I woke up a few days ago, and first I had to get up to date with everything that has happened recently. First of all the integration of Carmis to the group, how can I say it, made me really happy with this fact, because I didn't know if my first intention when I met him was this, maybe to become his friend, but the fact that we live together from now on, at least it wouldn't make me feel like I'm the only guy. The truth is that having a guy by your side who can understand you feels good, because you know the truth, there are things that you can only talk about when you are among friends, whether they are stupid or even more stupid, or at least that's how it was with my group of friends, only between us in our stupidity we felt comfortable, although you could feel the looks or the words that we lacked a little bit of neurons in our heads.
Carmis was the first one to enter my room, since he had the habit of checking every certain hour to see if I had woken up, he was really too attentive, but even though he was so worried about me, he was not the first one in the room, since when I looked next to my bed, I could see how someone had fallen asleep with his head and arms lying on the same bed. That was Blaze who, to tell you the truth, I didn't think that he had been waiting for me to wake me up in a rigorous way all this time. She was really very unprotected and uncovered, there was no hostility nor did she show any sense of wanting to prevent future danger, she was just sleeping peacefully beside me. When she repeated to me many times that I should never let my guard down even if I am at home, danger can strike at any moment, she was really very strict before, but since the last thing happened, it seems that I had that feeling, the Kitten is changing little by little.
I gave her a flick of the fingers at that moment, which wasn't enough to annoy her, let alone want to hurt her, I just wanted to give it back to her after the many times she did it to me. She was opening her eyes, and the first thing she saw was M who was still in bed but with her strength fully recovered, either because she was still half asleep, but her attitude was more different from what I expected.
『Wake up Kitten, you know who you should never let your guard down with? hint, they are the ones who are going to cause you the most trouble for every silly thing they do, or at least that's how it was for me』.
I wanted to make it a bit entertaining at the time I woke up, at that moment I spoke, Carmis finally came into my room, and with energy this one was asking for the floor, although it does sound weird to be asked for permission to speak, at that very moment I told Carmis not to be so formal when addressing me, where the demon simply with a confusion on his face said.
『But then, how do you want me to treat you Master M?』
At that moment many things crossed my mind, 1 was that Carmis doesn't seem to know very well what it's like to have a friend, and 2 was that he was a boy with too many good values, you could even say he's a house boy, yes, a house of nobility. So at that moment I wanted to make it clear to the Demon, and determinedly I said to him.
『Are you really saying that? *sigh* I appreciate you treating me with respect, but it doesn't have to be like that all the time, I'm not your superior and I'm not your inferior either, treat me equally as you want to be treated, eh? You don't know how to behave with a friend, do you Carmis?』
『Well, I just found out that it's not like I thought it was』.
『Perfect! Then I'll show you how real friends behave! I'll tease you! I'm going to tease you! I'll make fun of you when you do something wrong or look pathetic! I'll take advantage of anything I find funny to amuse you and make the atmosphere fun! I'll talk to you about any nonsense and bullshit that comes to mind! I will treat you as someone who I want to see my clownish and even idiotic side! 』
Actually at that moment an idea came to me at the words I was saying, as I started to remember what my life was like when I met my friends, at that time, I just wanted to have a good time no matter what happened or what I said at that moment. Hearing my words, this for Carmis was obviously confusing, as it was the opposite of what he learned before, quickly through his mind could only come one person.
『Are you going to treat me the same as Jashin? *sad*』
『What? Not at all, but now that you said it, it does sound kind of ugly, but add this to everything I said, this asshole will treat you with all the respect he can *happy*』.
The only difference in every kind of relationship and friendship all over the world is that, there is respect and trust for each other, and it can be easily represented depending on the person, you understand yourself when someone is really kind, sincere with you and their way of being your friend, to when they really are not and are just acting in another way. A friend can act silly, serious, intelligent, loving, caring, angry, funny, annoying, there are all kinds of people in the world and their way of behaving with their friends is different.
『And that's what I like! I like to hang out with people who follow my bullshit! Those are what we call friends! With whom we can really form a long-lasting stupid and silly friendship! Do you understand Carmis? It's simple to see, there are all kinds of relationships, but with a friend is where you bring out, so to speak, a version of you that you don't show with others, with another asshole by your side, you can release that stupidity and not feel bad because there is another like you who enjoys it!』-『I emphasize a lot of stupidity and bullshit, but by matching with another person what you like, it's really a true friendship *smiles*』
It seems that M did go out of his way to make him understand in his words what a friend is, where for Carmis, this was like a class that had never been given, it was really something new to him, and he had not taken it into account. And when he related everything that M said, the demon could only come to his mind that.
『That's why they say that before you have a relationship, you start as friends first, right?』
『Those are 2 different things, if you want something much more personal and loving with someone, it is also noticeable from far away』-『Don't forget this Carmis, a friend is very different from your partner, and your partner is very different from your friend, I say this because....』
At that moment I wanted to make it easier for Carmis to understand, the moment I said that, some memories came to my mind, it was when I was still in primary school, I thought it was a joke and just played along as usual, but in those few days, my friend behaved differently with me, she was more attentive, she was more affectionate, with the simple fact of having accepted her words, she was happier for some reason, I didn't see it at the time, and a few days later she also went back to acting normally with me, I mean we went back to being the same friends as always. Wait? Now that I think about it, what she proposed to me at the time and I accepted out of pure habit, was real? In those few days that I didn't know, Menhera and I were ....
『A friend is a friend, and your partner is your partner.... it really feels weird now that I think about it...』
『What feels weird, Master M?』
『Well, your friend becoming your partner, don't you think so? I never saw her that way, that must be why it didn't feel weird at the time』.
With all that I've said now that I've finally started to remember, it seems like everyone got a bit of context and imagined what might have really happened. At this Carmis could feel it and wanted to shout it out at that moment, but he simply held back, he really made a decandent gesture that I did something wrong, I asked him what had happened, but he simply wailed for me and replied.
『You didn't even realize it, that must have hurt her a lot, but now that you told me I should be careful, it's better to show your true intentions from the beginning 』.
『But back to the beginning, the answer is!!! Friends! These assholes are always going to be by your side pulling out anything to make the moment fun』.
I think that in the end we did end up deviating a lot from what I initially wanted to tell Carmis, but really now that we are talking about it, I at least have that thought, a friend is a friend, and a romantic interest is a romantic interest, of course a love can be born between that friendship, but it still feels weird, I really find it very difficult to treat my childhood friend with whom we made all kinds of jokes and talked about silly things, to treat her as a couple. It's just.... a very hard change....
What Carmis and I were talking about, I hope it became clear to her what it is to have a friend, but just at that moment, with the wagging of her tail and her ears, she even stretched out like a cat, Blaze was rubbing her eyes wide awake.
『What nonsense have you been talking about? I could hear everything since I was starting to wake up』-『Is that really your way of looking at friends Furry Cat? How childish of you *mockery*』
『That's how I like it and I am』
『So all the times I saw you acting like a fool in front of me and saying stupid things, the arguments, the counter arguments, the silly fights, it was because you wanted to have a friendship with me? *mockery*』
『Yeah, that's what I wanted from the beginning...I wanted to become your friend Kitty...』
At that moment when the two of them were exchanging words, from how natural and normal Blaze always sounded, to M's direct words, a silence could quickly be noticed at my answer, even Carmis happened to look at Kitten, and asked what had happened to her, where I answered with my fist and palm very sure that.
『I know, he's having that, you know, when you freeze and stare into nothingness, what do you call that, it happened a lot of times to my friend's cat, he'd get really stiff like looking at a ghost or something』.
『But Miss Blaze is just staring at you, Master M』
『You're right, hey! Kitty! Hey! Wake up! Don't stand there stiff, you're scary!!!! Hey! Kitty! Kitty! Cat? Neko! Michi michi michi michi michi *happy* No reaction ....oye Blaze』
『What if I'm here and I can hear you, and what do you mean michi michi michi michi? You were calling me like I'm a cat?
『But if that's what you are Blaze!』
『!!!.....』
It happened again at that moment, for some reason when I called her name, again Blaze was silent at that moment, I really could not understand what was happening to her, when Carmis happened to look at her, he could notice several things in her gesture, as she was really embarrassed by what was happening. At that moment Blaze started to stare at me, she would stare at me as usual, this made me calm down and ask her what was wrong with her, and she firmly answered me.
『First of all, congratulations for succeeding in your first mission, you really tried hard 』-『And secondly, you know very well that all my friends are strong and capable people when it comes down to it, what happened on the Mysterious Island, none of them faltered and made me feel that I really have great companions, their concern and dedication to come out victorious, I'm very happy to be friends with them, and that's something you earned too M, you're a great guy *smiles*』
Blaze said it with total seriousness at first, but as she was talking, her words became softer and even gentler in her speech, it seems that she wasn't really being honest at that moment, whether it was because she was lying in bed lying down, he couldn't see that she was wagging her tail like she couldn't hide her nerves, this Carmis saw it and could only look at her with disappointment saying to her.
『You won't understand if you say it like that Kitten』.
『Of course she'll understand, you just watch Demon *proudly*』-『Besides like what Kitten?! You used to call me Miss Blaze! Why the change all of a sudden!!!! *cough*』
『That's what everyone calls you, and besides it suits you to be called Kitten, after all you are a cute Kitten *smiles*』
『You can't call me Kitten! And you can't call me pretty either! I just met you and don't forget that we have a fight pending!!!! *drenched*』
『I didn't say it to make you upset, it was just a compliment, you do get very angry Kitten』
『I get it, at first he was like that with me, he didn't even want me to talk to him xd Ah! By the way I gave him the nickname Kitten, I knew it suited him *smiles*』
『Oh! *mocks* So Master M gave you the nickname and you let him call you that *smiles* You'd better define what you want with Master M』
『I kept telling him to stop but he kept calling me Kitten!!! That's why I called him Baldy Cat or Baldy Dog!!!! Ahh!!! I don't even know what animal this brat is here anymore!!!! *nervous*!!!』
『Don't call him a brat!!!! It's Master M!!! Address him with respect!!!』
『I'll call him whatever he wants!!!! If he's a brat, I'll call him brat! If he's a child I'll call him a child!!!! If he's a fool I'll call him a fool! And so on, depending on how I see him at the time!!!! *red*』
Actually Carmis and Blaze were arguing in front of me at that moment, it should have been already, even if we say they are friends, it seems that there will always be these disputes between them, but that makes me more calm, at least they don't keep what they really want to say to each other. I tried to get up from the bed at that moment, but as soon as I made the first move, both Blaze and Carmis got ready to take care of me, Carmis had my slippers ready so I could walk, while Blaze went to the extreme, saying that I better keep lying down to recover my strength, he was really insisting on that.
『But I really want to stand up...』
『No way! You just woke up, but that doesn't mean you're fully recovered, I'll tell Zeta to make some food for you, that's right, Carmis, go tell the others that the Hairy Dog is awake』.
『At your service, Miss Kitty!!! By the way Master M, if you want to walk, warm up your slippers ready to be worn *smiles*』
『Yes...thank you Carmis 』
『Don't call me Miss Kitty either!!!! Don't be funny you damn Demon!!!! *drenched*』
At that moment when Carmis was leaving my room, she started to stick her tongue out at Blaze like a little child, and instead of keeping her characteristic seriousness, she got even angrier. From the attitude they showed at this moment, they really made me feel that they are very worried about me, especially Blaze, the fact that she doesn't want me to move from here until I'm recovered, makes me feel very protected personally, I'm repeating it a lot, but the Blaze from before would have surely beaten me out of bed with flames and blows.
『You still didn't reply to what I said earlier brat....』
『Huh? Ah! Your congratulations from before? I guess I should say, thank you...I too found what happened in Mysterious Island very helpful, I'll try hard from now on *decided*』
At that moment when I said determined even showing my fist, Blaze again didn't take his eyes off me, and it was obvious, it wasn't the answer he was waiting for, in his mind he was saying that M really didn't understand what he wanted to say. Seeing that she wasn't going to talk anymore, I would finally move on to ask her what I wanted to tell her personally.
『Blaze, what am I to you? 』
I told her in a serious way because I really wanted to know what I really was for her, I was direct with nothing to hide, at that moment Blaze could understand, I also had to be like that, direct and nothing not to be honest, she got nervous at that moment, her hand was sweating while I was waiting for her answer. With the previous topic touched and talked about, and having very much in mind how she wants to see a relationship in the future, what does Blaze want? Just to be friends? or to want to see something beyond that. M was still waiting for his answer, where Blaze was actually more nervous and embarrassed, because of what I was going to say.
『If you want to know mine, I see you as a great friend Blaze *smiles*』-『You are strong and above all determined, the way you protect those you care about above all things, says a lot to say about your person, I wanted the same treatment you had with the others, that's why I tried so hard to get you to talk to me too *smiles* and I think I succeeded *mocks* I remember little of what happened last, you were carrying me weren't you? really thank you for caring about me 』
M was being honest and direct to her friend Blaze, who she listened attentively to the boy's words, and when she could finally hear him fully, knowing that he did remember that she was carrying him, it put a blush in her eyes but she hid it long enough for M not to see it. But it was said and done, he managed to calm down and go back to his usual Blaze, he put his fingers on my forehead and I knew what he was going to do. He gave me a gentle flick of his fingers at that moment telling me.
『Of course I care about you, after all you are an unknown boy who earned the achievement of calling him a friend, you can trust me that nothing bad will happen to you from now on, I will try my best 』.
She said it sincerely at that moment, she said it from the heart, seeing the reality from the beginning, she could be sincere without hiding anything. While for M, to finally know that it was for Blaze and she herself knew that it was for M, this really made the boy happy, where after seconds of talk, M tried to get up from the bed again, but like an attentive cat, Blaze prevented her, but....
『Enseriously let me out....』
『Not until you recover, seriously that Demon what time is he planning to come back』.
『I'm not going to resist any longer.... my bladder is going to explode....』
The moment I said that, Blaze quickly got me on his back, while commenting that I won't pee my trousers a second time, but the moment I opened the door to my room to leave, he was met with the surprise .....
『You found us out already, good Kitten, Son M *smiles*』
『Till I finally made some progress here, it's about time 』
『Did it advance? More like it came to nothing, it's my chance to see what M wants with me in the future *happily*』
『Sorry for spying Blaze-nee-chan! But we felt we shouldn't interrupt this moment, I'm glad you're already getting along better with M-nii-chan *smiles*』
『They wanted to spy in the first place, I tried to stop them when I called them but...it's exciting to hear the gossip *smiles*』
Everyone had been behind the door listening to Blaze and M's whole conversation alone, this quickly more than made Blaze shy and nervous about this, she rather got angry and ended up exploding on the spot, she went on to complain to all her classmates that spying was bad and all that stuff, actually seeing her like that made me feel calmer that she still retains the one she was before. At that moment when I was going to take out the -----------, I could feel how the liquid was going down more, I even made a gesture of not being able to stand it anymore, but ....
『I could resist it a little...let me go to the bathroom please....』
『Get out of the way!!! Or else this brat will pee on himself mine!!!! You're all going to see when he comes back! 』
『That's scary Kitten!!!! *smiles*』
『I'm coming too!!! I grab the pecans and you run the hose!!!!! *happy*』
『Pecans? Hose?』
『*laughs*You'll learn in time Cream, but I'm glad everything's getting back to normal now *smiles*』
『That crafty Miss Rouge...can I open a portal to stop her? Miss Zeta?』-『(I could see something new from Master M, when he talks about his friends, he really says it with cheerfulness and encouragement more than usual)』.
Yes, the day to day life can be noticed that it will be much more fun from now on, where to each of the members of this colorful group, he was happy the way things were progressing. It really looks like there won't be a day of boredom with each of them.
-----------------------------------------------------------
While we were spending our days in a quiet way and resuming new conviviality. On the other hand, in several islands a peculiar creature that is not native to this world has been hanging around, as we saw before, we could say that it is a visitor that came with only one goal in mind, it was a parasite, it was viscous, had a deep darkness, it was noticeable that it was sticky because when something interested it, it clung to such an extent to enter inside the body of what for it would be the best being to control. He could live like any other being with simple thoughts and a little bit of thinking about himself, but the problem was that he did not have his own way of seeing things, he only knew that they are not even the beginning of the prototype to start, they are only the first result that for being very simple and effective for the most part, they were given the task of being able to restore a great power of different worlds where they go. The most characteristic thing is that they can possess living beings, but... if that is their only ability, then to what living being in specific they have to manage to get hold of them? It was simple, with the one that had more synergy with its creator, the energy that destroyed it and started everything at the same time, an energy that will always be present until the return of the endless cycle until it says so or someone comes to stop it all.
Destruction was their goal, they embark to different worlds where they could find destruction in a single person, people like M who ended up in this by pure coincidence or maybe not? And that is why this first parasite came to this world, all the parasites that are not even called initial prototypes, are really weak by themselves, any expulsion of energy or attack on them, could kill them at any time, they are parasites after all, they need a host with which to survive and become stronger. The good thing is that being many, they are connected as a hive, they do not know it yet, but they will evolve little by little, and in some future, many of them will disappear, even all of them, but for that reason, they are experiments and any advance will serve for a better result. They may be weak, but being many, they can turn that weakness into a strength and discover that by coming from a being outside the existing capabilities, they may acquire the minimum of all these skills...
The Parasite upon arriving in this world, knew that it did not have much power, everyone only has one chance, whether they created a portal for them or they did it themselves, but it was clear, this is their only chance and they must fulfill the given objective. Like a dark mucus, it began to move at night, among the leaves and trees that were there, there was no need to feed or drink water, they are not so thinking beings by themselves, they are hollow inside, and that same hole, can be filled with what they are wanting to do or learn from others, that's right, their possibilities were too great as a being that can grow as they want.
It could be noticed in a simple way, when he found some insects on his way, like crickets or mantis, the parasite only stayed still as if he was watching them, what they were doing, what they do, but just at that moment he could see it, as a spider from nowhere appeared to eat the cricket he was watching, he only stayed watching, he could not do anything else. He did nothing, said nothing, thought nothing, just walked away after witnessing this but.....
From one moment to another, he could imagine or it came to his mind, how he himself, a parasite to have the same situation to see a being weaker than him, the first thing he did was to devour and eat him in his dark viscocity, it was not him, the parasite was retreating, not only remained in it, on the other hand, also came to him images of himself escaping from something, a much larger creature, and when he turned to look what it was, with a simple attack, that parasite had already died ....
He stayed still in that same place of what he was moving, what was it, it was as if he was experiencing something, he was fine, he was still alive, but why he saw his own death in another side.... At that very moment when the moonlight was in its splendor, he could notice something in that island where he was, and a howl ended him directing his gaze to a small rock, a lone wolf had appeared in that same place. It was just there, howling like any other night, the parasite just stared, he stayed still because...he didn't have the capacity to release any sound from his own being....All the little he saw from now on and what he remembers, are really living beings in a living world, but he can consider himself someone alive? To be someone alive is to fulfill your duty of why you were created in the first place? At that moment the parasite was understanding for his own being, he was understanding something very present in every living being, he needs a real reason why he is here.
He had it in mind, he needs to get all the destructive power of everyone who possesses it, if he came here is because there is someone who has that potential. He can feel it...slightly but he can feel that the person he is looking for is somewhere in all these islands, he needs to find him, he needs to fulfill his mission and then ..... and then...and then what he has to do if he succeeds? Is his creator going to come after him? Will it all end? Will he be assigned another mission? What exactly does he have to do after fulfilling even the order that did not take major importance for his creator but is worth a lot for them. They are nothing, they are not even the beginning, they are not even the base, I just set them free and see what they do, if they fail, the creator will not be angry, if they succeed, maybe they will surprise him, but witnessing different emotions of a being outside of all this is really difficult and impossible. The Parasite would only go on with the first thing he has in mind, and that is what he has to go on living if he wants to discover what is beyond all this.
He threw himself against the wolf that was already paying attention to him at that moment, seeing that the parasite wanted to get him, the wild animal ended up dodging him and quickly put on guard to this, with his growls and a fierce attitude, he felt from his most basic instinct, that what he had in front of him was also a being that wanted to survive however he could in this world to which he was brought.
The Parasite would try again, it pounced with everything to the wolf, and this time expanded to a much larger aldo to catch it, which the wolf to see this, quickly launched a roar that .....Parece resonate both vibrations that ended up greatly weakening the Parasite that returned to its normal size, it was not that the sound was his weakness, if not as I said, at the beginning are the weakest things and anything can kill them.
As if he had received a great damage, at that same moment again he could see something strange, it exploded and disintegrated at the same moment, it was not him, it seems that it was another parasite from another world, again something else came to his mind, it seems that one took the route to enter the waters of the ocean and .... A few minutes later, it began to dilute leaving a dark part of the whole area, everyone in any part of the worlds where they went, died in a simple way as if it were a chain or law of nature, they could not survive everything and that.... At that very moment the Parasite began to tremble, as if he was experimenting or wanting something that already foresees as something bad, he did not want to end up as what he saw before....
He would try to get away from the wolf, but the same animal would step forward with a big jump and with barking showed him those sharp teeth, again came another image, a parasite was in the teeth of some animal and with its teeth they were swallowed and died at that very moment.... If I were a thinking being who already knows everything, I would surely think that I don't want this, that I don't deserve this, but not being one, I couldn't even think of regrets, if it lives then it lives, if it dies then it dies, one starts to become itself, when it takes importance to one of the 2 things.
The wolf at that time, noticing the weakness of the Parasite and its superiority in this chain of nature, launched itself with its claws to put an end to this creature that only came to harm the stability of this world.....But...When it least imagined it, it could not move for some reason, it remained suspended in the air, its jaw was open, and little by little the Wolf felt fear of what was happening....
The Parasite stretched its body as if they were vines and clung tightly to the wolf, but... not that these creatures were extremely weak? Sure, they are weak by themselves, but together they can become capable of more, if some parasites died in simple ways, others also managed to become stronger, possessing creatures and acquiring a way to survive this world that each one will understand and learn. It is simple logic that does not fail, before a failure, there will be a success, that was what the creator was looking for in all this, he wanted to see how far some creatures that were simply born from one moment to another could advance and from there, continue with the next level .....
The Parasite manages to come up with many things to think, some parasites managed to possess beings that have a greater strength than them, either insects, small animals, any living being with a chance to survive with their own abilities, but there were also strokes of luck, as a parasite managed to get their target quickly and easily .... .... everyone could see it at the time. Already one managed to get hold of one that has the destructive power. And with it, also the other parasites, became much stronger, since to survive they not only need to share information as a hive, but they can also have the ability to share and acquire a percentage of the strength obtained by others..... These beings were already evolving alone their little hours of being born..... And the more they possess any being even weak in the world, for them is a small step to become stronger someday, if .... and many had that same thought, that at some point in history, from simple parasites that are not even have a name, one day they will become the strongest and most thoughtful as all, like its creator, wanted to become like him.
The Parasite having clung to the wolf, would quickly do the same, but ... he realized something, just by clinging to the wolf with force, he was causing him harm and that....Quickly the parasite would possess him completely and it was simple to differentiate who was possessing, since the wolf that expressed itself as such, now was not reflecting anything. And he would walk to the front, to the place of the rock, since he wanted to do something when he saw this creature, he would stand on the rock, and with a gesture that did not reflect anything, the Parasite inside the wolf, would howl in the same way but...The howl became more powerful because.... every second that passed, all the parasites became much stronger among themselves, from what howled this one managed to stop and look towards a distant island, he had detected it, he had felt it, every time he can feel it much more present to be who is his objective, he has to do it, he has to get it, he also wants to learn much more of everything....
--------------------------------------------------
The days in our home were passing quietly, now that I think about it, doesn't time work differently in this place? I don't have very well understood neither the day I disappeared nor the day I appeared in this world, just the days go by and that was all, I say this because I could notice how my other friends were acting a little strange in all this, because many times they would throw hints of a special day or that something was coming so we could celebrate it all together. When I was with Zeta I would ask her about if she knows anything about why everyone else is acting weird, what she would answer me was that.
『If they are acting weird like you say, that means you get along with everyone, so am I M, I'm looking forward to that day *smiles*』.
I couldn't really understand what Zeta was telling me, but at least I guess that something bad wouldn't happen to me, and for some reason that makes me even more afraid of what could come, there was....I have to make accounts about all this. The day I disappeared I don't have it very definite because of everything that happened, but it was weeks after the High School Entrance Ceremony which.... just remembering it makes me feel really bad....Ya few weeks went by that I was locked up at home, it was already April wasn't it? first week of April maybe? Let's leave it at that, then I came into this world and until the Mysterious Island 5 months passed, so that means it's September, right? Sure, that makes sense, let's leave it October for the days when everything happened, because then .... there is nothing special in these dates as I understand, at least not personally in me, so why do they all look anxious so to speak.
At that very moment when I was with Zeta, Carmis came looking for me and asked me for a small favor, which was something that perhaps I did not see coming and made more direct suspicions that are impossible for me to believe.
『Will you teach me how to make a cake!!!』
Which... I could only close my eyes more clearly in my mind, are they really thinking that? But there is still a long way to go if that's what they intend to do. Maybe you didn't know it until now, but in elementary school I was very interested in cooking, especially baking, so I used to cook by myself whatever I wanted, thanks to that, I returned to a friend who was a lover of savory, to always want his favorite sweet, that's right! I have a friend who loves churros!!!
『A cake...I never made one, but we can learn right now, my Sister and Mom made simple cakes and I watched them, I guess it's similar but with fruits and creams no?』-『Zeta, can you give us a hand?』.
I was addressing Zeta at that time, as she was engaged in preparing food for everyone all this time, at my suggestion, she was happy that I offered this to her, and with a smile she replied that.
『It can't be hidden anymore, I will cross this off the things I wanted to do with my children *smiles*』.
『....Hey Carmis, does he call you son too? 』
『Sometimes she calls me son and sometimes by my name, but there's nothing wrong, Miss Zeta is happy about that and it makes me happy that she spoils me sometimes *smiles*』
『You're getting caught easily my friend....』-『Hey Zeta, take it easy on your habit of treating everyone as your son, Carmis is already a little man, treat him as he is, what's more, when I'm also a little man, take it easy on him too, okay? 』
『I can tell you're still a child who needs mommy M's guidance 』
『???』
『No matter how little man you are, or how much you have grown up and stopped being a child a long time ago, anyone no matter how old, likes to receive their mother's love until the end!!!! So don't worry M, Carmis, with your mother you can always show yourselves as weak as you are, that I will take care of you and protect you in everything *smiles*』
Zeta seems like she wanted to give us to understand her way of how she sees this kind of vision, which hearing this, makes some sense, I guess we all want to re-experience what we liked to receive as children, does growing up make you lose all that? Of course not, we're only forced to give it up since that's how society works, but now that Zeta said it, even as big as I am, I'd like my dealings with my mother to stay the same, to always see me as the most important thing she has.....
『....(I wonder how my mom is....)』
I thought about it, but Carmis, as I already thought, with this last thing he let himself fall into Zeta's clutches, and went to get closer to her to be able to open up completely. He commented that when he was little, his mother, in spite of how little she saw him, in that short time she really treated him with much affection and love, she was serious in her duty but with Carmis, even being an adult, she managed to pamper him, caressing his head and with just her smile she showed him that he was still a child to take care of all the time.
When I saw better, Carmis was being hugged by Zeta who was equally happy, how could I look at this? It only made me think that Carmis was much weaker than me in that sense, when I saw it, Zeta in the same way with her hand, she was telling me to come closer too so she could give me a hug, which I would....
『I miss my mother very much....』
At that moment I also fell because of how sad it made me remember all this, and with her hug from Zeta I just discovered something new in everything she was pretending, she was just being a support in that affection and personal space that every person should have and not be missing, I already told her not to act like my mother, but I think I understand her way of being now, Zeta wants to be a help where we could fall apart at any moment and that someone would support us faithfully until the end, she was really good at doing that job. ...I still think Zeta's son would be really lucky.....
-------------------------------------------------
Back in the kitchen, first I had to recover from all the embarrassment that happened before, I really can't believe that I looked really weak and let her comfort me with her hug, I looked at Zeta calmly with her apron and a smile, and she really made me someone to fear in many ways. With a loud clap, we would move on to preparing the cake which....
『Yes say either of you, whose birthday are we celebrating? 』-『Don't be a joker, sometimes you're both being assholes 』
I wanted to know right then and there, I happened to look at Zeta who was still smiling, I happened to look at Carmis who was doubtful with this, both were ready to answer me, and as if they were synchronized, the answer was.
『Well yours M』『Let's celebrate yours Master M』.
Which only made me even more confused, as it was really what I was assuming all this time, I would give a sigh at this and quickly tell them that they were totally wrong.
『It's October, my birthday is still 5 months away, so there's no point in doing all this for me, it's probably someone else's birthday and they're hiding it with mine so I won't notice, they really made a good one』.
『But we're only a week away from your birthday, son』
...That answer Zeta told me, really made me look at her with the most confused expression I put on, I quickly denied it to her as it was impossible that it was only a week away, I did the calculations myself, although I'm not good at maths.... it's only October, my birthday is 5 months away. But....remember what I said earlier? That the time and dates were a bit different from what I remember? At that time Zeta explained it to me at that time, when I came into this world, it was October, and with the 5 months that have passed we are already in March, that is a few days away from my birthday.
Wait wait compadre....madrecita...in my world it was April when I disappeared, and when I appeared here it was October?....
『Dates and time are handled differently in each world....』
At that moment of realising that, I threw myself on the kitchen table and was sinking my face with the base of it. So this only made me more confused, then what time should I follow, what I believe to adapt to the time of this world? Because if so, then I still have one more year to go, but for them it's inches away from my birthday and...I stood up at that moment, and thinking things over, I made a decision!
『It doesn't matter to the chili! In a week it will be my birthday and I will be 14 years old!!!!』 -『So we are speeding up my growth!!!! Yippee!!!!!!』
I'd better not complicate things too much and let things flow the way they want, I'm not going to make a big deal out of this because it's really complicated, if I'm going to be 14 soon, then I'm going to be 14!!!! Now that I think about it, I had that in mind before, how come I forgot? Yes, being asleep all that time really made me change a lot of things in my mind..... Besides, having to cancel and turn off all this desire to celebrate my birthday would really make me feel bad about each one of them, my birthdays before....*smile* Menhera and Rino really made me feel that I would never be alone in those years.
At that moment when we were already making progress with the ingredients, we realised something, there was a lack of milk at that moment, and as if it was a product of me waiting for her to come in. Rouge had appeared with a bottle of milk, which made both me and Carmis feel doubtful of her.
『What's wrong? Why are they staring so much? Ah! Have you noticed how attractive I am? *smiles*』
『Thank you so much for bringing the milk Rouge, ???? M? Carmis? something's wrong?』
We really didn't take our eyes off Rouge, at that very moment I would ask Zeta for the bottle and stare at him and then at the Sucubo, I would give it to Carmis who would do the same, we really didn't trust Rouge very much at all ....
『I see they still haven't forgotten about that night 』.
To sum up what happened that night, just as Carmis and I promised, we were going to have a nice glass of warm milk with cookies. I don't know why, but we were really looking forward to it, it was like the best snack in the middle of the night and even between compas that we are now. Thanks to what I told Carmis days before, it seems that she is finally understanding little by little, and she follows me in the nonsense I talk.
『I used to go to bed before it was 20 o'clock, I would turn off the living room and the TV that was on and I would rush to my room and cover myself in bed, because I thought a demon was going to appear and do something bad to me 』 -『And now I've even befriended one *happy*』
『We used to have the same thing happen to us, if you left your leg out of bed and out of the sheets, the sock-headed human would come....and if he saw that your foot was bare.... the next day you would wake up with a sock!!!!』 -『And it wasn't a joke! Since one day I wanted to try to get to know him, but I was overcome by sleep and what do you think! I woke up with a sock!!!! Who sleeps with a sock in bed!!!! That smell must kill cockroaches!!!』
What really happened was that, when his servants checked Carmis' bedroom, they noticed that he had one foot out of the sheets, and instead of putting him back to bed, they came up with the idea of putting a sock on him so that he wouldn't get cold. But of course he didn't know that and was left with the belief that it was real.
『I never saw or felt him again, but I'm sure that one day he will appear again, and when he does I will ask him to !!!!. Let's have a sock business!!!! If he creates them out of thin air, then it's just a win-win!!!! How about it Master M!!! *excited*』
『And may they have designs here well cocky, with the hair standing up and the boy 10!!!』
『Any design? Then I want one of blue hedgehog and another of....uhm...ah!!! of Medusa!!!! That way it would sell a lot!!! Yeah, for sure no one will be able to resist it *proud*』.
Actually talking about nonsense to pass the time, it was fun for me, it made me remember the days of Primary school with my friends and each one of us would say something silly and when we least imagined it, we were already being denounced by the school Principal, but what good days those were. We were drinking our milk and just when we were about to finish it, we were not the only ones in the kitchen, Rouge had also come for the same thing, to drink a glass of milk.
『Good night Rouge』
『Good evening Miss Rouge, would you like to join us and talk about beliefs of little ones? It would be nice if you join too *smiles*』.
Carmis was offering her wanting to join the conversation, it would be also fun for her to join, she would surely comment something interesting as Carmis said, at that Rouge with just her smile this indicated that she would join our conversation and with the bottle of milk in hand, she would go on to say.
『Well, then I ask you, how do you think or who refills the same bottle with milk again? *smiles*』
To what he said, quickly Carmis commented that it was something interesting to solve, but to me I didn't really see much sense in it, but now that he said it.... every time I saw the refrigerator, the bottle of what seemed to be running out, from one moment to the next it was full again. It's a good mystery to solve, so for both M and Carmis were excited about this. As if it was a class, Rouge asked where the milk came from, quickly Carmis raised her hand to ask for a vote and answered that.
『Milk comes from cows!』
『You're right, point for Carmis! But being more specific, any living thing, can produce milk, don't forget that, even you can do it』
『Seriously? *excited*』
『I never lie *smiles*』
『.....Hey.....』
『Next question! You must already know M, someone of us has the task of refilling the milk bottle if she notices that it runs out, she always checks at the same time, if it is full, she does nothing, and if it is missing, she makes it up herself, the question is, who is that person who does it?』
I before his first question already became somewhat strange to me what Rouge wanted to refer to, but before the mood that was generating, Carmis was immersed in this, he liked the thematics of continuing to answer the questions, as if it were a small child, I thought about it in who could be the person to this.
『Is only one special person in charge of it, or is the person who sees that the bottle is empty the one who puts it back together?』
『I said it before Carmis, today a special person who is in charge of it *smiles*』.
『With it's only one person, then she must be the most responsible of all....』
『Hey M, are you going to leave all the homework to Carmis? You think about it a little bit too *smiles*』
『That's just what I'm doing....』
Everyone started to analyze about who could be the person who refills the bottle with milk, Carmis figured it could be Zeta, since she's the most responsible of all here, plus she's in charge of the food. But Amy could also be the one who does it, if she is given an order so to speak, she is going to fulfill it, easily Zeta could have asked her to do such a task but.....
『Hint, Amy always goes to bed at 10pm and never wakes up again until the next day, at a time close to what I said she's the one who fills in, I'll take away one *smile*』
It wasn't Amy, so it could be Blaze...it is a cat after all, and relating it as such is simple, but instead of stuffing it wouldn't it be taking it? For some strange reason I can't imagine it... So Cream? She always helps with the little chores around the house and always lends her support to everyone, having her take care of this might be feasible, but it was a no. Cream goes to bed very early as she can't resist sleep. We were only left with 2 options, Zeta or Rouge, which Carmis happened to look at the Succubus and simply said.
『Nah I don't think so 』
『Wait Carmis, don't say it so simple.... there's a possibility....』
To which I was determined, Rouge happened to look at me a bit more serious at all this, Rouge was asking about why it seemed to be heading towards her person, which with a frightened gesture I was trying to justify it.
『Because it's the only thing there is....Zeta can't be since she always takes her bath at this hour, Cream and Amy are sleeping, and Blaze at this hour does surveillance outside in case something might attack us....』 -『The only one who likes to wander around at night are always creatures like you, Carmis, Rouge...being a Succubus and Incubus they have this need to do what their instinct tells them, the night must empower them, they can't repress their deep desires .....』
『You say very interesting things M *smiles*』. -『Our instinct can't be suppressed? According to what you say, nights makes us more free to our desires, then when it happens for example a stronger night because of some event, we will let our race instinct flow more freely? *smiles*』
『That's right, for example Blaze, she every night watches outside because that's the way she is, she has that protective instinct that when she doesn't fulfill it, she feels she is not herself, the same happens with you, you can't hide your sexual desires all the time, and in order not to explode and make a stir, you release it little by little without us noticing it!!!! 』
It was clear with what I thought, according to me I really thought about it a lot to come up with that conclusion, I felt like that game where you justify everything and shatter your opponent. Rouge happened to look at me and asked me....
『So where did you release that sexual desire? 』
When he said it...I really had no answer other than the obvious, at that very moment the clock struck 22 o'clock and gave clear with my previous deduction. I was pointing seriously as if I was in the most correct of all, that's right!!!! The milk bottle was that!!!!
『Rouge!!! You are the cow!!! You are the milk!!! You refill the milk bottle at this time!!!! The milk we've always drunk!!!! Actually it always came from you!!!!!』
I finally said it, and I was really embarrassed about it, I don't think I had ever been so red about this statement I made, but I didn't have to take it back because it was the right thing to do. Rouge to this was smiling and quickly in a provocative way told us.
『With that I'm the cow *laughs* That one I didn't expect *happy*』.
『Carmis!!! Spit out the milk right now!!! Eh???....CARMIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!』
I threw the milk into the sink after knowing that, I told Carmis to get rid of his too, but when I looked at him, my friend Demon was already on the floor lying on the floor throwing up rainbows, no way!!!! My friend fell down in an innocent way!!!!! I quickly supported my friend who could do little, he just babbled saying....
『Forgive me Medusa.... I was unfaithful to you....*die*.....』
『CARMISSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!』
Before everything that was happening, Rouge was having fun with this, and quickly told us the truth, her objective was clear to make us think that it was her who was filling the bottle with her milk, although of course I don't know why the most erotic way possible came to my mind...Is it that...is this also a product of the fact that I am growing up? The older I get, the more I will have these thoughts?
『Sorry, I used a little trick, you thought it refills at 10pm, it refills at 11pm, Blaze always comes back at that time and in passing also refills the bottle with milk from the reserves we have in our storage *laughs*』. - 『Really, it's going to be fun when you grow up more M, I'll be looking forward to it *laughs*』.
At that moment I really looked like a total pervert, at the end of all it seems that he did make it, a way of embarrassing himself with his word play and his double meaning that he has, but this time I already deduced it wrong because I was so used to his way of being, and that played against me. Already returning to the kitchen with the preparation of the cake, we were still looking at Rouge in a bad way.
『I already told you it's Blaze who fills it, it's 100% pure cow's milk, or of course M, depending on which cow you're thinking of *burla*』
『Stop it!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!! Let's start cooking but now!!! and you too Rouge!!!! Come help us for all the inconvenience!!!!! 』
『What a nice boy, even if I wasn't invited I would have butted in anyway, I'll try my best to give you some quality candy!!!』
And with that, the Sucubo also joined the preparation of the cake, where each one of them, by their own way of being and personality, made much more fun what at first seemed to be something serious. Really being able to coexist with each one of them and in the same way they exchange words and acts, made me feel really comfortable, I hope this lasts forever, forever?...I want this to last forever?....While we were having a good time, the parasite was also growing in its own way.
