Chapter 144 - Pregnant.

I got home sometime later. I was excited about the message I had received. 'Since my system will return tomorrow, I'm calmer.'

"So, did you find the herb I talked about?"

"Hm? Ah, no, I was just walking."

"I see. Before you go up, know that Lili wants to talk to you."

"With me? Why?"

"I don't know; she's been locked in her room since Hestia left. She asked me to let you know to go see her when you arrived."

"All right." I don't remember anything bad happening...maybe it was because of that? But I stopped when she asked me to stop; I didn't force her into anything. She should have talked to me yesterday if she was so bothered.

I went upstairs and knocked on the door.

"Lili?"

"Come in." Her voice was low. If I had to tell from the tone of her voice, she was a little sad or discouraged about something.

"What happened?" As soon as I entered, I closed the door and walked to the bed. Lili was lying there with her body covered. I sat on the edge of the bed and brought my hand up to her head.

I stroked her ears, and Lili winced. She is acting strange.

"What happened? Is it because of what happened yesterday? I promise I'll never do anything like that again; I won't try to force you into anything. I got too carried away."

"That's not it!" Lili stood up suddenly. Her ears were erect, and she was staring at me with dread. She was trembling. "I... I...." Lili brought her two hands over her face.

"Hey, calm down. Just explain to me what happened." I tried to calm her down. I came closer and hugged her. Lili hugged me tightly with her thin arms and took a deep breath. She was very nervous, probably a little short of breath.

However, what Lili said in my ear while we were hugging, put me in an even worse state. It was like a bullet that hit my head.

"I think I'm pregnant."

It was like a whirlwind of feelings that made me lose track of everything. Some strange images flashed through my mind, and I had forgotten to breathe. It was not something I was expecting to hear at this moment.

I began to tremble along with Lili.

I didn't know if it was from fear, worry, or happiness.

"So he is here." God looked at the translucent screen in front of him. On the screen, a large map was displayed. It was a giant map with five continents with unknown names.

At the eastern edge of the map, on the continent called "Wolfhein," a little red dot was glowing. God smiled, satisfied, and then closed the map.

"I didn't think it would be possible to trace it that way, but it worked." God was holding a silver pendant with a small gemstone in it. It was a necklace that emitted quite powerful magic.

And it had traces of that man's magic on the pendant.

"It was good that I kept this all this time. But why did I keep it?" Some memories came to God's mind—memories of when he and that man were still friends.

The two sat on a sophisticated sofa while drinking beer and chatting happily. God sighed and avoided thinking about it. After everything that had happened, there was no way they could ever be friends again.

"So, did you make it?"

"Yes, it was easy. I traced him using the rest of his magic present in this pendant. Since I can scan the entire world of [ Tera ], I was able to find him easily."

"But didn't he foresee that? That it would be easy to find him."

"He probably did. He's not such an idiot." God started to think better, and probably that man wants to be found. He didn't even try to hide.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I will send a message to Luan letting him know that it will be all settled soon, and then I will go to find out what that man did."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need; I can handle myself."

"I understand. If you need help, I'll be there for you. Call me if necessary."

"I'll do that."

The woman disappeared, and God sat down on his couch. He sent the message to Luan and smiled when he saw his reaction.

"I'm going to eat a hamburger and then deal with that bastard." God placed the pendant in its special storage.

I continued in silence. I didn't know how to react; it took me a while to recover. "So..." Those words came out of my mouth with difficulty.

"I'm still not sure, but..." Lili hugged me tighter.

"It's okay... If you are pregnant, I will take responsibility for it. You have no reason to worry." I stroked Lili's head. As much as I said it like it was no big deal, my hand shook.

I'm not ready to be a father! This is too sudden.

'I remember talking a few times about getting her pregnant, but I was just kidding... I was imagining myself in a hentai and was thinking shameful things.' Haaa~~ Honestly...

"..."

"Lili. I will repeat it... If you are pregnant, I will take responsibility for it, and we will raise this child together, do you understand?"

"Yes..." Lili's eyes were full of tears.

"But I have to be honest. I'm not ready to be a father..."

"..."

"But still... I'm very happy. If I'm going to become a father, I want to give this child a life I didn't have."

"?"

"Well, I didn't have a father, so I know how my child would feel if I left and didn't care about them. I will never do something like that." I had few memories of my father.

"I didn't know about that..."

"Don't worry. So you're calmer now?"

"What about you? You're still shaking, you know? Don't try to act like everything is fine. Hehehe." Lili finally let out a laugh.

"Well, it was a shock to me, you know?"

"But calm down; we are not sure yet..."

"I trust your intuition, so if you say you're pregnant, I'm sure you are. But just in case, let's hide it from the others for now, okay?"

"Okay, let's do that."

We hugged again and smiled happily. Honestly, I'm very happy right now.
