I’m the Future Crazy Male Lead’s Mother

“Sniffle. It’s all thanks to Axion that Miss. Celia came to her senses like this. Sob sob…..”

In the wake of kicking Elston’s butt out; following his recitation of this body’s black history and sending him back to the Wizardry Tower.

After soothing the crying Axion, someone else started crying.

This family’s butler, Grandfather Carl.

“Sigh. Miss. Celia, who refused to inherit the family business and only lauds the beauty of farming and works all day…..! How can you greet guests like this?!”

“…….”

“This grandfather even thought for a moment that the reason Miss adopted Axion, is it because you needed a hard laborer to work?!”

Was I that bad? Wow.

How much of a fanatic did I have to be that those words came out? I am once again sick of this body’s nerd power. 

“N-now I intend to focus all my energy on raising Axion. Let’s organize our farming schedule in the future.”

Otherwise, my life will end in 7 years.

“My world, now this grandfather won’t have any regrets even if I die. I get to hear from Lady’s mouth that you will cut back on the farming schedule!”

Each time I say something, oh Lord, I feel like I’m getting a headache looking at Carl, who is crying out to God.

I ignored him and got lost in thought.

My future will change depending on how I raise Axion.

If I raise him unhappily, it’s a terrible death, but if I raise him properly and healthily, there should be a happy ending.

Then from now on, my goal is to ‘raise Axion well.’ I’ll do my best! Very well!

I clenched my fists and shouted.

“Anyway! Axion comes first! Grandpa. Got it?”

“Yes!”

It was only yesterday when I said that confidently.

 The next day, I immediately ran into difficulty.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Oh dear, my baby, don’t cry.”

“Waaaah!”

“Sob sob….. Axiooon…. Boohoo…..”

It’s not easy to raise a baby. From day one, Axion couldn’t fall asleep and just kept crying, so the sky seemed bleak.

I’m worried that if the child keeps crying like this, something will go wrong….  Actually, that’s not true.

‘He has the protection of the demon dragon; how could anything go wrong.’

Rather than that, I felt anxious about whether he might hold a grudge about my inexperienced parenting and develop hatred for me. 

‘Am I accumulating the points one by one to go down that terrible route?’

After struggling with Axion for a while, I felt miserable as I dramatically collapsed next to him like a pitiful female lead.

“Miss, so let’s hire a nanny, I said.”

“No way.”

After a week had passed, Carl hinted that I should bring in a nanny, but I firmly refused.

In this world, it is considered essential for a noble family to have a nanny. Celia’s knowledge also said so. 

But I! I’m a Korean who, when watching a newborn baby on American TV being put to sleep in a separate room, thinks, “Oh my, how can!”

And the author of this novel is also Korean! As this is a novel written by an author who shares the same sentiments as me, there is a high possibility that that is another way of accumulating points to go down the terrible route.

‘Getting a nanny in this K-ropan [Korean romance and fantasy] novel.’

That’s even worse.

Traditionally, a nanny in K-ropan has been,

‘When the male lead is young, they abuse him in every way, brainwash his mind so that he only listens to them, and break up the male and female lead…..’

They take on that type of vicious role.

Caught up with this stereotype, I couldn’t easily hire a nanny.

“Waaaahh!”

“Sob sob…… sniffle sniffle….”

“Miiisss. Please don’t cry. If you cry, this grandfather will….. Sniffle…..”

I, who is carrying the crying Axion while crying myself and playing peek-a-boo, and Carl, who is crying watching me do so.

In my bedroom, which doubles as Axion’s room, the sound of music doesn’t stop.

After struggling like that for another week, I desperately thought about my hometown.

“Sniffle sniffle. If I was in Korea, I would have joined a Mom Cafe by now and asked about everything….’

Oop. Wait. Mom Cafe?

Why didn’t I think of that?

* * *

I collected a lot of childcare books through Carl, but they are just books of knowledge; they don’t contain parent’s know-how.

What I need is practical experience from seniors!

At dawn, when Axion went to sleep, I headed to the field behind the residence wearing shabby farming clothes and a straw hat and carrying a worn-out sickle.

“D*mn.”

As soon as I put a towel around my neck and walked toward the field, I started to feel vitality and energy.

As if I had just taken a few shots of coffee, my head became clearer, my heart started pounding, and my whole body was shaking as if I had received a gift….

The joy of a farming nerd.

Whenever I feel that nerd power, swear words come out of my mouth without me knowing.

‘A noble daughter stained with the joy of farming. How can there be a person like this?’

The place we are heading to now is a field owned by the viscount, but it is jointly managed by the local residents.

The concept is to lend the land and let them take what they raise on it, but when the viscounty needs workers, they should lend a hand.

However, it’s a place that I wasn’t interested in until recently because I didn’t have suitable work yet. 

There were quite a lot of people at the farm, even at dawn. Everyone was wearing shabby work clothes and a straw hat. The same attire as me.

I approached one person and spoke to them.

“Hello.”

“Huh? This is the first time I’m seeing this face, are you a newcomer?”

Some women who looked to be in their 40s looked up from the weeds they were picking.

“Yes. I’ve recently arrived at the Evanror viscounty. This will probably be your first time seeing me. Ha ha.”

“Aigoo. I see. You seem young, but you are working earnestly at dawn! Are you married?”

They, who looked like commoners at first glance, unhesitatingly asked the type of questions nobles definitely wouldn’t ask first. 

It would be uncomfortable for the nobles of this world, but for me, who lived among Korean adults who are even curious about how many spoons are in a stranger’s house, in fact, it’s a welcome question. 

Especially when I think about my plans for the future.

“Haha. Yes. I also have a child.”

“Oh my, a girl or a boy?”

“ A boy.”

The middle-aged women quickly flocked to me with bashful facial expressions.

 “Newbie’s skills are extraordinary! Look at the speed she picks weeds!”

I know well that this body’s farming skill is already at the max level, so I worked hard and pulled weeds.

It was only after hearing their cheers after showing my trick of pulling up root vegetables in one go that I nimbly brought up my purpose of coming here.

“Um, by the way.”

“Yes. Pretty newbie, speak, speak.”

“It’s just, I am currently raising a child alone.”

“Oh my! Really? It must be hard, aigoo.”

“Yes. But it’s my first time raising a child… As I said earlier, I just moved to the Viscounty of Evanror, so I don’t have any friends around me.”

At the unusual story, the ladies stopped pulling weeds and gathered around me.

Everyone had a pitiable countenance. 

“The child keeps crying, even if you soothe him he cries, sniffle. He cries without sleeping. I’m not even sure of the right way to change a diaper.”

The women nodded their heads and made sympathetic faces at my story. 

“It was like back then. Ah, you are a new mom. Our first child was like that, too. I also suffered a lot back then.”

“Right, right. When my child cried, I followed them and cried.”

Maybe she was tearing up remembering that time, but a slightly teary-eyed woman gently tapped my shoulder.

“Oh, if you’re not sure, ask us. We meet here around this time every day. At that time you don’t know anything and it’s difficult. And you can’t hire a nanny like the nobles. It’s like that for everyone.”

“Yes, yes. That’s good to do. We also like the newbie, let’s do it together!”

“Can, Can I do that?”

I’m asking with a shy face, but inside I’m black-hearted.

Hee hee. In the end, you fell for it. 

I made a ‘V’ with my hand where they couldn’t see. 

“Yes, of course! Yes. What is our new mom’s name?”

“M-my name?”

“Mhm. We’ll also take turns introducing ourselves.”

Looking at the women’s sparkling eyes, I swallowed my saliva.

Name! I didn’t think of a name!

“Uh, so, my name is….”

“Yes!”

“A-Akshonmom.”

“Huh?”

“My name is Akshonmom.”

At that, the women’s eyes widened. 

“Akshonmom? That’s a unique name.”

“Ah, yes. I came from the Eastern region. Haha.”

With the birth of the sub-character Akshonmom,

And the help of the women, Axion grew quickly.

As did my affection for Axion.
