## Chapter 597 – The Scent of Spring
I was spending leisurely days without much work.
As usual, I woke up early, trained until around two in the afternoon, took a refreshing shower, and then did some cleaning and tidying up. Since I was handling equipment maintenance, Alaune called me from the basement.
“Father!”
“Hmm, what is it?”
She was smiling brightly, looking very happy. But she was holding something in her hands—a flowerpot?
It seemed spring had already arrived, as a red flower was in full bloom.
“I have something to show you!”
“That thing in your hands?”
“Yes!”
Alaune approached and handed me the flowerpot.
I didn’t know what kind of flower it was, but the red petals were quite pretty. It even seemed to have a pleasant fragrance. Did she want to show me because she found a flower she liked?
It was a cute gesture in its own way.
“Oh, it’s a pretty flower. And it smells nice.”
“Really?!”
She seemed very pleased that I called it pretty. Alaune’s traits hadn’t gone anywhere; she still loved flowers. She’d probably love pretty flowers even more.
“Where did you get it?”
To my surprise, she replied, “I bloomed it myself!”
“What?”
She bloomed it herself?
“You bloomed this flower?”
“Yes. Risha-nim prepared the pot and seeds for me.”
“…”
Risha and she had been doing things like this in the basement. But to be able to bloom a flower… Could it be that she regained her strength because the season for flowers had come?
I didn’t know whether to be happy or terrified, but with Risha around, it should be fine.
“Hehe. I’m glad Father thinks it’s pretty.”
Alaune smiled as she put down the flowerpot.
It was a pure and refreshing smile, with no trace of the wickedness typical of monsters. Just like this fully bloomed flower.
This… I wasn’t sure, but I should probably praise her, right?
“Really.”
She kept glancing at me and smiling, as if asking for praise.
“Did I do well?”
She came to show me so proudly, so I had to tell her she did well. That’s what a father should do. Boosting her confidence was something I should definitely do.
“Father, the flower is really pretty.”
“Yeah, it is. Come here. You did well. The flower is pretty. You did a damn good job.”
“Yes!”
As soon as I opened my arms, Alaune hugged me and tried to burrow into my chest. She kept rubbing her face against my chest, acting exactly like my women.
“Hehe, Father. I love being hugged by you.”
“Yeah, yeah. Enjoy it as much as you want.”
I hugged Alaune and gently stroked the back of her head. A pleasant fragrance wafted from her long, red hair.
During the time I spent with Alaune, she hadn’t shown any malice typical of monsters. Well, if that happened, I could just educate her.
“More importantly, how did you do it? Do you remember how to use your abilities?”
“I don’t really know. I just looked at the seeds and somehow felt like I could do it…”
“Some kind of instinct, huh?”
Savanna herbivores can run as soon as they’re born.
That’s because it’s instinct. It’s the same for Alaune. Even without anyone teaching her, she can naturally do it when she sees seeds or plants.
Just like we move our fingers.
“Father… you’re so warm…”
“Don’t suck on my neck.”
“Can’t I? Everyone else always does.”
Alaune, sounding disappointed, took her mouth off my neck. No, even so, I can’t let her suck my neck.
I’ll die from internal bleeding.
“Hey, I told you not to say things like that, right?”
“Hmph… ugh, haa…”
“Hey, hey. Don’t shake your hips either.”
—Wiggle, wiggle.
Currently, Alaune was hugging me while I was sitting on the sofa. I often did this with my wives, and Alaune was trying to stimulate my thing by gently shaking her hips, as if imitating them.
“Haa… haa… haaah…!”
She was so focused that she even exhaled hot breaths.
“Get down.”
“Ah! No! I won’t do it! Please don’t let go! Father, I’m sorry!”
“This little…”
When I told her to get down, Alaune immediately stopped moving and hugged me tightly. She didn’t want to let go.
Am I that good?
“Hmm.”
Currently, Alaune was in her perfect adult form.
The appearance of a woman with a bewitching beauty and an extremely voluptuous and attractive figure.
Due to her racial traits and physical attributes, she was not only trying to seduce me but also seeing me as a sexual object.
I shouldn’t be saying this since I beat my meat to her every morning, but this was a very difficult problem. What am I supposed to do when she keeps offering to help me when I beat my meat? After scolding her severely once, she hasn’t been making much noise.
Originally, one loud scolding was enough.
I felt like I needed to educate her in some other way, but I wasn’t used to it, so I didn’t know what to do.
“…”
“Hmm? Is Alaune asleep?”
At some point, Alaune had closed her eyes while hugging me. Judging by her regular breathing, she seemed to have fallen asleep. Was she that tired? I wasn’t really pushing her too hard.
Well, I had finished training, and I didn’t have anything else to do, so I relaxed, stroking the back of the sleeping Alaune’s neck.
Trying not to get an erection.
—Thump, thump.
As I was resting, Winia came up from the basement.
“Tsk, tsk. That succubus is really head over heels for the darkie. I don’t like it.”
“Hehehe, Winia’s here?”
“What are you two doing?”
“Resting.”
Winia approached, grumbling, and slipped her hands between Alaune’s armpits, gently lifted her, and slowly sat her on the sofa next to us.
She didn’t wake up, probably because she was in a deep sleep.
Winia, having moved Alaune, naturally climbed on top of me and took her position. It seemed she wanted to be hugged by me, so I hugged her right away.
“What, you wanted a hug?”
“Yeah.”
Acting cute.
“Ah, darkie. Did you see that flowerpot?”
“Yeah. She said she bloomed it herself.”
“That’s right. I don’t really know what that means. I think it could be dangerous.”
Winia spoke as if she was being cautious. Of course, she could be. Alaune was a very dangerous monster.
Well, I had already decided to take responsibility and accept her, but I didn’t trust her 100%.
Her education level wasn’t very high yet.
I was personally teaching her about morality and ethics, but even people need ten years of education to be useful. There was no way she would become a fusion-Confucian girl after only a month of education.
“Risha’s here, so what are you worried about? And we’re here too. Don’t worry too much.”
“That’s true, but…”
“I’m still a little worried.”
“Yeah. That’s what I mean.”
In fact, with our family’s combat power, there was nothing to worry about.
Soon after, Risha also came up.
“Alaune is sleeping. Did you train hard this morning?”
“I trained really hard. I’ve already showered.”
Risha smiled and walked gracefully over, picking up the flowerpot on the table.
“…She bloomed a flower before my very eyes. She put her hand on the pot and concentrated a little, and then the sprout emerged and the petals unfolded.”
“Is that a very unusual thing?”
“If we only consider the phenomenon, it’s quite unusual since it’s an extreme acceleration of growth.”
I didn’t know much about magic, so I just took it as it was.
I asked Risha about the phenomenon.
“I don’t know the details, but it’s most accurate to say that she can instinctively exert her unique power over plants.”
“…Because she’s the Queen of Flowers.”
She can instinctively control plants.
That’s the same even in her incomplete state.
“Well, did you find out anything else?”
“Hmm… something else. Besides personal research, I’ve also been looking into the legends.”
Winia added to Risha’s words, saying that she had also helped.
“There’s a legend that you can create an elixir of immortality using a special fruit created by Alaune.”
“What? Immortality?!”
So Qin Shi Huang wasn’t wrong after all…!
“Perhaps they associated the power to promote plant growth with vitality. Of course, there are no examples of that. So don’t be surprised.”
“Damn it.”
For a moment, I thought I had hit the jackpot, but it seemed to be just an exaggerated rumor.
“Darkie, it seems like there’s a common thing called ‘fruit.'”
“Fruit?”
Winia added.
Anyway, Alaune can create special fruits, and they’re supposedly very good for health. If that’s true, then someday our Alaune might be able to create something like that.
“There’s not much information, so there’s almost nothing we can find out. But try to raise her well. She follows you so well, so if you keep giving her affection, you might receive such a gift.”
“Hehehe, that’s true.”
Alaune was sleeping quietly in the position Winia had put her in earlier.
“…”
Looking at her sleeping face, she seemed just like an ordinary person. If you took away her sharp eyes and unique pupils, there was nothing strange about her.
The Alaune I fought fiercely with back then was wearing flower accessories. She seemed to have a big flower in her hair, and she was styling herself with long boots and long gloves made of leaves.
Above all, she was 2m tall, so she looked like a monster at first glance… but not our Alaune.
“By the way, are you going to keep calling her Alaune?”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Isn’t it inconvenient to keep calling her that? You’ll have to go outside, so it’ll be easier to call her if you give her a name.”
“Ah. That’s true.”
It wouldn’t be good to call her Alaune outside. That’s like calling a girl’s name Kobold or Dryad.
A name, a name…
“It’s not urgent, so take your time to think about it. But since you’re raising her, it’s better to give her a good name.”
“A name… I haven’t really thought about it.”
Even if I called her something different now, it might not feel right, but after listening to Risha, I realized that I wasn’t paying enough attention.
What kind of name is Alaune for a girl?
I thought for a moment and asked Winia, who was in my arms.
“Winia, do you have any good names?”
“I don’t know. I’m not giving her one.”
Winia answered immediately.
“Why? Help me out.”
“I’ll name her when I’m pregnant with your baby, darkie.”
“Wh-what!! Winia!!”
She’ll only name her when she’s pregnant with my baby!!!
This was a statement that really damaged my heart.
“Hehe. Why would I name her if she’s not your baby?”
“Such exciting words…!”
I had already gotten an erection that was about to burst my pants.
“I can’t let this stand.”
I need to give Winia a pounding.
I immediately got up and picked up Winia.
“Darkie’s getting excited again.”
“You made me excited, so be prepared.”
“Did you like it that much?”
“A lot.”
“Hehe, then will you do it standing up?”
Winia, in my arms, said that while acting cute.
“How did you know?”
“How could I not? Then let’s go up.”
With that, I picked up Winia and went up the stairs to the second floor.
As I went up, I briefly thought about the name I would give Alaune.
First of all, names like Flower or Rose, which I hate, wouldn’t work. Since I was giving her a name, I had to give her a good one, but I didn’t have anything in mind, so nothing came to mind.
Giving a shitty name is also a form of child abuse.
I first saw the name Yuryun when I went to the army. It was fortunate that the kid had a good personality, but if he had been a jerk, I would have had a prejudice that he became that way because of his name.
Anyway, you shouldn’t joke around with names.
It can also become a kind of curse.
Ala, Ala… Aladdin is too shitty. Above all, it’s not a name that can be used for a girl. But why does Al-Qaeda suddenly come to mind? Kim Kat, you shitty bastard.
“Darkie, what are you thinking about?”
“Thinking about Winia.”
When I said that reflexively, Winia smiled as if she liked it.
“Hehe. It’s so funny, really.”
“No, what is?”
“Just… you’re just funny.”
Well, let’s take our time to think about it.
Right now, Winia is the most important thing.
