Chapter 1157 Back Outside, Friends And Slime Disputes

-----

There were many Traits available, some were useful and others not so much. I browsed through them, looking specifically for those that's strengthened the Civilization Deity, and found a couple. They were all very expensive though, and none were as good as the one I had acquired previously. I could waste away some EXP getting a few, or I could just save it for later Dungeon and Civilization Upgrades.

So yeah, I decided to withdraw my "money" and save for later. The Civilization Shop is tempting though, but because everything is related with the Civilization, it isn't as if I can buy something for myself, it is all for that Civilization benefit. It is up to me how I can make it become my power as well. But the bonus stats really help, yeah.

Once we were back outside, the first thing we heard was Zack calling for us, apparently for the third time today. He looked rather annoyed.

"Hey you two! Are you going to keep making out or are you coming to eat breakfast?! I'll give Mist all your pancakes if you don't come!" He said with a mocking voice.

"We're coming!" I cried.

"Wait, don't give her the pancakes! She'll eat them too fast! She's like, very voracious!" Aquarina cried as well.

We ran outside the tent, greeting Zack who was just sighing after we finally walked outside. He looked at us into the eyes.

"You two, seriously... I know you two are girlfriends now and even engaged for future marriage. But you need to calm down a bit, alright? Don't spend too much time doing your stuff, or you'll end up skipping breakfast, lunch, and dinner all the time." Zack was reprimanding us for being too horny.

"Hey! We weren't doing any weird stuff; we were inside of Sylphy's Dungeon helping her civilization." Aquarina said, smacking his head. "And it's not like you're innocent either."

"Ouch! Hey, did you had to be so rude?!" Zack groaned. "Come here!" He smacked her head, only for Aquarina to smack his back, they love acting childishly.

"Why are you hitting a lady you monkey boy?!" Aquarina kept smacking his head.

"Agh, you brute gorilla girl!" Zack groaned.

"Hahaha! Enough, stop fighting you dummies." I stopped them. "Let's just go eat."

"It's not like we don't know about that stuff already." Celeste smiled with a teasing smirk.

"Ugh, shut it!" Aquarina groaned, about to throw her a piece of bread in her face, but Pyuku stopped her.

"Aquarina, don't waste food..." He said. "Be nicer with people! Like you were nice with me."

"Pyuku... Ugh, ok. But she was clearly not being nice!" Aquarina barked, still throwing the bread on Celeste's face and making her fall off her chair.

"Agh!"

"Big sis!"

Mist and Celica went to help her stand back up as Celeste sighed.

"Nah, don't worry, I'm used to the gorilla." Celeste shrugged, grabbing the piece of bread and taking a bite. "So we're just picking the rest of your pals, Pyuku?"

"Yeah, that's the plan!" Pyuku nodded. "Everyone's excited! I feel them living right below that weird tree over there! So we just have to pick them up and we're done. I don't sense any monster or something below, and no ruins either. So it's a safe place."

"Finally your people are living inside a relatively safe place for once." Zack sighed. "The first two times... Weren't that good."

"Y-Yeah, we are not well known for making brilliant decisions, but we survive nonetheless!" Pyuku nodded.

The rest of the slimes were formed into large groups eating food and talking in their cute dialect. The ones from the grasslands and the ones from the desert were rather culturally different. The ones from grasslands were much friendlier and slightly childish, while the desert ones had a slight sense of superiority for some reason, and judged others based in their colors.

If they had bright colors they treated them better, but if their tones were darker, they actively showed their dislike for them. It is nothing too extreme, at the end of the day they still protect and look for one another.

But even then, I never thought I would see racism between slimes, but here we are.
