Chapter 184.1. Getting Ready To Go Out

-Miu's POV-

"Hornbear Cow, Hornbear Cow..."

Finally, the day had come for Takano Miu to meet the Hornbear Cow, and she was excited, her breath heavy with anticipation. 

The petite girl with gray hair and ice-blue eyes expressed joy through the Mii-chan Dance, jumping and spinning on the carpet, performing a somersault. With a beaming smile, she swayed her hands and danced. 

Such cuteness would drive the gentlemen crazy, making them get a good camera before taking pictures.

In the living room of the Takano family's home, after dinner, I was excited about the upcoming excursion, the Hornbear Cow hunt.

"Hornbear Cow, Hornbear Cow..."

"Homubenyau- Homubenyau..."

"Homubenyau- Homubenyau..."

Children with adorable, imperfect voices mimicked Mii-chan's dance. 

They were Mii-chan's younger brother and sister. Stretching their hands from the baby crib, they waved them back and forth.

Upon hearing their voices, Mi-chan turned her head toward her parents.

"I talked to Sora and Mai!"

"Yes, it seems like they're almost able to crawl..."

"I'm relieved she's healthy. Honestly, Mii-chan, please be careful. I thought my heart would stop! I was surprised every time you used the Substitution Talisman during breastfeeding." 

Mama used Matsu's family's special and inexpensive Substitution  Talisman because the babies have teeth.

"Yes. I won't use abnormal status recovery magic on the baby anymore!"

Mii-chan apologized to her seated parents on the sofa with a serious expression. She genuinely felt sorry.

"Mii-neetan, Mii-neetan!"

"It's Mii-neetan! What's up?"

Responding to Mai's call, Mii-chan approached and asked with a smile. What could her beloved sister want?

"Kyakya. Mii-neetan!"

It seemed like she called her. Mii-chan couldn't help but be charmed by her smile. She promised herself never to do anything that would cloud that smile.

"Mii-nee, Mii-nee!"

"It's Mii-nee. What's up, Sora?"

"Kyaa, it's Mi-nee!"

He was calling her. Sora waved his tiny hands happily.

"Kyaa, it's Mii-neechan!"

Overjoyed, Sora rolled around on the carpet. There was no doubt an angel had descended. If God had come to reclaim something. She would wish for them to stay.

"Ah... When I see Mii-chan like this, she's an ordinary, adorable girl..."

I rolled excitedly on the soft carpet, and my papa's face turned troubled. What could be troubling my papa?

"What's wrong, papa? Did an enemy appear?"

"Yeah, Miu-chan, maybe we should stop categorizing people as enemies or allies?"

"Yeah! Let's repaint the gray as white!"

"Well, I'm not so sure about that... Anyway, we're facing a troublesome situation."

While cheerfully suggesting that it's fine to include those on the fence as allies, it seemed papa was dealing with a different kind of trouble. What could it be? Could I help?

"What's the problem?"

Worried, mama, sitting next to papa, asked. Papa, wearing a melancholic expression, opened his mouth.

"Well, you see... We've been receiving requests from expectant mothers who are about to give birth, asking if Mii-chan could use recovery magic on them."

"Well! ...It's true that we can find reassurance in skipping the most unstable period."

Mama chuckled, but papa shook his head and denied it.

"No, rumors are spreading that babies who have received Mii-chan's healing magic will become talented and excellent wizards."

"Ah... So that's it."

Mama replied with a wry smile. I also understood.

Sora and Mai already showed signs of being powerful magicians and had started speaking. It was highly likely that they were not only talented in magic but in other areas as well. Or, it was natural for the angelic twins to possess such talents.

However, those talents were inherent to Sora and Mai. It had nothing to do with recovery magic. That's what Mii-chan wanted to believe. That's what she believed.

"Sora and Mai have their inherent talents! That's why, Papa!"

"Yes, I think so too. Besides, if the babies don't have their mana awakened after receiving recovery magic, Mii-chan could get blamed by their parents."

I have a close-knit family. We believe in the potential of our family members. Sure, they might be growing faster, but just a bit. I'm immersed in escapism. Mii-chan doesn't understand.

"I don't plan to accept any requests from anyone now. So you can rest assured, Mii-chan."

As expected of Papa. He would firmly refuse.

"There are no pregnant women above the rank of Marquis either."

As expected of Papa. He has already investigated the noble relationships.

"Well, in any case, they will keep coming up with different ways to request your help, so be careful not to give an easy 'okay,' Mii-chan. Alright?"

"Yes! I understand!"

"Be careful not to find loopholes in their requests."

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's hunt!"

Now, should I check the contents of my backpack? Let's see. It's filled with snacks, snacks, and more snacks.

"Lately, I've been starting to understand Mii-chan's way. I told her not to get too excited during the party, but she still went for the chocolate fondue, right?"

"I thought she would drown in the chocolate fondue! She slipped when she tried to pour the chocolate into a cup!"

"That's a dish where you dip various things in chocolate. Honestly, I can't take my eyes off Mii-chan."

Although he said his daughter was hopeless. Papa loved her and gently stroked her head, so Mii-chan adored him.

"That's right, Mii-chan is our beloved daughter."

Mama also stroked her head, making Mii-chan very happy. Is today Mii-chan's birthday?

"They get along so well. It's wonderful."

Nimue elegantly placed the tray with coffee on the table. Mii-chan had hot cocoa.

The pleasant aroma of coffee filled the room. I wonder if they'll give me some snacks?

"Nimue-san, what about the snacks?"

"It's not good, Master. Haven't you already had dinner?"

Nimue made a sensible remark, and Ranko-san, who was standing against the wall, nodded in approval.
