The wind had calmed down, the baby was no longer crying, and the void was right behind me, but was still.
The serene atmosphere felt a little strange to me, considering how chaotic it was just moments ago.
The baby opened its eyes just a silver, revealing its light blue eyes. The baby took a look at me, making me feel a little awkward.
My foot took a step forward, bringing me right next to the pedestal.
"...Do you want to leave?"
The baby turned its head to the side.
I guess it was bold to assume it already knew how to understand language.
The baby nodded.
...Ah, did the baby understand what I said?
"Do you understand me?"
The baby nodded again.
Huh, I guess it did learn the language... somehow.
My eyelids rapidly blinked.
I was at a loss on how to pick the baby up.
My hands tried to pull the baby up by the shoulders, but then it started crying.
In a panic, my hands let go of the baby and it fell on its back, hitting the pedestal. The baby glared at me.
