“Well, if you want to do that, then go ahead. Anyway, I’m fine right now, so please let go of my hand.”
Ordel tried to pull her hand away, but Rute sobbed and gripped it even tighter.
“Why? When a wife is struggling with childbirth, what’s a husband supposed to do if he can’t even hold her hand?”
“No, I understand that feeling. But if I accidentally squeeze too hard, your hand will break.”
Though Rute also possessed divine power, Ordel was someone who held the divine power of all Three Sovereign Gods.
If she made a mistake, it wouldn’t just break—his bones could be crushed to fragments.
“I’m fine, so squeeze as hard as you want. You’re giving birth to our child—what’s one broken hand of mine?”
“What are you talking about? I need my hands to be intact to take care of the baby.”
Ordel pulled her hand away with a serious expression.
The real pain starts after giving birth to the child—what would she do if her hand was broken?
No matter how much divine power she had, if the bones were completely shattered, it would take some time to recover.
In the end, Rute had no choice but to grip the blanket instead of Ordel’s hand with a dejected face.
“Ahem, Holy Maiden, it seems the child will be born soon.”
Just then, the Novice Priestess who had been examining the condition inside her belly with divine power interjected.
Indeed, her lower abdomen began to feel even heavier.
If she hadn’t had divine power, even she, who was accustomed to pain, would have screamed.
Ordel once again gave thanks to Jin, who had led her to this fantasy world.
“Take small deep breaths and push slowly.”
“Hee, hee, hoo. Hee, hee, hoo.”
She practiced the Lamaze breathing technique she had learned on Earth while gripping the blanket tightly.
【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ bites down on a handkerchief, cheering you on.】
【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ hits ‘Light of Perseverance and Faith’ on the back of the head, saying instead of doing that, send divine power so the Holy Maiden doesn’t get hurt.】
【’Raging Sea’ yells at the two foolish gods to concentrate.】
【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ protests that this god is not foolish and is diligently sending divine power.】
‘So noisy! I should have turned off the message notifications before giving birth!’
Whether from anger, strength naturally entered her entire body.
The moment the blanket tore and her fingers dug into the bed with a crunch.
“The baby is out!”
“Waaaaah!”
Along with the moved Novice Priestess’s exclamation, the vigorous crying of a newborn baby could be heard.
“Huk, heouk!”
Ordel breathed heavily.
Her head was too hot, and she felt like all the energy had drained from her body.
It felt like her soul had left along with giving birth to the child.
Her energy was so drained that she couldn’t move a single finger.
“Ah, honey, Ordel, Del. Ah, you really worked so hard.”
Rute embraced Ordel and kissed her forehead and cheeks, which were still flushed with exertion.
It was a very careful kiss, worried that Ordel, who was breathing heavily, might be in pain.
Plop, plop.
At the sensation touching her cheek, Ordel let out a hollow laugh.
Though she was too drained to see properly, she could tell just by feeling now.
“Yes, cry today.”
It’s natural to shed tears of gratitude since I went through the hardship of giving birth to your child.
“You worked hard, Holy Maiden.”
The Novice Priestess, who had cut the child’s umbilical cord and wrapped him in cloth, approached with an overwhelmed face.
“It’s a son.”
The Novice Priestess handed the child to Rute instead of Ordel, who couldn’t move.
The moment she struggled to lift her head and saw the child Rute was holding.
“…?”
Instead of overwhelming joy and happiness, Ordel was greatly confused.
“Is this really the child I just gave birth to…?”
Being wrinkled like a sweet potato as befitting a newborn baby was one thing.
“Why is he so big…?”
Usually people say they’re too small and scary to touch, like they might break.
This one looked like he might open his eyes any moment and shout “Mama!”
Is this really a newborn who was just born?
Did I give birth to such a huge baby?
“Is my body intact right now…?”
Shouldn’t I have been split in half for this to be normal?
“Really, truly, very fortunately, you are perfectly fine.”
The Novice Priestess, who seemed to have had the same thought, nodded while shedding tears.
The mystery of the human body is truly amazing.
“Rute, you really need to be good to your mother.”
It was only thanks to the help of divine power—how did Trisha, who didn’t even have that, manage to give birth to Rute and Grace?
Just imagining it was quite dizzying.
“Yes, yes, I understand. And I’ll be good to you too. You really worked so hard. Thank you. I love you, Del.”
Rute carefully embraced Ordel along with their son, tears streaming down his face.
【’Light of Perseverance and Faith’ sets off fireworks with a bright face!】
It was the moment when the first son of Ordel and Rute, who would rule the world in the future, was born.

The people who had been praying to the gods while waiting for the Holy Maiden’s childbirth were greatly relieved to hear that the child was born safely.
It was truly a great blessing that both the Holy Maiden and the child were healthy.
However, before the child’s name could spread throughout the Grand Temple, people witnessed a shocking sight.
“Good heavens…”
Airic, who had been anxiously praying for the safety of the Holy Maiden and child with Seth in front of the Sun God statue in the main hall of the Grand Temple, let out a gasp.
Tremendous light was emanating from the statue.
Light as strong as when Idella awakened, no, even stronger, colored the entire Grand Temple.
This meant one thing.
“Could it be that the baby awakened divine power immediately upon birth…?”
Though he had seen the light of awakening hundreds of times since entering the Sun God’s Main Temple.
He had never once seen a newborn baby awaken.
No matter how young, they were at least ten years old.
“We expected that the child of both the Holy Maiden and the Holy Sage, who both possess divine power, would be extraordinary, but this…”
Seth, who was with him, was equally surprised.
Both High Priest Airic and Seth, High Priest, were special enough that their awakenings were recorded in history.
However, what was happening now was tremendous beyond comparison to when they awakened.
“It seems the next Holy Sage has already been decided.”
Airic let out an incredulous laugh.
Honestly, it wasn’t that he hadn’t expected it, but he didn’t think the child would awaken immediately upon birth.
“The next Holy Sage has been born, and my successor already exists, so now we just need a candidate for Holy Knight Captain to appear.”
“Indeed. I’m curious what kind of person it will be.”
Seth also smiled back and looked at the Sun God statue that was still emitting strong light.
His blue eyes softened gently.
“Is the Holy Knight Captain who will succeed me and protect the Sun God’s Main Temple already born and living somewhere, or are they still preparing to appear in this world?”
Holy Maiden Ordel.
High Priest Airic.
Seth, High Priest.
Though the three are called the most powerful generation in the history of the Sun God’s Main Temple.
Who knows? The next generation might have even stronger individuals.
No, he was certain that would be the case.
Seth also wanted to meet a disciple soon to whom he could pass on everything he possessed.
“That’s fortunate. I’m confident that the Sun God’s Main Temple will be eternal even after our generation ends.”
“Ah, there was a time when I couldn’t sleep at night, worried that I might have to close the doors of the Grand Temple with my own hands.”
Airic sighed and shook his head back and forth.
That time was truly agonizing, and painful as if the night without sun would continue forever.
But now.
“Now we can put our minds at ease. Both myself and the Holy Knight Captain.”
“Yes.”
Since the Sun God has recovered all his power, now all they need to do is expand the Grand Temple further and safely pass it on to future generations.
So that tragedies like those of the past will never happen again.
* * *
“Can you see? Can you see?”
“No, I still can’t see. Can’t you stick your head out a bit more?”
“Then we might get caught.”
Monica, Idella, and Jeremy turned their heads this way and that, trying somehow to see inside the room through the slightly open door.
However, the gap in the door was too narrow, and what they were trying to see was too small, so no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t see it.
