Parenting in Full Bloom! The Former Villainous Noble Son Who Found His Love Nest - Chapter 17
Chapter 17
Translator: sleepingjay
Once we returned to the residence, I closed myself in the room assigned to me.
My mind would drift to unsatisfactory thoughts when I was alone. Rather than spending time uselessly like that, I would rather mix some herbs.
Recently, the hot weather had weakened the condition of a lot of elderlies. Although it’d be fine if they just took a bit of salt and water frequently, they didn’t have much attachment to their health, so they never did as they were told. They’d barely follow my instructions. Then, before they noticed it, they’d have collapsed from heatstroke. It was this kind of cycle.
Hence I thought of making something.
A pastille that could replenish a person’s daily necessary salt content.
If they had this, then even those weaklings wouldn’t lose to heatstroke!
After trial and error, at last I managed to produce pastilles with the efficacy that I wanted. While I was fascinated by the beautiful liquid and self-satisfiedly chuckling to myself, I felt the presence of a person at the door.

“Who is it?”
“……”
“If you’ve got some business with me, just come in.”
When I called out, the person on the other side of the door became excessively restless and flustered. Hmm? This feeling, it was this afternoon’s—
“So it’s Cyril!”
“Hyaaa!”
With the satisfaction of completing the medicine, I, who was still excited, had a higher mood than usual.
I caught Cyril, who was in front of the door, into my embrace. He was so surprised his tail vigorously jumped up and down.
I really wanted to fall asleep hugging him like a pillow, just like this. But thinking of this noon’s events, I had to reluctantly put him down on the floor.
“It’s my bad. You are just too cute, so I couldn’t help being over-excited.”
“……It’s ok.”
“Can you forgive me?”
Though hesitant, Cyril lightly nodded.
Was he afraid of strangers? He looked at me as if he had something to say, but no words were coming out. He kept silently staring up at me. When he blinked, his long eyelashes fluttered.
I’d prefer if he were to chatter endlessly instead. Giving Cyril a sidelong glance, I placed the dangerous medicinal materials back on the shelves.
“……ah.”
“What is it? If you have something you want to talk about, it’s fine to say it slowly. So say it if you want to talk.”
Cyril slowly nodded.
With a plop, his large ears moved. Recalling the sensation from this afternoon, I became tempted again.
“How old is Cyril?”
“…… Fwouw.”
“I see, so you’re four years old.”
Holding out his tiny hand, he held up four fingers.
When I patted his head, Cyril’s slender tail gently, gently drifted about, and came to twine around my feet.
“In a way, beastmen are quite easy to understand, huh?”
Considering how expressive their ears and tails were, it seemed like it’d be troublesome in daily life.
“Liliush.”
“Hmm?”
“….. Thwere, feels nice.”
“Ooh, is that so?”
His big eyes becoming half-closed, Cyril snuggled up to my palm.
What was with this feeling? My chest felt as if it was being tightened to a squeeze, it was intolerable.
It had to be an illusion. Someone like me who didn’t like children, because of a child, had his heart fluttering……
While I was stumped, my hand stopped, and Cyril looked up at me pitifully.
“Liliush……?”
“……I, actually.”
I’d never imagined that a day would come when I would think a kid was cute.
During my daze, who knew what he’d misunderstood, but Cyril turned around and pushed out his little rear to me.
Then, with his tail swaying around, he looked at me over his shoulder.
“Liliush is feeling down, right? Liliush’s nice, sho it’s ok to pat this.”
“?!”
“Wwike, tail? Me too, wwike?”
“—!!!”
While saying that embarassedly, flutterly, flitterly, his tail swayed as he shook his body.
I, I couldn’t resist it anymore.
Inside, things like reason had already been blown off somewhere far away.
“Hya—!”
“Ah, how soft! It’s so fluffy like this, what a bad child. Tempting me like this, what are you doing?”
“Funyuu.”
“Even your cheeks are so chubby……! Your hair is really fluffy too, isn’t it~”
“Li, Liliuch, chm, muu~!”
When I breathed into his ear without warning, his ear twitched up and down. It tickled my chin, and… I probably lost my reason again, because I chomped on it.
“Kyuu—”
While I softly gnawed on the elastic ear, Cyril quivered twitchingly in my arms. My appearance had completely turned indecent as I satisfiedly manipulated Cyril’s whole body.
“Ah, s-sorry!”
“……Liliush, is mean.”
“It’s my bad…… Aah.”
“Nyo, more!”
While completely exhausted and laid flat out on the floor, Cyril pouted.
When I was coaxing him, suddenly a child’s voice that was very similar to Cyril’s resounded in the room.
“Ah~ I ended up seeing a pervert doing erotic stuff to Cyril!”
“?!”
Surprised, I turned around to find a kid noisily sliding out from under the bed.
“I got to watch a good thing. Adults make babies like this, don’t they? I want to make them too.”
Saying those uninhibited and audacious words was a child with an unexpectedly serious face, considering his imperious tone. With a face that was exactly like Cyril’s, he looked at me as if watching something of great interest.
On his body, which was of Cyril’s height, were the silver-snow hair and ears possessed by Knight Commander Moorwright’s children.
If there was one thing different, it was probably this child’s eyes. Inside the black eyes that were like mine, a sparkling golden-colored light was twinkling.
