The cheers that began when the large screen installed on the ground were connected to me in outer space, where most of the space was painted black except for the stars twinkling in the distance, reached their peak the moment I set foot on the surface of the moon.

‘Waaaa!’

‘Paula! Paula! ‘Paula!’

‘Paula? Is that the name of the woman you saw earlier?’

‘What? I guess I didn’t hear the interview with the reporters earlier. Because you came a little late. I remember he also told me his name at that time, and he said it was Paula Hausser.’

‘Anyway, I wish I knew the name now! Long live Paula Hausser!’

All the Germans who were watching my success were happy as if they were on the moon, and although I expected such a reaction to some extent, I was also very happy when my prediction came true.

If the first footprints on the barren moon, where one cannot breathe for even a second without an Iron Man suit or special magic, can raise the national prestige that was trampled by the Entente and suffered during the Great Depression, then there is nothing more to hope for.

Even if people’s reactions were cold, the joy of coming to the moon, which the world had only seen through photos floating around the Internet, would have made my heart pound, but not as much as it is beating now.

‘They say joy is doubled when shared… In addition to those who will hear the news through broadcasts or newspaper articles, there are thousands of people watching me on the screen in front of the mansion, so does that mean the joy increases thousands of times?’

Overflowing with joy and feeling very relaxed, I slowly moved towards the far side of the moon, where relatively more meteorite impact craters are said to remain.

For reference, the place where I am currently standing is somewhere on the front of the moon, and as a result of looking from above before landing, there were no traces of aliens or any other unusual features to look out for.

If I were to ask you to name just one thing, it would be that helium-3, which can be used as a material for nuclear fusion, is buried in abundance…?

There is also the idea that the far side of the moon, which cannot be seen from the Earth all year round due to tidal locking, would be a perfect place to set up a resting station for extraterrestrial life forms that come from tens of thousands of light years away to study Earth’s civilization, and people also think that the far side of the moon I moved because I thought people might be curious about what it looks like…

‘…There’s nothing. It’s empty. From the aliens’ point of view, there is no need to set up a station on the moon because there is no difference in distance whether they go directly to Earth or rest for a while on the Moon and then return to Earth.’

The average distance between the Moon and Earth is 385,000 km. For reference, this is far enough to squeeze in all the planets in the solar system, including Jupiter.

However, for aliens who have the technology to cross the Milky Way to reach Earth, that distance will not be a problem at all, so it is better to invest the budget and time to build a temporary resting place on a rocky satellite with no traces of civilization in exploring Earth’s civilization. There is a good possibility that the decision was made.

Whatever the reason, we have confirmed that there are no alien outposts close to Earth civilization, so there is no need to panic about security concerns.

Returning to the front of the moon, I raised my head above the black sky to observe the lunar version of the sunrise… the so-called ‘Earthrise’ phenomenon.

The sight of a continent that was not blazing red but lush with greenery and vegetation unique to the sea, and a circle dotted with pure white clouds floating in the sky was the second most beautiful sight I have ever seen in my life.

So what’s the first one?

‘Of course, it’s honey, who awakened the female instinct within me and made me realize the joy of carrying a child…♡’

No matter what spectacle is thrown in front of me, I will never put my love for Elysia below it.

People who had no idea what I was up to were seeing the same thing I was seeing and trying to find Germany by pointing their fingers at the area revealed beneath the swirling clouds.

Their efforts were rewarded, as there were few clouds over Germany at the time.

‘Hey, me! Land visible through the clouds! Look closely! ‘Isn’t it like our country?’

‘uh! Do you really think so? That’s the European continent, and the one below is the African continent… Then that’s probably our country!’

This was by no means the result I had intended, but since 1919, for the first time in a very long time, people who had been marinated in lethal doses of soup cried tears of joy and then collapsed on the spot, or screamed until their voices became so hoarse that they were unable to speak.

‘hmm. Since I discovered our country (Germany), I should zoom in and show Berlin.’

As I zoomed in and out, I was able to see the tops of people’s heads gathered in front of a house in Berlin, eating the pieces of bread they had brought for lunch and staring at the screen.

Naturally, people who had the strange experience of looking at the top of their head with the vision of a person reaching up to the moon were amazed and chanted my name.

Unlike me, Hannah, who doesn’t seem to have any intention of covering up her protruding belly (she’s not an outsider, and there’s no reason to hide a baby made from her beloved master’s seed or anything?), creates a warp gate to separate our princesses and Elysia. It was around that time that I brought him out.

“Are you here now? It’s a teleportation gate… it’s a standard means of long-distance transportation. How did you make it?”

As of 2029, the warp drive engine I used is a dream technology that is only possible in theory.

Since teleportation is a technology that has been realized at least at the particle level, my curiosity as an engineer was piqued the moment I saw the teleportation gate that Hannah created, so I asked that question after muting the conversation so that others could not hear our conversation.

If the warp drive is easy to use for mobility but difficult to use for large-scale movement, the Hanna-style teleportation gate costs money for initial installation and maintenance and cannot go to places where the gate is not installed, but it is used as a means of large-scale movement. It had sufficient research value in that it could be used.

Hannah, the person involved, blurted out the story as if it wasn’t something important enough to keep confidential.

“It’s simple. We calculated coordinates by intensively observing a specific point on the moon’s surface using the astronomical telescope that the hostess made, and installed a teleportation gate at that coordinate that connects to a specific point on the Earth’s surface.”

“Then, we enchanted the teleporter from Earth to the Moon to automatically be given a protective shield to protect them from dangers such as weightlessness, vacuum, and cosmic radiation.”

“Shield? You mean like the soap bubble you’re covering right now?”

“Yes. Although it looks like it might burst at any moment on the outside, it is actually so durable that it will not break even in the event of an asteroid impact.”

“That’s a bit huge.”

The Iron Man suit I’m wearing right now can survive a direct collision with the sun, which generates much more energy than that generated by an asteroid impact, so the durability itself can be seen as being much superior.

The protective shield that Hannah covered the group with was so thin and transparent that it looked as if it would explode with a slight poke with a finger. However, at the point where it was durable enough to survive an asteroid impact, it was much more efficient than a suit made of magic alloy, compared to a suit made of magic alloy. I will have to do it.

The two princesses, who couldn’t hurt their eyes at all, waited for their mother to finish her conversation with the maid and wrapped soap bubbles around their bodies in the shape of a sphere… no, a protective shield -! container-! He jumped and ran towards me and held me in my arms.

“Mommy!!!”

“Mom!!!”

As the children, who already weighed only a little, came to the moon where the gravity is much weaker than that of the Earth, the momentum of them being launched towards me was quite scary, but as the children’s mother, I had no difficulty catching the cute bundles that came running towards me.

Oh, by the way, among the overlapping sounds, the one that came out first was the voice of our eldest daughter, Bryn, and the one that followed was the cry of the second child, Free. They are truly lively children.

“Oh my, our princesses! Do you like your mom that much?”

“Of course! When I come to see you on the moon, my mom’s face looks prettier! Bryn can’t help but smile just looking at his mom’s face!”

Even though it was received with a hard metal suit rather than the usual voluptuous mommy pouch (accidentally, the protective film placed between the children’s body and the suit pressed down like a kind of cushion, preventing the texture of the suit from being passed on to the children). (although there was) he spoke so sweetly that I didn’t know what to do with him.

At least if I said this when I took off my visor, they would take it at face value. Now he looks like a scary soldier wearing a gas mask…

“I see~ This mom also seems to be more loving and cuter after seeing our princesses here~”

Of course, this does not mean that it is not lovable or cute when viewed from Earth. You know what it feels like?

As I was on mute for a while, dealing with children who wanted to be hugged by me while excluding people on the ground, it suddenly occurred to me that through these children, I could plant an unforgettable message in people’s hearts.

‘It’s like using innocent children who don’t know anything for adults’ political propaganda… but we should play with them more and ask for forgiveness, right?’

I apologized to the children in my heart, turned off the mute mode, and prepared myself to pour out free talking without text.
