Arifureta Manga Vol 7 SS

The Only Masterful Way to Pacify the Overflowing Motherhood

.

Brieze departed from Fuhren and headed toward the town of Horuad. At the inside,

「Nnmyuaa~」

Such cry (?) resounded. What in the world this adorable creature could possibly be?

It was the young child sleeping with her head placed on my lap with the shaking of Brieze rocking her like a baby crib and her mouth going nnmya nnmya──Myuu. Even though she was a child of seaman race, the way she was going *roll roll nyan* was like an adorable kitten.

I gotta pat her head if it’s like this isn’t it! Carefully so she won’t wake up, Yue-san’s superb technique shall give her the supreme patting!

「Myu~♪」

「……Nfuh」

Dammit. I unconsciously leaked out a strange voice. For her to rub her squishy soft cheeks on my thigh like this, what an advanced technique……this girl, you ain’t half bad.

「Yue-san, your face is looking slovenly you know?」

「That art truly a loose and entranced expression. Thy look a bit like a dangerous character there.」

「-!?」

For me to be treated like an abnormal person by the actual pervert, it was the greatest shame of my lifetime. While thinking like that, I also wondered if by some chance I was also making Hajime creeped out right now? I hurriedly turned my gaze toward the driver seat. There,

「Precious. How very precious. Tee tee」 (TN: A Japanese slang. Precious in Japanese is ‘toutoui’, in slang they read it as ‘teetee’)

Sometimes this came out, unique Hajime words. What’s precious? Then what in the world ‘tee tee’ meant……

I don’t really get it but, for some reason Hajime’s expression right now is really gentle, as though he is being greatly healed, so let’s not say anything.

My gaze returned to my lap once more. Myuu’s peaceful sleeping face made a relieved feeling and a strong desire to protect welled up inside.

The series of incidents that happened were too cruel for a child this young to experience.

She was separated from her mother and crossed the desert. There was a possibility of her losing her life if she was unlucky just form that. After that she was locked inside an underground prison before she got treated like a good for selling in an auction with other objects……

It must be very painful. She must feel scared. How much feeling of hopelessness had she tasted?

I truly felt happy from the bottom of my heart that Hajime and Shia found her.

At the same time, I also couldn’t stop myself from feeling admiration to this child.

She is a child of seaman race that was protected by the country. She undoubtedly never knew any conflict and never even got exposed to malice in her birthplace on the sea that was an isolated world unto itself.

And yet this child had never given up even when she was thrown into a place that was like the condensation of malice.

Who in the world could imagine it? A girl who was only four years old who had only ever known about the sea that was her birthplace would attempt to escape even if she had to leap into sewer water for it.

In addition, even though it wouldn’t be strange for her to fall into distrust toward human after what she had gone through, she was still able to believe two people who she met for the first time and formed a bond with them.

What a brave child she is.

What a child with straightforward heart she is.

The glimpse of unbending and unyielding nature that I saw in this child was somewhat similar to Hajime in some respect.

Perhaps that’s why.

Even though her appearance is clearly of a different race and the time spent interacting with each other was too short to raise a bond of parent and daughter, the two of them mysteriously looked like a father and daughter, as though they are truly parent and child.

This meeting too, might be like my meeting with Hajime, perhaps, no, surely──this is fate without a doubt.

Because, after meeting Myuu and getting looked up at as a papa, there was also a change in Hajime.

It felt like his heart was getting softer. But, he wasn’t turning weak by any means.

A sword that only had its toughness going for it obtained the objective of protecting, it became even more polished and sharpened, incorporated resilience and flexibility that made it even harder to break, and it became freely able to use slash and strike and also parry. That’s how it felt.

And above all else, the smiling face is great. The humanity had increased in the smile that Hajime would suddenly sported sometimes that it would make me get taken aback every time.

There is no doubt that Myuu need Hajime, and Hajime too also need Myuu. Surely.

The only thing that is regretful is──how I can’t get her to call me mama.

Why? Why is it-, Myuu! Certainly, for Myuu your mama is the only mama for you. That’s fine. But you see. Yue-san you see, thinks that it’s fine even if you have one more mama! Yue-san thinks that having two mamas is a big profit instead!

「No, Yue-san, this isn’t anything like a special discount at shop desu.」

「Or rather, the voice of thy heart art completely leaking out there. Thy hath woken up Myuu like that.」

「……What, did you say?」

I lowered my gaze in a hurry. Wide open eyes were there. The eyes of Myuu that are looking at me while she is still lying down. She looked really awkward. Her eyebrows are knitted and she has an extremely troubled atmosphere.

「……Myuu.」

「Y-yes nano.」

「……No need to be considerate. Yue-san is already satisfied being an Onee-chan, really really satisfied.」

No, even if you try to cover it up now……there is no doubt that she is thinking like that. Because, Myuu’s eyes are really wandering around. She fidgeted as though she can’t bear it to stay where she is. This moment of awkwardness is definitely ranked within the best three of her life. I want to bury myself if there is an abyss nearby……then Myuu suddenly got up.

And then she showed a thinking gesture for a bit and muttered 「If it’s mama at this kind of time……yep, surely, she will do this」 with a nod. Right after that, she made a gentle and soft smile.

It’s a smile that is filled with kindness and even love that even startled me……

「Yue-oneechan, thank you nano.」

Myuu sat on her knees while saying that, then she suddenly hugged my head tightly.

「Myuu love Yue-oneechan. Yue-oneechan is strong, cool, really pretty, kind……」

「……M-Myuu?」

What’s this? What in the world is this!

This feeling of relieve as though I’m being hugged by mother! Hafuu, my strength is leaving mee~

「It will be really amazing to have a mama like Yue-oneechan nano. But, Myuu already has a mama. Myuu’s mama is only one, and Myuu doesn’t have any big sister so……」

「……Nn~. Yue-san will be a big sister. I’m Myuu’s Onee-chan.」

「Thank you nano, Yue-oneechan.」

Aa~, Myuu is patting my headddd~. I’m healed! Onee-chan banzai!

「Y-Yue-san is putty like that on her hand? Myuu-chan, what a terrifying child!」

「I’m feeling motherhood, from Myuu? Furthermore it looks like Yue art regressing to be a little kid!」

「Holy cow. I never imagined that such phenomenon can occur between Myuu and Yue……」

「Goshujin-sama, thy know about this!?」

It felt like my surrounding is getting noisy, but I’m busy having skinship with Myuu so I ignored it.

「Let me explain. In my world, this phenomenon is called feeling babu and go ogyaa.」(TN: An otaku term in Japan, a baby’s speech is often written as ‘babu babu’ or ‘ogya’ there)

「What’s the meaning of that desu!? What kind of state Yue-san and Myuu-chan are in right now desu!?」

「In other words, Myuu’s motherhood and wide heart of acceptance has made Yue feel like she want to be pampered like a baby! Precious! This is just simply too precious! A reverse of position is also Priceless!」

「I hath been thinking this since some time ago, as I thought, Goshujin-sama art broken.」

「W-well. That’s because Hajime-san’s mind can be easily blown away already even at normal time when facing Yue-san. And then that Yue-san suddenly regressed to be a child when she was trying to display her motherhood in full force. Furthermore this time it’s Myuu-chan who Hajime-san is starting to dote on who is radiating motherhood at full force……」

「I see. Certainly, it’s a destructive power that Goshujin-sama wouldst not be able to endure.」

I’m feeling healed enough, so I moved away from Myuu while placing her to sit between my legs once more and hugged her tightly from behind.

The way she leaned on my body very naturally, then the way she looked back across her shoulder and smiled innocently nihee~ at me, although I was gradually accepting the position as an Onee-chan, as I thought my motherhood is still getting tickled.

Seeing that I’m unable to become Myuu’s mama, it makes me want to have a baby once more.

Our journey is still continuing. I can’t attack Hajime──I mean, I can’t carry out the happy family plan right now. Even I am able to make that distinction at the very least.

Even so, it will be no good for me to trouble Myuu even more than this……

……Fumu, Feeling baby and go ogya, is it?

「……Hajime. Want to go ogya?」

“!?” flew out above Hajime’s head. Brieze also ran out of the road and zigzagged uncontrollably.

Scream rose inside the car. I protected everyone with gravity magic while looking at Hajime who was insisting 「You mean baby play!? I don’t have that kind of hobby!」. In respond I,

「……Nn♪」

I made a smile that is overflowing with motherhood at him.

Brieze is dashing explosively to the random direction as though to display the agitation of the driver.
