Chapter 218 – Chapter 211 – Pregnancy (5)

Returning from his kitchen to the living room, Hernán put down his water bottle.

“Alcohol?”

Karine, whose face was even more red than before, asked a question while hesitating.
Hernán answered, looking at her carine and the child in her arms.

“Ella. Would you like some water?”

“Huh!”

Caught tightly in Kari’s arms, Ella reached out her hand toward the glass Hernan handed her.

“I will feed you.”

But Carine, intercepting it, stroked Ella and slowly brought her water to her child’s mouth.

“Thank you!”

Ella also calmly accepted it and dug further into her carine’s arms.

“Kari’s mom is very warm today…”

“Ella is also warm…”

Karine now even put her chin on top of her Ella’s head.
It would have hurt if she had had her horns on like her mother’s sharpie, but she was Ella and her head was full of her fine hair.

“Karine’s mom sucks so much! Dad is a little red!”

“I guess it’s because Ella is cute…”

Just seeing the two hugging each other is a sight that would make you think it’s a mother and daughter.
Of course, since they look completely different, that thought will soon disappear.

“Ella.”

Hernan looked at the scene without a word and then opened his mouth.

“Huh!”

“Go in now. It’s very late.”

“Huh. Shouldn’t there be Ella to make a younger sister?”

“…”

Resisting the urge to wipe her face, Hernán told Ella to stop sleeping once more.

“Good night…”

Carine kissed Ella on the cheek.
The dreamer’s daughter seemed to be in a good mood and came down to the floor laughing.

And she headed straight to Carine’s room.

“Ella? That’s not your room.”

“Mommy is very tired today!”

Ella’s habit of referring to all the grown-up women here as mother gave Hernan pause.
But she is the only person Ella calls simply mother.

“A sharpie?”

“I came into the room and she said she was so tired that she went to sleep right away. So Ella won’t wake up her mother.”

Roughly, she seemed to be saying that since she could wake the Sharpie if she opened the door now, she would sleep in Carrie’s room, where only her twin brother and sister were sleeping.

“Then see you later, Dad! And Carine’s mother too!”

“Huh!”

Karine, who answered right away, waved her long arm over her head, and Hernan waved her hand as well.
Ella shook her hand as if she was happy, and disappeared into her room.

“Both mothers and daughters are like storms.”

Hernan let out a sigh of alcohol and returned to Carine’s side.
She was staring at Hernán’s empty glass with her cheek on her table.

“Stop, let’s prepare well. I’ll clean up first, so you wash…”

“We… Can’t we stay like this a little longer?”

Blue eyes full of alcohol, unfocused.

The owner of her eyes, which once completely possessed Hernán, slowly opened her mouth.

“Now in this state… Let’s stay in good spirits a little longer.”

She is a great woman who is originally stubborn.
Despite Hernan’s opposition, she jumped into the throne in earnest, and it was also the case that she set out to subdue the reckless demon king.

Not to mention the early actions of coming here.
In fact, even now, that personality has not completely disappeared.

“Wait a minute.”

“Sorry… Forcing it.”

“Nowadays, I still say I’m sorry.”

Hernan, who was sitting next to Karine, poured cold water in front of Karine.

“If Silnia smells her alcohol tomorrow and she asks where she got it, you keep quiet. I will answer.”

“Why… ?”

“Why? Sylnia: She really likes to drink. Can you stop him from looking for alcohol?”

“… No. Sylnia won’t listen to me.”

Hernán soothed his stomach with cold water.
At least feeling that her drunkenness had subsided a little, he kept bringing her up so that Karine would not think of anything else.

“But thanks to today’s drinking, I remembered the old days and it was nice.”

“Really?”

“Okay. But don’t ask me to drink again right away.”

“Hey, El…”

Karine, who had only answered briefly, lifted her upper body from the table.

“I hope you feel good thanks to me… Just one request from me.”

It seems like a failure to turn around.
Shall I just say it a little louder to sleep?

Normally, I would have just told her to go to bed and woke up.
However, I don’t know if it was because of the alcohol or because today was the day he slept with Karine, but Hernan didn’t say anything cold.

“What request?”

“Me too… Can’t you take medicine like Silnia?”

Right before Ella comes out.
She put the request Karine had brought out into her mouth.

“Ovulation pills?”

Hernán remembered the small medicine bottle hanging around his waist.
He always carried a vial of ovulation-inducing drugs with him, just like the dagger or manastone pouch he always carried.

“Me… It must be a constitution that makes it difficult to conceive.”

Carine met her eyes with Hernan’s with her wet blue eyes.

“I can’t get pregnant without help.”

Hernán, who opened his mouth to answer, closed his mouth.
Even in the midst of an accident that got tangled up because of her alcohol, he held on to Carine’s horse.

“You can’t get pregnant without help?”

“Huh. Maybe I can conceive only with the help of magic or medicine every time… Even when you were in the capital, women who couldn’t get pregnant used to take medicine, right? And undergoing magical treatment. I think I am similar.”

The valuable part of Carine’s lamentation was in front of her.

Be it magic or medicine.
Magic.

Hernán recalled suspecting that Sharpie had used magic during Carine’s first pregnancy.
She had been burying them because she didn’t get any additional clues, but the liquor Karine made was creating new clues.

“All fertility drugs and magic are scams. Carine, you also saw that something like that actually worked after coming here for the first time, right?”

“Yes! I was also surprised to see that it had magical effects.”

Hernán now praised the drink he had cursed when Ella came out.

“Then why not use that magic again? Do you really need medicine?”

“Huh… I’ve thought about that too. But I couldn’t use it twice. Is it bad for the body…”

The sound of spitting echoed in Hernán’s throat.
Drinking the rest of the water to moisten his mouth, Hernan tried not to get excited by his drinking.

“Okay? Anyway, the magic of the demons is amazing. Human wizards can’t touch things like pregnancy at all.”

“Yes…”

Karine, who was trying to reply naturally, stopped talking.

Could it be that you noticed that the sharpie was trying to induce her to say that she used her magic?

“Carine?”

“Hey, El…”

Karine looked at Hernan with a very serious face.
Hernán, on the other hand, tried to keep his face as calm as possible.

Of course, because of the alcohol, I couldn’t tell if it was working properly.
Hernán waited for Carine’s lips to move, contemplating whether to turn his admiration for his drink back into a curse.

“Me…”

“I am listening.”

In an instant, Karine’s haughty face distorted greatly.

“I will vomit… Whoops!”

Hernán cursed the drink again.

* * *

“It is a very long night.”

“Ugh, I’m sorry…”

Hernán said it was okay with Carine, who kept saying she was sorry.
He brought scented candles from the bathroom and put them on the table.

The scented candle, which Potty had painstakingly made, emitted a very strong scent and erased the smell inside Carine.

“Smells good…”

Carine, holding her scented candle, was still drunk.
If there was anything else, it was that her energy was drained and she was languid.

“Sleeping… Let’s do it after you’ve definitely calmed down.”

Hernan also sat down next to Carine, feeling a little tired.
Still, today’s drinking party was beneficial in many ways.

Conversing with Marine, it felt like his head, which had become all over the place, had become clearer, and he had caught clues about unexpected events in the past.

How to use this is another matter, but at least there is nothing bad about it now.

“Carine.”

“Yes.”

Now, leaning on the fragrant scent of incense rather than alcohol, Hernán shook off any remaining tension.

“I have a question.”

“I also have… ! Will you give me the medicine?”

“When Ella came out earlier.”

Hernán pretended not to hear and continued to ask questions.

“Aren’t you mad?”

“I? Why?”

“You usually get annoyed or angry when the kids interrupt you.”

Of all the women, Karine was by far the most irritable or angry with the children.
She does, though, and from her point of view, the children here are undesirable.

Because they are children born of women who stole the affection of the man they love.

“Even so, Ella was very pretty earlier? Did the two of you even become close without my knowledge?”

It’s a question you won’t remember when you wake up anyway.
Karine tends to lose her memory when she gets drunk.

That’s why Hernán brought out a question that could honestly hear her feelings.

“I’m popular with the kids… So it’s not strange that I’m close with Ella!”

Karine smiled.

Certainly, as she said, Carine was bizarrely popular with her children.
It’s a strange level to say that it’s simply because they make delicious food or make children’s clothes.

Children are surprisingly sensitive to the feelings that adults have for them.
No matter how good things are, if the other person has a bad heart, he will quickly notice.

“And I like kids too… !”

“Well, well, if you are, then you are.”

Hernán just laughed it off and decided to end it.
Trying to get answers to everything while having a conversation with drunk people at a bar is only going to be difficult.

“Kids… You look alike.”

She half-embraced Hernán to support her Carine, and her muttering came in her ear.
Only her eyes turned to her side and she saw Carine whispering through her half-closed eyes.

“Everyone looks like you.”

At a distance close enough that they could hear each other’s breathing, Hernán focused on her and Carine’s voice.

“I hated it at first… As the children grow… You look just like when you were little…”

Carine crossed her own silver hair and let Hernan’s arms hold her.

“So the kids are good. I like you, so do the kids.”

Karine smiles while leaning on her skin together.
It’s like when we used to hang out together as children.

“Oh, of course my kids are the best. Silver hair is pretty So I…”

Karine’s chest was slowly pressing down on Hernan’s.

“Pregnancy… Will you do it?”

Apparently tonight was going to be longer.
