Say, Exa-sama."
"Mm?"
On a certain.
All of a sudden, Magmell, as she was breastfeeding our daughter 'Estee', said, "I… am very happy now. I'm very happy to be able to hold my cute child and to be married to my beloved Exa-sama like this."
"Yeah, me too, Magmell."
"I'm so happy… With the three of us—no, we may have even more children later, but let's build a happy family, Exa-sama."
"Yeah, let's."
We smiled at each other and then turned our eyes to our beloved daughter.
We stayed like that for a while, but…
"—Okay, that's enough. Next is my turn. Good work."
…Zana interrupted with a clap of her hands, and Magmell protested, "Wha?! But my time isn't up yet?!"
"My, how unfortunate, but your baby is already asleep, so making too much noise may not be a good idea, don't you think?"
"No, whose fault do you think it was?!" Magmell lowered her voice as she knitted her brows, but since Estee truly was already asleep, she went off to her bedroom with a sigh, muttering "…Good grief".
Zana then leaned against me as if to take over her place and said, "Then next is my turn. Shall we start with the bed scene?"
"Huh?!"
With that, Zana tried to take me to her bedroom, but naturally, "Stop right there" came from the other girls.
"What the hell are you trying to do…" Arca said with a sigh.
"Honestly, I don't think that scene is necessary." Tirna nodded.
"Told you we can't take our eyes off her. Or rather, she hasn't got a kid yet, why is she even participating?" Ophir said.
"Well, she insisted so…" Shiva-san sighed.
"Never mind that, but do we really have to do this in front of everyone…?" Elma asked.
As I sighed at the girls who began to argue, as usual, I once again remembered why this happened.
It all started with Arca's question: "How our married life—with our children—would have been like if you hadn't taken any concubine, I wonder?"
That piqued everyone's interest, so we decided to try it out.
And so, me and the girls, in turns, enacted how our monogamous married life would have been like—as they imagined it to be—but it was true that Zana and I hadn't had a child yet.
So in my opinion, there was nothing wrong with 'starting from the making', but…
"Why, there's nothing wrong with that, is there? A baby is the fruit of a couple's love, so it's only natural to start with making love, isn't it?"
"But that's not the point here. You just want to monopolize Exa, aren't you?" Arca asked.
"Well, I won't deny it, because I just want to be loved by him more than anyone else."
Saying that, Zana wrapped her arms around my neck, making Ophir shrug her shoulders and said, "…Geez, this gal is as stubborn as usual… then again, she's a princess, so…"
Haa… Ophir sighed, but looking at her up and down, Zana began, "By the way, I've been thinking…" and continued, "Maternity clothes don't suit you very much, huh…"
"Shaddap?! I don't wanna wear it, either?! The old hag forced me to put it on, saying 'Your stomach will get cold', I couldn't refuse?!" Ophir, who screamed with a flushed face, was wearing a cute maternity outfit with a floral pattern.
I thought she looked cute in it, but she seemed to be very embarrassed about it.
Even so, she still wore it. That was one of her good points.
It was a gift from Turbo-sama, so she couldn't bring herself to bluntly reject it.
"Oi, what're ya grinning at?! Is it that weird that I'm wearin' clothes like these?!"
"No, I was just thinking how cute you look in them."
"O-oh, that so… w-well, if you like it, whatever I guess…" Ophir twirled her hair with a somewhat pleased look on her face.
Elma stared at her. "No, never mind that, I've been stuck in the back of the line for so long, can't we move on already…? Igniver-sama has been waiting naked here since a while ago, too…"
"Hahaha, don't you worry, my stomach doesn't get cold."
"No, that's not the problem here."
