People fear fame, pigs fear being fat, and my wife and I are the same. After our journey through the entire Southern Plains, not only Night Fall Town, but almost all humans and monsters knew about our human-Medusa couple.

Rumors about us spread like wildfire, becoming more and more bizarre.

At first, the focus of everyone's discussion was on me, saying that Raul was a brave and mentally unstable person. Later on, they started describing me as a mysterious figure. Especially after the incidents involving casualties, with some embellishments, I became a warrior even stronger than Cleveray.

Later on, rumors about my wife also started circulating among the monsters, saying that she was a chosen Medusa, not only with extraordinary combat abilities but also married to a human.

The main reason for these rumors was that Leya and Wolfrang didn't openly admit their confrontation with the Forging Roses squad. The black market traders discovered the bodies of the Forging Roses squad and looted them before burying them. They did a good job, as any adventurer team that leaves the kingdom is like Schrödinger's cat, no one knows if they are dead or alive, they can only wait.

According to the kingdom's rules, there is a set algorithm. Before adventurers leave the city, they have to report their destination, number of people, equipment, and other parameters. Each registered team is given a time limit, and if they haven't returned within that time, the border guards will search for them. If the search is unsuccessful, they are declared missing. After one year, they are declared dead if they haven't returned.

The Forging Roses squad had a large number of members, strong abilities, good equipment, and a relatively long time limit. So even if they didn't return for a month, the kingdom would still be at ease. But I forgot one thing, that is, Forging Roses had royal authorization.

How could someone as talented in magic as Melissa not have any connection with the Magic Council?

At that time, I didn't think about these things carefully. I was too busy taking care of my pregnant wife every day.

I went to Park to get back the modified glasses. Genius exists in any era or world, and Park is someone who can be called a genius.

The glasses were made into two single-lens types, with a taste similar to that of Kaito Kid, but more like a high-tech device that can measure the opponent's combat power, which is only five. The legs and frames of the glasses were replaced with a sturdy and reliable black iron material. They looked cool and were very comfortable to wear. My glasses were already quite unique, and they became even more unique after being split in half.

"Is it okay?"

"Yeah, I'm quite satisfied."

"Hehe, your glasses are really well-crafted. For this part, I dare say it's difficult for the entire kingdom to make."

Park was referring to the nose pad, where there were extremely small screws.

"In the future, you will be able to make them too."

"Raul, you're too kind. Oh, by the way, this is what I promised you before."

"What did you promise me?"

"Didn't you say you wanted a second gun?"

It was a silver revolver, with the same structure and style as mine. The silver material was beautiful and accurately reflected the sunlight into my only remaining eye. I did indeed tell Park that I needed a second gun, and he really made one for me, using a new material.

"Park, is there anything special about the material of this gun?"

"If you want to say it's special, it's just that it looks pretty."

"Hmph, I thought there was some magic attached to it."

"Forget it, do you see any humans in our town who can use magic?"

"You're right, then I'll take it."

"By the way, Raul, everyone is starting to call you the second Cleveray."

"I know."

"Haha, you don't seem to like being placed with high expectations."

"Park, do you know that I never wanted to conflict with adventurers?"

"But you still did."

"I wanted to change the kingdom's attitude towards monsters, but I didn't have the opportunity."

If I were given a chance to debate with the Magic Council, perhaps I could really make most humans accept monsters. But in reality, the reason why the Magic Council wanted to establish an image of "monsters are all man-eating creatures" was to maintain national unity and make the citizens believe that the mages, as rulers, were not using magic to oppress them, but rather using magic to fight against monsters and protect them. This kind of national form could be called magical oligarchy, huh.

When I got home, my wife was reading a book.

"I brought back my glasses, put them on and read."

"Hmm..."

"What are you reading? So engrossed?"

"This book says that there are humans who can use magic to change the weather. Amazing!"

"Really? Let me see."

Changing the weather? Hey, isn't that a bit far-fetched? Burning newspapers at the grave to deceive ghosts?

"Look, this book says that there was a human named Leningston Muli who used magic to change a month-long sunny weather and brought rain."

"Wife, I realized that whenever you tell a story, it becomes twisted."

Without even reading it, I know that the story should be about a great magician who used magic to bring rain and stop a month-long drought, benefiting the people. But when my wife tells it, it sounds like the magician intentionally ruined a month-long sunny weather.

And the name Leningston Muli, it sounds like a mussel. Why not call him a clam?

The main melody of the kingdom's magic stories has too many loopholes, too lazy to read.

"Husband, do you think there could be someone who can make it rain every day?"

"Alright, if someone is really that powerful, we wouldn't have survived till now."

"But what if there is?"

"What if? If there is, then we'll invite them to eat bullets."

Jokes aside, although the stories of the kingdom are full of legends, they usually have a factual basis. What is the difference between legend and rumor? Personally, I think a legend must be something unprecedented and must have a shocking effect, while a rumor is insignificant and trivial. The story of the "clam" magician who brought rain is a legend.

But legends are not necessarily true. I walked to the entrance of the cave to smoke and briefly pondered the possibility of a magician changing the weather. I immediately dismissed it. Firstly, magic is divided into two types according to its laws: those that act on the object itself and those that act outside the object. To bring a heavy rain, at least a large cumulonimbus cloud needs to be conjured in a clear sky, which is basically impossible.

However, speaking of cumulonimbus clouds, there might be a way.

I looked up at the sky. Although the afternoon sun was abundant, the clouds had scattered into fish scale shapes, possibly due to the passage of cold air. Based on the current temperature, there is a chance of rain tomorrow. Of course, I am not a meteorological expert, this is just based on experience.

"Wife, it's going to rain tomorrow, do you believe me?"

"Huh? It's going to rain tomorrow? How do you know?"

"I can change the weather even without magic~"

"I don't believe it."

"Then wait until tomorrow."

"What if it doesn't rain?"

"If it doesn't rain, then consider it nonsense. Anyway, you don't like rain."

"If it does rain, I'll make you go out and get wet."

My wife playfully hit me. The biggest difference between the two of us is that I like rain, while she doesn't.

Now my wife's figure has finally changed a bit. She has to eat at least half a rabbit every day, without exercising, her arms have become muscular. According to my aunt, Medusa's vigilance and physique will increase during pregnancy, but this enhancement is a bit too scary. In another month, my wife will almost become a muscular woman.

As for the eggs in her belly, I can feel them through her tail, they are hard. I don't know how big the eggs in her belly will become in the future, but I know that I will definitely spend more time smiling at our unborn daughter.

The first pair of Medusa and a human giving birth to a child, this will become a legend, not a rumor.

I'm going to be called "Dad" by a little Medusa...

It feels strange, very strange, but I like it.

In this world, the first priority is longevity and good health. This saying needs to be changed a bit - the six blessings of the human world, having a child comes first~

We are just one step away from the life we want. In a few months, the three of us will leave the southern plains and no longer be bothered by various matters. We have exchanged so much blood for a peaceful future, isn't it too much? Although I will miss Wolfrang and the others, it is ultimately difficult to win the war against the kingdom. The people of Night Fall Town will probably flee with their gold coins due to casualties, and other monster tribes will either die in battle or live a nomadic life. My wife and I are just leaving a step ahead, and the so-called negotiations are just a way to buy time.

Let our story become a legend, my Medusa wife and I.

I slept peacefully that night, and indeed the bed was the most comfortable.

......

The next day, I was awakened by my wife's pounding.

"Look, look!" she exclaimed.

"Ah, stop hitting me, it hurts!" I rubbed my eyes and sat up, my waist almost broken by her blows.

"See for yourself!" My wife pointed outside the hole.

It was really raining, and the sound of the rain on the eaves was telling me, "When the sky is covered with fish scales, it will rain and the wind will blow," a proverb that was indeed true.

"It's just raining..."

"It's all your fault for what you said yesterday."

"I was just casually saying... Do you really want me to go out and get wet in the rain?"

"Yes, go."

"Fine, I'll go. Since my wife has spoken, how can I not go?"

I was about to go out bare-chested, but she pulled me back.

"If I tell you to go, then go. Are you stupid?"

"Hehe."

I crawled back into bed with her. We, this couple, were called the "brave couple" who feared no monsters or magicians, and now we were hiding in a cave under a sheet to avoid a shower.

"Why don't you like the rain?"

"Because it floods the house."

"Don't we already have a roof? It won't make everything wet anymore."

"Well... I still don't like the rain. It always feels wet and cold."

The main reason Medusa doesn't like the rain is that the rain in spring and autumn is cold when it falls on her. Even in summer, when it's not cold, they instinctively dislike the rain. Even though our home can now shelter us from wind and rain, for Medusa, rainy days are still a lingering "demon" of habitual thinking. Just hearing the sound of rain naturally reminds her of the bone-chilling autumn rain.

I patiently explained to my wife the benefits of rain, such as the fresh air after the rain and the crops at the doorstep needing the nourishment of rainwater, but she still looked outside, unwilling to let the rain linger in the air for even half a second.

"When... will the rain stop?"

My wife asked me softly, her tone calm.

I have played very few Galgames, only the "Autumn Memories" series. My wife's words reminded me of the note written to Tomoya in the game, with the same question, when will the rain stop?

Perhaps Sasa only hoped for the rain to stop soon, but I interpreted it as a much more complicated emotion. For us, the rain hasn't stopped since we set out on this journey. It may never stop in the future.

If I had to choose between making a sunny weather doll or making an umbrella, I would definitely choose to make an umbrella.

Because a sunny weather doll can only make us hide and pray for good weather, but an umbrella can withstand the rain and move forward.
