My child.

The first emotion that comes to mind is surprise, and the second is joy.

Are you sure?

”Yes.

I see.

I checked with Suela to make sure this wasn't a lie, and she looked straight at me and replied.

When I realized that this was true, something indescribably warm came pouring out of my chest, and my voice sounded calm and natural.

After saying the same words twice, my gaze naturally drifts to the belly where life dwells.

I feel a warmth I've never felt before, thinking that my child is dwelling there.

Jiro-san, you know, about the future.

Oh, yeah. You need to go to a hospital to get checked out first. ...... This hospital is not available. And since you're here, I'm sure the tests are done, and you're going to file a marriage registration with city hall first?　I guess that's not the register. Yeah, we'll have to say hello to the parents first, but first we have to call my mom and dad. We'll have to contact my mom and dad later, right?　Oh, and for that matter, you can't leave your armor on while you're touching your tummy.

As you take off your armor, you think about what you should do, but the impact was so strong that you can't organize your thoughts, and you don't know what to do first.

I know vaguely that I don't have time to relax, but what should I do?

Suela asks me about the future, like she's worried about me.

Well, there will be a lot of things to do once you have a child.

Fortunately, I make five or six times as much as anyone else, if not more.

We don't have to worry about money.

First you have to prepare the environment for a healthy birth.

Can I have the baby?

”Huh?　Of course. I'd rather have the baby.

!

”Hey, eh, Suela!

I just reflexively answered honestly.

But under the influence of that, a single tear suddenly flows in Suela's eyes right in front of my confused eyes.

Just when I couldn't think straight, she suddenly cries and I panic as if I've done something wrong.

You're going to be able to get the best out of it.

Even though it wasn't my fault, I grabbed Suela gently by the shoulders and tried to make eye contact with her, but she kept on leaning against me and sobbing, and even when I asked her questions, she just shook her head silently and didn't get the point.

Annoyed, I just pat her on the back until she calms down.

Now I wonder what's going on, and as my gaze wanders, it's natural to look at Memoria.

The woman who had been looking at you quietly opens her mouth, her expression softening as she responds to my questioning gaze, ”You were worried, weren't you?

I've heard that in this world, some men cut off their children as soon as they have them.

”Huh?　Didn't they trust me?

Then it's nothing more than a shock.

But Memoria shakes her head in denial, as if to deny it.

I don't think it's Jiro-san, but I read in this book that there are such men in our world as well?

As if to explain why Suela was crying, Memoria quietly shows me the magazine she would have gotten at the space transfer.

...... too much bias in the information, don't you think?

A colleague recommended this as a good place to get to know this man: ......

I can only chuckle at what is not wrong, but wrong.

Who in the world would suggest such a thing.

It's somewhat unwilling to be put in front of a magazine that is more scandalous than an entertainment magazine and have people think that all men in this world are like that.

And even more so if it affected Suela.

In general, having a child is a big decision for a woman.

There is more to it than a man can understand.

Although the information is somewhat biased in such a realm, it is understandable that Suela would feel uneasy when she learned about it as a piece of information to learn about this world.

You're going to be able to get rid of that anxiety, and from Suela's point of view, it's my role to support her.

I put my hands behind my back to tell her that it's okay.

And, like us vampires, dark elves are long-lived. Perhaps because of their nature, it is rare for them to conceive so quickly by nature. Maybe that's why, being a race that is unlikely to conceive, we are sensitive to the act of childbirth. Therefore,

To help her out, Memoria gently strokes Suela's head.

Her normally downcast expression is now filled with a gentle, affectionate smile.

You must be happy. You must be happy that the man you love asked you to bear a child. It is a well-known story among us that dark elves are a single-minded race. Yet, despite their innocence, stories of breakups are common because of that single-mindedness. It is often between people and dark elves.

I'm afraid to imagine the story of IF.

I've had that experience myself.

Sometimes the word ”maybe” has a positive connotation, but just as often it has a negative connotation.

That's probably why Suela was used in a bad way for this one.

I don't know much about the dark elves' situation, but looking at this Suela, the story of Memoria is probably closer and more real than I imagined.

So.

”Suela, what do you want to name your child?

Still crying, I gently stroke her back and talk to her about the future.

”A Japanese name like mine would be good, but a name that sounds like the world of Suela would be good too. It depends on whether it's a boy or a girl, and we'll think about it together.

She nodded in my chest and I could tell she was getting calmer as she spoke softly to me.

I have to go say hello to Suela's parents first, maybe your father will knock me out. What do you think you're doing with my daughter? And.

If you do that, I'll blow up my father with my magic.

”Oh, you're good.

So I changed the subject a little playfully, and finally Suela showed me her face.

She was crying and her eyes were red, but her face was definitely a smile.

Then let's talk about the future.

I sat down on the bed to sit next to her as she settled down.

To be honest, I'm doing the best I can to keep track of the situation, but Suela's body is okay?

”Yes, my body is fine.

Well, that's a relief for now. ......

Jiro?

What's wrong?

When they see that I'm starting to think, they will ask me.
