Thanks to a Different World Reincarnation

"Oh! Right, right...!

"You did it, Samantha! Oh, my God!

That's a room in the Adventurers Guild. Greg, whose words of joy don't last very long, and Melinda, who celebrates with a full smile. Before them full of such joy was Samantha with a glowing smile with family blessings.

Samantha's pregnancy. That was what Greg and Melinda were waiting for together.

(That's a good one...)

And a little behind Greg and his family's happiness was a look at Jin and the others staring narrowly at how they were doing.

Having returned safely to Lienz, the Gins first headed to the Adventurer's Guild. And with Samantha, I reported the end of the B-rank promotion exam, but I just told her about Samantha's pregnancy, another report in the flow.

The way Greg, Melinda and Samantha and the others rejoiced was why Jin and the others hoped to be present on this occasion, as well as the most rewarding reward they had earned on this journey.

"Gu, that was really good"

"Sorry, yeah."

Rachel's pointy ears curved in tears with a handkerchief, and Elsa Elsa's tail dripping down her nose. gestures they see when they're reflecting or getting better, but this one is different even if it's similar. That's because of their emotion.

"... really"

Aria also looks like she's holding her head down and biting off her emotions. She's taking off her glasses during her adventure, but now that she's back in this city, she looks like her usual glasses. She is slightly shifting her glasses and holding a handkerchief in her eyes, but there is an unmistakable grin in her mouth. Perhaps that emotion is deeper for the longest time I've been with Greg and the others in this.

(My own child...)

And Jin is also still impressed by the sight. However, even though he was finally rewarded, the agony of Greg and the others, the higher-level reachers, is never other personnel. The straw that had remained stabbed in Jin's heart since that night tickled that heart even in such an emotional state.

"Father?"

I wouldn't have felt that pain, but Towka speaks to Jin like she cares.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Towka?

Gin, who immediately returned to me, grinned to reassure him that it was nothing, stroking the head of his daughter, Touka.

"Mmm... nothing"

If you say so and shake it, Towka hugs Jin all the time. And the warmth gently comforted Jin's heart.

(I don't know. We need to do something about this early)

Jin reflected on what had made Touka anxious and was again aware that he had not yet been able to successfully solve the problem himself.

"I'm sorry. Leave me alone."

"No. Let me put it again than that. Congratulations!

To Greg, who seems sorry, Jin smiles back. The Goto in me was raised to the shelf once, and now I was just sincerely blessed.

"No, well, thank you"

Everyone on the spot narrows their eyes to Greg, who seems to respond to the illumination.

And as Aria and the others verbally said the words of celebration, Rachel continued after the words of celebration and opened her mouth.

"But I'm really glad Miriam pointed it out. Until you told me, I had no idea Samantha was pregnant."

"Oh, Miriam was the first to notice? I have to thank you next time."

He was Rachel, who had some experience seeing pregnant women at the clinic, but he wasn't proficient enough to notice pregnancy in his usual condition without a check-up. Melinda with a smile was responding to her looking horrible.

"That's right! Mother and Instructor Melinda used to be at the same party, didn't they! Don't hide it. I think you can tell me, right?

So you remembered, Elsa stares resentfully at Melinda. Miriam, her mother, would be unconscious, but Elsa, who has been dating quite a long time, was so convinced that Melinda's silence must have been just a prank.

"Pfft. Surprised? Well, either way, it didn't make a difference."

Melinda is a prank success and a full smile. Elsa sighed after all, but that made everyone smile.

"Ha. Well, now let me congratulate you. Congratulations on passing the exam. Now from today on you guys are in B-rank."

"Congratulations, we've only been B-ranked since we were over twenty. Not at a very good pace. I'm counting on it."

"Happy birthday, guys"

Now it's Greg and the others' turn to give the blessing. The fact that B-rank promotion has now created joy in the minds of Jin and the others.

"Thank you. We will continue to improve."

"" "Thank you" "

Aria and the others continued with a smile on Gin, who said so and lowered her head.

"All right, then. If you finish the promotion process on the ground floor after this, go home already and get some rest today. I don't have a lot of B-rank requests around here, but I have a dungeon now. You guys should be able to grow more with this chance. I hope so."

"" "Yes!

Thus the reports on the termination of Jin et al's B-rank promotion test and Samantha's pregnancy were concluded. But he didn't leave immediately, only after the report was private time, Jin went to Greg, and Aria and the others were rushing over to Melinda and Samantha to give him another word of celebration.

"I really congratulate you. Mr. Greg, if you like, why don't you go swallow soon? Let's celebrate."

Couples who can't have children even if they want do exist. Jin has also known that fact since his previous life, but there are many forms of family, and happiness. The presence or absence of children is only one factor in happiness, but still, as a friend, we will have to celebrate when it turns out that the pregnancy we were waiting for in person.

"Oh, thank you. You want me to call Gantz? Why don't you report it to him? Oh, don't talk to me from you, okay? I'll surprise him."

Greg smiles and nods at Jin's invitation and stabs the nail telling Ganz to keep it to himself. And Jin is not wild enough to get in the way of two of his long-time friends, either.

"Ha, I get it. Well, I don't mind if Greg has some free time, so tell me what day it's convenient next time."

"Whoa, I think tomorrow or the night after tomorrow will be fine, so leave me free with that intent. I'll be in touch in the morning."

"Yes, thank you"

Jin smiled and responded that this was going to be a fun swallowing party.

On the other hand, even without trying, Aria and the others were talking about something similar.

"... Mr. Melinda, can we interrupt your house alone next time?

"Jin, you mean without you?

"Yes, there's something we'd like to talk about alone if we could."

I didn't say no to Melinda, but I give Aria her neck for her rare favor.

"Sister Melinda, do me a favor, too. I want you to come with me and talk to him."

Covered fire also enters from Samantha there. Although she had heard the general circumstances on her way home, she wanted Melinda to participate in the event alone. That was also because Melinda's advice helped me to marry Greg.

"Nothing's fine.... Sounds serious."

"Yes. Serious or serious..."

Turning away from the previous festive mood, Aria responding, as well as Elsa and Rachel's faces, were not bright again.

And the next night, in one of the rooms of a certain tavern, there were three people, Jin, Greg and Gantz.

"Waha, congratulations. Today is your B-rank promotion celebration. I'll treat you, don't hesitate to swallow plenty."

Upbeat Gantz bangs Jin's shoulder. Jin has visited Ganz during yesterday and reports that he has been successfully promoted to B-rank. Ganz rejoiced as much as I did, and he was here with the intention of celebrating the promotion of Jin.

"Thank you"

There's no way I'm not happy with Jin for that feeling. While responding with a full smile, I was slightly reluctant to keep such a secret from Gantz.

"Waha. It's a celebration. treat (...), of course."

Greg laughs in a meaningful way, but I don't notice Gantz where it's included. And as it was, Greg put up a glass with booze in it.

"All right, that's a toast then. Celebrating Jin and his B-rank promotion and... my wife Samantha's pregnancy, cheers!

"Cheers!"

"Or... Yep!? Wait, did I say pregnant, now!?

Gin putting up a cup to match Greg's head of voice and Gantz stopping along the way surprised by what he tried to do but couldn't ignore. Greg gave a lavish laugh at the way Gantz reacted as he had hoped.

"Wahahahahaha. That's right, Gantz. Surprised? Samantha's pregnant! I had a baby!

"... right... right! You did it, Greg! What a surprise. Congratulations! Good for you!

Gantz bites the joy of twitching up. I guess it's just a long relationship, and its joy. And when I broke my face, I took the head of the toast myself this time.

"Okay, then it's my treat tonight! Swallow! Cheers!

"Cheers! I'll let you swallow plenty tonight, don't go bankrupt"

"Cheers! I'll have it!

Both Greg and Jin put up their cups with a smile at Gantz's masculine proclamation.

Celebrating liquor is exceptionally delicious, and the gin and the others' cups go on. In the meantime, Gantz smudged and crushed.

"But Greg doesn't have kids. Samantha's lady, of course, but Melinda's got a knack for it."

"Oh. You were right about him.... I didn't have to have kids, but I'm glad I could do it."

Greg responds with just a little light. It was only because Melinda, her first wife, accepted Samantha that Samantha was able to marry Greg after all the advice, and thus have children. Not only did that relieve Melinda of Samantha's thoughts, but she also had the expectation and desire that a child might be able to.

Still, in Greg with levels above 50, it's never likely that a child can. Greg married Samantha for no reason because he wanted a child, but when she was notified of her forced pregnancy, the joy was greater than she could have imagined.

"Waha. Have you finally noticed? Well, we don't have twenty years to be together because we're gonna grow up soon, but still, kids are cute."

You're remembering something, the smile Gantz brings to mind was sweet.

"Right. That's very convincing, if you say so.... By the way, how's Judo's guy?

"Oh. It's been a long time since I got a letter the other day, but it looks like all my grandchildren are doing fine too"

"Ha. That was good. When I'm born, I'll have to ask the senior in parenting to teach me."

"Hey, say it."

"Waha."

Sometimes a name I don't know came up and Jin couldn't get into a conversation between Greg and Gantz, but the content is something I can't ignore.

"Uh, could Mr. Gantz have been married?

"Hmm? Oh, no, you didn't say that. You got kids and grandkids?

Gantz responding openly, but that was nothing but a surprise to Jin.

"This guy was married early. It was when I was still in blacksmith training, so it was definitely after about two years of adulthood, wasn't it?

"Oh. You're pissed off by your master that you're getting a daughter-in-law in half a serving"

Greg and Gantz looked back in nostalgia with a hint of gin to spare.

Ganz trained in blacksmiths before becoming an adventurer, but by that time he married a woman from a family he was familiar with. And about a year later, after completing his blacksmith training, Ganz joined Greg as an adventurer one foot away to become an adventurer, but by then he had already had a child. It is Gantz's word that he then struggled with his daughter-in-law in a state of earnings.

"I've had a hard time with him, but I've been able to live with him since I retired as an adventurer. I think that would have been better."

Unlike a high level of Gantz, the wife used to be an average person, and she broke up a few years ago with a sudden illness. Though she was a sister wife two years older than Gantz, she had just turned sixty, so it was just too soon to die. Ganz was then separated from his children and grandchildren, who lived far away, and thus lived alone.

Children born between couples of different races, by the way, will always be one race or the other, not the half. So Ganz's son was of the same race as his wife.

".................. Surprised"

Sure, it's not weird that Gantz is married at his age, but Jin never imagined the shards, let alone even the children and grandchildren. All I could say to Jin was that one word.

"Waha. Well, if you're getting married too, hurry up. Otherwise you're gonna have a hard time like Greg, huh?

"Ugh, let it go."

The only way Gantz can say this is because of the fact that Greg can have kids. He was a smiling, light-hearted Gantz and Greg, but that was a pinpointing word for Jin now.

"... hey, what's wrong?

There is no smile on Jin's face that silences him. Guntz spoke out worried about the gin of the expression, which could be described as its sinking pain.

"... could you listen to me for a second?

As a senior in his life who went through marriage, and as a friend, Jin decided to let him consult with his dependable predecessors.

"I had the opportunity to talk to Elsa's father on this trip, and that's when the topic came up about Elsa's children. Until then, I had never been aware that, as Mr. Gregg and the others were, the higher the level, the harder it is for children to be. I was also hoping to get married one day and have my own children, but after Touka got on the edge and became my daughter, I didn't really think about it anymore. So I'm good, but the problem is, Aria and the others."

"We are all above level 30 and this time we are in B-rank. And if you keep on working as an adventurer, you'll get more levels, and maybe one day you'll catch up with Mr. Gregg and the others. Until now, that's just what I wanted, but since I was aware of the disadvantages of high levels, I can't even say yes. Regardless of what happens to me and Aria and the others if I do. That's what keeps my head off."

"Does that mean you're anxious to raise the level?

"No, it's natural to rise to a level and become stronger than you chose the job of Adventurer. Aria and the others are also adults, so it would be wrong for me to say this about that decision. Respect for their decisions and I don't have the strength to complain as a buddy or a friend."

Women's happiness is not about having children and equals. Jin had carved into her heart that she should not do anything to discredit their determination to live in the job of adventurer with unsolicited values.

"But when they had someone they loved in the future, they realized that they might not want to level up, which means they might quit being adventurers.... Unfortunately, I don't like the current situation where they're on my side any more than I thought."

What plagues Jin is, in a nutshell, anxiety about the future. While we want them to be happy, we have to leave depending on their choices. And because they were each attractive, they felt it was never unlikely.

"Certainly some men and women retire adventurers because of marriage...... You can't help thinking about that now, can you?

From the Gantz of a relationship that is quite close, it is obvious that Aria and the others are in love with Jin.

Besides, if not, there are a number of other reasons why the problem with the adventurer's advancement and departure is besides marriage and children, all of which can only be said to depend on the circumstances at that time.

Greg also opened his mouth following Gantz, who told him like he was frightened.

"Are you jealous?

Greg penetrates with a grin. From Gin's attitude so far, it seemed like there was something to think about.

"Uh, right. I admit it."

And Jin, too, has to admit that he has that emotion. If they were happy, that should do it, but I felt sorry for myself for not being convinced.

"You're a pitiful monopoly craving while I'm at it. Whatever choice they make, I think we should support them as companions..."

…………

I thought I'd finally start to be aware of the Arias, and even now I'm stunned and speechless by the gin that doesn't break my stance as a companion.

But since Elsa and Rachel became companions, that stance has consistently remained unchanged in the gin, even if sometimes it wobbles.

"... all I can tell you from you is don't think that you can't help it. And you're going to have to be a little more flexible."

"You're right about Greg. Jin, you're too hard on your head. And take a closer look around. I think there's quite a few things you're missing."

I wouldn't have a hard time if I could say Zuba here, but poor advice could have upset the current balance, and it was a high hurdle for the Gregs as well.

"Yes. Thanks to you, it's a little easier. Thank you."

And Jin understood that the advice would be to trust his people more, and seemed to clear his mood by being able to put out the stupidity and anxiety in the name of consultation.

"Oops. It'll be refreshing in time! Well swallow."

"Yes, I'll take it"

And the liquor festival began again.

"- and well, the conclusion of the bastards' story would be this is a good place"

That's how Jin was swallowing with Greg and the others, while Aria and the others were interrupting Melinda's home. Towka is staying at Iris' house.

And in doing so, here's Melinda's response to the consultation Aria and the others had.

Melinda's guess was mostly on the big muscle that Jin would be talking to Greg and the others by now, and what Greg and the others would say to that.

"I won't tell you that they've penetrated your emotions enough to tear you apart, and I don't think Jin will ever notice how you feel with their advice. Maybe one of these days you'll notice, but, well, it'll take time. You can't expect that to change with their advice, can you?

"I agree with my sister, too. I thought so on this journey, but his bluntness is muscular. I mean, I felt like I was ruling out the possibility of a romantic relationship from the beginning."

Continuing from Melinda and Samantha, I lose sight of Aria and the others who expect that talking to Greg and the others might change Gin's feelings. But even for Aria and the others, if you ask me, it was certainly convincing.

"Surely Mr. Greg and the others will care about us, and they won't tell us."

"Oh. I appreciate that... I want to avoid doing bad things and getting awkward, but I don't know what to do."

"That (...) Jin, so you wouldn't make sense if you said something thoughtful..."

Melinda slapped her bread and hands against the weak-sounding arias.

"Yes, that's all I'm worried about. Stop expecting the wretched men and think about how they will behave. What do you guys want? Are we going to continue this relationship and wait for you to realize that one day, Jin? Or does a little confusion strike a ready and thoughtful hand? Either way, there's a risk."

Melinda grins like a prank.

"Jin, you're young, you're B-ranked, and you've earned fame for your magic fever. It is also very popular to know the good character of the temple and other adventurers because of the attitude that gave way to the handles at that time. I'm pretty sure I've been consulted by a few of you to introduce me. It'll take a while, which means a little more from the others."

The arc of Melinda's mouth rises further and Aria's eyes increase in seriousness.

"At least it could trigger something, and it's one hand to confess thoughtfully. However, it's not uncommon for a party to break up because of a romantic entanglement, and that's a risk. Even if you don't tell me, Jin, I can't deny the possibility that you'll get awkward."

And Melinda drops the bomb.

"Plus there's the question of who he chooses. I hope you'll marry all three of you, but it might be a little unusual for your daughter-in-law to be in B-rank. It's likely that only one of you will choose, and if only one of you is chosen, can the other two honestly bless you? Besides, there's a chance I'll choose someone other than you. What will you do then?

I'm not reluctant to say Melinda's words. It's all possible.

"All we can do is give irresponsible advice. But no matter what path you choose, I'm going to do everything I can. Choose. No, think. What's your decision?

Finally, against Melinda, who turns off her grin and sincerely asks that, when the three Arias look at each other and confirm each other's will, they all nod loudly before turning back to Melinda and staring.

"I 'm-"

Each informs the thoughts and decisions.

This time Aria and the others felt the change in gin caused by talking to Maxim. And this is how I talked to Melinda and the others because I didn't make the current situation any better.

And more than that, their answers were like decisive.
