Chapter 3
“Oh..”
It’s an unexpected question.
A question that I didn’t care about at all, because I was surprised by the strange baby that had suddenly appeared.
“What? You didn’t check that?”
In front of Felix, who made a ridiculous expression, I felt like I was worse than a worm and fumbled through my memory.
“No, I checked. I did. There was no other sign. There was no one of someone who came or leaving.”
It was a lie, but it was also true that there was no trace.
It was the exact same place except that there was a little kid in my room.
The living room and bathroom were all the same.
But my lie was soon discovered.
“Did you really check it out? What about Alice’s room? Was there no signs there too?”
Ugh.
I didn’t look at Alice’s room.
Felix, who was watching my expression, nodded with a look saying [ Of course, I knew it.]
I asked carefully, looking at his face.
“Should we go and check it out now?””
“It’s okay. There won’t be anything wrong even if I check it out.”
Felix stood up shaking his head.
“Who might have brought that baby to your room..”
“Call him kid. Not a baby. Kid.”
“Yeah. Even if someone brought that kid into your room.....What.. what’s the difference between a baby and a kid?”
As he approached me before I knew it, he shouted as if protesting
It might looks like a kid and a baby are same, but I have a big reason.
“If you call him baby, it looks like you are referring him as my real baby.”
“What if I say Kid?”
“When you say a kid, it might sound like a younger brother living in a neighbor’s house.
“Even if I call him a kid, it will look referring him like your kid.”
“What ....I don’t think you know how I feel about this.”
I screamed and grabbed the kid’s waist with both hands and lifted him up.
“Let’s see.. If you think about it like that, you both have same eye color, then shall I say that he seems like your baby.”
“Look, look. Little boy’s eyes are the same blue as yours. In my entire lifetime, the only person I saw having a blue eye is you and now this baby.”
I turned towards the kid and spoke to him as if provoking Felix
“Hey kid. Don’t you remember.Isn’t that bad-tempered guy over there your dad?”
“Dadabababbuu!”
The little boy laughed, putting both fingers in his mouth.
There were saliva bubbles hanging around the mouth.
Felix, who was watching us quietly, lightly swept his messy hair.
“So.. How did it feel.?”
“Okay, let’s not argue about that.”
“ Anyway, if someone took the kid to your room and hid in Alice’s room, there should be traces in the living room or your room, but seeing that there wasn’t, it means that he was alone.”
“ Did you have any clue or note on his body?”
“I think.... There was nothing like that.”
“Give me the ba..kid.”
I handed over the kid to him with his arms stretched out.
Even as he was moving away from me, the little boy looked at me and munched his fingers.
He looked very easygoing.
However, the little boy’s attitude changed as soon Felix took him.
“Βαααααααααααααααααbabababααααbuuuuuuuuuu!”
He began to scream and struggle as if he hated Felix.
Felix quickly held him in his arms, but the child struggled desperately.
It looked precarious as if he would fall to the floor at any moment.
“Little boy. Little boy.. Look here.!”
Upon hearing my urgent cry, the child turned his head and looked at me.
“Maamamu!
The little boy urgently extended his arm to me.
In the meantime, tears dripped down from the little boy’s
eyes.
It looked like he struggling to come over to me.
Felix also felt it, and hurriedly handed him over to me.
I was not sure how to hug the wriggling kid.
Felix hurriedly said to me, who was hesitating without receiving the kid.
“One hand supports under the buttocks and the other hand lightly wraps around the back and neck.”
I followed his words and hugged the crying child.
As soon as he came into my arms, the little boy quickly stopped crying
“Mauuuuuu”.
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
As if he understood my question, the little boy murmured as if answering with his mouth on my shoulder.
“Babbbbuuuu”
“Oh, I’ll be covered with saliva.”
However, it was not known why he cried suddenly and why he suddenly stopped crying.
“Are you sick?”
After the kid calmed down a little, I slightly removed his face from my shoulder and looked at him.
His face was a mess.
His cheeks were covered with tears, a runny nose flowed out of his nose, and saliva flowed out of the mouth.
“Hah...”
But he didn’t look sick anywhere.
“Felix, he doesn’t look sick?”
“Yes, He look fine.”
“Then take him back.”
It was the time I tried to hand him over to Felix again.
The little boy’s face was distorted once again.
“Baaaaaaaaaaaaaabaabuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The way he struggled and reached out to me seemed like he was shouting with his whole body asking not to send him to Felix.
Looking at it, I was strangely overwhelmed and held the child back in my arms.
“Kid, What’s wrong.?””
Are all babies like this
“Why? You were doing well when you were with me.”
He didn’t cry when he first came to my room, but now why?
After thinking seriously about the child’s strange attitude for a while, I inadvertently looked up at Felix’s face and got an answer.
“Of course it’s the face.”
Sharp jawline and sharp eyes. Lips that are closed as if they are dissatisfied with everything.
Blue eyes and gray hair that gives the impression that already looks cold colder.
It can deceive the adolescence girl’s, but not the pure hearted babies.
“I see.. I see...Now everything falls in its place.“
So the little boy cried seeing the evil faced Felix.
I looked up at Felix and said
“Smile a little bit. The kid is scared.”
As soon as Felix heard the order disguised as a favor, he raised his eyebrows.
The little boy, who was glancing at him,
“Mauuuuuu!”
Dug into my arms.
“See? He’s scared of you.”
No matter how much I think about it, this is the normal reaction.
I really can’t understand why girls like such a cold and bad boy.
A sweet and warm man like Professor Deros would be much better.
“Stop talking nonsense and show me the kid.”
“He’ll cry”.
“Show me the little boy while you’re holding him.”
“Okay, kid. Don’t be afraid of the scary-looking guy. I’ve got your back. Don’t worry”
Igently rubbed the kid’s back and turned him around.
The child’s body, which was forced to face Felix, was tense, but he did not cry.
Felix looked at the kid for a while, went to the room, and brought out a clean handkerchief.
“What are you going to do with that?”
“We need to find out some basic info about him.”
He responded bluntly and wrapped his index finger with the handkerchief.
Then, he carefully placed his index finger into the little boy’s mouth.
“Auquaddauu!”
“Good boy. Good boy. Stay still for a second.”
While I patted his back, Felix looked into his mouth.
While the child bit his finger tightly as if an unpleasant foreign thing has entered his mouth.
The way he was biting Felix fingers, felt like he was saying [Damn it, why doesn’t it hurt him.]
By the way what is Felix doing?
I observed Felix’s behavior, while hugging the baby’s chubby belly tightly so that the kid wouldn’t move.
Taking out his wet fingers, he lifted up the child’s clothes this time and looked at his arms, legs, and belly.
“Dadabuuu”
The little boy laughed, perhaps because the touch was itchy.
Felix, who finished observing, stood up and put a wet handkerchief on the table.
“Two lower teeth and two upper teeth.”
“What does it mean?”
“Means that the kid is about 9 to 10 months old.”
Oh, my. How did he know that?
I glanced up at him, blinking at the knowledge that simply could not be explained by the word General knowledge.
“How do you know that?”
“I have seen it in my siblings.”
“Are you talking about Lindsey and Tony?”**
“Yeah.”
Lindsey and Tony are twins with a huge age gap with Felix.
I’ve seen them quite a few times.
Lindsey was a cute little girl, who used come running to me calling “Sister” with poor pronunciation, and Tony was cute boy, who always followed Felix wherever he goes.
They were born when we were 13, so they are probably five now.
No wonder he knew how to hug a child.
I saw Felix nodding lightly and saying nothing more.
He then went and started cleaning up the kettle and cup.
Of course, using magic.
“Other than that? Anything else?”
” Nothing else. He’s just a normal baby. The clothes he’s wearing are just simple indoor clothes, so I don’t know where he’s from, and the only thing I realized was, the parents doesn’t love this kid.”
“Why?”
“Why else?”
He replied in a way as if saying, it was an insignificant question and said while pointing out to the little boy.
“A kid wearing thin indoor clothes. Even if they wanted to leave him in the indoor. Leaving him in that kind of attire, in this season, tells that they didn’t care about this Child.”
While listening to him, the hypothesis that I had thought of earlier passed by in my head.
I should have just kept it in my head, but my mouth opened involuntarily.
t’s summer there
“Isn’t he from the continent of Genoa?” T right now.”
Why......Why did I say that.
