Chapter 98 – 7. A Brief Break (15)
YuRia, who had been managing the forest of cedar trees, sighed as she looked down at the village, which hadn’t changed much compared to when she first came.
At one time, he didn’t even want people to find out about his existence, so he dug a hole in the mountain and lived there, but now he’s the lord who rules this village.
It seems like nothing really has changed, but so many things have changed.
No.
Perhaps the only things that have changed are Roa’s house and herself.
Glance at her and see Loa and her own home. Next to her, her new mansion, her own, caught her eye.
And. Loa, who was training in front of him with the holy sword out, too.
With a sigh, Loa’s sword cut through the air vertically.
The sword that cut through the air very quickly without making any sound again cut through the air in an X shape without making any sound.
And at that moment, the log that had been erected beyond the reach of the sword was cut into pieces and tumbled across the floor.
“Whoa…”
Roa, who was holding her breath as if she had finally reached the level of a knight, looked back at the sound of applause coming from behind her.
“You’ve gotten a lot better than I thought.”
“Not yet… Not yet”
Her primary goal is to single-handedly achieve a level of ability that wiped out the boar and goblin synthetic chimeras she mistook for orcs when she first united with Yuria.
At least that much would be enough to not become Yuria’s burden wherever she went.
“But. Looking at Loa now, no one would believe the person who just held the sword last year?”
At YuRia’s words, Roa scratched the back of her head as if she was not cool.
“But it’s true that we’re still far away.”
At Roa’s words, Yuria smiled brightly.
“It’s good to work hard without being conceited because you’ve grown quickly. But don’t overdo it. You’re growing fast enough.”
“Yeah… I won’t overdo it.”
Loa summoned her holy sword, held it in her hand, and practiced the sky in earnest.
An auspicious technique that starts with her own weapon and ends with her own weapon.
Each time the aura passed through her holy sword and returned to her body, it gradually became clearer and purer, and the amount gradually increased.
As her aura became clear, her mind naturally became clear, and her impatience, which had settled in a corner of her mind, slowly subsided.
Okay. Let’s not rush. Slowly, but steadily.
Let’s keep moving forward little by little.
Yuria quietly watched Roa, who fell into a trance before she knew it.
She is a little bit, but today, while looking at Roa who has taken a step forward with admiration.
* * * * *
Ugh… Uh huh…
Roa woke up to the sound of something grunting, rubbing her eyes and looking around. For some reason, she found Yuria grunting and crying.
She wondered what the hell she was doing, so she put her hand on YuRia’s forehead, but she didn’t seem to have a fever or low body temperature.
“Sir, sir… Don’t worry…”
What the hell is going on in your dream?
Tears flowed incessantly from the corners of her big eyes.
Roa, contemplating whether to watch her a little longer or whether she should wake her up right now, thought that if it was a nightmare anyway, wouldn’t it be better for her to wake up a little earlier? Called quietly.
“Kyaaak-!!”
At that moment, her hair stood on end! YuRia, who had woken up from her slumber and was very startled, looked around her with her hair floating for a long time.
“Yu, Yuria?”
“Heh! Heo! Heo!”
YuRia, who couldn’t calm down for a long time after waking up from her slumber, finally twirled and looked at her loa and said, ‘Ro, loa?’ She does, as if she doesn’t quite grasp reality yet. She asks whether her mind is gradually returning to reality. She looks at Loa in a daze. .
“Sss… Uhhhhh! Black!”
“Yuria…”
“It was a dream… Fortunately, it was a dream…”
Roa, who had been sobbing for a long time with her devastated expression, held her in her arms and patted her. He looked at him and made a slightly puzzled expression.
She woke up, but she went to bed alone…
Roa, who had been making a moaning sound, lay down again, thinking that she should ask what the hell she was dreaming about tomorrow.
For some reason, as Yuria burrowed more into her arms today, she found it more difficult to sleep.
She kept her eyes closed for a while, but when Loa woke up, she realized that her side was empty and headed for her bathroom.
She’s smart and I knock on her door and say ‘Loa?’ YuRia’s voice came from inside her.
“Yes. It’s me.”
“Come in”
Entering her bathroom, she must have already finished her bath, and YuRia, who was already wearing her suit and was drying her damp hair, caught her eye.
“Do you remember last night?”
“Last night…?”
YuRia wanted to say something, but at that moment, her complexion turned pale and her body began to tremble.
“Ah…”
“Poem, if it’s a bad memory, don’t recall it!”
She was curious, but seeing Yuria so frightened, Roa couldn’t bear to ask her to tell her the details of her dream.
“…This has already come to mind.”
“I-I’m sorry…”
“Oh, no… Were you worried a lot yesterday?”
At YuRia’s words, Roa hesitated for a moment before nodding her head.
“I had a dream. No, rather than a dream, I probably saw another possibility of myself in the form of a dream…”
After she sighed, Yuria looked down at her stomach with a very uneasy expression.
“In my dream… I had a child in my stomach and I was being gang-raped… People were beating my stomach and harassing my child…”
With her elongated eyes shaking and looking very anxious, Yuria continued her words.
“I went out of my mind because I was in so much pain, but I came back to my senses because I was in so much pain.
At her words, Roa held Yuria in her arms again and comforted her.
“Calm down. My child will be fine. If Yuria doesn’t take off her suit, that won’t happen, right?”
“Oh, maybe?”
“I’ll cooperate. Let’s not take off the suit from now on.”
YuRia nodded her head, still engulfed in her fear, and tumbled into Roa’s arms.
“So, please calm down. This won’t be good for the child either.”
“Oh, yes baby… My baby…”
Whoa, whoa, took a deep breath and tried hard to calm her mind, but Yuria was half-forced, but she was barely able to calm down.
She looked a little uneasy, but Loa sighed and let out a sigh inside her.
How do I do this
Roa regretted it. She’d rather not watch and wake her up right away.
But, in fact, it seemed to her that by then it would be too late.
It was bittersweet.
Even if it was just a dream, Yuria had been through such a thing to the point that her mind would collapse again.
YuRia, who had barely been able to stabilize herself, became very uneasy again, like a glass bowl full of gold.
Even for the sake of her baby in her belly, she was forcibly suppressing her emotions and trying to calm down, but she looked so sad that Roa hugged her Yuria tightly.
Are you okay. I’m here.
Loa woke up in the morning and her arm went numb.
She gave her an arm pillow for YuRia, who could not easily calm down and fall asleep, and Yuria, who slept on her arm pillow in Roa’s arms, could barely fall asleep.
That’s how she even saw YuRia asleep, and it seemed that she herself fell asleep before she knew it.
“Um…”
As Yuria’s stomach swelled, she was afraid that she would ejaculate inside her while she was sleeping, so lately I’ve been sleeping without inserting it inside of her, so I felt a little empty, but I still came into her arms and cut my arm to sleep. Seeing Yuria standing there, Roa carefully touched her breasts.
Seriously, what is a woman’s breast? Even if you touch it every day, you never get tired of it and it is always desirable.
Especially, Yuria’s breasts are especially prettier.
But today’s Yuria was an iron wall.
“Ah, suit…”
The hard black suit felt like touching a stone in the shape of a chest.
Strangely, according to YuRia’s movements, she sometimes fluctuates and changes her shape. If you look at it like this, the shape of YuRia’s breasts will change, but the feeling is that it’s really hard.
I’m sorry…
While they slept together, they would still take off their suits, but apparently, the dream of last night had shocked them.
It wasn’t until she woke up that she found out that no one actually violated her. Even if she knew that the child was also safe, she would have been trampled terribly at that moment.
Roa herself in the past knew it because she had experienced it.
It’s a dream, but it’s something that can never be turned into a dream.
She knew nothing about women, but the opportunity that made her know a little bit about women now.
What if world.
She said if she herself was born a woman. She said that if there is a world in which Yuria was born as a man, she is what she is. She herself experienced that world in her dreams through her Yuria’s abilities.
In it, she herself became a woman.
And it was herself instead of Yuria who was raped by the village chief’s son in her dream, and that experience still vividly lingered in her mind as an indelible scar.
It was a deep scar that did not disappear even after returning to being a man.
Actually experience it. I know because I heard the explanation.
It was in the form of a dream, but rather than really a dream, it was something that actually existed somewhere.
The Yuria in her somewhere actually experienced something like that, and Yuria experienced that.
That’s why the shock was something incomparable to a normal dream.
“Yuria, are you sleeping?”
“Ugh…”
YuRia, who tossed and turned her body around her for a while, slowly opened her eyes.
“Eh… Are you awake?”
YuRia, who had barely opened her eyes as if she was very sleepy, turned her head to look at her face and put on a very languid expression.
“How are you?”
“I’m blue…”
Although the shock from last night had faded a bit, it still remained and tormented Yuria.
“How can our Yuria regain her energy?”
“…”
Looking at Yuria who was looking at her with a little strange look, Roa brushed Yuria’s hair, and for a long time, Yuria, who was looking at Roa with that strange look that didn’t know what kind of emotion she was having, noticed the black part of her suit’s chest. Partially released.
“…”
Are you asking me to touch your chest?
When I touched YuRia’s bare chest like that, YuRia huh… She did and she groaned and pushed her back into her own arms more and more.
“For some reason… Even though they touch my body the same way, Loa’s touch soothes my heart…”
“…”
“Their hands were so terrible, as if many snakes were wrapped around the body, but somehow I feel healed by the touch of a loa…”
For some reason, at those words of YuRia, Roa did not feel any sexual feelings from touching YuRia’s chest.
Just just.
He caressed Yuria’s chest with a heart and feeling that soothed her wounded child.
Just like touching the wounds in your heart that you suffered in a dream.
“Thank you…”
* * *
The bathing time, which would normally double as a time for love, was short and simple, and after washing our bodies, we went to the mansion for a slightly late breakfast.
The party, who had already had breakfast, did not show any particular reaction to us, who were a little late, and greeted us with morning greetings.
‘Are you a little late? It could be late,’ a light response.
While we were sitting around the table and eating together, Er suddenly asked.
“Yuria unnie. What’s wrong?”
“…”
What did Er say? And looked at YuRia.
Yuria, who lived with Roa and had always had a bright face lately, had a very dark expression for some reason.
“What’s going on? Did something go wrong with him?
As Allen’s back smashed behind Cashwyn’s back, Cashewyn let out a loud scream.
“No, there’s nothing I can’t say. What are you saying!?”
Is it because she became a mother? Allen began to be more responsive to her child-related comments than she had been before.
“Ahhhhh… No, there’s nothing that would make Yuria so depressed.”
“Oh, it’s okay. The children… That, she just had a nightmare.”
At those words, the table became quiet as if cold water had been poured on them.
“Ah…”
“Keuhmm! Hmm!!”
Everyone knew what Yuria had been through.
If she had experienced such things, it wouldn’t be strange at all for her to have nightmares. She said that every single thing Yuria went through was terrible, and that today was just about to come.
In the midst of such a gloomy atmosphere, Cashwyn got up from her seat and clapped! And applauded to lighten the atmosphere.
“Let’s go. The more we do this, the more we have to make it fun. If we do this, only YuRia will become more depressed, right?”
“That’s right”
“Sir, you made a mistake.”
At that moment, Err came to her senses and clung to Yuria, raising her unique lively tension to the fullest.
“Unni! Unni! Let’s eat and play in the water? Yes?”
“That, yes…”
Seeing Er like that, Roa, who was usually considered a nuisance, felt something thankful today.
Maybe it was because of my unique vivacity, because it brought up the atmosphere at once that could have subsided infinitely.
Perhaps it was because of Er that YuRia could not recall the dark memories of her past, she suddenly thought.
‘If you think so, she must be wrong for thinking very badly about Er… ‘
Maybe Er’s actions were for her own sake.
Of course, during the process, she did not understand her partner well and unintentionally caused a lot of rudeness, but even so, if she taught her clearly, she would never make that mistake again.
But. She was only shorter than he was, but Er was a year older than him.
She’s trying to treat such Er as a child, so she’s a little strange, but what can she do?
In terms of her ethnicity, Er was actually still quite young.
She was in a very delicate mood in many ways.
And after the meal, we went out to play in the artificial pond built in front of the mansion and realized that this was the first time we had come out to play in the pond, and felt a bit awkward.
“Kyaa~”
Flapping their gray fluffy wings, Allen’s babies were curious about the water they were seeing for the first time and were stroking the water surface with their hands.
Looking at Allen, Yuria immediately knew the reason.
Her stretched shoulders twitched.
No…
The seat of the vanished wing.
Seeing her own wings flutter, she must have wiggled her own wings that had been cut from her forgotten roots.
Even though she had lost them as a child and had forgotten them now, seeing her own child fluttering her wings, she also seemed to have resurfaced her forgotten wings.
“…Hmm”
YuRia was quietly lost in her thoughts.
How will we do it.
After thinking about it for a while, Yuria let out a sigh.
In this day and age, it might be too much, but let’s make it.
For her Allen, how great must be her desire to fly through the skies with a child of her own.
‘I’m going to be a bit busy in the future. Cedar groves need better care. The Territory Reform Project is also being prepared. The lake needs more work. And I have to make Allen’s wings before Allen’s children grow bigger… ‘
As she had a lot of new things to do, her depressed mind flew away before she knew it.
This is why it seems that those who are sick are becoming worker worms.
“Later, when the lake is finished, make a small ferry and float a boat. Let’s go fishing and have fun.”
“Isn’t it over?”
“Not yet. Now I have to spread some soil on the floor and plant a tank. I have to move these and that creatures one by one.”
If you put in the big fish from the beginning, the ecosystem will be destroyed.
We have to fill the ecosystem from the bottom step by step. If we fill it from the top predator, it will be a mess from the beginning. No matter what, the basics come first.
“Because the ecosystem is such a delicate thing. It took a really long time for humans to understand that area. It is said that the harmony of this ecosystem that continues the flow of life rather than the existence of life proves the existence of God.”
It is very difficult to artificially create an ecosystem.
No matter how small the model.
Okay.
Just like me
* * * * *
YuRia slowly started to change her village.
She did not step out herself, but through Mr. Merkin, she maintained the village, maintained the fields, and asked Mr. Ton Def to introduce new farming tools.
If it was roughly flat, the field was plowed, seeds were sown and harvested, and the land was properly terraced, square, and flat, and heaved with large rocks.
That alone made the distribution of land easier and the clearing of land could be done more systematically.
At first, the villagers who complained about having to do something troublesome were very comfortable when the terraced rice fields and land were standardized, and in addition, the development of agricultural waterways and the introduction of the concept of primitive water and sewage systems. Enhanced sanitation through the collection and composting of manure.
And the increase in production that will be revealed over time, and so on.
Even the keuts in the village who complained that there was no work in the past started to complain in a different way as the village ran around busily without a break.
It’s the first time, anyway, it’s the lord.
And since there was a big mistake they had done to Yuria, they complained but worked meaninglessly in the sense of repaying the light of their heart, but as they came to benefit and convenience one by one, the villagers properly followed the instructions given by Yuria. It started.
YuRia, who had had other people do things for her, realized that as summer passed, autumn passed, and winter entered, she was getting pregnant and now she could no longer postpone it.
Now, more than any other schedule, it was time to hurry up the completion of this medicine.
When the pain starts, you won’t even be able to try anymore.
From the moment childbirth begins, we lose all abilities.
Because the manifestation of the unconscious ability to really protect oneself in so much pain could have killed the child, it is completely blocked.
* * *
Roa, who had climbed the mountain with Yuria in her arms for the first time in a while, really didn’t feel Yuria at all heavy anymore.
However, Loa’s steps were really cautious.
Because the lives of two people were held in her arms.
And on Roa’s back, the backpack borrowed from Uncle Cashwin was well tied.
With the intention of finishing the production and intake right in the forest of cedar trees, the tools and sub-materials necessary for refining were packed.
“It may be a little early, but if labor starts, you may not even be able to do it at all, so now is probably the best time.”
“How was the future that Yuria saw?”
At that, Yuria smiled.
“Actually, I won’t die even if I don’t take this medicine. I’ll just blow the year away in a half-death state.”
“…”
“Oh, no. That’s the worst case scenario.”
Seeing Roa look so serious, Yuria hurriedly corrected her words, but she really did.
Yuria was terrified as she watched herself gasping for nearly a year after her silence followed was broken and she suffered excessive blood loss.
As I told Loa, it was the worst case, but it wasn’t even that low.
Because one out of three in the future was like that.
‘Really… Why is our silence followed so strong against external force, but so weak against internal force?’
The silence followed is already sharp once! As for Yuria, who had had the experience of being broken, she also wanted her silence followed to go out, as much as she wanted to avoid it.
She was rescued by Loa from a group of Teverein Tutz and held in her loa’s arms. In so much pain from her broken silence followed creaking, Yuria almost fainted, but somehow she tried to keep her pretended to smile
I’m afraid Roa will be worried. Loa must be sad.
The intestines, which had already become porridge, did not even know they were so painful because the painful places themselves had disappeared.
She was just losing the life she needed. She was slowly fading away from any signs of life, but her lungs and heart were battered but not damaged, so she somehow held on to her lifeline and endured and endured.
Compared to that time, wouldn’t this be a crisis?
But.
Even so, the worst case that would happen after her birth had to be compared with the physical condition of the day, so she ran the worst, so it was inevitable that she was afraid.
“Then… What about after taking the medicine?”
“In the worst case, there are no significant aftereffects, and it ends with me being madly sick and suffering, and even the probability of such a worst case occurring is about one in ten.”
It should be said that it is fortunate that the forest of cedar trees is not cold even in the middle of winter.
While sitting in her comfortable chair she had prepared in advance, watching Roa prepare this and that, YuRia picked her fruits on the spot and began piling them up.
And other ingredients prepared in advance and the fruit of the cedar tree. And Yuria, who made medicine with habis flowers, took her medicine on the spot, felt the medicinal effect hotly flowing through her body, and waited for the medicinal effect to be fully absorbed.
And while smiling at Roa waiting next to me, I have already ‘progressed’ the change in my body beforehand.
If labor comes earlier than expected, there is no problem.
By the time spring arrives, he has expressed his ability in advance to change at a very slow pace so that he can return to his original form, which is a complete adult.
“Hey, Roa. I’m going to keep growing little by little, so shouldn’t you be surprised?”
“Huh?”
“Ah, no… After all, it’s too painful to give birth to a small body…”
Exactly, it’s dangerous.
“Okay, are you okay?”
“It’s okay. Now, as long as I don’t use my abilities, I can maintain my original form for about two or three months.”
Okay.
In other words, I shouldn’t use my abilities even if it’s not the time to give birth.
Unless you want to go back to normal due to lack of strength in the middle and experience a very painful difficult birth.
That’s why, knowingly and unknowingly, I took all the abilities I was using, and my body felt so heavy.
“So I’ll take good care of you while the baby is born?”
“Yes”
For a while, the road to hardship was open to Loa.
