Rise To The Top! [Finished]

Chapter 19.3: Peerless Dad

Peerless: unequaled; unrivaled

Dad: a man in relation to his child or children.

It's been 7 years since Adrian was deemed as the World's Strongest Hunter, his first reevaluation shook Earth and quite possibly crumbled a bit of it into pieces. A signal from a magic circle glows...

"Laraine?"

"Hi, Adrian...that egg you brought in..."

"Yeah, what about it?" Parker swung his sword downward without ease "fucking Lich's *mumbled*"

"Um...what if I told you that a baby just appeared out of it? Crazy, right?"

"Huh!?" Adrian's grunt alone shook the cave "an egg that just magically made a baby appear? You sure you aren't taking any medications that messes with the head?"

"Parker, have I ever lied to you before?"

"Not in the slightest." He understood that "okay, I'll be there in a bit; finishing off these Lich."

"Bye."

"Bye." Adrian made a fist to end the call "a baby? Ha! Let's just finish this dungeon and return home."

Sayaka has never seen a humanoid baby come out of an egg. A bizarre encounter in her life. Laraine wipes the baby down before carrying it.

"What do we do?!" She asked

"I don't know! Both of us never had children!" Sayaka panicked to keep a calm mind "even if we did, who would be the father!?"

"Adrian!" Laraine blushed a bit

"......but does he want us to carry his child?" Sayaka never thought of that

Earth's champion appeared before them.

"Ah!" Laraine was surprised of course "Adrian..."

He peeked his head over he shoulder to catch a glimpse of this thing.

"Can I...carry it?" The Hunter twitches "I just want to take a good look at it."

His older stepsis hesitated to give the baby.

Gib the child to him ~(Brian)

"Be careful. A friend of mine from the Association said they are sensitive on the head." Laraine advised

Later

Parker sets the baby down on a bed. He carefully watches over it.

How does an egg make a human baby? I thought only that of the same species would come out ~(Adrian)

"Mnn~"

The child had a bad dream and wanted to grab something. Adrian offered his finger, making him fall asleep again.

Can I take care of this boy? I'm a Hunter that rarely comes home...I have a guild! Having my second-in-command lead for me is wonderful! ~(Adrian)
