Chapter 245 – False Pregnancy
Ariel’s bragging about baby products continued for a while. If you think it’s over, something new comes out, and if it’s really over, something new comes out.
Does he put a safe under the bed?
“Wow, pretty. But what money did you buy all of these for?”
“Of course I bought it with my pocket money.”
“All of this?”
I looked up at the bed full of baby items. Ariel puffed out her chest with her proud face.
“Huh! Like I said before, the father of the child must be very unreliable. So I bought it with all my pocket money.”
“Okay?”
She got up and opened her closet.
One dress was all she had in her wide closet. Even that is a dress that looks exactly like the one she is currently wearing.
“Didn’t you buy any clothes?”
“Clothes? Of course I bought it. Fortunately, baby clothes don’t have to cover gender. So much…”
“No no.”
This time she waved her hand at Ariel, who took out her baby clothes and started bragging. She tilted her head.
“It’s your clothes. It’s the money I gave you because I needed clothes.”
“My clothes?”
At my words, she looked at the dress she was wearing and…
“It’s clothes, don’t you just need two sets? I can wear the other while washing and drying one.”
Ariel speaks as if it were natural.
I sat down on the floor and covered my face with both hands.
Damn, what did I just hear?
Two sets of clothes are enough?
Is that the Ariel I knew? Is that Ariel who whined about buying clothes?
‘There was a time when he scolded me for asking why I bought so many clothes because he whined so much…’
I guess that money was also used to buy baby items..?
Guilt and shame creep in.
To the point where I want to commit suicide right now.
He sighed deeply and removed her hand.
“Huh? Ariel, what about baby items?”
The baby items that had filled the bed were gone before I knew it.
“Picked up again. Because I can’t keep it out for a long time.”
It took a year to take it out, but it was all cleaned up in that short time?
Puzzled by her, I approached her and bowed her head. Under the bed, the wind spirit was stacking baby items one by one.
“…I thought you couldn’t see me well these days, so you’re here like this?”
-Yingying!
“Why is it my fault? I never did Your master made it.”
-Yingying!
“No, it’s true that I bought it cheap… Ha ha… Yes. I’m sorry.”
-Yingying!
“How can I help with that? It’s good if it doesn’t mess up.”
– Ying-ing!!
“Okay okay. Don’t be angry. You mean you can hand over the things that don’t break easily, in order?”
Sighing at the elemental rage, she reached for her baby items.
“What are you doing?”
Ariel caught it.
“Because your spirit asked for help.”
“What?”
Ariel frowned, so she lowered her head to look at the wind spirit.
“Ah. Is it so hard to just organize some baby stuff? To the point where I need help from my baby’s dad?”
-Huh?! Ying Ying!
“Huh? You never said anything like that?”
Ariel turned her gaze to me, as if asking what this meant.
The wind spirit, this bastard?
“I never lied.”
“Is that so?”
-Yingying!
“Hey. Are you going to lie about something like this? A guy called a spirit?”
-Yingying!
“What the fuck?”
What a fuck you are pregnant. I didn’t even know she was pregnant, and I wasn’t even pregnant in the first place!
Those words got to her throat, but she held back, remembering the bright smile Ariel had given her when she introduced her baby products.
It was a time when I was trying to mock the spirits in other words.
“Ah. Do you want to die?”
Ariel’s bloody voice turned to the wind spirit.
What. Why are you suddenly
– Ying-ing..?
I wasn’t the only one who was perplexed.
Rather, the wind spirit who was involved was more embarrassed.
– Ying..!
“That’s right. Han Yuseong did something wrong to me. It’s true that I got hurt a lot because of that. But I agreed to forgive you during our conversation earlier? I decided to trust you one more time. But are you cursing Han Yuseong? My baby’s father?”
– Ying-ing!!
“Shut up. Shut up and do what you were doing.”
Ariel grabs my arm and pulls me up, probably thinking of not letting me look under the bed anymore.
-Huh…
I heard the voice of a spirited spirit from under the bed.
I feel sorry for you, but you talked too much, man.
As I was thinking about that, Ariel led me by the arm and climbed onto the bed. Then he put my hand on his stomach.
“Ariel?”
“Pause me. That way the baby will know you’re here.”
“Uh… Yes, yes.”
As Ariel requested, she gently stroked her belly.
“Don’t you think your stomach is a little out?”
No. To be honest, I’m too skinny. Are you eating rice?
“Baby. Dad is here, Dad. What are you doing? Say hello quickly.”
“…Hello, my baby.”
“Uh?! Did you just feel The kid said hi! They kicked me!”
Could it be that your organs are wriggling, not the child?
Looking at the location, it seems to be a small intestine.
“The child must be happy to meet his father for the first time.”
Ah. Please. Please don’t smile like that
Because I really want to commit suicide because of the guilt.
‘Fuck. What’s really going on with this?’
Is it worse than you think?
More than that, the elves have changed too much. The elf I knew was the always whining Kampf.
Not an elf soaked in maternal love!
‘Could I have been swapped with an elf?’
Maybe someone swapped Ariel for an elf who looked similar to Ariel when I wasn’t there.
I stared at Ariel’s face.
Light green hair and dense eyes, nose and mouth.
Everywhere you look, it’s Ariel.
Swallow. What?
If she wasn’t swapped, then she just got pregnant and her personality changed.
Does that make sense?
‘…It could make sense.’
The paper is different from me in the first place. She was wrong for trying to think in the same way.
‘Is there anyone around me who has elven slaves like me?’
Come to think of it, there was
An old silver-ranked adventurer named Cohen, who was active in the same adventure squad in the past.
The slaves serving him were elves.
‘I have to go and ask that elf…’
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
Maybe it’s because I looked at it for too long thinking about it?
Ariel asked bluntly.
What to answer
In the past, I would have just said anything, but not now. Even if it wasn’t because of Ariel’s misunderstanding, I couldn’t do it because of my guilt.
“Just because you’re pretty.”
So she answered roughly enough not to offend.
“What..?”
Ariel made a shocked expression.
Soon, her face turned red.
“Yeah, that’s natural. I’m an elf You’re talking obvious!”
Along with her face, her reddened ears pricked up.
If dogs have tails, do elves have ears? Seriously, she wondered. Of course, there are more important questions than that.
“Ariel, I’m curious, what is the gestation period for elves?”
“Time?”
“How long do you have to get pregnant to have a child?”
“That’s it…”
Ariel, immersed in her thoughts as she tapped her forehead…
“I don’t know.”
It sounded like this.
“You don’t know your pregnancy cycle? Does that make sense?”
Ariel pursed her lips when I asked as if I was being ridiculous.
“What should I do if I don’t know?”
“You used to live in an elf village. Are any of them pregnant?”
“…I didn’t expect the story of that village to come out of your mouth.”
“It was self-defense, so move on. So yes or no?
“No.”
“…Among those elves, none of them were lovers?”
“Of course there were elves who were lovers. But I am not pregnant.”
“Yeah..?”
You mean that?
Maybe this is a way out.
‘Elves have a long lifespan.’
Because they live long, the gestation period is very long.
How about going with a setting like that?
And before Ariel notices, she’s really pregnant after she’s done it all and married them all together.
Wouldn’t there be no problem with this?
Finding out that she was pregnant, Ariel, in despair, did something unexpected for her.
Seris or Kara can find out and prevent terrible things from happening.
If only I do well.
Good.
Let’s go with such a setup.
I smiled heartily.
And that night he was squeezed by Seris and Kara.
* * *
The next day I went to see Orca with a present in both hands.
“You may come in.”
Since Orca was now a palace mage, she had to enter the inner sanctum to meet her.
She had to get an entry permit from Orca through a soldier to enter the castle.
‘It would be difficult to reconcile if we fought.’
Because if Orca doesn’t give her her permit, she can’t even meet her.
At that time, she will have to sneak into the castle.
As I walked with silly thoughts, I arrived in front of Orca’s office before I knew it.
She knocked and her voice was heard.
-Han Yuseong? Come in.
After getting her permission, I opened her door and went in and saw Orca sitting at her desk doing business.
“Orca, long time no see.”
“Huh. Long time no see. I’ll be done with work soon, so would you mind sitting there and waiting for me?”
Orca didn’t even look at me and said, writing something of hers on her parchment.
‘…Could I be mad?’
You said you haven’t seen each other in a month?
I wish it wasn’t
With that thought in mind, she looked around her new office. The new office was different from the one in her adventure party.
If what was in the adventure group was close to that of an office worker only for work, this place, with many strange items on display, really felt like a wizard’s room.
“After… It’s over.”
Orca finished her work while I looked around the office and stretched her. She stood up after tidying up the parchments on her desk.
“Is today’s work over? Follow me, my room is not too far from here.”
“Okay.”
She followed Orca down the hallway. As she walked, she talked about this and that, but she didn’t feel her welcome.
It was a bit disappointing… But what should I do?
It was all my fault that I fell for a month in the first place.
“This is my room. Let’s go in.”
Orca went in first, followed by me.
I lightly closed the door.
-Kiik.
The door starts to close slowly and the moment it closes completely…
“Town?!”
Orca came with a surprise kiss with Wall Crawler.
– Clap.
The sound of a door lock.
– Support position.
The sound of my body breaking.
…Huh?
What? Wait for a sec. Lose strength in the body
Orca dragged me down, completely exhausted, and threw me onto the bed.
And she jumped right on top of me and started kissing me again.
“Tseu-eup… Chup… Churup… Haa… I thought I was going crazy because I wanted to see you.”
“I didn’t see it that way before.”
“You were a palace mage back then. After work, I came into the room, and now I am Orca, your lover again.”
“I see. But neither the orca nor her body move well.”
“I was paralyzed with electricity. But your magic resistance is really no joke. It only works if you increase the output tremendously. If I make a mistake, I’ll have to use all the mana stones I’ve bought so far today?”
“Uh… Orca? It’s because I don’t understand a little bit, so why did you paralyze me?”
“Should I be punished for neglecting me for a month?”
Orca began to undress her bit by bit.
In the end, she expected it to be like this… But suddenly she had a foreboding feeling.
I cautiously asked her.
“Orca… Are you not going to use lightning like last time?”
Orca didn’t answer.
No. She answered. With a smile
“Orca…? I bought a lot of presents, but let’s start with that…”
“Later.”
“Please. I hate it because it feels weird.”
“I really like the expression you make then.”
Orca smiled dangerously.
