“NOO! Don’t you dare say such a thing!” (Unknown female voice)

“Eliz… you have to accept it! He is... ” (Val)

…….

“Val...not you too” (Eliz)

………

“Leave...leave me and my child alone!” (Eliz)

“LEAVE!!” (Eliz)

In 23 years of knowing Eliz, Val has never seen her like this not even in the toughest battle, she has always been a calm and collected person...until now.

After retiring from being an adventurer Val and his partner Eliz married each other and ever since then Eliz always been a part of the Lionel tribe, the place where Val came from.

At first everyone were against the idea of Eliz joining them not to mention that she was married to the tribe leader’s son.

Many of member of the tribe left because of this reason, since a child between the human and demihuman race brings nothing but misfortune, that is why people call them taboo children.

But after years living together with the tribe, everyone has now accepted her as one of their own.

So when everyone heard that a new life is soon to be born they did everything that they could to help the couple.

It has been 2 days since the baby boy was born, but not a single sign of life can be seen from him everyone was sorry for the loss but the one who suffers the most is Eliz, ever since she gave birth to the baby she hasn't eaten or gotten any sleep.

At night people could hear her talking to the baby continuously to the point where they couldn't sleep, knowing this Val, as the tribe’s leader had to take action but the result was not pretty…

Daichi POV…

“Ouch! My head hurts.”

As I was waking up a flash of memories suddenly hit me, they weren’t mine but yet everything felt so familiar.

“What is this?…The baby’s memories?”

I see…. Premature birth huh. I am sorry to bring you down here with me…

Wait where is his soul??? Don’t tell me that I ended up using soul absorption on him!?

Crap Daichi you had one job! And you blew it!!

I’m sorry little one... I am terribly sorry…

…….

No.. wait this can’t be soul absorption. it has never shown me any of the animals’ memories… so this shouldn’t be possible.. unless!

“Status window open!”

*Sigh*

The voice of his mother, father and the people of the tribe, I can remember it all as if these memories are mine, it feels like my spirit has gotten bigger too.

Other than that nothing else has seemed to change about me.

“NO...O!! Y…oi……ca…jkjikm.” (Unknown female voice)

Huh!? This voice… I am sure that is her!

If a voice can reach this place then there must be an exit somewhere.

Umu, no time to waste!

“Not y…. too...Val” (Eliz)

Almost there!!

World here I come!!!

“LEAVE!!” (Eliz)

“Ehh?!?” (Daichi)

……..

WHAT DO YOU MEAN LEAVE!?! I just got back from that place no way that I am gonna leave

“WAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Crap I didn’t expect a crying sound to come out…

“VAL! Look!!” (Eliz)

“!!!!!” (Val)

Val turned back as Eliz shouts out his name he couldn’t believe what he saw next. His child who seems so lifeless just a moment ago is now opening his eye.

“Sorry… Eliz *sobs*…sorry... I trully.. am..!” (Val)

Right now Val can’t even describe what he is feeling, it was a mixed feeling of guilt, happiness, joy and disappointment in himself as a husband and as a father.

“It’s alright…. we all make mistakes..”

Eliz told him that with a gentle smile on her face, while trying to hold in her tears but after seeing Val’s face which looks like a disaster. She couldn’t help but to hide their baby away from him.

…..

“Eliz… why are yo”

“ Val… that is not a face of a dad...not to mention that this is Kai’s first time meeting you… your face is full of tears and snot! Go wash it!!!” (Eliz)

“B-b-but!” (Val)

“No buts!! I won’t let him see you until you have washed your face!” (Eliz)

“Yes.. ma’am….” (Val)

Val wiped away his tears and snot with his arm before leaving the tent, after all he can’t show his weaknesses to his tribe as a the leader.

But it looks like that it was too late to hide his feelings, outside of the tent all the people from the tribe can be seen, and they were listening whole time.

It has been 2 restless night but yet everyone had a smile on their face while looking at their leader, waiting for his next command.

“Ahemm!... everyone from the bottom of my heart! Thank you!...Thanks to all of you my chi...my child has been born safe and sound……so uhm etoo..… WE ARE HAVING A FEAST TONIGHT DAMN IT!!!” (Val)

“UOHHHHHHHHHH!!!” (People of the tribe)

“SHUT UP EVERYONE YOU GUYS ARE SCARING THE BABY!” (Eliz)

………

“Yes ma’am……” (Everyone)

Uwah women sure are scary… so this is my mom huh? She looks quite young now that I have a closer look at her, brown eyes and blue hair hehh that is a fantasy world for you I wonder what color of hair I ha..ve?

*Splash splash*

“I am so glad… sobs.. I-i am sorry Kai-chan… sorry you have to see mommy in this state… sobs” (Eliz)
