The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 370: Side Story – Pregnancy (2)

370 – Side Story – Pregnancy (2)

[Finally, my grandchildren have been conceived!]

Lately, Brain God Gahlia has been laughing a lot.

Especially recently, he’s been chattering around me, busy at work, in his small crow-like form.

[Following Dorothy, now Luce too, it’s going smoothly, very smoothly!]

“How many times have you said that?”

[Isaac, do you know how much I’ve longed for this? These days, waiting to see my grandchildren is the joy of my life.]

Brain God Gahlia flapped his wings by the window as he replied, as if he were a grandfather overjoyed at the thought of seeing his grandchildren soon.

Of course, I understood why the usually dignified him was making such a fuss.

Ever since graduating from Merchen Academy, he’d been hinting, almost talking to himself, ‘When will I see my grandchildren?’

“Yeah, yeah.”

I chuckled.

‘Dorothy is pregnant, and Luce too. And probably Kaya soon.’

Slowly, it was time for my children, and for Brain God Gahlia, for the grandchildren to multiply.

It was a moment of sheer joy.

To actually meet and unite in love with the idols I had adored.

Wasn’t it just like a dream everyone had, now turned into reality?

[Gallia, you’re making quite a fuss.]

The small white dragon, Ice Dragon Hild, lay sprawled over my head.

Her voice was languid and feminine.

[You might as well be a child. But then again, given your age, it can’t be helped.]

[Are you referring to me? I’m not so young to be spoken of in that manner...!]

[Hm?]

[...No, you’re right from your perspective.]

An unexpected hierarchy was established.

[That’s enough. As the saying goes, the heavier the ear of rice, the lower it bows. ...Hmm?]

I smiled and gently stroked Hild’s body with my hand.

[Hehehe, such sudden petting...!]

“Enjoying the age talk, Hild?”

[More, pet me more...!]

Hild burst into laughter above my head.

My playful spirit was kindled.

I placed Hild on the desk and brought my nose and mouth close to her belly. And then.

Yawning and stretching like a cat, the magical beast Ella.

“Ah, Ella. Did you wake up because it’s noisy?”

[Yeah. Hilde seems to be having fun.]

From noble mtl dot come

Ella pranced over and curled up on my lap.

“Ella?”

Ella cracked open an eye and glanced at me sideways.

[Can’t I be a little spoiled too?]

I laughed and stroked Ella’s back.

Ella closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed my touch.

[...Not bad at all.]

Ella expressed her opinion with a touch of sass.

As I reached out to pet Hilde again, Ella placed her paw on my arm.

So, I stroked Hilde with one hand and Ella with the other.@@@@

‘So cute...’

Surrounded by these small and adorable magical beasts, my heart felt healed.

[Hmph.]

The elder god of thunder, Brainshaker, let out a grunt of discomfort.

“Shall I pet you too?”

[I’m fine....]

Brainshaker expressed his disapproval with a shake of his head.

......

I was in the midst of a peaceful day, taking care of my commitments and my ladies, when I found out about Kaya’s pregnancy. After that, we decided to move up the wedding.

Dorothy, Luce, and Kaya were at the Duffendorf Palace, so I spoke to them comfortably in person.

They all agreed.

It seemed they wanted to have the wedding before showing too much.

I sent the news to White and Alice, who were far away, via letter.

The replies came quickly.

Even before she had washed up,

White leaned on the window sill, gazing blankly at the moon that had begun to hang in the sky.

“Senior Isaac... You must be having a happy time with your other wives by now, not even thinking of someone like me...”

He must be having a very joyful and happy time.

Wasn’t there a festival in Duffendorf with the announcement of Dorothy, Luce, and Kaya’s pregnancies?

This year was indeed a historic day for Duffendorf.

“And Senior Alice is said to be returning soon...”

Considering the order of pregnancies, Isaac would no longer have a moment to spare for White.

White couldn’t help but feel a sense of crisis.

“Grr, if only I had been born just one year earlier...!”

White clenched her fists, trembling with frustration. Her eyes brimmed with regretful tears.

Wasn’t she the weakest among Isaac’s five wives?

If only she had been Isaac’s contemporary and had already graduated from the academy, the situation might have been better.

But now, she was tied to the academy.

Neither she nor Isaac wanted her to drop out.

“Sigh.”

White let out a deep sigh and hung her head.

“Senior Isaac..., I’ve missed you.”

“I’ve missed you too.”

“Huh?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice rings in my ears.

Startled, White quickly lifts her head.

And there, hanging upside down, Isaac enters her view.

“aaagh!!”

Thud!

White falls backward in terror, as if she had seen a ghost.

Isaac gracefully climbs through the window into White’s room.

Bang!

Merlin bursts through the door.

“Princess White! What’s the matter...!? Oh?”

Merlin stops short at the sight of a familiar face.

Snap. She promptly salutes Isaac.

“Here we meet again. Has it been a long time?”

Isaac smiles, looking back and forth between White and Merlin.

He had followed the visitor’s protocol as an alumnus of Märchen Academy.

“Didn’t I hear this room was soundproof?”

At Isaac’s teasing remark, Merlin flinches.

“A loud voice can still be heard...! As Princess White’s guardian, I have no choice but to be all ears.”

“Is that so?”

Isaac doesn’t say much more.

He knows Merlin will make herself scarce.

“Ah, Senior Isaac...? How did you suddenly...?”

Isaac extends his hand to White, and as she takes it and rises, she asks,

“You said you missed me? I missed you too.”

“Well, yes, but...”

“So I came to see my beloved wife.”

Isaac gently brushes aside a lock of White’s hair.

When the man she loved appeared unexpectedly, White’s eyes, still not fully recovered from the shock, were soaked with affection.

“White.”

“Yes....”

Isaac sent a deep gaze with a smile.

And he said,

“Give me your child.”

“...What?”

Suddenly, confusion flooded White’s face.

“That’s what I want.”

A smiling face. It was a tone both kind and firm.

White mulled over Isaac’s words for a while, and soon grasped the context.

Soon.

“Whaaat!?”

White’s horrified voice echoed through the dormitory.
