## Chapter 1590 – Chronicles of the Sword Emperor – Heavenly Demon’s Rampage (Ari)

The scent of sweet blossoms.
A beautiful garden.

In the very heart of it, Ari, adorned with vines and leaves, was cultivating and studying various plants.

“Ari!”

Seeing Ari filled me with extreme joy. Even though I see her every day, I felt overwhelmingly happy.

“Father?”

Upon seeing me, Ari approached with quick, light steps, maintaining her usual expressionless face. Ari’s unique, blank expression is incredibly cute. Her slightly emotionless demeanor is also part of her charm.

Overwhelmed with joy, I rushed to embrace Ari tightly.

“Ari! I missed you so much! I’m so glad to see you!”
“Huh? Didn’t we see each other yesterday?”
“I just want to see you every day. I’m always so happy to see you, Ari.”

It really felt like it had been ages… I immediately reached out and began to gently knead Ari’s small face.

“Ugh, ughh… Fatherrr…”
“Yeah. I’m listening.”

ㅡSquish, squish.

I continued to massage her face and stroke her hair. I kneaded her face, pulled at her cheeks, and fiddled with her ears. I was so happy to see her that I couldn’t let go.

“My face isn’t a chest, you know… It won’t be fun even if you massage it like that.”

Because I kept massaging her face, Ari’s words trailed off. And she said that with a blank expression.

“What are you talking about? Anyone would think I’m massaging chests for fun.”
“Isn’t it the truth?”
“It’s an expression of affection. Affection.”
“Thennn. Show affection to my chest instead of my face.”
“You little temptress!”

ㅡSpin!

I immediately grabbed Ari by the shoulders, turned her around, and then roughly hugged her while squeezing her breasts!

“Ah… Father. I think breast milk is going to come out.”
“It’s a bit much to burst it out here. Let’s hold back for now.”
“Yes.”

After giving her a one-sided skinship session for a while, I released Ari.

“Haa, anyway. Ari.”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry. For not paying enough attention to you.”

Whenever I see Ari, I can’t help but feel sorry for not paying enough attention to her. Because she lacks sociability and lives quietly, I should be taking better care of her.

“Huh? Ah, I’m fine. You’re paying enough attention to me as it is.”

Ari tilted her head, looking puzzled as she said that… The problem was that Ari didn’t feel any particular issue with being so indifferent and quiet.

In fact, I had worked hard to teach her sociability since long ago, but she had only improved a little, not significantly.

That was very sad.

“Are you worried about my sociability again…? I’m fine, though.”

Ari stroked my face with both hands, as if trying to reassure me.

“As I said, as long as Father takes care of me like this, everything else is fine. I’m quiet because I don’t have anything to say. I don’t think conversation is that important.”

She really is like a plant.

“Still.”
“Aren’t we family anyway? Isn’t that the most important thing? I’m satisfied just being in the same space.”

Truly a plant-like child.

“Hmm.”

Still, I think it’s better if we all get along well together. But is this something I can’t help because Ari’s personality is fundamentally like this?

It feels like she’s isolating herself.

“It hurts my heart that Father is worried, though. At the same time, I’m happy that you’re thinking of me.”
“Ari.”
“Should I try to open my mouth a little more actively from today?”
“No. That seems a bit forced. Unless Ari feels the need herself, it’s not very meaningful.”
“I do feel it.”
“You’re only feeling it because I’m worried, right?”
“Hmm… Yes. You’re right.”

Ari readily admitted it.

I already know Ari’s way of acting. Ari seems to have faint desires, but in reality, she’s just not interested in anything other than me. This is real. Ari doesn’t even care about anything other than me.

That’s why she can’t interact closely with the other wives.

But.

What if she had a child? If she spent months carrying a child and bonding with it… Wouldn’t Ari’s indifferent and quiet personality change a bit?

“Ari.”
“Yes, Father.”
“What do you think it would be like if you had a child?”
“A child, you say.”

At those words, Ari rarely covered her mouth with her hand and smiled softly.

“Hehe, it doesn’t really resonate with me. I’ve shed the Alraune race and have a body that can normally conceive, but… you know? It’s hard to explain, but you know the feeling.”
“Yeah. There’s something like that.”

It doesn’t resonate with her.

But if she experiences it, her thoughts will definitely change.

“Anyway, it’s Ari’s turn to get pregnant now.”
“Yes. I’ll gladly get pregnant. Should I prepare and go up today?”
“Yeah.”

Let’s let Ari know the joy of carrying a child today. With her interest in her own child as a starting point, she might become interested in other things as well.

“I was wondering if Ari’s personality might change a bit if she had a child.”
“Hmm… Still, my personality is probably innate… Of course, I’d be happy if it turned out as Father thinks.”

She’s skeptical herself, but anyway, she says she wants it because I want it.

“I’ll try.”
“…Yeah. Let’s try.”

Still, Ari used to be proactive. When I was wavering about Ari’s problem, she acted very proactively.

But after being recognized as my woman, she feels a bit quieter again.

“But I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“If I have a child, what should I call you?”
“Call me?”
“It would be a bit strange to call you Father together with the child.”
“No. That’s true.”

Thinking about it, it’s really strange.

I’ve been so used to it that I haven’t been thinking about it.

“But Ari? You know how to worry about things like that?”
“Yes. I also know as a matter of common sense that the title of Father is a bit strange.”
“You know it as a matter of common sense.”
“But if I suddenly change the title, that would be even stranger.”
“That… let’s think about it when the child is born.”
“Yes, Father.”

Ari answered in a soft tone like a well-behaved daughter and bowed her head politely.

Then let’s wait until Ari comes up.

* * *

I was lying in bed thinking about Ari.

ㅡKnock, knock.

Ari came in.

“Father. I’m here.”
“Oh. Ari… Hmm?”

Ari’s appearance as she entered was.

More glamorous than usual. You could say that her makeup and adornment were a bit more detailed, but since she was already so beautiful, she didn’t need any makeup at all, but what was Ari like now.

Her clothes were also sexily dressed. The atmosphere was well-prepared. A red off-shoulder mini dress and high heels? She was too well-dressed.

“Ari? You knew how to choose clothes like that?”
“No.”

Ari shook her head.

“The others took care of it for me.”
“Ah.”

Still, family is family after all. Since it’s the day Ari is going to get pregnant, they must have caught her and dressed her up with care.

“I was a bit awkward… but everyone smiled and dressed me up.”
“Did you thank them?”
“Yes. I know how to do that much, of course.”

In fact, when you think about it, we’ve fought together, so it’s not a completely awkward situation.

“Anyway, our Ari is pretty. Then come here.”
“Yes.”

Ari, who had walked over quietly, sat next to me.

“How do you feel?”
“Happy. Because I can receive Father’s love.”
“Any other thoughts?”
“Umm…”

Ari put her finger on her lips and pondered.

“I’m sorry to Father… but I still don’t have any other thoughts. I’m already fulfilling all my desires by Father’s side. There’s no reason for me to need anything else.”

As expected.

“I’m just satisfied if I can be loved by Father and do the work that Father tells me to do. In fact, I don’t mind if you treat me like a potted plant.”
“A potted plant is a heartbreaking thing to say! Don’t say such things!”

It hurts my heart because it sounds like she’s blaming herself!

“Hehehe, I’m just kidding.”
“That’s a heartbreaking joke, really. Haa.”
“Um, but Father. Now that I think about it, yes.”
“Um?”
“I think there was something I was recently disappointed about.”
“Something you were disappointed about!”

Ari, who had faint desires for things other than me, was disappointed!

I must know that!

“What were you disappointed about!”

I immediately grabbed her shoulders and asked.

“Breast milk.”

Ari answered with a blank expression.

“What?”
“I’m talking about my milk.”

Milk?

Why milk?

“In fact, sweet milk was my specialty… but now it’s all basic knowledge. My own specialty has disappeared.”
“…”

Thinking about it, she was right.

Since all my women have ascended to demigod-Valkyries, making bodily fluids sweet is nothing at all. Sweet breast milk is basic, and even vaginal fluids are like sweet syrup. In the old days, Ari’s breast milk was especially sweet, so it was really good, but now that level is basic.

Specifically, the sweetness like the milk left over after eating corn flakes… It’s all been standardized upwards.

That seems to be what she was disappointed about.

“That’s true.”

Then how should I solve this for her?

“So, Father.”

As I was thinking, Ari leaned her body against me.

“Yeah. Tell me.”
“Today is such a happy day because Father is making me pregnant…”

Because it’s a happy day.

“Today, while reminiscing about our memories…”

Somehow a sticky voice.

“Let’s do a breast milk play.”
“…!”

ㅡSwish.

Ari who came closer.

“In other words.”

She whispered in my ear.

“A specialty play?”
