I Am Raising a Daughter in This Life chapter 2

I really won’t give you affection

Rize, 0 years old.

It was my first time raising a child.

However, I could tell that this child was unique without having to compare it with other houses.

This Lizée didn’t cry at all.

Even when he was hungry, when he fell asleep, when he had a bowel movement, whatever dissatisfaction he had, he only made a slight grumbling sound.

It’s as if I shed all the tears that day.

Everyone who saw the child not crying and only whining quietly said that they were envious.

I’m not really sure if it’s that good though.

“Yes, is this a hero even when young?”

When I said that while stroking the child’s cheek with my finger for no reason, he smiled bashfully at what was so good.

If you look at it objectively, he was a really cute kid.

When I saw the picture of the child’s mother, it was obvious that she would grow up to be a beauty.

But that fact didn’t mean much to me. As long as this child cut off my fate, nothing else mattered.

Ah, it was very nice to stay still no matter how much I moved while holding it.

It was because it was so important to lay the foundation that we couldn’t prioritize children now.

It was quite fast just to go to the milk chest every now and then.

If the child grows up well on his own, he will go to work quickly.

“Grow up quickly and become a hero. That’s why I brought you there.”

With the hope of becoming a hero as soon as possible, I endured through the day.

Rize, 1 year old.

The child spoke for the first time.

“ah… … pretty… … .”

I don’t remember ever saying daddy while looking at my child, but this kid looked straight at me and said that.

There have been times when people have called me the father of a baby or introduced me as a father to people… … It did feel a bit strange.

“Hee hee, Dad… … .”

What’s so good about it, the child struggled with both hands and laughed.

When I inadvertently brought my finger, the child’s soft little hand grabbed it tight so that I wouldn’t miss it.

warm warmth.

I felt something tickle in my chest when I saw the child’s eyes looking only at me.

It was a subtle sensation, as if a drop of water had fallen on a dry desert, but it wasn’t too bad.

But that’s all.

There was no further impression.

* * *

Shortly after speaking, he began to walk.

A child who only crawled until recently is now walking.

Should I say it’s really strange?

“dad. dad.”

The child said so and slowly approached me.

It was still precarious because it was the first step, but I took one step at a time with my own strength.

Yes, you have already started. Come this far with your own strength.

Since you’re a kid who’s going to be a hero, this should be as simple as that, right?

Still, I was preparing to greet him with slightly open arms.

little bit more… … .

“… … !”

At that moment of staggering, I hurriedly jumped up and took Rize in my arms.

The child, whether aware of my concern or not, was smiling while completely entrusting herself to me.

“Be careful!”

When I raised my voice in surprise, the child widened his eyes.

“No, because if you get hurt, you can’t… … .”

Yes, a future hero shouldn’t be hurt by something like this.

He added awkwardly and promised to hold my hand at least next time.

Rize, 2 years old.

“Dad, is this Gonmo?”

Rize, who was able to speak to some extent, actively showed various curiosity.

“This is an axe. It is used to split trees like this.”

“Axe? Why are you tree-eyed?”

“I can light a fire with this to keep my house warm.”

“Boolean?”

He called me by stomping his short feet to see what he was so curious about, and he asked a series of questions.

Still, if you tell me once, you won’t ask twice, so my memory and understanding were not good.

As much as that, the things I had to tell them continued to increase.

It was a great advantage to be able to answer without hesitation because I had accumulated miscellaneous knowledge because I had lived my life many times.

It was kind of fun to tell something like this.

the problem is… … It was Rize’s overflowing energy.

“Rize, let’s go a little slower. I will fall.”

“yes!”

Saying that, I held out my hand, and Rize smiled and took my hand right away.

At the same time, the pulling power was already unusual.

Is it a sense of heroism?

After being led here and there by Rize’s hand, he ended up going on a picnic.

Even there, Rize’s curiosity knew no bounds.

Rather, they excitedly started asking questions about plants they had never seen before.

I came out on a picnic to do this, so I was really grateful.

“Dad, Dad, is this Gonmo?”

“This… … Lapischo. It’s good to crush and apply when you need to hurt.”

“Aha, are you going to stay at Gurum?”

“You can’t eat it.”

In the end, I started to explain excitedly at the bright appearance that was not suitable for my age.

“Igon, Raspberry! Can I stay?”

“see. Well, this is similar, but different. Is the shape slightly different? You can eat it, but use a little.”

“write? It’s because I wrote it.”

“hahahaha.”

Lize will need these various experiences to grow as a hero.

As a hero anyway.

that makes me comfortable

Rize, 3 years old.

bought a ball

At first, I just chased what was rolling, but soon I got pretty good at it.

Cuckoo!

No, it’s too full.

The ball that was about to fly out of the fence was thrown with all my might, and I managed to catch it and throw it back to Rize.

“Wow, jjamita!”

Rize stretched out her arms and said that, then kicked the rolled ball again.

I had no choice but to throw myself again to prevent it from going over to the neighbour’s house. It became a form of play.

Originally, I bought it to play with it alone, but now that it’s like this, I have no choice but to accept it.

Thinking that this was also to improve Rize’s stamina made me happy.

“fun?”

“huh! Have fun!”

“Will Daddy kick it now?”

“Ricega jablae!”

When I suggested switching roles, Rize jumped up and really liked it.

“Now, then, Dad will be kicked, so should we catch him?”

“Yeah, hurry up!”

As I put the now familiar words into my mouth, this time instead of throwing the ball, I dropped it at my feet and kicked it lightly.

Rize quickly caught the ball rolling in front of her with both hands and threw it at me.

From noble mtl dot com

Oh wow, really good power too.

He caught the ball flying as hard as he kicked it and kicked it again.

I really have no choice but to play.

Also, at first glance, I heard that you have to play well when you are young to be healthy.

A future hero shouldn’t be weak, so it’s only right to play around at times like this.

I handed the ball to Rize again with a quite amused heart.

* * *

Rize, 4 years old.

I started learning letters.

I’ve been interested in it for a while, but it’s the first time I’ve taught it properly.

oh my god.

Rize learned the letters as easily as drinking water.

Considering his age, his learning ability was unbelievable.

It was to the point of being colorless to write a full page to memorize, so it was my job to get the right handwriting.

Still, seeing Rize write with care and clearness without much complaint, I naturally smiled happily.

Wouldn’t this be enough to call me a genius?

* * *

I had some free time so I went on an outing to the big city next door.

He came to get equipment to start another job, but as soon as he left, he decided to enjoy sightseeing with Rize.

“Dad, Dad, there are so many people!”

Seeing the sight for the first time, Rize opened her eyes wide and was intent on observing the surroundings.

I couldn’t hold her by just holding her hand, so I had to walk around the city holding her in my arms.

Although it was a bit difficult, carrying a child like this was a new experience.

It seems that the everyday things that he saw in his repeated life were quite new fun to Rize.

“Daddy daddy!”

“what’s the matter?”

“Hey, I can’t see you.”

“Okay, would you like a ride on my shoulder?”

I suffered a little more.

Rize was having a lot of fun, so I was also satisfied.

This kind of trip should also create opportunities often.

* * *

Rize caught a cold.

Ai, who was naturally healthy, had never thought of such a case.

Maybe it’s because I had too much fun on my last trip?

I don’t know why, but seeing Rize, who always ran around energetically, was lying on the bed, I felt uncomfortable.

“New fluid… … . New fluid… … .”

His brow furrowed at the sound of his heavy breathing.

She put a cold towel on her hot forehead and started wiping Rize’s arms and legs, hoping that the fever would go down at least a little.

I know how to make an effective medicine, but I don’t have the right ingredients right now.

That said, I couldn’t leave the sick Rize behind.

Why didn’t I prepare it right away?

He must have known better than anyone that it was difficult to find medicine in a secluded village.

“… … dad… … .”

Are you talking in your sleep?

Rize was calling me with a weak voice.

What can I do now for this child?

Is there anything I can do

After thinking about it for a moment, he held Rize’s small hand.

How nice it would be if we could share the pain in this way.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but Rize’s expression seems to have softened a little.

please get well soon

* * *

Rize, 5 years old.

I changed my job to a mercenary.

It was an inevitable choice because I needed a lot of money.

Naturally, Lize was a little anxious because she was alone at home for a long time, but instead, Lize was confident.

It was the best I could do to leave home early and get home from work as quickly as possible.

“and! It’s Dad!”

snap!

When I return home, Rize always runs like this and hugs me.

It was a strange feeling because it had been a long time since someone greeted me like this.

After I stroked Rize’s hair once, I also wrapped my arms around Rize’s back.

“okay. Were you nice?”

One day, for no reason, I hugged Donghae face to face, and since then, this has become a daily routine.

It didn’t feel too bad.

* * *

I got hurt a little.

Not Rize, but me.

It wasn’t that he was directly hit by someone, but his forehead was only slightly torn from being hit by flying shrapnel.

It was my mistake, no one to blame.

His reaction was delayed, perhaps because his body had not yet been fully trained. I should have paid more attention to that, but I was a little complacent.

The torn part was on the forehead, so as expected, a lot of blood came out.

Even after roughly stopping the bleeding, there was no sign that it would stop, so I went home.

I knew Rize would be a bit surprised.

“Huhhh! Daddy… … !”

Isn’t it like crying sadly as if the world is about to leave?

I couldn’t help but panic.

Let alone when she was a baby, Rize never cried even when she grew up.

Even if something sad happened, even if I read a sad storybook, even if I got hurt, all I could do was cry, and I couldn’t show proper tears.

I couldn’t even imagine that Rize would cry this much over my injured face.

“are you okay. Daddy doesn’t hurt at all. Don’t cry because it’s okay.”

I had no choice but to hurriedly hug Rize and pat her on the back to comfort her.

Rize cried in my arms for a long time, and I constantly tried to soothe her.

When was the last time someone cried for me like this?

Feeling the warmth of Rize in my arms… … I finally had to admit the tickling feeling in my heart.

I tried to ignore it, but I had to face it properly from now on.

“My daughter… … I’m sorry, Dad.”

* * *

Rize, 6 years old.

While I was gone, Rize started playing with the neighborhood kids.

I was worried that I would be bored while I was alone, but at least I was relieved.

I hope you get along well with your friends.

* * *

I fought with my friends

And proudly said that he had won. against three people.

How can my daughter be so strong?

It seemed that he had already occupied the position of head of the alley.

Aim for the best wherever you are.

* * *

Rize successfully performed a side spin.

After all, my daughter must be a genius.

* * *

Due to lack of funds, I increased my work for a few days, and naturally, my time with Rize decreased.

I just got depressed.

* * *

Rize, 7 years old.

moved

There was a monster commotion in the middle, but I stepped in and resolved it.

“Dad, great! cool!”

It was rather nice to be able to show my daughter a wonderful side.

Seeing the new house and the new city, Rize was very excited. I was glad that you seemed to like it.

I moved thinking about the future of Rize, so I was worried about what to do if I didn’t like it.

To commemorate the move to a new home, the two of them held a small party.

* * *

It was fortunate that Rize seemed to quickly become friends with the neighborhood kids.

It seemed that he hadn’t become the alley leader yet.

Still, there were more children than in the previous village, so it seemed a little more fun. I wanted to give some snacks to the kids next time.

* * *

What do you do when you come back from work?

Rize’s clothes and face were covered in flour and eggs, and the kitchen and living room were a mess.

“Dad, eat this.”

What Rize offered was indescribably bread-like items.

I think I remembered what we made together before and tried to copy it… … Still, it was the first dish my daughter ever made.

I should make today an anniversary.

I tried to keep one permanently as a souvenir, but I couldn’t win against Rize’s eyes, so I had no choice but to eat it all.

It was better than any other dish.

* * *

Rize, 8 years old.

I don’t know what kind of guy he is, but he confessed to Rize that he liked him.

I tried to split my butt right into your side, but I calmed down when I heard that Rize refused.

If there’s a guy who preys on my daughter, I’ll have to be prepared.

Even if it’s an 8 year old.

* * *

Learned addition.

Also, my daughter is a genius.

* * *

A family has moved in next door.

There are kids the same age as Rize, so we became close sooner than I thought.

The couple constantly praised our daughter, and I couldn’t control the corners of my mouth going up.

she is also my daughter

Rize, 9 years old.

Our cute daughter was healthy today.

“Dad, I want to learn a sword!”

“Not yet.”

“… … Why not?”

“Because it is dangerous. Rize is in big trouble when she gets her hands on something like this. got it?”

“Yeah, Dad… … .”

When he said it firmly, Rize nodded, but he couldn’t hide his sullen expression.

It hurts my heart, but it’s not okay.

* * *

It was an unusually thunderous night.

Perhaps uneasy, Rize came up to my bed to sleep with me.

Even though Lize had grown up without realizing it, seeing things like this made me think that she was still a child.

don’t worry. Dad will protect you.

* * *

I bought Rize’s clothes.

After all, it was a big deal because it went well with anything, but my daughter bought all the things she liked.

* * *

Rize was cute.

* * *

“Dad, ah.”

Saying that, she accepted and ate the apology Rize offered.

It tasted more special.

“Rize too, ah~.”

Been messing around like that for a while.

I rode a horse with Rize.

Rize was cute today too.

I kissed Rize on the cheek.

I got a kiss too.
