Chapter 262 – Going into Labor! Double Birth of the Second Generation

“Hoi hоi hоi!”

“Mashirо, you’rе аlmоst аt full tеrm—уou should tаke it eаsу.”

“But sоmеhоw, I’vе bеen fеeling rеally gооd lаtеly! Foоd tastеs amazing, and thе bаbies inside are wiggling аrоund!”

Mashiro, with her big bellу, еnergetically gоеs about hеr housеwоrk.

Тhаnks to the suppоrt from the Grimоirеs, hеr physiсаl сondition is еxcеllent.

Hmm…

“What’s wrong, Маrinna?”

Well… it’s sоmеthing like thе moon’s fluсtuations, I supрosе? Тhey seem a bit unstаble. I wаs thinking it might аffеct thе babies.

“Yоu’rе knоwledgeаble аbоut thаt sоrt оf thing.”

A bluе bооk floаts uр gently.

The Sea Grimoire, Marinna.

Come to think of it, the sea is strongly influenced by the moon’s phases.

Since the moon is said to affect women’s physical conditions too, it’s no surprise Marinna is well-versed in pregnancy-related matters.

That area is Marinna’s specialty, indeed. Until now, Me has been supporting alone, so Marinna hasn’t intervened…! Me’s expertise lies in the technical aspects! From here on, I’d like to borrow Marinna’s help!

Ehh! I don’t want to help Karafuri!

“Now, now, don’t say that.”

If Master says so… Just this once, okay?

Thank you~! Yay! Amazing! The most considerate Grimoire of all!

Oh-ho!? No, not at all!

Marinna, getting carried away by the praise.

While this was happening, Mashiro let out a sound. “Huh?”

Then she dropped to her knees.

“Ouch. Owwwwwwww! Ah, ah, ah, something’s wrong. This is bad! Owwww!”

“Karafuri, pain relief—”

It’s better not to stop this! We’ll use pain relief when they’re coming out! They’re about to be born!!

Due to the moon’s influence, they’re coming early—this is it!

“Wha—what!?”

Immediately contacting the maternity hospital Floppy had reserved, I transformed into Spice.

Holding Mashiro in my arms, I flew into the sky.

“Whoa!! Float!”

“Ah—! They’re coming—! They’re—being—born!!”

The Grimoires zoomed after Spice.

Everyone was desperate now.

No time to be stored in Spice’s pouch!

Landing at the maternity hospital, Spice shouted,

“I have a reservation!! My wife is in labor!!”

The nurse was startled by Spice’s appearance, but being a true professional!

A stretcher came rushing over, and Mashiro was taken to the delivery room.

“Sir? Hurry!”

“Yes!”

Master, your form, your form—!!

“No, Spice’s form is better for support, so I’m going like this! Whoaaaa!! Give birth safely, Mashiro!”

Spice rushed clattering into the delivery room!

Ha—! Painless delivery Magic!!

Magic for a smooth birth… Smooth Baby!

“Whoa—!? Magic!? Ngh, the babies are sliding right out!!”

The obstetrician was utterly shocked, but being a true professional, she quickly accepted the situation.

The delivery took about an hour, with a boy and a girl coming out in that order.

Barely avoiding premature birth, huh.

But since they were crying healthily in a duet, it seemed everything was fine.

No incubator needed.

The Grimoires were cheering, Whooooooo!

But dealing with them can wait!

“Mashiro, you did great! I’m moved! Rest well!”

“Ah—, Mr. Shogo was holding my hand the whole time, right? I thought it felt pretty small, and it was Little Spice’s form… Little Spice’s form!?”

“This form was more convenient for using Magic to assist in various ways.”

“Even though your identity might be exposed.”

“My wife is more important than my identity!”

“Mr. Shogo—!”

Mashiro is so energetic right after giving birth!

It seems that with the complete support of Magic and science, she gave birth with minimal strain on her body, so she still had stamina left.

For now, since she likely won’t be able to walk for a while, she’ll rest at the hospital.

“I’ll bring clothes and stuff from home! This time in my original form…”

“That’s good! Uho—, they’re finally here, the two babies of me and Mr. Shogo! They’re so tiny!”

“Yeah, tiny. I’ll also contact your parents.”

“Please do!”

Immediately flying home with Flight!

Seems Mentaris, Marinna, and Karafuri stayed at the hospital.

They seem to be in Spice Clone mode, watching the nurses taking care of the babies.

The nurse is bewildered, but being a true professional, she does her job properly.

As Spice was leaving,

“Could it be… that this is Little Spice’s wife and babies…?” she muttered, so she’s definitely part of the Meat Brigade!

We can adjust her memory later…

And so, Spice returned to being Shogo…

After preparing various things, contacting his in-laws, and also letting his own father know (on the other end of the phone, there was the sound of his father fumbling around—seemed flustered), he headed back to the maternity hospital!

“Oh, Spice, it seems quite noisy.”

“Ah, President. Actually, my children were born.”

“Oh!! The rumored twins? Bring them by sometime. I look forward to seeing what talents they’ve inherited. Ah, this is a congratulatory gift from me. Made from the dragon jewel I created recently. Placing it near infants grants them vitality.”

“Ah, thank you.”

I received something strange, but if it’s a gift, I’m grateful.

I’ll place it nearby as a sort of charm.

I hailed a taxi and headed straight to the maternity hospital.

Well, I’ll be…

To think I’d become a parent…

And when I arrived at the hospital room, both Mashiro and the babies were sleeping soundly.

Both mother and children are in excellent health.

That’s what matters most.
