The Minister's Little Dragon Hatchling

The pigeon has returned (taking the blame). I've finally decided that, since I'm writing this out of love, I won't put it behind a paywall. Updates will be whenever I can manage them. I'll gradually get back to updating from here on~ Ever since a purple egg mysteriously appeared in his home, Tezuka began encountering strange things. While out shopping, he saw several children accompanied by exquisite little dolls that could fly. During the tennis club's training camp in the mountains, he saw a yokai that existed only in legends, along with a calico cat who claimed to be a great yokai and could talk. Little mummies, bull-headed imps, and a yellow baby dinosaur often poked their heads out of the pockets of some of his underclassmen. He even saw a little girl with dragon horns and a strange tail who could turn into a giant white dragon in the blink of an eye. As for that strange egg, it bounced around and was terribly mischievous. Whenever he played tennis, it would hop onto his shoulder and somehow never fall off. And only a handful of people could see it. Tezuka searched through all kinds of references, but couldn't figure out what sort of egg it was. Then one day, its shell finally cracked, and a chubby little purple dragon tumbled out. It wrapped its paws around his finger and began to wail. And so began Tezuka's life as a dragon keeper. Reader's guide and warnings: 1. A cheerful, child-rearing story. No romance in the main story, though there may be a romance plot in the extras. You can probably guess who it'll be with~ 2. The little dragon is my own take, and will have all sorts of strange abilities. 3. The main series is Prince of Tennis. The other crossovers are cute little anime, including a certain sweetheart, a certain Book of Friends, a certain dragon maid, a certain little mummy, and others. More may be added later, depending on how things go. 4. An old-school setup where the tennis characters go straight on to high school. No crossover with The New Prince of Tennis. Matches won't be described in detail, and there won't be any power scaling. Just watch the captain raise a baby dragon. 5. A crossover universe with many original settings. Some series' canon details have been changed, so please don't scrutinize them too closely. 6. Some characters may be out of character. 7. A cozy, slow-paced story about everyday life and raising a child. The author is working to improve their writing~ 2022/4/13 Theme: Companionship is the best gift
