I Became a Druid whom the Different Races are Obsessed With - Chapter 82



82 – The God of Parenting

“Are you asking me to take care of the baby? Do you think that’s possible? “Are you really out of your mind?”

“Didn’t I take care of my child while traveling? “Considering the hardships you’ve gone through so far, can’t you turn a blind eye this time?”

I quickly headed to Shizu and Kaa before I got scolded by Amula.

The girls who were feeding water to the deer and wolf without saying a word to each other were shocked and frowned at my request to accompany them.

‘Is that why you hate it so much?’

Of course, I could completely understand why they were reluctant to have a baby.

Because these girls were closer to scary monsters than to cute babies.

But what are you going to do with me? If I don’t take you with me, the high elf woman who is scarier than a monster will say, ‘You bastard!’

I was not intimidated by Shizu’s strong tone and instead opened my mouth with a firm attitude.

“This is a rare opportunity to learn about the parenting style of veterans. “If you don’t plan on being single for the rest of your life, there’s no harm in experiencing it.”

“Still, I—”

“─Shizuya. Are you going to live alone your whole life?”

“…… “That’s not true.”

Shizu frowned at my words and turned her head.

She thought she would remain single for the rest of her life and only care about her reputation as a warrior, but judging by her bitter reaction, it seems that wasn’t the case.

“Tsk. I get it. You can go, right? Instead, you should take care of everything.”

After thinking for a while, Shizu decided to lend a hand with her childcare problem and stood next to me.

In that case, now all you have to do is persuade Kaa and take him there.

I tapped Kaa’s sagging shoulder and softly opened her mouth.

“No one says anything about taking care of a baby. Since we’ve come this far, how about helping out properly?”

“Childcare is… I don’t think it suits the warrior commander….”

“Well? “It’s nice to see you holding the baby.”

“Ugh… Isn’t that kind of remark disgusting? .”

Fortunately, persuading Kaa was not that difficult.

I expected it because she had a kind and devoted personality, but even considering her personality, it was a fairly smooth acceptance.

“Then let’s go right away. “There are more babies than expected, so it seems like they’re in a hurry.”

Actually, I was a little worried about leaving childcare to two young ladies.

However, as requested by Amula, two additional workers were secured.

I walked towards the center of the village, hugging Piyi, who was dozing off on my shoulder.

“I can already hear the baby crying.”

“I hope nothing special happens….”

The girls following me looked even more nervous than when they faced the monster.

Of course, they would act with sufficient caution, but looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like some kind of accident, big or small, was going to happen.

‘I don’t know. The person who asked me to bring him is a baby.’

This is a suggestion that came from Amula’s mouth, so no matter what happens, Amula will do something.

After thinking about that, I sighed deeply and entered the tent filled with the sounds of babies crying.

A huge tent with wagons looted from humans as the walls and monster pelts as the ceiling.

There was a fierce battlefield waiting inside that I had never experienced before.

* * *

“Why on earth are you so late? “All three of you, please come this way.”

“Uh, yes. “What should we do?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to do anything difficult. All you have to do is walk around the tent and comfort the crying child.”

“…… “That seems difficult enough.”

The mission given to our trio was ‘to soothe the crying baby.’

It is said that this was the largest tent in the village, but it was too narrow to accommodate a large number of centaurs, so the mothers were waiting outside.

Because of this, there were not enough people to take care of the babies gathered together, and those of us who could move quickly even in a small room were hired as workers.

“Hey, baby. Is there any reason why we need to come forward? “You can just leave the baby with the mothers and call them sequentially.”

“Mr. Shizu. We would like to do that too, but the situation is not conducive. Since the weather is cold, you can’t make the babies wait outside, right? However, it would take a long time for us to go around and look at it.”

“Umm….”

“More than anything, looking at the atmosphere here, there is a high possibility that there is a baby in critical condition. “In order to respond quickly, it is better to gather them in a warm room like now and inspect them quickly.”

“…… I get it.”

“If you are convinced, please move now. Our nannies will be checking on the babies, so you three can go around and comfort the crying babies. “If there’s anything strange, please tell me right away.”

Amula, who instructed us on our mission, immediately went into action with the other two nannies.

The sight of babies being carefully examined and their nutritional status carefully sorted gave off the air of a parenting expert.

If the nannies work so hard, we, as superiors, can’t just sit still.

I announced the official start while looking at Shizu and Kaa who were hesitant.

“Then let’s move too.”

“Ha… “I can’t help it.”

“…… “Okay.”

It wasn’t difficult at all to find a baby who needed our help.

There were about 20 babies gathered side by side inside the tent, but most of them were crying loudly.

“I think the babies crying right now are healthy. “He’s not crying because he’s in pain, so don’t worry and just comfort him.”

“How can you be sure of that?”

“If you’re not healthy, you won’t be able to cry like a fighter.”

“Ah.”

We immediately sat down on the soft fur and started taking care of the babies.

Although they are centaur babies, they are born as horse people and green people with the blessing of wildness.

Those beastman babies were completely different from the human babies I knew, even in their growth rates.

They were obviously born this spring, but they were already turning over and crawling all over the place.

“Ugh! “What kind of baby is this strong?”

“Hi! “Don’t bite your tail!”

Maybe that’s why the babies cried loudly and their grip was stronger than expected.

Shizu was grabbed by the head by those babies, and Kaa couldn’t do this or that with his tail bitten.

It was really instantaneous for chaos to break out among the parenting novices.

“Shizu. “You shouldn’t hit someone just because you’re angry.”

“Ugh! “Don’t take the obvious!”

“Why is Kaa so stiff? “Try to move more actively.”

“Stop looking at me like that, help me!”

I smiled happily while watching Shizu and Kaa struggling.

If you look at the situation, it was a chaotic scene, but it was interesting because it was a sight that could not be seen except now.

But from their point of view, they found it disgusting to see me just teasing them without even helping them.

Immediately, the girls who were wrestling with their babies with red faces started shooting sharply at me.

“Why are you looking at me like that?!”

“Ugh! Ghaul! How long do you plan on letting go?!”

It seemed like this was the end of just watching.

In that case, I should now take care of the baby in earnest.

I lifted Piyi, who I was holding, out of the baby’s reach and slowly got up.

“Let’s see how good you are!”

“Why don’t you try it too!”

When I moved, Shizu and Kaa shouted with their eyes shining.

It didn’t seem like they expected me to calm them down, and it seemed like they were planning to tease them harshly if they failed like they did.

“What’s wrong with these ladies? “Even though I look like this, I’m a druid.”

But I had no intention of failing from the beginning.

Getting the beastman babies to stop crying was an easy task for me, a druid.

“Sit there and take a good look. “I’ll show you the essence of parenting.”

I got up from my seat and took off the spirit armor I was wearing.

This is because cold, hard armor was not suitable for dealing with a baby.

I, who was dressed in light clothes, woke up the sleeping beast and began to wrap it around my body.

It was the wild nature of a course horse for the demon race babies and the wild nature of a deer for the green race babies.

A druid wearing the wild spirit of a centaur. I could feel the attention of those around me being focused on me.

“Hmm?”

“Gaul?”

Shizu and Kaa shouted in confusion, but I did not stop and continued with my next action.

The thing to awaken this time was none other than animal affinity, which is a Druid trait.

The Druid’s affinity is such that if he concentrates his mind, he can communicate with wild animals.

It was a Druid’s secret art of drawing out instinctive favor towards the beast people, which had already been verified through Cheongi and Youngi, the priestesses of Cheongcheong Yeongwol.

“Witness it. “The coming of the parenting god.”

The reaction was immediate.

The room, which had been noisy with the sounds of babies crying, suddenly became quiet, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on me and did not leave me.

I had some idea that it would be like this, but the effect was much more overwhelming than I expected.

As I was a little confused, Kaa, who was looking at me blankly, pouted her lips and grumbled.

“Well, isn’t that too cruel!”

He probably intended to make fun of me if I failed to calm the baby down, but he seemed to have been unfairly treated when I succeeded using the power of a druid to show off.

But what is there to be lethal in dealing with a baby?

I began to spread my chest proudly again and monopolize the babies’ attention.

“Well, that…” How did you… Will?”

At that time, a voice that seemed to be creeping in came from right behind me.

I, who had not noticed someone approaching, was startled and turned around.

There was a centaur girl with cute and impressive horns looking down at me.

“Wow! It’s a surprise!”

“Hi! Sorry, sorry! Sorry!”

A centaur girl with the lower body of a deer.

It looked gloomy but had a mysterious aura, and no matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like an ordinary centaur.
