Volume 1 - Ch 13
When the long spring break ends, Ill be in my second grade.
On the first day of the new school term, Im holding on a big egg as I look around.
Its 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 didnt 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.
Its a dragon egg; I got it a while ago on vacation.
Wait, I dont think you can get a dragon egg . Are you going to hatch it?
Thats my plan, I need to talk to his Majesty, though.
As for the joke, its 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 didnt 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, its 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, Alicias 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 dont think there will be a restriction that I can only go to the place Ive 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.
Dont 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, its like my child, and I have no intention of mistreating them like a monster.
Adorable?
Yeah, Im sure they will be born into an adorable dragon. Thats right; I have to think about their name.
Is that so? Are you attempting to create the worlds strongest dragon?
He shrugs off, what is he talking about?
Its my child, of course, it will become the worlds 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 girls room? No, I dont 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, theres 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! Its 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 Im saying Yumielas child is ugly, but its cool in a terrifying way. So
Patrick said my child is cool, but for me, its
Cute!
What a lovely child! Its about the size of a middle-sized dog, with a big mouth and big eyes, theres 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 its cute; then its alright I must admit they look divine.
Patrick seemed to say something, but I just gather my child and embrace them. The baby dragons face is buried in my chest, purring their throat like a cat.
Patrick! Its purring like a cat.
But it sounds like a growl
While stroking the small dragons throat gently, I thought about their name. Ive been trying to find them a name but havent found the best one.
Your name is um, Dragon Ryuu
Doesnt Ryuu sounds good?
Eh, Ryuu is that so?
He suggested a good idea. Its 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 dont know how to tell the sex of a dragon, but I felt like he was a boy, so its kind of suit him.
Ryuu your name is Ryuu.
As if he can understand the words Im 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 cant breathe fire inside the room, okay?
Ryuu roared again, but he didnt 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 cant do that. Oh, Patrick, I need to put Ryuu to sleep, so thats 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 wont fit in the room anymore, and I will think about the rest after Ryuu has grown.
Right. Stay safe, okay? Dont die.
Thats 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, Im delighted with my childrens growth, but I had a hard time getting Ryuu out of my room.
