Chapter 185 - Tiona is pregnant? (Patreon)

I scanned my surroundings, trying to remember everything. But it is hard. I'd been in this world so long that it was hard to remember things. I'd even forgotten some of the details of the story.

I need to take some time to think about the story in the future. I need to remember some important characters. Especially women.

"Tiona is here. You can enter." Tione said. She is annoyed by my presence, but she's trying to act as if she doesn't care. It is funny.

But I don't mind.

'Haaa~~ I miss the ability to control people's minds. God, you could give it back to me?' I don't think that's going to happen. Everything would be much easier.

I didn't get enough use out of the ability last time. I could have made Ais fall in love with me.

"Aren't you going in?"

"Oh, sorry, I was a bit distracted." I entered Tiona's room, and Tione closed the door behind me. "Wow, it's quite a luxurious room. I didn't think Tiona had such a big room."

The room was big. It is bigger than the bedroom I use in my mansion. What's more, it had lots of decorations that looked expensive.

'Is that really her room? I don't think it is.'

"Tiona?" I approached the bed Tiona was in. She was using a furry blanket. She had her eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.

"She's so cute when she's asleep. I don't want to wake her..." I sat on the bed next to her. 

'I think I woke her up...' Probably because of my voice and the movement on the bed when I sat down, Tiona woke up. Her eyes opened slowly, and she noticed me.

She continued to stare at me for a few seconds without saying anything. She was drowsy and probably didn't recognize me yet. I smiled at her and waited for her to recognize me. It took longer than expected.

But when she did, her face immediately turned red.

"Luan?! What are you doing here?" Tiona turned away from me, startled. She put her blanket over her face, trying to prevent me from looking at her. She's embarrassed even though I've seen her naked several times.

She's not even naked at the moment. She's wearing a light, almost transparent dress—a suitable outfit for sleeping.

"Tione told me you weren't feeling well, so I came to see you."

"Did you break in?" Tiona asked.

"Of course not. Tione brought me here and said I could stay with you."

"I see. I didn't think my sister would do that."

"She didn't seem very happy about bringing me here. I don't think she trusts me even after our conversation."

"... I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize. It's not your fault. Tione and Ais don't trust people easily, and that's a good thing."

"But I've been with you for a long time! I talk about you with them every day, but still..."

"It's okay." I put my hand on Tiona's head and ruffled her hair. "How are you feeling?"

"Just a bit under the weather." Tiona lay back on the bed and covered her whole body up to her mouth. She left only half of her head showing. "Besides, I've also been feeling very nauseous for the last few days."

"Nauseous?" My heart pounded, and my stomach chilled.

'Wait, could it be?'

"That's right. Every time I eat something, I feel sick, but I'm getting better."

"I see..." I smiled bitterly. Could it be that she's also pregnant? I can't ask her about her period. We'll find out later, so I shouldn't overthink about it.

She probably has a stomach problem or something. She's been feeling better.

"It's good that you're feeling better."

"Are you going out already?"

"No, of course not. I told you I'd stay with you, didn't I? I'll stay here as long as you want." I smiled at Tiona and then kissed her forehead. Her cheeks blushed.

She's so cute. It makes you want to squeeze her cheeks.

But it's a shame. I wanted to have sex... But it's better not to. If she's really pregnant, I could end up causing a problem.

Besides, she doesn't look well enough for that. She's very vulnerable at the moment.

Two hours passed. I spent the whole time lying next to Tiona. I told her about what had happened in the last few days. Of course, I hid my meeting with Ishtar.

She didn't need to know about it.

"Now I'm curious about the sword with the dragon you mentioned."

"I can show you if you want. I brought it with me." I took the sword out of my inventory and then summoned the dragon. When I did, the dragon happily flew around the room and came to me.

"Wow... He's so cute!" Despite not feeling comfortable, the dragon let Tiona pick him up and cuddle him.

"Well, he's not very useful yet."

"Don't say that! He'll be sad!"

"He knows he's not useful. He's just a baby. I'm sure he'll grow up to be very strong."

"I want him to stay like this forever." Tiona stroked the dragon's head, and I let out a sigh.

"I hope not. I want to explore the deeper floors. I can already get there, but it would be nice if he grew up to help me."

"I'm sure he'll get powerful. But don't overdo it! I don't want this little dragon to get hurt."

"Okay, okay..."
