Chapter 1193: Important Conversations Of What Await Us In The Future
Using my Cooking Skill to aid in the process, we cooked some delicious breakfast together with Aquarina. Nothing extraordinary, just some really tasty pancakes. With that said and done, we ate together as a big family, talking about what has happened so far, and the big journey we've had together, while I also talked more in detail with the fight we had against Jupiter, with Aquarina adding some notes as I explained further.
There were a lot of people now, even some that joined us along the way, mostly a lot of slimes, but also the four golden statue-like people with enormous sizes and beastly appearances, yet with hearts of gold, and the origin of Orichalcum, the Hegenemeia People, with Sphynxiette as their leader.
"Well, a lot has transpired even when I joined you all, but as always, you all have our eternal gratitude. Without your help, we would have continued suffering in those pyramids, to a terrible and slow death." Sphynxiette sighed.
"Yes, thank you so much."
"Thank you, thank you."
"We are eternally grateful."
"Now that we're finishing on a week from now, what are you planning on doing?" I wondered curiously. "Will you join us at Agartha, or will you go on your own?"
"I think we might eventually go on our own, but we would like to spend a bit more of time with you, perhaps a few years, to get used to the language completely, the customs of your people, and also the history and your society, so we can meld better and not be freaks." Sphynxiette smiled gently.
"W-Well, I guess so." I nodded.
"It's not like you'll be able to hide your presences or something, you guys are HUGE and covered on gold! You'll bring all the attention." Aquarina said honestly.
"Hahaha! We acknowledge how different we are, and we know we might be quite surprising to the eyes, but your mother Sylphy, has explained us that there are many types of "demon
people" so we might be able to pretend to be them for the time being to justify our
appearances." Sphynxiette giggled.
"I mean, yeah, as long as I explain it to the citizens myself, it shouldn't be hard." My mother nodded. "I'll also have to use my connections and ask my father for help to seek more golden pyramid ruins around the world. We do have a lot of explorers and spies across the entire
world so that shouldn't be too hard over the next couple of years."
"Wait, spies?!" I asked in surprise. "Isn't that bad?"
"Bad in which way, my daughter?" My mother tilted her head. "Every big kingdom will always have spies on other kingdoms, even if we are allied or without any enmity. They are essential to keep us updated of their things. Though sometimes they might get discovered and either escape or get killed- Ahem! I know this is not the place to talk about this."
"It sure isn't!" My father explained. "By the gods, we are eating, Faylen..."
"I'm sorry, sorry." She sighed. "Anyways, what I was trying to say is that we'll find the golden pyramids, it is where your people are likely to be trapped inside."
"T-Thank you." Sphynxiette nodded. "I won't judge you based on your previous comments, as a leader I also have to admit such tactics are sometimes necessary. Even in my home planet, when our big country was once divided into many tribes, we often had spies on each one. It appears this is a basic tactic that works in every planet, ahah."
"Hahaha! We might not be so different now." My mother laughed.
I still didn't know what to think about it, but well, in my previous life I became a rogue and an assassin, so it isn't as if I am someone to talk or judge about that.
"Anyways, yeah, I guess they'll be coming with us for a few years." My mother nodded. "W-We hope we are not an inconvenience." Sphynxiette sighed. "It appears many are upset; I am so sorry. Perhaps we should depart quickly? After what you've done for us, we would not want to annoy you."
"E-Eh? No, no, no, we were just upset about something else! Not you guys, you can stay as much as you want!" I said.
"Yeah, please don't feel that way!" Aquarina nodded.
"That's right." Her mother agreed.
"Some were shocked of what Faylen said but they'll get used anyways." Shade shrugged.
"Sorry if it looked like we were upset about you." Celeste smiled. "You guys are super cool, and I would love to have you around every day."
"Yeah, please don't feel bad." Zack nodded.
"Sorry, sorry!" Mist cried. "It wasn't about you! And you're not freaks, you're all so majestic and bright! Nobody would ever think of you as freaks, you're beautiful and wonderful people!"
"Ah, such words fill my heart with so much joy, thank you little Mist." Sphynxiette smiled. "You are also a beautiful bundle of joy and honesty; may the stars bless your path for eternity."
"Heheh, I don't know what that means but thanks!" Mist giggled a bit.
"And about the slimes?" Wondered my father. "Pyuku, you're bringing them all, right?"
"Yes, I hope that's not too bad? There are hundreds of them but... I think it will be alright?" Pyuku said. "We can introduce them to the society, and they all seem willing enough. They can be useful on their own rights. Some already offered themselves for cleaning jobs. We can easily clean things, any things! Also, our bodies are good for mixing and purifying ingredients. We can make potions and other concoctions of basic grade and slightly higher if we are given materials and indications how it is done."
"Interesting! That'll give you a lot of jobs already." My mother nodded.
Oooh, is this why the cauldron ended becoming a slime like Violet? So real slimes also have a slight ability to synthetize items like her! Though her abilities are much, much more advanced and incredible.
Now that I think about it, I should let her interact more with Pyuku and the rest. She's often just hangs around with Glutton and Scarlet and Sapphire.
But being with her kind wouldn't be so bad, right?
