Chapter 86: The Baby
After seeing Lupetta off, I was about to leave when I was approached by a soldier.
I recognized his face, so he was probably a man of some position.
He said, “Young Master, I'd like to talk to you about the baby. I'd like to talk to you about the baby.
What is it?
There were eight babies that Lupetta had picked up.
The babies range from those who can roll over to those who can crawl and stand on their own feet.
Yesterday, she apparently made full use of her contacts among soldiers serving in the army to find women who could breastfeed.The babies, who had been weak, were able to drink mother's milk and became a little healthier.
When they tried to recruit these women as nannies, half of them refused.
The reason was simple: they did not want to come to a military base.
The other half of the women they were able to hire asked if they could work somewhere other than the military base.
It is outside the castle town and the soldiers are gathered there.
The military base where Akako is currently holed up is located outside the castle town, so it is far for some people to go there. .
I see.”
It will take some time to decide what to do with the baby in the future, and we need to take care of it here for a while.
The mother may not be around, and without a nanny, the baby would be in line to starve to death. We also need to consider the working environment for nannies. Currently, even if we recruit them, it is not always possible to gather them .
Even considering the military, it would be a burden to leave the babies here.
He said, “Hm. Then we should take them to the villa. It would be easier for the nanny to get around than here.
Since the villa is located in the castle town, there is no need to go all the way over the castle gate for the nanny's part-time job, and it is not full of military personnel. Even if we were to stay overnight, it would be much easier than here.
The baby would probably be happier to be nursed by a beautiful maid in the villa than by a sweaty male soldier.
I would be very grateful. May I ask you for a favor?
“Yes, I'll explain it to my father.
I summarized my thoughts on how to treat the baby and left a message for the messenger.
After that, I left the festive city and went to the pioneer company, where I found that only a few managers with company spirit had come to work.
I had planned to spend the afternoon making babies with Mimon, but unfortunately, she seemed to be closed today.
It was evening before I had them make arrangements for the liquor to be served in the city square and reconfirm the instructions given to them before their departure from Nambonan.
When I returned to the villa and walked down the corridor, I heard a baby crying in the distance.
It seemed that the baby had been moved as soon as possible.
The servants at the villa have the added task of taking care of the baby, but since I will no longer have to take care of the baby tomorrow, they will have to put up with it.
When I hear the word “Nanny,” The first person that comes to mind is Kasuga-bureau, the nanny of Tokugawa Iemitsu.
Because I have an image of Kasuga-bureau as a shrewd old woman, my brain associates nanny and old woman equally. Perhaps because of this, I have a hard time understanding the existence of a nanny for a young woman.
However, if I think about it calmly, this nanny is expected to play the role of a mother's milk tank.
Considering the age of births on the continent of Eluo, it is very likely that a young mother has come to the villa as a nanny.
Hmm.”
This would require us to identify the nanny as one of the baby's caretakers.If she is a beautiful young mama, I would also want to check the taste of her breast milk her in her bed.
I proceeded down the corridor toward the baby's crying and caught a servant who was walking along her and let her show me the way.
'Welcome back, young master.
The slightly spacious spare room was neatly furnished as a room for the baby.
The servants waiting in the room bowed revertently when they saw me.
Thank you for your hard work on such short notice.
I looked around the room while thanking the servants for their hard work.
The maids of the villa, a woman who looked like a part-time nanny, and Eve were taking care of the baby.
For some reason, there were not only eight babies, but twice as many as before.
Why are there so many babies?”
'Because some of the babies were brought by nannies.
One of the maids who was taking care of the babies answered my question.
I see, since it is the women who give birth to their children who produce milk, there are their children as well.
They can't leave their babies at home and they need to breastfeed them, so they bring them here.
I see.
They seemed to realize that we were “Young masters,” And some of the part-time nannies got up on their knees and put their hands on the floor. I move my hand to the side to encourage them to relax their posture.
Unfortunately, none of the part-time nannies had the looks that I liked. If I only looked at the ages of the nannies, I would say that the youngest was a junior high school girl and the oldest a college student, which is really nice .
Which are the eight babies?”
This way. They have red strings around their legs.
I would have recognized the babies with magical powers at once, but the servants could only distinguish them by their faces.
They put a marker on them in case they make a mistake.
“Hmmm,” He said. Speaking of which, what is the gender?
It's a 50-50 split. Four boys and four girls.
As the maid said, some of the babies had red strings wrapped around their legs. Their chubby legs, which looked as if they were wrapped in rubber bands, were very baby-like.
I looked at the faces to check out the girls who looked like they would grow up to be beautiful, but unfortunately I couldn't even see their future prospects.
Ta-da!”
Then the biggest baby of the eight with the red cord wrapped around her came up to me.
He was crawling like he was taking every step with a “Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta! Compared to the baby who had been lying down for a long time, she seemed to have grown up a lot.
Since I had come all the way up to her, I tried to touch her cheeks, which were puffed up like a squirrel's acorns, with my fingers and held her in my arms, Perhaps because of its high body temperature, it Looked like a hot water bottle.
Her eyes were round and cute.This baby might turn out to be a beauty.
Dooooo!
I tried to play with the other seven babies in turn, but whether they were sleepy, in a bad mood, or tired, I don't know, but they were not responsive in any way.
The most energetic one was the first baby who came close to me.The baby who responded to my actions made me want to bother her.
This baby is the cutest.
I said casually, while smoothing out the flesh on my legs her.
It seemed that Eve was glancing at me.
What is it?”
Eve seemed surprised that I had noticed her, and she shook her shoulders and fell on her face.
In front of Eve's eyes was a baby, stripped half-naked. She was probably trying to exchange diapers.
Yes, no.
When Eve shut up, I decided to play with the baby again.
I picked her up and gave her a taka-taka-taka-taka, which made her squeal with delight.
In my previous life, I was never married, let alone had a child, so I had never held a baby in my arms before.
The maid was looking at me with a sense of alarm, but I wanted to reassure her that I did not have a taste for knocking babies to the floor.
Eve was also looking at me with a surprised look on her face her.
So, what is it? Eve.
'Well, you know. ……Master likes babies, doesn't he?
It is strange to hear Eve say that, because it sounds like she is treating me like a pervert.
If I were to compare my taste in women to the strike zone in baseball, infants and toddlers would be wild pitches at the level of a direct hit to the back of the back net. I'm not perverted enough to touch a baby.
'Eve is the one you like? You seem quite used to taking care of her.'
With a masterful touch, Eve wrapped the baby in a cloth that looked like a hand towel.
Then, as if to calm her own agitated heart, she holds the baby in her arms.
In …… Village, she also took care of her neighbors' babies.”
The village where Eve lives was destroyed as an addition to the Great Northern Expedition by the royal army.Eve was abducted with her mother and forced to lead a second life as a sex slave.
As a village girl, it is not surprising that Eve is accustomed to taking care of babies.
“…… There you are! Hey, no! Sis, I'm not your mother. I can't give you boobs!
The baby in her arms her seemed to have grabbed Eve's breast without reading the air.
I guess he saw Eve's well-developed breasts and wanted to suck on them.I understand the feeling.
There was an indescribable goodness in Eve's cute attention to the baby.
You can smile like this……
I had a hankering for one more taste of Eve before heading to Nambonan.
Let's give her plenty of lovin' in bed tonight.
