Chapter 553: 65. Pseudopregnancy Theory (Two in One)_2

“But I don’t have any records here about why this happens to the Moon Rabbit Species, but there are records by your Nali biologists about a phenomenon in wild rabbits called ‘pseudopregnancy’, which might have similarities or connections to the situation observed in the Moon Rabbit Species?”

“Pseudopregnancy?”

“Mm-hm, recorded by your Nali scholars. It’s a strange condition where a female rabbit exhibits symptoms of pregnancy and labor but no baby rabbits are produced. But let me remind you that many demi-human races with similar animal-like appearances don’t necessarily share their behaviors. You can refer to it but don’t take it entirely on faith.”

“So what’s the cause, touching her ears?”

“I don’t think so, it’s definitely for other reasons. Aren’t you a scholar studying demi-humans? This is something you will have to explore on your own.”

“…”

…

…

“Thud! Thud! Thud!”

The fire on the hearth had already died out, but it had kept the small Healing Corruption Church warm throughout the night, only handing over its duty to the Sun in the sky as dawn approached.

The first ring of the morning bell from the top of the church awakened all creatures in the vicinity, and the long ears on the head of the girl lying in bed trembled slightly due to this. The sudden trembling of her ears traveled down, bringing her expression to wakefulness as well.

“My ears… they hurt…”

She muttered groggily and after a few seconds sat up, dazedly covering her ears; her memory was a bit fuzzy now, only vaguely recalling that something important seemed to have happened last night…

What exactly happened yesterday?

Thinking this, Ilois was rubbing the slightly reddened base of her ears when she suddenly lowered her head to see her intact nun’s robe and her slightly swollen belly.

“Huh?”

Her expression froze suddenly, and the shocking memory from last night flooded into her brain. Yes, she remembered, she had been tidying up in the Bell Tower last evening, then she saw the monster behind Mr. Fisher, and then she accidentally fell off the Bell Tower and was saved by Mr. Fisher who caught her ears and pressed against her belly…

Does that mean that yesterday Mr. Fisher touched her ears resulting in her having a baby?

Thinking this, the spark in Ilois’s bright eyes suddenly dimmed, her slightly agape mouth filled with disbelief and confusion. She was at a loss for several seconds before her eyes and nose suddenly became sore, and uncontrollably tears began to flow.

“Wuwuwu… I… I am no longer pure… Sister Shalu… what should I do?”

Ilois pitifully opened her mouth and looked up, tears falling continuously from the corners of her eyes. In just a moment, she burst into tears, her ears drooping powerlessly above her head. She weakly reached out to cover her small belly, as if to confirm whether this was really happening.

But the more she touched, the more certain she became that there was now a small Life closely connected to her inside her belly, and he was also the child of the Nali man who had appeared so suddenly.

Just then, a whiff of meaty aroma reached Ilois’s nose, her crying was interrupted as she uncontrollably sniffled, breaking the spell of her crying, and she looked towards the direction of the Gate with her eyes open.

The next moment, a Nali man standing with a book on his shoulder appeared expressionlessly at the door holding a pot of cooked meat soup – if not Fisher, then who? But when he saw the girl crying and covering her belly in the room, his eyes unexpectedly showed a hint of evasion.

“Mr. Fisher?”

“Mm-hm, do you want breakfast?”

Tears were still on Ilois’s face. She nodded blankly, agreeing because she was indeed hungry, but a second later she began shaking her head frantically, while shaking, she pulled up the bedding to cover her body,

“I’ll eat… no no no, Mr. Fisher… wuwu, I said you can’t touch my ears, or… or I will have a baby… What should I do now? If I have a baby, I won’t be able to serve the Mother Goddess, nor take over the church for Sister Shalu, wuwuwu~”

She looked up and just cried, and Fisher could even see her slightly trembling, tender little tongue from her opened mouth. He rubbed the back of his head with a bit of a headache, and just as he was about to step forward, he saw Ilois on the bed retreat warily, afraid that Fisher would do something bad to her again.

Fisher had no choice but to stay at the door and extended his first finger towards Ilois inside the room,

“First of all, you are not pregnant. It is impossible to get pregnant just by touching ears.”

Ilois stared blankly at the serious Fisher in front of her, then looked down at the noticeable bulge at her belly, before saying,

“Then… what’s this?”

“… I don’t know, it might be a physiological phenomenon of the Moon Rabbit Species, but I can assure you, just touching ears absolutely cannot result in offspring.”

“So… how does one actually produce offspring?”

Fisher, looking at the naive servant of the Mother Goddess in front of him, for a moment found himself unable to explain such things to the innocent Sister Ilois, which suddenly reminded him of the time when he was a child asking Sister Theresa about such grown-up matters.
