Chapter 217 - Great News!

Ryuu appeared back home where he was able to find Kie in the garden talking to Kanae and Shinobu. Kie was not the only one pregnant but Kanae, Shinobu considering the two had lasted more than anyone else and Mitsuri who wanted to have her family for the longest for her clan. She was currently cooking inside the house with Cha Hae-in and Jin-Ah and almost tearing up looking at them. The rest luckily wasn't pregnant, only them. 

He had grown enough to see through the power of his children and understand that they are not human by nature now. 

They are higher and can be considered demigods along with whatever race they would end up as. The embryo growing inside them was rapidly growing and estimated that they'll give birth within 3 months while his children will reach adulthood by another 2 years. 

Ryuu didn't know what to feel and immediately walked towards them. They saw him arrive and were about to greet him when he suddenly hugged them, making the two confused while Kie vaguely guessed the reason and Kanae asked.

"Ryuu-Kun what's the matter?"

Ryuu tightened the hug and made Mitsuri join in to talk about the situation and soon she arrived with another Ryuu who soon disappeared looking at them confused as made them all sit down wanting to know what's going on. 

He continued to observe the life growing inside them and understood the nature of their children. Ryuu could see that Kie and Kanae were pregnant with his daughters while Mitsuri and Shinobu were pregnant with his son. The first one to speak was Mitsuri.

"What's goin on, Ryuu? You seem oddly happy and excited?"

Being soon to be Goddess having changed her magic to Love that can conjure energy's made from emotion that is mostly love and the more love she gets the more power she can grow. Kanae nodded and said.

"Is there another mission or something?"

Ryuu shook his head while making them even more confused and Shinobu asked.

"Then why are you so giggity?"

He smiled softly and said.

"Earlier I decided to get used to my power and gain all of it. The result was splendid but that is not the reason why I'm excited but…."

Ryuu paused for a moment thinking about his next words and said.

"Because the four of you are pregnant."

A moment of silence echoed through the Garden while they tried to process what he just said and soon Mitsuri began to tear up and said.

"W-What!? A-Are you serious, R-Ryuu!?"

She always wanted to be a mother but was unable to because of her job as Hashira. This made her extremely happy to hear that her greatest wish is coming through and stared at Ryuu in disbelief as he nodded.

"Yes, I confirmed seeing the sign of life inside you!"

Ryuu's heart was pounding as well as the girls unable to contain their happiness and wanted to celebrate and announce it to the other girls. Kanae softly smiled and stood up to kiss Ryuu because she couldn't believe that her life would one day reach a point where she could be a mother when her life should have ended long ago. 

The man before her who revived him and allowed her to be reunited with her sister and finally lived in the warmth of his embraces. And now, the gift of life born from their love. 

"I-I don't know what to say, I am so happy…you were given an opportunity to experience being a mother even though my life should have long ended."

Ryuu wiped the tears in her eyes and kissed her forehead while Kanae rubbed her stomach and the rest of the girls did the same. Few minutes later, they finally calm down and Ryuu continues to speak.

"I know all of you are eager to tell the others but let's not tell for the time being. Or there will be another massive orgy."

They giggled while he rubbed the back of his head and said.

"That aside, we should tell them once I got to tell my parents about all of you."

The girls nodded as Ryuu continued his words. 

"Actually there are a few things I found out about our children."

They listened, interested in finding out what makes their children special since they know Ryuu isn't human anymore and it is understandable to know their children won't be human.

"Normally it takes 9 months for people to give birth and mature around a few decades but our child is likely to be born in 3 months or so while reaching adulthood around 1 to 3 years or even much quicker."

The girls were a bit surprised hearing his words since they didn't expect they'll give birth so fast. Kie a bit worried and said.

"So fast!? I'm worried that they might not enjoy being a child."

Ryuu put his hands on her shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, they will grow healthy. And I can't use my power to stop their development and can only give the best for them."

Kie nodded while Ryuu continued.

"Though, I'm not sure if it applies to going to another mission but it's best if you don't join until then."

They nodded since they won't fight if they are pregnant but they're body is stronger than an average human therefore wasn't that scared and still wanted to join him. The girls nodded while Mitsuri asked.

"Do you know what our child is going to be? I do want to have a son and inherit my family name if it's alright with Ryuu."

Ryuu nodded and said.

"I know but are you sure all of you want to know if our child is a boy or a girl?"

They all nodded at the same time as Ryuu nodded and crossed his arms before telling them.

"Well, Kanae and Kie, our child will be a girl while Mitsuri and Shinobu our child is going to be a boy."

The girls couldn't believe it as their body was shaken by the news and stroked their abdomen eager to see their child in the world while Ryuu smiled as Shinobu began to speak.

"Can I name our first child?"

Ryuu nodded since he doesn't mind if they name them or him since in the end it's their child. Shinobu began to think while Kanae and Mitsuri asked the same and Ryuu didn't.

"I've decided, our child will be Ayashi and hope he follows his own path as he grows."

He softly smiled putting his hand on her abdomen and started to think of fixing his Dimensional training room and changing it since he plans on doing something since he is nigh omnipotent. Ryuu thought of building a city, a land where his chosen worshiper and citizen will live as he dismantled humanity from the ground up and united them. 

"Ayashi, what a wonderful name."

As he whispered those words, Mitsuri pulled his shirt and turned to face her and said.

"Haru, that's what I decided to name our Son."

She softly said rubbing her abdomen while Ryuu did the same as he did with Shinobu and smiled then turned to Kanae.

"Mai, a simple name and I think it's perfect for her."

He smiled seeing her get excited then turn to Kie.

"Hiromi, you told me the name when we found if it's a boy or a girl."

Ryuu felt his heart pounding in excitement holding each of them In a tight hug and said.

"I vow in my name that I won't fail any of you and our child. I'll protect all of you until the end."

He said that every god and entity who dares gets in his way would perish. Ryuu mentally prepared himself for the responsibility of being a father. He decided not to leave them and prepared for the upcoming birth of their children.

Afterward, Ryuu spent the remaining time with them at the same time with Nezuko who was excited when she learned about the news but Ryuu warned her not to tell the others for the time being.
