“Actually, she’s not drinking much even when I breastfeed her. Priest, she’s my first child, and I don’t know what to do.”
“Is that so? That must be troubling. Please wait a moment.”
Cindy spoke to the nursing woman with a smile and then hurried over to where Kent and Josette were.
“Kent, Josette, I have no experience with childbirth, so I can’t help even if asked. What should I do?”
Cindy consulted them in a hushed voice, not wanting to cause the nursing woman any anxiety, while wearing a troubled expression.
“W-Well, I also want Kent’s child right away, but I have no experience giving birth. I don’t know how to answer if asked, either.”
Josette replied to Cindy with a blush.
“Breast Master Kent would know, right?”
“Who’s calling me Breast Master?”
“I’ve heard that you know many kinds of breasts, from large to small.”
“Th-that’s not true?”
Kent has touched many kinds of breasts, from large to small. Since Cindy wasn’t wrong, he couldn’t strongly refute her and replied while looking away.
“In any case, please examine her!”
“Whoa!”
Cindy grabbed Kent’s hand and brought him to the nursing woman.
“Priest, who is this person?”
“He’s a man, but please don’t worry. This is Kent, the Breast Master.”
“Breast Master?”
When Cindy brought Kent to the nursing woman, she became wary as a man suddenly approached her side.
“I’ll take care of the baby, so Kent, please examine the mother.”
“Breast Master Kent. I’m counting on you.”
Since Priest Cindy said so, the woman, although worried, decided that he would do no harm and bowed her head to Kent, seemingly resolved to be examined.
(Damn it, whatever happens, happens!)
“W-Well then, excuse me.”
Kent found himself cornered and ended up examining the woman despite lacking knowledge. For the time being, to avoid raising suspicion, he decided to lightly touch her chest.
“First, I’ll check how much breast milk is coming out.”
Saying that, Kent gently massaged her breast from the outside towards the center to see how much breast milk was flowing.
“As you said, the amount seems to be small.”
“So it is. What should I do?”
When Kent checked, only a small amount of breast milk dripped from the woman’s nipples, and it was clearly less than when he had massaged another woman’s breast to express milk before.
(If it’s like this, Al would probably know more, but I can’t do anything as a layman.)
“Changes in environment can cause stress, leading to less or no milk production. Also, perhaps we should prioritize taking care of a hungry baby first. Regarding the decrease in breast milk, there’s someone more knowledgeable than me, so I’ll ask them to examine you later.”
“Thank you. So changes in our environment due to evacuation are the cause. I suppose I’ll have to ask other mothers to share their milk with my child for the difference.”
Kent answered the mother within the scope of his knowledge and decided to have Al, who was knowledgeable about such matters, examine her breast milk production, thus exploring possible solutions.
“Come to think of it, I have something good. Could you wait a moment?”
“Y-Yes.”
Kent thought of a good idea and decided to put it into action.
“Josette, could you lend me a hand for a bit? Cindy, please keep an eye on the mother and baby.”
“Understood.”
“I don’t quite understand, but I understand.”
Kent entrusted the mother and child to Cindy and went out into the hallway with Josette.
“Um, I think it was under this category… ah, it’s here. I’ll order this. And gather the necessary items.”
“This is a microwave. And this is water. The rest are items I’ve never seen before.”
Kent took out a terminal and ordered the necessary items. Among them were things Josette recognized, but also things she had never seen.
“Well then, could you help me carry this into the room?”
“Understood. I’ll carry them in order.”
Kent felt bad asking a Duke’s daughter to do such errand work, but since there was no one else who understood the situation, he had no choice but to ask her. Josette accepted the errand with a smile, without any sign of reluctance.
“Kent, you’ve brought more things, haven’t you? What kind of things are they this time?”
“I believe they’re things that will help those having trouble with breastfeeding.”
Kent and Josette carried the ordered items from the hallway into the room.
“Alright, let’s begin the preparations.”
Kent said so, installed a portable solar panel outside the window, placed a large portable battery inside that could be used even during emergencies, and connected them with cables. This allowed the large battery to be charged via the solar panel during the day. He then connected a microwave and an electric kettle with a keep-warm function to it. He brought a desk that was placed in a corner of the room and placed the microwave and electric kettle on top of it. Then, he lined up bottled water, canned milk, baby bottles, and other items. He also placed a water tank for washing baby bottles, brushes, detergent, and a basin to collect wastewater from washing under the desk, completing the preparations.
“Okay, preparations complete.”
Items unfamiliar in this world were lined up in a corner of the room, and the women who came for breastfeeding watched Kent’s work with interest.
“First, I’ll wash one baby bottle and then put it in this container.”
Kent took a baby bottle from the desk and began washing it using the items placed under the desk. After washing, he placed it in the resin container.
“I’ll add a little water to this, put the lid on, and warm it in the microwave.”
Next, he put a small amount of water into the resin container, put the lid on, and began warming it in the microwave.
“Sterilization complete. I’m using this because it’s urgent this time.”
“Is this a juice carton?”
Kent then took out a small paper carton containing liquid. Josette, who recognized it from similar juice cartons in Marie’s Bakery’s refrigerator, asked Kent what it was.
“This is milk for babies. Once this is sterilized in the microwave and put into the baby bottle, it’s ready. Cindy, please give this to the baby.”
“O-Okay.”
After telling Josette what it was, Kent opened the carton and poured the milk into the baby bottle, then put the lid on. He then handed the baby bottle to Cindy.
“The tip of the container looks like a nipple, but will it really drink it? Well then, excuse me.”
Cindy went to the baby held by its mother and brought the nipple of the baby bottle to the infant’s mouth.
“It-it’s drinking.”
“Th-this is amazing, Kent, it’s drinking with tremendous speed.”
The baby latched onto the nipple of the baby bottle and began to drink the milk energetically. The mother watched her baby with a relieved expression, and even Cindy, who had half-doubted if it would actually drink, looked surprised.
“As expected of you, Kent.”
“Josette, you were right.”
Seeing the mother’s relieved expression, Josette happily hugged Kent. Naturally, her large breasts pressed against Kent’s body, and he felt a sense of bliss from their soft touch.
“So, Kent, you seem to have prepared various other things, but what will you do with these?”
“Ah, that’s right. Cindy, could you gather the staff in charge of this room?”
“Understood. Staffー!”
Prompted by Josette, Kent remembered that there was still work to be done and asked Cindy to gather the staff in charge of this room.
