Fell in the Highest Difficulty Dungeon 170

Chapter 170 – Friends (5)

20. Friends (5)

After Cestia left the room, silence fell. She has experienced so much silence in her life that she is very familiar with it, but I wondered if there would be another silence that had such an impact but was difficult to endure.

But she didn’t last long.

“What are you doing?”

“Uh, huh?”

“You’re not chasing Sister Cestia.”

“Uh… ?”

“Ha…”

Kaya said something unexpected to me, who had lost her soul after hearing the word pregnancy.

“Captain, are you going to leave the woman with your child alone?”

“Oh that…”

“At that time, the matter between the captain and Sister Cestia was concluded. Now just… It’s that amazing, and about what you couldn’t have, like that…”

Kaya stopped talking and lowered her head. She suddenly seemed to be welling up with her emotions. Looking at her reaction, she said she really did a bad thing.

Pregnancy.

She was sentenced to Heaven (天刑), which was impossible for her.

Kaya, who took my virginity, did something absolutely impossible, and Cestia, who I hung out with for just one day, did it, so Kaya’s sense of deprivation was no joke. At least Shay didn’t seem to be getting pregnant for a similar reason, and Illumina wasn’t getting pregnant either, so I wondered if maybe I had a problem…

“I don’t think Ar will be pursued at least for a while, so go talk to Sister Sestia.”

“That…”

“If you didn’t know at all, wouldn’t you know? Did she have such a mindset because she likes Sestia-sama? What pregnant woman would want to leave the man she loves. Even if she is protected and loved more than usual, she will not be enough.”

“Kaya…”

“No matter how much my heart hurts… Please don’t make us and you, Captain, shameful.”

The heart of a beast wearing a human mask…

‘No, Kaya. I’m less than shy.’

Even animals took care of their offspring. After listening to Cestia’s words, I thought it was fortunate that this work ended without much friction than I thought. I was just thinking about how to treat them after this.

He only looked at Kaya and Shay, and had no idea how Sestia would feel.

I was trash

Dungeon?

Okay. Dungeon Row would be virtually impossible if any of her companions were to become pregnant. As long as you don’t greet new colleagues. In the first place, Kayana and Shay knew that her fertility was impossible, and Illumina’s chances of her pregnancy were close to zero outside of estrus, so it was unlikely, but it wasn’t such a problem. It was a matter of mindset.

‘Only like this, he’s no different from my baby boy who doesn’t even know his face after being wrapped up in his mother’s womb.’

I’m sorry, Kaya. Sorry, Shay. Sorry about Illumina and Ardo.

I headed for the monastery with a surge of self-loathing.

**

After Hendrick left the room, sighs erupted from here and there. There was even the sound of his rapid breathing.

The former were Kaya and Shay, the latter were Illumina and Ar. Kaya smiled bitterly.

“Everyone doesn’t have to look too hard. Because it’s okay.”

“It happened because of me. Why did I say… ?”

“I was comforted by Sister Cestia, and you, Arr, must have wanted to be comforted in your own way. Am I wrong?”

“That’s true, but the result…”

“If there is any fault, it is Sister Cestia’s fault for revealing something she did not want to reveal, and it is not your fault that we feel this way. I’m sorry, but this is a matter between the captain and Sister Sestia.”

“That’s right. I’m sorry.”

Shay washed her face dry. Her eyes and face were bright red.

“No matter how much I love the Captain, even if we walk the same path… It is a very sad thing for a woman to not be able to have children, which can be said to be the fruit of that. On the other hand, Cestia-sama will be very happy. When she said that she was pregnant with the captain’s child, she saw the expression that Lady Sestia showed for a moment, right?”

“Huh… He looked really happy. I managed my expression right away.”

“Like Kaya unnie said, I let go of my emotions at that time. Having a baby… That’s a separate issue. The baby did nothing wrong. Despite her resentment and envy, she was looking forward to what the baby would look like. Would I resemble the captain more? Shall I resemble Cestia more? Is it a daughter or a son? Are you going to be born as twins?”

“…”

“Even if I could get pregnant, I would have avoided getting pregnant. Because it has a mission. That’s why, what you can’t have originally looks more beautiful and more valuable. Although it’s sad that what I don’t have is a blessing that any normal woman deserves.”

“Shay.”

“Are you okay. I have to bless you. We need to find out how Ar can get along well, and we need to prepare to enter the dungeon again. Ah. Having said that, I must be pretty busy. Right?”

“Shay…”

Illumina and Are couldn’t bear to open their mouths. It was because she was not aware of the affairs of the parties, and she knew that hasty consolation could be poisonous.

Ar is down. She felt like a mother from a nun she hadn’t seen before and inadvertently comforted her, so in case she didn’t know she was pregnant, she told her to take care of herself…

“Ah true!”

“Illumina?”

“I don’t know everything about the situation, but alcohol is the best at times like this. Don’t do anything weird, everyone, stay here and wait! I’ll bring you some amazing drinks and snacks!”

Illumina jumped up, unable to see her drooping colleagues, and she strode out of her room, only to return in less than 10 seconds.

“Illumina… ?”

“Some gold coins… Haha.”

“…”

**

The monastery is not that far away from the inn, so I don’t know why it feels so far away. Time passed quickly when I was walking very slowly to Sestia and the inn, but now, when I was running like crazy, it passed infinitely slowly. I never thought I’d realize Cestia’s words that time is relative so quickly.

“Warrior? What did you come back for?”

“Heuk, Heo Eok, Se, is Sestia inside?”

“… The nun said that she would be very busy from now on, so she asked to postpone her guest visit for a while. You are free to stay here, but I don’t think I’ll let you see the nun.”

“I definitely have something to say. Please. Please.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll deliver it to the nun, hero.”

“No! All I have to do is tell it myself. It is very important and urgent!”

The nun I had seen just an hour ago sighed. She wasn’t really close with this nun, but she came and went a few times, and there was an acquaintance of hers, and I clung to that thin acquaintance. Please, hoping that Raella’s kindness will shine.

The nun sighed again and nodded her head.

“I have to say sorry to the nun later.”

“Thank you!”

“Go. Warrior.”

“Thank you so much!”

That nun didn’t seem to believe my excuses, but she was in debt anyway. She arrived at Sestia’s office, thinking that if she saw her again later, she would give her something.

‘What the fuck do you say?’

It’s good that they rushed in, but this was the next problem. After hearing the news of Cestia’s pregnancy, something seemed to have gone bad. I wanted to talk to her once again even though I was scared of her because I wondered if she was already very disappointed in me. She and her words are already showing her motherly love, which is different from her mother and her mother.

Smart-

My hand knocked on the door without permission, and instead of hearing a voice telling me to come in, the door opened.

Cestia was standing.

“I didn’t want you to come, but I’m glad you did.”

“Cestia.”

“Come on in.”

We sat in the same seats we had been seated an hour before. But the atmosphere was different. Sestia was smiling the same way as before, as if nothing had happened, but it was hard for me to smile when I understood the meaning of that smile.

– The hour I spent with you from the monastery to here was more intense than ever. Whoops. It feels like my happiness has doubled.

Seeing Cestia’s smile reminded me of these words. In particular, the last words, “I feel like my happiness has doubled,” Stuck in my heart.

I thought you were just saying that being with me made me happy… She, who did not want to reveal her pregnancy in case it would become a ‘stumbling block’ to me, was the maximum I could express from her point of view.

Kaya was right a hundred times.

There was no way it would be good for her to part with me just because she was Sestia. It couldn’t have been better to give her daughter a life without a father.

“Cestia.”

“Hendrick. Are you okay.”

“… Uh?”

“And everything you said at the inn is true. I’m not just saying that. Hendrick-sama knows that what I said isn’t a lie, right?”

“Know. Know. But it’s not okay.”

“Yes?”

“If it’s your child, it’s mine too. How are you okay?”

“… I knew you would say that, so I didn’t want to say it. I’m afraid you’ll care I’m afraid you’ll worry Because Hendrick-sama is kind and kind.”

“It’s kind and friendly, but what a piece of shit! I? I’m trash!”

“Hendrick.”

“If I had been really kind and kind, I wouldn’t have had so many women and only cared about you. Even if you didn’t tell me about the pregnancy, even if you didn’t know, when you revealed it, I would have immediately approached you and asked if you were okay or how you were feeling. He must have asked not to overdo it even though he had a child, or made plans for the future together. But I didn’t do any of that! Why? Do you know what I was thinking then?”

“Hendrick.”

“Fuck you! No matter how much Cestia doesn’t go to the dungeon, is she pregnant?”

“Hendrick!”

“How do you appease Kaya and Shay? What if we fight each other? What if you get away from me? Hey, I’m glad it went like this. It might be easier than you think?”

“Hendrick!”

“The reason I came here was because I hesitated and then Kaya told me to go quickly. Pretending not to win over your temptations and having fun together, I made you suffer again with rubbish-like pleasure without responsibility…”

Jab-!

Sight has changed. Her head was spinning. Soon, heat rose from his cheeks.

Cestia’s palms were red.

“Listen to me, Hendrick!”

“Cestia… ?”

“What have you been saying all along? She’s not a slut like I mix with trash like that. Or something. Hendrick, do you want to become a second rapist yourself?”

“No, that’s not it!”

“I am so happy to have your child. I am so happy that in a few months I will be able to give birth to a child who looks just like you. I am so happy to be able to fill the void left by my daughter. Even if I cannot be with you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, there is a child who inherited your blood and love.”

“But!”

“Hendrick, you are doing something much more important than me and the child. Don’t mistake your priorities. In private too. The sisters have more priority than me, right?”

“But having children… !”

Jab-!

“It’s true that children are precious, but don’t set them as standards! Ah really! How did the werewolf find out, troublesome…”

Both cheeks tingle Cestia crossed her arms and sighed as she stroked my cheek.

“If so, let’s do this.”

“What?”

“I promise.”

“I will. I promise you unconditionally.”

“I’d like to say something like that without even hearing it… Is it so. Promise me that you will definitely return safely. If everything goes well, then please come see me and the child. Call my child, who will be born later, by the name you chose. I promise you.”

“…”

“Instead, don’t care about me until you fulfill that promise.”

“…”

“Answer.”

“… Okay.”

“What did you say?”

“Okay! I’ll promise!”

“What did I say?”

“I will come back safely after everything is over and go see you and the child!”

“That’s it. Good job.”

Cestia kissed my cheek briefly.

“The promise is from now on. Hendrick.”

“… Cestia?”

“Please go back.”

“Cestia!”

Sestia wordlessly pointed at her door with her index finger. Her mouth without a sound said ‘promise’.
