Chapter 4

「「「Happy Birthday, Congratulations on becoming one year old—————!!!」」」

That being said, I became 1 year old.

While being seated, I’m surrounded by people on my birthday, everyone was making a fuss, whether it was my parents or the servants. It’s not on the level of being related anymore.

「It’s only been a year since you were born, that was fast, children really grows up fast.」

「That’s right, dear, one time you were embracing him, and by the next…..」

「Ah, it’s the Spirit Arts. Our son is really frightening! He was just playing with the block pieces but he was already using the arts like that of an adult! As I thought, our son is a genius!」

Even though my father and the rest said it, truthfully, my parents thought highly of me.

This ridiculously birthday party, isn’t it stupidly amazing? This beautiful couple.

I picked the wiener that was in front of me using the fork, brought it into my mouth and desperately chewed on it.

It was just as lately that I have been freed from eating baby food.

It’s really a bliss to chew on things that can be eaten…..

「Jack-sama, your mouth became unclean」

The twin-tailed caretaker maid wiped off the mess on my mouth.

It seems like I’ve gotten used to the treatment as a baby.

Normally, I should have been embarrassed already since she’s also in-charge of changing my diapers.

「Arniel. You also have been taking care of Jack very well.」

When father said so, Arniel waved her hands in denial.

「No way, no way! Such things, it’s not really a problem……」

「No. It is thanks to you that my husband and I was able to rest assure. Since this is a good opportunity, I’ll give you a paid vacation.」

「Eh……..? Is that really alright….?」

「Yes. From time to time, you should show your face to your family.」

「Thank you very much! ………But……..」

When Arniel saw me, she gently smiled.

「……It’s not really that I’m having a hard time, I think. Jack-sama……. How to say this…….. someone that’s very precious to me.」

She gently touched my cheeks.

Somehow it tickles, I naturally laughed.

Father laughed「Ha Ha Ha！」.

「Don’t push our son to the corner! It’s still too early for him to place a woman in his heart!」

「Kusukusu. I hope he does not turn into a man who’ll make girls cry.」

「It’ll just be fine! I’ll make sure to properly watch over him!」

Saying so, Arniel caressed me again, so I laughed once more.

Me too, for now, I’ll forget everything, I let myself envelope by warmth and laughter.

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

「Well the, Jack-sama. It’s time for your walk.」

The day after my birthday, by noon time, Arniel lifted me out of the bed.

It has been my daily routine going for a walk with her while holding me.

Arniel was poking and rubbing my cheeks while giggling.

I’m already big Arniel-san, it’s kind of embarrasing if you do that.

Arniel greeted the gate keepers「Thanks for your hard work.」, then the gate keepers returned the greetings.

The Leibre mansion is located near the forest.

Arniel is walking along a pathway that leads to the forest.

「Jack-sama. I’ll be having my day-off tomorrow.」

While walking, Arniel bitterly talked.

「I would like to spend my break with my family. It has been a while…….. been a very long time…… since I have seen them….」

Arniel’s face somewhat looked lonely while saying so.

Since I’m unable to talk for now, I desperately reached out my hand to pat her.

「Fufu….. Are you comforting me? Jack-sama is really an expert in handling women.」

Arniel smiled,

「But, it’s alright now. It’s true that up until now, I’ve been missing you for a long time…….. From now on, we’ll be together now for eternity.」

Was father able to tell that she’s been wanting to see her family for a while now?

As expected of an earl, the man who’s managing a territory to be able to tell so, it seems like I won’t be able to do such feat.

But since I’m the son of such man, for sure I’ll be able to do it too.

Under the arcade of the forest, Arniel was walking while holding me.

The rustle of the leaves resonated as the wind blew.

「The wind felt good ne.」

As the rays of the sun sometimes passed through the leaves’ gap, I felt warmth in me.

Probably, it’s spring right now.

In my one year living again, I learnt that there are four seasons in this continent.

Since it has just been cold a while ago, so right now it’s spring

My birthday is in between the winter and spring season.

…….. This is bad. I’m getting sleepy.

A baby really sleeps a lot. It’s quite troublesome.

I’m somehow thinking about something, my consciousness was slowly fading…..

…… Ah, its no use. I’m sleepy……..

「――――♪」

I heard a hum.

It seems like Arniel is in a good mood even before her vacation.

But this melody…… Somehow…. I think I’ve heard it somewhere before….

….. Was Anriel singing this…before……?

My consciousness is slowly fading while listening to her humming.

「――――♪」
