First thing i hear in the living room is that there's a mark of footsteps going in and out of the bathroom into the garage. It resembles that of a dirty pair of boots worn by farmers.
*door opens* I notices that there is an unknown dimly lit door that i haven't seen in a corner end of the room.
(So this is what a pocket realm is?
Guess this means that Carmine is out for a break and Raisya'll be out of her room?
Might as well give him a surprise on the other end of this side)
*door opens* I open the door on the corner end to confirm my suspicion and the one thing that came to me first is the dust and smell. *dusty wind wooshes*
I closes my eyes because of it. (*sniffs sniffs* ! Oh God, the air is full of charcoal and dusts of iron! 'Elephant Smelling' = Inactive)
My nose isn't as sensitive after a few seconds, but not for my eyes. (God's Sake, after a stink on the nose now it's a sting on the eyes?! Can't i have myself a little bit of peek to what's in it? I can 'see' why this family has protective googles in the living room. Maybe i should go 'borrow' one)
*door closes* I clean my eyes with my hands, trying to put up with the pain instilled inside.
(Damn, the sting still lingers on even after the door is closed. God, i should've asked for Ishka to com-) *thud*
I bump into something meaty and chunky, which causes my body to be unstable. "Whoa, i almost slipped there... Is that who i think it is?"
"(C) Heh, well well well? Here i thought Rex's the one who left the door unclosed but what do we got here, we got us a boy scout!"
I blink several times and there's Carmine, his face covered by his protective googles and a face bandana. His arms crosses each other and he stood there, towering over me.
I look him straight in the eye, doing my best to maintain my poker face. "Uh, i heard some noise and thought it's best i check what's what?"
"(C) *chuckles* Yeah yeah sure, ye cheeky runt" His hand reaches out behind me.
"Fueh?" My view of the world got lifted, so is my body.
I'm being picked up in the back by his left, not being able to put up an effective resistance. "Uhm... Uncle, what is this?"
"(C) Ya'll get when 'cha get it" He walks while not fully anwering my question.
We're heading back into the door i opened just now.
I look up into Carmine's face to express my concerns. "Uncle, i'm not so sure why you're picking me up, but surely you know that it'd suck if i were to not have a protective googles, right?"
"(C) Yep, and thought ta meself it's better ta have 'nother more fo' situations like this. 'Sides, can't hurt ta have a peek ye own self, wouldn't it?" His left hand puts up something on top of my head, i squinted because of it and my view later is covered in gold.
My ears is feeling it's pulled a little, then i noticed that my mouth and nose is covered.
"Oh? Thanks for the googles and facemask, i guess?" Feeling a little grateful with what he did to me.
"(C) Eh, don't mention it. Buckle up, buckaroo" He opens the door with the other hand.
*door opens and closes* Instinctively, i cover my face with both hands. The smell and sound of what happened then didn't struck me again, so i put down my hands.
I widen my eyes upon seeing what's on the other side, as if i'm witnessing a new horizon openes within me.
The room is closed, there is no sight of an outer world and mostfully coated in black and brown.
The walls, the ceiling and the ground is dyed with ashes of black.
The heat that is inside is not too hot but just enough to make a weaker person to bail out within 10 minutes standing around.
Armours, weapons, glimmering stones and crystals laid out on the table all rackety with the finest creation being set out on their own stand and shelves.
An Enormous blackboard that describes what looks like a thruster for boots, a possible blueprint for a prototype on the work.
The machineries and tools that is not available on the outside, with the most to stand out is a 3D printer-like box.
It just screams 'I am a dwarf, in and out'
"(C) Impressive, ah? I'll be truthful with 'cha, i ain't showing off these kinda thing without 'em talent, skill and the wills for 'em"
I nodded along his words. "I get it, but why am i still being picked up?"
"(C) Routine's always include picking me kids up at least once a week, them all chuffy 'n' chumpy fo' my heart"
I put a slightly concerned look. "Including Ishka?"
"(C) The merrier the better, yeah. Heck, when the kid Qaiz comes by, he weights twice than me girl! And they're all over in the 80's"
My face froze upon hearing that. (... How often do you not lift weight, big guy?!)
"Okay~, i guess that means i won't be able to leave your side until you're satisfied, is it?"
"(C) ... Guess not. Need ta get 'tis one done 'fore i munch midday"
As i heard that word, i got reminded on another thing why i'm here, to test out a way to improve Carmine's smithing. (Should've put that one into 'Task'.
Welp, guess i'm still a forgetful one even in this world)
"Say Uncle, don't you want to know a way to harden the materials that is used for your work?"
He rolls his eyes after me. "(C) What? Ye wanna say that i should buy Mythril every now and then for a rookie?"
I point my right index finger toeards the glimmering stones and crystals. "No, but a way to make the materials Absorp Mana in in a way that they can best Mythril just enough"
"(C) *sighs* And how were i ta do that, uh? Where's them instruction manuals?" He scratches his head, as if not wanting to hear out my thoughts.
I tap on my head with my right index finger. "Where else? Put me down and i'll guide you"
Seconds passes and he quit scratching his head. "(C)... A Gritt's always a bold breed. Aight, so what do you want me to make, kid?"
My mood lightens up with him convinced. "A knife" I open Guide as i'm saying this.
(HUD > Guide, Search keyword 'Mana Absorption' )
[ Searching. . . ]
"(C) A knife? Hmm, for who?"
"The one who always uses it in this house, of course"
"That way if 'tis works out, both sides will be satisfied... Alrighty then, so what's the first step?"
[ Results : 'How to increase effectiveness in smithing by Flowing Mana for the materials' ]
(Dynamind). The effects of Dynamind is taking place, like how Carmine's mouth moves snail pace. (Lay it out for me, HUD)
[ 1. The basics of feeling Mana, Absorbing and Flowing it is required. An abundant source Mana such as Mana Stone or another person with one characteristic is recommended as the process will be quite tiring.
After preparing all of the above, pick out the object you wishes to smith.
2. In the process of melting and hardening and refining, face both hand above it that Must be naked while the iron's hot.
3. Condense the available Mana onto the object.
Too much and the object will scatter out sparks in all direction, too little and no improvement can be done so do be advised to balance out with instincts, intuition and other measurements for the Mana.
4. When the process is done, confirm the result by absorbing and flowing mana in and out of the smithed object. Absorbing it will decrease the improvement. Flowing Mana into it will increase the improvement. Do be wary that as time goes on, the Mana inside will empties out if used in an overload of Mana such as coating it in Ice magic.
This way the smithed object suffices the need for further Mana Enchants. ]
(Looking at it and doing it is the difference.
Mana Enchant? I'll look into this later.
Now it's time to put this to test) "Start off with the usual process of your work until the melting part, and i'll guide you when the time comes"
. . .
Orange sparks when he hammers iron and vapor comes out when he cools it down in a bucket of water, like always of a smith's duty.
The dwarf that's holding out the iron with his tools and protective gloves, faces me that is standing beside his left. "(C) Ey Kid, iron's hot! What's next?" He nods me to the iron that is on a smithing table
"You have to Condense Mana into it, with your hands naked"
He abruptly facepalms after hearing this. "(C) Shite kid, i dunno 'bout the Condensing part! What then?"
(Crap. I thought you'd be able to, there's possibly a reason for this but that's for later!) "Step aside and let me do it!"
He frowns over me trying to take over the process. "(C)... Fine, don't take too long" He proceeds to go on taking a chair.
"Also, can you prepare one or two Mana Stones?" I point towards the stones
(I know that there's other method's aside from drinking Potions, and Raisya's may hate me for showing up suddenly to asks for some of her's)
He flails his arm around when i asks him for them. "(C) Don'tcha worry 'bout that, always in ready here in me pockets. Ye go on do what 'cha doin' "
(When you put it that way... Welp.
No going back with this, now!)
I readies myself and hands out my naked hand that was washed seconds ago. I feel the overwhelming heat as it goes over to my brain. (Agh, i haven't even started and it's this bearing?!)
I start to condense Mana into the knife while keeping an eye out for the meter.
Blue-ish light seeps in from my hand onto the knife and with time, the thickness of it starts to accumulate. (I left all of the inside in my 'Inventory' just a while ago for this, i hope Rex won't be home in that time i'm here.
I'm glad i spend all that time involving Mana in it's entirety, and after the Earth magic training test just then i'll surely be able to grasp it even more.
Having headaches when i almost go down to 35, a day equals 10 more increased.
I have the maximum capacity of 252, but i don't know how much will be spend with this... Here goes nothing!)
The meter goes from 252 to 202 in a mere 5 second. Seconds later, something popped up above the knife.
[ Condensing : 8% ]
(Huh, that'll make it easier. Thanks, HUD. Though, i'm worried about the Mana)
I continue along until a certain point is reached. [ Condensing : 45% ]
(Mana is at 35, time for a fill). I hand out my left hand facing Carmine. "Uncle! Hand me a Mana Stone!"
I feel something heavy in my left and stops the process of condensing. The light flutters away as i did so.
I absorbed the stone with both hands with the feeling of heat surging in my body and i shrugged it off as if it's second nature and condenses Mana onto the knife again and the light seeps in again.
[ Condensing : 77% ]. My head feels disoriented as i see the meter for Mana. (Mana's at 22!)
I hand out my left hand again. "Uncle!". The process of refilling and condensing goes about twice, and just when it almost reached peak 100%, i notices something.
[ Condensing : 144%
Warning! Going further than this number will overload the process! ] The light goes hazy when it reaches this number, and gets more hazy as it increases. (Crap! Mana's at 34! I gotta reabsorb the Mana otherwise this place'll be a semi-firework test!)
I absorbs the Mana inside, and i stops when it reaches the desired number. [ Condensing : 100% ]
The light all gathers and fully seeps in the knife, with the knife emitting a blue-ish aura around it.
I squint and cover my eyes with both hands. (Eheh, guess this means Mission Successful!
Took me less than a minute, yet it's overbearing my Mana even with 2 replenishes)
"(C) Woah, never thought 'bout 'tis kind of development 'round condensing Mana onto my works. Gotta say, i'm impressed, kid!" He pats me on the back as the condensing process is done.
"Mmm, Uncle, would you do the honor of finishing it as usual of a smith's duty? I need to take a break" I speak in a whimpering voice as i am almost depleted of energy.
"(C) Ye sure do. Leave it ta 'tis old geezer and ya go on outta here if ya wanna"
I walk out towards the door as i have the thought of drinking water. "Yes yes, later, Uncle"
*door opens and closes*
*sighs* I lump on a wall beside the door as i feel the fresh air once again. (Well, it's still machineries and tools but at least i'm a little light headed now.
Take 'Water Bottle') *warps* The water bottle appeared in my right hand as the sound comes and i fixed my posture to sit as i drink the liquid stored inside.
" *gulp gulp* Haah, that sure is tiring. Least i have my beginner's luck. What do you think, Neb?" *warps* I store the bottle as i talk to him.
... Nothing is said from it. (It's a given it won't reply except if jt were to be called it's given name. Yet why does Alk accepts me giving him one?)
I stand up, putting the googles and facemask onto a desk not far from the door. " *sighs* What do you think, Nebulis?"
"(N) *beep* From the observation i partake in, i believe you did well, Esteemed Guest Arlan"
*stretches* (Ngh, my body's wrecked from the labor just now.
Mana's at 27 and i got Vitality to be reduced by 40 so... A little nap in daytime won't hurt, won't it?... *yawns* Yes, surely it wo-)
"(C) (muffled) ... Wish i wasn't this numb on feeling Mana. Maybe i coulda done more for his sister"
Just when i thought i can have a little stretch, my blood boils upon hearing that last word from behind the door and i frown with it. (Fuck, why does everyone keep mentioning out my sister that i don't even know?! I'm lonely just being with Elena, bothered because nobody tells me her characteristics and as another push, being compared to her once in a while at dinner.
I don't want to be known as 'The brother of that woman', but more as 'A man of that family'.
Makes me sick of it, Makes Me Sick!!)
" *sighs* Hope you got all that recorded, Neb, 'cause i'm not sure if he notices you or pretends not to. Let's go back, i'm spent"
As i walk upstairs after closing the garage's door, i hear a loud noise. *bangs of explosion*
(... 'Course i won't be sleeping right after another. That's gotta be Raisya. Man this family sure is in need of help). As i reach the upper floor, i head towards Rex's room to store my items again and tidies things inside. (Might as well see what is being done in Raisya's after this)
. . .
After i store all the items again from Rex's room, i walk towards Ishka's. (Piling up all these stuff is safer in her, anyways.
I made sure to tidy up all that i've borrowed and what he messes up when he's gone, i need to teach him cleanliness along discipline as time goes on)
I open the door to Ishka's room, taking and putting my items beside her desk. (Sorry but i'll be inconveniencing you for a little)
*knock knock knock*
I hear knocks outside the door, just when i exit Ishka's room.
There i see Ishka in what looks like a lab coat in white and brown pants standing in front of Raisya's room. "(I) Mom! What's with the ruckus?"
"(R) (muffled) Oh, little sweetie! Uh, nothing big's happening... At least, as far as i know"
(Hot damn, even from here i can hear what Raisya's saying from a few meters away)
She lumps her right to the wall. "(I) You're done yet in there? Dad's gonna be out soon, let's not keep 'em waiting and cook for the day!"
"(R) (muffled) Some more minutes, i just lost some ingredients for something i'm experimenting with"
She looks around and notices me, waving her hands to greet.
I wave back at her while closing in.
"(I) *sighs* Heya Arl, sorry for the inconvenience just now~"
"(R) (muffled) Wait, did you just said Arl? The boy's here?"
I stand my back onto the wall beside the door, opposite of Ishka. "Yes madam, i indeed am here"
"(R) (muffled) Oh Goodness! Ishka, why didn't you tell me of... Nevermind that, i'm coming out *noisy rackets*"
I faces towards Ishka, having a concern on what's happening. "Is she always this energetic outside of the room?"
"(I) She and your mother can be said as a flock of a feather, so not always but they will in their own interest act out like a kindergartener, never stopping their mouth when it happens"
"(R) (less muffled) We did not, young girl!"
"(I) Yes you two did, mom!
I chuckle alongside the two's debackle. "Ahaha, what a lively day, today~"
"(I) You can say that again after enduring this Millions from the start"
*door opens* The door opens and there's Raisya, who is covered in green to blue and orange liquid in her lab coat similar to Ishka's, wearing a packed up faceshield, a gasmask, and semi-transparent thick white gloves. "(R) Hello there, deary Arl! Sorry for waking you... up?"
(Technically, you interrupted me from having one but i'll just go along with it) "No big deal, madam, though i am concerned on what just happened"
She facepalms, the aura i feel from her is that of regret. "(R) I apologize for having your hair like that, deary" She bows down, with her face giving a sorrowful look.
I reaches my right hand to her, signifying that i want us to shake hands. "Accepted, now if you were to tell us your troubling matter at hand?"
She shakes up and continues the talk. "(R) Yeah, i lost something Very Precious indeed. A jar fell off and inside it is a Slime, and it crept out of my sight unknowingly"
Hearing this, i feel like a switch inside me turned on. "Madam, would you like me to help you find this slime?"
"(I) Yeah mom, he may have some clue on it's whereabouts" Ishka pointed towards me with her right hand.
Raisya shrug her shoulders, lifting her left hand towards Ishka. "(R) And what proof do you bring that a guest can help with our daily matter?"
(Keen Eyes activation is... Ugh, Mana's still recovering but i really need it, even if just for 10 seconds!). "I can't proof it to you yet, so why not see it for yourself whether or not i am of help to you with this matter, madam?"
Her face froze, staring deep into my eyes. "... I still can't believe you learned those words almost at 5 yeara old.
Alright, it won't hurt having a helping hand, but let me borrow you protective gears of Rexar's. Just wait here" She struts off onto the right where i'm facing.
I feel a pat on the head. "(I) Rex"
"Hmm? What is it, sis? " I look up towards her.
"(I) Had yourself some good stay?"
I feel the patting getting lighter. "Yeah, sure do, even with either or both of you gone. Got myself to read books about magic and it's guide.
Practiced first with Water, then Fire, then Wind, and finally Earth magic just now" I answer truthfully what i did these last few days.
"(I) Ohoh~? And how is it?" She smiles, her eyes stares my hair like she's pitying me.
I count with my fingers, starting from 4. "With Water, i poured a bottle with it and it tasted normal.
With Fire, i light up some candle in Rex's room, ate some cooked marshmallow with it.
With Wind, i clean his ceiling and throw them away at the windows.
With Earth, i made some piles of tiny balls that has some soft and some thick"
"(I) Coming from your mouth, i guess they did go on successfully.
Uwaah, how envious i am of you"
I feel her patting stop abruptly. "Even though i did these so i can protect those eho i hold dear, like you, sis?"
Her eyes widen and i feel the pats strongly. "(I) *giggles* Keep up with it then, Arl!"
I hear a creek from the door. "(R) Ah, i see that you're getting along with our kids, Arl?"
I look at the protective gears she brought. "Yes, it's fun being with them"
"(I) Me too, it got livelier since we brought him here, too bad he'll be getting back tonight"
Raisya gave me protective gears similar to hers but smaller and more glassy that is a faceshield, a gasmask, a pair of gloves and boots, and a little lab coat that is a little too big for me. "(R) It's fine, surely you two will get your chance to play at Arlan's house soon"
I wear them all, all while giving her the thumbs up. "I'm ready, madam"
She clears the path by siding herself to the left. "(R) Come, let us go"
. . .
*door closes* I enter and even with the mask on, i can smell the fragrance after closing the door.
I face my body behind, and yet again my eyes widen.
The room is coated up in slimy green and white paints and the windows are fully closed. Whatever the interior used to be, it'll be awhile before one can restore it's supposed look.
Beakers, eyedroppers, erlenmeyer flasks, test tubes, mortar and pettle, pipets and et cetera is the likes that you'd find in a chemistry lab. Alongside them are green herbs and a glistening stone, crystals ontop of an inked magic circle paper, spoilt grey liquid in a florence flask and et cetera is what i've been expecting the moment i know Raisya's a potion-maker.
All of them have some taint of white and green, even some broken glasses on the tables and the floor.
"Madam, i do not know what have you done to make this happen, but i'll get starting right quick on the search"
"(R) Oh please do, we have some time before the slime evaporates because of how tiny the mana density in the city is compared to it's original habitat"
(I'm guessing you just find it in the wild, didn't you?
I don't know why, but i always have the thought that the potions have at least some parts of a slime in them. Keen Eyes)
The vision starts to show what looks like trails of a slime that's camouflaged by all the mess on the floor and the skill Keen Eyes helps differentiate it and highlights it.
It's heading into my right, below a desk full off her tools. It doesn't help that the desk is made of metal and it has shelves and lockers in it.
I lower my body, touching the highlighted trails before me. "I see where it's gone off to, and can i ask you to clear up all that is ontop of that desk, Aunt Raisya? Because we'll be finding at least a clue of where it is by lifting that" My hand directs her towards it.
"(R) Ohoh? It looks like you've activated a skill from the sound of it. Okay, just wait a moment" She proceesa to put all the tablewares to a desk far from us wherein i look around the desk and i noticed that a little puddle is formed below.
I wave at her to sign off that i'll be needing help on lifting this up. In the ready, we'll be distancing it from the wall.
I put all my strength into my arms, my legs and my back. "Heave-"
"(R) -Ho!"
We carry it not too far from where it's used to be and while walking, i see a sort off shaft on the wall.
"Ngh, say aunty, was that always there?" We put down the table, and flip it as to see the bottom part.
"(R) Yes, a sort of mouse trap. Well, any rodents, cockroaches, bullflies, centipedes and the likes"
"How does it work?" I check on the bottom while not being able to cover my curiosity of the 'trap'.
Brownish liquid resembling of a snail is smeared all over and it's smell stinks me right on the nose. (Oh, Not This Again!) I squinted yet again and sway off a few distance from it.
She puts her right index, before squeezing it out possibly to determine what it is. "(R) By putting a few herbs that sways one on the first floor's shaft, distracts one on the second, and baits one on the roof before it heads down by the pipes towards the street... Well, the reason why this incident happened is that we haven't replaced the herbs and making them obselete. Some humongous creature passed by in the shaft, turns out to be a bullrat. When i heard creaks on the shaft, i try to check it unknowingly when it waited to lunge on my back"
I approach the shaft, making sure to check out where it's going. "And where's the bullrat now? You didn't throw out a rampaging big rat on the street, did you not, aunty?"
"(R) ..."
Opening it, dusts came out and i see webbings on both sides. (Well, i don't know what a bullrat looks like, let alone when confronted by it so i can only sympathize with her and those on the streets unlucky enough to meet it headfirst)
The trail goes to the left of the shaft, going a little up before i'm not able to see more of the inside. "Aunty, where does it go if it were to be going left?" I stand up, cleaning my legs and hands from all the dusts that swells up after closing it again.
She pitches near her nose, looking disappointed. "(R) *sighs* Leading up to a spot below a bridge near the river on the city, so it's most definitely going to vanish if it doesn't meet any other organism it can fill it's famish for"
I back away from her because of something i noticed. "So it can still be alive if it say, eats bacteries from a banana peel and rats that's looking to drink some water? I don't like the sound of it, it may be dangerous if it were to be left alone for a long period of time"
"(R) Well, usually the guards sweep out the sewers once in a month, so i'm not convinced it can survive if it were to be met by the end of a zappy stick. Why, are you worried for it?"
(Uh, YE~AH! Because I Designed a Side-Mission where This Exact scenario on cities you can visit, and to be occuring upon it is RANDOM!)
I pick up two chairs for us to sit on. "What if it were to mutate because of contamination and whatnot?"
Us two sit at the same time. "(R) Then call more of the guards and tell them to be armed for 'Slime Subjugation" ~"
"What if they were defeated? I know there's the City's Guardians and Adventurers, but what i even they were away on a mission far out?" I feel my head being squished.
"(R) Ah, you're worrying too much~, it' s not good for your health. But, i can tell you this, the 'Crown's Aides' "
(Oh, how syndicate sounding, i bet it's an organization full off the experienced, focusing on being a king's pupper to gain themself a favor on something )
"(R) It was formed because off the 'Roguemonger War'. That's what we call them back in the day, and the people that form these are known to be the 'Seed of Hope' because how much they planted the seed off facing overwhelming odds despite fearing death, they still go on towards their supposed Death March.
You can find a branch building where they opened a recruit posts, it will take some time before you can take on one of their tests"
(Hmm, i still won't believe it until i witness them firsthand)
Dropping from my seat, i take my chair back to where it should be. "Okay okay, i'm not as worried now. So, what comes next for this room? Should i help you clean it up?"
"(R) Oh, you don't need be, sweetie~. It's a mess i made, so will i clean up the mess i've made"
(No, i'm very sure you'll just call out Ishka to help you. Besides, i want to test out my Water and Wind magic for this kind of occasion)
I whip out a bucketful of water from both hands out of thin air, consuming 2 Mana. "I don't think so, aunty. The sooner we get this done, the sooner i get to fill my bellies, yeah?"
She put her chair back, and she touches both water with her hands. "(R) Hmm, i guess we should. I'll be taking the mop and towels"
In the process, i shoot water magic with some velocity like that off a sprinkler to reach the ceiling and hard-to-reach spots.
I help the room dry up by opening the windows and give off some wind to breathe, making most water evaporate within seconds.
Long story short, i'm exasparated and headed straight to any room that has a bed on it.
. . .
I hear noises outside of the room, waking me up from my slumber. (Mhm, *yawns*, that sure is quick)
My head felt a little heavier than usual, like a bag being put on over it and so i open my eyes after noticing it.
There lays Ishka in a black shirt unfit for her size with her left hand over my head. "(I) Oh! Uh, wakey wakey?" For a moment there, she acts flustered after me looking straight into her eyes.
I put her hand away and i sit to begin stretching my head, back and hands. "Ngh, Good Afternoon, sis. Have yourself a good time petting this cute little one?" I put on a smile with my sleepy eyes to her.
She reaches out to my head again "(I) Yeah, i sure do~. Thanks for making us a gift, Arlan" She pats me while also putting a smile herself and lays out her arms after.
(The knife! When she put it that way, it must mean that she and Raisya is satisfied with it)
"I'm glad for you. Now, how is Aunt Raisya and Uncle Carmine?"
She switches her position to head upwards, revealing her lower half. My eyes instinctively look to her assets. Her breasts, waists and hard to notice abs is very attractive and for me is top notch. I closes my eyes as to not disgust her any further.
(Fuck me, ain't that's a gorgeous one. Be glad that i'm very young and innocent on the outside, woman. Guess i'm not gonna sleep easy tonight before a thing or two)
"(I) They're all downstairs eating, Rex is too. Wanna come?" I heard creaks after she says that.
I open my eyes after calming my lower half and head. "Yeah. Say sis, won't you two get to be the one to play at my house next time?"
She sits with both her arms behind her while she looks up at the ceiling. "(I) Hmm, i wonder about that? Anyways, let us go and greet everyone" She stands up and goes towards the door, facing behind looking at me.
I look into her eyes, fully awaken from the bed i am. "Yeah, i think we should"
*door opens*
. . .
It's afternoon, and i ate quite a bunch when it's dinner.
Meat of a white-horned deer, Soup with the insides of sanguine flower and plum fruit, nuggets off a brown drake, and rices as the main dish.
Rex is back, i see some marks on his face, could be a fight or just had some hard training.
Most of them oogled their eyes to the rices when Raisya open the pot among the others, but honestly i can't be bothered with how i eat it on daily basis back on the outside.
When we're done with dinner, i go back storing my items after replenishing Mana, said 'Farewell' to Nebulis, gone out with Rex and Ishka to hit the road, sightseeing the view of the nightly lit city, and go back home.
In front, both my parents and Elena waits with them crossing their arms, looking at me saying 'Finally Here'. Both brother and sister go back when they receive their threatening looks, leaving me defenseless to these tigers.
I give it none of my care, relieved that i am safe and sound walking towards them. "I'm Home, Everyone!"
. . .
