A year has passed since Hikaru and Licht were born in the blink of an eye.
Although there were some troubles, our peaceful and happy life continued, and Licht was able to create a guild tag as he turned one year old.
As for Hikaru, although he got to a good point where his information is on the verge of being inscribed on the tag, since we still can’t communicate with him about how to stabilize his magic power, it might take a little more time.
Licht, a legendary black lion, who has me, a person from another world, as mother and Douglas-san, the king’s brother, as father.
It’s not hard to imagine how difficult the path he will walk in the future.
And yet, the tag information showed that Licht is an animus.
It seemed that the animus of the lion tribe was so rare that there was no record of its existence in the past several hundred years.
Its existence is said to be rare even compared to Rickham-sama, a rare animus from the bear tribe.
Whether Licht being an animus will have a positive or negative impact on his life remains to be seen, but being so different from others will certainly have some impact on the path he takes.

“Chika, you’re thinking about something difficult again, aren’t you? I know pretty much what you’re thinking, but that’s something we can’t do anything about, right? It’s something that Licht will overcome, and all we have to do is watch over him and help him.”
“That’s right. I heard that my mother also went through some hardships, but in the end, he always says that those are now good memories and that he’s happy now, so that’s all that matters.”
The words that Douglas-san and Gail-san spoke to me made my heart, which had been troubled getting an answer, feel at ease as if it was a lie earlier.
These two always kindly and sweetly give me what I’m looking for.
Fortunately, Licht’s ability aptitude was excellent.
He inherited all of my intelligence and magic powers, as well as Douglas-san’s high physical ability.
Even the guild staff were amazed and said they looked forward to the future.
With his high magic power, he would have no problem conceiving a child as an animus someday.

That, too, was a relief for me.
When Licht turned one year old, he was able to transform into his human form.
Licht, in his human form, I think was about the size of a 2-year-old child?
I didn’t have any experience raising children before now, so I don’t know the details.
However, his soft black hair was a little curly, and his brown eyes tended to droop a little. Even though he was still a toddler, I felt like he resembled Douglas-san.
I thought he would stay in his human form, but he didn’t seem comfortable with it and soon reverted to his original beast form.
Licht was also a beastman who could turn into his beast form.
I felt that he might have to get used to living in his human form, but Douglas-san said we should let him do whatever he wanted, so I guessed it was okay.
Come to think of it, I was wondering what the child’s family name, or last name, would be, but the tag only stated “Licht”.

Now that I’ve heard about how this world works, it seems that if only one of the parents has a family name, it is automatically passed on to the child, but if both parents have a family name like we do… It seems that the child can choose at will.
Also, in the case of companions, if one without a family name and one with a family name become spouses, the person without a family name can decide whether to inherit the family name.
And, if an animus without a family name becomes a companion with multiple anima who do have family names, the animus will either remain without a family name or inherit the family name from one of the anima, at the animus’ discretion.
Mintz-san fits this pattern, as he has not inherited the family name from either Glenn-san or Paris-san.
If we both have family names, we can either inherit one of our family names or choose the so-called separate last names for married couples, which is what we’re doing for now.
By the way, as a result of that night, Gail-san’s child is growing safely in my womb.
For some reason, this time my belly was only slightly swollen, even though it was already less than a month before the birth.
As usual, my magic power hadn’t diminished, and I was still able to use healing magic without any problems.
Also, Mintz-san recently gave birth to his second child.
His child with Paris-san is a rabbit, he inherited Paris-san’s amber eyes and Mintz-san’s pink-blonde hair color, so the child of those two will definitely be a beauty.

His name is Mils.
The environment surrounding me has changed dramatically due to the presence of children, but that is not the only thing that has changed significantly over the past year.
First, Albert-sama decided to introduce compulsory education for the residents of the royal capital on a trial basis.

It seemed that the story I told Mintz-san was conveyed to Albert-sama, who then asked for a detailed explanation.
As a result, the first step was making five years of education available to all citizens from age 10.
I’m sure there are many things to consider, such as costs and the difficulty of attending school due to family circumstances, but there are experts who have much better ideas than I do about this.
If this goes well, Albert-sama said that he would like to establish schools to teach specialized skills to give children who have graduated at the age of 15, who until now have chosen careers by training in various guilds or helping out in the family business, the opportunity to select a wide range of occupations.
Of course, I asked for the establishment of a training school for doctors/physicians, but I also requested that a training school for nurses be established as soon as possible.
In this world where the concept of hospitalization does not exist, there is no such profession as a nurse. Although it took some explaining, I managed to get them to understand that this was the same as the system where the temple priests take care of those who are without relatives and are nearing the end of their lives.

However, it seemed that the environment wasn’t good, and I wanted those people to acquire specialized knowledge.
To begin with, the presence of nurses is essential in medical settings such as surgeries.
There is also the aspect of being an assistant in surgery, but while we doctors treat illnesses and injuries, nurses examine all aspects of the patient. Of course, we doctors also have to try to do the same, but our skills are no match for the nurses.
If the transition from healing magic-based approach to surgical approach is to be made, the presence of nurses who can follow up on the subsequent steps of hospitalization and treatment will be indispensable.
I don’t know how much I can convey the unique skills and spirit of nurses. Still, my experience of giving lectures at the university’s faculty of nursing and being squeezed by many strong chief nurses may come in handy.
Also, the lectures on medical knowledge are still continuing.
Since all the people who came here voluntarily, their excellence is outstanding, and their apprehension is astonishingly fast.
I felt like in another year or two, there would be nothing left for me to teach.
In fact, this knowledge is increasingly being applied to healing magic, and it is now possible to cure more complex and invisible diseases using healing magic.
However, it seems that the more severe the symptoms and the more complex the disease, the more discomfort caused by healing techniques will occur to the point that it becomes unbearable, and some people even refuse to undergo the treatment.
Every day, I am reminded of the need to make surgical procedures practicable as soon as possible.
However, preparations for this are progressing steadily.
Most of them were brought to Leonidas by races other than beastmen who heard rumors about me.
The dwarves who originally lived in large numbers in Leonidas have taken an extraordinary interest in the existence of surgical tools, medical instruments, and biocompatible materials that I taught. It is said that even dwarves living in seclusion deep in the mountains have heard the rumors and are now flocking to the capital.
When I told them the intended use, the shape, and meaning, they interpreted it accurately and created something wonderful.
Some dwarves are interested in medicine, and others are immersed in research to create various metals and materials by learning biophysics and polymer science-related knowledge under my guidance.
The elves are doing an excellent job of providing the anesthesia, blood transfusions, and essential drugs for the surgery.
It seems that the new knowledge I brought to elves, who are highly intelligent by nature, have a strong thirst for knowledge, and devote their lives to research and learning, satiated their desire for knowledge to the fullest.
The elves commonly live in Wolfair, but among them, over 100 elves have been sent from their respective tribes to come to Leonidas, ranging from the elders who have lived for hundreds of years and are said to be living guides to the young with promising futures.
Many others have come individually.
Elves who are skilled in medicine and magical handling have developed anesthetics and various other drugs that are commonly used in modern times, in response to my requests.
Of course, magic is applied in the process and wasn’t purely by the power of science, but I think it’s fine since that’s how it is in this world.
In a world where magic power is needed to have a child, it is unlikely that magic power will ever disappear from this world since it is inseparable from life.
I thought that if I had anesthesia, I wouldn’t have to worry about the discomfort, but it seems that the discomfort caused by magic is beyond human comprehension and cannot be prevented with anesthesia.
General anesthesia may alleviate some of the symptoms to some extent, but it cannot be applied to all diseases. Since the purpose of this reform is to enable anyone to practice medicine as a physician and provide treatment, rather than relying on a few people who are competent in healing techniques, it would be a last resort.
Regarding blood transfusions, my research began with the question of whether human blood in this world could be classified into the blood types that I knew.
I was worried about what would happen to me and my children if it was different, but those fears turned out to be unfounded and we were able to classify them in the same category.
Apparently, they collected hundreds of different types of blood from various races and crossed them one by one using magic power to find out what properties each of them possessed, but I couldn’t understand the details of how they did it.
However, it will take time to spread the concept of blood donation, and it will also take time to develop technology to test for pathogens contained in the blood itself.
Besides, it is necessary to develop technology and drugs to preserve them.
For a while, we decided to use the healing technique for hematopoiesis from the patient’s own blood, which we had taken beforehand.
The original hematopoietic organ is the bone marrow. Unlike the promotion of blood-forming within the body, I was not sure this would work, but hematopoiesis was successfully achieved by working on blood cell and plasma components using healing techniques.
If it is not possible to collect the blood in advance, the only option would be to directly perform hematopoiesis using the healing magic, which may cause some discomfort.
And this was the biggest problem of all, the numerous tests for definitive diagnosis that are commonplace in modern times.
Ultrasound tests, radiation tests, cell tests, biochemical tests, blood tests, microbiological tests, etc.
I’m ashamed to admit that although I have some knowledge of the meaning and principles of those instruments, I always relied on laboratory technicians and radiologists for the actual procedures and operation of the instruments, and to be honest, I am not very good at it.

However, those are essential for making a diagnosis, and if I wanted to be greedy, I would ultimately want MRI or CT scan.
Just when I was about to give up and thought that this was indeed difficult, a helping hand arrived.
It was the fairy tribe.
These fairies are a race that loves new and fun things, and it seems that this nature is fully demonstrated in developing magic tools.
Apparently, they came to Leonidas because they heard rumors that something new and fun was happening here.
They seemed to be more interested in the machines I was talking about and the instruments used to perform the tests than the medical knowledge itself.
Of course, basic medical knowledge is required to develop these machines, so I had them attend lectures, but their skills far exceeded what I had imagined.
The first thing they created was an X-rays machine.
Well, strictly speaking, it doesn’t use X-rays, but it is what we call X-rays.
By channeling the magic power of a specific wavelength through the medium of a magic tool in a regular sequence, it is possible to create a translucent image of the human body.
I didn’t understand a word of this explanation, but what was projected on the board was unmistakably a film diagram of a finished X-ray.
I never dreamed that it would be possible to take X-rays in such a short period of time, and I was overjoyed.
Desperately tracing back my memory, I compiled a series of outlines and implications of the instruments required for various tests and had the fairy tribe take a look at them.
“You always come up with really fascinating stuff~ It was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard when you wanted to see human bones. My friends and I laughed our asses off! But it’s fun to think and create something like this, right? We’ve already received a lot of rewards from the king. We’ll try our best.”
Their reactions are always this casual, but their skills are genuine.
I am confident that this will lead to the development of one medical device after another in the near future.
I’ve already performed several surgeries for appendicitis and other diseases.
Someone other than myself can sometimes perform the surgery with the patient’s consent.
I am so happy because this will make the vision of the future that Albert-sama presented to me a reality.
I could save people in this world with the knowledge I have.
I felt like if I did that, I, too, could be accepted into this world…
***
Every day was so fulfilling, but it seemed that when I got too absorbed in something, I lost sight of my surroundings.
I was scolded by Alex-san, Mintz-san, and Paris-san to get some rest, and I ended up having to be gently lectured by my two spouses as well.
So today, I was forced to take the day off, and Gail-san also took the day off to accompany me.
I thought the two of us could just relax at home, but then I decided to take Gail-san and the kids out for a date night in the town.
I was holding Hikaru, and Licht was in his beast form, with his head slightly sticking out from Gail-san’s chest.
Apparently, his favorite thing these days was to sneak into my two companions’ clothes and expose his faces from their chests.
“Daddy Gail, and daddy Douglash, so tall, ish fun.”
He said that the view from the chests of these two tall people was fresh and interesting.
I held Gail-san’s hand and we walked around town together.
Ever since my pregnancy was discovered, Gail-san’s overprotectiveness has been at its peak all the time, but it has finally calmed down recently after being lectured by Douglas-san, who couldn’t stand and watch it happen.
He originally wanted to hold me even now…
“I feel like the baby in my stomach has grown quite a bit, but Gail-san, do you want a human or a bear?”
“Isn’t that obvious? It’s both.”
“I feel the same way, but as Mintz-san said, it depends on luck, so God only knows what will happen.”
“I poured myself so deeply into you that day. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had quadruplets or quintuplets, you know?”
My heart still fluttered every time I remembered the beastly Gail-san that day.
Thus, my face burned hot like a boiled egg.
A family of four made their way through lively markets and shopping streets.

It shouldn’t be a particularly unusual sight, but it was an incomparably happy moment for me.
We went to the recently popular restaurant and ate a delicious meal, bought clothes and snacks for the children, and I also bought Gail-san’s arms full of food ingredients.
“We’ve walked a lot. Chika, aren’t you tired?”
“Well, I’m a little tired. Should we buy a drink and rest around there for a while?”
“Yeah, let’s do that. I’ll get some sweets and some drinks. You can wait in the park over there with Hikaru. Do you want to eat something, Licht?”
“Lich wants crepes!”
“Okay, let’s go buy it together!”
“Yeay!”
Licht, whose head was sticking out from Gail-san’s chest, cheerfully raised one paw up to the sky.
I couldn’t help but smile at the cuteness of his movements.
Now, let’s not think about why the crepe shop is named after me for some reason…
There is also a cutlet sandwich shop and a rice ball shop, but I’m afraid to find out.
“Are you tired too, Hikaru?”
“Da!”
“Let’s wait for some crepes from your brother, okay?”
“Daー daー!”
I wondered if he understood a little of what I was saying, and Hikaru smiled happily in my arms.
Lately, I’ve become a little afraid of this happiness.
When I put my hand on my belly, I could feel the life inside.
As I was cradling Hikaru and waiting for Gail-san and Licht to return, a very well-built man suddenly appeared before me.
I didn’t feel his presence, just like Sebastian-san and Johan-san.
The man was staring at me with a sour look.
“Um, do you need something?”
I called out to him, bracing myself to escape at any moment.
“You must be Chikayuki, the reputed healer in town now, right?”
I found his words terribly intimidating.
“I don’t know if I have such a reputation, but I am the healer Chikayuki.”
“I see, then you’ll have to come with me.”
The moment I heard those words, I ran toward Gail-san while holding Hikaru in my arms.
However, that man was standing in front of me for some reason, as if blocking my path.
He was supposed to be in the opposite direction. Why is he here!?
I tried to find an opening to escape, but there was no opening at all…
That man’s hand reached out to me.
“Chikayuki-sama! Please step back.”
That man easily grabbed the knife that flew from behind me and threw it away.
I lost my chance to escape and was captured by a man’s strong hands.
I looked behind me and saw that it was Johan-san who threw the knife.
“Who are you! Do you realize that this person is under the protection of the Leonidas royal family!?”
Johan-san had several knives ready and was in full combat stance.
“I don’t give a shit, I really need this guy.”
“Don’t mess with me! I won’t hand over this person even if I were to lose my life.”

I couldn’t follow their movement with my eyes.
As I was held in that man’s arms, I was so busy protecting Hikaru that all I could see was the fact that the man was easily shrugging off Johan-san’s attacks one after another.
“Hmm, such a loser. Do you think you can beat me with that?”
“Wha-, you are!?”
Johan-san was blown backward by the invisible blow from the mysterious man.
“Johan-san!? Please stop it already! What on earth is your purpose!?”
“I already told you I’m here for you. We’re going now.”
“Hey, you!? Let go of Chika!!!”
I heard my reliable companion’s voice from behind me.
When I looked in the direction where I heard the voice, I saw Gail-san running towards me with his sword drawn.
“Oh God, it’s so annoying. It’s not good to stand out, but I can’t help it.”
After that man closed his eyes, light enveloped his entire body.
His size is endless…
Both of my spouses only have incomparable lumps of light compared to him.
After the light disappeared, a dragon gripped me with its large claws.
A huge dragon, whose existence I had only seen in movies and stories, was right in front of me.
More than the pain of the claws digging into my body, I was terrified by its presence.
“Chika! Stay put, I’ll save you right away!”
Regardless, Gail-san held up his sword and was about to slash at the huge dragon.
Johan-san was the one who stopped him.
“Johan-dono, what are you doing!?”
“Gail-dono, please calm down. You know well the horror of a dragon in beast form, right? Moreover, he has Chikayuki-sama in his hands.”
“But!?”
Meanwhile, the dragon holding me began to flap its wings.
Don’t tell me you are planning to fly away like this!?
A strong wind swirled heavily around us, kicking up dust in the air.
Then I remembered.
Hikaru was still in my arms.
There was no time to worry, so I made up my mind and lifted Hikaru high with one hand.
“Gail-san! Hikaru! Please catch Hikaru!!”
I apologized to Hikaru in my heart and threw him at Gail-san as hard as I could.
Gail-san was surprised by this and quickly caught Hikaru.
Ah, thank goodness….
The dragon increased its altitude while still gripping me.
From the ground, I could hear Hikaru’s slight cries and Gail-san’s mournful screams as he screamed out my name.
Why this timing…?
At least after giving birth to this child, I could have given up if it was just me…
I braced myself to protect my stomach.
The next moment I thought the dragon had regained a strong grip on me with its claws, it began to flap its wings and move at high speed through the sky.
It didn’t take long for me to lose consciousness because the pain of the claws digging into my whole body, the wind pressure and the cold made it hard for me even to breathe.

Well, strictly speaking, it doesn’t use X-rays, but it is what we call X-rays.
By channeling the magic power of a specific wavelength through the medium of a magic tool in a regular sequence, it is possible to create a translucent image of the human body.
I didn’t understand a word of this explanation, but what was projected on the board was unmistakably a film diagram of a finished X-ray.
I never dreamed that it would be possible to take X-rays in such a short period of time, and I was overjoyed.
Desperately tracing back my memory, I compiled a series of outlines and implications of the instruments required for various tests and had the fairy tribe take a look at them.
“You always come up with really fascinating stuff~ It was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard when you wanted to see human bones. My friends and I laughed our asses off! But it’s fun to think and create something like this, right? We’ve already received a lot of rewards from the king. We’ll try our best.”
Their reactions are always this casual, but their skills are genuine.
I am confident that this will lead to the development of one medical device after another in the near future.
I’ve already performed several surgeries for appendicitis and other diseases.
Someone other than myself can sometimes perform the surgery with the patient’s consent.
I am so happy because this will make the vision of the future that Albert-sama presented to me a reality.
I could save people in this world with the knowledge I have.
I felt like if I did that, I, too, could be accepted into this world…

Every day was so fulfilling, but it seemed that when I got too absorbed in something, I lost sight of my surroundings.
I was scolded by Alex-san, Mintz-san, and Paris-san to get some rest, and I ended up having to be gently lectured by my two spouses as well.
So today, I was forced to take the day off, and Gail-san also took the day off to accompany me.
I thought the two of us could just relax at home, but then I decided to take Gail-san and the kids out for a date night in the town.
I was holding Hikaru, and Licht was in his beast form, with his head slightly sticking out from Gail-san’s chest.
Apparently, his favorite thing these days was to sneak into my two companions’ clothes and expose his faces from their chests.
“Daddy Gail, and daddy Douglash, so tall, ish fun.”
He said that the view from the chests of these two tall people was fresh and interesting.
I held Gail-san’s hand and we walked around town together.
Ever since my pregnancy was discovered, Gail-san’s overprotectiveness has been at its peak all the time, but it has finally calmed down recently after being lectured by Douglas-san, who couldn’t stand and watch it happen.
He originally wanted to hold me even now…
“I feel like the baby in my stomach has grown quite a bit, but Gail-san, do you want a human or a bear?”
“Isn’t that obvious? It’s both.”
“I feel the same way, but as Mintz-san said, it depends on luck, so God only knows what will happen.”
“I poured myself so deeply into you that day. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had quadruplets or quintuplets, you know?”
My heart still fluttered every time I remembered the beastly Gail-san that day.
Thus, my face burned hot like a boiled egg.
A family of four made their way through lively markets and shopping streets.

It shouldn’t be a particularly unusual sight, but it was an incomparably happy moment for me.
We went to the recently popular restaurant and ate a delicious meal, bought clothes and snacks for the children, and I also bought Gail-san’s arms full of food ingredients.
“We’ve walked a lot. Chika, aren’t you tired?”
“Well, I’m a little tired. Should we buy a drink and rest around there for a while?”
“Yeah, let’s do that. I’ll get some sweets and some drinks. You can wait in the park over there with Hikaru. Do you want to eat something, Licht?”
“Lich wants crepes!”
“Okay, let’s go buy it together!”
“Yeay!”
Licht, whose head was sticking out from Gail-san’s chest, cheerfully raised one paw up to the sky.
I couldn’t help but smile at the cuteness of his movements.
Now, let’s not think about why the crepe shop is named after me for some reason…
There is also a cutlet sandwich shop and a rice ball shop, but I’m afraid to find out.
“Are you tired too, Hikaru?”
“Da!”
“Let’s wait for some crepes from your brother, okay?”
“Daー daー!”
I wondered if he understood a little of what I was saying, and Hikaru smiled happily in my arms.
Lately, I’ve become a little afraid of this happiness.
When I put my hand on my belly, I could feel the life inside.
As I was cradling Hikaru and waiting for Gail-san and Licht to return, a very well-built man suddenly appeared before me.
I didn’t feel his presence, just like Sebastian-san and Johan-san.
The man was staring at me with a sour look.
“Um, do you need something?”
I called out to him, bracing myself to escape at any moment.
“You must be Chikayuki, the reputed healer in town now, right?”
I found his words terribly intimidating.
“I don’t know if I have such a reputation, but I am the healer Chikayuki.”
“I see, then you’ll have to come with me.”
The moment I heard those words, I ran toward Gail-san while holding Hikaru in my arms.
However, that man was standing in front of me for some reason, as if blocking my path.
He was supposed to be in the opposite direction. Why is he here!?
I tried to find an opening to escape, but there was no opening at all…
That man’s hand reached out to me.
“Chikayuki-sama! Please step back.”
That man easily grabbed the knife that flew from behind me and threw it away.
I lost my chance to escape and was captured by a man’s strong hands.
I looked behind me and saw that it was Johan-san who threw the knife.
“Who are you! Do you realize that this person is under the protection of the Leonidas royal family!?”
Johan-san had several knives ready and was in full combat stance.
“I don’t give a shit, I really need this guy.”
“Don’t mess with me! I won’t hand over this person even if I were to lose my life.”

I couldn’t follow their movement with my eyes.
As I was held in that man’s arms, I was so busy protecting Hikaru that all I could see was the fact that the man was easily shrugging off Johan-san’s attacks one after another.
“Hmm, such a loser. Do you think you can beat me with that?”
“Wha-, you are!?”
Johan-san was blown backward by the invisible blow from the mysterious man.
“Johan-san!? Please stop it already! What on earth is your purpose!?”
“I already told you I’m here for you. We’re going now.”
“Hey, you!? Let go of Chika!!!”
I heard my reliable companion’s voice from behind me.
When I looked in the direction where I heard the voice, I saw Gail-san running towards me with his sword drawn.
“Oh God, it’s so annoying. It’s not good to stand out, but I can’t help it.”
After that man closed his eyes, light enveloped his entire body.
His size is endless…
Both of my spouses only have incomparable lumps of light compared to him.
After the light disappeared, a dragon gripped me with its large claws.
A huge dragon, whose existence I had only seen in movies and stories, was right in front of me.
More than the pain of the claws digging into my body, I was terrified by its presence.
“Chika! Stay put, I’ll save you right away!”
Regardless, Gail-san held up his sword and was about to slash at the huge dragon.
Johan-san was the one who stopped him.
“Johan-dono, what are you doing!?”
“Gail-dono, please calm down. You know well the horror of a dragon in beast form, right? Moreover, he has Chikayuki-sama in his hands.”
“But!?”
Meanwhile, the dragon holding me began to flap its wings.
Don’t tell me you are planning to fly away like this!?
A strong wind swirled heavily around us, kicking up dust in the air.
Then I remembered.
Hikaru was still in my arms.
There was no time to worry, so I made up my mind and lifted Hikaru high with one hand.
“Gail-san! Hikaru! Please catch Hikaru!!”
I apologized to Hikaru in my heart and threw him at Gail-san as hard as I could.
Gail-san was surprised by this and quickly caught Hikaru.
Ah, thank goodness….
The dragon increased its altitude while still gripping me.
From the ground, I could hear Hikaru’s slight cries and Gail-san’s mournful screams as he screamed out my name.
Why this timing…?
At least after giving birth to this child, I could have given up if it was just me…
I braced myself to protect my stomach.
The next moment I thought the dragon had regained a strong grip on me with its claws, it began to flap its wings and move at high speed through the sky.
It didn’t take long for me to lose consciousness because the pain of the claws digging into my whole body, the wind pressure and the cold made it hard for me even to breathe.
