In both my previous and present lives, I love winter.

I like eating hot food and drinking hot drinks.

I like warm rooms and I also like going to convenience stores in the cold.

I like the clear skies, the dry air, the feeling of longing for people, and the many events that take place in winter.

And now, a piece of news that will make me like winter even more has come.

Laura-san is pregnant.

「Laura-san, you have to wear more clothes when you want to get some fresh air.」

「I’m wearing enough. The room is warm even if the wind blows a little.」

「Is that so?」

「I have high body temperature and I’m strong so I’ll be fine.」

「I guess so….is there anything you’d like to eat?」

「Oi oi, my stomach hasn’t even grown bigger yet. I’m happy that you want to take care of me but I can do everything myself. Don’t worry too much.」

She says that as she sits in her easy chair in front of the fireplace but I know that early pregnancy can be scary in many ways.

I saw it in dramas in my previous life.

I explained to her in her third month of pregnancy and got her promise to take a break from work during winter.

It would be a disaster if she slipped and fell.

「Master, this is not something that men should be so impatient of.」

「But Mion」

「Her giving birth is still way too long so please just take it easy and do your job.」

When she said so with a sharp eye, I immediately calmed down.

As expected of Grandma Mion. She’s someone who even helped when Laura-san was born so her integrity is on a different level.

Though she would be more convincing if Torf is not coiled up on her head.

Torf is clinging on her head and even stretches its wings from time to time.

What a pretty leisure guy but, I don’t think it would be a good idea to let it on her head especially when a visitor suddenly comes….

When someone visits, I’ll lock it up in a room.

「How about your father?」

「He’s still reluctant but I’ll try to persuade him.」

「Is that so….」

It seems like naming noble’s children is not a matter of convenience but a practice.

It is one of those unwritten rules of ethics.

The first born’s name is often decided by the parents of the one with a higher noble rank.

In our case, I’m a former commoner so it should be Laura-san’s parents but she has been disowned so it would be my parents.

Thus, my father is reluctant to name our child.

He says he’s only a commoner and is afraid that it’s improper but in reality, he’s just still scared of Laura-san.

Well, it’s still a long time before she gives birth.

There is still time. I’ll slowly and surely convince him.

I pat Laura’s still-unchanged belly and close the window to keep the cold wind from entering.

The dry wind definitely smelled of winter.

Just because things are going well at home, it doesn’t mean that things are also going well at work.

A lot has happened to me recently.

First of all, I submitted a light report on the ego of my family’s magic construct bicorn, and asked for opinions from the place where constructs are deployed.

The response was dramatic.

『The magic construct flying dragon of our team reacts when they are called with their names recently. They remembered their names!』

『The magic construct unicorn doesn’t like to be touched by men, is this strange?』

『My superior is jealous because the golden wolf magic construct sneaks into my bed every night.』

『The gorilla magic construct is popular with the girls of the bar which makes everyone troubled. Please do something about it.』

Various information came up.

It seems like everyone did not even think that magic constructs suddenly having egos is weird.

According to my point of view, an artificial object having an ego is something great but unexpectedly, it is something that people don’t really care about.

AI, singularity, and similar things would cause a lot of fuss in my former world so I’m taking it seriously in case the worse happens.

Well, even if the worst happens, if they don’t have magic crystals, it will stop.

The bigger problem is that some individuals have come to remember their names, especially in those places where they were only deployed for only a year or so.

My three-year ego theory from the bicorn magic construct immediately collapsed.

This matter still needs further investigation and research.

After all, magic construct is very deep….
