Chapter 1. Response

“What is that nonsense? Who's in cis's belly...?! ”

Julia scowls at my nonsense, then later understands the meaning of the words and opens her mouth in horror.

Let's calm down, me.

I felt a tiny creature in Sis's belly, barely holding my heart.

“Pregnant! I have a child! ”

“Ahhhh! Sis! ”

Julia hugs Sis with cheer.

“…… Child? ”

Sis stares at her belly, her eyes rarely rolling. After a few strokes, a clear smile spread over Sis' mouth. I had never seen the face of cis so happy.

And so am I.

This excitement and tremor was worth it throughout my life and life.

My child! I can't believe she has my child!

Hypothetically, previous life experiences that had failed have hit the brain. And lovely spirits.... Only then did I realize how much I wanted to have a family, and how happy I am now.

Unlike in my past life, I married the women I truly loved and had children.

Overwhelmed by emotion, I hugged Sis.

“Thank you, cis! ”

Sis hugged me, too. We felt love sharing each other's body temperature.

I gained maximum speed and made it to Leaden Castle quickly. Well, you'd better tell everyone about this, wouldn't you?

That's what I thought I said to the salamander.

“Hey, go and have fun. ”

- Heheheh heh!

The salamander, which was in my body temperature, burst open the lighthouse and ran high into the sky.

Soon, spiritual affinity seemed to be consuming, and a huge flame began to be embroidered in the sky.

Glug-ug-ug-ug!

Soon, a huge flaming sentence appeared over the city of Leaden.

< Axis · Pregnancy! Earl Ligand, Sergeant! >

Seeing this, I was pleased.

Now even the Ass Dog in the back alley of Lerdon should know about this slope. Yeah, well, I have a baby, and I'm supposed to be that.

Julia, on the other hand, looks at me with a shrugged face.

“Don't you think you're being unreasonable? Such fireworks on top of the royal palace... ”

“It's okay, it's okay. You gave up on me, too. Rather, this is going to be a protest asking me to take maternity leave. ”

“What kind of maternity leave are you on? You're not even pregnant. Shouldn't we be doing repairs in the North? ”

“Son, whose side are you on? ”

“Whose side are you on! You have to live a good life if you're not going to swear anywhere! ”

“While cursing at me.... ”

“What?! ”

I flinched as Julia turned on the doubles. Julia grimaces.

“I'll take good care of Sis, so work hard on your job, okay? ”

“Tsk... ”

“Aren't you going to answer?! ”

“Oh, okay. ”

Ah. Why am I getting so small in front of Julia? I was beaten to a pulp before I proposed. That's what this is about. I must have missed the first button. Yeah, I proposed to two women at the same time, so I'm the one who's gonna kill them. If you get something, you lose something. Life is perfect.

I flew back to the mansion with an elongated roar.

Immediately after returning to the mansion, the butler, Nibel, ordered the midwives and nannies to be rescued in advance.

The inspiration of Nibel laughs wildly.

“I've already asked someone to save it. ”

“Gosh, already? ”

“The master has already spread a rumour. The midwives and nanny candidates will gather on their own without needing to know. Don't worry about it. ”

“Is that so? Okay. ”

“Instead, I need to get Sis' favorite ingredients. I will instruct the kitchen to prepare healthy food. ”

“Yes.”

It was the inspiration of Nibel, who was seen through the trivial affairs. You're very good at hiring as a butler.

But that night, during dinner, a stool formed.

Instead of turning the snow upside down, Sis was eating peacefully today.

“Sissy, don't you feel well? Doesn't it taste good?”

In my question, Sis shakes her head.

“Eat well. ”

At that moment, I thought I heard voices.

Sis enjoyed food slowly, and finished eating only twice as much as Julia.

I examined Sis' body with shared senses, but there seemed to be no pain.

“Can I not have some more? ”

“Overeating is bad for my body. ”

Julia claps her hands at Sis' lying answer.

“Yeah, yeah, good thinking. You can't overeat and make our baby fat. Let's go for a walk, since we had a nice meal. ”

“Yes.”

Julia and Sis join hands and head out to the garden.

It was remarkable that Sis' appetite for a violent meal disappeared overnight.

The chef came running and asked me if I didn't like the meal today. After calming down the chef and sending him back, the bear thought to himself.

When I think about it, Sis, who was a farmer, was always hungry. I was hungry because of poverty, I lost my family, I was lonely, and I was also hungry for family love.

I speculated that this pregnancy was a symbolic event to satisfy all such sheath hunger.

I'm not alone anymore.

Since his child was always pregnant in the belly of hunger, I think it was enough to escape the long hunger and feel the mental satisfaction. It was evidence that he suddenly stopped eating from this evening.

The spirit senses of Sis enjoying a walk with Julia in the garden outside the mansion. Sis was smiling calmly, enjoying the scenery of the beautifully decorated garden.

I also smiled when I saw myself happy through the past wounds.

I'll make you happier, cis.

* * *

Julia forcefully kicks me out of work because I don't want to go to work. I came to the royal palace helplessly, giving congratulations to everyone I met. Thanks to what I told the salamanders to do in the neighborhood.

“Congratulations on your pregnancy, Earl. ”

Louie comes to work and greets me. Louie was escorted by mercenaries, as I instructed. Since it's a financial brokerage, we need to pay special attention to safety issues.

“Yes, thank you. ”

“I'll see my wives soon, too. ”

“Yeah, Lou's welcome anytime. When are you planning on getting married? ”

“Of course I won't. ”

Just cutting it off, Louis.

Well, Louis Concern was single in his past life. I died leaving a will to donate my property to the Religious Foundation, which is dedicated to saving the poor. Seems to be a bit of a walker holic in nature, so family can be a bit of a drag.

“Hey, Earl. I saw the fires yesterday. ”

Here he is. A lazy guy, just the opposite of Walkerholic Louie.

Jeron shows up in a crumpled, crooked outfit. I looked like I hadn't changed my clothes, but I guess I spent the night in a bar again. I don't want to go to work.

The more I look at it, the more pathetic it gets. I can't believe you're doing that to a talented person. I would have been like him if it weren't for convenient animosity.

“You really should get married. ”

“What brings you here all of a sudden? ”

“What are you talking about? You have to get married soon to have a wife to take care of you. ”

“You need a woman to get married. ”

Jeron grumbles.

She was planning on getting married.

It was good for Jaron to be married, even for King Leaden. Once you have a family, you have to work harder with that responsibility.

I approached Jeron and said quietly.

“You know that Julia is a social worker, right? ”

“I know. If you don't know Julia, the Earl of Ligand, you're not the nobleman of Ledon." ”

“Should I ask Julia to find out about your marriage? ”

“…… Are you sure? ”

Jeron asked with a face, "Why are you bringing up such a good story?" He's got a lot of mistrust of me.

“Yes. Would I lie about that? ”

“Then count your lies and ask. ”

“Don't play dumb with me, you bastard. I did you a favor.... ”

While arguing with Jeron, one of the royal palace attendants suddenly ran towards us.

“Earl Ligand, Earl Deckard, Baron Concern. Three men were named after His Majesty Meishi in the Oval Office. ”

King Erik's been calling us all morning.

Perhaps I wanted to know the outcome of meeting important figures such as Earl Antares at my father's wedding.

Excellent timing. Earl Antares has already contacted the Horn Imperial Court, and we should inform them of his change of heart and take action.
