Volume 13 Chapter 353 Shirogane Aqua, Now Seventeen Years Old
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
December 7th is my birthday.
I start my stream from the Shirogane Kingdom¹, just like I did last year.
Immediately, all the fans began to gather.
[Happy Birthday!]
[Aqua-sama has finally turned 17!!]
[Happy Birthday, Aqua-kun!]
[Whoa, has it already been a year since the last birthday stream?]
[Since it’s Aqua-sama’s birthday, it means Christmas is just around the corner.]
[Time flies so fast.]
[It really feels like the end of the year has arrived.]
[Today is the day Aqua-sama descended upon this world. A-qu-aaaa!]
[Aqua-tan, Happy Birthday!]
I see, it’s already been a year since then.
Watching the comment section scroll by at high speed, I feel deeply moved.
”Um, as everyone has been saying, today is my birthday. Since it’s a special occasion, I decided to stream so I could share some of my resolutions with you all,” I said.
I beckoned Kanon and the others, who were nearby, to join me.
”So, here is my wife Kanon, our son Kanoa, and our daughter Anon!”
”Hello,” Kanon replied.
I held the two children in my arms as Kanon sat down beside me.
[Ta… Kanon-sama is here!]
[Kanon-sama is as beautiful as ever today!!]
[Kanon-sama is wearing such cute clothes!!]
[RamenHagetoru: Her maidenly attire is wonderful!!]
[↑ Hey!!]
[You guys… your bad habits are showing!]
[Aqua-kun tilting his head a bit is hilarious LOL]
[Aqua-sama, look to your side! Kanon-sama has an incredible look on her face!!]
[Ah, she switched into lady-mode in a split second!!]
Hm? Did something happen with Kanon?
I stared at Kanon sitting next to me.
”Aqua, what’s wrong?” Kanon asked.
Kanon gazed back at me with a cute, puzzled expression.
Ugh! Maybe I really did marry an angel!
Unable to withstand Kanon’s cuteness, I gave her a peck on the cheek.
[Uwooooooooooooooooo!]
[RamenHagetoru: Is this a public s*x broadcast!? / This comment has been deleted by the administrator.]
[↑ Hagetoru, you really went there LOL]
[The theory that Aqua-sama’s hand speed is the same as the speed of Hagetoru’s comment being deleted.]
[↑ LOL]
[As expected of Aqua-sama! He kisses her so smoothly!!]
[So, when is the second little brother or sister going to be born?]
[Look, Rinon-chan is watching her father and mom’s kiss scene properly. As expected of Kanon-sama’s daughter!!]
[You guys, show some self-restraint!!]
Since we’re at it, maybe I’ll kiss her one more time!
I gave Kanon a peck on the forehead.
”Geez! Aqua, you dummy…” Kanon muttered.
Kanon’s face turned red as she glared at me cutely with teary eyes.
I’m glad I’m streaming today. If I weren’t, I might have gone straight to the bedroom like this.
Kanon was so cute I almost kissed her again, but I held myself back.
”So, thanks to everyone, Kanon and I are still living happily together. Also, this year, I was blessed to have two children with Kanon. Fortunately, both are growing up healthy and strong,” I said.
I pulled Kanon close, my expression turning serious.
”As the head of the Shirogane family, I want to continue supporting my wife Kanon while being involved in raising our children. That is my resolution as Kanon’s husband and as the father of Kanoa and Anon. I am Shirogane Aqua,” I said.
I turned a gentle gaze toward my son Kanoa and daughter Anon.
When the plane crashed, I felt that for the sake of my children, I absolutely could not die.
I was an orphan, so I don’t want my children to experience that.
That’s why I’ve resolved to train harder and live a long life.
[I want to be Aqua-papa’s child too…]
[Is it okay to seek ‘babumy’ from a younger boy!?]
[That Aqua-kun is already a papa… wow.]
[Aqua-kun, if an F-cup older sister is okay, please become my papa!]
[RamenHagetoru: The activity of wanting Aqua-kun to be a papa, or ‘Papa-katsu’ for short!!]
[↑ Uwoooooooooo!]
[I want to do papa-katsu with Aqua-kun too!!]
[Kurushima Fran: I want to do papa-katsu with Aqua-papa! Is an elementary schooler okay!? I have plenty of money! Fran earns enough to support a boy!!]
[↑ Fran-chan LOL]
[Even though she’s a JS, Fran-chan is too strong for earning enough to support a boy…]
[She didn’t win the first Child Queen title at the National Elementary School Strongest Girl Grand Prix for nothing!!]
[The #1 ranked elementary schooler people want to be their mama is doing papa-katsu!?]
Hm? Fran-chan? Eh? Fran-chan wants to do papa-katsu with me!?
No, no, no, no! An image flashed through my mind of me and Fran-chan, wearing her randoseru, disappearing into the neon streets of Shinjuku. No matter how you look at it, that’s a total crime!!
”Staaaaaaare…”
Uh-oh! I noticed the gaze of Kanon sitting next to me and immediately fixed my expression.
W-What’s wrong? I’m not thinking about anything guilty at all, you know.
”I want to do papa-katsu with Aqua too…” Kanon whispered.
”Kanon, you can do that anytime,” I replied.
It was an instant answer. If I can do papa-katsu with Kanon, I wouldn’t mind giving her all my assets.
[RamenHagetoru: These two are definitely going to do papa-katsu after this!!]
[↑ Wh-What was that!?]
[Hagetoru… we’re counting on your report!!]
[Damn, because of Hagetoru, the word papa-katsu sounds like something very naughty!!]
[Sommelier: Hahaha. I see. This is that, right? Seeing Aqua-kun interacting with Rinon-chan and Kanoa-chan made her want some attention too. So she wants to act spoiled, and is using papa-katsu as an excuse!!]
[↑ The Great Detective Sommelier is here!!]
[As expected of the Verification Team²!!]
[Sommelier… you weren’t just a comedy character, you were a real member of the Verification Team!!]
[The mysterious Sommelier re-evaluation route is here!!]
[Sommelier, you’re amazing!! The dots have connected into a line!!]
Hm? While I was doting on Kanon, I noticed the gaze from the viewers in the waiting queue.
Oops, sorry for making you wait, everyone.
I handed Anon and Kanoa to Kanon as she left her seat, and asked Ai to come over.
”Uh, everyone, I think you already know, but let me use this happy occasion to report again. I’m happy to announce that Ai and I are expecting a child!!” I said.
I placed my palm over the back of Ai’s hand, gently wrapping my fingers around hers and squeezing.
”Thank you, Ai,” I said.
”Th-Thank you, too. Um, for working so hard on various things…” Ai replied.
Ai turned bright red, perhaps remembering the acts that led to this.
To increase the chances of conception even a little bit, I did knock and release deep inside many times after all.
Just remembering it made me feel a bit of a twitching reaction.
[Lewd.]
[Sensei…?]
[Sensei-chan, please give us the details of those things in your novel.]
[Mary: Is this the stream where the erotic novelist White Liquid Love-sensei is appearing?]
[↑ Mary-sama LOL]
[Hmph, Sensei, you’re naughty!!]
[As expected of our Hakuryuu-sensei!!]
[Hakuryuu-sensei, can we expect a lot from the next volume!?]
Seeing the comment section, Ai covered her face, which was red all the way to her ears, with both hands.
Haha, it was Ai’s own self-destruct so it can’t be helped, but I should probably help her out since she looks pitiful.
”Ahem! Anyway, since it’s her first pregnancy, Ai probably has a lot of anxieties, but I intend to support her. So, please everyone, watch over her warmly,” I said.
At my words, the comment section regained its calm.
Even if I say so myself, the good thing about my fans is that while they have high energy, they know how to maintain proper moderation.
”Since we’re here, want to have one last kiss?” I asked.
”Eh!?” Ai cried.
I pecked the cheek of the surprised Ai.
Kisses are definitely best when they’re a surprise.
[Ho-ho!]
[Hakuryuu-sensei, you’re the one becoming the heroine!!]
[↑ That’s it!!]
[I’m just glad Hakuryuu-sensei seems to be loved!!]
[Sensei… be happy!!]
Kotono arrived to take Ai’s place.
[Nee-san is here!]
[Nee-san has gotten quite big!!]
[Is it almost time!?]
[Come to think of it, isn’t she already on leave from work?]
[Is Nee-san’s delivery coming!?]
I don’t really know why, but Kotono is incredibly popular in the comment section.
I locked eyes with Kotono for a brief moment, then turned my gaze to everyone on the other side of the camera.
”Well, the conclusion is that the expected delivery date is December 14th. In other words, one week from now. I’ll probably report again once the baby is born, but I’d appreciate it if you could watch over this as well,” I said.
Dr. Tamamo said delivery dates can shift, but for some reason, I feel like the child I have with Kotono will be born exactly on the scheduled day.
[Uwoooooooooooooooooo!]
[Nee-san’s delivery is finally here!]
[You did it, Nee-san!!]
[Hearing that Nee-san is finally giving birth, I can’t see because of the tears!!]
[RamenHagetoru: Nee-san, thank you for your service!! Once your service ‘over there’ is finished, your night service will be waiting. Hehehe!]
[Sommelier: Nee-san, if anything happens, I’ll rip my own stomach open with a scalpel, so let’s both be prepared!! ← Honestly, I’m scared!!]
[↑ You guys need to get scolded w]
[Good news: Hagetoru and Sommelier immediately get carried away.]
[Maiden’s Etiquette: Hagetoru seriously needs a scolding. I understand Sommelier’s fear. I was normally scared too.]
[Honestly, since I’ve never been pregnant, I’ve heard even natural childbirth is painful and it’s scary. It makes you want to say jokes just to distract yourself. Though I won’t say who, a certain someone’s delivery is close too.]
[Sommelier: By the way, if something happens, can a scalpel actually cut through my stomach? That’s my biggest concern…]
[↑ Ah.]
[The Scalpel: “Ah!”]
[If you stab a scalpel into Sommelier’s stomach, the scalpel might break.]
[That’s the concern!? LOL]
[As expected of Sommelier, his worries are on a different dimension LMAO]
I stared straight into Kotono’s eyes.
”Kotono, you might be scared, but if anything happens, I’ll be by your side,” I said.
”Aqua-san… yes!” Kotono replied.
I gave Kotono a tight hug.
Wait! You there, Kohina-senpai!! Don’t say things like ‘Weren’t you just playing baseball in the back when Kanon gave birth last time’!!
The microphone picks all of that up.
[LOL LMAO]
[Let’s play amateur baseball next time too!!]
[No, it’s soccer this time!!]
[That Kohina Yukari was also playing amateur baseball though!!]
[Today’s ‘look who’s talking’ case.]
[I recall that everyone except experienced mothers and medical staff was considered ‘out of the lineup’ w]
[Weren’t you also on the side that got kicked out of the hospital room!! It’s already leaked because Reporter Hagetoru from the Seibaku Newspaper³ published the ‘out of the lineup’ list from back then!!]
Regaining my composure, I stroked Kotono’s head and kissed her forehead.
”Kotono, sorry. I can’t be much help,” I said.
”No. Just that feeling alone makes me happy enough. So, Aqua-san, please focus on the Okinawa live concert,” Kotono replied.
That’s right. Right between my birthday and the delivery, there’s BERYL’s national tour Okinawa live.
At first, I thought about shifting the schedule, but due to Kotono’s strong wish, we all decided to go ahead with the live on that day.
If it deviates from the scheduled date, there’s a chance I won’t be able to be present for the birth.
That’s why, to make sure I definitely make it in time for Kotono’s delivery, I made a request to Prime Minister Habu.
”It’s okay. If anything happens, I’ll return on a chartered latest-model supersonic fighter jet,” I said.
”Fufu, thank you,” Kotono replied.
In an unarmed state, it can return at Mach 3.2, so the calculation is that it takes about 30 minutes to get from the Okinawa concert venue to the hospital in Tokyo.
I’ve already obtained permission to parachute down to the hospital, so I won’t even have to land at the airport or get caught in traffic.
Prime Minister Habu said a normal person would faint, but if it’s just me and her, there’s no problem.
[Supersonic fighter jet LMAO]
[Is this a new apology case for Prime Minister Habu? Using military assets for private use.]
[↑ Hey, isn’t it partly as thanks to Aqua-kun for getting him caught up in that plane crash incident recently?]
[↑ I see, there was a proper reason like that.]
[Aqua-sama and BERYL do national work, and Aqua-sama especially is doing a lot of sperm provision for diplomatic deals with foreign countries.]
[↑ I see.]
[Since Aqua-tan has brought in more national benefits than can ever be repaid, it’s natural for the country to move.]
[↑ Certainly!!]
As Kotono left my side, I called Kaede next.
”So, yeah. I think it’s almost time for Kaede too. But for some reason, whenever Kaede uses an ultrasound, the machine errors out. According to a veteran midwife, there’s almost no doubt she’s pregnant, but we don’t even know the expected delivery date or the gender yet. For now, the talk is that she’ll probably give birth around next month,” I said.
The two of us, Kaede and I, turned troubled faces toward the camera.
Really, I wonder why. Mysterious things happen in this world.
[The Hoge-lar Wave⁴ is coming out.]
[I’d be anxious about giving birth then!!]
[I think Nee-san will be fine regardless. Just being ‘Nee-san’ gives a mysterious sense of security. But I’m really worried about you.]
[OnidzukaKyoko: Listen, Morikawa. No matter what happens, just stay calm!! In case of an emergency, don’t panic, don’t run, and leave everything to the people around you!! It’s okay, the people around Morikawa are all more reliable than Morikawa!!]
[↑ Exactly!!]
[Onidzuka-paisen’s position has already moved past ‘boss’ to being Morikawa’s older sister or mama w]
[↑ Totally w]
[The fact that she’s indirectly saying younger Kanon-sama or Aqua-kun are more reliable.]
[RamenHagetoru: ↑ For that matter, even Fran-chan or Haa-chan are more reliable.]
[↑ Totally w]
I gently pulled the anxious-looking Kaede close.
”It’s okay. Since it’s our child, I’m sure it’ll be born full of energy. Even if it’s not, we just have to use our power to make it healthy,” I said.
”Yeah! You’re right!! I feel like it’ll just pop out normally like ‘spawn’!!” Kaede exclaimed.
No, ‘spawn’ is probably bad.
That expression isn’t for childbirth, it’s completely for poop.
I told Kaede that being energetic is good, but let’s keep it in moderation.
[As usual, there’s nothing but anxiety, but well, it’ll be fine.]
[It’s Morikawa, so it’s fine.]
[Somehow I feel like Morikawa’s child will be sturdy.]
[↑ I get that.]
[I’m sure it won’t even flinch at a little thing.]
[Somehow Morikawa’s belly size looks the same as Nee-san’s.]
[↑ It looks like a super healthy child will be born.]
Well, I guess that’s about it?
There shouldn’t have been anything else I had to report.
Emily is still more than three months away, and I haven’t heard pregnancy reports from Yui, Victoria-sama, Maron-san, or Agewa-san yet.
As I was thinking that, someone sat down next to me.
[T-Toa-chan!?]
[Is Toa-chan pregnant!?]
[Wh-whaaa!?]
[Jingle-jingle-jingle!!]
[Hey, national broadcaster, don’t put out breaking news ahead of time!]
[The medicine factory is going to explode!]
Toa burst out laughing as she looked at the stream’s comment section.
”Everyone, it seems like you’re misunderstanding something, but today is Aqua’s birthday, right? Here, this. I made a birthday cake for Aqua,” Toa said.
Eh? Really!?
When I looked where Toa was pointing, Tenga-senpai and Shintaro, dressed as Santa, were carrying a massive cake together.
”Wait, you two, today isn’t Christmas!! It’s only the 7th, so it’s my birthday, not Christmas!!” I cried.
Ah, Tenga-senpai, please don’t make that face like you genuinely thought it was. Geez!!
Shintaro, you’re laughing, but you knew and deliberately kept quiet to Tenga-senpai, didn’t you!!
Ugh, I actually like that slightly mischievous side of yours!!
[The wedding cake is here!!]
[Congratulations on your marriage!!]
[At this size, it’s not some trivial thing like a Christmas or birthday cake. No matter how you look at it, it’s a wedding cake!!]
[Emily-sama normally bringing out a cake knife is hilarious w]
[↑ As expected of Emily-sama, she’s as thoughtful as a certain Hagetoru!!]
It really is a huge cake.
Eh? Everyone cooperated to make it so we could all eat it together!?
Are you serious? I’m so happy.
I stood up from the sofa and went in front of the large birthday cake.
”Just once, I wanted to try eating a giant cake on my birthday while being celebrated by a lot of people!!” I said.
That dream is coming true right now.
As I stood before the cake, feeling deeply moved, Toa, who acted as the executive producer of the cake, smiled happily.
”Really? I’m glad. After it was finished, I thought it might actually be too big,” Toa said.
”No, no, there’s absolutely nothing bad about it being too big,” I replied.
As I was being moved, Shintaro and Tenga-senpai began inserting 17 candles into the cake and lighting them.
Wait, 17 candles for a cake this size is way too few!!
[The bad balance is just funny w]
[This indescribable feeling of the candles.]
[With a cake this big, you’d need about 300 candles to balance it out w]
[It’s normally amazing. Because it’s normally amazing, the small number of candles stands out w]
[Aqua-kun, it’s great you could eat a big cake.]
[RamenHagetoru: Kanon-sama! Now is the time for the cake ‘niutou’!!]
[Shirogane Kanon: ↑ Idiot! As if I’d do that!!]
[Kanon-sama, hurry!!]
[Kanon-sama’s cake ‘niutou’ for real!?]
[You guys LMAO]
When the room turned dark, I could hear everyone’s song celebrating my birthday.
Alright, I’m going to blow out all the candle flames at once with my ‘Power Breath’!!
”You, you’re not thinking of something stupid like ‘Power Breath’, are you? It’ll be a disaster if the cake topples, so breathe out slowly with a ‘foo’,” Kohina-senpai said.
Why can Kohina-senpai read what I’m thinking…
Eh? Kaede did it before and it became a disaster? Ah, I see, it was already experienced.
Everyone laughs upon hearing that. As expected of Kaede. She makes everyone smile in an instant.
That’s why I’ve come to really like Kaede.
I fixed my breathing once more and raised my hand.
”Alright, I’m blowing them out!” I cried.
When I blew out the candle flames, the room brightened along with everyone’s voices saying ‘Happy Birthday’.
”Everyone, thank you so much for today!!” I said.
I thanked my family, my friends, and the fans who came to watch the stream.
Ah, I really think it’s good that I reincarnated into this world.
And so, I too crossed today and became a little more of an adult.

Summary:
Aqua celebrates his 17th birthday with a celebratory livestream from the Shirogane Kingdom. During the stream, he introduces his family and gives updates on his pregnant partners: Ai, Kotono, and Kaede. The chat remains chaotic as usual, with fans teasing the idol about his ‘papa-katsu’ and upcoming deliveries. The celebration concludes with a massive collaborative cake and a heartfelt moment of gratitude for his new life.
—
Character Insight:
Aqua’s growth is highlighted by his shift from an idol seeking fame to a patriarch focused on legacy. His survival of the plane crash has solidified a ‘fatherly’ protective instinct, manifesting in his resolve to train for longevity. Meanwhile, Kanon shows her adaptability as a ‘First Wife,’ managing her public ‘Lady Mode’ while privately asserting her desire for intimacy through the ‘papa-katsu’ joke.
—
Behind the Scene:
The author notes that since Aqua has reached 17, the final chapter of the series is approaching, likely starting in about six months of in-universe time after Emily gives birth. The ‘supersonic fighter jet’ mentioned is a nod to the protagonist’s extreme influence and his ties to the Prime Minister.
