“Eh... Emilia, do I have to do this?”

“Of course, this will calm you down.”

“That's true, but.. Why should I stay under this waterfall in this very cold morning.”

“I told you, this is so you can control your emotions.”

“Controlling emotions? I don't think I need it.”

“What you said!” While ascetic under the waterfall that was somehow near this kingdom, I spoke to Emilia.

“Yes, after all I can already control my own emotions.”

“Well, if so.. This exercise is useless.”.

“Ha...” Everything I do here is free. ‘bersin’

---------------------

“This warm ginger.” (Emilia)

“Thank you.” I was lying in my bed, having a fever from the cold waterfall in the morning.

“I didn't think you'd be sick either.”

“I am also human, of course I will be sick if in the cold morning I am told to stay under such a cold waterfall.”

“Ahh... I'm sorry.” I guess Emilia had a good idea, apparently not. If it continues like this. I was very worried about what Lord Wan said to me. ‘You've almost lost your humanity’ If until that happens, I don't know what I'll do next. I didn't know that these two swords had such a risk. No, I should have realized that great power also requires a sacrifice. But I'm late to realize it.

“Emilia, where else?”

“They are working on their respective tasks.”

“Then, how about you?”

“Eh, i... Ah, my task was completed yesterday, so today I have no task.”

“So...” Somehow my body is getting cold. “Cold water bath in the morning, turns out to be unhealthy.” At least that's what I think. “Emilia, can come here for a minute.”

“Eh.. What's up?”

“Come..”.

“Good.” Following my words, Emilia approached me. “Hiroaki, what's up?” He is right next to me right now.

“Hands...”

“My hands?” Slowly Emilia began to stick out her hand.

I clasped his hand and put it on my cheek. “Warm...” It feels very comfortable.

“Hiroaki, your body is very hot. I'll-..”

“Do not go.” I held his hand tightly. I don't know what will happen when I fall asleep, but maybe another part of me will wake up while I'm asleep. Therefore... “Stay here, I will be fine.” I just need someone to accompany me, that's enough.

My eyes are starting to feel heavy. “I'm very sleepy.” It makes me want to close my eyes and sleep. “Emilia, if anything happens to me. Do whatever can stop me, yes.” A dream, a very bad dream I had in that world. And I don't want that to happen, a dream I'm so afraid of.

By the afternoon.

A gentle touch was felt in my head, and because of that I slowly opened my eyes. “Hiroaki, you're up.” When I realized, it turned out that Emilia was stroking my head, and the sensation was similar to that of someone.

“Sorry, you must be here all the time.” Emilia, she must have been here while I slept.

“No problem..”

Gubrakk.

The door of the room opened quite hard. “Papa.” And it turned out to be Inori, she came here.

“Inori, what's up?”

“Mama Ai...” Seeing her slightly panicked attitude, made me panic too.

I try to slowly get out of bed. “Don't, you still haven't recovered. Just take a break, let me see it.” Emilia kept me from leaving the room.

“Good.” I followed him, and lay back down.

“Good.” Emilia left and Inori took my place.

Inori is approaching me. “Inori, what happened?”

“Mama Ai nausea.”

“Mual-nausea, what's poisoning? But, if it is true as it is. Who, and most importantly, what is the purpose. Why only Ai.” All sorts of questions instantly popped into my head. “Ahh... Shit.” I don't know why I feel sleepy again when I just wake up. “Inori, if anything happens. Can you wake your papa in-..” I immediately go back to sleep asleep.

The royal sky palace of the god Sha.

“A minute, yes..” Lord Sha was muttering.

“Sha, what's up?”

“Ahh... Nothing.”

“Sorry to keep you waiting, here's the snack.”

“Ah... Thank you. (eat a snack) Hmmm... I expected your snacks are very good.”

“Barakkah. Thank ye. Oh yeah, not now it's time you told him.”

“Hmm... I don't think need.”

“Why?”

“He will know for himself in a moment, after all if I tell him. Isn't that not a surprise for him.”

“So. True too, it is better to know it yourself after all it is very happy news.”

“God Yu, for the next human duty.” (God Rai)

“God Sha has thought about it.”

“And now, where's that god damn thing. Not coming to this important meeting, he was very very disappointing.” (God Ra)

“Let the god Ra, this meeting is an unofficial meeting. So it is only natural that the god Sha did not come, after all there are some gods who also did not come to this meeting. So, it won't be a big deal.” (God Yu)

“God Yu, you always defend him. Stop pampering him.” (God Ken)

“Haa. So, what is the reason for this unofficial gathering being held. I don't have much time.” (God Nii)

“Good. I'll start explaining, about what will be discussed in this meeting.” (God Ken)

Pretty sunny afternoon.

“Really?”

“Iya, I said the truth.” I don't know why I'm so happy today, I can't be so happy. “Ai pregnant..”.

Yeah, I'm 18 this year. I'm going to be a father, maybe it's a little strange but in this world it's not. Something like that could happen.

After hearing that, I went straight to Ai's room.

-------------------

Room Ai.

“Ai, is that true.”

He smiled when he saw me and one word of his speech made me very happy. “Ya.”

After hearing that, I didn't know what other expressions I could put out. “B-So, yes.” This pleasure, churned along with the happiness I felt. “Thanks..”.

“No need to thank, and remove those tears.”

“Ah... M-Sorry.” I was so happy I didn't realize my tears were flowing.

“I will take care of him, and I am sure he will one day become a great and strong person like you.”
