"Master, nothing will change if you wander around like an ogre looking for food."
"That's right. The master should hold himself up like a master."
"I don't think so."
I was restlessly wandering around the living room. What are you so upset about?
"Hasn't it already been an hour? Is it going to take this long? Ahh..."
"It hasn't even been fifteen minutes yet."
"It's rare to see a husband so flustered."
"That's dismaying! Ah, more than anything, three people going into labor at the same time."
Tina is smiling at her own pace while Nera looks at me with a frightened gaze.
Yes, Marle, Melkina, and Karen went into labor at the same time. If it's true, I'd like to stay by their side and support them using all sorts of recovery magic, but I was kicked out of the room by the midwives because men weren't allowed.
Even if you were called the leader of the Brave Demon Federation and the demon king of the Great Tree Sea, such a title would be of no use. I'm helpless
"There are many midwives who are good at recovery magic, and we have clean cloths, lots of hot water, expensive magic potions, and even elixirs. You don't have to worry about anything."
"That's right. And you also have the blessings of the gods, don't you? Don't worry."
"If something happens, I might destroy this world."
"It's dangerous, isn't it?"
Deborah smiles wryly while stroking her growing belly. Elmina-san, who is trying to calm me down, and Rifana are getting a little hungry.
It's been a few months since I got the Travel Gate and fulfilled the contract with the Vaults. All my wives were finally pregnant. As a result of the increase in pregnant women and the gradual decrease in the number of nighttime partners, the cycle was sped up and the child was born in a blink of an eye. If you do what you do, you will receive it. It is a matter of course.
"It's okay! No matter what happens, if you have the elixir, it will be one shot!"
"Yeah, and Marle-nee-sama, Elmina-onee-chan, and Karen are all strong. It's okay."
Shitan and Sherry are also completely unmoved while sewing something scratchy. I'm the only one who's freaking out over here. Because I worry about what I worry about.
"More important than that is the master's night partner."
"Is there a story about marrying from the village of demon thieves and the elves of the river people?"
"It seems that they are arguing over who will go over there.
"Shall we address Stella as soon as possible? That child is also a daughter of the Kalendale royal family, and considering the balance with the Kingdom of Miscronia, it is the best choice."
"From the Kalendale Kingdom, Mr. Flam is also married, so the balance is established."
The wives are talking about something vivid while I worry about the three. stop! Right now I'm in a worried husband mode!
"Fufufu, Taishi-kun is so cute when he's upset like that."
""I understand""
"Well, yes."
"I'm usually aloof."
They're looking at me here and smiling. Don't you have a wife who understands my worries?
"If you're just wandering around aimlessly, why don't you come up with a name for your child?"
"That's good. Boys should have brave names, and girls should have cute names."
"That's right. A name that exudes nobility is good."
I heard a cheerful cry from afar. I run at full speed――.
"Pyun!?"
"What do you think? It's dangerous if you go with that kind of momentum."
"My neck is more dangerous!?"
As I was about to start running, the string of Kusuha around my neck became dangerously tight. I heard a strange voice.
"Calm down, take it slow. Speak gently."
"Leave it to me"
If one person was born, they were born one after another, so the cries became four. It seems that she was born safely. I rush as fast as I can, but never run and head to the room where Marle and the others are.
When I arrived at the front of the room, a midwife who seemed to be about to call me just came out of the door. She nods, and she follows him into the room.
Four babies were crying cheerfully under the presence of three mothers. I was surprised at how such a loud voice came from such a small body. Could this be the strength of a new life?
"Taishi-san..."
"You did a great job. I love you."
"yes"
I hold Marle's hand with an exhausted look and stroke her head. No, I'm about to cry.
"Melkina and Karen-chan too…"
"ah"
Prompted by Marl, go to Melkina and Karen.
"Fufu, you did your best."
"Well done. Let's eat a lot of sweet treats when we calm down."
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
He kisses Melkina's forehead while listening to the twin babies crying on the stereo, and finally heads to Karen.
"I did it"
"You're relaxed even at times like this."
"I did my best. Praise me."
"Of course."
I lean towards Karen who stretches out her hands and hug me. Karen is the smallest of the three. She must have had a heavy burden.
Our lives are just beginning. The family will grow and become happier. My job is to protect that kind of happiness no matter what.
Seeing the four babies crying loudly and the three wives smiling happily, I made up my mind again.
