Chapter 473
“Hehe. You can thank Sis Nao, Master,” Humility replied.
“Nao?”
Lawrend turned his head to Nao curiously.
“I provided the funds,” Nao replied and smiled proudly.
“Wow!”
Lawrend was genuinely surprised and impressed at the two of them. They took their extra time to buy a business. It would help them greatly in this continent.
“I invested Sis Nao’s funds and managed it well until the owners of the inn felt that we could grow this inn better, so she sold it to us,” Humility explained.
“Ohh! I’m proud of you,” Lawrend said.
She was bad at academics, and she wasn’t that talented in magic. It turned out that all of her talents were in business. It was definitely hard for a princess like her to be exposed to it before.
That was why she could only display her talent in it after she was freed from her royal duties.
“Hehe. Thanks!”
Humility stood up, tiptoed to him, and pecked him on the cheeks. She then turned around and hid behind Nao’s shoulder.
“S-Sis Humility…”
Nao felt second-hand embarrassment from her actions. She also wanted to hide from Lawrend’s gaze.
‘So cute…’ Lawrend thought to himself.
He was restraining himself in front of his children. Otherwise, he would have stopped Humility from hiding, and he would have kissed her instead.
“Fufufufu. Sister Humility, you have struck Master’s heartstrings,” Aezel said as she shook her head slowly.
“Ehem. You shouldn’t run around with a baby in your arms,” Lawrend said while he tried to hide the redness of his face.
“I understand, Master,” Humility replied.
She smiled at Courage and swung him around. Courage slowly opened his mouth and smiled at her.
“Did you see mommy pecking daddy on the cheeks?” Humility smiled at him serenely.
Meanwhile, Lawrend felt awkward hearing her call him daddy. He never thought about it before, but it sounded kind of exciting… Maybe he should ask her to call him that next time…
“Alright. Let’s go up,” Lawrend said.
He was curious to learn more about what happened throughout the year that he was practicing magic. He kind of felt disconnected from them as they experienced things together that he didn’t.
It was like he was thrown out of a ship when they were about to arrive at an island. Only when they finished exploring the island did they return to get him out of the sea.
They headed back upstairs. Along the way, the guests eating on the tables would stop eating and stare at their group. Most of their eyes were focused on Humility.
“It was a shame that they already have children,” a man said.
That was the most Lawrend could hear before they entered the long hallway of the inn.
…
“Master, you’re back,” Elena said and smiled at him.
They gathered inside Elena’s room. This way, they can all discuss things together without anyone being left out.
“So, who gave birth first?” Lawrend asked.
And so, they told the story to him, on who gave birth first and what happened during their delivery.
“Master, did you know that most of us thought of you working hard when we were giving birth? Knowing that you are putting all of that effort gave all of us the energy to give birth normally,” Elena said.
Well, it may not be fully true for her. She was a slime, and she easily expanded her vaginal tract to allow the baby to pass through her easily.
But it was not the same for others. Someone like Ramiela had a hard time. She was very pure, and she seldom had sex.
Her vaginal tract was quite tight, but thankfully, she could use light magic. She easily used it to heal herself and the others.
“I really wish I could’ve been there,” Lawrend said.
He felt regretful that he didn’t experience the anxiety that a father would feel when their partner would give birth. He was already expecting it inside his mind when he saw their stomach grow bigger and bigger every day,
“Master, here. This is the ownership of the inn.” Humility placed a scroll of paper into his hand.
“What? No! I won’t take that. It’s your’s and Nao’s hard work. The two of you would be able to manage it better.” Lawrend denied her.
He may have worked in a Top 500 company in his previous world, but that doesn’t mean he was good at business. He was only good at finding a maid cafe no matter how well hidden it was in any city.
“But Sis Nao and I already agreed to give it to you,” Humility said.
“Mm.” Nao nodded her head.
“You will give it to me no matter what?” Lawrend asked.
“Yes.”
“Then, I order the two of you to own it and manage it,” Lawrend replied.
“Ah…”
Humility and Nao felt defeated when they heard his words. She slowly took back the paper scroll and placed it inside her storage ring.
“As for the others, did any other interesting thing happen to any of you?” Lawrend asked.
“I learned more darkness spells,” Aleshia replied.
“I could now teleport!” Ella said.
“I’m already an Arch Mage, and I’m very close to becoming a Grand Mage,” Elena replied.
“I know more lightning spells, Master,” Aezel replied.
She learned her lesson with her fight against Creka. Now, she was capable of using almost a dozen lightning spells. Not to mention, she was also capable of insta-casting them.
“I’m as strong as a High Mage-nyaa,” Amene said.
“And I… Just slept… nyaa?” Grape replied unconfidently.
“…”
Lawrend was speechless at her response.
He then turned his head to the next one.
“I hid from the angels that were looking for me, which is also why I’m wearing a hooded cloak now,” Ramiela replied.
“A-And I made tons of potions to help Master become wealthy!” Nao replied shyly.
The more honest Nao became, the more embarrassed she felt. It was because she was used to hiding the fact that she was a woman. Thus, it felt like she was naked when she was being true to herself.
