Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(Vol 5)

Vol 5/Chapter 1: Another Name

"I hear you've been bold lately!"

Early in the morning, I woke up to see Cyra sitting by the chair, looking at me with a meaningful gaze.

"What do you mean bold? You think you're some big shot? Don't go around copying how others talk!"

I frowned and snapped back at her. I could guess what she meant - this girl must have heard about me and Adrian being together last night. But I didn't want to admit anything.

"Nothing..." Cyra said, but she jumped onto my bed, her face full of gossip as she asked:

"Did you two do everything? Isn't that too fast?"

"Are you pregnant?"

"Can you give birth smoothly in ten months?"

"What will the baby look like? What name will you give it?"

"Which country will you choose your son-in-law from?"

"Do you want a grandson or granddaughter?"

...

This was getting more and more ridiculous. I didn't have the patience to argue, so I just kicked her out the door.

"You're getting worked up! That means there's a story here!"

Unfortunately, Cyra had already reached six wings, so she was much tougher now. My kick didn't hurt her at all. In less than two seconds, she bounced back into the tent, shamelessly continuing to ask me questions.

"Why do you care? Have you settled things with the church?"

With no other choice, I reminded her irritably. We originally had separate tents, but because those church followers kept bothering her, Cyra had to hide in my tent. Who knew I'd end up sheltering such a nuisance!

"Well... I'm just curious about children between humans and angels!" she finally admitted. But she still fired off a bunch of questions and guesses:

"What do you think your kids would look like? Half-angels? What exactly is a half-angel anyway? What if there's a grandchild generation one day?"

It was just a kiss, but now she's even bringing up grandchildren. I was amazed by her imagination! But come to think of it, no one had ever mentioned children between angels and humans before.

Logically, offspring of angels and humans should be half-angels. But in this world, that didn't seem to be the case. Not only had I never heard the term, but there was no such race classification in the Adventurers' Guild either. Could it be that angels and humans simply can't have children together?

But I remember hearing other angels say that humans and angels getting together was indeed another way for the angel population to grow. From that angle, this method should have great potential! Yet the Angel Descent Formation was still the primary choice for angels. That was quite intriguing...

I shook my head at this thought.

Anyway, these weren't things I needed to worry about! Even though I accepted Adrian, it didn't mean we had to have kids. That must be so painful! I'll leave that experience to Nicola alone. She's already pregnant in the future anyway, though I still don't know who her husband is. But I'm not interested in finding out anymore - I have enough of my own problems to deal with!

"Saint Angel, are you awake? We've brought breakfast for you and the other angel!"

Just as I finished getting dressed, I heard the respectful voice of church followers outside. Cyra immediately stood up and went to the door to refuse:
