Daiki and Tatsumaki were both speechless after they had seen the little ant princess transform into a little girl who has both of their features.
"How is this even possible?!!" Tatsumaki was already losing her mind as to how the ant princess transformation was possible.
"It could be like how some animals lay their eggs in some other animal's nest for them to take care of their child until they grow up but this is only possible due to odor or pheromones or if the step parent is dumb enough or we can just chalk it up to magic" Daiki quickly tried to explain how such a thing was possible by making inferences to animals back in their original world but also stated the possibility of it being possible due to magic.
"Wait, that actually happens?!!" Tatsumaki was quite surprised by the information that Daiki had dropped.
"I don't exactly remember the details but there is a species of Moths or Butterflies that lays their eggs inside an ants hill then let their children be taken care of like monarchs by the ants due to the pheromone that the larva releases which are extremely similar to a larvae that is meant to be a queen and since ants identify things by their odor not size, touch, or sight they in turn are tricked until the larvae losses this Ability due to it maturing but sadly only a small portion can survive once the ants notices that they had been tricked" Daiki said while the two girls were quietly listening to him.
"She looks familiar..." Tatsumaki tried her hardest to remember where she saw her but is failing miserably.
"I thought a mother could never mistake who her children are no matter the changes" Daiki said while Tatsumaki's eyes widened in surprise since now she knows where she saw her, she is one of the children she saw in her oracles.
Tatsumaki started crying as she gently and warmly hugged the little girl who wiped the tears off of Tatsumaki's cheeks which made Daiki smile and embrace the two.
Volk and Volpe were already on the second floor and were just about to reach the end when they saw the scene. Volk's cheeks started twitching due to not being able to comprehend about what had happened while Volpe had opened her jaws wide due to the unbelievable scene in front of her.
'How can she give birth first?! she wasn't even pregnant when she came in here!!!' Volpe then unjustly fainted while Volk was squashed by her due to trying to catch soften her fall but his injuries started aching once again due to it, he should have not underestimated the weight of Volpe and his developing child.
"Tat- Daiki tell me about what happened here" Volpe commanded, she wanted for Tatsumaki to explain since she is her student but decided to cancel that plan as she herself is going to be a mother so she decided to ask the sensible Daiki.
"Yes Mam! It had been a year and a half after we had entered, the slimes on the first floor proved to be quite the formidable enemies even if their stats were reduced by Sixty percent" Daiki had lied like it was nothing new to him since he had been honing that special skill ever since the dawn of time.
Volpe didn't doubt a single thing he had said as well as Volk who was too tired to do pretty much anything. Daiki wasn't even giving any visual clues that could hint at him of lying.
'You are a lier' Tatsumaki sent the message to Daiki in Morse code by using magic ripples.
'Volk-sensei has the power to absorb anyone else's power, you think he will let go of her once he found out?' Daiki asked in return and his magic ripple were like lines instead of a gentle circle signifying his stern take on the matter.
Tatsumaki gasped once she heard it and became extremely cautious, Volpe was quite confused by this but blamed it a motherly instincts since they are in a dangerous environment after all.
"Let me take care of the baby until you conquered this dungeon, you must not have the supplies in order to feed her" Volpe said but Daiki went in front of Tatsumaki and the ant princess, shielding them.
"I have plenty of food, clothes and baby gear inside my storage space so it is not necessary to trouble our teachers with such a small matter besides I am the man of the house, it is my job to protect my family" Although he didn't shout, release his chi or mana Volpe was still overwhelmed by Daiki's speech. In Volpe's perspective Daiki had just turned into an existence similar to Volk's master, gentle and warm but then Cold and emotionless when protecting the ones he cares about which nearly made her faint due to remembering the scaring decisions their teachers made in order to protect them.
'He sees us as his enemies...' Volpe is not dumb, of course any new parent will be extremely protective of their children.
Volpe respected the two's decision and dragged Volk out of the dungeon with her.
"Any idea on what her name is going to be?" Tatsumaki asked while Daiki started thinking.
"None, you?" Daiki asked back since everybody knows that he is horrible at coming up with names.
"Same here, I am clueless on what I want to name her..." Tatsumaki also started thinking.
"Anne!!/Natalia!!!" Tatsumaki and Daiki respectively shouted at the same time.
"Eh?" Daiki was quite confused as he felt that Tatsumaki wanted to get the ire of her daughter in the future once she knew about her lineage.
"Don't look at me like that, Anne is a pretty great name!!" Tatsumaki argued while Daiki could only shake his head.
"Tatsumaki, you do know that she is a ant kid that we are going to adopt and even if she won't ever know about the truth in her whole life think about it if she accidentally does and think, 'Mama and Papa why did you give me such a name?!! is it because I am not really your daughter and just a disgusting ant?!! I hate you!!!' with tears falling down her cheeks" Daiki acted the whole scene which broke Tatsumaki's heart once she understood what Daiki meant since Anne sounds like Ant.
"I'm a terrible mother, I'm sorry!!" Tatsumaki shouted while hugging the ant princess while the said baby only looked confused and tried to cheer up Tatsumaki by smiling and laughing in a cutesy manner.
"I think she doesn't mind but better be safe than sorry" Daiki said as he gently rubbed the baby's head.
The baby puffed up her cheeks and slapped Daiki's hand away and started comforting Tatsumaki once again while Daiki was dumbfounded.
'Dear, I was helping you yet I am already treated as a nuisance even when your still only a baby!!' Daiki wanted to retort but only felt defeated.
