Chapter 220 – Should I tell her?
At Hestia's request, I went to the market and bought eggs, milk, flour, sugar, chocolate, and other ingredients to make the perfect cake for her. It was already night by the ti I finished baking a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
It was a big cake—over three kilos.
On top of it, I placed a few strawberries and even tried to write sothing cute like "I love you."
I admit it turned out a little cheesy, but I'm sure Hestia will like it.
"Hestia!" I called out to her, but she wasn't downstairs and didn't hear . So I went upstairs and headed to her room. I knocked a few tis, and then the door opened. Hestia stood there with a sleepy look on her face.
"What is it? I was sleeping," she said, rubbing her eyes.
"I finished what you asked for."
"Huh?"
"You asked for sothing sweet to eat, didn't you? I just finished it. Why don't you co to the kitchen and take a look?"
"Do you have any idea what ti it is? It's probably two in the morning! What are you doing baking at this hour?!"
"Well, I wanted to make sothing for you and lost track of ti. I'm sorry," I said with a smile.
Hestia sighed. "Alright, let's go. I'm a little hungry anyway~~" she said with a childish smile. We went downstairs together and headed to the kitchen.
When she saw the cake, her eyes widened.
"Oh my gods, what is this???" Hestia exclaid, shocked. "I've never seen such a beautiful cake in my life! You said you weren't good at this—you lied to !"
But I'm really not that good at baking cakes or making sweets. I'm actually a pasta specialist.
"I'm really not good at this."
"Stop lying. Awww, look how cute! It says 'I love you.' I love you too!" Hestia ran over and jumped into my arms. Then she gave
a passionate kiss, and I hugged her tightly.
Our kiss, wet and deep, lasted for several long seconds.
"I love you so much," Hestia said. "I'm sorry for the way I acted."
"Don't worry, I wasn't mad at you… I just felt a little sad. Being ignored by you makes my heart ache."
"You're so cute! When did you learn how to be this adorable?" Hestia pinched my cheeks while I held her in my arms.
"I've always been cute—you just never noticed."

After eating cake with Hestia, we went to the bedroom and ended up making love all night. When I woke up the next morning, I looked at Hestia lying naked beside
and glanced at her belly.
Her belly hadn't grown at all yet, but she was pregnant.
I started thinking about our future child.
I wonder if I should accelerate her pregnancy. Suddenly, I found myself thinking about what it feels like to have a child. I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder if raising a child will change my mindset.
Ever since I ca to this world, I've only cared about seducing won and sleeping with them because of this system.
That's how the past few days and weeks have been.
I tried everything to win over Mikoto, Tiona, Tione, and even Ais. I almost laid hands on the goddess Loki, too. I need to control myself a bit.
I already have a stable life.
I have plenty of money, won who love , and I'm strong enough to defend myself—there's no one powerful enough targeting . My only concern is Freya.
She's definitely watching , and she might try sothing.
But there's no way I'll let her ruin my peaceful life.
I got out of bed and thought about what to do today.
"I think I'll write a bit." I considered going back to the dungeon, but I decided against it for today.
After taking a shower, I sat at my desk and began writing. After almost forty minutes, Hestia woke up. She ca over to
and looked at what I was writing.
"Are you working on a new volu of Re:Zero?"
"Yeah."
"I'm always amazed at how easily you write everything. You've gotten so much faster too."
"Yeah, I've improved a lot…" I replied as I kept writing.
Hestia watched
for a while longer before heading to the bathroom.
I stopped writing and let out a long sigh.
Should I talk to her about accelerating the pregnancy? Would she accept it? But to do that, I'd have to explain the system to her. I trust Hestia a lot, and I'm sure she wouldn't tell anyone about the system.
But what if she found out about the "Charming Aura" skill? She only beca interested in
because of that ability.
Even if she truly loves
now, it all started because of a skill.
I'm starting to feel guilty… Every woman I've won over was because of a skill. I do look good, sure, but the skill made everything too easy.
I never gave it much thought before, but… isn't that wrong?
I let out a long sigh and got up.
After thinking for a while, I decided not to talk to her about it just yet.
I left the mansion and went to my private room to be alone for a while.
Once there, I picked up a few light novels I had stored away and started reading to entertain myself. After getting tired of reading, I sat down at the computer and began rewriting the early volus.
Before I realized it, hours and hours had passed.
Then, to my surprise, soone knocked on my door.
