Water Meredith family, Paulie Water, Water Magic
Little Silent, you dont blame me for going to the demon world behind your back, do you?
Theres this lingering sense of guilt for lying to her, even though shes my spirit.
Its fine, master, as long as you are safe, nothing else matters.
Thank you, Little Silent. Confronted by her gentleness, I involuntarily reached out and pat her head. At this moment
Hey! Human! Didnt you say you were looking for the contra-something grass? Why are you still here? I didnt know why Reidy said that in a displeased tone.
Uh lets go lets go now Little Silent, was what you mentioned a while ago true? When met with the hot temper of Reidy, I can only resign myself.
Yes, Master, theres Nora Grass growing near my house.
I see, then I will have to trouble you again to lead the way.
Silent Waters home? I hope the scenery there wont bring back her sorrows.
As we exited the cave, Reidy was already leading the way. Why does she like to walk in the front even when she clearly did not know the way?
Little Silent, what happened to Dusty when you came? While walking, I came to a realization that Dusty was all alone at home.
It originally wanted to follow along, but the transfer magic is only limited to the contracted spirit and the Master, so it had to give up and watch as I came here alone.
Is that so, then did you prepare any food for Dusty?
No, at that time when I felt Masters spirit fluctuate abnormally, I had a bad premonition. I immediately activated the transfer magic to relocate to Masters side and therefore did not have time to prepare any food. However, Master, please be at ease, Dusty can take care of itself.
Ah~~ thats true.
Dusty was not just any normal dog but one with intelligence, therefore, I did not need to be so worried about it.
Hey! Water spirit! How far is it? We have already traveled for a very long time. Reidy, who was walking at the front complained. Really befitting a pampered lady not used to walking?
Just a little while more.
You said that half hour ago, I remember that Guntheru mentioned that you lived at Golubzi? Isnt that very far? Furthermore, there may still be demons lurking nearby.
You can go home, we did not ask you to come with us.
Oh? When did Silent Water become capable of speaking this arrogantly? She cant possibly still believe that my injuries were because of Reidy, can she?
I just I am here because I want to escape from that boring castle Since you are staying in the human world, the human world must be a very fun place.
Wrong, wrong~~~ The human world is not fun at all, it is very dangerous there, not suitable for you.
Humph~~ I dont care. Human, I am going back with you to the human world no matter what. Reidy probably cant handle the changed Silent Water and targeted me instead.
Uh Come if you want, nothing to worry, at most
Is this real? Living together with this pampered lady No why is living together my first thought? She may have a chance at finding her own master and then leave Ok, for the sake of letting her find her own master, it should be fine to bring her back, right? Furthermore, with the Nora Grass, she can roam the human world freely.
But, if you go just like that, wont your family be worried? At this point, I remembered that this lady had run away from home
No problem at all, just let them be worried, they never did care about me before in any case Coming back to my point, water spirit, I have been wanting to ask you since two days ago, you cant be from the Water Meredith family, can you?
I doubt it, I am not from your so-called Water Meredith family. My family consists of my father, my mother, and myself only. Silent Waters expression saddened as she thought of her family.
Then, is your dads name Paulie Water?
Oh please, lady, can you at least read the atmosphere?
You know my father? Silent Water was somewhat shocked knowing that someone knew her fathers name.
You can say that I cant even imagine, your family actually lived in this kind of dangerous wilderness for 12 years.
What do you mean?
Your dad didnt mention anything to you?
Mention what?
I see, looks like they really didnt tell you. Actually, your family is the same as mine, citizens of the spirit kingdom, but around 12 years ago, you were roughly 4 years old at that time? Your dad committed some mistakes and got exiled from the spirit kingdom by the Patriarch Coming back to your dad, hows he? Back in the days, he was actually the successor of the Water Meredith family, in addition to being my dads HEY. Whats got into you stop crying, will you, everything I said is the truth
Even if you are telling the truth, you are clearly still wrong. You shouldnt let Silent Water remember those heartbreaking memories Her father had left this world, yet you still brought up the past of her dad getting exiled from the spirit kingdom?
I remembered this one time when I asked about Silent Waters family. When she was talking about her father, her face was full of smiles, but the thought of her father passing away caused her face to change to one full of gloom. Silent Water really loved her parents very much.
Silent Water, please dont cry, your father is a great man, was he not? He must have his reasons, resulting in that kind of outcome. I promptly patted Silent Waters head. A maidens tears are a sure-fire method to make me flustered.
I am fine Master, Silent Water is fine Silent Water just didnt expect Father to have such a past he never mentioned this to me at all If what Reidy said is true then Silent Waters father is a very great man from a good family and yet, was still able to withstand the pain and hard work cutting firewood, building a house, Silent Waters father is a great man.
Silent Water to be able to think like that, its for the best.
Hey! What are you guys doing? Hurry up, your hands are so dirty, stop touching her head! The inexplicable lady randomly started to throw her tantrum again Then again, Im touching Silent Waters head, not hers Sigh~~ nevermind, a lady a commoner like me wouldnt understand.
One hour later
I I am going to die from all this walking Are you two monsters To actually actually not be tired at all Reidy exclaimed breathlessly and leaned on my back.
No one asked you to tag along, and also, didnt you just say that Masters back is dirty just a while ago? Come down and walk by yourself then.
Dont want to I will lie here no matter what I am dead tired Furthermore lying on this humans back can replenish the magic in my body. With such a good benefit, I would be stupid not to do it.
Taking advantage of Master like that, wont Master be tired? Come down now.
Dont want to.
Come down this instant.
Dont want to.
Listening to Silent Water and Reidy quarrelling, I felt like I was going to collapse. Could it be that water and electricity are not actually complimenting elements? Why does it look like they were polar opposite? Disregarding Reidys temper, Silent Waters previously good temper has been turning worse as the quarrel goes on.
Boy, how is it? Do you feel like vomiting blood now? Give it a few more years, when you encounter more girls, you will even have the feeling of wanting to die.
No, Freed, dont predict my future I only want to know, how to stop them from quarrelling
Uh Around the time you arent here, both of them will probably stop
What kind of logic is that?
I name this the Lin Xiang effect
'
We have probably walked for about three hours we finally reached a lake so clear that one could see the bottom, with a small log house near the lakeside there were two people nearby, sitting on a stump
Father? Mother? Little Silent let her tears flow when she realized who the two were, and rushed over. The two silhouettes reacted like they had heard Silent Waters voice, stood up, and ran in our direction too
Little Silent! Hold up
Silent Waters parents should have been dead, then the ones standing there might possibly be the illusions of a demon
Reidy, come down. I hurriedly put Reidy down and chased after her.
Hey! Despicable human! How dare you treat me with disrespect.
I ignored the complaint of Reidy at the back, and followed in Silent Waters direction.
Father, Mother! Silent Water with a tear-filled face dashed into the embrace of a blue-haired lady, while the other that looked cool and sturdy spread his arms and hug those two into his own embrace.
Little Silent Little Silent, welcome back. The blue-haired lady repeatedly kissed Silent Waters forehead they look as if they are very close Yalide also confirmed that they are spirits not demons, so they must be the parents of Silent Water in the flesh but How are they still alive
Mother Father.. I am so glad both of you are fine.
Our good daughter, we are the ones that are happy to see you doing fine.
I stood at one corner, watching the reunion of their family what a sweet sensation this is a family my family If I could reunite with my family then I can die without regrets.
After being immersed in the happiness of reuniting, Silent Waters father finally noticed my presence, Little Silent, this human cant be
Yes, Father, he is my masterLin Xiang.
Oh? You even went through the contract process? Not bad not bad only he
I forbid you to bad-mouth master, master is very strong, he was the one who took down Genuoduolasu.
What? Really? That spirit hunter, Genuoduolasu? So thats the reason Silent Waters father nodded his head, probably thinking back on how powerful that demon was.
I am very grateful to you, master of Silent Water Can I call you Lin Xiang-sama? The voice that came out of Silent Waters mother was like Silent Waters, so soft and gentle, making those who heard it have a sense of bliss.
Auntie, please dont, just call me Xiao Xiang.
This kind of address really doesnt suit me
Ok then Little Xiang-sama come, have a rest in our house
Ugh Sir, shall we let this go?
I understand, Little Xiang-sama
Ok.
Silent Waters home
And this thunder spirit is? Silent Waters father questioned when he noticed Reidy following behind into the house.
I am from Reiworth family, my name is Reidy.
Ohh? Reiworth? Ah~~its been so long since I heard that name, is that dad of yours dead?
Not yet, my dad is very healthy and he talks a lot about the times back when you two were together.
Humph~~that bastard, I am sure he is still boasting about how strong he was when he was young.
Actually, that did not happen, although, my dad was constantly reminiscing about you, I really did not expect you to still be alive and well!
Oi daughter of that bastard, does this count as cursing me? Paulie Water snickered.
No no, I wouldnt dare
Reidys performance was out of my expectations, is this really the same unreasonable lady? Why does it suddenly look like she's a well-mannered noble?
On the other hand:
Mother How did you and father escape from the attack of Genuoduolasu? I clearly saw both of you
Saw us turning into vapor, right?
Yes
The truth is, dear Little Silent, we water spirits, are a special kind of spirit, as we have a total of three forms
I know, I know, the form consists of liquid solid gas? Dont tell me
You are right, we changed ourselves to the gaseous form, and escaped
But Why didnt you tell me all this time, I thought
Haha. silly child, I also wish I could tell you, but in that situation, what could I tell you? Furthermore, you couldnt possibly achieve the vapor state with your magic power at that time I did not wish for you to fight and so I had hid many things about water magic from you, with our protection, you never had to fight and seldom used any magic, therefore you had such a low magic power
So that was the reason no wonder previously, Silent Waters vibe felt so weak and only needed 10 seconds to replenish her magic; which is incomparable to Reidy who needs more than a minute
But now, your magic has increased exponentially and has already far surpassed us we cant help but be amazed Silent Water mothers stopped at this point and took a quick glance at me. To have such a beauty like Silent Waters mother look at me so suddenly I could only return an awkward smile.
The credit goes to my master. Silent Water embarrassedly walked to my side and grabbed onto my clothes.
I get it I get it you have a good master this matter made me feel relieved then Little Silent, what is your purpose coming back to the demon world this time?
Oh right, master and I want to gather some Nora Grass."
Nora Grass? What do you want that for? Paulie Water who was chatting with Reidy asked when he heard the conversation of Silent Water and her mother.
Father, master said, we humanoid spirits are rarely seen in the human world no never seen before, so, give it a thought, if I were to walk in the streets just like that, wont I be immediately kidnapped by other evil humans?
Oh? That make sense, after all, we are talking about humans here its not in my place to judge but why do you need the Nora Grass?
Master told me that I only have to carry the Nora Grass with me and I will be able to hide my spiritual aura.
Oh? No wonder some spirits utilize the Nora Grass to build their house, to be able to hide their spiritual aura means being able to hide from the attack of the demons and spirit hunters. If thats the case then, you stay here and have a rest, leave the physical labour to us men, right, kiddo.
Right
Forest
Kiddo, whats your reason for choosing our familys daughter? While walking, Paulie Water turned his head and looked at me with a serious expression on his face.
Me? Im not sure
Then, how do you treat my daughter?
I treat her as part of my family is there anything wrong?
When I replied, Paulie Water constantly stared into my eyes making my whole body uncomfortable Silent Waters father such an intense gaze dont tell me you are gay
Humph~~ Lucky you still have some conscience. If, you dare to treat Little Silent like a slave or an object, I will absolutely not let you off but family you must be a good master we humanoid spirits have never interacted with humans before. Most humans are black-hearted, they do not treat us with respect, they use us spirits as something to replace them for physical labour of course, this is all but a large percentage of the human race a small portion are humans like you so putting Little Silent in your care, my mind's at ease. There is a prophecy forget it, your meeting with Silent Water is your fate. Do not let me down and promise me you will protect her no matter what. Although you look weak, but to be able let Silent Waters body holds such strong magic, I doubt you are simple as you look
Uh Im only a little bit special. Only reincarnated, plus host to the dragon Gods, nothing much.
Well~~~ nevermind, lets go, the Nora Grass is just up front, do you see it? That light silvery grass?
Saw it Wah! So large? How do I pull it out?
Cut it Paulie Water collected water droplets while speaking, till it became a crystal clear blade of water and waved lightly, the Nora Grass was cut just like that.
The blade is made out of water, right? Water isnt water formless? How can it still be so sharp
Kiddo, dont underestimate those inconspicuous elements or objects that looks powerless too much. Isnt there a saying that goes "Theres nothing that is useless in this world, only an undiscovered use of it"?
Really? Thats something new.'
Oh? Are you ok? Got scared after witnessing my water blade? Paulie Water laughed as he saw me in a daze and thought that I got scared.
Nah, it feels so intense
Is it? Haha, actually this is just so-so, with such a good opportunity, why dont I let you experience the prowess of water?
Wah? A chance to watch a matured water spirit display his water magic skills? Am I dreaming? This is so cool
You definitely must give me a chance to experience it.
After the last word I said, Paulie Water started to display his magnificent skills using water magic, this has opened my eyes and gave me a new understanding of water magic.
