IF Route Final: Chapter 13: Chain of Hope

"Uhmm……"

The thud of the rocking ground woke me up from my slumber.

When I open my eyes slightly, I can see the back of a horse and a well-maintained road.

My right shoulder was touching my husband's left shoulder...it seemed like I was asleep.

"Sorry. Did I wake you?"

My husband spoke with a worried look on his face... I felt a sense of relief when I heard Trust's words.

So I replied with a shy smile.

"I'm fine. Um... how are you feeling now?"

...Since then, Trust and I have been traveling.

So that you can love this world, as Trust says.

On top of that, we find the titles of Hero and Saint to be a hindrance, so we travel with our face hidden.

Fortunately, the Hero and Saint are said to have gone missing after the battle with the Demon King.

Rumors of us being dead or watching over the people can be heard in heroic tales sung by bards.

The people who had fought with us to the end were looking for us, and when we had a chance to meet and talk, they understood what we were going to do, and before we knew it, rumors were spreading.

I'm sure they were very accommodating in many ways.

Anyway, we're on a journey.

And so the state of the world becomes clear.

It seems that peace will not come just because the Demon King has been defeated, as there are still many people in trouble in this world.

We traveled freely to various places, helping people like that and defeating monsters and thieves.

Both Trust and I are fairly well-known, so we wear disguises to hide our true identities.

Well, we travel around the country with their cargo in a wagon, so basically we are a traveling merchant and his wife.

All we sell are materials from monsters we have defeated, and on our way from town to town we buy a few items that we think we can sell in the next town, so we are a little different from a professional merchant.

One thing that has changed about me is that I now wear a nun's outfit.

I owe God so much that I could never repay him in my lifetime.

I was so grateful to him for helping me even though I had done so many wrong things.

So it's not exactly a sign of faith, but it does feel like a declaration of some kind of will.

Of course, I wear other clothes if Trust buys them for me, so it varies a bit from time to time.

Moreover, despite being a Saint, I frequently has sex with Trust.

I don't think it's a problem because God is tolerant of such things, but it happens quite often.

It's not like I've attained enlightenment to the point where I can stop the throbbing of my body.

To begin with, I love Trust, so it's only natural that I would feel that way if I lived with him.

A lot of things happened that ended up making my body that lewd.

Trust also wants my body, but we're married so there's nothing I can do about it.　

I fell asleep a lot yesterday too...what was the reason I fell asleep yesterday?

No, recently Trust has been carefully casting healing magic on me after we've had sex, so fatigue shouldn't be the cause.

"We'll arrive in about three hours."

Three hours...that was a weird time.

Of course, there are no cars in this world, so you can't go that fast.

Even horses can't run for hours on end.

Besides, I don't mind traveling slowly like this.

In fact, I began to like it.

"...Maybe it's time to put a stop to our journey and decide on a place to live."

Trust said absentmindedly.

I felt a sense of empathy for those words.

I think anyone would understand if they saw my belly.

I have a slender body but a swollen belly... you can tell what it is at a glance.

Well, to put it bluntly, I am pregnant.

"I'm sorry for asking too much."

Even though he has been cumming inside me so many times up until now, is it because the battle is over that I'm only now become pregnant?

You see, this world was originally an erotic game.

When we talk about pregnancy in erotic games, it usually involves the character being pregnant or having a child in the post-ending narration.

So that's why no matter how much they inseminated her in the story, she never got pregnant.

This may also be God's unseen arrangement.

Anyway, like any other normal heroines who are ready to be exposed to the world, I got pregnant after everything was over.

"No, that's fine."

Regardless, many people will preach to Trust that pregnant women should not travel, but it was me who forced him to do so.

When Trust found out I was pregnant, he said he wanted to stop traveling and stay where we were.

But I asked him to continue this journey.

What can I say, I had a great time traveling with Trust.

The feeling of learning things you didn't know.

Various landscapes from various places.

Eating delicious food and learning how to make it.

I wanted to see more of those things.

"...Do you still hate this world?"

Looking at Trust's profile, he seemed a little hesitant to say anything, and had a confused look on his face.

I hate this world, huh?

I hate this world and only love Trust.

The feelings I swore to myself then were genuine, and even now I don't want to say that I love this world.

But…….

"I'm a troublesome and stubborn person, so I'll be honest, but I still can't say I like it."

"I see..."

"But I don't hate it anymore."

I can't say I like this world.

It was simply impossible to show only kindness to this world that had hurt those I loved and forced him to fight to the end.

But after traveling with Trust, I realized that it wasn't all bad.

"Besides... I don't want my unborn child to be shown those kinds of feelings."

It still feels unreal that I, a former man, am giving birth to a child with my own body.

Of course, since my belly has grown this much, I think I understand to some extent.

I have nothing but good feelings toward my child, who will be born to my beloved husband, whom I love so much.

That's why I think it's wrong to teach my children about negative emotions.

I know it's selfish, but I want my children to be born with hope.

Well, that's a conclusion I came to after being with Trust.

"I see."

Trust muttered, "I see," with a hint of relief.

I'm sure he's been worried about me up until now.

That feeling makes me very happy and warms my heart.

"If we were to live somewhere else, would you try locking me up again?"

"No, that's..."

I don't mean to be sarcastic, but even Trust is in trouble.

Well, from Trust's perspective, those days are probably a dark history.

He imprisons a girl, rises up as a Hero together with her, defeats the Demon King, and then travels around hiding his identity.

Do you feel like you never know what's going to happen in life?

I feel the same way.

After cracking my soul through a cuckold game, I am brutally murdered due to a misunderstanding.

After meeting God, I come to another world in the form of a girl and is imprisoned.

But, well... looking back on it now, I think it was a good thing.

"Oh, I had fun. Didn't you, Trust-sama?"

"...I understand how you feel a little, but you can't accept something like that."

Trust admonishes me with a subtle expression.

As always, he's serious, just like the Hero.

It shows how cornered such a serious company like Trust was at that time.

However, since I am an evil saint who corrupts heroes, I will continue to say corrupt things.

"So, let's use this tonight."

With a mischievous look on my face, I takes out a certain object and shows it to Trust.

"Ugh... you still have that?"

It was handcuffs and shackles.

I brought back the one that was lying around and covered in dust the day the battle ended.

It's a keepsake after all.

...I feel like handcuffs are a bit weird as a keepsake though.

By the way, the keys have already been retrieved.

"How can I put handcuffs and leg irons on my pregnant wife?"

Imagine it.

I was pregnant and looked like a young wife, wearing handcuffs and leg irons.

Yeah, that smells extremely criminal.

"But isn't that a good thing, Trust-sama?"

"..."

Trust seemed dumbfounded and fell silent.

Well, I was just kidding.

I know he would probably say no to have sex with a pregnant woman in the first place, but I'm also careful about my stomach.

Yesterday I came so many times just from being caressed.

But in return, I serve him with my hands and mouth.

"...Once a child is born, you have to hide that kind of thing as much as possible, right, Trust-sama?"

"Of course."

Or rather, is he thought that he is not that modest?

I mean, I never thought I'd hear something like that from the guy who kidnapped, imprisoned and trained me.

...It's fine though.

Oh, that's right.

"Yay!"

I impulsively put into action what I thought of.

I put one handcuff around Trust's wrist.

"No... what does this mean?"

Trust is confused by my actions.

I guess that's only natural.

However, I put the other handcuff on my own hand.

The handcuffs attached to it reflect the sunlight, making them look like an accessory.

"Now we're physically connected."

When I said that, Trust gave a subtle smile that seemed both pleased and amazed.

Well, we have a good enough relationship to be able to joke around like this.

"Filia"

"What is it?"

Suddenly, he said my name with a serious look.

So naturally I ask back.

"Is Filia happy now?"

Happy, huh?

You probably already know without me having to tell you again.

Come to think of it, I've heard that if you put your ideas into words, they will come true.

However, it has already been realized...

That's right. Then, express your current feelings honestly.

"I'm so happy to have met you and to be alive."

When I spoke according to the feelings in my heart, a smile naturally appeared on my face.

Maybe this is what happiness is.

"Are you happy, Trust-sama?"

I repeated what I already knew.

I came here to make Trust happy, but now I'm the one who's happier.

I thought that was strange, and more than anything, I wanted to hear it for myself.

I'm happy that we can talk like this.

"Yeah, I'm—"

The world that I saw was shining brightly.

The painful and sad times are over.

From now on, the baby in my womb and the people of the future will walk this path.

I would be happy if I could make a living by helping people like that.

...That's what I thought as I listened to Trust's words
