Now that I had safely comforted Arjen, it was time to comfort myself. I didn’t show it outwardly as much as I could, but I still feel bad about not being able to see Arjen for a long time. Moreover, it is not just one or two years, but a whopping 50 years. Aside from the 360 years of separation, I wonder why the world is trying to separate me and Arjen like this.

“…Well, I have to endure it.”

Of course, there’s nothing I can do. What can you do other than endure it? It’s nothing else, it’s because of my child. All I have to do now is gather supplies for living outside of Rare.

“Huh? What happened? To this deep place?”

As I walked into the depths of the lair, I was able to meet Wayne, who was organizing various items. She was forced to quit her job as a warrior due to the oath she made with Arjen, and has been organizing Arjen’s rares for a living for a time longer than a human lifespan.

“Arjen probably didn’t ask you to run any errands… Did you go out for a walk?”

“If I had been going for a walk, I would have gone outside instead of here… No, I came here to prepare to go outside, so wouldn’t that be wrong.”

“Really? When will you come back? Don’t stay out without saying anything like last time. Do you know how it feels to eat a well-prepared dinner alone?”

“Sorry. I think I’ll be out for a bit longer this time. About fifty years?”

“Hey?”

Even though he had lived for a long time, Wayne let out a breathless sound as the long time period that was difficult to estimate by human standards came out of my mouth.

“Oh, you should go out with me too. For 50 years.”

“Uh… you decided to move the rare?”

“That’s not it…”

I explained it from the beginning to Wayne, who was completely confused. Wayne, who had heard the whole story, was struggling to keep a straight face and suppress a smile as to what was so funny.

“If you want to laugh, laugh. Thank you for telling me what’s funny.”

“Ha, no… it’s nothing… ok, but then you became the god of conception…? Puheup.”

“…Of course that was funny.”

“Phuhuhu! Oh, sorry, sorry. I didn’t mean to laugh.”

“You said that while laughing so hard?”

“Giggle….”

After laughing for a while, Wayne sighed.

“Ha, so that means I have to go out first, right? So that Arjen doesn’t worry for nothing.”

“Yes. Still, I’m glad Eletrobe is close by. Because there, if something happens to Arzen, I can run right away.”

While talking, I gathered the necessary items and before I knew it, my luggage was full. It would have been nice to have something like a subspace backpack like you see in other fantasy stories, but unfortunately, there was no such convenient tool.

“Whoa, it’s been a while since I wore these clothes.”

Wayne took off the maid uniform he always wore and put on gear that made him look like a warrior.

“Wow, that looks really awkward. It was definitely like this when we first met…”

“I add. Because I haven’t worn this in the 300 years you’ve been gone.”

Despite this, the armor did not appear to be tight or loose. After maintaining a certain body shape for over 300 years, I once again felt like I had to take care of myself.

“Finally, let’s talk with Arzen for a bit.”

Actually, it was right for me to leave right away, but the thought that I wouldn’t be able to see him for a while kept holding me back. Wayne seemed to know this as well and followed me without saying anything.

“Arjen.”

“Ugh… Eugene….”

As soon as Arjen heard my voice, he closed his eyes tightly.

“Why are you closing your eyes like that?”

“But… I promised myself I wouldn’t be able to see him, but now I don’t think I can bear it if I see Eugene’s face…”

It was a remark that was too relatable to just dismiss as a cute reason. Because even now, I was filled with feelings of not wanting to leave.

“Just hold on for 50 years.”

“Yes… I’ll try my best….”

Arjen responded weakly to my words, then slightly opened his eyes towards Wayne and said,

“Wayne, you need to behave well around Eugene while I’m away. Got it?”

“Okay.”

“I’m saying you should pull it out every day so that you don’t have an affair with another bitch.”

“I understand.”

The bloody conversation between the two women somehow makes me feel a chill on the back of my neck.

“Well, what are you extracting?”

“What can I say, it’s semen.”

“If someone other than me conceives Eugene’s baby, that species will become extinct from that day on.”

To be honest, I wasn’t confident that I would be able to control my sexual desires after 50 years, but from now on, for the sake of species diversity, I will make sure not to mess around with my dick carelessly.

“Then… bye really.”

“I love you.”

After saying our final goodbyes, I left Argen’s Lair with Wayne. It was the first time since the day my legs were cut off that I left Arjen behind.

“…Something, I feel strange.”

It feels different than when I returned to Earth. At that time, we were forced to separate from each other in the first place, and the thought of never being able to meet again made me anxious.

But now, we can meet again whenever we want. Of course, considering Arjen and the unborn child, it would be better not to do that, but in any case, it was much better than before.

I felt like I should be anxious, but I wasn’t. Rather, it was a strange sensation that felt like something was tickling.

“What kind of feeling is this?”

“Isn’t it a relief?”

“Why am I suddenly feeling so empty…?”

“No, that’s right. I don’t remember because it was so long ago. My father was also very happy when my mother went to her parents’ house sometimes. Of course, I didn’t show it on the outside.”

“Uh…? Is this it?”

The free time of married men, something we often hear about on Earth. Was this feeling the result of such emotions?

“No, but I love Arzen?”

“My father also loved my mother, right? How can you turn a normal family into soybean flour…”

“No, I didn’t mean it that way… Anyway, that’s what you’re saying, right?”

I put aside any remaining doubts and headed to Eletrobe with Wayne. Eletrobe, which has now been completely transformed to live up to its name as a trading city, is at a level where everything is missing compared to this world, so there was no major inconvenience in staying there. Except for the fact that the Lord of Eletrobe was making a fuss when he heard about my visit.

“Oh my gosh, Eugene. How many days do you plan to stay in Eletrobe?”

“Do you want it to be short? Or do you want it to be long?”

“Ugh, if that’s how I feel, I’d be very grateful if you could stay on the throne as long as I’m on the throne as a lord… but since Arzen will be there too, that wouldn’t be possible.”

I felt sincerity in the lord’s words. I wondered how this guy would react to my answer.

“If that’s the case, I’d love you so much that I might die. Fifty….”

Wayne covered my mouth while I was speaking. I, who covered my mouth, and the lord who saw it looked at her with a puzzled expression.

‘why?’

‘Let’s talk about it appropriately. There may be consequences.’

‘…aha.’

I belatedly understood Wayne’s meaning and corrected my words.

“I plan to stay for about fifty days.”

“Oh! In that case, please feel free to stay at the castle in the meantime. Citizens will also be very happy while Eugene is at Eletrobe.”

After dealing with the lord who made a fuss one after another, I returned to the room.

“Wow, that person seems treacherous just by looking at him.”

I covered up for Wayne as he clicked his tongue as if he was tired.

“You’re not really a traitor. Even though he looks like that, he is from the Guzak royal family and is of Duneld family origin. He must be of very high status.”

“Our worldly status must be meaningful to us.”

After all, it was pointless pretense to say that he was a baron or a count since he lived in Argen’s Lair. Even if we actually looked at our status in human society, I was a saint and Wayne was a warrior, so it was the same as being a noble.

“By the way, the reason you covered my mouth earlier was because of security issues, right?”

“Yes. I don’t want to leak the information that Arzen…”

Wayne even hid the word pregnancy because he didn’t want it to be revealed.

“Well… it could be a weakness.”

Who would dare think of harming Arjen? Probably not among humans. But humans also have mouths. It would not be unreasonable for the news that Arjen was pregnant to spread widely. And there were still external threats that we must not forget.

“Akasha, we have to stop it from getting into the ears of that crazy dragon.”

It’s not a crazy dragon, so it doesn’t know what to do. It’s even more surprising that it’s been quiet so far.

“I’ll probably stay hidden until I’m confident that I can win. Viola will be stronger right now.”

“That’s right. The fact that they are looking for us means that we can find them too. It would be better if I just turned it off for the rest of my life.”

“Well. It’s not like we’re going to live for 100 years anymore. I think you might encounter it at least once in your life, right?”

Even just for that time, I thought it would be a good idea to further develop my faith and enhance my power as a god.

…Just because you become the god of conception doesn’t mean you can really use your faith only to make others pregnant.
