One week… two weeks… three weeks… time slipped by so quickly that a whole month was gone in the blink of an eye. Yuuko had officially broken things off with Kado, and rumors of his mistreatment of her spread like wildfire, all thanks to my witnesses (Leyasu, Sayo, and Tatsumi), who testified before the village head.
As a result, Kado was ordered to pay a hefty amount of money to Yuuko as damages and was strictly forbidden from approaching her again. While things seemed to be turning out well for Yuuko, the same couldn't be said for me. Mom was furious about my decision to make Yuuko my wife, and things only got worse when she discovered my relationship with Sayo.
She refused to talk to me for a few days, but eventually, I managed to convince her. I didn't want to rely on my power every time I ran into problems, though of course, I was always ready to use it if things went too far.
"Honey, food is ready!" Mom called out as she entered with a large tray holding two plates. I quickly stood and helped her, taking the tray from her hands. She looked adorably beautiful as she walked, her round belly slightly protruding, her heavy tits swaying with each step, dark wet patches visible around her areolas from leaking milk. To top it all off, her thick thighs and round ass made the sight even more tempting.
Once she sat down, she let out a soft sigh, carefully setting the plates on the dining table. Suddenly, she placed her hand on her stomach, her face scrunching with slight discomfort.
"Our baby is kicking really hard. He's just like you," Mom said with a smile, gently rubbing her belly.
I sneered at her words. I knew exactly what I had put inside her.
"How do you know it's a boy?"
"Umh, can't you feel the way he kicks? It's obvious," Mom said, gesturing with her palms stretching outward.
"I disagree. That doesn't prove anything. I believe it's a girl. Tatsumi even agrees with me," I replied, challenging her claim again.
"Mmph, no one knows a baby better than the mother. I'm literally the one carrying our child," Mom argued.
"Our baby was inside my balls before I gave her to you. Do you really think you know better than me?" I smirked, leaning forward and planting a sudden kiss on her lips, catching her off guard.
Her face turned bright red in embarrassment.
"You never let me win an argument," she muttered, turning her head away.
"Eh, do you want me to lie on purpose? Besides, you're so cute when you make that face. Let's make a bet, then," I suggested.
"A bet?"
"Yes. We'll both put something of equal value at stake. If it's a boy, I'll give up my plan of going to the empire. Now, what are you going to put at stake, Mom?"
At my words, her eyes immediately lit up. She had never been on board with my plan to travel to the empire in the first place. A smirk curved on her lips.
"Umh, I'll think about it. I need something of equal value, but I don't know what to put at stake," Mom said, rubbing her chin, clearly running out of words while racking her brain.
Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.
"Mom, what if you teach me the ninth and tenth dance of the sword technique you taught me?" I suggested.
As expected, Mom narrowed her eyes. "The forbidden steps of the Sanguine Dance? No way, Okun… hmph," she sharply refused. Her rejection never failed to amaze me, after all, even with hypnosis, Mom would never teach me the ninth and tenth dance. That fact alone proved that my power wasn't as omnipotent as I once believed. I could command her to do many things, yet when it came to this, it was impossible.
So far, this was my only true rejection, and it made me wonder why my power failed to bend her will. Still, there had to be more to the ninth and tenth dance than I imagined. The first to eighth steps of Sanguine Dance were already overwhelming, then the final two must be beyond terrifying. Without them, the technique wasn't complete. Thinking deeper, maybe fate itself wanted me to master this. My mother—a powerful, mysterious woman with a strange past, chose to live quietly in this shabby village when she could easily rise in the empire, gain fame, and even wield a Teigu. Perhaps this was my hidden trump card against Esdeath and Akame… who knows.
"Come on, Mom… I think that's fair. I won't accept any other stake," I pressed firmly.
"Are you threatening me?" Mom asked, her face slightly flushed. "Sigh, I should've never told you about the ninth and tenth dance. Even though I know them, I've never performed them. They're nearly impossible to execute. I only learned of them by sneaking into my father's vault before the fire incident. The ninth and tenth steps demand movements so complex and impossible, I doubt any mortal could achieve them. The speed alone is insane. That's why they're strictly forbidden but I learned them anyway, hehe," she explained.
Her words made everything click. If ordinary humans couldn't perform the ninth and tenth dance, then only beings beyond human limits like Teigu users or modified humans stood a chance. If that was the case, then maybe I could do it.
"Mom, just use it as the stake. It's not like I'm guaranteed to win," I said, and I caught the smile returning to her lips.
"Haha, true. It's not like you're right either way. Our baby is a boy, and I don't want you running off to the empire. I want us to live happily as a family, so yes, I accept your bet," she said, and we sealed it with a pinky promise.
Afterward, we started eating. Once we finished, I reached for water, only to realize she hadn't brought any. As I tried to stand, she tugged at my clothes.
"Okun-chan, m-my breasts are really full, you know. You haven't been sucking them lately like you usually do. Is it because of that woman?" Mom asked with burning jealousy, lifting her blouse to reveal her two swollen breasts, her nipples stiff and spraying milk on their own.
