"Lord Eucharlouch." I turned towards the voice when I heard my name being called. "What is it?" I replied with a smile.
These girls are going to give birth to my children. I want to leave as good an impression as possible. So I acted friendly without coming across as being too obvious. "I hear you're heading out to defeat the orcs." "Yes. That's right." "I understand that you will be the only one fighting, Lord Eucharlouch. Are you sure you don't want us to help you?"
"Oh, is that what you are worried about?" I said nonchalantly.
"You all have already been entrusted with an important job, giving birth to my child. I can't afford to waste your time on such a trivial matter." "I've heard that there are over 300 orcs in total. Are you sure?" Another girl asked. Orcs are quite troublesome monsters, even for experienced adventurers. And there are over 300 of them. From their perspective, that's probably only natural.
However. "Of course. One can't call themself a hero if they can't easily defeat an opponent of that caliber." I answered with a serious look on my face. "As you all know." As I looked around at everyone's faces, I began to speak. "The king never does anything reckless." As I watched everyone's reactions, I continued. "The king has officially sent me here, so there's nothing to worry about."
It seemed that no one was concerned about it anymore, given my confident attitude and the track record of having defeated powerful monsters in the past.
There was nothing in particular to do in the carriage, so we spent the time chatting. I wanted to get to know the girls who would give birth to my children, at least a little.
We were rocked in the carriage for hours, taking short breaks in between.
We repeated this several times. And then.
That day we decided to stay the night in the Braidea territory. If it was just me, the travel wouldn't have taken that long, but since there was a fairly large group, we had no other means of transportation other than the carriage. For that reason, we stayed at a luxurious inn that was patronized by the royal family. It wasn't that many of us, but it was to help keep the economy going. It was already getting dark when we arrived at the inn, so it was time for dinner.
In front of us was a packed array of lavish dishes that we don't normally get to see.
Seeing the dishes, one of the women asks me this.
"We're just accompanying Lord Eucharlouch, so is it really okay for you to treat us so well?" "Well, from the outside it may look like you're just following me around."
I stopped there for a moment and continued.
"We’re going to be tied up together for quite some time. I know it’s tough, but I’d appreciate it if you could think of it as a nice trip."
That's what I answered.
They’re going to be held up for several days due to my circumstances.
It is only natural that I should treat them accordingly.
Everyone seemed to agree with my words, and they happily enjoyed the luxurious food that they rarely get to see. After finishing their meal, we each headed to our rooms.
Everyone except for me and my partner for tonight's baby making was in their own private rooms. I had a quick chat with her as we headed to my room.
