119 The Fury Of A Mother Against Her Reckless Daughter!
—–
Furoh found himself inside my Soul Scape, soon being greeted by Naturia and Ignatius.
Ignatius was rather angered at him and had tried several times to burn him down when I was trying to take Furoh with me. However, I stopped him every time because he was just being an idiot.
“Why are you even here?! How come you became a familiar?! You’re literally just a demon! Agh! Sylphy, stop having such terrible decisions! This bastard will only corrupt your soul!” said Ignatius.
“S-Shut up! You’re literally just a floating egg!” replied Furoh.
“I-I’m more than an egg! I am a glorious dragon!” refuted Ignatius.
“A dragon? You? Hah! Well, that doesn’t make you any better,” countered Furoh.
“What did you say?! You’re just a flesh noodle! What do you even know about my glorious family?” said Ignatius with rage.
“I know that they’re a band of hypocrites and cowards! When they saw that the demons were losing, they immediately turned their tails and flew back to their little nests in the mountains, completely ignoring the alliance… do you know how many demon lives could have been saved if you bastards acted according to the contract you made with the Demon King?!” said Furoh, his tone also becoming furious.
…..
“Huh?! My family would never be such cowards! We fought bravely in the front lines! Many of my siblings died for the cause and we still lost at the end! Take back your words, you unsightly monster!” cursed Ignatius.
“Make me!” roared Furoh.
“Grrr…. GRAAAH!” roared Ignatius.
The two then began to fight against one another, though hitting each other actually did no damage at all. Then again, they still felt a bit of the pain, fueling their fury even more.
“Foooaahh…” Naturia sighed. From the looks of it, seeing the two fight gave her a headache.
I looked into the two clowns and sighed internally. They had already become rivals or something. I had never expected demons and dragons to have such big beef before despite having worked together against the humans.
What about the Dragon King? Wasn’t he the ally of the Demon King? I guess according to Furoh, they didn’t do anything to help, while Ignatius claimed that many of his siblings died in battle.
I don’t really know who to believe, but when I made a contract with Furoh, I was able to see way more than with Ignatius. I literally saw a large part of his entire life, so I know I can trust a bit more of his words.
Ignatius… eh.
“You guys, stop this at once. We’re all familiars of Sylph. If we fight, we’ll only end up disappointing her… Ignatius, you’re a dragon, act more like one and don’t let feeble words affect you so much. And you, Furoh. You’ve been given a great opportunity by Sylph, appreciate it and be more polite,” said Alice, emerging right away as her bright light illuminated the two. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
I had never seen her this angered before. She was really acting as if she were a mother figure or something now.
“Argh! Fine!” Ignatius said with a sigh, crossing his arms… well he had no arms right now.
“Guhh… I’m not talking to him, though,” replied Furoh, as he went back to his area of the Soul Scape.
“Fooofooohh…” Naturia could only sigh.
I looked at the Soul Scape one last time.
“Thanks, Alice. I couldn’t have done it without your help,” I told her with a light sigh.
“No problem, Sylphy. Take it easy for now,” replied Alice.
“You’re such a sweetheart,” I told her soon after.
“I-It’s nothing…” she said, a bit flustered.
After the whole incident with the Skin-changer and Furoh, night had already appeared and we moved back to the village.
There, my mother, father, and Aquarina’s parents were waiting for us with crossed arms and angry expressions.
Did they realize?
“Hahah… mommy, you look so radiant tonight!” I told her with a wide smile.
“Sylphyyyyyyyy…” muttered my mother as her fury emerged from her body. In fact, I could clearly see her sharp ears releasing steam.
My father was angry, but after he noticed her, he tried to calm her down and began to sweat.
“SYLPHY! I saw everything! We decided to simply not go there because you had already resolved the entire issue… but still! How reckless can you be?” asked my mother in utter anger as she began to stretch my left ear.
“Ouch! Ouch! Sorryyyyy…! I was reckless!” I cried.
“F-Faylen, don’t be so rude. Stretching her ear is painful,” father told her.
“This girl just fought a Demon. Allan, do you think doing this will bother her? At most, she’s just pretending to be pained,” mother replied before sighing.
Ah, she found out…
“Sigh… Sylphy, did you seriously just make a demon your familiar?” my father asked while looking at me with disappointment.
“I-I did! I don’t regret it! He’s the key to speak with more demons. I am a stubborn girl, so I won’t give him up, and I won’t let you kill him either!” I said in response.
Indeed, the primary reason why I made him into my familiar was protection!
If I brought him in person, I know my parents would have killed him indiscriminately.
Why? Not because he’s a demon, but because of his looks.
Anyone would think he’s just a wild monster.
Furoh was born as a Shapeshifting Demon with a worm-like form, which grew more monstrous as he was always beaten up. Because of that, his body ended up becoming more and more amorphous.
So, he really looked ugly. Even I, who have seen the gentleness of his heart, had to admit, he’s a bit scary looking.
My parents looked at one another while crossing their arms.
“Sylphy, what you did is wrong. Take out that thing and destroy the contract,” said my mother.
“No!” I did not relent.
“Sylphy, that’s a demon! It will only corrupt your soul!” said my father.
“Eh?! He’s a person! How can you even say that after all that speech over feeling bad when the demons were slaughtered?!” I asked back in response.
“…”
“…”
Hearing my words, my two parents quickly fell into silence.
