Whether Levis trembled in fear or not, the legion's "dragonification" process continued. Line, who'd already climbed onto the summoning facility, bowed deeply to me and cradled the armful of eggs Levis and I had produced.
[Notice: Oh my, Line's condition is...?]
I won't be pressing the B button. Line, clutching the green eggs, was sucked into the cocoon. The small two-star slimefolk, barely a few dozen centimeters tall, began transforming inside the cocoon into a body the size of an adult man.
"Flauros, how long until Line's evolution is complete?"
Flauros waved its tentacles to indicate the time. It didn't look like I'd be able to watch Line's birth firsthand.
"I'm sorry, Line."
I gently stroked the top of the cocoon.
"You can't speak, so I've been relatively neglectful toward you. Please understand that this is the only way I could look after you."
