[AN: Bonus Chapter 4/5]
Kana and Creige appeared in her house in the Rural Kingdom. "It feels like I haven't been back in many, many years." Kana said as she looked around the room. The whole room seemed to have been kept completely clean.
"Miss Kana, your back!" A voice came from the door. Kana and Creige turned to see a maid standing there with a cleaning cart.
"Mmm… It's been a while. How are things here?" Kana asked.
"Things are well. Miss Jill was sent to the Academy to learn, and Miss Ceilie has been back for some time now. She is out in the garden with Miss Nergal." The maid replied.
"Big Sister is back!?" Kana's eyes lit up as she grabbed Creige's hand and ran out of the room. As she passed by the maid, she gave her thanks before running off.
The maid's eyes locked on to the bump on Kana's stomach, making her cover her mouth and shock. "Miss Kana is pregnant!"
Word quickly spread within the mansion before Kana even made it to the garden. It was quite amazing how quickly all the staff in the house were able to hear about this before Kana even said a word. As Kana ran by, she could hear people yelling at her to be careful. But she didn't put much thought into why this was.
When she reached the garden, she could see two cat girls cuddling next to the manmade pond under a tree. "Big Sister!!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ceilie looked over to see Kana running towards her with her handsome husband in tow. Nergal also turned to look at who was calling out to her wife, only to feel fear well up inside her. Deep in the recess of her heart, both Creige and Kana had wormed their way into the spot that controls her fear making her fear these two the most. Right next to them was Camlia. She instinctively shrunk into Ceilie's embrace. But as she did, she remembered the parting words Kana had given her, which made her push her fear back down.
"Kana!" Ceilie called out with a smile until her eyes lowered on the plump stomach, and anger rose up within her. "What the hell are you doing running around like an idiot when you're pregnant!?" Ceilie suddenly jumped up and tossed Nergal aside, and began screaming and yelling at Kana.
Kana, who was smiling away, suddenly lowered her head like a little girl as she let Ceilie scold her. "Big Sister, but..."
"No buts! And you!" Ceilie turned and pointed her finger at Creige. "You are letting her run around!?"
"I would catch her if she fell." Criege said without an ounce of emotion. He never showed emotion to anyone but Kana.
Ceilie could only let out a sigh. 'This man spoils her too much!' She reached out and pulled Kana into a hug. "Have you seen a doctor yet?"
"No, we just returned. We planned to do it later." Kana replied, rubbing her belly. Kana's eyes landed on Ceilie's hand. "Seems like I am not the only one who has something to tell."
"Ah, this..." Ceilie blushed and looked at Nergal, who was dusting herself off, looking at Ceilie with an aggrieved expression. "Mmm… Nergal finally talked me into it. After watching Sei and Yuthia getting married, I thought long and hard about it, and over the past few years, Nergal has always been by my side, keeping me safe and caring only about me. She showed me so much love I kinda ended up falling in love with her as well."
Nergal's ears perked up as she quickly arrived at Ceilie's side, her eyes staring at Ceilie in disbelief. "Say it again!"
"Hmm, did I say something?" Ceilie played dumb and smiled cheekily.
"No fair, how can you say it to Kana, but you won't say it to me!? Do you know how long I have been waiting!?" Nergal pouted. She always wanted Ceilie to say those three words to her!
"Nergal, are you an idiot? Why would I marry you if I didn't love you? Geeze. Anyway! We have a lot to celebrate over!" Ceilie turned to Kana and touched Kana's stomach. "Go see a doctor right away. I want to know today."
"Okay, we will go. We will have a feast tonight." Kana was happy to be home. After saying goodbye to Ceilie and Nergal, Kana and Creige went to the Castle to see Claine.
As soon as she walked through the door, she was hugged tightly by a tanuki girl. "Kana!"
"Huh!? Tilia!?" Kana knew it was tilia by her smell, but her looks were completely changed! But her shock didn't last long as she disappeared from Tilia's embrace and was rubbing her face all over Tilia's new fluffy tail.
Tilia did not know whether to laugh or cry as she stood there helplessly while Kana fluffed her tail. She knew this might happen, she just never expected Kana to go right to as soon as she saw it.
"Ahem… Miss Kana, I see you have returned." Claine scratched his head, unsure of what to say at the scene in front of him. He wasn't sure if Kana was taking advantage of his daughter or not.
"Ahh! Sorry! I couldn't help myself." Kana said, but she still did not stop her fluffing.
"Kana." Creige finally stepped in. He knew if this continued, they would be here all day. He did not want Kana to lose track of what she was doing.
"Alright, I will stop." Kana stood up and turned to Claine, giving him a slight bow. "I have come to request to have your doctor examine me. I need to know if I am pregnant or not."
Claine looked at Kana in shock for a moment, his gaze going to her stomach, and nodded his head. "Someone, call Old Tu here. He is in charge of checking on the royal consorts."
"Kana, can I touch your stomach?" Tilia asked nervously.
"Mmm… Go ahead. Although this may just be gas." Kana said. At this, Claine, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost choked as he spat the mouth full he had just taken in back out. Looking at Kana's stomach, there was no way it was just gas!
