Gina returned with the goat’s milk. The little one held onto the bottle and suckled. She was obviously really hungry.
Irina stood at the side and watched for a while before asking, “Is it enough just to feed her with goat’s milk?”
“Yes, for now. But, we have to feed her once every few hours. We can’t do it according to our three meals a day standard.” Mag nodded.
“It’s so troublesome.” Irina frowned and her gaze landed on Firis. “Bean Sprout, the duty of feeding her will be yours.”
“Me?” Firis was stunned before showing an enthusiastic expression. “Yes! I’ll definitely take great care of her!”
In order to take care of the little mistress in the past, she had learned a lot of knowledge on the care of children. However, she hadn’t met the little mistress till now, so she had learned all the theories for nothing.
Now, the princess was handing this little cutie to her. She was putting great trust in her. It was also a test for her. She had to do her best to complete it!
“Then, you have to get used to carrying the child first.” Mag handed the little one to Firis.
“W-wait a sec!” Firis extended both her arms out stiffly. Her arms already began to tremble before she even touched the child.
“Don’t worry. Children are very cute, but you have to be gentle.” Gina went forward smilingly and personally taught Firis how to hold a three-month-old baby gently.
The ladies were watching them seriously and learning secretly!
“Gina is so professional!”
“Yes. We’re all young maidens, but why is she so familiar as though she is a mother of three.”
“Why am I learning how to hold a baby when I don’t even have a boyfriend?”
“It’s fine to learn about such things in advance. From practice, we knew we didn’t really need a man to have a baby.”
“Have you named the child?” Mag asked Irina.
“Not yet.” Irina shook her head. She looked at the little one who was drinking her milk seriously. After thinking for a while, she said, “She can’t talk yet and loves to make ‘yi ya yi ya’ sounds. Why don’t we call her Yayi.”
“Yayi?” Mag repeated it gently and nodded. “It sounds rather nice.”
“Little Sister Yayi, please grow your teeth soon. We can have roast goose together once you have teeth,” Amy said softly.
“Roast goose, roast goose.” Kiddo, who was held by Gina, scanned around the restaurant, as though she was looking for something.
Ugly Duckling retracted its tail that was exposed, hid under the counter and shivered.
Family status -1!
Hostility from the world +3!
“Ding-Dong! Attention, Little Mistress. New mission: Teach Yayi how to speak!
“Langage is the bridge of communication. A little life has arrived in a new environment and learning to speak will be a very important step in her life.
“Mission time frame: 30 days!
“Mission reward: It will be decided by Yayi’s language ability 30 days later! The more words she knows, the greater the reward!”
The system’s voice appeared in Amy’s mind.
Amy blinked and accepted the mission. It felt rather simple.
“But, System, what if Little Sister Yayi is stupid and still cannot talk after one month?” Amy voiced out her worries inwardly.
After a moment of silence, the system replied, “According to this System’s analysis, she shouldn’t be an idiot.”
She seemed to be a god’s reincarnation, alright!
If its host was her, then it would be a story about ‘becoming a god again from zero’.
How could a being like her be described as an idiot?
However… Why did such powerful beings with scary backgrounds always appear around its host?
This gave it great pressure when it was trying to expand its business.
If it wanted to do the marriage theme, the little one was too young.
If it wanted to do the training theme, she had awesome talents and was great in both close combat and far offensive magic.
If it wanted to do the rookie theme, she was already a world-wide known genius and was protected by two grandpas.
If it wanted to give her missions to fight monsters, its host didn’t even have a chance to act unless she ran away from home.
It was useless trying to use the tough measure to make its host leave home. She wouldn’t listen to it, alright?!
As a system with ambitions and dreams, it was actually relegated to issue missions like ‘teaching a baby to talk’, which was really heartbreaking to see and hear.
During this period, if it wasn’t for that senior system who always consoled it, it would have descended into depression.
Everyone crowded around Little Yayi while Mag went to the kitchen to make dinner.
“Oh yes, where’s Lady Boss? We didn’t see her today?” Yabemiya asked curiously.
“‘Yes. She asked us to go watch the conferring ceremony, but why didn’t she go?” Camilla also asked Mag.
“Oh, she was held up with something. She’ll only return in a few days’ time.” Mag looked rather calm, as he said what he had prepared in advance.
“Oh yes. I heard your wife is back. Will I cause trouble for you if I come to eat here?” Irina asked Mag smilingly.
Mag cast a glance at her. An unplanned conversation like this would cause trouble for him, alright?
“It’s fine. As long as you don’t come when my wife is at home,” Mag replied.
“Oh, really?” Irina raised her eyebrows slightly and revealed a dangerous smile. “Then, can I leave Little Yayi here with you?”
Everyone put down their chopsticks and stared at Irina and Mag with shock.
“Mmm?” Mag was taken aback. He flicked a look at Yayi, who was sleeping cozily in the cradle at the side, and shook his head in rejection. “No, we can’t do that. We already have three girls at home. We can’t afford to have any more children.”
“Is it that you can’t afford to, or you don’t dare to?” Irina asked him.
“I can’t afford and don’t dare to as well,” Mag said honestly.
“I’ll let Bean Sprout live here too. You just need to direct her.” Irina gave in. “Both of us have never raised a child before, what if we damage her? At least, Gina can help to direct you at your place.”
“This…” Mag had a difficult expression.
“I think it’s workable. I will help take care of Little Yayi,” Gina said with a smile. “It’s indeed a little tough for Firis to take care of her alone.”
Everyone suddenly realized that Irina was going to sponge on them. She was going to let Boss and Gina help take care of Yayi.
“Since Gina already said so, we’ll let Firis and Yayi stay in the restaurant for some time.” Mag agreed with a difficult expression before secretly giving Irina a thumbs-up.
She was indeed his wife. Her on-the-spot adaptability was so great. She managed to place the child in the restaurant so properly.
Shirley flicked a glance at Mag and then at Irina before lowering her head to eat her dinner.
Looking at it now, all the areas that she thought were weird before, were no longer weird now.
However, it still felt weird to watch Alex, who had just slaughtered a monster that was above 10th-tier, and Princess Irina put on an act here.
