SWNOVELS Chapter 1013 The Trio Of Goobers
-----
The next morning came, and with that, I slowly woke up. I felt slightly refreshed as I stretched my arms around and felt the breeze of the wind coming from outside the cave.
Aquarina wasn't at my side this time, she had gone somewhere else, which is surprising as she's usually sleeping until very late.
Which was actually a bit worrying, what happened?!
I quickly walked out of the tent, finding her there. She was right outside the cave butchering another giant goat she hunted!
Wait, what? She hunted another?!
However, Zack and Luck were also helping her butcher it. I could hear their conversation quite clearly by expanding my Senses.
"I can't believe you two hunted this one, well done!" Aquarina was congratulating them. "It is not as strong as mine though, heheh."
"Those things are sure tricky, man…" Zack complained. "Eh?! What do you mean it wasn't as strong as the one you hunted?! It was even stronger I think!"
"Nah, mine was stronger, just accept that." Laughed Aquarina.
"Y-You…!" Zack grew a bit angry.
"Come on now, we didn't hunt this one for you two to fight over it…" Luck facepalmed. "You wanted to thank Sylphy for the armor, right Zack? That's why I helped you out… Also you promised me you would convince Sylphy to get me some equipment out of the monster materials."
"Yeah, yeah~ Sylphy's pretty greedy sometimes. I'm sure she'll love this gift and happily make you something if I ask her nicely." Zack said.
"That's… I guess you're not wrong." Aquarina nodded. "She's a greedy little princess, hehe."
Well, he wasn't wrong…
However…
"Hey! Did you get permission to hunt this?!"
I ran towards there with all my speed, resembling a flash of bright light as I landed in front of the two.
"S-Sylphy?!" Zack, Aquarina, and Luck all reacted the same way.
They really made an adorable little trio of goobers sometimes…
"I just woke up and I find another goat dead…" I facepalmed. "Ugh, my mother's going to kill us!"
"C-Calm down, I got permission!" Zack said, he was clearly lying.
"I know when you're lying Zack." I sighed.
"Urgh… Sorry Sylphy, we just wanted to make you happy." Luck said.
"Y-Yeah! Don't blame them, please." Said Aquarina.
It was surprising that she was actually defending them… Also, why are they so afraid of me?
Have I slowly become like my mother as I grew up?
I guess I'll be fulfilling a similar role that she had in the previous hero party, huh?
After always getting tired of my mother nagging at me, I ended becoming similar to her at the end.
"Ugh… Okay, I'm not angry or something. Come on, don't be afraid of me." I smiled, although my smile only intimidated them, even Aquarina felt the pressure I was trying to hold back.
Actually, I was really angry, my mother was going to give us a deadly scolding.
"But okay, I get why you did this. I also heard you saying that I was greedy, Zack." I said, crossing my arms as I looked into his eyes.
"Eep! I'm sorry ma'am!" He cried.
"W-Why are you so afraid?!" I cried.
"I-I don't know, but that face you make… reminded me of your mom a lot." Zack realized he was being nonsensical.
"Ugh…" I sighed again. "Anyways, we'll have to explain them what just happened. I bet they already know anyways; our parents have super senses everywhere."
"R-Right…" Zack sighed, feeling guilty.
"Sorry, we were a bit reckless…" Luck said. "But Zack was eager to repay you for the awesome armor he got, and he really wanted to try it out… He's my first friend that's… a guy, so I wanted to help out too."
"I just woke up once I smelled the blood and wanted to get some of the meat because we almost ate everything yesterday." Aquarina giggled a bit.
"Okay… It's alright." I said with a smile. "I know you didn't do it out of malice. You're good friends. So, Luck, you wanted something for yourself?"
"A-Ah, yeah…" Luck said. "Well, I also want something for Lara. I want to give her a nice gift…"
"And you want something for Mist, right?" I asked Zack.
"Y-Yeah…" Zack nodded. "I heard the pelt and the horns have light element, right? Mist element is light so…"
"Sigh… You two are so predictable! You really just do everything for the girls you love, huh?" I giggled a bit. "Well! I'm not that different myself…" I glanced at Aquarina, as she blushed at my words. "Alright, let me help you dismantle this, and then I'll start thinking about what we could make for them."
"Really?" Zack asked. "Thanks a lot Sylphy! You're the best friend I could have ever asked for!"
"Yeah, thanks a lot!" Luck said. "Since you and everyone else appeared in my life that everything has turned for the better… Thank you!"
"Geez, you two are so corny sometimes…" I felt slightly embarrassed, as I patted their heads. "Alright, let's work! Aquarina, wanna help?"
"S-Sure! I was already helping anyways~!" Aquarina agreed immediately, but came to give me a hug and a kiss. "Thank you for understanding them and being so nice. Mooch, you deserve extra kisses today!"
"Heheh, fine, I accept this little reward!" I allowed her to cover my face with kisses. She gave me a few in the lips, which made the two boys watching blush in embarrassment.
I guess seeing two cute girls make out was a bit… stimulating for them. I can't really blame them.
"A-Alright Aquarina, that's enough. We can kiss more in private. Let's start the job." I said, giving her a little kiss in her adorable nose.
"Okay!" She nodded.
Like that, we began our job. Thanks to my help, things got done much faster. We separated the meat, internal organs, bones, melt, and horns in a couple of minutes, and then stored it all inside of Glutton, who happily swallowed it all.
"CHOMP…! BURP…"
"Uuuh, Sylphy, is it okay for the food to get all covered on this monster's saliva?" Wondered Luck, feeling a bit unease.contemporary romance
"Oh? Don't worry, Gluttony doesn't leave things nasty, it is only like a visual effect… His saliva never gets into anything, unless he licks you directly, like right now!" I giggled.
"WAARF!"
Little Glutton was licking Luck's face as we spoke.
"Uuaagh! Let me go! Ugh…!"
