Vol 1 Chapter 13: THE DRAGON EGG

When the long spring break ends, I’ll be in my second grade .

On the first day of the new school term, I’m holding on a big egg as I look around .

「It’s been a while Yumiela, eh… what is that? 」

「This is my child . I gave birth to them . 」

「Uh, with whom… wait, are you joking? 」

After a long time we didn’t see each other, I heard him asking about the dragon egg . He seemed to take my joke seriously for a moment before grabbing my shoulder with his hands and asking the question . I never expected him to be this flustered .

「It’s a dragon egg; I got it a while ago on vacation . 」

「Wait, I don’t think you can get a dragon egg… . Are you going to hatch it? 」

「That’s my plan, I need to talk to his Majesty, though . 」

As for the joke, it’s not wrong saying the egg is my child . Dragon hatched their laid eggs by feeding them with magic .

The more you feed it with magic, the stronger it will be when it finally hatched . The parents ate their food in a perfunctory manner and continued to supply them with magic . Just like what happened in Monford territory, the dragons attacking the livestock, something that they normally didn’t do .

The hatched child will recognize the person who feeds them the most like their parents, even if their parents are from a different race .

In other words, if a human managed to hatch a dragon egg, the hatched child will recognize the human as a parent . Among the monsters that are said to be never get tamed by a human, the only one that had potential been a dragon .

However, it’s challenging to obtain a dragon as a familiar . Even if you can get a dragon egg in your hands, feeding the egg with more magic than the original parents are not something that you can do . The proof is that the Kingdom of Balshine only had two dragons .

In the game, Alicia’s magic influenced the hatched dragon to become a light-type dragon . The dragon will grow up enough to be able to fly with party members .

Yeah, this is the event that I get thrust into; in the RPG, this is an event that brings up familiar transportation modes . I don’t think there will be a restriction that I can only go to the place I’ve been to like in the game, and this sounds very attractive to me .

Also, I want to fly, and it will be useful for traveling, and if anything happens, it will help me to escape .

「Even so, how should I say this… please do it moderately, it feels ominous . 」

Patrick said his impression about the egg, but saying it ominous is awful .

Sure, I worried that the egg would explode when I feed my magic into it, especially when it turns pitch black because of my dark magic, and the surrounding can feel the oppressive air .

「Don’t say nasty things to my child . My child is adorable… 」

I said that as I hugged the egg tightly in my arms .

At first, I thought the dragon would be a useful taxi, but as I carried it around with me during my long break, I gradually become attached to it . This child will be born from my magic, it’s like my child, and I have no intention of mistreating them like a monster .

「Adorable? 」

「Yeah, I’m sure they will be born into an adorable dragon . That’s right; I have to think about their name . 」

「Is that so? Are you attempting to create the world’s strongest dragon? 」

He shrugs off, what is he talking about?

「It’s my child, of course, it will become the world’s strongest dragon . 」

「…Aah, I see . I hope it will hatch safely . 」

He said that with a tired expression on his face before it went away .

It was the expression I often saw on his face when I did something, and he tried to point it out to me . Did I say something with lacking common sense without realizing it?

After that, I was recognized by the freshman as someone dangerous who carried egg around the academy . From time to time, I noticed the egg was moving . I thought it was about time, and perhaps the egg will hatch today or tomorrow .

I called Patrick to share this emotional moment .

「Please come in . Come to think of it; this is the first time I invited someone to my room . 」

「E-excuse me . 」

Patrick entered my room, looking shaken . Are you feeling shy about entering a girl’s room? No, I don’t think I was treated like a girl either .

We watched the egg while chatting about what happened over the break . However, just when I was about to give up the idea that the egg might not hatch today since it was already late, there’s some movement from the egg .

As the egg began to shake, little by little, the shell cracks .

「D-do your best! 」

As I cheered the egg, the movement became intense, and black hands burst out from inside .

「Finally! It’s here, Patrick! 」

I threw a fleeting glance at Patrick; he looks quiet but full of resolution . What makes you look so serious in the birth of my child?

It happened so quickly after I saw the hands . The dragon child broke through the egg and crawled out .

It seemed the child left a deep impression on Patrick when he said this in a worried tone .

「Ah—, I know Yumiela is expecting an adorable dragon, but… not that I’m saying Yumiela’s child is ugly, but it’s cool in a terrifying way . So— 」

Patrick said my child is cool, but for me, it’s…

「Cute! 」

What a lovely child! It’s about the size of a middle-sized dog, with a big mouth and big eyes, there’s even a sense of divinity in their figure . The color of the body is as black as my hair and eyes . A child that resembled their parent .

「If Yumiela thinks it’s cute; then it’s alright… I must admit they look divine . 」

Patrick seemed to say something, but I just gather my child and embrace them . The baby dragon’s face is buried in my chest, purring their throat like a cat .

「Patrick! It’s purring like a cat . 」

「But it sounds like a growl… 」

While stroking the small dragon’s throat gently, I thought about their name . I’ve been trying to find them a name but haven’t found the best one .  

「Your name is… um, Dragon… Ryuu… 」

「Doesn’t Ryuu sounds good? 」

「Eh, Ryuu… is that so? 」

He suggested a good idea . It’s easy naming the dragon Ryuu . There was no word Ryuu in this world, so it must have been what he heard .

I liked how Ryuu sounds . I don’t know how to tell the sex of a dragon, but I felt like he was a boy, so it’s kind of suit him .

「Ryuu… your name is Ryuu . 」

As if he can understand the words I’m saying, Ryuu gave a breath, roaring delightfully . When he aimed the fire breath at my face, I shake it off with my hand . I will harden my heart to train him .

「Ryuu, you can’t breathe fire inside the room, okay? 」

Ryuu roared again, but he didn’t breathe fire from his mouth anymore . What a clever boy! However, a black laser appeared from his eyes, and I twisted my neck, trying to dodge it .

「Hey, you can’t do that . Oh, Patrick, I need to put Ryuu to sleep, so that’s it for today . 」

「Oi, are you going to keep him in your room? 」

Before I noticed, Patrick already shrunk himself to the corner of the room . Is he the type of person who was terrible at interaction with animals?

「Of course, we are going to sleep together until he grows up . 」

Sooner or later, he won’t fit in the room anymore, and I will think about the rest after Ryuu has grown .

「Right . Stay safe, okay? Don’t die . 」

That’s what Patrick said before he left my room .

The next morning, I was awakened from the maid screams . Something happened when we were sleeping, Ryuu has grown bigger since .

They said that children grow up fast, but I never thought this fast…

First of all, I’m delighted with my children’s growth, but I had a hard time getting Ryuu out of my room .
