Chapter 16 A New Friend



There was a tall man, almost two meters tall. He was slender and looked very handsome as his face made him look like he was in his late teens. However, his body seemed to make him look older. He had short and spiky gray hair, flashing aquamarine eyes, paired with pale-white skin, so pale that it looked like candlewax. Topping it all off, he wore black clothes and a blue scarf covering his neck. He seemed rather calm and cold-headed, exuding a powerful aura within him.

And to his side, there was a woman even taller than him. If he was close to 2 meters, she was definitely 2 meters tall, if not a few centimeters taller. Her entire body was chocolate-skinned, quite glossy even. Unlike the slender man, she was packed with muscles, but also had the charm of a feminine woman.

In any case, her smile seemed confident and strong, and she was definitely beautiful. She had a scar on the middle of her forehead. There was also a scar on her belly and in the middle of her chest. Now that I think about it, her entire body had scars. Oh right, I was able to see her body because she wore very revealing clothes, only covering her large breasts and her nether regions. I guess she liked to show her muscles.

She wore tribal-like clothes and had colorful feathers decorating her long and blonde hair. Her eyes were sharp and emerald... And with that, she brought a little girl in her arms. I think she was a bit younger than me... though, she looked fully conscious, looking around everywhere.

She had the skin color of the woman, but her long hair tied into a ponytail was gray like the man. Plus, her eyes were aquamarine as wel. She looked so adorable in that blue dress. It kind of reminds me of my little sister, to be honest...

"Hahaha! You\'re finally here! Shade! Nepheline!"

My father greeted the two as he hugged them tightly.

"Your little Aquarina is has gotten so big now! Look at her!" my mother could not help but say.

"It\'s been a long time, Faylen, Allan." the man, named Shade, said in response.

"I see your little girl has also gotten big. Look at her, she\'s the vivid image of Faylen! Hahaha! Can I hold her?" Nepheline asked.

"Go ahead! Ah, right. Sylphy-chan, these people are our friends, former Heroes like us!" my father explained all of a sudden.

"Really?" I asked.

"Oho! You can already talk, little girl!" Nepheline said in response to my question, carrying me with her big and strong arms before placing me on her other arm, right in front of Aquarina.

"She\'s a Half-elf, isn\'t she? She has your hair. I\'ve never seen an elf with such hair color before," Shade could not help but mention.

"Hehehe! Right? She\'s super pretty!" my father replied with a wide grin. I\'m sure he felt proud of me.

"Aquarina, how are you? Well, I guess we\'ve never met before. I\'m Faylen, and this is Allan. We are your parent\'s friends," my mother said to Aquarina.

"Fwends...?" Aquarina timidly asked in response.

"Yeah, I hope you can get along with our little girl. She\'s named Sylph, but you can call her Sylphy," my father responded.

Oi! Let me introduce myself at the very least...

I extended my hand to Aquarina as her beautiful blue eyes looked at me timidly.

"Hello, Aquarina! Nice to meet you! Can I call you Aqua for short?" I asked.

"A-Ah... Uwah..."

Aquarina suddenly became red as she averted her gaze from me.

"Eh? D-Did I say something wrong?" I asked.

"No, Sylphy-chan. Aquarina is a shy girl, you see... Aquarina, don\'t be rude at the little girl. She just wants to be your friend. You talk about making friends all the time, right? So, here she is! Come on, dear..." Nepheline said.

Aquarina shyly looked at my eyes after that as she quickly looked down at my red dress.

"H-Hi... N-Nice to meet you..."

"Uwah! You\'re so cute, Aqua!"

I held her hand tightly after that. She was a bit warm. In fact, her baby hand was soft.

I petted her silky head and smiled back at her. I wanted to be friendly and let her break the ice so she can relax and be more open.

However, the opposite happened. She began to get even more red as her face seemed fuzzy.

"Uwawawawahh..."

Even some smoke began to appear out of her face. Did she have some sort of fever?!

"Is she okay?" I asked.

"Haha, yes. She\'s just very timid and you\'re way too open, dearie. Don\'t worry, she\'ll get used to you," her mother said in response.

I hope so... I don\'t want to make her feel bad.

"S-Sorry, Aquarina... are you okay?" I asked soon after.

"Buhh... I-I am fine..." she sighed.

"While the cake is ready, how about you two girls get to play around for a bit? Let them wander around the house for a bit," my father suggested.

"Sure thing! There you go, you two," Nepheline said in response as she let us down on the floor.

I quickly stood up, but Aquarina had a bit of a hard time standing.

"Hahh..." she sighed.

"Come on, dear. You can already stand, right?" her mother asked.

"Here! Grab my hand!"

I extended my hand to Aquarina, who was currently looking at me timidly.

She shyly moved her hand towards mine, and I held her tightly in response, lifting her upwards and helping her stand.

"Ah..."

"See? It\'s super easy!"

"T-Thanks..."

Aw, she\'s so cute!

We wandered around the first floor rather leisurely as I showed her the things inside the house, such as that jar with an eye in it, a beautiful red jewel necklace, a painting of the castle of a kingdom I don\'t know about, and even a large sword affixed on the wall, which was one of the many swords my dad had.

"Oohh..."

She looked at the surroundings with curiosity. In fact, every time she became surprised, she would blush a bit.

"Aquarina, wan to be my fren?"

I asked her this out of nowhere.

"Fren...?"

"Un! We\'re both girls... and also the children of Heroes... So we should be frens!"

"Oway..." she replied.

"Yaaay!"

I hugged her tightly after that.

I finally got a friend...

"Thank you."

"I-It\'s nothing..." she said shyly.

As we were celebrating, a sudden rumble came out of nowhere.

BOOOOMMM!!!

W-What the heck was that?!

It was the same rumble that would appear when something enormous landed on the ground...
