That was a bit surprising. Although Catmod already said to me that there were other people in the area, he didn't say anything about having people near his lair except us. Who was that person anyway? I was a curious person so I decided to investigate, I am not going to go far from the lair anyway.
"From what I can remember, that person should be behind this tree and shrubs..." I mumbled as I ready my flaming hands to strike if there is any hidden danger.
However, I did not find any. Instead, only a few shrubs that were disturbed recently, a few leaves and a beat-up bag on the ground. There was nothing strange except the bag that seems to contain something big. It was clear that the bag is almost on its limit and if pulled hard, it would go break. I am cautious about what is inside the pouch so I decided to use my mana sense.
"SUUUUUUUUU...."
A shrill feeling invaded my body as I sense the mana on the bag. Something is inside! I step back a few meters while keeping my guard up into the bag. Whatever it is, I have no intention of approaching it unless I knew that it was safe to do so. I observe the bag for movement or any dangerous action that it may do, however, around 5 minutes have passed but the bag did not move. I am still cautious about it but whatever it is inside, it was unlikely going to move.
With my blazing hands ready, I approached the bag.
No reaction. Even a slight movement is not present.
I furrowed my brows on this one. I have sense immense mana on this guy but no movement at all? What is this thing anyway? I extinguish one of my flames and grab the bag slowly. I grab the bag with an expectation of something that will jump out but...
Nothing. There was no reaction and my expectation was all just for naught.
I extinguish the flame of my other hand and decided to check what is really inside the bag. And to my surprise, a coconut-sized egg appeared in my view. It has a color red, green, and blue blotches on its shell and the entire shell is color yellowish-brown which can be easily mistaken as a rock with paint blotches. However, from the shape, its an egg but I don't remember an animal having an egg as big as this. Unless...
"Holy sh*t..." I backed off a bit. What if the egg was a dinosaur egg? Or an egg of a monster? Anything is possible! And it might hatch while I was holding it!
But if that happened, I wondered a bit. If that is the case, there would be a chance to roast one with my flames, or if it was a tame monster, grab the chance and befriend the monster? So many possibilities, and although I am reluctant to grab the egg with me, I decided to just take it back with me.
"I guess the training should be postponed a bit..." As I grab the bag and returned to Catmod's lair.
…
As Kazuma returned and carries the bag, the person who spied on him earlier once again emerged but the person's face is covered and you can't tell if the person is a guy or a girl. However, when the person murmured to itself, it can be noticed that this person is a girl. Her face is not revealed but she is agile enough to stand in the tree and not fall. She stood there like she is adept at it.
"I hope you can take care of that egg, boy. It's the only way that I can think of to let the child survive. Until then," and as she said the sentence, she leaped off the tree branch but she did not fall into the ground but her trace disappeared. The forest became still once more as the wind slowly blow the leaves of the trees causing the branches to sway.
…
Carrying the tattered bag with me and making sure that the egg will not fall and crash on the ground, I make my way to the living room. Itazura appeared on my neck and when she saw the egg, she sniffed on it and gave it a curious look.
"Do you know what this egg was?" I asked Itazura.
She looked at me and shook her head. So even she has no idea what this was either? My only chance to know what it was would be from Moonlight or Catmod since they have more knowledge about mystical stuff like this.
When I reached the living room, Moonlight is sitting on the sofa and is currently scrolling on her phone, probably chatting with the other magicians in the chat group. When she noticed me approaching while carrying the bag containing the egg, she furrowed her brows and put down her phone into the table.

"What is that?" Moonlight asked as she tried checking on the bag.
"Its an egg. But I don't know what creature lay this kind of egg," and placed the bag containing the egg.
Moonlight tilted her head and check a bit on the egg. She also checks the structure and appearance of the egg before she leaned back to the sofa with a bewildered look on her face.
"Strange. I have not seen this kind of egg before. I may be well versed in a few magical creatures but this one is not something I have known in my entire life. Have you asked Nekoyama-sama about it?"
"Not yet. I am also planning to show it to him and ask what this egg was in case you don't know what kind of egg this is. But I also doubt he can tell me what this egg is," I answered and observed the egg.
"This egg is peculiar and although it is big, I doubt this is a dinosaur egg," Moonlight said to me.
"Huh? Why?"
"From what I can tell, if there ever was a dinosaur egg surviving right now, it would be counted as a fossil already since it won't hatch and from my understanding, only mythical creature eggs produce mana fluctuations since normal eggs don't produce any at all. And I doubt dinosaur eggs also produce mana fluctuations either so when I tried sensing it via mana sense, I can quickly say this is an egg of a mythical creature though I don't know what creature," Moonlight explained.
I looked at the egg and hold the shell with my hands. Somehow, I get the feeling of cold, chilling feel and a bit of hot and burning feeling on it. I did not notice this at first since I was holding the bag that it was placed with. Now that I am touching it directly, I find it peculiar.
"Where did you get this egg anyway?' Moonlight looked at me with confusion.
"I only found it in the entrance of the forest near Catmod's garden. I noticed someone seems to be spying on me in the distance so I decided to investigate and found this in the location. There was no one else in there except this. I am a bit cautious about it at first but I decided to bring it along with me when I saw that it doesn't hold any kind of danger," I explained.
Moonlight is silent at first and rubbed her chin as she contemplated what would happen. After a few more minutes, she nodded and stood up.
"Bring that egg with us. We will look for its origin in Catmod's library. We can find out if it is a dragon or if it is a bird."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
