5. Is My Daughter a Genius?
“Calysia, you…”
Tears welled up in Reina’s eyes. She had originally wanted to say something to Calysia, but thinking of her hard work, she held it back and could only let out a long sigh.
It wasn’t that Calysia didn’t want to become a small dragon, but that this was the smallest she could become.
About 140 centimeters long, while Celes was only a tiny 60 centimeters. In comparison, it was the difference between a small bun and a large loaf of bread.
For a moment, Reina thought that the little dragon had grown into a big dragon overnight, and only after discovering it was Calysia did she sigh.
“Delicious, as expected, Mama’s taste is different~”
“Dummy Master… I have to eat a lot of meat today, otherwise I won’t be able to feed her well.”
Reina said, pretending to be angry.
“How about we have seafood today? It’s not good to have Liya send it every day. I’ll go buy some. By the way… they seem to be coming back soon.”
“Who’s pregnant?”
“I don’t know…”
Suddenly, she felt that the love between dragon women was very interesting.
Because you never knew which one would get pregnant with a dragon egg, and it was even possible for both of them to be pregnant with each other’s seed.
It was probably Liya. She probably liked being a mother more.
“Awoo~”
“Isn’t it White Miry? I thought it was Liya who was actively pursuing White Miry to get her pregnant. Could it be Liya’s goal?”
“Mmph?”
“Although that’s what the document says, but White Miry should be more fond of pinning Liya down?”
“The one on top isn’t necessarily…”
“Mmph~”
Based on her conversation with Calysia, Reina was completely certain.
Celes probably didn’t understand what they were talking about. She just knew that her two mothers were communicating and began to respond.
Reina patted Celes, and then, looking at Calysia’s dragon head, she helplessly patted Calysia as well.
“Awoo~”
“Awoo~”
“You’re not allowed to ‘awoo’!” Reina knocked on Calysia’s head.
After Calysia went out to cook, Reina held Celes in her two hands. The latter stayed quietly in her arms, looking up at her.
It was said that a dragon’s learning ability was related to their state at birth.
Learning to walk and fly and such, she would put that aside for now. What was more important now was to say some specific words… This was Reina’s small wish.
“Mama.”
Reina looked at the little dragon and pointed to herself.
The little silver dragon’s neck was slender. She craned her neck and nuzzled her chin against Reina’s chest.
“Eh?”
“Celes.”
Reina touched the scales on Celes’s head.
“Awoo…”
“You are Celes, I am Mama~”
“I am Mama, you are Celes~”
Reina pointed back and forth, a smile in her eyes.
Celes nodded, as if she understood. Although she couldn’t speak at all yet, she should still be able to do simple things.
“Mama, Celes,” Reina repeated again, trying to make Celes understand.
Celes opened her small mouth, her tongue moving slightly, as if she were trying hard to respond.
“Ce-les…”
“Eh?”
The pronunciation was a little strange, but from the result, she had done it!
“Mama” Reina pointed to herself. During this time, she had been looking into those azure eyes. The two had almost identical dragon eyes.
“Awoo…”
It seemed it was still a little difficult… but it was already very good.
Reina smiled and patted the little dragon’s head.
But just as Reina was about to massage the little dragon’s body and soothe her to sleep, Celes suddenly let out a delicate and cute sound:
“M-ma~”
“Mmph?”
Reina’s heart pounded wildly.
If she hadn’t misheard, had Celes just called her “Mama”?
The sound was a little distorted, like a kitten acting spoiled, soft and fluffy.
But there was no mistake.
“Celes?” Reina confirmed again.
“M-ma~”
Yay!
She could speak less than two days after hatching. Could it be that my daughter is a genius?
Looking at the little dragon in her arms, who was looking at her with “please praise me” eyes, Reina proudly kissed her.
When it was time to eat,
Calysia pushed a food cart to the bedroom, filled with the seafood feast mentioned today. At this time, Celes could already say some simple words with some proficiency.
“M-ma, Mama~”
She breathed, saying to Reina, repeating it over and over.
While eating, Reina didn’t forget to put little Celes on her chest to breastfeed. While Celes was still awake, Reina smiled and pointed to herself:
“Mama~”
“Mama~!”
“Celes~” Reina pointed to the dragon’s nose.
“Ce-les!”
“Dummy!” Reina pointed to Calysia. The latter, who had been looking at her with an envious expression, widened her eyes upon hearing this, as if in silent protest.
“Bo… an…”
“I’m also Mama,” Calysia walked up to Reina and began to play with Reina’s dragon horns, making her giggle. Then, Calysia caressed Reina’s belly with her hand, making her blush and her heart pound. She should have welcomed it, but in front of Calysia, she was a little embarrassed.
“Mama~”
Celes let out a cute sound towards Calysia.
“Mm-hmm~”
Calysia patted the little dragon’s head.
Celes watched as Calysia played with Reina until she blushed, tilted her head, and looked at Reina with her intelligent eyes, a big question mark seemingly appearing in her small head. As if she had processed some profound content, Celes opened her mouth:
“Dummy!”
“Mmph?”
Reina couldn’t believe Celes was talking to her.
“Am I a dummy? How could it be!”
Her daughter was also a dummy! She could tell from the time she was incubating the dragon egg.
“Dummy~”
Reina pointed to Celes, and then to Calysia. She knew that Celes definitely didn’t understand the real meaning of these words.
“Eh, awoo…”
“Mmph…?”
Celes hesitated.
She looked at Reina and then at Calysia, and finally chose to say:
“Mama, dummy!”
“So who’s the dummy?”
Reina leaned against Calysia, poking her chest with her horns.
Unexpectedly, Celes also imitated her, poking Reina’s chest with her dragon horns… Until the very end, Reina didn’t know who she was calling a dummy, her mother.
In any case, she had taught the little dragon some strange little skills.
Reina noticed that the swelling of her belly seemed to indicate the birth of a life. The growth rate was not as fast as before… After all, there were two dragons in her belly. It seemed that the number of dragon whelps affected the development of the dragon baby. Among them, the prenatal care manual had written that the growth rate of the dragon egg seemed to be related to the number of dragon whelps, but because the prenatal care was incomplete and the relevant research was too scarce, there was no complete answer.
Therefore, Reina was constantly writing and perfecting the content of prenatal care every day. Finally, she planned to use the yet-to-be-popularized magic printing to make copies and finally distribute them to the entire dragon race…
Although it seemed a bit like not attending to her proper duties, for now, this was also a contribution to the peace of the world.
