Zongman: Many children bring happiness, starting from Nangong Nayue

"There's no reason why. It's just because they're not baby-making machines. I don't want to treat them like baby-making machines. Whether or not they have children is entirely up to their own free will."

“I don’t want to force them. I’d rather go slower than force them to do things they don’t like.”

"On the contrary, as long as I don't force them, they will join in and voluntarily give birth, just like everyone else, inspired by others."

"Furthermore, regarding shortening the reproductive cycle, even if the cycle is shortened, they lose the feeling of being a mother. What's the difference between them and a birthing machine then?"

"Finally, let me say that I am human. I am human. Although I can no longer say that I am still human now, I was human before this. Therefore, I prefer to have children naturally with them."

"On this point, Natsuki and Kikyo both support me. My familia are not breeding machines; they have feelings. I don't ask them to help me in any way; I just want them to be happy every day. Seeing them happy every day makes me very content."

The answer given on their first night left Athena speechless.

She views the issue from a divine perspective, while the first night is viewed from a human perspective.

This led to a difference in their philosophies.

After listening to Chu Ye's words, Athena asked, "If that's the case, then two years later, when the world undergoes a major change, how will we gain more influence if we don't have a four-figure sum? After all, in this world, strength speaks for itself."

"I have a feeling that it won't just be one or two gods descending; at least ten gods will descend at that time."

Athena's words made Hatsuya look at Nagatsuki and ask, "What will happen if we don't have four figures by then?"

Na Yue laughed and said, "What else can we do? At worst, we can just hide in the divine kingdom. It's not like we have to fight against those gods."

"And even if Mio can't descend at all, she is still a god. We're just stuck in this wretched island nation. Unless those gods are crazy, they wouldn't come to this wretched place and provoke a god."

"Besides, we don't necessarily have to stay put. At worst, we can go back to the divine kingdom, develop there for a few years or decades, and then come out again after we advance to godhood."

"We haven't done anything wrong, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Chu Ye was very satisfied with Na Yue's answer. He hugged Na Yue and kissed her a few times, which made Na Yue look disgusted. However, if you look closely, you will find a smile on Na Yue's lips.

Hearing Nagatsuki's answer, Athena finally understood what Nagatsuki and the others were thinking.

"Alright, I understand what you mean. Since we can't do anything about the birth cycle of the clans, let's increase the number of clans and make up for it with quantity."

Athena's words made both Hatsuya and Nazuki nod. Hatsuya said, "We are already making preparations regarding the Familias. Toyonosaki Academy has many prospective Familias, but I don't like to force them. Besides, becoming a Familia requires voluntariness. Although I don't have any plans for them yet, I'll take my time to win them over one by one when I have time."

Nayue continued after the first night's reply: "At the same time, we are preparing to launch a family reunification program throughout the island nation. We conservatively estimate that there are at least two thousand suitable family members across the island nation."

"We plan to find them and then find a way to bring them to Tokyo."

"Then they'll join Toyosaki Academy, under our surveillance. If anything unexpected happens, we can take them away immediately and force them to become our familiars."

"The criteria for voluntary membership in the Kingdom of God can still be manipulated. As long as their bodies are taken away by the first night, and with other means of assistance, they will still voluntarily join as members of the Familia."

"Of course, this method is only used as a last resort, but it is also used for special family members, such as Emilia, who was treated this way."

"There's no other way; that child's personality puts her at a disadvantage outside. We can only take her in as a family member this way. We just need to make up for it later."

Athena couldn't help but admire Naki's plan for their first night.

"So you've all made pretty much all the preparations. In that case, let's go with your plan. I'll just assist the clan members and help them increase their chances of conceiving. That's all I can do to help."

Athena's words made Natsuki's eyes light up.

"Then please help me first, let me see if it works, and then I'll promote it to them."

After saying that, she gave me a charming look, and it was our first time.

Chu Ye understood her thoughts, then looked at Athena and said, "Then why don't you help Nagatsuki?" With that, Chu Ye led Athena into the special room again, but this time Nagatsuki was there too.

Chapter 94 Fireworks Festival, Miyamizu Shrine, Disrespectful Shrine Maiden [2 Updates, Please Subscribe]

After that, Athena summoned all her familiars into the divine realm, including Seria, Sakuya, and Misaki Shokuhou.

The rest of the family members were called in, including Saya-miya Kaoru and Tsubaki, who were working overtime.

Athena bestowed a special blessing upon him.

Then they were allowed into a special room.

The entire incident lasted for two hours before it ended.

After it was over, each family member went back to their mother and left the Kingdom of God.

They were used to being summoned.

Elena, who had just emerged from the divine realm, was muttering to herself.

"I just finished showering, and now I have to shower again. It's all that big bad guy's fault and that new guy's fault."

"That's right, that's right, it's all her fault!" Huihui chimed in, and Shana joined the crusade after the two of them spoke up.

The three of them were almost falling off their yukatas.

"Alright, stop complaining. Athena did this for you." Kikyo, who was listening to their complaints, spoke up for Athena.

"Let's take a bath first. There's a fireworks festival around the nearby Miyamizu Shrine tonight, I'll take you there. It's 5 pm now, and it'll be almost 6 pm by the time we finish bathing, which is just right."

To appease them, Kikyo decided to take them out to play.

Girls love these kinds of fireworks festivals.

Upon hearing Kikyo's words, Elena and the others immediately forgot about the persecution they suffered at the hands of Athena in the divine realm.

"Yay! Let's quickly finish our baths and change into our pretty yukatas to attend the fireworks festival."

Kikyo smiled as she watched her family members rush into the bathroom.

Then they let Kaede and Suzusaki push the cart inside to collect the yukatas they had changed out of.

Then she prepared yukatas for them to wear during the fireworks festival.

However, considering that she would be in a crowded place, Kikyo chose to wear a kimono instead, since yukata and kimono are essentially the same thing.

The former is more convenient and usually consists of only one layer. Kimonos are more formal and generally have three layers as a base, with the highest being 12 layers, like Miss Aya's. Those are symbols of noble status, although many girls in modern times can also enjoy twelve layers.

However, wearing all twelve layers of kimono would weigh at least several dozen pounds, and Kikyo didn't want her family members to suffer.

Therefore, three layers of fabric are sufficient.

While Kikyo was preparing kimonos for Elena and the others.

He brought Athena out on his first night.

"When will your blessing take effect?" Chu Ye asked Athena as soon as she came out.

Athena has reverted from her teenage form to her silver-haired young girl form.

"It won't take effect so quickly. This kind of blessing will only gradually manifest itself over time. It's impossible for it to take effect immediately after being blessed."

After Athena finished speaking, she lay down on the sofa.

Wearing white knee-high socks and a little dress, she lay down, revealing a beautiful scene.

Athena witnessed her first night in full view, but she felt neither shy nor embarrassed.

She is a goddess, a descendant of the Earth Mother Goddess.

Since Chu Ye is the child of the earth, she and Chu Ye are destined to give birth to a new earth mother goddess together.

This is her responsibility as a descendant of the Earth Mother Goddess.

So everything about her belongs to her first night, it's just her body being seen. She's done things that go much deeper than just seeing her body, so why would she care about such a small issue?

"Phew! Don't do that again, Athena." Natsuki, who had changed into a new gothic Lolita dress and over-the-knee black stockings, also came out.

She warned Athena as she looked at her.

“You’re forcing them. If something goes wrong, we’ll have to spend time comforting them.”

Athena gave a perfunctory response to Nayue's warning, then took off her shoes and lay completely flat on the sofa.

Hearing her perfunctory reply, Natsuki stomped her foot in anger and snorted, then looked at Hatsuya and said, "Kikyo just said there's a fireworks festival around a nearby shrine tonight. Take them there for a day to calm their resentment."

"It's all that guy's fault. Even if he wanted to bestow blessings upon them, he could have taken his time." Nagatsuki's words made Hatsuya realize what she was worried about.

"I understand, I will. I'm going to take a shower too. Then I'll take them out to play."

After talking about her first time, she went into the bathroom.

……

after an hour.

After helping the last member, Nagi Sanzenin, change into a cute kimono, Kikyo stood up and looked at Elaina, Megumin, Shana, Suzuka Dairenji, Yura Kakaiin, Eriri, Megumi Kato, Utaha, Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, and the others in the living room, asking, "Have you all changed your clothes?" Kikyo asked them and received the reply that they had.

"Then go have fun with Nagatsuki and Lady Hatsuya. Have a great time," Kikyo said to them with a smile.

Among the clan members, they are the ones who are prone to getting emotional. Of course, Suzuka and Yura are exceptions; they simply enjoy going out with Lady Hatsuya.

The remaining members of the clan are mostly people who don't like to go out; they prefer to stay at home or in the divine kingdom.

Remilia and the others, as well as Kagari no Kirie, don't like crowded and noisy places.

Kikyo, of course, had a different approach to dealing with them.

Nagatsuki looked at Elaina and the others and said, "Remember, you can't use superpowers. Of course, you can use them if there are any unexpected situations. When you get to the fireworks festival, you can play alone or in groups if you want."

"Alright, let's get going now." Natsuki and Hatsuya, who had also changed into beautiful yukatas, led the way.

Many lovely and pretty girls were dressed in bright and eye-catching kimonos, making themselves look very exquisite and beautiful.

They were all very happy to hear that they were about to set off.

Then, stepping on wooden clogs, making a rhythmic clattering sound, they followed Chu Ye and set off after that month.

Because Miyamizu Shrine is six kilometers away, the group originally decided to take a car there, but ultimately chose to walk.

It's 5:40 now, and by the time we reach our destination, we'll be just in time for the fireworks festival to begin.

Nayuki and Hatsuya led the way, causing quite a stir along the way because of the group of cute and pretty girls behind them. However, the Japanese people were just curious and glanced at them a few times.

After all, in this oppressive society, many overworked employees simply don't have the extra energy to care about so much.

No fools on the road jumped out to stop or harass them.

After all, any existence that dared to exist was dealt with by Natsuki using spatial magic, so it wouldn't affect Elena and the others' mood.

"Wait for me, Hatsuya-kun." Suddenly, several voices rang out from behind. Hatsuya and the others stopped and turned around to look at the newcomers. It was Shokuhou Misaki, Seria, Kirisu Mafuyu, and Tsukumo Sakuya.

The four of them approached Hatsuya. "Don't you guys dislike crowded and noisy places?" Seeing Misaki Shokuhou panting, Hatsuya helplessly pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back to calm her down.

Misaki Shokuhou changed into a very exquisite and beautiful kimono. Like Elaina and the others, she carried a small backpack-like bag on her back.

This type of kimono symbolizes that the girl has become a wife, that is, she has gotten married.

The same applies to the back of the moon. And if it's tied with a bow on the back, it means the person is still single and unmarried.

Under the gentle touch of her first night, Misaka Mikoto's heartbeat finally calmed down.

"Ta-da! The little bee is full of energy!" After recovering, Misaki Shokuhou hugged Hatsuya's arm and showed off her adorable starry eyes.

"Since you're here, just follow along, we'll be there soon."

Nagatsuki brought Seria, Kirisu Mafuyu, and Sakuya into the party.

Misao Shokuhou, the little bee, folded her arm around Hatsuya and leaned on Hatsuya's shoulder as they walked together.

Chu Ye didn't say anything about this, but put his arm around her waist, and the group set off for Miyamizu Shrine.

.........

Miyamizu Shrine.

"Mitsuba, Yotsuba, are you ready?" A wife dressed as a shrine maiden called out to her two granddaughters in the dressing room. "If you don't hurry, the festival will start soon."

"Yes, Mother-in-law, right away." A pleasant voice came from inside the dressing room; just by listening to the voice, you could tell how beautiful its owner was.

Not long after, two girls came out of the locker room.

One was around 17 years old, and the other was around 10. The two changed into formal clerical attire.

Miyamizu Mitsuha and her younger sister Miyamizu Yotsuha are dressed in red and white shrine maiden outfits with cherry blossom knots on their heads. They are wearing white tops and red skirts.

In island tradition, white symbolizes purity and holiness; therefore, shrine maidens typically wear white blouses and red skirts. This color scheme represents the shrine maiden's role as a priestess of the shrine, emphasizing the need to maintain a clean, pure, and sacred image. The red skirt also represents vitality and blessings, symbolizing the shrine maiden's prayers for divine protection and blessings on behalf of the people.

Now, as the shrine maidens of Miyamizu Shrine for generations, Mitsuha and Yotsuba have donned these formal red and white shrine maiden outfits.

"Alright, Grandma, we're going out now." After helping her younger sister Yotsuba get ready, Mitsuha prepared to take her out to perform the ritual dance.

"And Kagura Rin Mitsuha, don't be so rash, the gods will be angry."

Mitsuha's grandmother pointed to the Kagura bell beside her, which had five-colored ribbons tied to its handle. The ribbons were green, yellow, red, white, and blue.
