What a sunny day. What could go wrong?

He asked himself this when Victor flew over Isabel Moore in the corner of the V&V empire. Tonight is Samhain, the equivalent of Halloween in Ofremont. A time when the undead and monsters are rampant, just like the people who make up his entire country.

Before that, they had failed to kill Odius.

This meant that she would get the "arrows of light" he had warned about beforehand. Between the lost "Apple of Knowledge", Brandon Moore's "Wind Spear", and the Earth technology acquired by Formoth, Victor has a good understanding of the true nature of these weapons.

The future looks scary, but not all of them lose, the minister told himself. They have magic, allies, levels, and an abundance of resources. They defeated Moore, Nightblade, Wotan, Aknapep, and even recruited a damn Tarask. They will soon face the most dangerous enemy to date, but there is hope. With The Harvest, he can concentrate on extracting all the information McGonagall Meyer has gathered about Pleidan in preparation for the coming war.

Still, Victor needed a pocket dimensional shelter, if only he could make it.

He finally arrives at the settlement established by the Great Demon, a fortified town in the heart of the desert. Mu with semi-anarchy

mu

i

No, the Doge rules her Moran with an iron fist; Almost all of the settlers are bug-like demons, and Victor notices that there is a heavily armed Hell Knight on every street corner. Workers went around building new houses and fortifications, while wizards were busy growing plants on dry soil.

He soon finds Isabel, who is managing a group of demons to lay the foundation for a new watchtower. The Great Demon King gazed at the building with satisfaction.

"Really?" Victor called her as soon as he landed. "How's my favorite private tutor?"

"Honey, you're back!" Seeing his arrival, she smiled. In fact, she seemed much happier than he had ever seen before. She gained some weight, especially her hips and abdomen, though.

"I see you've adjusted well to your new role," he replied as he took off his helmet.

"It's like you did with your new armor," she said, appreciating. "You feel different. Have you gotten a new level?"

"There's also a huge charisma boost."

"I can totally tell," she said, looking at him like watching an appetizing dinner. "Maybe we should test it?"

"Actually, I can cast the Layer VIII spell now," Victor said, holding her in his arms, "I think I can shape my own personal space." ”

"Well, I have spell scrolls that you can learn." She replied, giving him a nudge. "If I am allowed to set up the room, I will be happy to teach you this trick. I have high requirements for a private recreation reserve. ”

Truth be told, Victor wants to build more than one shelter if he can. For Mu

mu

i

of citizens provided alternate shelters, flat-hidden hideouts, and perhaps intermediate checkpoints between colonies. But that's the long-term plan.

"I'd love to continue your magical studies, especially [demonology]." Isabel said. "Then I don't have to think about this urban development project. The original structure of the happy world will be subservient to our will. ”

Of course they need it. "I've always wanted to take private lessons, but you also want to tell me something important, don't you?"

"You're looking at it," she replied, putting her hand on her stomach, "or rather, looking at her." ”

"Oh, then you've ffffffff

Victor's brain stops working because the truth hits him like a truck on the highway.

Several memories flashed through his mind, linking them together into a simple and terrifying picture.

"When you come back, I have something to tell you." "She didn't make it in time." Physical examination ......"

Intelligence check successful!

"Beep beep".

"It's a girl!" The Great Demon King said happily, "At first I wanted to have a B

a

iño II to replace the old one, but this one is better. ”B

a

iña will grow into an amazing CEO warlord, brutal and beautiful. Gosh, I even asked Fiendo Bugge to design all of her outfits up to the age of 18. ”

Victor wanted someone to pinch him by the arm and wake him up. But no one does. "Is this serious?" It's not a joke, is it?"

"I'm serious. I know I've spoiled Brandon, but my kids won't dress like blue-collar workers. ”

"No, I mean, how could this happen?!" Victor was terrified.

"Honey, we've been dating for a few days...... It's been several years......" The Great Demon King hesitated for a moment before deciding on a time limit. "years. It's meant to happen. ”

"But, but, but—"

"I know," Isabel replied. "After the first dozen attempts, I thought there would never be results between us, but it took hundreds more!" My therapist told me that she would be [Demon/Humanoid] instead of the [Bug/Dragon] I had hoped, but that she would inherit the excellent genes of both of us. She will have B

a

iño twice the initial attributes and unique perks!"

Victor listened, but he could only focus on one thing. "Daughter".

"Our daughter."

Thank you for reminding me. "Can we talk about that in more detail?"

She stroked his face. "Are you afraid?"

"Of course I am!" It was completely unexpected!" We're not married yet!"

"Honey, I'm a demon," she replied angrily, "I'll never marry you." This goes against my principles. ”

"I, I mean we're not even exclusive!" Or at least he wasn't, as he showed from day one. "I never thought about it!"

"My dear, I'm still very satisfied with your mistress on your side," she replied softly, apparently unable to understand his question. "However, as my spouse, I insist that you admit B

a

iña is your biological daughter. This is very important because, as Happyla

D", which may make it easier for her to become the overlord of the company. Maybe she'll be Offreymond's first [Demon Queen]!

Frankly, Victor didn't know how to answer. He simply didn't know how to handle the situation.

"I know it's a big change in our lives," the Great Demon King admitted. "But, as a minister, you need an heir. There may even be some spare. We can build a dynasty that will one day rule all of Ottmund. ”

Wow, she skipped a lot of steps!

"I need a little time to digest it," admitted the prime minister, who was short of breath.

"Good, dear, but don't deal with it too long. If there was anything like her half-brother, if I used the elixir to speed up the process, she would start to crawl out in a few months. You understand that in difficult economic times, I can't take parental leave. ”

A few months? That's not enough time! A few years is not enough!

"I ...... I'll come back later. Victor said he had too much on hand to react calmly.

"Take your time, dear," she replied cheerfully, and then immediately gave orders to her workers. "A little further to the left, there's a new watchtower!"

Victor walked towards the desert, using his newly acquired [Magellan] PE

K teleports back to his mansion before being alone for some time. He needs to breathe, he needs to get back to his place, he needs to see his lawyer, he needs to do something, anything!

But he finds Allison and Chocolate waiting at the door.

The goddess of the forest seemed to be just worried, and the werewolf looked completely devastated. Did something happen to her brother on the moon? Unfortunately, he doesn't have any more pranks now.

"Ah, good morning, girls." Victor saluted them, trying to appear pleasant and not anxious. "If it was about the cat, I heard a very shocking news and I'm not in the mood right now. Can this wait a little longer?"

"No, Victor, it can't," Alison replied, while Chocolate bit her lower lip anxiously. "It's urgent. Very urgent. ”

Victor was almost ready to brush them off until he took another look at the werewolf's distraught face. His compassion came into play. "What happened? He asked worriedly.

"It's about Jock," explained the dryad, putting a hand on her female friend's shoulder to prop it up, "and she learned something very important from her god during her morning prayers, and Silbele confirmed it to me. I'm sure you should hear about it soon. ”

The werewolf didn't seem ready to say anything until Allison whispered encouragement in her ear. The minister was prepared for the more shocking news he felt.

"Vic......" Chocolate looked at him with horror. Vic, you promise you won't be angry, right?"

"Really?" Victor tried to smile comfortingly, sensing that a catastrophe was coming. "Didn't you?"

"Vic, if you ......," Chocolate Choker said. If you...... If we're not careful...... If protecting the ward doesn't work for me, and ...... You know ......."

The prime minister kept smiling, even though he was screaming inside.

"Vic?" Allison asked him. "Vic, I think your face is broken."

Sitting in a chair in Lawyer Nisserma's office, Victor's mind went blank. The light outside the window shone on his sweaty fair skin.

"Sir? One of his lawyers asked him about a pile of papers on their mahogany desk.

"Can you... The minister struggled to find the right words. "Can you say that again?"

"You have been collectively indicted by the 'Happiness Paradise Battle Harem' on charges of 'illegally impregnating a horizontal angel while working,'" the lawyer said. "According to the precedent of 'Sweetheart' Daddy, you could face eight alimony charges."

"Since you're the protagonist of Blissful Paradise and the judge is my cousin, we're confident that we'll be able to keep a low profile on this matter," another lawyer added before going through the documents. "However, we expect new cases to emerge in the near future. There's something about Miss Chocolate, a guy named Renette asks for a paternity test, and that fellowship intern ......"

"Thankfully, we've covered up/intern affairs since the dawn of democracy. We call it the 'Cleanup of the President's Office.'" ”

"What's going on?" The minister asked, clenching his fists.

"Well, sir, with all due respect, you're a whore."

"I always use protections, including magic wards, and I can't have children even with half of them!" Victor argued angrily. "What, are you going to say that Charlene is also on the list?" An undead vampire and a half-dragon can have children?!"

"Well, according to modern vampire literature, Miss Eenue is not among your confirmed cases-"

"That's not how DNA works!" Victor protested.

"Based on our research, His Majesty's new benefits appear to allow Minions to interbreed, no matter how anatomically impossible," the lawyer replied. This explains all the interactions behind the café, such as Miss Chocolatier. As for the failure of the protections, whether magical or otherwise, we don't know. It's as if you're completely ignoring them. ”

The intelligence check was successful.

"(Wan)," Victor realized, his eyes wide open.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"One of my 'Grim Reaper' perks allows me to be treated as 'invited' in any magically protected location and unlock any locks in a successful 'skill' check," Victo said

Say. "If it applies to any part of me and has a broad understanding of locks......"

This is the last time PE was activated in the hotel

k reason! He didn't think about the implications, but now he can only curse his naivety!

"Oh God, this really happened," Death panicked. "I'm going to have a baby."

"Baby?" Victor heard little Winkel scratching at the office door and almost jumped out of his chair. "Kid?!"

How did it get there?" Not yours. The Chancellor replied in a voice of unease. It's mine. ”

"Baby, Vic? He heard Buzz Jelly ask behind the door.

"Kid?!" Winkel Jr. replied, apparently happier than Victor himself. "Baby!"

"Don't worry, sir," the lawyers tried to reassure their clients in a way that only a friend could do. "We're going to make sure you don't go unpunished, and we won't give you — sorry for using a politically incorrect word — a penny."

"Wait, how many?" Victor asked the lawyers, his eyes vacant. "How many?"

The friends exchanged glances in an awkward silence. "Well, if we believe our predictions, believe in the confirmed cases, believe in the propensity of werewolves to like to have four or six wolf pups, a conservative estimate might indicate—"

"How much?!" Victor snapped impatiently.

"Sixteen."

Vitality and charm test success! [Paralysis] and [Terror] Denial!

"Sixteen?!" Victor choked.

"Maybe only fifteen, sir!"

He's not ready to have a baby, let alone 16! How is this possible?!

Intelligence check successful!

"Congratulations on getting 32 new eyes." Victor muttered to himself, remembering what the Moonman had said during that hapless trip. He glanced through the window and saw that the moon was half-obscured by clouds. "That damn bastard!"

"Sir?"

"He knows! That squid already knew about it, and it had a hunch!"

His friends looked at him as if he was crazy, and then pulled their ties in embarrassment.

"That's karma, isn't it?" Victor asked. "This is retribution, punishment for my lustful lifestyle."

"Sir, I understand that this situation can be hopeless, but we are your lawyers. You pay us to protect you from retribution, which is something we've encountered before. We have the solution. ”

"Like what?" Victor almost prayed for an easy escape.

"We can make these problems go away, go away." One of the demons mimics the decapitation with his hands. "Or we falsify all the paternity tests. If you prefer a non-violent solution, you can even threaten the offender with a lawsuit?"

His colleague replied: "The word threat is too heavy." "I propose a defamation campaign and then an insulting settlement."

"Yes, it's more civilized that way. It's so screaming. ”

The Chancellor ignores the immoral solutions they discussed, from rockets to put the children on the moon, to faking his death so that he can legally avoid paying child support. For Victor, who has done everything to avoid any serious romantic entanglements, it is a real nightmare.

He turned to the window and looked at the sun. Mithras claimed to belong to his bright and bright guiding star. He remembered Ludwich's words and realized that something might have happened to his mentor as well.

If he follows his example and opens the window and runs away, he will be able to escape. Even with Winkel, he has become strong enough to easily disappear after dealing with the ex-demons. It was cowardly and irresponsible, but he was still not responsible. He can become a free soul like Ludwich and roam the world as he pleases. He could even skip Overremond and transfer to another plane.

But it means abandoning Winkel, abandoning his people, abandoning his children, abandoning all those who depend on him. That was probably the most selfish thing Victor had ever done.

He immediately decided against it.

Don't run away. He built his life there, and he couldn't abandon it.

What about the other solution? Isabel would keep her daughter, he knew for sure, there were others...... Chocolate had said she didn't want to settle down either, but she was now as confused as Victor herself. While the prime minister does have a say, he is not the only one making decisions.

He still didn't know what to do. What did he learn in Shilin? What parenting wisdom did he learn from Ahnapep?

The Minister's Stratagem Eighteen: The Law of the Childless, for they are usurpers and disruptors.

Well, what about the daughter? Vizier's Strategy 19: There is no law of daughters, because they are only one step away from being turned around by the handsome [paladin].

Achieve immortality, because you are the only one who is suitable for the job.

That's useless! That's useless!

College didn't prepare him for parenthood!

Should he turn to the gods for guidance? He has already been claimed by half of the Pantheon, and at least someone should answer his prayers. Maybe Camilla?

“No.”

"Sir?"

"No, it's not them," Victor replied, not so much to the lawyer as to himself. "I just need to consult a friend."

The one who knows him best.
