The Love You Give Away

I returned to the room with Stellaria after coming back from the Moon Capital and sending Nee-sama to the shrine.

"I'm back, Okaa-sama"

"Welcome back. I was worried since you were late. You went to Duke Krause's House, right?"

"Sorry. I should have come back here once"

I reported what happened today to Okaa-san.

"Is that so! Tsukikage is able to get married huh. A Duke House's oldest son, no less!"

"Eeh, Onee-sama looked incredibly blissful"

"Tsukuyomi. Let me thank you as well! Thanks"

"It is only natural since we are a family"

"So, you went straight to the Moon Palace to report it huh"

"Yes. It was a bit of a mistake"

"Ara, did something happen?"

"Eeh, the Okaa-samas ended up saying all kinds of things to Stellaria. Stellaria. It turned out like that because I didn't think it through again, sorry"

"No. It is alright. I am happy about it since I received nothing but advice. I will let my hair down from here on out"

"My, what's that matter?"

"The Okaa-samas, they were telling her to be even more beautiful if she is going to stand beside me, and to eliminate the pests that approach"

"Aah, is that what it is. The Onee-samas would want to say such things huh"

"Besides, I was asked about marriage as well. Like, 'how many wives will you be marrying?'"

"Is that so. How did you answer to that?"

"That, 'it is still not something I can think about'"

"I see. That will do just fine for Tsukuyomi. There is no need to think about it yet"

"Yes"

"Stellaria. Take a seat here"

"Yes. Armeria-sama"

"Stellaria. How about not simply letting your hair down, but tying part of it behind. Let's give it a little try"

Okaa-san braided the hair around Stellaria's temples and bundled them behind. It was done in the blink of an eye.

"Tsukuyomi. What do you think?"

"Yes. I think it is adorable"

"A-, adorable? is it?"

"Yeah. It is very adorable. Besides, rather than simply letting it down, it's easier to move because it's bundled to a certain extent, right? Please take a look in the mirror"

"Yes. Ah! Ye-, yeah. If it is like this, it is simple, and there are fellow knights who are doing it as well"

"Right? You, have never talked about hairstyles with the other knights before, right?"

"Yes. I have not"

"The Onee-samas, I think they are telling you to please start changing from such places"

"Ye-, yes! Understood. I will have them take a look at this and teach me how to tie it then"

"Yeah. Please do that"

"Armeria-sama. Thank you"

Stellaria left the room, and Lia and Mira entered, barely missing each other.

"Ah! Tsukuyomi-sama. Welcome back"

"Un. I'm back"

"Tsukuyomi. Speaking of which, Lia and Mira's replacements were decided"

"Aah, both their marriages are already right around the corner huh. So what kind of people are they?"

"One of them is Count Winkler House's second daughter, Layla, 15 years old. Another one is Viscount Kurs House's second daughter, Sienna, 16 years old"

"Huh? Sienna? It somehow feels like I've heard it before?"

"Do you know Sienna? She was working as a shrine maiden at the shrine"

"Aah, as I thought. If it is Sienna, then I know her. But why, did she quit being a shrine maiden and become a maid?"

"According to Tsukikage, she only ever talks about Tsukuyomi since meeting you. It seems she jumped on board without a second thought when she was asked, 'if you like him that much, how about transferring over since there's a maid vacancy'. Are you going to make her your bride?"

"I-, is that so......it is true that she is an adorable girl, but......marriage is a little......"

"Well, from here on out, you will come to see each other's faces every day after all. You can just think about it slowly"

"Understood. When will they start coming?"

"They will start coming next week"

"Well then, they will take over Lia and Mira huh"

"I guess it is about time we invite Lia, Mira, Veronica and their partners' parents to the castle"

"Yeah. I shall personally write the letter"

"Armeria-sama. Thank you"

"Lia, Mira. So, do you want to have a child right after getting married? Or will you give it some time?"

"I would like to have one quickly if possible"

"Me too"

"Have the both of you been recording in the basal body temperature chart?"

"Yes. I have been recording"

"I have also been recording"

Nevertheless, they sure somehow got very mature-looking in this half a year since they got engaged huh. Even though the two of them are still 16 years old. It's unthinkable on Earth.

Well, if the world is different, the common sense will also be different. I suppose I have no choice but to go along with the mindset over here.

"You two. You'll be the First Madam, right. What do you think about a second, a third wife coming?"

"It is not a problem"

"Yes. I am also not concerned"

"Why is that so?"

"There are few men in this world. I cannot be monopolising my husband"

"Yes. It is the same for me"

"Aah, that is if you think about the world, right. I am curious not about that but how you feel in your heart. How about it?"

"Yeah. Although I am concerned whether or not I will be able to get along with the other wives, I think it is better than being by myself since we can support our husband together"

"Since the Feudal Lord-sama is busy, I think it will be lonely if I am in the mansion by myself. I think it would be better if I could spend my time enjoyably with the other wives. It is the same for my mother as well after all"

"Aah, is that so. Now that you mention it, I guess that is true......as I thought, it looks like I didn't understand how the nobles in this world live. Thanks for telling me"

"No way. We are glad to be of any help"

That night, I talked to Okaa-san in bed.

"It looks like you gave marriage all kinds of thoughts today huh"

"I was thinking that a man in this world having many wives is a duty and was feeling that it is a bit of a burden. But after listening to what Mira and the others say, I guess it is fine if they are happy"

"Mira and the women in this world, they can probably think that way because they saw their parents and lived thinking that that's the given"

"Aah. That's what it is huh. If you are born on Earth with one father and mother, then that will become the given huh"

"Eeh, that's why it is not that either one is correct; it is the environment that shapes it the way it is"

"Then, seeing that I live in this world, I wonder if I should have many wives"

"You probably don't have to decide on that. You marry the person you love on Earth, right? In that case, here, too, you can just get married when you find the person you love. But you don't have to just decide on one person"

"Aah, I see! Yeah. It was simple. I just have to find the person I love"

"You probably ended up depressed because you were thinking about how you have to take someone you don't know as your bride. You just have to go and look for her after coming of age, don't you; the person you can love"

Going on a journey to search for a bride huh. It sure is something unthinkable on Earth huh.

Today is the first working day for the new maids, Layla and Sienna. Matilda the Head Maid brought the two of them over.

"Armeria-sama, Tsukuyomi-sama. Here are the ones who will join us from today onwards, Layla and Sienna"

"Please to meet you. I am, Count Mars Winkler's second daughter, Layla Winkler"

She has golden hair with beautiful green eyes. Her hair is long, and she bundles it like Stellaria previously.

I guess her height is about 165cm? I can tell that she has good proportions at one glance. Her face is that of a beauty with a defined nose and a slightly stern impression.

"Nice to meet you. I am, Viscount Giovanni Kurs' second daughter, Sienna Kurs"

Aah, as I thought, it's that girl who was a shrine maiden. She has tied her ash blonde long hair in the same way Layla.

Her eyes are also the same green as Layla's. Her height is slightly on the shorter side, at probably about 160cm. She has an adorable face with big and round eyes.

"I am Armeria. I'll be counting on you"

"I am Tsukuyomi. I will be counting on you"

Matilda left the room after the introductions were finished.

"Do the two of you know about Tsukuyomi?"

"It is my first time seeing him. I have heard from my parents that he is a God-sama"

"I have met him in the shrine, and I am aware of him. It is my honour to be able to serve God-sama"

"Haha. That's how it'd be huh......"

"Both of you. You're not wrong that Tsukuyomi is a God. But he's also a human. That's why there's no need to treat him specially. It's just that, I think there will be tons of things you will be surprised about when you are together with him from here on out, so how about you hear about those things from Lia and Mira beforehand"

"Understood"

A week has passed since the two of them came, and they seem accustomed for the most part. However, it looks like they're just not used to the sight of Okaa-san and me sleeping in the same bed though......

Today is the day we're calling Lia, Mira, Veronica, and their partners' parents to the castle. We have the bride side and the husband side sit separately with a long table between them in the reception room. The ones serving the tea are Nina, Layla, and Sienna, with Stellaria helping out as well.

We finished the long introductions, which you can even call a ritual for nobles, at the beginning and kicked things off from the explanation.

"Everybody, thank you for making the trip over today. Regarding what we will be talking about today, I had everybody gathered in order to have you learn about conceiving a successor in preparation for your sons and your daughters' marriage"

"Ooh! The well-being of our House will be in safe hands as well with this"

"We are really thankful"

I had the Light Engineer add an electric cable in the reception room and set up the computer and projector beforehand.

I hovered at one end of the long table and projected the projector's image on the white wall behind me.

What's projected is an image I took with the digital camera of the book on the female reproductive system I wrote. Basically, it's the form of projecting the book huge on the wall and making it easier to explain; in other words, it's Earth's presentation.

First, I explained the mechanism of how a child is made and the mechanism of the female body in line with the book. It seems everybody has read my book once, so it looks like they managed to understand that explanation.

"Everybody, was I able to get you to understand the general mechanism of how a child is made. Well then, I will talk about the most important thing from here on out"

"Is there, still more?"

"Eeh, here comes the crucial part. What is important is how much the two who got married are supported by their parents. Especially the husband's parents and family"

"Eh? It has something to do with us?"

"We are not the ones giving birth though......"

"That is a given. That's why I said 'support'"

"The most critical thing is, to not throw words like 'are you not pregnant with a successor yet?' 'can you give birth to a boy?' at the bride"

"Why is that so? We are just saying it because we are worried though......"

Mira's partner's mother asked with a disgruntled-looking face. I've said it as well at the world conference and the individual country's guidance, but as I thought, it sure isn't something that gets through easily huh.

"Well then, let me ask you. When you yourself got married into the family, have you not been told the same thing by your partner's parents?"

"Ah! Th-, that is......I was"

"At that time, how did you feel? Have you already forgotten?"

"I-, I......was worried that I would be chased out if I could not make a child, worried of what Otou-sama would be said to me back home"

"That must've been painful huh......and were you able to make a child right away?"

"No, it took 3 years"

"Eeh, that's right. When women get thrown with such words, they will get worried and their hearts will end up becoming exhausted. When they do, their menstruation will no longer come at the correct cycle, and there are those who go into a state where even if they are inseminated, and it is implanted, it doesn't grow inside their womb and they cannot get a child"

"I-, is that so!"

"Eeh, that's why, not just the parents, the husband as well. Please be be mindful, make sure not to say such insensitive words no matter what"

"Understood. We will bear it in mind"

"Also, you were saying you required 3 years to get pregnant with your first child, didn't you. There is another possibility to this; there are many instances where a woman's menstruation is not yet stable in their 10s. It may come once every one to two weeks, or it may also not come for 2 months. It is unnecessarily difficult to get pregnant until it stabilises"

"Come to think of it, when I got married, there were also instances where my menstruation did not come for about 2 months"

"Is that so. It's just that we cannot conclude whether the cause of that is because you were mid-puberty, or you were emotionally exhausted though. Whatever it is, we are able to reduce that possibility"

"For the young wife in her 10s whose body is still immature, you have to pay attention and care for them in particular"

"Yes! Understood"

"The next crucial thing is to take note of the husband's workload"

"What does it have to do with the husband?"

"That's what you would think huh. Making a child is not just on the woman. The man is also important"

Using House Laurel's story as an example without mentioning the name, I explained that you can't make a child if the husband is in an overworked condition.

"Listen up, men get infertility as well. You cannot blame it all on the woman"

"Yesーー! God-sama! I was mistaken!"

There's a slightly over-the-top Otou-san. Aah, it's Veronica's father. Veronica is looking embarrassed. That, too, is adorable.

"That's why the husband's body condition also has to be perfect. So that you don't overwork, please discuss it carefully with your parents and siblings and divide up the work"

"I understand. Thank you"

While hovering in the air, I slowly get close to Veronica, place both hands on Veronica's shoulders, lay my face on Veronica's shoulder,

"Last but not least, I like Veronica very much. Everybody of House Matthew. I am counting my adorable Veronica on you"

"Ye-, yes! We will bear it in mind!"

Next, I move behind Lia, place my hands on her shoulders, and bring my face close to her in the same manner,

"I like Lia's smile very much. Everybody of House Hawthorne. I'll be leaving my precious Lia in your hands"

"Yes! We will definitely cherish her!"

Lastly, I do the same for Mira as well,

"And then Mira as well. She's a girl I like very much. Everybody of House Schultz. If you ever make my precious Mira cry......you know what will happen, right"

"Yes! We promise. We will definitely cherish her"

I wonder if it ended up a little bit like a threat?

"Everybody. Thank you"

"Veronica. Lia. Mira. On the off chance, that anything painful or sad happens, please inform me right away. I will fly to wherever you are at any time with Teleportation"

"Tsukuyomi-sama! Thank you!"

"Thank you! Tsukuyomi-sama"

"Thank you very much"

Veronica, Lia, and Mira sniffled and cried.
