Chapter 199 Disinfected Love

Even if he is in a coma for days, Moku can still feel his surroundings. When his body began to recover and was able to regain consciousness, Moku opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was the face of an orc boy staring at him with seriousness and curiosity without even blinking. Unlike an orc boy of his age, this orc boy had a larger body and his face looked more like his mother, a human.

Even so, the bloodshot-red eyes, green skin, and two tusk teeth indicated that this child was an orc. However, his head, which was filled with thick black hair, again confused the other orcs because before evolving into an asura, an orc did not have the slightest hair on its body.

This boy is Moku and Nevare's son, Nash.

"Father, you woke up! MOOOMM! Father woke up!" when he realized that his father was staring at him, Nash smiled broadly before shouting as loud as he could for his mother.

Nash's relationship with Moku can be said to be not bad but not too close either. Like most orcs, he paid no heed to his several-month-old son. When he is one year old he will separate from his parents and attend the academy that Moku has prepared for him.

The time of their separation is getting closer, Nash will be transferred to the academy's dormitory and join the other monster kids. Maybe they can meet but Moku's busy life as a king will prevent him from focusing too much attention on Nash.

Formerly Moku never thought like this because for him strength is everything, if Nash becomes a weak monster then Moku will leave him. But right now there is a little regret in his heart when he can't spend time with Nash before he becomes an adult.

Moku put his palm on Nash's head. Rubbing his soft black hair.

Nevare spoiled Nash too much, giving her son all the attention she could. Moku was worried that Nash became a weak orc. Unlike humans who live safely behind their thick walls, monsters must fight with teeth and nails to survive in the harsh Bog forest.

Even Moku, who is the strongest monster at the moment, has to be sprawled on his bed. So there is no guarantee that Nash will live in a safe condition until he grows up. For orcs and monsters, weakness is the greatest sin.

But right now Moku just wants to stroke Nash's head.

"Fa..father?" Nash froze feeling warm palms stroking his head.

Nash always thought that his father was a very strict person, but never once did Nash see the warmth in Moku's eyes. His father only showed affection when he was with his mother and other aunts.

His father always spent time with the other adult orcs. Nash, who had no peers, felt lonely and wanted attention from his father. Because of that, Nash really wanted to quickly grow up and become a strong orc.

That way maybe Moku will pay more attention to him.

Moku smiled and said "Nash... We orc does not recognize kinship with a father, every orc is a brother no matter which orc he was born from. We only have a parental relationship with our mother, so call me like you call your brother"

There is a cruel secret behind Moku's statement, but he has not had the heart, to tell the truth to Nash right now. He was too young to know the true form of an orc.

Moku had always felt strange about the orc culture that didn't know their father's paternity. Normally, the father of Moku and the other five members of the young orc group was Goku or one of the adult orcs, but in reality, not a single adult orc claimed to be the father of the young orcs.

An orc only has two blood relatives, a mother and blood brothers (Born from the same mother). For the rest, they are only brothers in one race.

This oddity made Moku a little curious and used his dragon prana to investigate it. But only when Nevare became pregnant with Nash, Moku found out what really happened.

This fact, disturb his human moral for a while. Maybe it's because of his human memory that influences how Moku views life, but after meditating and reconsidering Moku accepted the truth.

Especially after the fight with the Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee, Moku realized that he was no longer a human and that he shouldn't be limited by the morals and logic of a human.

But there was someone who could not accept Moku's words.

"What do you mean by that?" Nevare came into the Orc's Burrow and heard Moku's words.

"Don't you admit that Nash is your son? Do you think that another orc impregnated me? Do you think I'm cheating on you?! Moku why don't you feel the blood flowing in Nash's body with your dragon prana!!!"

Seeing Nevare's red face that looked like she was about to cry, Moku gasped and couldn't help but gape.

'What the hell woman?'

'Don't you see that I nearly die here?'

'Why don't we hug first and then fight second? Why always fight first and then love second?'

'Fuck! you really are an orc more than me'

Complaint after complaint began to appear in Moku's heart. After knowing his true feelings for Nevare, Moku wants to restart their relationship and start making out like a normal couple.

However, it seems that it is very unlikely. Nevare is a chili lady; quick to explode, hot, and burning, but gives a new pleasure that is addicting.

Moku can only lament his life for falling in love with a woman like this. Even though at this time he wanted to smack his wife's forehead, Moku held it back.

Nevare is currently having a misunderstanding, he understands because she still thinks like a human. The difference in perspective and culture of life between monsters and humans is very different. Sometimes this is what makes humans think of monsters as barbaric creatures.

In monster's culture inbreeding was commonplace, not only because of the basic desire to increase offspring more quickly but also because monsters didn't pose the same risks as humans (the child born with DNA defects).

Whereas what happened to the orcs was even more strange that it made it feel that orcs weren't actually a monster race. This made Moku very difficult to explain to Nevare.

"My love, can you please calm down first?" Moku answered Nevare's outburst with a bitter smile.

"What do you mean by that?"

An old couple like them can communicate without words. Nevare understood that there was a secret behind Moku's words so she suppressed her anger and waited for her husband to explain.

"Nash, can you call brothers Boku and Goku to come?"

"O.. Okay.. Bro.. brother" Nash was confused when the conversation suddenly turned to him.

He didn't understand what was going on and why his father had asked him to call him 'Brother' instead of 'Father' but he immediately rushed out of the Orc's Burrow.

"Well... where do I start to explain this? hmm..." wry smile creeps up on Moku's lips when he sees Nevare, who can't wait to hear the explanation.

Okay... hmm... first you have to understand that monsters and humans are two different species. We differ not only in outward appearance but also in internal organs. Because of that the metabolic system and everything that exists can be different from the two species..."

"So?" Nevare doesn't understand.

"So... it's only natural that the reproductive systems between the two species are also different. The reproduction method between goblins and humans is almost the same but for other monster races, it is very different. Even the reproduction method between one monster race and another monster race can be different so it can It's said that a race of monsters is a species unto itself..."

"Perhaps humans group the species in this world according to how close they are to mana. But if we look at it biologically the differences between one monster race and another race are vast, this difference even exceeds the difference between wood elves and mountain elves (mountain dwarves)..."

"Just an example between sylphs and other monster races..."

"Sylphs have a plant-like reproductive system where male sylphs spread their pollen for female sylphs to choose from. So a family system where there is a father and mother is foreign to sylphs. With so much pollen circulating during the mating season, it's impossible for a female sylph to be sure which male sylph's pollen is the father of her cubs..."

"Then we have another example, namely the alraune. Alraune reproduces by self-dividing. Even so, the child resulting from division must still be implanted into the soil to obtain nutrients. However, the genes and DNA used for the formation of the child come from prey or food from the alraune itself..."

"So the question arises who is the true father of the alraune? is it the soil where their child was planted? or is it from the prey they eat?"

"It's these differences that make the concept of 'family' so foreign to monsters. It's only natural for a race of monsters not to know the concept of 'father'..."

"So you're saying that the orc race also has a different way of reproduction than humans so they don't recognize the concept of fathers? But don't you think that alraune and sylphs themselves don't reproduce after going through the fertilization stage...or...or... I mean sex"

Nevare's face turned red when she said 'sex' which made Moku once again fall in love with his very cute wife. They have made love dozens of times, but this woman with one child is still as shy as a virgin.

'So cute!!'

"Well... You are right in saying that the orc race goes through a phase of fertilization or sex when reproducing. However, it could be said that the way the orc race reproduces is more similar to the way the alraune race reproduces than the goblin race reproduces!"

"Eh?"
