277 Hungry Familiars
—–
After I was calmed down by my parents, I was able to better assess my thoughts and what I had asked to uncle Arafunn regarding love and... everything else within that spectrum. It really felt quite cringy to remember but it still an important thing I cannot really forget. But it seems that this world’s is way laxer in that regard, and it seems that gods don’t punish people for that either. The only things often considered sins that deserve punishment are innocent’s murder and stealing.
However, in this world there will always be people that will discriminate... So he said I have to grow as strong as possible to protect my love. My love...My lov- Uwah! I have to stop thinking about this for now! I am a child! A child! I cannot just think these things, they’re inappropriate!
...
After we have eaten everything, Arafunn said he wanted to join us in the tents of the Amazon tribe, so we swiftly walked back to the tribe after spending almost an entire day in the town, we got so many products that I fear we might have emptied the entire place, but thankfully they said that wandering merchants bringing goods were common, several of them showed up every week in fact.
I am just glad we didn’t made any sort of fuss and we were able to successfully get everything safely. I had even imagined we would end up encountering someone like the Duke or an arrogant noble, like those novels my mother has in the library back at home, where the protagonists always went through encounters against “selfish and cunning young masters” that were often involved with aristocracy or something.
Phew, thankfully we dodged that bullet. ...Well, that’s probably just exaggerated fantasy, there’s no way all nobles are evil or something, we cannot be stereotypical in that regard.
“Huh, so you ate a lot, huh? Must have been nice, huh?”
Suddenly, I heard the voice of Furoh resonating through my mind.
.....
“Furoh? W-What’s wrong?” I wondered. “First time I see you so pissed!”
“S-Sylphy, you’re a treacherous and evil girl!”
“W-What?!”
Just as I arrived at my tent and dropped over my bed, I began to hear Furoh making a fuss inside my Soul Scape, he seemed completely heart broken, my little flesh noodle was all sad! I couldn’t help but feel sad myself as well. He was perhaps my most spoiled familiar after Naturia, after all, unlike the grumpy Ignatius, Furoh was more lovely and let me pet him and treat him with affection.
“You’re awful, oi!” He cried, using his country boy accent. Even now he had a hard time talking without his accent.
“Yeah, you’re awful, worst master ever!” Said Ignatius. “Must have been pretty good, right? All that tasty food!” Ignatius began to work together with Furoh for the first time and it was just to bash on me for having enjoyed tasty food.
“FOOO!” Naturia also roared angrily! Eh?! What’s this?
“I am sorry! Don’t get mad at me! D-Did you wanted food as well?!” I asked.
“Yeah! You know? Your mana can nourish us to the point we don’t need to eat... but I used to eat trash all my childhood, seeing you eat all sorts of tasty stuff really makes me boil with envy! Uwah, I want something tasty too! Why are you so evil with me?!” Cried Furoh.
“I am so sorry! I-I’ll bring you something tasty asap! There was some meat loaf left!” I said.
“I-I also want some! You’re awful! How do you think I’ll grow into a dragon again if you don’t feed me?!” Asked Ignatius.
“You don’t get involved on this! You’re just a soul, Furoh has a body so you two are different.” I said.
“Well, spirits can apparently eat and refill their energies by eating. Also, Ignatius is right, if you feed him with tasty, magic-filled food, he might grow faster.” Said Alice. “Ahem... I would also like some meat loaf...”
“Eh? Alice too? Well, I am glad you want to try out new experiences but this feels a bit overwhelming...” I sighed.
“Just hurry!” Said Ignatius. “Evil master that doesn’t feed us!”
“FOOO!!!” Naturia also seemed to be very angry, this was the first time I saw all of them unanimously agree on something.
And from within my Soul Scape, in the distance, there was the soul of Beelzebub, who was also known as the Demon of Gluttony, he was not saying a single thing, but I could guess he would love to try out food.
Can a soul that had yet to turn into a spirit eat food? Wait, maybe I could tempt him into becoming my spirit by offering him all the tasty food he could eat as he becomes one... And showing it off right in front of him would add to the pain!
Ohoho! Delightfully devilish, Sylph!
I quickly moved outside of my tent, as I found Aquarian right in front of me, I ended hitting her because I was in such a hurry, and both of us ended falling over the ground...
“Uwaah!”
“Uagh!”
BONK
“Ugeehh... S-Sylphy, were you in a hurry?” Aquarina looked at me with her adorable expression. She looked so adorable in her new dress that I felt heartbroken when I threw her down like that.
“I-I am so sorry!” I cried, quickly healing her from any bruises and slowly helping her stand up. “There! Sorry... I was in a hurry because I wanted some food...”
“Eh? Food?” She wondered. “Didn’t you ate a lot? You’re going to get fatty if you eat too much!” Aquarina reprimanded me, and I felt a bit bad.
“W-Wait, that’s not it! My spirits, they’re hungry.” I said. “They want food. Remember that I got Furoh? He wants food even though Mana could suffice... I think I should had given him more food, sometimes I forget for days.”
“Eh?! You don’t feed your spirits?! I always give daily snacks to Undine, Leviathan, and Pyuku...” Said Aquarina.
