Chapter 74 - Fluorescence fungoides speak(2)

Alan did not notice that, as he entered his place of abode, a figure hanging at a distance behind him ceased to follow him. I turned to hide in the seaside, not too much flow of people.

'Ellen, you're back! Allen just shut the door. There is kaka ear is characteristic of the double sound. Ears to hear is "kaka" sound, but in the brains of arcane energy, it has struck a chord with the produced a he can understand the meaning of, if not the entity sonic Allen can feel kaka milk angry tone. After all, Chuck is only a few months old.

Looking back, I saw Kaka, struggling to climb down from the windowsill, as if he had had enough of the lavender and the boredom of everyday life. The mushroom jumped into Alan's arms with a bear hug as Alan approached. During this time, Alan will not be called Chuck Eryngii, although it looks similar but not the same. As for why he gets so angry every time he calls him Pleurotus eryngii Kaka.

Grab some random guy on the street and call him a baboon? That's it. Mushrooms, although slightly better, call a human a primate. It sounds like an insult to me.

But after spending so much time together, Alan still had no idea what Kaka was, and Kaka himself had no idea, except that he could only shake his head no to Alan's guesses.

'Yes,' said Alan, picking up Kakato and leaving him alone in the room. He was not very worried. The neighborhood was safe, and Kaka was Arcane. Any short-sighted thief would have been scared half to death by Kaka. "Is everything all right today?"

Kaka is myelin, but unlike Maccabone's sun-cloaking mushroom trees, she doesn't secrete a tiny slimy liquid. Although Alan was comfortable enough to squeeze Chuck's soft body a lot, Alan's robust bacterial-liquid knife was no use at all. The spell had proved useless against no other liquid, and unless Alan could find plenty of it somewhere else, it was time to see what cooking without rice felt like.

As she enjoyed Alan stroking her mushroom umbrella, Kaka rubbed her little hands against Alan's robe. Kaka seemed particularly dependent on Alan's appearance, and Alan needed to figure out exactly why. When asked occasionally, Chuck looked at Alan for a long time in confusion, as if he could not quite understand why Alan could not understand but said that Alan was his "Urg." But Chuck could not tell what Urg was, and Alan had to get his hands on books about Mycelin, which might give him some idea.

As the months went by, Kaka ate a lot, but didn't seem to get any heavier, and the Arcane didn't get any stronger. Carrying the mushrooms to the window, Alan called out to Chuck and said, 'What have I got here?'

"Cut? Chuck's tone of voice made it clear that it was a question, only this time there was no magic voice in it, but Alan had no trouble understanding what was being said.

From the bracelet came several books Alan had collected at the market today, most of which related to Myelin. Chuck looked at it curiously but had yet to learn the human language. He looked up and asked Alan, "What is this?"

"Well... An encyclopedia." Alan had brought back a mushroom technical manual of some sort, at least to find out Chuck's race, 'for example...' Alan flipped to a page, pointed to one of the pictures and asked, "Is this you?"

Glancing at it, Kaka saw a large clump of small mushrooms clinging to decaying wood and heard Alan explain: "Tricholoma Ulmus, most of its fruit-bodies together... It can be fried. It can be popped, it can be roasted, it can be stewed..."

The first part was delicate, but by the time the words "ready to cook, ready to stew," Chuck's whole mushroom plant erupted with a loud "No!" Even more shrill than the original "I am not Pleurotus eryngii." I wonder how Kaka's tiny body can produce such a high voice.

"Kaka, calm down." Alan gave Chuck's umbrella a reassuring rub. 'If not, just click.'

"Tiger's milk reishi, isn't it? Medicinal fungi, mature, white body like a saber-toothed tiger. Teeth?" Alan looked at Chuck in his arms. He was not white enough.

"Cut! A clattering cry confirmed this idea.

"Jatropha green mushrooms?" Okay, more green is needed.

"Cut!

"Bisporium? I don't think so. They're not twins.

"Cut!

...

Alan soon realized something was wrong. Thousands of species of mushrooms had been found throughout the archipelago, plus the northern tundra. He had yet to learn what Kaka was. The only thing he looked like was Pleurotus eryngii, and he would die of exhaustion after all this noise!

It didn't take long to turn into a silent "click" when it clicked correctly. But Alan still had to name them one by one. Otherwise, Chuck would not be able to read them and would have to judge them by their images, but the same kind of mushroom would be so different in appearance that looking at it would be completely unreliable.

Later on, the pace was so slow, and there were so many kinds that Alan saw no possibility and went straight ahead. After all, too yellow, too green, clumping together can't be!

It was noon when Alan returned, but before he knew it, it was evening, and Alan's mouth was so dry with questions that he had not had time to eat his supper. Chuck, too, yawned. The progress is even worse. So far only gone through less than a third of the book.

And that's even though Kaka has a mushroom umbrella! Confining the search to the order Toadstool was much faster than searching like a headless fly, but Alan still had to explore a few books!

Helpless, Alan was ready to stand up to light the lamp but suddenly found a problem, Kaka has fluorescence! When we first met in the underground palace, Chuck had a little bit of a glow on her body, which would have been particularly noticeable in the dark, but Alan had asked her not to glow at night because it was too bright. The little guy was a little freaked out at first for all this.

"Do you know how to glow, Kaka?"

'Yes! The question gave Chuck a sudden thrill, and as he tightened himself, a pale green glow followed Chuck's clear call, and the whole room was the familiar mushroom green of Alan! Looking at Kaka akimbo, Alan was a little puzzled. However, the fluorescent feature made Alan's search much more accessible. There were only about a hundred glow-in-the-dark mushrooms in total!

"Is this one?

"And this one?"

...

"This?

"Cut!

The mushroom, which had been quiet for a long time, gave a cry of affirmation, and before Alan dared to confirm it, he pointed to the drawing and asked again: 'This is you? A fluorescent mushroom?" Alan looked carefully at the picture, then at Chuck, and felt. It doesn't seem like much.

'That's him! But Alan heard Chuck's decisive click and said no more. Was it true that Chuck, who looked like him, was not a 100% Pleurotus eryngren?

I don't know how Chuck recognized this as his race, but if the mushroom said it was, so be it! So Alan pointed to the picture, and the word "mushroom" in the lingua franca of the islands and said to Chuck in his arms, "Remember, Chuck, this is you. Firefly, light, mushroom!"

"Because... Quantico... Because..."

This is the first time Allen heard from kaka is "kaka" call things outside. This abrupt pronunciation for Allen got a fright. Kaka wants to imitate the accent. Fluorescent bacteria are just a copy don't like!

On second thought, it's normal. Mycotri can talk, and even some of them speak human language. Otherwise, the existence of Mycotri would be meaningless. Even if all the Bacterial could talk like Kaka, there would always be unarcane individuals in the whole population, so what would they do? In the end, they would have to speak.

"Qin... Quantico... Because..."

Kaka was still trying to pronounce these three words in everyday language, but for a while, he couldn't. Alan rubbed Chuck's soft mushroom umbrella again. "Well, Chuck will take his time later. Let's eat first."

Alan was so hungry after all this that he picked up Chuck and went to the kitchen. Even if you don't turn on the lights, you can see the surroundings under the kaka fluorescence, which is not faint green but close to the warm green glow. Under the full fluorescence spread, the non-bright and non-dark room still reveals a little warmth...
