第209掘:重なる (Part2)
The trio of beastmen said as much, attempting to drag Yuki out of the room.
"……Yuki-san is just too incredible."
"……We couldn't even keep up, *huff*, Yuki’s strength is just……"
Ria and Jessica must have chased after Yuki when he sprinted from the government building. Poor things. Did they really think they could keep up with Yuki when he was going all out?
"Seraria-oneechan!! Are you alright!!"
"Sister Seraria!! What about the baby!!"
"Yes, yes, let’s all calm down, shall we?"
"That’s right. We are in a hospital, after all."
Aslin and Firia were rebuked by Labyris and Shera. Even as doppelgangers, these two are quite cute.
"Yes, yes, young man. Seraria is fine. So, please send those doppelgangers back to the battlefield and come back in your own bodies. That goes for everyone else, too."
"「「Ah」」"
At Ratz’s words, it seemed everyone realized their mistake of returning here using their doppelgangers. This is… quite problematic, isn't it? But, understandably, I couldn't allow them to discuss matters while wearing the dirt-covered bodies of their doppelgangers for hygiene reasons. And so, it was decided that they would send the doppelgangers back to the New Continent and return in their true forms to talk.

**Side: Rurua**
Ahhh, seeing my husband in his armor!! It’s just too wonderful!! I want him to pin me down while he’s wearing that next time!!
*Hah!?* No, no, I need to ask how the defense of Betan City went first. Surely, my husband wouldn't have abandoned the city just for the sake of Seraria-sama’s delivery…
"Ah, the enemy army? I built a dungeon beneath their feet and sealed them off by making it look like a natural collapse. Here."
Saying that, my husband opened the management screen for the new dungeon. We, the waiting group, hurriedly opened the management screen for the new dungeon as well.
"……Isn't this the dungeon for large-scale armies that we all brainstormed?"
"……Oh my. I see, it’s perfect for an experiment. ……Though I feel sorry for the opponents."
As Seraria said, this is a dungeon we all designed to counter massive armies. We hadn't had a chance to use it yet, and as Ratz noted, it’s perfect for that purpose… though it really is a pity for them.
"Dear. Did you change your strategy for my sake?"
"Of course. It would have been the same for anyone else."
He answered immediately. Ah, my husband is just so wonderful. I can't even get angry at him like this. He didn't fail, and he’s flawless.
"……I can't even get angry at you like this. *Sigh*… Thank you, dear. I’m so happy you rushed over. ……Truly."
"Sorry for being late. I couldn't exactly cut short the time I spent observing the situation."
With that, the two embraced. *Umu-mu*, I’m jealous. Ah, I want my husband to hold me tight, too. But this is a moment I should yield to Seraria… Everyone else is watching them leisurely, so I suppose I’ll monitor the dungeon while munching on a nearby apple. But I’ll pull them apart in three minutes.
As I thought that, I reached for an apple on the table…
"Ugh!?"
My stomach—no, is the baby moving!? It’s hurting more than ever before!!
"Uuu……"
"Wait, Rurua, what’s wrong!?"
My husband, having finished his embrace with Seraria, noticed my distress and immediately rushed over to support me. But I wasn't in a state to be happy about that. Because…
"I, I think it’s time."
"「「「Eh!?"」」」"
I had no time to react to everyone’s shocked voices. My stomach is…
"Haa!! Haa…… *ngh*!!"
"Hey, Rurua!? D-doctor!! Hospital!! We have to take her to the hospital!!"
"No, Yuki-san, we’re already in the hospital, so please calm down!!"
"Grandma!!"
"I know, I know. First, everyone calm down. Take Rurua-chan to the delivery room. Come on, Yuki-chan, pull yourself together!"
"Ah, right. Rurua, I’m going to move you."
Saying that, he gently scooped me up.
Rurua went into labor first!! Now, the troubles are piling up! The Enaria army in the dungeon, the mysterious Dullahan, and the births of Rurua and Seraria’s children!! Just what is going to happen next?
