Chapter 509.2

“…I understand. But you, if there’s something wrong, be sure to tell me, okay?” (Yuki)
“I’m sure it won’t make any difference even if I told you. I understand already, it is not like I will be stubborn about it. Women are strong. Right, Xena?” (Lefi)
“Yes, yes. Men have men’s strength, but women have women’s strength.” (Xena)
“That’s right. So Yuki, just keep yourself calm and wait.” (Lefi)
“Hey, hey” (Yuki)
I knew that women have their own strengths. That point was true even in my previous life. However, even knowing so wouldn’t reduce my concern.
But then again, I wonder what would happen to my child’s race.
I would laugh if he were to be a [High Lord] or a [Demon Dragon] like me from the moment he was born. Or maybe even a [High Dragon Lord]? Sounds super strong.
……Yeah, realistically, it might start as a [Dragonoid]. I was wondering how much of my power as a Demon Lord – or rather, the power of the dungeon – would be passed on to the child.
I have already thought of a name… regardless of gender the child may be.
I was sure Lefi and I would discuss it further, but I doubt it would change much from what I have in mind right now.
Then, after taking one more look at Lefi, Xena then started to look at another person.
“This one is easy to understand. We still have to see how it progresses, but there should be no problem if we think of it as the normal gestation period of a typical humanoid race. So I would say she has about seven months to go. Everything is going well.”
“Heheh, is that so? Everything is going well?”
Lyuu smiled at Xena’s words.
–Yes, Lyuu was also pregnant.
It was only about a month and a half ago that the ladies noticed the change in Lyuu’s health.
I couldn’t tell you how many times I went around hugging Lyuu when I found out.
“You, too, tell me if there’s any change in your health condition, okay?” (Yuki)
“I’m fine! I’m going to use this time to get a lot of pampering from my husband!” (Lyuu)
“Oh, you said it so proudly in front of him.” (Xena)
“Hehehe, from now on, I will be a mother as well! I will definitely grow stronger!” (Lyuu)
Lyuu puffed out her chest and looked proud of herself.
She was adorable with every move she made.
“I hope things are going well for both of you…”
I turned my head towards Nell, who chuckled a bit, and she turned to me and said.
“That’s right, that… Onii-san! I’m almost done with my work! Just a little bit more time and the system will be able to manage without me… so just wait for me!”
Nell, who had been gradually reducing her hero work compared to how busy she was before, used to work in the royal capital, but now she had already switched to working in the frontier city [Alfiero], which was the closest city to the Demon Forest in the Allysia Kingdom.
I have also set up a door near Alfiero, so unless there was an emergency, She was able to come back every day.
This was also another huge benefit of airships.
The airships were developed by the Elrene Coalition, and as their usefulness became well known, they were introduced to many countries at a rapid pace, and even now, the routes they take continue to expand.
The Allysia Kingdom, one of the largest countries in the world, seriously expanded its airship fleet, and now owned more than a dozen of them, with more and more landing and servicing stations and mechanics being added.
Thanks to this, a system had started to be put in place to make sure that help could immediately be deployed in the the location where something happened, and it became possible to deploy the necessary forces to the site where they were needed at a speed unmatched in the past.
Nell also benefited from this, as she was allowed to work in Alfiero, located at the edge of the country, and was able to return home every day.
I believe that they built the station in Alfiero out of concern for me… and I was truly grateful for that.
As long as I was based in Demon Forest, the Allysia Kingdom would always be my neighbor, and I would like to continue to get along with them.
Speaking of which, the Beastmen, especially the Warwolf clans like Lyuu, often visited Alfiero to increase their friendship with other races, and I have informed them of Lyuu’s pregnancy.
They also told me that they would like to come here once the baby was born, and of course, I said yes, so I was sure they would come back to visit us soon.
