Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 193

“Don’t tell me… it’s a boy.”

Dad’s eyes turned fierce.

Seriously, why are you like this over a baby?

Oh, right. I’m still a kid myself.

“It seems like the baby might be a boy一.”

My family glared daggers.

“一or maybe not. Anyway, it’s not human; it’s a Mythical Beast.”

“Ah, a Mythical Beast.”

Grandfather nodded with a gentle smile.

It seemed like Mom had some trauma from bringing home a thief and marrying him, so they were incredibly sensitive.

‘…But Dad, you were that thief, so you shouldn’t be like this to me.’

I pouted, and Dad’s eyes met mine.

“……”

Thinking about it, Mom was the one who seduced him, right? Then, Mom is the thief, not Dad.

To steal such a handsome man, my mom was a master thief worthy of Arsène Lupin [a fictional gentleman thief and master of disguise].

Just then, I heard my brothers muttering beside me.

“……But if we just leave it alone, won’t it grow up on its own?”

“Mythical Beasts are spirit beasts. It doesn’t really need human help. Even if it does, does it have to be our sister’s?”

“I already don’t have enough time with her.”

“If she has to worry about one more thing, we’ll be pushed to the back一.”

Hey, you guys.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at my brothers.

There was no need to worry about raising a child for the first time.

I already had three kids I was raising here.

I got into the carriage with my family, recalling the conversation I had with Aktrakhen earlier.

– The price I demand from you is twofold.

– One is to come find me.

– The next is to successfully awaken the Mythical Beast.

“That’s it?”

It was a bit unexpected.

I had gone through all sorts of hardships because of one bad contract, so I was prepared for something similar this time.

– Yes, that’s all.

– Simple, isn’t it?

“Simple my foot! I can’t trust spirit beasts at all!”

Hermes Jjak flapped its wings, stomping its little bird feet.

“How dare you try to entrust something like that to someone! As long as Hermes Jjak is here, absolutely not, jjak! Why are you pawning off something you can’t even do on my friend!”

“Wow, Ellie admitted I’m her friend for the first time.”

“Hmph! I didn’t exactly admit it!”

So birds can blush too.

It’s covered in feathers, but it’s amazing. Is it because it’s a spirit?

Hermes Jjak flew right up to my face and pecked its beak.

“You! Answer me properly! Absolutely not! Do you know how ridiculous that request is一.”

“Mama, you don’t like me?”

The Mythical Beast placed its thick paws on my lap and asked.

Its big eyes were tearful, so I quickly hugged the Mythical Beast.

It hadn’t been born long, but it was quite heavy.

“No way? How could I not like my baby?”

As if my words made it feel good, its fluffy tail wrapped around my arm.

“You idiot! Do you know how hard it is to awaken it? It’s a Mythical Beast among spirit beasts! Even spirit beasts give up! I, Hermes Jjak, am trying to stop you from suffering!”

“It’s cute, though.”

When I said that while hugging the Mythical Beast tightly, the long-tailed tit [referring to Hermes Jjak] puffed out its chest.

Then, it turned away from me.

Its tail feathers swayed from side to side.

“……I’m not cute; I’m cool.”

“Yeah.”

“I’m not cute, though.”

“Yeah.”

“I’m really on the cool side.”

“Yeah, yeah. You’re cool.”

“……Was my cuteness not enough?”

Hermes Jjak glanced back at me and asked.

– So there weren’t just one, but two children.

I had no choice but to nod at Aktrakhen’s muttering.

But looking at it now…….

“This suits my sister better.”

“Are you blind? Or are you just wearing them as decorations? This looks better on the fluffball no matter how you look at it.”

“I like this.”

“Hey! Zion! If you like that, just like it. Why are you trying to break what I chose! Are you trying to start something?”

I smiled contentedly, watching the chaos.

‘There weren’t just two kids; there were five. I forgot.’

Whew, it’s a good thing the employees left.

‘Did Dad send all the employees out because he expected this?’

I looked at Dad, and he was seriously consulting with Grandfather.

“It’s not enough.”

“Yeah, I think so too.”

“These jewels don’t even come close to my daughter’s loveliness.”

“……Loveliness? They can’t even compare to her toenail dirt.”

“My daughter doesn’t have toenail dirt.”

Excuse me?

“Ah, I misspoke. I must be getting old.”

Not even Grandfather?

“We should hold an auction. We need to find all the jewels in the world.”

I felt dizzy at the thought of them holding an auction instead of participating in one.

“……I just needed jewels to feed the Mythical Beast.”

The Mythical Beast was exceptionally unique.

Its baby food was jewels.

It’s not like it’s a dragon.

No, even dragons don’t eat jewels as baby food.

“See! This is just the beginning, jjak! It’s going to need more and more attention in the future, right?”

Hermes Jjak snorted on top of my head.

Unfortunately, the spirit’s words didn’t seem to be heard by anyone else.

“It’s okay.”

“……Do whatever you want!”

Hermes Jjak tapped its bird feet.

That’s all fine, but that’s on top of my head. Your claws are sharp.

‘But I mean it. The more attention it needs, the better.’

I hope I suffer a lot and have a hard time.

– Squeak…….

I was startled by the squeaking sound in my head and looked up.

– Be careful. Mythical Beasts have different characteristics depending on the individual, but the baby seems particularly sensitive to your emotions.

– But it’s quite unique. There are cases where they eat the person who took care of them as soon as they’re born……. Such empathy.

Huh? What?

Eat what?

– It seems like you’re giving it overflowing love. I can rest assured.

No, what am I supposed to do when you say something unsettling and then reassure yourself?

I haven’t exactly taken care of it with overflowing love.

It seemed to be because of the item.

‘I survived thanks to the item.’

– Don’t think too negatively. Still, it’s because of the baby that I contacted you.

“Because of the Mythical Beast?”

– Yes, the baby, who was born after hundreds of years, was crying so much looking for its mother. I couldn’t pretend not to know.

– Besides…… I don’t know what would happen to the Mythical Beast if you died right away.

Aktrakhen’s words were strange.

It wasn’t just concern that the child of the clan, born after hundreds of years, might be upset一.

‘I feel a strange fear.’

But I couldn’t figure out the source of that emotion.

* * *

Crunch.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

“……It eats well.”

I smiled as I watched the jewels disappear into the Mythical Beast’s mouth in an instant.

I can’t cry, so I have to smile.

It’s nice to see the baby eating well…….

“Our baby is a gem appraiser. How does it pick out the most expensive ones?”

How admirable.

The meal that had been going on for a while finally ended.

The Mythical Beast patted its bulging belly and flew to me.

“Mama!”

“Oh my, you seem to be in a good mood.”

It was so heavy that my body swayed when it hugged me.

“Yeah! I was hungry because I hadn’t eaten for over a month. I’m full now!”

My heart ached at those words.

It had been starving since it was born.

“While I was passed out, you could have asked other people for food.”

“……How dare they touch my sura [Korean for meat or meal]?”

“Huh?”

“No! I just need Mama to take care of me!”

“Okay. Mom will make a lot of money and buy you more delicious things.”

When I patted its butt, the Mythical Beast purred and rubbed its body.

Well, that’s all good, but you’re really heavy.

“But you know, Mama.”

The Mythical Beast cautiously looked at me, unlike usual.

“What’s wrong?

“What’s my name?”

Name.

My heart sank at those words.

“There’s no such thing.”

“Then I’ll give you one. Your name.”

“Sid. Let’s call you Sid.”

“…….”

It’s been years, but Sid’s expression at that time is still vivid.

We didn’t spend much time together.

Rather, the time we spent together was so short.

Nevertheless, that child unexpectedly comes to me every moment.

Like someone who has been with me all my life.

Sid.

Sidrian.

Even after returning to the Imperial Palace and being recognized as the Emperor’s child, he did not abandon the name I gave him.

The Emperor must have tried to give him a new name.

It was obvious that the name given by the Emperor would be much more politically helpful.

I wonder what he was thinking while still using the name I gave him.

“…….”

“If it’s hard for Mama to make one, you don’t have to!”

The Mythical Beast licked my cheek.

“The story of the name comes out, and Mama hurts. Mama keeps hurting, but it hurts more.”

I forced a smile.

I unconsciously avoided naming it without even knowing it.

Because you were the first one I ever named.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t name this child.

“No. Mom doesn’t hurt. Mom will give you a cool name.”

“Yeah!”

“Let’s see……. Black License The Mega Supersonic.”

“……Wow! I’m so excited to see what kind of name Mama will give me!”

“So, Black License一.”

“I’m so excited!”

“…….”

Are you ignoring the name I just made?

From Ansur to Surah and Kochon Chicken [referencing previous naming attempts].

My naming sense is honestly below average…… no, it’s on the ground.

‘Still, it’s better than Dad and Grandpa.’

What is OurDaughterProtectionSquad and MyMoneyMyHandYourLifeMyHand PetiteCutePretty OurYoungestGranddaughterPrincess TMI unit.

Even MyMoneyMyHandYourLifeMyHand is an abbreviation for My money is my granddaughter’s, your life is my granddaughter’s, right?

I know why the members and staff desperately shorten it to WBD and SSS.

‘……Could it be that the lack of naming sense is also hereditary.’

“I’ll think about it a little more.”

“Yeah, the name is very important. Very.”

The Mythical Beast’s eyes sparkled strangely brightly as it said that.

To the point where it couldn’t simply be called anticipation.

‘Name…….’

No, no!

I shook my head and scattered the afterimages that were rising up.

‘Then first, the notifications that have been piling up.一’

“Mama.”

The Mythical Beast tilted its head, staring at me.

“But why do I have two Papas?”

“Huh?”

“I have two Papas. Originally, there’s only one.”

“Who’s Papa?”

The Mythical Beast looked shocked at my words.

“What if Mama doesn’t know!”

“Oh, really?”

A mom who doesn’t even know who the baby’s dad is is a bit much, right?

But I didn’t give birth to you…….

I was wondering how to explain this to the child.

‘……Even if you just look at it, I’m not the Mythical Beast’s real mom. Will it be shocked if I say this?’

Even if it finds out someday, should I protect the child’s unbiased purity now?

By the way, where are the two dads doing while I’m here?

At that time, the Mythical Beast frowned.

“There’s a blonde Papa and a black-haired Papa.”

“Huh?”

“The blonde Papa is the Papa who was with Mama in the Demon World back then.”

No, Sid is the dad?

‘He’s never even seen it when it was an egg一.’

At that moment, a thought flashed through my mind.

Could it be that what it thinks is Papa…….

“The black-haired Papa is a very tall person. Taller than Mama.”

No.

It can’t be.

But as always, the sad premonition was correct.

“The black-haired Papa always gives Mama flowers.”

I see.

It’s Echen.

The flowers must be Shyren flowers.

Suddenly, my head hurt.

Could it be that it recognizes the person I have in mind as Papa?

Why does it recognize it that way?

No, that’s not the problem.

What am I going to say to the child?

That I’m a player?
