It was a cold period at the end of the fall when winter began.
I've been inside for ten days since Elena was born.
I was encouraged by Wounded constantly, so I grew up fast.
When I was first born, I just cried, and my umbilical cord fell a week later.
On the tenth day, I actively moved my arms and legs, and sometimes smiled, and my expression varied.
“Banquet! Let's have the most epic banquet ever! ”
My father shouted, holding Elena in his arms that had fallen asleep. However, due to her resounding voice, she woke up crying.
“Ahhhh!”
“Ugh! Elena! I'm sorry, Grandpa! ”
“What are you doing, father?! I want Elena back now. ”
Arthur quickly snatched Elena from his father. But she didn't stop crying.
“Pussy!”
“Elena, it's me, Dad. So stop crying. ”
“Cuckoo!”
“Elena, please.... ”
“Phew, really. Give it to me."
“Hehe. Here you are. ”
Arthur wept and gave Elena to Leyra. Leyra grunts, holding Elena in her arms.
“You guys are so mean. It took me a long time to stop him from crying. We're good, aren't we? Tsk.”
“Heaven!”
Leyra tries to calm Elena down.
Her father, who was the one who rang Elena, became discouraged for the first time in his life. I never thought I'd see my father like that in my entire life.
While I was watching because it was fun, I suddenly told Leyra.
“I'll give it a shot. ”
“Young master?”
“Yes.”
“Got it.”
I took Elena from Leyra. It seemed like I had come back to my former life as Leyra's husband for a moment.
Soon.
Knuckles!
An amazing thing happened. Elena stopped crying as soon as I put her in my arms!
“Oh, my God! ”
“Why?! ”
“Oh, my God. ”
The three of them couldn't help but be astonished.
Elena stops crying and stares at me. I looked straight at her, too. Look at each other.
Strange silence.
I made a fucking smile.
Elena laughed. Cute! As cute as our spirits!
But I suddenly felt a strange feeling.
Strangely, I felt a familiarity with this little niece in my arms.
Is this what it's like to be flesh and blood?
No, it's not.
I know what it's like to be flesh and blood. In my past life, my son was like, "Why is my father like this? ’Because I loved my son until I grumbled openly.
But this is a little different from being towards the flesh.
What the hell is this?
This familiarity, compassion....
What kind of feeling is this? This is so frustrating!
I looked at Elena with complex emotions.
Oh, I don't know. I decided to put my emotions aside and raise my father and Arthur by having fun with Elena.
“Wounded.”
-Yeah.
A drop of water gathers in the air and the undead are summoned. Elene smiles brightly as soon as Wounded appears. And there was a woman who wept over him.
“Woo. Elena.... Why do you like Master Caroc more than your mother? ”
“Honey, don't cry. I want to cry. ”
The couple stares at me with a look of compassion and resentment. Why are you looking at me like that? What am I supposed to do with Elena liking me?
I asked Woundee.
“Do you want to hold the baby? ”
-Yeah.
Woundee glances at Elena with her glittering eyes. I gave Elena to Woundee. Wounded carefully hugs Elena with five water hands.
The hugger hugs Woundee, and she doesn't leave her mouth smiling because she feels so good. Elene seems to feel a connection to Wounded.
Mmm.
I vaguely speculate that spirits like Woundee are friendly to newborns because they are fragments of Mother Nature's will.
Or perhaps he instinctively felt familiar because he was born with the power of recovery.
Anyway, Elena and Woundee were too close.
Oh, my God! They're both so cute. I feel dizzy.
“I regret that I should have learned spirituality for the first time since I was born. ”
My father mutters jealously.
I shrugged.
“Is this the kind of superiority that knights can't keep up with? Hehe.”
“Ugh! I can't deny it! ”
He was a very angry father. Mwahaha.
Okay, you want to play with Elena for real with the animosity?
“Noum, salamander. ”
- Yeah!
- Hehe!
The gnomes and salamanders were also summoned.
However, as soon as the two spirits were summoned, they immediately showed interest in Elene who was holding Wounded.
Norm told me with a big look.
- Dad, I want to hold the baby! Yeah? Yeah.
Oh, yeah?
Even salamanders who are so grumpy that they're bad for their baby's personality education.
- The baby's freezing!
It warms Elena's surroundings by throwing fire blazes all around her. If it were normal, I'd say, "Hehehe! What the hell is a ghost doing here?
Are spirits supposed to be close to babies? Is it because the baby is still pure?
Undyne gives Eleanor to Noum in a desperate fashion.
Norm stares at Elena with a single expression.
- My turn next! My turn!
While the salamanders were impassioned, it was impossible for a salamander made of fire to exert any physical influence but to regulate the temperature.
In the end, the salamander had to be satisfied with just stroking Elena with a hand controlled by warm temperatures.
“Spirits love our elene. ”
Leyra talks to me in a strange way. I nodded.
“I know. I've never done this before. I've seen a lot of babies, but they've never liked it that much. Maybe it's because she's my niece. ”
“Is that so? If I could summon a spirit, I could make Elena so happy. Master Caroc, do you think I can learn spirituality? ”
“Ah-ha-ha, I'm sorry. Impossible unless you are a person of spiritual affinity. ”
“Is there no such thing as spiritual affinity for me? ”
“Yes, I can recognize people with spiritual affinity. I haven't experienced it yet, but the book says that if a Spirit meets someone with Spirit Affinity, it can be felt... ”
Speaking of that, I blurred my end.
He looks at Elena, struck by a hammer.
Really? Really?!
I felt my heart pounding.
I quickly approached Elena holding Norm in my arms.
“Noum, can I have that? ”
-Yeah.
Norm handed over Elena.
Elena was happy to see me.
I felt a compassion and familiarity with this little niece.
“Hahaha!”
I just had to laugh.
This was it. This is the strange feeling I felt when I looked at Elena!
“Hello, Elena. You're just like your uncle. ”
Father and Brother Arthur looked at us curiously, not knowing the English language of Leyra.
“You have the gift of a spirit. Right?"
Everyone was appalled by what I said.
“My granddaughter has the qualities of a spirit? ”
“Like you, Caroc? ”
“Oh my God, oh my God. Can our daughter be a spirit? Is that true?"
I nodded.
“I keep getting these strange, sympathetic feelings for Elena, and now I think it's because she was spiritually friendly, just like me. It's the same context that my spirits used to love Elena. ”
Arthur said that he had just found out about English.
“So that's why Elena stopped crying as soon as she hugged you. ”
“Yes, sir. Elena felt the same way about me. Isn't that right, Elena? ”
Elena just smiled at my question.
He clenched his fist.
“As expected, spirituality was better than sword! I dreamt I'd spend time teaching my granddaughter how to use a sword and be impure! ”
“Father, if you teach your daughter how to use a sword, you can't marry a woman without dignity. ”
Brother Arthur rebuked my father.
Leyra looked at me with a very excited face.
“So, does our Elena become like Master Caroc? Master Caroc showed off his extraordinary ability to grow into a superior spirit in four years. ”
“Haha, I don't know. Everyone has an animistic type, and everyone has an animistic type. The gift of aesthetics is not related to blood. ”
In fact, I have had many life experiences in my past life, and I have been freed from human desires with many realizations.
I think I grew up fast as a Spirit because I had other secrets besides loving them horribly.
So I thought it was too much to expect Elena to be like me.
Of course, there are certain types of people who are naturally compatible with spirituality, so maybe they can become senior spirits in an instant.
And in fact, the spirit is close to zero sociality. There are very few perfect animists like me who thrive on social activities and are even advanced animists.
“Anyway, there's only one thing that matters. ”
I laughed and said.
“The fact that Elena would like this uncle the most. Isn't that right, Elena? Uh-huh-huh-huh.”
Father and Brother Arthur stared at me as if they were genuinely angry. I'm the winner of the Elene Capture. Mwahaha.
