「I"m Having a Baby」So My Husband Told Me
My Dream is to be a Great Sorcerer

*****
The gentle breeze felt pleasant rustling by. They say time flies when you are raising a child, and true enough, the seasons have turned, with summer already just around the corner.
To think that this pleasant breeze will soon turn into a hot wind.
As I was looking out the second-floor window thinking such things, I felt a tug on my sleeve.
「What is it, Arthur?」
「Mama, uppies.」
「Yes, yes.」
A child's growth is rapid.
Just when I thought he had learned to sit up, he was already wobbling around on two legs in the blink of an eye.
Come to think of it, he will be one year old soon. I narrowed my eyes affectionately as I lifted my nephew, who had grown quite heavy.
It’s not that I don't feel any resistance to being called "Mama." It's just that explaining the truth to such a small child would be difficult, so I'm letting it be for now.
I intend to tell him when the time is right.
...Well, if it were 'Him'—Arthur without the pacifier—he would probably understand even now.
The reason we still keep the pacifier in his mouth is to seal him away. I don't particularly mind, but my husband gets grumpy whenever the personality from the previous life surfaces.
I assume it's because of his foul mouth, but I feel like there might be other reasons, too?
Because of this, Arthur has become quite skilled at speaking while clenching the pacifier.
However, I've heard that using a pacifier for too long can affect teeth alignment and speech development, so I really want to find a different sealing method soon.
By the way, we do remove it when he eats the baby food he has gotten completely used to. 'He' comes out during those times, but since he's busy eating, he can't talk much. So far, my husband's anger hasn't exploded.
I've never actually seen my husband explode with anger, but still, it's best if the first explosion never happens.
Also, 'He' says whatever he wants to our capable butler and maids without holding back.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one can raise a hand against a baby, he says whatever he pleases. It's quite a problem.
But personally, I find that side of 'Him' amusing. So, when it's just the two of us like this... (Pop) ...I sometimes take the pacifier out.
The baby looked blank for a moment, but immediately a smirk—which was borderline cute yet not—appeared on his face. It meant 'He' had arrived.
「Phew, good grief. Being a baby is exhausting. My head is huge and heavy, and I can't walk properly.」
「It can't be helped. Just a little longer... once you're around two, you'll be able to run more freely.」
「I don't need to wait for that to move around.」
The moment Arthur said that.
Whoosh. His green hair swayed.
Immediately after, Arthur left my hands... but instead of falling to the floor, he continued to float in that spot.
It was his 『Wind Magic』.
「That's impressive. To think you can master it this well already.」
「Well, I practiced!」
apparently, in his previous world, 'Magic' only existed in fairy tales.
He said it was a world where you couldn't create wind from nothing, start fires, produce water, or create earth golems. How inconvenient.
The first time Arthur used magic was a month ago.
It happened when he tried to run away while I was trying to put his pacifier back in after a meal.
Having learned to walk, he recklessly attempted an escape. But with those unsteady steps, there was no way he could get away.
Just as Alas was about to easily apprehend him, he shouted, 「I won't be caught!」 and at the same time, the wind swirled up and lifted his body.
At that time, even my husband honestly praised him, saying, 「Ho, to be able to use magic at this age.」
Although this is a world with magic, not that many people can actually use it.
「I am going to become a Great Mage in the future!」
「Yeah, good luck.」
「That sounded dismissive!」
To think he can't honestly accept a compliment; he must have been quite the contrarian in his past life.
Perhaps because he is happy to be able to use magic, Arthur has improved his skills rapidly. Since he can use magic, he can already be called a mage, and he could probably aim for it as a profession. I don't know if the "Great" part will attach to it, though.
As I was watching him happily using magic with a kya-kya laugh, I heard a knock-knock. When I turned around, my husband was knocking on the already open door.
「Oh, are you done with work?」
「It's a break time. ...Is the pacifier out again?」
「I am currently practicing magic... sir! Even if you are my uncle, I won't let you complain!」
Living together for over half a year, a lot has happened. Truly, a lot has happened... and 'He' has learned to use polite language with my husband.
It seems he finally learned that doing so allows him to avoid the pacifier.
「Well, fine. So? What are you doing with your improved wind magic?」
Hm? Why that question?
As I tilted my head, Arthur, still floating in mid-air, crossed his arms triumphantly and spoke.
「Well, obviously, when you think of wind magic, you think of that.」
「What is it?」
「I will show it to you first, Uncle, as a special treat. Please observe my Secret Technique: Skirt Flip!」
The moment the wind was about to blow as he said that.
Thwomp.
Arthur's mouth was stuffed with the pacifier... which is, well, only natural.
