Big Novel

Iris hummed, holding Eiko in her arms, as she headed to her personal training field, while Lux followed a few steps behind them.

The Half-Elf had lent her his Soul Book, so she could also see Eiko's stats. Lux was hoping that Iris would be surprised after seeing Eiko's status page, but the blue-haired beauty didn't even bat an eye after seeing the information that was in front of her.

"Iris, don't you think it's strange?" Lux asked. "Eiko's progression bar requires 1000 Points although she's only at Rank E-. Isn't this a bit too much?"

Iris stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at Lux with a confused expression on her face.

"Isn't that normal?" Iris blinked. "My Beast Companions had the same progression point when they were hatched from their eggs."

The corner of Lux's lips twitched when he realized that he had forgotten that Iris' Beast Companions were all Mythical Beasts. Her standards for normal were already very high at the start, which made Lux feel sorry for his own Summoned Creatures, like Diablo and Ishtar, which started at 100 Progression Points at their lowest rank.

"Oh! Are you worried about raising her rank, Brother?" Iris smiled. "Don't worry. I will give Eiko a hundred Rank 1 Beast Cores to upgrade her Rank. This is my responsibility as her Mama. But, the rest will have to depend on her Papa, okay?"

Iris winked at Lux before she continued walking towards their destination while humming a song.

Lux could only scratch his head. Iris was really treated like a Princess in Barbatos Academy. A hundred Rank 1 Beast Cores were nothing to her. On the contrary, he had to fight against hordes of monsters in order to secure the same amount of Beast Cores.

'Well, I guess this is also a good thing,' Lux thought. 'My supply of Beast Cores has dwindled as of late. I don't even have enough to upgrade Diablo, Ishtar, and the other skeletons. I guess I'll have to farm beast cores when I return to Leaf Village.'

While Lux was still thinking about the most ideal place to go to hunt for Beast Cores in the Beginner Zone, they finally arrived at their destination.

The moment Iris appeared in the training room, two monsters immediately ran up to her. One was a White Tiger, and the other was a Unicorn. Both monsters were two meters tall, which would have been intimidating to those who were not familiar with them. However, since Lux had visited Iris many times in the past, her two guardian beasts recognized him immediately.

The White Tiger nudged its head against Lux's chest, and the latter rubbed its neck, which made the tiger purr.

"Have you been a good boy, Hanz?" Lux asked the White Tiger who seemed to be enjoying the attention he was receiving from Lux.

Hanz growled lightly as if replying to Lux's question. Among Iris' Beast Companions, the White Tiger and the Half-Elf got along the most, and would play with each other whenever Lux visited Iris in the academy.

The Unicorn stared at the blue slime in Iris' arm and neighed. Clearly, it wasn't happy seeing its owner pamper a monster aside from them. It even moved its head closer to look at Eiko who was also looking back at it.

"Eiko, this is Astra," Iris introduced her unicorn to the slime that was looking at it with curiosity. "Astra, this is Eiko. She is mine and Brother's baby. Please, get along with her, okay?"

The Unicorn gave a light snort, as it moved its head closer to the baby slime. Astra didn't like it when other monsters, aside from its companions, got near Iris. Unicorns get jealous very easily. This was why it decided to intimidate the baby slime, who was currently monopolizing its Master's good graces.

Eiko stared at the unicorn for a few seconds before spitting a blob of water at its head, drenching it completely. The Unicorn hastily backed away as it shook its head to dry itself from the unexpected attack from the baby monster.contemporary romance

The baby slime giggled after seeing the unicorn's antics, and immediately spat one water bullet after the other.

Astra raised its head arrogantly as it easily dodged Eiko's attack, making the baby's smile turn into a pout. Seeing that its attacks weren't hitting its target, Eiko stopped spitting Water Bullets and cried!

"Oh, don't cry little Eiko," Iris coaxed the baby slime as she cradled her in her arms like a baby. "It's fine. Astra will play with you some other time."

The baby slime instantly quieted down when Iris started to feed it Beast Cores. However, she didn't expect that what she was doing could make anyone green with jealousy if only they were able to see Eiko's Status Page.

Although his Soul Book was currently in Iris' hand, the rows of text that appeared in front of Lux made his throat dry.

"... Damn," Lux muttered as he scanned the long list of bonuses that Eiko gained after being upgraded once. He finally understood that the baby slime in his stepsister's arms was definitely not an ordinary baby slime, but a baby slime that matched the power of the mythical beasts in Iris' Bestiary.
