CH 79

Dropped Into Another World V2C79

Chapter 79 – To Suffer….Parenting

A young boy begins to cry. I pick up Sun and pat his back gently.

It seems like the wooden toy he was playing with was taken by another child.

「You have to play together, got that? Thunder?」

Thunder, who took the toy, pouted.

His face is cute but you can’t take something that belongs to someone else without permission.

I explained it to him slowly.

Then, his little head nodded.

I don’t know if he really understands but I’ll trust him.

「Your lordship, Sakura seems to be sleepy.」

When I looked at Kuuhi, I stared at the little girl in his arms.

Sakura is repeatedly making big sighs and rubbing her eyes.

「Thank you for keeping an eye on her. The one eyes made a bed for her so why don’t you take her there?」

「Okay.」

「By the way, you haven’t had your lunch yet, right? You don’t have to wait for me. Just eat with Usa.」

「Okay.」

「Good and thanks.」

I gently pat Kuuhi’s head and he smiles happily.

These days, the two of them have helped me take care of the little ones that made them endure a lot.

Usa and Kuuhi are children too and they are the type who don’t talk about their feelings very often.

I’ll ask Ai later if these two are getting tired.

Ai’s race is especially fond of Kuuhi and Usa.

I’m sure they have been looking out for the two of them.

But we really got hit.

That day, the day when Goddess Aion came.

She asked me to do her a favor but I refused.

Because I thought there was absolutely no merit in doing so.

However, she persisted for about an hour, asking me to at least listen to what she had to say.

She looked depressed and I made a mistake when she said “I just want you to listen.”.

There’s no way I could ignore it after hearing what she had to say.

「I heard that magic circles malfunctioned because they have piled up gifts one after the other. Some gods summoned heroes without thinking much about it and several people like you were summoned.」

「What? People like me? Are they alive?」

「They were dying so I took care of them.」

「I see.」

「So, I need you to do me a favor.」

Honestly speaking, I wanted to say no. However, that means they are unknown creatures like me.

I was worried if there was a place for an unknown creature like me.

「What is it?」

「I want you to accept them on this planet.」

I guess that means there’s no place for them either.

「Shouldn’t this be handed over to the god of creation? Ah, there’s no god of creation. 」

「The next god of creation has already been decided. However, even the god of creation can’t decide what to do with them. If it goes like this….」

Since you have said that much, there’s no way I can ignore it.

….this is my loss.

「So, how many are they?」

「Are you sure? There are 7 of them.」

「7? That’s a lot.」

Well, it wouldn’t be much of a problem to accept that much here.

「Alright, I’ll take care of them.」

「Thanks. I’ll bring them here immediately.」

I’m now looking at Goddess Aion who just returned and held my head.

7.

The number was right but they were all children and very young too.

It was probably my fault for not asking their ages.

I never thought they would be this young.

However, I can no longer take back what I said.

Even so, I thought they should be as old as me since you said they were like me!

「I have to thank you. You saved us.」

「Why are they children?」

「When I went to rescue them, they were already dying so I reversed their bodies’ time.」

「Reversed?」

「I had their bodies go back to the time before they were severely damaged.」

I see. That’s the power of the god who controls time.

「However, it seems like the magics of the gifts were incompatible with time-reversal magic so time reversal went out of control. I invoked a spell to stop it from going out of control but for some reason….their memories were clearly erased….」

….what were you doing….

I glance at the children in the arms of Goddess Aion’s men.

The youngest is around four years old.

Or maybe a little older than that?

「Okay, I’ll take care of them. So, what are their names and genders?」

「Four boys, three girls. No names.」

「No names?」

「It was erased by the gift so they have no memory of it.」

「I see. But they should be able to remember their original names somewhere, right?」

「They won’t.」

Since you are very sure, there must be a reason.

However, that has nothing to do with me.

Let’s not get involved any further.

「I see.」

「….you’re not going to ask about it?」

I’m definitely not going to ask about it.

「It doesn’t really matter.」

While I was talking with Goddess Aion in vain, the one eyes came and took the children from Goddess Aion’s men.

「If you are curious….」

「I have a lot of things to do so….」

「….Tsk」

I think I just heard her click her tongue, didn’t she?

Good.

I feel like I’ve avoided something.

「You should go home, Goddess Aion.」

「….haa, I guess I have no choice. Next time.」

「I’m telling you, don’t bring any more complicated problems.」

「………………….well, I’ll come see you again.」

That was a nasty pause.

I’ll be careful next time I respond to what she’s saying.

It’s been a week since then.

I have new companions on this planet.

I’ve been busy dealing with the seven children.

At last, the one eyes have gotten used to the seven children and are beginning to cope with them.

Well, not only Usa and Kuuhi but even the infant angels helped us.

「Hnn? Whoa! Infant angels, put Wing down. None of these kids can fly!」

Before I knew it, the infant angels were flying while holding Wing by his arms.

I hurriedly entrusted Sun that I was carrying to the one eye nearby and went to the infant angels.

I raised my hands to catch Wing but the infant angels looked at me confused.

I guess they were thinking about me but I have to tell them something.

「These children don’t have wings so they can’t fly. They’re not even that strong yet. 」

The infant angels tilted their heads after hearing me.

Areh?

Didn’t you understand? As I was thinking, the two angels pointed behind me.

I looked at where they were pointing and saw one of the kids….Moon, flying in the air.

「She can fly? 」

I blinked my eyes a few times because I didn’t expect that.

However, it seems real.

「Ahhhh. She’s, well, she’s special. The other kids can’t fly…..yet. 」

There’s a chance that all of them can fly.

Let’s not assert it.

The infant angels went to the floating Moon.

Holding hands, they flew out.

「Don’t do anything dangerous. Infant angels, I’ll leave her to you. 」

When I said that, the two angels flew happily and faster.

「No, don’t be too fast. Moon might not like it. 」

No, Moon is enjoying it quite a bit.

It is impossible to stop them.

I guess I’ll just give up.

Nevertheless.

There are four boys, Thunder(Rai), Sun(Taiyo), Wing(Tsubasa), and Wind(Futa).

The three girls are Sakura, Moon(Tsuki), and Autumn Leaf(Kouyou).

TN: I’ll only translate their names in English this chapter. Their names will be Japanese in the succeeding chapters.

I never thought I would be raising 7 kids at once.

「”You never know what you will get in this life”. Whose words were those? 」

In any case, shall I go to the crying Wind?

AN: Volume 2 ends here.

After this will be an omake chapter.

I plan to follow up on the unanswered things in the omake chapter.

TN: After this volume will be an “omake volume” with 5 chapters.
