"He's a warrior type," Austin replied, and even Mira's face had a look of complete shock before she swiftly overcame her surprise.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am," Austin replied, and Mira glanced down at the little guy curled up in his lap.
"I've never seen a warrior type that was so small."
"Me neither."
Aside from spirit beasts who were commonly seen slipping into the mortal realm from the spirit realm, there have been a couple of warrior-type spirits that caused havoc in the past as well.
However, none of them looked anything like the little guy sleeping in Austin's lap right now, which explained why Mira had been surprised earlier.
But since the little guy was nothing like the terrifying spirits she had heard about in the past, Mira decided not to dwell too much on it right now.
After all, It was far better to have a cute little spirit who saw her as a mother, than to have a monstrous one trying to slit her throat.
Pushing this thought aside, Mira decided to lean toward Austin so that she could pet the sleeping pumpkin. The moment she began to pet it, she was shocked to feel how soft his head was.
But not only that, even his cheeks were chubby and squishy as well.
It almost felt like she was touching a baby elf, and Mira didn't even realize that her lips had widened into a smile as her fingers lingered on the cute little pumpkin.
However, her gentle touch slowly stirred the little guy awake, so she had no choice but to cradle him in her arms and lull him back to sleep.
Once the little pumpkin had fallen asleep again, Mira looked up and asked. "So… what should we call him?"
"I'm not sure, but since he's a pumpkin, I'm thinking of calling him.... Little Pumpkin."
"Little Punkim?" Mira blinked in confusion.
"No, no... pumpkin."
"That name is too long. Let's just call him Little PP."
"What? Little PP?"
Mira nodded with a proud smile. "Yes. It's cute and very easy to remember. I like it."
"But…" Austin began, pausing mid-sentence before slowly lowering his gaze to where his little brother was.
'Wait a minute, isn't that name used for guys with tiny lances?' He wondered.
'Then, does this mean Mira thinks mine is puny?'
'No way.'
'There's no way she would think that, 'cause mine is definitely not puny.'
These were the thoughts that went through his mind as he stared absentmindedly at his little brother through his garment.
Meanwhile, Mira followed his gaze and her cheeks reddened instantly. "P-pervert."
"Hey! I didn't even say anything."
"But you were thinking of something perverted."
"Oh, but I wasn't. I was just wondering if you had decided to name him Little PP because you thought mine was… well, little."
"Huh? B-but I wasn't thinking about that."
"Oh, so you think mine is big?"
"I-I didn't say that."
"Would you like to see if it's little or not?"
"No…I'm not interested." Mira quickly turned her face away to hide her flushed face and twitching ears.
Austin chuckled softly when he saw this, and he wanted to tease his wife a little bit more, but he thought better of it when he noticed that Little PP was slowly waking up in her arms.
The little pumpkin stretched and yawned, then he blinked as he wondered why both Austin and Mira had been so loud.
But when he lifted his head, the little spirit noticed Austin and Mira smiling and staring at him, and a cute smile instinctively appeared on his lips.
The trio spent their time together until the maids arrived with a tray of snacks and tea.
Once they had eaten and were well rested, Austin watched as the little pumpkin walked toward Mira's wooden sword.
It turned out the little guy wanted to play, so Austin and Mira decided to play with him.
Hours passed by and Austin finally returned back to his bedroom as he plopped down on his bed with a groan.
'Ugh, I can't feel my arms.'
'Why did I train so much today?'
Austin couldn't believe that he had spent so many hours training, sparring, and even playing with the little pumpkin today.
Initially, he had planned to return back to his room right after he was done eating with his wife, but when Little PP wanted to play, he had no choice but to stick around a little longer.
Although he didn't expect their play to escalate into a new training and sparring session.
Mira had suggested they spar one more time, along with Little PP, because she found it adorable to see how enthusiastic the little pumpkin was about combat.
But to their surprise, Little PP wasn't just enthusiastic, he was actually experienced in combat.
That was when the reason why Little PP was actually a warrior spirit made sense to them.
After all, since he was a warrior-type spirit, it was expected that he would be knowledgeable in combat techniques.
Of course, Austin had expected this because he had seen Little PP's profile already, but Mira was even more surprised when she realized the little pumpkin had an elemental affinity that was similar to hers.
The moment she discovered this, Mira instantly extended their sparring session, and that was why Austin returned to his room so late in the night.
'Actually, if it hadn't been for Aunt Sue stepping in, we would have probably still been sparring by now.'
'I guess the stamina of a Third Order Exorcist isn't something to take lightly.'
'I can't wait to reach that height as well.'
'Anyways, I really had a lot of fun today.'
'Plus, a couple of my attributes increased today, so my sparring with Mira was definitely worth it.'
'I guess I earn more points if I train with my wife rather than training alone.'
'Hmm, I wonder if I'll receive a similar benefit if I train with Little PP alone.'
'I guess I'll have to wait and find out later.'
'But for now, I just want to sleep.' Austin sighed in his thoughts as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, the next morning....
Lina could be seen sitting quietly in her room with her breakfast placed in front of her.
She was currently ready to eat.
So why was Austin resting his head on her lap?
