Today I woke up quite late, I decided to sleep a few extra hours simply out of slothfulness.

There was a big list of things to do in my head, but I just wanted to sleep anyways.

The morning was just as peaceful and tranquil… as much as you can call it peaceful with my big family.

Today's topic of conversation was often the large, white-colored egg that is covered in orange-red and clear blue tattoos, where the reincarnations of Blaze and Lazuli rest.

"This a big egg!" said Nirah, glancing at the egg while entangling it with her purple scaled tail. The snake-headed tip seemed oddly strange today, glancing at the egg while drooling.

"Nirah, I think it would be dangerous to bring Tail-chan near the egg, look at her, she seems to be about to eat it-"

Chomp!

Tail-chan suddenly expanded its jaws over ten times its original size as it tried to gulp down the egg, its fangs, however, failed terribly at penetrating the hard shell, and even its fangs broke down.

"Gggiiishiii…!" cried Tail-chan in pain.

"Tail-chan! I told you to not bite things harder than your fangs!" said Nirah.

Of course, I was worried about Tail-chan, I made sure to make the eggshell incredibly hard, so in the end, she would be the only one affected by having her fangs broken.

I believe that they can grow back, but it will take a few days, for now, Nirah will have a fangless Tail-chan.

"I tried to stop her, but I guess she was driven by hunger… Well, it's time for breakfast so better come sit here," I said, showing Nirah her little seat.

"Yesh!" said Nirah, moving her tail around until she reached the seat and sat down in there, her tail had grown longer these last days, most likely due to having leveled up.

"Gishiii…" cried Tail-chan, it seemed frustrated and it even released small tears out of its snake eyes.

"Don't worry Tail-chan, you can still eat these!" said Nirah, grabbing giant, ostrich-like eggs that were recently boiled from the table, these eggs were non-fertilized Dragon Eggs, very nutritious. The egg yolk is delicious and has a strong orange color when it boils, while the clear white of the egg is smooth, soft, and a bit creamy. Snakes in my family are many, and they all enjoy eating eggs, often boiled than raw though.

Nirah liked to eat them, alongside Tail-chan, who began to gulp them down to alleviate its frustration.

"Hmm, I can never get enough of these boiled Dragon eggs…" said Nesiphae with a voracious smile.

"They're always a good way to begin the day!" said Amiphossia.

"I agree…" said Yiksukesh as she had eaten several ones already.

"There are also these new eggs, the ones that we often eat are from Fire Dragons caught in the Dungeon, but these are from Thunder Dragons, so give it a shot," I said.

In my Empire we were using feared monsters such as Dragons as chickens, putting them in giant farms so the females could lay eggs.

They were not fertilized but were capable of laying eggs after I used a few of my Sin of Lust Arts, letting them ovulate and lay eggs without the need for the seed of a male… Although not all females were like this, some a bit stronger would randomly get the 'Egg Laying' Skill. And a few of those that laid eggs through my abilities learned began to learn that Skill as well.

"Thunder Dragon Eggs! Hmm~!" said Nesiphae, as she enjoyed them thoughtfully.

The Dragon Maids were serving us the food as Goghesdum and Nannet were rather embarrassed about this… they were the ones that laid these eggs for us.

The Egg Laying Skill is interesting. I am rather familiar with it due to possessing similar Skills. The Egg Laying Skill gives the user the ability to lay the egg of their species without the need to mate, and this process is done almost automatically, the egg would be produced incredibly quickly within the womb of the female and then laid off within less than a minute. The user of this Skill can also choose between it being fertilized… or not.

Of course, Goghesdum nor Nannet want to have children, so they laid unfertilized eggs that were completely okay to eat. And because they were laid by such strong Dragons, the eggs were filled with way more nutrients, and large quantities of Mana, it was a very valuable ingredient for the cuisine of my Empire and Nation.

"You girls lay such delicious eggs!" said Amiphossia.

"They're very delicious…" said Nesiphae.

"Yeah, and they're not only good alone, but they're pretty good when making pastries as well, guu!" said Rimuru.

"Oh yeah, they're very consistent and make the cakes and other pastries very puffy and delicious!" said Gaby, who was learning how to cook various pastries with Rimuru.

"They're even in the dough of the donuts we are enjoying," said Zehe.

"Eeehh… E-Even in the pastries…" muttered Nannet.

"I'm glad that I am being of good use for Kireina-sama and her family…" muttered Goghesdum with a blush.

"Your dragon eggs are an excellent local product! I wonder if we could export it to other countries…" said Lilith.

"We might, although we haven't developed that much communication nor bonds with other countries… as we often simply conquer them," said Charlotte.

"That's true, but I am beginning to think that we could make some bonds with the countries of Dwarves within the Icy Wall Mountains to the north," I said.

"Oh right! Those people seem to not hold many conflicts…" said Nesiphae.

"It would be a nice change of pace to go to a country without the intention of conquest…" said Brontes.

"I agree, we should change the pace a bit for now, alongside the countries of Dwarves that I had dreamed of visiting for years, there is also the large Nation of Elves to the south of the other side of the border continent, nearby the Azuma Empire… it is a larger trip but with my current abilities, it should be easy to get there… Although contact with them has been rather hard, I've spread my Slime Clones around there so I've grasped most of what the people there think, they're oddly peaceful and also very attached to nature, the current Elven King seems to be a prodigy too… Thing is, I worry that the Gods that look over them will not take us so lightly, so it is all problematic," I said.

"I see… It would be nice to see an Elven Country! I bet they live in a big forest!" said Rimuru.

"Indeed, they actually live in an enormous forest that surrounds children of the Tree of Life Yggdrasil, which was born from one of the seeds of this mythical tree. I have heard from the Gods that this tree exists in a High Realm very far away from here… The seed must have been brought to them as a gift by some God," I said.

"Yggdrasil… I wonder if there are more Gods there. Is it a Realm of its own? How is it structured?" wondered Zehe.

"I am not clear either… I don't know if it's just a giant tree in the middle of the Astral Road, or if it's inside a High Realm, or if it's the High Realm itself…" I said.

The 'Tree of Life' Yggdrasil was part of Earth's Norse Mythology, but its existence in Genesis didn't surprise me as much when I was told about it by Agatheina before. There are many things from Norse Mythology in this world already, and there are even gods with the same names as those entities, the closest example would be Loki, the God/Goddess that Blessed Mady long ago. This God/Goddess seems to not even belong to Vida, yet it blessed Mady…

If there is Loki, then there is obviously Thor, Odin, and all of the other guys, or at least the vast majority… the same as Greek Gods. It is crazy that they all exist in one single place as if all the mythologies of the history of man were materialized in this crazy world. Hell, even Lazuli is the daughter of one of them in Skadi. And well, there is Palikoi with Hephaestus… and I also ate Apollo.

Just thinking about it makes me think that this world might really be something like a Parallel World of Earth in some way.

"I wonder if there are there more nations aside from Elves and Dwarves?" asked Lilith. She was a half-dwarf… but after becoming a Chaos Human, she was more of Dragonoid and had lost much interest in meeting Dwarves.

"There should be way more nations around the border continent, but they're often too tiny to notice, aside from the Dwarves, and Elves, there is the Giant Abyss Cyclops to the south," I said.

"…Hm, we might go there one day of these to settle things out," said Brontes.

"I've also heard that there is a Nation of Giants that live near the mountains of the southeast, they're protected by an ancient Titan God of sorts," said Hydros who joined in the conversation.

"Oh? We might be able to bring them here if they are having some hardships" I said.

"Giants? Like actual intelligent ones and not the monsters?" asked Truhan.

"Indeed, they're the direct descendants of the Titan Gods…" said Hydros.

"Oh, we might have more giants to spar with then…" said Celica.

"Spar! Spar!" said Nephilim and Rephaite, the children of Truhan and Celica.

"You two are still too young to spar with adults, for now, you have to fight monsters and eat a lot so you can get as big as me and your mother," said Truhan.

"Yes! Big! We eat a lot!" said Nephilim.

"And we get big to spar!" said Rephaite.

"Such adorable little children, I await the moment that I could be blessed by an offspring as well~," said Hydros with a teasing chuckle.

"What's with her? We got here first!" said Nereid as she flew towards my side, she was the jealous type of girl.

"Nereid, you don't have to be so aggressive, relax, of course, you will get it first, you're my wife," I said.

"Y-Yeah… I guess…" said Nereid. She reminded me of Adelle.

"Master, do you want some more pudding?" asked Kjata who had suddenly sat down on my legs, offering me pudding.

"Kjata, you don't have to be so pushy…" I said as I glanced at her beautiful orange-red eyes, I could not help but accept her spoiling.

"Okay…" I said, receiving her spoon as I tasted the delicious sweet and vanilla-flavored pudding, which was lightly covered in syrup. These puddings were very flavorful and also used the Dragon Eggs as an ingredient.

Japanese style pudding uses eggs for its preparation, and because here there isn't something like instantaneous pudding, we use eggs to make them gelatinous, it stays sweet, of course, and it even gives it a delicious flavor.

"Can I spoil you too, w-wife?" asked Ocypete sitting beside me, as she offered me a juicy piece of dragon meat steak.

"Ocypete, you don't have to force yourself… Well, okay," I said, accepting the juicy steak and changing the flavor of my mouth once again… Haahh, it was good to be spoiled.

"Now me! Here, have this!" said Smilkas, as she brought a large piece of bread.

"Smilkas you're bad at this!" said Nereid.

"It's… just a bread…" said Ocypete.

"Smilkas, you're not that romantic," said Kjata.

"Eh? Weren't you all giving her food? Sheesh…" said Smilkas.

"It's not exactly plain bread… I'll make a sandwich with it, thanks, Smilkas," I said with a warm smile, as Smilkas released a slight blush as she gave me a confident smile.

The entire day went by like this, as I took it relaxedly without much happening aside from many conversations. When it was 5 PM, we decided to go to the beach to show it to all those that did not come this time, it was a fun day, although Hydros almost provoked a tsunami.
