At the Northern Fort

"I was looking for San Narcissi, but I found myself in the Lunar Forest. I wonder if San Narcissi is here."

Looking to the right, I saw a large "tree dome" a few meters away from the trees. Many trees are bent inwards to create a dome-like shape. There are also thin grooves that block the gap between the trees.

This dome, suddenly appearing in the woods, is Renavera's house.

I have been here several times, so I will not be surprised by this house again. There's an entrance and exit on the other side, so I'll head there for now.

The entrance and exit are holes in the form of arched doors.

Lunabeller!

As I tried to peek at the entrance and exit, a sannarcisis came out of the inside. San Narcisse is like a man, with blonde looks shining like royalty.

Milfilia. You still look peaceful today. Are you here to play? "

Huh? Did you just snatch my face between "Milfilia" and "Are you here to play"? No, did you praise him? Which is it, a peaceful face?

While wondering what to do about it, San Narcissi invites me in.

"Come on, let's go. Show Lunabella your face. Your peaceful face."

Which way? Which one was it?

Wrinkled between her eyebrows, Lunabella, who was sitting on the velvet sofa, smiled at me.

"Well, Milfilia! Thank you for coming."

There are probably more than ten tatami mats in this "wooden house". In addition to the purple sofa where Renavera sits, the furniture also features golden chairs used by San Narcisse and a large bed. These pieces of furniture appear to have been transported by San Narcissi from his residence using mobility techniques.

San Narcissi lives in a castle in a country called Geeland, so to be precise, this furniture is dedicated to San Narcissi by humans. I brought it here for Lunabella.

"Lunabella! How are you? You're getting hungry again!

Yes, actually, Lunabella has a child. The Spirit's gestation period is shorter than that of humans, and it is only about three months, so even though the pregnancy was discovered the other day, it seems that the birth is near.

Renavera is relaxing on the sofa with her hands on her weighty stomach.

"You're getting so hungry. How's it going?"

"It's okay, thank you. Sure, I'm very hungry these days, but it also helps me with my sannarcisis."

"Of course."

San Narcissi seems to be good at it by putting his arms together. San Narcissi brought the furniture here because he thought it would be comfortable for Lunabella to live during her pregnancy.

Incidentally, it was Woodbaum, the Spirit of the Tree, who created this "Wooden House". Before becoming pregnant, Renavera always looked like a cat and slept in the woods, but since she became pregnant, she couldn't change into an animal, so she couldn't get in the woods.

So San Narcissi took Lunabella to his residence, the castle of Geeland, where he lived for a while, but Lunabella came back here because she couldn't stand the flashy interior of the San Narcissi room.

But San Narcissi was still worried about living in this forest with nothing to live in.

Even though the rain wind will block the forest trees to some extent, I still want a house. There are only a lot of trees here, so do you want to make them with...?

"San Narcissi left the house? I can't do that.

No, let's do it! I'm perfect! I can do anything! Let's build a stunning mansion!

I can't!

When I saw Renavera desperately trying to stop her overconfident San Narcissism, I thought I was coming to see them. Won't Woodbaum be able to build a house that's enough to storm the wind? and.

Because when Woodbaum was at the northern fort, he was twisting trees, crawling vines, blocking doors, and doing clumsy things.

Well, that wasn't what he wanted to do, it was what happened when his powers ran wild.

But I called Woodbaum and introduced him to San Narcissi and Renavera, saying he would be more reliable than San Narcissi.

"You want me to build a house?

Yes, I have a baby in my stomach and I want to keep Lunabella from falling into the rain.

When I asked, Lunabella and Sannarcis also relied on Woodbaum.

I'm sorry about the first time I saw you. But if you can, it would be very helpful if you could build it. "

Thank you. I'll bring you anything from jewels to gold. "

I don't want to thank you.

Woodbaum made me feel less motivated when he said so.

If I can help you, I'll try. I'm glad Milfilia can count on the Spirit of Darkness and the Spirit of Light. "

So the dome of the tree was made, and Renavera began to live here.

"By the way, San Narcissi."

And I said, "What is it?" and looked down at us.

"San Narcissi, did you just come by the north side? I felt like I had a San Narcissistic attack."

"To the north fort? No, I didn't. I've always been here with Renavera."

"Yes, it is."

Sure, San Narcissi has been with Renabella since she got pregnant.

(But then, what was that?

Renabella laughs at me as I twist my neck.

"I'd like to go to the northern fort again. I'm sure I'll go when the baby is born. The knights over there are sure to play with the kids."

"Yeah, everybody would love that."

Everyone in the fort knows that Lunabella has it. But Lunabella hasn't come to the fort lately because she's been here ever since she got hungry.

They think the northern fort is a safe place, but they don't want to leave until the birth is over.

Speaking of childbirth..., I look anxious and ask.

"Lunabella, don't you have to bring your baby with you? It's not just about San Narcissi, it's about time."

What are you worried about?

Sannarcisis with an out-of-the-body expression. But I don't think San Narcissi can take the baby.

It's okay.

Lunabella explains in a calm voice.

"I've heard that human women can lose their lives in childbirth, but the birth of spirits is not so dangerous."

"Really?

"Yes, Snow Rare told me about the time she gave birth to Milfilia, but the Spirit also seems to have some kind of labor pain, but it seems to be quite light compared to humans."

"Yes, it is."

When I hear more about it, it seems that spiritual babies do not come from the birth canal. When the Spirit of Light is born, light fills the stomach, and when the Spirit of Darkness is born, darkness gathers, and babies appear there.

The baby moves out of the stomach using mobility techniques.

It seems that spirits instinctively use mobility when they are born, albeit at short distances.

Wow, that's interesting.

I leaked my candid thoughts. But it doesn't seem to hurt much, and it is not likely to cause bloody tragedy, so I was relieved.

Incidentally, spirits do not change from human to animal during pregnancy. That's because there's a baby in your belly.

Spirit animals are different in size, whether they are foxes, leopards, cats or horses, so it will be a lot of trouble if both mother and child are not human during pregnancy.

However, it seems that babies who have always been human in their bellies will soon turn into animals after they are born. Because the spirits are basically animals, so when they are human, babies lose their health.

So, how do you maintain the appearance of people when you are in your stomach? Do you owe it to your mother?

There are many differences from humans, but I think the Spirit's pregnancy and childbirth are also mysterious.

"Milfilia, why don't you come here more and touch your stomach? It's just moving now."

"Oh, is that okay?

"It's moving!? Really!

Fear of approaching me and rushing to touch my stomach. When we touched Lunabella's stomach together, we did feel the baby moving inside. Are these stiff legs?

"Shinpi...."

It's really mysterious. I can't believe there's a baby in here and it's working fine.

As touching as I am, San Narcissi is also touched by Lunabella's belly.

"Ugh, it's moving... It's definitely moving...!

"Until now, when San Narcissi touched it, for some reason it stopped moving."

Lunabella laughs. And it went on like this.

"But did you finally remember your father's voice? Or maybe Milfilia moved because she came."

"Hey, sweetheart. When you're born, we'll be together!

It's your father.

San Narcissi is shouting to his stomach to avoid losing to me.

Lunabella continued to laugh at me happily.

"Hey, Milfilia. Aren't you feeling anything as you approach your stomach? Do you think the belly child is either a spirit of darkness or a spirit of light?

While asking me, Renabella already seemed to know which inheritance the belly child was.

"Eh, you know already?

I looked gently at Lunabella's stomach in surprise. I can smell the puff and smell in a reflexive way, but I don't really know about the baby just because of the scent of Lunabella.

However, I was able to feel the "mind" of a few spirits released from my stomach.

"Hmm? Is this... the light? It's bright and beautiful... But wait a minute. Lunabella's strength is more intense, but she also feels like darkness....."

Lunabella and Sannarcis laugh when they see me confused.

What? No way... are you a twin?
