Chapter 542: Fathers are useless
As my wives’ pregnant bellies grew larger, Sylph, Undine, Dryas, and Selene visited my mansion more often.
This showed that their due dates were approaching.
In the end, Freesia-san did not return to Yggurle Kingdom even once, and no choice but to ask to write a letter to Dante-san. Of course, both Sophia and I wrote letters explaining the situation to Dante-san.
Dante-san wrote back saying that that he was sorry for imposing but he would like us to let Freesia-san stay until she feels like it. Seeing Freesia-san’s domineer, Dante-san must have been because of Dante-san’s tolerance. ...... or so I would like to think.
Madam Elizabeth also showed no signs of returning to the Royal Capital.
From time to time, Viscount Packard would visit Madam Elizabeth and Charlotte, but Madam Elizabeth herself does not want to go back. She is a noble of Valkyra Kingdom, will she be alright?
And Madam Lumia.
As to be expected, she is the Queen of Yggurle Kingdom, so I thought it was impossible for her to live in the Sanctuary, but...... she’s only gone back a couple of times, and after a few days in Yggurle Kingdom, she comes back with more personal belongings.
Madam Lumia’s personal maids increased, and she said she would be retire and stay with Mimir-sama in the Sanctuary.
That Madam Lumia seemed to like the Cat Sith sisters Miri and Lala, and I often see her cuddling them.
And so, while passing the average day like any other, the time finally came.
Sophia went into labor.
「Wait! Don’t walk around the corridor like a restless bear!」
「That’s right nya. Takumi-sama, calm down nya.」
「Ah, yeah, sorry.」
Restless and unable to calm down In front of the door Sophia was in, I was scolded by Akane and Lulu-chan.
Laeva came with drinks, the maids brought food, and Charlotte delivered documents. The last one displeased me though.
Perhaps because it was a first for me in both lives I’ve lived, or maybe because I was frustrated with how useless I was, but this went on for six hours.
I don’t know how long it would take, or what the average even was.
Then, while I was talking to Freesia-san, Akane, Lulu-chan, and Laeva, it happened.
Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!
We all stood up immediately and watched the door.
The door opened and Maribelle came out.
「Congratulations, Master. It’s a healthy baby girl. Sophia-sama is also safe.」
「Congratulations, Takumi.」
「Congratulations nya.」
「Congratulations!」
「S-she did it!!」
I was so happy I jumped for joy. That got me scolded by Maribelle and Freesia-san, but I couldn’t help it.
