News of the impending birth thrills the villagers, but they aren't the only ones interested in the good news.

## Summary

Ru's pregnancy is going well, however due to it, she can't transform. As the maids insist on waking up before Hiraku, he starts to wake up a bit late, so that he maids can get some sleep as well. As the village grew quite a bit, they are splitting breakfast into three groups. Hiraku is part of the first group and as he eats, Gran Maria informs him that three killer rabbits tried to infiltrate the farm, however Kuro and the other wolves eliminated them. They note that its good that the rabbits keep trying to do that as they get constant food supply. Hiraku notes that the angels are always composed and proper, but when they are off duty, they enter lazy mode and rely on others to prepare them food and wash their clothes. After he is done eating, Hiraku starts working. He sees some garden pests and eliminates them with the almighty tool.

Hiraku takes break for lunch, which is something that isn't common there and it took people sometime to get used to. The elves are usually not even having breakfast and at first were nervous if it was alright to eat in the morning, wondering if they have enough food supplies. The beastmen were also not used to eat each day and initially believed they are treated nicely because they will be thrown out soon.

After lunch, Hiraku continues to work. While having more people usually helps him with his job, when there is need to till new fields or plant new crops is still a job that Hiraku handles only by himself as he is using the almighty tool. Hiraku plants some flowers, wanting to bring some colors to the village. Outside of farm work, Hiraku is using the almighty tool to create various things to help out the villagers and is thankful to God for the tool. Hiraku also sometimes joins the military training. He doesn't think the village needs it, but the maids insist on it. Seeing them using the training as exercise to stay fit, he decides to train a bit, but is quite bad with any weapon, except the almighty tool.

As it gets dark, Hiraku's work day is over and he heads inside for dinner. The maids present him with a new dish, stating they are confident about it good taste about 20%. Hiraku tells them to only present dishes where they are at least 50% confident its good. However, the maid refuses as they don't want to waste food. Fraurem gives Hiraku a letter from Yuuri in which he reads that she wants to eat apples again and a dress. Fraurem then explains that Yuuri liked the clothes that Zabuton made and is wondering if Zabuton can make more for her. After resting a bit after dinner, Hiraku takes a bath and is usually the only one there (but in reality he was in women's bath temporarily). After the bath, Hiraku usually feels unease as the elves start stalking him. Even in his room, he still feels they watch him and tricks them into revealing themselves. After that, he thanks God again for the good life he was given and falls asleep.

The dwarves are usually always working making alcohol. Hiraku expected they to be always drunk, but they take their job quite seriously and don't drink while working. They also ask him to increase the grape production by three times and Hiraku agrees. Sena comes running and informs Hiraku that there is a strange man. Hiraku goes to check him and sees the man bowing to the wooden god statues Hiraku had made. Hiraku then wonders how he got in without Zabuton or the angels seeing him. Ru recognizes that he is the Progenitor, Vargryfe, who is quite happy to see her. Vargryfe explains that when he heard she is pregnant, he didn't believe it, but it seems its true. Normally they continue their bloodline with bloodpacts and pregnancies are rare, but states that children are treasure and tells her to take care of it. Hiraku wonders who is he and Ru states he can think of him as he grandfather. Vargryfe explains that he is 4000 years old and the secret in living a long life is to erase his memory from time to time, except the important things like his name and clan. Vargryfe apologizes for entering the village without notification, and explains that he initially only intended to look around and leave, but the statue below the tree caught his attention, as it was splendid likeness of the great creator. Hiraku wonders if he met God before and Vargryfe confirms that he met him when he was born and God told him that do his best even though he is born with a slightly abnormal body. Hiraku figures the abnormal body means that he is vampire and Vargryfe guesses so too. Vargryfe explains that he have been trying to remember how exactly God looked and it must be great to live to such statue. Hiraku realizes that he wants the statue and explains that he can't give it to him since it belongs to the village, but he will make him a new one. After making him a statue, Vargryfe likes it. He wonders how much it would cost him, but Hiraku doesn't want to take money for something like that. Vargryfe then states he will have to think what he can do for him as thanks.

After leaving the village, Vargryfe visits a large temple. The head priest there is happy to see him noting it was 50 years since he last visited. Vargryfe states he wants to enshrine a statue and asks what is the best spot. The priest explains it is the spot of the creator god statue which was made by the master sculptor Toorook. Vargryfe then wants to move it in order to put the new statue there and the priest agrees. Seeing the statue, the priest is impressed stating it must have been made by a famous sculptor and wonders about his name so they can honor it, but Vargryfe it would be better if they don't do that as Hiraku doesn't seem the type to appreciate stuff like that and also doesn't want to disturb his peaceful life. Vargryfe states they quietly support him and tells the priest to inform the other temples and they all to be respectful of the Taiju Village.

Vargryfe send Hiraku a magnificent piano. Hiraku doesn't want to take it as payment, but Vargryfe then states its gift to celebrate Ru's pregnancy. Hiraku decides to put the piano in the dinning hall. The Three Hall girls realize that its a piano that can only be found in the large temples and is used for big ceremonies. They decide to play it as its one of a lifetime opportunity. However, they end up too scared to play on it as they fear they may ruin it or break it. The three of them then ask Hiraku if he can get them a piano so they can practice on it. Hiraku doesn't understand why they don't want to play on the current one, but makes Michael Goroun get him a practice piano. A lot of the girls end up enjoying the piano and try learning to play on it. However, Hiraku have trouble sleeping as they also play on it at night.
