Maria’s delivery must have been relatively easier. Freesia-san said that Sophia also had it on the easier side for her first delivery.
And what was most surprising was my Rabbitkin wife, Marnie. A characteristic of Beastkin was an easy childbirth, and as a result, when she felt the contractions, she gave birth soon after.
Yes, instead of deciding a na for the child Sophia gave birth to, we now have to co up with nas for three.
The baby Maria had given birth to is an adorable girl with cherry blossom pink hair, maybe because of Maria’s red hair and my silver hair.
The baby Marnie gave birth to has nearly white silver hair and rabbit ears, and it was also a girl.
Yes, all three babies were girls.
I thought it was okay because I was just glad that all three were born safe and sound, but Sophia and the others thought that the next boy should inherit the Iruma na.
But three girls, huh……
I don’t want them to marry.
Is it crazy of to already be having these thoughts when they’ve only just been born. No, I think this is normal.
And the naming issue was reignited.
「The three are now born, so let’s consider it once more.」
「Indeed. Be it Human or Rabbitkin, they will be blessed equaly. It is no problem for us to na them either.」
「Fufu, Takumi-chan, leave it to these Oneechans.」
Once again, Sylph, Undine, and Dryas were excited.
「I have a chance too.」
「Madam Lumia, I believe I, the grandmother, take precedence though.」
Freesia-san chided Madam Lumia who has yet to give up on becoming a godmother.
「Now, now, the opinion of the mothers are important too, so how about we discuss this with everyone?」
「Agreed.」
「……yes, the mother’s opinion is important.」
「Then we’ll discuss this with the mothers.」
When Akane said that this should be discussed with Sophia, Maria, and Marnie, both Laeva and Nyx agreed with her. Selene spoke then left to call the mothers.
Actually, the room allocations were troubling .
Sophia, Maria, and Marnie each have their respective rooms. Currently, I have baby cots set up in each of those rooms, but I think it’s better to have them all in one room.
The reason being that I am also a new dad, and I’ve heard that, while they have individual differences, newborn babies need to be breastfed every few hours.
In which case, a heavy burden is placed on one mother. All mothers must have gone through this, but I want to do sothing about that.
Wet nurses exist for that reason, but in our case, they won’t give milk, but rather help with duties apart from the feedings as well as help raise them.
「Should we relocate the mothers and babies into the sa room?」
However, in doing that, if one were to cry, all of them would.
「Ah! I didn’t make baby bottles!」
It was then that I rembered that I had forgotten to make sothing important.
If there are baby bottles, wouldn’t that lessen the burdens on my wives?
Thinking so, I ran to the workshop.
I transmuted glass and ford them into baby bottles and enchanted it so it wouldn’t break easily.
I created teats out of natural rubber.
I could imagine the shape, so I made it with Alchemy in one go.
But the form isn’t the only thing that matters. I have to check its softness and whether its easy to suck……
It would be embarrassing to be seen by others, but it’ll be okay because nobody would co by the workshop since they’re all by baby’s side right now.
Between an adult like myself and a baby, there’s a huge difference in sucking strength, so it would be hard to perfect it, but I’d be able to get it to an acceptable level.
I enchanted it to remove the rubbery sll, and it’s complete, so I transmuted both the baby bottle and the teat at the sa ti. Teats are consumable, so I made plenty of those.
Once I had finished transmuting and enchanting them, Maribelle ca to call .
「So you were here, Master. The children’s nas have been decided.」
「Eh?」
「As I said, the children’s nas have been decided.」
「Wh- h-how about ?」
I didn’t understand the aning of the words that Maribelle spoke to , and so she put emphasis on the sa words she spoke.
「Master was nowhere to be seen, so everyone thought you had gone to the workshop to make sothing.」
「Then, you should have called !」
「No, Master’s opinion does not carry much weight, and so it was agreed upon that it would be reported to you post-facto. 」
「…………」
I collapsed, heartbroken.
Who would have thought I would not be involved with the naming of my children…… actually no, it’s not surprising.
If it’s my opinion vs Sophia’s, Maria’s, and Marnie’s, then I have no doubt their opinion would be taken anyway.
I’m not just making excuses because I lost or anything.
