Chapter 50 – Chapter 49 – Wish Carefully (1)

The potty room was filled with faint moaning and heat.
The pregnant woman was sitting in her chair with a tired face and giving Hernan advice.

“You just need to grease her hand and put it between her vaginal opening and the child’s head.”

Hernán nervously opened an oil bottle, looking at the baby’s head, who hadn’t thought of coming out for an hour.

The sharpie’s lubricant, which was originally meant to help get into the vagina, has now become a tool for getting the baby out.

“Huh!”

As Hernán’s fingers forced her vaginal opening to make room for the child’s head to escape, Potty trembled her body.

She was ready to scream, but her energy had been exhausted hours before and she couldn’t make a sound.

However, when Hernán pulled the baby’s head out with more force, a short scream escaped from Potty’s mouth.

“Ugh!”

Once the jam was resolved, the baby began to be pushed out at once.
Looking at the baby’s wet rabbit ears, Hernan was able to smile slightly despite her tiredness and tension.

Shortly thereafter, Hernán held his second child, his first son, in his arms.
After cutting the umbilical cord with her dagger and washing her child in hot water, the saintess hurriedly approached and checked Potty’s condition.

Hernandou approached Poti with her child wrapped in a towel.

She was almost passed out.
Marina says she still has to push out her placenta, and she pats Potty on the cheek.

“Forties! Don’t lose consciousness yet!”

“L… Hernan…”

Shapi was also close to difficult delivery, but Potty was almost like a person halfway between the underworld and this world.

Hernán whispered as he held her hand, which had become a super-corpse.

“It’s your son.”

“Son…”

Potty turned her tear-stained face to look at Hernán’s arms.
There, a boy with twitching bunny ears resembling Potty was weeping uncontrollably.

She laughed softly and fainted just like that.

“Forties!”

Hernán approached in surprise, but the saintess stopped him.

“The placenta came out right away. It is better to let it rest now.”

“I fainted right now, is there anything wrong?”

“There are no apparent problems. It’s just that the birth itself was hard work for Potty, so I’m going to do this.”

Potty had a relatively small body with a weak constitution from the first time I met him.
And since he has an unstable body due to various experiments, it is highly likely that work that puts a lot of strain on his body, such as childbirth, puts a heavy burden on his body.

Hernan soothed the crying child and decided to reconsider the fact that Potty had asked him to impregnate the child as soon as it was born.

No matter how you look at it, it seemed difficult for her to give birth to multiple children in one birth.
No matter how well the other womb is, it needs enough rest as long as the rest of the body is overworked.

Hernán, stroking her face, passed out with her pale face, and Hernán placed her child in her arms.

Potty unconsciously groaned as she hugged the baby tightly.
When the saintess heard that groan, she glanced at Hernan and opened her mouth.

“Hernan. Shouldn’t we get Potty’s wish ticket from outside?”

“Ah…”

Hernán sighed sadly as he looked at the hat with the long rabbit ears attached to it.

He shifted his steps and tried to make his way to the door.
However, the door was gently opened before Hernán arrived.

When both the saintess and Hernán looked around, Sharpie came in holding her baby.

“Sharpie? Weren’t you sleeping?”

“My daughter woke up and came out to the living room to ask for food!”

She smiled and crept closer to Potty.
Checking on Potty and her child, she smiled broadly.

“Is the child wearing rabbit ears because he looks like his mother?”

“Okay. It’s just like my daughter came out with a tail.”

Hernan responded to Sharpie’s words and watched her wipe Potty’s sweat.
Sharpie grinned and muttered that she had suffered.

It was a good look.
Another woman taking care of a woman who suffered…

When adventuring before coming here, in fact, even if someone got hurt, he only took care of himself and the saintess diligently, while others just showed minimal interest.

That was the result of Karine’s view of the people here as business partners rather than personal colleagues.
Since the leader of the party maintained that attitude, other people naturally showed the same attitude.

If someone like Sharpie had been the leader, would the warrior party have had a completely different relationship?

“Next, elves who can’t live without meat give birth, right?”

Hernán came to his senses when he heard the demon king asking brightly.
She waited for Hernán’s reply, telling her saintess that she worked hard every time.

Hernan nodded her head and said.

“Okay. Maybe in a month or so.”

“It’s going to be really noisy!”

After Silnia gives birth, it’s Marina’s turn.
It must be crazy to see four children increase at once in a month interval.

But Hernán thought she wasn’t bad, and she questioned Shafi.

“Did you just come in to watch? It’s late, so why don’t we go to sleep? I’m going to sleep after cleaning up anyway.”

Sharpie smiled strangely and pulled something out from between her breasts.
It was a realm of wish, warmed by body heat.

Hernan noticed why her sharpie had come all the way to her and met her eyes.
The demon king waggled his tail and took a step back from the bed.

“Are you going to use it as soon as Forty recovers?”

“I guess so. Because I have already decided what to use it for.”

Hernán felt her heart grow heavy and at the same time she grew cold.
Sharpie understood and stroked Hernán’s cheek with her tail, then she slowly walked outside.

“Good night, Ernan.”

Hernán followed her eyes to the back of Sharpie, who called her El only when the two of them were alone, and saw her wish.

The wish ticket had Potty’s name written on it, along with Sharpie and something else.

“Is that Potty’s wish ticket?”

Just as I was about to take a closer look, Marina approached.
She watched it carefully, and she looked here and there.

Hernán felt a little embarrassed because she hadn’t shown her this much interest the last time.

“Do you have any wishes? You are suddenly interested in this.”

“It’s not that I have a wish, I’m interested in this wish right itself.”

The saintess checked Potty’s face from time to time, examining the realm of her wish.
Hernan handed her the ticket of her wish and waited for her to explain in detail.

As expected, she held her wish ticket still and examined it before opening her mouth.

“I don’t feel any particularly evil energy.”

“An evil spirit?”

“The energy of the ancient gods.”

Hernán made a puzzled face.

“Ancient god… Oh, are you referring to the old evil spirits?”

Existences that roamed the world prior to the arrival of the present gods of mankind.
Since they were evil spirits that oppressed the creatures, they were all exterminated.

Except for drinking.

The saintess continued her explanation, asking Hernán to change Poti’s bedspread.

“Yes. Except for the gods who only use magical powers like demons, all the ancient gods have left their own energy in their deeds. It would be nice to call it a kind of divine power.”

There were rumors that sometimes objects containing the energy of the old gods were found in the ruins.
Most of those things were collected and destroyed by each church, so Hernan hadn’t actually seen them either.

The saintess said as Hernán lifted Potty and the child who had passed out, laying out a new blanket.

“To be honest, when I made my first wish, I felt a little bit of the energy of the old gods along with the divine power. As well as when the light to erase the magic from Hernan’s head flies.”

The saintess added that the light itself was similar to unrefined holy power.

Hernan was puzzled as he put the wizard on the bed.

“Isn’t a demon god an existence that doesn’t use divine power? Sharpie knew that too.”

“Me too. I know that demons are unique among the old gods, so they can’t use divine power.”

Hernan focused on the expression that he could not write.

“You’re a god, but you can’t use your divine power? Are you not writing?”

“I don’t know everything about the gods either…”

The saintess smiled shyly as she applied her herb to Potty’s genitals.

“However, in the scriptures I saw, it was said that demons could not use their divine powers according to the promises of the gods.”

Hernan nodded and closed his mouth as he changed Potty’s clothes.
It was an interesting story, but the 40s are more important now.

And even if you get to know about theological issues right away, it won’t affect your life right now.

For Hernan, it didn’t matter whether the demon god used divine power or magical power.
All we need to do is to guarantee a safe life for the party while they are here, and to send them out safely.

The saintess must have sensed that Hernán wanted to pay attention to the woman who had just given birth, so she placed her wish ticket on Potty’s bedside again.

It was a busy time for her as she now has to take care of her birth.

* * *

The warrior opened his eyes.
I don’t even know if it’s morning or night.

“L… ?”

In a subdued voice she called her lover.
The answer was, of course, no.
Karine felt that she was sick to her stomach at the fact that she had been repeating it for days.

“L!”

She tried to get her body up.
But she soon felt a sharp pain in her left arm and rolled back onto her bed.

“Keugh…”

The arm that had been beaten by the demon god was her left arm.
Unfortunate for her being left-handed.

In addition, something resembling an instrument used to restrain her criminals was worn around her neck and arms.
Even if she applied strength to her perfectly fine right arm, her left arm was strained, so she couldn’t even use her strength, her strong point.

“Why am I…”

Her eyes go blurry.

She tried to hold back her tears, but with each passing day it became more and more difficult for her to hold back her tears.

Karine still couldn’t believe that her lover had placed upon herself such a humiliating and painful restraint.

“Ugh!”

She did try to move her leg though her pain lessened a lot.
But even her legs were tightly bound to the bed and furniture, and she couldn’t move.

Miserable look.
Even in the kingdom’s dungeons, there was no case where prisoners were tied up like this.

But what made her most miserable was the absence of her lover.

“L!”

Karine roared her futile cries again.
She felt a sense of dread as her own ears were deafened.

Could it be that Hernan is thinking of leaving himself like this?

The face of Hernan I saw on the day everything turned upside down.
Carine shuddered at the thought of him, whose expression resembled her own father’s.

Her cold expression, devoid of her affection, was something she hadn’t seen in him since her first meeting with Hernán.

It’s so scary.
Could Hernán’s heart have cooled down?
Or was she just trying to warn her that her own behavior was so violent?

Hernan said that at the end of the day, he would seal Karine’s power given to him by the royal family.
But I can’t believe it.

He must know what that means.
The only advantage you have over other contenders for the throne…

“Is it really just a warning?”

Okay. Swinging the table was a bit extreme.
At last, the pregnant woman and the baby were injured, and the departure date was almost delayed.

Hernan must have been so angry thinking about that.
Doesn’t he always think of me first?

Karine made up her mind that she should keep quiet for the time being.

Hernán said that he would always guide him in the right direction by harshly scolding him if he went beyond his limits.
Especially after receiving the ability enlightenment ceremony, such cases became frequent…

I’m probably in a similar situation right now, so I’ll have to listen to him and look for another opportunity in a gentle way.

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t leave the Demon King alone…

“Carine.”

As her door opened, she heard the voice she had most longed for.

“L!”

“You shouldn’t have told me not to call you that?”

Karine instantly tasted the feeling of being hit by her icy water.
It’s as if she’s been slapped, and she’s suddenly pulled from her own thoughts into reality.

Carine gritted her teeth at the sensation and ignored Hernán’s words.

“I’ll be quiet, so can’t I release this?”

“I will release you soon.”

“Me, really?”

Karine saw Hernan approaching with a happy face.
After all, such a harsh confinement was short-lived.

Soon he’ll get so mad he’ll say he’s sorry.
Then he’d have to say that he would be careful too.

Carine pushes away the anxiety that rises from deep inside her, as she struggles to feel her joy.

In the meantime, Hernán untied her legs and lifted her up.

“Oh! You pulled too hard!”

However, the touch did not have the kindness she was accustomed to.
It was a clean, emotionless action, like when dealing with enemies during the journey.

Karine felt the anxiety welling up in her chest spread through her whole body.

Tension tingling in her hands and toes.
She asked Hernán, thinking that her legs were shaking for some unknown reason.

“When are you going to release this stuffed around my neck?”

“I’ll finish my work in the living room and unwind.”

Hernán said so and led Carine out of her door.
When I went out into the living room, I saw that all the women had gathered.

Carine felt a bit familiar.
But she didn’t quite know what it felt like, she thought.
Instead of focusing on the mysterious feeling of déjà vu, she looked at the other women’s faces.

Marina was trying not to make eye contact with her, and Silnia glared at Karine with a slightly ill-tempered complexion.

Seeing the saintess’ actions, a deeper fear bloomed.
And in her elf’s actions, she felt her anger at having dared to look at her that way.

But what made her more speculative was when she saw Sharpie and Potty.

Potty was holding a new child in her arms.
She was smiling even though she had a haggard face, perhaps because she had gone through difficult labor.

At that ridicule, Karine couldn’t help the rage that rose up in an instant and tried to yell at her.
But the moment her eyes met with the sharpie next to her, her mouth closed.

The Demon King was looking at himself with pitiful eyes.

Only then did the warrior realize the familiarity he felt.

“Take out the wish ticket, Potty.”

Execution Ground.
Carine didn’t even feel the goosebumps all over her body and tried to look at Hernán.

His face was not visible as he was holding his shoulders behind him, but the atmosphere he exuded was cold.

While she was meaningless, Potty took out her wish ticket.
Her small, soft hands began to slowly fill the wish-volume.

“I wrote everything down.”

As Potty spoke in a voice permeated with satisfaction, Hernán’s voice came from Carine’s back.

“Hand it over to Sharpie.”

Potty stared at the hero and passed her wish ticket to Sharpie.
The Demon King looked at Potty’s wish ticket and opened his mouth.

“Forti’s wish to seal the hero’s power, I’ll grant it. Please, with this, Karine can do it properly…”

“For a moment!”

Carine finally gave her shout.
Hernán hurriedly pressed the hero’s shoulder.

Carine endured the pain rising from her leg and withstood the force of Hernán’s pressure.

“Ji, are you really going to seal my power now? Right now, Elle, you are being tricked by other women!”

She strained her injured arm, ignoring her pang.
Then the contraption made of her wood and clothes made a rupture and was about to break.

The women were frightened by the intuition that something terrible was about to happen again.

Hernán clicked her tongue and struck the warrior on the back of the knee.

“100 million!”

Karine lost her balance in one fell swoop in front of her.
When the thing that once gave her strength was released, she felt more pain than she could have imagined.

“Ahh… It hurts.”

Although the restraints on her neck and arms were broken, she moaned in pain and could not get up.

Then, Sharpie’s feet came in front of her.
Her foot stood in front of her for a moment and then disappeared.

The hero immediately sensed the energy he had already experienced once.

The same black hole as last time opened in the air.
When Karine realizes that her lover is really granting her wish, she curses.

“Eh, El! Is that a lie? Please don’t do that because I was wrong!”

“Karine. Apologies too late and in the wrong direction.”

When Karine forced her body to look at Hernán, he pointed at the women in front of her.
The hero shouted without looking at them.

“Please! You know how miserably I got this. You went to the king and prostrated yourself servilely to get it!”

Hernan sighed and put his hands together.
In her hand was a prayer written with a wish, no, a wish book.

Karine shouted in a fit of fuss.

“Waste ticket wasted! My power is the awakening of the bloodline power containing the blessings of the war god, so I can’t touch anything I drank!”

Hernan lowered her eyes to Karine for a moment.
She said desperately.

“Drinkers only use mana! And you know that divine power is effective in erasing mana, right?”

It meant that even if the Demon God did something using magic to grant his wish, he could not do anything with his own power based on divine power.

Karine thought that after persuading her rationally, let’s talk slowly.
She swears that she will be careful because her lover seems to be more upset than she thinks herself.

But she, too, was aware of her inner thoughts.
A lover knows that she is out of her mind rather than mad at herself.

I just can’t admit it.

Hernan shook his head.

“You probably didn’t know because you weren’t in a hurry, but the demon god probably used divine power last time.”

Karine made a face of incomprehension.
However, Hernán did not kindly explain and made a wish.

As the wish sphere burned, a black hole shimmered.
Everyone looked at the hole in silence.

However, there was no response even after quite a while.
The hero wondered if his wish would be denied.

“Ah, it must be a wish beyond the power of a demon god. El, stop…”

Before she could finish her words, the wish fulfillment had begun.

The pillars of light, slightly more hazy than in Hernan, tumbled and poured over the hero.
Strictly speaking, rather than a pillar, it was something with a flimsy feeling similar to the tentacles I saw last time.

It scanned Karine’s body in fear as if examining it here and there.
Then, suddenly, the light began to seep into the vicinity of her heart.

“Oops!”

The warrior felt something gripping her heart in her chest.
Her whole body shuddered and her body, which had been twisted to see Hernán and her hole in the air, returned to normal.

Seeing the floor, she spat out what was rising in her stomach with unbearable nausea.

“Ooh! Whoa!”

A perplexed atmosphere spread between the party in the living room.

Every time the force nestled in her chest squeezed her heart, she poured blood from her mouth.

Carine continued to vomit, seeing the blood pooling under her.
The pool of her blood that formed beneath her flashed and glowed on its own.
