Chapter 178.2. The Baby Has Been Born

-Miu’s POV-

I’m not lying. After handing the letter to Odin, he gave it to Mii-chan.

The household, with papa at the center, has somewhat united to be wary of Odin and counter him. I have to stop the foolishness of internal conflicts in the face of external threats.

And from an outsider’s perspective, it’s difficult to intervene because Odin, Papa, and Grandpa Kazamichi have a significant influence on Takano Miu, is present.

Even if they eliminate Mii-chan’s parents and Grandpa Kazamichi, as long as Odin is here, they can’t manipulate Mii-chan like a puppet.

Above all, they can’t shake off the suspicion that Takano Miu herself is just acting foolish.

It seems Mii-chan’s foolish acting is being seen through. Well, it can’t be helped. Mii-chan’s can’t hide her overflowing intelligence.

Taking down Washizu alone has caused various calculations to come into play, but it worked out remarkably well.

“No more homework for now!”

“I see. But Imperial Studies, huh? We’ll need to find a good tutor. Hmm, I should look for one next time.”

Papa twists his neck, his face showing a troubled expression, lost in thought.

Finding someone to teach Imperial Studies. No matter who we choose, they’ll have connections to some household. So it won’t be easy.

The safe choice would be from Teijou Marquisate and Takano County or a recommendation from the Emperor. Yeah, no matter who we choose, there will undoubtedly be issues. Grandpa Kazamichi would be the best, but he’s not suitable.

After all, his successor, Arashi, turned into a Martian. It’s a template where just because someone has high abilities doesn’t mean they’re good at teaching people.

Well, I’ll leave it to papa. If there’s a problem with the tutor, he’ll figure it out right away. It might be useful for various schemes. There’s no better target to manipulate than an exposed spy.”

That’s not the point right now. It’s mama’s childbirth.

“Papa, isn’t it about time?”

With a huff and a puff, as I try to move toward the back, I suddenly get picked up.

“I’ve already heard it multiple times. Calm down.”

“Yes.”

With a huff and a puff, exhaling from my small mouth, papa smiles and roughly ruffles my hair.

I wish I could use recovery magic on mama, but if, by any chance, it considers the baby as a foreign object and I heal it, it would be a disaster.

.

It’s a plausible scenario. Recovery magic is to restore a person’s health. So if it considers mama’s pregnancy as abnormal, the consequences would be terrifying.

That’s why I wanted to learn [Raise Dead] or [Revive]. Those might only work on game characters.

In the game, when HP reaches zero, it’s said as “Sustained a fatal injury”, and the character collapses. It wasn’t described as being dead.

And, naturally, I can’t revive fallen friends in an event battle. Resurrection may be impossible in this world.

“Am I okay? Am I okay?”

I feel a bit powerless and start to feel down. It seems all I can do is pray.

I try to wander again, but papa firmly holds onto me, preventing me from moving.

I’m impressed papa is so calm. Maybe it’s because it’s the second time around, I wonder. Just then, a nurse opens the door and comes out.

“The delivery went well! It’s a boy and a girl, twins!”

“Yes! I suddenly have a little brother and sister!”

Although we knew from the prenatal examination, hearing it again makes me happy. I break free from papa’s arms with a smile as bright as flowers and jump up and down.

“Can I go see them?”

“We have to wait a bit longer. Let’s have some juice here and wait, okay?”

“Yeah!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There were no siblings in my previous life. Excitedly, I headed for the vending machine.

In my past life, I didn’t have any siblings. Excitedly, I head toward the vending machine.

Later, I enter mama’s hospital room and see her lying in bed, wearing a gentle smile. She seems fine, and I feel relieved from the bottom of my heart.

Beside her, I see two baby beds. There are my younger brother and sister, sleeping there.

“First, let’s heal them!”

[Cure IV]

[Cure IV]

[Cure IV]

I raise my hand with a smile and cast status recovery magic on Mama and the twins. Healing effects occur, enveloping the three of them in a soft light.

Now, all allergies and ailments are completely healed. The three of them have become healthy and safe.

“Thank you, Mii-chan.”

“It’s a piece of cake for me! Can I take a peek at the babies?”

“Well, just look quietly.”

“Yeah!”

With a shy smile, I approach the baby bed and gaze at them gently.

There are babies there. They have thick black hair and curious black eyes that gaze back at me.

“Goo goo.”

“I’m Takano Miu, your big sister!”

The energetic babies show their little teeth and happily wave their hands. A strand of emerald green hair is transparently visible on their foreheads. The brother has a strand on the left, and the sister has a strand on the right.

“Papa, their hair is a little green!”

“Huh? That’s a mark of mana awakening. And it indicates a high potential to become a powerful magician… Wait, what?!”

“Oh! That’s true!”

So it’s a mark of a magician. Well, that’s how this world is. It’s a good thing to be a mage.

But more importantly, I have a little brother and sister. I will love them with all my heart!

Papa and mama are in a panic because of the mark of a magician, right?

Filled with joy and happiness, Mii-chan raises both hands and shouts “Hooray!”.
