Chapter 1093 The Slimes Wake Up

Chapter 1093 The Slimes Wake Up

-----

What greeted us was an enormous group of colorful slimes. They were finally fully recovered and looked very curious about what had just happened. I can understand. Just some time ago they had been captured and were in a state of coma, and now the tree that captured them was gone and they were in the middle of nowhere.

However, as if Pyuku's presence couldn't be more unique, his very existence calmed them down. Through my Senses, I could feel how they relaxed the moment their eyes meet Pyuku. The Aura that he emanated seemed to soothe them, somehow.

"Gyuh?"

"Guguh?"

"Kyuuuh!"

"Guguguguh!"

"Guh? Gugoh?"

"Gubo!"

They made all sorts of adorable noises, leaping over Pyuku and admiring him with their tiny eyes. They extended small tentacles, touching his face or eyes. Pyuku ended falling on the grassy terrain while laughing as they tickled his body. They seemed unable to speak words and made little noises instead.

"Ahahaha! W-Wait a second, you guys are tickling me all over- Hahaha!" Pyuku only giggled innocently at their act.

Everyone else was left slightly speechless of how playful these people were. We all had thought or imagined that they would... I don't know, act less childishly? But they were tickling him and all. As if they were just children playing with their older brother. But perhaps this was a way to communicate in a way.

"I-I didn't think they would just begin tickling each other." Aquarina raised an eyebrow. "Pyuku definitely doesn't like being touched that much so its weird he lets them touch him."

"Maybe it's a cultural thing?" Celeste wondered. "Among all Demon Tribes, we all have sorts of different cultures and customs, you know? Perhaps it is the same with these slime people."

"A cultural thing..." Mist sighed. "I wish I could know if there was anything regarding my people's culture." Zack's hand patted her shoulders.

"T-That's awful..." Nepheline gasped. "Are they okay in the head? Maybe they need some therapy. That's not something you simply get over with so easily."

"I know, they'll need some maybe." Pyuku nodded.

"So they used to live in those grasslands. Perhaps we should return them there then? We are at the border between them and the desert..." Said Shade. "Unless they have other plans?"

"They... Well, they began calling me the "Slime Messiah" and think I am something like their new leader and King. So they told me that they would follow me anywhere." Pyuku said. "T-

This is a bit too much for me. I honestly don't know what to do."

"So they plan to follow you?" My mother wondered.

"Well, if that's the case..." Shade said. "Then let them. But they can't physically be with us. They're too many. Offer them two options. To either stay inside of my shadows like before..."

"Or a golem I can construct can carry them in a giant basket or something." Said Nepheline while nodding.

"O-Okay, I'll go ask them... They have no plans though. Maybe I should ask more about that too. Like where they came from. And also... Perhaps if they would be okay with staying at Agartha?" Pyuku wondered.

"I thought it might be too fast to ask them that, so I didn't say anything." My mother said. "But yes, if you think so, go ahead and ask them, boy."

"I-I'll do!" He quickly ran back to the slimes. And they started talking in their language. Touching tentacles and making cute noises.

Eventually he came back with a rather sour expression.

"T-They don't really like the idea... But said they will follow me anywhere though. I guess they don't like it but would?"

"Hmm, they're certainly a complicated bunch." My father laughed. "How about we eat something first?"
