I told Freya every detail—how I entered the dungeon and how, right after that, our son started using magic. A kind of magic I had never seen before. When she heard that, her eyes widened and she looked at our son.
He had a big smile on his face. He looked incredibly happy and excited listening to what had happened inside the dungeon. He was probably replaying everything in his mind, eager to do it all again.
He liked killing monsters.
I smiled at him, and Freya cleared her throat. Then she said, "So our son can create weapons? I've never heard of an ability like that before. It sounds quite powerful."
"It's not exactly a weapon. Even though it has the shape of a blade, I don't think you can really hold it like one."
While listening to our conversation, our son suddenly raised his tiny hand.
"Luan, look!" Freya stared at his hand in amazement. It was glowing with the same light I had seen before. Then a blade like the previous one began to form—but this time, it had a handle.
It was a sword.
Not a perfect sword—it looked more like a dagger. The tip was extremely sharp. I picked it up and examined it closely. The quality was good—really good… And this had been created by a newborn child.
"Let me see that." Freya took the dagger from my hand and examined it. After handing it back to me, she stepped closer to our son, grabbed him by the waist, and lifted him into the air. "You're truly a genius! Of course you are—you're my son!"
Seeing that, I smiled.
"He's my son too, you know? My blood is very special, so he's a genius because of me," I said, teasing her. It was obvious he was so intelligent and strong at such a young age because of Freya.
After all, he's the son of a goddess.
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm a goddess—clearly he's a genius because of me. He even has the same hair color as I do."
"But his eyes are the same color as mine."
"Don't try to annoy me further. I'm already irritated enough. Don't think I've forgiven you for taking him to the dungeon." She placed our son back on the bed and walked toward me.
"What do I need to do for you to forgive me?"
"Hmmm… Let's see." After giving me a mischievous smile, she said, "I want you to sleep here tonight."
"Sleep here?"
Does she think that's something difficult for me? Hestia would definitely be a little annoyed, but since she already knows about my relationships with Tiona, Ais, and even Ishtar, she'll probably just assume I spent the night with one of them somewhere.
If I say, "I'm sleeping out tonight," she won't question it.
"Alright. I don't mind."
"And of course, we're making a second child tonight."
"What?"
"I have more than enough energy for that!"
Has she lost her mind?

I talked with Freya a little longer and then went back home. Before I left, she had started breastfeeding our son. He looked desperate to eat. When I arrived home, I went straight to my room.
I took a shower, and when I stepped out of my room, I found Haruhime outside.
"You've seemed quite busy these past few days," she said as we walked down the stairs together.
"I've been spending a lot of time writing and having fun in the dungeon lately."
"Having fun in the dungeon? What's fun about being in a dungeon?"
"Fighting monsters. It's fun when you're strong. Especially when you're using a sword."
"Hmm… I've never seen you fight before. I'm curious."
"Do you want to go to the dungeon with me? I can take you there in an instant."
"No way. I'd rather stay home."
"Speaking of that, what do you do all day? Do you just stay inside doing nothing?"
"Lili, Hestia, and Mikoto spend most of their time at home since they're pregnant. I don't get bored because I stay here with them."
"I see. I think I should bring something into this house so you can all have more fun."
"What do you mean?"
"I have a few ideas."
I could buy something to generate electricity using the store on my computer and then get internet access. That way, I could bring my computer here and let them use it.
I could also buy some consoles or something like that.
I'm sure staying at home just talking all day can get pretty boring.
"Well, I don't mind staying home and just talking to them. I don't feel bored. But I do think Mikoto has been quite restless and bored lately."
"I'll talk to her later. Maybe I'll take her out on a date. What do you think?"
"I think she would really like that."
We reached the first floor and sat down on the couch. After sitting down, I turned to Haruhime and said, "Would you like some tea? Something to eat?"
"Yes, of course."
"Then I'll prepare something. Can you call the others too? I'll bake a large cake. It'll take a while, but the tea will be ready soon."
"Alright, thank you," Haruhime replied with a smile.
After that, I went to the kitchen and started preparing a large cake. Once I finished as quickly as I could, I made the tea and carried it to the living room, where they were all sitting.
"Here you go." I served the tea to all of them like a knight, and then poured some for myself.
As soon as I sat down, Hestia asked, "Will the cake take long?"
"Yes, it'll take a little while since I just put it in the oven."
After that short exchange, the four of them started talking.
All of them wore beautiful smiles and seemed very excited.
All except Mikoto.
She truly looked sad.
I need to talk to her.
"Mikoto, would you come to the kitchen with me to check on the cake?"
She understood my intention and gave me a small smile. "Of course."
