The next morning. Raphtalia overslept due to staying up late last night. I groaned with the magic book in one hand.
Eh? I was brewing medical herbs into medicine.
While I prepare to leave and regain some time from oversleeping.

"Ah, it's hatching."

I left the egg by a window in the room. Raphtalia noticed that the egg which I bought yesterday started to crack.

A fluffy wing with feathers can be seen peeking out from the gaps.
It's trying really hard to be born.

"Okay."

I'm interested in what's going to hatch from the egg.
I watch the egg as more cracks appear.
The cracks noisily spread with a PikiPiki sound, the face of a baby demon emerges from the egg.

"Pii!"

with soft, fluffy feathers, and eyes of a demon the pink fledgling looks at me with a piece of shell on it's head.

"Pii!"

It jumps cheerfully and collides with my face.
It wasn't painful at all, and the demon seems to be very energetic despite just being born.
Although I don't know the race, it seems the physical condition is good and it will grow up well if it's properly taken care of.

"What kind of demon is this? Is this thing from the Pikyu bird race?

Pikyu is a demon that's similar to a condor that cannot fly high due to being deformed.
I observe the newborn chick's body.
The body seems more agile than the balloons, and I can expect it to attack when it grows up because due to it's beak.

"Hmm... Well I am not familiar with demons."

Raphtalia answers with an embarrassed face.

"It can't be helped. Should we go ask some villagers?"

Because this is a purchased demon, it shouldn't be dangerous to bring around. If there is any trouble it will obey my commands.
When I extend my hand to the demon chick, it runs up my hand onto my shoulder and jumps on top of my head to settle down.

"Piiii"

*SuriSuri* slipping from my head to my cheeks
This is... really cute.

"Hehe, Naofumi-Sama It must think of you as it's father

"Hehe, Naofumi-Sama It must think of you as it's father."
"Oh, it's probably due to imprinting."

It might be registered beforehand because the one who moved it first was me, so it must have assumed I am it's parent.
When I pick up the egg shards my shield reacted.
It might inform me what demon this is if I absorb a fragment of the egg.
Therefore, I let the shield absorb a fragment.
