Chapter 185: Second Day of Quest; Achievement unlocked, First Mount!
"Xuexue ~ We are here ~~ " I shouted as I entered Xuexue’s home cave.
Getting here from the foot of the mountain took around less than five minutes.
Mostly because we have to climb some parts and jump here and there. It is not the same as running on flat ground. Although well, in this area of the continent the terrain is not very flat to say the least.
"RAWW ~ "
"Meww~ "
"Mmew ~ "
"Meew ~ "
Not only Xuexue greeted me. Xueling, Xuebing and Xueyue did too.
"Awwww~ how comfortable, they are so soft and warm ~ ~ ~ " because of the size of the three little ones I can hug them all together. Their fur is so soft and fluffy.
With Xuexue it is different, being very large I can barely hug her neck, especially because her fur is very long and super fluffy.
At least Xuexue’s fur is not as curly as a lion’s. What is that type of hairstyle called, Afro?
Maybe it is because of the connection but today the three little ones pay more attention to me than yesterday when they practically ignored me. They deserve a prize.
"Good! Tikshna, help me light the campfire and place the grill. Kara please cut the meat and we have to add salt and spices ~ "
"Yes..."
"Mm."
I took out the tables and kitchen utensils as well as a grill from my backpack, the same ones as yesterday.
In five minutes there were already cuts of meat on the grill above the campfire fire. Seeing Tikshna turning the cuts of meat and thinking that her familiar is a cow makes me feel a little funny.
The little kittys just like yesterday wanted to pounce on the grill not caring about the heat of the fire. If I do not hold them they would jump into the fire anyway.
The little lambs are not afraid of tigers...
Although we are talking about little kittys.
Although we had already had breakfast. Kara, Tikshna and I ate a little roasted meat while Xuexue and the three little kittys enjoyed the roasted meat.
"Vrem.. Vremya..."
"Uhnm? What is it Tikshna?"
"...No, should not we... Explore?" Tikshna, as shy as always, asks me avoiding my gaze.
Again on the white blanket from yesterday we were all sitting after the small snack with Bing, Ling and Yue lying on my legs.
Unlike yesterday, this time I opted to wear a denim skirt. It feels good to feel the soft fur of the three kittys on my skin, it is very pleasant.
And Dianeira who wanted to see me in a skirt seems to be missing it hehe~
Since I have been wearing my white trench coat. When closed it covers me completely down to the boots. So I suppose everyone thought I was still wearing pants like yesterday and not even Dianeira asked about my explorer outfit.
Since I cannot simply sit on the blanket with the trench coat, I had to open it so it would extend behind me and be able to sit with my legs bent or stretched.
Although Tikshna tries not to look I have caught her looking at me but it does not bother me. It is Kara who does bother me, she does not look at me at all, it makes me feel a little less desirable...
Do I not have appeal!
Shaking my head I paid attention to Tikshna and answered her.
"Do not worry, with Xuexue we can explore easily, these areas are her territory and she must know secret and hidden places and ways to access inaccessible areas.
Right, Xuexue?"
"RAWWWW~ ¨~ ~ " Xuexue behind me answered happily.
"And, them?" Tikshna pointed to the three little ones on my legs.
"Do not worry, I have a way to take them with us ~ " The moment has come, for the first time I will bring living beings to my personal space, the Reminiscence Room!
I closed my eyes and my Fairy Wings appeared behind me. While I hugged the three little kittys in a moment they seemed to disappear like ghosts.
After a couple of seconds they were no longer in this plane.
"Eh? Di.. Did they disappear?" Tikshna said with a raised surprised voice.
"Mm?" even Kara showed astonishment. Although it was barely noticeable in the tone of her voice and in her eyes.
Xuexue behind me did not even get up. The connection we have made her understand that they were still with me, not in this place but close.
The Reminiscence Room is already fully equipped. Although I cannot see what happens inside the Reminiscence Room, I can feel that the three little ones are fine and not scared.
Thanks to Ria, the Reminiscence Room has a space completely furnished like a fully equipped bedroom.
And not just furnished and equipped with simple things, but with high-quality furniture.
Ria has brought not only a large and long comfortable sofa with a coffee table in front, there is also a tea table with comfortable chairs. Behind the large sofa there is a large bed where king-size size remains like a single bed.
There is a large trunk where Ria keeps her toys like tablets, video game consoles etc.
There is also a cabinet where tea sets like dishes and other things are stored and wardrobes where there is clothing.
Although they are things where people can live comfortably and not for beasts, the three little ones can be comfortable and I have prepared things for them to entertain themselves, besides they can sleep on the bed or on the carpet.
Ria does not seem to mind. And with things like hair on the furniture I can fix it easily with magic, besides it is not like the Reminiscence Room has dust or dirt problems.
"Do not worry, now they are at home ~
Since everything is ready, let us get back to work ~
Xuexue!"
"RAAAWWW ~ " Xuexue stood up, her height almost reaches the cave ceiling of more than three meters high.
"..." Tikshna and Kara looked at each other and followed me and Xuexue out of the cave after putting everything away.
"Xuexue ~ "
"Raw ~ " Xuexue lowered her body a little and with a jump, with the help of my flight abilities, I could climb onto her back.
"Girls, get on ~ " throwing a little Fairy Dust on Tikshna and Kara, both girls started to float.
With the combat practice we have had all this time the girls are already used to the flight ability so it was not difficult for the two to settle behind me. Or so I thought but only Tikshna placed herself behind me.
"Kara?"
"In front, safe" Kara said without turning her gaze after she sat in front of me.
It makes no sense for me to be in the middle while we ride Xuexue, but it is not like I complain either. Kara’s scent is very nice and Tikshna’s body behind me does not feel bad at all.
"Vrem.. Vremya..." I heard Tikshna’s voice behind me.
"My ability gives me a special space. Similar to the fairy kingdom but I call it my Reminiscence Room, when I become stronger I can also take things to my space, but now it is the first time I take living beings.
Ling, Yue and Bing are small and not very powerful so it was not difficult for me to take them to my special space.
Although I am still not strong enough to take Xuexue and one person..."
I said without hiding much about the ability I showed to take the three little kittys to my space.
"Eh.. No... Vrem... I wanted to ask... If ... If I can hold on... To you..."
"Oh ~
I thought you were asking about the whereabouts of the three little ones, hehe, yes you can hold on to me . . . "
Then I felt Tikshna’s arms passing around my waist.
"No.. I promise... Not to tell .. Anyone . . . " Tikshna said close to my ear.
"Mm!" Kara, in front of me answered as confirming Tikshna’s statement.
"Thank you, although it is not like I want to hide it from you, it is just that it was not useful before.
Besides, there must be trust among everyone in the group or in combat we could die easily."
This is not a lie. In classes they always tell us about trust among everyone in the group and training apart from growing our strength is so we can have a tacit understanding among all.
In war, if you cannot trust your team everyone can die from any insignificant error.
"Yes..."
"Mm..."
Tikshna and Kara answered softly to my words.
Then I felt Kara’s hands take my hands and bring them toward her making me hug her and placing my hands in front of her belly.
With Tikshna behind me and Kara in front of me I communicated with Xuexue through the spiritual connection and at the same time said out loud.
"Xuexue! Let us go!
Let us explore that area in this direction! ~ "
"RAAAWWW ~ " Xuexue answered happily and started running quickly toward the direction my spiritual feeling transmitted to her.
"AHH!"
"HAHAHA~!"
Tikshna screamed in astonishment and I laughed out loud. Xuexue’s shown speed is great! Just at the beginning with her powerful paws I can say she reached more than two hundred kilometers per hour in an instant.
Xuexue can jump easily regardless of the snow or slippery rocks from the ice. Xuexue’s claws easily penetrate the mountain rocks holding her easily and agilely.
The cold wind on my face makes me feel the speed of movement. But nothing that a small protection field magic cannot fix.
But enjoying the powerful sensation of a mount is unique ~
