“Kyaaaa!”

When Hanna put her hands in Brünnhild’s armpits and lifted him up to the sky, Brünnhild burst out laughing like any other baby and loved it. They say they learned to talk and were weaned from diapers much earlier than others, but they are still babies.

The sound of a baby suddenly coming from the door was enough to attract the attention of Elysia, who was sitting on a chair waiting anxiously to find out when I would return. She stood up and tried to find out what this was… but you can’t come now! Stop Elysia, which is harmful to children’s education! Don’t move!

“Miss Brunhild, please excuse me for a moment. There’s something in front of you that a good baby shouldn’t see.”

“Chii… I’m all over it now…”

Fortunately, Hannah hugged Brünnhild and covered Brünnhild’s eyes with her hands, preventing the child’s innocence from being shattered like glass hit by a stone. I wasn’t going. Elysia was wary of the appearance of a stranger.

“Paula… What on earth is this person? Who is the baby being held by this person?”

“Ah… that’s… how did it happen…”

I continued to recite the events that had happened in front of the door and the memories I had made with Brünnhild from my frequent visits to the orphanage (they were not ‘my’ memories, but they were in ‘my’ head anyway, so there was no problem in telling them to a third party). After listening to my explanation, Elysia lowered her guard but seemed unable to shake off her doubts and added a word.

“Now that I think about it, I feel like I’ve seen that baby somewhere a lot… At the time, it didn’t seem much different from the other kids, but how could he grow so quickly after not seeing him for a few months?”

“I can’t believe it either… but how can it be true?”

Hannah is actually a hummingbird turned into a person, and Brünnhild is only one year old, but he can use a mysterious trick to find people who have moved far away. Whether Elysia believed this or not, this was a fact and truth that could not be denied.

“Paula If you say so, then it is so. I trust you.”

“Uh… do you trust me? To be honest, I can’t believe it when I tell you… If you want to ask more, you can ask more…”

“You haven’t committed any crime, so the police can’t just interrogate you like a criminal. Adopting a child at our age is a big burden, so it’s not that I don’t want to say something, but… I can’t send back a child who has already come.”

“Thank you.”

It would be great for me if I could end this conversation here. If I had been asked for additional explanation in a situation where I had nothing more to say… it would have been difficult in many ways.

“I’ll change my clothes and come back, so why not play with the baby for a while.”

“Yeah, right. Come on and wear it.”

Elysia turned around, shaking her pink hair, and went to look for her clothes, which she had hung up somewhere in the room. In fact, I have been using the expression ‘room’ until now, but strictly speaking, the place I am staying is not a studio, but an 18-pyeong house with a living room, two rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and even a veranda, so it is a place where the baby cannot see. There were many ways to change clothes.

When Elysia left, Hanna removed the hand that was blocking Brünnhild’s view, and Brünnhild, who was able to see again, stretched out his hands toward me.

“Ah! ah! Now I’m going to give it to Chakan!”

“Do you want to be hugged by me? Yes, hurry and hug me.”

I took Brünnhild from Hanna and hugged her with my ample breasts. I’ve never been a father in the real world before, but having to play the role of someone’s mother here is quite daunting… but I can do as much as giving a hug without knowing anything about parenting.

Brünnhild, who was in my arms, smiled like the happiest person in the world and asked me questions that were difficult to answer.

“Ihihihi… Can I call you mom instead of sister now?”

If I say no, I’m sure the child will cry, and if I say yes, I feel like I’m cutting off the only link that proves I was originally a man and heading to the point of no return, so my lips won’t move at all. I can’t divide my body in half like Solomon…

But is it right to define my gender exactly in the first place?

Although LGBT people are something that Your Excellency the President despises on the same level as JEWs, unlike the imperfect transgender people created in the reality who do not have the technology to remove and transplant someone else’s uterus, let alone create an artificial uterus, I have now physically become a complete woman. It is difficult to compare on the same line.

A 100% woman who has a vagina rather than a dick attached to her groin, a uterus inside her body that can carry a child, and a breast attached to her chest that is responsible for producing mamma to feed the child. I haven’t done a separate test, but it is clear that the sex chromosomes are XX, not XY, so there is ample evidence to define ‘me’ as a woman.

On the other hand, the basis for defining ‘me’ as a man… are only memories of ‘me’ in the original world that no one in this world knows except ‘me’. In this situation, if you insist on remaining a man, wouldn’t that be an act equivalent to the ‘T’ of LGBT that our dear Father, His Excellency the President, has been trying so hard to eradicate?

If I just keep my mouth shut, no one will object to my original gender, and there is no way to return to my original world… Err, I don’t know. It’s weirder to ask him to call me dad, so let’s just call him mom.

“…Yes, you can call me Mom…”

“Wow! Mommy!”

As soon as I gave permission, Brünnhild excitedly opened her small arms as wide as possible and hugged me. If it had ended like this, I would have been able to accept it without feeling any pressure, but one word came out of Brünnhild’s mouth that I couldn’t hear.

“Wow, my mom is the worst in this world! Hey, I’m so passionate about Mom that when I grow up, I want to marry Mom!”

“You mean marriage…? What do you mean, Brun… Hilt?”

It was around that time that Elysia, who had changed into normal clothes, came out of the room. Elysia came out of the room, but when she heard someone talking about getting married, she dropped the object she was holding on the floor and went back in.

Why is he doing that again? Was it that shocking to hear the word marriage come out of the mouth of such a cute little girl? Is it possible for kids to be like that, what…? I, too, was curious about the meaning of Brünnhild’s words, so I had no choice but to ask for clarification.

“But Bryn… Bryn, do you know what marriage is when you say that?”

It was a bit awkward to always use the stiff full name of Brünnhilt, and since I also introduced myself by the name ‘Breen’… I decided to subtly push for ‘Breen’ as a nickname.

“Of course! Donghwachaege, who my mom always taught me, is about to get married! Marriage is about grown adults holding hands and living together for a long time!”

“Yes… I see. Everything our Bryn said is right.”

In other words, I didn’t know anything about marriage, and I was just saying it based on the content of a children’s book that always ends with the ending that says, “The prince and princess got married and lived happily ever after, even though the middle process was different.” As expected… it wasn’t something to be taken seriously.

By the way, Mamma… Mamma… Ah, now that I think about it, I was eating breakfast with Elysia. I don’t know if our Bryn also ate breakfast.

“Did you eat Mamma before coming here?”

“Umm… No! I don’t use anything because my mom and I are eating too much! My stomach is growling right now… Do you want to show it to me?”

Following Bryn’s recommendation, I put my ear to the stomach and listened to see what kind of sound I could hear. It was indeed the growling sound that a person makes when he or she is hungry. And that too with quite a fierce force.

But in my room, there is no baby food, formula, or milk to feed the baby… and breast milk… there’s no way something like that would come out of my chest! Considering the size alone, it wouldn’t be surprising if breast milk came out, but I heard that breast milk only comes from the body of a woman who hasn’t passed a certain period of time since giving birth! It’s not like I’m marrying someone else and having children, so I don’t have to breastfeed Bryn, even though it doesn’t work out for me!

As I was worried about what to feed Bryn, Hannah pulled out a baby bottle and a container filled with powdered milk powder out of the air. In an era where the Mafia is making a lot of money by offering to supply fresh milk after seeing how chalk powder is burned and sold to maintain the white color in some countries, this is truly an incredible readiness… It is too much to go out and buy food for Bryn now. He looked hungry, but it was good.

I put the appropriate ratio of powdered milk and water into a baby bottle, shook it, and put it in Bryn’s mouth while she was in my arms. It was my first time doing this, but perhaps because I had experience volunteering at an orphanage, I was able to feed Mamma with familiar hands.

Of course, Bryn sucked on the baby bottle I gave her with a happy face, and after emptying the entire bottle, she said, closing and opening her eyelids heavily, as if she was falling asleep.

“Mom… I’m sleepy… Koo~ I’m going to sleep…”

“You act like you sleep right after eating… I will rub your back to make it easier for you to burp, so will you lie down and sleep later?”

“Brin is a baby who listens well to what his mother tells him… so he will do as his mother says…”

I put the baby bottle aside and patted Bryn’s back to help him digest the formula, and he quickly went on an adventure into dreamland, making a soft sound. If you lay it down like this, it will itch, so I will have to hold it for a while.
