第７５５堀：どんな時でも留守を守る者がいる (Part1)
### Chapter 755: There Are Always Those Who Guard the Home
**Side: Kirue**
On my call monitor, the flag of Weed flutters in the wind.
*"From this moment forth!! The Intercontinental Alliance is forged!! Peace is achieved!! Everyone present here is a witness!! Thank you!!"*
With those words, the audience erupts into a massive roar of cheers.
It is a historic moment.
"Hey. Mother Kirue. What is this?"
"There's a flag standing up."
For Princess Sakura and Princess Sumire, who were watching the scene from my lap just as I was, it is likely still too difficult to grasp.
"Princess Sakura, Princess Sumire, this is..."
...But I decided I would teach them properly.
Because this is something their mothers, and our precious Husband, have built by joining hands and coughing up blood to reach this point.
"This is, well... it is the moment when your father, Yuki-sama—who is also the father of Princess Eria and the others—and your mothers worked hard to create peace."
"???"
Beside me, Princess Eria, Princess Schans, Princess Yuyu, and my own daughter, Shael, are receiving explanations from Sasari, but they don't seem to understand either.
However, Princess Sakura and Princess Sumire seem to have caught the word...
"Peace?"
"Is it peace?"
"Yes. Peace. It is a very important thing that your fathers and mothers worked hard to build."
"Father is amazing."
"Papa is amazing, isn't he?"
"Yes. Our Husband. Your father is a truly incredible person."
To think that while the children are still so young, he has already created something that can be called peace...
No, it was a goal.
Every parent wishes for their children to live in a world without war; no parent wants their own child to engage in a life-or-death struggle.
And it has been achieved.
To be precise, peace is something that must be built from here on out.
However, I believe those watching this broadcast and those at the venue feel that this declaration is the very beginning of peace.
A grand coalition involving the 14 Great Nations.
There is no one left who would dare to make an enemy of this.
And behind it all is Weed, led by my Husband.
Since our country exists—a nation that could crush the 14 Great Nations even if they all turned against us—defeat is impossible. However, if that were to happen, we would be buried in the work of managing the world, so we must maintain this alliance at all costs.
It is for the sake of the citizens on the screen, who are expressing their joy at hearing of the dawn of peace.
Well, the immediate enemy is that Evil God called Aquenoque. A point of concern is that I don't know what the Kingdom of Seasypho is thinking.
Lately, between taking care of Princess Sakura and the others, setting up the venue for the intercontinental exchange, assisting with meetings, and training the maids working at those venues, I haven't been able to serve by my Husband's side very much.
The only time I really helped was recently, when I gathered Taizo-sama and the others for a meeting regarding the Kingdom of Seasypho.
Ah, no, I still prepare breakfast, take baths, and sleep together every day, of course.
It’s just that the opportunities to stand by my Husband or Shera-sama’s side during official duties have decreased significantly, which is a little disappointing.
That said, it is not that I dislike Princess Sakura and the others in the slightest.
Being entrusted with the care of the children also means being entrusted with the future of Weed.
It is proof of how much I am trusted.
*Nugugugu*, the desire to stand by my Husband and Shera-sama’s side and the desire to take care of Princess Sakura and the others are clashing within me...
As I was thinking this, my clothes were suddenly tugged from behind.
"Mother Kirue."
I turned around to see Shuten-sama, the eldest among the children.
Although she is an adopted daughter of Seraria-sama, she is treated no differently than Princess Sakura and the others.
She is like a daughter to my Husband and me.
Well, there is the reason that she is an *Oni*—a Shuten-doji—but that is a trivial matter.
She is a good girl, helps take care of Princess Sakura and the others, and commands respect as the older sister of the children.
Even while I was busy with the preparations for this intercontinental exchange, she watched over Princess Sakura and the others very well.
"What is it, Shuten-sama?"
When I asked, Shuten-sama shook her beautiful red hair and pointed in a certain direction.
"Yumi and the others are waking up soon. They need milk."
"Is that so? It is already that time."
Before I knew it, the clock had passed noon.
Come to think of it, the opening ceremony started at 11:00, so it would be noon soon.
"Milk!! Mother Kirue, if you don't hurry, Yumi and the others will cry!!"
"Yeah. Yuri-chan and the others will cry."
Having heard Shuten-sama, Princess Sakura and Princess Sumire immediately climbed down from my lap and tugged at my hands to go to Yumi-sama and the others.
They are such good, sisterly girls.
And it seems the others heard it too...
"Sasari... hurry and call the mothers, if there's no milk, Riyuru and the others will cry."
"That's right, we don't have milk, hurry!!"
"Shael. Let's go see Kikka and the others first."
"Yes, Sister Schans. That is a good idea."
"Wait just a moment, I'm standing up, so both of you get down. And you two over there, wait!!"
Sasari has it rough, too.
Fortunately, I only have two, so I will take one hand each and go.
"Hey, Schans, Shael. Don't leave Mother and the others behind. Come, go with Shuten."
"Yes, Sister Shuten."
"Together, Sister Shuten."
The two who had rushed ahead took Shuten-sama's hand and calmed down.
As expected of everyone's big sister.
Well, that aside...
"Sasari. Have you sent word?"
"Yes. I have already done so, so someone should be coming."
"I see. However, today is the busiest day. Let's prepare powdered milk as well."
"I wish we had two more pairs of breasts like yours, Senior."
"No, the amount I produce has been dropping lately, so it's difficult."
"Eh?"
"Don't be surprised. It's not a sickness or anything. I looked it up in a book, but breast milk naturally stops after six months to a year. As proof, Seraria-sama, Deryu-sama, and Eris-sama no longer produce milk, and Ratz-sama only produces a little, just like me. Ah, as an exception, Rulua-sama's milk still flows."
Well, since she is so large, her ability to produce milk must be high as well.
"Oh? Then, who is providing milk for Yuri-sama and the others?"
"Basically, it's Rulua-sama, who still produces milk, and Riel-sama, who is the mother of Riyuru and the others. They have the best milk production after giving birth to them."
"I just thought that since you were giving it to them, Senior, it would just keep coming."
"It comes, but the amount is small. Or rather, even if you don't produce any, Sasari, you still let them suck on your chest, don't you?"
"Ah, well, the children are cute, and when they beg for milk, I give it to them even if nothing comes out. Well, they let go of my mouth right away, though."
"Naturally. The children want to eat. If nothing comes out, they won't keep it in their mouths. Or rather, have you found a partner yet?"
Sasari has a surprising history of refusing night service on the grounds that my Husband is not to her taste.
No, it's not like my Husband asked for night service, but still, I think it's a bit much that Sasari is the only one without a sex life at night.
