Somehow or Something

"did it"

"Yeah? What?"

"baby"

　On the evening of the day Bertha's pregnancy was discovered, Isla, who visited my craft room, suddenly told me a shocking truth.

"Really?"

"Nn, no doubt. I confirmed it myself."

　Saying that, Isla stroking and rubbing the area below her navel with her small hand.

"Oh, oh ... what is it today? Are you going to make me happy and ascend?"

"Probably a coincidence"

　Kneel in front of Isla, say no, and put your ear to her small belly. Of course, I still can't hear anything. She couldn't help it. She somehow feels like she's finally done it. When I think that new life is living in this small body of Isla, I have a strong feeling that I have done something unreasonable. In fact, even though her body is small, she's older than me, and she's a splendid adult woman in terms of race.

"Will you please me?"

"I couldn't be happier already."

　But this is the fifth person... No, if Harpies are included, it's not even the fifth person. Counting only in my recognition range, is it the fifth person? I can't say anything even if this is called a seed man who is sorry for the world. Ah, I have a hunch that achievements have been released for the first time in a while... I can't see it. Because I don't see

"But it's been going on in a row... You may have heard, but Berta also reported her pregnancy in the same way during the day."

"Hmm, I heard. So I checked my stomach and it was done."

"Examine Your Belly"

"Magic. Pregnancy changes the flow of magical power in the body, so a mage will know right away."

"I see"

　Even at times like this, Isla is calm. It seemed like I was also influenced by such Isla, and my heart was calming down, but immediately after that, something happened that disturbed my heart.

"Mr. Kosuke! Child! I have a child too!"

"What!?"

　An excited Melty rushed in while half shattering the door of the craft room.

　However, Melty, who was about to charge with that momentum, suddenly stopped as if she had hit a wall. Looking at Isla pointing her index finger at Melty, she seems to have stopped Melty's charge with magic.

"Isla? I can't move."

"That's how it is. Kosuke, I, and the baby in my stomach are fragile, so it would be dangerous if they charged with that kind of momentum."

"A baby in your belly?"

"Nn, I'm pregnant too."

　While Isla says that, she makes a peace gesture with her left hand while remaining expressionless. Melty also seems shocked by Isla's confession. That would surprise me. Bertha's case is already well known, so this means that three pregnancies have been discovered in one day.

"It's too much of a coincidence to discover three pregnancies in one day."

"I don't think it's a coincidence."

　I think so, but when I think about that existence that appeared in front of me—it wasn't, but it stopped time and spoke to me, I can't say that it was a coincidence. A guy who stops time and talks to me seems to be able to pull off a feat like this.

"Just in case, can I have Sumeru and Grande, Seraphita-san and Doriada examined as well?"

"N, I don't mind."

"I understand. But please congratulate me on my matter first."

"Of course."

　After this, he continued to send words of thanks and blessings while praising the two until dinner time. I'm really too happy and it looks like it's going to be somehow.

　☆★☆

　In conclusion, I entrusted my work to Mr. Seraphita and Dryada, and during the period when I was flirting from morning to night, all the women I had relationships with were pregnant. Threat accuracy is 100%.

"This is definitely something my ability is affecting..."

　I gave up and opened the status menu to check the achievement. Before I knew it, the number of achievements I didn't know had increased considerably, but I found something that seemed like it in the back of the items.

・ Stallion bastard --: A total of 10 people of the opposite sex and children. * Significantly increased "hit rate". Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

　Absolutely this. Ellen, Amalie, Harpies who gave birth to my child, and Sylphy are ten people. After that, the days from morning to night began... No, maybe the achievements were released while I was dispatched to the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom as a facility.

"It's an auspicious occasion, but I can't help but be happy..."

　Sylphy, who has grasped the situation itself, is making an indescribable expression. The women who got pregnant this time are all women who are close to the center of national management. In other words, even if it is still good now, considering the change in physical condition in the future, if it is not done well, the central function of the country may be paralyzed.

"Think of a countermeasure"

"The lack of human resources is our weak point..."

　It seems that Isla and Melty are planning to deal with it, but it's not something that can be done overnight. Well, it's not tomorrow that there will be a big change in their physical condition, so it's not like there's no time to spare.

"It looks like it would be better to start recruiting excellent human resources like Mono at full speed."

"Ah, it was the one-eyed tribe that I met when I built a cultivation village in the west, right?

"Then I should go directly."

　Mono didn't seem to want to leave that pioneer village. If I were to try to persuade him, the chances of success would be higher if I, an acquaintance, went there.

"How about dispatching personnel from the Adolism Nostalgic Faction? Priests are basically intellectuals, right?"

"That's true, but I don't think we should put too many Adol priests in the center of the country..."

"I see"

　Sylphy made a frown, so I quietly withdraw. I guess I have no choice but to rely on him in an emergency, but I don't want to rely on him as much as possible. Well, considering the circumstances so far, it may be a delicate place for the public sentiment.

"It would be nice if I could recruit them from among the refugees fleeing from the Holy Kingdom."

"I have offered my support to promote the appointment of people who seem promising as lower-level government officials.

"That's right."

　Isla agrees with Melty's statement. It's certainly dangerous to let refugees fleeing the Holy Kingdom into a place close to the center of government. I don't feel like hiring locals is a bit dangerous, but there are some parts that can't be replaced with backs and stomachs... There are too few people in the Melinard Kingdom who can read, write, and do arithmetic.

"It's nothing new, but human resource development is important..."

"It takes time to see results."

　It's not something like the field I made that yields results in a week or so. I wonder if I can make something useful in that direction. Like a learning machine. Impossible? Rather than that, it would be better to create a tool that dramatically improves daily work. First of all, it might be a good idea to set up something like a pneumatic tube that can transport documents at high speed inside the castle of Melinessburg, or a speaking tube like the one used in the magic airship.

"Oh, I have a lot to do..."

"Isn't it fine that it's not bloody content? It's a hard-won peaceful trouble."

"That's right. Well, I can manage it."

"Ah, what can I do?"

　I smile back at Sylphy who smiles after saying that. Well, I have no choice but to make it somehow. It's going to be tough from now on, but I'll manage somehow.
