[Goddess’s Child]

“…You want to have a child with Exa?”

As we stood stock-still, dumbfounded, Tirna asked Phinis-sama.

To which Phinis-sama nodded, “Yes, I do…” and continued, “because I don’t have a child, that is excluding the monsters…”

“That’s…”

“But monsters don’t talk to me… They know that I’m their creator, but they don’t think of me as their ‘mother’… Even though I love them so much, the feeling is one-sided…”

““““““……””””””

We unknowingly kept silent seeing Phinis-sama lightly shaking her head, seeming lonely.

Sure, I couldn’t possibly forgive her given what she’d done.

But to be frank, I couldn’t help but sympathize with her feelings.

She was ridden with distress over her contrast with Olgou-sama from the moment she was born, persecuted, and sealed away beyond the void.

There she spent an amount of time which was equivalent to eternity for ordinary people all by herself.

Which was where her ‘loneliness’ stemmed from.

That’s why she longed for someone who could live the same time as her.

Someone who’d never persecute her, and would forever love her as much as she loved them.

——Yes, she longed for a child.

And not just any child.

It must be a child who possessed power as a ‘god’ like her.

Such a child was what she was trying to have with me.

“P-please wait a moment!? No matter how close Exa-sama’s power to that of the gods, he is still, beyond doubt, a ‘human’!? Being a goddess, your body is made of energy, so shouldn’t it be impossible for you to have a child with him!?”

Hearing Magmell’s question, Phinis-sama’s expression made a sudden reversal and she said in a jovial manner, “Yes… yes, you’re right… That’s why I’m giving him the Sacred Treasures…”

“…Huh?”

“A Sacred Treasure that has gone through purification, ‘Hallowed Sacred Treasure’, is a fusion of my and Olgou’s powers—a very unique weapon… With his being able to control all seven of them through their masters, he can definitely become an even more perfect god than us… Then, he’ll be able to impregnate me…”

“…In short, you’re trying to make Exa become a ‘god’?” Arca asked, looking doubtful.

Phinis-sama nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right…《Superior Arms》, was it…? Even I can’t defeat you if you are in its ultimate form… But the moment you activate it, you’ll sublimate into a being extremely close to godhood. If you then come into contact with me who has absorbed Olgou’s power, what do you think would happen…?

“Ufufu…” Phinis-sama revealed an eerie smile.

I swallowed my saliva and asked, “…What would happen then?”

Phinis-sama then curved her lips into a big grin and said, “You’d be able to become ‘one’ with me, both physically and mentally…”

Meanwhile.

The sex appeal class held in the dwarven village had shifted into a more in-depth subject.

“Then you just have to get into child-making straightaway.”

“D-don’t call it c-child-making!? You’re making it sounds more embarrassing!?”

“But if you don’t, you guys wouldn’t be able to defeat that ‘Goddess of the End’, right? If so, this isn’t the time to be dilly-dallying.”

“I-I know that, but…”

Glance, Elma turned her eyes to Shiva for help, then Shiva giggled bewitchingly and said, “For your information—he’s amazing, you know?”

“What!?” Elma’s face heated up in an instant.

She did hear that Exa was a lust monster who could deal with all the other saintesses at the same time in one night, but being an inexperienced in such an affair, she couldn’t imagine what it was like. The only reference she had was the books that Porco had.

But the scenes depicted in the books were very embarrassing. There was absolutely no way she could do such things with Exa, especially given that things were still kind of awkward between them.

As such, Elma asked the two with a very serious expression, “P-please! Tell me how to end it without having to do the ‘double peace’!”

““……Huh?””

“……Huh?”

A beat later.

“““Huh?”””

Afterward, Elma found that she was having a very embarrassing misunderstanding, then for a while she sat in the corner of the workshop, hugging her knees and muttering, “…I’m not gonna say a thing anymore.”
