Beyond my spread legs, the doctor and midwife are watching over me.

Though I was bewildered by my first labor pains, I somehow managed to
endure the pain and push.

KarinF
Nya, ahh... nn... Is giving birth really this painful...?

It's far more painful than I ever imagined. Even so, I couldn't stop
pushing.

I have to give birth to the child in my belly. A sense of resolve and
duty wells up inside me.

The doctor and midwife are saying words of encouragement, but right
now, I can't make out a single thing they're saying.

Haa, haa... nn, igh... it hurts... The baby, nn, feels like it's
coming out of my belly, ahh guh...

Even when I look down at my own stomach, I have no idea what's going
on at the entrance.

Still, I can feel something big trying to come out from down there.

(This is so tough... Do all mothers in the world go through this kind
of pain?)

Thinking that, all I can feel is respect. I steady my breathing to be
worthy of joining their ranks.

KarinF
(I-I think this is how I'm supposed to do it...)

KarinF
Hee, hee, hoo... hee, hee, hoo...

I try out the breathing technique for childbirth that I heard about
somewhere.

Even so, I'm still a kunoichi. I have more confidence in my pain
tolerance than your average housewife.

Seeing me steady my breathing, the doctor and midwife tell me to keep
it up.

I-I know what I'm doing... ugh, nyaah... It's about to come out...
ahhh, down there is even more...

It feels like my birth canal is stretching and getting wetter. The
sense that the baby is about to come out makes me tremble.

There's pain, but at the same time, a strange sense of release. I keep
pushing, feeding off that feeling.

KarinF
Hah, agh, nn, it's coming... ah, aagh...! Amazing, nn, ah, fuu, it's
about to come out...!

With one final push, I put all my strength into it. Suddenly, with a
slippery sensation, all the pain is released.

KarinF
Nn-ah, agh, nn, fuh, uguuuu! I-it's born\ogu, I did it, it's
born\nkuu!

I finally felt the sensation of giving birth. The doctor and midwife
catch the baby.

DoctorF
The baby's out! This is... but, cat ears...?

The baby I gave birth to must have inherited my blood\looks like it's
a nekomata yokai child.

//I
//KarinȀꍇ
DoctorF
T-this is... a monster's... No, b-but in any case, congratulations...

Apparently, the baby I gave birth to has monster blood. Considering
that's why I got pregnant in the first place, it's only natural.

//I
I was allowed to hold my newborn in my arms. Maybe because it's my
first time giving birth, I feel an overwhelming love.

KarinF
(Ahh... this is my baby... No matter what kind of child it is, they're
adorable...)

The newborn baby is crying. Even that crying face somehow resembles
me.

Feeling once again that this is truly my child, I never wanted to let
go of this precious little one.
