Chapter 79: The Egg of the Holy Dragon

The fluffy floating holy dragon egg came towards me slowly, as it was, I was not mistaken.

“What are we going to do?!”

I asked the three of them, flustered.

“It’s heading toward you brother!”

“Catch it, catch it!　Catch it with both hands!”

“Good luck, Julius!”

I was thinking hard, while I was mentally rebuking at Caro’s cheering. As I recall, in the game, you could go anywhere on its back.

The Holy Dragon is a useful tool for transportation, but it is a chargeable item. Anyone can get one as long as they pay for it. Of course, I had one myself. Therefore, its rarity is low.

While I was thinking about that, the holy dragon egg was floating in front of me as if to say, “Receive me.”

What?　Do I feel like I have to take this?　I looked at the three of them for help, but they were looking at me with expectant eyes.

Yeah, leave it! I contemplated and received the holy dragon egg with both hands. I feel a definite weight in my hands. Along with it, I felt something pulsating.

“Julius, how is it?”

“Something is about to be born.”

“How can it be born?”

“Well, if you give it magic power, it might be born.”

Watch out, watch out. I was about to be questioned as to how I knew. Besides, it doesn’t have to be me who gives the magic power. Yeah, that’s a good idea. Let’s have Chloe or Caro take over. That way, we can put the burden on one of the two of them.

“If I give it magic power, it will be born?　Let’s do it!”

“Chloe, are you okay?”

Caro is asking Chloe with an anxious look. Is it so? Caro doesn’t know what kind of egg this is, does she? There is a possibility that a dangerous creature could be born inside.

Ad

…… I see, there is a way to make her give up on this line of thought. Ushshshi.

“Chloe, Caro is right. We don’t know what this egg is. What are you going to do if some horrible creature is born?　You shouldn’t ……”

[die …… butterfly die ……”

“Kya!”

The three of them shouted loudly at the voice that directly echoed in my head. Then they tightened up my body without question. Oh no…… I’m going to be torn apart…… what power. Eeeee, these three girls are monsters!

The voice must have been heard all the way down the aisle. The shadowy presence that had been secretly watching over us came to us with a bloodthirsty look on its face.

“Your Highness, Your Highness!　Are you all right!?　Ah!”

“Ah, ah …… eh?　Who are you?”

Chloe, who had regained her senses, recognized the presence. The shadowy figure was puzzled. The shadowy figure, who looked embarrassed, looked at me as if asking for my help.

“Um, I happened to find a hidden passageway and found this egg at the end of it. Then I heard this egg’s voice directly in my head. ……”

I explained to the shadowy figure in a hushed tone. He seemed somewhat convinced.

“What?　The sad voice we just heard was coming from this egg?”

“The voice came from the egg ……?”

Chloe and Caro are confused. That’s not so surprising. You wouldn’t normally think you could hear voices coming from an egg.

“Brother, what kind of egg is this?”

“huh?　I have no idea. ……”

“Julius, show me that egg.”

Chloe peered into my hands. I’m not sure. I’m sure that Chloe might have the “appraisal” skill. If the egg’s identity is revealed, all hell will break loose. I want to get out of here right now.

“Wait a minute, this egg is called the ‘Egg of the Holy Dragon’!　It’s really in this castle!”

“The Egg of the Holy Dragon?”

“Was it really here?”

Apparently, Caro did not know anything about the holy dragon. And if there really was one, then there must be a legend of a holy dragon in the royal family.

“That’s right. A long time ago, there is a legend that a holy dragon laid an egg in the castle and left. I thought it was just a legend, but it turned out to be true.”

Chloe, alone, looks thrilled. Hearing that it is the egg of the holy dragon, I feel that Rosalia’s eyes are shining brightly, if not heartily. Rosalia, even if you look at me like that, I’m not taking this egg home with me.

“Well then, this egg belongs to Chloe, doesn’t it? I’ll give it back to you.”

I said, “Hi.” and tried to move the egg onto Chloe’s hands.

“Huh?　What’s going on with this egg?　It won’t come off my hands!”

No matter how much I tilt my hand or turn it upside down, the egg stays stuck on my hand. Could it be a cursed egg or something?

“Julius, the magic is transferring from your palm to the egg. I wonder if that’s why it’s stuck to you.”

“Wow, I didn’t know that.”

Come to think of it, Caro can see the flow of magic power, right? If that’s the case, can she also see the flow of magic power flowing from my hand to the egg?

I knew It had sucked the magic out of me. I guess it wasn’t my imagination.

“Chloe, what are you going to do with this?”

“Well, yes. I have to report to my mother first. Let’s hurry back. You go get My mother to the guest room at the far end of the hall.”

The shadow person gave a big bow and left.

“Now, let’s move on too!　We don’t want to cause a fuss, so Julius, please hide the egg.”

As Chloe told me, I covered the egg with both hands and hid it. I wonder if it’s okay. Certainly, if the discovery of the Holy Dragon’s egg became public, there would be no doubt that there would be a big fuss. It might even be called the great discovery of the century.

We hurried to the guest room at the far end of the castle. According to Chloe, this room is specially crafted so that no one outside can hear what is being said inside. This room would increase confidentiality.

“We’ve come this far, we should be fine. Now then, what should we do?”

“I think we should …… put it back where we found it.”

“But that holy dragon egg was asking for help. There must be a reason.”

“I wish we could talk one more time.”

The three girls were staring at the egg on my hand with serious expressions on their faces.

Apparently, Chloe’s “appraisal” skill could tell her the name of the egg, but not the details.
