As we walked outside of Fuyu, she seemed to be a bit dispirited.
"Ah, you're going already? Okay then… Take care…" she sighed.
"What's gotten into you?" I asked. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah… I am okay." Said Fuyu. "I just wish I cold go there as well, being a stiff giant fortress is cool and all, but its not always what I want."
"Hmm… I guess we can do this." I said, as I touched Fuyu with my hand and then stretched my soul into her own soul, connecting both."Huh?! W-What the…?!" she asked. "Drake, what are you doing touching my soul?!"
"Wait a bit…" I said. "Here."
My hand slowly began to melt as it turned into a clear, blue-colored slime with a small crown made of ice, which jumped into my head. I regenerated the hand I turned into slime in an instant.
"Eh? What…?" wondered Fuyu. "I can see… through two directions?"
"Yeah, I connected your soul to this Slime, it is your own Avatar now, so you can use it to walk outside." I said. "It is nothing too much, but it can give you some liberties. I just copied Benladann's ability to give her Mold an Avatar in Miranda's body."
"Ooohh! True! I can manipulate this body and have senses through it!" said Fuyu. "Then let's go on an adventure!"
The little slime that Fuyu had become suddenly jumped out of my head and landed over the floor, beginning to leap around happily.Benladra looked at it with surprise, although she felt a bit scared that Fuyu was moving too fast, but she was used to slimes because she had seen my slime clones many times before as they wander around doing things.
"Swime!" she said, pointing her tiny hand at Fuyu.
"Ah, Benladra, you look bigger than me now…" said Fuyu. "Remember me? I am the giant castle that talks! I got into a new slime body."
"Swime… Fuwu…" said Benladra. She was completely in the blue in here, she didn't understood.
"I don't think she gets it." said Belle. "But don't worry, you can be our new pet."
"Pet? I am a giant castle where all of you live and you dare call me pet?" asked Fuyu. "Do you want me to throw out all your stuff, Belle?"
"Eh?! No! My treasures, clothes, and stored food… don't throw them! I am sorry…" said Belle. "You can't even take a joke…"
"Hahah, you two will interact a lot, don't you?" asked Miranda while laughing.
"I don't know if this was a good decision." I sighed, as Benladann smiled while holding Benladra in her arms.
"I think it is nice of you, this way Fuyu can explore the outside world. Though… is that slime any strong?" asked Benladann. "Like… can it fight?"
"I infused some of my skills, but small slime clones have a limit, I put a monster core inside so it can develop by itself, if its connected to Fuyu's soul, she'll be able to transfer part of her powers into it eventually as it grows stronger." I said. "She just has to drink some mana potions and maybe absorb mana cores through the slimes skills that let them eat anything."
"Oh, you're right, I guess we'll see her growth eventually… So what are you planning on registering in the Adventurer guild as?" asked Benladann. "I will register as a warrior, I guess…"
"A tamer!" I said.
"Tamer?!" asked Benladann, Miranda, and everybody else in surprise.
"I told you I don't count! I have already grown out of being a mere pet for you, I am a beast girl now." Said Yuki. "Though depending in the population density there, I might still be discriminated…"
"Don't worry I will say you're my tamed beast girl then." I said.
"That only makes it worse!" said Yuki.
"I am joking! Hahaha… Come on, don't take me seriously." I said. "But anyways, I got three tamed monsters with me, right? Frost, Belle, and Fuyu, the two crows will also be registered and then I will let them off to fly around and scout for me."
"CRYA!"
"CRAA"
The two crows were sitting at each side of my shoulders, like two very tall guardians overseeing everyone, they were very calm and act nice with people despite how intimidating they look with those sharp beaks.
"WOOF!" Frost barked loudly, he seemed excited as he waved his tail.
"I see, I guess it is fitting for you. Ah, we are already out of the jungle…" said Benladann.
We had already been waiting while talking, and we reached the outside of the jungle in just a few seconds after starting our journey. They jungle was gigantic, and it surrounded an even larger marshland area, but that area wasn't within our interests for the moment.
We had left Fuyu hidden within the outer layer of the jungle, so that's why it took so little to walk out of it. I had felt some eyes looking at us from the distance, but they never approached to attack us or something, so I let them be.
Perhaps they were natives of the jungle? I feel a bit bad for disturbing them with Fuyu, I hope they don't find her and just continue with their daily lives.
"Waaa!"
Benladra looked at the scenery in front of us with surprise, she was amazed over the beauty of the grasslands in front of us, so beautiful and large that they looked like an ocean of grass.
"You like this place, dear?" asked Benladann.
"Woo…" she said.
"Well, let's keep going, look, there's a road there, let's take it so it leads us to the duchy." I said.
We began walking across the road, there was no snow at all in these areas, and the temperature was actually rather warm, there was a big sun atop the sky and there were barely any clouds, buy there was a nice and cold freeze that calmed down the heat. Frost was a bit tired of the heat, as a giant monster covered in a lot of fur… but he was hanging out just fine.
