Chapter 459 - Meas Childbirth Riot (3)
Chapter 459 - Mea's Childbirth Riot (3)
I rode on the back of my father-in-law, Melzef, and headed straight for the Marren village.
From the look of Shibi’s message, it seemed that there was no time to spare.
When we arrived at the village, the Marren people groaned.
They all looked at Melzef and were terrified.
After all, Melzef was a huge man with a strong face.
It must have been quite intimidating to see him gasping for breath and staring at his surroundings with bloodshot eyes.
“Abel, where’s my daughter?”
“Head that way!”
As I indicated the way with my finger, Shibi came coughing after us.
“…… P, Please wait, Abel-san.”
At that moment, a small, monkey-faced, old man in an apron blocked the way.
He was Penrath, one of the former four great priests of the water gods.
“Abel-sama! You’ve returned! And that man is ……”
“Old Pen, this is my father-in-law.”
“I see …… Is that so. I have something to report to Abel-sama.”
Penrath spoke happily.
I gulped. I wondered if the birth had already been completed.
“Here, look at this! This is a letter from Ms. Alta to us! At last, Ms. Alta has finished building the magic wave tower!”
Penrath held up the letter.
“W-What!?”
I knew that Altamir had been rebuilding the magic wave tower.
I’ve visited the Fage territory a few times to lend a hand.
It was said that she was contributing to the development of the territory by generously using the magic theories she had developed while she was holed up in the tower.
It was all for the purpose of raising funds to rebuild the Magic Wave Tower.
Because of Mea’s pregnancy, I didn’t go to check on her much.
In the meantime, I had received several threatening letters from Altamir, telling me to hurry up and come back to help.
I thought it would take a little longer, but I had no idea that it was already finished.
As long as we had the magic wave tower that Altamir was building, we would be able to connect the magic cell phone Magiphone throughout the Dinrat Kingdom.
In other words, it was as if a cell phone had been brought into this world.
You can call as many people as you want from a distance.
“It seems that the link between the magic wave tower and the magic cell phone Magiphone has already been completed using the theory left by Abel-sama! This is going to revolutionize the world!”
I gulped.
The Magiphone is a complete over-technology for this world.
It will literally cause a revolution.
Even on Earth, the development of communication technology has had a profound effect on civilization.
“And this was enclosed! It looks like it’s already been linked.”
Penrath holds up a simple leather belt with a disk made of magic ore on it.
This magical device that resembles a wristwatch is the magic cell phone Magiphone.
When Penrath touches it a little bit, a hologram unfolds.
There, Altamir’s face appeared large.
She had a big smile on her face.
In the background, the members of the alchemist division were posing for a piece of paper.
“Is that old Pen? It looks like it arrived safely!”
“Haha, It’s this fool, Ms. Alta! I’ve read your letter! As expected from Ms. Alta! Oh …… and Abel-sama is here too! Shall I switch?”
“Is Abel there? Hurry up! Switch with him already! I’m doing well, but I’ve got a lot of problems …… Anyway, I need some advice! Abel! You never show up at all! I know Mea-chan is having a hard time, but I’m having a really hard time too, and not in a good way! I have a lot of ideas that you might like, what a waste! Now take Mea-chan and come back to the Fage territory!”
After speaking quickly, Altamir banged on the desk to hurry up.
“There are things that can’t be helped through the magic cell phone Magiphone so hurry up and come to the Fage territory! Amazing things are really happening right now! Anyway, there’s something I need you to tell me verbally right now…!”
“…… Old Pen, please turn off your Magiphone. I’m not in the mood for that right now.”
I shook my head and said so.
“…… I understand, Abel-sama. That’s the way it is, so please forgive me, Ms. Alta.”
Penrath said, and began to play with the buttons on his magic cell phone Magiphone.
“W-Why! Abel, old Pen! Wait a minute! Wait! Please!”
Altamir’s desperate expression appeared on the screen.
The hologram was cut off with a snap.
Of course, I’m concerned about the completed magic cell phone Magiphone, and the assignment of Altamir.
“But right now, Mea is my priority.”
I said, and Shibi opened stares with his mouth open.
“Abel-san, you’ve grown up …… You used to be all about the magic.”
…… What does Shibi think I am.
I then went with Melzef to Mea.
The birth hadn’t started yet.
She was lying on the bed, with my mother nearby.
“Abel, you’re back ……!”
Mea said, then looked down at Melzef below me.
“F, Father!? W-Why are you here ……!”
Melzef was silent and nodded heavily.
He seemed to be having trouble deciding what to say.
Later, there were signs of a full-blown birth, so we had to temporarily ask Melzef to stay in the other room.
My father somehow managed to stop him and quiet him down, as he insisted that he was leaving because he just wanted to see his daughter.
The birth went off without a hitch.
As predicted, they were male and female twins.
The boy’s eyes were round and he looked a little like Mea.
He has blue hair on his head.
It is probably due to the Doom tribe.
The girl had white hair and horns.
She inherited the white hair of the Marren and the horns of the Doom tribe.
“O, ohhhhh ……!”
“It’s Abel and Mea’s baby!”
We knew from astrology that they were male and female twins, so we had decided on their names in advance.
The boy was Medio and the girl was Alma.
I took turns holding the twins with Mea.
“Medio, I’m going to raise both you and Alma to be great sorcerers ……!”
I muttered as I stroked Medio’s head.
I’m sure that these children will be raised to become sorcerers like me, or even better than me.
If I become their teacher and teach them while they’re still young, they’ll easily become a much better sorcerer than me.
“Mea has to protect him ……”
Mea said as she hugged the girl tightly as if to protect her from something.
At that moment, Melzef came into the room, accompanied by my father.
Melzef looked at the twins in turn.
Alma, who was being held by Mea, saw Melzef and extended her arms to him.
“Ah …… ahh ……!”
Melzef’s strong face relaxed a little.
Then, when his eyes met mine, he shook his head and tightened his face.
Then Melzef bowed deeply to Mea.
“I’m sorry, Mea, …… I aimed at your life …… and, in my weakness, I could not even apologize for it properly until now.”
Melzef throws his knees to the floor and bows his head even deeper.
“I’m not asking you to forgive me …… but can I ask you to forgive your mother …… Nelea? The reason she was so hard on you was so that I would not find out that you were a red stone. It’s all my fault.”
“Lift up your head, Father! …… And, Mea knows that father has always thought of me …… and that mother has always cared for Mea.”
“Mea ……”
Tears welled up in Melzef’s eyes.
“U, um, how’s mother?”
After a moment of hesitation, Melzef opened his mouth.
“…… In fact, a month after Mea left the village, Nelea was turned to stone. She was probably cursed by a spirit who wanted the red stone. But that curse has already been lifted. She’s fine now. Don’t worry.”
Mea was a little surprised, but she let out a relieved breath.
I have an idea about the petrification.
It must be the Great Spirit Sim.
He had the curse of petrification.
However, I defeated him during the Silfheim riot.
The curse must have been lifted at that time.
“I don’t care how many years it takes, so when you’re ready …… please visit our village with Abel and the children. Nelea has always wanted to see Mea, too.”
Melzef bowed his head once more.
“Yes, father. Mea will definitely take Abel and then Medio and Alma to the …… Doom tribe’s village. So please don’t give me that look.”
Melzef spilled tears he had barely been able to hold back and fell to the ground.
Then the Doom tribesmen, Melzef’s subordinates who had arrived late, were led into the room by my parents.
One of them was pushing a stroller I had seen in the forest.
