BXBX NOVEL Chapter 357 My Two Little Siblings
-----
The reason behind the two F Rank Familiars created through Synthesis was because the [Familiar Synthesis: Lv1] Skill had already reached Level 2. Now, I can possibly create E Rank Familiars using Synthesis, but because I lack E Rank Familiars, I can\'t do this yet. The other skills are getting closer to level 3 already, so I might be able to upgrade some of my F Rank Familiars into E Rank, as I\'ve accumulated a lot of their respective Spirit Orbs. Synthesis Familiars are hard to make though, as I can only produce their cards by fusing the respective cards that create them, therefore, they usually take three times as much MP as the others, this is why I\'ve only summoned 1 Shell and 3 Falcos for now, more than this would be destroying my daily MP.
Nonetheless, all of such things didn\'t seem to matter, as it was my turn to change my sibling\'s diapers. I asked Eleanora for help, but she seemed unwilling, so I had to take over the trial by myself. It was arduous and filled with suffering but remembering how my mother did the same when I was less than a year old reminded me that I had to give her back such a favor by helping her with my siblings.
"Babaaaahh!"
The little Anna\'s bright green eyes were open wide as her tiny hands pointed at me. Just yesterday she had become rather active, exploring the world with her eyes and tiny hands, although she can\'t even move yet.
"And done… You\'re all clean now. Magic is sure convenient when changing diapers and washing babies." I sighed, I\'ve been using water and light magic such as [Water Splash] and [Clean] to clean the two children whenever they got their diapers nasty. I\'ve also spent some of my savings buying a lot of new clothing that are used as diapers, as Anna and Allan usually use two diapers a day.
"Buuuhh…"
Anna gave out a groan as she seemed completely clueless about whatever I was talking about. I sighed a bit as I smiled and gently petted her little head, it was very warm. Suddenly, her tiny hand reached to my own, as she tightly grabbed my index finger. Her hand was so small and delicate that I was afraid I would hurt her.
"Bahh…"
"What\'s wrong?"
I looked at the little Anna as she suddenly… smiled.
"Bah!"
"You\'re smiling… I think this is the first time you smile, Anna."
She kept extending her other hand towards me, and I couldn\'t help but give her my other hand\'s index finger to grab it, as she held both of them, she seemed happy. Her little fingers were very warm, warming up my cold hands.
I couldn\'t help but smile myself.
"You\'re precious…" I sighed in lower voice, as I let go of her little hands and gave her a kiss in her forehead. "Sleep for now."
I gently covered her in blankets and left her there. Anna was very calm most of the time, and after a few minutes, she fell asleep almost immediately.
"Baaaahh! BAAAAH!"
However, her twin brother quickly woke her up as he began to cry.
"What\'s wrong, Allan? You\'re such a crybaby…" I sighed, as I went to look at him.
"Buhh… Sniffle… BAAAH!" Allan suddenly began to cry even louder when he saw my face, as if I had spooked him.
"Mother, can you come? I think Allan is hungry."
"Coming!"
My mother quickly walked to the second floor and entered the room where both babies were, which was also the room where my parents slept. She gently held him in her arms and began breastfeeding him. He indeed was hungry.
"I\'ll go finish what you were cooking then." I said.
"Thank you dear." My mother replied, as I ran downstairs.
"Life with babies is surprisingly busy." Eleanora said, appearing at my side.
"Well, would you look at that, a coward has appeared." I said, while looking at the stew my mother was preparing.
"I-I am not a coward!" Eleanora angrily said.
"You said this family was also yours, but you don\'t even want to help at dealing with the children." I sighed. "I can confidently say you\'re a coward."
"Ugh… I-I just am not good with kids, okay?!" Eleanora angrily said. "I… apologize for not helping. I\'ll try."
"Oh you\'ll surely will, I was already planning on forcing you to help anyways." I said. "But I\'m glad you\'ve changed your mind. The next diapers will be changed by you. My mother was also complaining you don\'t help at all."
"Ugh… Okay…" Eleanora sighed, she looked completely defeated.
"I\'m home!"
Suddenly, my father entered the house by opening the door wide open, bringing with himself a small wild boar calf, a young giant wild boar usually has the size of a gray wolf, and their meat is usually tender and more delicious as well, it seems that his hunt went well.
My father had resumed his hunting sessions with his hunter friends these last weeks, and had brought something almost every day, even if small. He had said "I cant let my kid bring meat every day, I also gotta work myself!". And so, he had been in charge of bringing meat to the house since then.
"Oh, a young wild boar… Can I have the spirit orb to strengthen Orcus?" I wondered.
"Hmmm… Sure." My father hesitated for a bit but decided to still gift the spirit orb to me. "We could sell it but its not as if we have any money problems."
"Thanks father. Food will be ready soon, bring that to the storage." I said.
"On it!" My father quickly went to bleed the wild boar carcass as I decided to serve the stew, with recently baked bread and herbal tea.
My family quickly gathered to eat together, as we enjoyed yet another day together.
Knowing that in a year and a half I\'ll have to leave my house has made me appreciate each day I spent with everyone even more…
