157 - - The 157Th Nonstop Family.
Needless to say, the cause of my sleep deprivation is Eril. He cries so much that one would think that his predecessor was no better. He is so noisy. Rico is even more sleep deprived than I am because he is woken up in the middle of the night.
Even though we parents are sleep deprived, Eryl drinks a lot, cries loudly, and sleeps soundly. I am sure she will be a dynamic woman.
After the birth of our daughter, we made a surprising discovery. Rico\'s breasts have grown. As is usually the case after childbirth, she has a proper cleavage. However, because of her good milk production, her breasts are covered with breast milk if she is not careful. Rico is also having a hard time with Rico.
The biggest surprise is that for some reason, Erile is very attached to Matkal. At night, when she just can\'t stop crying, she asks Matkal to hold her. No matter how bad her mood is, she falls asleep in Matkal\'s arms. Lately, Matocal has been sleeping with Liko, and Liko\'s lack of sleep is finally being alleviated.
After giving him a breastfeed, changing his diaper, giving him a bath, changing his clothes....... All of these things are done together with the family, and they enjoy helping me. Naturally, as a father, I also help out.
The day February ended was a holiday. Everyone eats dinner together while soothing Erile, who is crying more than ever. After a full meal from Rico\'s breast and when Eryl finally fell asleep, everyone finished their meals and was spending time in their own way, when they heard voices in the dining room.
"Sister Mei...?"
When I looked, I found May standing in front of the door leading to the backyard garden. As I get closer, I see that her feet are wet.
"Is it possible that my sister Mei is also soiling herself...?
Ferris opens his mouth involuntarily.
"You idiot! My water broke! Get Roni! Call Roni! Hurry up!"
I give the order loudly and take her to the delivery room, covering her with a cloth. I put the cloth on the bed and slowly lay her down there.
"Master...it\'s all right. It\'s not the due date yet.
"No, if my water broke, I would have to give birth. Let\'s have Roni take a look."
"Yes..."
I held May\'s hand until Loni arrived.
As soon as Loni arrived, she immediately started to patch May up. Naturally I was escorted out of the room and Luara and Peris were called into the room by Roni. After a while, Roni came out of the room.
I just checked and my water broke. She has started to have some contractions. You are going to have the baby.
"Roni, I know it\'s before my due date, but will I be okay?"
"I\'m fine. I\'m about two weeks away from my due date, so I don\'t think it will be a problem.
"I see. You got it. I\'m counting on you.
Roni straightened up, bowed her head, and entered the room.
May\'s birth was very easy. She was born within two hours after her water broke. With Liko\'s precedent, we had anticipated that the birth would last until late at night, and had taken all possible precautions against it. Then Loni suddenly appeared, and we were nervous that something bad had happened.
"Hey... Roni... what\'s going on?"
Roni stretched his back with a serious face and looked around at all of us in the dining room.
"Hey... Roni?"
Hearing his voice, Loni\'s face crumples into a smile.
"Congratulations! Your baby is safe and sound. A beautiful baby girl. Lady Mei will be fine."
"""""Yay! !!!!"""""
Everyone high-fives and shares their joy. Then Rico, who was holding Eryl, pokes me on the arm.
"Linos, please go to May for her.
"Yeah, sure. I\'m off."
Loni led me to May.
She was a she-cat, much like May. She had lovely sheep\'s horns on her head, and already had sheep\'s wool on her head. She was crying and even her cries were adorable.
"Mei, you did it! Thank you."
"..."
Mei was shedding tears with a happy look on her face.
"It was a very easy delivery, much easier than Riko\'s."
Luara tells me with a smile. I smile back at her as I hold the child in my arms.
"Is this baby... small compared to Eryl?"
"Yes. Yes. She is a little small because she was born prematurely, but she is healthy. However, we will have to wait and see how it progresses."
"Yes, please do. Thank you, Roni. Thank you for taking care of both my girls. I look forward to working with you in the future."
Yes. I will do my best to help you until you are able to move.
Loni spoke very encouragingly without losing his usual firm attitude.
"Master.... I wonder if you could help me name her.
May opens her mouth with a smile.
"Yes. I\'m sure she\'ll be a lovely girl. We\'ll have to give her a pretty name.
With that said, I appraise her. It has "cultivation level 1".
"I\'m sure she will be a smart girl like Mei.
With that, I gave the baby back to him. May looked at the child with a very happy face.
Dinner was served that night. As it was not good for May to have a feast, Rico and Peris stayed with her. Rico made sandwiches and o-hagi (rice cakes) and took them with him, and Fairy flew behind him.
Meat was the main dish at our house. I stood in the kitchen and got out the dragon meat and the golden bird meat and made cutlets and fried chicken. Then I made a salad with marinated salmon-like fish from Krumphal, and garlic rice with garlic-flavored lemurica. The garlic rice was a big hit, if I do say so myself.
For dessert, I made a cake that I had been working on with Peris. I had expected that they would not be able to eat it, but the girls seemed to have other stomachs, and I was surprised that they ate it all, even though they were full. Roni, in particular, ate without restraint. I jokingly asked her if she was concerned about her diet, but she was surprisingly knowledgeable about dieting.
"As long as you don\'t binge eat or drink, there is no problem. Some aristocrats, for example, try to lose weight by fasting, but that is a complete disaster. Depending on the constitution, weight gain is often caused by an unbalanced diet or lack of exercise. There are also those who gain weight mentally.
That\'s quite an interesting story. It reminds me of my mother in my previous life, who always failed to lose weight. However, my mother took a manly way to stop dieting when she passed the 60th birthday.
"Dieting is bad for you. It only causes stress!"
These words are still burned in my brain.
"If you think you are not good enough, your success rate will be low. I\'m fat and I\'m no good. If you think you have to lose weight because you are fat, you will have a hard time losing weight. People try to avoid the things they don\'t like, so they eat more than they should. If you accept yourself as you are now and try to eat less so that you can be a little better, you will not have to force yourself to eat and you will lose weight naturally. Oh, do you have any more fried bean curd? Do you have any? ... I\'m sorry."
Roni was very handsome as he talked while eating fried food, and the girls, led by Ruara, were riveted by what he had to say. Seeing them, I opened my mouth.
"You guys aren\'t that fat, are you? In fact, I think you could be a little plumper."
For some reason, I was met with the scornful stares of all the girls. That night, the girls in the dining room seemed strangely distant from me, but I decided to pretend that it was just my imagination. Don\'t worry, I\'m sure it\'s just my imagination...
