Chapter 266 – Colorful (8)
“Explain it. As short as possible and easy to understand.”
Soya was restless in front of me. When she did her physical examination at Eve, she said that Soya was with her manor side of her, so she had to listen to her explanation of her. Soya met my eyes and was embarrassed. The cold sweat running down her forehead indicated the level of tension she had now. She started to explain urgently.
“Ah yes. Originally, mermaids have a rather unusual way of giving birth among difficult births, but that… It is a structure in which the body produces eggs according to the type of fish consumed during the fertile period. So now , if you look at the research paper [Comparison of fetal conditions according to the organisms consumed by mermaids], Which was experimented 13 years ago at the Magic Tower, mermaids who ate sharks during their fertile period now gave birth to eggs with fetuses that were more ferocious and had more muscle mass. There is a result that the embryos of mermaids who ingested ornamental fish are very small and light in weight.”
“Then what happens if you eat pork?”
Is there a mix of a pig and a mermaid? In response to my curiosity, Soya shook her head and said,
“There was a person who actually did the experiment, but in that case, they say they didn’t get pregnant. There is a clear distinction between being pregnant and not being pregnant. Now, in the academic world, about the way mermaids reproduce, fish in a way that is usually unknown in the body… Now we know that they absorb that trait and give birth to children.”
“Okay.”
It’s a complicated story, so I decided not to ask more questions about it. It is common sense in this world, but there was nothing I could tackle. In fucking asexual reproduction, the type of offspring changes depending on the type of fish eaten? What kind of girl-specialized race is this?
“That’s why it’s commonly known that mixing with humans is impossible. According to Professor Buckler’s thesis titled [Mating Experiments with Mermaids and Human Slaves] Published 8 years ago, a total of 6 mermaids were secured and a total of 108 mating experiments were conducted during the fertile period, but there was no case of successful mixed- race birth. I think it is impossible for a mixed blood to be born between a mermaid and a mermaid. There is a record of it.”
“Eve is a child who was fertilized with great difficulty, breaking through those slim odds.”
“Yes. So, this time in the Kingdom and the Magic Tower… He said he would do it for free on the condition that he write the story as a thesis…”
“The story that my fucking wife is infertile is coming out as a thesis? Cow Are you out of your mind?”
“Oh that… Ji, please calm down! Lord! That… Eve requested that. You said you want to get tested in a way that doesn’t cost money! That’s why the Mage’s Tower offered it instead of completely freeing the inspection fee!”
“Why? It’s not that the estate is short of money.”
“That is… Because if you spend money, there will be a record of your payment. If the lord sees it before the results come out, it’s embarrassing…”
Certainly, when I looked at the payment records, if there was a record of calling a doctor or the Mage Tower, I would have called Eve right away. Regardless of the outcome, Eve was the type to be ashamed to say that she was worried about this. I found her palate bitter even as she understood. Seeing that they even received an inspection, they must have already stamped the contract and left the Mage Tower bastards writing their papers.
“So, without my knowledge, the people of the territory concocted and called the person from the Mage Tower to examine Eve?”
“Ji, please calm down. Lord. I know how these kinds of tests work. There are now separate female doctors and female wizards who specialize in examining this area. Because now, it’s not just special cases like Mr. Eve who are being tested for infertility problems, but also other aristocratic wives… There is a separate task force within the palace.”
“I don’t really care about that. What annoys me right now is why you didn’t say a word to me while worrying about that. Could you tell me I don’t think Eve should be in charge of the posterity or do anything great. All you have to do is stay by my side. That’s what her wife’s role is. Just being with my husband.”
“That… The lord seems busy these days, so he told me to keep quiet…”
“Tsk.”
I didn’t worry about whether the doctor was a woman or a man. If this kingdom was sane, it would have created a doctor system dedicated to noble wives. More than that, it was too bad that Eve kept her mouth shut because of my worries. I wish I could have said just one word.
I said.
“Continue explaining. So why are you infertile?”
“That… Now, humans have wombs, and mermaids have other organs in their bodies that function like wombs. But Mr. Eve… So Eve has a human upper body, but her lower body is neither mermaid nor human , so it feels like that, right?”
“Yes?”
Soya was doing his best to find a roundabout expression, so I gave a rough affirmation and moved on.
“That’s why the function of the uterus itself is broken. So… They look too much like mermaids to give birth, and their bodies resemble humans to lay eggs, so they are in such a state that they don’t have the ability to synthesize eggs inside their bodies.”
“Can’t lay eggs, can’t make children?”
“Yes…”
Soya closed her eyes again. I had a headache. With a rough gesture, Soya stood up from her seat and said.
“That, I should have stopped it, but that…”
“You don’t have that right. Cow Stop talking nonsense and get out. I need to organize my thoughts.”
“Ah yes… That, but…”
“A cow?”
“Yes. All right…”
Soya opened his door and walked out with his shoulders drooping. I was confused in my head. Actually, it was strange from the beginning. Because I had sex with Eve so many times and she never got pregnant. Erina, who became pregnant in a week, and Artyrang, who became pregnant in one shot during the dragon’s fertile period, were in contrast.
However, having only suspicions and being firmly rooted in the facts were two different matters. I knocked on the desk and kicked out again to get up. Taking out your anger on others only made things worse. I had to visit Eve again.
“Eve. It’s okay?”
I had managed to coax Eve and put her in the room earlier. The hem of the quilt on her bed her brushed against her, as if announcing that she was in her room her. As if in response to my knock, a frenetic movement hit the mattress. How much time has passed The door is open. Eve had cried in her room her, and her eyes her were swollen. She said, shrinking her body.
“Why, why?”
“Let’s talk. Go in.”
“Yes…”
He wasn’t normally confident. She was gloomy, and a melancholy atmosphere hung over the room. Her pillow her was damp. Tear marks were stamped in the shape of a human face, complicating the atmosphere in the room. I felt as though I had just fallen into the middle of a comedy.
When I sat down in the parlor chair, Eve sat down on the edge of the bed. I asked.
“Eve. Why are you crying so much huh? You don’t have to cry Do you think I will hit or get mad at my Eve for not being able to have children?”
“No…”
Eve shook her head and said. It was a child who couldn’t help but cry. A scolded and depressed child. I said again, wiping away her tears.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Huh? Eve. Are you okay. I just want you to stay by my side Who knows me better than you? That’s enough. Because I can only have you.”
“But… But… Black…”
“But?”
Eve’s face contorted. Tears streamed down from her eyes. I started crying as if my sadness had exploded. Even as she cried, she opened her mouth.
“I… Wanted to have… Uh… Groom baby. So, nice… I wanted to do everything for you… My mom… The things she did for me. .. I, now that I’m the lord’s wife… I won’t get hit anywhere, and no one will hit me…Run away…Because there is no need…Really…Do good…Wanted…Hehe…Black…”
I had nothing to say. What should I do at a time like this? What should I comfort you? I hugged her tightly and patted her back. Eve hugged me and began to cry even more sorrowfully.
“Groom… Sorry… Black… Even if the groom doesn’t have a baby… I like me… Black… Giving… I know… Still… Greedy… Nana… So…”
“It’s okay. Huh? It’s okay.”
Her tears her wet her collar. But it didn’t matter. I petted Eve and continued to soothe her. She cried for a long time. I’ve been hugging her for a very long time. I stroked her hair and wiped her tears. As we lay together in her bed, she hugged me tightly and whispered that I loved her. Eve sniffed and hugged me tightly.
“It’s okay. Huh? I’m with you.”
“Yes…”
Eve hugged me tighter. As if I’d run away anywhere. I hugged her tight enough that her back hurt a little and told me.
“Groom.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Sorry.”
“What. Yes?”
“Just, everything.”
Eve cradled my chest and her shoulders her trembled. I spent the night patting her on the shoulder her.

Early the next morning, Selu was out at the edge of the pool, watching the rising sun. I walked slowly beside her. Sellu glanced at me, then she looked back at the sun. I sat down next to her. Sellu came closer to me and leaned against her. Her snapped, fire-soaked hair her clung to her sleeves her. It left a faint water mark in the shape of her hair.
“Sellu.”
“What’s the matter?”
“It is very strange to live.”
“I know.”
We were looking at the sun with our mouths shut. This time, Selu was the first to open her mouth.
“I didn’t know you would have such trouble.”
“Me too. Infertility, I thought it was just other people talking about it.”
Sellu said, holding my arm tightly.
“She does n’t want to be a grandmother, but I still wanted to see Eve tease me for being her grandmother her. She’s holding a little baby, coming in front of me and saying, ‘Baby. Look. I should say hello as her grandmother.’”
“I want to see that too.”
“She wanted to remain Eve’s mother her all her life, but it’s sad that she is still called mother.”
As the sun rose, the warm rays of the sun swept over us. I said.
“Sellu.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I will still love you. Sellu is like that too, right?”
“Hehe.”
Seluga grinned.
