Chapter 682 – Ep.680 Tullius Empire
A flash came before my eyes and my vision changed completely.
At the same time, a tremendous feeling of nausea came.
“Wow…”
It was a time when I couldn’t come to my senses because my throat was sore, even though there seemed to be no more gastric juice coming out.
Sigh.
When the refreshing energy that started to slowly spread from my back reached my head, my throat and stomach, which felt like I was going to vomit at any moment, began to calm down as if it were a lie.
“Is everything okay now?”
“… Thank you.”
At the sound of Master Bizelin’s voice coming from behind, I swallowed the saliva in my mouth and stood up.
“Originally, it’s normal if you don’t feel anything, but I didn’t expect you to get magic sickness because all your power is concentrated in a tight place.”
“Motion sickness, wow~”
My stomach calmed down, but I swallowed down the remaining nausea in my throat.
“The motion sickness is okay now. What about Kernax?”
“In the bedroom.”
“Then… ?”
As the nausea disappeared, I quickly came to my senses and realized that the place I had been summoned to was the entrance, so I quickly tried to take my steps to go upstairs.
Until Giena and Beneo approached.
Teook──!!
The two people standing on either side of me naturally grabbed both of my arms as if they were arresting a criminal.
“… ?”
“First of all, cleanliness.”
“Where are you going to get into all the topics you’ve been wandering around outside?”
“No, uh… ?”
I had a burning desire to run towards Kernax right away, but I had to keep my mouth shut due to the cold gaze of Giena, whom I had never seen before, and the gaze of Beneo that was more contemptuous than usual.
It was impossible to use physical force when the arm was grabbed in the first place.
“Please remain calm.”
“It ends faster that way.”
“Yes…”
So I was dragged into the bathhouse by two people.
**
“Don’t shout loudly.”
“Don’t shout loudly.”
“Don’t make a fuss.”
“… “Hey, don’t make a fuss?”
Where am I and what am I doing?
After being thoroughly washed to the point where my skin came off by Giena and Beneo, I came to my senses and found myself standing outside the locker room, dressed in new clothes, being taught by Beneo.
“Good night. Now follow me slowly.”
“… Yes.”
The atmosphere of the mansion was much calmer than I expected, so I quietly followed Beneo.
‘But wasn’t cleanliness scrolling faster and better than washing…? … ?’
… I wanted to ask that question, but Bizelin was also there, so there must have been a good reason.
“Mr. West.”
“Nyahoya.”
Nyaho, who was standing in front of the tightly closed bedroom door, greeted me from his position.
“Wait here until you are allowed inside.”
“Can’t I come in?”
“…”
Beneo glared at me with a sharp gaze once again.
“As soon as I go in, my mind becomes wild. “It’s not like Kernax will be any more comfortable if you go in in the first place.”
“Well, I could at least give you my hair…” … “I will remain quiet.”
I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut because he looked at me like he was going to hit me if I said one more word.
‘Is this right…? … ?’
Was I really making too much of a fuss in such a quiet and calm atmosphere? It was to the point where I thought,
‘Keu… The soundproofing is really good… !!’
It would have been nice to have been able to at least hear how much Kernax was struggling inside and share his heartache, but the wizard who had used the soundproofing spell was so good that not even the sound of his breathing could be heard.
“What about the others?”
“Siran and Nemea are inside, and Amela and Siron are on guard on the roof.”
“Well, I see.”
Siran was the only one who had experienced childbirth, and in Nemea’s case, she was probably there to help her recover with divine power on behalf of Sith.
‘Still, I feel a little relieved.’
“Mr. West.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Hand…”
“Uh? Oh, hands?”
Nyaho carefully cupped both of my hands, and only then did I realize that I was holding them too tightly.
If I had told you a little later, my hands would have gotten dirty. I can’t hug Winter with bloody hands.
“Don’t worry.”
“Sorry.”
“No.”
Nyaho smiled softly.
“I don’t know how it may sound to the West, but is it common in this world for women to give birth alone? “There is probably no case where you worry so much as the West does.”
“… I see.”
If given a real chance, I would round up all the bastards on this continent and educate them mentally.
“He’s right. Thank you for your interest in the first place. “Usually they say it’s noisy and disgusting and they don’t even come close, right?”
“Haha…”
Nyaho laughed awkwardly at the words of Bizelin, who had come up before we knew it.
“As short as an hour. Because it could take up to half a day. “Don’t lose your strength and just wait calmly.”
“… Yes.”
“Stretch your back. Straighten her shoulders too. Kernax is human, but he was a knight, right? So don’t worry too much. Besides, there’s a guy who uses divine power well too, right?”
“… Yep.”
As Bizelin said, I straightened her back and shoulders.
“Whoa.”
I took a slow breath and tried to calm my mind as much as possible.
‘Sis. ‘It’s going to take a while to pick you up.’
【I’ll get back on my own, so don’t worry about this.】
‘… ‘Don’t overdo it.’
【All right. This is over now, so pay attention to Kernax.】
‘Okay.’
After the brief conversation with Sith, I sighed again and leaned back against the wall.
‘Shit… Is there no God to pray to?’
I once again internalized this damned environment, then closed my eyes and clasped my hands together.
‘Father-in-law… Please do something to keep Kernax and Gyeoreum healthy.’
**
The sunset sky turned black.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
It was painful to even check my watch, so I didn’t look at it at all.
Sweet.
“… !!”
I heard the sound I had been waiting for, and I quickly raised my head and removed the lantern from the wall.
The door slowly opened, revealing Siran, who looked a little tired.
“First, Smith, come in first.”
“… Phew.”
I remembered the training I had received from Beneo, and quickly exhaled and tried to calm my racing heart as much as possible.
“Are you done?”
“… That’s it.”
Siran nodded, and I managed to follow Siran inside by giving strength to my strangely shaky legs.
I saw Nemea retreating, carrying the bed and bucket I had always seen.
And.
“… “Miss.”
Kernax, who was lying on the bed with a face drenched in sweat, smiled weakly.
Was he not healed by divine power?
The tip of my nose stung at Kernax’s completely hoarse voice.
At the very end, I resisted the urge to run and followed Siran to the front of the bed.
“Ha…”
Sleeping quietly in Kernax’s arms, nursing his breast… Something small and cute caught my eye.
“… “You’re not going to be jealous of your daughter, are you?”
“No way.”
It must have been a joke made with my feelings in mind.
I knelt in front of the bed with shaky legs and held Kernax’s hand.
“Thank you.”
“… Me too.”
I felt greater relief than ever before as Kernax’s hand slowly traced my cheek.
“Hug, want to see… ?”
“… No. Later.”
I wanted to hug you so much. But at the same time, I was scared.
It’s so small, can I really hold it properly?
More than anything, I was sleeping soundly and I didn’t want to wake him up.
“You looked like you were going to cry, but surprisingly you didn’t cry?”
“… “Why do you cry on a happy day?”
“Why don’t you tell me what to do about your red eyes?”
Siran, who was watching quietly next to her with Nemea, giggled.
“I gave it a try and it came out with a bang. “Oh, what’s taking so long?”
“…”
It seemed like he was telling me to laugh, but looking at Siran’s expression, I didn’t think that was true, so I decided to remain silent.
“Anyway, you’re both healthy. “We’ll be back around dinner time, so you two can spend some quality time together.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“… Thank you.”
“What is gratitude?”
Siran waved her hand and left, closing the bedroom door with Nemea.
“… Smith.”
“Huh? Why? “What do you need?”
“… No. If you keep doing that… Because it’s uncomfortable…”
“Uh? No. “It’s not uncomfortable.”
Compared to the discomfort I felt while waiting, kneeling was nothing.
“… “It’s because I want to be hugged.”
“Then you should get up.”
I immediately got up from my seat and carefully walked to the other side. Then, very carefully, I climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Kernax.
“… Eight.”
“Arm pillow? For a moment. No, don’t move. “I will do it.”
He carefully supported the back of Cernax’s head, then inserted his arm through the gap.
“… Huh.”
Kernax lightly smiles as he lightly touches his cheek to my chest as I lie on my side.
I kissed Kernax’s sweaty forehead and laughed along.
“I guess we had a hard time with winter coming. “You sleep really well.”
“… I know.”
Our winter is sleeping quietly, wriggling its small hands on its wrinkled skin.
I expressed my honest feelings while looking at Winter’s slightly growing black hair.
“… Never Kernax. “I have to be like you.”
It may be okay if she is a son, but as a daughter, Winter absolutely had to take after her mother, Kernax. No, it had to be that way.
“… I think so too.”
“… Ma’am? “Shouldn’t you say here that you wish you were more like me?”
Although I completely agree, I was still secretly looking forward to it!!
“… “Puhup.”
As I looked at him with a shocked face, Kernax eventually burst into laughter.
“Cernax.”
“… Huh?”
“Love you.”
“… Me too.”
We touched our foreheads and noses and shared each other’s body heat.
“… But Smith?”
“Huh?”
“… “I heard that you went to see something important with Sis.”
Kernax looked up at me with slightly worried eyes.
“… I, I, am okay now… If you have urgent work, it’s okay to go quickly… Umm…”
I kissed Kernax’s dry lips and pulled them away again and again until they became moist.
“Even if I tell you to go, I will never leave today.”
“… Huh.”
Only then did a faint smile appear on Kernax’s lips.
‘… Sorry. ‘Roan.’
I will definitely save you.
