274 Naming Senses From Other Tribes

I continued cooking with Arafunn and Aquarina, as we enjoyed the rest of the day until the sun began to slowly descend from the horizon. Arafunn taught us how to make his “meatloaf” which was mixing the minced meat he got with some eggs, the bread mush with water, and then mixing it all into a big meat dough… or something like that. I think that’s how we are going to call it for now, meat dough. All of this meat dough was put over a long metal bowl in the shape of a baguette, where Arafunn put everything.
“That’s it? That’s really it?” I wondered. Looking into the meat loaf only to find that it was put over the entire thing and that was it. Wow, I guess I shouldn’t had really looked at it as if it were the best thing ever.
“Well, I think you thought it was going to be something incredible, Sylphy? It is just meat loaf. What, you thought I was going to pour some magic? Well yes. But that doesn’t mean it is anything incredible.” Said Arafunn, as he released golden magic sparks over the meatloaf before putting it in the oven. “With that, the Cooking Magic shall enhance the flavor! How lovely, everyone is going to like this.”
“I thought you were going to teach me cooking magic…” I sighed.
“Haha, not everything in the world is about teaching you how to get stronger or something, you know? Sometimes you gotta just sit down and relax for once.” He said.
“…Hm, I guess you might be right in that.” I sighed.
“Right? Of course I am right. Now, let’s wait for this- Oh, what is this amazing smell?!” Asked Arafunn, looking towards my mother’s direction, as the oven she had brought outside of her item bag was already making a delicious pizza.
“Huh? Don’t you remember when I made this to you guys back then? You all loved it to death.” Said my mother. “It’s called pizza! Arafunn, remember that big piece of bread, with cheese, ham, and salami cut down into piece son top? Remember that at the very least!”
…..
“A-Ah! I get it now! Okay, I remember.” Said Arafunn while nodding confidently. “That’s the one with the cheese that stretches around and is ultra-super delicious, right?!” He asked like a child, eh was really happy to know my mother was cooking that very dish.
“Yep, that very one! I guess you remember it well, huh?” Said my mother with a prideful smile. She seemed rather happy to have her cooking remembered so clearly by the old elf.
After that, the door suddenly opened, with my father, Shade, and Nepheline coming from outside.
“We felt useless so we began making a big roasted six-limbed lizard.” Said my father.
“Eh?! You heartless monsters, are you roasting the little lizard that brough you here?!” Cried Arafunn.
“What? No, idiot, it is a different one, we won’t eat the one carrying us. I even named him Paul.” Said my father.
“Paul, seriously? How’s that a name you’ll give to a giant lizard?” Asked Shade.
“Hahaha! Allan has always been bad with naming; it is good that he let the naming to Faylen for his daughter. I bet he would had named her Alita or something.” Said Nepheline.
“M-My sister was called Alita! It is a beautiful name!” Said my father.
“Haha, here he goes again. Mountain people’s naming sense is terrible.” Said Nepheline.
“Huh? And what does Nepheline even means then?” Asked my father. fгeewebnovёl.com
“Nepheline means strong and robust!” Said Nepheline.
“H-Huh… Good for you.” Said my father while averting his gaze from Nepheline. He felt a bit offended.
“Don’t worry daddy, if I ever have a child, I’ll let you name her or him.” I said.
“Eh?! Really, Sylphy?! You’re giving me a grandchild?! But that’s… I don’t know if you would be able to conventionally, but I guess you can adopt too, there are many children in this world left without parents due to the wards after all!” Said my father.
“Huh? What are you talking about?” I wondered. How come I won’t have a grandchild? I mean, I had never considered it but eventually, right? I mean I will live super long so one day I’ll hit with a guy… or maybe a girl? I had never considered it until this point but…
Wow, sexual life is quite complex, what do I even like? My previous life I was clearly into a guy, he survived so I was happy for it, but I never got to confess that I liked him so that was left kind of… there. It was slightly platonic, mostly because he was handsome and quite hard worker.
In my previous life I was just a normal human girl, I was just taught to choose a competent guy to love and then just make a family, I didn’t had any very specific “likings” per say, other than making a family.
But now that I got magic, I am an elf that lives very long and everything… What should I really do? Should I seek a partner that I love and can match with me? A boy? Or… wait, a girl?
…What about… Aquarina?
No, that’s wrong… We are just kids now; I shouldn’t really even consider something like this now. Ugh, but now that it was brought to my mind, I feel kind of like I am going to begin thinking a lot of stupid things more often… I have yet to hit adolescence though, so… Ah, I better just not think about it.
But as I looked at Aquarina talk with my mother about the pizza and laugh at Arafunn’s jokes, I suddenly felt slightly different… She’s cute, isn’t she? …But what is this other feeling I am having?
…
“And ready!” My mother said, putting the freshly baked pizza over the table, the smell of cheese, baked dough, and the delicious spices, tomato sauce, and ham and salami cut down into pieces over it all merged together wonderfully. Man, pizza is the best.
“Time to dig in!” Said Arafunn happily, putting the meatloaf over the table.
