In the evening, my mother called me from the ground floor to receive the parcel, so I got down with heavy steps.

“Is it meat or fruits again?”

My mother curiously looks into it.

I had to explain it to her so I opened the parcel in the living room.

Inside the box there were shock absorbers and an egg was buried at it's center.

It feels quite hard after taking it out. According to my investigation yesterday, lizard and snake eggs are often soft but this seems to be quite hard.

“It's an egg but it isn't a chicken egg.”

“Well, I think it's probably a reptile.”

I looked at my mother's face to confirm her scary reaction…..but she wasn't making some disgusting face…that's surprising.

“Maybe you … are you trying to keep reptiles in Sayuki's favor?”

“……Yes?”

I don't understand what my mother wants to say.

“That's because she likes reptiles. Dad also likes them, so it's in the blood.”

“Is that so?”

“When he used to live alone, Dad used to keep a lizard but I was not good with it so after the marriage he left it at his parents house. Sayuki seems to like a lot so she now keeps it in her room.”

I didn't knew that.

Eh, is Sayuki a reptile lover?

　… I didn't know that. I hadn't entered my sister's room for decade. Reptiles don't make much noise just still I never heard it screaming or anything.

“It seems like you have become accustomed to it by watching it. It's amazing that you get used to it

“

“……Yeah”

I was in total shock. I didn't what my sister liked but I didn't think that she will keep a reptile in the next room for years.

Over the past decade, I used to avoid excessive contact with my sister and escape the reality.

I really need to improve my relationship.

Thanks to my family's unexpected tastes, the egg problem seems to be solved quite easily.

I can ask my sister about the breeding method when she comes back today. Should I wrap the egg in a towel and leave it in the room for now?

Surely, if you want to hatch an egg then you wi protect it carefully because the egg shells are soft but this is hard like an iron so it should be okay.

Water is important. I borrowed the soil from my mother's kitchen garden, moisten it using the spray bottle and left the egg on it.

This is all I can do for the time being. I should follow my sister's instruction without doing anything excessive 

I texted my sister saying that I have something to ask her when she comes back. I couldn't help it but J should probably check if she is free.

“I am coming home early today so we can eat the dinner together.”

Sayuki, aren't you working?

I was a little worried about whether she could be angry because I disturbed her work. Since, I am left behind a decade so I don't know about the common sense of today's working society.

Now that my worries have been resolved the next is the limited time event tomorrow.

However, I can't do anything about it as the contents are unknown, what can I do to take measures?

I wrote in the Oracle something like “I feel happening of a fateful encounter tomorrow.” So the villagers seem to be looking forward to tomorrow.

　My sister rarely returned home at 6 o'clock in the evening, and since my father was already home, so the whole family had dinner together.

It was a scene which I couldn't image a month ago.

I was missing from this table everyday. This way the dinner feels warmer and more delicious than usual.

I was going to talk to my sister after the dinner but remembered that my father also liked reptiles so I decided that I could get more accurate answer if I ask now. I out my chopsticks down.

“I wanted to tell something to Sayuki but I want Dad to know it too.”

After I finished, my father and sister stared at me.

My sister is dissatisfied for some reason and my father is trying to maintain his stern expression but his cheeks are a little lose.

"What, do you want to say?."

“Is that the text message which you sent today?”

“Well, I told you that I was helping a village and I received a gift from then. Well, there was a reptile egg in it. I think it is a part of the village promotion. “

I thought about this village setting till late at night.

For now, it seems they are listening without any suspicion.

“That's why I wanted to talk about how to take care of it. I guess Sayuki and Dad like reptiles.?”

It's not like I knew before. I learned about it just today.

My sister and father responded to my desperate question.

"That's right. I don't know much about them, but I can only teach you some basics."

"You can ask anything. There is a set of breeding tools already stored in the warehouse."

Oh, they are more supportive than I imagined.

I brought the egg from the second floor and asked then for the advice.

"This shape looks like a reptile egg but has a hard shell. It might be a aligator or a crocodile."

"Is keeping a crocodile legal?"

The two are excited and are giving their opinions on this and that.

They seem to be chanting the reptiles name like a chant. They are telling me about the light, room temperature, etc I can't understand the 10% of what they are trying to say.

The result was that I nice reptile space was completed in my room.

It is something like sand and driftwood in an aquarium. There is also space for water in it. By the way everything used here was provided by my sister and father.

Since it was easy for me to complete it, so I would like to thanks my father and sister for what they provided me.

“I can't judge what it is till it's born, so let me know when it hatches. Don't forget to upload its photo.”

“Tell me immediately”

“OK”
