I stared at the pregnancy test quietly.

I stared blankly at it over and over again.

This can’t be fake, right? But what if it’s real? I kept staring at it with that question in mind.

Then, Kylon and Jimin, who were next to me, glanced at me.

“… What did he say?”

“What, what are you saying?”

He can’t speak, so I don’t know why he speaks like that.

To anyone who saw me say that, it would seem like I was having a sincere conversation with him.

I opened my eyes wide and glared at him, but that only lasted for a moment.

Her expression immediately softened and she reached out to him with a trembling hand.

As if what I saw wasn’t a blur, he opened his eyes wide and grabbed my wrist, which was holding the pregnancy test, as if he saw the exact same results as I did.

“Ouch.”

“A child… is born…?!”

He was delighted.

It was certainly a joyous thing to have a new life, a child between me and him. But for some reason, I felt a strange emotion.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t happy. I had hoped for this result from the beginning, and I had been fucking him all this time until I got pregnant, and he kept fucking me.

If you still don’t get pregnant, that’s the problem.

But when I actually found out that I was pregnant, I felt really strange.

A feeling that seems good but is also unsettling.

Now, I was getting fuller and fuller, and I was starting to feel a little complicated about the fact that I had to have a baby like that.

I may not be able to bless the birth of a new life, but will I become a bad mother by worrying about the future like this?

“… Jimin.”

I called out to Kylon in front of me, muttering.

Han Ji-min, that was my original name, but the man who quietly took that name.

My lifelong partner.

“Why?”

He answered me with a smirk, as if he was enjoying the feeling of flying.

There was a time when I hesitated a little because I thought that saying something would be like pouring cold water on that expression because it looked so refreshing.

“No, I was just wondering what to name the child.”

I asked that with a bitter smile.

I didn’t want to bring up my worries here because I thought it would only make him more worried.

Wouldn’t it be better if we could laugh together while we’re so happy?

They say that happiness is more enjoyable when doubled.

He seemed really happy to hear my question. He put the pregnancy test aside, gave me a light kiss on the cheek, and looked at me lovingly.

“… Really? What do you want to name it? It has to be Han, since it has to be my last name.”

He chuckled at the name that had already become familiar.

Looking at that fierce and playful expression, I couldn’t help but think that he was really unstoppable.

Anyway, after hearing that, I hesitated for a moment and then quietly opened my mouth.

Because I couldn’t just leave it up to her to decide on the name of the child.

“Midwinter?”

“… You shouldn’t name it.”

After hearing his words, I felt embarrassed for no reason and lowered my face, which turned red.

His hand grabbed my chin and lifted it slightly, as if he didn’t have to do that.

A sensitive gaze was fixed on me.

I averted my gaze because it felt burdensome, but he tilted his head in the direction I was looking as if he didn’t want to leave it that way.

“Why, why are you doing that?”

“Why is it midwinter?”

“Just because we met then… ”

I muttered like that.

He chuckled.

“What are you talking about, we… ”

And that expression became more and more hardened.

Because I was talking about the seasons here, not the seasons in the game world.

“That’s right. It’s winter.”

He muttered something like that and then let out a deep sigh.

“Right?”

This time I was right.

When I responded to him with a teasing laugh, he groaned.

“But I don’t think it’s midwinter. Let’s do something else. You should give the child a proper name in the first place. If you have a second child, why are you going to call it mid-autumn?”

“… That sounds good? Midwinter, midfall, midsummer.”

“Then what name are you going to give the fifth one?”

When I heard that, I froze for a moment.

If you have four, you can give them names like midwinter, midautumn, midsummer, midspring.

But once it becomes the fifth season, there is no next season, so it becomes impossible to give it a name.

Really? What name should I give the fifth one?

While I was seriously contemplating this, I was shocked to learn why the fifth child was born.

“Oh, wait a minute! Why is it that you have to have more than five?!”

When I screamed in horror, his sly attitude returned.

“Why? You don’t like being a mother of five?”

“… That’s not it… Oh, you want me to stay full for five years?”

He said so while grumbling.

Honestly, one child would have been enough.

It was at a level where even two or three would be okay.

But I thought it would be a little difficult if it went over four or five times.

I wanted to have a child, and I thought it would be good if I had one somehow.

But who raises all those kids?

If I go out to work later and say I’ll do my part, then I’ll have to take care of those kids?

When do I do housework and when do I take care of the kids?

I opened my mouth to snap at him, saying that his story was too hopeless.

“And who is raising those kids?”

But he answered confidently, as if he had already made a plan.

“Just call someone?”

“… What?”

“Why don’t you call a housekeeper? She’ll take care of the baby too. Of course, my wife will do it at night.”

Those words gave me goosebumps, so I groaned and glared at him.

“If you leave everything in the hands of others like that, you will end up not being able to do anything with your own hands.”

“That’s okay, honey! As long as you know how to have a baby, that’s fine.”

“… What the heck, am I the one giving birth?”

“No way. Just eat what you want, enjoy what you want, and have kids with me.”

It was a subtle feeling.

It was clearly a story about having fun and eating, but since there was talk of having a child in the middle of it, I had a strong feeling of wonder about what they were talking about.

“… Child, child.”

I asked a little seriously.

“Oh, how many are you going to give birth to?”

“… Realistically, three?”

“Set… ”

When I suddenly asked him to be realistic, he answered realistically again.

That’s kind of…

“Why? Since there are three of them, do you think it’s really possible to have one?”

“Ah, no! I, I don’t know? Let’s think about that after the baby is born… ”

I answered, pushing his face away slightly.

Then he chuckled, grabbed my arms gently, and pushed them to either side.

His face came closer through the gap between my outstretched arms.

My body, lying on the bed, had nowhere to run and accepted the feeling of those lips.

I had no intention of resisting from the beginning.

As he quietly felt the warmth, he took his lips off and asked quietly.

“… But, we have a child, so do we not have to have a wedding?”

“A wedding? Is there anyone coming…?”

“No, that’s not it. I think it would be better for you to try on a wedding dress once before becoming a mother.”

He was making strange noises.

I really don’t understand why they would do something like that when no one would be watching them anyway.

“… You don’t just want to see it?”

“That’s right. I want to see it. I want to fuck you while you’re wearing a wedding dress… ”

“Crazy.”

“Of course, the rental fee alone is quite expensive, so it’s a bit much to do something like that. Besides, even if you buy it, you’ll only wear it once or twice and put it in the closet.”

He shrugged.

I was about to sigh and let it go, but something suddenly came to my mind.

“… How do you know the rental fee?”

“… … .”

Kylon suddenly becomes silent.

He slightly avoided my gaze, and I closed my arms again to grab his face to turn his gaze away.

I placed my hands on both cheeks, grabbed his face, and forcibly turned his head.

When he turned towards me, he eventually felt that he had reached the limit of being able to avoid eye contact, so he started looking at me.

The moment our eyes met, I looked at it with my eyes wide open and asked in a questioning tone.

“How do you not know?”

“… Well, I found out, right?”

“You haven’t done it yet?”

“I was planning to do it soon… If you let me, it will happen in no time. I won’t be inviting guests anyway.”

Hearing that made me feel dizzy.

“But why aren’t you inviting guests?”

“… Anyway, it doesn’t seem like my parents will come, and you can’t call them either.”

At those words, I kept my lips tightly shut.

That’s true. I was convinced.

“Why, do you really want to do it?”

I asked cautiously.

For some reason, it seemed like he really wanted to do this.

And as if that was the right answer, a positive answer came back from his mouth.

“I want to do it. It’s a memory, and it’ll be the most memorable moment. And also… ”

“And what else?”

“If I don’t do it now, I might be able to do it later. I don’t want to miss this experience. This isn’t something you can do by finding a friend.”

I almost nodded my head at those words.

While I was thinking so seriously, he opened his mouth playfully.

“Ah, even when I’m full, I’m still cold… ”

“Really dead.”

As I said that, I pushed his face away with my hand.

He was pushed away and coughed, turning his head from side to side.

I moved to the middle of the bed to avoid him.

“You’re a pervert. You’re maniacal. I wonder why you’re like that.”

While I was selling like that, he accepted it without any problem.

“You know that?”

“… What.”

“You and I have the same taste in games.”

“… … !!”

As soon as I heard that, I was so embarrassed that I threw the pillow next to me at him.
