EP.99 Finally Giving Birth? The Baby's Gender is...
Jeon Yo-hwan pressed his forehead.
He felt like he was going to lose his mind from the real-time damage reports coming in.
Then Beren rushed into the office. She clearly had a surprised face.
Jeon Yo-hwan spoke up.
"Beren, wait. No matter how urgent, you shouldn't just..."
"Ilsim Peace has fallen!"
"What?"
"Itcan Company brought down Ilsim Peace! The cult leader is dead, the cardinal is dead, and their church headquarters was completely wiped out!"
It was truly incredible news.
It was as if Ilsim Peace had been blown away from the map.
Jeon Yo-hwan who had been staring blankly for a while tilted his head.
He blinked a few times then felt a headache coming on.
"What did you say? Haha, hey. You speak our language well, don't you? This is..."
"I'm telling you it's true?"
Only then did Jeon Yo-hwan react in shock.
Itcan Company had been on the rise for a while.
But that was all due to Sung Ikhyun.
It was just a result riding on Special One's name value.
It was just a stock that would eventually lose value and collapse on its own.
Rather, Ilsim Peace had an overwhelmingly higher rate of actual growth.
There must have been some well-off people among the cult followers too.
This was a fact acknowledged even in the community.
But that Ilsim Peace had fallen to Itcan Company.
And in an instant at that.
Jeon Yo-hwan who had been thinking for a moment laughed weakly.
'Was all of this the picture Special One had been drawing? I wondered what was going on out of nowhere. Haah, is this really true.'
He felt like Sun Wukong who had been played in Buddha's palm.
To think that he.
He who had been using his brain to live even before becoming a player.
To think he had now been played by Special One's picture.
Jeon Yo-hwan thought Ilsim Peace had really gone crazy.
So he had countered them even while busy. But all of this was Sung Ikhyun, Special One.
To think it was a picture drawn by this one man.
"Haha, hahahahaha!"
"Mr. President?"
"This is surprising. I knew Special One was amazing but to this extent. Haah, call back all the council members we sent out."
"We're already doing that. What next..."
"For now we'll focus on solidifying the government internally. However, we may have to face Itcan Company someday. We'll prepare countermeasures for that."
As he finished speaking, Jeon Yo-hwan clenched his fist.
He exhaled heavily with his eyes shining. He felt like he could finally see the enemy clearly.
***
A church in Gonghe-dong.
We put Ivy on the platform where the priest gives sermons.
Sol-ji and Seo-hyun who had free hands came to help.
Honestly, this was my first time with something like this.
To think the person I love is giving birth.
But we couldn't go to a hospital.
Because none of the hospitals in this neighborhood are currently owned by us.
'I tried to take over hospitals first...'
There were many bastards who had similar shares.
And since drinking a potion would fix things even if you got sick, I had left it alone.
Some regret washed over me.
Sol-ji scratched her head beside me.
"Ah shit. What should we do? Bring towels first?"
Meanwhile, Seo-hyun was calm.
"No, we need a basin to receive the baby and water first! That's right, a small bathtub would be good."
I looked around immediately.
The church was very spacious.
Since it doubled as a columbarium, there were all sorts of things.
When I went into the storage room, I saw a bathtub kids play in.
It was small enough to be just filled by one adult sitting in it, but surprisingly heavy.
I carried that and got water from a nearby tap.
"I brought water!"
"First sit the executive director in there. Don't sit her fully, more like perched!"
"Okay!"
I followed Seo-hyun's instructions exactly.
Ivy was in pain but still smiled while gasping.
"Fufu, my husband. My husband is doing his job properly?"
"Is this the time for jokes?"
"Urk! Why? Haah, this is right for me. I'm okay!"
"If it hurts, say it hurts. No one will say anything."
"Actually it hurts a little... Aaaak!"
Ivy felt contractions as she threw her head back.
I don't know how much pain she's in.
At the same time, her water broke with a splash.
I swallowed dryly in surprise.
"W-what do we do now?"
Seo-hyun looked between Ivy's legs for a moment then shook her head.
"Oh my, is the baby coming out already? How is this... First, Executive Director. Take deep breaths in and out. It's hard but you have to do it!"
"Eung! Haa, huu, haa, huu!"
It was really amazing.
If it was a fight, if it was a game.
I would be confident to perform anytime, anywhere.
But I know nothing about this kind of thing.
No, my head and body are freezing up.
Ivy focusing on giving birth while in pain came first.
I know this, but I don't know what I can do.
Rather, I wanted to be in pain instead.
How much pain is Ivy in? I couldn't bring myself to speak.
Sol-ji came to my side.
"Take this, Master."
"This is a cushion?"
"It's clean. Wrap the baby in this when you receive it. There's nothing better."
I looked at Sol-ji in surprise.
She's doing what needs to be done after all.
"...Thanks."
"Haah, I want to have a baby too. I want to have and raise Master's child♥"
"Not for a hundred years!"
I approached Ivy.
Seo-hyun massaged Ivy's thighs while stroking them.
"It's okay. It will take strength but you need to stay calm. Huu, haa, keep maintaining it."
"Eung! Hit, aaaak!"
Ivy soaked in pain.
Seo-hyun was a really amazing woman.
She looked familiar with this as if she had done it often.
Then her water broke again with a splash and flowed out.
'Is something going wrong? What if something goes wrong? Should I buy a potion... No. Is it my fault?'
I was flustered but shook my head.
'No, let's watch calmly. I can't be in pain instead but!'
I reached out and held her hand.
I tried to do what husbands in dramas do as much as possible.
Ivy smiled at me even while in pain.
As if saying everything will be alright.
"Tha-thank, heuk, you, husband...!"
"No, relax, darling."
I barely conveyed with a trembling voice.
Ivy's screams filled the church.
The sunset light shining through the church windows looked mystical.
"Euheuk, aaaak! Haa, huu, haa! Euheueuk!"
"A little more, just a little more! The baby's head is almost out, push a little more!"
"Euheueueueuk! Eung, huu, haa, aaaaaaaak!"
"I see it, it's coming out properly! Oh my!"
And in an instant.
Her legs spread wide and amniotic fluid poured out as if announcing the end.
Behind that flood-like momentum.
A lump of flesh was falling down.
I caught it right away.
A smaller and lighter than expected fetus entered the world still connected by the umbilical cord.
"Uwaaaaang!"
The baby cried loudly.
Is it a boy? Good lungs.
Seo-hyun quickly examined it.
"Wait, let's cut the umbilical cord first...!"
Then Sol-ji came and marveled.
"Oh my, it's a girl!"
"How do you know? I can't see because of the blood."
"I can see it though?"
You can see it? Ah, is it that?
I focused. The outline of the fetus's body became visible. Then it appeared clearly as if detected by infrared.
It was a girl.
What should be there if it was a boy wasn't there.
Seo-hyun skillfully cut the umbilical cord with a weapon she took out, applied some disinfectant, then wiped the fetus's body with a towel warmed as much as possible.
When she held and wiped the fetus, I held out the clean part of the cushion.
"Here."
"Yes, it's a beautiful baby girl!"
We finally did it.
She has come into this world.
Our child.
Ivy cried out while crying.
She had a relieved expression.
"Viva! It's a girl? A little girl? Heoheong, amazing! Uwaang!"
"Ivy, you did well. It really is a beautiful baby girl! Hyaa."
I marveled while looking down at the child.
Seeing the child squirming in my arms.
It felt like a resonance was transmitted from deep in my chest.
It was a resonance I would never feel living an ordinary life.
'What is this emotion?'
But I wanted to savor this moment now.
Because the fruit of our love has finally come into the world.
The baby's cries filling the church.
I handed the baby to Ivy.
Ivy who received the baby stroked its face even though she must be tired.
"Heuheuk, she's really pretty! She's a total princess!"
"Yeah, she is."
"What should we name her?"
Only then did I think of it.
I do have a name in mind.
I'm not good at this kind of thing.
"Narin, let's name her Narin."
"Narin?"
"It means 'descended from heaven' in pure Korean. She's our first child, right?"
"Yeah! Narin, it's pretty! Heaven has given us a gift! Let's raise her with love!"
"Of course. Now rest well."
I stroked Ivy's hair with a contented smile.
She looked the most lovable in the world as she cried while holding Narin.
I felt relieved with this.
I asked Seo-hyun.
"But Ms. Seo-hyun, how do you know all this so well?"
"I lived with my grandmother for a while when I was young. It was in the countryside and my grandmother often went to do midwifery? I followed her."
"Ah, still you're amazing!"
"It's nothing. Then how about a bonus... Fufu."
"Of course!"
As I was smirking, Sol-ji approached stealthily.
"Hiing, what about me?"
"Right, Sol-ji. You carried us!"
"That sounds like you're treating me like an idiot! But I like it, hihi. The baby is pretty!"
I was glad everyone was happy.
It felt like we had finally overcome a hurdle.
I nodded slowly while feeling relieved inside. The baby was born.
My and Ivy's baby.
Her name is Narin.
She's a cute baby girl.
I went to Ivy.
I hugged her.
"I love you, Ivy."
"Yeah, I love you. Ikhyun♥"
We slowly kissed each other.
Ivy was still beautiful, healthy, and lovely.
A notification suddenly appeared.
It was a notification that I cleared a Heroine Quest.
It had appeared briefly in passing last time too.
'Following last time, this time too! Is it a cumulative +10 to all stats then?'
I found it amazing.
Now there's only one thing left to do with this. I wonder what reward they'll give when I do that?
Now I wanted to take Ivy to the one-room to rest.
But I couldn't do that.
Because another notification I had never seen before appeared in the air.
