Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Why Is Everyone Expecting?!

Tera’s mind went blank.

They had a new baby on their hands?

"You’re joking. That can’t be right."

[Fetal health: Normal]

[Maternal health: Mild malnutrition and fatigue]

"She is with cub," Tera whispered, stunned.

The surrounding beasts stared in shock and looked at Yara, who was looking at Tera, wide-eyed. Her hands slowly went to her belly, and she started crying tears of joy.

"There is life in my belly..."

’Eh?’

Tera did not understand why she was so happy.

Before she could form a thought, the clan erupted in celebration. Beast-folk whooped and howled, and some males puffed out their chests as if they had each personally contributed to the miracle. One beast man was so overcome that he shifted into his beast form and ran three laps around the plateau for no discernible reason.

’What the fuck is happening?’

Suddenly, three males surrounded Yara, their tails wagging so hard that Tera was surprised they didn’t immediately take flight.

"My cub!"

"Our cub!"

"I knew it was my cub!"

"It could be any of our cubs, you idiot—"

"I SAID I KNEW IT FIRST!"

Tera’s mouth hung open.

As docile as Yara looked, she had never once expected this beast woman to actually go dick hopping? So the males who had been puffing their chests had actually contributed to this?

’Hold the fuck up, there were more than three males doing that!’

Someone had brought water for Yara to drink, and she was taken aside to go and rest while Tera stood in the midst of the celebration, while Xavi gently urged the others to return to their work.

Pregnancy was not a bad thing, but Tera felt the timing was terrible.

Three weeks ago was not bad, and there was nothing she could do about it, as that was when she had just met them.

But Yara had been one of her most enthusiastic workers, and that was one less pair of hands for the heavy labour going on.

And Tera needed all the hands she could get within these three months for her task.

What if the shelters that had been put up were thrashed by the weather or something before the duration was over, and they needed to put things up again?

Tera could not give Yara any vigorous tasks anymore, especially when pregnancies for beasts were roughly between three to six months, depending on the species.

[Recommendation for pregnant female: Increased fluid intake, small, frequent meals, reduced strenuous labour]

Tera wanted to cry.

’Wonderful,’ she thought. ’Truly wonderful. One of my strongest workers is now out of commission for months. This is exactly what I needed.’

But the pregnant female was only the beginning.

Two more days brought up two more females who showed the same symptoms. Fatigue, nausea, an aversion to raw meat, and that unmistakable shift in scent that every beast in the clan could apparently detect from fifty paces.

One of them had been sitting against a tree with a dazed expression. She had been sitting against a tree with a dazed expression, her hand resting on her stomach.

The other one had admitted she’d been feeling strange for days but hadn’t wanted to bother anyone.

Three. Three pregnant females now out of eleven females total.

Three of Tera’s workers were now off heavy labour, needed extra food the clan barely had, and required better shelter than what currently existed.

Remembering how some females had snuck off during breaks, Tera felt a foreboding feeling as she then used the system to scan their bodies.

Seven out of the other eight were DAYS pregnant.

Tera felt her soul leave her body.

’Fuck, fuck, fuck. No... Why is this happening?!’

’Is it also essential for my mental breakdown? Because that is what is growing right now!’

’Be serious right now!’

’This is going to affect the task too! OMG!’

’That is not the issue!’
