Chapter 104 – Chapter 100 – The Saint and the Realm of Wishes (1)
A peaceful lunch break.
Hernán put down the baby bottle after being attacked by a ruffian who broke this peace.
“Dad!”
Poti’s son Una.
He seems excited because he just learned to run.
“Hug me!”
The child pricked his ears and stretched out his arms.
Hernán made a troubled expression even though he felt that he wanted to pet the child.
“Sorry. Right now, Dad is feeding his younger siblings.”
“Hey…”
The tear-stained child saw Carine’s twin brother and sister in Ernan’s arms.
She probably didn’t understand her words, but rather she understood the refusal by the look and tone.
“I-over there, L…”
Potty, who had just finished breastfeeding her second and third, opened his mouth.
“I’m going to feed them both, so ooh ah, hug me…”
“Oona!”
Before Hernán could answer Potty next to him, the saintess walked by.
“Did you decide to eat it? Come on. Don’t embarrass Dad.”
“No!”
The child shook her head.
Thanks to that, the sound of the long rabbit ears tapping Hernán’s calf resonated.
“It hurts…”
Is it because the skin is still tender?
The one who was beaten was Hernan, but the one who was hurt was Una.
“Oona. Would you wait a little then? Dad will feed them and put them right on his lap.”
The child tilted her head, but seemed to understand her words to wait.
“Huh…”
“Hernan. It’s better not to suffer during meals and leave it to me. Didn’t you feed the children on duty all day yesterday too?”
The saintess came to the child who grabbed her ear and tried to hold her child.
Hernán hastily shook her head and stopped the saintess from her actions.
“If you are pregnant, don’t overdo it. He said he would wait, so I’ll take him.”
“No, that’s right!”
Forty agreed and set her children down in the chairs next to him.
Patting her children on the back, she looked at her twin sister with her silver hair.
“Warrior children… Give it to me and L eat it with Una.”
She glanced at Potty at those words.
Potty still exposed her breasts, dripping with her breast milk.
She was hoping that Hernán would give her child to him sooner rather than later.
But Hernán felt a bit reluctant to entrust Potty with her Carrie four children.
Of course, Potty couldn’t do any harm to her child in the presence of everyone, even the baby’s mother.
However, for some reason, I suspect that Potty’s favor is to stimulate the hero more.
“I am really fine. So, let’s do what both of you are doing.”
“Well then, leave the child to the hero! After all, they are the children of the warriors… Now that I think I’ve done all the postpartum care, L doesn’t even have to do it, she doesn’t have to!”
Potty added that the hero is the strongest person here, and glanced at the place where her children were gathered.
He turned his gaze to Hernando Poti.
At the end of her gaze, there was Karine, who was feeding her children diligently, filling in the place left by her saintess.
The action itself was lively and busy.
But her expression and the atmosphere around her were drooping, and there was a feeling that her energy was draining.
Her silver hair, which was originally shiny, has also lost a lot of shine, giving it a gray feel.
In addition, the words have almost disappeared.
I only say what I really need to say, and spend most of my time alone and quiet.
And all the women seemed to be happy with that fact.
Hernán, who was holding the hero’s child, unconsciously turned his words around.
“Forty more than that. Will you pass the wish ticket soon?”
“That, that… ?”
Poti immediately turned his head away from Hernán.
Considering that he always couldn’t take his eyes off Hernan, it could be said to be an awkward behavior.
However, recently, when talking about the right to wish, Potty’s reaction was lukewarm.
His words and actions showed that he disliked granting wishes.
And there was a woman next to Forty who didn’t like that attitude.
“Hey!”
Potty was taken aback by the sudden call.
Silnia, who had been force-feeding her darling and her child, frowned at her queen, exasperated.
“You should hurry up and let the wish go through, you’re not going to fix my child’s leg!”
For a moment, fearing that Silnia might say that it was my wish, Hernan let out a sigh of relief.
At least he seemed to have the judgment not to say it.
In a situation where Hernán has children, it is difficult to say that he even wishes for Silnia with Karine’s right of wish.
Everyone will think it’s obviously weird.
After that, everyone would guess that Karine had a major accident and her wish rights were confiscated.
Then, there is a risk that she will rush to use Karine’s wish ticket as well.
In a frantic situation just by taking care of a child, there is no power to mediate the conflict that explodes again.
“Sylnia. She didn’t say Potty wouldn’t do it. And I’m not writing your wish ticket, so calm down.”
Silnia, who alternately looked at Potty, who was avoiding her gaze, and Hernan, who spoke softly, soon lost her momentum.
“L… No, if it were Hernán you, then that would be the case.”
When Silnia quietly stepped back, an awkward air lingered between the women.
Beyond the awkwardness of Potty in particular, she kept adjusting her posture, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
Just as Hernán was about to open his mouth to break the gloomy atmosphere, Sharpie, who was sitting next to him, opened his mouth first.
“We, the elves… You have become a person.”
Sharpie touched her moist eyes with her tail, she said in awe.
“Looking at Silnia’s admirable appearance, her tears were filled with tears…”
“Do you want to go behind, demon bitch!”
“Evil!”
When the demon king raised Silnia’s fork, she freaked out and ducked under her table.
But no fork came flying.
In fact, if Silnia had tried to throw her utensils, she would have been stuck between the eyebrows before the sharpie could react properly to her.
“Ew, I’m an idiot for reacting.”
Silnia sighed, turning her attention to the vegetable bowl in front of her eyes and her son fighting her ki.
Sharpie climbed up from under her table and spoke to Hernan and Potty with a light smile.
“Why don’t we talk about the right to wish later? Let’s eat rice first!”
She said that and bowed her head.
She grabbed Una by the waist as she twitched her ears, and let out a lively voice.
“Oona! Wait, are you with your sister? Your legs hurt when you stand.”
“No! Dad!”
“Side! Do you want to see my sister?”
Sharpie kissed her on the cheek and turned to Oona.
The child naturally met the devil’s eyes.
“To…”
“Are you going to have dinner with your sister?”
The child hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head.
Her face seemed a bit embarrassed.
The dream horse grinned and patted her son between the ears.
“Aww, nice! Is the table full of good kids today?”
Sylnia had a suspicious look on her face, wondering if that was what she was saying to herself.
But when she and her son called out that it was meat, she sighed and returned to her meal.
The saintess, who had been silently watching the scene, also quietly left her seat.
“… Then I’m off. The Demon King takes good care of the children.”
Sharpie sent her saintess away with her eye smile and put her sweet pie into her mouth.
Both Hernan and Poty stared at him and were silent.
The demon king tilted his head and blinked his red heart eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh, no…”
“No. Let’s eat.”
Hernán lifted the bottle again, taking his eyes off Potty’s son, who had become quiet.
* * *
Hernán sat next to Potty with Una, a slightly tired face.
Potty praised his son for running around the lab with his father and handed him a cup of rose tea.
“Thank you.”
Enjoying the fragrant scent of roses, Hernán touched the wishing sphere in her arms once.
Both sheets are fine.
One of them is waiting for Potty’s permission.
It’s already been three months since she received this wish ticket from Karine.
For about two months, she tried one last natural pregnancy with Silnia.
Of course I wasn’t pregnant.
When there were no signs of pregnancy, Hernan asked Silnia how long the elves average breastfeeding period.
Silnia replied that although she was not good at it, she fed it for 4 or 5 years.
Hearing that, Hernán decided that Silnia’s fertile period would not return right away in the normal way.
So, a month ago, she handed over the wish ticket written by Karine to Potty.
“Forties. Have you thought about what we said at lunch earlier?”
“… A wish right?”
“Huh. I think I had enough time to think.”
Forty had a similar reaction to what he had had all month.
“Rather than that, if you eat all of that, how about mint tea? There has been a lot of mint lately!”
“Isn’t mint very bad for a nursing woman?”
“Then Ro, how about rosemary tea?”
Potty kept trying to divert his words.
Hernán did not answer right away and took a sip of rose tea.
Then he sat his son, who was starting to doze off, on his lap.
“Are you dissatisfied with Karine’s wish?”
Potty, who was talking briskly, shut his mouth tightly.
In response, Hernan spoke in a soft voice.
“Karine won’t be using that. Did you hear that too?”
When Hernán revealed what he had written on Carine’s right of wish, that is, to ask for the medicine for her childbearing period, Potty did not like it.
But Carine said she would not wear it, as Hernán and her had kissed beforehand.
“Still, there’s no guarantee that the hero won’t be able to use it…”
“You can keep the medicine in a cell that only I can open.”
Hernán put down the teacup and wrapped his arms around Potty’s shoulders as he held the two children.
“And Potty has to hurry up and grant the right to wish, so I can make a wish to fix Silnia’s son. Queen Poti desperately needs help, can you help?”
Potty pursed his lips in silence.
Then he closed his mouth again and was silent for a moment.
Hernán waited patiently, contemplating what he would wish for after this wish.
The mana stone that Potty was talking about?
Or insurance for the next pregnancy or birth?
If that’s not the case, Karine’s remaining wish ticket can be used to make a wish for everyone’s convenience.
After thinking for a while, Potty spoke cautiously.
“That drug… Will you give it to Saint Silliana? Or Shafina.”
Hernan looked into Poti’s golden eyes and answered slowly.
“Perhaps.”
Golden eyes tremble with anxiety.
Because ovulation is accomplished through sexual intercourse, he is different from fertile period 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In other words, there is no need for drugs that bring fertility.
If so, the target to use the drug will be for women with a normal fertile cycle.
“Are you worried about falling behind in rank points?”
She didn’t answer
And that silence was a sufficient answer for Hernán.
The biggest reason Potty has risen to the rank of queen now is that she can use her pregnancy and childbirth as weapons.
She can conceive more easily than anyone else, and give birth more than anyone else.
Within the bizarre rules set by the Demon God, she is no different from an overwhelming force.
If she had only Sharpie’s stamina, she would have already insisted on getting pregnant again.
But for Forty, who had been on the brink of death several times in her last two pregnancies, the word that she was pregnant didn’t come easily.
From her point of view, she has sealed her own most powerful weapon.
Until she somehow builds up her stamina, she’ll be wishing that other women don’t get pregnant.
Hernán was closer to Potty with a warmer attitude than ever before.
It was actually very warm, with the body temperatures of her parents and three children intertwining.
“Forties.”
He opened his mouth at the timid little rabbit.
“Class is not necessarily a sign of affection. The same goes for the number of children.”
Normally, it would be inappropriate to say such a thing to someone at the top of the hierarchy.
Especially if you say it with a feeling similar to consolation.
“I love you wherever you are.”
But if you’re plagued by the fear that the person might soon be evicted, this isn’t bad either.
“Love…”
Potty pricked her ears up at her words of love.
She always preferred Hernán’s direct expressions of affection.
Say I love you.
Hug and caress your body.
And sex in bed.
It was all a desperate need for a rabbit who lived in loneliness all his life.
“So don’t be too scared.”
Hernán grinned as he spoke.
He continued his speech in a slightly playful tone.
“And there’s no way our fertility queen can come down easily, right?”
“That, right?”
Potty smiled awkwardly and nodded her head.
Hernan Rather than nodding at her words, she seemed to be trying to convince herself.
The queen, leaning on her king, took a long time to make up her mind.
And after a while, she granted the right to wish.
* * *
“Is this the drug?”
Hernán responded by showing a small bottle of medicine to the women in the living room where everyone was gathered.
There were about twenty black pills in the glass bottle.
He also showed a piece of paper with instructions to never consume more than one at a time and to use it carefully, and Hernan met Silnia’s eyes.
Silnia twitched her ears with her very excited eyes.
“Will you get pregnant if you eat this?”
She tried to reach for her medicine bottle.
Hernan hurriedly pulled back the medicine bottle and smiled.
“Hernan!”
“Wait for a sec. There is something I need to check first.”
“You can read the manual carefully later!”
Despite Silnia’s urging, Hernan shook his head.
Then he pulled out another piece of paper from his pocket.
Everyone focused on what was written on the paper.
[Upstairs open.]
Hernan made eye contact with the women and then turned around.
“Let’s take a look at the newly opened place.”
