Seoyul loved being hugged.

He always stretched out his arms towards me, and with his eyes shining earnestly, made a silent request to be hugged.

I could understand.

Because I also felt really good when I was hugged by someone.

If I had to compare it… it felt cozy, like being tightly wrapped in a thick blanket.

To begin with, don’t babies really like being held by their guardians?

By being close to their parents, they feel a psychological bond and form an attachment relationship.

You feel safe knowing that you are protected, and you also feel cozy when you hear the heartbeat that is heard very close by.

Seoyul would have been like that too.

Although I was poor and didn’t have the confidence to proudly claim to be a guardian, I made sure to hug Seoyul as much as I could in order to fulfill at least a similar role.

“Dad, I like it! Hug me!“

It was still like that now.

The time when warm sunlight comes through the window.

The time has come when your stomach is filled with warm contents and you start to feel drowsy.

Seoyul smiled brightly and stretched out her arms. The wings on its back were also spread out as if they were stretching.

The pure smile that pushed out even the sunlight and colored the surroundings brightly made me smile softly too.

‘How can you be so cute?’

The word fairy was a perfect fit.

The fairies seen in the original illustration were certainly beautiful on the outside, but Seoyul was even more so.

Just like I did before, I put on my best smile and spread my arms.

In the past, I couldn’t hug him properly because he only had one arm, but now he has all his arms of his own.

I was able to hug him well without the assistance of the heavenly wings.

“Dad, you’re the best!”

Seoyul jumped up.

I, too, reflect on the experience and calmly embrace you.

– Ugh…

More than just filling my arms, bodies of similar builds clung to me.

A stronger shock than expected.

My body leaned back from the shock that could not be relieved.

‘Gyaaagh…!’

I was scared that Seoyul might get hurt, so I hugged her tightly.

Seoyul’s body overlapped with hers and they both fell backwards together.

Phew… there was no particular shock. There was a soft mat spread all over the living room floor.

These are the supplies I placed in my dormitory.

I was worried that Seoyul might get hurt, so I put a lot of them all over the dormitory, but I felt very strange when I received that help.

“Heeheehee!”

As if that was even good enough, Seoyul burst out laughing.

A refreshing sound of laughter rang out, as if it were a xylophone.

“Ahaha. Our Seoyul is excited?”

Elia, who was in the kitchen, also burst into laughter. She was putting the dishes away, wearing the apron I had provided.

It looks very harmonious and peaceful.

Seoyul even rubbed her body against me like a baby animal.

It was a very cute and lovely act.

‘Aww…’

…The problem is squirming, crushing me.

In the past, I would have accepted it without any problems, but now that I’m the same size, there’s a lot of pressure.

“I like it, Dad!”

[Me too]

[I like Seoyul…]

“Ehehe… Dad’s cheeks are soft!”

[Ahh…]

[You can’t bite…]

Seoyul, who was playing with her cheeks against each other, suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth.

Then he lowered his face and bit my cheek.

[Gyaaagh…]

… I was struggling with a sensation that I felt in the time of the time, but it was hard to get out of the top position.

– Ugh… Ugh… Dad…

…More than anything, it was difficult to resist because of the countless and heavy karma looming over me.

I was embarrassed to call myself a guardian, so I couldn’t refuse even this kind of prank.

In the end, I gave up resisting and let my body go limp.

As if enjoying prey that had lost its ability to breathe, Seoyul crushed me even harder, rubbing against me.

As if he was so happy, his fluttering wings began to flap even harder.

– click

‘?’

It was then.

My body trembled at the particularly strong sound ringing in my ears.

What does it mean? It’s impossible not to know.

This is the camera shutter sound implemented in smartwatches.

I asked, adjusting the corners of my mouth that were quivering.

[Elia?]

– Click click

“Yes, yes. I’m listening… Oh, just a little more to the left! I can’t see Hayul’s face clearly… Just now!”

– Click click

Elia responded casually and took pictures as if asking what was the problem.

I don’t know when it was all cleaned up, but the kitchen was clean and free of dust.

Click… With the shameless sound of the camera shutter, something in me was cut away along with it.

[Do not take pictures…]

[At least I can only take pictures of Seoyul…]

“You can’t do that.”

It’s a blunt voice, but for some reason, it’s a declaration of refusal that cuts off the pleading voice with a single cut.

Elia shook her head in a somewhat stern manner.

“It’s even cuter because there are two babies in one photo.”

[I’m not a baby…]

“Hmm… Can you even recognize photos with your sensing ability?”

[I could]

“Every time I listen to it, it’s so exciting. Usually, the detection ability only recognizes the location and outline…”

Elia tilted her head, and a photo appeared as a hologram.

This is a photo I just took and printed.

There was a picture of me lying helplessly on the living room mat, and Seoyul laughing brightly while crushing me.

“If someone who doesn’t know you sees them, they will see you as a baby sister and brother who get along well.”

[…just look at the size]

[Wait]

[You’re my sister’s younger brother…]

“Yes?”

Elia blinked.

I was taken aback by his attitude as if he was asking me something.

[No matter what]

[Why am I your younger brother?]

“Seoyul is bigger, right?”

[no]

Rattling! The confession necklace clicked violently.

A feeling of resistance welled up inside me.

No matter how young I become, it’s not that much.

The information brought by the power of observation…

Information too…

affection…

…

[…I’m bigger]

“Yes, yes, I understand~ Ah, to the right this time.”

[Don’t ignore it…]

“Dad, are you shorter than me?”

[Huh…]

In an instant, a weapon was stuck in my chest. I stopped breathing in the middle.

– click

Meanwhile, the shutter sound sounded.

Seoyul also pursed his lips.

“Omnyomnyom…”

[Gyaaagh…]

Something was cut again…

.

.

.

“Haaam…”

A cute yawn escaped from Seoyul’s wide-open mouth.

His eyes are slowly drooping and he is acting sluggishly, indicating that he is drowsy.

This is a normal reaction.

Babies usually sleep a lot.

The baby should have fallen asleep a long time ago because his stomach was full and he was squealing and playing a lot.

Seoyul held on for a long time, but it seems like it’s time to go into sleep mode.

“Oh my, is my baby sleepy already?”

Elia, who was watching from the side, came over and gently grabbed the arm of Seoyul, who was rolling her eyes, and took her into his arms.

The crushed body trembled with a sense of liberation.

“More, I can play more…”

“Do your eyes close like this? Shall we take a nap now and wake up and play with dad?”

“ing…”

Elia soothed Seoyul, who was whining in her arms, in a very skillful manner.

Seoyul seemed to protest by shaking her head for a moment, but then her eyes slowly closed as if she was drowsy.

The sound of comfortable breathing is heard soon after.

“You fall asleep very easily, right?”

[yes]

[Great]

“It wasn’t like this at first. She was so busy whining that her dad wasn’t around… There was no such thing as a picky princess.”

Unlike Toro, who said it was difficult because he was picky, he was very gentle to the touch. He was good at arranging his hair and occasionally patting his buttocks and back.

[It must have been very difficult]

[Thank you for taking care of Seoyul]

[I will definitely repay you much more]

I smiled awkwardly when Elia said that it was difficult.

It was then.

Elia giggled softly as if something suddenly occurred to her.

“But he looked like someone else, so he fell asleep easily when I held him in my arms and patted him. I was a bit picky at first, but since I was more nerdy than I thought, I quickly let down my guard…”

Who do you resemble?

At that point, Elia’s eyes were looking at me blatantly.

That gaze was extremely unfair.

Are you looking at me like that when you really don’t know whose parents that child was born with? It was just a frame

…But I chose silence because I had nothing to say in response.

“Tskcha…”

Elia, who had been taking care of Seoyul who was sleeping in her arms for a while, entered the bedroom.

I got up on trembling legs and followed him.

Elia laid Seoyul down on the baby bed.

There was a cradle on one side, but it didn’t seem to be in use right now as Seoyul’s chin had grown faster than expected.

“I used the cradle at first and it was so active. You said you had a hard time trying to get out? So in the end, I spent a lot more time in his arms.”

Even though I hadn’t asked yet, Elia responded as if she knew what I was thinking.

I kept my mouth shut.

He kept trying to get out of the cradle. Could it be that he didn’t like the cradle?

Among the supplies Seoyul will use, there is absolutely no half-made product.

All materials were of the highest quality, and the magic engraving was done by hand in great detail.

Thanks to this, my bank account balance, which had not significantly changed, went down quite a bit…

‘Hmm…?’

While I was sulking, I felt a question mark as I felt a prick on the top of my head.

It feels like something is looking at me from above and sighing.

I focused my observations on that strange sensation, but nothing was detected.

It was a strange sense of discomfort.

“Okay, one person is done. Now what’s next…”

Elia, who had covered Seoyul with a blanket, tapped her hand and then looked away while talking.

At the end of my gaze… there I was, observing a suspicious sensation.

[?]

That strange gaze. Drooping horse tail. A clue that there is only one person.

Feeling the ominous imagination inferred from that, I slowly dragged my legs back, and a quick hand came between my armpits.

– Hike?

Before I had time to resist, my legs came off the floor. A feeling of floating took over my whole body.

“Now… Shall Baby Hayul snore too?”

Elia’s behavior was the same as what she did to Seoyul earlier.

He held her buttocks with one hand and supported his neck and upper back with the other hand.

As I held the child in my arms, my face was buried in the soft texture.

[Wait]

[wait for a sec…]

– Boom… Boom…

Just as I was about to struggle, the sound of someone else’s heart rang in my ears.

My heart, which had been pounding abnormally, gradually quieted down to a normal beat as I could feel it beating even beyond my ample flesh.

The feeling of fatigue and comfort pushed away the reason that was trying to struggle.

The limbs that were struggling lost strength and went limp.

A burst of laughter was heard from above my head as the resistance was immediately suppressed.

It was embarrassing, but soon the hand patting my back and butt made me feel even more tired.

I felt dizzy.

It is a happy feeling where the opposite sex melts sweetly like honey.

That was quite absurd. No matter how much I thought about it, it was a different reaction from normal.

I pouted my lips in protest.

[…I think this is strange]

“What’s strange?“

Elia responded. The way he spoke seemed to be soothing a child who was complaining, which made me feel even more strange, but he continued speaking.

[I am so…]

[I feel like a child]

There was awareness.

I was never an adult.

Even though his body has grown, his mind still seems to be at the level of a child.

Although it was new, I became aware of him again.

It was like that just a few days ago.

I can’t remember clearly, as if there was a dark cloud over me, but I think I was acting like a fool to Professor Liana, and I still am.

The average adult’s mind does not melt when held in the arms of another person and being stroked or patted.

“That’s an area of personal preference. Is there any need to worry about it?”

Elia said after listening to my question.

It’s a straight argument.

It’s not like you’re harassing an innocent person, so it’s not like you’re going to get criticized…

‘……’

Regardless of being aware of my uniqueness and trying to accept myself, I couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

“And, isn’t there nothing we can do about it now?“

[?]

Elia spoke. What does it mean to say that there is nothing you can do about it?

“Single mind and body. There may be many different interpretations, but it can roughly be interpreted to mean that the mind and body are one. This is a concept I often hear and see while studying recovery techniques.”

When I tilted my head, Elia looked down at me with a kind smile.

“After all, wounds are something that occurs both physically and mentally. When the body is hurt, the mind is also damaged, and when the mind is hurt, the body declines.”

I heard this somewhere. I remember that there was a similar concept in the original.

“To summarize, it means that the mind can also be affected by a younger body.”

Uh… Is that so?

“That is! Hayul’s desire to hug me and make a fool of himself is very natural due to his younger body! It means that it is an unavoidable phenomenon at the moment.”

It can’t be helped…? A natural phenomenon…?

“Also, I think that suppressing such desires is not a good action at all. Hayul’s intuition says he’ll be back before long?”

Is this a bad move…?

Body spinning? Intuitively, yes, but…

When I tilted my head as if wondering, Elia patted my head as she continued her lengthy explanation.

“So, if you feel like you can’t stand it, don’t hold back too much and just resolve it. Don’t think it’s rude. I can accept as much as I want.”

The subsequent touches and tone were all kind… as if they were affirming what he said, and were benevolent, as if he would accept anything.

Even if I thought about it with my melting mind, the previous explanation was quite plausible.

Haven’t we heard and seen many cases of people holding back their desires too much and then spilling them out in harsh places and causing accidents?

The melted reason accepted it that way.

It seems like part of the wall has collapsed.

‘……’

After thinking for a moment, I quietly buried my face in his arms.

“That’s right, you’re kind~”

Elia smiled brightly.
