With Ko, we headed to the healing ground next to the barracks.
Perhaps because I and Artemia are there, even if there are people who show up, theyād soon go back.
And Ko didnāt care about such people.
ā¦ā¦this trait might be similar to us.
He might look amiable, but he basically wonāt let others cross his line.
Itās as if heās building a wall with that smile.
Is that why people around them misunderstood Ko who used a different method from Rodokiausā way of blocking the surroundings using his aura?
I already know why weāre called here.
To protect Ko while Rodokiaus is away.
He just called us to be Koās escort.
Otherwise, he wouldnāt ask for our help.
āāuntil the scent emitted by Ko is judged by others to be a āmate scentā.
Itās in our nature that we cannot resist the smell of a mate.
So itās natural for us to think that āthat mate is mineā¦ā.
And we will do anything to get our mate.
If you are deprived of your mate, you will take them back with your life.
Thatās what a person who found their mate will do.
Therefore, itās quite natural for them to try and take away the mate-smelling Ko from Rodokiaus.
ā¦I donāt think they can take him, but thatās how it is.
Even if you are married to someone when you find them, once you find out that you have a mate, youāll file for divorce.
The other party will also move to divorce.
ā¦but I donāt think Rodokiaus will do so, and theyād only be waiting for a future of being killed when they use force to steal Ko.
And, as far as I can see, Ko doesnāt seem to want to part with Rodokiaus.
Heās even fond of us and calls us āfather-in-lawā and āmother-in-lawā.
We also donāt want to be robbed of our cute son.
Thatās why I undertook this secret escort mission for Ko.
I donāt need money.
And we didnāt escort Ko for money.
For Ko, even if weāre retired, we will do our best to scatter the crowd.
It doesnāt matter how many people we kill to protect our cute son.
No one is suitable for Ko.
If they reached out to Ko, just splitting them into eight pieces is not enough.
Iāll cut them into such small pieces that you wonāt even know their beast form.
āFather-in-law? Whatās wrong? Rodo, face, like?ā (You have a face like Rodo?)
āā¦ā¦Nothing.ā
A worried face peeped in and stopped my dangerous thoughts.
(Even so, to have a face like Rodokiausā¦)
Did I have such a murderous face?
I stroked my face unintentionally.
āUhm, mother-in-law. Talk, want.ā
āOh? About what?ā
At that time, Ko called out to Artemia.
He looked restless about itā¦
Is it difficult to say?
ā¦ā¦is it something that makes you shy?
But what can you be shy about?
We donāt have many opportunities to feel that, so Iām not sure.
āHnā¦uhm? Akinist, child, how long, born?ā (Err, how long will an Akinist child be born?)
We lost words for a moment to those words said with a slightly red face.
āā¦Is there a child!?ā
āWe have to celebrate!ā
āNo!ā
However, it seems that he did not have a child.
Ko, who hurriedly denied it, had a troubled face.
āā¦stomach, period, just want to hear.ā (I just wanted to hear how long it will be in the stomach.)
Apparently, he just wanted to ask about the gestation period.
I was wondering if I could see my grandchildren while Iām still aliveā¦
Akinists have such low fertility that theyāre unlikely to be born even at the end of their lives.
This is because even with a mate, their fertility wouldnāt increase rapidly.
Itāll still go up, but itās quite low compared to other races.
ā¦ā¦if Ko and Rodokiaus are happy, I donāt mind if they donāt have children.
āLetās seeā¦is it about three months? ā¦or maybe half a year?ā
āI donāt remember in detail either.ā
Neither Artemia nor I remember how long the gestation period was.
I donāt know much about what happened in such a short period.
It might be faster to ask His Majesty than us.
I think they were really looking forward to Rodokiausā birth.
āAll countries have information about Akinists. I think His Majesty and the Chancellor will know more about it.ā
āā¦ā¦I see.ā
ā¦ā¦do you not want to ask His Majesty?
He had a slightly troubled face.
āIf youāre dissatisfied with Marihect, donāt hesitate to say it, okay?ā
If Ko goes abroad, not to mention Rodokiaus, we will also move with Ko.
āYes. ā¦ā¦but, now, no problem.ā
But Ko just smiled.
Is he just enduring it?
Even if Ko is enduring it, I couldnāt guess it.
Rodokiaus would be the same.
A person who had never been interested in others canāt suddenly read another person.
āIf thereās anything, youāll say it, right?ā
āThank you.ā
Ko said thank you with a smile.
āā As usual, what a cute son.
āFather-in-law, mother-in-law, I love you.ā
No, heās cuter than anyone else.
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
The best in the world.
Cuter than my real son.
I donāt remember Rodokiaus smiling at us, his parents.
Iāve never even seen him smile at someone else.
It seems like heād at least smile at his friendsā¦
āā¦complaints, say, Rodo, ākillā, say. Every time, Ko, stop. Ko, complaints, want him to listen, only. Rodo, deny, want, only. ā¦good, stop, tell for me?ā (When someone complains, Rodo will say ākillā. I stop him every time. When I complain, I just want him to listen. I just want Rodo to deny it. So can you tell him to stop him for me?)
āI canāt.ā
Involuntarily, I answered immediately.
I feel bad for Ko who looked up with a dissatisfied face, but only Ko can stop Rodokiaus.
Rodokiaus never stopped at our words.
If he wonāt listen to Koās words, then itās over.
It wouldnāt even be strange if he killed someone to protect Ko.
No one knew that itās all thanks to Ko that I didnāt hear any rumors about that.
Considering Rodokiausā nature, he should have killed a few.
In fact, I heard that he tried to kill some people.
(But does Ko just want Rodokiaus to listen to his complaintsā¦)
Somehow, he has no greed.
If Ko wants it, how to treat the other party can be decided easily.
Anyone, even if not Rodokiaus, will listen to Koās wishes.
Especially His Majesty.
I can imagine that if he could make Ko owe him a favor, he would raise his hand and rush over.
Wouldnāt it be better to get rid of the dissatisfaction?
āKo, what are you dissatisfied with?ā
What does Ko feel ādissatisfiedā with?
āāa ādissatisfactionā that you just have to listen to.
āā¦ Ko, [Godās messenger], was said. Honorifics, used. Head, lowered. [Ko-sama], said. ā¦ā¦ that, hate. ā¦ā¦lonely.ā (I was called [Godās messenger]. They used honorifics. They lowered their heads. They called me [Ko-sama]. I hate that. It sounded lonely.)
In this way, I ended up seeing Ko smiling with a sad faceā¦
āWho said that, Ko? Who made Ko look like that? Letās erase all of them.ā
*Cracks*ā¦ā¦I found that my reason was running out.
To make my cute son sad, even death is a warm punishment.
āBetter yet, letās destroy them.ā
Artemia is the same as meā¦no, it seems more than that.
When I got up with murderous intentionsāā
I couldnāt move forward.
āā Me and Artemia.
āHate! Stop it!! Please ā¦ā
There was Ko who turned his tearful eyes to us and grabbed our clothes to stop us.
Rodokiaus might have been stopped by Ko in this way.
No one can shake this hand.
āFather-in-law, mother-in-law, kill, donāt say. Destroy, donāt sayā¦Ko, very sad. ā¦..such a thing, I donāt want ā¦ā (Father-in-law, mother-in-law, donāt say kill. Also donāt say destroy, I will be very sad. I donāt want such a thing.)
Looking at the tearful and trembling Ko, I was in a panic.
(W-What should I do ā¦)
I turned to Artemia, but she looked the same as me.
I was thinking of going to kill the one who made Ko sad, but now I have to commit suicide.
āI understand. I get it now so donāt cry. I wonāt go to kill anymore.ā
There is no choice but to do as he said.
I donāt even know how to stop others from crying.
