Chapter Title: My Daughter Is Too Lovable - 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"What did you do while I was gone?"
"Training!"
"By yourself?"
"With Trisha. Got praised by Mama!"
"She already thinks you're great. Silly."
We faced each other and smiled.
As an act of affection, I kneaded Vir's ugly little nose.
"No matter how strong you've gotten, you can't pick fights with Durmhan."
"He's not our enemy anymore. Got it?"
"Vir!"
I'd expected some pushback, but Vir didn't seem to hold any grudge against Durmhan for hurting her.
That fact surprised me a little.
The realization that my familiars were so purely seeking my love...
Lady "Goddess Born from Foam" is delighted.
Vir would commit any act without hesitation if I told her to.
That means if I harbored evil intentions, my familiars would turn evil too.
Anyone might say no parent would use their child for wicked deeds...
But the temptation of power is always dizzying.
Knowing I'm not some saint myself, all I can do is stay cautious—over and over.
One impulsive misstep, and that's the beginning of the end.
"Vir..."
[Strong Anxiety]
[Thinks she hurt mom's feelings]
I silently pulled Vir into a hug.
Vir's mental waves ignited like fireworks in a blaze of intense joy.
"Thank you, Vir. I'm so happy you worked hard."
"Vir!"
"I'll work hard too. So I never make you do bad things."
"Bad things?"
Vir tilted her head.
Since birth, I'd defined right and wrong for her, so "bad things" probably didn't ring any bells.
Bringing mind-corrupted women into the blood realm and breeding them was bad too.
But I'm no trash who delights in creating innocent victims like Amelia.
So I'd never order Vir to harm people.
Lady "Goddess Born from Foam" is laughing.
She thinks what I'm doing is laughable, huh?
Just watch.
"Vir. Mom will push hard too. Lots of sex with the cumdump crowd, make 'em pop out babies."
"Kekeke. Mama. Vir believes!"
Time to build a goblin squad.
Vir as leader, naturally.
To unwaveringly uphold my will, what we need is power.
And what we must guard against is also power.
I left goblin mass-production to Vir and slipped out of the realm with Seina.
"Wow!"
Seina gasped at the blue sky.
"Mom. Is this the outside world?"
"Yeah. The place we were in was just a tiny room."
"Outside's full of countless creatures."
"Whoa... Whoa."
I strolled outside the castle with Seina.
I deliberately avoided the orc camp.
No way did I want to show her mind-corrupted women chanting "dick good" on our rare outing from the blood realm.
A perfectly wholesome time communing with nature.
Alone, it'd be boring as hell, but Seina made it fun.
What parent wouldn't be thrilled watching their adorable daughter bloom with laughter as she runs around?
I couldn't even look away, scared she'd slip out of sight.
"Mom! Look! The tree's huge."
"I see it."
Maybe due to the special pregnancy's effects, she'd absorbed some worldly knowledge at birth.
Trees, flowers, bugs...
Seina clearly knew what she was seeing.
Smart girl. My daughter.
Maybe bring some books next time?
"Hey, Seina. Don't go too far!"
Oh no.
Seina got excited and dashed off the other way.
I hurried after her and spotted a green-eyed beauty with cascading golden hair scooping Seina up.
"Amelia!"
"Oh my. What's wrong? Running over yelling like that."
"Why are you here?!"
"You're the one asking weirdly. I should be asking why you're here."
Ugh.
...Amelia had a point.
Amelia sides with monsters out of conviction.
Her revisiting the orc stronghold wasn't strange.
What was strange was me—a former prisoner—freely wandering with a kid.
Seina glanced anxiously between me and Amelia.
Damn. Can't curse in front of Seina.
I took a deep breath to calm my anger.
"Your soldiers all wiped out already? Here to leech?"
"Heh."
...Amelia's smile had the elegance of savoring fine new tea leaves.
But.
"Took down three villages. Quite the sight, women defeated by orc dick."
"Men struggled to protect wives and daughters, got their necks snapped like your man."
"Stop."
I cut Amelia off.
"Spare me your bragging."
"Put Seina down. Now."
"...Seina? This sweet, gentle child?"
Amelia stroked Seina's hair with a smile.
"Milder temperament than expected for your kid."
"Must be fun raising her."
Tell her to get down?
No. She's terrified.
Stuck, fuming.
"And she's grown this much already... without enough time passing."
"Some strange magic at work."
"This is your third strike. Put Seina down."
"Hehehe..."
As Amelia spun with Seina in her arms...
Seina suddenly vanished from her hold.
...Huh?
Seina was by my side now.
What was that?
Teleport...?
No way.
"..."
Seina hid behind me, glaring at Amelia.
"Mom doesn't like it, so I won't go to aunty."
"A-Aun...ty."
"Pfft!"
Amelia shot me a venomous glare.
"Filthy mouth. Like mother, like daughter."
"Hey, kids say it like they see it. She called you aunty 'cause you look the part."
"Grr...!!"
Amelia's face flushed beet red.
"Anyway. I saw what I needed."
"No idea what you're scheming here, but..."
"Hey. Don't fish for info."
"Got nothing to tell you anyway."
"Hmph."
Amelia didn't back down, raising her voice instead.
"Just watch."
"Keep waffling like that, and you'll be the one who suffers."
"Cut the cliché villain crap. Go check on your soldiers, Amelia."
"Watch your ass at night. Pitiful sight, princess corrupted by pussy-fall to her troops."
Of course, no intention of yielding an inch.
Unintentionally spat vulgarity in front of Seina, but it worked great!
"How dare you...!"
Amelia snapped her fingers, and orc warriors burst out.
I scooped up Seina, prepping to summon Vir.
If it's a fight, bring it.
I've been itching to discipline you!
Beat some sense into you, drag you to bro and make you beg forgiveness.
That's all I can do now.
"Never mind."
What?
Amelia's attitude flipped.
Expected her to charge, but she waved them off and withdrew her warriors.
Before I could speak, she left.
"Mom... sorry."
Oh no.
I hurriedly hugged the sniffling Seina.
"Not your fault, Seina."
"Mom's mad at that aunty. Stop crying."
"Yeah..."
...How'd she do that earlier?
Couldn't bring myself to ask.
Right now, just wanted to comfort Seina.
No matter her specs, she's still a kid.
Can get scared over tiny things.
"Hic."
"Hm?"
Seina hiccuped.
Turning, a massive statue of a figure loomed.
"Durmhan..."
Oh shit.
Haven't fucked all the orcs in the stronghold yet!
Buok didn't get beaten to death already, right?
"Who's that kid, Si-hyeon."
"Ah..."
Not the time to think about the baby in my belly.
"Seina. My daughter."
"Remember? That..."
"Daughter of the man I killed."
"...Uh... yeah..."
One of the guys who gang-raped me with Kain's her dad...
Fuck it. No time for long explanations.
"Yeah..."
Sorry, Kain.
Durmhan approached with a scary face.
"S-Seina's scared. Don't threaten her."
What if he swings at her?
Even if Seina's stronger than she looks, she couldn't handle that.
"Hic."
Durmhan knelt before the hiccuping Seina.
"Sorry for startling you. My face is a bit scary, huh?"
"Hic."
I rubbed Seina's back.
She calmed quickly.
"Seina. It's okay. Mom's f-ri...end."
"Your mom's master."
"Master...?"
"Don't say it like that. She's a kid."
"Slip of the tongue. We're lovers. Not as much as her real dad, but I love your mom dearly."
Ugh. Damn.
Perfect kid-friendly explanation, why am I the one wrecked?
I trembled but endured.
"Apologies again. Sorry for scaring you."
"As amends, take this flower."
Durmhan uprooted a flower from the ground and handed it to Seina.
"...What's this?"
"A gift."
"Gift... First one."
"It's okay to take. Durmhan and Mom..."
"Are lovers. Deeply in love."
"Ugh..."
This bastard...!!
Using the kid to flaunt our love!
Did Seina get it?
"Uncle's Mom's mate..."
Too on-point, speechless.
"What do you like about Mom, Uncle?"
"Her eyes. So pretty."
"Mine look like Mom's too!"
"That's why yours are pretty too."
"Ehehe. Uncle's... um... big!"
"I am pretty big."
"..."
Bittersweet.
They're chatting nicely, why am I the sad one?
"What does Mom like about Uncle?"
Gasp.
Arrow turned to me.
"I-I um..."
Shit.
Help me out, Durmhan!
Can't say "his dick" as reason we date.
"Can't show what Mom likes about Uncle, huh."
"Can when Seina grows up?"
"Sure. Could even teach why Mom likes me..."
"Absolutely not."
"...Th-that's for another time."
"No next time. Touch Seina, no sex for life."
"Wh-what...!!"
"Won't even cling and smooch!"
"Grr!!"
Whew.
Protected my daughter...
"Think I get that Mom likes Uncle!"
"S-Seina...!"
"Yeah. Likes a lot."
Good. Show Seina a harmonious family.
Endure for her emotional growth, Si-hyeon.
"I love your mom and you."
"Me too?"
"How could I not cherish you, with eyes just like the mom I love?"
...Seina's eyes were a perfect copy of mine.
Pretty irises.
Not scrunched in a foul-tempered scowl like mine.
I've smiled prettily at males sometimes—my killer move.
But too much anger means few reasons to smile in reality.
"Ehehe."
Seina, though, smiles so sweetly.
Even got Durmhan smiling.
"Still scared of Uncle?"
"Not at all."
"Good."
Our eyes met.
Things to discuss.
Time to send Seina back.
"Seina. Let's head home."
"Mom?"
"Mom'll come later."
"Okay..."
Sending her alone hurt my heart.
"I'll give you a gift too, Seina."
"From Mom...?"
Seina's eyes sparkled.
Truly jewel-like irises. Same hue as mine, but the pure emotion inside made them breathtakingly beautiful.
Purity incarnate.
Prettiest thing I've made? Seina, no contest.
Second place: this.
A crystal from merging 322 spirits.
A spirit burning blue like a soul flame.
Extracting so many at once left me dizzy.
"For you, Seina."
"Mom worked hard to gather it."
Vir was thrilled getting his.
Would Seina be too?
As a familiar, would she instinctively grasp its meaning?
"Wow...!! Mom's energy feels so strong."
My energy?
Not sure what that meant.
...Dragon Ball or something?
Seina seemed to know how to handle it—reached out, cupped it, absorbed into her chest.
"Love you, Mom!"
We hugged tight, rubbing cheeks.
Turns out cuddly rubs can be pure and lovely.
Instead of "I love you," I squeezed her tight over and over...
And waved her off through the realm portal.
"Cute daughter."
"Born then?"
"Yeah."
"Confident I can care for a human child too."
"Not planning to raise her as your type of bitch?"
"One's enough for me. Si-hyeon."
"Eek!"
Chills everywhere!
"No one can replace you."
Ugh... embarrassing.
The better Durmhan treats me, the more that lowly betrayal-sex thrill revives.
Not now.
Heat rising on its own, womb tattoo surfacing—I cover with my hand.
"A-anyway. You're late? Why?"
"Thought you'd guessed the reason."
"Me?"
"Bringing Amelia delayed me."
"Convincing the stubborn princess took effort."
Ah...
It was Durmhan.
He knew I wanted Amelia.
But... not want like that.
I sighed deeply.
"...Not the outcome you hoped for."
Can't do much facing her now anyway.
No open brawls in orc stronghold.
Amelia's got her backing too.
But maybe not all bad.
Sin-ae can report her location anytime she shows.
Hey. Actually turned out fine?
"No, you did great! Thanks, Durmhan!"
I jumped into his arms voluntarily, bouncing.
Durmhan's sturdy arms wrapped me. Then his hard dick pressed eagerly against me.
"Kept you waiting. To the bedroom now. Raw breeding sex to knock you up."
"Ah... um..."
Am I fucked?
Yeah. Definitely fucked.
