 Agatha's POV
 
 I was indeed surprised by Ferdinand's decision to choose to resign from his decent job. As a CEO, of course, it won't be easy, especially since I don't even think about working. In the past, I was only good at hunting and doing normal housework.
 
 I saw Ferdinand who has now chosen to become a fruit seller at the market. He didn't come home all night, he said, preparing himself at the market to sell tomorrow. So I'm home alone for the night.
 
 *
 
 The next day I was ready to go to the market. I want to see how Ferdinand, who was previously a CEO, is now a fruit trader.
 
 I saw that a lot of Ferdinand's merchandise had also run out. I told him to go home but he refused and wanted to go home at eleven. I also accompanied him to the market. I feel comfortable being able to stay close to Ferdinand. I can also continue to be with Ferdinand even though he is working.
 
 "Agatha, you know that when I decide to become a trader, my salary won't be as much as when I become CEO, right?" Ferdinand asked suddenly.
 
 I smiled too. Living in the human world is very different from my previous life. Here money is considered very valuable.
 
 "Yeah, I understand. Do you think I should work too to help you?" I replied.
 
 Ferdinand shook his head. "No need. I will focus on making money for you and our children. So you have to calm down, being a pregnant mother."
 
 I nodded my head.
 
 Exactly at eleven o'clock, the market started to get a bit quiet. And now Ferdinand and I are walking home. I also took Ferdinand's hand.
 
 I also told Ferdinand to go home first while I wanted to shop at the greengrocer who happened to be in front of my house.
 
 "Eh, did you hear that the son of the person at the other end went missing? Yes, I know he was a thug, but their friends said the man was eaten by a wolf. Oh, it's really scary. I've also heard that there were wolves there." here. That's why I also don't want to go home at night."
 
 "Yeah, it's really scary. I'm also scared if there are wolves in our village. Do we need to hunt them down and just kill them so they die?"
 
 "Who dares? I've never even seen a real wolf. Or could it be an imitation wolf? Or a werewolf looking for prey? Oh, I'm getting goosebumps."
 
 I swallowed my saliva hearing the chatter of the middle-aged mothers here. I've never even eaten humans while I've been here.
 
 "Eh, Mrs. Agatha, what do you want to shop for?" asked one of them.
 
 "Want to buy vegetables, ma'am."
 
 I just answered modestly and went straight home instead of getting lots of questions from them.
 
 When I got home I saw Ferdinand had just finished showering. My feelings are pounding.
 
 "Agatha, what's wrong with you?" he asked.
 
 "I heard from the ladies who were buying vegetables that someone at the end of this village was eaten by a wolf. They even thought they were going to kill the wolf. You've never eaten humans here, right?" I'm just checking with Ferdinand.
 
 Ferdinand smiled at me. "You know that I eat at home. And all this time I've always been busy working."
 
 "I'm just afraid they will be suspicious of us."
 
 "Therefore, your attitude must be normal! If you act as if you are guilty then you could be suspected. It is better for you to act as normal as human beings can."
 
 What Ferdinand said is true. If I worry it will make people suspicious. Then it will make them suspicious of me.
 
 *
 
 Time goes so fast.
 
 I just gave birth to my three children. They are all healthy. I gave birth assisted by the village midwife. I didn't have time to go to the hospital because it was very urgent. Moreover, when I wanted to give birth it was also at night, so I couldn't help but give birth at home.
 
 "Wow, this is the first time I've helped a pregnant woman give birth to triplets," said the midwife.
 
 "Thank you, ma'am, because you have helped me. I also didn't expect to give birth safely," I answered. I was holding one of my daughters. Because after birth I saw two men and one woman.
 
 They all cried at the same time so I was also confused about what to do.
 
 "This is how I should breastfeed them all at once?" I was confused. Even though Ferdinand was beside me, I couldn't do much either.
 
"It's better for you to be helped with formula milk because it's impossible to breastfeed them all at once. And if there is another family who can help you care for them."
 
 That was the advice from the midwife. I also feel overwhelmed if I have to take care of them myself.
 
 After being helped to clean and take care of several things for the newborn baby, the midwife then said her goodbyes. I also saw my three children sleeping. Honestly, I still want to cry because I can't raise them myself.
 
 "Ferdinand, how should I take care of them? Especially if you have to go to the market later," I asked Ferdinand.
 
 "I'll help you later. But should we ask Helena for help too? She said she wants to help you take care of your three children," answered Ferdinand.
 
 "Yes."
 
 The day I gave birth to Ferdinand I didn't work either. Because he focuses on helping me to take care of my three babies.
 
 In the morning I fell asleep for a while. I heard my two boys crying. I immediately picked them up and breastfed them on the pillow I had prepared.
 
 They suckle quite vigorously. Before my two baby boys finished breastfeeding, my baby girl was also crying.
 
 Ferdinand didn't wake up hearing the sound of my baby girl crying. I called and there was no answer.
 
 Then the door opened and Helena entered. "Agatha, apparently you have given birth."
 
 "Yes, my baby girl is crying but Ferdinand can't hear. Can you hold her for a while because my two baby boys haven't finished breastfeeding yet?"
 
 Helena quickly picked up my baby girl.
 
 Ferdinand and I haven't had time to name our three babies. I can't call them by their names yet.
 
 I also didn't know that I would give birth so quickly even though as far as I knew my due date was still two weeks away so I didn't have adequate preparation.
 
 Honestly, I feel exhausted all day just breastfeeding the baby. I was also weak. After all, I felt I wasn't eating enough because I had been taking turns breastfeeding my three babies since morning.
 
 "Agatha, how about you give your baby formula milk so you can rest for a while," asked Helena. She is the one who accompanies me at home all day and looks after my three fruits every day.
 
 "Yes, I want that too. And the advice from the midwife too. I don't know when I should buy formula milk. Let Ferdinand buy the milk later."
 
 Helena also made me food so I could eat. But because my three children took turns crying, I didn't even have time to eat.
 
 I only rested after Ferdinand came home and brought formula milk. And they also want formula milk.
 
 "I'll go home first, okay?" Helena said goodbye.
 
 "Yeah, thank you very much, okay?"
 
 I spoke with Ferdinand and discussed the names of our three children. After getting three names, namely Edwin, Elvin, and Elvia. Edwin was my firstborn child, followed by Elvin and then Elvia. I think that name is also quite good for them.
 
 At night I heard the wind behind the house. I saw Ferdinand was also still asleep. I opened the window and to my surprise, it was my mother.
 
 "Mom, why are you here at night?" I asked.
 
 "Yes, I feel like you've given birth. I'm here to help you take care of your three babies."
 
 Actually, I'm also happy that my mother is here. But if I look at the past, I'm not too sure that my mother would sincerely help me without any strings attached.
 
 I also actually need help raising my three children.
 
 "Yes, ma'am. Please come in!"
 
 At night I invited my mother into the house. Coincidentally my baby was fast asleep.
 
 "They're sleeping, mom. So you can just rest first! I also gave them formula milk because I couldn't give them full breast milk."
 
 "Oh, yeah, no problem. There's a lot of them anyway."
 
 Because I was very sleepy, I slept next to my baby's crib. My mother sleeps in the guest room.
 
 In the morning I heard one of my children crying. I saw Elvia crying. I didn't see Elvin. Where's him? Are you with my mother in the guest room?
 
 I slowly opened the guest room door and saw that no one was there. Even the bed was neatly arranged there.
 
 I started to panic. Where did my mother take Elvin? While carrying Elvia I woke Ferdinand.
 
 "Ferdinand, Ferdinand!"
 
 Ferdinand just stretched. "What is it?"
 
 "Elvin is missing."
 
 "What?"
