Volume 4 Chapter 8 If You Try, You Can Do It
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”This must be the view of the dungeon’s fifth floor…”
Looking up, Tifi lets out a sigh of admiration.
The sunlight piercing through the water surface shimmered on the waves.
”I’ve heard about it, but this truly is a fantastical sight.”
She slowly scans our surroundings, muttering to herself in a serious tone.
We’re soaking in an outdoor hot spring at a love hotel facility right now.
And we’re gazing at the scenery of the dungeon’s fifth floor, ‘The Undersea Shadow’.
It looks like we’re outside, but we’re actually in a subspace created by the skill ‘Love Hotel’.
Monsters can’t get in, and they can’t even sense us here.
It’s a safe space.
Yet, we can enjoy the scenery as if we were outdoors.
The sandy ground stretches across the seabed, colorful corals, and the rippling water surface above us.
Schools of small fish flit around, their scales reflecting light, sparkling.
In the distance, we can even see the silhouette of a giant fish swimming leisurely.
I wanted to show Tifi this fantastical view, so I invited her to the outdoor hot spring.
She smiles as she dips her shoulders into the hot water.
”This is such a luxury, being able to enjoy the dungeon’s view safely.”
She smiles in the steam, her expression calm and somehow cheerful.
Luxury, it might just be that.
This is a place that only the top adventurers, risking their lives, would normally get to see.
”Tifi’s been so busy lately. It’s nice to have some relaxation like this once in a while.”
I say quietly, sinking into the hot water.
Thanks to the heroes, the guild staff member has had a string of busy days.
”Yes, I’m happy to be able to relax like this with Mr. Tarou.”
She says, then gently closes her eyes.
The hot spring is filled with a serene silence.
The only sound is the faint noise of the waves.
I close my eyes too, enjoying a moment of rest.
In that silence, Tifi speaks up, her words weaving through the air.
”Mr. Tarou”
”Hm?”
”We’re going to seriously explore the fifth floor next, right?”
”Yeah, that’s the plan.”
”…Please don’t do anything reckless.”
Her sunset-colored eyes are locked on me.
”I think I know how strong Taro and the others are. But the dungeon is a scarier place than that. So… please don’t push yourself too hard.”
At those words, I chuckled softly.
”Are you worried about me?”
”Of course. For me, the most important thing is that Taro comes back safe.”
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, maybe from the hot water.
I hesitated for a moment, then nodded quietly.
”Got it. I’ll be careful.”
”…That’s a promise, okay?”
She smiled gently and moved closer to me.
”Yeah.”
I answered calmly while naturally wrapping my arm around her shoulder.
A soft kiss.
Our tongues tangled together as I enjoyed Tifi’s ample breasts.
”Maybe we should get out soon.”
”Yes…”
After getting out of the bath, the flushed Tifi looked seductive.
I invited her to bed.
But──
”I’m sorry. It’s just that, lately I’ve been feeling a bit off.”
She gently refused me.
Recently, she hasn’t been very open to it.
She teases with her chest and mouth.
But she won’t let me go all the way.
It turns out I get led toward Lifia and Kéa.
Here she was, who had happily accepted me inside her since our first time.
Tifi pulled away and looked down apologetically.
There’s no way she could be losing interest in me.
I hope that’s not the case…
”Did you catch a cold?”
”No, it’s not that bad, but I feel heavy. I’ve got a bit of nausea…”
Is she not feeling well?
Now that I think about it, Tifi seems a bit off these past few days.
I thought it was just work stress.
Suddenly, I remembered.
The love hotel menu had a feature to check the health status of people inside.
If it’s some weird sickness, that would be a problem.
I should check Tifi’s status.
With that thought, I started to operate the menu…
”Huh?”
Lifia smoothly approached Tifi.
Without hesitation, she bent down and brought her ear close to Tifi’s stomach.
”Lif-Lif?”
”What’s wrong?”
Me and Tifi stare at weird Lifia doing strange stuff.
Then, Lifia blinks small and mutters softly.
”…I hear, the voice.”
”Huh?”
”From Ms. Tifi’s belly.”
”No way…”
Tifi gasps and slowly puts her hand on her tummy.
I just stare at the Love Hotel menu screen, keeping my finger still.
What shows up there is──
――――――――――――――――
Tifi (Human)
Status: Healthy, pregnant (4 weeks in), Dad: Aisuku Taro

――――――――――――――――
My heart skips a beat for a second.
Tifi is pregnant.
Obviously, I’m the dad.
”Really, in my belly…?”
Tifi gently touches her belly, softly strokes with her fingertips.
The way she does it feels like she’s trying to check if something unbelievable is real.
The look in her eyes shows feelings mixed with happiness and worry.
”Mr. Taro’s, baby…”
Her voice trembles just a little.
”Ahh.”
The moment she nods briefly, a tear slips from her eyes.
”Tifi…”
I slowly reach out my arms and hug her.
Her body softly shivers, but I can feel her heartbeat through her chest.
”Thanks, Tifi.”
My voice naturally gets warmer.
Feels deep and real.
My chest warms up gently inside.
”Mr. Taro…”
”Thanks for carrying my baby.”
”Yes!”
Tifi’s tears shine, but she still smiles.
My kid is inside Tifi’s tiny stomach.
We loved, we made love many times, and from that, life started.
Now, I’m a dad now, huh.
Still, it doesn’t really feel real.
It’s like stepping into a strange new world──funny feeling, really.
”Congratulations, Ms. Tifi!”
Lifia’s face brightens up quick, she squeezes Tifi’s hand tight.
Her bright eyes are full of pure joy.
”Master’s baby, so, so happy, yay!”
Her eyes get misty, but she beams with a bright smile.
Her honest emotions hit me deep, bringing warmth to my chest.
”B-but, can I really be a mom…?”
Tifi, still unsure, gently rubs her belly with a confused look.
Lifia smiles softly at her.
”It’s okay, Ms. Tifi, you will definitely be a wonderful mother.”
”Y-yes, you can! If it’s Elder Sister, then it will be alright!”
Seeing Lifia and Kéa blessing us like this, I finally start to feel it too.
Tifi is carrying my child.
That fact slowly seeps into my heart.
”Thank you, Lifia, Kéa.”
When I say that, Lifia beams with joy, and Kéa shyly rubs her nose.
”Let’s protect this child together.”
As I say that, Tifi wipes her tears and smiles softly.
It looked like she was starting to feel like a mother little by little.
”Is it okay if I…?”
