Chapter 260: Colorful (2)

"Now, child. Didn't you say you wanted to show your dad something?"

Sitting side by side with Ati on the sofa, I had to sit through a viewing of our daughter's cutesy performance. With my arm linked with Ati's, I watched the little lizard with a pleased face as she scratched her head with an awkward expression, then clasped her hands behind her back and wriggled her body as she spoke. But was that really an awkward expression? Her face did seem to change a bit, but with a reptilian face, I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

"Uh, well...... I'm not good at it......"

"But you said you'd show him, didn't you? Go on, show him."

"E-Ehehe......"

The lizard stood straight in front of me, brought both hands together, and began to sing.

*Kkaerururuk! Kkirururuk! Kkyaekkyaek!

Karururuk! Kkuruk! Kkyukkkururuk!

Kkiruk! Kkyaerururuk! Kkiruk!

Kkyaekkyaekkyaek! Kkyaekkyaeraeraekkyaek!

Kkirururuk! Kkikkyuk!*

That's a song, right? Seeing how happy Ati looked, it seemed to be a song. I decided to clap along and cheer. No matter what anyone said, she was my daughter. Those pointed ears and that nightingale-like voice proved it.

"Oh my, oh my, our daughter did so well!"

"Hehehe......"

The lizard wagged her tail, the corners of her mouth curling up into a grin. Seeing the corners of her mouth rise, that expression was indeed a smile. Ati hugged me tightly and spoke.

"It's the Song of the Ancient Dragons. Was it hard to understand because it's in Dragon Language? It's a song dragons dedicate to their parents."

"Not at all. It was sweet to listen to. Her voice and her mannerisms are exactly like you and me."

"Right?"

Ati seemed pleased. The lizard seemed even happier that I had praised her song. Ati gestured to the lizard.

"Child. Come and hug your dad."

She hopped like a frilled lizard and flung herself into my arms. Her scales were hard and her body was heavy. The moment the lizard settled in, a 'huff' escaped me from the heavy weight. It felt like I had taken a 60-kilogram steel ball to the body.

"Dad!"

"Yeah, that's right, our daughter! You've grown so much since I last heard...... Ati. Our daughter is already this big. You said in your letter that you were still pregnant."

Recalling the letter, I stroked the lizard's head. Her body, which looked hard enough to bounce bullets off, surprisingly still had young, soft scales that boasted a squishy, tender texture. A texture that made me wonder if she'd pop if I poked her with a needle. Ati spoke.

"Dragons don't have very long gestation periods."

"I see. I'm sorry. I should have come to visit before the child was born. 'I was busy' must sound like nothing but an excuse, right?"

"But you came all this way to see us, didn't you? Coming in person instead of sending a reply. That alone is more than enough for me. Here, come here."

Ati pulled both me and the lizard into her arms at the same time. Squeezed between me and Ati, the lizard let out what sounded like a pained moan.

"I-I can't breathe......"

"Oh my, I'm sorry. Our daughter."

"Our daughter. What's her name?"

"Arus. It's Arus."

The lizard said her name was Arus. Her bright yellow eyes darted around before settling on me. I was glad I wasn't the type to be scared of lizards and things like that. How would people react if I brought her to our territory? How would they react when they heard that sweet, nightingale-like voice? Would they go berserk, saying the crazy lord had awakened to yet another new fetish?

How would the mansion people react? How would Eve treat Arus? I stroked her head, lost in such random thoughts. Arus leaned against me and started chattering about herself.

"You know what, Dad? I can breathe fire now. Mom said that being able to breathe fire at this age is super fast even among Dragonians. She said it's probably because Dad is a genius. Dad. Were you a genius too?"

"Of course. Your dad was a genius too."

"And also, yesterday I played block stacking with Mom. I stacked it 5 floors higher than Mom. So Mom said I did great and made me snacks. But, I think Mom went easy on me."

"Is that so?"

I looked at Ati and asked. Arus was clinging to me, and Ati was resting her head on my shoulder, stroking my hair. She saw my mischievous expression and grinned.

"No way-. Our Arus was so good that Mom couldn't even get a turn?"

"Liar. Mom is way better."

Even as she said that, Arus didn't seem displeased. I leaned back on the sofa and closed my eyes for a moment. Arus's voice continued to ring in my ears.

"And, and also, what else was there. Right. Mom explained what you looked like, so I drew a picture. Mom praised me and said I drew it well too."

"Where?"

"Oh......"

What the hell. A tooth fairy that crawled up from hell? I laughed and stroked Arus's head.

"You drew it well. Arus. What's this stick here?"

"Mom said that Dad fights while swinging a stick with pretty decorations on it. So I thought Dad was like a fairy, so I drew wings here. And this star-shaped stick."

I glanced at Ati, and she had a pleased look on her face. I hugged Arus tightly and said.

"Dad is a much more amazing person than a fairy. Right, Ati?"

"Of course. Our Lucius is far more amazing than those fairy-like children. He's the hero who will save us from that wicked, evil Deorgon. Right?"

"Of course."

"Really?"

Arus's eyes sparkled. I was a little surprised to learn that you could catch a glimpse of intelligence in a dragon's eyes too. I rubbed her cheeks and said.

"Of course. Your dad can even use magic."

"Wow! What kind of magic?"

"If you hit someone's head with a staff, it can turn them into a good person."

"Wowww!"

Arus cheered, hopping up and down as if she had actually seen the magic for herself. With reactions this good, lying was actually fun. And so, we chatted for hours. Arus talked about playing with her toys and having fun with Ati. She also said that Ati would praise me when she was bored, which made Ati embarrassed. Ati blushed and gave Arus a poke.

"Oh, this child."

"Hehe......"

Then Ati looked out at the cliff crevices for a moment and stroked Arus's head.

"Arus. Time to sleep now. Good children go to bed early and wake up early."

"What? But Dad just got here......"

"Dad isn't going anywhere. He'll be here for a few more days."

After all, it would take time for the teleport carriage's magic power to recharge. I stroked Arus's head again. She had only received my touch for the first time today, but she kept nuzzling her head against me as if she was already addicted to it. After doing that for a while, Arus hopped off and went into her room. Only then did I notice that a new room had appeared in Ati's lair.

"That's Arus's room?"

"Yeah. Pretty, right? Hey, Lucius. The child's asleep now......"

Ati subtly slipped her hand into my pants, seducing me. But I had something to take care of first.

"Ati. Ati. Hold on. My coachman is asleep outside. Could you give me a decent space for him to sleep?"

"Oh, really? There's an unused room in the warehouse. I guess we can give him that."

Ati finally noticed the carriage standing outside the door. When she smiled and gestured, the massive door swung wide open and the carriage rolled on in. On the carriage, the coachman was knocked out, his tongue lolling out. Ati looked at him carefully before snapping her fingers. The coachman and the carriage disappeared without a trace.

"I'll get a notification when he wakes up later. Now, then......"

Ati was wearing her usual pure white dress. Since the fabric was thin, her skin faintly showed through. She grabbed my waist and pulled my pants down in one go. Seeing my erect penis, she smiled with hazy eyes.

"Ah...... Lucius...... Stay still......"

Her hand gripped my cock and began to move up and down slowly. The warm, soft sensation made me stretch my back and start fondling her breasts. Breasts that overflowed even when cupped in one hand. I liked the texture of her breasts. As I played with her breasts as I pleased—squishy like a sponge, firm like rice cake—she let out moans and began to undo the hem of her dress.

Her pale skin and pink nipples came into view. White fluid was beaded at the tips of her nipples. It was breast milk. She wasn't even a platypus, so why was she feeding milk after a difficult birth? I couldn't figure it out, but regardless, her breasts were dripping with milk.

"Uuuueut!"

"Kyaaht!"

And I came just from looking at it. Startled by my suddenly ejaculated semen, Ati pulled her hand away and stepped back. She looked at me with a slightly worried face and asked.

"Lu-Lucius? D-Did I...... hold you too tight or something?"

"Hoo...... No. I just got a little too excited. By the way, Ati. Are you producing breast milk?"

"Yeah. I am. I've been feeding our Arus a little at a time. Here, would you like to try some too?"

"Really?"

There was no reason to hesitate. I rushed down below her knees and lay down like a baby. Then I stuck out my tongue and began to gently lick her nipples.

"Ah...... Lucius...... Hehe...... You're just like a baby."

A drop of breast milk, beaded at the tip, rolled down my lips. The moment the breast milk, having seeped onto my tongue and mixed with saliva, slid down my throat, I felt a strange coolness and power flowing into me.

[You have consumed Dragon's Breast Milk for the first time. All stats increase by 20. This effect does not stack.]

"Eueup?"

A fortuitous encounter here? This wasn't breast milk—it was Stalactite Milk?

I smacked my lips and continued sucking on her breasts. Ati stroked my hair gently and let out moans.

"Aaang...... Lucius...... If you suck, like that, like that...... A-eut......!"

But no further stat increase message came after that. Ati looked down at me with a flushed face. She puffed out her cheeks and said.

"Really...... did you want to torment me that badly? Now, shouldn't you let me enjoy myself too? Hm?"

She gently lifted her skirt. Through the valley between her thighs, from which she had already tossed away her panties, a scorching heat surged. I felt my cock stiffen again.
