Vol. 2 Chapter 184

Pregnancy

Translated by Raizu

The second fang in Operation Serpents Fang, the capture of Reisleaf Castle.

45 Nambonan militias died in this battle. The military officers comment on this was, [A lot more deaths than I thought].

The defending Spierzeig army was a force with Knights as the main force. Against this, the Quordenze brought a Lord-class army consisting mainly of nobles, with multiple Knights and Lord-class soldiers under their command. In other words, the Quordenze had an overwhelming advantage when it came to the resource of magic power.

The Quordenze side, who had plenty of time to activate attack magic, body strengthening magic, and healing magic, was able to achieve a victory while the damage to the soldiers was minor, partly because they were able to complete the decisive battle in a short period of time.

According to the military officer, considering that it was a siege battle, the total number of casualties was very small.

Despite this, the Nambonan militias still took casualties.

This was because they attacked more daringly than the soldiers of any other unit, and sometimes fought with all their might that even the commander, Raylight, could not control.

Of course, this is a big point to reflect on. Because of their excessive sense of mission, and the exhilaration and excitement of being addicted to the masters physical strengthening magic, they fought with savage bravery. Normally, the number of casualties couldve been suppressed to less than half.

However, the reputation among military officers was not bad.

Its good that Nambonan soldiers are loyal to Young Master, even though they are commoners. Since they were put into action without training, it cant be helped that they would go out of control when partaking in physical enhancement. There were many positive evaluations that they would be a good soldier who could fight better next time.

However, dead soldiers can no longer know that.

All I can do is tell the bereaved families about their successes and give meaning to their deaths. Thats a job that only I, the Commander-in-Chief, can do.

[Fuu.]

While thinking about such things, I touched the stone monument placed in front of me.

The soldiers lined up behind me, as well as the large crowd of citizens watching me from behind, were silent as if watching my every move.

The coolness of the stone could be felt on my fingertips.

I felt a calmness that somehow led to the world of death. Thinking about the lives that have been lost, I closed my eyes and continued my posture.

[Your service at Reisleaf was splendid.]

I didnt use expansion magic, and told the stone monument in a small voice.

While saying that, I realized that its an uncharacteristic line for a person from the Eruo continent. Those words fit an earthling more.

When I let go of the stone monument, I make a solemn expression as much as possible and turn around.

I met the eyes of the representative of the Nambonan militias who were standing diagonally behind me.

[Sprinkle it.]

[.thank you..]

With just one word of instruction, I began to withdraw from the center of attention.

Gazes seemed to follow me wherever I went, but when I mounted my horse, multiple military officers moved around me. It naturally played the role of a curtain.

As a result, the crowds gaze was no longer on me, but on the representatives of the Nambonan militias left in front of the stone monument.

Looking behind through the gap in the military officers body, the representatives of the Nambonan militias were in the middle of scattering dirt in front of the stone monument.

The spectacle of picking up dirt in a bucket-like box and throwing it into the sky is a bit like a sumo wrestler sprinkled with salt before a sumo wrestling match.

I was responsible for burning the dead bodies.

Cremation using the Highlords magical power who has extremely high firepower that could never be imagined by civilians, and there was not even ashes left in the corpse. This is the finest funeral on the Eruo continent.

However, the Nambonan militias were perplexed by this. It seems that they did not think that there would be no ashes left. Apparently, they wanted to return the ashes of their comrades-in-arms to their hometown of Nambonan City.

In light of the Eruo continents view of life and death, if a persons body completely disappears, they can become part of the spirits that are omnipresent in the Eruo continent, so it should be the same no matter where the corpse is disposed of. However, the human heart cannot be determined by reason alone. I thought it was very natural to feel the desire to return the dead to their hometown.

In the end, they scraped up the soil from the crematorium and brought it back to Nambonan City.

The feeling of thinking about my hometown and the sight of the group collecting dirt reminded me of the high school baseball Koshien tournament.

Before I knew it, not only the representative but also other Nambonan soldiers and bereaved families had begun to participate in the sowing.

Where did the cool air from a few minutes ago go?

[Young Master, you must be tired]

[No, I dont mind. You handled this large number well.]

Several civil servants working at Nambonan City Hall approached us.

I told them that I would visit the monument before entering the city when I returned to Nambonan this time.

It seemed that the rumor of my return had already spread in Nambonan City, so it was expected that a large number of citizens would rush if we suddenly started a worship event. Therefore, in order to avoid confusion, the Nambonan City Hall staff, including civil officers, were running around in preparation for my return. Its a lot of work.

As a result, it was right to contact them in advance, as there were so many citizens that I thought they could loot as much as they wanted.

This monument, which should also be called the Nambonan Memorial Monument, was set up outside Nambonan City. If you go west from Nambonan City and walk along the largest road, an adult can reach it in about 15 minutes.

This is a point that peddlers coming from the west must pass through, and we were planning to pass through it when returning from Reisleaf Castle this time. Since it was troublesome to come out after entering the city once, I decided to visit the shrine on the way.

[It has become something splendid in a short while.]

It was a simple monument where the stone materials that were planned to be used for the city walls were simply placed as they were, and the only thing they did was write the names of the war casualties, but after not seeing it for a while, it turned into something splendid.

[It seems to have been done by Nambonan citizens.]

Having stayed in Nambonan City for a long time, the civil officers seem to know the area well. I listened in silence.

[The bereaved families of the city defense war wanted to offer flowers to the stone monument, so at first they are only allowed to set up a flower offering stand, but before we knew it, it became like this]

[Its good if theyre doing it voluntarily. Let it be.]

[Understood.]

Originally, the stone monument was placed directly on the ground, but there were more and more oblong stones that were used as underlays. Thats all there was to it, but it looked quite splendid.

The area around the stone monument was also bare dirt, but it had turned into a stone pavement. However, this was not a stone used as a stone material, but it was probably just an arrangement of well-shaped stones that had fallen around, and there was not much sense of unity. But because it was embedded tightly without any gaps, it looked good as it was.

[Also, make arrangements to include the name of the Nambonan soldier this time. This time, I wont allow this to be done by the citizens.]

If citizens add their names to the stone monument without permission, the value of the monument will be lost.

To put it in extreme terms, the stone monument is a tool to induce the mentality of [Im happy to be recognized by the Nobles. Ill do my best like the people whose names are engraved here. Long live Nambonan, long live Quordenze!].

[Yessir. Ill call your attention once more.]

I was a little worried about the way you said it.

[How many times have you been careful?]

[That said, there seems to be someone who arbitrarily adds their name in the middle of the night]

It seems that there are quite a few idiots who wrote their names thinking they did their best in the battle to defend Nambonan City. In addition, it seems that there are quite a few inquiries such as [If I die of old age, can you put my name on it?].

Because there was no such culture prior to this, it is possible that they do not understand what kind of thing it is. But, what about the fact that the memorial monument is so popular?

[Fortunately, the name of the culprit is written, so we can punish them immediately]

I see, you should be able to identify the culprit in one shot.

The commoners name doesnt have a family name. So if its Anna, then Anna is her full name. This doesnt change even if youre rich, Koharii is Koharii. It seems that there is something like a name in old Japan, but basically it is only called by name.

This stone monument has a name written like [Jiro, the son of Taro, the owner of a bakery on something-something Street]. If its just the name, there will be a lot of people with the same name, so I will have no idea who it actually is.

As one would expect, the identification process went smoothly as expected of those killed in action in their hometown, and there were almost no unidentified corpses.

[Its like they appear on purpose, isnt it?]

[Thanks for that, its easy to identify.]

Someone is adding a name to the stone monument again, what is this, [Shiro, the son of Saburo, the blacksmith on something-something Street], somehow? Who the hell is the culprit?

..There was no need to think about it, but the culprit was Shirou, the son of Saburo, the blacksmith on that certain street.

Writing someone elses name wouldnt normally satisfy someones self-esteem, so they have to write their real name and affiliation. Its like half giving themselves up already.

Im often amazed at how such an idiot could have survived.

Moreover, it seems that more than 50 citizens have already been scolded by city officers, not just one or two. Are Nambonan citizens really that stupid? The Nambonan militias who died in the Battle of Reisleaf Castle must be smiling wryly in the afterlife.

[Since the number of names will increase this time, there will probably be more people who will add them. It may be better to hang a few people for once. However, it would be best if they remove their name first beforehand.]

When the civil officer said so, he laughed lightly.

Its probably meant as a joke, but when the ruler says it, its not funny.

In any case, it would be nice if the monument was received positively by the citizens.

It looks like the Nambonan militias standing military plan is off to a good start.

After entering the Mayors office, I sat down throwing my ass on the sofa like a sand sack.

[Haaah, Im tired.]

[Thank you for your hard work on the long trip.]

I spread my arms out and the maid standing behind me removes my armor.

The maid was having a hard time removing the armor from my seating position, but somehow I didnt have the energy to stand up.

I didnt feel any physical fatigue, but I was mentally exhausted. Not even the physically strong Highlord is immune to this.

I was really tired of being jolted in a carriage to keep up with soldiers that marched almost randomly.

It reminded me of the rush days of business trips in my previous life when I was left behind on the Shinkansen, which didnt make much progress due to the heavy snow.

[Where is Rose?]

[Weve left her at the base in the city. If Young Master needs her, I can bring her]

[No, I dont mind. Im going to sleep in the mansion tonight. I just want to use this one for the bath.]

The Mayors residence has an open-air bath in the courtyard, but I wanted to use it badly with my current mood.

The baths in Reisleaf Castle were dim and cramped, so there was a hunger for a comfortable bath.

[Prepare it in the evening. I want to enter before dark.]

[Understood.]

The armor comes off with a clicking sound. I didnt fight anyone in particular. This is for performance.

Since the Noble who defended Nambonan City and captured the impregnable Reisleaf Castle will return in triumph and mourn for the citizens, it is my judgment that a fully armed armor would look better than casual clothes.

[Would you like to enjoy this?]

The tea that was placed in front of me seemed to be freshly boiled, and steam was rising slightly.

I could tell from the faint scent that it was the tea used in Annas bar.

[Speaking of which, what happened to Anna?]

I asked while taking a sip of the teacup.

The sun was still high, and if I were to compare it to Japan in my previous life, it would be around 14:00. The pleasant sunlight in the early afternoon invited me to take a nap, but more than that, I wanted to see Annas face as soon as possible.

A large number of citizens were waiting to greet me when I visited the monument and when he entered the city, but Anna was not among them.

[Since she came here earlier, she should still be in the building Please let me call her.]

[Yes, thanks.]

A different maid, who was talking to me, quietly opened the door and went outor so I thought, but she stopped halfway through the door.

I wondered what she was doing and looked over there, and realized that Anna was standing in front of the door.

The maid must have been surprised to find Anna there when she opened the door.

[What, you are here already?]

[AhMayor notumm, Wi, Wilk, sama]

From the other side of the door, I could only see Annas upper body. Her lower body was hidden.

The way she fidgeted and looked at me was more like a young maiden than an adult woman, and the gap was cute.

[Whats wrong? Your body will get cold if you stay there.]

Because the maid had warmed the room with magic just now, the room was warmer than the outside.

I said this for Annas sake, but for some reason she just fidgets and refuses to enter the room.

[Why dont you come into the room right now?]

An impatient feeling welled up in me as Anna didnt want to enter the room.

I quickly gave a line that would serve as my trump card.

[..The child in your stomach is also saying its cold.]

On the way back to Nambonan City from Reisleaf Castle, I received a letter from a maid. It was a letter from the attendant who was taking care of Anna, informing me that she was pregnant.

If I remember correctly, the last time I embraced Anna was around the end of last year, and its currently mid-March.

I thought it would have taken a lot longer to determine if she was pregnant compared to Minith, but this was due to Annas will.

Anna had experienced many miscarriages and was frightened of pregnancy. When I promised to hire a Lord-class doctor who specializes in pregnancy and childbirth, she was overjoyed.

However, she was still full of anxiety right after she found out she was pregnant. The doctor claimed that she wished to inform me herself, and begged to keep it a secret.

The maid who accompanied me was very loyal, and in order to keep that promise, she asked my father, who was in Newnelly Castle, for judgment, and was able to get permission to keep it a secret from me for a while.

And this time, when she got the information that I was going to return to Nambonan City, Anna seemed to have finally made up her mind, so she sent me a letter just before I returned.

[T-thats right, but Im in trouble, please wait.]

[Whats wrong with you?]

[Umm Well, I have to calm down a bit]

I stood up from my chair as I became frustrated at Anna hiding her face with both hands.

Then, Anna was surprised and stuck out her hands.

[Ah, Mayor, no! Its still not good! Ah, magic! Is there no magic!?]

[So, what are you talking about?]

[Its magic, magic! Do you have some great magic? Use Noble magic that doesnt make babies angry!]

The maid approached me and whispered into my ear.

[Anna-sama is concerned about the babys jealousy.]

[Oh, thats what happened.]

Baby jealousy is one of the strange cultures on the Eruo continent. It is a superstition that if a pregnant wife is in love with her husband, the baby in her womb will get jealous and miscarry. This lovey-dovey is not limited to sexual intercourse, it includes the act of flirting, as well as the act of thinking of your husband and making your heart pound.

For some reason, I feel like its a folk belief that was born to warn against having sex during pregnancy. If you flirt, youll get excited and want to insert it.

I am fully aware that such things are superstitions, but if Anna is concerned about it, I will take advantage of her questions.

[If youre worried about jealousy, dont worry. If you have my magic, youll be fine.]

[Really?]

I snapped my fingers and activated a meaningless magic that just made the surroundings sparkle.

For a Lord, this is just a childs trick, but for someone like Anna who doesnt know much about magic, it should look like sacred magic.

Stardust-like lights flashed all over the room, capturing Annas eyes. If it were an anime, it would sound like [Kirarin].

[Are you sure itll be okay?]

She must be very cautious, it made me feel uneasy watching her.

I sat down on a nearby sofa and motioned her to sit next to me.

[Noble magic is powerful. Your child will be fine. Trust me. Or you cant believe me?]

[Thats not it.]

Anna, who was only showing her upper body, leans forward a little and stands in front of the door. About three months into the pregnancy, it was still difficult to see changes in her stomach.

Then, she approaches with a step like a cat that finds its prey.

[Here, sit down.]

[yes.]

I tapped the sofa lightly and waited for Anna to sit down.

[Are you okay?]

Anna, who was sitting next to me, blushed furiously.

When I silently held her hand, she was startled for a moment, but she immediately accepted me.

Even so, Anna usually feels like an attractive woman with an energetic and bright smile. Her impression had changed quite a bit.

I thought it couldnt be helped because Minith was still in her teens, but Anna seemed to have a hard time with pregnancy. She may have been anxious all along.

[Does it feel like this all the time? Its not good for your baby if you push yourself too hard.]

When I said that, she grabbed my hand tightly.

[No. Its justah, its embarrassing]

Anna lightly put her hand to her mouth and smiled embarrassedly.

[Because, I wanted to see youfor a long time]

With one hand clasped together, Anna puts her other hand on top of it.

Her body temperature seems to be slightly higher, and the heat gradually spreads to the back of her hand. In return, I covered her hands with both hands.

Hmm, Anna lets out a small voice and looks at me with melting eyes. It was a gaze that made me feel the danger where if I approached the matter poorly, it would stick to me.

[Whats wrong? Youre quite aggressive today Well, I wanted to meet you too.]

I looked up at Anna and kissed her while our hands were still clasped together.

Chu, chu, chu, the sound of kissing resounds in the room.

[Mmm pua.I was so happy, Mayorwell, Wilk-sama protected our city, its so amazing]

Recently, Ive been holding only young girls such as Rose and maids, so I feel like Ive long forgotten how soft an adult woman is.

A young girl with an energetic firmness and a little stiffness is good, but a woman like Anna who has matured as a woman and acquired a softness that sucks in a man is also good. How should I say it, the softness that makes my heart feel at ease when I embrace it?

When I let go of my hand, I wrapped my arms around her waist and gently hugged her.

Because I wanted to confirm the existence of the woman I was able to protect with my entire body.

[No. I just wanted to protect Anna, Nambonan City just happened to be there as well.]

[Ufufu, Im happy.]

Even though its a cool and well-crafted line, Anna cleanly parries it. It was a very natural move, and I could feel the skill that she had been a signboard girl of the bar for many years.

However, I was quite serious about it. Of course, I did intend to protect Nambonan City, but I was always more worried about the women living in Nambonan City.

[Is it true? I thought that Annas escape was delayedand I was worried. I didnt know what would happen if you were captured by Spierzeigs soldiers.]

Anna had the first-hand experience of what happens to a beautiful woman captured by the enemy forces. And back then, I was on the hostile force.

I hit Annas head with enough force to pat her.

I looked at her with narrowed eyes.

[Actually, you didnt even escape, did you? It was good that our army held out, but if you were unlucky, the city might have fallen Dont make me worry too much, make sure to escape next time.]

But, Anna said with a big smile.

[I believe in you. Im sure youll come in time.]

If this was a cabaret club, Im sure Id go there many times, I thought.

Anna closed her eyes and waited for my answer. As I was guided, we put our lips together again.

[Hnn.]

[Nn Nn, Wilk-samaah]

When I tried to separate myself, Anna wrapped her hand around the back of my head and held me.

And then, chu-chu, like a baby sucking milk, she sucked the saliva out of my mouth.

That lustful, deep kiss made my cock hardened almost instantly. If we let this momentum continue, it will be a disaster. I could feel that the tip is already sticky from the precum.

[Haa, haa Wilk-sama Im so happy I really love you Ah I love you]

When I see Anna clinging to my whole body as if shes rubbing her cheeks, the word wild animal in heat comes to mind.

Ive seen her get aroused during sex before, but its the first time shes actively showing her lust, or rather, feeling like shes seeking affection.

Apparently, the fact that I protected Nambonan City was more than enough to completely win out her heart.

I dont know what to say, but its a pity that shes already pregnant. Had we had sex in this state of mind, we would have had a bond that melted our hearts.

I continue to talk while stroking Annas back with my arm.

[I know. I love Anna too, so Im very happy you feel the same way.]

When people are liked by someone, they have good feelings for that person. There is no way someone of the opposite sex would feel bad about being told by a beautiful woman that she loves you.

As if to masticate my words, Anna nodded around the pit of my stomach and looked at me with a slightly playful look.

[Ufufu how much do you love me?]

I was a little moved by those words. To be asked how much I love you, I feel like Im going to write in the lover-like exchanges that I usually only drew in pictures.

Anna isnt a naive girl, but a sensible adult woman, so its not like shes really listening.

Of course, she knows that I have Koharii and Raeve as well. After that, he enjoys how I will answer.

[Ah, I love Wilk-sama the most I love you If this child is born, there may be two number onesbut will that be fine?]

This child. Anna rubbed her stomach while saying so. The result of the seeds that I planted.

When I affirmed her opinion, I hugged her tightly and whispered into her ear.

[I love Anna the most on this continent.]

Ukyu, Anna let out an incomprehensible growl. Is it because I hugged her too tightly?

When I took my mouth away from her ear and looked at her face, I saw Annas smiling face.

[You love me the most on the continent? Im very happy.]

Perhaps Anna just wanted to hear the word [I love you] from me with appropriate decorations. She looked satisfied enough.

Somehow, she believed in the words [I love you] without batting an eye, but knows that the expression [I love you the most on the continent] is an exaggeration.

Although Im not lying at all.

[Im serious, but Anna doesnt seem to understand.]

[Ah, is that true? But arent there many other beautiful women? Even in this mansion, there are beautiful young women like Raeve-san and Koharii-chan]

I feel like she puts in a lot of effort to look younger, but Im a gentleman and I dont particularly touch on that.

It shows Annas good points in words without mentioning her age at all.

For the most part, Anna is still in her late twenties, so I need her to be prepared to stay active for at least another 10 to 20 years.

[So, Anna doesnt need to be servile. And let me tell you something good for the last time.]

Thereupon, I smile fearlessly. Its a signal to tell you a little joke.

[My most beloved woman is the woman who was in my arms at that given time. So at this moment, Anna is my most beloved woman. I really love her the most on the continent.]

In short, I like the woman that Im holding the most.

Whether its agreed or forced, I love the woman I fucked the most in the world. This is a genuine feeling.

At this moment, Im hugging Anna. From the bottom of my heart, I want her dearly. So its not wrong to say that I love her the most on the continent at this moment. I didnt say that I love her the most on the continent all the time.

Then, probably understanding my seriousness, Anna put her hand to her mouth and chuckled.

[Fufu, thats unfair. If you say that, I wont want to leaveyou know?]

Chu.

Anna put her weight on me and gave me a passionate kiss.

In return, I stuck my tongue in and enjoyed each others tastes.

Anna is good because she takes jokes like this lightly.

Because its not something thats easy to say to other girls. Speaking of Minith, it looks like Im going to take some damage behind my smile.

[Hmm Anna, I cant take it anymore. I want to hug you. Real bad.]

[Eh Ah ]

Anna seemed to have finally noticed that part of my lower body has become stiff.

My cock was so swollen that I couldnt help it. If I continue to be touched by Anna like this, I might unintentionally push her down.

Of course, I could always embrace the maid instead. But if I do, all my effort to melt Anna down would be for naught. I want to avoid that.

[I want to be with Anna too, but if you touch me anymore, I might end up shooting for the next child. Isnt that a problem?]

And not to mention, Im scared of the gazes of maids who know that my sparkling magic is a hoax.

Because they are also ordinary people from the Eruo continent, they believe in the baby jealousy theory. They must want to stop the excessive love-dovey between me and Anna.

[.Im sorry. My feelings got ahead of me]

[No, dont worry about it. It cant be helped because its been a long time. Besides, Annas feelings were happy.]

Anna separated herself from me and looked at me as if she hadnt had enough.

[Umm, if its this way]

Saying that, Anna put her index finger to her lips. I guess she was suggesting for fellatio, and it makes me happy to see her sexual growth.

But, I know I wont just stop at fellatio. I would definitely want to rub her breasts on the way. Above all, fellatio is quite hard work, so there is no doubt that it will be a burden on the body.

Im happy for Annas feelings, but she must be the most saddened if the child is lost here.

I explained them briefly and declined her proposal.

[Even though you have a healer with you, dont push yourself too hard. Right now Anna has to think of your own body and the child in your stomach first.]

[yes.]

No matter how much healing magic there is, there will always be a chance where the child may end up in a miscarriage. Its never too late to be careful.

[When I think about it, you really did something unreasonable at the beginning of the year. Maybe you werent aware of it at the time, but you are already pregnant, right?]

Considering that it was December, and the Nambonan defense battle started right after the new year, my child should have already conceived by that time.

Anna was running around the city to rouse the volunteers, but it often didnt flow there. In addition to the fatigue of the day after day, the environment must not have been a good one, even with flattery, such as being threatened with murderous intent from the enemy Master.

The Lord who was assigned to her as an escort might have taken good care of her against intimidation, but that was just luck.

[Yes, now that I think about it, I forced myself to go around while carrying this child]

Above all, I consider myself lucky that I didnt get to meet Anna after the battle in Nambonan City.

Anna was wandering around the city and it was difficult to find her, so I ended up leaving for Reisleaf Castle.

If Anna had been discovered early, there is no doubt that it would be followed with a violent sex time. If were unlucky, I might end up ruining the pregnancy.

It may be the first time in my life that Im glad I didnt get to embrace a woman at that time.

[Which do you prefer, a boy or a girl?]

Anna said while putting her hand on her stomach.

To be honest, I just ejaculated and planted a seed, so I dont have much awareness of becoming a father at the moment. Ah, I sure trained myself well.

Even when I saw Annas belly, which looked a little swollen, I wanted her to be safe rather than happy.

In such a situation, even if I was asked if I wanted to be a man or a woman, I still couldnt make up my mind. Frankly speaking, as long as both mother and child are healthy, gender doesnt matter.

Of course, Anna wouldnt be happy if I said that. She just wants to talk about the child Im likely to meet in the near future.

[It would be best if they were born healthy. Isnt that right]

As long as the child in Annas womb is mine, they will be born into a Lord.

Based on the values of the Nobles of the Eruo continent, what the family would want is a girl.

The reason is simple: a female Lord is precious.

In order to increase the number of Highlord, the Knight family desperately tries to have children with their Highlord Master. Unlike the male Lord who ejaculates and ends, the female Lord has a long period of restraint for one pregnancy. In addition, high-ranking servants dispatched to Newnelly Castle also need female Lords.

It can be said that the female Lord is the SSR in the gacha roll.

Of course, its not like a male Lord is unneeded.

Whether its as a military officer or a civil officer, a male Lord raises the self-sufficiency of the territory. The implication of compensating for the number of Lord-class soldiers who were reduced in the battle with the Spierzeig family would also be significant.

Considering that we will only be able to prepare more lords in 10 or 20 years from now, we can say that it would be better if a boy was born.

In the end, just being born as a Lord is greatly welcomed, so either extreme is fine.

In the short and medium term, boys are better, but in the long run, girls are better, but thats just a margin of error.

However, theres no way Anna would care about the circumstances of nobles and knights.

Since she just wants to enjoy a happy talk with me, Ill give priority to my personal feelings and think about the answer.

[..Which one would you prefer, Anna?]

[The Mayors answer comes first, right?]

To Annas answer, yeah, I think so too! It seems that I cant get away with this easily.

If you think about it simply, I think girls are cuter and better. If its Annas daughter, Im sure shell be energetic, naive, and have a bright smile.

But, is that a good thing?

If you think about it, that child will probably be taken as a wife of some Knight family. Shes my child after all. And, until her child is born, she will probably have to experience intense sex many times.

..

[I like boys.]

That answer sounded a bit less stressful.

[Ah, Me too!]

Then Anna smiled, seemingly pleased that her answer matched with mine.

Anna just seems to genuinely want a boy.

[I want him to grow up to be a strong boy. And I want him to protect this town together. Enduring hardships, Im sure he will become a strong child. ..Im really looking forward to it. Little one, I want to see you soon.]

The figure of Anna rubbing her stomach and talking about her dreams for the future has already become half of mother.

Her chest was squeezed with love, and her arms were filled with strength.

[Its okay, Anna. From now on Ill protect Nambonan City. Give birth to a child in peace.]

I still dont understand how my father feels.

However, my desire to protect the existence of Anna, who was carrying my child, was completely sincere.

[Besides, you dont have to worry about whether its a boy or a girl. From now on, give birth to as many babies as you can, so that we wont even need to worry about gender.]

In the end, thats how it is.

There is no way for a good woman like Anna to have only one child.

Ill keep embracing her. Until death do us part.

[Fufufu, thats true too Please love me a lot, okay?]

I desperately endured Annas stimulating lines.
