After this, we see the white tiger siblings. Seeing his sister unable to fall asleep, Fohl asks Atla to get into bed as he sings their mother’s lullaby at her request.

A few minutes later, when both of them seem to have fallen asleep, Atla comes down from her bed and gives a smirk that makes it seem like she has some ulterior motives.

The next morning, Naofumi is greeted good morning by Atla as she sneaks into his bed yet again. Raphtalia comes and drags her away from the room as she whines about staying there. Later, in Naofumi’s office, S’yne comes to visit him. On the same day, the dragon egg hatches, which introduces us to the group’s newest addition, a cute little friend.

Wyndia names the dragon Gaelion, and days pass by peacefully with our new friend. But during all this, someone has been knocking on Naofumi’s door and running away, so he sets a trap for it. Turns out it was Gaelion all along since he wanted to play.

They bring him to Naofumi’s room, where he accidentally swallows the Emperor Dragon’s core. Nadia rushes to drag Naofumi away from Gaelion as he suddenly turns huge and goes berserk. Before they could deal with and save him, Gaelion flies away, ending the episode.
