Day 106


Day 106

This morning, the Sisters started to show the signs of their pregnancy.

Children born with the blood of an Ogre have a much faster growth rate than humans. The chance of the baby being a human, however, was quite low, but it has happened before.

Both of their stomachs had suddenly swollen this morning. That much was clear.

I contacted Gobujii directly at the settlement. 

When I asked what should be done, he said, "When the mother with an Ogre child has her belly swell, it means that, in a short while, the baby will have grown big'n ready for birth. In the case of an Ogre child, it's most likely born the same way a human child would be, but an Ogre child is twice the size of a human child. So if the human body is too small, the child might force its way out through the belly"

Hearing this, my face quickly turned pale. I sent several Skeletons in a hurry to search for an ideal place for the Sisters to rest. Since this was an emergency, I refused to be bothered about the Princess and left her with the Boy Knight. Though the Princess was young, she seemed to understand the gravity of the situation and remained very quiet.

Dhammi-chan, Redhead, Alchemist-san, and Blacksmith-san were quite hard to encourage when they were seeing the Sisters suffering like this. During the move, the Sisters quickly became visibly skinny and frail from having their nutrients sucked by the children growing in them. I hurriedly gave them my Blood Elixir to drink along with parts of my flesh. While they were reluctant to eat my flesh, I forced them to do so regardless. It had an outstanding effect and certainly bought us some time.

After roughly thirty minutes, a Skeleton returned with the location we required. While providing emergency treatment, we followed the Skeleton into a cave within a Cluster of Mountains. We quickly rushed inside.

In an instant, I vaporized the creatures of the cave, killing without a single thought on my mind.

Due to the scent of fresh blood in the air, the Fire and Illusion Lords guarded the entrance while Wind Lord-chan investigated the cave to ensure nothing lurked beneath.

Everyone was very quiet due to the situation. Not even Kumajiro or Kurosaburo made a single sound.

I laid the Sisters, who were in great pain from their pregnancy, in a bed I built. I then focused on replenishing the energy that was being directly absorbed by the children in their abdomens. 

Redhead and the other girls could do nothing but watch. They were speechless.

The two girls quickly began to grow very heavy due to the children growing within them.

The pain was caused by the rapid changes in their bodies. Their abdomens had grown to be so swollen that their skin seemed as if it would tear at any moment. 

I tried to cure them with every skill I had. I was fully committed to preventing their stomachs from exploding.

The pain these two were feeling was suppressed to some extent by infusing my Elixir blood with an anesthesia, even though it could only do so much. The two were still suffering substantially.

Since this was my first time dealing with a situation like this, and especially since these were my own children, sweat beads formed on my forehead and flowed endlessly.

Time slowed down all around me; I had no idea how much could have passed. An hour? Ten hours or more might've pass and I wouldn't know. How long would their pregnancy last? I had no idea and all I wanted was to help them survive.

The fetuses managed to finish developing, and soon, our children began to struggle to be born. Both of the Sisters were tormented beyond reason.

Their screams become very loud, causing the rest of the girls to grow very pale.

I subjected the Older Sister to an incredibly powerful anesthesia. I then cut her belly open with a scalpel covered with a bactericidal effect that was created with [Top Brace Embodied], and activated [Soul Fixture].

Seeing what I was doing, they let out a very short scream "Hiii-" but quickly covered their mouths to avoid distracting me.

A Cesarean Section.

I demanded Dhammi-chan come next to me and prepare to pull out the little girl covered in blood from the belly. As this process continued, I poured immense amounts of my blood into the sister while using healing abilities to heal all of the damage. A large pool of blood formed on the ground. Recovery skills being used one after another, soon the wound was closed without leaving a single scar on the Older Sister's abdomen.

My child... Dhammi-chan handed her to me and I quickly bathed her. Cheerful cries echoed through the cave. Just as I took my first sigh of relief, the Younger Sister began to suffer greatly. I repeated the same process again, and safely removed a boy from her belly.

The echoing cries of a young boy and little girl rang throughout the cave, and my vision suddenly started to blur.

Everyone was greatly relieved that both of the Sisters survived. Both my and Dhammi-chan's hands were shaking violently after such an experience.

I barely had the physical strength left to hold my newborn children in my arms. After a moment, I handed them both over to each of the sisters. After several minutes, the children already began to desire breast milk.

I felt sky high. I, Ogarou, after living for one hundred and six days, had just became a father of two children. It was probably too early, given how young I was, even for a Ogre. Oh, I sometimes forget, 107 days ago I was twenty-five years old and a human. That actually puts me at a suitable age for a father.

Both of the children were half Ogre half Human, or [Ogre Mix-blood].

If the human parent is genetically strong, there is the chance of a [High-Ogre] or a child born with human characteristics. They are slightly weaker than an Ogre child and look like a human, but the genes for the child are divided equally, and merely falls in favor of the human characteristics. They are quite powerful on their own, and have greater intelligence than most Ogres.

However, there was a one in a million chance that a rare species is born. This race is called [Chaos species].

For me, I inherited the Ogre strength and my human mind, so I'm an Ogre, but not quite an Ogre. That is how I should probably think.

To summarize the information from Gobujii and the others, these two children can obtain both [Jobs] and [Rank-ups]. So they had access to nearly all of my benefits. They would become truly powerful when they grew up.

According to Gobujii, they also had access to [Evolution Rank Up]. This is apparently a very powerful and rare occurrence that will give them access to extinct branches of the Goblin Rank up tree.

It is a very powerful thing if you ever access it. Hearing this I grew quite excited myself.

But, since they are not human and not quite Ogre, there is a great risk that they could be killed if they were discovered. According to Gobujii, in the past, whenever the birth of a Human-Ogre child was discovered, parties were raised to slay the creature before it could develop.

Half breeds with monster races are taboo, it would seem.

There is also the risk that the human part is consumed by the Ogre half, but that only happens in rare cases.

In the worst case scenario, if I were to be killed, these children could survive in human society due to them being half human. Once they were born and able to defend themselves, as well as proving not to be of the Chaos breed, there won't be a high risk of being attacked.

There have been kings and warlords in human society in the past who could have easily been half breeds. They were beings that used their immense power to carve out realms of their own, but that past was swept up by time. These kings could have been the product of an Evolution-up.

It was something that very few could even hope to achieve in their lifetime.

This gets my thoughts rolling as to the strength gained from such a rank-up.

What wondrously frightening power.

By the way, all of us had started out as Goblins and then became as we were through multiple Rank-ups. The idea of these children being born that way is quite abnormal.

It was something that was beyond our common sense, so I inquired Gobujii about it.

It would appear that he was also not too sure as to why this was, making a joke that we should kill them before disaster struck, or something of that nature. His previous knowledge was from Goblins being born in these circumstances, so such a thing as a child being ranked up from birth was never seen before, at least during his time.

There wasn't even a speck of thought within me that would consider killing my children. They are amazing creatures that have been born to me. I fully plan to raise them to the best of my abilities. I don't plan to coddle them a single bit though. They will be given full Spartan training beyond anything that I would even put Ogakichi-kun through once they grow up in a few days. They are my children, and as such, they will be treated with the harshest struggles for survival imaginable.

In the future, I might even consider dividing the group into mix-blood groups that have special abilities. It might be useful later. Our mercenary group will be branching out into different fields one day, so preparation and thought are always necessary. Though, for now, I will put these plans in the recesses of my mind. 

I was a father. I simply stood there as my children were suckling from their mothers.

On their foreheads there were some blackish-brown skin where a red tattoo in the exact same pattern as mine was engraved.

On the back of my daughter's right hand is a Demon Orb of gold while color, while on the back of my son's left hand was a silvery Demon Orb. As I was also an ogre with a mix of human and Ogre blood, I wonder if I will ever develop an orb.

I'll think about this later.

My daughters will be lovely and beautiful, full of strength and majesty. My sons will be fearless, powerful, and wise. I shall play the role of the mighty yet doting father. Ah, having children will certainly be interesting.

I began to take measurements of my children. My daughter was roughly seventy centimeters, while my son was clearly bigger than eighty centimeters. With that size, the risk of them bursting out of the Sister's bellies was no joke.

If I had not been here, the sisters would have died and been eaten by the children. 

Though, such talk is best avoided. Everything went smoothly.

The girls simply praised the exhausted Sisters while they were coming to terms with the latest events.

While these children are said to be taboo children, I declared right there and then that they would be allowed to grow and grow, to become powerful, and to follow their father in many adventures and battles for survival.

With that, the Sisters let out a sigh of relief.

There was a little anxiety though, the Sisters were still having complex thoughts about willingly having an Ogre's child after all. I made vows with each of them that I would continue to grow stronger and defend my children.

Goodness, I sound like some sort of heroic figure...

After the children finished feeding, I embraced them again with all of my caring. The next one to hold them was Dhammi-chan. Normally, it is unwise to be hugging the children as soon as they are born, but these had my own blood flows through them.

Their race is beyond that of just a human.

There was no problem with them being hugged a little.

I wrapped them in blankets made out of my yarn and passed them to the girls.

They cried while away from their mothers, but then quickly calmed down.

The final one to hold the children was the Princess, who until now, had been quietly staring at the situation from the wall of the cave.

After I looked over towards her, she came over and climbed onto my shoulder. 

The Princess was now holding one of the children with both of her hands. For the first time, the child slowly fell asleep in the Princess' arms.

It was small, but I certainly saw a smile for a moment.

This whole episode might have been a good experience for the Princess.

After all of the excitement, I think all of us could use some rest.

Spending the children's first day sleeping in a cave is just how I spent my first day.

As I thought that, it began to rain outside, so it might've been good to just stay.

Today I fell asleep between the Sisters, our children between us.

For the time being, the daughter will be named Auro, and my son will be named Argento.

The mix of their colors was quite interesting to say the least.

I wonder what the cause of that would be.

Just as I thought that, I drifted off to sleep.
