289 They Grow Too Fast…
—–
Over the week I’ve been practicing my endurance to level up my [Yggdrasil’s Endurance] Skill, who went from Level 4 to Level 5 over the week, and it is getting closer to Level 6. I think that in a month or so, I could most likely reach level 10. After that… I have no idea what other Skill could show up but thinking about something strong excites me.
Since our talk with Aquarina, she had stopped helping me practice my endurance, and Zack also feels like its weird, so I just go on my own and ask Furoh to help me instead. He does it very displeased, but still hits me hard with his body, and we both practice some sparring together.
The other spirits cannot materialize to the extent of being able to hit me with their bodies like Furoh can, so having a familiar like him is really useful… Ah, another thing that has been happening lately is that Alice managed to get out of the Soul Scape… Yep, it seems she’s more of a Spirit than anything now. Although the system functions remain linked to her and I, still, it feels like she can do a lot more. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Perhaps I should show her and Beelzebub to my parents and everybody else so I don’t create any confusions in the future when they show up in some dire situation. Introducing them as mere spirits that showed up when I was going around should work, right? After all I got Elf Bloodline, which is thick enough to allow me to have some sort of “charm” with spirits. My mother got a few of them herself, and she said most of them came to her while she was in certain places, so perhaps it is not so hard to believe that I suddenly got a Light and a Darkness Spirit? Although showing both of them at the same time is… Ugh, well, yeah, it is pretty suspicious.
Alice was quite fascinated with the outside world and wanted to explore more, but I had to quickly get her inside my Soul Scape because Aquarina and Zack are sticking to my side 90% of the time in the entire day, so its hard to get some alone time. They’re my beloved friends but sometimes they should leave a bit of time for myself… But I think I am too nice to tell them that rashly, so I just let them do as they please. Ugh, I am really just spoiling them, aren’t I?
Well, for now it should be a good time to wake up. I had saved the food for my spirits’ breakfast last night, so when I woke up I had it at my side and quickly feed them with it. But it was still the morning and I was pretty hungry. Miraculously so, Aquarina wasn’t in the bed, although she did slept in my bed last night as well, but it seem she woke up early to pee and then just ended going to have breakfast and never came back to cuddle some more.
Ah, I am getting used to have my cute Aquarina cuddling with me by now. I am a small body so I often get pretty cold, but she’s always warm~ It must be due to her bloodline as an Amazon, their bodies produce a lot of heat naturally and they burn calories like crazy as well, this is why she eats a lot as well, I suppose. Anyways, I can’t help it, so I jumped off the bed and the first thing I feel below my feet is something slimy and cold.
I looked down and found that I ended stepping over Pyuku, who was sleeping right below the bed over his little bed which Aquarina crafted with her parents out of wood, it had a small cushion on top.
…..
“Pyuuuu…”
“A-Ah! Sorry!”
“Pyu…”
Pyuku slowly crawled away, as he stretched a little arm and touched my head, petting it.
“Good morning Pyuku! Is Aquarina outside?” I asked.
“Pyyuuu…”
Pyuku quickly led me outside, as we walked into the camp, there we found my parents and Aquarina with her parents eating breakfast, they were already midway through! Why did nobody came to tell me to eat with as well!?
“Hey! You didn’t woke me up!” I complained, walking to my father’s side.
“Hahaha, sorry, dear, but your mother said that its about time you wake up by yourself…” Said my father. “You have to learn discipline! Or something like that.”
“I was busy training magic with my spirits and talking with them… I guess I overslept.” I sighed.
“Eh?!” My mother asked in surprise. “Y-You train magic with your spirits while sleeping, Sylphy?”
“Yeah… Always? What’s wrong with that?” I wondered, tilting my head.
“This girl…” Sighed my mother, readying herself to reprimand me for something I didn’t even knew was wrong. “You shouldn’t practice magic while sleeping! It is dangerous for the body and it won’t let your body rest well, you’ll wake up tired and exhausted, and it won’t help you at all in the long run if you’re always tired!”
“Eeeh? That’s… a thing?” I wondered. “I’ve never felt tired after sleeping, I’ve been doing this for years now…”
“Truly?” Asked Shade in surprise. “Faylen, your daughter is really something else…”
“Doesn’t she has like some sort of tireless body? I guess it is normal for her to never feel tired!” Said Nepheline in between laughter. “Despite being an elf she could make a good warrior woman. Sylphy have you thought about learning how to use a hammer?”
“A-A hammer? I don’t know if I have the build for that…” I said. I didn’t really liked hammers as weapons, and I preferred the swiftness of knives and short swords better, I am a more light type of fighter. Hammers and axes are for heavy warriors like Zack.
“Hehe, there’s no way Sylphy would use a hammer, mom!” Said Aquarina. “Come eat at my side, Sylphy!”
“Okay~!” I said, as my mother seemed to have dropped the subject already.
“Wait! S-Sylphy! How about you sit in your papa’s lap instead? Like you used to do?” My father asked.
“No!” I said, walking to the side of Aquarina.
My father… seemed heartbroken after I saw that. Maybe I shouldn’t had been so rough.
“Hahh… She grew way too fast…” He sighed, as my mother patted his shoulder.
