「I"m Having a Baby」So My Husband Told Me

The Identity of the Fluffy One Goes Without Saying

Treat me to a Ko-Fi to give me more motivation!!!



*****

A tense, unpleasant silence settled over the room.

I was drenched in cold sweat, and Arthur was probably even sweatier.

I had instinctively reverted to our normal way of talking, but wasn't that a very bad thing to do?

What if, just what if, the proper authorities learned about Arthur's existence?

If he were taken away and experimented on, deemed a highly unusual case... what would happen?

Maybe I'd regret the current situation a little.


「Arthur, I forgive you for calling me flat-chested. So just try your best to become research material.」

「I didn't say that! And why are you suddenly talking about research material!? I don't get it, but it's terrifying!」


He's talking normally again.

Well, it's too late now to try and revert to baby talk.

Then, the silver-haired beauty abruptly grabbed Arthur by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up.


「Hey, what are you doing to a child!」

「I won't kill him. But I'm interested in the conversation we just had. What's this about eighteen years old?」


So she heard all of that, did she? It's impossible to try and obfuscate... isn't it?

Stared down by her sharp eyes, I gave up on trying to evade the truth.


「Well, we have various circumstances...」

「This brat, could he possibly be a reincarnator? Hmm, to regain memories of a past life at such a young age—how interesting.」


Saying that, the woman gazed intently at Arthur. Arthur dangled, held up by his neck.

Just then, a wind blew.


「—Damn...!」


The woman's eyes widened in astonishment. Arthur was no longer in her hands.

The wind blew in front of me, too. And then...


「Arthur, thank goodness!」


When I opened my eyes, which I had closed reflexively, Arthur was there, held in the beast's mouth.

I gently lifted him into my arms.


「You'll have to settle for the flat-chested one.」

「No, listen, I never said you were flat-chested.」

「But you were thinking it, weren't you?」

「Well, maybe just a little... Wait, that was a lie, a joke. An adult joke by an eighteen-year-old.」

「There is no such joke.」


When I smiled sweetly at him, saying, You'll regret this when we get home, Arthur paled as if terrified.


「Tch, I let my guard down.」

「We've got Arthur back, so we'll be going home now.」

「That would be a problem.」


The woman said and raised her hand. Then, armed men, looking like there were still so many of them, flooded into the room.

Glancing through the broken wall, I looked outside and saw Lord Rauldo still fighting countless enemies. I couldn't expect help from him.

I focused my consciousness on the magic remaining within me. It was too faint... signifying how little magical power I had left.


(Now, what should I do?)


It was then that my clothing was tugged, kui-kui. I had momentarily forgotten about Arthur. Looking down at the one in my arms, I saw a puzzled face looking up at me.


「What is it?」

「Hey, this fluffy animal... is this possibly a wolf?」

「Oh, you figured that out quickly.」


Yes, although the beast was far larger than average, it was unquestionably in the shape of a wolf. Arthur asked, his face contorted as if he were scared.


「Well, I know it's a wolf, but... isn't it too big? Also, I've never seen fur of this color before.」


Under Arthur's gaze sat the large wolf, nestled against my feet. It was covered in very black fur.


「The wolves I know have white, brown, or black fur, various colors... but do all-black wolves like this even exist in this world?」


Was that based on his knowledge from his past life?

One-year-old Arthur shouldn't have seen a wolf in this world. He shouldn't even know it from knowledge. The fact that he knew meant... well, that's what it meant.

And his knowledge from his past life applies to this world too.


「There are no wolves of a single black color. This one is a special wolf.」

「Hmm, a special wolf, huh?」


After saying that, Arthur's eyes widened as if he had realized something.

His face slowly looked up at me, and he tightly gripped my clothes.


「Arthur?」

「Hey, I'm feeling a snag about the word 'wolf.'」

「A snag?」

「Didn't we talk about wolves recently?」

「Did we?」


I tried to play dumb, but Arthur said, 「No, you definitely remember.」 I mentally stuck out my tongue.

Well, it's not really a secret, and it's also true that I thought seeing is believing, and it would be faster that way.

I glanced down, and the 'change' had begun.

The wolf arched its body widely.

It gradually changed its form... and right in front of Arthur, who was too shocked to speak, it transformed.


「...Phew. Being in human form is still easier.」

「Oh, but I like the fluffy husband too, you know.」
