Chapter 114 – Episode 114. Formed! Baby Making Alliance!(3)
It really happened in an instant that the commotion subsided.
Later, after Ymir got away from Dave, she had time to talk in a quiet voice with only Katarina and Heira.
To share a secret story only for women, which a man who has already cheated on himself won’t tell.
“That’s how babies are born.”
“… Really, do mixing bodies make babies?”
Heira nods her head after hearing Yumir’s explanation.
He seemed to understand the principle at least with a rough explanation, but even so, Heira looked down at her body in disbelief, and there was a puzzling look on her face.
It was hard to believe that the pleasant acts he had done until now were actually the process of making a child.
“Yeah~ There’s something white and sticky coming out of that hideous thing, right? If you wrap it inside this, fertilization occurs inside, and life slowly begins to grow.”
“… But Dave, never came inside me.”
“Oh yes. That guy is a coward and a coward.”
Isn’t it funny?
To think that a man who had been so frightening even when he took my virginity was actually so weak and pathetic.
“Ymir. It is a presumptuous statement, but I would like you to refrain from evaluating your lord that way.”
But is such an assessment considered unreasonable?
When Katarina, who was listening to her story with her, frowned and glared at her, Yumir smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
“Aigoo, are you a great loyalist? Hey, he probably wants the man who took his virgin to not be insignificant.”
“It’s not like that. I just…”
“Don’t worry, loyal lady. Because such a coward has to have a cowardly side to have a corner to love more.”
On the contrary, Yumir puts his arm around his shoulder as if he generously embraced such an attitude. The smile drawn on his lips was a mockery, so it was difficult to see.
“My aide, talk to me honestly~ Wouldn’t it be nice if Dave depended on you a lot? Just asking for this or that, crying and crying and clinging to it when in danger.”
“That, that…”
At my words, Katarina begins to wince her body. Seeing that she reacted to her words that she poked at me, it seemed that she did not have that kind of heart at all.
‘I think I know how to deal with it.’
It’s been a while to make a fishy laugh at the thought.
“Dave’s, kid…”
After hearing all of her explanations, Yumir’s eyes caught Heira’s reflection as she peered down at her own ship, lost in her thoughts.
Dull eyes and flushed cheeks. She seemed to be imagining herself when she heard her child.
“… Come to think of it, she was too late to ask.”
Curious about Heira’s appearance, Yumir raised her eye level and asked quietly.
“Why did you decide to follow Dave? I know we had a relationship by chance, but…”
Like all the elves she knew, she was born with a tendency to be conservative and shun pleasure.
“… It was like that at first, but it’s different now.”
Heira did not deny Yumir’s doubts, but firmly expressed her own opinion.
“I will live longer than you guys. Since we will be separated someday, I want to build a lot of experiences with you guys who have a relationship with me. Even if it’s to remember this moment that won’t come again in the distant future…”
“… Oh yeah.”
Ymir was taken aback by the unexpected mature words.
Recalling again that she was her sage, a being that had outlived herself, she immersed herself in her thoughts, resting her chin on the idea of her that suddenly popped into her head.
‘Is this the kind of long-lived species that have melted into human society?’
Anyway, the reason elves are usually numb is probably to dispel their lingering attachment to time.
As such, the fate of this girl, who had no choice but to hang on for a short time, could be said to be tragic, but Ymir was able to realize the solution before long.
“Then we can have Dave’s child.”
“… Uh?”
“Is that so? A child is a being that leaves all the traces of the object intact.”
Ymir was also hoping for a child to keep him by his side, who might leave me at any time, and furthermore, to leave memories of being connected even if he disappeared.
Such a purpose coincided to some extent with Heira’s longevity.
“Child… I? Dave’s?”
However, Heira only imagined what would happen to her, but she never expected that it would actually happen.
It was felt that such ambiguous feelings eventually sublimated into reality through Ymir’s direct discussion.
“Yeah~ As you feared, the lifespan is limited, but if the child born that way gives birth to another child and keeps giving birth, wouldn’t Dave’s traces stay by his side forever?”
“… Me, really?”
“Yeah~ Going further, you can share Dave’s traces with everyone, not just you. And as each generation goes by, the number grows terrifyingly.”
Ymir smiled and whispered in Heira’s ear again.
His unique sensitive sense read the plan he felt from him, but he felt that the words that were delivered to him touched him so deeply that even his vigilance was paralyzed.
“Is that so?”
“Yeah~ that’s it~”
Ymir smiles brightly and pats Heira on the shoulder.
Afterwards, Yumir pushed her back and said as if to encourage her.
“So now you know what to do? Express your feelings honestly to Dave.”
“Yea, I got it.”
Heira, who gathered up her courage and left Yumir, stood in front of Dave, who was watching them from a distance, and told her about her business.
“Dave, I, Dave’s baby…”
“No.”
A denial that continues before the words are finished.
Her speechless Heira asked, tilting her head with her dazed face.
“No?”
“… That’s natural.”
Dave racking his brains and expressing his perplexity at my words.
Seeing this, Heira couldn’t continue her words, and she lowered her head and began to reveal her gloom.
“… Ooh, uh.”
“Wow, making a girl cry. Dave is trash~”
“… What the hell did you say to the kid?”
Yumir comforts Heira by laying on her shoulders.
Even so, the smirk painted on her face looked comical.
As if you enjoy being in trouble.
“… Great.”
Katarina, who couldn’t see that, cleared her throat, and she quietly passed her words to Yumir.
“Ymir. I understand her desire to deepen her relationship with her lord, but to make it difficult for her lord…”
“Hey, Action Captain. It’s understandable that he tried to prove his loyalty by stabbing his stomach, but wouldn’t it be better to think about the successor as you’re getting married soon?”
Startle. And Katarina, who shrank her body.
That meant that she, too, couldn’t just ignore her words now.
No, to be precise, there are few of her. As if expecting this situation.
“…The heir?”
“Okay~ After hearing the story, it seems that Dave was an aide that even his father acknowledged, but at this point, if he manages to coax and create a new successor to lead the organization…”
Mumble mumble.
For several minutes, the devil’s whispers toward Katarina could be heard.
“Now then, you know what to do?”
“Ah, I see.”
Soon, Katarina, who was persuaded by Ymir, stood in front of Dave and talked about her wish.
“Master, please, for the sake of the organization’s continuation, the lord’s child…”
“No.”
It was a natural answer.
“… It failed.”
“I can’t help it. Then I have no choice but to force myself to eat it like before…”
“Don’t do it!!”
“Onghoohss~!!”
Ymir felt that his body was paralyzed by the mental control that followed with the shouting.
Soon after, she collapsed onto the floor and shouted at Dave, her body trembling excessively.
“This, this pervert guy! What the hell are you trying to do with my, my body restrained! After all, you’re thinking of poking all my holes and making a mess!? Like something out of a dirty novel!”
Mandible, mandible. The blatant wind felt in the sound of rough breathing.
Dave felt his eyes fill with anticipation and grabbed his head in disgust.
“Please stop. Because you all know.”
The moment the mind is freed.
Yumir, who had regained his freedom, faced Dave again as he brushed off the dust on her body.
“… If you know, why don’t you accept it?”
“The problem is that even if you want to accept it, you can’t. In the first place, it takes time for the organization to stabilize to some extent, and above all, the party is not in a proper state.”
Yes, the problem lies outside of themselves.
The problem is that there are so many things they have to take responsibility for.
Right now, Ymir is the archmage representing the human forces, and Heira is also expected to grow into the main axis of the warrior party soon. Needless to say, Katarina had to lead an organization that would be regarded as a disquiet even by the demons.
“… In short, you haven’t settled down properly yet, so you don’t want to increase your responsibilities?”
“Yes, if you guys wish, not immediately, but later… Can you understand that much?”
He had already decided to accept even a woman who might have a child in the yard she did not want, but now what is there to be afraid of?
Just as much as I’ve been avoiding leaving traces so far, I need to prepare my mind to do such a thing in earnest…
“… Kid.”
While expressing such opinions seriously, Ymir quietly calls Heira.
“Yes, Ymir.”
Heira didn’t take that attitude for granted.
In fact, Heira is aware that she is young, and she was the one who taught her what she didn’t know.
Now that her trust in her was as high as her Dave’s, Heira was ready to agree with most of what she said.
“Are we going to convert to the demon king’s army at this point?”
Even if it sounds absurd to others to hear.
“What!?”
Dave vomits up in surprise at such a sudden sound.
Not only did she not scream, but Katarina was also surprised by her bombshell declaration.
“… Ymir, what do you mean by that?”
“No what… I have already finished all the research I want to do while receiving support from the Magic Tower, so I have no regrets about my position as a great mage. Besides, this kid isn’t a member of the hero’s party in the first place, so he probably doesn’t have much interest in the survival of mankind.”
“Yes. I just want to be with Dave and Ymir…”
“Yeah~ All three of us who follow you like you have no lingering attachments to humanity. This is it~”
Ymir stares at Dave with his arm around their shoulders.
The bright smile drawn on his lips looked as wicked as the Demon King’s officers.
“So I don’t think there will be any problem if I throw away everything I have and follow you and convert to the Demon King’s Army~”
“… Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Then give me Mr. Baby.”
“Why is the story going that way again?”
“Anyway, our purpose is to receive seeds until you have a baby. If we could only have four children, we wouldn’t even think of turning into the demon king’s army~”
Saying that, Ymir pulled the arm on the shoulders of the two of them even harder.
Despite being swung by that hand, Heira and Katarina’s eyes were still fixed on Dave.
“Dave’s child.”
“Master…”
The two of them were already completely captured by her speech.
Dave, feeling that he was outnumbered and twisted in his stomach, let out a deep sigh and began clutching his forehead.
“… Stop joking around Even though you clearly know what state Celica is in right now.”
“Yes, she said that in order to save that child, she must seek help from the demon king.”
“What?”
She borrowed help from the demon lord for Celica, what does that mean?
Are you kidding me again? She wanted to, but as she raised her glasses and looked back at Katarina, her face was infinitely serious.
“I have a question for the lady of the action leader, do you think it is possible for the human forces to cure the aftereffects of the mental damage caused by the dream queen?”
“… Impossible. If that were possible, the dream queen would not be able to rise to the rank of the Demon King’s army.”
“Anyway, he’s a guy who only believes in his ability to control the mind, but if the damage is easily lifted, he won’t be able to come in openly. In fact, even with the divine power of the armor stick, he couldn’t heal him…”
Yes, she was none other than the 10 strongest on the continent, and even with her own divine power, she was unable to cure Celica’s spirit.
It would probably be the same even if he was beholden to other priests or scholars later on.
So, if her condition doesn’t improve after her time, she will have to take some risks to get her back.
“It is said that no human knows more about the demons than I do, but the information available to humans is still limited. In that sense, I think you guys who have been hanging out with them know better who can save that child…”
Click. Yumir glares at Dave, raising her glasses.
“Is there any corner where you can guess something?”
In the place where the smirk of the past had disappeared, there was a cool-headed scholar’s gaze that wanted to seriously explore the demons.
