"Well then, I'm in your care."
"Y-yeah…"
That night.
I eventually decided to embrace Magmell.
For better or worse, she was a woman who had decided to become
my concubine—to live out her life together with me.
Therefore, I'd thought that I should treat her the same way I treat
Arca, my legal wife.
Needless to be said, there was a protest from Arca, but she had
finally given her consent on the condition that I would embrace and
pour her love more than I would Magmell later.
I wanted to love the both of them equally, but it seemed that neither
of them was happy with that.
So, I figured I'd do my best to make sure the two of them were
satisfied.
Whether or not they were satisfied would be very sensitive topic to
ask, though…
Anyway, I tried to embrace Magmell but, a problem came up.
"Before we start, I have one request I'd like to ask of you."
"Request?"
"Yes. I want you to… embrace me harder than you did Arcadiasama!"
"Ehh!?"
Yes, she asked me to embrace her harder than I did Arca.
Of course, I tried to turn her down, saying that even the physically
trained Arca had ended up unable to stand up. But she didn't give
up, saying that was exactly what she wanted, so I should embrace
her harder.
I was sure that she wanted to be loved more than Arca because she
was bothered with her status of a concubine.
So, I did my best to respond to her feelings.
I had accumulated considerable experience by embracing Arca all
night.
Yet, I still went little bit too hard…
Magmell fainted halfway, and Arca came in as if she had been
waiting for it. Falling for her temptation, I ended up embracing her
until morning afterward.
Well thanks to that, I managed to make the both of them satisfied at
the same time, so all in all, the result was good.
Anyway, with this, Magmell had Igniver-sama's power too, so I hoped
I'd be able live happily with her and Arca for years to come.
That said, we had to work extra hard as 'Brave' party from now on,
though…
◇ ◇
Anyway, the power I'd received from Terra-sama was quite different
from the one I'd received from Igniver-sama.
At that time, it seemed that my skill had evolved because Igniversama's power was perfectly compatible with it; it shouldn't have
happened ordinarily.
Which was why nothing had happened to "Phoenix" skill when I'd
received Terra-sama's power, but,
『Skill――"Perfect Conception": Able to impregnate at will』
No, what the heck was with this skill!?
Well, I did learn various other earth-attribute Arts too but, what the
hell was this…
Moreover, it wasn't a sub skill but a main skill…
If, in 1/10,000 chance it gets derived, what would it become…? I
worried to myself, but,
"What a wonderful skill…"
"W-we must try this out as soon as possible! Yes, as soon as
tonight!"
Just why did you girls get so excited, geez…
"No, I surely want to have kids in the future, but now we still have
things that we've gotta do…"
"Y-yes, I do understand that, you know? However…"
Glance, Magmell took a glance at Arca.
"I see, so that's what you're scheming about."
It looked like Arca could read Magmell's intention.
She laughed boldly and said, "It's your common story. She wanted to
be one of those concubines who succeeded in bearing the
husband's child ahead of his legal wife, who had a hard time getting
pregnant."
"Eeh…" Speaking of which, I'd also heard such stories before…
"I-I have no other choice, don't I!? Though vexing, I'm but a
concubine! Still, I also want to be Exa-sama's number one! I can only
give birth to Exa-sama's child ahead of Arcadia-sama to take over
her, who hold the lofty status of legal wife!"
"Take over her…?"
"Good grief, what a troublesome concubine. To think you plan to use
your own beloved child as a tool to climb the rank." Arca shrugged
her shoulders.
Humph, Magmell turned away and said, "You can say whatever you
want! But if that is the case, I'll take it that you have no complaints
even if I become pregnant first, okay?"
"No, that's a big no-no."
So you did have complaints.
"Sure, I'd have no complain if I were to have a hard time getting
pregnant. I wouldn't give up my position of the legal wife, but I'd let it
slide.
"But!" Arca pompously puffed up her breasts and said, "It's different
story if I can definitely get pregnant! Rather, it can be said that my
position of legal wife has become rock solid thanks to the skill from
Terra-sama."
"W-what did you say…!?"
"I'm the legal wife, after all! Hence, for a concubine to want to bear
Exa's child without my permission is an outrageous notion! Know
that everything in this household requires my permission!"
"T-that's tyranny!? Exa-sama, why did you pick such a person as
your legal wife!?"
"W-well, even if you ask me…" I could only answer because I had
met her first…
"Gh, alright! If that's the way you want to play, then I won't hold
back!"
""?"" Arca and I tilted our heads.
Magmell grandly pointed her finger our way (or rather, Arca's) and
said, "—I'll definitely give birth first and take the position of legal wife
from you!"
"Kukuku, very well. In short, the one who makes Exa gets what it
feels like becoming a father wins, yes? I'll take you up on that
challenge!"
"..." You girls getting fired up was good and all, but let's put that
matter on hold until this journey was over, okay?
