Chapter 204: The Mermaid Princess and the Perverted Prince (12)
Characters from the game have appeared in reality.
No, to be precise, I became a character within that reality.
It’s been nearly half a year since I arrived in this world, yet I still live within the gap between the game and reality.
What kind of gap?
‘What happens to these girls when they get old?’
The question of whether this beauty will be maintained as they age.
‘Looking at other characters, aging definitely seems to exist.’
Inside the game.
Elderly characters certainly exist.
Like Bernhard, the head of the Adventurer’s Guild.
Or the witch Barbas, who looks like an old woman.
Besides them, many elderly people exist, and they have aged quite gracefully and beautifully.
‘But they still changed as they got older.’
Old is old.
‘Every being is mortal; they grow old and die.’
Preserving the beauty of youth into old age is something only celebrities or people with very special genes can do.
‘Not everyone becomes an elf, and not everyone is a mechanical lifeform.’
If a youthful appearance lasted for hundreds of years like it does for elves, I might have been more relaxed.
If I were to become something non-human and felt confident I could endure the curse that comes with it, that would be fine.
But even Bernhard and the original Barbas couldn't overcome aging; would my people be any different?
If they were to have children at an advanced age, serious problems could surely arise for both the mother and the child.
For instance.
A woman who was already in poor health.
Finding herself at a crossroads because she has a child in her womb.
If it ends in a stillbirth and both the mother and child die...
Wouldn't it be right to have children while they are at least a bit healthier and younger, at a time when they can endure the pains of childbirth?
It’s not like I lack the wealth or power to raise children!
"I intend to have my women bear children before they get any older. That is the reason for the marriages, and the reason for the succession of the Earldom."
This isn't sudden.
From the very beginning, I advertised that I was looking for a woman to bear my child.
It’s just that no one took it seriously.
"Yoanna. What do you think? Is my thinking strange?"
"Hmm..."
It’s a bit awkward to consult others about this, but with Yoanna, there’s no burden.
"I wouldn't know since I don't have children, but do you truly wish to have them, Young Lord?"
"It’s one of the things I definitely want to do before I die."
"Having children?"
"To be precise, having a child with a woman I love."
Yoanna hasn't had children either.
"Yoanna. Is this topic uncomfortable for you?"
"No. Not at all. I am actually grateful that you sought my advice."
"You are a nurse, after all. Shouldn't you provide some mental care?"
"I thought you just made me wear this as a concept..."
"No. Every time I see you, I find psychological comfort."
The fact that I obtained a being here that I couldn't get before my possession brings peace to my mind and body.
If I could, I’d love to flex on the Knight Captains back in reality, saying, "The Yoanna you guys couldn't pull has become my nurse!!"
"Yoanna. Is it strange that I’m asking you for advice?"
"It is an honor. That you would seek my counsel, Young Lord."
Somehow, Yoanna seems like the kind of person who would offer the most wonderful answers to these life problems.
At least, that’s how I feel.
"Yoanna. Am I wrong?"
"I know what kind of person you are, Young Lord. Even if it were wrong by common sense, you are the type of person who will make it the right answer when looking back on it in the distant future."
"...That’s right."
Yoanna caught my sentiment exactly.
"Regardless of whether others talk shit about it shortening lifespans or whatever, don't you just want to prove sooner that such nonsense was nothing but groundless worry?"
"Exactly."
Someday.
"Is pregnancy a problem? Then I just have to create a situation where it isn't."
I once mentioned something like that to Laura in passing.
—Everything I do from now on is like a time attack.
That’s what I said.
"If there’s no bread, eat cake; if someone becomes pregnant, call another woman to conquer the Infinite Labyrinth. It’s no different from that."
All the plans are already established.
"Participate as hard as possible in the Labyrinth conquest before getting pregnant, and if they do get pregnant, they will stay within Fermaton Castle and do their best with childbirth and postnatal care."
"What will you do if all the Knight Order members end up pregnant?"
"I have to manage it so that at least five people don't get pregnant, so we can maintain a minimum squad."
For instance, by having anal sex like with Yurdias.
For instance, by using sex magic like with Astarotte to convert 100% of the sperm into mana.
For instance, by only engaging in sexual acts other than intercourse to prevent pregnancy, like with Charlotte.
"Whether I run a mission board, create a rotation, or just stick to anal sex, I will always gather enough people to conquer the Infinite Labyrinth."
Or.
Like Laura, who doesn't get pregnant despite daily internal ejaculations through some method of her own, including sex magic.
"I want to always maintain five people to enter the Infinite Labyrinth with the Lewd Prince. Within the limits of not getting pregnant."
"And what if the person in question says they don't want to be pregnant with your child, Young Lord?"
"What? That’s a bit of a shock."
Not wanting to be pregnant with my child?
"Who said that?"
"I'll rephrase."
Yoanna immediately waved her hands.
"I'll give an example. For instance, if one of the core members of the Infinite Labyrinth assault team wants to keep going to the Labyrinth, wouldn't they be excluded from the party if they get pregnant?"
"Of course."
Being pregnant means the blood of Fermaton is dwelling in the womb.
"The act of getting pregnant itself makes it impossible to enter the Infinite Labyrinth. Physically, they could enter. Regardless of whether a Labyrinth rampage occurs or not."
Naturally, if that happened, the Fermaton Infinite Labyrinth would go wild.
Whether it can detect a child in the womb is still unknown, but considering the perverted nature of the Fermaton Infinite Labyrinth, there’s a high probability it would detect my child.
Then a pregnant woman effectively cannot enter.
No woman whose pregnancy is confirmed can enter.
I would stop them first, but everyone else would stand in their way too.
"If they’re pregnant, they absolutely cannot enter the Labyrinth. Even if the squad entering the Labyrinth becomes weaker, I can never send a pregnant woman inside."
"Even if core members like Laura, Serica, and Astarotte are all out?"
"Absolutely. I’m prepared to the point that if everyone gets pregnant, I’ll even form a squad of men."
For the health of the women carrying my children, I am prepared to abandon even the concept of a Harem Knight Order.
"...If someone wants to prove their worth in the Infinite Labyrinth and 'postpones' pregnancy because of that, I’ll accept it. But refusing to have my child? That’s a bit much."
If possible.
Since we’ve had sex.
Shouldn't we have a child?
—A child is the completion of a relationship between a man and a woman.
Sharing love and mental connection is certainly good, but by having a child, a man and a woman evolve from lovers to a married couple.
If possible, I want the woman I’ve had sex with to carry my child.
"There could be various burdens regarding having my child. Just thinking of it now... right."
This land of Fermaton.
The fact that one cannot escape the prison of the curse is quite terrible, more than one might think.
"If I eventually break the curse of Fermaton, and my children can roam the world freely, then there’s no problem with having my child, right?"
"I was thinking of a different issue, but the part you mentioned is certainly a limiting factor to consider when having a child."
"Yeah. A mother cannot leave Fermaton until she gives birth. Because the blood of Fermaton is in her womb."
Previous generations of Fermatons have already proven that with their bodies.
Because there is also the burden of living within this narrow land of Fermaton for a lifetime, women who bear Fermaton’s children end up burdening their offspring with a sin that isn't a sin.
The fact that my child cannot see the world and must live only within Fermaton for their entire life.
The fact that they must become a living totem to maintain the Infinite Labyrinth.
What parent in the world would want their child to live with such a terrible experience for a lifetime?
"More importantly, what was the other issue?"
"Well, when you get pregnant, a child enters the belly, doesn't it?"
"And?"
"...Then wouldn't there be a significant hindrance to having sex?"
"Ha!"
Hindrance?
"There’s no such thing. Do you think I wouldn't be able to get hard for a woman carrying my child?"
"It’s not that, but rather the feeling that the woman might get a bit embarrassed."
"Not at all. On the contrary, I’d be grateful and find her lovely. The fact that she’s carrying my child. And..."
Me.
Ruji Fermaton.
"Do you think I wouldn't be able to have sex with a pregnant woman?"
Having fallen into this medieval fantasy world, I will live my life doing exactly what I want.
"A curiosity has arisen."
I...
"I wonder if the mana milk created by a succubus's sex magic tastes the same as real breast milk, or if it tastes different?"
"......"
He is serious.
