The incident occurred on a certain day.
In the morning, just as always, I was doing my training.
I haven't seen Badigadi, but it's nothing to worry about.
That guy is whimsical.
It can't be helped, bothering over each and every thing.
...At least that was what Elinalise was passing on, but I'm sure that's just how it is.
After returning home from my training, Aisha and Sylphy were waiting for some reason with serious faces.
After seeing me return, the two were fixed on my face.
"...Ah."
"Rudi..."
What is it I wonder.
Did some kind of problem or something occur.
I'm feeling a bit uneasy.
"Umm, awawa, now that it's come down to it, I'm somehow a bit scared."
While Sylphy was scratching the back of her ear, she made a bitter smile.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Look, Sylphy-ane, gather your courage!"
After being pressed by Aisha, Sylphy stepped towards me.
While fidgeting with her hands in front of her chest, she came directly in front of me with a red face.
And then she placed her hand on her stomach.
She said it.
"Umm, Rudi. I... these past two months, it hasn't come."
Hasn't come? What?
Isn't what I asked.
"And then you know, my physical condition was just a bit bad so I thought perhaps it could be."
I was fixed on Sylphy's stomach.
It's a slender stomach.
It can't be.
No, it can't be.
"An... and then you know, yesterday Aisha told me I should properly go see a doctor nearby... That is, probably, it's congratulations they said."
"...O..."
My voice was trembling.
My hands were trembling as well.
Even my legs were trembling.
Congratulations.
I guess that means it was conceived.
This isn't a dream right.
I'll try pinching my cheek. Ouch. It's not a dream.
I swallowed deeply.
I see, that's right isn't it.
That combination said it as well didn't they.
You can do it if you try.
I did it with that intention.
If you were to say it's just as planned, that would be correct.
Since I had heard that elves can't conceive easily, it was unexpectedly fast, that I'm just a bit bewildered.
"Umm, Rudi... what do you think?"
Sylphy was making an uneasy face.
Somehow, I wonder what kind of reaction would be good for me to have.
I don't know since it's too sudden.
"Is... is it okay for me to touch?"
"Eh? Ah, yes, please do."
I caressed Sylphy's slender stomach.
It's the same sensation I always feel when I caress it.
Slender waist, little fat, a tight stomach.
After touching it, a warm and soft sensation is returned.
After hearing it said, it does seem just a bit larger I guess.
No, it might just be my imagination, it shouldn't be something that I can tell just from touching yet.
