Simon grabbed the back of Hatchling’s neck, making a choking sound, and threw it at Allen.

The snowy-white Hatchling fluttered its short arms and wings and flew straight into Allen’s arms.

“…!”

Allen, who had accidentally hugged Hatchling, looked at Simon with a puzzled face.

Simon shrugged his shoulders and added.

“It may be the strongest creature, but it’s still a baby. Could you take a look and make sure it’s okay, mister?”

“Ah…”

Although Dragons had never been to a doctor before…

Allen bit back his most intimate words and looked down at the young creature wrapped in his arms.

Allen swallowed his words and carefully held the young creature in his arms.

Tears welled up in Hatchling’s eyes as he looked up at Allen, trembling.

His eyes had a unique color that contrasted with his snow-white skin.

It was a pink iris tinged with red.

Ahem, Allen cleared his throat and softly called the name that Derek had given him.

“Drea?”

“…Kyao?”

Hatchling responded to Allen’s call with a throaty sound, as if asking what was going on.

Allen smiled as he looked at Hatchling’s cute response.

For a dragon, he was excessively cute.

Indeed, all babies in the world seemed to be cute.

“Now that I think about it, I couldn’t even hug you right after you were born. You did well, little one.”

Allen smiled affectionately and stroked Hatchling’s head.

Drea, who shuddered, responded by flapping her short wings.

The baby dragon trembled as Allen held it, then roared briefly as it buried itself in his arms.

“Kyao~!”

Kalia, who looked at the squirming dragon as if in a good mood, looked at Gaia holding Sasha.

“Gaia.”

“Oh, right! Yes, Father!”

Gaia, who was admiring Sasha’s small wings flapping like a puppy, suddenly came to her senses.

“I’ll call Father. Just a moment.”

As Gaia placed the baby on the bed, her body disappeared.

About 10 minutes passed.

“Am I late? He’ll be here soon. I didn’t know how to call him, so I had some trouble.”

Gaia appeared again, popping out from Kalia’s bracelet, and cheerfully shouted, followed by the sound of a bird.

Chirp!

The dazzling orb of light grew larger and the door opened. And a familiar presence appeared.

Kalexia looked at Gaia with a slightly surprised face, unlike usual, who always looked relaxed.

“If you call me so urgently at the entrance to the spirit world, won’t I be surprised, Gaia?”

“Father! But I didn’t know how to call you. Since I’m bound to the bracelet, I can’t go far….”

“Right. You did well. If there’s anything, call me out loud like that.”

He hugged his daughter who ran to him and patted her back.

His fingertips seemed to tremble a bit.‘Did I ask her too hastily to call him? Actually, I thought Gaia would come with me if I called her like I did back then.’

That spell seemed to have disappeared.

Moreover, she had a hunch that she had asked too much of someone who was practically a king.

She cautiously observed Kalexia’s expression.

Fortunately, his expression was as calm as usual, unlike before.

“Well, why did you call me urgently?”

After asking that question, Kalexia looked at the white dragon Hatchling in Allen’s arms.

Seeing him, he didn’t seem very impressed, but when he found Sasha’s wings flapping on the bed, his expression changed.

A smile of surprise appeared in an instant.

“Wings!”

He immediately hugged his great-grandson and stroked his head as if to say how impressive he was.

“Wings are a trait that appears only in the combat specialization even among the fairy races… This guy was born with the power of a Guardian!”

“Does that mean… not all fairies have wings?”

“That’s right, my dear. Even within the fairy race, different traits are born depending on the specialization. And when it comes to wings, it’s definitely for combat purposes.”

“I see.”

If he had wings, it would certainly be more convenient in many ways for combat, not just for defense but also for attack.

Thinking like that, Kalia was very regretful that she didn’t have wings.

If she had wings, she could have reduced the sacrifice of ordinary soldiers and could have done many things alone…

As Kalia was thinking about that, she suddenly looked up at Kalexia.

The powerful strength and toughness emanating from his entire body.

It seemed impossible for Kalexia, who had such strength, not to have combat abilities.

“Does Grandfather also have wings?”

She asked with curiosity, and Kalexia chuckled.

“Do you want to see them?”

“You have them.”

“Oh! Come to think of it, I have never seen Father’s wings either.”

“Taking out the wings is a very special situation. And my wings are so big that I can’t take them out anywhere.”

Fairy King’s wings.

She couldn’t imagine how huge and beautiful they would be.

With those strong wings, he must have protected the forest and the fairies.

“Fold that curious look. I’ll show you when the opportunity arises.”

Kalexia patted Kalia’s shoulder and turned to look at Allen’s arms, where the white Hatchling was curled up.

“Kya, Kyaou…”

As he raised one eyebrow, the startled Hatchling trembled and buried its head in Allen’s chest.

“So, the one Kalia saved was born. Hm….”

He let out a deep sigh and approached the Hatchling.

“White. So that’s why you have lost so much vitality.”

“I’ve heard various dragon stories that spread throughout the continent, but this is my first time hearing about a white dragon. So it was a real dragon.”

“Hmm…. They are the most annoying and the smallest in number.”

As Simon rolled his eyes as if to ask what he meant, Kalexia said with a deep laugh.

“These white guys can handle all attributes without restriction.”

‘Oh, really.’

Dragons were praised as the strongest beings even if they specialized in a single attribute, but if the attribute restrictions were removed, wouldn’t that mean they could become unimaginably strong?“They may be the smallest in size, but they are the strongest. However, there is one fatal weakness in these guys. That’s why the number of individuals is the smallest.”

He lowered his head and examined Hatchling’s pretty pink eyes closely.

A faint green emblem appeared between his white eyebrows.

He had been watching it closely, then reached out and flicked Hatchling’s nose with his finger.

In that moment, a white light burst out of Hatchling’s body, and his form changed.

Suddenly, the dragon Allen had been holding transformed into a small baby.

It was slightly bigger than Sasha, but still a little.

“Kyaa!”

The crying baby with wavy white hair and pink eyes snuggled into Allen’s arms.

Without even realizing it, Allen hugged the baby tightly and stepped back.

Kalia, Allen, even the spirits and Sasha were all looking at Hatchling, who had become a baby.

Kalexia grumbled in a low voice, seeming unconcerned.

“Humanization”.

“Humanization?”

“Yes. They have to accumulate power by spending some time in human form. When they’re in dragon form, they’re the strongest, but in human form, they’re about as strong as ordinary fairy.”

Ah, so they are only conditionally the strongest.

Then it made sense that there were few of them and that they were not well-known in the world.

If this secret were revealed, all the heroes in the world would be obsessed with capturing the white dragon.

Kalexia hugged Sasha and stood in front of Allen.

Two babies of similar age were facing each other.

“I heard that the marking on these guys is a little unusual.”

Two green emblems shone above the foreheads of the two babies.

“Other dragons imprint their marks on the owners of the magic power they imbued, and they follow them like parents. But these guys are the opposite.”

“The opposite?”

“When they are born, they take the mark of the entity with the strongest soul and carve it into their own bodies. It’s like a sign that they’re the mate of that entity. It’s their own way of survival.”

“…Yeah?”

“Of course, the chosen one can refuse it, but that’s a story for when they’re a little older.”

“That, what do you mean…”

Kalexia looked down at the baby with white hair as if he was displeased and spoke.

“Yes. This little one was born and immediately marked my great-grandson as his companion.”

“Huh?”

Everyone in the room’s eyes gathered on the two babies.

The two babies looked at the adults with innocent and clear eyes, as if they knew nothing.

“It’s annoying, but we probably have to protect that dragon until it grows to some extent. It’s a companion mark that he randomly marked, but if something goes wrong with that little guy, it could also affect Sasha.”

It was unthinkable to curse such a small baby, even though it was a survival instinct.

Kalia looked at Drea, who had curly white hair, with embarrassed eyes.

The innocent eyes were clear and clean, just like a newborn baby’s.

She felt like crying because she was so afraid.

Kalia looked at the baby quietly and chuckled.

“Well, whatever. I guess you can think of it as having one more child.”

She reached out and stroked Drea’s chubby cheeks as she spoke.

“…Kalia?”

Suddenly, Simon widened his eyes in the face of the crisis that a dragon daughter might suddenly appear.

He didn’t hate the idea, but he didn’t feel like saying he was happy about it either.

Drea grabbed onto Allen’s clothes as if she sensed something and rolled her eyes.

Seeing that, Kalia clapped her hands as if she had a good idea.

“Oh, or maybe Allen could take care of her? Since he’ll be staying in our mansion anyway, it might be good for Allen to take care of her for a while.”

Allen, who was startled, looked at Kalia with wide eyes.
