Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 61 Hatched!

61  Hatched!

As the dawn approached, the red hue of the rising sun on the horizon painted a beautiful picture on the light gray canvas of the starry sky. The south-eastern winds blew past the naked trees and the morning mist-covered leaves rustled together.

Inside the Suarez family manor, in a luxurious bedroom, the morning sunshine passed through the curtains, falling briskly upon Luis, who was sleeping on a king-sized bed. Soon his brows furrowed, and his eyes opened, waking up from his deep sleep. He stretched his limbs out of the sheets and was greeted by the warm, cheerful voice of Lily.

{Good morning, Master.}

"Um, morning Lily."

While Luis changed out of his nightwear and freshened himself, Lily updated him regarding the progress of their experiments for the new projects he had started.

***

It's been about one and a half months since the Raid incident. In this period, the Aiverson royal family didn't make any small moves. Nor did the Suarez family accuse or blame them because it wasn't the time to tear off their faces with the royal family.

As for the Church's side, they couldn't just damage their reputation if revealed that the direct disciple of the Pope was working with an Assassin organization. So, the Suarez family could only come forward to give the unfortunate news that the direct disciple of Pope was a 'victim' who was 'kidnapped' by the Assassins and had an unfortunate death under the large-scale attack at the time of the raid.

Although many people didn't believe it, and it caused a rift between the Church and the Suarez family. But neither Ronald nor Lumine cared about that. They could only give their condolences to the Pope.

Fortunately, in the end, the Church didn't try anything and let the matter go, at least on the surface. But Luis knew sooner or later they were going to have a face-off.

"So, it is…" While rubbing his chin, Luis mumbled with a frown.

"It's still not working."

{Yes, but as long as we can find the right material to fine-tune those elements, we can get to the next step.} Lily, the cute little assistant who was wearing a researcher coat, explained.

Then, with a sigh, she continued. {I've tried it with all the available materials, but they all resulted in failure.}

"Hard work on you Lily. Keep trying with different combinations and ratios."

Hearing this, the disappointed Lily also regained her spirits.

{Yes, Master!}

Then there was a sudden knock on the work.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Who is it?"

"Luis! It's me!"

"Alicia?" Feeling the impatience covered with excitement in her voice, Luis raised his brow in confusion.

"What happened so early...!"

He asked while opening the door, but before he could continue Alicia's jade-white hands pulled his arms abruptly.

"!?"

"At least explain what's going on?!"

Alicia, who was pulling his arms, exclaimed in excitement.

"The Egg!"

"It's hatching!!!"

Hearing this, Luis' brows outstretched, and a wide smile appeared on his face.

"Finally! That little guy is willing to come out!"

While speaking, his legs also hastened. The same was the case for Alicia. Since Luis brought that egg from Almast and gave it to her. She is the one taking care of it. Now that it's about to be hatched, she can't wait to express her joy.

As they entered Alicia's room. Luis saw the obsidian egg full of cracks placed on the sofa, surrounded by cushions.

Time passed by minute after minute and the cracks on the egg's surface kept getting bigger and bigger. Alicia held Luis' hands tightly, watching with anticipation and nervousness on her face.

*Crack*

Then, a crack was heard and a small white paw with black soft fur punched through the top of the eggshell.

For a moment, both Alicia and Luis' breathing stagnated.

What appeared in their sight was a black fluffy tail with white fur on its edges. Then, as the egg hatched, a cute fox-like creature came out of the broken shell.

*Kyu~*

It had black and white fur on his body. The fluffy tail alone was the size of the little guy. The insides of his ears were white and there was a beautiful silver crescent mark on his forehead.

"So, this is a Moon Fox!" Luis mumbled with interest.

"Ahh! It's so cute~"

Reacting to Alicia's voice, the Moon Fox also looked over in her direction, then let out a cute sound as if calling for her.

*Kyu~*

"Woah~"

Out of sudden happiness, she almost pounced on it, but thankfully the Moon Fox wasn't scared by her and let her snuggle happily as she rubbed her cheeks.

"Ah ha ha~ It's so soft~"

Looking at the merry scene in front of him, Luis also felt warm in his heart. Maybe it was the right choice to bring the egg back home. But he also had several questions in his mind. Such as.

Why is its tail and fur so fluffy just after being hatched?

Or why can a fox be hatched from an egg?!!

Sighing, he attributed all this to the common sense of this world. So, he couldn't question these logics. But.

"What's going on, Lily? Even if it's a mild creature and has high intelligence, it shouldn't be so close to humans without a contract, right?"

{There are several cases in which, while breeding monsters and beasts with a certain level of intelligence and are mild in nature, they treat their breeders as their parents and have a high affection for them after their birth.}

{The same might be the case for this Moon Fox. She might have been observing Sis Alicia's care for her from inside the egg. That's why she treats Sis Alicia as her mother.}

Nodding his head in understating, Luis mumbled. "So, it's a female."

{Yes.}

Watching a cute baby Moon Fox and a beautiful fairy-like girl cuddling together. Luis had a premonition that his days with them would become even more interesting.

"Alicia, I'll go bring something for her to eat."

"Hurry up! My baby is hungry~" Alicia said coquettishly.

"Kyu~"

And so did the Moon Fox, as if copying her actions.
