There was a lot to prepare before climbing the snow-capped mountains. First off, I needed to stockpile enough firewood at home before departure, gather medicinal herbs in case of emergencies, and pack jerky as emergency rations.
It was tight on time, but with Camilla's aura training session canceled, I had some breathing room. That didn't mean I felt mentally at ease, though.
'Of all things, a troll that's immune to poison.'
Trolls.
Monsters with tenacious vitality, higher intelligence than yetis, and a habit of living in groups.
They could be called the second-most dreaded monsters after ogres, who held strong sway in the Dark Forest.
On top of that, I had zero information on trolls. Just some sketchy details I'd heard verbally from Dad.
'Haah... Guess I won't be sleeping tonight.'
As I inspected my gear.
"Honey, aren't you going to bed?"
Chloe came to the shed where I was.
"It's cold out here—why'd you come?"
"I can't just rest while you're worrying alone, honey."
"But you're not alone anymore."
Chloe's belly was now noticeably swollen. Seeing my wife gradually taking on the form of a mother to our child filled me with worry.
I needed to step up as a proper father too.
Could I do as well as my adoptive father Ian? Could I raise our child as wisely as my father from my previous life?
Apparently, those thoughts weren't just mine. Chloe suddenly clung to me and apologized in a small voice.
"I'm sorry. For not being able to help."
"What are you talking about? Just having you here gives me strength."
"But I still can't do anything for you like I used to."
"Chloe..."
Her trembling hand indirectly showed how anxious she was. I took hold of Chloe's shaking hand.
And shared my warmth so she wouldn't feel cold.
"I could stay here because I love you, Chloe."
"Honey..."
"It's you right now who shaped me. So..."
As I spoke, her lips caught my eye, and out of habit, I kissed Chloe. After a moment of silence,
I smiled and gently touched her belly.
"Accept my love, then."
"Yes, I'll take it."
This time, Chloe leaned in for a kiss, deeper than before.
Before long, we began craving each other.
With that, I carried Chloe to the bedroom.
She was still pregnant, but in the stable phase where intimacy was possible. Of course, nothing too rough like usual.
"Wait a sec."
Once in the room, Chloe extinguished the candle first, then began carefully undressing.
But her bulging belly embarrassed her, it seemed. She tried to cover it with her hand.
I stopped her and said,
"Don't cover it. It's the fruit of our love."
"Honey..."
With that, I kissed her once more and gently laid her on the bed.
I began caressing her slowly.
Starting with her breasts. They were larger than before, feeling different from the past.
Softer, more voluptuous.
Knowing this change came from me impregnating her made blood rush below.
Chloe sensed it too. She knelt before me and cautiously reached out, stroking my hardened member with her hand.
Then slowly took it into her mouth.
"Slurp... schlurp."
As lewd sounds came from her mouth, the pleasure stimulating my glans intensified.
"Ngh... I'm gonna cum! Chloe."
"Yes, honey. Cum for me."
Chloe opened her mouth wide as she spoke.
I aimed for her mouth and ejaculated. But my aim sucked—more than half ended up on her face instead.
"Sorry."
"It's fine."
Chloe closed her eyes and wiped the semen from her face with her hand. Whether to tease me or because she truly enjoyed it, she gathered the semen in her mouth and
gulp.
swallowed it right in front of me.
Seeing my wife like that made my member harden again, despite just finishing.
"Hehe, still full of energy, huh?"
"All because of you, Chloe."
I slipped my hand between her thighs.
Love juices were flowing so much, no foreplay needed.
"Getting hornier by the day, driving your husband mad every night."
"That's how much I love you."
Her straightforward confession caught me off guard.
"I want you to look at me, honey."
"I will. I'll love you forever, Chloe."
Seeing her pussy ready without need for more caressing, I adjusted our position so as not to burden her pregnant body, then slowly inserted.
Chloe's back arched like a bow.
"Your cock, honey..."
Her moans spilled out with hot breaths.
I wanted to thrust like a beast right then, but mindful of the baby, I moved carefully.
Unlike usual, it was slow and drawn-out sex, but that let me truly feel our connection.
"Honey, kiss me."
"Yeah, Chloe."
Maybe from that ticklish sensation. For the first time, Chloe begged me mid-act.
"Deeper... I want to feel you more."
"Like this?"
"Yesss~"
She must have pent-up lust from not doing it lately.
I moved my hips as she asked, and each time, Chloe squirted her juices and climaxed.
Seeing her like that brought me mental pleasure too. My hips trembled from the rising urge to cum.
"Cum inside."
Chloe pulled me close as she said it, and I moved carefully so as not to burden her.
"Hngh!"
With that, I ejaculated inside the pregnant Chloe.
"Hah... hah... You okay?"
Tenser than usual,
I felt unexpectedly tired and checked on Chloe.
With an ecstatic expression, she whispered in my ear.
"I want to stay like this longer."
"Got it."
And so, we spent the deepening night feeling each other's love.
...
Thus, three days passed in a flash.
"I'm off."
"Honey, come back safe."
Chloe, belly swollen, saw me off. I felt pathetic for always worrying her like this. Yet I felt her love in how deeply she cared.
"I'll return without a scratch."
"I'll wait, believing in you."
"Oppa, don't forget the souvenir."
"Yeah, I'll bring something fun."
Chloe reluctantly let me go since I had to leave. Clia teased me like always, Elsia saw me off silently but with worry in her eyes. Surprisingly, little Elin didn't seem concerned.
She'd seen me fight a few times, so she must realize I'm not easy to kill.
Leaving home, I headed straight to Tom's.
"No worries from me. You'll handle it fine."
Tom bolstered my confidence as a fellow man, and Petra rummaged around before handing me something.
"Here."
"What's this?"
What Petra gave me was a black shield.
"Figured I couldn't make a better weapon than your sword anyway, so I made a shield."
"Material's blackwood mixed with steel, right? But what's with these grooves? Too intricate for just decoration."
"Referenced the old man's black bow. And they're not patterns—they're gaps to deflect attacks."
"I see. Thanks. I'll put it to good use."
"Yaaawn... Gramps, I'm heading home first."
Petra yawned and went inside.
"Tsk tsk, Petra's no good at being honest."
"Must've been tough making this."
"Well, three days straight without sleep. She's beat."
"That much..."
Didn't expect Petra to go so far for me. Gotta repay her when I get the chance.
'Blacksmith, so rare materials would thrill her, huh?'
I'll hit the giant ent nest again on the way back.
Next, I visited Carlson.
"Taking care of my family again."
"Don't worry."
Carlson's condition wasn't great, frankly. Exhausted from Camilla's brutal training. But his expression was bright. Must've reached that long-dreamed realm.
'Not like he's suddenly Black Wolf level, though.'
Just a step forward. Still, that should be enough to protect the village while I'm gone.
'Only yetis lurking near the village lately anyway.'
After briefing Carlson on yetis, I headed to the Village Chief's.
"Finished your goodbyes?"
Helen, staying at the chief's for a bit, sipped herbal tea while waiting. Annoyingly smug, but her striking beauty made it hard to get mad. Damn that killer looks.
I sighed and looked at Helen.
"Yeah. Let's go, to that damn snow mountain."
