There is a saying that any parent who has a child responds to the call of mom or dad. Even if it wasn’t his own child shouting.

In the meantime, there was no way I couldn’t hear my children calling me.

“Asha! Adele!”

I quickly ran to where the children were and looked dumbfounded for a moment at the sight reflected in my eyes.

This is because they were sitting side by side on chairs and receiving a foot bath massage in a room that seemed to be decorated with the concept of beautiful nature.

“Wow! Daddy!”

“Uh… what are you doing now…?”

Despite my sudden appearance, the druids washing the children’s feet continued what they were doing without showing any emotion.

“The deer is giving me a treat!”

“The rabbit tickles its feet! Heehee!”

“……What on earth is this.”

I could only express doubts about the incomprehensible sight. These children were clearly kidnapped while they were sleeping, but I don’t know why they are receiving the emperor’s massage service or something like that here.

“Huh… I came this far, in the end.”

What answered my question was a turtle that seemed to have followed me.

There were more than one or two things I wanted to hear from this turtle.

Since the kids are safe, I’ll just move on, but I’ll have to explain it very well.

Whatever it was, it was an obvious fact that the children had been kidnapped.

“Would you like to have a cup of tea first?”

“Tell me first what they are doing.”

I know that foot baths and foot massages are good for your health, but I don’t think children need them.

Fortunately, this turtle seemed to know how absurd this situation was from my perspective.

“Of course I will explain. To do that, it would be better to first explain what we do.”

I heard an explanation about the beings called druids and the reason why they took the children.

It turned out that the foot bath massage they were currently performing was not just stretching, but their own magic ritual to maintain balance.

Of course, it didn’t make me feel any better because it was a suspicious act with no idea what effect it would have on children who were growing up.

“…So I was having a hard time wondering what the balance of nature was, but our children were a huge imbalance?”

The druids’ expressions hardened because they seemed to be expressing the children in a negative way. When I was sensitive, the turtle quickly shook his head.

“That’s not it… I was worried that it might become a being that could artificially have a huge impact on nature.”

“With something that hasn’t even happened yet?”

“But it was bound to happen. Parents and children are mirrors of each other.”

I thought of Arjen. And then he quickly denied it.

“It is a narrow-minded view. You are deciding the future of your children by only looking at Arjen’s actions.”

It’s as if Arjen was born with that kind of disposition from the beginning. But I know Arjen’s past very well.

If it weren’t for Akasha, there would have been no reason for Arjen to be called a crazy dragon by others, nor would there have been any actions.

“You are prepared to kidnap my precious children just for something like that, right?”

The atmosphere calms down again. The only ones free in this situation were Asha and Adele, who were tickling each other and laughing.

“Calm down and listen. We have come to this conclusion and taken action because we have seen it happen countless times in our long lives.”

I rolled my eyes at the turtle’s excuse. I thought the turtle only had a long neck, but its tongue was just as long.

“Rather, don’t you have a narrow-minded view? Taking the child’s side unconditionally without any accumulated experience.”

While listening to the circumstances, the druids who had gathered one by one all nodded in agreement. I couldn’t help but laugh.

However, that laughter never had a positive meaning.

“What the fuck are you talking about? If parents don’t side with their children, who will listen?”

Little by little, the restored faith is expressed externally through feelings of anger. The druids also stiffened their expressions as if they knew that it was different from before.

“……That’s it. Fuck it. Let’s not talk.”

I tried to fire some more, but soon decided to give up. Even if they are different from each other, they have to be slightly different to be able to connect through conversation, but these people were just parallel to me from the beginning.

If this happens, no matter how much you argue, there will be no proper results.

“Let’s just prove each other’s opinions.”

“Proof?”

When I, who had been acting as if I was going to go on a rampage at any moment, calmed down again, the turtle showed a puzzled expression but focused on what I was saying.

“Okay. In your position, children ultimately take after their parents, so in the future, my children will definitely grow up to be tyrants like Arjen who will have a great negative impact on the balance you are talking about. Right?”

“The expression tyrant was not used…”

“Hold your tail and don’t bite! It’s true that I took that stance.”

“……That’s right.”

“I am of the opinion that such things do not matter at all. I can prove it simply. It may take some time, but the children will be able to understand later when they grow up.”

They say that I intervened in the middle and prevented the children from carrying out the ceremony. So even if the children grow up well, they won’t be able to say that it’s all thanks to them.

“That’s right. On the other hand, if children later have a large artificial impact on nature, we can prove our words.”

At the turtle’s words, I intentionally tilted my head exaggeratedly.

“Huh? What are you talking about when you’re doing well?”

“What are you talking about? As you said, isn’t our opinion proven by just looking at how children grow up?”

“Not at all. My children are my precious children, and you must prove yourself separately.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“I’ll explain it briefly. If you have children, they will grow up just like you, according to your opinions. Right?”

The turtle nodded vaguely at my words.

“I’m assuming something that can’t happen, but that’s right. But we are not pure creatures. How can we, beings of nature, reproduce and have children?”

“Why do you keep acting arbitrarily? There is nothing in this world that is impossible.”

I grinned and raised my faith. It was probably the most evil smile I’ve ever seen today.

The reason why I talked to them for a long time without beating them up was to teach them the word “yeokjisaji.”

“You should give birth and raise a child yourself. And prove it to me.”

“What…!”

For the first time in a long time, I was able to use my faith honestly as it was intended to be used.

Changes began to occur in the bodies of the druids who were influenced by my faith. My chest rose and my pelvis widened.

“Wow!?”

Faith used for its original purpose was capable of working miracles even in small amounts.

The miracle of planting seeds of life in Druids, who were originally unable to conceive children, was no exception.

“Hmm.”

When I see the reactions of the druids who can’t help but be embarrassed by suddenly becoming a woman or female, I start to feel a bit angry.

Yes, you will realize that other people’s children are precious only if you give birth and raise them yourself.

“How on earth did this happen!?”

Although there was little change in appearance, it was clearly the angry cry of a turtle whose voice became thinner and higher.

I declared, proudly expressing my faith. These were his first words as God, not as Asha and Adele’s father.

“You fools. Why are you so upset? It is natural to become a woman to give birth to a child.”

“Conception… Ooh, you mean we’re having a baby?”

“Okay. Isn’t that why you all worship so much? Conception and the birth of life are the true providence and balance of nature.”

I say this, but actually there are two things I didn’t expect.

All I did was give their bodies the blessing of pregnancy out of anger.

It was not my intention for them to become pregnant without any male or female seeds, and to have a female body as a reaction.

I don’t know if this is because my faith has been strengthened by accepting dwarves, or because those druids are special.

However, one thing is certain: Pregnancy was possible even if it was not my sperm and even if the partner was not a woman.

And this is absolutely not a ‘blessing’ from the perspective of the person receiving it.

“Uh, how… How could this happen…!”

However, the other person’s reaction is a bit strange.

I thought she would be very frightened when she saw her suddenly pregnant body, but somehow everyone looked filled with emotion.

“Oh… Oh…! Wow, we are finally one step closer to nature…!”

“……..”

These guys were crazier than I thought.

No, the expression ‘crazy people’ is a bit too much, so I think it would be more correct to say that they are people who are more blind to nature.

“Dad. What’s wrong with those people?”

In response to Asha’s innocent question, I hurriedly covered Asha and Adele’s eyes.

“Uh, I think it’s better not to look.”

Those who cry while hugging their female bodies, those who massage their swollen breasts with an ecstatic expression, those who caress their lower abdomen with sad eyes, etc.

No matter how you look at it, they were not in good educational condition.
