460,

"Below Cyclone‧Theodore's room... the leader of the Wind Knights, Sonja, is discussing something with associates of the heretics."

"Hey, hey... this..."

Upon discovering the new movements of the heretics, Eumerika couldn't hold back anymore.

But Godeo continued to ignore Eumerika, saying,

"And..."

"And..."

Alexander swallowed nervously, while Godeo nodded and continued,

"Besides the heretics, in the room below Sophiel... judging from the combination of magical energy distribution, it should be a special unit of the City of Dusk, the Twilight Assassins..."

"..."

Alexander couldn't bear to watch anymore, covering his eyes with one hand.

"Not only that..."

"..."

"And it seems, underneath us, a group of nuns has arrived, numbering five."

"Hey, hey, hey! Old man! Can you explain what's going on?!"

Faced with the unexpected developments, Alexander chose to remain silent, while Eumerika already picked up her weapon.

"Sorry, but this is an emergency situation!"

Finally, Alexander made a decision.

But at that moment, Godeo suddenly interrupted Alexander's resolve.

"B-Big brother, that... Marcina just... might have already noticed the magical net I released for sensing..."

"I-Is Marcina that cute little sister?!"

Franc suddenly became spirited, eyes shining, while Eumerika unhesitatingly stepped on Franc's foot.

"Hey!"

Eumerika leaped up, stepping on the dining table.

Under Eumerika's glare, Alexander began to look solemnly at the three.

"I'll explain the details later, but for now, you need to understand the purpose of this mission."

Alexander took a deep breath.

"Remember, avoid any possible opportunity for conflict, focus on protecting Cyclone‧Theodore, and let him contact Marcina."

Five hours ago, Alexander never imagined that this unprecedented crisis would unfold so quickly.

On the other side, five hours ago, right after the master left, Cyclone also never expected things to escalate this way.

Five hours ago, the master left, and the night's work ceased.

The master did not introduce his intermediary to Cyclone, probably not wanting Cyclone to continue living that dangerous life, but legitimately studying medicine with a certain doctor.

However, compared to the activities lost at night, Cyclone was more worried about something else.

Cyclone's novice-like diagnostic skills couldn't pinpoint the cause of Elyse's discomfort.

To minimize Elyse's chances of going out in public, Cyclone had to call for an elderly doctor he knew from the end of the street for a home visit.

"How is it, Doctor Uncle?"

"..."

The doctor uncle looked grave because the woman in front of him was not sick.

"This madam is not suffering from any serious illness."

"Really?! She was feeling nauseous and about to vomit just before you arrived, right?"

"No, no, no."

The old doctor shook his head and said softly.

"Sir, you shouldn't worry too much. You should actually be happy."

"What?!"

"Madam is expecting."

"..."

In an instant, Cyclone was dumbfounded.

The three cunning wives, who sensed trouble beforehand, had already hidden in the room to eavesdrop. But upon hearing the news, they were so shocked that they pushed the door down and ended up on the floor before Doctor Uncle.

From top to bottom, the Cyclone family was at a loss at this sudden news.

"D-Doctor... are you saying..."

"You're going to be a dad!"

As Elyse happily pointed out the key point to Cyclone, she smiled brightly.

"What the... I'm going to be a father?!"

On that day, Cyclone bid farewell to one person, only to welcome another.

Looking at Elyse's hardly noticeable belly, Cyclone swallowed nervously and gently touched it.

"Is TinyCyclone really in there?"

Doctor Uncle nodded.

With that nod, Cyclone Theodore's home finally welcomed a presence other than his wife's.
