Chapter 1385: The Next Morning
Chapter 1385: The Next Morning
The next morning arrived nicely, there was some warm sunlight coming from the closed windows. Although outside it was still cold and with snow, the skies were clear, and the faint sunlight was coming in hot.
As the sunlight hit my face and annoyed me, I slowly opened my eyes, feeling finally well rested. I slept for at least seven or eight hours... I don't know if that's enough though.
I rolled over the bed, missing my big Aquarina to hug and cuddle with, but being happy with Naturia, Alice, and Yggdra to compensate.
They were much smaller individually, but all three were barely enough to hug while sleeping. They were warm too, so it was nice, and they smelled like spring flowers.
"Muhh..." Naturia slowly cuddled and hugged my belly. "Hmm..."
She was a sleepy little spirit!
"Hmm..." Alice gave a little sound, and she slowly opened her eyes. "Ah, good morning Sylphy... I think I was also tired... I slept a lot."
"I can tell... the portal is- Still open?" I looked at it. "Master is still with the Robotians, most likely..."
"She really ended liking them more than I imagined," Alice said.
"Yeah..." I nodded. "And well, there's a lot to talk about with her too, like that she figured your powers out of nowhere and more... I got a bit scared, but I'm relieved she's still a good person, if sometimes a bit... weird."
"She's definitely on the weirder side but she's a good person at the end," Alice smiled. "Rest assured, you've entrusted our secret to all your friends, eventually, someone else would also learn about it. Slowly, you'll have to reveal my identity to everyone, and the true power you possess..."
"Hmm... I don't know, I don't know if I'm still ready..." I sighed.
"Are you afraid they might reject you?" she wondered.
"A bit...? I mean... if they know that... you know, my soul and all..." I said. "Maybe they'll think I am someone else that possessed their daughter's body?"
"You're overthinking, and I didn't mean that part, that could remain a secret forever if you want," she said. "It seems your soul has seamlessly adapted to the world; Felicia couldn't tell it came from another world. Also you didn't possess the "original" Sylphy, you ARE Sylphy. There wasn't a soul before yours, you are the only soul."
"Really?" I asked. "Sometimes I thought that, and it weirded me out..."
"Don't worry, the reincarnation doesn't work like that," she sighed. "A body is predicted to appear, and the soul is assigned before it is born or has a soul at all. Usually, a soul is developed within a fetus when they're around a month old."
"Oh, I didn't know..." I said. "That's interesting..."
"It used to be right away but the process was decided to be delayed by a month so things could be neatly scheduled and structured," she explained. "Even as hand wavy as Hekaton treated you, he still did his work properly."
"Even though we kind of robbed him off his divine power, huh? After getting that endless mana..." I smiled with laughter.
"Hahaha! Well, I guess so! I don't even know what that man might be up to now, is he angry? I wonder..." Alice said. "He did say he would send a hero here... someone from Earth."
"I hope we can meet that person one day, if they're a hero I'm sure they'll join us," I smiled. "Anyways! Time to start a new day!"
We talked through telepathy about these things, obviously, we didn't want someone to overhear.
"Muuuhh... don't wanna!"
Naturia kept grabbing my belly and dragging me back to bed.
"But baby girl, we have to wake up and have breakfast!"
"Don't wanna! Let's sleep more master..."
She began rubbing her face on my belly and then fell asleep again.
"Really now? ... Yggdra, you there?"
I looked for Yggdra, finding her being hugged by Naturia in her belly.
"Ugh... Almost... someone save me from my daughter... She is indeed bigger than me in our spiritual forms..."
"Hahah..."
I gently grabbed her and freed her from her daughter's grasp.
"Phew!" Yggdra sighed in relief. "Thank you master."
She quickly kissed my forehead before flying away with her fairy wings. Then I quickly left Naturia sleeping over the bed. I realized the more humanoid she became the more human- like she acted too.
Back then she was always energetic but now she has taken a liking at eating a lot of food and also lazing around and taking long naps.
What am I going to do with this girl?
"Well, a new day is upon us!" I sighed. "Yesterday, it felt like it lasted for a whole month, that fight... I'm still tired from all of that."
"Yeah, I'm sure you are," Alice nodded. "I think everyone is. Today will probably be a lazy day. Even if your master forces everyone to move, nobody will. Everyone needs at least a
week-long break."
"True..." I nodded. "Can't deny that. I should go take a bath and then eat breakfast... Sniff, sniff. Hmm, I can smell something, I think its freshly baked bread, or toasts... pancakes or
waffles, maybe."
"Perhaps your father is preparing breakfast already, well, it's quite late now," said Alice. "It should be around 1 PM!"
"That late?!" I gasped. "How long did I sleep?! Like twelve hours or something? I gotta go take a bath!"
I ended running to the bathroom, where I took a quick warm bath. I also helped Alice, Yggdra, and Naturia wash with me. I didn't invite the other familiars though; they were all very tired
and resting in my Soul Scape.
"That was refreshing~"
As I walked out of the bathroom with a new set of clothes, which included leather pants, a blouse, and a puffy sweater for the cold, I walked downstairs while trying to keep the warm. The house had a nice temperature, but even then, the cold outside was so strong that it would eventually get a bit cold inside anyways.
"Dad! You there?"
"Oh, Sylphy, good morning! Or should I say evening? Breakfast is almost done. Late breakfast,
but breakfast nonetheless."
"Nice! Where's everyone else?"
"Felicia's still inside your dungeon, and your friends are taking a bath I believe."
"Oooh, okay then!"
I ran to hug my dad first, kissing his cheek.
"I love you dad..."
"Hm? Sylphy..."
After everything that happened, I just wanted to do that.
