Chapter 140: Gifts

"Sig-san, I will hold the paperbag for you."

I said so to Sig-san as soon as we left the parlor.

"Hm? It's fine."

Right now Sig-san was holding Conny in one hand and the paper bag which contained the gifts we had prepared that Balth-san had asked him to bring in another hand.

Sig-san said he was fine but both of my hands were free so...

There was no need to go out of the way to put that paper bag in a magic bag since the distance wasn't that long. I was thinking I could help him carry the paper bag but Sig-san said he was fine.

"I will hold it for you then~ Sig, you just hold that boy tight in your arm, okay?~"

"Ah, thanks."

I was wondering what I should do since Sig-san refused my offer but then, Chris-san quickly took the paper bag from Sig-san.

Yeah, that's a smart move. If only I could do it like Chris-san too...

"Sig, am I not heavy?"

Sig-san adjusted his hold on Conny-kun, from one hand to holding the boy with both of his hands. Conny-kun then asked Sig-san that. His fluffy blonde hair was fluttering as he inclined his head to the side.

Uwah... Now that I take a closer look at him, this boy is really, really adorable... His eyes are round and his cheeks so pudgy. I can't wait to see what he looks like when he's all grown up.

"Hm? Now that you mentioned it... I like to workout so I'm fine but I think you've grown bigger than the last time I saw you, huh?"

"Yeah! I've become big, right? But Doris said I'm still small!"

What's that? Didn't Sig-san say the last time he visited was 2 months ago? Saying you've become big in just the span of 2 months... Isn't that too adorable?! I guess another kid called Doris-chan teased him because of that?

"I see, I see. Doris is a bit older than you after all. But don't worry, Conny. I'm sure you will become big in no time."

"You think so?"

Conny-kun tilted his head to the side at Sig-san's words again.

From the looks of it, Conny-kun must be around 3 or 4 years old. I guess it must be hard for him to imagine himself becoming bigger.

"Of course? Besides, if you become big too fast, I won't be able to hold you, you know? Are you fine with it?"

"No! I want Sig to keep holding me!"

When Sig-san said he wouldn't be able to hold Conny-kun when he became big, Conny-kun shook his head vehemently at the thought.

"Well if that's the case then... You need to take your time to grow big slowly, okay?"

Sig-san said so while stroking Conny-kun's head tenderly.

"Yeah! I got it!"

Conny-kun then nodded his head at Sig-san's words. Seeing the exchange between the two of them, I could see they were really close.

It seems like Sig-san is going to be a good father.

"You're quite familiar with things like this, huh."

Fer-san said so, looking impressed. He must be feeling the same way as me.

"Well that's because... I stayed here until I was 15 and even after I left the orphanage, I still show my face here once a month or every two months. The longest I didn't visit this place is maybe, about 6 months? Well, I guess I won't be able to visit this place as frequently as before from now on though."
