We returned to the surface after the event. Since we need to find Catmod first, we have no choice to do so. While climbing up the stairs, I asked Moonlight where is Catmod right now.

"Nekoyama-sama? He is out at the moment. I heard that he is currently summoned to the Council of Magicians for an important matter. He won't be back tonight so asking for permission for the second volume of the codex would still be on pending tonight."

"The council called him? Did something happen?"

"I had no idea. Usually, the council never reveals much of their plans unless the plan involves a magician. Since Catmod is summoned, he must be involved in it but since he will return tomorrow, the situation might be a bit light and not serious I think," Moonlight said and continue to ascend the stairs.

When we arrived in the living room, I placed the egg back to the table. I also noticed that my mana is a bit drained without reason and my energy to move seems to be also drained. Moonlight noticed this and she looks worried.

"Kazuma, are you alright? You look pale. Did you get sick when we are ascending the stairs?" Moonlight rubbed my back.

"No, I am fine. Just a bit drained for some reason which I have no idea why even though I did not use any magic..." I said to her. The truth is, I am about to collapse in fatigue and if not for the breathing process that I am doing and the Mana Tree itself supplying a small amount of mana bit by bit, I would have collapsed.

"Eh? You drained your mana without using magic or any ritual that consumes mana? Well, indeed, you have not used any earlier but how come?"

We fell in contemplation when we raised our face at the same time and faces the egg on the table.


' Did this little fella just caused my(Kazuma's) mana draining ?'

We fell silent for a bit. I connect with the Crystal seed in my consciousness and ask it about the egg. If this Crystal seed is indeed ancient, it might as well know what this egg is currently.

"Hey, you there you Lil' blue?"

The seed did not respond a bit but it responded a bit later.

"You mean me? You calling me Lil' blue?! You got to be kidding! I am older than you! I am more ancient than you! You should respect your elders!" The Crystal seed floated around and angrily grumbled.

"Hey, you are smaller than me and you are color blue so why not call you Lil' blue? It's much easier to call you that than keeping on calling you Crystal seed."

"..."

"Anyway, I want to ask you since you always monitor my mana."

"Mmm, indeed I am monitoring it. There are no problems at the moment so what do you want to ask?" the Crystal seed twirled around.

"Did something just sucked my mana around the time earlier? I felt so drained but I have no idea what caused me to get drained like this."

"Eh? I thought you allowed that egg to suck in your mana so I did not stop it from sucking until your critical levels. So you have not performed the feeding at all?" the Crystal seed floated around me.

"Feeding? I didn't do that sort of thing at all! Why would I do that? And what did you just say? The egg did this?!"

"Yeah. The Elemental Pixie needed mana to hatch out from the egg. You even don't know about the basics?"

"Heck no! Why would I know that? I am just a normal guy until a few weeks ago!" I grumbled.

"Pah, humans are forgetful after all. Well, you should keep that egg with you and make sure it hatch properly without being forced into troubleshoots. That thing would help you in the future."

After that, the Crystal Seed disconnected my consciousness to the little guy and despite trying to reconnect, it's not working at all. I sighed and returned to my consciousness. Since it was just a few seconds, Moonlight did not notice.

"Are there any mythical creatures that suck mana when they are still an egg?"

"A creature that sucks mana when they are still an egg? There are a few but I doubt it since most of them died out since World War 2," Moonlight said.

"What? Died out during World War 2?" I was startled. Does that mean that during the great world war 2, magic existed?! Don't tell me that the war also involves magicians.

"Don't be surprised Kazuma. Many magicians are opposing making Japan ally with the Nazis in the past but due to the strong influence the Nazis hold, the magicians who opposed were annihilated and the creatures who supported the rebels were also annihilated and that includes the creatures who can suck in mana as an egg. Why do you..." Moonlight paused and she turns to face the egg, " Don't tell me this egg is one of the eggs from those extinct creatures?!"

Although I have not confirmed the words of the Crystal Seed, I should believe that guy, besides, why would he lie to me? That seed has nothing to gain if he lies to me but I don't know if that egg is the pixie he is talking about.

"We shouldn't jump to conclusions immediately. We still have no idea if that egg is one of those creatures that can suck mana. Anyway, if they suck mana, isn't that a bit troublesome for us magicians as they can be dangerous to us?"

"From what I have read in a book, these creatures were friendly to humans and they were never a trouble to us. They devour mana as food and as well as a thing they use to produce energy that is beneficial to their masters like enhanced Mana recovery, element enhancement, fast casting time and more. They were one of the creatures that were being taken an interest by Nazis in the past but due to the battle, they were annihilated instead. If what we have gathered is true, then this egg would be one of the races that should be protected to anyone no matter the cost. Also, since you are the one who supplied mana on it even though you did not do it intentionally, you will hold responsibility for it in the future. And I think this is going to be one of the things you need to protect at all costs which means you need to get stronger. As soon as possible."
