## Chapter 1603 – The Foreigner’s Story – Heavenly Demon Baby

Those days flowed by.

As time passed, my wives’ bellies grew even larger. They were real pregnant women now. Their bellies were bigger than their chests.

Hilde had confidently declared that no matter how big her belly got, it could never be bigger than Winia’s chest, but in the end, even Winia’s belly became bigger than her chest.

What could you do when she was so far along?

Anyway, I was just happy to have more to touch. Touching their bellies was fun. But they were all subtly concerned about their figures, so I made sure to compliment them every time I saw them.

Soon, starting with Winia, they would all give birth in order over the course of about four months.

Not much time left.

“Honey, I’m worried because my breasts have gotten smaller lately.”
“What?!”

Winia’s precious, ample breasts! They had shrunk by about two cup sizes! Other women’s breasts get bigger when they’re pregnant, but for some reason, Winia’s were getting smaller!

“I think our baby is eating all the nutrients in my breasts.”
“Gah! You little brat, how dare you!!!”

—Thwack!

I immediately pointed at Winia’s pregnant belly and scolded it like a thunderbolt!

“How dare you steal from your father when there’s nothing else to take!!! Gah! Gaaaaah! If it’s a daughter, I’ll let it slide, but if it’s a son, I’ll never forgive you!!!”

As I scolded it.

—Thump, thump.

The baby in her belly kicked!

“You, you little punk…!”
“Hehe… Hehehehe! Oh! Honey! The baby says to stop talking nonsense!”
“You’re so dead.”

—Squeeze.

I gently squeezed Winia’s belly, threatening it. Just you wait until you come out. Not only did you make Winia’s breasts smaller, but you even dared to rebel against me.

“You’re so funny, honey. Is that something you say to a baby? Huh?”
“It’s not just any baby, it’s my baby, so of course I have to discipline it. Winia, I don’t plan on raising our kids carelessly. I’m going to raise them properly.”
“Honey, I still don’t really know what you mean by ‘properly.'”
“You’ll see later.”

Anyway.

“Winia, you’ll be giving birth soon, right?”
“Yeah… in about a month.”

Just a month now.

“Can’t you just come out now?”
“W-Well, honey. I mean, I could if I wanted to, but do you really want to?”
“No, I was just saying.”

We have to fill the 10 months.

“Listen here, if you make Winia hurt when you come out, you’re in big trouble.”
“Hehehe. Honey, I’m not going to hurt anyway. Do you think we’d even feel pain from something like that?”
“I guess not.”

I know that the pain of childbirth is supposed to be immense.

But all my women are demigods who have received my power. There’s no way they’d be in pain from childbirth. That’s why I was going to have them give birth to thousands, no, tens of thousands of babies without any pain.

“Winia, I just hope you haven’t been uncomfortable during your pregnancy.”
“Huh?”
“I was going to have you give birth to a new baby every year for five hundred years. Like a never-ending string of sausages.”
“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Winia shouted.

“And what’s with the string of sausages when you’re talking about babies! I told you to watch your language!”

Every time I see her shouting like this, I get the urge for pregnancy sex. Unfortunately, you can’t get pregnant again while you’re already pregnant.

* * *

All my women are pregnant, but that doesn’t mean they’ve stopped working. They all go to work as usual, do their jobs, and then leave on time.

It’s all thanks to them being demigods.

They have transcendent bodies that don’t feel any discomfort while pregnant, except when it comes to nighttime activities.

“I’m still worried, though. Isn’t it hard on you to overwork yourself?”
“Not really? It’s not hard at all?”

Karin, who was wearing maternity clothes instead of her uniform, smiled and answered as if to reassure me.

“Why? Is our husband worried that his sister is having a hard time? Aww, you cute thing. Come on. Do you think we’d be struggling just because we have a baby in our bellies?”
“Hehehe, still. It looks tiring when a pregnant woman is working.”
“Come here.”

As I got closer, Karin kissed me on the cheek. Embarrassingly.

“Don’t worry. It actually gives me more strength. Right? Baby? See, our baby is giving us the power of love.”

Karin stroked her belly as she smiled.

“You’re that happy?”
“Yeah. Well, I probably shouldn’t use vulgar language in front of the baby, but it’s just so damn good. Ah. I’m just so happy.”

A gaze that looks at something infinitely lovely. Karin sent that gaze to the baby in her belly as she stroked it.

—Stroke.

I also stroked Karin’s belly.

“You cute little thing.”

I could clearly feel the presence of the child growing inside. Of course, I could also find out the baby’s gender, but I deliberately didn’t. That’s part of the fun of giving birth.

Anyway, my women are still working.

They have a strong sense of responsibility and don’t take time off work just because they’re pregnant. Today, they’re leading the Heavenly Demon Empire with me, giving it their all.

* * *

But then, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

“We have to take pictures.”

All my women are pregnant. We have to capture this in photos. Group photos, too.

So, I immediately started preparing to take group photos. Strike while the iron is hot, as they say.

“Katt-nim! We’re ready to take pictures!”
“Okay! Hilde, hurry up and come here!”
“Yes!”
“Everyone, get close!”

—Paaat.

We immediately took our places.
The formation for taking a family photo.

“Hehehe, look at this population density. How many people are there? No twins, so nineteen?”
“It’s going to be quite a sight when all the babies are born. Ah, we can take the picture now.”
“Honey, hurry up and press the shutter.”
“Okay.”

—Click.

I used the Heavenly Demon Telekinesis to take the picture.

—Click.
—Click.
—Click.

Several times.
Repeatedly.

I took family photos.

“Okay! Let’s check the photos!”
“Yes!”

Since it was a digital camera anyway, we could check them right away. And sure enough, they turned out great. I wanted to frame them in huge frames and hang them all inside the palace… I guess we’ll have to take more when the babies are born.

“Hehehe, Katt. They turned out well.”
“Right? Heh. I really want to hang these in every hallway.”
“How about hanging them only in important places? I think… it would be a little embarrassing if they were hanging just anywhere.”
“Is that so?”

If you think of them as pregnancy announcement photos, then I guess that’s true.

“Anyway, we’ve taken all the pictures. Let’s eat. What do you want to eat today? I’ll make anything.”

Now that we’d taken the pictures, it was time to eat. I was about to go to the dining hall with them when.

“Ah, Katt. Just a moment.”

Claudia grabbed my shoulder.

“Hmm?”
“Since we’ve already taken out the camera, why don’t we take some more pictures?”
“Pictures?”
“I want to take pictures of you.”

She wanted to take pictures of me?

“Hehehe! I’ll let you take as many as you want! Then.”
“Ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah! Ahhhhh, Katt-niiiiim! Just a moment!”

At that moment, Hilde jumped up and down, drawing our attention.

“What is it? Hilde?”
“Katt-nim, just a moment! It just occurred to me since we’re taking pictures, everyone! Please wait here for a moment!”

—Whoosh!

After saying those words, Hilde created a gate and disappeared into it.

“What’s going on?”

I wondered for a moment what was going on.

“I’m back!”

Hilde soon came out carrying a box.
Without further ado, Hilde immediately opened it.

“This! It’s Katt-nim’s costume! Please wear this since we’re taking pictures.”

She wanted me to wear a costume?

“Ah! That’s a good idea!”
“Hoh, that sounds good.”
“Heh! Hilde always knows what’s up! Hey! We can eat later! Let’s do this first!”

What the heck.

The story was progressing quickly. They were all chattering and taking out the clothes in the box. They were all for men. But, huh?

“Wait a minute. Those clothes.”

There were a lot of strange clothes.

“Hehehe.”

When I pointed that out, these sisters looked at me and smiled ominously.

What…?

* * *

“No! What is this thing!!!”

What I was holding in my hand was none other than three black heart stickers!

“These are just stickers! You want me to stick these on my bare body!”

I shouted.

“Huh? Is there a problem?”
“What problem?”

These sisters didn’t even recognize the problem!

“Didn’t you always tell us to put those stickers on, Katt? So, it’s your turn now. Accept it.”
“That’s right! Katt-nim! You always tell us to put these heart stickers on! Now it’s your turn!”
“Father. I want to see this too.”

This couldn’t be happening…!

“No, that’s. I’m a man. And our wives? Huh? They’re women.”
“What does that have to do with anything? Hurry up and put them on.”
“This…!”

I couldn’t accept it!

“Put them on what! You want me to put these tiny heart stickers on my dick right now? And then take pictures of it?!”

I thought we were just going to take normal pictures, but what was this! These women were planning to make Kim Katt’s lewd photos! No way! These black heart stickers! It was fine when I was putting them on my wives’ nipples and vaginas, but it was a whole different story when I had to put them on myself!

How am I supposed to put these on!

“Honey, so you don’t like it? We’re pregnant and having a hard time, can’t you do even that much for us?”
“No, that’s!”
“Honey… you’ve put those heart stickers on us so many times. Shouldn’t you put them on yourself at least once?”

There was no room for excuses!

“That’s right, Katt-ssi, hurry up. We’ll wear whatever you want us to wear next time, and we’ll let you take pictures too. So hurry up and put them on.”
“Katt-nim, hurry!”
“Someone, please help me!”

I appealed for help.

“Katt, let’s do our best?”
“Hehehe, hurry up and put them on! This lady wants to see it too.”
“Put them on right now.”

There were no allies!

“Elise!”
“Saintess… everyone wants it.”

Ah!

“Father. Hurry. I want to see it too.”
“Ari, even you!”

This was the end!

“Ah, damn it…! What is this!”

In the end, I had no choice but to reluctantly put the stickers on my dick… This was just a joke! The heart stickers were too small compared to my dick! And that wasn’t all. There were three stickers in total. I had no choice but to put them on my nipples as well.

And it didn’t end there.

“Katt-nim! Here are the gloves and socks!”
“Agh!”

Black gloves and socks! I even had to put those on!

And so, an absurd freak was completed.

A muscular, hulking Heavenly Demon freak who had not only black heart stickers on his dick and nipples, but also black gloves and socks to match.

“Damn it…!”

I’m a god and a Heavenly Demon, and I have to look like this!

There’s something about the same clothes looking sexy when a woman wears them, but looking awful when a man wears them. Think about it. A woman wearing a slingshot bikini is really beautiful. But a man wearing a slingshot bikini? No one would doubt it if he claimed to have enlisted in the Sacred Band of Thebes.

“Then, Katt-nim’s costume! We’ll reveal it now!”

—Shwaa!

The curtain was drawn back.

My appearance was revealed to them.

“Katt…! I, I can’t believe it! Katt!”
“S-Saintess! It’s too lewd!”
“Oh my god! What should we do! What should we do! It’s cute! You’re so cute, Katt…! Look at those adorable heart stickers!”
“Hehe… Hehehehe! Honey! That’s exactly what you always do to us!”

My women.

They all covered their mouths and screamed, sending me gazes that seemed to be moved.

“Damn it.”

I was just… showing my body to them.

“Ka, Katt-nim… please use this too.”
“Hilde, please.”

—Stroke.

On my head.
Hilde put a black bunny ear headband.

“I can’t resist wanting to die.”
“Katt! You can’t die! Hurry! Let’s take pictures!”
“Yes!”

—Click.
—Click.
—Click.

And my appearance was photographed from many different angles… I really didn’t like it, but what could I do when my women wanted it? And in reality, I had enjoyed dressing my women in lewd clothes.

Was this my karma?

“Okay, okay! Next is this! This! You like armor, right? Let’s wear this!”
“If it’s armor, why are you telling me to wear just greaves and gauntlets on my bare body! Sister!”
“You little brat. You should just take what you’re given. Ah. Okay, okay. I’ll give you a sword belt and a sword too. We don’t need a helmet, right?”

Someone save me!

* * *

Then one day.

“Ah, honey. Just a moment.”
“Why?”
“I think I’m in labor.”
“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
