"Yu, um... what should we do now?"
Miura Yumiko tugged on the young man's arm, nervousness evident in her voice.
Miura Yumiko was not ignorant about certain things like Shinomiya Kaguya. In fact, even Shinomiya Kaguya probably understood how serious pregnancy and childbirth were.
When those two things happened within a family, they were definitely good things, signs that happiness was knocking at the door, but this problem had appeared with Katsura Kotonoha!
Although Nakano Yu and Katsura Kotonoha were already engaged, it was still only an engagement; they were not married yet. Pregnancy before marriage was an extremely serious issue in any country!
At this moment, Miura Yumiko was obviously panicking. She had no experience with these things, and the person who was pregnant was Katsura Kotonoha, someone she was very close to. But Katsura Kotonoha was still attending school, so should that child... be aborted?
The emerald glow in the young man's eyes gradually faded away. Looking at the nervous Katsura Kotonoha, Nakano Yu smiled faintly and asked:
"Kotonoha, you haven't gone to the hospital, have you?"
When she heard Nakano Yu suddenly ask that question, Katsura Kotonoha was startled, but she still shook her head and answered honestly:
"Mother cares a lot about the family's reputation, so I..."
Katsura Kotonoha did not finish her sentence, but both Nakano Yu and Miura Yumiko understood what she meant. It was nothing more than fear that her going to the hospital, especially for such a reason, as the eldest daughter of the Katsura family, would negatively affect Katsura Manami's reputation.
"Kotonoha, it's possible that you're not pregnant at all. I'll take you to the hospital later."
Nakano Yu's expression was serious. Pregnancy absolutely could not escape the detection of the Cut Break ability. Besides, he had already used cursed energy to examine Kotonoha's body and truly had not found any signs of life, which was why he came to such a conclusion.
"Eh? I'm not... pregnant?"
Upon hearing that, Katsura Kotonoha looked somewhat surprised. Naturally, the girl did not doubt Nakano Yu's words, but her face instantly turned completely red, feeling unbelievable embarrassment over her earlier foolish actions.
"It's not certain. In any case, it's safer to go and check."
Nakano Yu gently shook his head. Although both Cut Break and his cursed energy detection gave the same answer that Katsura Kotonoha was not pregnant, for something like this it was still best to go to the hospital. At least then they would have triple confirmation.
"Mhm!"
Katsura Kotonoha quickly nodded. After learning that she might not be pregnant, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time also felt a bit disappointed.
Did Katsura Kotonoha want to become a mother? If it were said that she did, she did not completely want it. But if it were said that she did not, her heart still longed for that little life that had yet to arrive.
Perhaps human nature was simply full of contradictions. At this moment, Katsura Kotonoha's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.
After they talked for a while longer, it was soon time for class.
Of course, Nakano Yu had no plans to stay in the classroom during lessons. After requesting leave from Hiratsuka Shizuka, the young man directly took Katsura Kotonoha to the hospital.
Sobu High School was located in a busy part of the city. After leaving the school, Nakano Yu quickly brought Katsura Kotonoha to his hospital.
As for why it was his hospital, it could only be said that the Nakano family had become far too influential during this period.
From the moment he was exposed and appeared before the public as a hero, most of Neon's citizens chose the Nakano family for medical treatment. With the strong support of various major organizations, the Nakano family could now be considered the absolute ruler of the medical and life sectors in Neon.
Although in terms of size it still could not compare to the Shinomiya Group, which was involved in multiple industries, it had already become a true giant.
Even if Nakano Yu did not want to bring Katsura Kotonoha to his own hospital, looking for another hospital would probably take a lot of time. If it were night, it would have been easier; he could simply use Moon Authority for teleportation.
Kotonoha had signed a Wing Contract with him very early on, and her physical abilities were extremely strong. She would not feel dizzy at all from Moon Authority teleportation, so there was no need to worry about it affecting Kotonoha.
After getting a number at the reception desk without any waiting, Katsura Kotonoha was quickly taken for examination. As for the doctor examining her, Nakano Yu also knew her; he occasionally saw her whenever he came to the hospital to find Nakano Maruo. She was a woman who looked to be around fifty years old.
According to the girl at reception, that woman was a true expert in obstetrics, and since it was only an examination, Nakano Yu was not too worried.
After finding a random seat in the hallway to rest, Nakano Yu raised his head toward the completely white hospital ceiling, suddenly feeling nervous.
Honestly speaking, if Katsura Kotonoha really was pregnant, Nakano Yu was not sure what he should do.
If several more years had passed, he would definitely choose to accept everything, but Katsura Kotonoha was still...
Besides, he had lived two lives, but in neither had he been a father. It was certain that he lacked experience. As for asking Nakano Maruo for advice, no thanks. That man had not even cared about him and the Five Sisters after Nakano Reina's death.
If it came to raising children, Nakano Maruo might have some experience. Hmm, he could ask him later. Ah, right! There was also Uncle Tachibana.
But this afternoon he had to take Marika to Kyushu Island, so it seemed he would not be able to go out with Yumiko. He would have to explain it to her later so she would not think he stood her up. He believed Yumiko would understand.
While thinking about this, he suddenly caught sight of a tiny figure from the corner of his eye.
"Hmm? A yokai?"
Sensing something strange, Nakano Yu turned his head and muttered. The moment he entered this hospital, he had sensed a demonic aura.
That demonic aura was not strong; in fact, it was extremely weak, and it was also scattered, as though many tiny demonic auras had gathered together to create an illusion.
Nakano Yu had not paid too much attention to it.
Hospitals were places where much blood was spilled, and many people died every day. Over time, yin energy would accumulate there, and yokai loved such places, just like the ghosts wandering the streets.
But speaking of it, he had not seen those ugly things for a long time. Had the Moon God Envoys cleaned them up? Or had the yokai from the Nura Group done it?
Nakano Yu did not know, nor did he care. In any case, it caused him no trouble.
Just as he was thinking about it, a scent suddenly drifted into his nose. That scent was extremely strange, like the smell of books, yet also like a floral fragrance he had never smelled before.
For such a scent to appear in a hospital, it was absolutely impossible for the hospital to be using some kind of scented disinfectant spray. Nakano Yu also knew that the scent came from the girl who had suddenly stopped in front of him.
Pulling his thoughts back, Nakano Yu looked at the cute girl holding a cane, wearing a white fluffy dress and white thigh-high socks, while a beret rested atop her short light golden hair, and asked:
"Can I help you with something?"
Looking at the girl who had stopped in front of him, Nakano Yu immediately noticed something unusual. The girl's right eye was a prosthetic, and her left leg was also a prosthetic. Besides that, Nakano Yu also sensed a demonic aura from the girl.
It was very weak, but it definitely existed. At the same time, Nakano Yu was certain that the girl before him was human.
Faced with Nakano Yu's question, the girl's lips curled into a beautiful smile as she said:
"Hey, Lord Nakano, do you perhaps need a mistress?"
