The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 35 (1/2)
The room that Zadiris had prepared for Bilde’s childbirth was one of the countless rooms in the ruins of Talosheim
The roo made of the soft fur from a Needle Wolf’s belly had been laid out on the floor, and Bilde was lying on top of it
「First,【Sterilization】Bilde, are you alright?」(Vandalieu)
There were three other Ghoul women in the room other than Bilde They were likely wo as midwives
「V-Van」(Bilde)
Probably due to the pains of labor, Bilde’s breathing was rough and there eat on her forehead as she realized that Vandalieu was there and reached a hand out towards hier than his own, and she gave his hand a squeeze
「I-I’ive birth to a healthy baby, okay?」(Bilde)
What was a man supposed to say in response to this? This was a difficult question to answer in Vandalieu’s position He are of his own expressionlessness and flat tone of voice, so he thought he ht come off as cold if he just said,「Do your best」, so he hesitated Trying to sound as reassuring as possible, he said
「It’s alright, I’m here with you, so just relax」(Vandalieu)
Vandalieu didn’t have a doctor’s license, nor had he ever witnessed childbirth before, so he didn’t knohat exactly was alright or on what grounds Bilde could relax, but encouraging her was the top priority right now
In fact, his expressionlessness was convenient in situations like this His lack of confidence didn’t show on his face
「Okay!」(Bilde)
It see her She definitely seemed to be in pain, but she still smiled
When Vandalieu thought about the fact that had ht hand seemed to be a trivial matter Ah, they pierced his skin
But he could see a faint shadow of death on her face
「Control your breathing, short breaths in, long breaths out」(Midwife)
「Check your Status if you can; has your Vitality dropped?」(Midwife)
「I will make sure to deliver your baby Rest assured」(Zadiris)
Looking at everyone else, Vandalieu realized that Bilde wasn’t showing any strangeness or visible signs of her condition worsening She showed no signs of being ill, and there shouldn’t have been anything abnormal with the baby, either
「I’ to examine you a little, okay?」(Vandalieu)
But Vandalieu could definitely see the shadow of death, so he used【Spirit Form Transformation】to transform his unoccupied left arm into spirit form and placed it inside Bilde’s abdomen
And then he found that the umbilical cord had wrapped itself around the baby’s neck At this rate, the baby would be strangled
『I’lad Zadiris called me over here』(Vandalieu)
Thinking this, he loosened the uh it would have been easier to do it with his right hand
「How is everything, boy?」(Zadiris)
「It’s fine, I’ve resolved it」(Vandalieu)
The bones of Vandalieu’s right hand were creaking and Bilde’s claws had dug into it so that her paralyzing veno, but there was now no problem with the mother or the child
「Alright! The rest is up to your effort, Bilde!」(Zadiris)
After that, just as Zadiris said, the childbirth continued with Bilde’s efforts while Vandalieu offered her encourageht hand squeezed
It took six hours for the child to be born, and Vandalieu learned just how great the mothers of the world were
A gray-brown baby with a wrinkled face She was the first new Ghoul born into the Ghoul co time
「Look, it’s a girl I can’t give your whole naht if I borrow half of it?」(Bilde)
Bilde was holding her child, looking visibly exhausted but incredibly happy
Vandalieu was fine with it, but would the child’s real father not mind? Bilde looked so happy that Vandalieu was hesitant to ask
「I don’t mind」(Vandalieu)
And so this was the reply he gave
Vandalieu would ask about this later to learn that newborn Ghouls were generally named by theirwith the chief of the tribe Since Bilde was the ive her child half of Vandalieu’s name
「Will you hold her?」(Bilde)
「With pleasure」(Vandalieu)
Now he took the peacefully-sleeping baby with both arht hand still hadn’t healed and it still didn’tclaws piercing it for hours on end So he took the baby with his left arm and placed her on top of his knees
「She’s light and very warm」(Vandalieu)
The baby’s body felt very light to Vandalieu But this baby would grow up and live for three hundred years As this thought occurred to hiot a sense of how mysterious life was
The birth of a new life was an e event Vandalieu felt this for the first time in his three lifetimes
When he had lived on Earth, even atching that kind of documentary that told him,「This is how a new life is born」, his only reaction to that was,「Her on a screen or the birth of an animal, so he hadn’t felt emotionally moved at all
But he had experienced death twice Including the time after he beca Darcia back to life, he could really feel the emotion of this event
He decided to do everything he could to protect this child He wasn’t the child’s father, but he was the Ghoul King, after all
「And so I’eons」(Vandalieu)
Borkus and Vigarofaces when Vandalieu told them this, but they understood that it couldn’t be helped
The reive birth one by one in the near future If an unexpected situation arose while Vandalieu was in a Devil’s Nest or Dungeon, he wouldn’t be able to deal with it
「It’s been so long since I’ve heard a baby crying!」(Vigaro)
『You can take your time to calm down first, but make sure you show the baby to us as well』(Borkus)
「For a new life to be born in these ruins that wereto turn into dust, this is a truly happy event」(Nuaza)
『How great, noe can have some drinks』(titan)
『If there’s any alcohol to be had』(titan)
「There is, though it’s not very tasty!」(titan)
For Vigaro and the other Ghouls who had been troubled by their problem of low fertility, it was clearly a happy event, but even Borkus and the other Undead titans were truly genuinely happy to see the birth of this baby
Incidentally, one ienic to allow the baby near the Undead, but it wasn’t a proble Killer】,【Deodorization】and【Preservation】spells on all of the Undead titans
Once a drain system was established, Talosheiienic as any city of the A in the city considering its size, so it would never lose the feeling of being a ghost town, however
「Also, I want to strengthen Talosheiic Item that that will increase the Ghouls’ fertility I’ll leave the adventures and training for in between those」(Vandalieu)
Those dedicated to the path of being a warrior or a ht have scolded him for his lack of dedication, but nobody here scolded Vandalieu
「Alright! We’ll just decide on the order we’ll do things here!」(Vigaro)
『This is perfect nobody’s gone into the Dungeons for two hundred years, so who knohat they’ll be like inside The number of monsters will probably have increased, so I’ll thin them out for you!』(Borkus)
『It could be that they have been abandoned for so long that new, unknown levels have appeared in them』
「What e do about the unaro over the basics」(Basdia)
TLN: “Hand-to-hand” was bothering ed this to “unarmed” in this chapter and all previous chapters
『Jyuh! My lord, in that case, I shall increase my Level and work hard to catch up to my companions!』(Bone Man)
「We’ll be taking this time to learn our skills as well!」(Child)
In this ain just how much kindness he was surrounded by in this third lifetime of his
The first thing to do was to create the Magic Ite Talosheim’s defenses would have to be done after the forest Devil’s Nest was completely removed from the city, otherwise they would be up to their necks in Raptors and Needle Wolves
「Holy Son, please give us a few more days」
So he was told It seemed that the probleh the Needle Wolves weren’t probleh to run away if they knew they couldn’t win a fight, so exter them was likely very difficult
「I aic Items」(Vandalieu)
「One to er, and the other to prevent fetuses fro before they reach a certain size, if I recall? Creating Magic Items with both functions would be difficult, after all」(Zadiris)
In the building next to the (te the creation of the Magic Items with Zadiris, Tarea, Basdia and several other Ghoul women
「Regarding that, I’ic Ite that is easy to put on and take off」(Vandalieu)
「Indeed, if it were so that stayed on permanently ould produce children endlessly」(Tarea)
「You’re right, it’ll be hard for everyone’s habits to suddenly change」(Basdia)
Up until now, Ghouls had experienced difficulties in getting pregnant, and even if they did, most of their children were not born successfully Because of this, they had no e system and it was natural for their society to do their utmost to try and create children Even after Bilde and the others beca back
Even if Vandalieu were to create the Magic Iteht, let’s do proper fa from now on」
There were no convenient contraceptive devices or pills like on Earth, so that would make this only more difficult
Well, there wouldn’t be problee nuood thing; Talosheim still had plenty of space and there was a near-endless supply of food
However, reproducing to the point of filling up all of the land would be a problea and the other e to le year
「There will definitely be proble two or three children at once」(Tarea)
「And there areBilde」(Zadiris)
There were no nurseries like on Earth, nor were there books, television programs or the internet to refer to in order to learn how to raise a child As Tarea and Zadiris had experienced raising children before, they were concerned that there would be mothers ould suffer from maternity-related anxiety
Well, that didn’t necessarilyonly one child would prevent maternity-related anxiety, however
「So then I think it would be best to explain about contraception while I ic Items」(Vandalieu)
「You’re right Unlike huood for us to havea child once every five or ten years」(Basdia)
For hu communities, there would be circu out their children because it was a lot of work to raise them, and they probably didn’t understand the concept of fa anyway
Because y was not well-developed, there would be a strong notion that they should have asand healthy But as Basdia said, Ghouls had long lifespans so it would be easy to convince the Ghouls to adopt this policy
Huly, however
「But can the men hold themselves back? I think once every five or ten years is impossible」(Basdia)
「That is why it will be an accessory that can be put on and taken off It can be put on only ishi+ng to have children」(Tarea)
It would be a reverse-contraception device
「So what kind of accessory will you make it?」(Basdia)
「Right now, I’oes around the thigh」(Vandalieu)
The shape and part of the body that the Magic Item would be worn on was very important These factors would affect the difficulty of creating the iteth of its effect when completed
For exaic Iteround, would it not be likely that ic Item to be a pair of shoes?
At the very least, nobody would think it would be a pair of glasses
In contrast, if there were a Magic Iteh objects while it orn, lasses, not shoes
In this way, certain shapes and where the Magic Item would be ould er effect, depending on what kind of effect was desired
So or arlasses or, alternatively, a circlet Soh speeds would be shoes or an anklet
Of course, Magic Items such as socks that allowed one to see in the dark apparently existed, but creating such iteh level in the【Alchemy】skill and expensive materials
At present, there were more Alchemical materials available than food The reason for this was that anything that they obtained fro monsters, they had to use themselves
There was no Adventurers’ Guild to take Magic Stones to, so Braga and the otherwith them like marbles
However, Vandalieu, the only one who could create a death-attribute Magic Ite a band that went around the thigh close to the abdo similarly close was the limit of his ability
He also had the option ofit a belt, but the Ghouls didn’t have a culture of wearing belts, so it ic Item unpopular
Vandalieu would find it difficult to create an item that would be worn even closer to the relevant body parts than that
「So, are there any colors or designs that you like?」(Vandalieu)
Vandalieu had included Basdia and the other women in this discussion to ask the it, it would be best to ask them for their preferences in color or shape
