“I’d believe you if you said you gave birth to him all by yourself.”

“I didn’t know he’d resemble only me this much either. Though his build definitely takes after the House of Siery.”

“That’s true. Is he really only a month old? I read through countless parenting books before my nephew was born, but I’ve never seen a baby this big anywhere…”

To become an excellent aunt, Jin had collected and read every parenting book that was rumored to be well-written.

But this one looked not 4 weeks old, but well over 4 months.

“…Del, are you really okay? At this size, didn’t you break some bones?”

Jin examined Ordel’s body thoroughly with a worried expression.

“Honestly, every time I look at Iliya, I wonder how I managed to give birth naturally.”

Ordel burst into laughter looking at the baby who could hardly be called small.

They had prepared for surgery to immediately perform a cesarean section if natural birth seemed difficult after attempting it first.

Fortunately, thanks to the Three Sovereign Gods showering their blessings, she managed to give birth naturally, but it still seemed miraculous every time she looked.

“So why did you come after only a month?”

“Well, to let you rest a bit.”

Jin shrugged as if asking what was so obvious about that.

“Originally, when you have a baby, your birth parents should take care of you attentively, so I thought about staying here permanently even before you gave birth. But there’s no way you, of all people, would really leave everything to me and rest comfortably.”

“Hmm.”

“Even while your body should be recovering first, it was obvious you’d want to do everything for me, so I thought I’d just come once your body was fully healed.”

“Not to that extent…”

She thought it wasn’t true, but strangely the rest of her words wouldn’t come out.

Jin, who had been skinny as a rail since childhood from not eating properly.

Because she had fed and taken care of Jin every day until she became healthy, that habit hadn’t changed even as they grew older.

“…You did well.”

In the end, Ordel could only say that.

“Looking at you, it seems your body has recovered completely.”

“You can tell, as expected. When I told Rute about Korea’s postpartum care, he really didn’t let me move for 2 weeks. Rute and the wet nurse did everything – feeding the baby milk and bathing him.”

“A husband should naturally do that much.”

Jin clicked her tongue.

If he hadn’t done that, she was ready to go and pluck out every hair on that guy’s head.

Well, there’s no way that guy who treasures Ordel most in the world would have done that.

No matter how much she disliked Rute, she acknowledged what deserved acknowledgment.

“Holy Maiden. I’ve brought the young master’s milk.”

Just then Monica came in carrying a baby bottle.

Monica bowed to Jin, handed over just the bottle, and left the bedroom.

“Rute said he’d do it today too, but when I said you were coming, I told him to leave it to me and go rest. For a month he was busy taking care of me, looking after the baby, and working too.”

Knowing how hard it is to raise a newborn, Jin didn’t scold her this time for resting over such a thing.

When raising a baby, you should rest as much as possible when you can.

“Here, so you try feeding him milk.”

However, the next moment when Ordel placed the baby in her arms, Jin panicked greatly.

“W-wait. You want me to do it?”

“Yes! It’s okay. Iliya is very gentle and rarely cries.”

“Th-that’s not the issue…”

Jin broke out in a cold sweat as she looked at Iliya worriedly.

He was certainly gentle – even though the awkward position must be uncomfortable, the baby wasn’t crying but staring intently at Jin.

She felt unexpectedly emotional at those beautiful golden eyes that looked exactly like Ordel’s.

“There’s nothing to find difficult, Jin. He’s your one and only nephew. You’ll be feeding him milk often from now on, giving him baby food, and regular meals too.”

“…”

“Jin, you’re the only family I can entrust the child to with complete peace of mind after Rute. You know that, right?”

“…I know, so stop putting pressure on me.”

At Ordel’s words, Jin glared at her only family with slightly reddened eyes.

‘No, it’s not just one anymore.’

Jin adjusted her uncomfortable position and held the baby properly.

It was still awkward, but it wasn’t bad for her first time ever holding a baby.

When she lived at the orphanage, she had often watched Cha Siwon hold the babies who newly entered the orphanage.

Jin had never held a baby even once, but thanks to being familiar with it and having read dozens of parenting books, she could manage the position somewhat.

Ordel also seemed less unfamiliar with raising a baby thanks to that experience.

“Give it here.”

Jin took the bottle from Ordel and put it to the baby’s mouth.

The baby who had been smiling brightly at Jin started drinking eagerly as soon as the milk entered his mouth.

Jin was flustered by how quickly the milk was disappearing.

“D-does he normally eat this fast?”

He wasn’t spilling any, so the baby was drinking it all…

Was it normal for it to disappear this quickly?

“Surprisingly, that’s normal… I was very surprised at first too.”

“In a little while he’ll eat more than me.”

Jin wasn’t a big eater.

Even when Cha Siwon, who was close to being a big eater, diligently fed her back in Korea, her appetite never changed throughout her life.

It was worrying how an adult could possibly live on eating just that little.

It was the same after coming to this world together.

“…Still, I eat a bit more than before now. Because it’s annoying to listen to the High Priestess and Rohash nagging.”

Nashas, the High Priestess of the Temple of the Annihilation God, and Rohash, her successor.

Ordel smiled brightly at the news that both of them still took good care of Jin.

Since Jin tended to run away to the Sun God’s Main Temple every time to avoid nagging, it had already been over 2 years since Ordel had been to the Temple of the Annihilation God.

Soon she should leave Iliya with Rute and visit the Temple of the Annihilation God alone at least once.

She was also worried about Nashas’s health.

“…I still can’t feel much interest in eating. But I think this is the first time I’ve felt proud watching someone else eat.”

During their brief conversation, the milk had already decreased by more than half.

The amount aside, she wondered if it was okay to drink this fast, but if he took after Ordel and Rute, he’d be healthy, so she put aside her worries.

“How pretty, my nephew.”

Ordel looked fondly at Jin who was murmuring.

She had watched her for a very long time, but even Ordel hadn’t often seen such a comfortably relaxed expression.

The child’s existence had brought great happiness to Rute and Ordel too, but it seemed to have given Jin another kind of joy as well, which was fortunate.

“He’s finished. Really fast…”

Jin put down the empty bottle and tried to hand the child back to Ordel.

However, Ordel shook her head.

“You need to burp him too.”

“You’re really putting me to good use.”

“Nice, right?”

“…”

Jin, whose lips had been relaxed in a smile, hurriedly composed her expression at Ordel’s mischievous question.

Rute wasn’t here either, so there was no need to manage her expression.

She was quite shy after all.

Jin held the baby and started patting his back.

“You can do it a bit harder. Your hand strength is lighter than a feather, so he won’t be able to digest properly.”

“He’s not… small, but still looks so delicate.”

“It’s okay. The Sun God has already chosen him as the next Holy Sage, so he won’t get hurt from that much.”

“…Right, that happened too. That Sun God…”

Jin clamped her mouth shut with a murderous expression.

If it weren’t in front of the baby, all sorts of colorful curses would have poured out.

“Oh.”

Just then the baby wiggled his arms and soon wrapped them around Jin’s neck.

Jin flinched and stiffened at the unexpectedly strong grip from the baby.

Ordel let out an exclamation of admiration.

“My goodness, even though she has a gentle personality, she’s quite picky about physical contact and doesn’t let anyone hold her well except for me or Rute. She must recognize her aunt.”

Jin’s eyes welled up with tears at the soft, tender sensation touching her neck.
