Chapter 7 - Hello, I’m Papa (1) (1/2)

In the palm of my hands, there were two stones that continued to pulsate.

Putting off the intense pain of my palms into the corner of my mind, I noticed that I was looking at Aoinoun-san.

“Eh? Hah? Eggs?”

“How are they hatching!? For one whole month, I’ve tried talking to them, stroking them, and warming them, but the children wouldn’t awaken at all!”

Well, even if you ask me…

“Eh, rather, the police…”

“Ah, that’s right!”

Aoinoun-san, who had her arms crossed and was concealing her chest, held out her right hand.

“S-sorry. I didn’t know how to use it, so I accidentally broke it…”

“M-my smartphone…”

There it was, with a pitiful big hole and its circuits exposed, my apple phone.

“T-that stuff aside! My eggs!”

Did she just say that stuff?

“Damn it, I told you to call an ambulance!”

I was a little bit irritated, so I involuntarily spoke too casually.

“Ah, I recover fast, so it’s not a problem.”

As she said that, she opened up the jacket and displayed her right shoulder.

She brushed away the blood that was already starting to clot with her finger. She showed her beautiful skin that didn’t have a single injury in order to emphasize her point.

“…Ah, is that so.”

So in the end, I was the only one who got injured?

“Then, we should take the kidnapper to the polic…”

It seems like what was stolen were actually eggs, so there was no difference from a kidnapping.

That crude lion, Gasaraio, must be handed over to the police.

I shook my head and looked at the fallen Gasaraio.

“Ah.”

Eh?

My eyes met with someone from a bird tribe that was currently shouldering Gasaraio.

She had colorful hair, like from the South. She had a yellow beak and just like Gasaraio, a down jacket furnished with red fur, but this one was silver.

A woman from a bird race that resembled a parrot was carrying the fainted Gasaraio into a van.

“Te-Tehe?”

There was a bizarrely huge thing from the right side of the beak. What is that? Is that the tongue?

The tongue-like piece of flesh was exposed and the bird tribe laughed.

I wonder if she was trying to TehePero, but what came out was “Tehezuron”

“That guy’s running away!”

“Please don’t move, Kunpei-san!!!!”

“Y-yes.”

Aoinoun-san shouted with a voice louder than mine.

That vigor was intense, I was overpowered and couldn’t move.

“Let’s get out of here, elder brother! We were exposed!”

“O-k, g-e-t o-n.”

I saw a gray furball sitting in the van’s driver seat.

Was it a uniform? This guy was also wearing a down coat with red fur, but the coat was black.

Ah, after getting a better look, that guy looks like a sloth. What’s the name of that tribe?

The van’s door was slammed shut and the engine sound resounded.

And just like that, the van fiercely took off.

“You dare steal my eggs!! I won’t let you get awaaaaaaay!!!”

Aoinoun-san roared.

She flung off my jacket and leapt.

At that instant, a lightning-like light illuminated the surroundings.

“W-what was that!”

“Gaaaaaaaaaaah!!”

A roar sounded with the earth.

My field of vision was blocked due to a flash, I took priority in protecting the pulsing things in my palms.

I closed my eyes tightly, then opened them wide.

After a short time, my eyes adjusted and I realized that I was enveloped by a large shadow.

I looked up.

“O-ooh”

The one that was there, was a dragon.

The dragon spread its large blue wings with all its might and roared towards the sky.

“Ah, what’s that?”

Before the roaring dragon, far away in the sky, there was a revolving, dazzlingly ball of light floating in the air.

It swallowed up the surrounding black clouds and gradually grew in size.
