Chapter 463: Dinner With My Wife

-----
Indeed, I was completely right! The deep fried batter-covered legs of the Spiders are even tastier than fried shrimp! And when you pour the sweet teriyaki sauce and soy sauce…
Crunch…
Ah, what a deadly combination of flavors. I can't get enough of fried food like this.
The croquettes I made were just as good. I had triturated the boiled meat and then merged it with cream, making a good paste. This paste was then made into balls after adding some more flour, and then I covered them in batter and crunchy breadcrumbs, making it an ultimate deep fried meal.
They were the best in a sandwich, with some ice lettuce and tomatoes, the flavors went very well together, a slice of melted cheese made it even deadlier. This was a delicacy in the form of a simplistic sandwich…
At the end, we devoured everything in just half an hour, and we ended lazing around over the beds while resting with our bellies filled.
Ah nothing better than lazing around when you get satisfied. There's literally nothing better at all, really…
I just want to forget everything for a little moment and just enjoy this. I wish I could be in modern Earth with Benladann so we could live ordinary lives and not worry about annoying stuff like wars, cultivation, magic, growing stronger, the world going against us, or greenwood…
Seriously, such annoying crap.
Oh well, not like it doesn't has its exciting parts, being in a high fantasy world is really fun sometimes.
But for now, I had decided it was more than enough, for the moment we decided to rest and relax for a bit, I looked into the window and saw the sect slowly build up again.
The walls were being repaired swiftly and the entire palace might be repaired completely in a few more days.
"Phew, I feel like I've been lazing around for way too long… Ah, my belly got so heavy… I don't think it is just the food, it really got heavy!" she said.
We suddenly noticed something, Benladann's belly had increased around a centimeter overnight.
Did our child got a growth spurt out of nowhere? I guess it is not unlikely… System, can you clarify?

I see…
"I think it is because of the things we just ate, they were filled with mana, the baby really liked them." I said.
"Oooh! Hehe… Wanna touch my belly?" asked Benladann with an adorable little smile.
"O-Of course…"
I gently touched Benladann's belly with the palm of my hand. It felt nice. Her belly was so warm and soft… If I concentrated, I was even able to sense our child's heart beating…
I put my eyes into the task of observing, as I glanced through the skin and saw the fetus. It had grown very big, almost as if it were about to be born in just a few more days.
I am honestly quite nervous. How do you even do parenting? What will I need to do? And even worse, all in the middle of this stupid war drama.
Ah well, I've already decided that I will try to solve things quickly, so they won't bother me as much, so there's no problem there.
Nonetheless, I have not to worry so much at this very moment, but treasure this little gift that Benladann had brought to me.
"Its so cute… I love it so much…" I sighed.
"Hehe… Right? I always feel it within me, the little and cute baby… I feel its heart beating, how it is absorbing energy, how it is growing and developing… I never feel alone." She said.
"I am also here with you too, so you'll never feel alone either way." I said.
"Right… It's gonna be hard to raise it but let's do our best, okay? We can always ask for help to mama and papa, they raised me just fine after all." Said Benladann.
"You're more than right. We can ask help to mother-in-law and father-in-law for it." I said.
"Right~ With their help things should be just fine! Now we just have to concentrate into this and rise it well, I want it to be a nice person, okay? If possible…" she said.
"I understand. I am not teaching it anything bad, so don't worry about it, dear." I said as I hugged her.
"I love you…" she said.
"I-I love you too…" I said.
"After this one, let's have another!" she said.
"Eh? Aren't you being a bit… fast? Maybe we shouldn't hurry up in this…" I said.
"No, no, its fine! I think I can take another right away." She said.
"B-Benladann you don't have to…" I said.
"But I want to!" she said.
"E-Eh?!" I asked in surprise.
"I-I want a big family! So we gotta have a ton of them!" said Benladann.
"I-I… I am fine with having more children, but let's wait a bit. Let's raise the first one first… okay? This is my decision… So please respect it." I said.
"Oh… Alright, okay. Makes sense… I guess I was being a bit pushy there… Sorry… I-I am just so nervous and happy, so excited… Our love is finally giving fruit to something so beautiful… Don't you think?" she asked.
"I do, I think so too… I am very happy." I said.
"Will you stay with me forever, Drake?" asked Benladann.
"Of course…" I said.
"Really?" she asked again.
"Without a doubt." I said.
"I don't want to ever go away from you… So you better stick with me forever! We'll live forever too… Somehow. They say that immortals can live a lot!" said Benladann.
"Haha, I think that's not really a problem for now…" I sighed.
"Y-You're right…" she sighed.
"Let's go one step at a time, Benladann."
"Sure…"
