Epic of Caterpillar

498 Truhan and Celica\'s Announcemen

Truhan and Celica became flustered, and the two blushed, although Because Truhan was completely red already, it was hard to tell if he was flushing.

"Hm? What is it Celica-chan, Truhan?" asked Zehe, like these two, she used to be a Troll from their same army and held a strong bond with them, it was as if they were all siblings in a sense.

"Ahh… H-How do we say it?" asked Truhan to Celica.

"Well… just… Haha…" laughed Celica, she was quite nervous.

My wives glanced at them with adorableness, as they made a very cute couple.

"What is it?" asked Wagyu.

"Oh? Could it be…?" muttered Kekensha.

"Spit it out! We don\'t have all day to wait for you two" said Oga.

"Come on, don\'t be shy you two. We are all a big family here," I said, reassuring the two.

"Ah, Kireina-sama… yes, I shouldn\'t be so shy…" said Truhan.

"Kireina-sama…" said Celica.

"Are uncle Truhan and auntie Celica too shy, perhaps?" asked Amiphossia.

"Ah, little Amiphossia, you have grown quite a lot since you were born… Since then, I have always wanted to have a child of my own…" said Truhan, with a warm smile patting Celica.

"P-Perhaps we are too shy, yes… it is unbefitting of us since we are so big and muscular and all…" added Celica.

"Yeah, you\'re too big! Do not be shy, you two are packed with muscles! In my tribe, those that have so many muscles never falter or are shy to others!" roared Oga, she did not like the two being overly shy, despite having such imposing presences.

"Oh! I kind of have an idea of what they want to say! Fufufu~ But I will not say it, you two have to! Truhan, Celica, it was about time, isn\'t it?" laughed Nesiphae mischievously.

What is she talking about? What do they have to communicate that it is so hard to muster?

Hmmm…

"Well, are you two going to talk or not?!" shouted Adelle.

"Mama doesn\'t be rude," said Belle.

"Belle?! Ah… well, sorry…" muttered Adelle.

"I kind of have an idea of what\'s going on, guu…" muttered Rimuru.

"What is it mommy?" asked Ailine.

"Wait a bit, my love, let your two uncles say it in person, guu~," said Rimuru, patting Ailine as she was sitting in her lap.

"Mommy, what\'s happening?" asked Vudia, flying around me.

"My dear, let your two uncles say it," I said, grabbing Vudia with one of my slime tentacles and sitting her in my lap.

"Well okay!" said Vudia.

"Mama! I want pudding!" said Nirah, entangling her snake tail around my waist.

"Later, Nirah, let\'s wait for your uncles to talk, okay?" I said.

"Hmm… Okay, mama" said Nirah.

As I calmed down my children, Truhan and Celica\'s emotive expression grew larger… they were glancing at my children with a lot of emotion, Truhan was about to explode in tears, it was quite a funny scene.

Truhan and Celica glanced at each other again, as their emotions leaked out of their bodies in the form of their Auras, the fire and the darkness converged together wildly.

"M-Master Kireina…" said Truhan.

"E-Everyone…" added Celica.

"We are going to have a child!" they said at the same time, breaking into tears while hugging each other.

Everyone froze in time. I included.

That is what I had forgotten about them…

I do not know why my mind had already assumed they had children… that was Wagyu and Kekensha, not them…

Then… finally.

"FINALLY! You two! It\'s about time!" I said, laughing, I flew towards these two stupid giants and hugged them with my arms, extending them like tentacles.

They were like my own family, I was of course happy and proud that their love will finally blossom in the form of a child, their own offspring.

"Oooooh! Master Kireinaaaaaa!" cried Truhan while hugging me tightly.

"Kireina-samaaaaaa! It took so long, but we did it! We did it!" cried Celica, hugging me as well with her immense and muscular arms.

The strength of two giants capable of breaking mountains apart was expressed over me in a double hug. Even with my current endurance and stats, I was slowly crushed over and over. Though there was no pain because of my \'Pain Nullification\' Skill, I felt like I was a piece of dough being squished.

"I knew it," said Nesiphae, smiling.

"Oh, so that was it! Congratulations! I hope that one day I can also have an offspring with my Evan!" said Amiphossia, clapping.

"A-Amiphossia p-please don\'t say those t-things in front of everyone…! …And congratulations to Truhan-sama and Celica-sama" said Evan, who was also present, as he was family too.

"Finally, you two idiots!" laughed Zehe as she flew towards the two giants and hugged them with her Aura\'s giant shadow tentacles. Due to their almost endless amount, the two giants were completely covered in them.

"Oh my~ How wonderful. A new life shall bless our Empire,??? said Alice while celebrating with a cup of my blood.

"So many new lives coming to this world… my children should be hatching soon from their eggs. I am as excited as Celica, fufu" said Mady.

"So that\'s why Celica\'s belly seems a bit bulgy… she has so many muscles, I thought she had just eaten a lot," said Brontes.

"Mommy, will we get new siblings?" asked Vudia.

"Well, it could be considered as siblings, right?" I asked Brontes.

"Yes, I don\'t see why not, we are all a big family in here," said Brontes with a smile.

"Mama, will we get new siblings?" asked Nirah, who was sitting in my chair.

"That\'s right! Here, your pudding, Nirah-chan" I said, giving Nirah a pudding that I had in my Item Box that I always prepare for her every morning. It is made with my blood, so it\'s red. She seems to enjoy my blood pudding despite not being a vampire.

"Ah! Yum!" she said, digging in. She just got to know Truhan and Celica, so she was not as motivated as the rest.

"Oh, I wonder if uncle Truhan and auntie Celica\'s child will be a giant?!" said Valentia.

"I presume that it should be a giant, as both of them are one, sister… I am quite happy for them, they were having troubles with it, but it seems that things got resolved in the end, I can\'t wait for their child to be born…" said Aarae with a happy smile.

"It will be crazy strong though! I will bring it to the dungeons!" added Valentia.

"Sister, you only think about dungeons and fighting, don\'t you?" asked Ryo, sighing.

"I\'ve been in here for a little time, but it seems that Valentia never changes, haha" laughed Ervin.

"I suppose you\'re right; I should know her better… I am his brother after all… Though I do not remember Aunt Gaby being a battle junkie, I do not know from where she got this," said Ryo.

Ervin (Aarae\'s boyfriend) and Ryo had become good friends in a short amount of time, which Aarae was happy about.

"I think it is part of her bloodline to be like this. But she is still a sweet big sister," said Aarae.

"I wonder what race will Truhan and Celica gave birth to?" asked Charlotte.

"Probably something completely new!" said Lilith.

"It will be most likely a new species. With Kireina-sama blessings, the birth of new races is more likely," said Izumi Yuko, the former Heroine of Alchemy, which due to certain events, joined my Empire and was revived as an Undead Manticore. By the way, she had evolved twice since I revived her, and had become a Phantasmal Soul Manticore Alchemist Queen. All of her capabilities had increased, alongside her alchemy skills.

"That is right, it will be most likely a new race of giant, a powerful warrior that will share both Truhan-sama and Celica-sama abilities, Fire and Darkness…" muttered Herbell, who had grown inspired due to the possibilities of Truhan and Celica\'s child, he was sitting near Charlotte and Izumi as they were quite close as companions and acquaintances in the Alchemy and Craftmanship team. He was also considered the father of Zehe, so he was family as well, and most of the time accompanied us in breakfast and dinner.

He joined the war against Geggoron\'s monstrosities yesterday, and due to the experience points earned, he evolved into a Grand Crimson Blood Lich Hell King. Despite his scary appearance, he is very calm and nice, and an outstanding scholar, alchemist, and librarian recognized in the entire Empire.

Redgaria was not present, although I would not mind him joining in, he wasn\'t interested in breakfasts, and barely comes out of his workshop.

We all celebrated together Celica\'s pregnancy, and then, she revealed something else…

"Ah well, the kid will be born in a few days as well… I have been… pregnant for five months actually," she said.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Ah, I didn\'t know this either yesterday… Celica-chan just told me about it… I apologize on her behalf…" said Truhan.

"You might have evolved into a giant, but your brain is still small it seems!" roared Zehe, reprimanding Celica.

"Uwah… Zehe-chan, don\'t get mad!" said Celica.

"I… sigh, anyway, what\'s done is done! Now we have to celebrate, right?" said Zehe.

I was a bit angered. Celica should have told us this from the beginning…

"Well, I can\'t lie that I am a bit angry, but nothing that good booze won\'t cure. Let us forget about this I guess…" I said.

"But why didn\'t you told us this before, Celica?" asked Nesiphae.

"Because… I knew that Truhan would have been too worried… or all of you as well! I would have ended up enclose inside a room or something… I didn\'t want that!" said Celica.

"Eh?! Is that why?! There is not anything wrong with resting while in pregnancy! Though I admit that it is boring…" said Adelle.

"Boring? I enjoy being at home! I guess I am weird…" said Nephiana.

"Chirp, chirp!" said my seven harpy babies, surrounding Nephiana to cheer her up.

"You\'re not weird, Nephiana, I just raised a very lazy daughter," said Kenik, Nephiana\'s father.

"Lazy?! Dad! I am not lazy, chupiii!" protested Nephiana.

"Maybe a bit…" I added.

"Kireina-sama as well?! Chuu… Is your mama lazy, my chicks?" she asked our children.

All seven of them averted their gazes from her.

"Chuu…"

"Ah! Even my own children! Chuupiii!" cried Nephiana.

"Don\'t worry, Nephi, you\'re part of the lazy club, one of us. You\'re not alone in this, my sister," said Nereid.

"Indeed, there is no need to be ashamed. We just enjoy life indoors," said Kjata.

"That\'s right! It is a style of life! No one can come and tell us that is wrong!" said Smilkas.

"Even if… we like to stay at home… it doesn\'t mean that we are lazy… we just like to save our energy," said Ocypete.

"Chuupi! You girls, thanks!" said Nephiana…

I feel like they are making things too over the top now.

We decided to make a celebration tonight.

Yep, another feast.

Blaze was capable of hearing and seeing most things through me, so she was rather emotive as well.

"A new life. How beautiful… I wonder if we could have a child as well, Kireina" she said.

"What?! Wait for a second… you\'re escalating things too quickly!" I protested… having a child with her was... too sudden?

I feel like I am being a bit shameless by thinking things, seeing how many of my wives were impregnated rather fast after meeting them.

I just feel like I have grown out of that phase, and now I want to do things slowly… perhaps due to the exponential size of my family at this point. I just want… to be a bit more careful.

"Hehehe~ It was a joke~! Though I am rather passionate! …Not like my father ever let me have any relationship…" muttered Blaze.

"It must have been hard… well, cheer up, okay?" I said.

"Okay! But eat a bit more of that pie, it\'s delicious!" she said.

"You can taste things through me? Oh my…"

As I ate the pie and celebrated with everyone over Celica\'s pregnancy, the Arachne maids brought more food for everyone.

Wagyu and Kekensha then decided to speak to me about something else.

"Master, in the dungeon that we explored, the god wanted to meet you," said Wagyu.

"Oh?"

"But we told him to wait for now… though we don\'t know if the patience of a god is truly as big as they are…" said Kekensha.

"Well, at the very least you two didn\'t forget about him. I will tell Agatheina to get in contact with him… what was his name?" I said.

"Nyzzet… I think?" said Wagyu.

"Nyzzet, the Dragon God of Thunder" added Kekensha.

"Very well… hello, Agatheina?"

Because Agatheina is my mediator for other gods, I decided to leave the work to her.
