<h4>Chapter 306: Calmness</h4>


    “Au, au~”


    “”What a good child~””


    Today, Allen and Elena have been devoting themselves to Lucario-kun since morning.


    “Almeria-san, I’m sorry it’s like this every single day.”


    “Fufu, it’s alright. It really helps that they are here to humor him. Besides, Lucario also likes to y with his older siblings.”


    “… That is good, then.”


    They are sticking to Lucario-kun too much, so I felt bad to the mother, Almeria-san, but she didn’t seem to mind. Well, I cannot tell whether these were her true feelings or just a ttery, though.


    “But, please don’t hesitate to scold them if they misbehave.”


    “Oh my, there’s no need to worry that much about these children, no?”


    “This will sound like something a doting elder brother would say, but… they are certainly clever. However, I have a feeling that they might do something wrong out of good intentions.”


    “Oh my, so you mean it like that. I understand then. I also have to be careful anyway, so I will pay attention to it.”


    I will try to handle it, but I’d like the adults around Lucario-kun to be aware of it as well, so I had to tell them while feeling apologetic. Almeria-san nodded in understanding.


    “Wah~”


    “”Luca-chan, what is it~?””


    “Wah, wahh.”


    “”Luca-chan is crying~””


    “Oh my? I see, I wonder if it’s time for his milk?”


    “”Milk? Do you want to eat?””


    When Lucario-kun started crying because he was hungry, I decided to take Allen and Elena away from him.


    “See, it’s lunchtime. Let’s go have lunch too, Allen, Elena.”


    “”… Okay~””


    We also left Lucario-kun’s room for lunch, but when we finished eating, Allen and Elena immediately wanted to go return to Lucario-kun’s room.


    “My, oh my, Allen-chan and Elena-chan really seem to love Lucario-chan a lot.”


    “”Yea! We love Luca-chan!””


    When we came to Lucario-kun’s room again, I found that Almeria-san was not there, but Reba-san was.


    “Wah~”


    “Luca-chan, don’t cry~”


    “Luca-chan, there, there~”


    “Wah, wahhh…”


    “”Luca-chan, bed-time?””


    Allen and Elena were doing their best to quiet down Lucario-kun, who had drunk his fill of milk and was dozing off.


    “Allen-chan and Elena-chan are really attached to Lucario-chan, aren’t they~”


    “Indeed. I can’t forcibly take them away… I wonder what to do about this?”


    While the kids were taking care of Lucario-kun, I was making small talk with Reba-san.


    “Oh my, do you have to separate them? There’s really no need for that, is there?”


    “Well~ you see… it must be bothersome to have them at Lucario-kun’s side all the time, right?”


    “Lucario-chan doesn’t have a wet nurse yet, so he doesn’t have any baby siblings either, you see? That’s why I’m thankful that they are at his side.”


    Huh? I think I heard them talking about goat’s milk before, but… I see, when nobledies give birth, it’s normal for a wet nurse to take care of the child, huh.


    “Since there’s no wet nurse, does it mean you had no intentions of finding one?”


    “We had a candidate, but her birth was dyed. We are looking for another one, but we can’t find anyone good~”


    “I see.”


    Well, we are talking about a child that will be the heir, so the family must have strict requirements for the wet nurse.


    “Did Velio-san or Wald-sama have a wet nurse?”


    “Fufu, Lizzy was their wet nurse.”


    “Is that so!”


    Lizzy-san is Reba-san’s personal maid, she’s a gentle and diligent person. I have been helped by her many times, and she also takes care of the twins.


    So she was their wet nurse!


    “Eh, then, the foster siblings… did I meet Lizzy-san’s children already?”


    “You did.”


    “Eh, really?”


    “Yeah, you’ve met Daniel.”


    “Daniel-san!?”


    Daniel-san is Velio-san’s secretary, and I had met him many times since I arrived in Rubia.


    I’ve heard that Cyrus-san is also helping Velio-san with his work and is Daniel-san’s younger brother.


    “That’s right. Lizzy gave birth to Cyrus right around Wald-san’s birth. That’s why Lizzy is the wet nurse of both of our children.”


    “Is that so~”


    I was surprised to hear about Ruven family’s state of affairs.


    “Huh, the children got quiet.”


    “Really. My oh my, my, my!”


    “Reba-san, is something the——ah~ the two fell asleep too, huh~”


    While I was talking with Reba-san, the children were quiet, so we checked on them. Allen and Elena, who surrounded the sleeping Lucario-kun on both sides, also fell asleep before I noticed.


    “Fufu, how cute~”


    “Truly. Ah, right!”


    I took out my magic tool camera and snapped a picture. I took a picture of the three sleeping faces.


    “Oh, it came out well~”


    “Oh my!”


    When I looked at the picture on the screen, it was one of the best shots I’ve ever seen!


    “Takumi-san, I know that magical power paper is a precious item, but…”


    “Ah, would you like a picture too?”


    “If I could ask you for one.”


    Reba-san looked envious, so I quickly took another picture and handed it to her.


    “Fufu, thank you. Oh, I will have someone send you the fee for the magical power paperter.”


    “Nono, I was luckily able to obtain a lot of magical power paper, so there’s no need for money.”


    “Oh my, it doesn’t change the fact that magical power paper is a valuable item. You cannot refuse.”


    “Eh, but…”


    “You can’t. Take it.”


    I got a lot of magical power paper from Syl, so I can take as many pictures as I want now. So it’s not going to hurt me to give a few away, but Reba-san won’t understand that. Even if I had a lot of them, she wouldn’t let me give them away, saying that they are valuable.
