Note: someone ask why I translate the ‘toned down’ part and not the exciting part. Mostly because I dunno when the author toned it down so it is hard for me to track it with web archive service and this (toned down raw) is all the raw I have now. If you can find the raw before toning down then send it to me and I will do that one instead!

# Birth

When my little sister born, the first one to give her a bath is not father but it was me and the midwife instead. My father was unfortunately had to go do his job in the forest when mother starts feeling contractions from labor.

“Remilia……!”

The door where mother going through her labor is opened up and from outside, father is coming inside. Usually, a mother who is going through the process of childbirth should be in a weak state after using up all her strength in it ---- but that doesn’t happen to my mother. I assume that was the after effect of using elixir. Even when her stomach getting bigger when her pregnancy enters its late months, mother was still full of energy and move about actively seeming oblivious of the stomach weight.

The sight of her weak and bedridden at that time really seems to be just a nightmare in the past.

“Ricardo…… The baby was born healthy so please don’t you worry. So go on, and call her name for the first time”

“…… Ahh, of course. Great work there Remilia…… and also Hiroto, thank you for accompanying your mother”

“I don’t do much. It was all thanks to aunty midwife. She constantly give her encouragement to mother at the time”

“No you don’t have to thank me. I already feel happy really, having you both safe and healthy…… I’m really glad Remilia-san”

The midwife aunty wipes her tears with her handkerchief.

When mother was in labor, she is the one who uses healing magic to stop her bleeding. Sarasa-san also treat mother with her healing magic periodically back in her pregnancy period and because of that, mother’s condition after the labor is not that bad.

“…… Do you recognize me? I’m your father, Ricardo Siegrid…… and then fraulein*, your name is Sonia Siegrid” (*ger for little lady? Ricardo call Sonia in a polite term that is hard to translate and mademoiselle is kinda not matched so there)

“………...”

The baby that just got named Sonia is looking at my father with her barely opened eyes.

That is the result of using Appraisal Skill and from the result, I know that Elixir will only give either one of the effect towards the user. Mother’s disease is remain a mystery until the end but from the result, I know now that Elixir’s power could even cure a disease that is still unknown.

The ranking of item rarity from the highest is God, Legend Unique, Super Unique, Unique, Rare, and lastly, Normal. Above Unique level, the item doesn’t only get called with its generic name but will instead possess a name unique to itself. Its drop rate from Monsters is infinitely small and even if you try to get it from other mean, it is still something hard to get.

Even if Elixir is created from an array of Super Unique graded item like the mandragora and parts of elusive divine beast, its rarity rating can’t surpass that off the demon sword. That is because even if those are rare, if one managed to collect all the ingredient, one can create it again no matter how many. Rarity of Gods simply means that, there is only one of that item existed.

(Ah, talking about elixir made me remember…… According to my agreement with Obaba-sama, I would only take a half of a flask of the first created elixir)

Seems like Obaba-sama also has some other way to utilize elixir. She said once about a wonder drug that is even higher that elixir but I’m not very clear whether such drug even exist.

“Hmm, if I had to say, she really looks similar to you, Remilia”

“Isn’t it too fast to judge? And also, aren’t her facial features seems closer to you darling?”

Father and Mother talk to each other harmoniously while looking at Sonia’s face. They already enter a love-love mode even when we are still in the medication center. I can’t imagine how much more romantic they will act once they get back home…… I might vomit sugar too much at that time. As their son, let’s just tease, I mean support them from afar.

#Nostrum

A few days after Sonia born, mother could finally get back home.

Fortunately when mother is still away, mother’s friends, Sarasa-san, and even Serra-san came to house to help with the house chores. So even if mother is not around, we managed to keep the house tidy.

It was all thanks to mother sparing no effort in socializing with the neighbors that in such times, they are willing to come help.

In my previous life, my social network is almost nonexistent beside the friends that I made in game. In this life, I determined to improve my social ties. And of course, the normal relationship kind without the need of using my charm skill.

The feeling of discomfort when talking with other people has gone. When I still feel discomfort toward talking, I used to convey my feeling with a letters many time before and their happy face when receiving the letter is still memorable until now. They must feel happy because I remember them. So even when I can talk normally now, I still can’t stop the habit for writing letter.

And that’s why, today, as my expression of thanks toward Neris-Obaba-sama who had always take care of me, teaches me spiritual magic, and help me create elixir, I give a letter of thanks to her.
