Chapter 287: The Potential Of My Child!

-----

But why would it take that little time?

So strong?! Maybe it won"t be easy to handle…

But how do children develop in this world?

Wait, so it will be some kind of chimera?!

I see… You probably can see its gender already, right? Well, don"t tell me, I kind of want it to be a surprise for both of us.

After evolving so much, the System"s ability to a.n.a.lyze things had become insane. She can get all this info out of the baby with just a glimpse of my eyes.

Also, the System A.I. had become incredibly more complex and detailed in its descriptions, which helps a lot at understanding completely what is going on at times.

Which is amazing, of course!

Now, I will tell Benladann.

"I"ve a.n.a.lyzed the baby… Although I can"t see the gender, I can calculate that it might be born in around two months, maybe a bit less…" I said.

"Oh my… R-Really?!" asked Benladann.

"Yup, not gonna take that long, eh?" I laughed.

"T-This is a bit too soon! Seeing how a month goes flying… In two months I"ll be giving birth…" sighed Benladann, getting a bit nervous.

Her mother quickly sat at her side and hugged her.

"Don"t worry dear, we"ll help you out in giving birth. I"ve already given birth once, so I know how to deal with it, and Draugann here was a birthing nurse too, so she knows her stuff." Said Benlah.

"Thanks a lot, Benlah, we really appreciate it," I said.

"Don"t worry dear. That"s what family is for." Said Benlah while smiling warmly. My mother-in-law was a gentle and motherly woman, she was already like my second mother I guess, and had begun to spoil me as well by preparing me things I like alongside Benladann. It"s nice to have a tender family.

"And we men can… I guess we can cheer for her while we wait. Hahaha! Don"t worry, I"ll be there so you can handle the nervousness a bit better. I personally was going crazy when my little dear Benladann was being born." Laughed Laddan, Benladann"s father.

"I see… I"ll be counting on you then, father-in-law."

"Just call me Laddan, no need for formalities in the family." Said Laddan.

"Alright, Laddan."

Laddan is a pretty manly and strong man, he was also a bit annoyed when he came back and Benladann and I were acting so close out of nowhere for them. I suppose it must have been hard to get used to, especially because this old man looked like a daughter-kon. Nonetheless, I managed to get through his heart after some time, so he treats me pretty nicely now

"We"ll get through it all together as a family, right? So for now, let"s relax and-"

"Wait, shouldn"t we be training for the tournament?" asked Yuki.

"Ah… Well, not us, we are OP, but yeah, you guys should get to train a bit more, make sure to practice abilities that can easily knock out people… Like a hit in the neck or something strong." I said.

"Alright…" everyone sighed a bit, but it was true!

Oh right, the potions for Benladann to get to Rank 4 were almost ready, maybe in a few more days, she"ll be able to take them.

For now, we decided to relax and have a slice of life episode.

Oh right, the treasures of yesterday, how not to forget them?!

I quickly went to my own laboratory with Benladann, as I dropped most of our loot from yesterday, there were some Rank 3 Cores from the brainwashed Elders we killed, alongside a lot of money, artifacts, and a bunch of interesting scrolls, grimoires, and treasures that Ca.s.siopeia got from her inheritance.

Oh right, that woman"s story is interesting, I saw her through her soul. Let"s say she had a spoiled life and was rather an annoying woman her entire life.

I would have a.s.sumed she had a sad past, but it was just boring. She was just greedy and selfish.

She got into the inheritance by mistake when she tripped over the snow while hunting bears around 7 years ago. She ended entering an underground dungeon and had to complete a challenge of beating monsters and gathering keys to open the doors. It looked difficult, but she pulled out with effort and luck.

After that, she got into a treasure room where she met a little ghost that told her everything and even helped her form her Shadow and Phantom Attribute Mana Core… and she was given a lot of knowledge regarding spells and more too.

Lucky woman…

Anyways, I ate her soul and got her knowledge, a bit of it.

And now, there"s these Mana Cores, and I could eat them…

I don"t know if I could add them into me, I don"t know the technique, nor it seems possible even with it anymore.

So might as well just eat them.
