Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me

[Scanning Host’s physical condition...]

[Given Host’s current stage of pregnancy and overall fitness level, this system recommends:]

[Light stretching, walking, and basic bodyweight exercises]

[Nothing strenuous]

[No heavy lifting, no running, no climbing]

[(◕‿◕✿)]

[This system is pleased Host is taking her health seriously for once]

’ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!’

Tera nearly stood upright.

[ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ]

[This system never took Host to be this lazy]

[Are these exercises too much for—]

’The fuck?! Don’t underestimate me!’

’I am not some helpless, heavily pregnant blob of fat. If anything, this is high time for me to get some heavy workouts in before I become heavily pregnant!’

And she needed something to do.

A light workout was not going to keep her strong enough in time for delivery.

[( ◕▿◕ )]

[Oh?]

’Don’t oh me, you silly thing!’

[=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)]

Tera glared up at the screen.

’Those are fine, and I could most certainly need them for later, but I need something more intense.’

[This system does not think it is a good idea for Host to do rigorous exercises—]

’Alright then.’ Tera sighed. ’I guess I am just going to not build up my strength at all and let two strong beast cubs from strong males rip out this shiftless female from the inside out during delivery.’

[( ˶°ㅁ°) !!]

’It was nice knowing you—’

[ENOUGH! This system has gotten your point!]

Tera held back an evil smirk.

[ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )]

[Give this system a few minutes to come up with suitable exercises]

Tera clapped her hands together. ”Wonderful!”

Minutes later, and after memorising some of the routines the system had given her, Tera picked a flat, open spot near the edge of the settlement where the morning sun was warm but not harsh.

Before she could do anything, Xavi appeared at her side with the predictable regularity of a very large and warm shadow.

’Oh no...’

”You should eat,” he started, eyeing her with a suspicious look.

”I ate an hour ago.”

”Then you should drink.”

”I drank twenty minutes ago.”

”Then you should rest.”

”I have been resting. All day. For days.” Tera gestured at the bustling settlement. ”I am going to lose my mind if I sit around any longer.”

Xavi’s ears twitched with concern. ”Ermin is bringing you more fruit. You can rest until he arrives.”

Tera straightened so abruptly that Xavi took a step back in surprise. ”I am not resting anymore. I am going to exercise.”

Xavi’s face went through several expressions in quick succession. Confusion, understanding, and then alarm. ”Exercise? What does that mean?”

It had been a while since she had used such strange words.

Tera’s brows shot up in surprise, equally matching his.

Didn’t they know what exercise was?

’How does he not know?!’

[(눈‿눈)]

[You think these physically active beasts are on the same level as your former kind?]

[ ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ ]

[Don’t humans have to be reminded and even forced to do anything active?]

’Shattap!’

Tera smiled, already planting her hands on her hips and twisting around. ”It means I want to move around and get active.”

Xavi’s eyes widened in understanding. ”You are with cub!”

”I am pregnant, not paralysed.”

”You need to rest—”

”I need to not lose my mind.” Tera pouted and glared up at him with the full force of her frustration. ”My body is weak. You said so yourself. If I want to be strong enough to carry these cubs and give birth safely, I need to move. Strong body, strong babies. That is basic biology.”

”Biology?” He frowned. He then repeated slowly, as if testing the logic, ”Strong body, strong babies.”

Tera nodded. ”Exactly. I need to exercise, Xavi.”

Her eyes softened, and she leaned against him, gently touching him and letting her breasts mush up against his arm, which made him stiffen at attention.

”Hmm... though, I wouldn’t mind another form of exercise.” She blinked coyly at him.

[∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?]

[HOST!]

Xavi looked genuinely worried, his desire fading as he properly looked at her. ”The cub...”

’What the fuck?!’

[ꉂꉂ◟(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅๑)༡]

Tera was shocked.

Did this mean they were not going to have sex with her until she was no longer pregnant?!

Depending on the beast, each species had between four and six months to deliver their babies. But with Tera being shiftless, the system had confirmed that she would be due in six months.

That was too long!

These men would not deny her this!

Tera grumbled and stepped away from Xavi. She would have to properly prioritise working out so she would be able to convince these men that she would not die from some action.

That would show them!

[Why is Host suddenly so motivated?]

[( ╹ -╹)?]

”I need to do this so I will be strong enough to deliver the cubs—cub.” Tera cleared her throat, hoping the slip went unnoticed. ”I am weak, Xavi. If I continue to remain weak, I might not survive the birth since they would be a beast like you and Ermin.”

That was more than enough to convince Xavi. His eyes suddenly gleamed with acceptance, and he nodded his head.

”Good. That is very good. Then, do so. I do not want you to die.”

Tera smiled.

It would also be good to let him know she would need sex to improve the health of her womb.

’Hehehehehe...’

[( `−ㅿ−´)]

[What is wrong with Host?]

Xavi then paused. ”Ermin will not be happy. I will explain to him.”

”Good. He can even join me if he is not convinced.”

Ermin, as it turned out, did not want to join her.

When Xavi had quickly left to attend to something, Ermin had arrived with an armful of fruit just as Tera was beginning her stretches, and the look on his face was one of utter betrayal. ”You are moving. Deliberately. Without needing to.”

He seemed so baffled, and Tera was just as baffled because she was barely even doing anything.

It was even possible he would self-combust if he ever saw the other movements she had planned.

”I am exercising. It’s for my health.”

”You are growing cubs inside you. That is health enough.”
