155 Sylph’s Recklessness
—–
The blue Slime seemed to be very intelligent, when we spoke to it, it always seemed to nod while its eyes seemed to shine brightly when we petted it or praised it.
The adorable slime had the ability to stretch its body around, it could make tentacles, bounce around, jump, and do all sorts of other things that a mass of liquid slime could do.
I don’t know what other abilities it could have, but it seemed to be pretty useful little pal, and I think we tamed it with ease, so we’ll keep it as a pet.
If we show it to our parents, they’ll know it is a good monster after we make it do some tricks.
But don’t we need to give it a name? After all, when you got a pet, you give it a name!
Come to think of it, I’ve never had a pet... I cannot really consider Naturia a pet, nor Alice (the system), even less Yggdra, the tree, or Ignatius, nor Furoh, they’re all my friends, so I cannot really bring myself to call them “yeah, those are my pets!”, it just sounds plain wrong.
But this slime is just a creature, a wild monster, right? I hope so.
And it got tamed by us, so it should really be like our first pet... Aquarina nor Zack ever had pets either, dogs or cats are not common in here aside from wolves and panthers.
.....
Other smaller mammals such as hares, rabbits, and squirrels are hard to find and tame, so I guess they had never the opportunity.
But now? I guess it could be more than possible to call this slime a pet! And due to that, we’ll have to name it.
“What name do we give to it?” wondered Aquarina, she guessed just what I was thinking about.
“Pyuuuu! Pyukuu!”
The blue slime seemed to understand Aquarina’s words, and was excited to being given a name.
“Let’s name it... Pyuku, like the sound it makes.” I said.
It was a very simple name, I know! But the simpler the name, the easier it is to remember, right? So there’s no problem in that regard.
“Oooh! I guess that’s a good name!” said Aquarina.
“You agree to anything Sylphy says anyways.” Said Zack with a bored expression on his face.
“Eh?! W-Why wouldn’t I? Sylphy is smart!” said Aquarina.
“Smart? She acts like a blockhead half the time- Uegh!”
Zack was smacked by my hand before he were to continue insulting me out of the blue. I know he’s a child still growing up, but that doesn’t give him the rights to just begin talking bad about me, in front of me...
“Ugh, you’re such a brute sometimes...” he sighed.
Zack looked at me with a mildly angered expression, as he crossed his arms and stepped back a few centimeters from me.
“You’re angry because we didn’t killed it? I told you that we were not going to kill a little and innocent creature just because it’s a monster, it’s the same thing with Furoh...” I said.
“Please don’t bring me into the conversation...” whispered Furoh into my mind.
“Ugh! Okay, not like I can even make you change your mind, you’re so stubborn... If your parents end up killing it because its too dangerous, don’t come crying afterwards though...” said Zack.
Aquarina angrily looked at him and showed him her tongue in a mocking manner.
“Buhh!” she said.
“Eh? Sylph, she’s mocking me!” said Zack.
“Aquarina cut that out...” I said.
“He’s just jealous because he doesn’t get to pet Pyuku.” Said Aquarina with a smirk.
Aquarina’s smirk made Zack only grow more furious.
“Pet?! Why would I want to pet that thing? I am not an insane person that is into making a pet of anything... like you two! Monsters are monsters, demons are demons, it is wrong to just think that they can be good...” sighed Zack.
He seemed just as stubborn with his thought process, I don’t know what’s up with him, but he was getting on my nerves. It might be better to change the topic than continue this pointless conversation, discussions between kids never end because they’re kids, too immature to come into conclusions.
“Y-You...!” roared Aquarina, she looked like she was about to bite off a chunk of Zack’s face at any moment.
However, I stopped her from doing something reckless with my hand.
“Okay, okay, everyone got their own opinions. Let’s not continue discussing, its not like Zack is trying to take away Pyuku from us, right? He’s just talking out his thoughts, and I really appreciate an honest friend like him that doesn’t hide his own emotions and thoughts and openly state them. It means he trust us and see us friends too.” I said.
Zack suddenly grew red out of my praise to him, which for him might had come out of nowhere.
“Wh-What...? Now you’re just praising me out of nowhere... Ah, well, whatever...” he sighed.
“Sylphy... Well, okay...” said Aquarina.
I saw that the two kids had finally calmed down and seemed to be in better and higher spirits. With that said and done, we decided to carry Pyuku while we looked around for clues that could lead us to Zack’s mother- I mean, Ninhursag.
We wandered around the jungle until we reached the barrier, and we crossed it.
“It is dangerous to cross the barrier...” sighed Zack.
“Well, if your parents are letting us get through, they’re probably watching over us with their spirits, if anything bad happens we can count on them.” I said.
“T-That’s right but still...” said Zack.
“I guess Sylphy has a point! If our parents are looking over us, I don’t think we should worry that much...” said Aquarina.
“No, I guess we should worry to an extent, we were attacked by that demon guy the other day, we never really know what our enemies might come out with, so we have to maintain our guard high.” I said.
“You say that, but we are still running directly into a dangerous place...” sighed Zack
