Several months had passed since Elin had conceived the child.

“Thank you for your hard work, everyone.”

“Thank you, Professor!”

“Please teach 4th grade classes next semester too!”

“If possible, I will ask the president. Since I have already been bitten… No, since I have a contract, I have to stay at the academy.”

Summer vacation after successfully completing the first semester of teaching.

“Are you staying home from today?”

“Yes, I will continue to be by your side.”

“Hehehe, good.”

“Really… You’ve grown a lot.”

Luke looked for Elin as soon as he entered the mansion.

Slowly get down on your knees.

I stroked my belly, which was now clearly swollen and visible to the naked eye.

“Ugh… I guess he’s happy that his dad is here. He just moved.”

“I felt it too.”

The movement of the fetus is transmitted across the ship.

There is life growing inside this tiny body.

Luke felt a sense of mystery and gently patted Elin’s stomach.

“I heard you want to eat strawberries.”

“That’s right. Strangely, I keep craving strawberries.”

Since Ellen started suffering from morning sickness, she started craving a lot of fruit.

My favorite among them is strawberries.

“I’ve already told the head chef at the Bucklin Mansion. If you go now, you’ll be able to eat as much as you want.”

“Oh my gosh. Really? Thanks, honey.”

Elin, shaking her stupid hair.

She lifted Luke’s hand from the boat and stroked his cheek.

“I just sit or lie down. I just receive it every time.”

“You go for a walk sometimes, right?”

“I know that’s not what you’re saying.”

Pick, Ellin laughed and got up from the chair, holding Luke’s hand tightly.

“I didn’t know you’d be this responsible when you ran away from me.”

“… I’m really sorry about that time. I wasn’t in my right mind.”

“It’s okay. Our child won’t be abandoned like that time, right?”

“Of course. How could I leave my child behind?”

“Haa… If I had attacked you earlier, you wouldn’t have run away.”

An arrow that came back and stabbed my side even after I had successfully avoided it.

This is the first time I’ve heard it.

Luke, who had nothing to say even if he had ten mouths, lowered his head.

“… Sorry.”

“Yeah. I didn’t tell you to die. I’m just glad. I haven’t had any weird thoughts since then.”

Support your stomach with one hand.

On the other side, Ellen, who had her arms around Luke, laughed.

“Thanks to you, I became such a kind and warm husband. He doesn’t just pounce on me every night.”

“Isn’t that obvious? What on earth do you think I am?”

Luke looked down at Elin with a terrified face.

We did it together every day after we got married.

After I found out I was pregnant, I became adamant about abstaining.

Well, that’s because it can’t have a negative impact on the baby in the womb.

“I refused even though I said it was okay in the early stages of pregnancy.”

“Isn’t that something you don’t know?”

“Haha. You barely managed to hold it in because I did it with my own hands, right?”

“… … ”

Luke was at a loss for words.

Elin burst into laughter for a long time, wondering what was so funny.

He lifted his brow and whispered in my ear.

“I know you want to pound, but I’m sorry. I’ll do it by hand today too, so please bear with it a little longer?”

“… It must be hard, but you don’t have to do that.”

“You’ve piled up quite a bit lately. Do you accept it when I say I’ll do it for you?”

Then Ellin smiles.

Even the way the cute-looking fool’s hair fluttered seemed sexy.

When did that little kid grow up to be so fascinating?

Well, I already have a child… .

“Then please do it.”

“I thought about it well. I’ll take care of both the top and bottom.”

“Ahem. Let’s stop talking and go. Everyone will be waiting.”

“Okay, haha.”

Holding tightly onto Ellin’s hand as she smiled sensually.

Shu-

I opened the portal and headed to the main building of the Bucklin Manor.

* * * * *

That Ellen had a child.

That means that soon a child will be born who will continue the Bucklin bloodline.

“Is our baby here?”

“Sit comfortably.”

Luke’s parents.

It meant that I would be showered with the goodness of Vivian Bucklin and Benedict Bucklin.

“Sorry I’m late.”

“Oh, sorry. We didn’t really make any plans. We just need the baby to be healthy.”

Vivian with a bright smile on her face.

After Rudy, who was born to Dien, Elin also had a child.

The Countess of Berkeley was spending her days happily.

“Elin. Try some of these strawberries. They’re so sweet.”

Let’s get our butts on the seat.

Next to me, Dien pushed a plate full of strawberries.

Luke’s parents, of course, Dianne and Victor.

“Auntie, your belly is so full!”

And Rudy is there too.

Today was a family gathering to celebrate Luke’s vacation and rest.

“It’s too early to be surprised, Rudy. It’ll only get bigger from now on.”

“More here?”

Rudy, who was sitting on Dien’s lap, looked at his mother with wide eyes.

“Graham. Rudy was much bigger when he came out of his mother’s womb, right?”

“Wow… .”

A pink furball explaining in a soft voice.

A tiny pink ball of fur that elicits exclamations of admiration.

The mother and daughter, who were obviously a family to anyone who saw them, had a gentle conversation that made everyone who saw them feel relaxed.

Elin, who was eating strawberries, turned her head to Dien.

“Did you eat this much when you had Rudy? I think your appetite has really increased lately.”

“Yeah, around that time I really want to eat something. I really wanted to eat seafood.”

Luke just watched their conversation with curious eyes.

The senior who kept chasing me to open my inventory so he could take a comfortable nap got married to my older brother.

I gave birth to a child who is 99% in sync with me.

What about Elin?

The princess, who was abused every day for having no talent, eventually won Luke’s heart and became his wife.

Those two are talking about pregnancy.

It was something that was completely unpredictable in the past.

“Is it because I have a son that I want to eat meat so badly?”

Vivian naturally joined in the conversation between Dianne and Elin.

“That’s because babies need a lot of nutrients. Don’t worry about what others think and eat a lot, baby.”

“Hmm, then just one more plate of strawberries… .”

“Oh, then! You should have told me earlier. Chef?”

Little Vivian.

Tiny Dien.

Little Elin.

Watching the scene where three people are talking.

Benedict, Victor, and Luke locked eyes with each other.

“I know it’s a bit awkward to bring this up, but I feel like I’ve committed some kind of sin.”

Those feelings intensified when he saw Elin’s bulging belly.

“Hmm.”

“We’ve already experienced this.”

Benedict and Victor nodded coolly.

It’s definitely not because of appearance.

When I looked closely, I realized that it was just a little smaller in appearance.

The outside world didn’t take such things into consideration.

It was a feeling that Benedict and Victor could fully empathize with.

“But you are less. Because you are a hero of the empire.”

Meanwhile, Victor pinched a sharp point.

Fortunately, Elin and Luke transmitted their memories to all the people of the empire, so everyone understood the story.

Benedict, who has been misunderstood his entire life.

It was a slightly different situation from Victor, who still occasionally received threatening letters from Gaelan.

“That’s true.”

Luke bowed his head in meek admission.

Benedict snorted.

“Victor, you are a nobleman to that extent. Haven’t you ever had your wife mistaken for your sister while you were on the battlefield?”

“… Yes.”

Victor and Luke both became silent at the same time.

Benedict and Vivian are the most renowned battle mage couple in the Empire.

However, there was a sad story that no one on the battlefield saw them as a couple.

The family gathering that day ended with three women talking about their children and three men talking about their wives.

* * * * *

Time really flew by in the blink of an eye.

After summer vacation.

Luke opened a class that taught second, third, and fourth graders.

“Are you here, honey?”

“I heard you collapsed for a while today. Are you okay?”

“Yeah. Just because of the pain. The baby was so excited that she kept kicking her stomach.”

Elin’s belly had grown so large that she could hardly hold it.

There were also instances of fainting due to labor pains.

“You’re ill-mannered. I’ll scold you severely.”

Luke holding his stomach with both hands.

He lowered his voice and said, “You bastard,” to educate the child who dared to harass his wife.

Then, I felt the fetus moving.

“I understand that… Huh?”

Ellen’s stupid hairs stood on end.

Their eyes met.

It was as if he had decided to listen to Luke’s words and became quiet.

“You can sleep peacefully today. I have properly educated you.”

“Phew. It really works? Thanks, honey.”

Luke and Elin fell asleep smiling at each other.

So it’s been 8, 9, 10 months.

“Ugh… .”

“Are you okay?”

“No. It’s too hard… .”

When I reached full term.

There were more and more days when Elin was suffering, unable to lie down or sit properly.

Luke bit his lips hard.

“I wish I could feel the pain instead.”

I honestly thought so, though.

Ellen shook her head and held Luke’s hand tightly.

“I can endure it as long as I have you, honey.”

His face was gaunt from not being able to sleep properly.

The life remaining in his eyes still shone.

“So please continue to support me from the side. That’s enough.”

“Of course. You’re saying the obvious.”

The expected date of birth is approaching.

Luke took a leave of absence from the Academy to keep his promise.

“Ugh, huff… .”

“You need to come to your senses! Give me strength, strength… !”

The due date is approaching.
