Chapter 82 – Pregnancy at risk.
Lili followed me in silence as I thought about what to say to her. I know her current situation, what Soma did to the couple that cared for her, and that she hates him... But she's never told me anything about it.
It would be strange to act as if I knew everything.
After walking for a few minutes, we arrived at an empty and extremely unpleasant bar. However, it's the perfect place to talk. As soon as we entered, the bar owner seemed quite bothered.
But I didn't care. I ignored his presence and headed to one of the tables. Unlike me, Lili greeted him, though he didn't respond.
Lili lowered her head and remained silent.
"So, this is what you've been doing in the dungeon..." I said.
"No... That's not true."
"Not true? But you yourself confirmed that you had stolen from them and that you would return what you took."
"Urgh... I'm sorry, I didn't want to do those things."
"... Honestly, I don't care much about that."
"Huh?" Lili looked at me, surprised.
"I don't care that you steal from them. They're just idiots, they deserve to be stolen from... But it's dangerous. What would you have done if I hadn't arrived in time?"
"I would have run away from them!"
"Run away? I don't think you'd be able to. You need to stop this, Lili."
"..."
"You're doing this for the money, right? To survive."
I know she's not just doing it for the money. She developed a deep hatred for adventurers. I don't know why she trusted me so much from the start.
"Yes... I need the money."
"Great, and I have the money to give you. Stop doing these things and join the Hestia Familia. I'll take care of you. Don't you want to live in that mansion?"
"What? No, I can't do that."
"Are you afraid of Soma? Don't worry, I'll handle it. I'll make sure he removes you from his Familia."
"Are you crazy?!" Lili slammed her hands on the table. "You want to start a war with the Soma Familia? Don't do anything stupid! I'm fine!"
And what does the system mean by "The pregnancy is at risk"? Is this serious?
I ran down the stairs.
"Goddess, I'm heading out, I'll be back soon."
Even though I don't have a strong desire to become a father, that baby in her belly is my child. I don't want the baby to die. What the hell is going on?

*Aisha's POV*
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, I don't think I can handle the consequences." I had been feeling unwell for a while and already suspected something was wrong. Still, it was only a few days ago that I finally concluded.
I'm pregnant.
I don't know who the father is, but Luan is the only person that comes to mind—the man who took a part of my heart.
I've been with many incredibly handsome men in bed, but he's different. He's so different from the others that, for just a moment, I thought about continuing with this pregnancy.
But the consequences are too significant.
When an amazoness gets pregnant, it's a big problem. So I think it's better to get rid of this child as soon as possible.
'Damn, it's my first time being pregnant, what a horrible feeling.'
Not only the nausea and fatigue but also the anger at myself for killing an innocent child.
But there's no other option. I have to do this.
I just got the particular medicine to end the pregnancy. I don't know what it's made of, but it's 100% effective and is frequently used by other women.
As soon as I left the store, I drank the potion.
It was like a potion in a glass bottle.
The liquid burned down my throat, followed by a weak pain in my stomach. It was almost instant; a few seconds later, I felt something running down my thighs.
It's probably blood.
I ran home as fast as I could.
