After Retirement, Living a Stud Life in Another World - Chapter 245: Have a Safe Trip

Chapter 245: Have a Safe Trip

“Please hurry. Lady Annaliese awaits.”

After finishing the mere observation called a military exercise review, I returned to my home, a log house. Adel, with a stern ◯tsuka face, greeted me. I heard Liese’s due date was next week, but signs of labor appeared earlier.

“But I haven’t prepared anything…”

As I started to say this, a white hand reached out, and Adel quietly placed an oak leather bag before me.

“I prepared enough for three days. If it takes longer, the palace will provide preparations.”

The gentle alto voice belonged to Ayaka, of course.

“Sorry, Ayaka, I should have ordered the butler to prepare.”

“No, we must know where everything is in this mansion. I apologize for overstepping.”

Yes, the master of this house is “Madam” Gretel. Even if she doesn’t prepare my underwear or socks herself, she wanted to be the one to order it.

Still, she was commanding the territorial army’s exercise, sweating profusely, until just now. She had no time to look after me physically. Gretel’s holy platinum aura hands exist to wield a magic silver axe, not to fold my pants.

“No, you helped, Ayaka. Thank you. I just wanted to do something wifely for a bit.”

“Hehe, you thought something so cute. But Lady Margarete accomplished a ‘wifely feat’ no one else, not even Her Highness Beatrix, could.”

“Huh?”

“You will bear a boy inheriting Lutz’s rare ability.”

At Ayaka’s words, Gretel looked stunned for a moment, but understanding soon spread across her face. Honestly, even objectively, it’s quite a feat. Among my many impregnation achievements, only Gretel bore a boy with my magic mobile battery ability. Whether my other ability—my odd impregnation ability—passed to Reinhardt remains unknown until he reaches puberty.

“…Yes, I thank the Supreme God for that.”

My childhood friend, with an unusually gentle air, softly smiled and lightly fixed my slightly crooked cravat.

“Well, have a safe trip. It’s Liese’s first birth… Lutz, you must hold her hand and encourage her.”

“Yeah, I’ll go.”

“Since you’d just stare at Michaela’s legs here anyway, stay in the capital until the baptism. Beato must miss you too. And… you have promises with Miyuki and the others, right? Don’t keep them waiting too long.”

I feel my reputation is unfairly low, but her leniency about me spending time with other women is appreciated. I’d better not say anything unnecessary; silence is golden.

I picked up the bag Ayaka prepared and approached Adel for teleportation magic to the capital.

“…”

For some reason, Adel silently closed her eyes, appealing for something.

“Yeah? What’s wrong?”

“You’re cruel, Lutz. Don’t you know my magic only covers a one-way trip? You know what to do… yet you enjoy teasing women.”

Oh, is she demanding… By the time I realized, the distance between me and this treasure-like girl was zero. She grabbed my neck and devoured my lips. As I dazedly indulged in the sensation, she slipped her tongue in, playing freely…

“Adel, isn’t that enough magic?”

“Haa, fine, I’ll let him go for now. As always, replenishing magic with Lutz is the best. You’ll do it again in the capital, right?”

Adel teased Gretel, who sounded a bit jealous, with plenty of confidence. Well, this girl truly loves girls; she’d never get serious about me. Or maybe she’s teasing on purpose…

“Hey, Adel, you’re not trying to go after Gretel, are you?”

Gretel, not Adel, reacted to my words. She backed away three meters at Mach speed, clearly intimidated. Well, that’s expected… My childhood friend is super straight when it comes to romance.

“Hehe, Lady Margarete, don’t worry. I prefer women who might break when hugged, not strong ones… like Her Highness Beatrix.”

Hey, Gretel’s sighing in relief, but I’m not sure if I should feel reassured or not.
