Chapter 445: The Strange Egg

-----

Ruby was with us due to the accessories I had crafted for her. By wearing them around her body, she can camouflage her long and sharp ears, her crimson-red eyes, and her oddly pale skin, so she ends up having emerald eyes, more healthy-looking skin, and no pointy ears, essentially looking like a human girl.

I know that Vampires are the biggest targeted race in the world, so I did this for her, not because I dislike her normal appearance or something… In fact I believe those features is what makes Vampires so unique and pretty.

Anyways, aside from these things, we went back to the palace as the night was already fallen. I pretty much ended spending this day doing heartwarming stuff, not like I really mind it…

It was already Day 188 and so many things happened… I just wanted to go sleep cuddling with my Benladann-chan and have a nice and relaxing sleep. Who cares about the dark shadow sect anyways?

Well… I do. I should interrogate the souls we captured, but I wasted this day doing all sorts of unnecessary activities that bring no production at all, but that I really ended enjoying a lot. you know, sometimes you gotta just relax and have slow life days in your life…

Well, I have them all the time?! Well yes, but… I always need some more.

We moved back to the palace and then we had a nice dinner there, we ate a lot of more Japanese food and then back to bed. Benladann's belly was growing a tiny bit bigger each day, making her look very adorable as a mommy.

I hugged her and we slept peacefully. No lewd stuff.

[Day 189]

Today in the morning I woke up with a lot of spirits and revitalized, and I suddenly remembered something else I had picked up from the treasury of the inheritance from the ancestor of the sect, an egg!

Indeed, there was a small dragon egg, I didn't knew how to make it hatch though, but it seemed to contain some life signs inside, although very faint.

I took it out of my shadow storage because my inventory couldn't really save living beings, and this egg was very much alive, even though it looked like a very finely made piece of jewelry for some.

I asked the System to give me a detailed explanation of the egg alongside some methods to make the creature inside hatch, or anything, really.

How odd… is that it?

"Oh… Yukihime, Mikoto. Come explain this thing to me" I said.

The two ghosts showed up, looking at the egg with surprised eyes.

"Wait, you actually put one of my children in your treasury, Yukihime?!" asked Mikoto.

"W-What's wrong with that? They're our little treasures after all!" said Yukihime.

"You can't just treat my own child like that!" sighed Mikoto.

"W-What's wrong? Can you explain?" I sighed.

The two looked at one another and sighed.

"You see, that one is an experiment we made…." Said Yukihime.

"Don't dare call my children an "Experiment"! Actually, now that I can, I will raise him." said Mikoto, taking away the egg from my hand and grabbing it with her draconic claws, gently taking care of it.

"Experiment?" I asked.

"Well yes and no… I used some special magic, formations, and alchemy with her, and she managed to lay a special egg that is half dragon and half spirit, the first Moonlight Spirit, actually!" said Yukihime.

"Wait, what? For real?!" I asked.

"Yeaaah, for realsies. You know? There is actually no Moonlight Spirits in this world because it is just a branch of Light magic, therefore, not a real standalone element, so it doesn't have an unique spirit. This was an experiment to make a powerful moonlight spirit that was also strong as a dragon… and that came out. But there was a problem, it never hatched and it still sleeping even now. We don't know how to hatch it, it has been like that for almost a thousand years." Said Yukihime.

"I see… Maybe like the other dragon eggs, it is just looking for the right owner… meaning me!" I said.

"Nope, you can't, you already touched it and there was no reaction, you're not worthy." Said Mikoto.

"Ugh… Just give me back that egg, its mine! You're already dead so its an orphan, I will take care of the kid for you…!" I sighed.

"Let it be! No! Ugh…!" Mikoto resisted but that egg was mine now. I wasn't a child kidnaper or something, the egg didn't seem to even have a soul inside, so maybe if I infused a soul piece of my own soul, I could make that soul piece reincarnate into a powerful half spirit and half dragon clone!

Oi, that sounds awesome, why don't I just do that?

However, Benladann suddenly woke up and startled us.

"Ugh, will you twos top making such a fuss?!" she asked, as she suddenly touched the egg and the egg slipped off our grasp.

"T-The egg!" I cried, as I jumped to catch it. Mikoto did so too, but we… barely didn't made it!

CRACK!

The egg ended falling over the floor, and cracked into pieces.

Ugh…

But… instead of yolk and a fetus, what came out was… little feet and a cute little tail waving around?!

"Graaaooo!"

The dragon was actually born!
