High-Class Mob

Chapter 72: Change

“I-I’m pregnant?”

Mina looked at Vyra’s face and at her belly. Directing the gentle and soft mana of Healing Mage to her belly, Mina began going through her own body trying to find the sign of life.

Her mana began to move and there it was, a sign appeared. Mina looked at Vyra with a blank look, her lips quivering as she formed a smile, “I-it’s true.”

Mina smiled at Vyra. She was happy at the fact, and as smiled, her nausea and the fact that she abruptly overused her mana made Mina’s consciousness fly away.

“Help! Someone, come quickly! Hurry!”

Mina could still hear Vyra’s voice.

Darkness replaced light and Mina lost her consciousness. By the time she woke up, she was already lying on Colt’s bed.

When she opened her eyes, there was Colt by her side. He held onto her hands like she had done for her when he was in a coma.

He looked really worried, the creases on his face twisted as his head was lowered. He is not looking at her but she can tell from touch alone that he was worried.

‘He’s truly someone fascinating, he’s trembling from anxiousness, how cute. Vyra should have already told him that it was merely a headache, right?’

Moving her finger ever so slightly, Colt quickly raised his head.

“Mina!?”

Colt looked at Mina with her eyes already open and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Are you okay? Do you need anything? Dear, do you feel anything amiss? I heard you collapsed in the bathroom, did making pudding for me made you exhausted? It appears that my selfishness has caused you harm. I-I…”

Worried over Mina, Colt brought with him a lot of things. But at the moment he knows not what to do as he could not even act properly around Mina.

Colt was being super extra worried about her condition. She was supposed to be a trained soldier and a healer to boot. She’s very healthy and takes care of herself really well.

Mina is the epitome of health, even her magic is based on being healthy so it was a surprise to see Mina go down in such a manner.

“You don’t have to be so worried; it is just the effect of my pregnancy I will be fine with some rest.”

“Oh is that so, the effect of pregnancy you say…what!? Y-you’re pregnant, is that true?”

Seeing Colt’s reaction made Mina realize that her beloved has yet to be informed, ‘Vyra must have wanted for me to tell him myself.’

With a smile, Mina nodded her head, “It appears that we managed to create a life right before leaving for the trip to the Thunder Tiger Mountains.”

When those words came out of Mina’s mouth for Colt to hear, he was left speechless. Though he had experienced many things since coming here and his heart had beat wildly for many reasons, the happiness he had right now was incomparable to those times.

Holding onto Mina’s hands, Colt clutched it even tighter than before. He was happy, too happy to contain himself as his tears exploded, Colt hugged Mina as his tears rolled before jumping in delight, and running back forth in the room like a child!

“Yeeeeeeeees!” He was delighted.

Though this was already a natural sight, Colt and Mina had only been together for less than half a month.

Colt had been in this world for less than three months and yet he already has a child.

When Colt first told the words “I love you” to Mina when he told her about Filla, his daughter.

At that point, he was still hesitating, trying to evade the ending of death early on. But now, his worry and anxiousness for when she collapsed and experienced something bad is genuine.

Though he had never noticed this, the emotions he shows and bears towards Mina had already changed right before they left the territory of the Edgeworths.

Her way of being there for him, her decisiveness to support him, and the child that was not hers. It was something that had already touched his heart. In truth, Colt was very shocked when Mina accepted that fact for he knew how difficult it was to do.

Back on earth, there are people who undergo remarriages where there is a kid left behind from the previous relationship. Many of these relationships fail because one of the partners cannot accept the so-called package that came with the marriage.

Slowly, they will fall apart and leave.

Mina was supposed to be a yandere, someone who manipulates the one they love so they can keep them for themselves. Anything that gets in the way of that love and affection or even lessens that affection should be pluck away, or so the convention goes.

She should have been the one opposes to the idea of Filla’s existence. And yet Mina was the one who bridged the way for Colt to take Filla back to the manor.

At this time, Colt didn’t know but he was already very much attracted to Mina. His emotions at this time were already true, which was laughable for in the past he would laugh at couples who speak of “love at first sight” or something close to that.

Yet he unknowingly fell for someone without his knowledge not even a week after his arrival in this world.

And after being with her for less than three months, Colt already transformed into someone who is ready to take the life of others so he can save Mina. It was weird, but in this world, before Mina can even take the life of others for his sake, he was the one who took the lives of others so she can live.

Colt didn’t know it but his love for Mina is pretty much on the same level that she has for him.

And right now, as he learns of her being pregnant, his happiness could not be contained and his cheerful laughter echoed in the manor.

After Mina’s little announcement and Colt’s celebration. Colt spent the next few hours doing everything he could for Mina like a butler.

It didn’t matter how little it was, Colt would still do it for Mina. And as the next day came and the time for him and Mina to return to the Edgeworth Fief arrived, Colt had already transformed into a capable butler overnight.

After successfully loading the carriage, Mina boarded together with Colt. Fluff was also inside but its handpicked Generals were nowhere to be found.

When asked, Fluff merely said that they were sent for training. Colt closed the doors of the carriage and left the capital. He arrived with one carriage but left with two.

The other carriage only had one person on board, it was Sera.

And as Colt left the capital, his goals had already been met. He had become well-known for more reasons than one.

And as he left the capital, Colt was already a different person. As for what is to come, not even he knows.
