Chapter 22 – Volume 5 – The World Where the Head Is a Flower Garden (2)
“Nua…”
“Orca, should you wake up? It’s already morning. Today is the birthday you’ve been waiting for so long, right?”
“Ugh…Mom, I’m going to sleep one more hour to celebrate my birthday…”
“After saying that, you’re going to whine about why I didn’t wake you up again?”
When did I frown over something like that!
My mom is also very happy from the morning of her birthday.
I glared at her mother for a moment, then she somehow managed to loosen up her sullen body and come out of her room.
“Is the orca awake?”
“Good morning!”
Today, my very dependable dad was sitting at the table waiting for me.
Oh, Mom could just tell Dad to come out quickly because Dad is waiting for him.
What do you really not know?
“Hee hee, dad morning kiss!”
“You’re already 19 years old, so wouldn’t it be okay to stop doing that morning kiss thing?”
“Ooh, Daddy’s love has cooled.”
“That’s right. Mom will retrieve Daddy’s lips now. Orca is an adult now, so I don’t have that.”
They said that when you become an adult, you will be able to walk around outside alone, and there are many things that limit you in many ways, so I was looking forward to it.
I thought it wasn’t very good because I thought I couldn’t do a morning kiss with my dad.
Even so, her mother monopolized her father all the time, and her surprise kisses exploded.
“That’s right, your dad is your mom’s, right? I’m your dad’s. Don’t mistake me for renting it for a while?”
“It’s not that you shouldn’t talk about anything since your birthday. Orca, it means that it’s time for you to become more mature.”
“Is it a grown-up thing to not have a morning kiss with Daddy?”
“Definitely graduating from that is a grown-up thing.”
I don’t know for sure, but it must be because my dad is like that.
After I said yes, I sat down and waited for her mother.
She finished the food right away, and she smiled and said happy birthday to her, and her dad followed suit and congratulated me with a smile.
“Happy birthday Orca.”
“Happy birthday, Orca.”
“Ehehe…”
As we emptied the table full of things much tastier than usual, Dad said he was acting like that and told us to eat slowly.
To be honest, there are so many delicious things, so how can you eat slowly?
If mom decides, she can make delicious food like this, but why does she always make strange things while worrying about her health?
“Whoops, it reminds me of the old days.”
“When?”
“When I first got an orca? I was very happy that we had a child.”
“…When are you talking about it?”
“Now that Orca is an adult too, can I talk to you a bit?”
“No, what the hell are you talking about on your birthday…?”
As soon as I heard my father’s troubled voice, I felt that this story was very interesting.
He immediately started begging to tell his mother.
“Whoa, does Orca know how babies are born?”
“Hey, you crazy elf!”
“No, now he’s an adult too, so I need to know what he knows. How long will he wrap me around?”
“Haa… You really have been steady since then.”
The two of them continued to argue for a while, and as usual, her mother hugged her father and pressed her body closely, so her father’s face turned red and she began to be unable to say anything.
But does dad hate her mom’s hugging so much?
“Dad, why do you hate it when you always hug me?”
“Huh, it’s not that I hate it, it’s that I’m ashamed. It’s because you exist.”
“Are you going to hug me?”
“No really… Ugh!? Are you crazy?”
“Huh, you say no, but you’re honest here today, right? Can you make your child do sex education with your own body if you keep doing that?”
Her mother chuckled and let go of her father, who started running away from her mother, clutching her head as if her head hurt.
No matter how you look at it, you seem to hate it. Are you ashamed of that?
As expected, the adult world is really difficult.
“Orca, you mean a baby. Do you remember that mother and father, that is, the product of love between husband and wife? What I heard before when I was learning the doctrine of Mijia.”
“Ah, yes! That’s why God said the baby was placed in the mother’s belly!”
“Then the process of prayer is necessary, right?”
“Prayer?”
“Yeah, I need a process of praying to God to give us a baby too.”
It is said that simply begging to be taken down will not result in a baby.
There is a procedure for that too, and only if you do it as it is, God considers it a prayer and drops the baby off.
It’s a very difficult story.
“Can’t I rather do it? I’m anxious to think you’re giving your child sex education…”
“Huh, what kind of sex education is a gentleman running away in shame because I’m hugging him in front of a child!”
“No, it’s embarrassing! Can’t you live with something called shame?”
“Orca, isn’t Daddy a bit strange? You’re such a strange person that you’re ashamed of loving each other.”
“That’s right! There is no shame in loving!”
And making a child is so precious and important God’s will.
He explained that while doing it, he became incredibly happy.
So I said I was curious too, and my mom tried to take off my clothes.
My dad tried to stop me by saying he was really crazy.
“You really…!”
“He’s an adult now too!”
“No, no matter how much it is, the child doesn’t realize it on his own, so what if the parents tell him!”
“…Is it?”
“Does it suit your aesthetic?”
“I don’t think so. It’s best to do it naturally while thinking about the person you love.”
Unexpectedly, Dad won this time.
However, I had no idea what the conversation between the two of them meant, so I just took the piece of meat in front of me to my mouth and ate it while watching.
After all, mom and dad are always good friends.
“Kuhmm, anyway, do you remember seeing Dad peeing?”
“Hey…!”
“Yeah! Sometimes it’s really big, but sometimes it’s smaller than that!”
“The man prays for a child while putting it into the hole on the side where the woman pees.”
“Really? Then you’ll have a baby?”
“So? Did Mom and Dad do the same to give birth to Orca?”
Just like mom and dad live together, if Orca has a loved one who will be with him for the rest of his life.
Then she said that she just had to pray for him to have a baby like that.
So she asked if it was okay with her dad, but her dad and her daughter said that they shouldn’t pray like that and that daddy belonged to her mom and then her mom would cry.
“I hate seeing my mother cry.”
“Right? So Orca is looking for someone other than her dad to love.”
“Yes!”
That’s how the study on how to have a baby is over.
Then it was about the birthday present I had been talking about over and over again.
Still, Mom and Dad were skeptical about the gift.
“I’m sorry Orca. As expected, Mom wants you to go out alone after knowing the world a little more. It’s not another place, it’s the capital of the Empire. I’m worried.”
“But my mother is an elf too. But why do they hate me?”
“That’s… Because of prejudice? I don’t know about Orca, but there was a race war a long time ago, right?”
“Tribal Wars?”
At that time, her mother’s race of elves and her father’s race of orcs didn’t get along very well.
So I got into a really scary fight.
Was it a very bad incident in which many people were injured and even died?
But at that time, the elves who lost in the battle had children by the orcs.
At that time, a great number of half-orcs were born.
“Is it the same harp as mine?”
“That’s right. Just like you, elves and orcs’ harps were born.”
“But if you lost the fight, did you force it?”
“Yeah. They forced me to pray for a baby.”
“So you have a baby that only orcs want?”
“Right. But who does our Orca look like?”
“Mom!”
That was the problem.
Originally, orcs and elves were distinguished by their appearance, but it is said that the harps, who looked so much like elves, started fighting elves after being educated by their fathers.
A huge number of elves were sacrificed in a sudden situation where it was difficult to tell them apart, and after that, the number of harps continued to increase.
“Why did you fight so hard?”
“Well, the trigger must have been trivial… Once you crossed the line and started fighting, the emotional rift must have deepened, right?
“Yes!”
Although now all races have come to an agreement and the war has ended.
It is said that most of the races that suffered damage because of the harp characteristics of the orcs, even if they were not elves, had bad feelings toward the orcs.
Even to the point of hating and harassing the existence of the ‘half orc’, which caused such terrifying damage at that time, even if only the characteristic fangs were shown.
“Of course, our orca is a precious child born of the love of her mother and father, but her mother and father are afraid that the orca will be hurt by people who do not know that.”
“Isn’t it enough to say that I was born with the love of my mother and father?”
“Some very nice people will do that, but there are people who are not. Even if they know it, there are people who are not as easy as they want to be.”
But even though I said I could go out alone every day when I became an adult.
It was so unfair that I couldn’t do it because I was worried that I would get hurt when I became an adult.
I hated not being able to go at all because I was not sure.
“Um… But, traveling the capital alone is something I’ve always wanted to do when I grow up.”
“I don’t know if something bad will happen to me? Or together with my mother…”
“I hate that! I want to go alone!”
“Ha ha, if I knew an orca would grow up so quickly, she wouldn’t make such a promise.”
In the end, she said she couldn’t help it because it was a promise, and her mother gave her permission.
I smiled brightly and hugged her mom saying thank you.
Hee hee, I finally go out alone too!
