Ashes and Kingdoms

"Nellis, how are you?

"Ah, Brother Finn. Welcome home."

With a baby only about half a month old at birth, Nellis welcomed her brother while sitting in a chair with a sleepy face. Thanks to the patronage of Goddess Nena, it is cheap to give birth, and postpartum fertility is good, but it is just as hard when every day goes on without a cohesive sleep.

Finn walked over quietly, trying to wrap her niece's little head gently fluffy, and then stroked Nellis' hair with the same hand.

"It's a little late, but I brought something to celebrate. I know you're tired, but do you mind?

"Maybe that's what you went to buy out?

Nellis held the baby back and looked frightened.

When this Dragon Marquis arrives, he buys himself a run to procure things that are unavailable in Nanais because of the wings of the dragon, and he flies out to Winnea, Comris, and even the Nornicom kingdom to the east. I want you to take into account things like a little majesty or something like that.

But not caring for Nellis' thoughts like that, Finn nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, of course I've been cleaning up everyone else's errands. When I went there before, I ordered it. Thought you'd need it."

I'm going to go outside once I tell you, and get the luggage I left behind. Seeing what was held in its arms, Nellis turned out to be what a complicated face.

"... you got a bad feeling or as expected, you're still my brother, right?"

Ha, and I can take a deep sigh of relief and nod.

To her sister's reaction, Finn put a soft cloth on the empty chair as she squeezed her eyes.

"Didn't you need it? But no matter how much diaper cloth there is, it won't be enough, will it? I asked for the softest cloth I could get at Comrith. I haven't cut it yet, so you can make sawdust."

"Yeah.... yeah. I know, it's so practical and helpful... it helps though, right?

Come on, come on, I was invited and Finn approached defenseless, one fist in the belly. Instead of yelling at me not to surprise the baby.

Ugh, groaning, Finn holds his belly down. To my helpless brother, Nellis gave me cold eyes.

"Why are you such a substitute for no shards of glamour when your lovely niece is born because of this! Actual supplies would help, but I can even get them all here, so why don't you pick something a little more dreamy?

I can't shout. Yeah, I get an extra-large thorn in my suppressed voice. Finn twilight on his way, tilting his ankle silently and blinking.

"Ha... I didn't expect you to be considerate of my brother, but I'm worried that this is as expected. It's okay, but when you give something to someone, you should definitely talk to your mother or me or Mr. Orsina."

Nellis preaches to man, then touches the cloth. Smooth and soft, this would also be gentle on the baby's skin. Nature and grin come to mind. When I looked up, he looked like Finn was waiting for something. Nellis smiles bitterly and returns a nod.

"Thank you. I'll let you use it."

"Oh. I thought you could say that."

Finn gave me a small dialogue, and Nellis becomes sinister. Finn laughed and offered his hand.

"I'll be watching for a while, why don't you get some sleep?

"Yeah, are you okay? No matter how much your brother says you're used to it... well, look, your mother should be back soon, so I guess I'll ask you until then. I wish you'd let me sleep in a rocking cage, even if I hadn't held you all the time."

Though I've suspected it, my body yawns honestly and quickly. Nellis deposited the baby in Finn's arm, and just for a moment, she managed to go to her own bunk, saying Munya.

I hear my daughter groaning. Nellis woke up and headed into the living room feeling a little better.

Soon Fauna came back and they took turns with Finn. He was holding a crying baby and giving it up.

"Okay, okay, look, it's okay now, your mother's here."

"Welcome home, Mother, thanks. What about your brother?

Nellis takes over her daughter as she inquires. I'm home, and at the same time as I heard the reply, Nellis' eyes found the little one on the table.

"... what, this"

It's a cute little bracelet made of thin, thin, light peach cloth. Nia, the name is embroidered. It was paired with an adult one, and the scarlet one had the name Nellis. Both cloths contain beautiful watermark patterns.

Fauna giggled and taught Nellis to stand still.

"Finn left it. Birth celebration."

"What... but celebrate with this cloth..."

"Weren't you ashamed?

Fauna says funny. Nellis shrugged and stared at the bracelet waiting for the Lord a bit on the table.

If I had been given this first, how would I have reacted?

(Wow)

Just imagine the situation, blood on your face. I don't think I could have thanked you very honestly.

Fauna laughed and said to Nellis, who turned weird by herself.

"You've got a really good brother."

…………

Ugg, and Nellis just returned the unspoken groan.

(Final)
