Chapter 1196: Back To The Old House
"Sylphy! Aquarina! Hurry up and get your tent down, we're moving out already!"
My mother's words quickly woke us up from our daze, as we had to quickly separate each other's bodies, we weren't doing too much of anything, just a lot of plain ol' loving, I guess.
But that might be considered too much by some, so we quickly stopped what we were doing before wasting more of everyone's time and got the tent down.
"Yeah, mom, coming! Wait a bit please...!" I cried, as Aquarina was getting her shirt back on. "Hahaha, we overdid it a bit." She giggled. "But I can't get enough of my Sylphy~"
"Geez, enough with that." I felt embarrassed. "We can continue with what we left off tonight though?"
"Sure~!" She said happily.
We walked out of the tent, got it done, saved it inside of Glutton, and made our way back with my party. The robots bid their temporary goodbyes to us as they went on their own thing for the moment, and I opened a portal back outside.
I still had to choose a new Dungeon Floor though! And I also wanted to check the Civilization of the Arboren down there, but I can do this tonight or tomorrow morning, no rush.
We walked outside of the dungeon, finding ourselves right in the wetlands, the sun was high in the sky, the rivers and swamps extended up to the eye could see.
Many animals and monsters of large sizes were grazing by, some hunting, it was a peaceful yet wild landscape, untamed.
"Phew, the dungeon is nice and all, but nothing beats the real air of the outside world!" Nepheline smelled the wetlands fresh air.
"I suppose you're not wrong there, Nepheline." Nodded Arafunn. "I'm sorry for saying this Sylphy, but the air of your dungeon feels very... Well, "artificial", it was quite hard to breathe it and use it with my magic without feeling this weird feeling about it."
"Yeah, same." Zack nodded. "Though I wasn't as sensitive before, with all these cultivation techniques Master Arafunn has taught me, I noticed something similar..."
"Hahaha, I guess... Our lives weren't as colorful as they are now before we met you guys, so thanks for making us and Lara feel so welcomed." Luck smiled honestly, his wolf ears twitching cutely as he felt embarrassed. "Truly, thank you so much."
"E-Eh? No, please calm down, there's no need to be so thankful!" I stopped him. "We're pals, come on. Just take it for granted for once~!"
"I-I guess I should, thanks still." Luck smiled. "Right Lara?"
"A-Ah, yes..." Lara nodded, feeling embarrassed herself. "Thank you guys! Truly! I was distracted by the spirits, hehe..."
"Nah you were just embarrassed, huh?" Luck teased her, patting her head. "She's really happy, but sometimes she can't be honest with herself, so she pretends she's just happy go
luck."
"What?! The hell are you talking about!" Lara gasped. "Luck, the spirits are calling you a big dummy by the by!"
"H-Hey! Really?" Luck felt pressured by the spirits gazes he couldn't discern.
"She's joking with you, dummy." I giggled. "Ah, Celeste, how has been the trip so far?"
"W-Why are you asking me out of nowhere?!" She grew red.
"Well, you're our friend, right? And you had quite a harsh... Beginning, so I kind of was hoping this would help you unwind a bit." I smiled.
"A-Ah, Sylphy..." She sighed, crossing her arms. "Of course! It has been pretty fun, yeah, let's admit it. It still hard for me to move on but, I am moving, and that's what matters."
"It is indeed." I patted her shoulders.
The house could be seen from the distance.
We were back once more, for our last week.
