Seiun wo Kakeru

After the harvest festival, there was an authentic winter season.

Outside the door, thin slices of snow fall, and cold air pushes over the wall.

The dispensary brings together pregnant and pregnant women with reduced immunity.

Firewood was burned one after the other to keep it appropriately warm.

The look on Tania's face, which always kept her bright smile on that day, was unusual and depressing.

Agie tilted her neck as she listened to Tania.

Because I wasn't sure what I was talking about.

"I don't get milk, do you?

"Yes...... I got a lot out at first, but in the last few days, it's been gone."

"Oh my goodness..."

Agie saw Tania. I'm holding a Guru Libert.

It was still a luxurious skeleton.

However, where flesh is needed for women such as breasts and buttocks compared to physique, it is well attached.

The two bulky swells seemed even bigger than before pregnancy.

Agee wondered what the hell it meant not to have breast milk while holding this size.

However, it is the amount of fat that originally depends on the size of the chest, while the amount of breast milk depends on the degree of breast development.

So there's no correlation between breast size and breast milk volume.

Age, who has no such knowledge, bumped his gaze as the emotion of doubt stood.

Tania wandered and tried to hide her breasts with her arms, but her thin arms were not hidden.

Tania's eyes were blaming Agie.

"Ugh, I've seen too much Giro!

"No, I'm sorry. But I just thought... Wouldn't it heal if I rubbed it?

"It's not a cow, so it's not that easy to get out!

"Um, well. I wonder..."

"Don't you think Age just wants to touch it?

"Oh, no, you're not. I'm really worried about Tania."

I also said Agee with a serious look, but Tania doesn't have any dust on how she trusted me.

Looks like my usual skinship was a little too drastic.

Even though it seems to work, Age changes the subject.

"What does the pharmacist say?

"For now, I was told to roast wheat and make it into tea and drink it. And then I told her I'd tell her when Age arrived. But because Libert is hungry, he asked someone else to share his milk..."

Tania's brow drops.

Indeed, from Tania, it would be a shame not to be fed her own breast milk.

Nor is it always always always possible for someone to help right away.

Immediately after childbirth, the interval between breastfeeding is short and characterized by a high number of times.

Because breast milk needs to be given once every hour to two hours, the mother has no gap between body and mind to rest.

Tania is a milky white liquid stored in a plate - when she dips goat's milk in the cloth, she does it to the mouth of the Libert.

Libert sucked when he put the cloth in his mouth.

When you make sure the moisture is gone, soak the cloth again and let it go back and forth to your mouth.

Goat's milk has long been commonly used as a substitute for breast milk.

Its nutritional value is as high as milk.

"The pharmacist also taught me this..."

"So, what about that pharmacist?

"Looks like someone's out of shape in the village a little bit, and I'm going to see what that person's got."

"Really... do you know the house?

"Yeah, I hear it's Mr. Close's house"

Age thought of a map on her head.

It's further south from Age and Tania's house.

Because villages cross fields, it is normal for houses to be far apart from each other.

It's not a place you can walk right to, but there's nothing wrong with it.

"If you have measures, I'd like to hear them as soon as possible. I'll see you for a minute."

"Um... sorry"

"No, it won't be Mr. Tania's fault. No one gets sick if their body moves according to their emotions. I know exactly what Tania wants to do as a mother."

Agee left the house, encouraging Tania to drop her shoulders.

Winter in the village of Siena is a battle against snow.

On sunny days, the weather is easy to navigate to and from, but also on the island due to its location at heights.

When I suddenly wondered if the sky had started to cloud, there was still a lot of snow coming.

Age walks down a snowy path.

The snow, which had fallen in large quantities, would have been soft and would have sinked deeply into each step originally.

The fur was affixed to the back of the shoe, and he was wearing a ”kanjiki” that was machined so that he could steam and bend the young branches, so he could step firmly on the ground.

The types of fur used vary from fox, fox, wolf, and deer.

Everything is the fur the Mikes hunters have hunted, self-sufficient in the village.

Age struggled and moved to the front of her own house.

Now hiding in the snow, if you turn left at this junction, you go to the blacksmith, straight on to the house of Close or to the village of Tal.

Close's house can be found anywhere in the village of Siena.

For this reason, when arranged for example for a photograph, it is difficult inside to determine whose house it is based solely on its appearance.

However, it would be possible to discern by aging due to years of construction, the type of fruit trees planted in the field, and the degree of organisation due to the character of the inhabitants.

"Age, where are you going in all this snow?

"Mr. Jane... I need to speak to the pharmacist for a moment"

"Don't wait till the snow subsides for a second. I'll get you some warm water."

Jane's words were fascinating.

Keep walking in the cold and your whole body is cold.

Age was now forced to live alone because Tania was in the dispensary.

The severity of self-reliance in this village has no comparable specifications to modern Japan.

When I drank warm water, my whole body shook, not to mention.

My whole body feels loose, which was hardened by the cold.

"Well, Tania's not here. I thought that girl was all right, but I don't know."

"Really surprised me, too."

"So how's Tania doing?

"Yeah, no, that's why I don't get boobs -"

"I'm not, I'm asking you if you have a fever."

Age tilts her neck to the question she has been layering so that she can cover it.

But when I saw Jane's expression get extra serious, I realized that Age might have made some mistakes about herself, too.

Maybe things are tougher than I think.

"Sometimes when your milk doesn't come out, your fever can go up."

"Is that happening..."

"I don't know what caused it."

"This is tough...... I knew I had to go see the pharmacist"

"Oh, already, leave suddenly......!

Age could not stay or stand, and, to thank her, she left Jane's house.

The wind is coming out, but the snow is stopping.

I have to hurry up and see the pharmacist.

Age hurried down the road.

Fortunately, I was never different from the pharmacist and I was able to meet him on the way.

The pharmacist is an energetic aunt.

He looked like a local and wore something like a ski board.

Travel at much faster speeds than a walking age.

If you want to get used to living this winter in the future, you might want to practice yourself.

"That, you're Tania's"

"Yes. Thank you. My wife is taking care of me. I heard there was a good way."

"Yeah, so you came all the way here to see me? Damn, wait. You went to see him from me."

I couldn't wait.

"Right. Good daughter-in-law. All right, all right, I'll show you how to do it."

Then, the pharmacist class began.

Originally, each pharmacist would administer those treatments, but this year there were more pregnant women at once, and on top of that, it was winter and the sick came out, so they couldn't get around.

The primary cause of this would have taken the form of hospitalization, unlike the previous work system, where pregnant women were in their respective homes and were only suitable at birth.

"So, I've got a little problem, will you listen to me?

"Is that a problem?

"Yeah. When I go straight to the pharmacy, I want you out of the hospital."

"Hey, why not!?

"Since then, two more pregnancies have been discovered. Even if you're just splitting the booth, there will be a limit to the people you ask to come in. So, if it doesn't seem like a problem, I want you to come out."

"Ma, I haven't finished cleaning and renovating my home yet! Shh, can't you just wait a minute?

"How long is it going to take? If I can wait, I want to wait for you."

"Now if I had less work...... a week. At least wait about that."

"Okay... I'm sorry I couldn't."

The pharmacist's aunt usually looks dignified, but in fact it's just cluttered.

Its heart is gentle and warm.

Otherwise, you won't be able to nurse sick people or prescribe drugs.

Unlike healthy conditions, getting sick is a lot of danger, because it's dirty.

Separated from the pharmacist that he still had work to do, Agee was back in the dispensary alone.

It hurts like my face tingles in the cold.

But my beloved wife would only welcome me, my body anyway, and my heart was filled warmly.

"I'm home."

"Welcome back. It would have been cold...... have I been able to see you?

"Yeah. I could hear a lot of valuable stories."

"Really? Then it was worth it to go out in the cold, wasn't it? Good."

Remove the fur coat, remove the gloves and hit the fireplace fire.

After a while my whole body warmed up quite a bit.

Agie put her hand on Tania's forehead.

The hands wrapped in gloves were still cold because they were on the table.

"So, Mr. Tania, how are you feeling?

"It's cold, Mr. Age"

"Yeah, looks like you don't have a fever"

"Yeah. Are you okay?

"This is the first time Jane has told me that if I don't have milk, I sometimes get high fever."

To Age's words, Tania was surprised and lost her complexion.

The only thing that caused the fever was the sometimes life-and-death issues, which seemed shocking.

"Oh, really?

"But it's okay. The pharmacist just taught me so many different ways."

"What are you going to do?

Agie approached Tania and told her how to do it in her ear.

to some moderate things had returned humphung and gavel, but eventually his face turned red,

"What, do you really do that, too?

And it's the end of showing up to a reaction that makes you raise your voice.

Agie nodded with no choice.

"I also know how Tania feels, so let's start with something that doesn't seem like a problem. If that doesn't work..."

"So, what if you can't?

"Until you try it."

Tania seems frightened at Age's answer.

I lowered my shoulders disappointingly and leaned down.

"Please resolve this sooner…"

Age looked for what she was looking for from the various medicines that were placed in the dispensary.

Take one tree lid at a time and make sure the contents are checked and the plug is tight.

Most of these medicines are well managed and kept dry.

Care was taken to manage it because of the need to use it not only during the harvest season, but also at other times.

Age found what she was after when she peered at the twelfth.

Dry and shriveled, but yellow and thin, countless petals are common in spring.

His name is Western Tampo.

There were unique species in Japan, but now western tampons of exotic species are also commonly seen.

It was fortunate that the flower of purpose was also a common flower in Age's memory.

"Shall we start with tampon tea?"

"Oh, I see."

Tampo tea has the effect of encouraging breast milk.

Even in modern times tampon tea is often consumed in houses with little breast milk.

Speaking of how the hell did you find out about the effect, the pharmacist flatly replied that his old ancestors spoke in various situations and communicated the effect as an oral biography.

Indeed, in this era, it would not be possible to administer it to mice, so we would actually have to try it on ourselves and patients, but it would still be difficult to fully trust healthcare in this era, Agee thought.

Tania includes tampon tea in her mouth.

I had prepared dried grapes to rest my mouth, which would be difficult to drink if I stayed put.

"What do you think"

"... do you drink it and it works that quickly?

"Come on...... Well, what are you waiting for, and shall we go next?"

"Okay."

Tania, who knew what the next stage was, nodded honestly without disagreeing.

And Tania leans down in bed.

Hands over his head, his face turned right and his eyes closed with a restful face.

And when Agie stood beside him, she picked Tania's shoulder.

"Mm-hmm..."

"Wow, it's so elaborate that even when you're asleep, you can tell."

"I'm sorry I kept quiet. My shoulders have been so heavy lately."

"... why didn't you tell me already"

They used to massage each other like every day.

After I found out I was pregnant, I had stopped in case I should not cause an abortion or something, but that should also be fine after the birth.

I wanted you to rely on a word if this was the case.

"'Cause, Age, I'm living alone right now, and I thought it would be hard..."

"It's..."

It is not much of a struggle to stay out of your own life while doing your job as a blacksmith or holding meetings on the development of your village.

Tania said she had lived alone for many years, so she would know the hardship.

If they say so, you can't blame them any more.

When Agie sighed, she gave up any further pursuit.

"Do you mind if I ask the disciples for chores around me? If anything happens to Tania, it's the saddest thing, and more importantly, Liberto is saddened."

"... Yes"

When I heard a faint reply and Age was suspicious, Tania's eyes were melting thick.

My body relaxed and I guess the fatigue I was hiding came out on the surface.

If you're dealing with a baby that hasn't been around for a while, it's hard to get a cohesive sleep.

Age slowly continues her massage before Tania, who began to get upset.

They all had stiff lumps between their necks, shoulders and shoulder blades.

Rubbing slowly loose, he descends to his hips.

"... good night"

Speaking to Tania, who began to take a quiet sleep, Agee continued to move her hands silently.

It was going to be after tomorrow to see if I could breastfeed.

The next day, when I went to the dispensary, Tania would pick me up.

But when I saw the look on his face, I found that it apparently didn't work out yet.

Well, I have no choice.

Not everything works out from the start.

You just have to keep trying and making mistakes until you can.

Originally it was out right, so I'll be able to milk it again.

"Well, shall we try the following?"

"What was next..."

"Yeah, it's a way to rub your chest directly and make it easier to get out"

"... Age just wants to rub it. Then?

"No! The pharmacist said it! He said warming your milk and rubbing it for you would make it easier to get out!

Damn, I can't believe you just said that.

It's important that you do it everyday.

I knew I was going to do it, so dip the cloth in the hot water that was boiling to prevent the room from drying and squeeze gently.

I put that on Tania's chest.

"Mmm..."

"Oh, was it hot?

"No, it's fine. It's warm and pleasant..."

Eventually, remove the cloth that is losing heat.

When I got up to bed, I sat behind Tania and started rubbing my tits from the top of my clothes.

Hi. Are you on the verge of mastitis or where did your usual softness go?

Even over the cloth is stuck tight enough to tell.

Bend your finger from your pinky finger to your index finger and rub it in so that it squeezes from the ground up.

Repeat, Tania couldn't help but raise her voice.

"E, Age, the hand... I must be too used to it!?

"What are you talking about? How much do you think I did to help milk cows? And the guidelines are with you."

"Well, that's why... eh"

"How about more than that, do you feel like you're about to come out?

"Ha... yes..."

With a trembling whisper, Tania is ashamed.

He lay on his face, but his ears were bright red from his neck.

Cute.

Nevertheless, if this doesn't work, the way the pharmacist taught me will be even more radical.

The last resort is to get Libert to suck hard, but if he still can't, Age will have to suck.

Age was serious, too.

Tania leaked her voice as she continued to rub her chest for a while.

"Ah..."

"Whoa, what do you say?

"So, I'm out......!

"Hmm... good..."

"Thanks to Age."

"No, it all just worked as instructed by the pharmacist."

"I'll give Riverto a drink soon"

When Tania gets up and holds the Libert, she sucks on her nipples with all her clothes.

Riverto sucked well, but soon he let go of his mouth.

"That... you're not hungry?

"No, maybe not..."

"What is it?

"I don't know about this expression, but I think the freshness of the boobs I've been accumulating for a long time is worse and they don't taste good."

"Oh, no..."

Forgive Tania for the pitiful look on her face.

When I finally thought I could breastfeed my child, they turned to me.

The heartache is excessive.

So Age said gently.

"Squeeze it all the way down and give it to him from the way down. I'll help you, too."

"Isn't that what Age wants to touch?

I'm not worried about Age until now, either, than the problem in front of me has resolved.

As the accumulated breast milk began to appear, the chest became softer and softer than the water balloon.

Like squeezing bread, but much more flexible than that, or perhaps freshly rice cake.

Agie rubbed it carefully.

I didn't have half the breastfeeding thing on my mind anymore.

Because breast milk might overflow, clothes were collected and milk squeezed into vessels.

Tania was right.

But just for a second, I thought it was unreasonable.

After that, Tania became attentive to her physical condition, getting massages and taking care of her diet, so the same problems stopped happening.

This was a valuable experience, Agee thought.
