Chapter 109 - Zookeeper
"Now, lets put things in order" Said Alfonso while grabbing a pen.
After setting things with Lucio, He sat in his room's desk an began to organize all the things that happened since he left Wasteland Valley.
"Lets first get the system's reward, I received a lot of Drachmas to work with, however, the most handsome reward of the system was this" Said Alfonso while grabbing a small bottle, inside one could see a dense blue liquid. This was the prize for the system's mission [Defense of Tulip Town!]
[Unidentified Bloodline
Description: Awakes the ancestor's blood of a bird-type of animal, after consuming, the animal in question will suffer a blood-evolution, however, this bloodline isn't identified so no-one knows what kind of blood it would awake.
Remark: All animals in general are descendant of one kind of Mythological creature or another, however, with the pass of time, the purity of the blood would became fewer and fewer, so, an animal will have a lot of types of blood on its bloodline, however, some of them are more condensed than other, so, this Bloodline might fail if the concentration of blood is too shallow or it isn't In the body at all, if this was the case, the bloodline will have no effect]
"So, the big question here is what kind of bloodline is this" Said Alfonso while grabbing the bottle.
"if we talk about Mythological birds, I can think of some examples, obviously the more notorious one would be the phoenix or maybe a gryphon, in the Japanese culture we also have the legendary Suzaku, one of the four divine creatures, another one would be the Buddhism inferior god Garuda and so on, of course, they are mythological creatures of my world, I don't know if this world had their own mythological creatures" Though Alfonso.
"I already have a candidate to use this, however, I must first council it with the person-bird in question" Though Alfonso.
Just then, he heard a small sound outside of his window.
*Clank* *clank*
"Mmm? Its coming from the window" Though Alfonso.
When he opened the window, a small blue ray flashed to the room and hugs Alfonso's head.
"CHIRP! CHIRP~"
"Hey little blue, its been a while" Said Alfonso
Little blue and Alfonso had their touching reunion for some time, after that, Little blue take its usual position on Alfonso's head.
"Hey Little blue, I have something to talk to you" Said Alfonso while grabbing Little blue and putting him on his desk.
Little blue felt a little upset, he had been waiting for so long to be in its bed, aka Alfonso's head!
"Sorry, It will take a minute. I promise" Said Alfonso after seeing the pouting expression on Little blue.
Alfonso put the small bottle on the desk next to Little blue.
"I have this in my power, it's a bottle that contains something that can make you stronger, although it will not hurt you, I first wanted to talk with you before-"
*Gulp*
Before Alfonso could finish, little had Already finish the blue liquid.
"Chirp?" Said Little blue.
"Ah? Ah, yeah that's all but-"
"Chirp~"
Little blue then flew and sat on top of Alfonso's head.
"I… At least let me finish! You don't want to know what you just took!?" Said Alfonso.
"Chirp?"
"No, of course I will not hurt you but-"
"Chirp~"
"This little… 'I also know that so stop talking an let me sleep' its not a-"
"Zzzz"
"HEY!"
"Zzzz"
Alfonso felt frustrated but not matter what he did, little blue didn't answer, he facepalm him before making a small sigh and resume his work.
"S-s-sir, this little fellow it's too rude towards you!"
A small voice came form the hand of Alfonso, suddenly, his green ring transformed in a small python, Drakini.
"You can understand him?" Asked in surprise Alfonso.
"H-h-him? This little bird is a female sir and a very rude one!" Said Drakini.
"Oh? Little blue was female? I didn't notice that"
"Anyway, he… she is always being like this so I already get used to it, don't worry about it" Said Alfonso.
"I-I-I still felt that its treating you too lightly! You are able to talk par on par with the crippled god that's too awesome, too cool!" Said Drakini.
"This fellow… is like a kid watching an adult" Though Alfonso
"Speaking of something else Drakini, do you felt comfortable being in the form of a ring?" Asked Alfonso to change topics.
"W-w-well, its this one is honest with sir, I-I-I"
Drakini was panicking, he didn't know if he should tell, this make Alfonso curious, what was he trying to said?
"Just say it, we are friends, right?" Said Alfonso.
Drakini took a deep breath to give himself some courage.
"T-t-this one was wondering, if I…could…sleep…in your wrist…" Murmured Drakini.
"In my wrist? But you are too big for that right?" Asked Alfonos.
"T-t-that isn't a problem!" Said Drakini.
He coiled himself of Alfonso's wrist, surprisingly, he fit!
"It seems that the stupid brat gave you a lot" Said Alfonso.
"Y-y-yes sir! I felt that I can change my height just by thinking about it! This must because the crippled god fears sir so wants to please you! Sir is indeed fantastic, you are the coolest!" Said Drakini with some stars on its eyes.
Alfonso could only smile helplessly after seeing this small snake.
"its more like he is just toying because he is bored" Though Alfonso.
"Maybe I should ask Drakini what other abilities Chrono give him" Though Alfonso
"Hey Drakini what did Chronos giv-"
"Zzzz"
"Hey!"
"Zzzz"
Alfonso felt a sensation of Deja-vu.
"This is not possible" Though Alfonso.
"Hey Alfonso, what's up?"
Before Alfonso could say anything else, Cerberus entered to his room.
He didn't say anything else and jumped on Alfonso's lap.
"Hey Cerberus, why aren't you in your 'punishment'?" Asked Alfonso
"I finally got free from Demeter, I am tired, just let me hide here for some time okay?" Asked Cerberus.
"You can't do this, Demeter is REALLY scary when she gets mad, you know that right?"
Cerberus felt a small shiver on his back.
"I-its just for some time, I am sure that she wont say anything"
"I wouldn't be so sure" Thought Alfonso.
Alfonso suddenly though of something.
"Now that I think about it, said something about a powerful girl by Felio's side back at Arcadia, I didn't pay much attention back them but maybe I can figure out something else if he tells me in detail"
"Cerberus, back them you told us about a champion that use a strange power, do you recall how-"
"Zzzz"
"HEY!"
"Zzzz"
"Am I… am I some kind of somniferous!?" Though Alfonso.
"How could this happen? They are doing this on purpose right!?" Asked Alfonso.
"Alfonso have you seen Cerberus? H actually dared to escap-"
Just as Alfonso was wondering about this phenome, Demeter and Artemis entered his room, after seeing him, the both of them didn't know what to say.
Alfonso looked at Demeter.
"Don't say it" Said Alfonso.
Demeter looked at him once more.
"Don't"
"Zookeeper?"
Demeter couldn't help herself.
