The Record of Orc Civilization

Anna looked at Moku's trembling eyes. He was like someone who had just remembered something very important.

Her hunch was right, Moku had completely forgotten something very important.

That is 'If you fuck a woman then they can get pregnant'.

Moku spent his youth in the west in his previous life and he really forgot such a simple thing.

He forgot that women in this world didn't have birth control pills or a magic tool that can make a man have fun without taking responsibility like a condom.

For the first time in his two lives Moku will have a child. Although Moku criticizes orcs in parenting or the treatment of pregnant women, he himself has no direct experience in either of these.

He put down what he was carrying and walked over to Anna.

Moku then stroked Anna's head and stuttered, "A..An..Anna, a..a..are y..yo..you okay?"

Moku opened and closed mouth like a fish try to catch his breath and his shaking hands like didn't know where to put it made Anna want to laugh.

All her doubts and fears disappeared like foam on the ocean.

She felt funny looking Moku, who was even more panicked than herself.

"I'm fine Moku" Anna replied in a calm voice.

"D..do..do you need doctor?.... Shit there is no doctor here!

do you hungry? how about satay?... Shit pregnant women have a hard time eating meat!

do you want to eat something? like a green mango?... Shit there's no mango tree near here...

The last mango tree I saw was in that mutated animal territory...

Wait here a moment I will kill that stupid gorilla..."

Moku wanted to stand up and eradicate the gorilla who was blocking his way to get the green mango but his hand was held by Anna who was trying hard to holding back a laugh.

"Moku I'm really fine" Anna said.

"R..re..really?" Moku stuttered.

Anna couldn't hold back her laughter anymore after seeing Moku's face which was always serious and smirking cynically turned into a gaping disbelief.

"Hahahahaha I'm fine, I'm healthy, hahahaha... really, I just feel a little nauseous... it's okay and I'm not hungry or want to eat green mangoes"

"oh.. o..okay" Moku sat back down.

But his eyes kept a close watch on Anna's every move. He looked with great care, even more so when he saw Anna's naked body.

Whenever Anna slightest moved, Moku will immediately stood up and asked 'what's wrong?', 'Are you in pain?', 'Are you hungry?', 'do you want green mango?', or 'That damn gorilla! I will kill you this time!'

Which in the end made Anna feel annoyed.

"Moku stop it! I'm really fine! Don't you have any other work? You're the chief of this tribe, right?" Anna snaps.

"It's okay, today's hunt I leave it to Mige, it's not good if the orcs are too dependent on me" Moku replied.

"Okay, then can't you calm down a little? You embarrassed me in front of the other girls!"

The girls who were enjoying this rom-com show were surprised when Anna bring them to it.

Moku glanced at them with a sharp gaze.

Their faces turned pale, especially Lina who had just mocked Moku and Anna at the bathhouse.

"Stop that. They helped me when I was vomiting and had a headache at the bathhouse" Anna objected.

"Hmm.."

Moku sharp eyes turn soft and he nodded towards the girls to show his gratitude.

The girls nodded back.

Moku turned and continued watching Anna's every move with great care.

Seeing Moku who was so cold to the girls but so caring and worried about her, made Anna wonder.

'What's so special about me?'

That question often crossed her mind. At first, Anna thought that Moku just picked her at random and would treat her like an orc treats his woman.

But the worry and anxiety he showed when he found out that she was pregnant made her feel warm in her heart.

Anna decided to ask

"Why did you choose me?"

"What do you mean?" Moku asked back.

Anna pushed herself to sit up and looked into Moku's red eyes seriously.

"Why do you treat me more special than other girls?... eee... d..di..did you fall in love with me at first sight?" Anna asked seriously but her last question made her blush.

"Because you are a warrior and I respect a warrior" Moku immediately replied with a matter of fact tone.

Anna was dumbfounded, "Warrior? Me?... ha ha ha ha" then turned gloomy and laughed languidly.

Warrior huh?

No one calls her that.

'I told you not to be a mage! You're an adult! You'll be 20 years old soon! You want to be a spinster? Huh!?' She heard Gilbert's angry voice.

A woman who will become a spinster,

'Anna you have no talent, don't be like a wild woman who can only swing a sword!

You better start learning how to walk and dress up, if you continue like this you'll grow old in a virgin state!' The voices of friends who advised then left her alone one by one.

A wild woman who can only swing a sword,

'Anna you will become a woman who can only dream of being a mage if you only know how to swing a sword...

What if you marry me and I promise to ask my parents to buy you a [Mana Potion]... How about it?' The voice of a masher who only saw her beauty.

A woman who can only dreaming,

'This is your sword, right? Your training sword. Do you really want to become a mage huh?

HAKAHAKAHAKAHAKAHAK!!!' The voice of Bon's terrible laugh when seeing her broken sword.

or A woman with a broken sword.

The reality is crueler than nightmare.

Anna lowered her head, her eyes hot, and her throat constricted.

Moku just kept quiet and waited for Anna to continue talking.

His serious gaze awaited Anna like the night waiting for the sun to come.

Whatever happens Moku knows Anna isn't that weak.

Warrior huh? its reality or just another nightmare?

Anna lifted her head with teary eyes.

"I'm not a warrior...

I just an arrogant girl who don't know her place,

I just a dreamer girl who swing her sword just to become an imaginary mage.

I don't even have a talent,

If sword is heart of warrior, than I that broke my sword is not fit to call myself a warrior anymore"

Moku and Anna looked at each other, until Moku wiped her tears and started to speak in a firm voice,

"You are a warrior, there is no doubt about that!

Warrior is not about talent or swordplay,

Warrior is about spirit, an unyielding spirit,

a spirit that will never be extinguished even though it is destroyed by various obstacles,

a spirit that continues to shine even though it has to walk alone amidst the ridicule.

The sword is not a physical object, the sword is a mental one that remains sharp and firm in your heart. I know someone who is a warrior even though she is very weak and coward.

I never doubt you are a warrior as much as she is."

Bulan is a weak woman she can't even lift more than 5kg. She was also a coward, she would run for her life just from the sound of wind at night.

Her dangerous and deviant experiments make her shunned by friends, family, and people around her.

Failure after failure continued to befall upon her, even until the end of her life Bulan could not reach her dream, but she just smiled and laughed while waiting for death to pick her up.

Bulan's eyes that continued to shine in the face of it all were the same eyes that Anna had when he first saw her.

Anna and Moku stared at each other, Moku's eyes blazing with seriousness burning the doubt and despair in her eyes.

Anna rested her head on his chest and Moku hugs her.

"Thank you" Anna whispered.

"I'm not praising just stating the truth" Moku replied.

"Still... thank you"

"I don't know why, but I accept it"

Moku and Anna let go of their hug.

They looked at each other again.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Then they burst out laughing.

Until Moku asked,

"But Anna, you said about swing swords and mages, what is the relationship between swords and mages? I mean how do humans become mages?"

Anna was silent and stunned, she thought for a moment before answering.
