Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

Chapter 57 Successful Delivery

The external inversion was completed without any major incidents, and Rudius breathed a sigh of relief.

Along with that came a sense of exhaustion, but thankfully, there wasn't much else to do.

Rudyus spent his days nestled in Senis's arms, checking on the fetus from time to time.

To prevent the unborn sister from performing a backflip and then experiencing another difficult birth.

Peaceful times fly by.

Not long after that, Senis gave birth.

Since Lilia was also pregnant, she went to call the village midwife to come and help.

The production process went very smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

But seeing a baby's head emerge from between Senis's legs still gave Rudeus quite a shock.

Hidden by clothing and the midwife, Rudyus could not see the view between Senis's legs.

This gave Rudius a slight sense of relief.

Even when he couldn't see Senis, and even when he had anticipated this situation, Rudeus would still follow his habitual thinking from his past life and try to discern her identity.

Rudeus would realize that Senis was still in her early twenties, which in Rudeus's eyes meant she was still a young girl.

At the same time, because Rudius had already accepted the fact that Senis was his mother, this voyeuristic imagination stirred up a slight feeling of nausea deep within him.

The nausea wasn't intense, but it was unusually profound; just thinking about it could trigger a physiological reaction that made you want to gag.

Rudius felt his rationality being swept into the perspective of the flesh, triggering a rejection reaction at the genetic level.

However, after actually seeing the scene, Rudius felt that all his emotions had been extinguished.

The moment Rudeus saw Senis appear before him, he regained his composure.

There is no longer any thought or fantasy about sex.

But what followed was the truly awe-inspiring moment.

There is a child's head there.

Between Senis's legs, a baby's head emerged—

Rudius felt a strong sense of detachment; his preconceived notions and expectations could not correspond to the scene before him.

As if watching a surreal scene, Rudeus felt his consciousness seemingly detached, his soul floating in mid-air watching the image of Senis giving birth on his retina.

The soul drifted out of the body.

Rudius's soul could not face the scene of this birth, and only dared to watch the "broadcast" on his retina.

A single Chinese idiom can perfectly summarize Rudius's current situation.

Lord Ye loved dragons, but he was terrified of them.

Rudius felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end, sensing a slight stress reaction.

Fortunately, it gradually calmed down after about ten seconds.

The most realistic scene gave Rudeus an unusually unreal experience.

Rudius suddenly understood why some men would go to the delivery room to be with their wives while they were giving birth, only to be so frightened that they burst into tears.

Without the relevant knowledge and psychological preparation, this is really hard for "civilized" modern people to accept.

Newborns are a sight even rarer than the dead.

You can wander around the funeral home as you please, but you really can't go into the delivery room.

Rudeus cast healing magic on Senis after she gave birth.

Then he picked up a towel, soaked it in warm water, wrung it out, and used it to wipe the sweat off Senis's body.

Exhausted, Senis smiled at Rudeus and gently stroked his hair.

The midwife placed the newborn, who had been properly prepared, next to Senis.

"Rudy, do you want a hug for your little sister?"

"don't want----"

Rudius is still unable to accept that "that thing" coming out from between Senis's legs is his own sister.

In his mind, Rudius was very clear that this was a new life, his own sister who was connected to him by blood.

"That thing" was just a feeling of detachment I had when I first met the other person.

However, Rudius did not want the concept of "sister" to overshadow his original understanding.

Rudeus then used his mindfulness awareness to actively block out his own perception, allowing the feeling of seeing "that thing" to remain.

A wrinkled face, tiny hands.

This hand looks as fragile as the claws of a sparrow I caught as a child.

It looks like a toothpick that can be broken at will.

Rudius looked closely at Noren, who was wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Noren Greirat, Paul and Senis's second child.

"Lilia!?" Paul's voice came from the side.

Rudeus turned his head and saw Lilia collapsing to the ground, clutching her stomach.

Huh? What's going on?

Was it premature?

Rudius was about to go and help, but then he froze.

This is Senis's most vulnerable moment. Since Paul and the midwife have gone, I'll stay here with Senis.

However, if it's premature.

Is it possible that Lilia will die?

Rudeus recalled the AI's advice.

After saying this, you might become "held hostage" by your own words.

Rudius stared blankly as Lilia was moved to another room with the help of Paul and the midwife.

"Rudy?" Senis called softly.

"Mom?" Rudeus snapped out of his daze and looked at Senis.

"Go help, Rudy," Senis said, ruffling Rudy's hair again.

"Mom, is everything alright?"

"Mom's fine, go quickly."

Rudyus looked into Senis's eyes and hesitated.

During this period, the mindset of always putting Senis first has become a habit.

At this moment, Rudius was even somewhat bewildered.

"Rudy," Senis said again, "go quickly."

"Um."

Putting down the towel in his hand, Rudius grabbed some more clean towels and walked towards the door.

Lilia's birthing process was much more "intense" than Senis's.

Paul, sweating profusely with anxiety, held Lilia's hand tightly, while Lilia called out Paul's name.

Although in hindsight, this should simply be the difference between first-time mothers and multiparous mothers.

Rudeus, who came to help, also unconsciously became involved, no longer viewing it from the perspective of an observer as before.

Aside from the initial shock, Lilia's delivery went smoothly.

Watching another newborn being born, the baby looked smaller than Norren, but also very healthy.

Fortunately, the whole family is safe and sound.

Rudius slowly let out a breath.

Having experienced the shock of Senis's childbirth, Rudius was able to observe everything with a calmer mind this time.

Life is truly amazing.

How could people come from somewhere?

Even if you already know the answer, questions will still arise, and then those questions will be shattered by the reality before your eyes.

That's how people come to be.

Mothers are great, aren't they?

Lilia and Paul's child, named Aisha Greratter, is Rudius's half-sister.

After the midwife had finished tidying everything up, Paul took her away.

Rudeus was casting a healing spell on Lilia when he saw Senis already standing at the door, holding Norn.

"Mom?" Rudius exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm." Senis responded simply to Rudeus and then walked towards Lilia.

Rudius noticed Senis's complicated gaze and stopped what he was doing.

Lilia's expression tightened, and Paul looked helpless beside her.

The air seemed to freeze with each step Senis took.

Senis quietly walked to Lilia's side, looked at the sweat on her face, and met her eyes.

"Lilia, you are already part of this family. I will not allow you to leave this family," Senis said firmly.

A brief silence.

With tears in her eyes, Lilia covered her mouth with her hand and replied, "Yes, Madam."

A soft sobbing sound was heard, and Senis turned to check on Lilia's child.

Rudius watched all of this in silence.

So, Senis forgave Lilia?

Paul grinned foolishly again and came closer, looking every bit the foolish father.

Rudius later realized that he must have looked foolish, and that expression was probably not something a child should have made.

But oh well, I really didn't have the energy to pay attention to those details at the time, so I'll forgive myself.

The two younger sisters, Noren and Aisha, are both growing up well, although Aisha is slightly smaller.

Logically, since everyone eats together, there shouldn't be any malnutrition.

Rudeus didn't know the exact time of Lilia's pregnancy. Although she seemed very healthy, he was still a little worried that Aisha might be affected by premature birth.

Looking back now, I realize that because Senis was breech, I had neglected to take care of Lilia.

Rudius sighed—"This is my own choice, there's nothing more to say."

Fortunately, the two newborns immediately began to make their presence known.

Rudius also joined the ranks of those helping.

Paul and Senis were soon driven to the brink of nervous breakdown by the newborn.

Only Lilia remained energetic, skillfully caring for the two babies.

There's no such thing as postpartum confinement in this world. After giving birth, you rest for a while, use healing magic to relieve the pain, and then go back to work as usual the next day.

Having a baby is just a tiring job.

Paul and Senis suffered from nervous breakdowns because they were constantly disturbed at night.

Rudius doesn't have this problem because he only helps during the day.

After all, you can't wake up your six or seven-year-old son to help you feed the baby at night.

The responsibility did not lie with Rudeus, so he naturally slept soundly with a clear conscience.

As for the baby crying in the next room at night, it didn't wake Rudeus up at all, though it slightly affected his sleep.

The family crisis was resolved after Senis forgave Lilia.

Their relationship was quickly restored, and they stood on the same side.

In response to Senis's complaints about raising children, Lilia remarked, "That's more like it! This is what raising children is all about! Master Rudeus's experience was far too easy! That kind of situation can't be considered real child-rearing!"

Under Lilia's guidance, Rudeus learned to change diapers very quickly. Basically, after Lilia's demonstration, Rudeus could do it very well right away.

Although babies may look fragile, they are not actually that fragile.

Could a baby really have a uterine wall that's only millimeters thick?

Once Rudius had this clear in his mind, he had nothing to hesitate or be afraid of when he took action.

The two strong laborers in the family were also freed up after the child was born.

With Senis and Lilia united against him, Paul didn't even have a chance to practice.

This put Paul, who had absolutely no say in these household chores, in a cycle of wanting to do them but being prevented from doing them, and being disliked for not doing them.

He could only stand aside, looking utterly pathetic.

Rudeus also used magic to help with laundry and cleaning, but these tasks were gradually taken over by Senis and Lilia.

Should we say Paul is enlightened?

There didn't seem to be any obstruction from male chauvinism.

They said boys shouldn't do these things.

Rudius always felt that everything went smoothly after his two younger sisters were born.

As the routine returned to his life, Rudy found himself starting to enjoy these little moments.

Even if his sister poops in a freshly changed diaper, Rudius will happily change it again.

Wow, the little thing can poop too, that's great!

Okay!

After you poop, you eat; after you eat, you poop!

Good bowel movements mean good eating, and good eating means good health!

When you're healthy, everything is good!

OK!

pull!

Rudius's lessons with Silphi have recently resumed.

During the period when classes were suspended, Silphi often went to Rudius's house to see him.

Seeing that Rudeus, who had been listless, had recovered, Sylphie was also very happy.

Furthermore, Rudius noticed that Sylphie's hair had also grown slightly longer.

Because she hated green hair, Silphie always had a very short tomboyish hairstyle.

Rudius thought that girls should at least have short hair that reaches their ears to look good, and if they could have short hair that reaches their shoulders, they would look even more gentle.

In the original work, after getting married, Silphie had a hairstyle that was a little longer than shoulder-length short hair, with a bend at the shoulders, which made her look very gentle and graceful, and gave her a very motherly feel.

But even though Rudeus told Sylphie that he hoped she would grow her hair long, it didn't really matter.

What has blinded you?

Why wasn't it discovered?

Even though they didn't see each other every day during this period, Rudeus and Sylphie still met frequently.

Now, looking back at Sylphie, Rudeus realized that he hadn't just overlooked Lilia.

During this time, Rudeus did not teach Sylphie any new knowledge, but simply instructed her to practice more using the same methods as before.

In the development of the laundry magic, Hilfi also spontaneously provided Rudeus with a lot of help.

Afterwards, he would always come and help Rudius with his laundry.

It quietly accompanies me as I contemplate things and interact with AI.

Did I make you worry again?

Reaching out to touch Sylphie's hair, Rudeus feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Wow, Sylphie, you've grown your hair long!"

"Mmm~" Hilfi replied softly, her face flushed.

"Now Sylphie is even cuter," Rudeus teased deliberately.
