Chapter 229 – Chapter 222 – Childbirth (9)

Hernán saw a flower bed in the middle of the garden.
The garden, which had become a mess when the human gods invaded, was now full of colorful flowers.

Among the flowers, what caught Hernan’s attention was the part where the red flowers were in full bloom.

It’s not that it’s prettier or prettier than other flowers.
What drew Hernan’s attention was the traces of being pressed down in the shape of a person lying down.

If Sylnia sees it, she’ll start a match.

Hernán clicked his tongue inwardly, but judging from the size of the trace, he noticed who the woman lying in the bright red flower field was.

“Demon King, so do you love Sharpie?”

Hernán took his eyes off the flower field and looked at the woman who came up alone with him.

“Huh. Do you love that dreamer?”

Seeing Carine sitting next to him, Hernán felt a strange feeling.

Karine is silver-haired, shy, and unlike her cold impression, she is a woman with intense emotions.
Shafikara has black hair, red eyes, and unlike her emotional face, she is a cold-hearted woman on the inside.

Considering that they are the hero and the demon king, they are two completely contrasting characters.
As if someone had written a script.

“Are you complaining about something? The question is a bit out of the blue.”

“Please don’t turn around…”

Carine bit her thumb nail in her anxiety.
Looking closely, her other fingernails had already been bitten and shortened.

Her fingernails were long until just ten days ago, so have these few days caused concern?

“I think the time has passed for us to confirm our affection for each other, Karine.”

Hernán opened her mouth, choosing her words more carefully.

“We’ve already done that a lot, and we’ve been quite burned, right? Besides, there’s not much time left to go out, so why don’t you…”

“It doesn’t mean that!”

At the sharp cry, Hernan looked to his side with startled eyes.
Beside him was Karine, who, like Hernan, was covering her mouth with her surprised eyes.

She immediately removed her hand from her mouth and lowered her head.

“Sorry.”

“… In fact, no one is sane after coming here. I understand you as a comrade.”

When Hernán, who first calmed her down, made her laugh, Karine laughed hard.
At least it was her nervous laugh that didn’t completely ease her mood.

Still, Karine brought her words out with a calmer feeling than she just had.

“My question is… Do you love Sharpie as much as any other woman?”

“As much as the other girls?”

Karine nodded her head and leaned back on her garden chair.

“Everyone has had a lot of accidents since coming here. To be honest, I’m glad no one died.”

She leaned her back against Hernando’s chair and gazed at the glass ceiling in the garden.
In the light of the setting sun, I remembered all sorts of things that had happened.

Because of the escape, a bloody fight between women for the affection of a man and for the use of the right to wish did not cease.

There were so many things that made me feel dizzy even thinking about it now, such as forcibly getting pregnant, beating someone up, or feeding them something dangerous.

“Okay… Thinking back, there were so many dizzying things. So?”

“Did El forgive the women at the end and accept them again?”

Karine also stared blankly at her ceiling and let out her words.

“You accepted me too. The day I fell to the bottom.”

She didn’t answer.
Being uncomfortable with each other, Hernán simply put her arm behind Carine’s shoulder.

“Is it because you love me that women accept me even when they make mistakes? Of course, there is also the point of being a mother of children.”

“I can’t get along with you guys just because I’m the mother of the children.”

It was a strange conversation.
A conversation that I thought I would never have to do with Karine.

When she, one of the women most obsessed with her lover’s affection, spoke so calmly about her love for another woman, she felt awkward for some reason.

“In a way, you might say that your affection has been confirmed because all women have made big mistakes.”

“I don’t want to be confirmed for affection like that in the future.”

This time, Karine also smiled.
It was still a nervous laugh.

Seeing that Hernando Carine doesn’t relax easily, she raised her tension little by little.

“So how does that lead to the question of do you love Sharpies?”

“The Demon King hasn’t had that opportunity yet, has it?”

“Having an accident and being forgiven?”

“Huh. A chance to get your affection confirmed.”

Hernan, who was about to open his mouth, closed it again.
Come to think of it, unlike other women, Shafi didn’t have any accidents or mistakes that would cause Hernán to fall apart.

Of course, as time passed, there were many suspicious parts in the demon king’s actions, and there were many suspicious things.
The fact that her demon god acts as her eyes and ears also makes it difficult to get close to her.

But if you ask if it has reached the point where forgiveness or reconciliation is still needed, it wasn’t.

Just embarrassing

It was a step that could be expressed like that.

“Unlike other women, the Demon King has never had an accident and been accepted again.”

“That’s right. That’s why I’m asking.”

Feeling her gaze beside her, Hernán took his eyes off the ceiling.
His black eyes, which came down to the ground, contained Karine’s anxious eyes.

“Hernan loves Shafikara? No matter how great the woman is at fault?”

* * *

The light of the sunset was quickly fading in the garden.
Hernan and Karine stayed in the garden even though the air in the garden, which had been entirely red, was dyed with a bluish light.

“Really?”

Hernan breathed in the cool garden air and let out a hot breath.

“Shafikara touched the likability magic?”

She said, “They said they manipulated it so that they would not like me. Furthermore…”

“You also fed Potty chocolate to get him into heat in the first place?”

“That’s right! He hinted at me like that.”

It is an allusion to Karine, who is slow-witted and lacks political sense, to be so confident.
For others to hear, it must have been almost an open word.

Then, did the demon king really do those things?

“But why am I telling you that? Carine, if I tell you, of course I will know too.”

“I don’t know either. But what she said is true!”

Karine stroked her neck as if it was frustrating.

“And the brainwashing magic on El’s head. You said that it could have been hung by a demon god? In fact, isn’t the devil conspiring with the devil and shaking us from the beginning until now?”

There was always a possibility.

Before coming here and after coming here.
It was as if everything was arranged for the demon’s plan to turn 6 into 25 people.

The horse that the demon god can handle most freely in that game is the demon king.
Even if a child judges, there is no choice but to be suspicious of the demon king.

“Again… I’ll ask you, El.”

Carine interrupted Hernan’s thoughts with a trembling voice.

“Do you love the demon king enough to forgive him even if it’s true that he did these things?”

Hernan covered her mouth and chin with her hand.
Assuming the posture of someone he didn’t want to talk to, he spoke.

“What if the answer is ‘no’?”

“After getting out of here, let’s not go to the land of demons and run away to the human kingdom. If you go under the Demon God, you will end up only becoming a test subject for the Demon King and the Demon God.”

“Even if we go to the human realm, it’s hard for us to survive gracefully. We’ve already spilled blood with one of the human gods. I was caught making a child with a demon.”

After he finished speaking, Hernán’s gaze reached Karine, who clenched his fists.

“L.”

Carine put her fist on her own bulging stomach and took a deep breath.

“Do you remember what the war god wolf said?”

“What words?”

“To do what I have to do.”

Hernán felt a chill grow in his chest.
He said hastily as he looked at Carine’s face, now entering the shadows of the night.

“To do what a warrior should do? Do you know what that means?”

“To kill the demon king…”

The hero couldn’t finish the word of killing the demon king.
She tried hard to say it back.

“They said they would forgive everyone, including the children, if the demon lord was resolved.”

“Is that god’s promise more reliable than the devil’s promise?”

My heart was beating like crazy.
Even though his chest was cold, hot blood seemed to run up his neck and up to his head.

“It’s hard to believe in a wolf god, but there’s no guarantee that the other 23 human gods will leave us alone.”

“Then? Are you going to live forever in the land of demons with an unforgivable demon king? Are you going to live while being swayed by a dreamer you don’t even love!”

The breaths of the two men and women sitting next to each other were scattered into the air.
After a while, Hernan, who caught his breath first, spoke first.

“Let’s go back to the previous question.”

Karine, who understood her words, calmed her breath before bringing up her question again.

“So do you love the demon king enough to forgive him even if it’s true that he did these things?”

“What if the answer is ‘yes’?”

No heat came out of her mouth this time.
Karine answered with tears in her eyes.

“Keep loving me.”

Do you keep loving me

It’s the most inappropriate answer, but it suits many situations.

Hernan tried to interpret her words with her heated head.
But fortunately Karine brought out her interpretation first.

“Have you already done that to me? What the hell am I going to say to L that I will do that again?”

Carine she never thought she would ever be forgiven again.
She has already been forgiven by her lover and won her affection.

Is that why she can’t tell others not to do that?

“What else do I have to say besides asking you to love me that way too…”

She wept as she held Hernán’s baby in her stomach.
Soon after, Carine leaned against Hernán as if she were about to fall.
Hernan was such a lover and hugged her wife.

He felt his heart, which had been cold, now suffocate.

“Carine.”

“Yes, El.”

“Let’s make a decision after you and the demon king give birth.”

Sharpie’s physical condition was not very good when she was pregnant from the beginning, and Carine vomited a lot and had a fever during this pregnancy.

It’s better to postpone things that could be burdensome until after childbirth.

“Until then, focus on childbirth. Don’t keep focusing on things that can’t be solved.”

“Huh.”

“Even after you give birth, there is quite a bit of time until the Potty birth, so there is a lot of time to think about a normal body before escaping. Did you understand me?”

Consoling Karine, who nodded in his arms, Hernan thought that he should stay in the garden longer.
It felt like it would calm myself and Carine alike if I stayed like this until I was told to come over for dinner.

-Bang

And at that moment, the garden door burst open.

“Dad!”

Hearing Ella’s voice, Ernan raised his head in surprise that time had already passed.

“I’m going to eat now. Ella, would you like to go down first and eat?”

No word came back from Ella, who would normally respond promptly.
Instead, the child ran to the center of the garden with quick footsteps.

“Brother!”

Gasping for her breath, Ella spat out the word her sister.

As both Hernán and Carine looked at her Ella with her puzzled eyes, Ella stroked her chest with her tail and controlled her breathing.

“You can speak slowly.”

“Okay. If her brother spilled food again, you can go downstairs and clean it up.”

Ella shook her head vigorously and then opened her mouth.

“Brother and me!”

Hernán hurriedly got up.

“Sharpie already?”

It’s a bit early.
But sometimes there are kids who come out this fast…

“No! It’s not her mother giving birth!”

The moment I understood those words, cold goose bumps ran down my back.

“Forty mom gave birth to a younger brother!”

Potty just turned 7 months pregnant.
She did and she was pregnant with quadruplets.

Hernán kicked off the ground and sprang out.

* * *

Even after Hernan and Ella rushed down, the hero remained in the garden.
There was also a realistic problem that it was difficult to follow right away because the ship was heavy, but there were other reasons for her remaining here.

“Continue… Please continue to love me.”

The hero continued to shed tears when Ernan and Ella left.

“And forgive me in the future.”

Trembling with a premonition of not being forgiven, the hero stayed in the garden.

And he prayed that Hernán would not forgive the demon king.
She begged not to love.

Of course, empty means that the opposite is more likely to happen.

Perhaps Hernan will love the Demon King.
Just like she did to other women and to herself.

“Something like a warrior… I shouldn’t have done that.”

Karine, the brave, regretted it and let a tear fall on her hand.
