After that extraordinary event, I continued inside the dungeon, exploring the floors. Whenever a monster appeared, I asked my son to use the same ability to kill them.
Even after killing almost ten monsters, he showed no signs of fatigue. He was able to use that ability several times in a row without any problem.
Does he have infinite mana or something?
Normally, when someone uses magic or abilities too many times, they get tired—but he wasn't tired at all.
Even though he's just a child who was basically just born.
I smiled at him and said, "Good job, son. We can do this more times in the future if you want, but we have to hide this from your mother."
To be honest, I probably won't be able to hide it from her.
But whatever.
"DADADADADDA!"
My son smiled and waved his arms in an adorable way. He's so cute it's almost scary.
I need to give him a name now. I don't like calling him "son" or "my son" all the time. I need to talk to Freya about it. Honestly, I can't think of any good ideas right now.
I've always been terrible at naming things.
My game accounts always had bizarre names…
Speaking of that, I already have enough points to buy internet. I need to go back to my room and do that using the computer.
"Papa?"
"Hm? Ah, sorry, I was thinking about something unnecessary. I was thinking about the internet," I said. Since he doesn't know what I'm talking about, he looked very confused.
Should I show him what the internet is in the future?
I got my first computer when I was very young.
I'll wait for him to grow a little and then give him a computer. I think I can buy one using that shop.
But I'll have to put his computer in my room. It's the only place with electricity and power outlets.
"Are you ready to go back now? Are you hungry?"
He nodded in agreement.
"All right, I'll take you home."
It hasn't even been that long, and he's already hungry. Does the fact that he used his ability several times have something to do with this? Could it be Freya's milk that's making him so strong?
That's a very strong possibility.
He's the child of a goddess, and the milk of a goddess who supposedly shouldn't even be able to get pregnant must be extremely valuable.
How amusing.
Well, maybe the system also has something to do with his abilities, but the system won't give me any information about that. It only appears when it wants to give me a new quest or something like that.
So, while holding my son, I teleported us back to Freya's room.

POV: Freya
I opened my eyes and didn't see Luan or our son in my room.
"This exhaustion is killing me."
I stretched my body, which felt like it hadn't rested in days. Having a child is truly exhausting.
How unpleasant.
Even though he barely cries and is a good boy, it's still extremely tiring.
I got up and went to the bathroom.
I took a quick shower, and when I left the bathroom, I saw Luan sitting on my bed, playing with our son.
"You finally showed up. How long were you gone? What were you doing?"
"We were having fun, right?"
Luan raised his hand, and our son slapped his hand in response.
"HAHAHAHAHA."
He let out a very pleasant laugh.
I smiled and approached the bed, still undressed. I only had a towel wrapped around my body.
"Did you just wake up?"
"Yes. I feel so tired."
"I see…" Luan said, then fell silent.
"Why do you look like you're hiding something?"
Hearing my question, our son looked back and forth between us, then stared at Luan. He's definitely hiding something.
"I'm not hiding anything."
"You're lying."
"Can we talk about his name now? I don't want to keep calling him 'son.'"
"Don't change the subject."
I walked closer to the bed and looked Luan in the eyes.
"What did you do? Why did you look so thoughtful when I said I was tired?"
"About that…"
The words that came out of Luan's mouth next made me extremely angry.
Is he insane!?
####
POV: Luan
"I took our son to the dungeon. That's what I did."
Since I couldn't lie to her—and pretending to be clueless wouldn't work—I decided to tell her the truth. I might as well tell her about our son's abilities too.
Hearing my words, Freya stared at me for a few seconds. Her gaze was cold and extremely frightening.
I really did something I shouldn't have…
I forced a smile.
"Have you lost your mind!?" she shouted.
"How could you take our son to the dungeon!? What if something had happened to him!?"
"But I brought him back safely. Isn't that what matters?"
"Do you have no common sense!?"
Freya stepped closer, and her towel fell. But honestly, I'm not worried about looking at her naked body right now. I need to calm her down.
"Listen… I really did something stupid, but it's fine. I saw some interesting things, and—"
Freya's eyes filled with tears.
"Stop saying such stupid things! What if something unpredictable had happened and our son had died!? What would you have done? Would you have brought him back to life? Are you going to tell me you can do that too!?"
"…"
"I knew it! You've completely lost your mind. I can't believe this."
Freya wiped the tears from her eyes.
Seeing her act like this makes me feel deeply guilty.
I started to feel sick.
I stood up from the bed and approached her. When I tried to hold her hands, she pulled away from me.
"Don't touch me."
"Hey, you don't need to act like this."
"Idiot!"
"Yes, I am an idiot. I'm sorry, okay? I thought there wouldn't be any problem because I know my own strength. I was certain I could protect him if something happened."
"…"
"Please, let me tell you everything that happened in the dungeon. I won't hide anything from you."
"…"
