We live at the foothills of Dragon Peak.
The Sun’s Triplets.
Of course, we rushed to Listea’s mansion.
“Cerise-chan, Listea, congratulations on the twin babies!”
Won’t we be reprimanded by the King and Queen? No, the main characters today are the babies born to the hero and his partner, so it doesn’t matter if we do this later! Of course, we got permission properly, okay?
“Hey, hey, Listea. Where are the babies? Twins, that’s amazing!”
“A-ah! Elnea, calm down.”
When we burst into Listea’s mansion, Listea herself came out to greet us. And she calmed down my excitement by saying, “There, there.”
“Tch, noisy guys arrived.”
“Slaton! Congratulations!!”
Listea’s mansion is in the noble district near the royal castle. And Slaton’s mansion is next to Listea’s mansion.
“Elnea-kun, welcome back.”
“We saw Lord Asher and Nimia-chan descending from the castle, so we predicted you guys would come.”
“Cerise-chan, Creacio!”
Appearing from the back of the mansion were Cerise-chan, Listea’s legal wife, and Creacio, Slaton’s beloved wife. And the small bundles they were lovingly holding…!
“Wow, they’re cute!”
“Yes, they are cute!”
“Nyan.”
“Hey, Priscilla.”
Priscilla-chan, who had vanished from our circle with a poof, and Mei, who had been holding her hand, appeared in front of Cerise-chan and Creacio in the blink of an eye. Then, the two of them happily bounced around and peeked into the “main characters of today” wrapped in soft cloth. Mistrall hurried over to the young girl group. Cerise-chan and Creacio knelt down so the young girl group could see properly, and Priscilla-chan and Mei peeked in further.
“Hey, hey, me too…”
Before I could even finish speaking, my wives who had accompanied me also rushed towards Cerise-chan and Creacio all at once. In the blink of an eye, a circle of women formed, and the mansion became lively.
“Hahaha, you were beaten to it?” Listea laughed cheerfully. His smile was more radiant than ever, filled with a brilliance that illuminated those around him like the sun.
“In contrast, Slaton. Why are you smiling so sheepishly? It’s creepy?”
“What did you say!” Slaton’s unnatural, sheepish smile disappeared, and his face contorted for a moment.
“I’ll absolutely never let you see it!”
“Kyaa! Slaton is being mean! Creacio, help me!” I ran away from Slaton, cackling. However, the lively circle of women’s formation remained unbroken. Could it be that I was abandoned!
“Listea, can you do something about this partner of yours?” If Creacio won’t help, then Listea is my only hope. Without hesitation, I hid behind Listea’s back.
“Seriously. aren’t you the messenger of the Dragon God that even the Dragon Clan bows down to? Show some dignity.”
“Listea. Do you want to see me being arrogant? Can you imagine it?”
“No, I can’t imagine it, and I don’t want to see an uncute Elnea.”
“You answered immediately!”
“I don’t want to see an Elnea who isn’t you from before either. So, just stop struggling and be caught.”
“Kyaa!”
Using Listea as a shield, I fended off Slaton’s advances. I’m probably the only one who can casually use the Sun Hero as a shield. That’s my pride, and I love Listea, who willingly allows it.
As Slaton, Listea, and I were making a fuss, two cute crying sounds overlapped and echoed from the center of the women’s circle.
“Elnea, be quiet.”
“Ah, sorry.”
I might have gotten a little too excited and become self-centered. If I make noise, they’ll cry, of course. They’re babies. After being scolded by Mistrall, I became quiet. Slaton, who instinctively knew he couldn’t win against Mistrall, also fell silent. Listea was just caught up in it, so if I and Slaton calmed down, he would naturally follow suit.
“Cerise-chan, Creacio, I’m sorry for making noise. And, allow me to say it again.” As I straightened myself, order permeated the circle of women.
“Please forgive our sudden visit today. But, we really wanted to see the two babies!”
“Fufufu. That’s a very Elnea-kun-like greeting. You’re only polite at first, and your true feelings are leaking out.”
“But, we like you just like that, Elnea-kun. Please continue to treat us the same even after becoming the messenger of the Dragon God?” Cerise-chan and Creacio emerged from the circle of women. And then, they showed them to me.
“Wow! Cerise-chan’s babies are really twins, and they’re so cute! Creacio’s baby is already a beautiful woman!” Cerise-chan’s babies had identical appearances. Inheriting Listea’s hair quality, they had a little soft blonde hair. Was it the twin babies who were crying earlier? They were desperately clinging to their mothers, shedding big tears. Creacio’s baby had black hair, inheriting her mother’s. Their long eyelashes trembled, but they weren’t crying. Even though they were just born this summer, they already looked like beautiful women. I look forward to their future.
“Wow, they’re so cute. And such beautiful women. Are the two babies both girls?” The twin babies held by Cerise-chan. The baby held by Creacio. The three newborns were born on the same day at the same time, right? Furthermore, all three are girls! What a miracle, I thought, when Cerise-chan laughed. “Fufufu. I’m sorry, Elnea-kun. This child is actually a boy?” Cerise-chan pointed to the baby she was holding on the right.
“So, this child is a boy even though he’s so cute!? A boy and a girl twin, huh. I wonder if they won’t grow up to look so alike that they’re indistinguishable, like Yufi and Nina?” “Elnea-kun is imagining a disturbing future.” “Elnea-kun is imagining a fun future.” Everyone laughed at my remark. “I hope they don’t grow up to be as mischievous as their older sisters…” “Cerise?” “You’ll be punished later, okay?” “Elnea-kun, please save me.” “Yes, leave it to me.” “Then, Elnea-kun is going to be punished.” “Kyaa!” Does the royal family of the Armēdo Kingdom tend to have twins? King Armēdo and Jortennis, who founded the kingdom, and Yufilia and Nina. But, isn’t it unusual for twins to be a boy and a girl? Although they look identical and cute now, I wonder what they’ll look like in the future?
“It’s good that Creacio’s baby doesn’t resemble Slaton, isn’t it?” “I wholeheartedly agree.” “Hey! Elnea, Creacio!” The baby girl held by Creacio was looking around with thoughtful, round eyes. The way her long eyelashes trembled each time was truly that of a beautiful woman. “Can they already see? Babies can’t see at first, right?” Observing closely, their beautiful eyes seemed to be following us, but their focus wasn’t quite there yet?
“Actually, Elnea-kun.” Creacio’s expression became serious, and I tensed up. Is there a problem…? If there was any problem with the three babies, we would help them with all our might! Creacio gazed lovingly at the baby. “Their eyesight doesn’t seem to be developed yet. However, it seems this child can see the ‘colors of the world’.” “Wow, wow. Does that mean…!” Creacio’s family line has been sorcerers for generations. And, among sorcerers, rare individuals can recognize the “colors of the world.” Unlike dragon arts, magic, or divine arts, sorcery is very subtle. It affects the target or oneself through sorcery. It can slow down movement by applying a weight, or erode the body through curses. However, such “spell effects” are usually invisible, and it’s difficult to even determine if they are effectively affecting the target or oneself. But sorcerers who can see the colors of the world can use sorcery more correctly and efficiently by distinguishing the colors of the target and the effects of the spell. Therefore, the ability to see the “colors of the world” is the best talent for a sorcerer.
“That’s amazing, Creacio!” As I jumped up and down with joy, the baby’s gaze followed me. Surely, she’s seeing the “color” I’m radiating. “It’s truly amazing. It’s amazing that two babies were born.” “Elnea, you’ve only been saying ‘amazing’ since earlier, haven’t you?” “Mistrall, but it is amazing!” Everyone laughed at my lack of vocabulary. Then, Cerise-chan’s twin babies stopped crying and smiled. “They are truly cute. Blessings to the Goddess who granted such wonderful lives, and to their mothers, Cerise and Creacio.” “Right, let’s be grateful for the babies’ cuteness and the happy atmosphere they bring.” “I’ll also give birth to a cute baby!” Listea’s wives, Kiiri, Inea, and Naimi, chimed in. Surely, soon, there will be more sons and daughters for Listea.
“Hey, hey, speaking of which. Have the babies’ names been decided yet? If they haven’t been decided…” “Unfortunately, Elnea doesn’t have the naming rights?” “Mistrall!?” “Fufufu, it’s not just because you might give them bizarre names, you know?” “Did your true feelings just leak out?” “It’s just your imagination?” “Really?” “It’s a lie.” “It’s a lie.” “Hahahaha, lying is not good!” “Everyone is too honest!” Well, I did name the Eastern Magician who loves peaches “Momo,” right? And I’ve also given nicknames like “Yunyun” and “Rinrin” and “Ranran” to the three sisters Yun, Rin, and Ran. I still think naming the Spirit Tree Spirit “Ares” was a great success? “I like my name?” “Only Ares-chan says that.” Anyway, putting aside my naming sense. “I’m sorry, Elnea-kun. These children’s names have already been decided.” “I’m sorry. As they are our first children, we decided between ourselves as a couple.” “Yes, that’s the most important way to decide.” I wasn’t particularly insistent either, you know? I just thought, if there was an opportunity.
“Well then, can you tell me the babies’ names?” In response to my request, Cerise-chan and Creacio smiled with maternal love. “The eldest daughter is Celestia. The eldest son is Linadis.” “This child is Clara.” “Celestia-chan, Linadis-kun, and Clara-chan, huh. We’ll do our best to support you so they grow up splendidly!” “Thank you, Elnea-kun. Your blessings are more precious than anything else.” “Please continue to watch over these children, and our expanding family?” “Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, leave it all to me!” When I said that enthusiastically, everyone burst into laughter, saying, “That’s overkill.”
“By the way, the order of birth was Celestia first, Clara around the same time. After that was Linadis.” “It was around the time the sun was at its zenith. Truly, the children of the Sun Hero and his partner.” Listea’s mansion was filled with a heat greater than the approaching late summer heat. Click on the heart to easily express your support.
