Little Phoenix Part 3 Last

"Well, you are right. I can sense some weird fluctuations inside of its body that don't belong to any kind of Race I know and since you are telling us that this Phoenix has a Blood of Vampire in it, he's truly a Vampire Phoenix. But… I'm confused about one thing, how could a Vampire Egg exist? No matter how hard I think, it's simply impossible because the only Race that births to Eggs are of course the Beast Race, well some of them at least." That is the reason why Anna felt like the bird in front of her was quite weird, it turns out that they are from the same Race. But still, she asked a question that was pretty much in all of their heads which was how could a Vampire born from an Egg? It was just impossible for something like that to happen.

"Well, to be honest with all of you. I also don't know to answer your question because I just happen to stumble with this Egg after I killed an Ancient Lord Beast, it was guarding it, and because of natural causes, I got this after I killed him." Yuki explained lightly saying that she also doesn't know the origins of this Egg, though what she said was the truth, it was also a lie at the same time.

"What… how is that possible?" Anna was seriously trying to figure out the answer of how can someone like this little bird be born because it might accidentally cause chaos. After all, the once legendary Race that was believed to be extinct was all a lie and there were still who are living, and if this news got hunted, maybe another hunt would erupt. Yuki seems to notice her expression and she could easily read what she is thinking about, so without saying anything, she flew towards her and placed Anna's head in her chest.

"Don't worry, I know what you are thinking. But I can promise you this, you don't have to worry. His Vampire Bloodline hasn't fully awakened so we are still safe. I'm already thinking of ways to suppress the damages that can happen if his bloodline finally awakens. No one will know that he is a Vampire like you, I promise that I will keep your Race safe." Yuki softly said as she puts both of her hands on Anna's face and caress her right cheek. She then kissed her forehead in a gentle way that made Anna's tense heart calm down even more.

Hearing Yuki's gentle and assuring words made her calm down and happy, she felt that she was lucky to have someone like Yuki in her life. Even though it was just words, it made Anna happy, and she believes in Yuki's words even though all of what she just was baseless, she was confident in herself.

"Alright, let's not talk about the origin of this little thing. Yumie, you check the gender of it, and you can talk with your Sisters to name it." Yuki finally came down when she saw that Anna has calmed down and decided the naming of the little phoenix was put on her daughters since out of all of them, they were the ones who are excited.

"Alright, Mom! But… how do we know its gender?" Yumie was very excited but she still kept a calm manner and just as she was about to check the gender of the phoenix, she cannot help but ask her Mother something first. And that is how to differentiate a male phoenix from a female one, though it would have been easier if it can transform into a Human form since it would make a lot of things easier, but in its current strength, it was simply impossible just yet.

"I think you should ask your Mother Anna about that, I have some knowledge, but that only works on birds in the Mortal Realm. This is the Immortal Realm, plus this thing is a Phoenix and I haven't read anything about them cause I'm too lazy to do so. If we can't still know its gender, then just give it a name that you think is appropriate for him or her." Yuki shrugged and decided to put the spotlight on Anna as for her reason, she felt like she would know since she was a fellow Vampire.

"What, why me? I also have no idea." Anna was flustered when all three little girls looked at her with hopeful eyes but her words crushed their hope in an instant as they all felt down after hearing that she also doesn't have any idea. But when she saw the saddened look of the three, she can't help and nudge Fumiko beside her who might have an idea, but sadly she also has no clue.

"Big sister Yumie, why don't we just name him/her however we want? Just like Mommy said, we should pick a name that can be suitable for both genders." Aika seeing no hope just asked if they could just name the phoenix without knowing its gender. They were left with no choice anyway, so it was better for them to do as Yuki suggested.

"Alright, then let's do that. Each of us should pick a name, we will then pick the best of the three as its name then. Oh yes, to be fair. We cannot vote our own suggested name, we should be fair." Yumie agreed and just as they were about to suggest the names that they have thought of, Katsumi interrupted them,

"Big sister… I don't quite like that idea. Instead, can I suggest another way?" Katsumi asked nervously as she raised an opinion which even made the other grown-ups look at her in surprise. They didn't expect her to suddenly oppose Yumie's idea.

"Is that so? Then can you tell me your idea then?" Yumie was not angry as she just stared at Katsumi calmly and waited for her to answer her question. In fact, she was interested in what Katsumi had to offer.

"How about we list a bunch of names and let the phoenix decide? I only thought that it would be unfair for him or her if we are the ones to only decide its name. Since this phoenix already has a mind of its own, I'm sure that it can already understand us, and doing this can also be good for the phoenix since he is also choosing its own name that we suggested. It's only a suggestion though! You can refuse it if you think it's bad…" Katsumi suggested, but she became nervous at the end after feeling the gaze of Yumie who was clearly sizing her up.

"Do you agree with what she suggested, Aika?" Instead of answering, Yumie asked for Aika's opinion on her big sister's suggestion.

"I agree with big sister Katsumi! I think it's also good so that it would be fair for the phoenix also!" Aika quickly nodded as she even crossed arms with Katsumi and praised her for thinking of such a method.

"It's decided then! We will suggest names to the phoenix and the name that he shows the biggest reaction would be its name." Yumie smiled happily as she was the one first to suggest names to the phoenix.

The phoenix of course already know the situation it was in and it was happy to cooperate with them in choosing a name since it was very important. However, after a dozens name pass, the phoenix didn't show much reaction to any of them which made the three little girls confused. They also found some of the names good, but it looks like the phoenix didn't like them.

"It's your turn now, Katsumi," Yumie said as she had just finished saying a name, but it was also a failure.

"How about Yaoyao? I think it's fine because you are small and cute." Katsumi asked, but as soon as that name left her mouth. She regretted it because it was more of a girl's name. After all, it was kind of cute, but when the phoenix suddenly chirped she was stunned. Everyone was stunned when they saw a reaction from the phoenix and because of it, they now know it's gender.

"So you're actually a girl huh? I thought you would be a boy, but it looks like I was wrong. You finally have a name, Vampire Phoenix. I'm sure that if any Vampire sees you, they would be shocked…" Yuki sighed gently as she takes a closer look at Yaoyao before closing her eyes. Now that the naming was done, it was now time to announce the plan to go to Nightingale.

"Since we are already on the topic of Vampire, Anna… No, Kurokami, I have some news, especially for you. I'm planning to go to Nightingale because of some business that I need to attend and the reason I'm telling all of you this is because I want for all of you to come with me." Yuki brought up another topic which made all of them freeze, even the ones who were listening outside the door, and out of shock the two people who were eavesdropping slipped inside of the room bringing another silence inside.
