Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1671

Chapter 1671: Sibling

"Mom... you’re pregnant."

Those three words ended the entire banquet.

In a space filled with beings of great power, no matter how low his voice had been, there was no one who hadn’t heard it.

People froze mid-speech. Booming laughter died out. The enchanting music cut off instantly.

All eyes turned toward the duo, gazes wide.

Pregnant?

Even Anastasia looked flustered, blinking rapidly.

"W-what are you talking about? Pregnant? I’m not—"

"Trust me."

Atticus met her gaze with a steady look. The moment Anastasia saw the seriousness in his eyes, her own widened.

"...I’m... pregnant?"

Avalon stepped forward and gently steadied his shaken wife.

"Let’s head home."

...

Moments later, the entire family appeared in the mansion on the hill. They gathered around Anastasia as Avalon calmly examined her body.

"...it’s faint but... it’s there." Avalon finally said, drawing looks of surprise from everyone.

"But... I didn’t feel anything..."

"It’s still extremely early. You probably just got pregnant. If I didn’t know what to look for, I would’ve missed it too."

Avalon shot Atticus a glance, once again reminded that he wasn’t a normal boy.

"So... I’m pregnant."

The whole house fell silent, all eyes on Anastasia. None were sure whether to celebrate or mourn.

Matters like this usually depended on the mother, whether it was expected or not. Either she would break into joy, or into tears. Either way, they would know soon enough.

"...honey... I’m pregnant."

Tears suddenly slipped down Anastasia’s cheeks. The expressions of everyone dimmed at once, a quiet sadness settling over them.

"...finally..."

As Anastasia suddenly jumped up and threw her arms around Avalon, the room froze.

Everyone exchanged glances, as though trying to make sense of what they were seeing. She was crying... and then jumping... what were they supposed to do!?

"Tears of joy," Ember said matter-of-factly, earning an "oh" from the others.

Instantly, smiles spread across the room as they moved in, joining the embrace and offering their congratulations.

"Finally... finally."

As Anastasia kept repeating the words, Ozeroth suddenly stepped toward Atticus.

"Hmph. Since it’s good news, I’ll lift your punishment. You’re invited to my banquet."

"...what?"

Atticus was speechless. A banquet... now...? Why the hell would he want to go to any banquet?

Seeing Ozeroth’s expression begin to twist, he cleared his throat.

"...thanks."

"You should be grateful. Especially for what I’m about to do."

Ozeroth smiled broadly, folding his arms.

"I’ll teach you."

"...teach me what?"

"What else? How to be a great elder brother. Learn from me." Ozeroth said. "You’ve seen how Ozerra is with me, haven’t you? Always by my side, always following me around. That’s admiration. If you want that, you’ll need guidance. My guidance."

"...."

Atticus swept a glance around the room, then looked back at him.

"...where is Ozerra?"

"What? She’s right her—"

Ozeroth turned to his side, then froze. He blinked, glanced around the house, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"..."
