Book 11: Chapter 3: Sage and Maid
“Goodeve, Tina.”
I waited for Tina in the bed as usual, and she came after finishing her chores.
“Sorry for the wait, Halt-sama.”
“No prob. Alright, let’s sleep?”
“It’s Luna’s day today, isn’t it? Shouldn’t we wait for her?”
Tina would sleep beside me on my left side, and the rest of my wives would sleep on my right side by turns every night.
Usually, I would wait for Tina and the wife who was supposed to sleep with me that night unless it got too late, but —
It was different for today.
“It’s only the two of us for tonight, Tina.”
“Is Luna not feeling well?”
“No. I asked Luna to let us sleep together tonight, just the two of us.”
“I-I see…”
Tina must’ve seen through my intentions.
Her face turned beet red.
“Then, please excuse me.”
“Hm.”
I turned the blanket and Tina slid in.
“Your feet are cold, Tina.”
“I-I’m sorry.”
Glendale’s climate was warm all year round, but lately, the mornings and evenings had gotten a bit chilly since the Blizzard Dragon had been in this area lately, apparently.
Tina had taken a bath after finishing her chores before she came to my room, but her hands and feet seemed to have gotten cold while she was on her way here.
“You can come closer to me. Tina’s body feels cool, and it’s nice.”
I had been reading a book on the bed while waiting for Tina, so the blankets were toasty from my body heat. That’s why Tina’s temperature was perfect.
“...Is it alright?”
“Yup. Come ‘ere.”
I embraced Tina.
Cold.
Most of my wives were former royalty, spirits and a demon king, so there was almost no one who could perfectly do the house chores aside from Tina.
Luna and Akari might be the exception.
Tina had patiently and thoroughly guided those former royalty and demon king, so recently, everyone could do a great job.
Her burden must’ve been lighter because of that, but Tina didn’t change at all from how she was in the past. She still took care of me as my exclusive maid, and she was also the one who did the most chores.
It was a habit that had been so ingrained in her that she just couldn’t stop it, apparently.
Her maid outfit looked really cute on her, and the sight of her had become as natural to me as breathing, so continuing like this didn’t sound so bad to me.
“Thanks for the hard work with the chores today, as always.”
“No, that’s…”
I patted her head while hugging her. Tina circled her arms around me and gave me a squeeze.
I could see how happy she was.
And… her soft things were glued on me, and it felt so great.
“Halt-sama, can you give me more of your warmth?”
“Yup, it’s fine.”
Tina entwined her legs with mine.
Her nightgown climbed up.
It was extremely erotic.
“Tina.”
“H-Halt-sama.”
We kept on kissing each other with our bodies glued together.
When I saw her intoxicated appearance, I couldn’t endure it anymore, so I went on top of her.
“Can I?”
That’s the only thing I managed to say, but Tina gave me a small nod with her face averted from me.
──***──
Tina and I went all the way for the first time.
Man, that was heaven.
Tina had been way too seductive while looking so dishevelled that —
I probably went a bit overboard.contemporary romance
Is she alright?
“...Halt-sama.”
I was anxiously staring at Tina’s face, when she called out to me.
“Tina, are you alright? Sorry. It felt so good, I couldn’t hold back.”
“T-That’s alright. Ahm… I’m on cloud nine right now.”
She seemed fine, although her complexion looked excellent for some reason.
“Halt-sama…You have something you want to tell me, don’t you?”
Tina stared right into my eyes while asking me that.
As expected.
She knew.
It was true that I couldn’t hold back anymore, but there was another reason why I went all the way with her.
“I want to go to Evil God’s place.”
“...That magic circle.”
Yeah. I knew it, Tina already had an idea.
“Right. I stuck a teleportation marker on a girl that had the aura of the Evil God’s close aide. I already did all the preparations, so I could go there anytime.”
“Halt-sama, he’s the deity that casted the curse on you, isn’t he? Wouldn’t that be… too dangerous?”
“It shouldn’t be that dangerous if I’m only going there to meet him. But then, I want to punch him, even if it’s just once.”
There probably won’t be any problem if I just go there to meet him, chat for a bit, then return back home.
But, if I were to attack him then it would be a different matter.
He’s the deity who granted me the power to become the strongest person in this world, after all.
He could take it all back.
There’s a huge possibility that he would really cast the [Fixed Status Upper Limit Curse] correctly, or even cast a much more horrendous curse on me this time around.
“Evil God-sama took Haruto-sama’s life, so I, too, cannot forgive him. However, isn’t it also because of him that Halt-sama and I can be together again?”
Yeah, she’s right.
That’s also what I thought.
“Yeah, Evil God did transmigrate me. But, the only reason I can return here was because Creator God-sama bestowed [Good Fortune] on me while I was still Haruto.”
Evil God was the one who killed me.
Creator God-sama’s power granted my wish to return to this world.
“I’m grateful to Evil God. Still, I wanted to take revenge on him for killing me.”
I had been thinking about that all this time.
“You’re going, no matter what?”
“Yup.”
“...Are you leaving me and this child?”
…W-What?
“Halt-sama’s child. Are you fine leaving not only me, but this child as well?”
Tina caressed her stomach while saying that.
“Wait, wait, wait. There’s no way just one round —”
“The long-lived elves are a race that have difficulty bearing children. However, I — no, we wanted to turn that chance into something set in stone, so we learned a certain secret art.”
“N-No way.”
“With Luna’s help, we searched for a spell that would turn our bodies fully capable of bearing children in the grimoire written during the creation of the world.”
…Seriously?
“Thus, I am now with a child, and it’s ours, Halt-sama.”
Tina held my hand and put it on her stomach.
“Will you still go to Evil God-sama’s place?”
“....”
Am I dreaming?
I’m going to be a father. Me.
I had prepared a lot of things so that I could go to Evil God’s place.
I ensured that it’d still be fine somehow, in the worst case scenario that I died.
Still, I wanted to see my own child with my own eyes.
I thought my resolve was already rock solid, but now I started to waver.
Tina and my child, huh.
That child would probably be adorable.
“I understand. Then, please let me and this child come with you.”
“Eh.”
“I thought Halt-sama would give up as soon as you heard that you have a child. However, it’s obvious that you still cannot decide. That’s just how strong your resolve had been.”
Tina hugged me.
She then whispered in my ear.
“If you cannot let go of your revenge against Evil God-sama, then I am will to follow you, even to the ends of the earth. You won’t do something like die and leave your wife and child alone, right, Halt-sama?”
“Y-Yeah.”
“Your wife and child are watching you. You will never lose against someone like the Evil God, right? Halt-sama?”
“Y-Yes! You are absolutely right!”
Tina let go after listening to my reply.
Her smile was dazzling as she beamed at me.
However, I could keenly feel the overwhelming bloodlust behind that sweet smile.
“Well then, Halt-sama. Let’s go obliterate the Evil God who is the root of all things bad.”
