Everyone lay on the giant bed , tired from the day " Ugh this is the first time I worked so hard " Mother complained " " Me too , I can't believe I'm exhausted " Solaris said " Why are they tired ? "
" Even though both of them could enlarge to great sizes it's still not as big as the solar system we are on " " I had to bring so many rocks around us , I had to fly for so much in a day " Mother complained .
" Why are you tired then " Rate asked Solaris " Lily told me I could practice using the sun as a target to feed it flames , I tried a lot , but I'm mentally exhausted " " I'm surprised you can get tired " " This is just our first time exerting ourselves "
Rate turned to Lily , who was reading a book " Are you tired " " I'm used to it it's not as much as before , so the lack of pressure does make me work on the planet which is relaxing " they were surprised by her words , recalling the fact that Lily had been doing multiple task , even assisting them from afar .
" I didn't know you had it hard " Rate said " Please you do the same " " Yeah but we are much older " Mother said " And I'm a family provider , you know my world's history periods when the housewives would stay at home making the family more comfortable , while the husbands would go out and earn money to bring food and help improve "
" But you're doing both ! " Mother complained " I've also given you an introduction to a few courses , are you looking forward to any of them ? " Lily asked Mother " I don't know , maybe I can try that thing about using my breath to attack ? "
" Okay , I'll pull up books for you to learn . And you guys don't have to worry about learning how to help around the family , while you've all been living for longer than I have . You weren't living the same life I was living , if anything it's not your fault for having to adapt to the kind of living I am doing "
" I guess you're right about that " Rate said " Okay we'll try to take it slow " Solaris said , understanding Lily's words " So can we make the lessons much easier ? " Mother asked and Lily nodded .
" Hurray " ' Guess I also have to learn ' Lily thought " How about you Rate , do you feel tired or something ? " " I guess I do feel like our child is moving around my body " " They are ? " Rate nodded .
" they have been moving around my heart , I'm not sure if I should be checking it since the other Calamity beast already gave me tips and it was just normal for them to move around . The important thing is that I can still sense that they are alive "
" Did you check on them ? " " They told me that I don't have to and that if I want them to stay alive , I just have to make sure to stay healthy and never go hungry " Rate said " And you've been doing that right ? " " Of course I was , why do you think I'm eating a lot even during dinner "
" Pregnant cravings " " I was craving for a lot of things though " Rate said " Won't yo ... nevermind " " I won't I what ? " " It's nothing , I keep forgetting you aren't a normal pregnant mom "
" It's okay to worry about me " Rate said " I know , so you are full right ? " " Yeah , I ate a lot , I'm just resting until I feel less full so I can go to sleep , you can turn off the lights " " Okay " Lights were out and they continued their conversation .
" What do you think our little one is doing ? " " I don't know , my ancestors said not to check since they didn't want to take full care of their child which causes them to be dependent on them " " Oh that's sweet of them to understand parenting "
" I'm a bit scared about having a child . I don't worry about dying like mom and dad said when I was an egg . I'm more worried about how to take care of them " " My advice is don't think too much about it , make sure to love them " Solaris said .
" Try not to have too much " Mother said " We're gonna have more ? " Rate asked " You want ? " " Uhm I ... I'm not opposed to it , but we shouldn't get carried away , it takes a lot to nurture a calamity beast " Rate said .
" Don't worry sweetheart , I'm not gonna force you to have one so quickly " Rate blushed and Mother rolled over Lily " What ? " " I get that Rate is carrying your child right now , but aren't you giving him so much ... what was it called " Mother said , thinking of the right word .
" Oh I get it " Lily gave Mother a kissed " Wow that was really nice like when you got drunk " Mother said " Yep " Lily embraced Mother and says " I'll give you all the love you want " Rate busies himself checking their child's life status seeing his heartbeat along with it .
" Solaris are you jealous ? " Mother asked to tease them " But I guess you won't know how much I like this " Lily shuts Mother's mouth through a kiss " Not exactly , I know how much Lily loves me , I did give her a part of me and even that is still connected "
Mother pushed Lily away " What how do you do that " " You don't want it anymore ? " Lily asked " Later and what do you mean you gave her a part of you ? " " The sun I gave her contains a part of me and it's still connected to me "
" Did it hurt when it changed ? " " No it wasn't , in your terms it would be like cutting a bit of my hair " Solaris said " From your words I'm guessing that it lets you sense most of my emotions right ? "
Lily asked " Yes , every time you had a thought about me , I would hear it sometimes , you would say "They're such a beautiful star" or others "
" I did say something like that " " THEN WHAT ABOUT ME ? " Mother yelled " Come on dear you are beautiful too , but in this small form It would be cute " Mother looked at Solaris with a smugged face " Heh " " Oh thank you dear " Mother took a while to understand why Solaris just said something .
" You said something about fireball didn't you !? " " Yeah , she said I was warm and very understanding " Solaris said " What's understanding ? " Mother asked " The thing you just did isn't that " Lily said .
Mother pouted and pushed herself into Lily for an embrace " MMMrrrr , Why do you have to marry Solaris too " " You were the one who married her while I was already married to her " Solaris said ' Them fighting is really funny ' " ... thanks " Solaris said .
" What ? What did you say about them ? What about me " " Let's just go to sleep " Lily used Rate's mark and made the atmosphere more tranquil ' It's so quiet ' Rate hears them rest and pushed himself under the blanket to rest .
...
Everyone sat to eat breakfast inside the cabin and Lily watched the scene unfold with a smile ' I'm really fortunate , if only I didn't have to deal with the stuff at home ' Lily sighed and thinks that she's on vacation so she had to relax .
' Argus hasn't sent me any bad developments yet , so I don't feel like worrying too much ' " You're not thinking of work , are you ? " Rate asked " No , I'm just thinking about how quiet it was , I know we are supposed to relax and I plan to but I have to make sure our base is doing well to feel assurance "
" That will be fine I don't want for my children to be in danger while I am relaxing " Solaris said " Oh yeah I completely forgot I have children there " " There all fine including your parents Rate , so far nothing bad has been happening only some minor inconvenience and average improvement which isn't a bad concern "
Rate put Lily's plate in front of her " Then let's not worry about it , by the way I don't think I can help much , Our kid is roaming a lot in my body and since it's been a long while I don't know what the inside of my body look like "
" So you want to make sure to help them when they get injured inside ? " Rate nodded " Of course , I'll still help but , this is my first priority " " Okay , I'll make sure to help you around " " Didn't you promise to teach me ? "
" Of course , even though you complained so much " " It was just the first day " Mother said with embarrassment " I still need help with my practice to dear " Solaris said " Of course I will help you "
' She already has so much ' " Lily we can put hold the development of the world " " Oh of course , it is important to care for the child , it's not like it's that hard . I'll go with Solaris today , I'll keep the blank grimoire to alert me of any problems . But won't you get bored ? "
" Don't worry I'll just read some material that you have and maybe reread some series at home " " Just make sure not to get too lax , laziness won't do the child any good " Lily said and soon they separated " So does this thing work " " It does the sun's light is stabilising and I'm testing the effects "
Lily operated the spacecraft to expose some objects to the light of the sun " " Hmm these light is interesting it takes control of the genetic material and reorganizes it " " It was from a strange forming beast that wrestled with my flares a little to get them in the end they died trying to get bigger parts of me "
" You know this ability is very dangerous to any lifeforms , it magnifies a star's radiation and controls it , I wouldn't be surprised if that beast was a scientist " " Yet I don't know how this thing work "
" You probably instinctively do it , why else would some of your children be plants ? " " When you say it like that , maybe I do have some control and understanding of it " " It's only a matter of time you take full control " Lily said .
" Lily I don't understand this part " " Oh sorry , I'll have to get this " Lily uses the blank grimoire to project a live hologram of herself to Mother and live hologram of Mother to herself " Okay let me see "
Solaris watched Lily help Mother and said " You can just go help her . I can go back home myself and get the souvenirs from that outer space farm so I can test this ability " " You sure you won't need help ? "
" Yeah " " Okay , I'll at least drive us back home " They returned home and Lily went inside to where Mother was seating with a bunch of books " Sorry this is kinda the first book " " Don't worry Solaris said they didn't need my help now let's see what were you doing wrong "
" This part " Mother tried to summon a breath out of her body but it showed a different result " This thing is probably because you're not using the right fuel for fire " " I have to do that ? " Mother questioned with surprise .
" You probably do it more instinctively instead of thinking the right formula for the fuel . How about you recall the feelings when you used this breathe , the lessons we've been learning are just about how you can use your breathe from afar , because some of them are slow "
" Okay I'll try " Mother held her claws up and a tiny spark appeared which caused a huge thunder . Lily quickly absorbed it before it reached anything else " That was great " Lily complimented Mother " That could've hurt Rate "
" You don't have to worry about hurting anyone " Lily knocked on the walls , revealing an intricate seal formation " See ? " " Oh I should've asked next time " " We should practice outside the planet instead "
" I can just go alone , You should just go take care of Rate " Mother said ' Guess I'll stay here ' Lily sat by Rate and turned the blank grimoire into a book to read . They continued reading and Rate turned to Lily .
" Hey do you think our child will be strong ? " " Why wouldn't they be ? " " Because I couldn't see any of your features on Aurora or Beryl " " That's because Beryl has resistance to poison while Aurora can use poison as fuel , right now she doesn't have that kind of fuel yet "
" How do you know " Lily showed Rate the blank grimoire showing two profile pages , one for Beryl and other for Aurora " And because of how I became their father , they don't exactly have any of my more offensive abilities "
" So you're not sure what our child will have ? " " Nope not at all , but I do remember what I did when we were making it " Rate blushed thinking back " I do remember you giving me a lot of your saliva , it was kinda acidic like a citrus fruit "
Lily smiled " So that's what it taste like , I was very drunk , so the parts of my genetic code which I gave you , was completely random but seeing as how you are curious , did you have some kind of plan for our baby ? "
" Uhm , kinda I just needed to know what they might be so I could teach them " " Well this one we don't know because I was completely drunk that time so my memories are very hazy , but if you want , when we make another one and you can give me your preference "
" N-no you don't have to do that " Rate said as he stopped blushing " I don't think it's right for me to decide anything for our child " " Hmm I guess that's fine , if they do decide to change their body , I have gene editing technology "
" Lily ! " Rate said opposed to the idea " I'm kidding I'm kidding " ' He's cute and funny when he's angry ' " Say can I hug you dear " Rate looked at the couch " Sure " the moved with Lily on the couch and Rate resting himself on her as she embraced him .
" Say Lily , I've read about the other cultures in this world , this thing about keeping pets " " Yeah , what about it ? " " Did yours have that too ? "
" We did , but I generally don't like the idea . Even though some animals are stupid , I feel like I should at least treat them properly because the idea of just keeping them around for me to enjoy having them around confining them at home didn't feel right "
" So I don't feel like a pet to you ? " " Obviously not " " With how you treated your residents , I would've thought you would care less of any life " Lily felt offended " Come on dear , I haven't treated you guys badly at all "
" Still , I just feel biased because of this pet culture " " I wouldn't treat you like one " " I know " Rate turned his head to kiss Lily on her face " Although can you tell me more about this pet culture ? "
" Well , what we are doing is kinda like that , but when you do it with a pet , it doesn't feel right since they don't have much capacity to refuse and are too easy. but hugging you is great because you let me do it "
" Are you talking about consent ? " " Yes , that's the fun thing about being married , I can earn the right to hug you and hugging you like this feels nice "
Lily puts her head on Rate's head and feels his horns pass " Oh I forgot about them " " It's a distortion skill I learned from my ancestors " Rate replied " I like it , I don't know why , but I feel really tired "
' It's probably because you've been helping , maybe she needs some sleep ' Lily sniffed the air as she felt drowsy ' Hmm this smells great ' " I'll doze off a little " Lily fell asleep and later woke up with Rate still in her arms " What time is it ? "
" It's past lunch already " " Oh shoot " Rate stopped Lily from getting up " Just relax , you were probably very tired " " Hmm you're caring so much " " Says you , you probably got tired from caring for all three fo us "
" Cause I love my sweethearts " " You love us so much it's gonna make you tired ? " " isn't attending to my spouses the right thing if we are married ? " Rate sighed " Just rest , we can talk about your world so you don't get bored "
" What about Solaris and Mother ? " " They said that they'll be practicing on their own " " Okay so what do you want to talk about to kill time ? " " The bad side " Rate surprised Lily with his suggestion " Okay fine , I guess the residents I have should be connected "
" Yeah what kind of crimes occur there " " Well in the past there were few very basic ones , it's where I was able to get some very loyal subjects " " So you were a ruler ? " " nope I was worshipped a god , remember ? "
Rate thought back about what he knows as Lily continues " So they were pretty loyal , too bad I couldn't keep them alive for so long " " So how did you get more ? "
" Well as more civilization grew , the power of religion decreased , so with the vast fortune of offerings I had , I bought some of my "apostles" and started buying slaves "
" Did you have those kinds of slaves ? " Rate asked " No , most of the slaves were criminals or prisoners of war " " You came across a lot of bad things in your world " " Of course , I would power corrupts people who can't handle it , some wanted me for my power but they keep dying "
" Is this the part where you get money from people wishing to be immortal ? " Lily nodded " Oh wow " Lily told Rate more about her life before throughout the day and then dinner came .
Rate cooked everything and says " Lily we can just make it so that we each have you for a day and take turns while you get a day for yourself " " Yeah it would make you more relaxed this way " Solaris said " I appreciate it , but what about Rate ? He's carrying our child " Lily said .
" Can't you make that book tell you when there's a problem ? " Mother pointed out " hmm I guess " " Then we'll have a much more relaxed vacation without worrying about our husband getting too tired " Mother said .
" Yeah that sounds nice " Rate said .
...
eight months later , the sun emited a beautiful colors and planets outside the Goldilocks zone were flourishing with life , as well as some buildings Mother and Rate built . While one single planet had a lot of danger inside .
Lily monitored the fetor that was growing at the planet ' It's quiet a lot glad to leave this one at the farthest side of the solar system ' she looked at a tower connected to her soul , forcing the life to continuously preserve through any form of change that was placed on them ' The core of the planet is radiating intense distortion light '
She checks the seal formation of the planet ' I'm glad the seal I placed is going well , but should I keep calling my power Fetor , I used to call it death because of Death , but now it feels different '
Lily gets a call for dinner and returns home " Hey dear " Rate said , giving Lily her plate " Thanks how was your day ? " " It's fine , I was just relaxing at home playing some of those toys you gave me " Rate kissed Lily after adding food on her plate .
" It's so boring now " Mother complained " But at least you get to learn more " Solaris said " You could do the same to " Mother said , irritated by Solaris's remark " There's no reason for Solaris to learn about exercise if they don't have living cells "
" It's still nice to learn about it , I can't believe there is a way to make you attacks stronger , for me it's all about putting more of myself in an attack " " Martial arts is an interesting thing " Rate said " Although I'm wondering if our little one is doing it , I'm sensing numerous changes in their life signals " Rate said .
" Speaking of martial arts Lily , do you know about it ? " Mother asked " Not at all my body changes too often for me to learn just one if I were to compare myself it's like most of my body is working on something different ... But you learning Martial arts is scary , you're already strong enough now you want to use all of your body to attack "
" It was just easy , it's just moving my body the correct way " Mother said " Yeah , but much deeper martial arts involve much deeper body functions like how you breathe , it could be good for you , so make sure to do it " Lily said .
" Then why don't you do it " Mother said wishing to dodge the hard lesson " I already am , in fact me and Rate have been doing it for a long time " Lily said and Mother turned to Rate surprised .
" It's true when I found about it I learned that it could make my body much breathable for our child with my breathe being the wind of my body so it would make sense that I try it and master it "
" Ugh fine I'll learn " Lily heard an alert and looked at the blank grimoire " Oh it's nothing too bad " She said , so as not to stress her spouses " It looks like our vacation in this solar system is over " " Huh why ? "
Lily smiled and showed them the news " They are saying I can get a land outside this world now , since we've been so lax , they believe that they can simply leave the frontline to Argus " " So we are moving again ? "
Lily nodded " We'll stay here for a few more days and leave so I don't reveal the book's ability to alert me through these clouds " " These clouds are great " Solaris said " So are we still going to study ? " Mother asked .
" Of course we would " Lily said ' Now that I got the retiree promotion , I can start a few things unless some changes occur again ' Lily thinks of any potential changes " Hey come on , let's get clean " After a bath , they went to bed with Solaris waiting .
" Husband what will happen after this ? " " We're gonna move according to the promotion , it's we are going to a place that keeps this world together " Lily said and she hears a debt chain shake " Don't worry I don't plan to join if you hate the idea so much I'll make sure this world stays this way "
They figured Lily was talking to the Labyrinth , but still asked " What did they say ? " Mother asked " They're worried I'm not faithful " Lily said " Oh come on you haven't even spent time with our husband as much as we do , maybe you should join us later " Mother said .
" Would it be possible ? " Solaris asked " Of course it would be, although I'll gonna have to get rid of Immortal so that I could set up the spell for them " " What spell ? " Solaris asked " The same thing I used for you "
" Ahh but they aren't a star ? " " I know that much , which is why I'm making some changes " Mother wondered if the Labyrinth would keep bothering Lily again " Hey if you are going to be married to husband , at least have something like a child "
" I do have one with them already " they all froze surprised " it's complicated basically I took a part of the Labyrinth and fused with the base when I was giving the blank grimoire extra processing power , They're using the base right now to look into the Descenders . I've told them to not kill just like you guys " Lily said .
" Wait , so our baby is the last one to be delivered ? " Rate asked with some conflicting feelings " Yeah I did make a child with the Labyrinth before , although it took a while for them to start saying mom and dad " Rate turned to the other side of the bed .
" Hmph " " Dear ? ... Dear ? " " I don't want to talk to you right now " ' wow relationships are complicated ' Lily looked at Mother and Solaris , who weren't looking " Do you want to go back home tomorrow "
" Yes " they all said at the same time , she sighed thinking about how much the two had grown and understood the concept of being in a relationship ' It probably looked like I was some dirty cheater ... Right ? '
