“Asha! Come here!”

“Karrrr!”

After having a child, every day was like a war. First of all, I was basically unable to stay still, so I walked around without stopping for even a moment.

The rare is extremely wide, the child is tiny, its speed is unbelievably fast for a baby, and it doesn’t listen to anything, so it’s literally on the verge of spinning away.

The best part is that there are not one such child, but two.

Clearly, there were four adults in Rare, but there were frequent situations where they couldn’t handle two children.

“…Is the difficulty level of parenting among dragons always like this?”

To the point where I wondered if I had witnessed a part of the truth about the low birth rate among dragons.

“Other dragons aren’t like this…?”

When Wayne started making insinuations, I immediately became indignant.

“No, then you’re saying our kids are strange!?”

No matter what happens, I can’t bear to mistreat my children. As I increased the tension like a crazy person, Wayne shook his head as if there was no answer.

“Ugh… It’s like my arms are outstretched. I’m not saying your kids are weird, I’m saying you are weird.”

“…Me?”

“Okay. Usually dragons are laissez-faire. Of course, we provide care for the first few years after birth, but it is not treated like a human child.”

“…So, you’re saying that you basically don’t care where you hang out as long as you’re in the rare?”

“That’s right. Extremely proud dad.”

“No, if you think about it that way, Arzen is also polarizing?”

“Arjen… I guess he missed the affection of his family.”

“Ah….”

If you look closely, Wayne had a knack for leaving people speechless.

“Keuhm, anyway, Arjen is taking care of Adele, so I have to take care of Asha. No, now is the time for Luv, not Arjen?”

Arjen was raising children by dedicating time to each personality.

Because the dragon’s physical strength and personality rotation guarantee rest time, Arjen can literally take care of the children 24 hours a day.

“Bah!”

“Oh! There it is!”

When I heard Asha’s voice coming from afar, I ran in the direction of the sound.

Asha was playing with shiny objects in a room full of gold and silver treasures.

Wayne, who ran along, saw the scene and laughed.

“Hehe, just in case someone is a dragon, look at the treasure being revealed already.”

“No… he’s carrying something heavy.”

Asha held the golden mermaid statue with both hands and played with it. It was a statue larger than his own body.

Considering the weight of gold, it was as if he was producing superhuman strength.

“Asha. Come to Dad.”

“No rental!”

“I learned the word ‘dislike’ really clearly…”

I’m sure Arjen must have taught me many words since I was inside the egg, but for some reason, most of what he says is full of negative expressions.

“Mom, should we go eat jjichi? Is it okay if Adele eats it all by herself?”

“No rental!”

Asha throws away the golden statue she was holding at the sound of her mother and runs towards me. The sight of it stretching out its short arms and asking for a hug is very cute.

It is said that the reason why breast-feeding children, who can chew meat as soon as they are born, is to spread magical power.

Newborn and infant dragons who do not yet have the ability to recover their magic power on their own recover their magic power from their mother’s milk…

There was a reason why I drank it and got drunk. It probably contains a significant amount of magical power.

“That’s right, you’re kind, our Asha. Should I go to my mom?”

“Yes!”

I quickly picked up Asha and headed to where Arzen was. Asha, who was in my arms, had a smile on her face as if she was so happy.

“Ugh, are you so happy that you’re going to see your mom?”

“Ugh~?”

“No? So what is it?”

“Daddy!”

“Oh, you like your dad?”

With no time to resist, tears of joy pour out.

“Dad, I really like Asha too!”

“Ugh….”

Wayne looked pitifully from the side as I suddenly made a fuss, but what did he know? It’s just a pity that I can’t share this joy.

“Oh, mom is over there~?”

Rube was breastfeeding Adele in the room. Adele was dozing off, probably falling asleep while breastfeeding.

“Are you here? Asha~ Come to mom~”

Luv is now skillfully handing Adele over to me and accepting Asha. Then, Asha bites the other side of the breast that Adele was dozing off just moments ago.

“…….”

As I watched Asha sucking Luv’s milk with her gurgling mouth, I quietly let out a word.

“Do I have to leave my father’s share as well?”

“There’s nothing I can’t say in front of kids.”

“Wow!”

Eventually, Wayne, who had been silent next to him, tackled him. I came to my senses after being hit in the back with a water pipe.

“Ugh….”

At the same time, it was natural for Adele to wake up in my arms.

“Ah, Wayne, Adele woke up because of you.”

“Anyway, sleeping while breastfeeding is a bad habit, so you have to change it. If you make a habit of it, you will never sleep unless you breastfeed.”

“Oh really?”

Adele must have not been in a deep sleep, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw my face and smiled brightly.

“Daddy!”

“It’s Dad!”

A baby’s unique smell wafts out from Adele as she is hugged.

Fatherly love rises in the scent that naturally puts a person in a stable mood.

“Adele, kiss your dad~”

“Um!”

Unlike Asha, who used to say ‘eye mask’ every chance she got, Adele was an angel who did everything she asked.

Feeling great after receiving Adele’s kiss, I glanced at Wayne.

“Are you jealous?”

“…I’m jealous, but you have nothing to be proud of?”

Even though Adele was basically obedient to what everyone said, kissing was a privilege that only her mom and dad could enjoy.

One time, even though I told Wayne several times to kiss him, he just rolled his eyes and shook his head.

“When Asha grows up, will she become an angel like Adele?”

“I don’t know what. The older children get, the less they listen. Pray that Adele doesn’t end up like Asha.”

I clicked my tongue at Wayne’s harsh words. Coincidentally, where I used to live, there was also a saying, ‘You’re an ugly four-year-old, and you’re a seven-year-old who wants to kill you,’ so I’m even more afraid of threats that aren’t threats.

As a result, Wayne’s words became voodoo.

Five years of eventful parenting have passed, and the children have grown their heads.

Asha became a curious boy and Adele became a lively girl.

Needless to say, they both became angelic children who listened well to their mom and dad.

Actually, I can’t say that he is kind by nature. There was clearly an incident that started it.

Do you remember what Arjen said about all of his personality participating in parenting?

Of course, rose and viola were included among them.

The incident occurred around the time when Asha and Adele were approaching their third birthday, when their hand habits got worse and they started hitting people and objects without distinction.

At that time, if something happened that the children did not like, they would lie down with their heads down and throw a tantrum.

It was natural to wave one’s arms freely during the process.

The problem was that the person who was announced to take care of the child at the time was Rose.

Coincidentally, Rose, who could not utilize the dragon’s physical abilities at all and was essentially a human, was seriously injured by the three-year-old dragon’s struggles.

Of course, the situation became more serious, and it was Viola who appeared among the completely frozen children, as if she knew that something unusual had happened even from their perspective.

As befits her with the most superior strength, she healed the wounds she sustained as Rosé in an instant…

“These guys!!!”

We implemented ‘strict discipline’ that no other personality had attempted before.

After that discipline, which was difficult to remember and difficult to talk about, the children became obedient angels.

I was worried that instilling fear at a young age might cause trauma, but Arjen said that this is normal for dragons.

He said he was very scared of his mom and dad when he was young.

Seeing that Asha and Adele are growing well without any problems after getting rid of their tears at that time, it seems like there really is no problem.

“Dad! Dad! Let’s go have fun!”

“Okay, where should we go today?”

After my children were old enough to differentiate between different things, taking them out for a walk together became my main routine.

“Ugh… I want to go out too…”

As I was getting ready for a walk, Arjen grumbled in an envious voice.

Given Arjen’s personality, she would have gone out with him, but Arjen had things to do separately.

Even if I say it’s work, it’s not something grand; it’s just rest.

A female dragon that goes through pregnancy, laying eggs, and breastfeeding appears to need quite a long rest to regain its pre-pregnancy strength.

Arjen, who had barely recovered her strength by focusing on breastfeeding, was confined to the rare to recuperate, although it was not as good as when she was pregnant.

So, as a father, I have to come to my senses and take care of my children.

“Forest! I want to go to the forest!”

“The surrounding area is all forest…”

Asha and Adele dragged me into the forest, perhaps because the forest that seemed the same to me looked new every time to the children.

I also went for a walk with the kids without thinking much about it since I always went out there.

…If I had been able to figure out what was going to happen next, I would have been more alert.
