Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea

Chapter 32 Temporary Space Storage

?Huh!!

The response I got back from Bones was a little strange.

What does he mean that he is on a tropical island?

Aren't we both of us stuck in this godforsaken man-eating belly of a beast?

Oh!! That bastard!!

What does he mean by he isn't coming back?

I wanted to berate him as always, but I was curious. If the little guy wasn't in the same place as me, then where was he?

My brows furrowed together as I suppressed my growing curiosity and sent him questions, asking him to describe where he was currently.

It wasn't as long as I thought I would wait before I finally got back his response.

The response I got back from Bones was baffling. Where he had just described for me was vastly different from where I was currently.

Tall trees with delicious fruits. Beautiful waterfall scenery. Crystal clear pond. Wide grassy land…..

And weirdly enough the 'Fantastic Beast Of Records' was there with him.

Yeah!!

No matter how I looked at it, Bones was clearly not in the same place that I was even though I vividly remembered taking him down with me on my suicide mission.

Still, it was bizarre.

Even though I might not have been in this world long, I can definitely guess that even for the denizens here, this wasn't natural.

I could feel Bones through our connection as though he was very near to me. But when we communicated, it felt as though he was far away.

I frowned.

If Bones wasn't trapped here with me, then where else could he be?

I focused all my attention on the connection between us, and after a while, I felt something.

The same way I knew how to instinctively channel my thoughts and emotions towards Bones was the same way that this feeling made itself known to me.

I could pull the strings of our connection.

No, I could control it. I could cut it off, and mend it back together.

And now, I could pull it.

It felt like something that shouldn't exist, yet it did.

Cutting off those strings ensured that my Bones couldn't hear my thoughts or feel my emotion. Mending it back would ensure the opposite effect.

And now I could pull the connection like an elastic rubber band.

"Guess I have no other choice than to find out".

I pulled it.

I felt myself getting a little bit tired mentally. But still, I pulled harder.

Strange. It felt as though the air around me was getting a little bit condensed.

My eyes snapped open.

The view in front of me was that of a small vortex distorting the space around it with the air becoming visible itself.

"Pulp!!"

Bones landed, falling face first on the ground as he looked around with a seemingly confused expression.

The little guy was too absorbed with his new surroundings that he hadn't noticed me yet.

"What? Do you think I wouldn't mind a companion while being trapped in such a place alone?".

He froze. Snapping his head to my side before he quickly came towards me.

Why do I feel as though this guy has gotten more intelligent?

A minute ago, he was acting as though my words were disturbing him from enjoying whatever he was doing.

Now, he is behaving as though I mean the world to him and was happy to be back from whatever secluded dimension he had just walked out from.

"I thought that you didn't want to come back anymore" I said.

Bones who was now at the waist of my belt jumped and climbed until he was on my shoulders.

His response came not too long either.

I heard his reply and couldn't help but roll my eyes at him.

His art of kissing ass was annoying at times, but because I knew that his circumstances as a beast as being at the bottom of the pecking order, I didn't hold it against him.

It was only fair for him to find a place where he would live without worry, fear of hunger or being at the mercy of being preyed upon.

He was at the bottom of the hierarchy as all humans who weren't able to become ascendant were, but much worst.

Like life will forever fuck you and all your next of kin in the ass kind of worst.

His reaction and behaviour were nothing more than his deep primal instinct for survival.

Still, I couldn't help but ask myself if it was because he was forever loyal to me. If the reason we felt so close as though we had known each other for a long time was that he would never be able to hide anything from me and open up all his emotions, thoughts, and desires.

"It might have been for the best" I said to myself as I looked at Bones.

Yeah, such a situation must have been for the best.

If not, I don't see myself taming him or any other magical beast of a grandeur calibre.

Calling myself a beast tamer was somehow ironic to me because I didn't need to coax them, tempt them or show them the privileges of joining my flock.

Albeit some rules, all I needed was their blood, and every other thing would fall into place.

Still, I wasn't one to look at a gift in a horse's mouth or complain since I could already guess the consequences of what would happen if I had entered this world without the book.

Or god forbid that I had never come across the 'Happiness god' and the book had never fallen into my hands.

But, one thing that I want to know was whether my emotions for him were one-sided or not, only time would tell.

Now, time to get back that book.

It might have taken me a while, but after some time of thinking, I had finally figured out where Bones and the book were.

Didn't the rules of the 'Fantastic Beasts of Records' mention something about a 'Temporary space storage'?
