Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

His eyes widened suddenly.

Behind him appeared a girl with long golden hair... No, she was no longer a girl. Her mature features and aura betrayed that of a mature woman. However, her blue eyes remained as clear as ever, leaving no room for forgetfulness.

The neat and tidy attire of his adventurer days had vanished, replaced by simple clothing very similar to that of the middle-aged woman just now. It was as if he had just finished work and was looking for a cool place to rest.

Finally, Ron's eyes fell on her stomach.

The flat and soft belly of the past has disappeared.

Instead, there was a high bulge, and anyone who looked at it could clearly confirm that it was the belly of a pregnant woman.

At this moment, Ron thought a lot.

Why is she here?

Why is she pregnant?

Why didn't she die and was still alive...

Countless questions filled Ron's mind, making him not know how to start.

But while he was stunned, Sarah walked straight up to him, stretched out her hand with a look of surprise, and pinched Ron's face.

A trace of pain came.

Sarah's face was full of surprise:

"Aren't you...dead?"

"Dead? Me?"

"Yes, two years ago, Rudeus came to tell me that you were dead."

Looking at Ron's stunned expression, Sarah continued:

"Back then, I was still an adventurer. You told me to wait for your return... but in the end, all I got was the news of your death. Did you deliberately lie to me?"

"No...I should be the one asking you this."

Ron still felt incredible.

How is this possible?

How could Sarah appear in front of him so lively?

Even the Thousand Miles Eyes can't see her, why is she still alive?

Sarah seemed completely unaware of these issues that troubled Ron. She also seemed to have never imagined that Ron would come back to life and appear before her again...

Ron had too many questions in his mind.

Sarah seemed to notice Ron's confusion and doubt. After pondering for a moment, she took Ron's hand.

"Anyway, come home with me first."

"Family?"

Ron was stunned.

Soon, Sarah brought him to the corner of the village, where there was a house that was even lower and smaller than before.

Although the house is small, it has everything you need inside.

Sarah led Ron to sit down at the only table in the house, then skillfully placed the cups in front of Ron and picked up the kettle.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing here to serve you, but is plain water okay?"

Ron didn't answer Sarah's question right away.

He turned his head and looked around the exquisite little house, and couldn't help asking:

"...Is this your home?"

"Well, I live here now."

"Why would you..."

"Hmm? There's no particular reason, this is my hometown."

Sarah said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Ron's eyes glanced at Sarah's bulging belly, then quickly looked away.

wrong.

That's not what I'm asking.

Ron rubbed his brow.

He felt that the complexity of the current situation was beyond his understanding.

"…Um, Sarah."

"Ok?"

"If possible, could you tell me what happened during this period?"

"Of course, you can... But what exactly do you mean by this period of time?"

"Let's start from the moment we parted."

"Oh."

Sarah poured hot water into Ron's cup and then sat down in front of Ron.

She thought about it carefully, and then began to talk about her experiences over the years.

……

……

The story begins with Sarah and Ron's brief time together and then their separation.

Ron promised Sarah that he would find her soon, and then he would promise to stay with her and give her a stable life.

After they parted, Sarah continued to carry out her unfinished commission.

It took about one or two months.

Her team returned the royal family of the Kingdom of Ranoa to the palace, and the commission was finally successfully completed. During this time, Sarah had been waiting for Ron to appear, but he seemed to have forgotten about it and there was no news from him.

A few more days passed.

Sarah waited for news from Ron.

However, to be precise, it was Rudius who brought the news of Ron's death.

Ron is dead.

Sarah had long known that Ron was about to do something dangerous, which was why she had said she would wait until he returned before making her promise. However, Sarah had never imagined that Ron would actually die, that such a powerful Ron would die in a corner of the world.

Everything happened too suddenly.

For a long time, Sarah was immersed in the shadow of losing Ron.

Even so, she eventually pulled herself together.

Life must go on.

Now that Ron was dead, she could only consider him as someone she had never had in her life. The visions of the future she had once shared, with him whispering in her ear, while we clung to each other, exhausted, were now a thing of the past. She still had to keep living.

However, it didn't take long.

Sarah discovered that she was pregnant.

At first, Sarah didn't pay much attention to it because she felt the timing was a little off. But as time went by, the pregnancy symptoms became more and more obvious, and her belly grew bigger day by day. Finally, Sarah could no longer ignore it.

Now that she was pregnant, she could no longer continue her work as an adventurer.

She chose to quit her job as an adventurer.

With the savings accumulated over the years, she returned to her hometown in the Kingdom of Asura to take care of her pregnancy.

That is this village.

“That’s how it happened.

Sarah said in a flat tone.

But Ron could hear how many ups and downs Sarah's mood had experienced in the past few years.

Finally, Ron's eyes fell on Sarah's belly.

Sarah is pregnant.

Almost two years had passed since her death. No matter how she calculated it, it was impossible for her to be pregnant by now, which meant that the baby was Sarah's and someone else's.

"...Where is the child's father?"

Ron asked in a complicated manner.

He knew that there were not many people like him who would leave for two years without even saying goodbye.

However, no matter how clear he was in his heart, Sarah was once his woman.

My woman is pregnant with another man's child, and I feel really complicated...

Sarah looked at Ron and rubbed her belly.

"What do you mean by the father of the child?"

"Uh, that is to say... you have found another man now, right? If possible, can I meet him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about... Isn't this child yours?"

"Huh? But..."

"I find it incredible too, but it's been so long since I became pregnant, and the baby's growth is so slow, and he hasn't been born yet. And to be honest, I've only had sex with you, so no matter how I think about it, the baby will only be yours, right?"

"..."

Ron was speechless for a moment.

That is to say...

Has Sarah been waiting for him alone in this village for more than two years?

Human-God Chapter: 165, Promise

Just as Ron thought.

After retiring from the adventurer industry, Sarah returned to her hometown to take care of her pregnancy.

However, no one expected that the pregnancy would take two full years. The child in her belly was like a freak, growing slowly but requiring a lot of nutrition. If Sarah hadn't saved some money as an adventurer, she really wouldn't have been able to afford to raise this child in her belly.

Ron stared at Sarah's bulging belly, feeling complicated for a moment.

"Is this my...child?"

"Yes."

"Just that one time..."

"It wasn't just once, it was several times."

"..."

Ron certainly didn't expect that.

He did not wear any protection that night, but getting pregnant overnight sounded like something that would only happen in novels. Normally, the probability was too low.

No, that's not right.

You shouldn't think like that now.

No matter how impossible it was, the baby in Sarah's belly was indeed his. Did that mean he had become a father without even realizing it?

"Can I... touch it?"

"Yes, but be gentle."

"Ah."

Ron squatted beside Sarah and carefully stroked her belly with his hand.

This is my child, the proof of my existence in this world.
