Chapter 374: 365 The change in outlook on life is a clue

There are certainly times when you say you can't concentrate.

Depending on your condition and environment, there will be an error in your ability to concentrate, such as when you are not feeling well, tomorrow is a holiday, or there is a lot of noise around you.

In the case of work, the ability to concentrate is directly related to the efficiency of the work.

Distracted, we cannot concentrate on what we should be doing, and when we are distracted, we make mistakes and lose efficiency.

This leads to a vicious cycle of work, which is not welcome in the workforce.

That may have been the case for me the last few days.

I've gotten support from my subordinates and peers for mistakes I shouldn't have made.

I've spent a lot of time.

Each time I was laughed at and worried if I was okay.

I know I shouldn't be told that this is the way things are, but I want to ask you to forgive me for this moment.

Anyway.

"Suella's here.

For the first time in my life, I am on the verge of becoming a father.

I'm aware that I started to lose focus after checking with the doctor many times and being told it was time.

I knew I shouldn't do that in the dungeon, so I tried to force myself to concentrate and ended up spinning out of control more than usual.

I made some mistakes that I wouldn't have made with the paperwork.

And when Kaylee said that to me while I was working, I said to her.

I told you to go to Suela's side now!

With a full swinging spinning kick, I was physically slapped on my ass by Ms. Keely and kicked out of the office.

I don't know how Ms. Keely looked at me as I ran as fast as I could, writhing in pain, but she saw me off.

Instead.

'Don't worry about your work! I'll take care of you with a twenty year old wine! I want you to be a good father!

It's a tough expense, and such encouragement made me leave work midway.

I've heard that the dark elves are very protective of their children.

I was grateful for their ethnicity and rushed off on my feet.

I know where I'm going, and I run toward the medical ward.

Along the way I remember my conversations with Suela over the past few days.

"Suela, are you feeling all right?

"How many times do I have to check already?

Every time I went to visit her, she worried and laughed at me every time.

"It's okay, the mineral tree you grew is protecting me," he said.

And though I know it must be hardest on her, she was laughing and encouraging me.

Women are strong.

That's what someone said.

There was some doubt in my mind, but I now believe it was quite true.

A woman can do what a man can't.

It is the strength that makes it possible that will show its power at the last minute.

Hahaha.

You're running as fast as you can, forgetting to add or subtract.

When you arrive in front of the medical compartment and stop to catch your breath, you will hear a light sound and see Memoria running towards you.

Normally, she keeps a calm expression on her face, but when something happens, she gets emotional.

Contrary to the sound of her, a shadow can be seen coming around the corner with a momentum that seems to leave an afterimage.

Utilizing the full power of his physical abilities, he accomplishes this by spreading his wings for rapid braking, and then turns at a right angle at high speed without slowing down, and that person is Himik.

Jiro-san.

"Lord!

Perhaps the news went to Memoria first, and then to Himik.

I felt my shoulders relax as the two of them appeared at the right time, plus or minus zero in the speed difference, and I went a little crazy.

My mouth relaxed.

Harem is a genre that is often said to be nothing more than a fantasy filled with men's desires, that it's all hard work and no good.

But just by coming together like this, rushing to the birth of a child.

What the hell are you doing. It's already happening.

And best of all .

We can share things with each other that we wouldn't normally show you.

That's why I'm glad we have this relationship.

I never thought the day would come when I would get to see a fidgety Evvia, and the fact that she came out of the medical compartment means that she was there before anyone else, and before I knew it, my pounding and nervousness had turned to calm.

"Yeah, I'm coming,

This is how the four of us together enter the medical compartment and walk down the corridor, even though we did not agree to it.

Then you enter a special compartment and hear a flurry of activity within it.

"What is the magic concentration?

"Breathe in! Spit it out!

"Maternal stability is a priority!

"It's okay! You are almost there!

"The child's magical response increases!

The doctor's shouting and the nurses moving around as he or she instructed, and the voice of encouragement for Suela could be heard.

.........

I have heard that the birth of a child is a battle, but I never thought I would hear it this way.

Stunned is the word, and the tension that had settled in, driven by the anxiety of wondering if you are okay, comes out again.

□□□□□□□□□□!

Are you sure you're okay?

It's probably only this much because I'm chewing on something, but it was definitely Suela's voice.

I turned my gaze to look at Memoria and the others standing beside me, wondering what the hell is going on inside to hear such a loud voice, even though we're just across the door.

I'm sure you're hoping that it's the same woman, and that I'm the only one who's upset.

"[.........]

And I felt a little regret for having seen their faces.

All together, eh? It was written on her face that childbirth is so painful.

Memoria's eyes widened, Himiku shook her face busily, and seemingly calm Evvia didn't miss the cold sweat on her cheeks.

Shouting, shouting and cheering mingle, and with every second ticking away, we can only wait.

While you're glad to understand that you feel the same way and are anxious inside, you're even more anxious because you can't judge whether the current situation is okay or not.

□□□□□□□□□!

"See! The head is coming out! Suck! Spit it out!

How much time has passed since then?

Maybe it's because the walls are too thin, or maybe it's because of the body strengthened by the magic crests, but I'm worried about the situation inside every single time I hear a report.

"omgaaaaa, omgaaa!

I've got one!

"Don't be a pussy! There's another one!

Then I hear the birth and stand, but my heart doesn't relax at the thought of hearing that the next one is over and that it's not over yet.

It's not long before I'm relieved to hear that the battle is still half over and that it's not over, and I'm more anxious to be outside the door.

Looking up at her face in response to the sound of her baby's birth, Memoria clasps her hands as if in prayer, and Evvia squeezes her arms tightly together without averting her gaze.

I can only sit still and stare at the door.

I would have liked to be there, but they said they wanted to do everything they could to take care of mother and child, so I can only wait.

And then.

"Oh, my God!

"I was born! You were born!

I heard the second birth, and now it was over.

The noisy room became quiet, and a minute or two passed.

The time feels very long.

Just when everyone thinks something is wrong, the door is quietly opened.

Sir!

A dark elf woman in a surgical suit comes out with her gloves off.

Her face is tired, but she smiles and smiles so much that you can see through her mask that she's done it.

"Congratulations. They're fine girls.

Her voice is slightly muffled and through a mask, but her voice is full of joy.

'What about Suela?

I was relieved to hear that the baby was delivered safely, and then I worried about Suela, the mother, and she said, "She's a little weak, but she's conscious.

"She's a little weak, but she's conscious. She's going to be fine.

The doctor tells me that it's okay with you, too.

And this time I'm relieved.

To see her.

"Yes, I can.

With the doctor's permission, the four of you will enter with purification magic and simple wards for hygiene.

Oh, Jiro-san.

There was Suela lying there with her upper body slightly elevated at the function of the bed.

And in her arms.

"You're doing great, Suela.

Dropping to her haunches, kneeling on one knee, eye level with Suela, those were the first words out of her mouth as she held her treasure in her arms.

Her battle to give birth had lasted hours, or months if you think about it, since she was pregnant.

At times, she was on the verge of death, but she firmly got the best possible outcome.

I resent the vocabulary that only allows me to say one word to Suela.

Yes, I did my best.

But this was the one time she heard me say that she didn't need to say anything else, and she gave me her best smile, a little skinny face.

It's so good to see you.

And a single tear is shed from her eyes.

Naturally, I hug Suela's shoulders and wrap her and her children close together.

The children, wrapped in towels, are still in their mother's arms, unable to open their eyelids.

"It's so cute, Himik.

"Yeah, it really is.

"......... Yeah.

The occasional moving hand or lips indicate that they are alive.

Stimulated by their gestures, Memoria, Himik, and Evvia are revealing their honest feelings.

I can feel something hot in my own chest as well.

Ah, it's so nice to meet you at last.

I wonder what I look like now.

I'm smiling.

I think so, but I don't know how I'm smiling.

Because my heart is full of happiness.

Is she sloppy or is she smiling?

At least I'm sure I'm joyful enough to be happy.

I'm in Suela's arms.

A child with silver hair like Suela and dark hair like me.

And a child whose skin color is .........

?

I was too upset to notice that the birth of the child was moving, but then I calmed down a bit and realized that there .

The color of the child's skin in Suela's arms.

No, it's not a particularly worrisome color scheme.

It's not that the skin is blue or green.

The dark-haired child's skin color is the same brown as Suela's, but the silver-haired child's skin color is white.

.........?

"......... Ah

".........?

I'm not sure if they noticed me or not, but the three of them who had been watching me from behind also noticed.

Did you happen to be Rarego?

But unlike me, who was upset by the difference in skin color, Memoria got to the bottom of it as she noticed.

Yes, it seems so.

To begin with, there's no way Suela wouldn't notice the difference in skin color, and the doctor wouldn't have said she was okay if it was weird.

"Rarego?

But I'm not fully aware of the situation in the other world, so I wonder about the unfamiliar words.

It's a pure white child born from various races. Only in rare cases are children born with high magical qualities. Also known as the beloved son of the gods. The moon's blessed vermilion eyes and skin as white as the moon, these children are a great joy for the demon king's army.

Evvia's speech is very soft and reeks of some envy.

When I heard that, I thought I had an albino disposition.

Are you okay? You know, the body is weak or

I'm not worried about that. In fact, thanks to the high degree of magical appropriateness, you can be very strong.

In our world, people with an albino constitution often suffer from various diseases, such as a weakness to sunlight, but in the other world it seems to be different.

It is rather accepted as a rare and celebrated entity.

Is that so?

I am relieved to hear that.

The first thing I want in a child is good health.

As a child of a different worldly person, I was wondering if there might be something in it for me, but I was rather glad that there was a plus side.

Then I looked at the children's swaying hands and slowly gave them a finger.

When my fingers hit a really small hand, it's a reflex, but it's held with a really weak force that can't even be squeezed.

.........

What is this unearned feeling?

I know you say it's not a bad feeling, it's a good feeling, but it's a warm feeling that cannot be expressed in words.

Suela.

The fingers of the other hand also reached out to the other child and squeezed him, which made him even warmer, and he naturally called Suela's name.

Yes,

"Thank you for giving birth to me.

"Yes!

And the gratitude that spontaneously spills over, as if bathed in the gentle light of sunlight filtering through the trees, makes me want to do my best to repay Suela for her hard work.

Slowly, I turned my gaze from Suela to the children, who could only hold it slowly, and in a voice so calm that I wondered if I could make such a voice.

Thank you for being born.

I spin such words.

I smile again at the children who hear my voice and reply with less than a squeeze.

Ah, so this is what triggers a male parent's stupid feelings.

We need to think about the name.

Yes, let's come up with a very nice name.

It was a moment of happiness, and I will probably never forget this moment.

Word of the Day

Oh, there are certainly days when it seems that this has changed.
