Nanahoshi's perspective:
Pregnancy... to me, it felt a little... how should I put it? Magical?
Even though I was the one who said I wanted this, watching my belly grow bigger day by day was still rather frightening.
Still, perhaps because of my constitution, I hadn't felt any discomfort so far.
In my previous life, I often heard about people losing their appetites or being in bad moods...
"Black Mama."
"Hm? What's wrong, Lily?"
"Look at this."
Lily handed me a blueprint.
It was the conceptual blueprint for the transportation function of that mana storage device.
Lily was a genius—at least when it came to magic tools.
"Let me see~"
I took the blueprint and studied it for a while.
While I looked over the blueprint, Lily lay sprawled on the table and watched me.
Hmm... I thought Lily was the cutest of all the children. Maybe it was because this little one came to see me every day.
"Lily's idea is pretty good. We can slowly test it out later."
I patted her head.
"Thank you, Black Mama..."
Lily smiled. So cute...
Looking at Lily's smiling face, I found myself inexplicably starting to look forward to it too.
If my child was a girl, she would probably be cute too, right?
After all, my looks... well, they counted as cute, and Rudeus was quite handsome too. Our child should probably be rather good-looking.
Though it didn't matter whether the child was cute or not. It would be best if they were like Lily.
A little smarter~ A little more obedient~ Coming to talk to me about their ideas sometimes, then letting me pat their head.
Of course, it was fine if it was a boy too. As long as he was healthy.
But still...
