Book 11: Chapter 3: Sage and Maid

Goodeve, Tina.

I waited for Tina in the bed as usual, and she came after finishing her chores.

Sorry for the wait, Halt-sama.

No prob. Alright, lets sleep?

Its Lunas day today, isnt it? Shouldnt we wait for her?

Tina would sleep beside me on my left side, and the rest of my wives would sleep on my right side by turns every night.

Usually, I would wait for Tina and the wife who was supposed to sleep with me that night unless it got too late, but

It was different for today.

Its only the two of us for tonight, Tina.

Is Luna not feeling well?

No. I asked Luna to let us sleep together tonight, just the two of us.

I-I see

Tina mustve seen through my intentions.

Her face turned beet red.

Then, please excuse me.

Hm.

I turned the blanket and Tina slid in.

Your feet are cold, Tina.

I-Im sorry.

Glendales climate was warm all year round, but lately, the mornings and evenings had gotten a bit chilly since the Blizzard Dragon had been in this area lately, apparently.

Tina had taken a bath after finishing her chores before she came to my room, but her hands and feet seemed to have gotten cold while she was on her way here.

You can come closer to me. Tinas body feels cool, and its nice.

I had been reading a book on the bed while waiting for Tina, so the blankets were toasty from my body heat. Thats why Tinas temperature was perfect.

...Is it alright?

Yup. Come ere.

I embraced Tina.

Cold.

Most of my wives were former royalty, spirits and a demon king, so there was almost no one who could perfectly do the house chores aside from Tina.

Luna and Akari might be the exception.

Tina had patiently and thoroughly guided those former royalty and demon king, so recently, everyone could do a great job.

Her burden mustve been lighter because of that, but Tina didnt change at all from how she was in the past. She still took care of me as my exclusive maid, and she was also the one who did the most chores.

It was a habit that had been so ingrained in her that she just couldnt stop it, apparently.

Her maid outfit looked really cute on her, and the sight of her had become as natural to me as breathing, so continuing like this didnt sound so bad to me.

Thanks for the hard work with the chores today, as always.

No, thats

I patted her head while hugging her. Tina circled her arms around me and gave me a squeeze.

I could see how happy she was.

And her soft things were glued on me, and it felt so great.

Halt-sama, can you give me more of your warmth?

Yup, its fine.

Evil God was the one who killed me.

Creator God-samas power granted my wish to return to this world.

Im grateful to Evil God. Still, I wanted to take revenge on him for killing me.

I had been thinking about that all this time.

Youre going, no matter what?

Yup.

...Are you leaving me and this child?

W-What?

Halt-samas child. Are you fine leaving not only me, but this child as well?

Tina caressed her stomach while saying that.

Wait, wait, wait. Theres no way just one round

The long-lived elves are a race that have difficulty bearing children. However, I no, we wanted to turn that chance into something set in stone, so we learned a certain secret art.

N-No way.

With Lunas help, we searched for a spell that would turn our bodies fully capable of bearing children in the grimoire written during the creation of the world.

Seriously?

Thus, I am now with a child, and its ours, Halt-sama.

Tina held my hand and put it on her stomach.

Will you still go to Evil God-samas place?

....

Am I dreaming?

Im going to be a father. Me.

I had prepared a lot of things so that I could go to Evil Gods place.

I ensured that itd still be fine somehow, in the worst case scenario that I died.

Still, I wanted to see my own child with my own eyes.

I thought my resolve was already rock solid, but now I started to waver.

Tina and my child, huh.

That child would probably be adorable.

I understand. Then, please let me and this child come with you.

Eh.

I thought Halt-sama would give up as soon as you heard that you have a child. However, its obvious that you still cannot decide. Thats just how strong your resolve had been.

Tina hugged me.

She then whispered in my ear.

If you cannot let go of your revenge against Evil God-sama, then I am will to follow you, even to the ends of the earth. You wont do something like die and leave your wife and child alone, right, Halt-sama?

Y-Yeah.

Your wife and child are watching you. You will never lose against someone like the Evil God, right? Halt-sama?

Y-Yes! You are absolutely right!

Tina let go after listening to my reply.

Her smile was dazzling as she beamed at me.

However, I could keenly feel the overwhelming bloodlust behind that sweet smile.

Well then, Halt-sama. Lets go obliterate the Evil God who is the root of all things bad.
