, men don't like having babies, but he doesn't seem to care much about that.

Fortunately, Alice suggested this to her husband a little forcefully, and Luna, who was confused, also noticed that Feng's reaction was favorable, and quickly broke her face without saying that she wished and fulfilled it.

"Yeah, yeah, if you like.I'm sure she'll be delighted. "

Well, then, I'd love to.

Feng replied, and Luna reached out to the rocking cage that was just beside the bed with joy.Alice helps her husband in a hurry, saying that it will be difficult if the balance breaks down.As they did so, they carefully lifted the basket so as not to wake the baby sleeping in the basket, and gently tilted the basket so that their face could also be seen in the fluttering phoenix.

And then.....

From above her mother, Luna, staring at her son, Feng's face, peeking into the cage, seemed to be distorted by a strange feeling for a moment.

Alice said to the expression he showed for a moment, "Is that it?"I felt a strange feeling... the moment I thought about it, Feng's expression was back to normal, and I wondered if it was her fault.However,

Come on, Ser Hermes.

Luna pointed into the cradle and smiled at Feng to hold the baby, but suddenly he suddenly walked away from it.

"Ah... I'll give you another chance."

"Eh!? But... that's why you came."

"No, I slept well, and it's pathetic to wake you up."

"Hah...."

"I'm sorry, how generous of you... ah... oh, yeah, that's right, it was rude of a lot of men to push you into a woman's room.Permel, Diogenes, it's time we had some time. "

Feng suddenly said so early, and turned back his feet and his feet felt uncomfortable.The change was so deliberate that the priest with him was also wondering,

"... are you sure?Lord Hermes. "

"No, that's why I'm not Lord Hermes.I'm sure Luna will be tired today, because there's always a chance. "

He said so without looking back, leaving the mysterious priests out of the room.After a brief silence,

"... then let's go home too.Luna, first of all, make sure you're well fed. "

"We're right there in the government building.Let me know if you need anything. "

When they said so, they left the room a little early to catch up with Feng who had left first.

Butterfly and the door closed and silence came to the room.Before they came, I felt like neither of them wanted to open their mouths, even though there was such a conversation.The baby is fast asleep in the cage.

Luna gently lifted her son from the cage.Since I haven't sat on my neck yet, I carefully hugged my chest with my arms wrapped slowly, and I gently put my finger on that snug forehead as I slept.The baby is sleeping with a calm expression like an angel.Feng said that it was pathetic to wake her up, but that must have been a worrying thing.

"... I wonder if Lord Hermes hated babies."

The sighing voice of such a master made Alice feel unbearable.I'm sure she wouldn't have felt this way if she hadn't tried to hold the baby with him.Alice kept staring at her as if she could somehow cheer her up... and then suddenly she felt uneasy about seeing her husband holding the baby and feeling lonely.

Luna and I both finished our work and just forgot how to live with our children from now on.

There is no home to go home to Luna, who jumped out of the house.In the first place, you don't want to go back to the people who tried to kill your baby.That said, the world is neither sweet nor gentle enough for your daughter Luna to live happily while raising her children.

Perhaps Feng will do us a favor without saying anything.But is that why you should be so generous?

"Yes! Miss.It happened so suddenly, but I haven't thanked the brave yet.It looks like we can still catch up, so could you wait a moment?

Alice jumped out of the room without waiting for her husband's reply.Luna's voice of restraint was heard from behind, but she consciously ignored it and ran out of the hallway.

Either way, it was true that I wanted to thank you.She caught sight of Feng and the others heading to the front door to return to the adjacent government building, and went straight to you.

Her predictions were correct.Soon, I found three men walking slowly in the corner of the hallway that hung in the hall in front of the front door.She shouted, "Please wait," and rushed to Feng, who looked back with a nice expression.

"I'm sorry to interrupt.When I was busy, I didn't even serve tea, but instead I realized that I forgot to even thank you, and I rushed after you. "

You don't have to worry about that.

"That's not how it works."

Alice shook her head sharply and denied, pinching the hem of the dressing skirt and bowing respectfully towards the phoenix.

"Thank you very much for everything you've done for your daughter.Had it not been for your mercy, we would both have been dead by now.It was all thanks to you that the baby was born safely.On behalf of your daughter, thank you.Thank you very much. My shoulders are down, too. "

Yes, I'm glad.

"Yes, so... brave man"

Alice went on to pay her respects.

"In that case, I would like to return this favor as soon as possible.But neither I nor my daughter have any property.So, from now on, why don't you use me as your limb?

"Huh!? That's an exaggeration."

As Feng looked at her, Permel, who was listening beside her, took a step forward.

"Stay back, human. I know you want to get close to Lord Hermes, but you're planning too much."

But Alice looked forward without cowardice.

"I have no intention, I have nothing but to offer myself this way.Since I was born, I have been raised as much as possible as a Dewey servant and I have never done any work other than taking care of my daughter.What I can do with confidence is something like cooking and washing housework.Of course, I wouldn't hesitate to do any kind of work if you were brave, but would you please give me a chance to think it's pathetic?I'm sure you'll find it useful. "

Feng was distracted by Alice's challenging eyes.She looked at the trick and tried to give up, but when Feng turned away from her, she tended to look a little subtle.

"If I didn't do that, I wouldn't have thrown you out of nowhere."

Alice shook her head.

"It's so much easier for you to do that.It is painful for me to be unable to repay you one thing. "

Feng sighed at the words.

"... I see.Well, maybe so.Then do it. "

"Are you sure?Lord Hermes. "

When Feng accepted her proposal, the two priests who had listened to it on the side checked bewildered.He nodded in trouble for both of them.

"If I were in her position, I wouldn't be able to help but feel disgusted by the kindness given unilaterally.I'm not feeling well just because I keep giving it from above.I want to reject this relationship somewhere.So this is like a give-and-take. "

"Hah... is that what you're saying?"

Feng turned a little back to keep an eye on the girl.

"Alice, did you say that?

Yes!

"Well, I'll have you do some chores in my office from tomorrow.In the morning, go to the next government building.Try to go home to your daughter in the evening when you are on time.Is that all right?

"Ah, thank you... thank you!

When Feng received such an energetic reply, she showed a slightly more complicated expression and then turned her heel back and left.Two priests followed.Alice kept an eye on her until she could no longer see her back.

After all, Feng was a kind man.Convinced of that, Alice flashed her chest.Otherwise, no matter what the circumstances, there's no way you can help Luna, who killed Isaac.He helped a woman of no connection, no help, no weight, just with her moral spirit.She thanked God that there were really wonderful people.

Still... what was that look on Feng's face when he saw Luna's baby?It was, to say the least, a very thorny face, as if it were an enemy of indestructible heaven or a filth.Maybe you didn't really like kids?In that case, I was happy at first.....

Alice was a little worried, but soon she shook her head and decided not to think any further.He's the one who does everything for us.If you hated children, you wouldn't have helped me in the first place.So I guess that was Alice's mistake.

Regardless, I was worried about how to live from now on, but I was able to get a job.This will be safe for a while.I'm sure Luna will be happy.She went back to the room where she jumped out to convey it.As expected, Luna was pleased to hear Alice's report.Ning Ro, her face was like a maiden in love, even though she wanted to be of service to Sir Hermes.
