Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

This child maintains his connection with the world.

Ron's heart was beating so hard that it felt like it was going to burst out of his chest. Although the child had not yet been born, he had already become a father.

This throbbing and anxiety are undoubtedly real.

Everything that happened so far seemed to make sense at this moment. I was no longer a bystander of this world, but a part of it. I didn't just come to this world for a visit, but I truly lived in this world.

"How long will it take before the baby is born?"

"How should I know? Actually, I should be asking you this question. Aren't you a human?"

"Well... it's a long story."

"Then let's talk about it later."

Speak slowly...

Yes, there should still be plenty of time.

“…Sarah.”

"Ok?"

"Although it's a bit late to say it now, let's get married."

"..."

Sarah didn't say anything, just looked at Ron silently, a blush appearing on her fair face.

Ron waited for a long time but didn't get her answer, and couldn't help but look up at her.

"Sarah?"

"...I need to think about it."

"what?"

"Before that, I'd like to hear your explanation as to why you disappeared for two years."

"Well...haha, it's a long story."

"Then stay and talk slowly."

"Well, that's fine too."

……

……

Ron didn't leave that night.

Of course, he didn't do anything special. After all, Sarah couldn't do anything even if she wanted to in her current state. He just told her what had happened during this period, why he disappeared for two years, and the series of events that happened after his return.

Taking this opportunity, Ron finally understood Sarah's current situation.

The adventurer's life after retirement was not as easy as she said, but rather the opposite.

Although the adventurer industry is profitable, if you want to go far in the adventurer industry, you will inevitably incur a lot of extra expenses, such as the expenses of dealing with interpersonal relationships, the expenses of maintaining equipment and purchasing disposable items, the expenses of hiring staff, etc. Therefore, although Sarah was an S-level adventurer before retirement, her savings after retirement were not that much.

Ron himself was deeply touched by this.

When he was an adventurer, he was much more powerful than Sarah.

However, even so, because of the expenses of magic crystals, he still couldn't make ends meet, so he had to secretly sell the healing magic scrolls he had drawn privately to make some extra money, so that he could save money.

Closer to home.

After returning home, Sarah was too pregnant to do any heavy physical work, and could only do needlework. At first, she could occasionally go to the forest outside the village to shoot wild animals and birds to supplement the family income, but as her belly grew, she gradually gave up such activities.

She lived frugally, basically only covering her living expenses.

Two years passed like this.

On the other hand, because the baby in her belly was not born for a long time, Sarah was inevitably talked about by many people around her. In addition, there was no man around Sarah, so some bad rumors began to spread among the villagers and became more and more intense.

But Sarah had expected this, so there was nothing to say.

Anyway, she had already made up her mind that she would give birth to the child no matter what.

Although I didn't expect to get pregnant at first, I have to give birth to the child now that I'm pregnant. After all, this is Ron's last bloodline left in this world. It's my responsibility...

This is basically Sarah's life.

……

After listening to Sarah's seemingly nonchalant story, Ron couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

He knew that Sarah didn't have to endure this.

He also knew that with Sarah's personality, enduring these rumors and bizarre realizations would require a great deal of psychological pressure, and all of this stemmed from his own irresponsibility...

No, it’s not entirely irresponsible.

All I can say is that everything was so unexpected.

But fortunately, I came by myself.

"Sarah."

Ron held Sarah's hand and said seriously again:

"Even though it's a long time coming, even if your feelings for me have faded, please marry me... No, it doesn't matter if we don't get married, but at least let me take responsibility from now on."

"That's really nice to say."

Sarah snorted.

"Who knows if you'll suddenly disappear like before, talking about mission and responsibility?"

"No, I swear, if that happens again, I will die..."

"Don't say scary things."

Sarah covered Ron's mouth, preventing him from continuing. Although she didn't agree directly, the smile on her lips revealed her current mood.

Ron understood what she meant at this moment.

He kissed Sarah's lips gently, and then separated them immediately.

"Come with me, Sarah, come with me to live with Shalia."

"...Have you really thought it through?"

"Well, I've made up my mind. Let's go back to Sharia, and then I'll tell everyone around me about our relationship. I'll never leave you again. I'm not a great man, but if it's just a promise to be with you day and night, I can still do it. After the child is born, we'll raise him together."

"……it is good."

Sarah nodded slightly and agreed.

Ron couldn't help but feel delighted.

His eyes fell on Sarah's bulging belly again. At this moment, he even thought of the child's name.

Human God Chapter: 166, Nanahoshi Shizuka

"Crunch, crunch -"

The small carriage made a slight noise as it moved along the snow-covered path. The slight rocking made the people inside feel a little tired. Sarah, dressed in thick clothes, felt a little sleepy and leaned on Ron's shoulder.

"tired?"

Ron asked quietly.

Sarah didn't say anything, just closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

"Don't fall asleep even if you're tired. We're almost there. If you fall asleep now, you'll catch a cold. Wait until we get there."

"okay."

Sarah opened her eyes reluctantly.

Ron gently put his arm around her shoulders, letting her snuggle in his arms, and looked at the scene outside through the gap in the window.

The falling snowflakes reflected the city buildings on the mountain in the distance. That was the clock tower of Lanoa Magic University.

Almost half a year had passed since Rudeus set out on his journey to the ancient dragon ruins around the world.

Ron went to Sarah's hometown from Sharia and stayed there for a while before deciding to take Sarah back to Sharia. After all, the conditions in Sharia were better than those in the countryside of Asura Kingdom. Although the climate was cold, it was not a problem as long as one had money.

He followed the caravan and Sarah across the border between the Kingdom of Asura and the northern continent, and then rented a carriage to head north.

Because of the cold weather, we wasted a lot of time on the road.

Half a year has passed.

Sarah's belly was a little bigger than before.

When passing through a town on the way, I went to see a doctor to ask about the situation, and the answer I got was "The due date may be soon, so you need to take good care of yourself and avoid traveling."

Fortunately, because the baby in my belly is special, the due date is later than the doctor estimated.

The two of them rushed and finally arrived in Xialia before the due date.

……

……

"Come on, slow down."

"I'm not some delicate young lady, is it really that serious?"

"Your health is important."

Ron helped Sarah, who looked angry, out of the carriage.

Although Sarah complained about Ron's excessive concern, it could be seen from the smile on her face that she still enjoyed it.

This was also one of the experiences Ron gained from Rudius.

When a woman is pregnant, she becomes very sensitive and wants to seek support from those around her.

Although Sarah had persevered on her own before Ron appeared, now that Ron has appeared, he will naturally not let Sarah carry it alone. He will protect Sarah from the wind and rain and be her support.

Led by Ron, the two of them first went to a hotel close to the Lanoa University of Magic to stay temporarily.

Ron originally lived in Lanoa University of Magic.

But his room was not spacious. It was fine if he lived alone, but it would not be enough if Sarah lived there too.

And considering the children they will have in the future, it’s about time to consider buying a house nearby.

"call--"

After entering the hotel room and taking off her coat, Sarah collapsed directly on the bed.

Although she said she didn't need such careful care, the fatigue from the journey was hard to dissipate. Finally reaching her destination, Sarah relaxed.

"I don't feel like going out all day today."

Sarah covered her head with the quilt and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Then have a good rest. I'll go downstairs and get you some food."

"Ah."

"If you want to go to bed, you'd better wash up first."

"Um……"

Sarah responded incoherently.

Ron deliberately packed his luggage slowly. After a while, he finished packing. When he came back to look at Sarah, she had already fallen asleep with her eyes slightly closed and breathing evenly.

She looked really exhausted.

Ron smiled knowingly.

What is love?

Love is companionship, and companionship is the most lasting confession.

Ron once owed Sarah a lot, and now he wanted to make up for it. And perhaps because of their daily interactions, their relationship had gradually settled from the initial passionate lovers to become like an old married couple.

The journey from the Kingdom of Asura to Sharia was like a honeymoon trip for Ron.

It allowed him to get to know Sarah better.
