After that, after a lot of talking, everyone left the guest room with the words of Grandpa Elvis, "Now go to bed." Takeo and Alice are also coming back to the bedroom.
Mia and the others had their hair dried after bathing with Alice and went back to their rooms.
Now, Takeo was lightly drying Alice's hair, sitting on the chair next to her bed.
"I can't really feel it after a day."
I was writing it down at Mr. Berthe's place.
"Rather than feeling it, I feel like I have to do it."
"I see."
I told you on the way home, but what about the gender of the children? "
"Hmm... I know I'm not disappointed, but...
What do you think? "
Alice says.
“So am I.
I don't care about the sex of the child... but I don't know if I should know.
I think it would be better to know about it at least in the next month or so. ”
Huh ~, does Takeo-sama think so?
“Yes, if you know the gender, you can narrow down things like the upholstery and clothes in the room.”
"Ah, indeed.
But first of all, is it a gender public announcement... I'm afraid of being interpreted strangely in terms of gender judgment. "
"That's right.
But I think anyone who sees what we or the Elvis family are buying will know.
I think it's better to say that the spirits have judged it. "
"Shall I tell only those who understand?"
... it seems like it will be passed on soon.
“That's it.”
"Well... it can only become..."
And, Alice, about childcare, please say something to me. "
"???... What do you mean?"
"The reason why couples in childcare get along badly is probably because they are not able to communicate.
The point is that I said 'I think so' or 'I feel so'.
This is for both me and Alice.
It is a mistake to say that we will know because we have been together for a long time or because we are a couple.
We can't understand exactly what the other person is thinking.
So, I don't know if you want me to do something, or if you want me to say something.
This is the same for Alice, you don't know if I want that, do you? ”
"... I don't know."
“I say childcare is the same as war.
Mothers always use their nerves to look at their children, saying, "I don't know how they move, so I can't keep my eyes open."
Fear is the only thing you can do that you don't expect, and this will push you mentally.
In such a state, mothers often think to their fathers, "I know that much."
If you think calmly, mothers will think, "Do something nonsense," but mothers who are raising children will not be able to see things calmly.
Because seeing a child is more important than doing that. ”
"... is that so?"
"I don't know.
I'm just saying what I felt objectively.
In terms of the sensitivity of the mothers, the child is the first and the husband the second.
Besides, from the perspective of mothers, my husband works outside instead of childcare.
I don't understand my plight because I haven't experienced the war of childcare.
I have a bad feeling that I won't help you even though I don't know. ”
...... Takeo-sama, you're working, right?
"Yes, I've been working on the paperwork today."
So, what comes out is an assessment of the hypothesis that my husband has the same ability as a spirit or something, "I'm so busy, I know that much". "
"It's irrational."
"That's right.
So I'd like to ask Alice in advance.
I'm not a spirit, so I don't understand Alice's idea.
Please tell me if you want me to do something.
Sometimes I move on my own, but if it goes in the right direction, it probably won't work.
There are most things that don't make sense from people in the process of doing things that people who don't know the battlefield of childcare do.
That's why I don't want to do anything extra for Alice.
Please let me know if you need anything.
Otherwise, I won't be able to move.
It's not up to me, it's up to Alice. ”
"... I see."
Alice nodded.
"That said, there are maids who have experience around Alice, and there are also Pana and Konoha."
Alice should work with them to raise them. ”
"I understand.
I'll take care of the childcare.
I think I will also talk to Takeo-san, but thank you very much. "
"You can just tell me what Alice thinks right now and what she's worried about.
I don't know if I can give you an accurate answer, but I'm sure I can share my thoughts with Alice.
Alice should take it and think about it.
Alice, I'll take care of the children, but I'm not indifferent to them.
I don't want to make too much of a mess, but if Alice gives me instructions, I'll move a lot.
So, Alice, don't let anything get in the way, and let me know if you need anything.
It's fine if it's just everyday childcare, I can always listen to it. ”
"Yes, it's okay."
I am not alone, so I will continue to raise children while consulting with everyone. "
Alice nodded.
