Chapter 173 – Chapter 166 – The New Order (1)

Lying in the middle of the clearing, Hernán looked at the ceiling of the garden.

A glass ceiling that has never seen rainy weather.
Not a single bird passes by.

All I could see was a few clouds and the blinding sunlight.
Even that, the field of view is spinning round and round, so I can’t see it properly.

“Hernan?”

Hernán, who had been lying still, heard a voice he was so familiar with.

He took his eyes off the ceiling of the garden, which seemed to never change, and forced his eyes to the right.

“Aren’t you dizzy?”

The dreamer, holding a newborn baby, smiled.
Sharpie, who suffered severely from her morning sickness this time, spoke with a slightly haggard face.

“How come your eyes are out of focus?”

“Not dizzy. At least, I’m used to it these days, so I just endure it.”

Hernan shook his head and closed his eyes.
He smiled and pointed in all directions in the darkness of his vision.

“Still, everyone likes to come up here.”

He closed his mouth and paid more attention to his ears.

Through my recently sensitive hearing, I could hear children and women running around.

“Is Una going to be drunk today?”

Ella always has a bright voice.

“Ouna prefers to run away…”

Judging by the slightly drooping voice, this is Oona’s voice.

“Hey, guys. Forty mom runs so much, Lord, she looks like she’s going to die, so can’t we just stop walking?”

And this is Potty.
It seemed that he couldn’t stand the children’s overflowing stamina and was exhausted.

“Then mom is the tagger! Come catch me slowly!”

Of course, the children ignored Potty’s request and tried to run again.

“My cow, can’t we play house?”

“Mom is not good at playing house!”

Well, Potty had first learned to play house when she came here, so she didn’t know how to proceed.

In fact, not only that, but he had a hard time playing with kids because he had never played the games he usually did as a kid.

“Oh, I can’t help it…”

Potty made a faint look, but when the rabbit ears in front urged him to come, he eventually started jumping.

Meanwhile, not all children were accustomed to running.

“Mom! I’m having a hard time. Hug me!”

“Hey, Ethan! Can’t you see your mom is holding your two little sisters right now?”

“Hug me!”

Hernan heard a disgruntled Ethan stamping her feet.
The sound was quite satisfying to Hernán.

“Except that I’m not used to running, my legs are pretty much back to function.”

This time, Marina’s voice is heard from the left side of her body.

Hernan opened his eyes again and focused his attention on the owner of the voice.

“It’s been quite some time since Ethan asked me to fix her leg.”

The saintess was covered with a blanket on top of her large belly.

“Sylnia has been 7 months since giving birth to her third child. She became queen, and she is like him.”

Hernán counted the time contained in those words and closed his eyes again.

As soon as Ethan’s leg healed, Silnia took the ovulation inducer.
She did and for almost a week she had to suffer from severe stomach pain as a side effect of her medication.

Fortunately, there were no problems after that.
However, Hernan and Silnia had no choice but to be cautious about using ovulation inducers again.

Thanks to that, Silnia didn’t take her new ovulation-inducing pills until seven months after giving birth to her third child.

“And the demon king gave birth to a new child, and soon it was my turn to give birth to a child as well.”

If Marina gives birth this time, she is the 14th child.
Now 5 to fill the target of 25.

This is the number of people that would be satisfied if the women got pregnant just once more.

It would be easier to achieve if you had twins.

“Since we’ve been here…”

As Hernán muttered and tried to count the number of days she had entered, Sharpie answered quickly.

“1800 days.”

She spoke again slowly.

“Exactly 1800 days from today. In terms of years, that’s almost five years?”

She already said she’s been locked up here for 5 years.
She was about to feel weird.

“Has the time passed like that before?”

“It’s a bit of a short time for me and the elves.”

Sharpie chuckled and cut her off.
Although he couldn’t see it with her own eyes, Hernán felt he could see where she was looking.

“Are you trying to tell me I’m in my 30s now?”

Sure enough, Marina responded to Sharpie with a faint hint of displeasure.
The saintess who was the oldest in the warrior party.

I don’t know her exact age, but she’s probably just entering her 30s.

“Huh? Did this body just try to tell humans that a very long time has passed?”

Sharpie continued her speech with a smirk.

“And should we say that as our saintess gets older, the richer the taste? If possible, I also want to suck the saintess’s dick!”

“Under…”

The saintess didn’t even have the heart to get angry, she just let out a deep sigh.

Instead, Hernán raised her upper body and opened her mouth.

“Anyway, a lot of time has passed here. It is true that the day we will escape is getting closer.”

2 years?
Or 3 years?

I don’t know what will happen in the middle, but I think it will take that long if the pregnancy goes smoothly.

“Maybe going out and discussing things a bit more…”

“L.”

Hernán reflexively opened her eyes at Karine’s suddenly heard voice.

“It’s time to go down and prepare dinner.”

Even in the dizzying vision, he caught Carine’s blue eyes.

“Is it that time already?”

Hernán held out her hand, remembering that it was Carine who was on duty for dinner tonight.

Karine smiled and tried to take the hand, but she stopped both her laughter and her hand.

“Dad.”

Lenny, who was clinging to Marina, grabbed Hernan’s hand before Carine did.

“Can you stay here with me a little longer?”

The child made a request using a fairly natural sentence.

“Can’t we play with flowers here with Dad and Mom?”

Hernán felt a bit embarrassed.

If Marina had asked for something like Lenny’s, he would have easily brushed it off and gone to help Carine.

However, when his child asked for it, as he does now, he did not readily say no.
In particular, it was unexpected that Lenny, who is not usually good at requests, made such a request, so he found it all the more difficult to refuse.

Besides, Marina seemed to be subtly encouraging it.

“Lenny. Do you want to play with Daddy?”

“Yes.”

“Lenny has been whining about wanting to play with Dad since yesterday.”

Hernán held Lenny’s warm hand and waited for her answer.

“Hmm…”

And from the side of the sharpie who was watching it, I felt a sign of something moving.

Seeing how nimble it is, is it a tail?

Hernan felt that her senses became strangely sensitive when he came to her garden.
As she is now, she knows not only the slightest sound and the flow of air, but even closing her eyes and smelling the scent, she knows which flower she is close to.

Are the other senses becoming more sensitive because the sight is paralyzed?

Somehow he could hear the footsteps of the young creature running toward him.

“Huh… Ella! If you run too fast, forty weeks, you die.”

Sharpie and Hernan’s first child jumped at Hernan, leaving the lagging Potty behind.

“Yap!”

Ella, who grabbed her father’s hand, spun around on the spot.
After her child had turned around, her hand rested on Carine’s.

“Dad and Carine’s mom are making dinner tonight, right? It looks really good!”

Even in the confused vision, Hernán sensed Sharpie’s strange smile.
She must have called Ella by sending a signal with her tail.

And her smart Ella noticed the meaning at once and helped.

“Let Lenny play with her sister!”

“Uh…?”

Then, holding Lenny’s hand tightly, he ran to the children and Potty who were playing hide and seek in the distance.

Lenny couldn’t resist properly because of the momentum, and she fell into the chase.

“You look like the eldest daughter, right?”

Sharpie let out a proud voice at the appearance of Ella, who even cleaned up her aftermath.

In contrast, the saintess let out a light moan.

“I can’t believe she’s less than five years old.”

Certainly, Ella was playing the role beyond her average adult.
She also often felt that, frankly, Ella seemed to have more political flair than Forty.

“Hernan.”

Marina whispered so that only Hernán could hear.

“See you here separately from me later. I have developed a hypothesis about your vertigo.”

Instead of answering, Hernan just nodded lightly.

Apparently, the reason Lenny didn’t stop asking Ernan to play with him earlier was to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone in the garden.

As he contemplated a cause for her meeting with Marina in her garden, he grabbed Carine’s hand and stood on her feet.

“Shall we go, El?”

Carine, who regained her lover’s title, pulled Hernán away.
Standing upright with no signs of a back injury, Hernan moved his feet to where Carine was pulling him.

“Let’s go. We have to hurry to be in time for dinner.”

As she moved her steps, she felt that for some reason all the women in the garden seemed to be staring this way.

And it probably isn’t just a feeling.

No woman enjoys hanging out with Karine.
No, did Sharpie enjoy it?

Hernan laughed bitterly at this strange situation where only the demon king supported the hero’s love.

* * *

“L.”

Carine put food in her bowl for the children, who now have some chewing on the tough stuff.

“Huh. Do you have anything to ask?”

Ernan replied, thinking about who he should sleep with today so that the women won’t complain.
And Karine’s continued words dispelled those thoughts.

“Can’t I take ovulation triggers too?”

Hernán stopped his busy hands and looked back at him.

Karine showed off her slim back and long silver hair.
In other words, she turned around and didn’t reveal any expression whatsoever.

“Me… I can’t get pregnant.”
