## Chapter
- number: 97
- release_date: 2025-03-05

### Summary
Shifting dramatically from the previous chapter's life-or-death crisis, the story moves into a tender and overwhelmingly domestic scenario. The central event involves Yunifer "borrowing" a young, cute fire mage named Nathan to "play house" with Ishid. Readers universally interpret this as Yunifer's deliberate, albeit indirect, attempt to signal her desire for a baby, especially after she was shown observing Ishid take a birth control potion. While a minority of readers view her actions as manipulative and prefer direct communication, the overwhelming response is delight at the "family vibe" and cuteness. A significant point of praise is Ishid's characterization; bucking the trope of the jealous male lead, he is gentle and paternal with Nathan, leading readers to believe he would be a great father despite his own trauma being the likely reason for his use of birth control. The chapter, which apparently takes place after a two-year time skip since their marriage, solidifies Yunifer's proactive turn away from the original novel's plot as she now actively engineers a future and family of her own making.
