SSS Awakening: Conquering Worlds with My Cupid System
Chapter 173: A Very Important DiscussionNighttime in the Ashard Estate was always full of fun.
Whether it was Alpha screaming because Gromda had accidentally mistaken his protein shake for juice again, Raymond chasing one of the estate’s robotic vacuum cleaners after it somehow escaped into the gardens, or the system randomly announcing someone’s failed meditation posture, there was never a truly quiet night.
Tonight, however, everything was unusually peaceful.
Moonlight streamed through the bedroom windows, bathing the spacious room in a soft silver glow. The curtains swayed gently with the cool breeze drifting in from the balcony.
The enormous bed had somehow become even more crowded than usual.
Anna lay comfortably against the headboard, reading a medical journal she had promised herself she would finish three days ago.
Chloe lay on her stomach nearby, absentmindedly scrolling through her phone while occasionally glancing toward Silas.
Gromda, meanwhile, had somehow claimed nearly half the bed despite shrinking herself back to her seven-foot form. She occasionally changed sizes depending on her gym schedule, which the system had prepared for her.
Silas himself lay between them, one arm behind his head as he stared lazily at the ceiling. Nobody spoke. It was one of those rare moments where silence itself was relaxing.
Just then, Silas suddenly sat upright. His expression became unusually serious. Very serious. The sudden movement made the three women immediately look at him.
Anna lowered her journal, Chloe blinked once, and Gromda tilted her head. Silas folded his hands together beneath his chin.
"I have a very important question to ask." His tone was grave enough that the atmosphere instantly changed.
Anna frowned. "What happened?"
"Is someone hurt?" Chloe sat up.
"The system?"
Even Gromda’s expression became serious.
"Enemy?"
Silas slowly shook his head.
"No."
The three women waited. Silas inhaled deeply.
"Is any of you pregnant?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Complete silence. The girls froze. Anna’s eyes widened, Chloe’s phone slipped from her hands onto the mattress, and even Gromda’s jaw slowly dropped. None of them had expected that question, not even remotely.
A long, very long silence followed. This was one of the few situations where the saying, "A loud silence," happened. Then the realization hit them all simultaneously.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Oh." Anna’s cheeks slowly turned pink. Chloe stared blankly into space as if trying to mentally calculate something.
Gromda scratched her cheek. "Mate ask good question..."
Silas rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"I just realized... We’ve been..." He coughed. "...very active lately."
Nobody disagreed. They had genuinely forgotten that little detail. Anna slowly closed her journal before looking directly at him.
"What if one of us is?" Her voice was calm. "What if I am? What if Chloe is? What if Gromda is?"
She smiled softly, but that smile was far from joy or happiness. It would chill Gorda to the soul.
"Would you not accept it?"
Silas looked almost offended. "What? No."
He shook his head immediately.
"I’m not that wicked."
He reached over and gently held Anna’s hand.
"If any of you are, I’d be happy." His smile became warm. "I’d probably panic first."
Gromda nodded vigorously.
"Good panic."
"Exactly." Silas laughed. "I just want time to prepare if it’s a possibility. I mean..."
He gestured helplessly.
"I’m eighteen. I can barely drive. Imagine adding diapers to the list."
That earned him three laughs. Even Chloe smiled.
"A fair concern."
Silas sighed dramatically.
"I’d have to baby-proof an entire mansion."
Gromda raised a hand.
"I help."
Anna giggled.
"I don’t think you’re the one who needs supervision."
"..."
"Maybe a little."
The room relaxed again. Then, without warning, a familiar translucent screen appeared before all four of them, causing everyone to look up.
[Analyzing...]
Pink lines of light flowed across the room for several seconds.
"System?" Silas blinked.
[Biological scan complete.]
[Report:]
[Anna Miles: Not Pregnant.]
[Chloe Montreal: Not Pregnant.]
[Gromda Ashard: Not Pregnant.]
[Conclusion: Current probability of imminent fatherhood: 0%.]
"..."
"..."
"..."
Silas slowly let out the breath he hadn’t realized he was holding.
"Well, that’s one thing off my mind."
Anna covered her face, laughing in embarrassment.
"I can’t believe the system actually scanned us..."
Chloe sighed.
"It’s thorough."
Gromda blinked.
"System very smart."
[I know, right?] Its tone was smug, causing Silas’s eye to twitch in annoyance.
[Should this status change in the future, the user is advised not to panic. Panic has been statistically proven to be unhelpful.]
Silas stared at the message for several seconds.
"I feel personally attacked."
The girls burst into laughter as the system quietly dismissed itself, leaving the room once again bathed only in moonlight and the sound of their laughter.
Then Silas asked the system again.
"System, why isn’t any of them pregnant, after all the sex we’ve had? Am I..."
[No! That is an insult to the great Cupid. If there’s anyone who is very potent when it comes to fertilizing eggs in women, it’s Cupid.]
"Then why? You haven’t answered my question..."
[It is a biological issue. Let’s start with you.]
Everyone instantly became attentive. This was something very important and would be of help to them in the near future. They knew it.
[Silas. You are the descendant of Cupid with a race that is just second to Cupid’s position as a Supreme Being. Your seeds are very potent and can make any woman, even a granny, pregnant.]
"..."
[Ahem! Anyway, that is you. So, you’re not the problem here. Far from it.]
"Okay..."
[Miss Anna is a human, albeit very close to evolving into the original species of humans, thus, the ancestor of humans, Adam. Her race is less powerful than yours, so it would take a very long time for her eggs to be even fertilized, talk about pregnancy.]
"Wow..."
[And before I forget, there is always this issue when it comes to highly powerful races. The more powerful the race, the more difficult it is for them to give birth. Take the dragons, for example. There are only a few hundred to five hundred dragons left in the universe.
The same applies to you all.
Chloe is of a high race, though she is a hybrid. A human and an ice giant. It would take a lot more to get her pregnant.
Out of you all, Gromda is the most likely to get pregnant first, but that would also take a few more years for fertilization to take place, even if you have sex every single minute without rest.]
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
[Pregnancy should be the least of your worries now. You have other things to think about.]
