"It's a girl! It's a girl!" Sayo shouted as she rushed toward me in the lobby of the delivery house. She suddenly leaped into my arms, wrapping herself tightly around me.
I was so overwhelmed with joy that I didn't say anything and simply dropped Sayo back to the ground before marching straight into the delivery room, even though the midwives hadn't yet called me in. I couldn't wait another moment to see my m–no wife and our child.
Bursting inside with speed, the midwives were startled at first but quickly eased once they realized it was me.
"Heh, you just couldn't wait for us to invite you. Congratulations, sir—it's a baby girl," one of the three midwives said with a warm smile. In her hands was our crying baby, still covered in mucus and membranes. Tears unknowingly welled in my eyes.
Looking to the side, I saw Mom lying on the bed as another midwife tended to her private part, carefully cleaning and stitching her vaginal tears. Pain flickered in her eyes. I walked closer and held her hands.
"Sorry you had to go through this…"
"Ah, it's fine. Just be glad our daughter and I are safe, that's all that matters. Besides, it looks like you won the bet," Mom chuckled.
"Yeah, I won, but now's not really the time to laugh. Doesn't it make you bleed even more?" I asked, and Mom nodded softly. At the same time, the midwife stitching her finished her work.
"I've already sewn the tear. It's surprisingly small, considering your baby's size. It seems your husband has been putting in plenty of work down there, fufu," the midwife teased, making both Neru and me blush. She wasn't exactly lying either, I really had done a lot of work down there.
"Please allow us a moment to clean your daughter," another midwife said as she carried our baby away.
Just like that, five months passed. Yuuko and Inari also gave birth during this time. My daughters' names were Maya, Roku, and Bando. Maya was the oldest, five months ahead of Roku and Bando, and she was my first child with Neru. Roku was the daughter I had with Yuuko, and Bando the one I had with Inari.
Roku and Maya inherited their mothers' facial features, while Bando took after mine. She was practically a miniature version of me and even had a strange little giggle that sometimes gave me chills. She was also a fast learner, sitting upright at just two months, much earlier than Roku and often showed greedy tendencies, snatching things from her sisters. Watching her was like seeing a reflection of myself, which made me feel a bit guilty.
Nonetheless, I loved all my children dearly and showered them with affection. I hired two nannies to care for the babies while my wives managed the businesses I had established. They did far better than I expected, and Neru hardly went hunting anymore, only going occasionally out of her passion for it.
She also began teaching me the ninth and tenth dances of the technique, Sanguine Dance. Though she only had a rough outline of how they worked, she explained as much as she could and even gave incomplete demonstrations, since she could not fully perform the dances herself.
However, I slowly began to grasp the Sanguine technique—the ninth dance, an intricate array of footwork that requires moving at such a speed and pattern that no opponent could properly discern or predict. According to Mom's explanation, one must become one with speed itself, capable of sudden explosive bursts. The tenth dance, on the other hand, still feels vague to me, but it seems to revolve around becoming one with my weapon. I believe the key to unlocking it lies in first mastering the ninth dance.
To learn the ninth dance, I have been practicing the first through eighth dances on danger beasts and animals. It reached a point where several villages begged me to lessen my hunting because of the massive migrations it caused—especially of danger beasts, since their parts are vital. Still, through persistent training, I was able to gradually master the ninth dance without anyone realizing yet, not even Mom.
Well, that wrapped up today's training. I sheathed my sword and started heading home.
"Awoooooooooh!" My new pet wolf, Viper, howled excitedly as we set off. He's a black-horned wolf I captured and tamed. At first, I intended to kill him and sell his parts just like I did to my previous pet wolf, but I soon realized I couldn't get his true value in this village except by going to the empire. That's why I spared him at first, but over time, I started to like him. He's intelligent, and even though the villagers were initially terrified of his predatory aura, they eventually warmed up to him as well.
To the average person, Viper is a menace, a danger beast that could end them in minutes. I named him Viper because he isn't just any wolf; he evolved into a danger beast with unique abilities. From his horn, he can send out powerful vibrations that terrify his prey, and his teeth are both lethal and toxic. A single bite guarantees death. But his toxicity is also something he can control at will, making him all the more dangerous.
By nightfall, I finally arrived home. Entering inside, I saw my three wives breastfeeding our children, while Sayo sat on the opposite side of the living room. The reason I haven't married Sayo, even though she's now considered a full-grown woman, is because in this world, married women are expected to conceive in the first year. It isn't compulsory, but it's seen as the norm. So, Sayo and I agreed to wait.
"Welcome, honey!" my wives greeted in unison, and I responded in kind. Maya bounced in her mother's lap at the sound of my voice, though she didn't stop suckling for a second. Roku and Bando were fully engrossed in their feeding as usual; once they latch on, they become completely absorbed.
"Welcome back. How was training today?" Sayo asked as she walked over and sat on my lap. She had grown more comfortable with the other women despite their age difference, and even spent the night sometimes.
"Well, it was exhausting. I feel drained, but I've made progress," I answered. At that, Mom and the others' eyes lit up. They knew I was tackling a difficult technique, though only Mom understood how difficult.
"Ah, I see… that's good to hear. Since you've progressed, we've decided to give you a reward," Sayo said suddenly, glancing at the other women whose faces flushed crimson.
What are they planning?
Sayo took my hand and pressed it against her left breast. She wasn't wearing a bra, and her nipple was hard under my palm. Then she leaned close, her warm breath brushing my ear.
"We're going to have an orgy tonight… after the babies are asleep."
