That woman was adorable, but now it was time to turn my attention back to Jilly, who looked like her patience was wearing thin. I was just about to talk to her, but Nushi's throat clearly reminded me that I had not included her.
"Sorry, maybe it would help if you could take notes on what effects are given to the weapon when the girls bring it back. I would also like you to find out if it is always the same kind of enchantment from each element. If it isn't, then I need to know all the possible effects that it could cause. All of these things could be very important, including if there are more than one for each, then is there one that appears more?" I asked long-winded, but I was sure that she got everything that I had just said.
"Yes, I can do that, and I will also mark down anything else that I notice. Have you met Kieta yet? She is my father's scientist, and you might want to talk to her about these things. Normally she is around the Keep more, but she is probably b
Nushi was writing something down in her book, and I leaned over to look, but there was nothing on the page and the pen looking thing she had wasn't even making a mark, but I could see that she was actually spelling something."Do you mind?" Nushi said as she pulled her book away from me and then closed it. "You asked me not to look in your head, and now you're looking in this new journal!""Wait… journal? That is The Story, you special System power that I gave you! Also, I can't see a damn thing on those pages anyway, but you are right, and I would wait. So, what do we know?" I asked as I stepped over to Mary, reaching out a hand to her.She turned to me and smiled, then Mary reached her hand and took mine, slithering over behind me. I squatted down enough for her to grab my shoulder and then wrap around me as I stood.[Level up: Jilly]: 4{Jilly}Level: 4{Stretch Lumber}- Acquired!I closed the window that popped up; I
I looked down to the Cerberus girls that have been waiting patiently in dog form."Use your SYTT-Link with me, and then I want you to go find a stick, but no magic ones!" I joked, and the girl's tail started to wag, but then they transformed back in a puff of white smoke.The girls all gave me a hug, and then I felt the link like a bolt of power, chaining the girls and me as they nuzzled their faces into me. I smiled at the feeling, stroked the hair on each girl's heads, and scratched behind their ears."Okay, go find something, and then I will throw it for you all. I know we can get your ability to work, but using a magic item was just a mistake on my part," I said to the girls as they pulled away from me, but Bera shook her head, both hands came up to block her blue hair from Riez and Cera's faces."No, it's okay, thank you," Bera said to me with a small smile, but I wasn't sure what I was getting the thank you for."People don't stick up for us;
Mex headed back to the new building that Jilly was working on, and I turned back to see the girls, but the stick was back in my hand suddenly. I was shocked at first, but then I remembered the SYTT-Link.I tapped the stick in the ground, and a small amount of frost appeared on the ground. After a few more taps, I concluded that it was the same as Cera's enchantment, and I tossed it again for the girls.I watched as they bounded over to where the stick had landed, and Riez grabbed it up, and then the switch happened. I was prepared this time, and I was already in the middle of an overhead swing.The stick slammed into the ground, and the grass around me died in a wave. It was only a meter-wide circle, but it was clear that the effect depended on the force, and the movements I could use were crazy.Even so, there was the underlying issue of them having to "fetch" each item. As a matter of fact, this would not be helpful, and if I do not pay attention, it ma
"Sure, I can do that," I said as I let Jilly take the lead, and I stayed in the back with Nushi and the Cerberus girls between us.If there was ever a place to try to attack, it would be from behind. There was a feeling of tension when we got into the forest. I already had both the Loose Leaf Dagger and my flame sword out and on."Why do we have to come? My feet hurt!" Nushi complained, and I gazed down at them and sighed."Why did you wear shoes like that? You know we were going for a walk," I said, shaking my head.Nushi was about to complain to me again, but Jilly hissed at her."Quiet! Take your shoes off and carry them! No, just climb on my back, and we will pick up speed," Jilly said as she was looking around, but I could hear movement."Get on her back, and girls transform so you can keep up. I will fight off whatever is coming if they get close," I said as I started to run with the other, but I could hear growling and yipping like do
I could feel myself being lifted off the ground by soft hands, and I barely had the strength to stand on my own. My body had that particular kind of muscle pain reserved for the day after an intense leg day, but this was on every inch of my body.It was like my muscles had all been torn apart, and I could feel them painfully healing back, but it was like I was feeling dry. I was finally starting to get my vision back; I had to close my eyes the entire time Grogvel laughed; the vibrations made it too hard to look at anything."You can stand, good man. You didn't piss yourself, and there was no way you were going to keep your lunch down. Still, I didn't think that you would even be able to talk after that!" Grogvel said, and I cringed, thinking that he was going to get me with another round of laughter.Nothing came, and I let out the breath I had been holding, standing up straight. The pain and fatigue were passing now, and I rolled my shoulders as Mary was about
"I was not going to do anything to him, you blind-worm! He is yours, I get it, calm down!" Jilly said as she backed up and scowled at Mary.I was confused, but I needed to get the food, or the girls were never going to eat, but I didn't understand what was up with Mary and her possessiveness. Jilly went over with Nushi, and the two of them stared at me as I placed the steaks and ant sections on the grill."What? What do I not know?" I asked as I finished placing the last meat on the grill.Mary was holding her arms around my neck and resting her head on my back contently now that the other girls were back from me. The Cerberus girls were on the other side of the fire sitting back a bit, and they were all watching the fire."You know why she is acting like this, don't you?" Jilly asked."No, well, I kind of do, but a bit of an explanation would help. I would assume Mary is going into heat or something like that, right?" I asked."She has grow
"First, you have the Fighters, and I am sure that would be the natural class for you, but make sure to listen to the others as well," Nushi told me with her tail swinging around excitedly.She looked cute like this, but I had to put a hand out to stop her. After that, it was time for the girls to eat. I had already taken the meat off the fire, and it was cooled now, and I had cut the meat up."Sorry, Nushi. Let me get everyone fed, and then you can explain it to me," I said as I gave Mary a quarter of a steak.I gave the other three pieces to the Cerberus girls, and each of them took a piece from my hand. The three looked cute as they chewed away.After I was done with them, I grabbed a bunch of chunks that I had cut smaller and dropped them into Mary's cleavage. The little snake hissed excitedly, and Mary cuddled into me more.I scooped up the ant sections and popped the first two into Jilly's mouth but then handed her the rest of them. Then I gra
After I placated Nushi, she went and joined the other girls while I finished feeding Mary. As I was doing that, I reopened the menu for the selection and was about to warn Mary to cover her eyes just in case, but I let that breath out as I made the selection.No light came on, but I did it with a crash course on what seemed to be a very basic class and then a small stat chart with numbers like a game. The names were straightforward enough that even this meathead could puzzle them out.[Shaman Class] Acquired!{Shaman}: With this class, you will need to create bonds with all forms of nature in order to receive Totems.
