Medusa yawned as she stretched her hands, the back of her neck cracking lightly.
'I feel… weird,' she thought, glancing down at her stomach.
Her small baby bump was visible now… It seemed she was maturing faster than the average human woman, maybe she wouldn't need to carry for nine months.
The living room felt unusually warm today with the late afternoon sunlight spilling across the table where she sat with Veyra, Anya, and Edna.
What were the three women doing?
They were playing cards.
Of course, this wasn't an ordinary card game… it was Cardfold, a popular magical game played across the Empire.
Each card had mana and were marked with glowing glyphs that changed depending on who held them.
"I understand that you met him first and all," Veyra said as she shuffled her glowing deck, her long silver hair tied lazily over one shoulder.
She placed a bright card down… 『Arcane Knight Reverse』.
