Three pairs of eyes stared straight at Nana. The little guy had just rolled over so that the green crystal could lie on its belly. It raised its neck vigilantly when it noticed the sight that fell on it, and its pale golden eyes turned around for a moment, and realizing that no one seemed to want to take its food, it collapsed again, nibbling and resting, and flicking its hind legs from time to time.

"Isn't it...... Eating a little too much?" Ed muttered, not wanting to admit that he was the slightest bit envious.

He didn't think Nana had turned green. The silver scales on that body were originally easy to reflect other colors, and there was nothing wrong with holding such a large piece of green crystal, it looked a little green. He was more concerned about Nana's already visibly bulging belly...... It's true that it's always eaten, but now it's a stone after all—a stone full of power, and it's okay to hold on to it to this point?

“...... Do you still have anything to eat?" asked Is.

Ed understood. He dug out the last two mille-feuille from his waist bag, which Naria had prepared for them, carefully protected by him with a spell, and still vaguely carried a little bit of the heat of the freshly baked food, and Fragrant Philip immediately looked away, and even swallowed involuntarily.

Nana lifted its short neck again, looked at the mille-feuille, and then at its candy, hesitating, unable to choose.

Ed decisively took the crystal, piling two mille-feuille on its stomach and shogging it behind its neck.

Xiaolong was stunned for a while, as if he couldn't quite understand the inexplicable behavior of these adults. But since its candy hasn't been taken away, there's nothing wrong with a change of flavor and something else.

As it began to attack the mille-feuille, Ed realized that Iss was not mistaken, it was indeed a little greener, and it was very green, as if there was a faint green light coming out of its body. But after only a few moments, the little bit of green that was so light that it was almost impossible to distinguish was completely gone.

"It's ...... Digestion?"

Even if it wasn't the first time he had seen Nana's way of absorbing power, Ed felt incredible, and didn't want to admit that his envy was almost turning into jealousy: "Can you convert any form of power into your own power just by 'eating it......'?" It's so easy. ”

He remembered Xingyi. When talking about the gods, she had said that she had even thought about eating them all, so that she could get all their power without having to listen to them...... It's really simple and crude.

"Isn't that the most normal way?" said Is, who didn't look up, "you have to eat to live—'life' itself is the most powerful force." ”

“...... Isn't it?" Filly said bluntly, "I can eat twice as much food as Ed, but I can't make a flame twice as big as him...... Life itself is indeed a power, but Nana obviously gets more than just 'life' from 'eating', right?—— don't be stubborn, I know why you don't want to admit this, you don't want it to be too conspicuous. But that's no longer possible, unless you leave it in the temple in the first place, and don't let anyone else know about it. But if you run around with it in your arms, all kinds of speculations about it will only be more bizarre than the facts...... It's ridiculous to hide it from your own people like this. We can only protect it better if we know it better, 'Little Dragon'...... It's no use that you're deceiving yourself like that. ”

Isis glared at him, a little annoyed, but unable to refute it.

"Anyway, it's not obsessed with 'absorbing greater power,'" Ed quickly changed the subject, "I think that's a good thing, doesn't it?"

"It's only been a few days old?" Fili sighed, touching the back of his head, "You're thinking too much...... I don't think a child can really tell which food makes it 'stronger', or that it's stupid enough to kill itself – it's not a goldfish......"

“...... You're a goldfish!" Iss was furious.

"Did I add a 'no' in front of me?" Filly couldn't help but laugh, "Is your ear a colander?

A serious discussion turned into a childish quarrel in the blink of an eye. Ed, who tried to dissuade him, set himself on fire and was soon caught in it, but he was always interrupted by meaningless words such as "I ......", "can I ......", "etc., ......", and was soon kicked out of the battle again, standing there helplessly in a daze.

- This is probably also a kind of venting, and it would be good to vent when it was done.

He thought to himself, suddenly meeting Nana's gaze.

The little dragon slowed down the speed of destroying the mille-feuille, looked at him for a moment, and then turned away casually, staring intently at the lips of Fili and Iscai.

Ed suddenly realized that it was listening...... How much can it understand?

He was a little uneasy. Before he could figure out how to stop the two who were getting more and more serious, Nana got up on her little belly.

It pulled out a small ball from the half-feuille that was still left, flapped its little wings upward, and slapped it precisely on his lips as Iss looked down at it.

"I think ......," said Ed, taking advantage of the fact that they had finally quieted down, "it means, 'Stop making noise, eat something'......"

"Eat!" Nana affirmed his translation, successfully shoving the shapeless mille-feuille into Is's barely open mouth before its wings could go no further.

Then it pulled out another clump and waved it at Fili, graciously sharing Ed a little more after the paladin happily took it.

It's really only a little bit, not as big as a fingernail. Ed held it and looked at it for a long time before shoving it into his mouth under the dragon's disgruntled eyes, smiling sullenly like a fool.

Then Nana dragged out its green crystal and pushed it out without hesitation, letting it smash against the hard stone slab.

That muffled sound made Ed's heart tremble involuntarily - such a large piece of green crystal is really valuable......

Yet it didn't shatter.

It was a very good crystal, pure and without cracks, still so rare green......

Ed crouched down, reached down and pressed it, splitting it into three pieces.

Nana, who had just jumped out of Is's arms, pushed the three crystals that were divided quite evenly around, looking up and down for a while, her eyes gradually changing from doubt to shock. Ed was a little smug at first, thinking that Xiaolong was shocked by his "great power", but when the shock turned into grievance, he was wrong.

With a smirk, he split one of them into three smaller pieces, pushed them in front of Nana along with the other two large pieces, and then as he had expected, he got a small piece with Fili and Is.

"Our Nana," Fili said, squeezing the small piece of crystal, "really...... Smart and generous!"

He shoved the crystal to Is, patted him on the shoulder, and showed the same generosity: "Eat, you're welcome." ”
