Little Girl

"Nnnmm!!" A cute sound rang out from within the house Gran and May were currently inhabiting.

Now a third party had appeared.

A little girl could be seen in Gran's embrace and it had been like this since who knows when.

Currently, the little girl was trying to remove herself from Gran's thick arms, looking a little adorable as she struggled. Her cheeks were red due to the amount of effort she exerted but surprisingly enough no sweat was formed on her forehead.

Finally, after wriggling out from the cage that was her papa's arms, the little girl looked around and silently observed the surroundings.

She then spotted the leftovers of last night's dinner in a corner and slowly crawled towards the pile.

*Thud*

Not watching where she was going, she suddenly fell off the bed and landed on her small butt before falling onto her back.

The little girl did not cry though, as one would expect of a child, as she had a curious look on her face. This feeling of pain that was coming from her butt was new and intriguing to her and she suddenly let out a slight giggle.

"Hyahhh... hehehe."

After giggling for a few seconds, she froze all of a sudden as though she had forgotten something important.

The leftovers pile!

She rolled to the side and planted all 4 limbs onto the ground as she continued the journey she was on before she was interrupted.

With sparkling eyes, she got closer to the pile filled with wrappers from food bars and glass bottles from drinks sold in the shop. She inched closer towards the glass bottle, only to find that she was looking at a weird image of a mysterious creature.

The creature's face was as if it was pulled by both ends but it did not diminish the irresistibility of the chubby cheeks that were equally warped and the large sparkling eyes that were filled with curiosity.

"??"

The little girl tilted her head in question only to see the creature doing the same. *Tilt tilt tilt*

Like this, the silent battle between the little girl and her warp reflection began.

...

Gran felt uncomfortable all of a sudden like something was missing somewhere. It was not to the point of being unbearable and the feeling could certainly be ignored if he truly wanted to but this new sensation aroused his curiosity and he decided to wake up.

As he opened his eyes, the first thing he found was two delicate hands that were not suitable for battle wrapping around his body. He admired the hands for a while as he remarked on the miraculous abilities of mana.

He was not repulsed by his current position as somewhere in his heart he had already accepted the woman he had recently shared a bed with.

'Not yet though, please wait awhile more.'

His pride wouldn't allow him to ask for the woman to wait for him, thus he could only silently thank her and apologize for his lack of response.

He stirred from the self-deprecating thoughts as he gently removed her hands from his body, sat up on the bed, and looked around, resuming the search for the thing that woke him up.

Suddenly he saw a creature that looked like it had a loose neck as it was tilting its head left and right while staring into a glass bottle.

"Monster?" He whispered to himself.

Unfortunately, the little creature had managed to pick up on it, partially due to the silence in the room, partially due to her abnormal sense of hearing.

The creature stopped her actions as she slowly turned her body to fave Gran.

But the moment their eyes met...

Gran's eyes widened in shock as waves of information appeared in his mind. No, it could be said that it was already inside his head and he had only just remembered them.

...

Gran looked at the little girl sitting across from him as she looked back with clear eyes filled with curiosity.

This continued for a few minutes until Gran finally spoke up, "So... do you have a name?"

What a doofus!

The little girl tilted her head as she looked at Gran, ignoring the question. Finally, looking as if she realized something, she looked at Gran once again and called out, "Papa!"

"P-papa?! Who is your father! I have always been careful when I brought anyone home, so you should stop with those lies!" Gran was visibly flustered as he tried to deny her words while also combing his memory to check that what he said was really true. But he was sure! Definitely!

'Wait!'

As he was searching his memory, he found a particular scene that he was not familiar with. It was like a third person's point of view that was forcefully inserted into his memories.

From it, he witnessed the entire event of how the little girl came to be.

'So, I am her father.' This day had been one of many surprises as Gran had suddenly gained a daughter out of nowhere.

Another shocking discovery left Gran in disbelief as he saw how much the little girl had sucked out from him. She was really fierce!

As the saying goes, 'you need life to create life'. Truly, a piece of Gran's strength had been used to hatch the egg, and he had guessed that May had to give up some of hers too.

"Well, you have given me far more in return though." Gran let out a rare gentle smile and rubbed her head as he remembered the perfect method for fusion. She quite liked it as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the big palms on her head, the warmth of his hand brought her immense joy. "Kehehe."

It was not an exaggeration to say that she had helped him pave the way to the higher realms of his cultivation.

"So, what do you want to be called?"

"Hmmm?" The little girl looked at Gran, blinking her cute eyes.

"Where did you get those clothes from though?" Gran sized up her outfit curiously. She was wearing a onesie that was made of black materials. The hoody and collar resemble the jaws of a dragon as soft teeth aligned the top and bottom of the 'jaws'.

The place where the dragon's eyes were located was instead replaced by two empty holes which had two long ponytails coming out from them.

Her hands and feet were cute little dragon claws and she had a pocket located in her belly area to finish off the look.

As Gran felt the materials of the onesie, a thought suddenly hit him. 'The egg?'

It turns out that the egg had transformed into clothes for the little girl, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that the clothes were actually part of her?

"You are one curious little thing aren't you, hmm." Gran picked her up as a feeling he never felt before overwhelmed him. Was this what it felt like as a parent?

"Sanya. Sanya Blew will be your name from now on." Gran said as he looked at her within his arms.

"Swan... ya?" Sanya slowly said as her eyes turned into little crescents as she showed a bright smile. "Swanya!"

...

"How! Could! You! How could you!" May was releasing flames from her eyes as she stared at the culprit who had robbed her of her chance to name her daughter. That was every parent's wish and this unfeeling jerk just took it away from her.

"You were asleep, there's nothing I could do." Gran just gave an unbelievable excuse and shrugged it off.

"Arghh! Little Sanya, do you like your name? Do you want mummy to choose a new one for you?" May asked the little girl sitting in Gran's lap, making Gran's eyebrows twitch a little.

"Papa! Mama! Swanya!" Sanya exclaimed loudly before letting out a giggle, hey ponytails swayed as her head moved.

"Ahhhh, she is so cute, fine, if you like that name then it's fine." May finally relented as she accepted her fate.

"Big deal, you can just name the next one." Gran said as he lifted Sanya up and exited the house. "Come on, tick-tock."

Gran walked out the door with a faint smile.

"N-n-next one? Hey, can you repeat that? You said next one right? Hey!" May chased after Gran, the previous commotion vanished from her mind as she saw hope for the first time.

"You can't take that back! You definitely can't!" She shouted out loud, clearly, she was in a jubilant mood.

"Yea yea, let's go already."

...

"So you are saying that we made this baby when we were sleeping? And I gave part of my stats?" May was currently carrying little Sanya in her arms as she walked beside Gran.

"Why didn't I feel you impregnating me though? Can a baby really be made so easily?"

As usual, she was focusing on the wrong thing.

"Check your stats dummy."

"Oh wow, she took quite a lot! 20 from HP and 10 from the rest."

"So it is not as much as mine huh. That's a relief."

"How much did you give?"

"About 100 from HP and 50 from the rest?"

"Huh?" May was shocked. "Wait, how can you give so much? Aren't you feeling weak or anything right now? I only have 100+ stat points, not including HP, taking away 50 would leave me helpless."

"Yea, a normal human starts with about 10 stat points give or take, it's no wonder you have only grown so much during this time. Increasing your strength by more than 10 times in just a few days is amazing already." Gran said,

"I spent many years training and cultivating, so naturally I would have higher stats, although not balanced due to my special physique. To give a comparison, my lowest stat is AGI which is now at 190."

May was shocked and speechless, she knew that Gran was strong and that she was catching up but she didn't know that he was this strong. This was including the fact that he did not hunt monsters much to increase his stats!

"Enough talking, we better roll the gacha before it gets reset."

"You go ahead. I already rolled before I slept, got nothing much."

Gran then proceed to do the gacha dance, however since he did not buy anything special, only 1 gold card appeared, which he swiftly stab with his fingers.

The golden care turned into particles as a monocle with cracked glasses appeared on his hands.

"What in the world is this?"

He put the monocle on, and when he looked at Sanya who was still in May's arms, he was startled.
