Surrogate mother.

It is illegal in many countries, and even if it is recognized as law, there are various restrictions and strict conditions, and even if such an act is truly committed, it is an act that causes many problems in many ways in the future.

There are cases where surrogacy is sought due to truly unfortunate circumstances, but most of them try to solve the problem on their own and do not involve other people.

But what about this world?

An era where talented people lead the world.

A time when babies born without special abilities are ignored.

As much as life blooms with the birth of a person with special abilities, humans have come to have an ugly thought.

-It’s okay if the child has special abilities, but it doesn’t have to be mine, right?

iced coffee.

It seems that the devil does not only reside in people with special abilities.

Human greed is endless, and humans have tried to find ways to create anything.

-If you give birth to a child using the genes of someone with superpowers, there is a high possibility that he will be born with superpowers, right?

-S-class children are almost always considered to have special abilities, right?

-Then, if you ask an S-class person to have a child for you, wouldn’t someone with truly amazing abilities be born?

It may be ugly in some ways, but it was also an example of an extreme display of the desires of human beings.

If the baby is going to be born anyway, it is better to have it be born with special abilities.

Even if half of them are not my children, wouldn’t it be okay for them to live without knowing that and just support me in the future?

Whether it’s a surrogate father or a surrogate, wouldn’t it be possible if the child with the ability and the parents become a family connected by heart?

With that in mind, mankind created a method.

We passed a bill, treated people with special abilities specially, and made it possible for people with disabilities to do such things ‘if they wanted to.’

It is illegal to take the genes of someone with special abilities and have a child with them.

However, it is possible for someone with special abilities to become the target directly.

– Men sow seeds, and women rent the fields. In this way, all citizens of our country will become people with special abilities in 100 years. Cluck cluck. what? Genetic problem? Does it make sense to impose standards for human genetic problems on people with special abilities?

In the name of this, humanity began to think about the ‘mass production’ of people with special abilities in earnest around 2020.

If a man with a supernatural ability and a woman with a supernatural ability meet each other, get married, and have a child, one person with a supernatural ability is created.

-everyone. Have you ever watched a horse race? Do you know how horses on the racetrack are born?

I heard a parable for those who find it difficult or uncomfortable to hear it.

-They breed. We use male horses with excellent genes and allow mares with excellent genes to have foals. A child born that way is born with a body prepared from birth solely for running and racing.

Use as a stallion.

-Horses give birth to one foal approximately every 11 months. Even if you start breeding from now on, a cub will be born almost a year later. I don’t know if twins or something are born sometimes, but you know what I want to say, right? It’s either good if twins are born, or not.

A combination of excellent genes.

-A male with superior genes naturally has an obligation to spread those genes to multiple females. Passing down genes to just one animal? Wow, then that is a huge loss for all of humanity…no, for the horse racing world. So, you need to allow your stallion to meet as many females as possible. All the male has to do is run hard for one night, and the female just has to raise and give birth to the young in her womb for 11 months.

Of course, when it comes to reproduction, it is the male who can guarantee a relatively ‘high number of times’.

-everyone. Don’t think it’s difficult. Don’t make it complicated. Until now, mankind has repeated the same actions, and history proves this. It’s just that the object has become a different entity. Everyone, shouldn’t I make my children into people with special abilities? In an age where everyone else has superpowers, are you going to let your child live without superpowers?

No matter how much you think about it, it doesn’t seem to be true when you think about humanity and universal ethics.

-There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. yes. If you want to give birth to a baby that will inherit my blood, then do so. Later, when your child is born, don’t tell him that he doesn’t have special abilities. That’s your choice.

However, humans always tend to distort even the logic they thought was fair in the face of selfish greed.

– Everyone, think about it this way. It is no different from sending a child to a kindergarten that teaches Korean from a young age. Are you not going to make my children study Korean when they are young? Now we too must learn Hangul. Gone are the days when English was all you needed to communicate anywhere in the world! Now, we have to study Korean!

Let me say it again.

-Spreading the genes of Koreans with special abilities, making all newborns in this country with special abilities, ugh! who are you!!

This world is a country novel.

-korean! A talented person! man! S-class! If there are people like this, spreading those excellent genes throughout the world is the mission we humanity must do for the next generation, ugh!!

Sounds crazy.

As soon as I heard the sound of surrogacy, a chill ran down my spine.

“Mr. Seolhee? Now, what?”

“I will be your surrogate mother. I.”

Baek Seol-hee, who was sitting on the bed, slowly got up.

Although he was shorter than Ymir, who was quite tall, the atmosphere felt like an overwhelming charisma like Mt. Baekdu.

“Now that Ji-hwan’s wife can’t have children, if Ji-hwan wants to have a child, there’s only one way, right? Having a child through another woman.”

There are no logical errors.

Although there is no problem logically, there is a problem ethically.

“Mr. Seolhee. Do you know what Seolhee is saying right now?”

“Of course I know. I’m not stupid. I am also an adult and a member of the 0th generation of people with special abilities. Even compared to others, he is like a child born with this ability at the earliest opportunity. How could a person like that say something like this without even thinking about it?”

Baek Seol-hee was so confident.

“As a hero and a woman, I try to help as much as I can. That is of great help to me personally and to myself.”

“How does being a surrogate mother help Baek Seol-hee?”

Before I could gather my thoughts for a moment, Ymir came out.

“An S-class hero is having a child with an unknown ‘non-talented person’?”

Ymir completely hid the fact that I was a goblin.

Of course, it is possible to infer the relationship between Platinum Sun and a goblin and infer the ‘Do Ji-hwan = Goblin theory’, but it is safe to say that there are very few people who can come up with such a thing.

“What would happen to the world if Korea’s strongest female hero suddenly announced that she was having a baby? Won’t the world turn upside down to find the man?”

“I can take responsibility.”

“Responsibility? really? It will hinder Teacher Do Ji-hwan’s entire life, right?”

“I’m also saying this because I can take responsibility.”

Can not be done.

Conversation doesn’t work.

“I have a lot of money. In addition to the money I received as an S-class hero, I also invested a lot of money through a financial planner and accumulated quite a bit of assets.”

“With that in mind, are you going to hide Teacher Do Ji-hwan in some secluded villa?”

“If you have money, nothing is impossible. Moreover, if you are receiving help from the country.”

“Are you going to mobilize the power of the nation?”

“Of course. From the government’s point of view, it would be a shame that she doesn’t have a child with the man she wants, but anyway, what they want is for Baek Seol-hee to have a child with special abilities. In that sense, it is helpful to me as well.”

Now, Baek Seol-hee seems to be thinking, ‘What apartment should I take Do Ji-hwan and his wife to so that they can live as far away from people’s attention as possible?’

“A child born with special abilities can later be put on a leash by the government?”

“Then I will step in and help. You can make a deal with the government for the child’s freedom.”

“What if someone with special abilities is not born?”

“Even if it’s not necessarily a child with special abilities, it’s important that it’s Jihwan’s child. Since I gave birth to him, he may have special abilities to some degree, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have special abilities. Because half of the blood belongs to Ji-hwan.”

“Huh, Seolhee?”

I broke off their conversation and grabbed Baek Seol-hee’s shoulder.

“I think it’s because my head is hot right now, but I’m a little calm…”

“I am now making decisions more calmly and rationally than ever before.”

I was in big trouble.

This woman is truly looking at me now.

It’s different from Ymir’s case.

Ymir tests me, sneaks around me to get information, acts wisely, and takes things from me that benefit him.

Baek Seol-hee is different.

It’s not like they’re testing me or trying to figure out if I’m lying.

Like a hero.

“Do you hate surrogacy, or do you hate me? If it’s the latter, I’ll make up my mind. But if it is the former.”

‘Seriously’, she’s hitting on me.

“If your wife gives your permission, wouldn’t it be okay? Try calling me. Right now.”

“Mr. Seolhee. So.”

“Now, hurry up and call me. To my wife. Is it okay if I have a child instead as a surrogate mother?”

“…I’m curious about that too.”

Baek Seol-hee in the front.

“The story of surrogacy came up, so you can’t help but listen to the story of the person involved, right?”

Ymir behind.

And I am caught between the two.

“Yes.”

Beep.

I made a call.

[hello?]

“Honey. It’s me.”

[…Yes, honey.]

where.

“Can I talk to you right now?”

[…I’m working, so just for about 3 minutes. why?]

“You know.”

I thought I couldn’t do it.

“The woman I’m currently meeting on Sejong Island… ‘Two’, I said I could be a surrogate mother when I talked to her. Is that okay? ”
