Please Take Care of the Baby! - Chapter 15

It was dark everywhere.

When I came to my senses, I was alone with the little boy in a dark and humid place.

“Where am I?”

I definitely ate dinner, put the kid to sleep, and slept earlier than usual next to him.

I don’t have any memories after that.

Anxiety struck me.

I swallowed my dry saliva.

The little boy also rubbed his face against my chest, babbling as if he was anxious.

“Is there anyone?”

No answer was heard.

“Felix?”

I couldn’t hear Felix’s voice, who was sitting on the sofa looking at the magic book until I fell asleep.

My heart fluttered when I noticed that Felix, whom I had been relying on for days was not here.

‘Where is this place?’

‘Did someone kidnap me or something?’

‘No, then Felix couldn’t have left it alone.’

I took my step slowly since I thought I had to get out of this gloomy place.

However, no matter how much I walked and walked, I couldn’t see people.

I doubted whether there was really an end to this space or a way out.

It was around the time when my legs and arms that held the kid began to hurt.

I heard flapping sound of a bird from somewhere.

I heard a series of painful cries.

I swallowed my saliva and walked towards the sound.

I didn’t have a good feeling, but that was the only clue to get out of here.

Soon after, I saw a large eagle wearing a crown.

A snake with a thick body was attached to one wing of the eagle, which couldn’t fly away and kept screaming and flapping with only one wing.

I could quickly see that the snake is

“Anguis…”

The evil snake mercilessly bit the wing of the eagle.

The pointed fangs were stuck in the wings, and red blood dripped down.

The eagle struggled harder as if it was in huge pain and screamed louder.

Then, his wings slowed down little by little, and eventually collapsed helplessly on the floor covered with blood.

The golden crown, which shone brilliantly on the eagle’s head, rolled on the floor with a loud sound.

“No.”

The snake turned its head to the sigh that I spit out without realizing.

Anguis stared at me with fierce torn yellow eyes and approached me with a long tongue sticking out as if he was clicking his lips.

I know in my head,

‘I have to run away.’

But my feet didn’t move.

The moment I get caught by Anguis, I will also be in the same situation as that eagle lying on the floor.

I got scared and shivered like a mouse driven into the corner by a cat.

As if teasing me, Anguis made a loud noise, opened its big mouth wide, and showed its pointed teeth.

“Elena!”

Just before the snake’s teeth reached me, Felix’s voice, which I thought would not be here, was heard.

Theard urgent footsteps and suddenly Felix stood in front of me.

Anguis’ eyes turned to Felix.

The evil snake turned around and crawled up, winding its body.

“Felix!”

I thought Felix would be able to defeat Anguis very easily, but he didn’t move at all.

There was no blue light from his necklace.

Anguis, who climbed to Felix’s neck without any interference, opened its mouth tightly.

Fiercely pointed teeth sparkled in the faint light.

“No!”

I reached out to Anguis.

Red light leaked from the ring stuck in my ring finger.

But even before I could cast the spell, the poisoned teeth dug into Felix’s neck.

An incomparable amount of blood poured out compared to the eagle.

Felix’s body trembled and collapsed like a fallen leaf.

I had to think about it.

Whether I have to keep holding to the little boy who is relying on me in my arms or to throw him away and hold Felix.

What I chose was the kid.

Felix collapsed on a hot pool of blood while I held the kid dearly and shed tears.

His two eyes, which did not close, lost their vitality and stared blankly into the air.

‘No!’

Cold sweat flowed down from behind.

The sound of my heart was getting louder and louder as if it would pop out any second.

I opened my eyes, and breathed out like a person who had been immersed in water for a long time.

It’s the accommodation.’

I couldn’t see well because it was dark, but it was definitely the accommodation we were staying at.

And I was lying in bed just like before I went to bed.

“It must have been a dream.”

I tried to calm myself.

What happened during the day must have been more shocking than I thought.

That’s why I saw Anguis come out in my dreams like this.

I lied upright for a while and continued to breathe and tried to calm down.

I saw the place where the little boy was laid down when my heartbeat calmed down to some extent.

Nothing will happen, but I was nervous about what happened.

However, the place where the little boy was sleeping was empty.

“Where is the baby?”

Once again, a cold sweat started forming in my back.

Where did the baby go?

No one came into the accommodation…

“Dadabuuuuuu!”

I heard a whining sound from the window.

In front of the window which I looked at in a hurry, there was Felix, who woke up in the middle of sleeping and was holding the baby boy.

“Shh.”

Felix, who was gently shaking and soothing the little boy, muttered quietly in a half-breathy voice in his ear.

“Let’s be quiet and sleep for today.”

“Bapuuuu.”

“If you keep whining, the sister over there will wake

up.”

Felix soothed the little boy’s back, while the little boy kept trying to get out of his arms, gently sweeping up and down.

“She must have been surprised today, so let’s help her sleep well. Okay?”

“Dabu…”

Thanks to his constant efforts, the little boy gently closed his eyes with his chubby cheeks on Felix’s shoulder.

I lay in bed and quietly looked at their backs so as not to disturb the two.

I’ve seen Felix’s back often since I was a kid.

At the age of four or five, he was smaller than me, but after learning basic physical training and swordsmanship, he seemed to be the same height as me, but at some point he grew bigger than me.

Unlike me, who was not tall no matter how much I ate, he seemed to get bigger every day.

From some point on, I felt overwhelmed whenever I saw his back, which became bigger than mine.

Sometimes I was scared when he stood expressionless.

It’s strange, but somehow I felt a little reliable and reassured today when I saw the back that I felt was simply big.

Even though he was still bitter to me and I hated him, I no longer suffered from nightmares when I fell asleep after that.

I couldn’t sleep well for the past few days since the kid woke up and cried several times during the night, but last night, the the little boy didn’t cry, so I was able to sleep well. Obviously, it was possible because Felix took care of the kid from time to time.

The next morning.

Since I slept well without waking up all night, it was normal to wake up with a refreshing mind.

But sadly, I had to start this refreshing and good morning with a bad smell.

“Ugh, little boy.”

Before I opened my eyes, a strange smell first penetrated my nose.

It was nothing new because it was a smell that was familiar for the past four days.

But the problem was that it smelled right next to me.

When I opened my eyes, the little boy was rolling with his head toward my feet and his feet toward my head.

“Mamamuuuuuu!”

When the little boy who made eye contact with me, he jumped with joy, and the dizzying smell got stronger and stronger.

| quickly turned my head from the little boy and looked around the room.

Felix, who was supposed to be sleeping on the sofa in one corner of the room, couldn’t be seen.

“No!”

My eyes went dark.

Apart from the fight yesterday and still being awkward, 1 desperately needed Felix now.

“Little boy, where’s Felix?”

Even if I asked, I knew there would be no answer from the little boy.

He smiled at me and crawled over to my lap.

I was horrified in a completely different sense from when the child suddenly appeared on the first day and crawled up to me.

“Wait, wait ! Don’t come!”

“Mamuu…”

The kid, who approached me, suddenly stood up and sat on my leg.

The kid’s butt was warmer than usual.

Looking at me with sparkling eyes seemed like he was shouting, ‘Change my diapers’

” What should I do.? How can I change your diaper without Felix!”

“Dabuuu”

The kid shook his butt on my leg as if urging me.

Every time he did that, I was shaking because I felt like the kid’s warm product touched my leg directly.

I grabbed the kid’s waist and laid him on the bed first.

Even then, he smiled and showed no sign of crying.

“Isn’t it uncomfortable?”

“Eququuyuuu”

“Ohhh… You want to change it when Felix comes?”

“Bapubuuu”

“Okay….I got it. Let’s wait for Felix”

I interpreted the child’s meaningless babbling as I liked.

If you have any complaints, say it yourself, kid’
