Chapter 227: 227 Stepping Into Their World & Pregnancy

Circe stood there with her hands on her hips, cheeks flushed.

She was slightly bent at the waist, which made her already huge ass stand out even more.

The dress was thin material, clinging tightly to her body, and even the lines of her underwear underneath were clearly visible.

It was such an arousing sight that I unconsciously reached out and started groping her ass.

“Hiyak!”

Circe let out a cute scream-like moan.

Startled, she whipped her head around to look at me.

She didn’t even notice me opening the door and coming in until I was groping her ass.

Whatever it was, she must have been really focused in thought.

“What were you thinking about so deeply? You didn’t even notice your husband coming in.”

“Ah, mm… it’s you, Karl. Has it already gotten that late?”

Circe spoke awkwardly, sounding somehow flustered.

She gently sat down on the bed.

I sat down beside her as well.

The atmosphere made it feel like she had something to say.

It had been quite a while since Circe—who had long grown used to sex with me—looked this nervous.

“Seriously, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Mm… you have to promise not to be too shocked, okay?”

Circe swallowed hard as she spoke.

What on earth was she about to say that even the Archwitch was this tense?

Enough to forget about our daily married sex and stay in her dress.

“I… I think I’m finally pregnant.”

For a moment my mind went blank at the words that came out of Circe’s mouth.

Pregnancy.

The reason I came here, and the reason Circe married me.

By now, love between husband and wife had become far more important than that original goal.

But it was also true that the reason we’d been having sex all this time was to have a child.

“The result came out today?”

“Yeah. Actually, I checked after dinner. I was wondering if it might be today.”

Circe periodically checked her pregnancy status through magic.

But as time passed, she naturally checked less often.

Yet today, when she checked, the sign of pregnancy appeared.

“It’s probably less than two weeks. The last time I checked was around then.”

“Really just a few days. No wonder your belly hasn’t started showing yet.”

“…When I first confirmed it, I was so shocked I checked over and over. But once I realized it was real, my feelings were so complicated.”

Definitely, for something like this, it made sense she’d be lost in thought and forget to even change clothes.

Even for a Great witch who had lived hundreds of years, becoming pregnant was a first-time experience.

No—even in the entire history of the witch tribe, Circe was the first to get pregnant with a human child.

Even I, a human who had somewhat mentally prepared myself, had my heart pounding like crazy right now.

“At first I was confused, incredibly happy, and my feelings were all mixed up… but the first person I thought of was you, of course. Haaat!”

In the end, I pulled Circe tightly into my arms with both hands.

Her getting pregnant didn’t suddenly make my love and affection for her grow bigger.

I had already genuinely loved Circe as my wife from the very beginning.

I had always thought that if Circe got pregnant, she might feel confused and her emotions would fluctuate greatly, so I would stay by her side and support her firmly.

Still, even I couldn’t help the overwhelming rush of emotion.

“Thank you. And I really love you, Circe.”

“Mm… me too. I love my husband more than anyone else in the world.”

Circe hugged me back and buried her face in my chest.

She would surely have a lot of worries about childbirth and the child.

She would feel anxiety and confusion about experiencing this for the first time.

But I was confident that the two of us could handle it well.

“Leave everything to me. Of course I’ll help with the birth, and I’ll do my absolute best to raise the child too.”

“Fufu! For some reason my husband looks even more reliable today?”

“There’s going to be a lot to prepare from now on. First, we should gradually reduce work. Of course it won’t happen right away, but step by step.”

I had already been in the process of slowly reducing the Great witch’s duties.

The Great witch’s responsibilities were so heavy that they placed a huge burden on her.

And so that even if the Great witch position became vacant when she really got pregnant, things would still be fine.

The operating system I created had successfully taken root, and departments had increased a lot too.

With several months still left, we could handle things gradually.

“…More importantly, don’t we have something to do right now?”

“Hm?”

The moment I turned my head in confusion, Circe pounced on me.

She gave me an intense kiss and pushed me down onto the bed.

When I looked up at her in a daze, Circe was sliding the straps of her dress down with a seductive smile.

“Our baby… says it wants to meet Daddy…♥”

Even though she was pregnant, Circe’s sexual desire hadn’t decreased at all.

If anything, it felt like the ripe charm of a married woman was finally bursting out.

As the dress came half off, her arousing breasts and ass welcomed me.

’When she seduces me like this, there’s no way I can refuse.’

I started kneading her breasts and immediately responded to Circe.

Regardless of the pregnancy, it seemed our married couple’s sex would continue on just as before.

****

“A magic to extend lifespan, you say?”

Morgan nodded with a serious expression at my words.

We were, after a long time, in front of her lair—that is, her treasure vault.

“I’ve been talking about it for a long time. How I wanted to somehow solve the problem of a human’s lifespan.”

“Yeah, you did.”

From long ago I had been researching and investigating ways to extend a human’s lifespan.

Unlike my long-lived women, I was an ordinary human.

They would live for hundreds more years, but I would die after at most less than 100 years.

I’m not denying the life and lifespan given to humans.

But if I died far too early, they would have to spend the rest of their lives missing me.

Even though separation would come someday, I didn’t want it to hurt them too soon.

That feeling grew even stronger when Circe became pregnant with my child.

’Plus, all my wives will stay firm and youthful. In just 40 years I’ll already look like a grandfather.’

To solve that, I had constantly searched for ways to extend my lifespan.

And unexpectedly, the answer was close at hand.

It was to reverse-engineer the magic the witch tribe uses to create children, combined with the dragon treasures Morgan possessed.

“In theory, it’s definitely possible, right?”

“Mm… yes, since Circe and I checked it together, that part is certain.”

As a dragon, Morgan naturally stored enormous treasures in her lair.

Among them were some that contained tremendous life force.

Normally, objects that simply held that kind of power weren’t very useful.

If a mediocre human picked one up, they would usually be cursed and become even more dangerous.

’But for mages like us, that’s a different story.’

Mages are fundamentally experts at handling mana and power.

And at the pinnacle of witch magic, handling powerful life force is also possible.

No need to look far—the magic witches use to create children is the very essence of it.

I planned to use that in reverse.
