Vol. 3 Chapter 11.5 - The little sunshine clears away dark cloud



He was taking Martha’s advice that it wasn’t good to overexert himself, but lying in bed all the time would only harm his health and make childbirth more difficult. So, whenever he had free time in the morning or afternoon, Aeroc would walk around the small garden of the villa. Dressed in a large maternity dress, a wide-brimmed hat, and boots, Aeroc looked like a giant child, which amused Kloff.

Martha especially insisted that he should wear a pink sweater as his body shouldn’t get cold. To top it off, she tied a scarf under the hat to cover his pearly fair face, leaving only his face visible outwardly. Watching from behind, Kloff couldn’t help but giggle. And for teasing the angry Aeroc, Kloff received a smack in the shin.

“Don’t laugh at me!”

“I wasn’t laughing at you. I was laughing because you’re cute.”

“Don’t call me cute too!”

After shouting aloud, Aeroc stomped away from the villa entrance. Kloff chuckled, finding him as adorable as a baby bear taking its first steps.

Perhaps Aeroc was feeling bored with just having a walk, so he grabbed a small seedling shovel and a bucket, then sat down in one corner of the garden, digging for something. It seemed difficult for Aeroc to even sit down, so Kloff wondered what they were planning to do. But to his surprise, Aeroc dug out weeds, caught insects on the flowering trees, and tended to the garden quite skilfully.

“Where did you learn to do this?”

“Every educated aristocrat should have basic knowledge of gardening. Instead of playing with puzzles and numbers all the time, you should learn something as a hobby.”

“I didn’t have anything before, so I was too busy studying to have the luxury to learn cultured basics.”

Aeroc turned their head and glared at Kloff, not liking what he just casually said. Kloff shrugged his shoulders, wondering if he might have touched a nerve, but Aeroc immediately turned away and started digging again.

After an awkward moment of silence, Kloff quietly stepped back and made an excuse, “But I can still play chess.” The hand holding the shovel, which had been digging, stopped. Normally, Aeroc would be completely absorbed in gardening to the point that Kloff had to stop him, but now he left after just a few shovels.

“Aeroc?”

“...The weather isn’t good today. It’s better to harvest the bulbs later.”

Even though the small bucket was less than one-third full, Aeroc dropped the shovel in the bucket and stood up. Kloff stood straight and looked around the horizon, but he couldn’t see a single cloud in the sky.

“But the weather is really nice. It’s clear and crisp.”

“It’s going to rain.”

“I’ll be on the couch, not the bed! I’m more comfortable sitting.”

Quickly obeying his behest, Kloff helped Aeroc sit on the sofa. Carefully keeping his steps in balance, he hurriedly went to call Martha. Perhaps at that moment, Kloff screamed the loudest he had ever screamed in his life. With a panicked face, Martha came out of the kitchen and saw Kloff running down the stairs.

“Martha! It seems like the baby is coming out.”

“Are you sure it’s not a false alarm this time? Is it really time?”

“Yes! Please hurry up and prepare for it.”

Martha handed Kloff an already prepared bag containing the necessary birthing supplies and started boiling hot water. As Kloff rushed back to the room, Aeroc had gotten off the couch and was hugging a cushion, laying his upper body flat on the couch with his legs spread apart.

Kloff didn’t know when Aeroc did it, but he had already stripped off his comfortable pants and underwear. He buried his face in the cushion, letting out a horrible sound while half-swallowing rough breaths. Martha quickly arrived and checked Aeroc’s condition, then opened the bag Kloff had brought with him and took clean towels from inside it.

“Don’t just stand there in a daze, quickly call the doctor!”

“Huh, ah. Okay.”

Startled by Martha’s outcry, Kloff rushed out to call the doctor. He galloped like the wind, as if he had learned horse riding just for this moment, but the short distance to the nearby town center felt three times longer than usual.

As soon as he found the doctor’s office in the center of the town, he pushed the door and entered, but the doctor was not there. Instead, a woman doing errands was surprised and told him that the doctor had gone to the neighboring village to see a child who had broken their leg. Threatening her to get the child’s address, Kloff quickly mounted his horse again and barged into that house, dragging the doctor out.

“You won’t die just because your leg is broken. But my wife is dying right now. If you want to keep practicing medicine, you better come along obediently.”

Like baggage, he threw the middle-aged doctor onto the horse and immediately mounted it, pulling the reins. The strong horse neighed excitedly and galloped. Kloff immediately slurred it on.

“...Since I’ve already applied the bandage, you just need to let it dry!”

With bandages all over his hands, the doctor, who was not only kidnapped but also couldn’t even sit properly, shouted at the mother of the child who had broken their leg in the far distance, clutching the horse’s hindquarters tightly. Kloff literally brought the doctor to the villa with that horse. As soon as he got off the horse, he heard a terrible scream echoing from the second floor. The thought of his omega dying made the hairs on his body stand and his legs tremble. With his mind that was almost scattering, he went towards the bewildered doctor and grabbed him by the collar, dragging him up to the second floor.

“Aeroc! Don’t die! I brought the doctor!”
