It has been a few hours since I left Luofu and I'm riding my sparrow [Eira's Grace] in a forest a bit far from the human city I wanted to go to.
now you may ask why I haven't gone there already.
[Meliodas why aren't we going to the human city yet] asked Merlin.
nevermind the robot asked.
"for three reasons my good friend, first I want to scout out the place before I go in. I'm strong but you never know when we will encounter somebody stronger and will have to run."
"second i want to do some summoning that could do now" Through the years i decided to save up Gacha tickets to a whopping 23 of them until i started my travels. i couldn't get many from Quest since I was stuck in the same place.
"Third I'm finding a good place" I explained.
[Finding a good place for what? camping perhaps since we do not have any currency to stay at an inn]
"Nope, it's to find a good place to hatch my dragon eggs"
[...]
[Can you repeat that last part again] he said with a shaky voice.
"you mean the dragon egg part?"
[YOU HAVE DRAGON EGGS!!!] he shouted.
"no need to scream Merlin and yes I do have dragon eggs, two of them actually
[TWO OF THEM!] he shouted once again making me close my ears as this time he was louder.
[What type are they, how do they look like, when did you get them!] he said as he started to barrage me with questions.
"Alright, Alright calm down Merlin," I said as I tried to calm him down.
seeing that he did calm down I stopped my ride in a clearing and I reached into my storage and took out an egg that had a bumpy and rough exterior and was colored half white and red.
[W-what type of dragon is it] he asked as he stuttered in excitement.
"Well it's called a Disufiora Elder Dragon"
[Disufiora Dragon egg, what does it do and why the 'Elder Dragon' part on its name] he asked with obvious excitement.
obviously, i obliged my little friend and explained "The Disufiora is a type of dragon that has a special element called frozen Seraphim which is a combination of its ability to control ice, fire, and its own special dragon elements into one unique element of his own." I explained
"And the elder dragon title is because, for dragons of these types, they have their own type of classification because once grown the very appearance of them is enough to cause natural phenomena and disasters."
"And this is the egg of one of those walking disasters" Finishing my words I could visibly see that he was shaken by my information
he's probably thinking something like 'And you're holding that walking disaster in your hands!'
[I s-see and where did you get it from]
"the same way I got you" i answered back
[Ah!] he said in realization since he probably forgot even though he has near near-perfect memory.
[But why now, shouldn't we do it after we go in and out if the human city] he asked with worry.
"yes we could do that, but I've held out on hatching them for a long time, and this won't be the last time we go into a human settlement so we have to get used to it."
"Plus i can just use some Concealment seal on it or i could even use my light manipulation to make an illusion of it looking like a puppy" Hearing my explanation he nodded in understanding.
[So what now?] he asked.
"Well, I was looking for a good clear spot here in the forest and were already on it".
saying those words I took out a ton of talismans that had my magic circles drawn on them and stuck them on the trees around us.
I activated them and a light blue hue appeared around us like a dome until it died down completely.
the talisman I made has both a hide and conceal effect wich makes it so no one outside the dome can see inside also if the egg hatch causes a huge energy burst, no one will feel it outside the dome.
I placed the egg in the middle of the clearing and stepped away far from it.
"Get over here," I told Merlin.
hearing my words he flew towards me and hid behind me though his lense was still peeking over my shoulder.
I whet through my storage and took out the [blue rose] sword and activated its [Enhance Armament] as I stabbed it into the ground creating a thick wall of ice between the egg and the two of us.
"You ready" I asked Merlin with excitement.
[As ready as il ever be] he said with excitement matching my own.
looking in front of me I saw a little panel from the system asking me a question. though seeing it gives me slight PTSD.
[Would you like to hatch the Disufiora Elderr Dragon egg: Y/N]
Obviously, I clicked on the yes...on purpose this time and the atmosphere around us started to drop to extreme levels.
looking back to the egg I saw that it was starting to gain cracks around itself and just the mere coldness leaking from those cracks was making the temperature drop to this degree.
I and Melrin started to freeze slightly for a few minutes until the temperature suddenly changed and started to get hot once again the egg was the cause for these changes.
but the egg didn't hatch but started to melt gaining a bright red aura around it which I'm guessing is just the immense heat radiating from it.
After a bit of immense heat, the never-melting ice that I summoned saved us from becoming roasted chicken.
But... all that was left was a black puddle-looking rock left over from the Melten Egg.
[Um where is it?] Merlin asked in confusion.
"I don't know let's go and check" I replied back with confusion rivaling his.
I retracted [Blue Rose] and hung it on my waist. I started to walk closer and closer to the black mess of a rock that was left on the ground.
Finally reaching it me and merlin looked at each other and he nodded.
a light came out of his lens as he started to use his scan skill but as he did the deformed molten rock started to crack until a small figure came out of it.
She was a small girl that looked around seven or eight years old. she had long white hair with purple-ish tips, blue eyes, two white horns on each side of her head, and finally a long thin tail with a little fluff ball at its tip.
'... it's definitely Kanna Kamui from Dragon Maid' I thought inwardly.
I remember her from an anime I liked a lot back at home about a dragon that became a maid to a normal human. and Kanna was one of the friends that hung around the normal human apartment.
[Um Meliodas isn't she supposed to look more... dragon-ish] asked Meliodas with an awkward voice.
"Yeah I was thinking the same thing, a Disufiora isn't supposed to look this... cute"
Yeah, this definitely wasn't supposed to happen.
As me and Merlin was discussing how weird this was. The little dragons started to look around as if looking for something.
As her sight finally reached us her little cute eyes shone.
"✨Papa!✨" she said with excitement even though her face was stoic as her counterpart.
[Pfft, p-papa hahahaha!!!!] Merlin hearing her words tried to keep himself from laughing but couldn't in the end.
Though I on the other hand "✨Papa!✨" I said with excitement.
[...] (MERLIN)
Geez she to cute! And the excitement with that stoic face of hers gives her some sort of cute bonus.
The girls I raised back on Mondstat grew up to fast so I couldn't enjoy the happiness of having a cute little daughter.
But now I do have one hahaha!
I went up close to her and kneeled down to her level. As I did I reached out both my arms and said "✨come here✨"
To my words, she started to crawl out of the dry shell that she had melted into my arms.
'jeez, she's too cute!' Was the only thing I could think.
[Um well it seems like things when better than I thought they would, shouldn't we give her a name] he said with an awkward tone.
"Umu~ your right and I have the perfect name for her," I said with a bright smile.
[Really already?]
"Yup I already had one from the moment she was born... from now on your name will be Kanna Pendragon!" I said as I raised her into the air like Simba. She also cutely raised her arms as she was probably enjoying getting raised into the air.
[Hm Kanna Pendragon huh, I like it] said Merlin with Approval.
"Of course you do 'Uncle' Merlin" I teased him.
Hearing my words he shook as if lightning had suddenly struck him [U-uncle!] he stuttered.
Leaving the dazed Merlin by himself I looked over to Kanna and asked "Hey Kanna can you make ice"
Hearing my words she only tilted her head in confusion
'Dam everything she does is cute, but it seems she doesn't understand my words. Wonder how she knew the word papa though' I thought inwardly.
Seeing that she didn't understand me I drew a little magic circle into the air with my fingers and once it was finished, ice started to materialize out of thin air.
Looking back at Kanna her eyes widened and she raised her hand as a little bit of ice started to form on her hands though that little piece already made the temperature around us drop by a lot.
'dam her ice is this cold even when it's this little!, well I guess they don't call them walking disasters for nothing' I thought as I started to sweat in nervousness.
[Anyways I think we should start with the second egg now, but I'm guessing that whatever comes out of there will be the same as Kanna with your luck]
'Dam he's right, *sigh* all I wanted was a cool dragon ride but now I'm becoming a father again' I sighed inwardly
As I was holding Kanna in my arms I took out some talisman and put them on her back.
As they activated all of Kanna's dragon features the aura of a dragon emanating out of her disappeared or more like concealed but who cares about those details.
I reached out into my storage and took out another egg but this time it was a brown-colored egg with golden patterns around it.
[What type of dragon is it this time?]Merlin asked.
"I don't know, I found it here instead of summoning it so whatever comes out of this one is an unknown"
[I see so that's the case]
Putting down the egg in the middle of the clearing once again a notification appeared in front of me like when I was hatching Kanna.
[Would you like to hatch Unknown Dragon Egg:Y/N]
Pressing the yes button I prepared myself while protecting Kanna in case another natural phenomenon happened but... it didn't?
Looking back at the egg I could only see it slowly gaining cracks around itself until it shattered revealing a small child that looked the same age as Kanna.
He looked about 7 or 8 years old, had brown hair with gold tips, two yellow branch-looking horns on top of his head, scales that what around his arm, a small brown tail that signified he was a dragon, and the most prominent feature of all was his golden diamond shaped eyes.
[H-hey Meliodas his energy reading is off the charts!, it's almost the same as Kannas just that he radiates an insane amount of Geo elemental energy instead of Ice and Fire like Kanna.] he stuttered in shock.
"Fuck" I shouted.
[What's wrong Meliodas] Asked Merlin In Worry.
'looks like I'm the Lord of Geo's father now' I thought in an exasperated tone
Yup the baby that was right in front of me was none other than Rex Lapis the future Archon of Geo also known as Zhongli.
