Right now, Iām not lying on my back but sideways.
I know itās Rodo whoās stroking my hips but that didnāt stop me from sweating because of the pain.
Obstetrics is undeveloped in this world, and instead, there are midwives.
Rodo bothered to call Marihectās best midwife and attached them to me.
Seems like His Majesty came to visit many times during my pregnancy, but I only met him on that day when they decided on the name.
At first, I was nervous around Rodo, but soon, the tension was released.
I was also nervous around my parents-in-law, but it was okay if Iām in Rodoās arms.
ā¦but that didnāt include the others.
I donāt feel ānervousā or āanxiousā like with Rodo, but I canāt get close to other people.
Itās like Iām coercing themā¦or something like that.
I think I had a very bad attitude but I canāt help it.
I thought itād be a little better as my stomach got bigger, but it didnāt.
It ended with everyone saying that the child might just be wary of othersā¦
Seems like this wasnāt the case when Rodo was in mother-in-lawās stomach.
Did the child not reject the midwife because they instinctively felt theyāre necessary?
Is it because itās a āhalf-Akinistā?
And thenāā
Once again, I respect all the mothers in the world.
The pain and suffering made fainting better as my sweat gushed out and my tears flowed freely.
āKo, do your best. Just a little more.ā
The sweat-sticky hair was combed by a hand and the sweat was wiped off.
Itās very encouraging to have Rodo on my side who patiently called out to me many times.
Seems like Akinists donāt witness childbirth.
They said that Rodoās every word and action at this moment was because Iām his mate.
The midwife also had few words because of the pressure from an Akinist.
Probably because there are three in the house and Rodo is nearby.
But that didnāt mean she didnāt speak at all. I saw her speak while with the three many times so I think she got used to it a little.
Besides, she seemed to have also delivered Rodo.
Thatās why sheās better than other midwives.
āThe head came out. You can do it!ā
I kept going as told and felt a lump coming out of my body.
Itās hot rather than painful.
There were no other sensations, just that.
Like I was told, I inhaled, exhaledā¦
How long has it been?
It felt like a big lump was coming out of my body and then it was out.
āMyuā¦mii.ā
I could hear a kitten-like cry.
āHeās a healthy boy.ā
In front of me was an Akinist, who looked like a black kitten with wet fur.
Maybe because itās a kitten, it didnāt have a mane like Rodo.
It really looked like a black cat.
Maybe its limbs are thicker than a kittenās?
ā¦but the size was completely different.
āBecause heās a boy, his name is Eldred (erudoreddo). ā¦nice to meet youā?ā
My vision distorted as I was speaking.
It must be full of tears.
(Iām so movedā¦)
My tears were wiped and my view became clearer.
āKo, youāre tired. You did your best.ā
āNn.ā
Feeling Rodo stroking my head, I entrusted myself to sleep.
āāāā
āā
When I woke up, my body was light.
āDid you wake up? Is there anything wrong?ā
As soon as I opened my eyes, Rodoās worried face looked at me.
Andāā
āMyu. Myu.ā
The black cat was also staring at me from nearby.
āYeah, Iām fine. ā¦Eldred. El. Thank you for being born.ā
When I stroked his head, he closed his eyes as if feeling good.
ā¦too cute.
Heās a little smaller than an adult cat.
I was smitten the moment I saw him.
Itās already confirmed.
Seems like heād be able to speak between ages one and two.
Until then, will he only cry like a cat?

āMyu.ā
āā¦heās so cute.ā
Rubbing your face against mineā¦do you want to kill me?
Iām sure my facial expression now is completely overwhelmed by cuteness.
Iām told that I should absolutely rest after giving birth, so Iāve been sleeping in bed all the time, but Rodo, El, and my parents-in-law are all in the room.
Rodo sat on the bed next to me, stroking my head and cheeks.
El is standing next to my pillow, looking into my face and rubbing his face against my cheeks.
Breastfeeding seems difficult when the races are different.
So thereās a baby formula in this world as well.
It was His Majesty who prepared various nutritional supplements for the Akinists.
He also brought a lot of powdered milk and now itās piled up in the kitchen.
Many things canāt be left to Akinists when it comes to childcare.
When Rodo was just born, my parents-in-law didnāt know the existence of baby formula and just thought they should give him something to eat.
His Majesty said that he had a lot of trouble because he didnāt seem to want to let go of Rodo and leave it to someone else, even though he wasnāt interested in caring for his own child.
I was surprised when they said they fed adult food to Rodo when heās in a period that should eat baby food.
When I heard that, I thought it was good that Akinists have sturdy bodies.
For a normal baby, it wouldnāt just cause indigestion.
āHave you already given him milk?ā
I smell milk from El.
āThe midwife gave him a drink earlier.ā
āI see. ā¦looks like she already left.ā
Thereās no midwife in the room.
I didnāt have time to thank her.
āMiiā¦myu.ā
āHm? Whatās wrong?ā
El licked my cheeks with his rough tongue.
I picked him up and put him on top of me, then stroked him like thatā¦his eyelids fell and he looked sleepy.
āAre you sleepy? ā¦Good night.ā
As a newborn, itās only natural to get sleepy after drinking milk.
Perhaps heād been enduring it until now, he immediately fell asleep after putting him on top.
āKo, isnāt he heavy?ā
āItās fine.ā
I held Rodoās hand trying to remove El from me.
Even though weāre all family, heās probably nervous being surrounded by Akinists so heās sticking to me.
Thatās been the case since he was in my stomach.
(I gave birth to Rodoās childā¦)
That feeling gradually surfaced.
I didnāt know what my age and lifespan were, and I wanted a kid by the age of thirty, but I didnāt expect to see him so quickly.
Having a child with my favorite person makes me feel so happyā¦
āRodo, Iām the happiest right now. ā¦thank you for making me happy.ā
While saying that, my tears flowed freely.
Iām sure happiness is waiting for us in the future.
āIām really glad I met Rodo.ā
If I had stayed in Japan, I wouldnāt be so happy.
Iām sure of that.
āIām also happy to meet Ko.ā
He hugged me with a smile.
(Itās really painful, but I want a child again.)
As long as itās a child with Rodo, it can be any number.
ā¦I imagined myself having a lot of children in the future and laughed.
