"You're implying I'm weak, mother? I can handle it!" Aarae said a bit angrily.
I guess she still had that fighting spirit even while being pregnant…
She's a lot like Gaby and me, actually.
"Haha, nah, I mean that big belly you got there, Aarae! You're a pregnant woman, remember that. you have to take care of your belly for now, the child won't take movements that are too rough," Gaby giggled, patting our daughter's belly.
"Geez, okay… I know…" sighed Aarae, looks like she really wanted to join in the fight.
"I also wanted to join but you said I was too big and slow…" Valentia stepped in.
"Sorry about that honey…" I apologized. "I think I can make something for you in that regard. A special size-altering accessory! Would that be okay with you?"
"Can you? But I've tried so many, and even magic, and my size won't go below ten meters…" sighed Valentia. "And I hate being so huge all the time! Some like it like auntie Nesiphae, or big sis Amiphossia, but not me…"
"I completely understand, it'll be quick, now that I've become so powerful… Here," I said, conjuring out of thin air using my own exoskeleton, fangs, blood, and cosmic energy, plus a small Double Realm Core Fragment as the core.
FLASH!
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have synthetized the [Cosmic Macrocosmic Size-Altering Bracelet (SSS Grade)] x1!]
[You have added Ego Fragments, the Bracelet has evolved into a Cosmic Ego!]
I gifted the dark-blue bracelet to my dear daughter, she kind of liked it.
"Wow, it was that easy?! Holy shit, mommy, thank you!"
She equipped it and quickly became as small as she wanted, around my usual size of 2.60 meters.
Perhaps to normal humans that's still big, but for us it was the perfect average size.
"Aarae! I can finally hug you without risking hurting you!"
Valentia cried as she gently hugged her brother.
"Big sis…" Aarae smiled, hugging her back. "I'm glad…"
"Well, glad this could be resolved, maybe we should give a bracelet to the other giants out there?" wondered Gaby.
"For sure, I'll give some to Nesiphae, Amiphossia, Nixephine, Truhan, Celica, and the others," I nodded.
As I talked with my shark family, Agatheina quietly sneaked behind me, kissing my neck.
"A-Agatheina! You almost scared me."
"Hmm~ I missed this, sorry."
Her sharp fangs pierced my tender neck, as she started drinking some of my blood.
Shew as hungry, I suppose it is because she's pregnant.
I suppose my blood is the most nutritious she could ever find for the baby.
"It's fine, how is the baby?" I caressed her hair as she licked my neck, the two little wounds she left behind quickly regenerated once she was done drinking.
"It has begun moving a lot, ahh, it's so big too, look," she sighed, lifting her dress to show me her big belly.
I caressed it, feeling the baby resting inside.
"It is very big, you're probably giving birth within a few days at most," I nodded, caressing her belly, and kissing it. "Mooch, mooch~ I hope they're born healthy."
"As long as you give me lots of love and blood, I am sure they will~" Agatheina giggled with a motherly smile.
"Well, you have quite a lot of children, so I suppose you're quite experienced in raising babies?" I wondered.
"A-Ah, well… I have many children, yes, but most of them were converted from other races into Vampires. This is the first time I actually get pregnant…" Agatheina blushed.
"I see~ Wait, you said most, so what are the others?" I wondered.
"The others were created by me, usually through my Summoning powers, in a similar manner that the Necromancer created the Trolls, through Divine Pools of Blood, where young Vampires can be created," said Agatheina. "I usually don't do that anymore, the Vampires born from such pools have short lifespans and are generally much weaker. But some of them had children, who were born much stronger."
"So that's how it is," I nodded. "Oh right, there's a lot of new Vampires we happened to recruit, they were prisoners of one of the Recessed. They're over there, if you want to boss them around a bit. Allan is also a Hero of his world, apparently the Moon Goddess fragment chose him."
"Is that even a thing? I had no idea!" Agatheina said. "But why didn't the Moon Goddess choose YOU as her hero instead? It makes no sense!"
"Ahaha, well, Kireina wouldn't have accepted anyways, she said it wasn't something she should become, it was Allan's world, so he'll become the hero of his world," said Gaby. "You sure got a big belly too, but I think my daughter's a bit bigger, hehe."
"M-Mom, don't compare pregnant bellies, that's weird!" Aarae reprimanded her mother, giving her a karate chop in the head.
"Ouch, okay, my bad! Sorry…" Gaby cried, kissing Aarae's belly instead. "Look, I'm giving my grandchild kisses instead, is that better?"
"Y-Yeah!" Aarae nodded.
My daughter is much moodier than other girls, especially now that she's pregnant. She has become quite demanding, but that's also really cute.
"Erwin, carry me to the dining room please," Aarae asked.
"Of course," Erwin gently carried her on his back. "Let's go my love."
She was using her husband like a horse…
Well, he was quite literally a Kelpie Centaur, but still, it's a bit funny.
…
Moving back inside my gigantic castle, which I think Charlotte has been upgrading because it feels like it is becoming larger every time I look at it, we had a large feast.
The rest of my children and wives came to greet me. Even Astraea and Andromeda were present, despite being so busy all the time.
"I'm glad you managed to do it, Kireina-sama. I was quite worried, but we were cheering for you from here," Astraea smiled.
"Yeah! With that giant Star you can surely Rank Up now!" said Andromeda. "I thought you would eat it right away though?"
"Not yet, I need to first find a way to duplicate it or something similar," I said. "Well, we'll find that out tomorrow, let's have a good time now, you two."
I hugged them both, as they were sitting to my left and right, and offered them some drinks.
"O-Oh well, if you insist…" Andromeda giggled.
"Thank you…" Astraea smiled cutely.
They're so cute! I'm so lucky I have them with me, I love all my girls.
