"b...... d......"
Dorky is staggering. He is on his knees, his shoulders shaking violently. It seems that the body blow he had just received was still in effect, as well as Loni's words.
"Master, first I'll go to my sister Rico: ....... I'll keep an eye on him.
Ruara opens her mouth to me, looking exasperated. Faeri is flying above Doki, flapping his wings, as if this is a rare sight.
"I'm sorry, sir. "My Lady Ruara, could you keep an eye on this man for me? If you don't mind, Master Fairy, I would be happy if you could put out some paralyzing scale powder to make him immobile. There is a possibility that he may escape by metastasis, but if so, please leave him alone. This man was not strong in the past, so I don't think there will be any kind of attack. Please rest assured.
Loni said this much quickly and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned to me again and bowed his head.
Then he turned to me again and bowed.
I followed his words and went to Rico, worrying about Doki who was suffering on all fours. I thought about locking him in the ward, but I had a gut feeling that this man would not harm us, so I did nothing. Well, Luara is strong enough, so I doubt that anything serious will happen to her.
"Well, come in."
When we arrive at the maternity ward, Roni opens the door for us. I cast a clean spell on everyone, disinfect them, and enter the room. The same scene as when Eryl and Alyria were born spreads out there.
"Oh, master!"
I see May smiling at me, holding the baby in her arms by the bed. Ferris and Peris seemed to be cleaning up for the last time, but when they saw me, they smiled and wished me congratulations. I thank them and walk quickly to May's place. I take the baby from her.
She is wrinkled like a ...... monkey, but the outline of her face seems to resemble me somehow. Her eyes are tightly closed. She seems to be already sleeping when she is not crying.
"Does he look like me ......?"
"...... you look just like your father."
Rico is looking at me with a big smile on his face. I hand the child to Rico and sit down in the chair by the bed.
"It's a boy?"
"Yes, it's a boy."
"You did it, Rico."

"Yes. I've just had my ...... heir."
Thank you. Rico, you did a really good job.
"We'll have to decide on a name ......."
"Oh, actually, I've already thought of it. The name is ......, you know, Idea."
"Well, Idea."
Rico's face lights up. In fact, when Eryl was born, Rico and I had been thinking of many names for him, since we had been told that it would be a boy. At that time, we had talked about the name "Idea" as a good name for him. This time, when this child was born and I saw his face, the scene from that time came back to my memory.
"Bartham Darke Idea: ....... I am sure he will be a wonderful man.
Rico smiled happily.
"Rico, are you okay?"
"Yes. This time I was born very early, so it was much easier than with ...... Eryl."
"I see. Good. But has she gone to sleep already? You've been very quiet."
Yes. She's had very little morning sickness since she was born, so she's a very good baby.
Rico pats the child's head lovingly. Everyone congratulates her on the baby, saying "cute" and "congratulations" as they watch her. Liko looks really happy.
"Kaaaaatan!"
Allyria jumps on May and begs for a hug. May slowly picks her up and shows her the baby.
"Come on, Alyria's little brother. Now let's be a big sister to Alyria from now on, okay?
"Yes!"
The whole family smiles. What a happy scene.
I look over and see Eryl standing there alone, watching us. I slowly walk over to her and crouch down.
"Congratulations, Eril. You've become a big sister again.
With these words, I took Eryl in my arms. Then I took her to Riko.
"There you are, Eryl," he said, "your little brother, Idea. ...... protect him if anything happens to him, okay?"
"Yes!"
Eryl looked extremely happy and nodded. Seeing this, the whole family smiled again.
"Um~. Congratulations!
Suddenly, a crazy voice echoed through the room. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Doki standing there with a big smile on his face. Loni grabs him by the chest silently and tries to take him outside.
"Wait, Roni! No, it's not!"
"What's the difference? This is a maternity ward! No one but authorized personnel are allowed in the building! And... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and...
"Wait, wait! For the queen, this is ......."
If you look closely, you can see that Doki is holding something in his hand.
"Roni, look. Wait a minute. Doki, what is that thing in your hand?"
"Yes, ...... kachin, sir."
"Kachin?"
"I mean rice cakes, Master."
Ruara appears behind Doki. She opens her mouth to us, quieting Roni down a bit.
"I think he suddenly mumbled something like, 'Yes,' and then he suddenly shifted. ....... We wondered where she had gone, but after a while she came back to the house again. At that time, he brought this rice cake. He said that he had made it. And this rice cake is said to be effective in restoring one's strength, and he wanted to give it to Rico's sister. ......"
"So you brought him here?"
"I tried one myself, and it was ...... very tasty."
"The rice cakes?"
I go to Doki's side and ask him to show me the contents of the box he is holding. Inside were several flat rice cakes. I activate my appraisal skill on them, and they do not seem to contain any poisonous substances.
"May I have a piece?"
"Here you go."
He replies with a big smile. I take out a piece of rice cake and throw it in my mouth.
"...... yeah ...... f*ck! What the hell is this! It's so good!"
Right, Master? It's a really delicious rice cake."
No wonder Ruara raves about it. I thought it was just a rice cake, but it was very supple and had just the right amount of sweetness. Moreover, the rice cake was made in two layers, and inside the rice cake was a paste-like sauce that was rich in flavor and created a perfect harmony with the rice cake.
"Not only the rice cake is delicious, but the sauce inside is also very elegant. And ...... is there burdock in it? But this flavor is ...... amazing. I've never had such a delicious rice cake. I'm impressed."
Doki looks embarrassed, his long ears twitching.
"By the way, Ruara, I must say, you ate well. You didn't worry about poison or something?
"I can digest a certain amount of poison, and since the faeries were there, I thought that at worst they could give me a powder that would detoxify me. More than that, I intuitively thought it would be delicious."
"I see. I see. The rice cake is indeed shiny and looks delicious. I didn't know they could make something like this. That's amazing, Doki."
"It's still in the prototype stage, but I'm glad you like it. I don't know if it will suit your taste, but I know you must be tired after having a baby, so I thought I'd ...... give it to your wife."
With that, he held out the box to me. I thanked him politely and fed the rice cake to Riko.
"Rico, ah!"
"...... This is really, really delicious. Mei, Mato, you should all try some."
Rico, too, put his hands over his mouth and exclaimed. Then Mei and the others were given rice cakes to eat. Naturally, the girls all praised the rice cakes, saying how delicious they were. Then I put the remaining piece into Rico's mouth again. She chewed it slowly, tasted it, and swallowed it with a gulp with a happy look on her face.
"Hmmm..." she said. Thank you very much for the food. Doki......, it was really delicious. Thank you very much.
Rico thanks him with a huge smile. Dawki sees him and bows his head, saying, "I'm so sorry.
"By the way, Doki here is a Poseidonian like Loni, isn't he? Are you one of Roni's people?"
Rico asks with a curious look on his face. That's right, I had not introduced Rico to Doki. This was an oversight.
"Oh, Rico. He is ......."
"Yes! I'm Roni's fiancée! ...... gf."
He looked over and saw Loni's fist deep in his side.
"I don't remember being engaged to you! And ...... why isn't there any for me!!!!"
...... what? There? ...... Well, it surely must have been nothing but sadness for the gourmand Roni not to be able to enjoy the delicious rice cakes. At any rate, it seems that Loni's problem has to be solved. By the way, despite all the commotion, Idea is still sleeping soundly. Maybe he will be a big shot in the future. .......
