Chương 159: Chapter 142. Plans For The Future

" John, it's time to leave." Anna called to me as I was finishing off some final paperwork about what to start making from all of the milk we've collected. I looked up at her as I rose from my seat." Everyone is already there?"" Yes, which is why I used your name. Sarah is also in the house, she's downstairs waiting for us." I walked to Anna, and we began to leave my office." I wonder if I can ever get to a point where I could reveal my real name to the people here?"

From my thinking out loud, Anna responded to me." Perhaps, but we should most likely vet people and create rules, like only calling you by your true name in our home."" It sounds like you already have candidates?"" I do. Ruby, for 1."" She has been around for a bit, hasn't she?" Ruby's more or less become my personal bodyguard in general. Pretty much, as soon as I walk out of the mansion, Ruby is at my left side, watching our surroundings wherever I go. It's been a week since I debuted ice cream to everyone.

And I'm very happy with the demand of the product. It was so great from just the participants from the lunch that day, that I barely had enough to quell daily demand. Thankfully, with some help from Rex, I was able to learn from the cattle where other cattle were likely to graze, we've been able to obtain 75 cattle in total that have willingly moved into the ranch and barns of Paradise. With that, milk production will be fine for any daily needs in Paradise.

I also have been growing a good surplus as well, I've set some away for experimenting with cheese. I hope I can also find out the right ratio of acid to make a decent sour cream soon. The Chefs of Paradise are loving the basic recipes I gave them to use milk and cream with. Jim in particular has gone crazy. Janet has been in a mood for the past week however. Since Jim has spent so much time experimenting in the mansion's kitchen. I shudder to think what's going to happen when I start working on butter next week.

But, it needs to be done regardless of any fears I might have." There you are, thinking about work again, aren't you?" Anna and I had walked down to the front room where Sarah was sat on the admittedly comfortable couch. She saw my face and accurately guessed what I was thinking about. That's become a habit of mine for the past while now. What can I say? I'm just so full of ideas and expectations. Regardless, it's rude to my Family to have my mind somewhere else when we have so little time together as is.

Granted, Sarah and Anna are going to be able to have a nice vacation starting tomorrow as their jobs of watching over the Humans has finally come to an end. Tonight, is the banquet for their farewell. Which is why Anna came to get me as the sun was just about to set." Sorry. I promise, I won't think about anything else other than the night and of course, you 2."" Well, that should be nice, right, Anna?" I look at Anna only to see her hesitate to answer." It's okay, you won't hurt my feelings."

After a little coaxing, Anna answered me." I think it would be nice, also it would be nice for us to have a day to be a couple.... Preferably one of the days when the Servants have a day off..."" I'm in favor of this!" Sarah jumped with agreement to Anna's request. Well, I have been working a lot, haven't I? Now is a good time to be able to relax. I've been working hard for..... Well, since I came here around 2 months ago. I guess they've gotten lonely.

They must've been planning a situation like this where they could tell me plainly how they feel. I guess I should really let them know how I feel too? A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation." As for the day off, I can start doing that now. How's every Sunday sound? Sarah and Anna were relieved at my answer. I continued on with my words." Sorry, I've been a tad bit too focused on all of this work we've had to do."" John, it's okay.

It's just that we weren't sure when it was going to end, John." Anna responded to my apology; Sarah just nodded her head." After I've finished up a couple more creations, I'll be able to spend a lot more time here. I'll probably end up being stuck doing paperwork and overseeing the development projects for Paradise. I'll start to be cooped up here and really only stepping out to train or go on dates with you both."" That sounds like a great plan!" Sarah seemed to really enjoy the last prediction of my future."

Well, that'll be the plan.... Until we have some children running around here." To my words, Sarah had a wide smile with expectations in her eyes. Anna had a bashful smile. I was starting to get a bit itchy myself. After a few seconds, Sarah asked a question that no doubt she's been wanting to know for a while now." When exactly.... And don't get me wrong, I enjoy the time we 3 spend together. But, when do you want to start trying for children, John?" Sarah asked, with somewhat red cheeks.

She seemed a bit nervous for my answer. But I finally had a decent time frame I could give her." Honestly.... Probably in the next 3 months...."" WHY!?" Sarah excitedly asked for an explanation. Anna was right next to her; both their eyes were glowing with excitement. I guess they've really been holding back on this topic for some time... Well, with all of the interruptions and work we've all had to do, I can see why they'd probably feel like they're a little behind where they'd like to be in this Marriage.

I guess I should get on with explaining myself." I originally thought that it would take longer to get people to like milk products and I'd have to work a lot harder to get people to try it. But, since everyone's opinion of it is so good already, I think after I give some to Warrick and Aqua, as well as the stunt we're going to pull in the winter.... I think we can start trying real soon. With the advertisements I plan on using and the backing of Warrick and Aqua.

Once ice cream takes off, I'll just need to find some suitable people to work for me, so I only really need to approve things. Once I can fully switch to that, we can just live our lives and train. I mean, I'm already able to warp us to Mori Village. With a bit more Tempering I'll be able to move 2 of us to the Royal Palace. So, I want some extra time in order to be able to celebrate with everyone when the announcement does come for us. Well, this is all just a long-winded attempt to say....

Our time as a Family of 3 is limited.... So, I want to make the most of it with you both, for as long as possible." The girls at first were a bit stunned by my answer. They took some time to collect themselves, but when they did, the first thing Sarah said was. Grip!" To think you planned as far as celebrating with our Parents and siblings when we actually conceive... I Love You, John.

Yes, with everything already planned for expanding the ice cream you made, it should spread in no time and become a staple of households soon enough. You have my word on that! You're really making me look forward to the oncoming decades." Kiss! Sarah kissed me after she finished speaking. Anna was holding my hand and waiting her own turn to speak. Once Sarah let me go, Anna began to explain to me her feelings.... Wrap! Tighten!

Is what I would say, if it wasn't for the fact that instead of speaking, she immediately hugged me. She seemed to have forgotten her own strength as she tightened her grip. My body has been trained and strengthened by my Holy Mana, so I just let her do as she pleased. While she was holding me, I began to hear a low muttering from her." I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You...." Pat... I simply pat her head and let her get it all out of her system.

Maybe she was a bit concerned that even with time passing, I still chose to use contraception during our intimate times? In Gaia, Marriage for a lot of people is synonymous with making children. My actions were very "abnormal" in that sense. I imagine some people may have even thought that I was deficient as a man or something... If only they knew the self-control I've had to exert just so I could make it so my children didn't grow up in a ghost town. I'm surprised I haven't ascended to Sainthood honestly.

Though I guess that isn't possible since I'm a Paladin? After we all calmed down, I thought it was time to head to the banquet finally." Sarah, Anna... I think it's time to head to the banquet already. but before we go.... I just want you both to know. I Love You Both more than you could know... And in all honesty, I can't wait for us to raise our kids together." These words almost sent them into another episode of wanting to express their feelings.

Sarah and Anna were able to contain themselves, but Sarah and Anna issued a promise... Or maybe even a threat." Because of the banquet, it would take too much time to do what we want to do..."" But tonight, John, be prepared!" Sarah started it and Anna ended it shockingly. I smiled and walked with them to the door. The sun was still in the early stages of setting as we began to walk where all the commotion and laughing was.
