Once we explored the second floor, which included my parents meeting the two factions of spiders and slimes, and their respective king and queen, we moved to the third floor, the big surprise that nobody had ever seen before.
"THE SEA?!"
This reaction was shared by every single person! Including my two parents. I had already blown their minds with the first floor, but the third one made them go even crazier.
"This briny air, the warmth of the sun, the warm sand below my foot, the coconut trees, the sea waves… And the islands at the distance- Is that a huge castle?!"
My mother was fascinated, looking around everywhere with eyes shining brightly. She even stepped into the water with her clothes on, covering herself on a bubble of light to not get herself wet.
"Wow! And it is so deep! It goes so deep I can't even see the bottom…" My mother cried as she sank into the oceans. "And there's so many fish everywhere! I-Is that a huge reef too?! Corals, crabs, mollusks, sponges?! There's even starfish here?! W-What is this biodiversity!"
"It is so much more diverse than the first floor! And huge!" My father said, swimming without protecting himself with magic and just sinking down. He spoke through telepathy.
"This is amazing! We have never meet the sea before but is it like this?! Is it really this beautiful?! Woooaaah!" Mist was crying out of happiness.
"L-Let's take a dip, Mist!" Zack was excited, taking out his shirt and boots. "Everyone!"
"E-Eh?! B-But- Uwaah!" Mist couldn't fight against Zack as he princess carried her into the sea.
SPLAAASH!
"Uwaaah! It's salty, ugeehh…" Mist groaned while resting over her boyfriend's shoulders. "Get me out, you dummy!" She started to hit his head.
"Ouch, hahaha! Come on, it's not that bad!" Zack laughed. "It makes a good combination with this warm sun and this cold water!"
"Woah, so this is the sea! Looks like a lot of fun, hehehe!" Lara immediately jumped into the water after throwing away her little boots.
"W-Wait! Lara, don't be so reckless!" Luck ran behind her as he threw away his boots and shirt. "I'll teach you how to swim at the very least!"
"Hehe, looks like they're having fun. Let's go in as well, Celica!" Celeste smiled.
"Sure! I wonder what sort of fishies we can find!" Celica giggled.
SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!
Everyone else dipped into the ocean, so I decided to join them with Aquarina, as we nodded to one another and started swimming with my parents.
Zephy didn't knew how to swim, so I told Ignatius to be his floaty. He reluctantly accepted, carrying him around the salty water.
"Why have the great me been reduced to a babysitter?" He sighed.
"Let's go! Move faster, Ignati!" Said Zephy.
"My name is Ignatius!" The dragon angrily said.
We explored the seas and swam as much as we wanted. The waters were calm today, so much that we were able to swim all the way to the Tropical Paradise Island, where we ate a lot of fresh fruit.
My mother was fascinated by the quantity of available fruit everywhere, and the natural animals, an island filled with animals and no monsters was a very rare sight in this world.
"So many fruits and animals… If you ever wanted, you could easily make a fortune by profiting off what your dungeon creates, Sylphy!" She said. "We could also provide much better variety to our country… Its population has increased by a few hundred after the Anima Tribes moved in…"
"I was already thinking about that, mom." I nodded, smiling back at her. "I'm counting on you so you can help me out export these things to other territories or even the capital, so we can slowly build a larger capital and support our country better."
"Y-You don't really have to though…" She said while being surprised over my humility. "You can also simply keep it all for yourself, I will never complain if you choose to do that!"
"It's fine~" I giggled while sitting over the grass at her side, munching on a banana. "I'm not doing it because of some sense of responsibility, it's just because I genuinely like helping people and also want to make a profit!"
My mother smiled sweetly, kissing my forehead, and then caressing my red hair. "I guess we've raised you well… To have such a beautiful heart, you make your mother very proud."
"Aw come on now, you've never been like this!" I giggled, as she was hugging me.
"I-I'm not?! S-Sorry… I'll try to be more loving with you from now on! A-Am I still too strict?! I try to be as much of a good mother as I can…" She sighed, suddenly feeling slightly sad.
"I-I don't mean it in such a way…" I laughed. "Calm down, let's go have some fruit salad! We've collected a bunch!"
"O-Oh, right!" She nodded, closing her book. "Then, how about we make something here? We could find some ingredients and…"
BAAAM!
Suddenly, a big tremor echoed behind us, as my father, Zack, and Luck arrived, bringing huge wild boars, a bear, and some deer they captured.
"We brought some meat for lunch!" My father said while walking bare chested. "Let's make some lunch! I'm quite hungry already."
"There was a bunch of monkeys too but I don't know if those guys taste good." Said Zack. "Monkey meat just feels wrong to eat to be honest, hahaha."
"I got this huge bear!" Luck wagged his tail happily and proud. "Lara! I got this for you! Am I a good mate?"
"You are!" Lara giggled happily.
Eh? Is this how Anima talk? That's a bit awkward, but maybe it's a cultural thing.
"Hey, Allan! Why are you just hunting the precious animals our daughter created so easily?! Don't you think they're precious? You didn't even asked her permission!" My mother started reprimanding my father.
"Hahaha, calm down Faylen, it's fine, right?" My father laughed, asking me.
"Yeah! As long as I supply some mana, they'll reproduce quickly over a few more weeks or months, don't worry." I shrugged. "Let's have a tasty lunch with what we can find!"
I was already on my full vacation mood, time to enjoy this to our heart's content!
