Chapter 200 We Are Moving Out!
-----
After Zack walked outside the tent, he sighed in relief.
"You had a pretty well-built body for your young age, but don't overexert yourself. You have to make sure to live your childhood too." I said.
"Eh? Why are you talking like an old woman out of nowhere?" he asked.
"Ah! N-Nothing… Anyways you stink, you're taking a bath after breakfast." I said.
"Sure… I'll take a bath." He said.
"With me and Aquarina." I said.
"Yeah, sure… EH?!"
Zack looked at me as he grew increasingly red.
"What? We are friends, you're literally my brother to this point, and Aquarina's too, we often took some baths together with Aquarina and I, so you are joining shouldn't be anything bad…" I said.
"T-That's… not right! Men and women shouldn't share bath!" he said.
"Why are you so stiff? You're literally from a tribe of wild people… Be freer…" I said.
"I-I won't take a bath with you two!" he said, suddenly covering his crotch with his two hands.
"Why are you covering yourself there?" I wondered while raising an eyebrow.
"N-Nothing! Shut up! I-Idiot!" he said, running towards Aquarina's tent where her parents and mine were right now.
Seriously, did he got a boner out of thinking that? Maybe it wasn't a good idea inviting him to a bath, I actually wanted to give him a massage using magic so his muscles would stop being so tense, they were very stiff, and he might get cramps. Imagine having cramps at such a young age…
"Pyuku is nowhere to be seen." said Aquarina, joining me as she saw Zack running away.
"What's up with him now?" she wondered while raising an eyebrow.
"He got a bo- Nothing." I said.
"Huh?" wondered Aquarina.
We walked back to the tent, where we finally found Pyuku, he was actually eating stew out of a wooden plate that our parents left in the ground.
Oh, so he was just hungry and came to pick up a nice meal, I get it.
"PYUKUUUU!"
Aquarina cried a bit as she jumped over the slime, who was startled and almost tried to run away, but she was faster than him, after all you don't grow weak when you're trained by a Hero that saved the world, especially one that is the fastest of them all…
"Pyuuuuu…" cried Pyuku, as he began to get squeezed by Aquarina's arms, his entire body turned liquid and began to spread around the orifices of the hug, as if he were melting away…
Aquarina got some very strong hugs, I tell you that.
"Sylphy, good morning." Said my mother, as she kissed my cheek.
"Good morning mommy, what's for breakfast?" I asked with a voice of a spoiled girl.
"Stew." She said expressionlessly.
"Stew again?!" I asked.
"Sylphy! We are not at home! We don't got all the ingredients we want, be patient." Said my mother.
"O-Okay…" I sighed.
My father came to my side and hugged me tightly, kissing my forehead and my nose.
"When we get out of this, I'll make sure to get you some tasty food. How did you slept?" he asked.
"Good…" I said.
My father always spoils me more than my mother, but I have also seen the soft side of my mother. It just that my mother is always stricter, sometimes…
I guess that's just her nature as a very old elf now that I think about it. Maybe I have to think about her as if she were a very old grandma…
Ah, no, better not, that completely destroys my image of her.
Shade and Nepheline greeted their daughter and Zack was already sitting over the table eating stew while looking at me. He was all red like a tomato.
"What's gotten into you now?" I asked.
"N-Nothing, shut up…" he said angrily.
"Zack! Are you telling my princess to shut up?" asked my father while furrowing his eyebrows. He actually didn't tolerated when he was insolent to me while he was present.
"A-Ah! N-No…" he said.
"Apologize to my girl! You think you can just treat her however you want in front of her father?" he asked.
"N-No, sir! I am sorry, sorry!" he said, apologizing to me.
My father crossed his arms while nodding.
"Father, relax, we are friends, his personality is just like that, I don't really mind, I also call him idiot sometimes." I said.
"Ah…" my father looked at me with a bit of a complicated look on his face.
"Come on, we treat each other badly all the time," said Shade.
"T-That's different!" he said.
"You're too overprotective of your girl, Allan, she won't grow a backbone if her father is always protecting her even from a kid telling her to shut up!" said Nepheline.
"You're no one to tell me that!" said Allan while pointing his finger at Nepheline.
Nepheline began to laugh loudly as she teased my father.
"Ahahahahaha! Look at him angered!" she laughed while pointing her finger at my father, she suddenly slapped Shade's back strongly, almost making him cough, so he could laugh at her side.
"Ugh… Yeah, I saw, you don't have to slap my back…" he sighed.
"O-Oh… My bad… I sometimes forgot you're the skinny type of guy! Ahahaha!" she laughed.
"My mother's laugh is the loudest there is…" said Aquarian while covering her ears.
"Okay, girls, relax. Here's your stew, dear." Said my mother, giving me and Aquarina some stew with a big piece of bread and then she served some tea.
"I am not a girl!" said my father.
"Well you act like one sometimes, relax." Said my mother.
"…"
My father looked at my mother expressionlessly, but I could see he got a bit of disagreement with her.
He sat down and began eating stew in silence, it looked like things were a bit tense with him, he seemed like he had some stress accumulated.
"Anyways, what's happening outside?" I wondered.
"Yeah! Why are the people moving out the things and all? I don't get what's going on…" said Aquarina.
"Oh, that… Well, we are moving out of the Forest." Said Shade.
"Yeah." Said Nepheline.
"EH?!"
