Like that, after that lighthearted conversation with Frank, I screamed so loud I ended waking up everyone else that was sleeping inside the house. Although I am always feeling homesick and wanting to meet my family as soon as possible, I've still made myself some family here. Although I am still missing them more than anything, I cannot just dismiss the people I have in front of myself.
The twin Desert Elves Ariant and Eriant.
"Yawn… Can't we sleep a tiny bit more? I am so sleepy…"
"Ugh, the rough floor is bad for my back…"
The Elven Maid Fiere.
"Ah… Huh?! Ah! How much did I sleep?!"
Sol, a Hero from my world that was given a second opportunity in here.
"I can't believe I would ever feel this tired before… Ah, I feel much more refreshed. Sleeping really does wonders."
Luminous, the Last God of this World.
"Hm, the Humanization Skill Leveled up without me realizing… Level 3 already? But nothing has changed! When can I even look like a human? At this pace, even Level 10 won't do…"
Brunhild, the Giantess that wanted to explore the Outside World.
"Five… more minutes…"
And of course, Elfina, my summoner.
The timid elven girl, who slowly grew into a brave girl that fought off against Demon Lords and even the frightening Demon Emperor at my side.
Damn I miss her.
I guess I really do miss Elfina.
I miss her innocent smile, her gentle nature, her overly worried personality, and how she was always thinking on everyone else except herself.
Damn it, I shared a lot of adventures with her despite the little time we spent together.
"Alright guys, I can sense Elfina's closer… And my radar tells me she's near that city… I don't know why or what's really happening at this moment but… We need to find her. I miss Elfina a lot, actually…" I sighed. "Okay, I admitted it."
"So you finally admit you miss her!" Fiere angrily said. "Geez, why do you have to pretend you're cold when you're just as sensitive as all of us?"
"Because its… cool?" I asked while giving her a smile.
"You're very cool Kireina-sama!" Eriant said.
"Yeah!" Ariant said with a cute smile.
"I don't really need your approval guys…" I sighed. "But thanks for that, we've only meet for about a week but you guys already have grown in my heart. Thanks for being my companions in all of this."
"Eh?! S-Sure… We are happy to help! We are friends after all, right?" Eriant smiled.
"Fweeeh! Kireina-sama! You're making me blush!" Ariant giggled.
"Aw come on, don't get embarrassed now you two. You're always sticking to me since I meet you in the middle of the desert almost being eaten by cactuses!" I sighed.
"Kireina! W-What about me?" Brunhild asked half-excitedly while trying to fight her sleepiness.
"Well you're also a nice and important companion too! It has only been a few days but I think you're an adorable and cheerful girl, Brunhild. I'll make sure that we can show you the outside world some more." I said to the little giant.
"Ahahahah… Oh myyy… You can't just go and say all those sweet stuffs!" She said while blushing.
"Hmph, it is nice to be more honest about your feelings." Luminous said with his new lizardman-like appearance. "However, we should really get out of this damn mountain now. I can't feel any more strong monsters, I think we have cleansed it from all of them."
"And it is already morning…" Brunhild yawned. "I guess we really sleep it off until the next day when the Evil Dragon died… So where are we going? Where's Elfina at?"
"There." I pointed at the city at the distance.
"That's the Capital of the Goldsand Empire!" Said Ariant.
"I heard they're going through a drought though, much like our village. The Oasis where the city was made has begun to deteriorate too." Said Eriant.
"Really? But why?" I wondered. "Just normal?"
"Not really… Well, it was happening too fast." Said Ariant.
"But we can go ask in there! Let's go!" Eriant got hyped.
"Alright you guys, then we are going off in my back!" Luminous quickly shapeshifted into his Dragon God Form. It was very dramatic, clouds emerged from the sky and lightning fell over him, a loud explosion of light spread into the skies like an arc.
C R A A A A S S H H H!
Z A A A P!
Z A A A P!
Z A A A A A A P!
Lighting and electric shocks spread everywhere.
And then, the smoke slowly dissipated, revealing a gigantic silver and white scaled Dragon God of Primordial Light… or something along those lines.
"Can't you reduce your size big guy? We don't want to go scaring people now." I said.
"I can only reduce it by a bit." He answered, quickly reducing his size up to 50 meters.
"That's not much at all!" I complained.
"I am sorry but this is all I can do…" He sighed.
"Well, whatever…"
P O O O F F F!
Suddenly, Brunhild's size changed too.
"Giants are not so common in the outside world. So let's evade any problems like this." She said with a smile. "I learned Polymorph Magic using Skill Points!"
She had become only three meter tall now, she had certainly gotten very small! Her appearance remained the same I guess but the size what was mattered for now, I suppose.
"Can you keep this small size?" I asked.
"Yeah, it consumes Mana every second but mine regenerates very quickly, and I got a lot!" Brunhild said. "There's no problem at all!"
"I see, then all's good… now we just need a way to hide a giant dragon coming to a big city without people panicking… I guess I'll have to find something myself regarding that topic now…"
Di ng!
