261 - - Art. 261. Rico Of The Coffin Is Dead.
"All you have to do is stand there and breathe!"
At first glance, it was Loni who uttered the extreme words, which at first glance seemed like power harassment. It was rare for her to express her anger to this extent. Linos watched this scene with an indescribable expression on his face as he sat at the dining room table.
It happened when Riko was due in five days and Loni was coming to Linos' house for an overnight stay. For her, being at the Rinos' mansion had the advantage of being able to be by Rico's side at all times, to respond immediately to any problems, and to discuss with May and Sadie the progress of her current research and any problems or questions she might have. In addition, she thought that she would be able to discuss with Sadie her concerns about the birth of her child, who had finally reached a stable period, and about her future plans, so she decided to go to the Linos house earlier than planned.
Incidentally, it is a secret she never told anyone that she had been waiting for this day with eager anticipation because she would be able to eat three delicious meals as much as she wanted at the Rinos' mansion.
Just as she was about to leave her room to go to the house of Linos, a Poseidonian came out of her room.
"Who? Who are you?
It is rare for a Poseidonian to suddenly appear without warning. Usually, they communicate with each other through their thoughts and obtain the other party's consent before they move to the other side. It is almost impossible for them to suddenly transfer, except in an emergency, so it was understandable that Roni was surprised.
"Ro~~~ni~~~"
The moment she was transferred, the Posehai called her name familiarly and suddenly hugged her. This was completely unexpected, and even Loni was surprised and perplexed, and her body stiffened.
"It's been a long time~ it's been a long time~ I've missed you~"
"Hey, ...... let go of me for a minute! Who? Who are you?
"It's me, Roni!"
The man smiles broadly as he pulls away and grips Loni's shoulders.
"...... who?"
Roni's eyes widen and she freezes. The man looks surprised to hear her words.
It's me, Roni! It's Dorky! I'm Doki, the man you were engaged to. It's been a long time. You haven't changed at all, Roni. You still look the same, and your magic wave count is the same.
"Ah."
Roni looks up at the heavens with a disappointed look on her face. Then she shakes her head slowly and sighs.
I'm busy right now. Please don't bother me. Besides, I don't remember being engaged to you."
"Huh? What are you talking about, Roni?"
"Don't call me that. I have work to do. Get out of here!
She grabbed the man by the collar and threw him out of the room. She locked the door, quickly grabbed her belongings, and moved into the house of Linos.
I'm sorry I'm late.
As soon as she arrived at Linos' mansion, Roni unloaded her belongings in her assigned room and headed for Rico's room.
"Roni ....... I have a bit of a stomach ache.
With an anxious look on his face, Rico patted his large, swollen stomach. Eryl was watching her mother with a worried look on her face.
"I understand. I think she may be in labor. Let me take a look at her.
With these words, Roni gently touched Liko's belly and began to examine the fetus in her stomach.
Hearing that Liko's labor might have started, we quickly got ready for it. I hold Riko in my arms and take her downstairs to the maternity room. Telling Riko that she was not sure if she was in labor yet and that she was going to have the baby anyway, I told her that we could move her to the room as soon as possible and took her there. Both Eryl and Alyria look worried, but curious about the birth of their baby brother or sister.
The delivery room is already prepared, and I leave Riko with Loni and return to the dining room. The water is already boiling, and Ferris brings the hot water for the time being. Since this is the third birth, everyone knows their roles and everything goes smoothly.
Luara and Peris get ready and head for the delivery room. May followed them out of the dining room. I join Matkal, Sidhi, Soleil, and the others in the dining room to babysit Eryl and Alyria.
"Rico-sama, are you okay? ......"
Soleil opens her mouth with a worried look on her face. Sidhi glances at her and replies with a large nod.
"I don't think there's any problem at all, do you?
"Why?"
"I don't have any proof, but I'm sure of it."
"Sadie's intuition these days is right on the money. ......"
As we were having this conversation, suddenly the space in the corner of the dining room began to distort, and I saw Posehay shifting.
"Hm? What is it? Who's there? It doesn't look like Ziwan ......."
It appears that Posehay is still a young man. As soon as the transition was over, he plopped down on the dining room floor, breathing hard and wheezing.
"Who are you?"
Matkal is protecting Eryl and Alyria, his hand on the hilt of his sword. The man pulls a small bottle out of his pocket and puffs on it. After a while, the man's breathing, which had been ragged and wheezing, begins to slow down, and he looks up and around.
"d*mn ...... I never thought I'd be forced to use so much magic ....... What is that? Where am I? I've been following Roni's magic. ......"
"Posehay? I've never seen you before. Are you a friend of Loni's? Roni's having the baby now. Who are you ......?"
I restrain Matkal with my hand, and ask the man who has suddenly shifted. The fact that you were able to move into this house proves that you have no malicious or hostile intentions. I decide to trust him, since he seems to have a good-natured look on his face.
"Oh, I'm Roni's fiancée, Doki."
"What? Fiancee?"
"Mr. Linos!"
Suddenly, Loni's voice echoed through the room. Unexpectedly, we turned around at the sound of her voice. There was Roni with a serious face.
"Congratulations! You have just been born."
"What? You said you were born. ...... You've only been in the maternity room for about 30 minutes."
"Yes, I went into full labor a short time after that, and after only three contractions, the baby was born right away.
"What? Really? What about Rico at ......? Where's the child? A boy? A woman?"
Roni bows and opens her mouth.
"The sheep are not here!"
"What?"
"The Lord of the Sheep is here!"
"...... Rico in the coffin, that's just dead? What the hell is going on?
Roni's face is a scrambled mess. After a moment of silence, the room erupts in laughter.
"It's Prince Amasenu, the Prince of Hitsuji. Linos-sama. It means that an heir has been born. Congratulations on the birth of your successor!
Sidi tells us. Apparently, this word is used only by the king to report the birth of a legitimate child. I was told that it is a very rare word, used only once in a lifetime or so.
"And ...... means it's a boy! Where's Rico? How are mother and child? Yippee!!! Roni, thank you! Roni did it!"
I burst out in joy.
Congratulations!
Everyone in the family is smiling and congratulating me. Eryl and Alyria are also very happy to hear that they have a baby brother.
"No, congratulations! I don't know what it is, but is it a boy? Is he a prince of Hitsuji, or is he a king somewhere? I'm sorry I didn't know. Congratulations!
For some reason, Posehay, who claims to be Loni's fiancé, congratulates her politely. Loni sees this and speaks up.
Dawki! What the hell are you doing?
"Ah Roni, we meet at last! I've been following your magic and wondered what's going on in this house. I had a hard time finding it because the wave count was so low."
Please leave!
"Please don't say that! I'm sorry I went to see you without sending a thought, so don't be so mad at me.
"That, that, that is not the problem! Now, now get out of here!"
"Well, well, well, Roni, now that your fiancée has asked you ......"
"Huh? Fiancee? Are you an idiot? That's not possible! It can't be that way!"
Loni called me an idiot. I'm the king, after all. My face is ruined, and I collapse into a chair in shock. Seeing this, Dawki dared to open his mouth.
"What are you talking about, Roni? You promised me! When we're both on our own, we'll get married. ......"
"That was when you were five years old! How can such a childhood promise still be valid today! And where the hell have you been all this time! What in the world have you been doing, not responding to Mr. Zhuang's summons! I hope you are a doctor! What the hell are you doing now!"
"I'm at ...... cookhouse now."
"What?"
"No, I'm more of a pastry shop now."
"Candy shop? Are you still Posehay? Posehay is ......."
"Roni."
Dawki slowly walks over to Roni. He looks more serious than ever. We watch him with bated breath.
"I understand your anger. You're right. I'm sorry about that. I just want you to hear what I have to say, what I really have to say."
As soon as he said this, he hugged Roni gently.
"I didn't propose properly, did I? Roni, let's make a family together ......."
The next thing he knew, Roni's right hand was deeply embedded in Dawki's solar plexus. He slowly collapsed to his knees on the floor.
"I'm working. Please don't interrupt me!"
Loni, without looking at the fainting Dawki, straightened his back again, bowed, and opened his mouth to us.
"I'm sorry to see you like this. Licorette is waiting for you! Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the maternity room!"
Dorky hears the voice and slowly stands up. Her body blows must be working. Her legs are wobbling and shaking. Despite his condition, he calls out to Roni, his voice trembling.
I'll help you too, I'll help you too. Anything, anything at all."
I thought I heard such a sound from Loni. Immediately after that, a look of anger appeared on her face.
"Just breathe!"
"What?"
"There is nothing you can do! All you have to do is stand there and breathe! All you have to do is breathe! Without moving a millimeter! Nothing is too hard! That's good!"
...... can't wait to see my wife and kids.
