Chapter 215: Dark side (1/2)
”Eh? What for? Do you wish to change your physical body?”
He asked the wisp while scratching his face. It would be bad if the wisp was considering his Fire Dolls as something like clothes. In which the wisp could change it whenever it wanted.
The wisp replied hastily, ”No, Mister…”
Upon hearing it, he glanced at the wisp, waiting for the continuation of its words. It continued saying, ”...I want to give it to my friend!”
”Your friend?” A frown happened on his face. (Ah, must be the bees with him.) Yman thought so. Then he opened his mouth and said: ”But I don't think bees can do what you can, and I don't think they can use it the way you did.”
After saying it, question marks were floating above the wisp's head. The wisp seemed to be puzzled by his words. ”No, it's not for them; it is for my other friend,” the wisp told him in haste.
”.....”
Yman went silent for a second before saying: ”Oh, I see. Another wisp, huh,” Yman muttered and pondered.
No need to guess about the kind of creature the wisp's friend was. Since the wisp seemed to know that aside from itself, the others could not possibly do the same thing as it did.
(But,)
A whisper came into his ears.
Yman pondered again.
'Hmm… you're right, my deity. That certainly is a good idea,' he replied to Sistela.
Stardust Magical Flower is a kind of flower that is mostly found in a condition below the starry skies and rich magical energy soil such as this mountain. In fact, such a place wasn't hard to find. So many people were able to gather it.
Last time when Yman browsed the online market, he saw some people selling it. But the authenticity and freshness together with the expensive cost made him uncertain to buy the items.
Although this kind of flower could be gathered easily, it was rated as a semi-rare flower. People could gather them in a said condition and mostly in a place near the river or lake. But the most troubling part of it, aside from the high demand from consumers, it also could only be gathered in selected months.
Fortunately, the current month was one of them. Another cons of it was that it didn't grow by bulk. This flower only grew in fewer numbers.
”I don't mind, really,” he replied to the wisp. The wisp joyfully responded: ”Thank you, Mister!”
Then he continued saying: ”In exchange… if you happen to find the Stardust Magical Flower. Can you gather some for me?”
”Stardust Magical Flower? Do you mean the Twinkling Flower?”
Yman smiled and nodded. Twinkling Flower was the other name for it.
”Okay, Mister!”
Not far from them.
The spiders finished off the entangled enemies using their fireballs.
Yman and the others noticed the three people they rescued, they were warily staring at the spiders.
He then called out both. The three people widened their eyes when the spiders obediently walked towards the young man. When they arrived beside him, the two immediately vanished.
”So it was his summon?” The younger looking youth out of the three, muttered in disbelief.
”Hey, bro, thanks for the help!” The younger youth shouted gratefully as they walked towards him. The three of them were from Raccoonmen race, one of the race of Demihumans.
”No, biggie,” Yman replied in a calm voice.
(However,)
”Tsk, no need to thank him. We could defeat them either way without his help,” a thin and tall Raccoonman snapped.
”Right!” A fat Raccoonman also agreed.
The younger Raccoonman knitted his brows. ”No, senior, it was clear that those creatures could not be dealt by our spells.”
”Shut up moron! It is because you didn't do your practice very well that your magic is useless against those pests. Pwe!” The fat raccoonman bellowed.
”Eh—!”
The young raccoonman fell silent in the fair that the senior student would be mad at him.
Sistela grumbled. But aside to her partner, no one else could hear her as long as he wasn't permitting her to use the loudspeaker option.
Yman didn't know what to think of with his Deity's remarks. It was what he was always talking about. It wasn't only applied to humans, but also to Demihumans.
Not all people have the same satisfaction as the others. Some were self-centered like the two in front of him. It was only to be expected as every person has different reasons and consequences in life.
The type of surrounding they grew up in, would greatly affect each individual's attitude.
He noticed the dissatisfaction from the two. Yman was tired of this kind of behaviour that others showed towards him. Unfortunately for them, he wasn't the old him who would fall silent in the corner at other's shout.
