The Devil's Origin

68: Swimming in The Ocean.

The eggs started to crack.

While holding my breath, I watched them intently.

I gulped as the crack began to widen, revealing a lovely figure hidden inside the protective shell.

The adorable voice called out for me.

I have a skill that allows me to understand an animal's voice so I knew what the pup was saying.

(Ma... Mama... Ma... Mama...)

"Fenrir, your child is born!"

"Yeah, how adorable..."

Gently, Fenrir held the newborn into his arms while the other eggs also started to crack, all of the wolf pups trying to free themselves from the eggshell.

(Fa... Ther...)

Dipping my hand into the Fountain of Life, I lifted the newlyborn life and gently embraced it.

No matter what species were born, I always cried at this touching moment.

It was such a joyful, bittersweet and precious moment.

((Nonetheless, watching the moment the egg hatches is always so blissful to see.))

Chaos said, his eyes fixated on the eggs fondly.

Perhaps because Chaos had spent a good amount of his life guarding over the dead eggs, watching the moment of birth like this must've felt like a beatitude moment for him.

The dark dragon eggs showed no sign of hatching yet but I secretly think Chaos would've cried when his eggs hatched.

I was watching Fenrir having his intimate father-and-children moment when Alex came crashing in.

"Alex, what's the matter?"

"Ah, I found the leviathan but there's some annoying problem."

"What kind of problem?"

((What's wrong with that youngster?))

"Compared to a dark dragon, everyone is a youngster. Anyway, that guy is sulking because you didn't call for him yourself. Right now he's hiding at the bottom of the ocean."

"Huh..?"

What......? Sulking? A dragon is sulking...?

"I always thought he's a fucking brat but I didn't expect him to do something like this. That fucker is hiding inside his Underwater Palace because Maou didn't summon him."

"Er... S-so it is my fault...?"

I had been going around meeting up various demons with all my might so.. Hearing this made me completely shocked.

"Maou, you only have one body. If that fucking brat can have the decency to think reasonably a little, he'd have understood. Tch! Fucking troublesome!"

"Ha!"

Just now, I heard something unbelievable coming from Alex's mouth.

"Alex, have you ever thought reasonably yourself?"

I asked.

((Of course no.))

"How unlikely," Fenrir added.

"I'm going to mess you guys up! Fucker!"

Fenrir's ears twitched as he stared at me, he appeared to be muttering about something but I couldn't hear it.
