“Whoa..”

As she laid her heavily weighted body on the bed, Bertina let out a small sigh.

Now, anyone can see clearly the state of her body.

Her swollen belly made it clear that there was another life inside her.

‘Am I really going to be a mother? Really… in here, me and that person’s child.’

Even at this moment, the baby is kicking and announcing its existence.

Every time she felt that sensation, a smile automatically formed on her lips.

It feels like you have the whole world.

A feeling of happiness that is incomparable to any jewel ever obtained.

Feeling that fact again, Bertina quietly looked at the sky outside the window.

“Now it’s time for you to come.”

I wanted to welcome you from the entrance, but with my current physical condition, it was a bit overwhelming.

As there are concerns about what to do if something goes wrong with the child, she chose to remain calm while enduring frustration.

‘Although it is. I really didn’t know that you would finish this job so perfectly. Not just overcoming a crisis, but even leaving such a huge profit in that situation..’

As a merchant and as a woman bearing his child, you can be proud enough.

With that thought in mind, Bertina began recalling the thing she had been thinking about in her mind all along.

‘Will you accept it? Obviously, you will. It’s because I’m old enough to have that person’s child..’

That time when I was feeling deep anticipation in a corner of my heart that was never vague..

-Smart, smart!-

“!”

The next moment, a knocking sound came from behind her.

At the same time, Bertina turned her head and a bright smile began to form on her lips.

“you!”

“I’m here, ma’am.”

The look of that person who was very welcome.

In response, Bertina rushed towards him as quickly as possible, carrying her heavy body.

“Fortunately, the. Really… To be honest, I was worried the whole time because the war was so big. I am so glad you came back safely.”

“I told you. I promise I will never leave you alone again.”

With those words, Bahamut embraced Bertina’s body.

Like that, Bertina begins to clearly recognize that everything ended well without any major problems while feeling the arms of the man she loves.

Then, after letting go of her body, Bahamut carefully looked at her belly, which was swollen like a southern mountain, and said.

“It has grown so much. our child.”

“Yes, the doctor said it should be out in a few weeks.”

“Good. It’s really… well done.’

Bahamut begins to feel a little overwhelmed by Bertina’s words.

I knew the story from a long time ago. The fact that he became a father like this gave him a very special feeling.

‘Baby… is this really about me becoming a father? I was expecting it, but I didn’t expect it to feel like this.’

Bahamut’s emotions were already heightened by a different feeling of happiness than when he captured the wicked women or made a huge amount of money.

“What about your gender? I think I’ve heard that some doctors can figure that out.”

“Unfortunately, that is still the case. I tried to find out too… but they said that doctors who can use such magic are limited to the Dragona Empire right now. But you’ll find out soon anyway, so please bear with me until then.”

“yes? Then there is nothing you can do.”

To be honest, I liked Bahamut regardless of whether it was a son or a daughter, but I was thinking that it would be better if it was a daughter.

He was sure that a smart and beautiful daughter like Bertina would grow up to be a lovely person who wouldn’t hurt even if she put it in her eyes.

“Now then, since we returned safely, shall we hold a banquet to commemorate it? It’s because I’ve been passing through the Holy Empire and bought some pretty good food materials.”

“Yes. That will be fine. I think I should refrain from drinking for the sake of my child.”

Just like that, Bahamut rejoices with anticipation for the soon-to-be-born child.

Seeing him like this, Bertina also put a smile on her lips.

Not just pure joy. A smile that is filled with personal desire.

Nemea sips a glass of wine with a cheerful feeling while taking her seat in the middle of the banquet hall.

Seeing that, Mergon slightly turned his head and began to sip his glass timidly.

“Oh, this is delicious. It looks weird, but it’s better than I thought.”

“This… this is delicious too. It’s called onion soup… They say it’s a dish often eaten in the Franz kingdom.”

Contrary to Ken, who mainly puts dishes that are considered a little unusual on the outside, Mino, who mainly eats common but acceptable dishes.

As she watched her colleagues enjoy the banquet according to their own tastes, Echid smiled lightly, then turned her head to the two people standing next to her.

“Everyone has suffered. I’m only guarding here, so I haven’t done much, but I’ve been hearing the news that both of them were quite active.”

“In a way, I think it was just as important as the battlefield. Tilda, thanks to you protecting us, we were able to swing our swords safely. Thank you very much.”

“Well, I hate to admit it, but that’s true. great job.”

Ophelia and Echid express their gratitude for protecting the Beden Headquarters here in Schwyz.

At this, Tilda began to look a little embarrassed.

“Thank you for saying that, but… even so, I wonder if you are the only ones who made the elite soldiers of the Dragona Empire flee and competed with the White Dragon Princess. Honestly, if Bertina-sama hadn’t been pregnant, I would have been forced to participate.”

Tilda expresses her regret as a warrior.

At that moment, Ophelia’s face started to look slightly complicated, and Echid also asked Tilda cautiously with a slightly prudent expression.

“Is Bertina pregnant? If so, the opponent…”

“It must be Bahamut-sama. Who else could be a man to Bertina-sama other than him?”

“… ”

Ophelia and Echid finally realized the situation of Bertina, who was not here, to be precise, who had not seen her face even after returning to Schwyz.

In response, Ophelia started to drink the glass of strong liquor without saying a word, and Echid looked at her with a concerned expression and asked,

“It’s fine? I heard it’s quite strong because it’s a distilled spirit.”

“..it’s okay. Today… I’ll have a little drink.”

“hahahaha, yes it should be. Isn’t it a happy day for everyone to come back safely like this? Let’s get drunk to the fullest.”

“..Sigh..”

Echid let out a small sigh while watching Tilda talking carelessly in this situation.

However, even so, it was impossible to say anything in the current atmosphere, and even if it did, it was clear that it would not be of any help to Ophelia.

At this, Echid also felt a burning sensation and began to tilt the glass as it was.

“This is really good.. It sticks so tightly that, after all, expensive alcohol pays for itself.”

“Drink, drink! Today is a good day! Throw away all your worries and worries and drink to your heart’s content, let’s get drunk!”

“… ”

Echid raises her voice with half-giving up, and Tilda tilts her glass hard with her face flushed as if she is already drunk.

And… between those two.

Ophelia just silently poured the drink down her throat, trying to soothe her now complicated mood.

Although Ophelia was quite dark outside of combat, she knew it too.

A woman with a baby by an unmarried man.

As for what she would ask of the baby’s father, it was obvious.

And… as Ophelia expected, right now.

Face to face with Bahamut, she said with a soft smile on her lips.

“Can you do that? As the father of this child.”

“Ah.. ajum..ma?”

She brought up an unexpected story.

Bahamut was hesitant about what to answer, and Bertina spoke in a voice full of earnestness as she saw him not being able to make a decision so easily.

“There is no reason to look around anymore. There would be no reason to delay. I want to start right after the baby is born. Our… wedding.”

“… .”

Unexpectedly, in a situation where he was hit by a single shot, Bahamut was unable to say anything for a moment.
