Chapter 201 – Symptoms of Pregnancy (Hestia’s POV)
*Luan's POV*
A few days had passed, and I had already finished the third volu of Overlord and the fifth volu of Re: Zero. However, I haven't taken them to Elma yet because I don't think it's the right ti to publish another volu.
I kept the new volus stored in my inventory and didn't ntion them to anyone—not even Lili or Hestia.
"Where are you going?"
I was getting ready to leave the house when Hestia suddenly appeared behind . Hearing her question, I wondered what I should say. Should I just tell her I'm going to the Ishtar Familia's house again?
She'd definitely be pretty upset.
"I'll be back soon," I said and tried to leave. But Hestia stepped in my way.
"When you give such a short answer, it's obvious you're going to do sothing I shouldn't know about. Are you going to see another woman? If that's all, I don't mind… but I want to know who she is."
"Since when did you beco such a jealous woman?"
"It's not jealousy, I just worry about you." Hestia blushed and then sighed. "But since you don't want to say… I guess you're going to see soone I don't like. Is it Ishtar? If it's Ishtar…"
"…" I stared at Hestia without saying a word.
"I knew it! You're going to see that woman again! How many tis have I told you not to get involved with her?! What is it this ti?"
"I'm going to the Ishtar Familia's house, but I'm not going there to see Ishtar—I'm eting soone else. Don't worry. I won't be doing anything with Ishtar today, even if she insists. I have other plans."
I was simply dying to et Haruhi. I've been in this world for so long and haven't seen her even once. I had completely forgotten about her.
Just like I forgot about Freya for a mont.
But when I returned to the Hostess of Fertility, I rembered her.
I wonder what she's up to right now.
'Now that Bell has turned into a woman, she must be paying a lot of attention to , right? But she hasn't contacted
even once. Maybe I'm not as important as I think I am.'
"Hey, are you listening to ? You're thinking about unnecessary things while I'm talking to you!"
"Ah, yeah, what was that?"
"You really didn't hear a word! I was asking who this person is. Is she a mber of the Ishtar Familia? You're not getting involved with other prostitutes, are you?"
"Don't worry, she's completely pure," I said.
Of course, that's the truth. Even if Haruhi doesn't know it, she's a virgin—pure and untouched. In other words, the perfect woman for .
Sure, being with experienced won is nice, but taking the virginity of a pure maiden is the best feeling. I could do it every day! Seriously, it's so good.
"…" Hestia stared at
for a few seconds before sighing. "Alright, but I don't want you touching
when you get back. You can only touch
after you take a bath. So—"
That's when, suddenly, Hestia brought her hands to her mouth, and her eyes widened.
"Goddess?" I stepped closer, concerned.
Hestia, covering her mouth, shook her head and took a few steps back. Then she ran to the only bathroom on the first floor. From inside, I could hear her vomiting non-stop.
'…'
My mind went blank for a mont.
So, her pregnancy symptoms are finally starting to show? After all this ti…
I felt my whole body turn cold.
I don't know if it's because of nervousness or anxiety.
'What will she say when she finds out she's pregnant? And what will the other goddesses do?'
Things might get complicated from now on.
Feeling a bit nervous, I left the mansion.
'Should I keep hiding Hestia's pregnancy for now? Should I let her figure it out on her own?' I wondered as I walked down the street.

*Hestia's POV*
While I was talking to Luan, I suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to vomit. I ran to the bathroom and threw up most of what I had eaten that day. I rinsed my mouth and stepped out.
"This has been happening for a while now."
Besides that, I get tired much more easily—sothing that never happened before. It feels like sothing's wrong with , but I don't know what.
Also, have I gained a little weight? My belly is slightly bigger.
I ran my hand over my stomach and noticed that the swelling had increased a little more over the past few days.
"Should I seek help?"
No, I'm a goddess. I shouldn't seek help over sothing like this. It's fine. Nothing's wrong.
Should I tell Luan? He must be worried about .
When I left the bathroom, Luan was already gone, but I heard his footsteps following
earlier. 'He must be really worried about .'
I lay down on the couch, and soon after, the door opened. I thought Luan had co back, but it was Lili.
"Goddess? Are you okay? You don't look too good."
"I'm just feeling a little nauseous, that's all."
"…" Lili stared at
for a few seconds. "By the way, haven't you gained a little weight? Your feet look a bit swollen, too."
"You noticed that too?! It's so strange! I don't know what's happening. I don't know if I should get help."
"Goddess…" Lili, looking a bit nervous, sat down beside . "Can goddesses get pregnant?"
Hearing Lili's question, my mouth opened, but no words ca out.
For a mont, it felt like ti had stopped.
The only thing I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat.
"No… It's impossible," I answered.
