Please Take Care of the Baby! - Chapter 4

Felix shook his head firmly even before my words were finished.

I’m glad he didn’t say anything.

But that happiness didn’t last long.

He looked at me with a ridiculous expression and opened his mouth.

“Is the thing inside your head just for decoration?”

“What? Hey!”

“Muuuuuuuuuu.

The little boy flinched at my sudden shout. I stroked his head feeling sorry.

“Say something that makes sense. It’s a common knowledge that you need to use several magic portals to come from Genova to here. Are you saying that a kid passed through all these magic portals by himself.”

“Then someone might have sent him using magic.”

“There’s no possibility of that. I don’t know about Castor Grossviner, but there’s no wizard in our time who can use magic to sent someone this far.”

Castor Grossviner is a great wizard who lived more than 300 years ago, and is said to have been a genius, born once in thousand years.

If Felix first used magic at the age of three, Castor Grossviner is said to have used magic naturally like breathing even before he was a year old.

Of course, no one has actually seen it, so we don’t know if it’s true or not.

One thing was certain – he was a great wizard.

It is said that the hundreds of magic formulas he created were tremendously groundbreaking at the time, and the history of the wizards changed after his arrival.

In addition, no objection has been ever made to the theory or hypothesis he claimed.

More importantly, Castor Grossviner is Felix’s idol.

“Then, where do you think he come from?”

“I don’t know that. However, considering the distance of movement magic, I think its highly probable that he came from within the County. You put on the clothes. Let’s go outside and check”

“Can we solve this problem ourselves?”

Felix sighed lightly at my question, and after hesitating for a while he replied.

“I don’t know.”

He looked really frustrated.

“But there’s nothing we can do about it. There is no one in the academy to help because it is a holiday. Besides professor Deros isn’t here.”

Professor Deros was the most respected wizard in the academy, who specialized in space movement magic.

“Okay.”

I nodded my head with mixed feelings.

Then, I put the little boy on the sofa again.

I laid him down and picked up the blanket.

As soon as I saw his bright eyes, I felt guilty for trying to cover him with a blanket.

I felt it.

“It must be frustrating.”

The boy’s dormitory was close from my room, so I could wrap the little boy’s body with a blanket and come here.

Of course, I was very sorry about doing that.

However, it takes 10 minutes even by carriage from the main gate to the Main Street, which is the center of the county.

How can I keep the little boy within the blanket for more than 30 minutes.

“Wait a minute.”

While I was worried about the little boy, Felix’s voice was heard.

Felix, who was looking at us, entered the small room after asking us to wait.

While I was worried, the little boy tried to flip over from the sofa.

“Good boy. Stay still and lie down. Don’t move.”

I took hold of the little boys leg, so that he couldn’t move.

But he didn’t listen to what I was saying, he just thought that I was playing with him?

With both legs held by me, the little boy clapped his hands and laughed.

It looked pretty cute, so I tickled on the back side of his foot.

“Bububuuuuuuubuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

The little boy twisted his body and laughed, while clapping his both hands.

The laughter heard seemed quite pleasant.

For some reason, I was obsessed with a strange urge to tease him more.

When I tried to put my fingertips on the back of his feet once again, something fell over my side.

“What are you doing?”

Felix, who had changed his clothes neatly, threw the something towards me.

I stared blankly at the thing which was in a bag and asked.

“What’s this?”

“Dress. It’s probably big because I bought it for Tony’s birthday, but it’s still better than the blanket. Hurry up and put it.

I carefully opened and looked at the finely covered clothes that Felix threw.

It must have been a carefully prepared gift, considering that there is a fluffy coat inside, thick tops and pants that can be worn inside, as well as socks and gloves.

A birthday present for the five-year-old.

So it made me worry a little bit.

“It’s Tony’s present. Can I really dress him in that?”

“There is some time left until his birthday. I was going to give it to him on this holiday. I can buy something better for him at the Main Street later..”

“Then I’ll help you buy Lindsey’s present.”

“I already bought Lindsey’s, so don’t worry about it.”

“Okay.”

Felix’s expression when he glanced at me was no different than usual.

Is it really okay?

I contemplated for a while, but decided not to think about

it.

I quickly began to dress up the little boy.

“Babababuuuuuuu!”

I thought that the child would struggle when I try to undress him, but he didn’t refuse my touch.

So I quickly undressed his lighter clothes, and dressed him up in comfy, but a bit bulgy outfit.

After many twists and turns, after putting on a coat, the child looked warm.

Although he looked uncomfortable because it didn’t fit in his size.

But it was better than rolling him in a blanket.

“Shall we go now, kid?”

Felix grabbed my arm as I was about to take the kid.

“Hang on.”

“Why?”

“Wait a minute.”

“What?”

Felix let go of my arm and quickly went into the room.

In the meantime, I put the restless little boy on the floor.

Having difficulty moving his body, the child crawled on the carpet and lay like a boat on it.

“Haaah.”

“If we go out to the main, we should buy some clothes first.”

Felix probably took the money, right?

Or should I go to my room?

While thinking about it, Felix came out of the room.

He had a thick coat on his arm.

He is already wearing a coat, then why is he bringing another one.

He came with quick steps and held out the black coat to me.

“Wear this.”

“Me?”

“Are you planning on going out in that outfit? In this weather?”

Oh, I forgot once again.

Theard that raising a child would be so hectic that you would have no time to think about yourself.

But never thought, it would be exactly like what they said.

I smiled awkwardly at Felix.

“If it’s clothes, I can go to my room and……”

“We don’t have time. Just wear this.”

What time? It’s only around 8 am.

Before I could say anything, Felix placed the coat on my shoulder

It was ambiguous to saying not to refuse anymore.

So I put my arm in the sleeves of the coat.

His coat, was a little bigger than mine, so it felt bulgy.

The sleeves covered up to the back of the hand and the hem of the coat reached my legs.

I could understand the feeling of the little kid wearing clothes of a five-year-old child.

“I think you should take the little ba….Ahm…Kid. Because I can’t take him even if I want to.”

“It’s okay. My arm will hurt a bit, so once we reach Main Street, we should buy the cloth thing that’s used to hold the babies.”

“ Okay.”

“Then, shall we go, kid?”

“Dadabuuuuuu.”

Thugged the little boy’s stomach, then raised his head which was lying face down on the carpet.

Somehow, I had a ridiculous thought….

The Maxmas holidays, which was always full of sad memories, felt a little bit special this year.

Before I could enjoy that thought for a little longer, I remembered a troublesome thing.

“What if we get caught by academy people while going to the…..?”

Before I could finish the question, it was solved by the Genius wizard Felix.

He casted an invisibility magic on me and the baby.

Even if I knew about it, I could have never been able to do it, like the way he did.

Even though it was difficult to cast invisibility magic on one person, he casted it on two – both me and the baby.

“Hahah… It’s really handy to have a genius wizard as a childhood friend…right?”

Felix shrugged and gave me a piece of advice as if it was not a big deal to him.

“Invisibility magic and mute magic were hard to maintain at the same time, so I couldn’t caste the mute magic”.

“I see. Then If we make a sound, people might feel something strange, so we need to be careful until we reach the main gate…. Especially you, little boy.”

When I pointed my fingers to the little boy, he caught my hand and shouted.

“Dadabuuuuuu”

“No…..No Dadabu or bababu until we reach the main gate.”

Even though I believed my friend, I was a little skeptical about the invisibility magic, since it was the first time it was casted on me.

But my suspicion quickly disappeared.

When I went out I ran into some people going to the cafeteria for breakfast, but they didn’t give us a glance.

I really became an invisible.

Even though I am also a student stying magic in the academy, this is something I would have never experienced with my ability alone.

I felt a bit happy and sad at the same time.

Anyway, thanks to that, we were able to safely exit the main gate and head to the Main Street.

WEDD

The inside of the security guard building ahead of the Maxmas holidays was already crowded with people.

From drunk people screaming, “What a scam!” to those who were caught fighting.

“Bububuuuuuuuuuuu.

The little boy buried his head in my arms.

Perhaps he was unfamiliar with the chaotic atmosphere like this.

“Yeah, it’s not a good sight for babies to see.”

However, I came all the way here, and I couldn’t just go back.

I covered his head with the blanket and went inside so that the kid wouldn’t hear any noise as much as possible.

It was very short, but as soon as I entered the security building, it became dead quiet.

I smiled awkwardly looking at the eyes of people and approached the softest-looking guard among the hardboiled looking security guard.

“What’s wrong young lady.?”

“Well…..Did you get any report about a baby suddenly disappearing, kidnapped, or flew away yesterday or today?”

The softest-looking guards expression, began to distort at my question.
