Chapter 1928 He Didn’t Count
“What?!” Once again, everyone was taken by surprise. “She’s pregnant?!”
Calina, on the other hand, didn’t look as surprised as the others. She kind of knew that something wasn’t right. “I did notice I was late…” She then looked at Rean and Roan with a smile. “When did you find out?”
“The question here is different.” Roan stopped her there. “You noticed it but didn’t tell me. Were you trying to hide this fact?”
Calina looked away, saying, “We’ve been together for so long already. I thought it was about time. What if we get separated again? I’ve always been afraid of losing you to someone else, so I wanted some guarantee.”
Rean quickly patted her shoulder and spoke before Roan could say anything. “Oh, there’s no need to worry. Roan also wanted it.” Roan glared at Rean for a moment, but Rean couldn’t care less. “What? Am I wrong?”
“No.” Roan shook his head in the end.
Naturally, that left everyone even more confused. “Roan wanted it? How did you know, Rean? Did he tell you?”
“As if!” Rean immediately answered. “However, after spending a lot of very steamy nights together, haven’t you noticed that Roan didn’t try to kill his seeds?”
“Ah!” Calina remembered the first time they had sex. Back then, Roan used his Dark Element to kill all the sperm he let out inside her to prevent pregnancy. Roan was the ultimate pregnancy prevention method there was. “He didn’t try to do it again, so…”
Roan looked away after that, murmuring, “What? Is it really that unexpected that I want my own child?”
“It is.” Kentucky was the first one to answer. Everyone nodded with him, much to Roan’s anger. “Well, you’re wrong.”
Calina then hugged Roan. “Thank you! Nothing makes me happier than knowing that you also want one.”
Celis still found it a mistake, though. “Isn’t it a terrible time to have a kid? I mean, we’re in the demon beasts’ territory. Although they gave us a certain level of freedom, we’re still kind of their prisoners. I thought someone like you would be the first one to deny the idea.”
The rest of the people in the room nodded, including Rean. Even he hadn’t heard why Roan decided to let it happen. “I thought he had removed it, to be honest. I only noticed that Calina was pregnant because I have Light Element Affinity. As you guys here know, I can feel the living beings’ life force. With that, I noticed the small life force taking form in her.”
Roan nodded. “Indeed, I thought about killing all the sperms I ejaculated inside her vagina.” Sure enough, Roan didn’t see any reason to feel embarrassed in using such direct words, much to Calina’s despair.
“Can’t you choose your words better?” Calina couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s how the human race reproduces, no?” Roan asked in response. “Why would you feel embarrassed about your reproductive organs?”
Calina simply gave up. “Forget it. What were you saying before?”
Roan nodded and continued. “As I was saying, I did think about killing them all after we finished having sex,” said Roan as Calina became even redder. “But I reached a conclusion a long time ago.” Finally, he entered the main topic.n(0ve)l.com
“What was it?” The question was mutual between the friends present.
“There will never be a perfect moment for it,” Roan answered.
“This…” Sure enough, Roan’s words were very effective.
“Everyone in this room at least knows that Rean and I have something to do. Something that might take our entire life to accomplish. Rean and I will never be out of danger, which means there’ll never be a good moment to have our own children,” Roan explained. “Since that’s the case, any moment will also be the right moment.”
Rean thought about that for a moment before nodding in agreement. “I’ve never thought from that perspective. But… I expected you to prefer to be like that. For this moment to never come since it would never be right.”
Roan didn’t deny that. “If it was me back in Sunkan or even back in the Zasfins’ planet, that would have been the case. However, how long did we spend just to reach the center of the Realm of Gods? And why was that? To fulfill our objectives? No, it was to find these two girls and my first disciple who was separated from us. I still remember how Calina felt bothered when I first killed the sperms I ejaculated in her. Even though we explained how it worked and that I didn’t really kill anyone, I know she didn’t like that.”
“Roan…” Calina was really surprised that Roan had these kinds of thoughts at all. She didn’t mind the emotionless Roan since that was the Roan she loved. But it would be a lie if she said she didn’t like his words right now. Well, she just couldn’t tear up because Roan still used his very ‘straightforward’ descriptions, so her embarrassment preceded everything else.
Roan then patted her head. “Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I don’t want a descendant of my own. My parents were very important to me after my reincarnation, and I want a kid to feel the same for me.”
Rean couldn’t help but ask, “Are you really Roan? I mean, you never ever talk about such sentimental things. What happened to you?”
Roan snorted in response. “Don’t worry, I still won’t care about you.”
“Hahaha!” Everyone laughed after hearing that.
…except Rean, of course. “Fuck you! I don’t remember ever asking you to care about me, nor do I need it.”
“It’s good that you think like that,” Roan answered back.
Suddenly, Qia poked Rean’s back. “I want one too!”
“Eh?” Rean didn’t know what to say. “I… don’t think I would be a good father.”
It was then that Jaiyo, who happened to be the oldest person who had a family there, talked. “No one will ever be, that I can guarantee.”
Well, Celis was definitely much older than Jaiyo, but he didn’t have a family, so he didn’t count.
