Chapter 45 – Chapter 44 – First Child (3)

Hernan rushed out of Potty’s lab.
In his hand was a large wooden gourd from the bathroom, which contained water heated by a heater.

He passed through the hallway and reached the living room.
There was a group of women who had woken up in the middle of the night and looked tired.

Hernán gave them a simple glance and hurriedly entered Sharpie’s room.
There, the saintess was holding a towel over the sharpie’s mouth.

“Saintess!”

Marina turned to Hernán’s call and stood in front of the water he had brought.
She rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands, calling out the name of her goddess.

Hernan opened his mouth feeling impatient.

“Is there anything else I need to do?”

“Not yet. And I hope there will be no more in the future. Oh, and Hernan.”

Hernán hurriedly met his gaze at the saintess, wondering if he needed something.
She blushed her face with her shyness.

“Please refrain from sexual activity with pregnant women who are about to give birth. Especially for me and other women…”

Her face blushed like her saintess, and Hernán hurriedly removed the towel that had fallen on her floor.
The towel was covered with amniotic fluid and semen from the sharpie.

While Hernán was tidying up her messy room, the saintess spread her pre-made herbal powder and demon medicine beside her bed.
She checked her herbal list and sighed lightly.

“I wish I could use magic or holy power, but unfortunately it’s impossible.”

After Sharpie’s pain started, the Demon God didn’t give him anything other than a very simple medicine for demons.

It was said that it was inevitable that the divine power was originally a god who was far from divine power, but not giving magical power was savage.

At the very least, if she could use painkilling magic, the Sharpie would be able to give birth to a baby with ease.

Hernan thought that if she had the right to wish, she might consider receiving magic power or a tool to assist in childbirth later on.

As he was anxiously walking around her room with such thoughts, the saintess called him.

“Hernan. Would you like to come here for a second?”

“Are there any problems?”

Hernán hurriedly stood in front of her saintess.
Marina looked at the impatient attitude of her soon-to-be father, she said earnestly.

“As you know, mixed-race babies are born for the first time, so don’t be surprised if anything happens.”

She lowered her voice.

“It doesn’t matter if any accidents happen on the way out. Whether the baby has horns that tear the mother’s body apart, or the child born is a bizarre mixture…”

“Stop, saintess…”

Hernán swallowed her saliva, thinking that it was all a scary story.
However, the saintess continued her words as if she wanted to prepare Hernán for her contingency.

“Or, the demon king, whose physical condition has subtly deteriorated, may suffer an accident during childbirth. Please prepare your mind firmly.”

When Hernán couldn’t answer easily, the saintess forced a smile.

“Hernan is the only man and father here. If Hernan is in despair and can’t do anything, this is…”

Marina stroked her own belly instead of finishing her words.
Hernan took a deep breath as he looked at another woman he had impregnated.

When he opened his mouth heavily, there came a question that was not meant to be reassuring.

“Lady. Are you over 7 months pregnant?”

“That’s right.”

As if the saintess understood Hernan’s words, her expression darkened.
Hernán expressed her concern by holding her by the shoulder.

“The saintess is also pregnant. Can you work as a midwife?”

Midwifery is hard labor that lasts for several hours.
It is inappropriate for women who are close to full term.
Before Marina could answer, the Sharpie’s suppressed scream echoed from behind her.

“Ugh!”

The pain, which had stopped for a moment, seemed to have returned.
Her saintess opened her mouth after stroking her belly once more.

“If I say I will do it until the end, will Hernán stop me?”

“Yes. If that happens and the saintess goes wrong, wouldn’t it be hard for her to give birth, which will soon follow her?”

The saintess, hearing Hernán’s calm reply, regained her composure a little.
She said with a reassuring face on her Hernán.

“First of all, I will try as hard as my stamina allows. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll go take a break.”

“Huh!”

After talking to the saintess and Hernán, they hurriedly approached the dreamer who was about to give birth to her first child.

* * *

Marina tried to raise her back with her fly face.
But she stepped on a puddle of amniotic fluid under the bed and she stumbled.

“What?”

The saintess hurriedly swung her arms to try to balance her, but her body was heavy and she couldn’t do it properly.
She also said that she had been working as a midwife for hours, and because of her tiredness, her body itself did not immediately follow her orders.

“Saintess!”

Fortunately for her, Hernán, who had been watching her in advance, grabbed her arm, which was her fiancee, in the air and held her saintess.

Hernán decided to take advantage of Sharpie’s labor pains to subside for a while and take care of her saintess.

“Lady. You’ve already been too busy. How about going to the living room and getting some rest?”

“But I can’t even see the baby’s head yet…”

Marina, her weary face, glanced anxiously at her panting demon lord.
It was a very benevolent attitude, considering that there were some priests who unconditionally hated demons.

But now, rather than praising her character, it was the moment to encourage her to rest.

“Please rest for a while. For now, I’ll be in charge.”

The saintess still hesitated and kept her eyes on the Sharpie who was breathing heavily.
Hernán pushed her toward the door with her rather determined voice.

“Didn’t you promise me? If you run out of stamina, let’s rest.”

When she said that, Marina replied that she knew.
She hurriedly gave Hernán a few things she thought were important, then opened her door and left.

Having sent her saintess to rest, Hernán approached Shafi.
She pulled out Hernanman her man, the towel tucked in her mouth.

The towel had bad teeth marks.

“Sharpie.”

Hernán tried to say something to her, but when he met her eyes, she was speechless.

Instead, Sharpie smiled and took her out.

“Is it better than you think? Every time I go into labor, I feel thrilled.”

“You don’t have to pretend to be energetic. You are already tired.”

“Really! Other dreamers also said that sometimes they reached their peak when giving birth.”

Hernán felt that her mind was disturbed by this conversation.
But at the same time, the sharpie’s lively attitude eased her anxiety that she might be able to do it on her own.

“At least, I’m glad you seem to be able to hold on. She looked like you were not feeling well.”

Sharpie answered, taking a deep breath.

“Did we talk yesterday? If my body is tired because of pregnancy, it will be resolved when the baby leaves. In other words, this body is being treated…”

The demon king gnashed his teeth as he continued to speak.
Eventually, the words were muffled to the point that I could barely hear them at the end.

The pain is creeping in again.

Hernan was nervous and held up the towel.
Sharpie opened her mouth slightly.

“With great pleasure comes great responsibility, right? I wish it were the other way around.”

Hernan asked, thinking about what he meant.

“You wish there was great pleasure in great pain?”

The sharpie gnawed at the towel, her heart eyes twinkling.
Hernán thought that a name for her first child would be something related to her happiness or pleasure, and she took her hand.

* * *

“Aww… Kyaaaaagh!”

The shrieks of the Sharpie missing her towel from her mouth filled her room.
Considering that time had already passed so that morning had already come out outside, the fact that he had the stamina left to scream was itself a miracle.

But Hernán didn’t even have time to think about it, she was focused on the scene in front of her.

The baby was coming out after a long period of labor.
The baby, whose head had already come out, was slowly turning her sideways to cut her vaginal opening.

“Sharpie! She came up to her waist. You just need to exert a little more strength.”

Hernán reached out to her and orient her so that her child would not be pressed against her bed.
Just as the umbilical cord was beginning to show, she heard a door open behind her.

When I looked behind me for a while, the saintess entered with a face that had recovered her physical strength considerably.
Seeing that there was a piece of bread in her mouth, she seemed to have finished her breakfast in a hurry.

“Hernan! Forgive me for being late.”

“No. Could you come over and check the situation?”

The saintess praised Hernán for doing a great job on her own, and she hurriedly saw how much the baby came out.

When she was done checking, she instructed Hernán to help her sharpie by pulling her baby gently, and Hernán gently tugged her own child.

“Huh!”

Soon her child slipped out of the Sharpie’s boat.
The sharpie lifted her waist, shaking her body, then she lowered her.

Hernán cut the umbilical cord of her child using her dagger that her saintess had received from Carine and checked its condition.

The child lingered a little, then burst into her weeping.

Next to her, I heard the saintess sighing and the Sharpie asking in a hoarse voice.

“Hernan… How is the baby?”

Hernán wrapped her baby in her towel and moved to Sharpie’s side.
It was noisy because the child was still crying, but it was a sound that felt more relieved than any other sound to Hernán.

Sharpie looked at her child wrapped in her towel with her unfocused eyes.

“How is it… ? Are you fine?”

It was a slightly uneasy voice, unlike hers.
It seems that the demon king was also worried about whether the child of half-man-horse race would be fine.

Hernan let out a long sigh and replied.

“You’re right about what you said before you went into labor.”

Sharpie didn’t answer because she had no energy, and she focused only on Hernán’s mouth.
Her father smiled and took the towel-wrapped child into his mother’s arms.

The baby was fine.
No corner anywhere.

“It’s my daughter. She has no horns, but she has a tail.”

The child in her mother’s arms peeked out her tail through a gap in the towel.
Sharpie smiled through her happy eyes.

[Current number of people: 7 (3)]

The contents of her Life Guide on her lap, Sharpie, began to be updated.
All the people gathered in the room of the Demon King, who had difficulty moving, were highly focused on it.

Karine, in particular, deliberately tried not to see her baby.

Only the whining of the baby and the sound of the sharpie soothing the baby broke the silence.
Hernán was bitter about not being able to celebrate his birth first.

[4. Rank within the facility]

[1] Differential rights are granted according to pregnancy and childbirth.

2) The number of members of the royal class is 1, and the target is Hernan.]

This was something everyone already knew.

[3] Women earn 100 points for each pregnancy and 400 points for each child born.
At this time, pregnancy is counted as one even if you conceive twins, but if you are pregnant again after the pregnancy has already been confirmed, it is recognized as twice.]

The demon king, who had already given birth, and the wizard, who could conceive the most here, shone.
In comparison, the saintess and the elves seemed uninterested.

[4) In the case of reaching the same score, the woman who reached the score first goes up.

5) The ranks divided by combining pregnancy and childbirth scores are as follows.]

The hero carefully watched the newly emerging item, tearing at the wound on his hand.

[1st Place: Queen

2nd and 3rd place: Concubine

4th and 5th: mistress]

“It’s unpleasant…”

There was silence as the words of the king’s unofficial lover, the mighty illegitimate son of the government, were heard.
Hernán continued to watch her demon god’s new prank, feeling her chest tighten.

[6] Each class must finally obtain King Hernan’s permission to use the right of wish given to them.

However, those in the rank below the queen must obtain the permission of all the women in the rank higher than themselves to deliver their wishes to Hernán.
Otherwise, the right to wish does not work.]

“Then, the lowest rank can only make a wish if they accept permission from three women and Hernán?”

Sharpie murmured in a hoarse voice, and the atmosphere grew even colder.

But Potty spoke in a slightly excited voice.

“Bah, on the other hand, you only need to discuss the rank of queen with King Hernan. I feel like a queen.”

“In the first place, if the right to wish is used rationally, there is no problem in increasing the number of people who need permission. Rather, it may be stable because there may be fewer unreasonable requests.”

As the baby frowned at the women’s chatter, Hernán put his index finger on her lips to quiet them down.
Even in the midst of this, the phrase continued to come to mind in the guidebook.

[7] If there is a change in rank while not using the right of wish, it must be used according to the changed rank.

8) The superiority of the upper classes is guaranteed by the authority of the demon god.]

“Oh… Does the demon god even guarantee this?”

Sharpie smiled merrily as she stroked her daughter’s cheek, emerging between herself and her Hernán.
In contrast, the words spoken by Hernán’s lover were cold and full of soggy displeasure.

“It’s just a guarantee. If you ignore it in the first place, it means nothing.”

That’s not wrong.

The authority of the upper ranks is limited to the realm of wish, and the demon god guarantees that the upper ranks are superior to the lower ranks.
And since most of the people here are not demons, they do not unconditionally obey the authority of demons.

“And once you get out of here, it’s a meaningless rank. Are you all planning to escape?”

Saint Na Silnia nodded at Carine’s words.
As the hero said, life here is not short, but life outside is longer.
There is no need to be too obsessed with the rules here.

In conclusion, if the personnel here ignore this rule all at once, they can live as they are now.

While Hernan and the women were thinking about each other, Silnia looked at the last phrase that came to her mind and tried to flip through her guide.

“Hey! The current rank table is attached at the back? You mean the appendices are written separately?”

“That’s right.”

Hernán handed over the paper in place of Silnia to check the rank table.

[King: Hernán Terotas

Queen: Shafikara Pagan – 500 points

Concubines: Forti, Silnia – 100 points/100 points

Government: Marina, Carine Paoliates – 100 points/0 points]

“Looking at this, it seems that pregnancies and births before the rules were added are also counted.”

When the saintess saw her table of ranks exposed, her face became trembling.

However, Karine had already recovered her characteristic cold expression and changed the subject.

“Right of wish. Didn’t I say that the right to wish comes out when you give birth?”

“I’ll go out into the living room. It might have come from the food distribution hole.”

Hernan left Carine with the women who had trouble moving and went out into the living room.
Behind him he could hear the Sharpie bragging about his child to the women.

As he went out into the living room, as he expected, a piece of paper fell under the wall.
It had the title Shafikara’s Wish Voucher and an explanation that the woman could write a wish with her own finger.

Now give this to Sharpie and she will write the wish you planned in advance.
A wish to release the magic on Hernan’s head.

Feeling that a headache was creeping up, he headed to the room where his lover and mother were.

The time to find out what kind of woman Carine was was approaching.
And the time to find out what she had to do with herself was also approaching.
