Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～

, a memory of my past life.
First I boil the seawater, and collect the steam in a separate container as it cools.
It is a form of distillation that works by extracting the ingredients using the difference in boiling points.

But that’s not very realistic right now.

I could boil the water just fine, but cooling it would be a problem.
I could try burying it and then covering it with fur, but drinking from such a hole would be bad for humans I believe.
I don’t think that the countries and towns of this world are very hygienic as compared to the Japanese.
But unlike me and other monsters, the humans don’t have that many antibodies.
I can’t let her drink water from a beast’s fur.

Well, anyway, it’s either a camel or a cactus.

They both can supply both food and water.
But after running for a while I could not find a camel, and the cactus was also not showing up.

She may also be weak because she was rolling around in my mouth while we were trying to escape from the giant centipede.
Even if I were to move her carefully on my back there will still be some shaking, and there is also the possibility of her dropping.

I thought it would be better to take her with me so that I don’t go too far after she recovers a bit.
That way I don’t have to take what I gather back, or else I would have to leave it there and leaving it makes me uneasy.

Would it be better to take her with my wings? It will be a little difficult fighting monsters in that state, but I feel I could manage somehow if it was just cactus.
But forcibly using my wings would consume a lot of strength.
Also, moving about with my wings would expose my dragon scales…

I just feel uneasy leaving it to the ball rabbit.
I am anxious taking my eyes off of that fellow.
He will be able take care of insects, he’s quick and good at concealing.
But that guy, don’t eat Nina, okay?

I run while looking to my back frequently.
I could see that the ball rabbit is shrinking in the distance.
It’s good that I could still see them in the distance due to it being free of grass and trees, but wouldn’t it be useless if I can’t make it in time?

After looking towards the distance, it seems this area is the limit.
The ball rabbit looked at me, he was using his ears to fling the sand towards my direction.
I glanced back a few times irritated for some reason.
Certainly if I think of Ninas condition I should find food and water quickly.
I guess there’s no helping it that I get this nagging feeling thinking about it.

Is it to utterly destroy or dash to pieces? Well either way keep protecting Nina, im begging you ball rabbit.

I use [[Roll]] and leave behind the ball rabbit and Nina in the distance.
I’m concerned, but for now I should first find food and water.
Its either cactus or camel.

Come on, cactus or camel.
A cactus or camel.
As long as the centipede doesn’t come, seriously, I don’t feel like going face to face with it anytime soon.

While rolling for a while, I saw a green lump.
This desert plant should be a cactus.
It’s here, the cactus came.
I’m glad I found it early.
I have to quickly take it and head back.

While thinking of heading back quickly, I realize that it’s not a large amount.
Thinking about Nina and the ball rabbits needs…this much is not enough for the ball rabbit.
Well, the ball rabbit will be fine.
I’m eating as much as I usually do so there should be some room in me as well.

Considering he’s the [[Dessert Idol]], I should go on a diet.
Even if I eat and eat my body shape will not change.

I keep rolling towards the green lump.
At first I thought that my perspective was going crazy.
Because I’m rolling my senses dull a bit, so I thought that it was just an effect of it.
But, after a bit I started to realize that since there was nothing to compare its size too, my perspective may have been a bit off.

After approaching to a certain extent, I found out that the cactus was actually about 4 meters.
There was a huge cactus lying on the floor like a caterpillar.
It was probably a little smaller than me.
Even though I was a bit too far off to see properly, my guess should still be within 2 meters at most, and this is accounting for inflation.

Even if I can’t bring back the whole thing while using [[Roll]], just a small part should be good.
It would be better to bring both Nina and the ball rabbit here as there is quite the amount.
There shouldn’t be many like it.

I started to slow down as I got closer, the cactus mass then shock slowly and unnaturally, then it got up.
