"Well…" Leone muttered, her face red as she fiddled with her fingers.
"LEONE, WHY ARE YOU LIKE THAT?" Najenda asked.
Leone's face grew even redder and she looked at me strangely, a smile slowly creeping onto her face.
"I…I think me and Okun are going to have a baby," she dropped the bomb.
Instantly, everywhere went silent. No one spoke a word. I was also shocked and nearly choked on my food, but I managed to swallow it.
"WHAT?"
"EH?"
"R-REALLY?!"
"AHH…"
"HMPH."
Mine was the last person to react and she seemed very angry about it for some reason. I couldn't help but find her behavior cute. Little by little, my harem dream is coming true. Although, there are still many problems to worry about.
Now that I noticed, not only did Mine seem pissed off, Najenda also looked annoyed for a split second, but she quickly relaxed her expression back to a neutral one.
"Let's all be respectful, everyone. Leone made the choice, we should be happy for her instead," Najenda suddenly said.
"Congratulations, Leone!" she added.
"Thank you, Bossu!" Leone said with a giggle and slung her arm around Akame's neck, whose mouth was full of food. Akame was really Leone's bestie.
"Aren't you going to congratulate me, Akame?" Leone said jokingly, pulling her cheeks.
"I look forward to eating lots of food," Akame replied coldly.
"Sigh, Leone really got knocked up by the newcomer. My life sucks," Lubbock sobbed, tears dripping into his mouth as he swallowed a mouthful of rice.
"Eh boyaa, you can always come to me. You are not so bad looking, kekek—"
Lubbock punched Bulat in the mouth just before he could finish his words, and everyone laughed.
"You fucking weirdo! I also noticed you've been staring at my ass lately. I'm gonna slit your throat if you get any weird ideas, okay? I love boobies, not muscles," Lubbock bellowed at Bulat, who continued laughing and teasing him.
It was complete chaos afterwards. The only person who hadn't said anything so far was Sheele. She was surprisingly quiet, sipping her tea. Our eyes met for a split second, but she quickly averted her gaze.
Suddenly, she got up without saying anything.
"What is wrong with her?" Mine asked, looking at me suspiciously as if I did something. Although, Leone didn't seem to notice.
Tatsumi, on the other hand, was looking at me strangely while rubbing the back of his head and muttering something to himself every now and then. I bet he's probably cursing about me being an asshole for leaving his mom back in the village and impregnating girls in the city.
Well, ya can't blame me, stepson. I mean, look at all those jiggle effects.
As for Sheele, I don't know what's going on in her head, but before I try winning her over, there are many things I need to take care of. Leone and Mine are already conquered, Najenda is on the waiting list, Akame seems very resistant to my Teigu, but I don't want to force it at full power yet and blow my cover, so I'll keep playing along.
Well, here's my plan for Bulat. I don't plan on saving his ass from his brutal fate because he's a pain in the ass and his death is really important for Tatsumi to inherit Incursio. If anything, I will work towards his death.
I take one more look at Bulat and shake my head at him. He didn't really offend me, but unfortunately for him, his death is essential to the plot. As for Lubbock, I have a plan for him, fufufu.
"Guys, now that Leone is pregnant, we have to work harder towards achieving our goals. We don't want her out here when her belly starts protruding. I understand everyone is putting their life on the line but… in the end, we all have a goal, something we desire once all this ends," Najenda said, a small smile forming on her face briefly.
When I looked to the side, I saw something outside through the window flying toward us at a ridiculous speed, aimed straight at Bulat.
"WATCH OUT!" I shouted as something broke through the window with great force, and in that split moment, Bulat grabbed the object just an inch away from impaling his head.
The force of the spear was so strong that it pushed him backward along with his chair, and only the tip of the spear grazed his skin.
"They found our hideout!" Najenda exclaimed as she kicked the concrete table, breaking it apart and using the round tabletop to shield everyone from the barrage of arrows that came afterwards.
"Take position, everyone!" Najenda shouted.
Even in this danger, I couldn't help but get an erection as I watched this one-eyed baddie in action. It was as if the more dangerous the situation became, the more excited I got.
