Chapter 512 – Fluffy Pregnancies

*** Alzi, Main Body, A few years have passed ***

Yuki just gave birth!

All the floofs have empty wombs. I kept messing it up. Mai or Calli would bully Eterna enough to wake up next to me, and one thing would lead to another. But not this time, even Mai and Calli are clear and ready for me to fill.

Kou still thinks her metal belt will keep me from adding her to the pile. But she really doesn't understand just what I am these days. It's so much fun in Rosymary's clinic.

I'm not getting any Skills these days, but I'm still getting much better at healing, which is good because Rosemary is making up for lost time when it comes to baby-making. I do use a lot of mana these days, so I'm happy to solve two problems at once, but that does mean I have more time alone in the clinic.

But I also don't have much time in the clinic to begin with. I try, but as with Rosemary, I can't stop creating new life. It's probably something to do with the Goddesses calling me Life more and more whenever I visit. Even my Goddess kids prefer Life over Mommy, Mother, Mom, or Alzi. However, they always make sure to say Mother or Father enough that I don't worry about them hating me.

But I'm packing a lot of healing into those few short hours. A true giver of life.

Elo is a mess. And Zarzi just went through another brood because we need more kids or something, but she's doing fine.

I shouldn't say that. I'm about to welcome a bunch more kids myself, and I have a plan to make a lot more right now. But I still have too many kids. I love them all, but I'm drowning, and I'm happy with all the life.

It's a hard life.

But on to my plan, since I'm already neck-deep in kids. Kou is the last part of the plan. Calli will just slide into the bed, Mai will roll her eyes, but her tail will tell me she's in. Nanoka is trying to prove she's bold, Yuki will do anything that will get her in my bed, and Nakuma will join her. I just need to get Kou ready for her first batch.

For that, I need to remove some metal without her thinking a single thing about what I'm doing.

"Kou," I say. "How are you still too busy to have a kid?"

"Don't you have enough kids, My Empress?" Kou says, looking for her way out.

"No, I've told you I'm turning into the Goddess of Life. How could I not want more life in the world?" I say. I walk up to her, making sure to cut her off from the doors. She ran away from me the last time I tried this. I didn't have all the girls ready then, so I let it go. But she won't escape this time. "Just a few? Aurora, Shyla, and everyone else know how to run the nursery. So you can have a little break and have fun with your Grandma. Have a few kids of your own."

"You're learning, My Empress," Kou says.

"Of course, I'm becoming a Goddess, and you're relentless with my studies," I say. "You always find time to force me to learn something."

"I'm happy that I've been helping you, My Empress," Kou says.

"Tell me, Kou, honestly, without any 'My Empress' stuff. Do you want a kid?" I ask. I don't need to force women to have kids, but I know she wants one.

"Eventually," Kou says.

"Why not now?" I ask.

"I'm busy," Kou says, getting trapped in the corner.

"You're my maid," I say. "I can give you a break if you wish for one. Do you want a break so that you can have some kids?"

"You want to try again, My Empress?" Kou asks, trying to keep eye contact with me. But I can see the slight blush forming on her cheeks. "Are you sure about this?"

"Calli is on her way up," I whisper. "I don't want to disappoint her. Mai is as well. Will my hard-working maid join us? Without you, none of this would've worked out. This house isn't a breeding ground of child neglect because of your efforts. Let me give you the best reward I can give. Life from the budding Goddess of Life."

"Very well, My Empress," Kou says. "Thank you."

"Something is still bothering you," I say. "Calli is a kind girl, but if you need some privacy, we can have that."

"I'm going to be pregnant and in the same bed as royals," Kou says. "Yuki and Nanoka. I'm not a royal."

"Calli isn't anyone special by blood. Mai is the same. Mommy as well. But they're special to me. You only have a single black line on your tails. Don't be silly. Yuki? You think Yuki is some high and mighty person right now? She's a broken mess that I almost feel sorry for. Nanoka is nice, but she's still nothing special. She just has some silly Goddess trying to make sure their people are powerful. Don't get caught up in that stuff. You're the reason my Empire is so powerful. You run the Empress's world. Don't forget that. Ah, here's Calli and Mai. NANOKA!"

Four down.

"Hello, everyone," I say. "Kou has finally agreed to join the pile, so I'm moving forward with plan fluff. Is everyone ready?"

"Yes, dear," Mai says. "Be kind to your wives and maids."

"Of course," I say. "Someone needs to get Yuki here."

"I'll handle that," Nanoka says. "You aren't going to forget about your deal regarding my daughter, are you?"

"No. I doubt she'll join our bed, but I have a foolproof plan to get her pregnant," I say. Shyla and Aurora have really expanded in their role of powering people up. Kiyomi will easily allow me to impregnate her in her own pond for a session with those two.

"Then I guess we have to go through with this," Nanoka says.

"Oh, don't be like that," I say. "You want this just as much as I do. Kitsune hinted that you've seen what picture her tails make."

"You drive a hard bargain these days, dear," Nanoka says. "Well, here come the troublemakers."

"Kids?"

"No," Nanoka says.

Yuki is in tears when she appears on the bed, with Nakuma cradling Yuki in her arms, humming some song.

"I see," I say. "Yuki, ready for more kids? You'll be in my bed for this pregnancy, with the group you see here."

"Alzi, please. I- I can't take this. I love you. I love you so much. It hurts. I was wrong. I just want to shower you in love. I don't care about anything else. I need you. I NEED YOU. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please..."

"Yuki," I say. "My feelings are starting to change, if I'm being honest, but it's not enough yet. I'm happy you still love me, but we aren't there yet. Take this pregnancy to show me some changes. I still don't trust you."

"I'll be a good girl. I love you. I'll be good. Please. I need a break," Yuki cries out.

"This will be a break," I say. "Your mother is happy with all the kids you've brought into the world." And I don't really need to be the realm's husband anymore. They still have fewer men being born than in the other realms, but it's enough that the women can easily share the men and have kids without me being involved. "Then, everyone agrees? Nakuma? Will you be joining Yuki?"

I think Nakuma still doesn't understand what being pregnant means. She just brushes it off and works like she's not even pregnant, running around and caring for Yuki as diligently as always. She's a real trooper.

If I ever completely forgive Yuki, or put it behind me, I'll have to test what happens when Nakuma is pregnant while Yuki doesn't need her help.

Something to test in a few decades.

"I'll be with Yuki," Nakuma says.

As expected. "Ok, then, who should I start with?" I say, turning to the suddenly shy head maid.

No, I shouldn't be that mean.

"Nanoka, we'll start with the older beauty," I say. Kou can go second.

...

This bed of fluff is perfect. So warm, and soft, and I can spend all day brushing tails and still never run out of them.

Perfect.

But I have to fulfill my deal with Nanoka before I get lost in all the fluff.

...

Aurora and Shyla are rarely pregnant these days. Shyla's practically working two jobs: building my wardrobe, and helping her Mother as a teacher.

"We're going to have sex, with Queen Kiyomi, in a pond?" Aurora asks.

"Yes," I say. "I almost did this a while ago, but I went for Yuki instead. This time, I have to do it for Nanoka. She finds it funny."

"Well, if Nanoka finds it funny," Shyla says. "Is she really going to go for it?"

"With you two coming along, she won't have a choice," I say. "Sleeping with a future Goddess and gaining extra power? She doesn't stand a chance."

Nanoka was more than happy to teleport us all to the Palace, even sending us right to Kiyomi's garden. The Queen isn't even getting a warning about her impending pregnancy.

"Hello, Kiyomi," I say, moving into her garden. "Sorry for barging in, but your Mother wanted me to offer you something, and it was urgent."

"Oh, and what could that be?" Kiyomi asks.

"Granddaughters for your Mother," I say. "She feels strange having a bunch of new kids but no new granddaughters. I know what you're likely thinking. 'We don't need more royals,' or something like that. But I know you like power, so I brought my helpers along with me. We just need to choose a venue."

Kiyomi stops trimming a flower and slowly turns to face me with a small frown.

Did I come on too strong?

"I was wondering when you would try that again," Kiyomi says. "I wouldn't mind having more daughters. But I do wonder how far you will push this."

"Your eldest is getting close to you in power, right?" I ask. Tanatsu gave up on the throne. Aya kind of loves having kids, so they're too busy to aim for the throne, but she does keep herself up-to-date on the power struggle. "I have two concubines who would love to give you a boost."

"Are you about to say, 'the more kids, the better the boost?'" Kiyomi asks, looking between the mother-daughter pair.

"Well, they are working for the future Goddess of Life," I say.

"No more than five kids," Kiyomi says. "Otherwise, this has to happen in a bedroom. I should've known this would happen. I knew Mother still carried a small grudge for me taking her throne sooner than she wanted."

"I don't know what you're talking about," I say. "Ready to get wet?" I'm glad she remembers how it almost happened. That makes it easier.

"You can tell nobody about this," Kiyomi says. "And don't dare to ask me to do this again after this. I would rather lose the throne than have this become a common occurrence."

"Of course," I say.

Shyla gets to work, stripping me, and Aurora helps Kiyomi. We can't completely disrespect her, after all. I do live in her realm.

I move into the small pond first. The water is a bit cold, so I don't think Kiyomi will have to worry about me asking her to do this again anyway. It really isn't a good place to have sex.

Kiyomi is stunning, as all the Queens are. Her bundle of tails sways behind her as her brain tries to work out if joining me is really worth it.

"You're already in there," Kiyomi sighs. An illusion moves in first, but I keep staring at Kiyomi. "I know, but I can feel the temperature of the water this way. I want to be prepared. I'm not stupid enough to think you can't see life that is standing two feet away from you."

"Good," I say. "Now get in. You'll get used to it, or I'll be heating the water. Probably both."

Shyla and Aurora jump in next, and Kiyomi submits, sliding in as gracefully as she can. Her fluffy tails lose their volume as they're submerged in the water. I wrap her up, give her a small kiss, and get to work quickly. I think we all want out of this.

Nanoka tricked more than just her Mother with this little plan, so it's a good thing I put a few extra in her womb.
