Today in the morning I checked the three eggs that were resting in a special bed I created using soft fabric made by my threads. It was soft and warm, and the eggs rested peacefully over them without any issues.

I wondered if my Epic would count these three as Calamity Bringer children… It is a doubt that can only be answered when they hatch, I suppose.

”Just recently my babies hatched from their egg, and now we have three more?!” asked Nephiana, as we were having breakfast.

”And donʼt forget my three eggs resting in the pool�� I think they will hatch in two to three days; they had developed greatly” said Mady.

”So many eggs really make me want to lay another egg!” protested Nesiphae.

”Well, youʼre still not producing ovules yet… I think that I could be able to make you artificially produce them… but I donʼt want to hurry things up and make you feel uncomfortable” I said.

”Sigh…”

”Mommy, do you want another daughter?! Am I not enough?!” asked Amiphossia.

Nesiphae seemed to have provoked our daughter into thinking that she did not want her anymore…

”Ah, no, my baby, I would never think or say something like that! You are still my sweetheart! It is just that… sweetheart has grown a lot since she was born… too fast, and mommy wanted to take care of you as a baby for a bit longer…” said Nesiphae.

”I see… well, I cannot deny that I grew too fast, but it is a perk of being a demi-human… But I have many little siblings already mother, why the hurry?” asked Amiphossia.

”Ah, there is no hurry, really… I am just being a bit jealous… If little Nirah is with me, I could raise her slowly~!” said Nesiphae, glancing at Nirah who was entangled in my waist while eating pie.

”Mama?” she asked.

”You can spend some time with mama Nesiphae too, right?” I asked Nirah.

”Mama Nesiphae is mama!” she said, as Nesiphae extended her large hand towards her and Nirah hoped in, moving around her arm, and sitting on her shoulder.

”Mama very big!” she said.

”Haah~ Little Nirah-chan, youʼre such a cute baby girl~,” said Nesiphae.

It seems that Nesiphaeʼs desire for laying a new egg and raising a baby was appeased by little Nirah.

Amiphossia laughed as she saw her mother changing so much in nature with the little Nirah.

The little Nirah had been getting closer with everyone in the family lately, as Iʼve been teaching her to be friendly to others more than me… of course, she is still aggressive and hates Vajrara for some strange reason, even when Vajraraʼs new body was made by pieces of the vessel of Megusan, which laid Nirahʼs egg.

I fear that in the future, her bright and innocent personality might be interrupted by the eventual memories of Megusan, and due to this, I am trying to make her build as many good memories as possible, so her personality is influenced to such a point that her new personality can take over her old one…

Of course, this is but a theory of me, perhaps she might never show up symptoms of gaining Megusanʼs memories back.

But as long as there is the possibility, it is better to make her forge strong bonds of love and family.

We will give this little Megusanʼs split soul all the love it never had!

Ah, did I sound to cliché there?

In other things, today Belle grew butterfly wings.

”Mommy, Iʼm flying! I am flying! Sister Vudia, sister Ailine!” she said, as she soared over the table while flapping her wings, Vudia was teaching her how to properly flap her butterfly wings, while Ailine taught her how to balance herself with the assistance of magic if necessary, as Ailine didnʼt have wings but flew with the use of Green Color Magic imitating Wind Attribute spells, which was an even better way of flying than just using the No-Attribute Spell ʼLevitateʼ.

”Follow me Belle!” said Vudia, flapping around the vast room.

”Now try to use your magic to balance yourself, make sure to not lose focus!” said Ailine, acting as a teacher.

”Yes big sisters!” said Belle, as she flapped her butterfly wings.

Her left wing was yellow and white, shining brightly like a rainbow, while her right wing was dark, purple, and scarlet, leaking shadows that blocked the light.

Every time she flew, she would leave trails of light and darkness all around.

”Belle-chan, y-youʼre flying too high, come down here, it is too dangerous!” said Adelle.

”Donʼt worry Adelle, Belle is learning with her sisters. If she ever loses balance, they will catch her in time” I said, patting her shoulders.

”Hmm… okay… Little Vudia and Ailine are reliable girls, so I should trust her into it… But truthfully talking about this, I never expected our daughter to pop up butterfly wings out of nowhere, this was… too sudden, to say the least!” said Adelle, resting her head in my shoulder.

”Belle has my blood as well, and as you can see, I have butterfly wings… I do not think it is that rare. But it is indeed odd that she developed them after being born. I remember that Vudia was born with them from the beginning. Perhaps something inside of her triggered the development of these wings” I said.

”She didnʼt inherit my ʼFloatʼ Skill, so perhaps she was destined to develop wings to compensate…” concluded Adelle.

As I talked with my wife, Wagyu, Kekensha, Kurimu, Yuki and Tsuchimizu were glancing at the large eggs of Habitis, Maahes, and Ophois.

”Hmm�� they smell strong, this one is a wolf,” said Wagyu, sniffing the scent of the eggʼs aura and immediately detecting Sunclawʼs egg as a wolf.

”Hmm… will we be overshadowed by this new wolf?! I donʼt want to lose the attention of Kireina-sama!” said Kekensha, breaking his calm character and demeanor.

”And this is… ah! A-A feline! A lion, maybe?!” asked Kurimu, freaking out.

”Really? I donʼt like cats…” muttered Tsuchimizu.

”And the one in the middle, what is it?” asked Yuki, waving her snow-white tail, as she was in her wolf mode.

”Sniff, sniff… Hmm?” muttered Wagyu.

”What is it? Youʼre the one with the best scent sense with your three snouts,” said Kekensha.

”This is… something strange. It is both a wolf and a lion?!” roared Wagyu while baffled.

”What?! So it is the best of both words then?!” shouted Kurimu, bewildered as his crimson horns were about to explode out of his body.

”Calm down you idiot! If your horns fly around, you will damage the eggs!” said Yuki, scolding the crimson horned wolf, Kurimuzonhōn.

”Oops… s-sorry…” said Kurimu, sitting on the floor and sighing.

”I think that your concern is baseless, my siblings. Kireina-sama would never forget us, we were her first allies after all” said Tsuchimizu, as water and colorful jewels floated around his azure-colored furred body.

”You think so? She has like over ten children now... Did she even had that many before we went away? She doesnʼt have time to play with us anymore…” said Kurimu.

”Well, it is not like we donʼt have our own families as well, right?” asked Tsuchimizu.

”Yeah, my children have grown a lot, I will bring them on a trip in the dungeon,” said Wagyu first head.

”And my wife is also growing strong, but she seems to like to stay at home and practice her telekinesis to cook and craft things… a wolf crafting things, she is a pioneer in this, I think,” said Wagyuʼs second head.

”Of course she is Wagyu. Wolves canʼt craft, we canʼt use our paws to finely grab things,” said Kekensha.

”Well, since I evolved that I could use my horn like a hand, pretty cool, right? And I donʼt have a family so I canʼt relate with any of you!” asked Kurimu, shaping his crimson horn on his forehead as an arm with many clawed fingers.

”Thatʼs looking more like a weapon than a limb, Kurimu,” I said, with one of my bodies.

”KIREINA-SAMA?!” shouted all the wolves in unison.

”Kireina-sama, did you hear everything we talked about?!” asked Wagyuʼs middle head.

”Yes, I was using my mirage magic to spy on you with this second body,” I said.

”As sneaky as ever…” muttered Yuki.

”Are you worried about something? Youʼre part of the family as well, you donʼt need to think that I would forget about you guys just because these eggs will soon hatch and there is a wolf in there” I said.

”It is… actually quite stupid when Kireina-sama says it, we were truly worried about something so childish?” asked Kekensha.

”No, I think Kurimu and his freaking out scenes made us worry over it as much,” said Yuki, pointing her tail to Kurimu.

”Hey! I am not crazy!” he said.

”Youʼve been very hyperactive since you evolved, perhaps it should be time to know a female and form a family,” said Tsuchimizu.

”N-No! I will not… I will never! I walk alone through the path of the horn!” said Kurimu.

”Kurimu, donʼt be stubborn. You are being too childish. Arenʼt you an adult wolf? Even my youngest daughter is being more mature than you,” I said.

”O-Okay, Kireina-sama…” said Kurimu, defeated on the floor.

”Donʼt worry, Kurimu, I got a lot of girls that could be interested in a young and energetic male like you… theyʼre rather savage too, so you will have to handle them well” said Yuki, mischievously.

”…Eh?!”

”Oh, so heʼs getting a harem?” asked Wagyu.

”Good luck,” said Tsuchimizu.

”Be strong, Kurimu” said Kekensha.

”…Eh?! W-Wait a second… hey! I am not ready to lose it!” roared Kurimu as he was carried by Yuki elsewhere.

”Lose what?” I asked.

”I think he meant his virginity, Kireina-sama,” said Kekensha.

”Oh, that! Ah, good luck for him then. Maybe after sitting down with several females, he can calm down his nerves?” I asked.

”Yes, most likely…” said Wagyu.

”By the way, where are Truhan and Celica?” I asked.

”Oh, those two were traveling through Morpheusʼs dungeon, they seemed to be having something like a date, the biomes inside that dungeon are very beautiful after all!” said Wagyuʼs second head.

”I see… well, good for them”

I kept talking and chatting with the wolves with my second body, while with my first body, I was with the rest of my family having breakfast.

Today there was a lot of different fruits aside from Ambrosia… and they were mysteriously very delicious. Although not as good as Ambrosia, they had a nice hint to them.

”These fruits are too good! Did the Dryads finally learned how to make fruits?” asked Sofarpia while eating entire fruits as a horse would do.

”Yes… theyʼre good! Mixing sour flavors… and that one has some muskiness to it like a cheese! And this one… a tentacle?” asked Sofelaia.

”Ah, I like this one, itʼs a giant nut! I canʼt stop storing them in my cheek pouches!” said Kaguya.

”Kaguya, stop doing that, your whole face is swollen!” said Nanako while frightened.

”I think she looks rather cute,” I said.

Every time Kaguya stuffed food in her cheek pouches, she would truly show that she was a squirrel… it was always so cute.

”Why? This is how we do it!” said Kaguya, stuffing even more fruits in what seemed to be an endless pouch of flesh.

”T-That… sigh… I suppose I cannot fight against the cultural differences of humans and… squirrels?” wondered Nanako, biting in the tentacle-shaped fruit, which was filled with sweet and slimy dew.

”Oh? These are surprisingly good despite the appearance” said Nanako.

”These were made by the Tentacle Dryad Empress! She is a very talented girl!” said Mao through my body, as she popped up her head from within the flesh.

”I-I see… wait, this was produced by that woman… made entirely out of viny tentacles? Oh god…” muttered Nanako, feeling a bit sickly out of the sudden…

As everyone gathered to taste the fruits, I began to think about what to do today…

Maybe it is finally time to change Classes? I wonder what options I have unlocked since the last time I changed Classes.
