Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki

「… How can you come up with such an off-target answer!? I'm getting angry!」

「I was wrong then?」

「Obviously! I've been saying it over and over. I love you, Cyril-kun. I wouldn't let someone I don’t love touch my tail or embrace me.」

「If it’s for the sake of the fire foxes, I think you would do it, wouldn't you?」

「… I won't deny that, but it's different. I decided to stay with you because I love you, Cyril-kun.」

Kuu valued others more than herself. If it were for the sake of her younger sisters, she might have obeyed even a vulgar man if he accepted them in return.

「Then why do you keep refusing me?」

「… I really planned to keep quiet. I didn't want to get too excited prematurely. But Yukino kept saying, "Cyril-niisama is feeling down because he thinks Kuu-neesama hates him.” “Kuu-neesama, do you hate Cyril-niisama?” She asks me every day during training, looking like she is about to cry. So I decided to tell you everything.」

… It seems that the ever-attentive Yukino has been working behind the scenes. Next time, I should pamper Yukino to the fullest.

By the way, the reward I promised during the war with the Empire has remained unclaimed because Yukino hasn't demanded anything. Maybe I should decide on something on my own and do it for her.

「Well …, I’m late. It hasn't come in a month.」

「What hasn't?」

「I might be… pregnant. My period hasn't come.」

Kuu blurted out in a mosquito-like voice as she turned beet red, she looked as if she had reached her limit.

「That’s why I wanted to avoid doing “that” for a while! What if there are adverse effects? Besides, I was afraid that if I said it, and it turned out to be just a missed period, you would be disappointed. I couldn't say it!」

For a moment, everything went white in my vision. Before I realized it, I had walked up to Kuu, picked her up, and spun her around.

「I see, our child, huh? Well done, Kuu!」

I started spinning around, laughing. Kuu widened her eyes, starting to panic. Even in this state, she was adorable.

「S-Stop, Cyril-kun, it's scary.」

「It's okay; I won't drop you.」contemporary romance

「No, I'm not scared of that. I'm scared of… a miscarriage.」

In an instant, I regained my senses and gently put her down.

「I'm sorry, Kuu.」

「No, I'm happy that you're pleased. I didn't say it because I felt guilty that I got pregnant earlier than Lucy-chan, and I was worried that I might be told to abort. After all, you're the chief of Erucy, and I'm the second wife.」

「Do you think we would do such a terrible thing, Kuu?」

「Normally you wouldn't, but you're the chief!」

At times, a person's position may clash with their own will. But things are different in Erucy.

「It's okay. In Erucy, I am the rule.」

「I feel a little uneasy when you say that so confidently.」

「It's just a joke. I'm not serious. But no one would care about such things, so rest assured.」

A child, huh? What should we name it? If it's a boy…

「Also, it might be a false alarm; it's just that my period hasn't come for a while. I'm happy that you're pleased, but if it's not true, I'm really sorry.」

「I should be able to confirm it if another half month passes. Let's make an official announcement then.」

「Please wait until the last moment for the announcement.」

「Why?」

「It’s only a possibility but, if it's really known that I'm pregnant and the other fire foxes find out, they won't let me go outside.」

「They love you a lot.」

「Yes. Several people will always be around me, making it very difficult for me to move freely. They probably won’t let me train Yukino anymore. Yukino is at the stage where she's growing the most, so it's really fun. Yukino is amazing. Yesterday, she got me with a clean strike. Other than Cyril-kun, only my big brother and Rera have done that.」

「Kuu, let Rera take care of Yukino's training.」

「Why did I have to open my mouth!? Cyril-kun, you're too overprotective.」

Fire foxes' training was in real combat format. This could be bad. If a clean strike hit Kuu's belly, it would be a disaster.

「I hope it's a girl.」

「Do you like girls better?」

「No, if it's a son of both Cyril-kun and me, there might be fierce competition among the fire foxes to marry him.」

I imagined that scene and laughed.

Come to think of it, Kurone and Kemin joked that if Kuu's child was a prince of fire foxes, they would marry him. If a boy is born, he'll probably face more romantic difficulties than I do.

「I really hope Kuu is pregnant.」

Kuu's eyes sparkled when she heard my words.

「Yes!」

She nodded, and for the first time in a while, we flirted a little. In a way the child wouldn’t be affected.
