Chapter Title: Pregnancy Confirmed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"It seems to have happened."
Toward the end of my workday, Erina entered my office, her face flushed red as she said that. Elves must be able to tell right away when they're pregnant. Or maybe they had some kind of magic pregnancy test? I gathered up the stacks of documents on my desk and said to her,
"Congratulations."
If a child was on the way, it was certainly worth celebrating. It wasn't like I was going to raise it anyway, and there'd be no need for me to claim it as mine if anyone asked. I never imagined I'd get to enjoy consequence-free pleasure in this world, but hey, if we both had our fun, then good times were good times.
Over the past ten days, we'd tried just about every position imaginable. Erina was such a great lay that even the original Aei would be jealous. If there'd been a review window, I'd have given her five stars and written, 'Left fully satisfied ^^', and if I'd marked her thighs with cum every time we fucked, they'd have been pitch black by now.
Erina replied to my dry congratulations with a tone just as indifferent. She still seemed unsure if getting pregnant was the right thing to do.
"Yeah... it's worth celebrating, I suppose. Not sure if I should be thanking you for it, though."
"Work's wrapping up now."
"Y-yeah. It's finally over. To be honest, your creepy sex was nothing but painful."
She still had a mouth on her. Every day she'd say crap like that, but the moment I came in, she'd spread willingly. Still, I had no intention of aggressively pursuing sex with Erina anymore. There was no pretext for it now. Sure, I felt a bit disappointed, but if I pushed for it here, I'd just look like a sex maniac. That wouldn't do. I'd only helped with the 'baby-making', after all.
"The real father is you, though. If you want, you're welcome to visit the Elven Kingdom anytime."
"My child?"
Erina gave me a somewhat baffled look in response.
"Yeah. It is your kid, after all, right?"
"No. That child belongs to Hero Aei and Princess Erina."
"You bastard."
Erina shook her head as if utterly fed up. I had zero interest in claiming parental rights over the kid. Even if Aei dropped dead, it would still be Erina and Aei's child. After muttering to herself for a bit, Erina glanced at the now much-thinner stack of documents on my desk and asked,
"The workload's lightened up a lot."
"Yes. We've finished assigning everyone coming into the village, and distributed all the farmland and houses. Being a lord sure is tough."
"Especially with monsters showing up this much, which is rare. To be frank, I want to praise your efforts in protecting this small territory unscathed."
"Feel free to praise me all you want. I like compliments."
Erina bristled again at my words. She seemed extra irritable today.
"That's exactly why I can't say nice things to you— that arrogant attitude. How can a priest be so unserious and immoral?"
Erina, a married woman who'd fooled around with another man and gotten knocked up, was lecturing me on morality. I knew just the remedy to shut her up. A letter had arrived that very morning in the hero's name.
In truth, when parting with the hero, Erina had said she'd investigate in the Elven Kingdom, but he apparently didn't know her address there. The envelope clearly read, 'Please deliver to Princess Erina of the Elven Kingdom.'
The Elven Kingdom discarded most letters from the human side, only allowing in those stamped by a lord or higher, or written in Elvish.
"Oh, right—a letter came from the hero."
"A letter? When?"
"This morning."
"Why didn't you say so sooner?!"
Erina snatched the letter I was waving around and hastily tore it open. She read the contents and let out a relieved sigh, stroking her chest. Her ears were twitching happily—she was clearly thrilled. It was something I'd noticed during sex: her ears moved when she was in a good mood.
"What's it say?"
"Ah... Aei."
Erina's face was full of emotion as she stroked her chest again. She looked just like a mother receiving a letter from her long-lost son saying, 'I'm safe.' Truth be told, I hadn't expected Aei to send a letter at all, so I was a little surprised myself.
The Aei in the game was a real meathead who knew nothing beyond sex and macho confessions. Had turning into a woman made him more sensitive? I started reading the letter over her shoulder.
- Erina. I'm riding a carriage to the sea right now. I figured I could uncover the secret to the medicine that turns men back in the trading city.
Remember? When we first met, we went to the stream to disinfect my wounds. As you washed your feet by the stream, you told me you could've escaped without my help. Erina, you've always been proud and brave, even without me.
Erina. Is it too much self-confidence to think you're missing me, losing sleep over news of me? I hope you aren't worried about me, but at the same time, I want you to be thinking of me.
Erina. I'm riding a carriage to the sea right now. They say there's a jewelry box made of beautiful shells here. I'll buy one as a gift when I return. I miss you.
"He says he's heading to a trading city by the sea."
"He must think he can find the medicine that turns him back into a man there, right?"
Erina rejoiced for a while, then rubbed her belly with an anxious expression. It was hard to tell if she wanted Aei to find the male-restoring potion or not—her face was that conflicted.
"There's no such medicine in the world."
Who the hell would make a porn game where the main heroine turns into a dude? A TS potion turning a guy into a girl made sense, but the reverse? No developer would touch that.
"Aren't you jumping to conclusions? Aei will definitely bring back the medicine."
"If he does, will you get rid of the baby?"
Erina clamped her mouth shut and clutched her belly. Her face paled, then flushed again.
"...Ridiculous. Are you really a priest?"
"I didn't say I'd abort it. Princess. I'm just curious about your intentions."
"That's..."
Erina fell silent and averted her gaze. She'd definitely just hesitated. She shook her head firmly and replied,
"No. It's my choice, my child, after all."
Honestly, I was curious if she'd buy the nonsense that the hero used magic to impregnate her. If he was seriously hunting for a male-restoring potion, he'd probably believe in conception magic too.
"So, what now?"
"I'll watch how things progress and head back to the Elven Kingdom first."
"Not with the hero?"
"How do you think Aei would feel if he knew I got pregnant while with you?"
"He'd make the rational assumption."
"If you so much as breathe a word to Aei, I'll kill you and..."
Erina flared up again. That was one reason teasing her was so fun. I waved my hand to calm her, and she sighed deeply, shaking her head.
"Really, you're such a weirdo."
I stood up from my desk. Erina was murmuring with her eyes closed when she suddenly noticed me approaching and opened her eyes wide in surprise. Ignoring her reaction, I kissed her.
"Mmph? Mmm? Mmmph..."
Erina flinched in resistance for a moment before parting her lips and accepting my kiss. After a long tangle of tongues, she pulled hers out of my mouth and let saliva drip to the floor. Hiding her flushed, aroused face with her hand, she said,
"We don't... need to do this anymore, do we?"
"Are you sure you're pregnant?"
"W-well..."
"Periods can be late sometimes. Even by a few days."
I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and whispered. Erina nodded, her face heating up.
"Right. They can be late by a few days."
"So, we should make sure, right? For the job?"
"Yeah. For the job... This is just work..."
I sealed her lips again. Kneading her ass and breasts, I toyed with her body to my heart's content. Trembling like an aspen as she climaxed, Erina licked my lips and said,
"Let's go to the room. The last one on the left. My room."
I grinned and nodded. It was just work, after all. Erina enjoyed the sex. I ravished her as I pleased, and she lost herself in my body, moaning wildly. The last room on the left.
No one came to this out-of-the-way spot. Only the voices of ecstasy echoing late into the night betrayed the room's secrets.
"Slurp... slurp... ahh... mmph... mmmph..."
Erina bobbed her head vigorously with my cock in her mouth. Stroking her hair, I asked,
"Does this have anything to do with making a baby?"
"Mmph... slurp... You said this was the way to get you hard quick... I-I'm just doing what I have to."
Erina spouted nonsense that was basically an excuse while shaking her head diligently. I lightly shook my now rock-hard cock, and she got on all fours, presenting her ass. Aligning my member with her exposed slit, I resumed my thrusting.
"Ahhng! Ng! Ahhng! Yes! Ahh! Ah! Ahh! More! More! Ung!"
Erina moaned as my cock pounded into her. Slap slap. The sound of flesh colliding filled the last room on the left.
"More...! Give it to me more... ahng...! Ng...! Ahng... so good...!"
As I moved my hips, the hero's letter suddenly came to mind. Comparing its contents to Erina's current state made for the funniest story ever. What had it said again?
- Erina, you've always been proud and brave, even without me.
"Ahng! Ng... deeper, deeper... ung...! Ahng...! So good... ahhh!!"
- Erina. Is it too much self-confidence to think you're missing me, losing sleep over news of me?
"Inside... cum inside...! Ung... deep... ahh... ahhhh...! Ng..."
- I hope you aren't worried about me, but at the same time, I want you to be thinking of me.
"Ahhhh!!"
The hero's letter still lay on my desk.
