Chapter 111: The, Hero, Contents of The Broken Egg

Something appeared out of the egg, humanoid and twenty centimeters tall like one of the figurines my friend would show off back on Earth. It then let out a faint mewling noise.

「This is…」

Beyond just its height, its entire appearance was strange. Its overall shape was normal, which in and of itself was odd, with it having black hair tinged with green and a face reminiscent of a younger Minnalis. It was also covered from its neck down to its wrists in reptilian scales with bird wings sprouting out of its back. It had a lion’s tail with a puffball attached to the end and, although I only caught a glance, appeared to also have lionlike paws on its hands. It wore a piece of a different egg like a hat, and its bunny ears poked out through two holes in it.

In summary, it was way overboard. Who thought that adding whatever popped into their head would be a good idea.

「Mama… papa… sis…」

The tiny person, if it could even be called that, spoke as it pointed to each of us in turn before mewling again.

Kuu looked around eagerly, finally spotting the hay spread around the case, and began playing with it happily.

「It seems like Kuu managed to keep its cute appearance.」

「So cute! It’s like a doll.」

「Mama, mama!」

「Huh? You mean me?」

Kuu’s interest turned from the hay to Minnalis as it stretched its hand out to her from the case.

Minnalis cupped her hands and gently lowered them into the case, letting Kuu climb on. It seemed to want to get even closer, so Minnalis lifted it to her face and it happily nuzzled her cheek.

「Mama! Mama!」

「I can’t act as a mom, so what’s this strange feeling?」

With that, Minnalis’ normally serious expression broke into a dopey grin. As I have mentioned before, making Minnalis smile without using a skill was something I had practiced hard for. Under my efforts, her『Straight-faced』skill had evolved into a max-leveled『Facial Control』skill.

Then Shuria spoke up.

「Me too! Me too!」

「Sistah! Sis, sis!」

Kuu moved over onto Shuria’s hands and Minnalis looked as if she would take it back by force.

Ignoring this, Kuu felt about Shuria’s palms before expanding its wings and taking off.

「Ah, it flew!」

Kuu flew up and landed on Shuria’s head, contentedly petting it with its paws.

「Sis… Coo… Sis…」

Kuu puffed out its chest and made a pose, then went back to tugging at Shuria’s hair.

「Ouch! And don’t look down on me! I do not allow it.」

Even saying that, a hint of enjoyment peeked through her expression. Do they think it’s being charming when it plays with them? I hope they aren’t secretly masochists, really really hope.

As if it was satisfied with its work with Shuria’s head, it turned to me.

「Papa!」

「Oof!」
