five.

"It's the egg of the Black Dragon. Do you like it?"

"Are you giving it to me?"

When I asked in astonishmemt, the Count smiled warmly and nodded.

"I don't know when he'll wake up, but if Evelyn takes good care of it, the egg will break soon and you can raise it."

"Yay! How exciting! Daddy, you're the best!"

On second thought, it's an impressive sight.

My father didn't buy roasted sweet potatoes on the street, but picks up a dragon during a business trip.

Count Monstera, who is also rich, differed from the size of the gift.

I hoped that my dragon would wake up soon.

Then Elisha asked.

"Evelyn. What's the name of this dragon?"

"Well. It looks like a big black bean, so it's Bean."

"Bean?"

"Yes!"

When I answered whole-heartedly, Elisha hesitated for a moment. Soon after, she rolled her eyes and said,

"Gee, that's a very intuitive name."

"You have to be intuitive to remember things well."

I answered Elisha with a forced smile as if I didn't know anything.

Then Elisha spoke brightly, as if she had heard the answer in very clearly.

"As expected, Evelyn is delicate!"

It was quite different from the initial lukewarm response.

There was something strange about the praise, but I dismissed it lightly.

Elisha asked me another question after another question, she had a lot of questions.

"When does he wake up?"

"Well, my father said he'd wake up quickly if I took good care of him."

"I'm looking forward to it. The appearance of Bean. When he wakes up, will you show me first like today?"

Elisha had a twinkle in her eyes and held onto my hands tightly.

I laughed and replied to to the desperate and earnest appearance of Elisha.

"Okay."

Elisha smiled brightly as if the answer was satisfactory.

After that, we went back to the banquet hall in time after watching dragon egg for a long time.

***

The party hall was crowded with invited nobles.

The Montez territory was in a rural area far from the capital, but it was quite large.

There were several aristocrats who had moved because they liked this place.

At the same time, the Count was introducing Cassis to the guests.

Cassis, like the main character of the party, was welcoming guests in neat attire.

"You're too late, Evelyn."

At that time, my mother grabbed my hand and gave me a lecture.

I whispered to Elisha as I was dragged away by my mother.

"I'll see you later."

"Yes! See you, Evelyn."

Elisha waved. Then she went straight to the room where the children were.
