Chapter 541
Cheerful and Brave
The dungeon got a little quieter.
It was because the girls were no longer at home during the day.
I felt a sense of loneliness just because I didn’t hear their cheerful voices.
When did I become so sentimental?
I’ve recently been more emotional than usual.
–I’m not sure if I’m being overly emotional, but even with only the adults left behind, it’s still noisy in our house.
“Onii-san… I would like to hold a debate on why babies are so cute!” (Nell)
Nell, who had been spending a lot of time at home lately because she was already doing her brave work like a part-timer, suddenly said.
“Yes, please do. Please hold the meeting.” (Yuki)“The president is me, Nell, the president of the Cute Little Baby Committee!” (Nell)
“Yes, okay. President-dono of the Cute Little Baby Committee!” (Yuki)
“Onii-san, vice president of the Cute Little Baby Committee! What is your opinion?” (Nell)
“Oh, I’m the vice president.” (Yuki)
Lyuu, who was holding Riou and nursing her, burst out laughing at our exchange.
“Husband, Nell’s switch of being an unstoppable appreciator has activated. Well, I’ll leave dealing with her to Husband.” (Lyuu)
“You think so as well? Actually, I also thought that it couldn’t be helped in this case.” (Yuki)
Nell was our runaway engine, and once she was in this mood, she just wouldn’t stop.
Once she started, she would not stop talking about what she liked, and let her emotions run wild.
And when she was in this state, I was the one she would talk to. Well, since I was her husband, it was certainly my role.
Well, hero, wife, bathtub extremist, weapons fetishist, and runaway engine, how many attributes could she pile up on her roster of titles? It was okay though because she was cute.
“Look, vice president and messy Onii-san! What’s your opinion!” (Nell)
“Is there a reason why you bothered to add that [Messy] part? …Well, I think babies are cute because they are cute, not because they are stupid.” (Yuki)
“Correct! Sometimes there is no reason in the world for something to be cute!” (Nell)
Nell said something like that in response to my tentative opinion.
I was glad to see that she was enjoying herself.
“Also, I think the fact that it’s my and Lyuu’s child is another reason why it’s even cuter.” (Yuki)
“Yes! That’s right! My family’s child! That means it’s my child too! Wonderful… cute!” (Nell)
“Hey Lyuu, what should I do? Nell is even more excited than usual today.” (Yuki)
“I’m sorry, but we can’t deal with her on our own when she is in that state. Please do your best, husband.” (Lyuu)
“You’re just throwing it all on me because it’s too much trouble, huh? As one of my wives, I think I would appreciate it if you share my struggles in dealing with my wife’s problems.” (Yuki)
“No, no, a wife’s job is to deal with her husband. Then it is the husband’s job to take care of his wife. It’s inappropriate to say that to us.” (Lyuu)
“…Lyuu, you’re getting pretty good at your talk-backs, you know.” (Yuki)
“I’ve been trained by someone else.” (Lyuu)
Lyuu was now showing strength that she never had before.
Nell, however, ignored our exchange and continued to run wild.
“Soon Lefi and Oni-san will have a baby! This is just too much! Life is great! Life is wonderful! Here you go, Onii-san! Repeat!” (Nell)
“Life is great!” (Yuki)
“Yes! Life is great! I wish I could teach Riou a lot about the things in life!” (Nell)
“Yes, I want to teach her many things. I’d love to teach her all about the bathhouse.” (Yuki)
Nell’s face lit up at my words.
“Yes, that’s right! I will definitely raise Riou to be a freedom fighter in pursuit of baths! Together, we’ll search for the world’s secret baths, and then I’ll show her that in the end, the best thing in the world is our bath! Onii-san, you’ve got a great idea!” (Nell)
“Nell, I’m sorry, but I won’t let you raise her that way. I don’t care whether she likes taking baths or not.” (Yuki)
“Mmmm, different educational policy…! Okay, Lyuu, let’s discuss it a lot! I really want Riou to know how wonderful the baths are…!” (Nell)
“Husband…Nell got even more heated up because you said unnecessary things. Please take responsibility for that.” (Lyuu)
“No, I don’t appreciate you blaming me for this… Ah, Nell-dono, I don’t mind letting you teach her how wonderful the baths are, but then it’s up to Riou to decide of her own free will what she wants to do with that topic, please.” (Yuki)
“! Yes!!! Sure, it’s the family’s duty to teach her things, but what she does from there is up to Riou herself! …Riou, a bath is a wonderful thing. It is truly wonderful…!” (Nell)
“Oh, my wife Nell. Don’t brainwash her by whispering to her while she is a baby.” (Yuki)
You really leave no stone unturned when it comes to baths. It couldn’t be helped… that’s just how Nell was.
“Riou, you must not grow up like this.” (Yuki)
“Riou, it’s very good to live freely, but don’t go to this extreme.” (Lyuu)
“Riou, let me take you to Bath Heaven together!” (Nell)
What was a bath heaven?
At our words, Riou just twitched her little ears and looked at us with her curly eyes.
Cute.
