Reincarnated Devil’s Strongest Hero Training Plan ~The baby he picked up has grown up so well that his father is confused~

Chapter 138   New Lives

While the low-calss demon plotted a final showdown with his own son and spent several months in the heavens dealing with various matters, Ars, who had happily married Hades, was enjoying a blissful, cozy life as a newlywed couple. Despite wondering about the sudden disappearance of his father, Kakyu, and his mother, Elsa, from the magic castle, he was relishing the intimate moments with his beloved wife.

“Here, Ars. Say ‘ahh.'”

“Ahh.”

Hades, wanting nothing more than to see the smile of her beloved Ars, wore a revealing apron that emphasized her voluptuous chest, reputed to be irresistible to men, as she fed him freshly prepared food. While such a seductive outfit would indeed stir the desires of an average man, the heart of the hero Ars was exceedingly pure.

For Ars, more than Hades’ sensual appearance, which was his exact type, he appreciated the love and effort she put into making him happy. This made him even more fond of her. Understanding this, Hades couldn’t help but fall deeper in love with Ars, who understood her feelings so well.

“Yum! Hades’ homemade cooking is always delicious! Thank you for always going through the trouble. If you’d like, I could cook next time.”

“Mmff!? R-really? Ehehe… That would be wonderful…”

Ars’ gentle smile and sincere compliments for her cooking, combined with his gratitude and respect for his loving wife, hit Hades with a double punch of affection. She experienced another heart-throbbing moment, one of countless since their marriage, and her mind was filled with pink, love-struck thoughts.

At this rate, it seemed that even in their nighttime life as a couple, Ars would hold the upper hand.

“Hehe… I’m just so happy… Right? You think so too, don’t you?”

As Hades basked in the blissful, loving atmosphere, she placed her hand on her growing belly and spoke to it. The swelling of her stomach wasn’t due to lack of exercise or weight gain. Simply put, she was carrying a new life, a testament to their love.

Apparently, it wasn’t possible for a child to be naturally conceived between a demon from another world and a dark elf. However, between the hero born in this world and the princess of the demon realm, it was indeed possible to conceive a child.

Moreover, the low-class demon who came from another world was a special being, almost like a magical creature. In contrast, the demons of this world leaned more towards physical existence than magical, making it somewhat natural for them to bear children with humans.

However, the duration of the pregnancy was unknown, so it was uncertain whether the new life would take a while to be born or would be arriving soon.

“When our child is born, we need to tell Ein and Isha-chan too. Their first child is about to be born soon as well. If we’re lucky, our children might become childhood friends like us.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Gaius’s kid with Amanda is already five this year, isn’t she? That little one is so sharp I almost forget her age…”

“Haha… I kind of think so too.”

By the way, their dear friends Isha and Ein had just completed a grand wedding ceremony at the Grand Cathedral of the Calamiera Church, coinciding with her becoming the Pope. The wedding, blessed by many citizens, was reportedly spectacular.

Ars and Hades’ wedding was also significant, gathering dignitaries and stakeholders from around the world, but their friends’ wedding was undoubtedly on a similar scale.

Gaius’s daughter, whom he confidently claimed had all her talents focused on intelligence, was growing rapidly and amazed her parents daily. By the age of three, she had mastered basic arithmetic and the language of this world perfectly. At five, she was now engrossed in reading history and academic books at the library, her knowledge already surpassing that of the average commoner.

However, she was extremely clumsy, often tripping over nothing, and lacked the stamina to walk from home to the library. Therefore, Gaius or Amanda always carried her on their backs for the commute.

Having retired from their adventuring days, Gaius and Amanda started a small inn as a side hobby. Thanks to the vast wealth they accumulated as S-rank adventurers, they didn’t need to work hard, allowing them plenty of time to spend with their daughter. Consequently, one of them was always available to accompany her to the library.

Understanding this, their intelligent five-year-old appreciated her parents’ support while diligently studying magic to compensate for her lack of physical ability and stamina. Impressively, she had already learned body-strengthening and stamina-recovery spells.

Mastering magic requires not only intelligence but also a certain level of magical aptitude and a sufficient amount of magical power. Fortunately, she possessed both. She claimed, “When I wish to learn magic, someone unseen lends me the necessary power.”

The adults around her believed she was favored by some deity, while her parents, knowing the truth, would chuckle and say things like, “The master’s being overly generous,” or “This is more than just a small blessing…”

Indeed, low-class demons were known for being exceedingly indulgent towards their kin.

Reflecting on this extraordinary five-year-old, Ars and Hades could easily see how she might achieve such feats. Though she couldn’t surpass the hero Ars, who had been enhanced by the low-class demon, her potential in magic alone was undeniable.

As the newlyweds chatted in their magical castle in the southern continent, considering a visit to their friend Gaius or a break for their childhood friend from daily political duties, a letter had mysteriously appeared on the table before them.
