Ruby was with us due to the accessories I had crafted for her. By wearing them around her body, she can camouflage her long and sharp ears, her crimson-red eyes, and her oddly pale skin, so she ends up having emerald eyes, more healthy-looking skin, and no pointy ears, essentially looking like a human girl.
I know that Vampires are the biggest targeted race in the world, so I did this for her, not because I dislike her normal appearance or something⦠In fact I believe those features is what makes Vampires so unique and pretty.
Anyways, aside from these things, we went back to the palace as the night was already fallen. I pretty much ended spending this day doing heartwarming stuff, not like I really mind itâ¦
It was already Day 188 and so many things happened⦠I just wanted to go sleep cuddling with my Benladann-chan and have a nice and relaxing sleep. Who cares about the dark shadow sect anyways?
Well⦠I do. I should interrogate the souls we captured, but I wasted this day doing all sorts of unnecessary activities that bring no production at all, but that I really ended enjoying a lot. you know, sometimes you gotta just relax and have slow life days in your lifeâ¦
Well, I have them all the time?! Well yes, but⦠I always need some more.
We moved back to the palace and then we had a nice dinner there, we ate a lot of more Japanese food and then back to bed. Benladann's belly was growing a tiny bit bigger each day, making her look very adorable as a mommy.
I hugged her and we slept peacefully. No lewd stuff.

[Day 189]
Today in the morning I woke up with a lot of spirits and revitalized, and I suddenly remembered something else I had picked up from the treasury of the inheritance from the ancestor of the sect, an egg!
Indeed, there was a small dragon egg, I didn't knew how to make it hatch though, but it seemed to contain some life signs inside, although very faint.
I took it out of my shadow storage because my inventory couldn't really save living beings, and this egg was very much alive, even though it looked like a very finely made piece of jewelry for some.
I asked the System to give me a detailed explanation of the egg alongside some methods to make the creature inside hatch, or anything, really.
How odd⦠is that it?
"Oh⦠Yukihime, Mikoto. Come explain this thing to me" I said.
The two ghosts showed up, looking at the egg with surprised eyes.
"Wait, you actually put one of my children in your treasury, Yukihime?!" asked Mikoto.
"W-What's wrong with that? They're our little treasures after all!" said Yukihime.
"You can't just treat my own child like that!" sighed Mikoto.
"W-What's wrong? Can you explain?" I sighed.
The two looked at one another and sighed.
"You see, that one is an experiment we madeâ¦." Said Yukihime.
"Don't dare call my children an "Experiment"! Actually, now that I can, I will raise him." said Mikoto, taking away the egg from my hand and grabbing it with her draconic claws, gently taking care of it.
"Experiment?" I asked.
"Well yes and no⦠I used some special magic, formations, and alchemy with her, and she managed to lay a special egg that is half dragon and half spirit, the first Moonlight Spirit, actually!" said Yukihime.
"Wait, what? For real?!" I asked.
"Yeaaah, for realsies. You know? There is actually no Moonlight Spirits in this world because it is just a branch of Light magic, therefore, not a real standalone element, so it doesn't have an unique spirit. This was an experiment to make a powerful moonlight spirit that was also strong as a dragon⦠and that came out. But there was a problem, it never hatched and it still sleeping even now. We don't know how to hatch it, it has been like that for almost a thousand years." Said Yukihime.
"I see⦠Maybe like the other dragon eggs, it is just looking for the right owner⦠meaning me!" I said.
"Nope, you can't, you already touched it and there was no reaction, you're not worthy." Said Mikoto.
"Ugh⦠Just give me back that egg, its mine! You're already dead so its an orphan, I will take care of the kid for youâ¦!" I sighed.
"Let it be! No! Ughâ¦!" Mikoto resisted but that egg was mine now. I wasn't a child kidnaper or something, the egg didn't seem to even have a soul inside, so maybe if I infused a soul piece of my own soul, I could make that soul piece reincarnate into a powerful half spirit and half dragon clone!
Oi, that sounds awesome, why don't I just do that?
However, Benladann suddenly woke up and startled us.
"Ugh, will you twos top making such a fuss?!" she asked, as she suddenly touched the egg and the egg slipped off our grasp.
"T-The egg!" I cried, as I jumped to catch it. Mikoto did so too, but we⦠barely didn't made it!
CRACK!
The egg ended falling over the floor, and cracked into pieces.
Ughâ¦
But⦠instead of yolk and a fetus, what came out was⦠little feet and a cute little tail waving around?!
"Graaaooo!"
The dragon was actually born!
