Episode 94. Can men do it too?

“Twins…… ?”

“Did you know that when twins are born, both are conceived at the same time?”

“Oh, yes. It’s not very common, but it’s a story with many religious opinions.”

The birth of life is sacred, so holding two means that you are loved by the gods. ….

All meanings are different, but the important thing is that twins are not a common phenomenon enough to give meanings in that way.

In an era where informatization has not been achieved, there is no choice but to have very little knowledge about it. Of course, if a ‘special case’ like now happens, there is no choice but to fall into confusion.

“You mentioned it just now… …. Are you saying there are two fetuses in Arian’s belly right now?”

“No, it does not mean that there were two fetuses in Aryan’s belly, it means that Aryan’s mother was carrying twins when she conceived Aryan.”

Aryan, startled by my words, grabbed his swollen belly in surprise.

It was a reaction as if he couldn’t understand what he was saying.

“I am an only child…… ?”

“When you give birth, you must have come out alone. Because the twins you were with when you were in your belly were absorbed into your body.”

Yes, this is enough to explain.

The probability of that is really slim, but before it becomes a ‘fetal’ state, equivalent to 8 weeks after conception…

In other words, the ’embryonic’ state, which means the state in which sperm and eggs have just been fertilized, is biologically classified as a cell itself, or a ‘quasi-multicellular’ cell division in which cell division has just begun.

“Ah!”

The saintess let out an exclamation when I explained that far.

The knowledge I had learned earlier helped me understand what I was saying.

“Come to think of it, the teacher said this during s*x education. Sperm and eggs are basically defined as ‘cells’.”

“Yes, as you said, the movement is fluid in the cellular state, so separation or absorption can occur.”

In the first place, the twins themselves are created by the splitting of the lens.

It would not be impossible if this is a phenomenon in which Siamese twins, born vaguely, also exist, and that they absorb each other in their pre-fetal state.

“Then the absorbed side… ….”

“At the point of leaving the placenta, nutrition cannot be supplied, so growth stops.

Klee said that there are many cases where no traces of lines are left on the absorbed side, but on the contrary, if the size and shape are fixed to a certain extent, there may be cases where they are stuck to a part of the body and fixed.

This is the reason why it was considered a ‘living tumor’ when I first examined it with sonic waves.

It wasn’t enough to sit down while squeezing through the gaps in the organs, because some parts of the body were half-entangled with the organs.

It is quite horrifying to grow up sucking nutrients from the mother in such a state, but…

“You said Ariane could use divine power, right? When was the last time you awakened your divine power?”

No, now is not the time to consider such personal sentiments.

The important thing will be why the growth of the absorbed fetus has progressed now.

“It appeared during a pilgrimage two or two months ago.”

Yes, two months would be more or less correct.

It was said that the belly swelled and had health problems from 1 month ago, but even in the state of pregnancy, the size of the belly stands out significantly from 4 months.

If you have grown to the point of full term in 2 months, wouldn’t it be roughly the same in terms of timing?

“In other words, to sum it up like this.”

After realizing everything, I closed the notebook in my hand and drew a conclusion about the current situation.

“Aryan’s mother originally conceived twins, but one of them was absorbed into Aryan’s body during the cell movement stage, and after the fetus, which had been dormant while nestled in the stomach, awakened to its divine power, Respond and start to grow exponentially……. It’s the same situation as it is now, two months later.”

Of course, divine power does not accelerate the growth of living things like sunlight.

Because the principle of that power is closer to ‘restoring’ to the existing state, rather than regeneration or cell movement.

In other words, there is a high possibility that Ariane’s stomach has grown in the direction of ‘if he was originally in the placenta, he would have grown this way’.

“Things like that can happen.”

“Yes, I’m honestly surprised too. I can’t believe there are cases where children are conceived this way.”

I could understand it because I had the background knowledge, but I still can’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes.

I’ve never seen anything like this in my previous life.

No matter how theoretically possible it is, no one will believe that virgin conception can be achieved in this way…….

What? Wait for a sec. Come to think of it, in the case of identical twins, the gender is the same, but in the case of fraternal twins, there are cases where the s*xes are different, right?

“Clé, I’m asking just in case. That, the disappearance of the twins……. Theoretically, can a man do it?”

-Good!

I felt the back of her head tingle when I saw Clee standing up straight away.

Hey, not only virgins, but also male pregnancy is possible with this.

This doesn’t mean that I was able to get pregnant in my previous life.

“Um, over there… …. Teacher.”

It’s not long before you shudder at the creepy thought.

Soon Arian started calling me cautiously.

“I don’t quite understand… …. In short, what I’m experiencing right now is……. It’s like a curse, isn’t it?”

A face distorted as if it would cry at any moment.

It seemed that he was worried about whether or not it was true rather than not understanding what he was saying.

In the past, the church she belonged to, Lagrid, had a history of oppressing those with congenital disabilities, calling them ‘the cursed’.

“It is not a curse.”

I spoke directly to Aryan, who was uneasy about that.

“It’s just that the odds are slim, but from the point of view of doctors like me, it’s a phenomenon that is considered quite possible.”

To add a bit of exaggeration, it wouldn’t be strange if the word ‘miraculous’ was added.

It’s a very slim chance just to be absorbed by one of the twins, but to think that the victim awakens to true faith and even conceives a life…….

If this is not a miracle, then what is a miracle?

“So please be at ease. The God you serve still loves you.”

Yes, the light leaking from her hand that held her at this moment is proof of that.

“Ah, ah… !”

As if seizing her hopes from that warmth, before long Aryan let out her wails, clutching her teary face with her hands through which her light leaked out.

“Thank you. Thank you so much sir, thank you from the bottom of my heart for not dropping me…….”

Gratitude swallowed up by her cries as if it were difficult to continue.

It must mean that you suffered so much.

By the time she looked at it with pity, she smiled as the saintess approached me.

“Even though the church is different, those who serve Heide cannot send the innocent back. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the teacher who worked hard for my shortcomings.”

“No, well, I wouldn’t have been able to give the right answer without Klee. If I had to give credit, I think it should go to everyone in Kleas.”

Because Klee was created by inheriting the knowledge and power from all members of Kleas.

So, the credit for this incident should not be given to me alone, but to Clea and the entire Church of Cleas.

Only until ‘when everything is resolved’.

“However, I think it is still too early to be relieved.”

“Yes? What is that…….”

“It’s about what to do with the child in the belly.”

As soon as Aryan stopped by, he whispered in the saintess’ ear.

At first I could understand logically how her virgin got her pregnant.

However, that was the result of digging into the academic world.

In a society where medicine is not universal, ‘a phenomenon that cannot be understood by common sense’ is no different, and the bigger problem is that she is not an ordinary person, but a ‘Lagrid follower’.

“Mr. Sepin probably knows, right? That most religions, including Lagrid, value chastity.”

The extreme case of living as a virgin for the rest of your life does not exist now, but there is still a tendency to stay with a partner for the rest of your life.

That’s why Lagrid kept all the records of those who were engaged.

Although it makes medical sense in such a yard, can you understand that a virgin is pregnant?

In an age when medicine has not yet been universalized, is there a religious group that is more closed and conservative than the average aristocratic family?

“Obviously, Lagrid has had an extreme side in the past. But now I’m separated from those people. Now, like Heide, they respect the doctrines and cultures of other denominations. Speaking of medicine…….”

“Even if the child born through a miracle from God has a deformity?”

The saintess shuddered and trembled.

“Deformed… …. What do you mean?”

“Because it was not a normal pregnancy in the first place.”

I didn’t receive nutrition through the umbilical cord, and Aryan, the equivalent of a mother, is also weak as her body weakens.

A space is also a space, but it must have had a significant impact on growth.

No matter how divine power is a power based on the premise of restoration, the ‘original’ required for restoration is bound to be made in the genetic factor and growth stage.

“Clé. What is the probability that the child will be born intact with the phenomenon you just described?”

Klee made a gesture in response to the question stemming from such anxiety.

An image of crossing the blades of both hands.

This means that there is no case of a normal birth among children born due to the loss of twins.

Of course. Growing in a place other than the placenta is just a bigger tumor from a human perspective.

In a state where even the brain is not properly formed and even the ego does not exist, it is just a grotesque mass of flesh focusing on life activities…

If a life saved through divine power is doing something like that, wouldn’t it lead to irreversible damage to the image of religion?

“…… Maybe sooner or later.”

Such realization was approaching as a premonition before long.

“Odani, who?”

“I mean the interrogators of Lagrid.”

The Heretic Questioner…

No, now that I’m refraining from ostracizing foreign powers, I should just call myself the Inquisitor.

They were writers that even I, who wanted to respect religious people, could not help but be reluctant to do.

In fact, when they came to the front lines to pursue the apostates, there were times when they cut off the limbs of the criminals they had captured and tied them to crosses while wandering around enemy territory.

The crueler you are, the clearer the example for those who commit adultery.

It’s just that the target is no longer a foreign power, and it’s the interrogators who become savage and cruel to those who cause chaos inside.

“Ha, but what happened now can definitely be explained medically, right? Then… ….”

“The Inquisitor is a group that carries out executions even with such knowledge.”

Because the public does not have to understand everything, and knowledge that is not universal is inevitably regarded as false by the public, who have no obligation to access that knowledge.

In fact, aren’t there many cases in which politicians bury the difficult part and treat it as something that didn’t exist?

So, rather than convincing them of nonsensical things, they can define them as ‘those who conceived the devil’ and punish them brutally in front of the confused public.

At least the Inquisitors I knew were the ones who could do that.

“So the ideal thing would be to get the fetus out of the womb before they sense it and start pursuing it.”

Yes, that was my best result.

Of course, a child born in an abnormal condition…….

“Then… Take it out, what next?”

“… ….”

I couldn’t answer the cautious question right away.

Certainly ethically, this could be seen as ‘abortion’.

But if we look at it biologically, not ethically, should we call what is in the stomach life?

The beings that grow while being caught between organs that are not the placenta are virtually no different from giant cancer cells.

Is it really okay to define it as the ‘baby’ we commonly know? At least, if you can afford it, you might want to investigate more carefully…….

“Awesome.”

A groan full of pain was heard at that moment.

Arian, who had listened to my words and was relieved and focused on prayer, complained of pain.

“Arian?”

“A boat, a boat… …. Aww!!”

Arian collapses on the bed screaming while clutching her stomach.

Liquid was dripping down the skirt.

The amniotic fluid broke… ….

No, it’s not a positive number.

That was blood. It is also the blood that comes out as the large intestine is slowly crushed.

“… f*ck this.”

I had forgotten about the existence of the Inquisitor.

The current position of the child is not in the uterus, but between organs. Naturally, the normal birth route from the uterus to the vagina is not available.

In such a yard, the child who could not even get out of the boat continues to grow and press the organ by the divine power…….

If left alone, wouldn’t he die of intestinal rupture?
