Chapter 939 Grandparents That Like To Spoil Their Grandkids
-----
We spent the rest of the week visiting many places, building up memories together as friends and also with my Aquarina, and also, we gathered and found materials. I visited the port almost every day because there was always a new ship arriving and bringing new products.
I've been gathering materials one after another of anything that could be useful for my familiars evolutions, but even after a week, I haven't been able to get everything I wanted. I managed to get a Mimic Tongue, some entrails, a star-nosed mole eyes and nose, and its claws, and also the stinger of a demonic wasp, and its venom.
Sadly, the other materials I needed were nowhere to be seen, so everything was still incomplete… I can maintain the materials indefinitely inside the Inventory, so that's alright for now, but I feel slightly disappointed in that regard…
Oh well, I couldn't have hoped to get as many materials as I got this week though, so that by itself is a big win, in my opinion.
I'll have to find other ways to get the other materials I need… Moving to the Demon Continent is really in my last to-do list right now, so I've gotta just keep looking for merchants coming from there.
But aside from that not-so-important stuff, I spent a really nice week with my friends, especially Aquarina. We tried out a bunch of restaurants, explored the beach and even swam through its beautiful and colorful coral reefs, where I gathered new species for my dungeon, and we also went to the amusement park, the history museum, and the monster zoo, where they had many interesting monsters tamed, to show to the masses for amusement.
Thankfully, Aquarina got herself all the ingredients she needed to quick start her new Physique improvements, but she'll use them much later once she gets there, so for now she'll just save them.
Although I thought I could not get what I wanted easily, the King suddenly accepted a request I had asked him out of just pure spoiled cockiness.
"Oh, so you need these materials for your familiars evolutions?" He wondered, reading the paper with the list. "I see, I'll do what I can to find them. I've got my connections. I'll contact you through your mother whenever I find something."
"Ehh? R-Really?" I was honestly shocked of how easy it was to request this to my grandfather! "T-Thank you so much, grandpa!"
I couldn't help but hug his belly, he was way too tall to hug him properly though.
"Ah… Well, it is nothing much, really." He said with a serious tone of voice, although he couldn't hide he felt slightly embarrassed. "Have a nice trip back home. You can come meet us whenever you feel like it."
"Yeah dear, please come back any time you want!" Grandma said, kissing my cheeks. "We'll always be here waiting for you! Your grandparents love you!"
"Will do!" I said happily, as I walked inside the airship. "Bye-bye!" I waved my hand, as the airship's gate slowly closed.
I saw my grandparents slowly become smaller and smaller as the airship flew into the skies, until I couldn't see them any longer…
Through this week they had acted like my parents, I've grown slightly more fond of them, to the point I feel slightly sad to go away from them now.
But well, I'll go back to mom and dad, which I also miss a lot, so I guess it's alright…
Though, I'll make sure to come back later, coming to visit them once every two months wouldn't be so bad, right?
Once inside the airship, I walked back with my friends, as we sat down in the many seats. There weren't many people with us, after all not many went to Agartha.
"What did you gave your grandpa?" Wondered Aquarina.
"Oh, it was the list of materials I was missing, he surprisingly accepted looking for them!" I was amazed.
"Wait, really?" Aquarina asked. "Damn, you're so spoiled! I can't believe it." She started laughing.
"Your grandpa might seem all serious but he sure loves you." Zack laughed. "Through the entire week he never changed his face expression, he was honestly a bit scary…"
"I-I agree…" Mist nodded.
"Well, despite appearances, grandpa seems to be rather kindhearted. He just… likes intimidating people sometimes, us included?" I wondered, still trying to figure out grandpa's true deal.
"He sure loves intimidating!" Lara said. "But the spirits are always fond of him, he's always surrounded by many of them, though nobody can notice, not even him…"
"So not even the King can see all the spirits you can?" I wondered. "Lara, you're sure amazing…"
"Don't say that or she'll get all cocky again!" Luck warned me.
"Hahaha! Maybe!" Lara got immediately cocky.
"Too late…" Luck looked into the window next to him, sighing.
"Guh, I couldn't find any clues about the Jaw Demon Tribe though." Mist said, feeling slightly sad again. "Where are all of them? I wonder if mom… was really the last?"
"It's too early to say that." Celeste said. "One day we'll go to the Demon Continent and look for them ourselves, okay? Will that make you stop crying so much, baby Mist?"
"I-I'm not a baby!" Mist said angrily, quickly cleaning her tears. "And fine, you better keep your promise, big sis!"
"Hahaha, sure, sure~" Celeste laughed a bit at Mist's energetic demeanor. "Big sis will do it for you."
"I miss mommy though, I wanna get back home asap!" Celica said.
"I also miss Ninhursag…" Zack said. "Don't you miss Mary, Mist?"
"A-Ah, I do… She's like my mom too." Mist smiled a bit. "Ah! I never thought about asking her! Maybe she knows about the Jaw Tribe?"
"We could try asking her then." I nodded. "Mary and Lucia could know one thing or two. Lucia can talk now after she was healed, so I'm sure she got things to say."
"Yeah, yeah!" Mist said. "Uwah, I'm so dumb, maybe they even meet my mom!" Mist was really excited.
I really hope we can find some clues, so she can be a bit happier.
