"S-sister?" hearing Yggdrasil's words, Diluc couldn't help but wonder why she would address the metal dragon egg like that.

"I can smell it, she's a girl, she's definitely going to be one of yours as well isn't she?" looking innocently at the upbeat young man's face, the neon-green haired beauty asked with a smile on her gorgeous face, her words clearly not laced by her usual teasing tone but rather truly asking about that.

"W-we'll see in the future" the upbeat young man said as he continues cooking the rabbit meat, thinking that what he thought about when the Dragon Herding System told him about being the one with the greatest draconic blood is really going to be true, not that he had any complains about that since he's just a healthy young man as well, and as long as the lady really has good feelings for him and he feels the same as well, then he will accept them, no matter what they are.

"Hmm~~~ okay then~" doubting whether her most respected, and now beloved person is really telling the entire truth, Yggdrasil merely chooses to keep her mouth shut as she thinks it's not worth the conflict should she pushes it any further.

While the two of them continues to converse about all sorts of mundane things, they finally finished waiting for the meat to cook, the two of them wiping the entire food out, the beauty clearly enjoying his cooking as she took more than half of the food, and that is even with her 'holding herself back' from eating too much.

'As expected of a dragon' is the only thing that the upbeat young man can think about as he watches her gulp the food like no one's business, still feeling quite satisfied as he watches her enjoy the things he prepared for her.

After their sumptuous meal, the two of them immediately goes back to the Draconic Realm, the upbeat young man finally placing the metal dragon egg on top of the True Dragon Nourishing Tree, waiting for the new dragon to incubate as he opens the system shop, scrolling for the appropriate habitat for this new dragon to enter. But not before checking out how far he had progressed after these past few days of training and getting used to his new prowess.

Seeing that his overall combat power increases by a single star, the upbeat young man couldn't help but celebrate by himself as he clenches his fist, thinking that by continuing like this, making efforts to increase his talent and magic, as well as martial art level bit by bit, then he will definitely reach somewhere far and achieve something big in the future.

After enjoying the joy of increasing his strength and power continuously, the upbeat young man then navigates towards the shop of the system, searching for the habitat compatible with the metal dragon that is about to hatch.

[Metal Floating Island (5,000 Realm Gold)]

[Description: A floating island filled with rich minerals and metals that is a great spot for all sorts of pure Metal Dragons and other dragons with metal attribute to live in. Currently able to house five dragons simultaneously, can be upgraded]

After finally finding what he is searching for, the young man then purchases it without any trace of hesitation, causing the familiar scene of the gigantic tear in the Draconic Realm's space to appear once again the spatial rift causing him to enter a trance once again as he watches the constantly moving, chaotic deep space revealed from the spatial rift, before he got snapped out of it as he finally saw the massive plot of land the same size as the Wood Floating Island hovering right next to it, making him wonder just how could such island float in the sky.

Unlike the life filled nature of the Wood Floating Island, this island is filled to the brim with rocky spots, the five metallic mountain peaks being the main highlight of this place, with the very top of these mountains being particularly flattened out as if it is rugged by time, this particular place seemingly more than enough to hold massive creatures and have them comfortable in it.

As their eyes travels down below, the dragon and human couple saw the jagged edges of the mountains, this spot common among the entire mountain range that seems to be way too steep for anyone to climb on.

That is not the most wondrous part of it all as nearly the entire island, while some parts are only rocky and steep, is mostly covered by metallic and mineral structures, massive spires of these structures covering the entirety of the bald mountain, making it even harder for anyone to climb these up.

Flying over the place while riding Yggdrasil who is currently on her draconic form, Diluc marvels at the massive floating island, the things in this place definitely something that will provide enough money for someone to buy an entire nation by selling the metal and mineral resources here, something that he opts not to do as he knows that if this habitat is made like this, then there's a reason for it to be made like this.

A speculation he is about to find out why as the two of them returns to the True Dragon Nourishing Tree, the mystical energy radiating from the massive tree right in the very middle of the Draconic Realm's main island never failing to make them feel extremely amazing, not to mention the little one who is about to pop out of its shell right now.

Opposed to Yggdrasil's egg which is jagged around everywhere and completely rough, this silver egg is like a metal bearing completely smoothened out that no imperfections appear on its shell, that is so reflective that the human and dragon couple could see their own appearance through it.

After a while of waiting, the seemingly completely impregnable metallic shell starts cracking out from the inside, the very same thing when Yggdrasil is breaking out of her shell happening right now once again, causing the upbeat young man to uncontrollably speak as he narrates at the draconic race beauty beside him, said beauty tightly clinging onto his arms as if to express her excitement on watching a new life of her race coming out to see the world.

"You're like that just some weeks ago" the upbeat young man said to the beauty as he watches this new dragon's head pop out of its shell, the metallic luster of its seemingly scaleless body making it appear extremely cute and bright at the same time, much more when it looks towards them with its innocent eyes and they gently roared at them, making the couple's hearts skip some beat.

"She's so cute~~~" looking at the hatchling with stars seemingly glowing in her beautiful eyes, Yggdrasil said as she approaches the young dragon currently breaking out of its shell, its completely metallic limbs also breaking through the shell as well, then finally completely shattering her egg as she starts shaking her body all around, littering her own shell across the True Dragon Nourishing Tree.

Seeing that it made a mess, the metal dragon starts cleaning up as it struggles to eat the shell continuously due to it being scattered all around, prompting the upbeat young man to use his wind attribute mana to invoke some wind in the stagnant air, carrying the shards of eggshell towards the metal dragon currently devouring it.

Seeing that someone is giving it help, the metal dragon looks towards the upbeat young man and roared at him, after which it finishes its own eggshell in a few moments, before rushing towards the upbeat young man and clinging close to him.

"Mhm definitely a lady" looking at how the metal dragon acts, Yggdrasil said while nodding her head, causing the young man to wonder just how is it that she manages to confirm it for herself.

"I told you right, I can smell it, and besides, you can see from just how she clings to you" looking at the incredulous look that her man is giving to her, Yggdrasil starts explaining without him even asking, also saying that there's a major difference between how male and female hatchlings acts in front of the Ruler of the Draconic Realm.

"Ladies gets more intimate, as you can see from how me and this young one acts, as for the lads, well, they tend to express their loyalty and allegiance by bowing their head to the ground" Yggdrasil explains, pulling out knowledge that he got from when she acquired her human form, making the upbeat young man nod as he learns another new thing regarding the dragons that he is going to rule.
