Chapter 14

Rozenbach smashed the potato back into the pile of snow and quickly darted away. His heart was still beating fast from the shock. He might have found the potato cute if it had not frightened him with the sudden change of events. What really shocked him the most, was the potato calling him 'mommy'!!!

Suddenly sounds of wailing that similar to a newborn came from the pile of snow. "Mummy!"

"I'm not your mother!" Rozenbach answered. After hearing that, the baby potato cried even harder.

Tea Cake jumped away from his shoulder and landed on the ground, hurrying straight to the buried potato.

"No! Tea Cake, come back!"

Grace patted his shoulders. "It's okay. Snow Potato is safe."

... Stop laughing! Your body was shaking too hard and your face twisted in a weird way!

"Sorry, I did not know it would be so quick to wake up, it must be very strong. Queen Yuuko is really nice to give you this potato."

Rozenbach did not really care about that. He just wanted to know why he was called 'mummy'?!

"Is it because I was the first one that potato saw when woke up? That's why it called me... mummy?"

Grace nodded. "That's what happens to most newborns." She had personally witnessed some newborns wrongly recognizing their mothers as the first one they saw. It took some time before those babies finally recognized their real mother.

"Miss Rozie! Snow Potato is so cute!" Tea Cake, in her human form, had dug out the potato. It was even larger than before, the same size as Tea Cake's palm.

The potato had stopped crying after it was dug out and was currently wiggling two long roots that had grown out from the sides of its body. It seemed that the roots were acting as its arms.

"Mummy, mummy!"

Can someone help teach this potato how its mother should look like?

Bobolander walked over to the potato and poked its body with a stick hand. The potato let out 'kikikiki' sound as its body trembled. Finding it fun, Bobolander poked it again, and the potato repeated the same 'kikikiki' sound.

"Waffle, come and try too!" Bobolander excitedly waved Waffle over.

"Oh no, don't do that to the baby." Grace immediately stopped Bobolander. "It can't handle too many sensations."

"Snow Potato needs snow to grow?" Waffle asked curiously.

Grace nodded. "Queen Yuuko specifically informed me of how to take care of Snow Potato. For now, it needs to hibernate in the snow."

"Tea Cake," Rozenbach called and continued on in a ruthless tone. "Stuff that potato back in."

"Waaah!" The potato cried... but why did Tea Cake join in the crying too?!

"Miss Rozie, how can you do that to your firstborn?"

"Pfft!" Grace couldn't continue restraining herself and burst out laughing.

"Tea Cake," Rozenbach said through his gritted teeth. "That is not my child."

The potato quieted down and sniffed pitifully with its small dark eyes staring at Rozenbach as if he had wronged it. Tea Cake also stared at him as if he had just told her to kill the potato.
