Chapter Six: The Egg Hatches

“So the guy told us the egg is actually an ebi...”—pause—“Uh, what was it again? An ebi...”—pause—“Well, it’s an ebi-something egg! They’re these, like, huge super-fluffy birds!” an excited Saori explained to Shiori and Aina. She’d immediately jumped on the two of them the second we’d gotten back to the store.

“A baby birdie, huh?” Shiori reflected. “If it’s as huge as you say it is, maybe we’ll be able to ride it!”

“We can! The guy down at the guild said some people use them instead of horses,” Saori explained.

“That’s really cool!” Shiori exclaimed. “I so wanna ride it when it’s big enough.”

“Me too, Shiorin!”

“We should totally ride it together, Saorin,” Shiori said.

Now that we knew what it actually was, my sisters were even more excited about the egg. And they weren’t the only ones.

“Mister Shiro...” Aina said.

“What is it, Aina?”

“Is it really an ebirasornis egg?” she asked me, her eyes sparkling.

“Yup. At least, that’s what the guy at the guild told us it was. He even said it was probably either some new type of egg or maybe a subspecies,” I said. “So you know what ebirasornises are, do you, Aina?”

“Yeah. I saw one once, when I was little,” she replied.

“Really? The guy at the guild told us they were really big. Is that true?” I asked.

She nodded. “They’re, like, this big,” she said, spreading her arms wide to show me how big they were. Or at least, she tried to. She was still a kid, so there was no way she could get her arms wide enough to accurately portray the actual size of an ebirasornis.

“Gosh! That big?” I said, exaggerating my surprise.

“Yeah! They’re even bigger than horses!”

“Wow. That’s impressive,” I said.

Bigger than horses, huh? These birds might be even stronger than ostriches, in that case, I silently mused to myself.

“Mister Shiro...” Aina said again.

“Hm?”

“I, um...” She trailed off, fidgeting a little.

“What is it?” I said, gently encouraging her to tell me what was on her mind.

“I’d like to ride the ebirasornis one day too...” she said shyly. “Can I?”

She peered up at me with puppy dog eyes, shooting an occasional glance in the direction of the egg. I smiled at her and gently stroked her hair.

“Of course you can. When it’s big enough, you can ride around on it, okay?” I said.

“For real? Can I really?” she asked, her face lighting up.

“For real,” I confirmed.

She let out an excited little “Yay!” and started jumping up and down ecstatically. The twins, meanwhile, seemed deep in thought.

“Saorin, what should we call it?” Shiori asked her twin.

Her sister thought about it for a moment. “What do you think of ‘Tart’?”

“What? You want to name it after a pastry? Sounds kinda dumb. C’mon, be a bit serious for once,” Shiori pouted.

“I am being serious, you big meanie!” Saori retorted, mirroring her sister’s pouty expression.

“No, you’re not!”

They were already thinking about what they were going to name this monster.

“Well, what do you suggest then, Shiorin?” Saori asked.

“Suama,” Shiori answered impassively.
