“Damn, that was close!” I muttered.
I had run to the beach, which was only across the street from the store where the swimsuits were being sold, and then hid in the guy’s locker room, or whatever this world’s equivalent was called. It wasn’t that I wanted to hide that Raissa was pregnant. However, the circumstances behind it were a bit strange, and I was still dealing with it myself.
Raissa should at least figure out she’s pregnant on her own. I mean, it’s her body. It’ll be much less of a shock if it comes from her that she’s having a baby. It won’t be too long. Just a month or two and she should be able to figure it out. I might not even be the first person she told, but that would be fine. I think she’d be a lot happier if I didn’t just dump that knowledge on her.
As for the other girls, well, I already saw things turning disastrous if I revealed this information prematurely. Shao would definitely strap me to a bed and extract semen from me to get herself pregnant like a certain foolish protagonist in a woman-centric web novel I read once. The other girls would all get jealous in one way or another, and I’d have to work hard to make sure that they all understood that they mattered to me.
Well, I felt like I still had a bit of time for that. I had a good nine months to get ready to be a father. I hadn’t even been in this world for half a year, yet I had already changed so much. I would continue to change and grow into a responsible adult. Well, that’s what I was hoping at least.
A sound caught my ear, and I turned around to see a woman standing there. I blinked in surprise.
“Ah? Astria? I didn’t see you earlier. You came to the beach too, right? I’m sure Celeste will be pleased.”
Astria had a swimsuit too, but she hadn’t shown up at Lydia’s failed dress show. She had a skirtini. It was pink in color, which contrasted well with her black hair. Her hair wasn’t originally black, but when she had become a Dark Fairy, the color had changed, and it hadn’t changed back despite the fact she was a normal fairy now. Actually, it wasn’t abundantly clear what she was. I didn’t know if she was a Sylph like her daughter, a Fairy Queen, or a Fairy. If I used Identify on her, it showed up as ???. The only other person that happened for was Shao. That told me that she was some kind of unique existence. Hopefully, she wasn’t a step away from becoming a fairy demon lord. I wasn’t even sure how to deal with that.
“Hello, Deek. There isn’t much time. So, let’s enjoy ourselves.”
“Ah, you can talk!”
If I recalled correctly, Celeste had said her mind had reverted to that of a child, yet nothing about this woman screamed child. That was accentuated a moment later when she reached up undid the back of her swimsuit. It fell to the ground, exposing her bare chest.
“Make love to me.” She purred, her wings fluttering seductively.
