New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

"Gobma!!! Bai baiiii!!!" Little Han waved his chubby hand happily as he was carried by the tiny Amihan. They were sending Celeste off who especially came out late in order to prepare as much as she can to help Amihan to care for Little Han.

Celeste had already changed Little Han's diapers and cooked his food for a day. Now Amihan only had to take care of Little Han and feed him throughout the day. Of course, Celeste was still too reluctant to leave the two behind however she tried her best to teach Amihan the basics.

Amihan was the newest to become a guardian assigned to Prasinos and unlike the four of them, Amihan was created with a childlike personality and stature. And so all of the four guardians looked out for her and were a little more lenient with her than Zale who was also a fairly new guardian.

"Send a signal for me if you ever had trouble alright?" Celeste waved them goodbye before finally disappearing through a portal.

"Umm!" Amihan nodded meekly, positioning Little Han more securely in her arms.

Soon, it was only the two of them who were left in the realm and so the two stared at each other, not knowing what to do again.

"Gobma… gobma~~" Little Han seemed to have been accustomed to Amihan's silence and so unlike how he usually behaves towards the adults, he was the one who initiated the interaction with Amihan.

He pointed towards the plushie playground and crawled briskly.

His bones were already well-nourished, thanks to the help of the mermaid's cradle during his early years, the guardian's doting, and everyone's care in the earthly realm. However, Celeste was actually worried as to why Little Han was not yet able to show signs of learning how to stand and walk.

According to her research, human babies could already learn standing as early as eight months, but Little Han was already a few months away from turning one year old. But Zale assured them that there was nothing wrong with Little Han's body and everything was fine.

Amihan watched Little Han as he cheerfully crawled around the plushie playground. She on the other hand slowly followed him with her eyes not leaving Little Han for a moment. Celeste reminded her to look after Little Han and ensure that he would not be hurt or be uncomfortable when the rest was not around.

And so, her way of doing so was to silently watch the little guy do his own thing while she would be there whenever something was up.

"Gobma… gobma~~~" Little Han finally stopped on a certain pastel box that was designed in a way that is attractive to little children.

He raised his hand and tried to mimic his Godpa Ignis when he called someone to get near him. But it turned out in such a way that he was just opening and closing his palms over his head.

Amihan was puzzled but seeing Little Han's cute expression she approached him and squatted just in front of him to figure out what he wanted to do.

"Gobma…" Little Han saw Amihan not planning to do anything but watch him and so he called her out again and used his hands to tap the box in an attempt to draw his Godma's attention to the pastel box.

"...You want me to open it?" Amihan asked Little Han, feeling a bit unsure.

"Aye!!!" Little Han responded in a lively way, there was unmasked anticipation in his eyes.

Amihan then opened the basket and saw the new toys that were given by Celeste to him the last time.

The moment Little Han saw the contents of the box, he squealed in delight and excitement, "Weeeeee!!!"

Amihan figured out that Little Han liked the toys inside and so, she carefully took them out one by one and neatly placed them on the mat letting Little Han see everything clearly.

Little Han excitedly clapped his hands and took his new favorite toy - the shape sorter.

He took the sorter and gave one shape to Amihan before he took the heart shape and placed it inside as if trying to demonstrate to his Godma how to play.

"Hihi!" His eyes looked proud when he placed the block inside the slot and he looked at Amihan anticipating how she would do hers.

Amihan followed Little Han's movement, she had a triangle-shaped block and simply placed it on the triangle slot without difficulty.

"..." Little Han was shocked when he saw how Amihan did not even struggle to place her shape.

And so he took the square shape and hastily placed it in the slot. He did it in a single attempt!

"Heee heee…" He giggled again while he looked at Amihan as if he wanted her to execute her next move.

"..." Amihan blinked in confusion, why does she feel that Little Han was actually challenging her over a simple shape sorter?

But then she took the rectangle and placed it on the slot, again without showing any difficulty.

"Eeeeee!" Little Han's eyes widened in shock… He has found a competitor! His Godma Amihan was good at playing shapes!

"HAuummmp!" He harrumphed like a little old man and determination flashed in his eyes. He was feeling on fire as he saw that his opponent was good and hard to deal with.

He pumped his tiny hand into a fist and took the circle block.  His face was saying that he will not let himself lose in his favorite game.

Tak! He had once again successfully slotted the circle in the sorter in one attempt. But this time, he did not celebrate as his eyes looked at the last slot and Amihan. His face was dead serious as if his life depended on Amihan's next move.

"???" Amihan was really confused by Little Han's actions. She thought that Little Han was starting to get bored with playing the sorter and was now in a low mood.

'I shall finish this fast then so that he can play another toy…' She thought as she speedily picked the star shape which gave Little Han a hard time when he first played this with his Godma Celeste.

Tak! Amihan need not twist and turn the star-shaped block. Instead, she just took it and placed it in the sorter in a smooth manner.

Dun dun!!!

Little Han's expression froze as his mouth was left open… he lost. Godma Amihan is a champion in shape sorting!!!

"Aaaaaaahk!"

Like a defeated fellow he placed his hands on the ground, still in disbelief that someone beat him to his favorite game.

"Sniff… Sniff…" Slowly, his vision turned blurry and tiny beads of tears started to fall into the mat. "Uwaaaaaahhh…" He cried woefully, it was like he was deeply broken-hearted over what happened that he could not contain his sadness and disappointment.

"Ahh…" Amihan was startled as to why Little Han suddenly cried. She immediately went near Little Han who was already lying on the mat like a hopelessly defeated gentleman that was beaten in a game of… shape sorting.

"Don't cry… Godma is here…" Amihan used her little hands to carry him into her embrace as she hugged him comfortingly.

"Boohooo…" Little Han cried and hugged his godma, as he accepted her warm comforting hug.

"Hush… it's just some toys… let's have another fun game to play… C'mon… let me show you something nice!"

"Sniff… Aye…" Little Han looked at her and tried to dry his face from tears.

Then Amihan used her magic to let Little Han float in the air. Then she transformed into a pure white bird, it was totally different from her initial manifestation of a red velvet cockatoo during Eli's visit to the guardian realm.

"Waaaaah!!!" When Little Han saw Amihan's transformation his eyes widened in amazement.

She had strong silky feathers that were shining bright and clean. Her eyes were round and dark but they looked at him with a gaze full of kindness and gentleness.

"I'll take you to fly up in the air!" Amihan's voice echoed even though the bird's beak did not open an inch.

Instantly the magic that was carrying Little Han slowly moved to sit on Amihan's back. A white light turned into a hood and a harness for Little Han's protection from gravity and wind resistance.

"Ji heee heee!!!!" Little Han was now grinning happily as he touched Amihan's soft and silky feathers.

He was so pleased with it that he bent down and hugged her large bird body. Because of the fluffiness of the feather, he was a little bit buried in her pure white feathers like he was laying down on a piece of cloud.

"Alright… get ready… we will go up now…" Amihan informed him as she gently flapped her majestic wings and started to fly.

"Waaaaaaaah!!!" Little Han excitedly shouted, it was a new achievement for him to fly up in the air while riding a big bird.

And so the two went aboard with a day of adventure, flying up in the skies of the guardian's realm.
