Chapter 17.1
Since mothers condition of having the life of our new family member inside her belly came to light, 4 months had passed. But unfortunately, when her pregnancy enters the 7th month, mother suddenly collapses while doing chores in the house and is now hospitalized at the local medical facility.
Im sorry to make you worry, Hiroto. Ricardo, dont worry too much about me and go to work okay. I have the midwife helping me here so there should be no problem you know
Nope For today, let me accompany you. Hiroto, daddy will be here helping your mother so you can go out to play you know. Riona-chan and your other friend will be feeling lonely without you wont they?
No, I want to be with mother
Usually, I would mostly spend all day outside home but fortunately, when mother collapses, I was at home when the accident happened so nothing serious happened to my mother and her pregnancy. Mother was completely passed out at that time so she shouldnt realize that it was I who carry her all the way here. No normal kid could carry a pregnant woman safely like how I do after all.

When we asked the healer at the medical facility about her examination result, he is looking at us with a smile but, that smile is somewhat spiritless, not like his usual cheerful smile from the bottom of his heart.
( Im worried about mother. But of course father is also the same)
Mother Remilia occasionally would get sick with the cold from time to time but she would always only says [Im alright] to me every time I ask her. Father seems to understand how mother feels, she just dont want to make me feel worried so she wont say anything.
---- The fact that my current body is still that of a child is making me vexed. And I am not allowed to say that vexed feeling out loud so all I can do is only holding my mothers hand tightly.
Thank you you are such a good kid. Did you inherit that from your daddy maybe?
No, he is similar to you Remilia. Just look at Hiroto now, even at this age, he is already a lot more composed than me
Huhu thats seems to be true. If Hiroto becomes an older brother he definitely will becomes more dependable right? Well, Ricardo darling is also dependable
Hahaha am I just an extra? Well, in front of Hiroto almost every adult would lose their face in term of maturity
Father is laughing while patting my head. But the way his hand pats me is somewhat losing his the cheerfulness he usually have.
His hand is slightly trembling. I also strongly think that even if I am still a kid, I have to help support my father too.
When mother falls asleep, I told father that I will go out to play for a bit then go out to roam the town.
My destination is grandpa Bardiss workshop. He is the blacksmith that I know since I was two years old. At first, he made me a toy-like small ax for me as I was still 2 years old at that time. He gave me that ax two years ago as a present for me who are the son of a lumberjack. At first it was very toy like but now the size had increased so it become just as big as one handed ax now. I ask him to make me an ax for battle purposes with the pretense that I want to try study about hunting from Monica-san.
But when I ask grandpa Bardis to do maintenance for my ax, he noticed that the ax that I use doesnt have any sign of neither had been used to cut wood nor to hunt, but it had sign of wear from being in a fight with monsters instead. Because I already tell the truth to my father, I also tell the truth about my situation to him and from then on, I have asked him to give my ax a seriously upgrade for its fighting power.
