Chapter 54 (1/2)

Chapter 54 – First Contact desu

Laura continuously called to the Great Sage「Wake up〜, wake up〜」.

And did that show results? The Great Sage raised her body.

「You finally woke up. Uhm, Princ.i.p.al-sensei, there is something that I want to show……oh, ehh?!!」

The sleepy Great Sage suddenly hugged Laura tightly.

And, she pulled Laura to her bed and started rubbing her cheeks against her.

「Ahh……as I've thought, Laurchan is fit for being a hugging pillow. I shall bestow you the t.i.tle of “Holy Pillow”」

「What's with that weird t.i.tle. I don't need that! That's embarra.s.sing! Really, when are you going to wake up?」

「Why do I need to wake up? This is the napping room you know. Laurchan entered with her own will, it means that you want to be my hugging pillow right?」

「That logic doesn't work! It's not the time to joke around. I picked up a weird egg in the Mezzel River earlier, so I want to ask Princ.i.p.al-sensei to identify it」

「A weird egg……?」

And there, the Great Sage finally started to get interested.

She raised her upper body, and stretched after making a huge yawn.

「It's a really weird egg that you want to get in the way of my afternoon nap?」

「Yes. E〜to, it has cream color and light blue stripes, and its size is twice of my head」

While explaining that, Laura expressed the shape of the egg using her hands.

And then, the sleepy face of the Great Sage suddenly became serious, and she started thinking after she placed a hand on her chin.

「……that egg, is it currently in the school?」

「Yes. Emilisensei is holding it in the princ.i.p.al's office」

「For the meantime, I should look at it personally」

The Great Sage crawled out of her bed and went to the princ.i.p.al's room.

Laura also followed and jumped off, standing beside her.

「By the way, Laurchan. How good it is that you arrived at the napping room. It was difficult right?」

「Yes. But, I did my best!」

「You broke that barrier just by doing your best? What a frightening girl」

The Great Sage happily patted Laura's head for some reason.

It looks like she was being praised.

Laura became happy and relaxed her cheeks.

「Ah, Princ.i.p.al. Good morning. You slept for a whole day this time huh」

Emilia said with a somewhat sarcastic amazement.

And after that, Charlotte and Anna also followed to say「Good morning」.

「Yes, good morning to you too. I wanted to sleep a little more though. But I got curious about the egg that Laurchan picked up. Lend it to me for a second」

The Great Sage took the egg from Emilia and observed it while she spins it around/

「A dragon's egg……? No, it's a little different. The color stands out too much. Also, I can feel a sacred presence from inside」

「Sacred presence?」

Laura tilted her head not knowing what it was about.

It was not only Laura. Everyone other than the Great Sage made a strange face.

「That's right. Although you cannot be blamed that you do not know. Something like the presence of G.o.d, you wouldn't know it normally. This egg, it's probably a G.o.d Beast's egg」

G.o.d Beast.
