After that, Lilia and Zenith had finished their bath, and after Lilia prepared our rooms for us, they went to sleep.
As we decided earlier, I sleep together with Sylphy. I let Sylphy use my arm as a pillow, and Sylphy decides to go to sleep facing me.
We weren't asleep yet. Our gazes met, and we stare in silence.
"It's about what we spoke about earlier, but..."
The one who speaks first was Sylphy.
"When you said that you had something important to say, and Roxy was sitting next to you, I ended up imagining something really sad."
"What?"
"I thought that you might say that you didn't love me, so you were going to leave me."
"I wouldn't say something like that."
What kind of trash would?
"Mn. I know."
Sylphy shifted about. I could feel her with the tip of my missing wrist. She was stroking me.
"But I really am anxious after all. It feels like you're going to leave my side."
I wonder if she's feeling a sense of foreboding. But thinking about it, I really was in danger this time. I might have even died.
"Did I make you anxious?"
"Mn."
"There, there."
I stroke Sylphy's head with my right arm. Sylphy narrows her eyes and lets me pat her. If you look more carefully, she's actually grown out her hair at some point. Her beautiful, white hair. She might be able to tie it up in a ponytail, soon.
"You let your hair grow, huh."
"After all, you said you liked long hair, right, Rudi?"
"Mn."
She's so cute... Even though she has been waiting for me, all this time, on the other hand, I...
"Sorry, Sylphy. I've betrayed you."
"It's okay. I like that part of you."
"But were it the other way around, I'm sure I'd cry and scream disgracefully, shouting abuses at you like [You must feel great, betraying me, huh!] you know?"
"Mmhuhu... I won't do something like that. I don't see anyone but you, after all."
Saying that, Sylphy brings her face to mine and kisses me on the cheek. Love overflows from within my chest. Though she was probably anxious, though she probably wanted to cry out, she didn't voice a single complaint, and accepted it. I'll love her until I die.
"Sylphy."
"Ehehe."
I return Sylphy's kiss on her soft and squishy cheek.
"..."
At this point, I'd usually charge into the actual thing, but today I'll stop here. There's no way I'd force the pregnant Sylphy to do anything unreasonable after all.
Suddenly, I felt a stroking sensation at my abdomen.
"Ahh, don't, Sylphy. If you touch me there, I won't be able to hold back. Well, I do have interest in pregnancy play, but..."
"Ah, don't, Rudi. It'll harm our child, so...
"Mn?"
"Eh?"
When I look down, I find that next to Sylphy's pregnant belly is an even bigger mountain. I try pulling back the blanket. When I did, there was...
"Jirou..."
From under the bed, the huge armadillo has stuck his head right between Sylphy and I. I wonder when he did so. I really didn't notice at all.
"Sticking his head into people's crotches. What a perverted guy, huh?"
"He's like you, huh?"
"No, I... It can't be helped. Shall we sleep together, tonight?"
"Mn. Let's."
I get up and grab another blanket, and make a bed for Jirou. Jirou sprawls himself on top of it and slowly shuts his eyes. Though he looks like an armadillo, he feels like a large dog.
It seems I'll have to prepare a small room for him before long, huh. Raising him in the house is fine, but taking care of his feces is troublesome, after all. Wait, I wonder if I can train him like a dog, as well. Well, I guess I'll have another talk with our family.
"Alright. Guess it's time to sleep."
I was about to slip in on Sylphy's right, but stopped. I get in bed on Sylphy's left and grasp her hand with mine. Sylphy strongly grasps, squeezing back.
"Goodnight, Sylphy."
"Mn. Have a good rest, Rudi."
After that, I slept like a log.
